Lol that just made my day. But what would a company benefit from 50 people switching battery's in a competitor company? Samsung looses max 1k. P.S. I agree with you. I just think company's are stupid sometimes investing 5-10k for a team to find out and 5k more to spread the news and Samsung looses 1k( it costs them about 1$ to manufacture a battery)

BD1D605 series

My S4 reboots and gets into a bootloop @70% power. Only connecting it to poweradapter solves this loop.

My battery is BD1D605 and is definitely swollen the last couple of days.

Called Samsung and they would replace the battery in 8 days. After telling them that it's my business phone, they expedited the call and the new battery will arrive in 2 days.

Excellent!

The phone was bought in the Netherlands at a Belcompany shop.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] HrBingR:
Nice

That's excellent service. I phoned my local Samsung store and they said they'd replace it, which they did. I'm now very happy. Was having the exact issues you are.

[9505]battery after 4 months[:(]
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Deadbeef:
Waiting for my replacement battery to arrive.

In 4 days since this problem started, the battery charge when the S4 goes into bootloop has changed from 60% initially to 90% today.

It's as good as useless to use the S4 without external power source.

It will go into bootloop within minutes of use.

Thankfully I have a portable power source. It will do for now.

I will post a picture of both batteries so you can see the difference in thickness when the replacement arrives.

I'm not sure what to do...my batter has S/N: BD1D515JS/2-B

Other markings on the battery only say B600BE and 2600 mAh. Is my battery one of the problematic ones?

I've been using my i9505 for 4 months now and no problems as far as I can tell.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Biker1:
From the op:

"You can check the Serial Number of your battery. If the S/N starts with BD1D and the date is in the range of 401 - 529 (1st april - 29th may), it's probably a defective battery.

Any battery with S/N between BD1D401XX and BD1D529XX needs replacement."

Since your battery starts with BDID515, it would need replacement.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kuljit55:
Does anyone know, if you continue using the phone with the swollen battery would it mess up the phone or cause any danger to phone? thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Biker1:
If your battery swelled up, expanded, etc.

REMOVE & DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY!

and Notify Seller.

*Oh, forget about if there's any Danger to the phone. It can possibly be a Danger to you :eek:

.

My wifes i9505 suddenly got random reboots.

Pulled the battery and it was swollen.

When it's flat on the table, I can definitely wiggle it.

My N-7100 battery is still flat after a year of intense use.

Serial no: BD1D522HS/2-B, started a chat-session on samsung.nl

Without any cost they send me a new one.

Takes up to 10 working days (That's F#$%^in 2 weeks!! :eek::eek:)

Bought in NL on the 2nd of sept. 2013...

Thanks for the thread :good::good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MattBooth:
My batteries serial number is BD1D605, but it's most definitely defective. Occasionally my phone will randomly reboot and show 0% when it reboots. Another reboot shows the correct battery level. It's also thrown itself into a bootloop before also, on the same kind of error.

There isn't any noticeable swelling, but my SGS3's battery, laid flat on the table, is immovable if you touch the edges. My S4 battery rocks slightly if you do the same.

I'm going to buy a replacement.

Imho the OP should include at LEAST 605 in his OP.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] itadic:
mine too

same thing here, mine was also bought in Netherlands , battery NO is BD 604 and causes me the same problems. Cause I`m in Serbia now I cant get new replaced., so I`ll have to buy my self a new one on my own

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

OK so the problem with the battery is known, and no doubt mine is fu..ed too. It`s BD 604. Could longer use of such battery cause any other defect with the telephone. Just to remind that my phone falls into bootloop no further than the splashscreen until I plug it on a charger or rest it up a bit. Phone works fine until I press it hard wit asphalt 8, any other HD game or try to make an HD video. Sometimes I can`t even play video from the gallery. Stock ROM on it nonrooted,

Faulty

Unfortunately I'm only reading this after my phone started boot-looping today.

Guess what, my battery fits the faulty batch: BD1D520...

Gutted. I didn't thought I was a light/medium phone user, but I've already missed my phone about a dozen times in just a few hours!!

Those who have contacted Samsung, how did you do it? Via the phone or an email??

I can't believe how difficult it is to pick up a genuine Samsung replacement. I popped into town (Swansea) after work, went to 4 shops CPW, Phone4U, 3, Vodafone and no-one had a replacement. What's the point of a replaceable battery if you can't get one when you need it!

Ps. I was warned by CPW that I'd have to go to the Samsung Repair Centre (nearest >100 miles away in Bristol) to get the battery swapped OR send my battery AND PHONE off for up to 28 days to get it fixed.

Gutted and phoneless...

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] b0gd4n:
Just want to share my experience with Samsung UK on this matter:

Dear Bogdan,

Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Support.

I tried contacting you this afternoon, but was unfortunately unable to get through to you.

There is a known fault with some of the S4 batteries. As a company we are committed to providing the best service for our customer and in this instance we would like to get your phone in for inspection, to double check everything else on the device is functioning correctly, either to a local service centre or send it into our main service centre, rather than sending out a new battery.

I do understand this can be an inconvenience but as a company we feel this is the way forward with this situation to ensure our customers do not experience any other issues with their phone in the future.

From your postcode I searched for a local service centre. The closest to you is :

CRC (london) Ltd

Docklands Business Centre, 10-16 Tiller Road, E148PX

Phone Number: 0207 345 5323 2 miles

OR

Samuel King Intelligent IT Solutions Ltd

The Business Design Centre, Suite 126. 52 Upper Street. , Angel. London., N10QH

Phone Number: 0207 354 8094 5 miles

If you take your device and proof of purchase they will be able to inspect your device and if the device is found to have the faulty battery in it they will replace that for you.

As this is over 15 miles away I do understand it is not always possible to make your way to the service centre. In this case we would ask for your device to be sent in to our main service centre. To do this the quickest way possible for yourself, if you can call us on 03307267864

With all your details including

Device model code

Serial Number (found once the battery is out under the barcode on the device)

IMEI number (above the barcode on the back)

Date of purchase

Network provider

This will be the quickest way for use to process our request and get a jiffy bag out to you so we can get your device in to replace your battery.

If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

Our Customer Support Team love feedback! Share your thoughts on this response by completing the survey at the bottom of this page.

It seems it's not as simple as just telling them about it and they send one to you...

My battery is not swollen at all, I just checked the SN and it was one of the ones that are affected. I can't really stay without my phone.. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jumoog:
I got my Battery today :highfive:

No shop visit with my phone, battery and bill :good:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AxelRage92:
It seems I am the first here who has a swollen battery with a serial number different to BD1D, Mine starts with YS1D but the date of production is in the defective range (02.04.13). The battery is used just for 2,5 months but it can already go to zero having a 65% charge. My phone is not covered by warranty so I should get a new battery at my own expense.

Yes, it could. In the case of S4 it could literally squeeze the LCD from the phone (yes, it's not a joke), So the display will need replacement and in the worst case the phone may be broken with no chance to repair it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
batteries only 6 month warranty?

My battery also had this problem. My phone was bought more than 6 months ago and Samsung official repair shop says batteries only have warranty until 6 months, is this true?!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sblindheim:
In Norway, batteries sold with phone has the same warranty as the phone. Batteries sold "standalone" has 6 months. BUT we have something called the "consumer law" which gives us two to five years rights to complain about factory error, which this battery ting certainly is..

-sblindheim
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Johkneebouy:
My phone has been suffering loss of reception and boot loops at around 60% for 3 days, For the life of me i couldn't figure it out.

Hadn't changed ROM's or installed any other apps..

But upon pulling the battery today i noticed it was a bit warmer than usual, Then looking at it sideways i could see a slight bulge.

I knew of the bulging battery issue and done a bit of googling (maybe not a word but.. meh) ..

Am home now and have checked this battery against one in my girlfriends S4, This battery matches S/N criteria, and hers is completely different.. hopefully safe.

I noticed bad battery was 'made in China' and good one was 'made in Korea' .. and font on the good one was a lot sharper.. Dodgy Chinese fake!!?

Thing is, I had the 'bad' battery in HER phone since new (from release last year) and it has been fine since now, Its only in my phone now because a couple weeks ago hers was flat and she needed phone for work and we swapped.. That will teach me.

Going to local Samsung repair center tomorrow to get it sorted hopefully..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DuLLaG33:
why?

why didn't I see this thread before :(

My original battery which came with the phone (GT-I9500) was defective, and swelled 3 months after usage. talked to samsung and they

said that they won't help me unless I have a warranty (which I dont have, cuz I got the phone from a different country). so

I bought a new one and again, 3 months and it got inflated. Again I bought another one last month and still running, but one

thing for sure, I'm not getting any samsung device again.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] leijonasisu:
My battery: BD1D414JS/2-B

Doesn't fall into the range but yes after 3 months it swelled a lot and I never realised it was faulty. Got 2 unofficial batteries afterwards that were supposed to be even bigger and better. One of them died on me finally after 9 months a week ago. The other swelled but it was working okay. Threw them both, bought 2 stock original ones with AA and LC starting serial numbers. Both seem to work fine.

Took the BD one to a Samsung store and demanded they swap it. They did without a hassle.

My advice, go harass your nearest Samsung store, or the store you got your phone & thus battery from and demand a replacement.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] NI3K:
wasnt aware of this issue but does explain a lot of the issues I was having. phone would reboot every few seconds, battery seemed to have swollen up so replaced with a cheap chinese one temporarily and sorted the problem. ordered 2 genuine samsung batteries and one of those became swollen also, but for the cost of them im quicker just chucking it in the bin!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AB__CD:
Mine is AA1D418HS and it does have a slight battery swell, but battery performance is rather poor. Its not completely flat and bulges out a bit, definitely not too noticeable but does impact battery a bit. So yes, AA serial is impacted too.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nexy7:
My S/N is YS1D415ES/2-B and it's started to swell a bit. Haven't noticed any problems with performance but I don't want it to cause any damage to the phone. I was going to go to the Samsung store nearby and try and get them to replace it but they said they'll only replace it free if it's one of the affected ones. Is it not worth the trip if mine's a YS1? They said it'll be around £30 for a new one if it's not covered. Was looking at buying an Anker one from Amazon - are they recommended?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ImNotTheDroidUrLooking4:
Anker batterys are very good, been using mine for 6 months now.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] HyperEscape:
Can someone please tell me whether my following batteries fall in the range of defective

1. YS1D516XS/2-B (Cell in Japan , Made in China)

2. AA1D423PS/2-B (Cell in Korea, Made in Vietnam)

Also can you please tell me which one is newer serial number, just asking so I can maybe keep on using the much newer one which is assumed to last longer.

Please inform is there are really useful and accurate APP to check the battery health or any secret code for Galaxy S4 to check battery info.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Trogladyte:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] need4steer:
Samsung Galaxy S4 defective batteries serial starts with BD1D or LC1D

I believe that the defective batteries serials can also start with LC1D.

Here is a picture:

View attachment 2886535

I'm not sure if it's relevant only to my country, Israel, since the serial of battery that starts with LC1D comes from Orange - which is an Israeli ISP (Orange is the brand name for Partner Communications Company Ltd.).

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Rylo:
I just want to report that my battery with serial: AA1D429TS/2-B is also defective (bulging on both sides in the middle) and is getting replaced by samsung.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MrAndroid12:
The AA1Ds are also semi defective in a way that the battery cannot sustain significant enough power and thus automatically cut off when the battery reaches sub zero temperatures.

It doesn't bulge out however.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] TheJuli:
Hey, bought my phone in eBay and the battery has started to swell too. Ordered a new battery :( Funny thing is - the SN of this battery starts with AA1G508yS/2-B and made in 08 May 2015 so pretty new. I don't think its a fake one (because if it is, they have made the most detailed and beautiful job in the world to copy it as the original) so yeah, just to pop this in. I have to be the unluckiest guy it seems.

UPDATE:

Heads up - battery was fake. Took away the cover and voila - Bad metal quality, full of dents, glue stickyness and scratches and ... a pretty weird NFC which sealed in black plastic material

samsung really drain my batteries, have to carry 3 original batteries for daily use.. dang
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mikeprius:
I bought 3 original batteries at varying times. All of them eventually permanently swelled and one was clearly defective b/c it could not hold a charge as long as the others. Contacted Samsung and they refused to replace but thoughtfully offered to sell me another one. First and last time I will ever purchase a Samsung.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Where did you buy the batteries? Are they original samsung or original copies?:laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mikeprius:
From Samsung themselves. So they are original.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Why dont they honor warranty then? Have you had ir long before the problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mikeprius:
The batteries got hot and swelled after about 3 months. I contacted them both times and offered the serial numbers, but they stated that it was not covered. My phone is over 1 year old so they claimed that the phone was out of warranty. Makes sense if I needed my actual phone replaced, but it was just the battery. I even said I had more than one battery and they are defective.

Nonetheless, they still refused just to issue a replacement and this was something that seemed to be a known issue.

I still have the Galaxy S4 and it works with the busted battery provided the charging cable is connected. Other than that the phone didn't have any other issues and I rooted it and everything worked fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
My daily driver is a Note 4 N910C. Last week the battery swelled. It's only 5 months old but I never contacted samsung as I know I will just get a headache. This phone was bought from amazon so no warranty too. I just ordered an oem battery charger that comes with a battery so I know it is authentic. J hope this one doesn't swell.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mikeprius:
Yeah, let me know what happens. Both mine have a noticeable bulge, the back cover still snapped on, but when you ran your finger across it you could actually feel the battery pressing hard against the cover. Here's a 2013 article already identifying Samsung batteries swelling with earlier Notes so why it is still happening on the Note 4 is beyond me.

It's on the internet: http://thedroidguy.com/2013/11/samsung-galaxy-note-swelling-battery-issue-free-replacement-yet-78482

Obviously they still haven't fixed the issue.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pete101:
My samsung s4 battery has swollen a bit too but i dont know when it did this. It starts with serial AA. It is been used for nearly 2 years though so is this normal?

Im starting to think the issue is the phone overheating causing the battery to swell. Yes the BD serial number batteries swelled more quickly than the other ones so really the fault lies in itself with the phone. Thr s4 has always heated up way too quick so if transferred to any battery will heat up also.

Samsungs replacement battery fix is a cop out. The phones themselves are faulty, overheating.

Im unsure whether i can get this battery replaced as it doesn't match the serial number and is 4 years old by manufacturing date. Do all s4 batteries eventually swell?

if you use a use a charger of 2 .0 amp or above of it, your battery will remain useful for you.
