Anker 1900mAh

FYI I got two Anker (1900mAh) off Amazon yesterday. It fits and works but a few times today the battery icon shows a ? and the settings show -1%. After about a minute the correct % comes back, not sure if it's the batteries or just this one. I'll try the second one tomorrow.

Really interested to get an opinion on battery life with the Anker batteries.

I am probably going to end up using them as backups, both of them take time before the % of power left will display. I never got the full 5 discharge/recharge done on one of them, but even without that it was lasting longer then the stock, as it should. I see someone else ordered some too, I'll be interested to see if those have the display issue.

Can you give any indication of how much more than stock you would say they last? Is it the near 20% as it should be?

I also get the question mark on the battery, It seems to be when the phone wakes up or when I plug it in it takes a few seconds to find the juice amount then it will start charging..

The battery is lightly taller then stock but it fits perfectly inside of the phone case. Tobad about the battery meter. Im going to run it for the day see if the ? will stop.

I would advise not to buy yet.

i too have the "?" on grey market batteries

i have bought several grey market batteries and get the question mark also, i've noticed these batteries are 3.7v and the oem battery is 3.8, i wonder if that is the culprit? I am hoping these hong kong manufacturers will get it right soon, i did find an oem battery for about $23 after shipping and am contemplating buying it, and yes my chargers don't fully charge my oem battery either, its always at 91 or 93%
