Acevan Li-ion Replacement Battery for Samsung Galaxy S3 (EB-L1G6LLU)

ScopresE: Original Samsuung LiON battery lasted 4 years for my father-in-law. He got a good amount of time out of this less expensive generic so we bought this for him again.

Purchased almost 4 months ago and he said it's going strong so we wanted to leave this POSITIVE review. We would not hesitate to purchase another.

David R. Voth: I replaced my S3 with an S9 years ago, and used an Acevan battery to keep it running so I can use its camera functions. I placed the order on 7/13/2018, By coincidence just today (7/13/2023) I noticed that the phone was distorted from the battery swelling up.

The phone was still working, but the face and back were distorted. I was afraid the glass was going to break, or worse.

To its credit this battery did not leak, explode, catch fire, etc. even though it was badly swollen. I carefully removed the afflicted battery and put it in a soup can on my concrete porch, with a flower pot over it in case it does decide to do something nasty before I figure out how to safely dispose of it.

Kudos to Samsung for making a phone that could survive such an insult.

At this price, getting five years of additional service for a seriously obsolete phone is a bargain.

The S3 is one of the last generations of Samsung phones with a battery that can be easily replaced by an ordinary user without special tools. The downside of that is that it isn't waterproof.

Jose: Dead on arrival. Cant really complain. Wasnt expecting it to work but hoping it would. Its an old battery for an old phone. Im out $14.

Update: Changed rating from 1 star to 5 stars. After my initial review, Acevan reached out me on multiple occasions. They were persistent! I ignored the first two messages from them before deciding to finally speak to them on their 3rd try. Was offered a refund or replacement battery.

Unfortunately, after opting for replacement and purchasing third party charger, I came to the realization that my phone was dead. I was able to charge both of Acevan's batteries with third party charger without issues.

I cant say enough about Acevan's outstanding customer support. They stood by their product and they were adamant about making things right from the get go. I will do business with them again.

Drew: I've had my phone for close to 8 years now I guess and I've bought a new battery about every 12 months on average when I notice the battery not holding a charge like it used to.

The battery came with 60% charge, and I probably should not have done it, but I charged it to 100% overnight anyway since I wanted to start the day with a full battery. So I started today at 100% and I am now at 56% after 14-15 hours with normal use. Any of my other older batteries would be down to about 20-30% by now.... I still swap out the older batteries when I run out of juice on the go. The 2300mah for this battery is higher than any of my other batteries that I bought and for this reason I was leary of what the performance might be and actually put off the purchase for a month or so because of the high advertised capacity. The capacity does seem real though because I don't remember ever having so much battery life left at the end of the day.

In terms of the other batteries that I am comparing this with: I had poor performance from the last RAVPower (2250mah) and Samsung OEM (2100mah) batteries that I bought. The last Samsung OEM failed within about three months with my phone resetting...

E. T. Suter: This battery has been a massive disappointment to me. When I first received it, the performance was quite satisfactory, but within a week it would no longer hold a charge for a decent length of time. My phone usage is very light, plus I have WiFi turned OFF and Location turned OFF.

I would expect any battery this new to hold a charge for much longer than I am experiencing. If I do not have the battery at over 90 % charge when I go to bed, the phone will be beeping at me when I wake up, showing less than 20 % charge.

UPDATE - 20 June 2018
I am revising my rating because the battery performance is now very satisfactory. For about 4-5 months the performance was quite poor, as described above. I kept using it only because I figured that anything I replaced it with would also do a poor job. However, a couple of months ago the battery started justifying the seller's claims. I have changed no settings on my phone and my usage has not changed, so I have no idea why there has been a night and day change in the performance. If it had done this from the beginning, I would have given it a five-star review instead of a one-star review. I am changing my review from one-star to...
