Does anyone know of a vendor that has legitimate original oem new batteries for sale?

[oscarthegrouch]

I've searched amazon and the bad ratings of claimed exact replacments are full of counterfeits. Ebay, forget about it. I've considered ordering from sprint but they want $50 for a battery and external charger that God knows who it was rebadged from. I've also considered anker. Some people love them and some say they see the performance taking a steep dive in less than a year. Many say the anker external charger is crap and falls apart quickly. I don't know if the phone or the Samsung external charger would beotch that the battery isn't official and refuse to charge it. I've seen this many times with both the phone and charger, when the hardware was definitely oem.

I have 3 "oem" batteries and 2 "oem" chargers. I write on the battery, the number in which I put it into service. So far, the battery that came with the phone lasts longer than the second. The 2nd is showing signs of buldging and erratic charging levels. After playing games for an hour and a half, it is saying I have 20 something percent. After a reboot, the number jumps to 70ish. My third and newest battery lasts the longest.

Any suggestions?

I recommend sprint or Samsung itself. It's just not worth a counterfeit that can damage your phone and won't hold a charge.
I had 3 batteries for my note 3. 2 from sprint one from Amazon. The Amazon started loosing charging function about 3 months into it. It was the same vendor that I had purchased my prior Samsung batteries from.
I got it because sprint stopped having them in Stock at a store and the eta was 3 weeks.
