Hello,
i was looking for a extended battery, but since almost all of them are bigger than others im going to just buy an extra from ebay,
But..Are theses batteries as good and reliable as original one or the ones that phone store sell? Have you guys experienced any battery that sell for that low cost? (20 us for 2 1.500mha batteries)
the item number its 220679157358 on EBAY
can someone post the link plz ? im new = /
for $20 you can get a brand new original samsung battery on ebay
or for $8ish get 2 chinese batteries. The chinese batts will last a couple months and generally be around 1000-1200mah vs 1500 for the original samsung
I personally got one genuine battery and for $10 got 2 cheap batteries and a standalone charger
EBay has some 1890mah. Batts. God only knows what they really are. I bought the stand alone charger and 2 1500 non OEMs for $9.98 shipped
So that'll get me through a flight/airport and then some.
Is your phone Loki? Use Odin. You'll be Thor!
i got the charger + 2 chinese batts for $10 too... they work fine. maybe not quite as good as the OEM but not a noticeable difference. they make it though the day on a single charge and i've had them about two months now.
Anyone know if this battery would fit in the vibrant?
It is on obostore dot com website and it's an 1800 mah battery for the galaxy S I9000.
They don't mention any other Galaxy S, but it seems that the original battery is the same for the vibrant and the I9000. This one is not bulky.
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.

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?
hey guys,
I just read an article about the Verizon extended battery + cover for the Nexus (it's OEM - i dont think i'd ever buy a 3rd party battery)
http://www.androidcentral.com/close-look-verizon-galaxy-nexus-extended-battery
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...s-extended-battery-2100mah-battery-cover.html
The 2100mAH seems like a good upgrade from our 1750mAH battery, but im more curious if this would fit in the GSM version? But then again, we would also need a cover as well, because i know the LTE dimensions are slightly different...
or has anyone heard of OEM extended battery coming to the GSM version?
If its a small sacrifice in thickness i'd probably jump on it
as long as it isn't a hunchback cover i will most likely get it. i'm all about extending battery life but those covers make the device very uncomfortable.
if its anything like the OEM extended battery for the Galaxy S2 , it should be very minimal difference in the back cover
You know the tiny "hump' at the bottom of your phone on the back?
I think the extended battery basically makes that uniform with the cover+battery, so there's no longer a hump but just a straight back
it might even feel better to grip
I will definitely be buying this. I was interested in the 2000mah one from Korea but this is even better. Hurry up and get announced for UK/EU!
Be aware that the i515 battery (VZW) is _wider_ than the i9250 (GSM) battery. In other words, you cannot interchange batteries between the Verizon LTE phone and GSM phones. It will not fit.
So that Verizon extended battery is only for the i515.

Thank you for the information; saves us a lot of hassle and speculation.
May I ask however, what is this based on?
Are there any pictures or other way to quell doubts?

I stopped by the Verizon corporate store and was going to buy another battery, but it doesn't fit (not even close) I can confirm that it's a good bit shorter and wider than the gsm battery.
Posted images for you in a separate thread:

Now we need the Korean version, 2000 mAH Galaxy Nexus battery.
I hope that would be compatible with gsm version and available to purchase.
Keep in mind that the NFC is built into the battery. So if the extended batteries don't have NFC then your GN won't either while the extended battery is in it.

That should not be a concern. All of these batteries are factory Samsung batteries and clearly marked with NFC on them.

Most are, yes. But extended batteries tend to be third party and not something Samsung and other manufacturers tend to release. Just something extra to check before buying a new battery.

If it's an official extended battery from Samsung (like the 2000mAh for Galaxy SII), then it'll have NFC as the Galaxy Nexus has the NFC in the battery. Extended batteries from MUGEN is another thing but the announced 2000mAh (Korea) and the 2100 (Verizon) will be official Samsung stuff.

When my battery was dying I tried my brother's battery from his galaxy S i9000. It was just 1500mAh (instead of the original 1650), but I can confirm it fits in the glide and works as well.
Wow! Perfect then I am going to buy a gold battery of the galaxy s i900 to use it with my glide

Galaxy S batteries are 1500ma where the glide's stock battery is 1750ma. Both work fine but of course 1500 is slightly less then 1750 so be advised you may be getting slightly less battery life from it.

I am not going to buy the stock battery, I will buy one of that gold battery of 2430.
Tell us if it work please . Thanks!!!!

Yeah, but will take a long time, because I live in CA, so, I must buy in ebay and then someone will send to me
I bought one of the 2430mAh gold batteries from eBay for $5.60 and I think they're definitely worth the money. Actually just bought another one as a backup for $5.
About the performance: I left it at home for the day, so with very little use (cpu time: ~75% deep sleep, <10% at highest speed) I get more than 26 hours out of it, about 30-50% more than my previous 1800mAh battery. I imagine if you use a Juice Defender like program to turn off your data connection most of the time you might get a result close to this with normal use.

My glide's stock battery is 1650 mA. If I had to use a non glide battery, i will use a SII 4G battery, is a pretty fat, but it fit. It is 1800mA.

I got the two 1960mAh (says "Sporting Persistence" on the label) and an external battery charger for about $20 on ebay more than 6 months ago. Batteries are exactly the same size as the original. Best $20 I spent for the phone single charge last all day during work, not heavy use, making/receiving calls, texts, checking emails, quick Google search.
i9000 Gold Battery on the glide?
Hey,
Has anybody tried one of these?
ebay[.]com/itm/400387942024?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I am thinking of buying a couple of these as the original one doesn't even last 7 - 8 hours. From what i have read here on the forums i9000 batteries fit the captivate glide perfectly..right?
Thanx
Well, i got myself a epic 4g replacement. It does fits perfectly but the battery itself is pretty bad. Battery Monitor widget is approximating 400-600Mah as opposite to 1720Mah of original. But than again for 3$ what can you expect?
Stii awaiting feed-back for some of those gold batteries. So far i heard mixed opinions: wither they're quite good either crap.
Too Fat!
I got a Sporting Persistence 1960 MaH battery but it's thicker than the stock battery and the cover does not fit with it.
UPDATE - I contacted them and they sent a free replacement that's perfectly sized and works well!
This will be a quick one.
My battery is starting to be a bit rubbish, so I am looking at getting a new, higher powered one.
I have found these on ebay that look ok, but I wanted to throw it out to u guys to see if any of u have bought them.....

You get what you pay for, I pay for a warranty I can trust as cheap batteries are too dangerous.
There's also a specific section for accessories.

I get that, totally, and I have been looking at batteries, not their prices, if u know what I mean.
Jut wondering if anyone has had any dealings with these batteries.
Also, I know there is a accessories sections, but this was a question, so I asked it in the Q&A section.
I have only ever used Anchor battery and found them faultless .
Their was a post in Accessories at one time .

Anchor or Anker? I also use Anker, just had a problem with my set of year old ones starting to swell -they replaced them both without quibble.

I looked on their site and only found a 2200mAh battery, the bigger ones are double sized with the retrofit back plate.
Stock battery is only 2100mAh, so the Anker one isn't that much better =/
If the battery fits inside the standard back plate then it is the same capacity (or even less) as the standard battery, it's physically impossible for it to be any greater. Any advert saying a higher capacity for the same size is lying, so avoid.
Main point about the Anker is having two batteries, so you charge outside the phone and always have a fully charged spare to hand.

I'm not going to question ur knowledge about this, but how can u have different mAh "AA" batteries, that are all the same size in that case??
I don't want to have to carry around a second battery with me all the time, this is why I was looking at different bigger capacity batteries =/
You can buy AA batteries in many different forms, alkaline, NiCad, Li-ion etc. Each has a different power density, with Li-ion being the highest. Standard S3 batteries are already the highest density so can't be bettered, if it were that easy then Samsung would have already done it.
The only way to get more capacity is to increase the physical dimensions, don't take my word for it try Wikipedia.

I've found the zerolemon 2300mAh batteries on eBay, HERE and I have also done some web searches about them, they look pretty good and I haven't found any bad reviews. 200mAh bigger than stock, and tested to be that capacity too, so must be true. I'm thinking of going for these, will just have to get a US to UK plug adaptor to go with the charger, lol.

? No, you weren't at all rude -I wouldn't suggest anyone accept 'internet advise' without cross checking it against something else.
The batteries you've chosen have a modest claim for capacity so are probably genuine. Only drawbacks are the limited warranty and return postage, if ever required. The desktop battery charger I have looks identical, plugs into a standard micro usb charger so you might not need an adaptor.
Has anyone ever tried the momax battery ?
