Default has anyone tried these cheap 1800 mah chinese batteries from ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-x-1800mAh-batt...item4aa2caf8e2

it doesn't seem anyone has bought any from him yet. I'm wondering how the Android system deals with recharging these, since it is expecting a 1500 mah right? or will it adapt?

Yeah the android system doesn't really care, it measures the battery in percentages.

I've got a cheapo 2000mAH that I picked up for my Hero, it lasts a little longer than the OEM battery. I do notice a difference. When my phones battery is low, I can tell what battery is in it without opening it, just because I know how long I've been off the charger.

They're cheap. You can also find a deal for 2 1500 mAH batteries and a wall charger for $10. I went with that..
Android Devices:
HTC EVO 4G LTE - Stock
Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Stock
Motorola Xoom - Verizon - Rooted
HTC EVO 4G - Rooted
HTC Hero - Rooted
HTC T-Mobile G1 - Rooted

I'm buying one because they are red lol.. j/k well for $10 more than the China seller, you get "300mAH" more and this guy is in California so shipping should not take close to a month

I was expecting to be able to offer him $10, but he has that set on auto reject so I just went with the 2x 1500 mAh for $10.

I wonder what brand these batteries actually are? If they are just rebranded Mugen's, then according to batteryboss.org they are worse than OEM 1500mAh.

not quite sure what you mean, but ultimately yes, they are all from china. I just thought it was a good deal, but too bad it wasnt shipping from somewhere in the US. I'm not too thrilled to order things from across the world.

I bought the 2x plus charger for $10...They seem to be holding up pretty well, maybe a bit shorter life than the stock one, but if you have three batteries and can rotate through 2 of them while keeping one on the charger, you'll never have to plug your phone in again...I would say BUY BUY BUY, for the price, you can't go wrong, it's worth the standalone charger with a built in usb port.

I am using the 10$ 2x1500ma with the charger... free shipping too. I have only been using one of the Chinese batteries, they are great, they last about, or maybe a little less. I just put the real and the spare one in my wallet... so beast.
