noticed it charges ever so slightly slower then the oem one. The fact i can have one on the base charging, one in the phone as well
as a backup to bring with me when/if it dies is a great convenience and definitely worth the $9 i spent.

for the money it is a good option.
I done same & bought an Andida & universal off-board charger. Got bored of changing batt & rebooting so went with a AA powered usb power-pack fitted with Hybrio rechargable & modified to support AC fast charge, works well & still have the Andida as extra emergency when on long travels or need cell fully charged but don't have time to charge it ...
Some of the low cost large size & capacity cells with new battery cover are good option if you don't mind the big lump in your slim device.

its even possible, but not for that price. dont trust em, buy originals.

The size is usually at least directly proportional to the energy in the same type of battery. It's not physically possible, not until 2020, when MgIon batteries could be produced. And you can bet those are gonna be hella expensive if it comes out. It's been tested that for most phone usually OEM batteries are more efficient at energy/$.

There's no battery on the market having this capacity at this size. It's not possible - maybe in a few years, but NOT now.

My cousin bought a gold battery for HTC chacha for 15$ 2540mah, same size as original 1250mah... no problems, can last 1week without problem,

don't know if he's lucky or what but when I see that I just want to buy one too

more than luck, that battery been blessed or sprinkled in magic dust ...

i got one of those for myself.. what a waste of money..

I've got one of these gold ones. Seems to last just the same as any other battery. Probably not genuine, but it's not any worse or any better than other ones. Don't know how to test the mah properly though.

Those batteries should be banned - they are counterfeit and lies about actual capacity. Whats more, they are very dangerous to use - have fun with self-combustible cell.
