[Q] Anyone know of a trusted seller on ebay for batteries?

---

Anyone have a good experience from a specific ebay seller for batteries? I've been wanting to get a spare but I'm so wary of ending up with a fake and/or defective battery that will damage my phone. That said, I really don't want to dish out $100 for one from my carrier either. Even if someone knows where I can pick up an OEM battery for a decent price (ie not $100) it would be greatly appreciated. I'm with Telus, so don't know if there are any good places for OEM's in Canada. Thanks in advance!

PS: not looking for an extended life battery, just a regular one.

Vzw website, 39.99 gets u a battery plus charger and a splitter to charge both at the same time.

so fresh and so superclean.

Thanks, I hope they'll ship to Canada, if so I'm in business

edit:

No such luck, only US =(

I purchased the spare battery system from mrhitonline on eBay and it's legit. I'd link you to it, but the board does allow me to due to my non-existant post count.

Got two batteries and charger from dailypc on amazon. Not oem but damn good purchase. Best decision I made for this phone. 25 bucks too
Sent from my sch-i500

Is the Telus Fascinate's battery the exact same as the Verizon Fascinate's? I'm not sure if that's the case since they are fairly different for phones that have the same name. Just wanted to point that out since everyone is suggesting VZW stuff.

I use EBay on occasion, however I just purchased this 3500mAH battery from Amazon...gonna try it out

By default the phone will bitch about an unsupported battery if you try to charge it. Even most modified kernels out there don't have the code that checks to make sure your battery is Verizon approved removed, and will refuse to charge batteries not specifically made for the Fascinate.

I am using a $6 battery made for the i9000 and just got it charging tonight, but it required a modded kernel and I'm afraid it'll blow up or something. Thanks Verizon
