Finally we move on to the mini battery research which i've made.




Answer : Battery A = FAKE, Battery B = FAKE, Battery C= AP Battery

here's another Battery D = 900mAh, Made In Japan, BST-33


How about another one from Sony Ericsson's Website here?
900mAh, Made in Japan BST-33 - Same spec with my Battery D

next, we move on to one of our forummers post
From here we can see that even if you buy from the same distributor doesn't guarantee that you'll get the same battery design(though it's not BST-33 which we are discussing but we can use this as example).

also try going through this thread Sony Ericsson BST-37 Battery" and you'll know that nobody can really sure 100% and point out which battery is Original or AP or Fake by just comparing the design. After 25 pages of discussion, we still hold on to the "Looking at the Sticker Theory".

Conclusion :

After looking at so many batteries design, we can notice that, they are a wide varieties of batteries design available outside there. The one that we bought might look like any of the above ABCD and E(might be another design). Looking at the answers from my quiz, some forrumers said, how come Battery C looks the same with my Midland battery? How come it's like my AP battery? and so....

I gathered almost 10 piece of batteries(with the aid of my friend + 4 Batteries of mine) and YES, their design do varies depending on the batch when it was produced. Thus we are unable to judge whether it's genuine or not by just looking at the design itself. and still, the only way to verify whether they are Original Batteries or not, is via

1. sending back to the AP supplier to check with them (for AP sets)
2. bring to Authorized Service Centre to verify(for Midland, Thorus, T-Choice)

and after the verification at the respective distributors, the decision whether to trust the distributor's word or not lies on us.

Take for instance,

We suspect that our Credit Card is fake, and we send it to the respective bank and ask them to verify for us. They checked and told us it's not fake. and if we still don't trust them, i believe that it's considered "personal doubt" and the only way to clear that "personal doubt" is to "trust them" rather then making own assumption and end up with endless doubt.

P/S : One small problem which i encountered whenever i use Fake battery for my k800 is that, i can't fully charge the battery to 100%, it'll stays at 20% or sometimes lower than that. At first i thought it was that particular battery that has that problem, i've sent back to claim warranty and they replaced another battery for me. I tested and yet it's still the same, after i got it replaced by 3 times. I finally went to another supplier and get a fake battery to test it out. I got the same result too. Im not sure whether anybody who bought fake battery have encountered this issue or not.
