eBay BH6X Extended Battery Issue

[dAi]

I just bought a BH6X extended battery off ebay and I noticed that it drains every hour 10%, is this normal? I think my battery is not genuine made by Motorola. How can I tell if I got a fake one or not?

If it was bought/shipped from outside the USA, its probably fake.

Wow, that is a tough call. Motorola's stuff is shipped in and manufactured outside the USA. 10% an hour? That is 10 hours, how are you using the phone? Heavy, moderate, light? Is that the only reason you are concerned?

 

[Droid-Xer]

Yes their OEM stuff is from overseas but unless its an official Motorola reseller than I would be leery about buying an "OEM" product from a private seller outside the states.

For the most part, I agree. That doesn't mean OEM stuff can be found outside said sources, but to be sure, it is best to get goods from a legit source.

Nearly all of those on eBay are FAKES. They look very similar, but use cheap Chinese cells that won't last more than a few months.

Charge it to 100%, then before you goto bed, put it on airplane mode and turn the screen off. 8 hours later or so, see what it's at. Should be 90% or better if it's real. I get 50-70hrs of light use on my REAL extended Moto battery. 5-10 minutes per day talk, 50 texts, less than an hour per day browsing, no gaming.

Ya there should be a hologram on the other side of the battery.

That's probably why he doesn't have pics of the other side cause I asked. Its a good thing I retracted my bid. Im just going to order mine from vzw. Iv had bad experances in the past with non oem batterys.

 

[Droid-Xer]

Ya if he's selling in bulk the chances of him being an authorized reseller are slim. Probably bought in bulk from overseas or they might be shipped from overseas but sold here.

I think this seller is ok. Not to say he may sell a fake item. Again, buy from Moto and be protected.
