[Q] Where do you by your batteries?

So I've seen many threads concerning ebay+batteries = fake. I'd like to ask you guys where you get the not-so-fake batteries from (online). I've seen a couple of places that sell the (supposedly) original ones (A-Grade?) along with another listing for the fake ones which they call 'wholesale' or R-Grade (not sure what the R is for).
I want to know if there are any trusted sources to get an original battery. Tried calling the dealers in my country and they said that they don't issue phone 'parts' unless it's given for repairs.
so yeah,. where do you guys get your batteries from?

If you want to guarantee your battery is OEM than you need to buy it from either your local carrier store, Samsung, or a big box retailer like Best Buy. However, if you do not mind the extra bulk I cannot make a higher recommendation for a Zerolemon Battery/Case. I would link it, but I am a newer user and cannot post links. It is easy to find on Amazon and the price is great at $41.99.

Here is a review of the battery from this same forum.

I buy direct from Amazon. In my case amazon.ca.

I work at a busy cell/computer repair shop so we wind up ordering 10+ batteries out per device at a time since you never know when a dozen iphones may come in. We pull our parts from Mengtor and Global Direct Parts.
As far as personal opinion goes, Mengtor parts are generally junk for new(ish) phones. Until it's been out for a year, at least, we pass on any mengtor orders even if we save a decent amount simply because returns are highly frowned upon by us and customers (obviously, who wants to bring their phone back again?). However, After a year, or even two of parts being revised and worked on we migrate over from GDP to Mengtor since the warranty process for faulty parts we order goes through faster and they've worked out the kinks in their junk by then.
Global Direct Parts on the other hand, have never let me down. Sure we've ordered junk parts that are dead on arrival but for the most part they are our main supplier for all, excluding iphone 4/4s and prior iphones (due to well, being over a year old and the previous issues are taken care of).
The cost on GDP right now for you would be 22.89 for a battery on an S4 for Verizon (Here to link)
Our cost is about 15-18$ depending on if they are pushing stock for new orders to their warehouse or willing to hold onto it. Warranty process has always been excellent as well for when we get a bunk battery, or other part. Also, they generally offer OEM and aftermarket parts depending on which you want. The link goes to an OEM variant. Hope this helps!

OEM from Amazon I believe is good.
can't go wrong with OEM

Either amazon or preferably the Samsung store.

I bought ones of these, $8.75 & free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LX02I92/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've always had good experiences with Anker. They're also available on Amazon, and unlike several of the knockoffs, they guarantee NFC compatibility if they list it.

If u can find a way of shipping items from china's tmall to ur place, they do hv authentic batteries from samsung's factories in china, with the retail packaging and all. It is a cheap option if u can find a way to save on shipping.
If not, I would just get anker batteries as they are reliable.

How about the duration of "non original" batteries. A friend of mine has purchase a couple of them at Amazon and the duration is lower than the original.

I bought mine from Amazon and using some service to ship it to my country, Anker 7800mAh, to be specific. Works like a charm.

I just got an anker 2600mah battery from a local seller. Works great. Will see how long it lasts. My zerolemon lasted around 8 months.

U could find any online seller that has the real deal for a cheaper price if u know how to spot fakes. Otherwise, if u really have to get the samsung one, u gotta pay more to buy it off the official retail stores.

As much as I hate paying Samsung for their horribly overpriced accessories, batteries included, I did end up buying my spare battery from Samsung, but I waited until they had a 50% off accessories sale. I wasn't in a rush, so I just waited until a sale came up. Call it a compromise.

I buy an original samsung battery from aliexpress.com

Legit OEM battery.

Hello everyone,
recently I have been having charging/discharging issues with the batter and I have figure out to change the batter. I went to Amazon/Ebay looking for good batteries but ended up backing out due to the fact that all reviews bring up the legitimacy of these batteries. So here I'm trying to find a good battery replacement.
Thanks in advance.

I've heard MD / Mobile Defenders is a good supplier but I don't know where you reside in but they are for the U.S.

Thanks, I'll do some search and see if I can find a viable way to purchase from them.

i bought a replacement battery from ebay. not samsung directly but said samsung. Whether the battery is legit im not sure but i replaced my fat bulging battery and have had the one from ebay in my s6. considering it has lasted me since last summer and ive had the same if not better battery life and for the price of 10 bucks (already owned the tools) its been good. The replacement process is easy and i am a novice cell repair man. besides getting a bad battery you can always return it and get a replacement or try another vendor. Godspeed fella

I don't know if you're still looking for original battery, but here's the official Samsung parts distributor in EU
S6 Battery
S7 Edge battery
The S7 Edge battery is 3600mah and compatible with the S6
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/4vcsct/mod_s7_edge_battery_in_s6/

Legit OEM Battery
When I was looking replacement battery, I saw Mobilesentrix, you should try it.

Anyone bought an S6 battery from Mobile Defenders?

I haven't had much luck with after market batteries. I bought several off eBay, and have also bought off Amazon, and none of them worked as well as the original OEM. The OEM battery is hold and doesn't hold much of a charge, and I found zero improvement with the after market fake ones.
The only place I can find an OEM battery is from here for $33.10: https://www.samsungparts.com/GH43-04419C-BATTERY.html?oldpart=GH43-04419A
But Mobile Defenders sells them for much cheaper ($5.99-$8.99): https://www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=samsung+s6+battery
I just want to know about Mobile Defender's quality. Am I just going to get the exact same issues as all the other fake batteries? Or should I just stick with OEM? The other question I have is, is "samsungparts.com" an actual Samsung website? It's not samsung.com, and that is why I am asking. Plus, when I talk to Samsung in the chat (from samsung.com), they tell me they don't sell the S6 batteries and I have to go to an "authorized repair center." But the repair centers (Ufixit) want to charge $99 when I already have the back off and I can replace it myself.

Samsung parts is the official Samsung partner to sell phone parts and you'll get original Samsung parts but they are not Samsung directly as they don't sell directly parts to customers

I think what I may do is buy the Mophie Juice pack instead. It's at Walmart for about $20. I don't know what battery life on the S6 is like new, since I got the phone used at about 2 years old. But from what I'm reading, is that it really sucked in the first place. So a battery pack may be my best bet.

samsung s6 battery
If you want to buy original Battery then go for samsungparts. Otherwise, find more s6 battery suppliers like mobilesentrix and others, compare price and features so it will help you to buy a good quality battery.

Where to buy replacement battery in India?

Best Replacement Battery

Hi everyone,
Recently noticed that my battery life hasn't been as it good as it use to be, so i downloaded the OnePlus diagnostic app from apkmirror and sure enough battery health is around 75%. So I'm looking to replacing the battery. Just wondering if any one has recommends for replacement battery. Contacted OnePlus for direct sale of battery, but they won't sell parts, they only offer full repair service.

I would try to search the best option in AliExpress. But if I were you I would replace it at Oneplus.
Did they gave you a price for the battery replacement?
