Latest Comparisons

Updates made on page 1.

Conclusion after much discussion

1) The top part as circled in red, is different.
2) The material of the wrapping around the battery is metal/aluminum like whereas AP original is dull silver color.
3) The water test sticker for Original Midland is squarer whilst the Original AP one is more rectangular.
4) The bottom of the battery looks different. The original Midland has 2 dots on each end while the original AP doesn't.


Please feel free to add the conclusions/comparisons.

Dreamthief, hope you wont mind that I used your picture.

Bro, right now we all can't tell whether it's fake or not. We can only compare and original Midland and "original" AP only.

Then i'm lucky. Mine is an AP set from gtoracer1 in garage sales. I have a battery like the midland one. Luckily i didn't buy it from shops. He claimed that he gave me everything original.
*
That's good. That looks like gtoracer has got a good supplier. Who's the AP distributor?

haha, calvin, why do u state Original AP set on 1st page? it should be fake or counterfeit ap set Battery....as mine is Original Battery in a AP set phone, and IMO original means manufactured by SE itself, while fake or counterfeit means manufactured by other ppl not license by SE laugh.gif
*
Well how sure those are fake? What proof have I/you got? Just because it doesn't look like original midland, it doesn't mean that it's fake. sweat.gif doh.gif

Well, I am saying this because I don't want any dealer to blast me. thumbup.gif

my phone is ori midlands

another test i want to ask the user of ORI AP type batt user here.

How long does the battery against the usage?

mine need charging after ~2.5 days
after using as fm receiver for 9 hours perday
*
Thanks for your input bro, do you mind if I use your photos for the 1st page.

Well, AP battery is still new I guess, average use allows my phone to last up to 3 days. Didn't really wait untill my phone died/critical battery low level.

QUOTE(imperialrealcs @ May 16 2006, 12:58 PM)
i didnt read through the thread soo u juz wana say somethin here..
my supplier told me if the battery having white wrapping instead of something like aluminium foil then it is fake for sure.. most user who get a white colour battery is prolly a AP set user and not posibble for ori user if the shop intend to cheat his/her customer.. try imagine u earn from the phone n sell the ori battery for rm150.. earn till laugh laugh.gif

Looks like some of us has been falsely promised by shops. sweat.gif

My dealer promised me only an "AP Original" battery and not an Original original battery. And they gave me what they promised. So, I can't make much noise about it. sweat.gif

Not kena con. But your dealer played with their words. Like mine, my seller keeps on saying theirs is AP Original, so can't escape.

just another fact i wanna add, is that all manufactured parts are subjected to change anytime, like external casings, and so on.
this not only applies to accesories but also the phones itself, and the manufacturers need not to announce any changes.

k750's first batch proved to be quite problematic in the camera department,
lens misallignment and so on. After the first few batches, everything has improved smile.gif

so actually, comparing the batteries via external casings is not actually all that valid.
But then again, if its similar u get a piece of mind...  so.... smile.gif

anyway.... the only difference on my battery is on the bottom it doesnt have that 2 dots on each side, others perfectly match.

Mine's a midland set btw.

It's quite true about what you said. However, pirated things in market is on a rising level. From cd/dvds to now memory sticks and battery.

lol, no such thing as AP original for the white wrapping as it is meant to be a lie for them (the shopkeeper) to take the ori battery..
like what i said,
imagine he take out ori batt n put inside rm40-60 battery n sell the battery for rm150 doh.gif
*
Definately. It's just a nice way for the dealer to say :-p

Actually they should just call it 3rd party battery. That wont sound so bad right?
