I purchased a new 1800mah battery on Ebay (listed as I777 battery) and charged it offline using a wall charger.
When I installed the battery into the phone, it started up and got stuck on the samsung logo screen with the yellow triangle.
I tried putting back the old battery but same problem persisted.
I was able to re-boot into recovery and navigate there but any re-boot resulted in getting stuck on the logo screen.
Finally I did a factory reset and only then the phone started up into android all the way.
Is it possible the new battery caused this issue ?

I tried at first to clean the caches and reboot but that didn't help.
it seems the DATA section got somehow corrupted as I couldn't even run backup.
I had to wipe DATA and format SYSTEM and re-flash the rom.
Now I'm hesitant to try the new battery again.
