Default [BATTERY][unboxing/review] Anker 1900Mah

Hey, My first unboxing/review so tell me if I have missed something, The batteries are here For 2 of them, along with a wall charger with a USB port on, for £16 (Used to be £12) And on it's own for £8 here, There will be hopefully alot of pictures and info through out, and currently I don't know how well they perform as I have only had 'em a couple hours, or if that they are actually 1900Mah, I'll take of the whit bit later and find out, however, 2 batteries for £16 with a wall charger and a year warranty, I'm not going to complain

All the pics were taken with my SGSII and I have re-sized them, Hopefully they are not to small but I didn't want them to be huge, Also sory for any blur, I don't have the steadiest hand in the world


First the box, Starting right from the beginning here if anyone cares, Very simplistic, cardboard and says Made in China on the top, nothing too special.




Inside the box, Packed neatly.




What's in the box, the 2 batteries, charger and UK adapter (You'll see why later)




The charging unit, Which has (I think, Never been, there) a USA Plug built in, which...




Flips out to look like this.





The UK plug on it, (It slides right on)




Anddd,, Where the battery goes.




The battery (Both sides) With all the info on, Looks and feels high quality.






With the battery in.




Some of the instruction booklet (If you can read it)





It whilst charging, The light is actually nicer in person and more pink (Also fit's the original battery.. Obviously )




It fully charged/not charging, Blue/Purple light (again looks brighter and nicer in person)




Some comparison photo's between the Stock and Anker battery.









And that's all, I'll post how well it performs asap, But to be fair im going to give it the 3 recharge cycles as stated in the manual, Then compare it to the original.


Thanks for reading

Just turned everything on and clocked it up now to drain the battery , Should be done by tomorrow ,

I guess it's to save money on Samsung's half, But I'm not too sure either.

Had the same battery on my sensation, worked like a charm and gave me an extra 20-30% more juice. Don't know how it will preform on the SGS II though..

I'm curious too. My cheap Chinese battery's say their 1800mAh and is more like 1300-1400mAh which was no surprise at the time because its easy to print whatever on the sticker without proper testing. See here for proper testing http://translate.googleusercontent.c...MUK2mZPX9GLr8Q and a few more batteries http://translate.google.com/translat...h-2430mah.html

The charger is identical to the one I got with my ebay batteries. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....:X:RTQ:AU:1123

If you can't tell I'm a little sceptical about the 1900mAh claim but you never know. So I have also clicked subscribe

As soon as you tell me how it works, I'm buying it in the states. This one looks very promising. Is it the same size as the original? Thanks.

same size as the original, however as far as I can tell its ever so slightly thicker and heavier but not noticeable, also it seems promosing : D I've been trying to drain and I'm still at 16 percent, where as my stock would have easily died by now

It should improve after a few drain/charge cycles. Do you think this is the best battery without increasing the size of your phone?
