the officially Samsung battery pack is out wander how much thickness it will add :
"An official Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 accessory that fits to your Samsung Galaxy S II and provides additional power.
Essentially an extended battery, this power pack for the Samsung Galaxy S II has a 1300mAh capacity. Add this to the 1650mAh standard battery in the device already that gives 2950mAh. "......
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-power-pack-extended-battery
sorry mods if this been posted before, couldn't find it no where posted
Actually sounds good to me but how is it supposed to work, I mean how do you add the extended Battery? does it switch automatically or do you have to manually switch it when normal bat runs out of juice? Well I know u cant answer as dont have it either but what do u guys think?
And is this anywhere confirmed to be official, I mean I could sell "official" Samsung pee myself xD.
From my understanding if you can't turn it off it will kill the internal battery very fast because it will be constantly charging and recharging at 100%.
Does anyone have more information???
i was going to buy one of theys, but i decided to get a newteck 5000Mah battery pack for 20 quid instead, glad i got it instead.
Where U get this one from?
To my understanding the extended battery pack is kind of like a mobile charging dock.
When you put it on the phone, the phone goes to the charging mode.
I just ordered one. I hope it works like that, that I can keep the extended case in my bag and if running out of juice I just hit it in the place like putting it on a dock.
Of course I have to make sure that the extended case is also charged first.

Found this for you guys. Lookin a lil large. i think i read somewhere that when the Power Pack in installed on the Galaxy S II it is about the size of a 7" Galaxy Tab (just kidding!)
Gosh that is uglyyyt !!!

I agree with Newtrent guy: http://www.newtrent.com
I don't want to put such a fugly case on the phone... So an external battery (Which isn't so big, 4 inch by 4 inch by 2 inch, slips in a pocket) connected to the phone is my "on the fly recharge" solution. I got the imp1000, 11000 mAh battery, charged my HD2 5 full times before needing to be recharged.

It actually increases the size to about the Dell Streak from what I see. The Tab is a little too big! haha
external battery is much better, get one which can charge multiple devices like notebooks etc. You'd only have to bring one external battery for both phone and notebook device needs
RE: killing the battery because of charging/recharging at 100%.... is this still true? Because I thought / heard somewhere that the newest generation lithium batteries are less prone to that kind of fragility. Over maybe a year... sure... but how fast is "fast" when talking about killing a battery by charging it on full charge?

pre-ordered and still waiting it to deliver
I am actually now thinking about cancelling it and thinking about some other options to longer the batterylife in special needs.
I have dock at home and work so no worries here but then if have a long day at bar etc then I might need more juice on the road..
Hmm, any phone should shame if it wont make it a full day tho. Kinda makes me wonder why this sgs2 eats bats this fast.
Is this piece is available for purchase?
Am I the ONLY one who has one right now?
Looks good and cool!

Hi, I will soon receive my SGS II and I normally use 2-3 batteries for my current Nexus S to get by a single day. I'm wondering where can I buy SGS II battery and separate charger? I've searched everywhere but can't find one. Without extra battery my new SGS II will be kind of useless for me. I Know it has 1650 mah, but it just means I can get by with just one additional battery instead of two . Thanks.
usually stuff like battery's comes along a short while after a product has been released .

When you see what you have to do to get off the battery cover I predict you'll be wanting you go that less than three times in a day.

Get a powermonkey to keep your battery topped up. I've had one for years and has been a real life saver.

I personally would prefer a 3500mAh extended battery, like the ones available for SGS1 and HTC EVO. The price of these units is also reasonable.
cryptic, yes you are right, I have SGS II now for couple of days and removing the cover and putting it back on seems to be a pain in the A**. But looking at the battery life, it seems i'll be fine with one more battery and I'll just buy one more back cover should it break due to opening again and again which seems very likely.
tamas, I have been using extended batteries before and really loved it, but SGS II is the slimmest phone in the world, I don't want to make it look fatter and bulkier. I just like it being slim and very light. It may be even lighter then my Nexus S.
Don't worry about the back cover breaking or anything.

Yeah, there is always a tradeoff... The powermonkey and other similar solutions are even heavier and need more space. Right now I have a powerbank with 4xAA batteries, capable to charge any USB-powered unit - it serves well, especially if you want to charge different devices.
However it's ~300g and you have to hassle with the cable, which is not so easy e.g during trekking.

There are plenty of 3000-3500mAh batteries available for the SGS-1, let's hope they will come up very soon with SGS-2 compatible batteries.
P.S.: if anyone knows that one is available, please give a note here.
Weird. I got at least 20 hours out of a standard battery on the 9000.
Hopefully there will be a battery available soon, always prefer to have a spare on me, just in case...

I'll need one in about a month. There are great stuff on ebay for the SGS-1, such as 2x3500mAh batteries+cover in a bundle. I want something like that for my sgs2...
Finally it is now available on Ebay. Though I need just one extra with a charger, they include 3! All other sellers on ebay seems to be selling wrong battery.

Nope, the one I am looking for is a big system battery, which needs a new back cover (~twice as thick as the original battery).
The phone gets thicker, but finally I can hike all day long using GPS with one charge and no hassle with external batteries/cables.
Do we have any word on whether the GNex will have an Extended battery option? I know the battery and door are removable, but that's a necessary thing for if I'm going to be using this phone.
The holy grail, of course, would be pics of the phone with an extended battery, but that may not happen until well after release.
Im only looking for hopefully an extended oem battery. If not ill prolly just pick up one or two regular batteries depending on how good or bad it is.

Does this mean your going naked
Extended batteries are going to be an issue with this phone. An NFC issue that is, since the antenna circuit is embedded on the plastic cover. Either Samsung would have to engineer a thicker replacement, or someone like Mugen that makes their extended battery cover doors as close to the original design as possible. Inexpensive third party makes would probably forego the design and manufacturing costs, to produce a cover only, but that would eliminate one of the great new functionalities in ICS.
I am watching closely the developments in this, but for now I am planning to have my chargers within arms reach (car, work, solar)...

The only thing better than an extended battery is an actual case that fits it.
http://store.androidcentral.com/sei...ttery-case-fits-2750--3200-mah/4A145A8486.htm
Unless the Galaxy Nexus really takes off (not likely, even with VZW), we probably won't see any advanced type of battery + case combo.
I have to be on the go 20+ hours a day sometimes and I cannot spend all of my time babysitting a phone. As much as I want this thing, without an extended battery and a good case, it just won't fit my needs.

Simple, every night charge the phone and a spare battery in an external charger. At 3 PM when the first battery dies, swap in the other. Unless you don't put the phone down all day, 2 batteries should be enough. If you need a little extra, turn off the lte radio when you can get by on 3g.

way too much work, I usually go with extended batteries so I don't have to worry about it. The added 1/4 or 1/6th of an inch doesn't bother me, but having to replace batteries, waiting for the phone to reboot is just annoying.
Still no word on the extended battery front for the GNex?
Battery and Case Issues
Be very careful if you choose to pre-order a case to have on hand when your Verizon GNex arrives. I've read that the stock back cover of the Verizon phone is slightly different from the GSM phones to accomodate the larger 1850 mAH battery. A few case vendors are noting their cases as not being compatible with the LTE version of the phone, but many are not. Of course, if you're ordering a pouch or other case which doesn't require a precise fit, you're probably fine. But, with any sort of hard case, BUYER BEWARE unless it is specifically noted as being for the Verizon LTE version of the phone.
Samsung made an extended battery + a new cover for the SGSII so they'll probably do the same for the Nexus. I hope they do so because we would have a flat back. I dont like this little bump where the camera or the speaker is.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey guys, just a quick heads up. I just got my Galaxy Nexus and it boots up very quickly so having two batteries and swapping them during the day wont be too painful. The back cover is a bit of a fiddle to put back on though, feels like it might break after a while as its very thin. Hope that helps!
Everyone has their needs but for my Nexus one I bought a second battery and hardly ever used it, most phones now a days charge USB, and Micro USB at that, almost everyone I know has a micro USB charger, I have several, including one at home one in the car one at work, friends co-workers have them etc, I have mixed them or used Nokia Blackberry Motorola HTC Samsung home and car changers, Bluetooth headset chargers etc all USB micro they all work on any device for me there is no need for an extended battery and if the original one dies within a year I will either have a new phone of just buy a replacement battery.
my two cents
here u go ppl. extended 2000mah battery for the galaxy nexus
http://phandroid.com/2011/11/29/gal...ah-extended-battery-and-cover-in-south-korea/
Great news. I will be buying that as soon as its out in the UK or if it takes too long to get announced I will just import it.
Nice, might get one of them when they are in the UK. How much bigger and heavier do you think it will make it?

The phone should have come with that battery as the default option. With less than 15% more battery capacity I would say it is not really worth buying.
Whoa I need it!
I'll get it imported as soon as it's available anywhere in the world. (Well, no options here in Thailand anyway FML)

That looks scary similar to the Mophie Juicepack Air case for iPhone.
I'd be concerned about the quality, though, especially at that price. And there's no way you'll find a review on that.

been waiting for something like this
but with 3000mAh or more,
Im sure there will be more soon
I have similar but for my Note & better
cos mine is slimmer & doesnt have that Snap top
so can pull it out faster & is slim on the top
& it claims 3000mAh battery on it
but gives me only 70% of refill charge
Note has 2500 & case 3000 still doesnt give one full charge
yours has 2200mAh battery & S3 has 2100mAh on it
wonder how much more juice it will give
Also the lights on bottom get anoying aftre a while
wish it was behind the case
True that, but might get one anyway, as I also have an external power pack and a replaceable battery.
But never thought of those things, thanks for the input
Edit:
thought what the heck and bought one, doesn't exactly cost much. When I get it ( in about two weeks! ) I'll do a little review on it like how much of the battery it can charge etc.
Was thinking about the capacity but I wouldn't want anything much bigger than that tbh

nice one
Recieved one on the 2200mAh cases yesterday (Power Bank).
(link: h**p://***.ebay.co.uk/itm/2200mAh-Backup-Battery-Charger-Power-Bank-Case-Cover-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-I9300-/280916343518?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4167eb3ade)
Charged it up (came about 2/3 full) and then let my S3 run down to flat (quite hard now I'm getting 20 to 22 hours out of it).
Started charging and it got to about 50% in 3 hours before it ran out..
Considering the phone was on and, based on previous discharge rates, was using about 5% an hour, the total charge was about 65% (if i'm being generous).
65% of an S3 battery @ 2100mAh = 1365mAh.....
Not too bothered at the cost (or size - S3 is way too thin as standard for my liking), but was hoping for a lot more from it..... For the bulk it adds, and the fact that you can't sync or charge the phone while the case is on, is a big negative for me....
Maybe my hopes were too high having come from iPhone battery cases which almost lived up to their advertised power ratings as well as allowing you to charge case & phone at the same time and sync through the case....
Just thought I'd share my findings...
Hope it helps others looking for a similar case.
I like the heftier size of the phone after fitting the extended battery, fits my hands much better. I hope that they come up with a flipcase though because obviously the original won't fit anymore. I don't understand people who just buy a case for the back because you can buy another back very easily. The front however is a different question. If you don't protect the glass, it will scratch and can even shatter when you drop the phone.
As often as I am checking/using my phone, it's not worth it to me to get a flip case. I would go mad having to flip it open countless times an hour. A good back case will also (albeit slightly) protect the front

I have the 4500mAh battery and am VERY happy with it. I am not impressed by advertising that says "Highest capacity slim profile battery". That may be so, but you can only get so much power from a slim line battery. I thought I would never go to a battery that would require changing the size of my phone by putting on a different battery cover, BUT I'm glad I did.
The 4500mHh battery has been well worth it, IMHO. Got it from Gorilla gadgets, BTW.
Looks like it doesn't support NFC. I know that's a deal breaker for some.
I wouldn't trust anyone but Samsung to build a battery that fits under our stock battery cover that provides anything more than we already get.

Anyone tried these and have some results

Just ordered the set myself. Is there instructions for the first use? Fully Charge at first or something?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
Yes the instructions say charge for 12 hours before use and they have a break in of 5-6 charges for full battery life. Also they have NFC enabled crossed of in black sharpie on them the charger feels a little cheap too and flickers when you have your phone on the USB port while charging one oft the batteries. How they expect us to charge them both for 12 hours is odd the one I put in my phone charged much quicker than that and leaving it on longer is pointless as when they hit full safe chargers stop charging the batteries.
Battery 1 finished in 10 hours on the charger battery 2 finished in 2 hours in phone on stock charger stock battery is in charger now.
Charger had the following colors for led
Blue- no battery powered
Pink-battery charging
Purple- battery done
Also while charging and using the USB port is possible the charger led flickers when doing so. I don't believe it has enough amps to power both unfortunately. None of the batteries got warm at all while charging.
As for NFC Samsung should have never put it in the battery to begin with I'm thinking about getting a galaxy note 2 back pulling the NFC ant out of it and putting it in my s3 as they put the contacts for wireless charging and NFC external ant in our phones.

Hows the performance of the batteries vs stock?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
Not sure yet just got them today and they just finished charging for the first time. After I use them for a couple days I'll post here. Overall they seem just as well made as the stock battery perhaps a bit heavier but I would need a very accurate scale to find out just how many grams they are.

So, the Glide is compatible with Vibrant battery? and the vibrant battery is compatible with Galaxy S i9000, So, we can use Galaxy S i9000 battery in our glides? for example

Hi! lorddavid . I also habe been using a Samsung SII 4G battery. It a little fat, but it close the cover. (in my opinion, dont use this battery because broke the cover).

Yes, I see that battery before, but I want something that fit in the original size :/
Has anybody confirmed if this will work yet? For under $7 and having over 50% better battery life than stock, attracts me. Let me know if anyone has tried it and it works.

In this store, they say that the galaxy S i9000 is the same with the glide

Someone can confirm this?
I bought one of them extended batteries off ebay today then found out when I got home that were upgrading next weekend. Since I'm getting the htc one it was a $12 waste.

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!!!!
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
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!
