David from brisbane here thank you for your expertise and advise you have now convinced me to spend the money and go to samsung to buy a new battery for my s3 and not get it cheep from ebay-something my dad has been trying to warn me aganst for a week! your clues match other u tubers I've watched. have a good day.
An excellent tutorial, thank you. I like the way you show each point and step through them systematically. I also like how you explain the reason for the difference in the physical size of the batteries. .
Very helpful video, thank you! Its time to find a good replacement for my stock original S2 battery, so I hope many of these tips will help me. I hate counterfeiters.
Thank you, this has been a great help for me to determine that my (presumably new) battery is genuine. It's just not holding charge very well! 12 hours and already down a quarter.
I ordered a battery from ebay, and it came today. Everything you show here is what I got, except the shim. One thing I did do extra though, is to scan the QR code on my original battery, and came up with a listing from Amazon.com for $15. The code on the fake takes me to a search results not found page. The code on the ebay page, is the real one that takes me to Amazon. Thank you.
THANK YOU MAN YOU ARE THE BEST AND A LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!!!! I BOUGHT A BATTERY AND IT WAS A COUNTERFEIT I GOT IT REPLACED TY MAN UR THE BEST AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another easy test is using a barcode scanner. Scan the barcode on the battery, if OEM it will show the model number of battery, if fake it shows the serial number. Another thing to look at is the solid white rectangular strip opposite of from the 3 gold contacts, solid white is OEM, if it's checkered it's fake.
HI, on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus battery I bought, I also noticed that the gold contacts on the fake were deeper set compared to the original, that was the only outwardly sign I noticed, also my batter should have had NFC in the battery, but on fake it did not only testing this with android beam can you tell, obviously the fake didn't hold the charge at all. thanks for sharing good video.
Would be great to know the difference in performance. Battery testers are not terribly expensive. I'm considering buying one that can test various types of batteries. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. It's helpful.
Hi Mate, Thanks a lot for sharing this information. It was very very very helpful. But Just wondering can we tell the buyer that we dismantle their battery and that's how we found it is fake? Doesn't it void any of their liabilities for the replacement? Because I bought some li-Ion batteries I know they are fake but just can't prove it. Thanks heaps.
I have these Fake Battery from Ebay for a year now, and they work Great..!! I pay only $10 dollars for two battery + wall charger. will be ordering more for my upcoming Vacation.
I tore off the wrapper from the back like you did at the 8:15 minute mark. Would it be safe to wrap the wrapper back on, and stick it into my phone, even thought the wrapper is a bit crinkly now? There was some ripping of the square thing on the back that looks like those anti-theft devices stuck on merchandise that are magnetic or something that cause those gates to beep if a theif tries to walk through them. The one piece of thin copper ribbon that is at the top is still intact, so does that mean it'll still work? Is there a chance they'll leak or explode inside my phone?
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Here in Brazil we have some hesitation even with official retailers. I just bought one for my wife cellphone and was looking for how to detect the battery legitimacy. Fortunately, given the characteristics on your video, the one I have bought seems to be original. Thanks!
I bought a battery from Amazon about 1year ago. I did the test and found that it is a legit one. Thanks for the info though. I will test the future ones. Even though I got a legit one the battery already needs to be replaced. Is that usually the time frame for replacing ?
I always try to use any Japanese product cause these are reliable with premium quality with high lifespan. Your Samsung battery cell is genuine "Made In Japan". Japan one of the most toppest & biggest quality product manufacturing country in the world. I love any Japanese product :)
I have the same fake battery you were demonstrating. It's for a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic touch 4G. Where can you find a legitimate OEM replacement? I don't mind paying higher prices if I get the real thing.
Great video I loved it! By the way, you said at the end of the video that these sellers would initially buy these fake for $4-6. You mean more like 40-60 cents! haha. Thanks for the info, I was able to buy batteries on eBay and run the test like waht you taught us! :D
people are jealous of british accent right ? anyways nice video .. so is there any way to check the battery with its serial number ?? Like you can check the phone easily there must be a way to check batteries as well ? Because I do not want to rip apart the battery paper/aluminium cover i have bought the phone as a gift. It looks very well made and details are high. Printing on the silver part of battery is with good dark colored ink. It says cell made in japan/assembled in china .. ALSO the writing is very organized and in order like we use the option (CTRL J) justify in MS WORD the printing on battery does reflect that its a good machine printing. The printing of the black part of battery will always have a slight dull white color printing not PURE bright white (which is fake). CLOSELY examining the battery black part you will see the paper is HQ one ! The paper on it on the top is very well adhered on the surface .. and four corners of battery are very well detailed i mean of course all four corners are plastic but u can tell straight away its not a cheap design and material and machining/moulding or what ever. These are things which i can see without ripping the battery outer cover .. but if you bought not as a gift for your own use then u can of course rip off the battery cover WHICH IS THE BEST WAY TO CONFIRM if battery is original. So great video buddy :)
Anyway, people must respect my ability to check these counterfeitable things like batteries, even I did a gift. Its okay to tell them about this situation.
Yup, I also just got my Ebay' full refund on 2 FAKE Samsung microSD 64gb cards. Put it this way, if any brand name products that have super low price on the web then it is likely they are 99.99% fake. So beware! PS: Also there are many Ebay seller posting and boasting new cell phone made by unknown China companies that had a hell of a system specs such as quad core 2.3gb, octa core, long last battery life and so on, BEWARE of these also because what they claimed of their system are not all true. Before purchase these phones, do ask for the Antutu benchmark test and also other tests that would show their true system specs. Request and demand, this is the only way that you could protect yourself from the fraudulent.
Just got a battery for my S3 off of Ebay and it's shiny on the inside and outside of wrapper but the water damage detecter is just flat black plastic. Guessing it is obviously a fake as well.
You would think that the feedback of a Seller would show comments about fake batteries. Some Sellers that I know for sure are selling fakes have a high feedback percentage and very little indication in the comments about fake batteries. However, a few other Sellers have many comments about fake batteries. Ebay should monitor feedback comments for words such as "fake", "counterfeit", etc. When a Seller gets several comments in the feedback with those words, it should trigger an investigation by Ebay.
The Great Gig In The Sky I bought a higher capacity battery for my Samsung S5,and it seems to be fine. Although I checked a few reviews, not just one, of the particular battery, because there were several postings of same product .So now I know where to buy them and no more searches.
The Great Gig In The Sky You are 100% correct. Ebay doesn't care. I got that impression after seeing how many Sellers were selling fakes and several have been doing it for a long time. Since you have purchased batteries from many sellers, you'd probably agree with me that most sellers on Ebay are selling fake batteries.
So what's the point in peeling off the battery and damaging it further just to see that 's genuine or not ?? I still lose it anyway , when my phone is waiting for its battery ?
Thanks for the info. Your video is very clear. Looks like there are two kinds of branded products, the real brand and the shady nameless brand and nameless is scary because the safety aspect is not guaranteed.
Maybe I'm an idiot but why would you want to buy a "legitimate" samsung battery online? Batteries in general loose capacity sitting around unused. For older phones just buy after market batteries that meet the phones requirement. Imo.
Just checked my Galaxy note battery bought on UK ebay. The battery has no water lable and the outer lable is shiny Aluminum on the inside. The seller has been removed from ebay. No dought they will be back under another guise. I would now recommend if you intend to buy from a none registered seller, message them and ask if the battery is possibly fake and let them know you will be checking if it a fake. See what reaction you get. Are the batteries safe to use still? That's the question.
I live in Saigon, Vietnam. On June 13th 2015, I bought a counterfeit LG 3000mah battery for my LG G3 cell phone for $3.50 at a brick and mortar shop. I haven't peeled the sticker or tested to check it's authenticy. The performance is terrible. A full charge lasts me until 4pm. Just from common sense, I know it's fake. Just wanted to toss out that info.
Please could you show us a little better again, to refresh us now in 2016, about what is under the film of the 2 batteries, we has not seen well enough!! Better if you peel off and attacks several times the label sheet, you know, so to see all around a little better than so, because at the moment it is not entirely clear ... Are you perhaps able to do all this in no more than half an hour with your slow motion style, deep tecnical explanations at the same time, or we ask too much?
Hey man, I also have some observations on counterfeit batteries and the genuine ones. The counterfeit ones don't last much longer and plus, it overheats and the charging goes unstable. Its like my phone just powers off in 60 to 50℅ and when I charge, its 0% and after some few minutes I rubbed the counterfeit battery on some cloth and when I turn on my phone, the battery just goes 75%+ and it decreases every 1 min. And the genuine ones, they last longer. Nice Video tho. I dont trust the world anymore.
Also the plus and minus are cheaply made on the fake one ..plus the code that u scan is pretty clear on the original and on the fake is kinda blurred that's why when you scan it nothing comes up
Companies like Samsung out source their production, meaning they have different facilities all over the world. The fact is, these are both legitimate genuine batteries made by Samsung in Japan, finished in China and Korea. Stop spreading misinformation.
Hi thanks for this! I just brought a new battery for my samsung s3 from our local samsung service center i didnt believe its real coz it says made in china. Comparing it with my old batteries which has been with me for 2 years now and was the battery included when i bought my phone which says made in korea assembled in vietnam. I scratched both batteries and i slightly pulled off the covering of both batteries which showed me that their colors is the same as outside. But i didnt pulled everything out completely coz im afraid i wont be able to put it back. But both have black plastics inside. But i dont think samsung service centers will be selling fake batteries though. I wish not.
Hello, your video is great, but there is another video showing that someone has a fake battery that does not have this plastic.. so can you maybe find some more ways to determine wether it's fake? thanks
This could really hurt the reputation of a legitimate maker if the fake battery has a catastrophic charging failure. I would be more worried about a potential fire hazard during a charge up though that's still remote fortunately.
Mine came with the phone and says "Made in Japan/Finished in China". I found a cheap one on eBay which only says "Made in China" and the sticker looks like it is been put on later on. So should that be a fake one (I was looking for a new battery for my Galaxy Ace, the old Ace (S5830)).
i can tell without pulling off the label.. one on right the black is far less black then the left... the silver is far less silver..so they dont use quality control
I just bought from amazon one, label difference: old one made in china finished in vietnam, new one: made in Korea, finished in China. I checked the inside for both batteries: old one white, new shiny ''mirrorish''. New one on top: charge pins on right hand side, left hand side is a small metal strip. Old one: same as my new one but on the left hand side, no metal small strip. I did not removed the entire stickers on both batteries, because i dont know if it is harmful or what so ever. Can anyone tell me, with the description given above if I bought a fake samsung galaxy SII battery?! Many thanks
One of the differences with my fake batteries is that that the NFC will not work with these batteries installed. The NFC antenna is in the S4 battery and it looks like the fake doesn't have it.
dude take a look at the printing on the battery , for the fake one the serial number has * before it (*s/n)and also the quality of QR code is low and it is far away from the serial number :)
that's right but irrelevant. Samsung makes batteries in several countries including Malaysia and Singapore. It's not what is printed on the outside that makes them real or fake.
I just bought my battery straight from samsung, just wouldn't chance ebay one after all the fakes going around, paid £19 with delivery, worth it if you unsure.. should get it tmw, hope it's not fake ! 😮 ! Be back on here tmw comparing it to this video 😉
The best way i have found so far is by the backside finish of the label. shiny silver = FAKE. Now this only applies to Samsung cell phone batteries. I have several samsung batteries from many models of phones and they all have the pewter color on the inside.
on my S5 mini batterys I spotted on the Original is printed :"Assembled in Korea" and on the Fake its :"Assembled in China" too, and you can tell side by side that the one I bought from ebay is fake because when you comepare the fonts they have on some parts a different writing, and it doesn't even have an NFC Chip xD And It overloaded everytime, so the battery was running down very fast, and then It goes up to like 70% or something, now I'm going to buy an Original Battery in an Samsung authentificated Store. Greetings from germany
ungestreckt i can check if the fake battery has nfc just buy sending se file to another phone with back to back feature right? that way ill be certain if i have a nfc support?
I just have few questions that black on the back most people say should remove because company made it to a secret like when you took a picture directly well be uploaded to cumputer and they well see everything its that true or not
Great, thank you. I just got a mail from one seller that they send me a new battery as you stated on the video. And he asked me to revoke my negative feedback. Maybe ill do that if i get a genuine battery. One more thing you can spot on a fake battery is that compared to the oroginal the printing is not as sharp and good as on the original.
So the question is, where can I get the REAL version battery for this product? Desperately need it. Amazon gives me 3 seperate sources none being the original quality. It's for a Samsung Avant from MetroPCs thank you
when I bought an samsung s3 batt....if the batt percent is %40 it will turn bright and it will off automatically....this is rather annoying to me after for many months so if u guys can help me with a few ideas pls leave a comment:)
damn, just found out I bought a fake samsung battery for my galaxy S II. After peeling the label, 1400mah was written as opposed to the standard 1650mah which is also written on the label.
at least it don't record every thing off your phone .. safer ,, size don't matter .. its not a liquid lead batter // meaning the bigger the stronger "lol"

It's also good idea to check ratings and comments on sellers before buying. I'll check my battery if if ever have to buy on internet as you have.

Some Sellers that I know for sure are selling fakes have a high feedback percentage and very little indication in the comments about fake batteries.

Does the seller says in the description that the battery is ORIGINAL ?
A fake battery can crash your phone, take it out as soon as you realise any error at all after putting it in, no matter how small.
I live in Saigon, Vietnam. On June 13th 2015, I bought a counterfeit LG 3000mah battery for my LG G3 cell phone for $3.50 at a brick and mortar shop.

Also do you notice an asterisk on left hand side right before the S/N? there is not one in one of the batteries. that could be the game changer.
The one that has the asterisk is the fake one.
helps so much! thank you very much sir for uploading this video. :)
God, don't repeat yourself a hundred times.
Hello,
your video is great, but there is another video showing that someone has a fake battery that does not have this plastic.. so can you maybe find some more ways to determine wether it's fake?
thanks
thank you up loader; it helped a lot
.
Truth Hunter me too!
Probably is safe. But you will have a shorter duration from it. I have some from dealextreme, but I only use them as backup.
This could really hurt the reputation of a legitimate maker if the fake battery has a catastrophic charging failure. I would be more worried about a potential fire hazard during a charge up though that's still remote fortunately.
I bought a bettery for my galaxy s4 it comes from Hong Kong it's gold and saids 3300hp do they work better than the original one from Samsung???
haha
3300hp? It almost has the same horsepower as a second generation diesel locomotive! I'd keep it.
Mine came with the phone and says "Made in Japan/Finished in China". I found a cheap one on eBay which only says "Made in China" and the sticker looks like it is been put on later on. So should that be a fake one (I was looking for a new battery for my Galaxy Ace, the old Ace (S5830)).
i can tell without pulling off the label.. one on right the black is far less black then the left... the silver is far less silver..so they dont use quality control
YOUSOBUSTED can you please give us the name of the sellers who sold you the fake batteries.
www.ebay.com/itm/171279216423?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The page I bought mine from.
Guys search UA-cam for "counterfeit battery from China behind the scene". Not only selling fake battery but selling used oem battery as new.
thanks a lot
Thank you from Buenos Aires!
I just bought from amazon one, label difference: old one made in china finished in vietnam, new one: made in Korea, finished in China. I checked the inside for both batteries: old one white, new shiny ''mirrorish''. New one on top: charge pins on right hand side, left hand side is a small metal strip. Old one: same as my new one but on the left hand side, no metal small strip. I did not removed the entire stickers on both batteries, because i dont know if it is harmful or what so ever. Can anyone tell me, with the description given above if I bought a fake samsung galaxy SII battery?!
Many thanks
harmful? lol, its safe. Maybe if with the sticker you peel off battery bank metal case :D
can you tell me who times are that what mine is printed on
One of the differences with my fake batteries is that that the NFC will not work with these batteries installed. The NFC antenna is in the S4 battery and it looks like the fake doesn't have it.
True, but I don't think this is relevant for the S2.
I have seen fakes with a working NFC. But most of them do not have the NFC antenna.
dude take a look at the printing on the battery , for the fake one the serial number has * before it (*s/n)and also the quality of QR code is low and it is far away from the serial number :)
that's right but irrelevant. Samsung makes batteries in several countries including Malaysia and Singapore. It's not what is printed on the outside that makes them real or fake.
Yup! Has happened to me. On my case I didn't even have to open the label to realize it was fake.
So if it has the filler and silver back label it real?
I just bought my battery straight from samsung, just wouldn't chance ebay one after all the fakes going around, paid £19 with delivery, worth it if you unsure.. should get it tmw, hope it's not fake ! 😮 ! Be back on here tmw comparing it to this video 😉
Carol Ogo How was it?
I noticed on the positive and negative symbols the fake it protruded out and the original were inverted
The best way i have found so far is by the backside finish of the label.
shiny silver = FAKE.
Now this only applies to Samsung cell phone batteries.
I have several samsung batteries from many models of phones and they all have the pewter color on the inside.
on my S5 mini batterys I spotted on the Original is printed :"Assembled in Korea" and on the Fake its :"Assembled in China" too, and you can tell side by side that the one I bought from ebay is fake because when you comepare the fonts they have on some parts a different writing, and it doesn't even have an NFC Chip xD And It overloaded everytime, so the battery was running down very fast, and then It goes up to like 70% or something, now I'm going to buy an Original Battery in an Samsung authentificated Store.
Greetings from germany
ungestreckt i can check if the fake battery has nfc just buy sending se file to another phone with back to back feature right? that way ill be certain if i have a nfc support?
I just bought what appear to be fake batteries. Country of origin though on both my original Samsung and the copy is China not Japan.
From my experience, I would say that they are all fakes on eBay. I’ve just bought a genuine S5 battery directly from Samsung for £19 delivered.
Many thanks man! subbed.
is there any better way to know the real one when i buy it in the market
i cant just take the battery that is not mine and do this
so any help ??
Lovee your.vdo...really informative
Great Video - very helpful
I just have few questions that black on the back most people say should remove because company made it to a secret like when you took a picture directly well be uploaded to cumputer and they well see everything its that true or not
Great, thank you. I just got a mail from one seller that they send me a new battery as you stated on the video. And he asked me to revoke my negative feedback. Maybe ill do that if i get a genuine battery.
One more thing you can spot on a fake battery is that compared to the oroginal the printing is not as sharp and good as on the original.
Sometimes they say Sunsang on them, lol
S/N Numbers are not the same. Square Bar Codes are not the Same.
i think they're both real just sourced from different manufactures.
nope. one is fake. smaller/thinner battery= less Mah. Yet label states the same capacity.
Lol that sfucking atupid. Its obviously a fake piece of shit.
So the question is, where can I get the REAL version battery for this product? Desperately need it. Amazon gives me 3 seperate sources none being the original quality. It's for a Samsung Avant from MetroPCs thank you
just look at the + - ... the original is moulded in the plastic casing ... the fake is not
why would the fake one be made in korea and the real one in china don't get it
Great educative vid. Thanks for posting :-D

Good video! Thank you!

Great video
damn, just found out I bought a fake samsung battery for my galaxy S II. After peeling the label, 1400mah was written as opposed to the standard 1650mah which is also written on the label.
Sound like codec from Metal Gear Solid game
Ur awesome...cheers for sharing
unfortunately the made in Japan and not made in china is not a sign but all the rest is ... samsung uses chinese manufacturers
at least it don't record every thing off your phone .. safer ,, size don't matter .. its not a liquid lead batter // meaning the bigger the stronger "lol"
You can buy also fake Samsung galaxy S5, S6 or S7 phone.
Good video, but if a "fake" battery works, why bother?
helpful vid, thatnks bro
my 1 says made in Malaysia assembled in Vietnam
you have altzheimer??? you mention that shiny tape a billion times
Thank you.
My fake battery from ebay got fat one day. Like it's going to explode soon.
This guy is probably dead now. At least, I would imagine he is.
Why make a video just to repeat yourself over and over
one says made in china the other says made in korea
