Anyone find a high capacity battery they could recommend? Did you need a new back cover? If so where did you get it or did you just go without a back cover?

I was hoping to get a recommendation on one of the 2000mah batteries, but if I could win it cheaply, it'd be worth checking out. Maybe I'll buy one of those wall chargers too. I could easily carry the extra battery in my wallet.
Thanks!
I never saw a 2000mah battery. I want to let you know, don't expect what you see in the picture. Those 1500mah ones are probably unbranded. It doesn't make a difference, as long as they work, I guess.

Just won the auction and got them for 9.50 plus 4.99 shipping. The ones pictured appear unbranded as well. They don't say HTC. And if they aren't actually yellow, it doesn't matter. Until someone makes a clear back plate, no one will see.
Thanks again!!

I'm a lil weary of those cheap non branded extended life batteries. If you go on amazon and read some of those reviews the users complain about this batteries not working after a certain amount of recharge cycles. The best off brand to trust has been seidio. Other than that just go oem. With a price that low it sounds like you could end up spending another $9.50 in a couple more months. Now, I love my ebay but that sounds too suspect.

Well I'll report back how they work...

This is the seller's exact response when I asked him about returns.
'you can return it anytime if you done think the battery is what you exoected
but you will need to pay to ship it back
thank you'
I'm weary of buying them too, but he did say I can return 'anytime' and I plan on holding him to that word. If I get them, I'll test them with a voltmeter each week and ship them right back. Even if it's 6 months later haha.
Well I got them already... They seem to last longer than the stock battery. Who knows if it will last, but they are good now.
Glad I made the purchase.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
How much longer we talking about? Just a couple hours?
Yeah... Just a couple hours. I'm not saying it is significantly better than OEM. I'm just saying it will work great as a backup. I also got a wall charger so one battery will be kept in my wallet as a backup and I will charge them both each night.

The reviews I've seen on these cheap batteries always seem to indicate that they aren't actually what they say they are rated, and testing shows that they don't last as long as the OEM batteries.
After a few days of use, I do not see much difference between stock 1200 and this 1700. Only payed 9.99 with free shipping, so not bad for a spare battery.

Don't believe the hype. It's pretty hard to make a battery with a higher capacity that is cheaper and is the same physical size. These batteries are compressed into these small packages and to increase the capacity without using more cells or larger cells, would constitute using more exotic materials, which would cost more. At best, these batteries are equal to OEM, but most are lower grade knock offs. The best application for any of these batteries is backup use
I bought 2 1500's for $20 off of Ebay.and yes i do see about about 2-3 difference with them.. no its not much of a difference but they do actually work.. so the hype is real..
i've always been wary of buying batteries, particularly laptop batteries, online.
ie safety/actual capacity/quality
is there a similar issue for phone batteries?
There is a company called Anker that makes high quality - high capacity aftermarket batteries for phones, however, I don't think they have one for ours yet.
I'm a little gun shy to buy aftermarket batteries again...
My experience with Anker Batteries:
I had one for my MT4GS and although it did last much longer, I kid you not it does something really weird to the phone. Call me crazy, but I had random people confirm this with their very own eyes. If you've experienced this too, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
1. Like I said, I kid you not, when I put in the higher capacity battery, it made the screens color look more washed out and blurry. Crazy, crazy I know, but it's darn true. Has anyone else experienced this?
2. For whatever reason, the phone would freeze often as well, whereas before with the OEM battery, everything was fine. I had to pull the battery almost 2 times a day to restart it from a freeze.
Interesting....
I was looking for an extended battery for this phone as well but when I searched for the Anker brand as I have it for another device, they all said not compatible with the AT&T or T-Mobile version.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...msung+galaxy+s2&x=0&y=0&sprefix=anker+samsung
The batteries for the international version are a different size than ours so no, they won't work.
also the other batteries might not come with the NFC
if you don't mind losing the NFC feature on the phone, then you can use the 2000 mAh original batteries from samsung

personally i prefer this over having it at the back cover like on the Nexus S
this means i can chance the phone skin any time i want without worrying about losing NFC
i saw many nice back covers for the Nexus S but couldn't change it as they do not include the NFC antennae on the aftermarket back covers for the Nexus S

No way! you 100% sure about this? I was planning to buy an extra battery but now I'm hesitate to buy. How do I know which battery has NFC and which battery don't? I thought on the galaxy S2 they integrated onto the phone.
just wait for a new version of the 2000 mAh with NFC
the last one i saw on the samsung website did not have NFC build in

Would the 150 mAH additional warrant the large price? (probably $50+)
Tmobile Galaxy S2 has the same battery as what...?
I'm looking to get a spare battery and external charger for my S2. Looking for anker or chichitec, what other device has the same compatibility as ours. Which ones will fit?
You may have a hard time finding cheap batteries for this phone because the NFC antenna is built into the battery. If you do find one, there's a chance your NFC will suffer because of it. If you don't use NFC, that may not be a problem. I on the other hand, use it daily.
The Samsung Infuse has the same battery.

There are some cheap ones over at thE BAY around $10 for 2 battery plus wall charger OEM are around $30.
does the cheap one from ebay include NFC ?
Extra set of quality batteries?
Has anybody here bought a quality battery from ebay? there are batteries ranging from 10 dollars to 40 dollars and I'm just wondering if any of them are good? i don't want such an expensive extra battery but i also don't want a cheap battery that will mess up my phone.. speaking of which, can a bad battery mess up a phone's internal system? Thanks for the responses.
if possible, provide a link to the ebay listing or just tell me what i should specifically search for.
i'll suggest buying the real Samsung batteries if you can afford $40

thanks allgamer for the response. the thing is i can't afford the $40. should i just wait till a quality replacement battery comes to market? i used to have an htc pro and i bought cheap batteries on ebay for it that came in handy and worked well but my phone eventually died out (screen does not turn on all the time but it might be a wiring problem and not a battery problem). i was hoping there was a similar economically viable option for the galaxy s 2.
it might take a bit
because these news batteries comes with the NFC
so the cheap ones in ebay or where ever they don't usually include the NFC
I doubt it. And the Infuse has a lower mAh

i don't really need NFC with the extra set of batteries. NFC's potential hasn't been fully realized yet and i don't have much use of it as of now.
one question though.. if i buy those cheap batteries on ebay, will it destroy my phone because of incompatibility issues?
I just bought these batteries. Im not into extended batteries cause of the added bulk. Its great deal for stock batteries! Not sure if these are authentic Samsung batteries but if hey end up to be generic, they were cheap anyways.

It ships from hong kong so more than likely they might be fake and it will take 2 weeks for shipping lol
You say that like I didn't know lol.
I've bought batteries off eBay that shipped from Hong Kong for my other phone in the past that turned out to be real. At least they worked and lasted just the same as a real one. To this day those batteries still work perfectly fine. They even looked exactly the same so well just have to see

thanks for this! they look good to me and for 12.99 you cant really go wrong. i have some batteries around from my og epic still and I rarely if ever have to use them because my battery life is great now. nut, this does look like a good buyt to me. im tempted to get it just for the charger. i lost mine and cant find it. i have a 4 and a 2 year old boy so theres no telling where it ended up. probably at the dump now...
anyways, good eye for the batteries and charger!

For anyone that may be interested in batteries that are exclusively Samsung OEM: don't purchase these. They are generic. This posting is rather misleading.
Just a few points of thought: Nowhere in the listing does it say they are stock OEM Samsung batteries. The picture is there to throw you off, which has apparently done its job. lol The price and logic don't warrant it being OEM. For the same price as 3 generic batteries, you can get 3 OEM Samsung batteries? Course not, just think about it. Also, it would be illogical of the seller to sell an OEM product so low. The Chinese are known for a lot of things, stupidity is not one of them. lol Lastly, if the batteries end up looking like the picture, does that mean they're OEM? No, because of the above reasons, which are logic and price. The Chinese already produce a legitimate version and/or knockoff version of almost everything one can think of...do you think they aren't capable of copying and creating the same simple logo and sticker onto the generic batteries as there are on the OEM batteries? Of course they can. With ease.
That being said, the generic batteries aren't exactly garbage. They're just fine and have the potential of working just as good as OEM batteries. Though there are some lemons here and there that don't work up to par, and some that don't work at all. I just wouldn't expect to get a Samsung OEM product.
Coincidentally, I myself bought another set of 3 generic 1800mAh batteries + 1 battery wall charger from eBay today for $9.99 + free shipping and should have them in less than a week thanks to buying from a U.S. seller.
AMERICA.
P.S. Sorry, but I gotta vent (and inform) about this...there's a seller from China on eBay with a poor feedback rating selling the highly popular Samsung 32GB MicroSD Class 10 cards for roughly $15 each (they normally sell for between $50 to $75 and still have counterfeits among them), and some moe-rons snatched up about 400 of them in about 3 days time. Really, people? With the ridiculous, rampant amount of fake microSD cards on the internet market, you're actually going to believe a Chinese seller with a poor feedback rating selling "OEM" Samsung newest generation microSD cards for $15?? Common sense isn't so common. Bottomline: you get what you pay for. OK I'm done venting.
i ended up picking up a set of 3 1800 mah batteries and a charger for 13 bucks. tethering 4g really does a number on my battery (guess its the wifi + wimax being on at the same time) and it would be nice to swap these out when needed.
One thing im concerned about, do these batteries heat up with constant use? ive felt the stock battery go up to 42 degrees and i think any warmer than this may end up damaging my phone.
I would bet my middle testicle that those things are as fake as a chola's eyebrows.

dont really care about them being fake, just dont want these Chinese?? cells overheating and damaging my phone.
for thirteen bucks shipped i didnt really expect oem batteries, just something to use/drain/swap while tethering
I bought these.. 3 and external charger. I don't regret it one bit. I could careless about battery drain now. I can now use my phone and enjoy full usage without having to worry. I highly recommend it. Although it will take a month to come in. If you are even slightly considering it, I say go for it.
thanks for your reply, ever have issues with the ebay batteries overheating/warming up?

You lie. YOU LIEEE!
Links or it didn't happen.
I'm gonna order some from HK because I can't find any in the US.
I switch between the 4 all the time (1 OEM and 3 generic). The three generics are numbered so I can keep track of them. I've had them since mid November, and I haven't noticed any difference in battery life relative to the stock battery.
I haven't had an overheating issues with any of the batteries either.
i have generic batteries as well and at first thought they were the same capacity as the OEM stock battery but that's only from 100 down to 40%. with the generic batteries, once i get to 40% if i reboot the phone it'll drop down DRASTICALLY to ~10%.
well, the seller in the ebay link, has almost 11000 sales, and a 99.4% positive reviews, so I would think its safe to buy from him..I am sure they are not "real" samsung batteries but, hell, for 13 bucks for 3 batteries and a charger, who cares!
China makes the best lipo batteries on earth. They also probably make the worst. It's a tossup. Luckily there is a good way to tell sometimes. The Chinese are more capitalist than we are now, so if a company in China makes good batteries they will put their name on them. If they make good product and only sell good product, they will gain notoriety and get to increase their prices to cash in on it.
So on these no-name batteries, either take the chance or buy Korean from a trusted retailer. Wot wah!
Had nothing but bad experiences buying batteries from Ebay, then again last time I did it was for my oldschool Motorola RAZR.
Just wanted to report back on the ebay batteries. So far so good, though they are definitely not as good as my stock battery. Good for swapping out when tethering etc. They do heat up with use, the max i saw while tethering is 47c. At these temps its unlikely they will last long, but for ~4 bucks each i guess they are replaceable.
The bundled charger puts out 5.2v at 800mah though it does have an annoying blue led that's always on while plugged in(black duct tape took care of this for me). Would have been nice if they bundled a usb cable, the one i had laying around works just fine.
Overall I had a great experience with the ebay seller who shipped China post->USPS, took about 10 business days.
Well I ordered some off ebay on the 12th of Feb. China post tracking says it just passed through a sort facility. Well, now I remember why I stopped using ebay 10 years ago. I miss when it was just stuff that fell off the back of a truck and people selling their used stuff. Now it's just chinese people dropshipping stuff that takes them two weeks to locate before they actually ship it. *fart*
Review after 30 days of rotated use:
These batteries are cheap. Very cheap, at best I would estimate 1500mAh, and they only go downhill from there. Now I'm lucky to last 7 hours with streaming radio. I would estimate I'm down to 1-1200mAh after less than 10 charge cycles.
I also broke the tabs on the charger inserting a battery too forcibly, but easily fixed with ABS cement.
However, I only bought them for streaming, tethering and to keep cycle count on OEM battery down, but it may not be worth it to you given the terrible life cycle.

Actually, I've bought 4 cheap batteries already. 2.50 each one! In my honest opinion, they are so worth it. I have one battery now dedicated to draining(for all my daily uses), then I have all my other batteries for back ups. I've honestly never even used NFC since I've got this phone so I really don't see the point in buying an original Samsung battery for like 40 dollars+. Cheap batteries are the way to go my friend :good:
Just try playing games or anything power intensive and just feel the heat the S3's putting off.
Now the S3 battery cells are designed to handle high drain but these cheapo $2 things aren't rated for anything close to the power the S3 sucks in so they gonna give off a butt load of heat and start to expand with cells dying and the battery might go pop and destroy the phone.
So if you wanna risk a £500 phone to save a few Dollars over a decent battery then it's no good crying to us when Samsung decides you invalidated your warranty.

Uhmm. Even with the official battery you have that heating up problem. It's already a known existing problem the S3 has. Don't blame the batteries.

I would agree with this, all it takes is one battery not designed to take the heat from an intensive game and it can go pop the original Samsung battery can handle the heat which is why it's safe and getting some slightly cheaper will be safe, super cheap ones may not be though.

I would strongly reccomend against buying any cheap batteries off eBay. I recentley purchased a spare battery for my Samsung Nexus S and the new battery seems to have totally fried my phone. I would hate for anyone to go through the amount of stress I am just over a simple thing like a battery.
Think about it... you are putting a very cheaply made piece of hardware in a very expensive piece of hardware... which do you value more?

Exactly.
You stick an El-Cheapo battery in a little MP3 player and it's fine because it draws so little power you not even slightly stressing the battery, but the S3 is a serious and expensive piece of hardware that gobbles up the power and pushes these cheap batteries beyond their limits so obviously it's gonna go wrong for some people.
I mean people are saying because they had no problems with old phones then they'll have no problems but the S3 is sucking up close to 1/3 more power than the S2 yet still using the same crappy cells, so if anyone has the slightest sense they'll spend a few Dollars more to protect their phone.
You should always go OEM. If not you could try the more reputable extended batteries. I prefer Seidio. Cheap cells are never true to capacity. In most cases the OEM capacity is higher than the "rated" capacity of cheap cells.
Thank you all for your opinions!
After reading all you replies I decided to NOT use the cheap battery I got, I rather pay some extra bucks for a battery and be sure it wont brake my 600€ phone. I´m probably going to get a original samsung battery to have as a spare.

As our phones age, our batteries begin to degrade. This is why I only use phones with removable batteries.
Question: Does anyone know what brand or where to buy a "real" battery? Most I find are cheap and don't last long, or keep a charge like the original did. I'm willing to pay more, but I don't want to pay more for the same cheap knock off.
Oh and I don't want an extended... I like the slimness. I just want a decent battery. Anyone else have good luck with any particular band?
