Is this the OEM product? Such a lot of bad reviews!

Good question. I bought this battery replacement because it was considerably cheaper. Unfortunately, I must report that you most often get what you pay for. This battery did NOT hold a charge for more than 1/2 of the day, and has been replaced with the $40 version. The $40 version gives me a day and a half - A great improvement! I should note that I'm a pretty heavy data user and I'm sure that affects battery life considerably. In short, this battery is ok as a spare in an emergency, but not so great as a primary for moderate to heavy usage.

It is not the original battery you get with your galaxy and it is hard to tell whether it is new but i have had it now for a while and still works fine. You can get the original at their website but its 40$. I recommend getting this because just 8$

Buy the battery sold by Amazon directly. I think there are 3 listings in total. You are likly to get a fake battery 99% of time buying from a 3rd party. I went through 2 of these batteries on eBay and one other one here on Amazon and all of them claimed to be authentic but none of them are.

Perhaps none of the responses is right or wrong. Amazon pools the same sku numbers unless a particular supplier creates their own special one. So, everyone's "mileage" may vary since the battery you get may come from one of all the suppliers of this item. It's pretty poor in my view, but I would think Amazon, with its excellent reputation would stand behind you as the one in the pic is the original one and the description says it's the OEM battery from Samsung. Therefore, if it isn't, you should be able to return it in my view. It would also be VERY helpful if the person leaving the comment could say which actual supplier Amazon was fulfilling the order with. That may give us a better caveat meter to use.

It's not the same battery that you get when you purchase the phone. I dont know if you blame copiers or samsung because i also got a battery from a mobile retailer that was not the same as the one i got with the phone. Poor batteries make people buy new phones. Sucks for consumers.

As far as I can tell, it is. I've had no issues so far. The technician who worked on my phone also thinks it's the real deal. By there being being an issue doesn't mean it's not OEM, as the one that originally came in the device had problems after a couple weeks!!

No, I can't. It was a really great part and high quality. I just don't know if it was OEM B&S.;

Yes it is OEM. I believe it is specific to my model. Is yours a pro 13 also?

All of the bulbs that claim they are OEM are not, unless you get them directly from Epson. Read the reviews and you'll see that only the Epson sourced bulbs have the brightness and longevity of the original. I have a friend that bought one of the other "OEM" bulbs and it was half as bright as it should be. I hate that it costs nearly $300 for something that will probably last 1000-1500 hours even though it's supposed to last 4000. Epson really needs to solve this discrepancy and/or lower the price.

It appears to be OEM. It works perfectly in my copier/scanner. I'm very happy with it.

It appeared to me it was the OEM part. It has worked well for a couple of yrs now. So, if it's not OEM, it's built well.

I'm like.. 90% certain it's not OEM. The keys are a bit weird and haven't lasted long (this is my second board). There are no indicators anywhere that it would be direct. It's either for the other 17r model, a different Vostro (I'm stretching here), or it's an after market product. It will do the job for now, but it's not perfect. If you want certifiable OEM your best bet is to find a junker.

Mine came in a generic box, don't think it was OEM, created problems with the printer so I bought the very expensive OEM one. Same goes with cartridges, I buy OEM only.

Yes it did and that is why I reseached to make the right choice on what I was buying. A lot of people out their claim their products are genuine. Not trfue I found this out several times. If you look at your OEM specs on what you already have and want to replace it or have another ,check out the make ,model amp hours etc. match them up and you'll get it!

As far as I could see, it is not OEM. The back of my N5's screen was not the same color as the replacement's. High quality, although mine went out a few short weeks after use. I'm disputing with the company now.

The description claims this is OEM (original eqiupment), but I have my doubts. I ordered a replacement for my original case in September 2012. Its already falling apart after only 3 months. The original case was looking old, but not falling apart.

I bought one last year - I don't recall if it was an OEM part, but the form, fit and function were right-on. It is a part that gets worn down. Mine was so bad, the metal lip had bent. I straightened it with pliers, and this scraper installed with no problem. HTH

Hi, you may be looking at an OEM version or a counterfeit version, which is very likely with an unusually low price like that.

Save your time. Go buy OEM. May cost a little more, but worth the difference in quality.

OEM and original are the same thing... You need to ask is this OEM/Genuine or Aftermarket

Yes it is. I had the same issue with this accessory... I skimped on an off brand and it stopped working quickly. This was the replacement and it works great. Not worth it to buy the unapproved accessories.
