Generic 1800 batteries

AOD_Corwin · Nov 11, 2011

I'm thining about ordering some generic 1800 batteries for the touch 4g 2 which I'm told will fit the epic. Ebay has 3 and a charger for 11 bucks including shipping. My concern is I have heard one possible reason for random reboots are non oem batteries putting out unsteady current. I have only generic ones right now. Who's had good luck vrs bad with these types of batteries

Wait so you already have some?? Shouldn't your experience tell you all you need to know?? Unless you meant that you only have the generic 1500mAh battery.

I know the Anker 1800mAh is supposed to be pretty good but since I've gone with the 3500mAh fatt batts....NOTHING else compares, not even the OEM 1800mAh

You found a 3500 that fits??
I have some genric 1500's right now at I get random shut downs though I think that is gb related.
I found on ebay 3 1800's and a wall charger for 11 bucks out of hong kong. Free shipping.. sounds worth the experiment

Yeah, I use the one's with the extended back cover, nothing compares to their value or battery life.

I'd be interested in seeing how the generic 1800s do though, I have one 1500 generic and it's never given me random restarts but it was a little weaker than my original OEM. I'd say go for the bundle if your interested, you'll easily get your $11 worth.

I just can't go back to slim batteries anymore myself

How thick does it make it... I bought. The extra large battery for the orginal touch pro.. made it look like a gray twinkie

It makes it thicker but it feels nice when you're using the keyboard IMHO, you get used to it.

the phone is about maybe 3/4" from 1/2" just from using my eye's best guess

I wouldn't recommend the generic they don't last as long even though they say 1800mah. get the OEM Samsung ones for the epic touch $22 shipped. I just got one it's great

I heard the Anker 1800 batts were decent too

I got "OEMs" for my Epic and my wife's Evo that I doubt are really OEM, though they say so. Life seems less than our many-times-cycled original equipment. I got mine RIGHT before I read the 1800mah thread, so I have multiple reasons to be po'd at myself.

I have the 1800 batteries and found I only got around 2 more hours from them. The trade off for 2 extra hours were not worth extra thick phone.

Extra thick? I thought these Epic Touch 1800's fit in the Epic without replacing the back plate.

Not sure about the generic ones but the OEM ones definitely fit. Rocking one now and it is awesome. Finally don't have to charge my phone during the day. Highly recommended.

I just bought these generics and they got here yesterday I'm still working on calibrating them. So far they seem to work great. Ill post back after I have a chance to kill the battery and recharge it a few times. On a side note what's a good app to find what apps are killing my battery just so I can get a good idea of what these battery can do.

Well I will have to say these batterys work very well. I get way more life out of these then I do my stock 1500 mah. Plus I have 3 of them so I am able to keep a extra on me just in case. I would recomend buying them plus they were cheap

beezie42, what is the name of the seller you bought the battery from? I found several vendors on ebay that have that deal. Can you post a link to the item you bought? Thanks!

How about these generic batteries?

Hello XDA, big fan behind the scene so I am coming out.

Found these Epic 4g Touch batteries and want to see what you great experts thought about them before buying them.

Just wanted to know if this will fit my Sprint Epic 4g SPH-D700 phone with stock back side plate.

From buy.com : GTMax 3X Standard Lithium-Ion Battery+Battery Charger+Lanyard for Samsung Epic Touch 4G D710 - 088515984282
sorry I can't post link cuz I am a newber...=(

They are generic 1800mAh that I have also seen on ebay.

Looks like a great deal to get 3X 1800mAh Batteries plus a charger for less than the price of a Samsung OEM 1800mAh battery.

Thanks for your input...=)

I just got 2 of these and a universal battery charger for about $20 w/ Amazon Prime shipping =).

Took pics of my first charge cycle. Let's see if this works...

That's almost 3 hours of screen time, 40 minutes of talking, 10 hours total. They do seem better compared to my OEM Samsung 1500mah. And they're cheap, to boot!
