spare batteries anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Seeing a few on eBay now but it's unclear what the capacity is. I'm wary of them anyway as I've had Chinese sellers send me the wrong battery for recent phones (check the listing, the battery described is often different from the one in the title!). Also I've had fake capacity batteries sent out - 800mah or less packed out to full capacity size with foam-rubber!
I'm hoping someone will make an extended capacity battery as it wouldn't need to stick out the back much as the i9100 is recessed anyway. There is an external battery pack available but it's just an additional battery that clips round the phone, not a replacement. Fugly too!

Ditto. Would love to score some batteries by next week since I'm going on a trip and won't always have access to an outlet. Especially since the battery drain is horrible.
Guess we're out of luck in the States since it'll take a while if shipped from UK

Looking at eBay I see a backup battery like this:
1900mAh Back-Up Battery For Samsung Galaxy S2 II i9100
Granted it is not an actual spare battery...for approx USD$10 it may be worth it to get it for some emergency juice for the phone.

Battery 3500mAh

I am very sorry if there is already topic like this one.
I found on ebay a battery that was 3500mAh or 3600mAh I don't recall exactly, but they say that it is the exact size like the original and won't change the size of the phone like the 5000mAh does.
My question is did someone has it,and how is it working? How many hours did your phone last?
Thank You in advance!

Absolute nonsense. Every battery that claims vast improvements in the same form factor is a scam.
If 3500mah could fit in the space provided, Samsung would have included a 3500mah battery.

I Don't agree,there could be a lot of reasons why they didn't put one,from budget point of view to supply issues. It's not like they strive to bring you the best at any cost.

By all means... go ahead and buy the battery and let us all know how fantastic it is!

Yes, please buy it and test it and see if it's recommended for us to get 1 too

Not yet but I'll buy it in the coming weeks and report as soon as possible.

Wow~ it's sound great, 3500mAh. Should be enough for a whole day use. Not sure I can buy it in Hong Kong...

yeah but users report its not 3500 but more like 3100.

I've always wondered whether the Note 2's battery fits in the GN. Because from the reviews the battery looks like the same size... anyone done the comparison?

If you meant the Gold battery, then it is 3500mAh. I bought two and noticed a huge difference compared to my stock battery. The stock used to power the phone until 7pm with moderate usage, wifi and bluetooth always on. Ever since I used the Gold battery, the battery still is at approximately 40% at 11pm. The battery still is 2 days old but still, the difference is noticeable

can you guys do a nova battery tester run on those batteries?

Mine came with 2800 mAh. Since it's cheaper than stock it has worth the purchase. Don't get your hopes high with these batteries.
Your srock may be dieing if it's almost a year old. Mine got down to 1700 mAh and this explains the "huge" difference you see in your new battery.

I bought the Gold battery two months after I got my Note so it means the OEM is still at it's peak. But yeah, I really don't have high hopes for replacement batteries. They may have a higher charge but they won't last as long as OEM. Like my dslr batteries, I get more juice out of the replacement batteries but my OEM battery outlasted them. But it is still worth it for me. What good is a camera (or phone in this case) if it does not have power when you really need it? Battery life does not matter to me (atleast in my case since I could buy 4 to 5 replacement batteries for 1 OEM dlsr battery - the Gold battery however, is another case).I keep that mantra all the time and I am happy with it :laugh:

Mugen 2300mah extended battery

Hey everybody, I googled extended batteries for the gs3 & came across a mugen branded extended battery. I have never heard of it till' today, & have never purchased from them before, do any of you guys have one, or know someone who does? I'm looking for an extended battery but without all the bulk, any recommendations?

I actually have this.
I can't really whether there is a difference. I feel it is about the same or slightly better. Is there an app that can measure? If so, I can let you know.

check out my thread with the anker battery tested and proven more than stock...i dont want to talk down on mugen as i have not used their battery on this phone.

isn't this battery 3.7v while stock is 3.8v? i don't think you will get much benefit from this battery over stock.

I've heard of anker batteries before, just never used them myself, do they have nfc as well?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I don't know what link you are referring to. I bought it straight from mugen.
My advise is just get a replacement stock battery. I think the additional amount doesn't justify it.
I just can't tell the difference.

My battery

Quick question...
It hardly holds its charge and often doesn't fully charge overnight when I've woken up in the morning.
If this sounds like a dead battery to people, what I need to know is how do I go about finding a legitimate battery online?
Are the ones on these accessories shops online any good?
Help, please!

Just look for one on amazon. They always have good stuff. I'd also advise you to look into an extended battery. They aren't much more, but do a lot more when it comes to battery life. Hope I helped

You totally helped. And, yes, I was hoping to get an extended battery as well I just can't have it be thick or else it won't fit in my case. I guess anything over 1400maH is fine. I hear the batteries by "Anker" are supposed to be the best? Is that true?

Got two Anker batteries on amazon. Great price, can't wait to get them.

Anyone know how I can get Anker batteries in Canada? Seems like none of the vendors will ship batteries here.

Just wanted to configrm - they are awesome indeed.

I've upgraded mine to a 1650mAh Mugen Power within the last week. It's new and the discharge curve is epic, especially compared to my stock battery that stared to bulge and hold about 8hrs worth of charge. This thing easily lasts me all day, so far. It will happily extend the life of my device as I upgrade to the Nexus 4 in the spring and pass this down to my mother.

I just ordered the 1550 Anker off ebay. Glad to hear they are quality. I found some 1900mah ankers on Amazon after the fact. Anyone have experience with the 1900mah Anker?

I have the Anker 1550ma, but didn't know there was a 1900....does that require a new back battery cover, or is is the same size battery as the 1550?

A 1900 would be awesome. My original battery hardly lasts through a workday anymore.

I just recently shipped the anker battery 1550 mah. From what I see the battery is better than stock battery. I'm just curious, but how much hours are you guys getting with your battery ( from full charge to 2 %)?

3250mAh and 2850 mAh Gold Battery, anyone has test it?

I've spotted both these high-capacity batteries while having the original size on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Batteries-/20357/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=gold+battery+for+galaxy+s3
Is there anyone out there has tested it?

Interested in knowing this.
They are quite cheap and I like that they have the original size.

The "gold" batteries are known fakes
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

They're fake. If it was possible to put that kind of mah in a battery and keep the same size don't you think Samsung would have done a little better with their battery?

i have to agree with this! And i hope people will learn not to buy this.

Replacement Battery
I have tried some of these batteries, and to be frank, it is not 3250mah. BUT it works fine and it last almost as original.
the best one is the white with KINPS on it.
I have not tried the gold one with Y letter.
Sometimes I think most of these are just the same only wrapping is different....
