Careful: Gold 2850mAh Battery // fraud

Some reports suggested it's great, others say it's bonkers. Got one for free so tested it a while. Not just is it as bad/good as stock but it simply doesn't have the capacity claimed.

Talking about this one

I had this tested by a friend of mine using some industrial battery tester, and a lot of apps show the same result

So if you want to buy this for the capacity, stay clear. If you want to buy a cheap battery, by all means.
 
I don't trust most of the batteries that claim to be extended with no extra battery back needed. How long did you use it for? Some batteries take a little time to reach their full strength. How many hours did you get from it?
 
I have been testing it for a few weeks before judging it. Not sure about hours to be honest as I charge at work and home, which is why I have them tested the techy way. And they are 2100 mAh, which is all that matters to think they are fake.
 
Or

You could get a reputable extended battery :)

I don't believe there are any true extended batteries that doesn't require a different back, that doesn't boost it by no more than 100-150mh. <<<waste of money anyway.
