(Q) Cheap batteries + charger?

---

Hi all just wondered if anyone has any experience of the cheap 1500 mah batteries + charger bundles from ebay im sure u know the type i mean... I already have a cheap 2600 mah battery with the replacement back cover and the performance of that is good but im finding the extra bulk of the phone a bit of a drag. I went back to my old battery and cover the other night and the phone just looks and feels much sleeker... So i was thinking of maybe buying one of those 2 batteries and a charger bundles for a tenner and just switching batteries when flat. I just thought id ask to see if anyone has any experience of these and how there performance compares to the original 1500 mah batteries.

Also i saw a cheap 3600mah battery on ebay, bulky but maybe worth it if it outperforms my 2600mah which is already decent. My phone is stock and is hungry for power!

Gimme your thoughts people ...cheers

Whenever i get cheap batteries they never work as well

My 2600mah has been fine that was only a tenner but the size is too ugly. Im very interested in these 2300mah and 1950mah batteries i have seen on ebay... But everyone ive seen on here saying theyll buy one and review it seem to disapear... Maybe there exploding and killing people off lol (just kidding).

If anyone has a cheap 1950mah or 2300mah standard size replacement battery, could they please give me a review of its performance.

I bought one of those bundles. The batteries last about half as long as the original battery. On the plus side they also charge super fast when you plug the phone in. Overall for the price I'm happy, I'm never without a charged battery now.

Nice one cheers for the info... Half as long doesnt sound like what im after :-/ but very useful to know thanks

Regarding cheap batteries, it may be worth having a read of: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568
I know it's a different device/OS/manufacturer (Nokia N900), but the same principal probably applies.

An overview: cheap batteries from eBay usually have a resistor in them to set what capacity they report. So you may be buying a smaller capacity battery, faked to look bigger.

Now thats interesting. Nice one

The charger I use is a universal one from Gamestop that was originally for DS. It's a lot faster than the original.
