Where to get 1800mAh OEM Batteries that FIT!

HeadOfMax · Feb 17, 2012

I just ordered the OEM 1800Mah from Newegg. Something about OEM just makes me happy.

My stock battery has been jumping all over the place saying it is charged when it is not and loosing the bulk of its charge during reboots.

It should be here this week. Good thread.

Doesn't sound like OEM is making you happy lol!

You can try the "shaving" technique

I just got my batteries and they dont work when they fit, I read on your technique but i cant really understand, do you think you could explain more in detail or post a video?

before you shave your battery slot, give this a try - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22664443&postcount=181

you just need a folded piece of paper

Thanks it works great!

My only concern now is the back cover of the vibrant. The volume side of the phones cover doesn't really snap all the way down, and because of this, i have to push down on the volume down key harder. Did this sort of thing happen to you?

I ordered from eBay one of those oem/fake/misterious 1800mah EB625152VA batteries from HK for 4$, but it never arrived here.
So I bought the same one from a local dealer (it was just more expensive).
It fits well, and the phone seems to be a little heavier. I'm charging it for the first time... if it will last more than 14hours, it'll definitely be better than the stock one.

1d10h... way better than the stock one.

Yes same here. I use a case so i can't really see it but i was able to get it to snap on the volume side and not the power side which may solve your problem also

First cycle with the 2300 andida only lasted 8 hours : (
Hopefully second cycle fairs better...

your piece of paper is likely too long, i had the same problem but once i trimmed down the paper so it was minimally long and a bit of work i was able to get my phone to seal like normal, as far as battery life the first cycle tends to be low in battery life, mine was 10 hrs 1st cycle, 15 hrs 2nd cycle im on 3rd cycle

5.5 hours in at 70%
1.25 hrs screen on
.75 hrs of music playing using poweramp

so it gets better, patience

Thank god, cause today was my first day with it, and it's bad, but like you said, it gets better

I am getting about 35 hrs on every cycle now, hopefully yours sees those kings numbers as well

After that 8 hour first cycle, it finally died at about 12 hours. Huge improvement. hopefully it keeps climbing.

I've updated the original post because I've determined that Samsung actually has no idea what a serial number actually is and is actually putting batch numbers on the batteries instead. So getting the same number on different batteries isn't a sign of a fake. Sorry about the confusion.

I got my OEM 1800 battery a few days ago. My old battery was getting an average of 6 hours. New one got 12 hours the first day, 22 the second and am at 18 hours with 6% left on today the third day. Granted my original battery was a year and a half old....

All in all I would say definitely worth the $20.

Hello, to be honest I know nothing about cellphone batterys, but as far as I understand, the only difference between the original 1500mAh batterys and the 1800/2300 mAh batterys is the capacity, but voltage and other settings are the same.

So is it safe to use? Can I damage my phone if I use them? Do I have to make a modification or something to my phone before using it? or just put it in and turn on the phone? Many questions, but just wanted to make sure of what am I doing

~Cheers!

Several of us are now using these batteries. The 1800 aligns with the contacts better. The 2300 Andida generally doesn't line up correctly and a bit of paper is put in the top left to force the contact pads to line up.

I've been using the Andida 2300 for over a week now - without issues other than much longer phone use.
