LOL. Yes. Please.elaborate. Haha. I think mugen batteries are good. So are seidio. But they aren't making batteries at the moment for the sgs2.

I would shell out for either Momax or Siedo !
I just ordered momax standard because i find mugen to be pricey. Still waiting for mugen and momax 2500mah. Ebay batteries are cheap though are they worth it? Will look at seido. Thanks

(Edit: sorry I initially thought you meant Mugen doesn't make SGS2 batts)
Mugen batteries for the SGS2: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100.html
I had extended Mugen batteries in the past and the quality is top notch, and so are the rated amps. They are not the usual cheap chinese knockoffs that last you 1/3 of what they claim. They really do last the rated amps and the capacity does not plummet with time. I still have my 3000 mAh Mugen battery for the HTC Touch Diamond and it's still going strong!
Never tried Momax or Seidio but I can vouch for Mugen. They may be a bit more pricey but you do get what you paid for.
Cheers

I vouch for Mugen too!
Had an excelent experience with the 3200mAh extended battery for SGS and I will probably buy the same one for SGS II!!!
Momax got stand in their extended back cover. And price is less than half of mugen. I can buy 3 momax 2500 mah for the price of 1 mugen. Anyone did a real use comparison with these batteries?

How many times does it last compared with stock samsung battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Now we 're talking about the battery for SGS, but it is useful for concusions.
So with the stock samsung battery it lasted me 1-2 days, depending on the usage.
With the Mugen 3200mAh extended battery it lasted me 2-4 days, again depending on the usage.
BUT it all depends on the usage!!!
I remember a few times with the extended batttery on, I managed to drain it off in one day with the heaviest usage I 've had!
And another time with medium to low usage it lasted 6 days!!!
So I hope that I helped you!

If you 're like me, meaning that you want double the power no matter the slight increse in thickness, then the Mugen extended battery will never disappoint you my friend!!!
Has anyone tried this extended battery?

i have looked at Momax site many times, the only battery's they sell for the galaxy s2 are 1450mAh and 1650mAh there not extended battery's considering the battery that comes with the mobile is 1650mAh.
As for Mugen they offer 1700mAh and 3200mAh..
I think Mugen is the way to go, unless Momax can come up with somthing better.
Bought something like this for 9$:
http://www.spider-foot.com/3500mah-backup-extended-batterydoor-cover-for-samsung-gti9100-galaxy-s-2-ii-910eb-p-962.html
got it 2days ago but havent time yet to test it Free sheeping to any country, I had 2 other battier for SGS1 and they were working fine, we will see how is this one.
Bought it mostly for Croatia becasue leaving today for 2weeks and need some more power for beach, shooting movies, listening to music etc Will report back how its working
I'll be getting the 3200mA battery from Mugen once its out, they are sending me one to do a review on, so I will let you know how my experience is. I tend to think with batteries its better to buy them from places with better reputations - how well regarded is Momax?

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!

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?

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.

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 %)?
Does anyone know if there is a slim version of an extended battery? I have the onite 4300mah extended battery and it last all day, but I don't like the fact that it's a lot heavier than the phone with the stock battery. I don't need that much power. Just something to get me an hour or two more out of my phone. Something a little higher than the 2100mah. Any thoughts? Also if this post already exist, please delete this one, I apologize if there is one I was unable to locate it.

Hm. im afraid not... You could always underclock your phone or root... but i seriously am blanking out i honestly think there is no "slim" version of the extended battery.
Well I mean instead of me having a 2100 mah is there somethin little higher capacity or does someone know of a website that sells extended battery doors. I have the onite extended battery and I might just stick with that but the back door broke for the phone and I don't know of anyone who sells a pebble blue extended battery cover.

You can find a bunch on eBay. They even have 3000mah from china. I just bought 2 2800 from USA for like $15 they are the same physical size as stock battery. Just search i747 battery on eBay.
Are they NFC enabled like the stock battery is ?
Remember that on the GS3, NFC is built into the battery itself, not onto the phone.
Of course, if you don't need it...
i recently received my 2300 mAh Onite with NFC from Amazon.
so far, it's providing me with just a few more hours. which is all i needed anyways, and keeping the same battery cover.
i also have a CellularFactory 4500 mAh with NFC that provides me with 2 days of battery that i use when traveling.

With the slim battery, how long is your screen time? I think with stock I can hit about 3 hours before I have to charge the phone.

Unfortunately there aren't any that don't make the phone look pregnant. I think you can find 1950mah batteries but that's not gonna give you more than an extra hour I would think.

The 2650 is certainly a fake. I saw those too, gold battery or something like that. I tried the Andida 2300 and got a little longer battery life but it crapped out after a month or two causing random reboots.

There is actually a 2000 mAh battery out there. I bought it myself, but as other people said, if you do the math, it only adds about an hour, so it wasn't really worth it. If you really want an extended battery, go for the ones with the extra bulk, or buy two 1800 mAh batteries to swap during the day.
How about 2500mah Galilio or 2520mah "Sporting Persistence" on ebay?

I hope the Andida doesn't get random reboots after a couple months! I got the Andida 2300 about 6 weeks ago and so far so good. I'm getting about 10-15% better battery life and am getting no random reboots (yet).

Agreed, the Anker batteries (two pack with charger for less than $20) has been great. I have been using them for about 2 months now and they are doing just fine.
I have to agree about the Anker batteries as well. Be careful about what you buy off ebay though. I bough a 3 pack of supposedly 1800mAh batteries off Ebay and they were all ****. I compared the physical size of the batteries with the oem one and they were all thinner and lighter. Get the Anker ones. I bought an Anker one about a month ago and so far it's working great.
Yeah I just unwrapped a cheap 1800mah battery I got off ebay and the markings underneath indicated its a 1500. Its also skinnier than stock.
I just picked up some EzoPower brand batteries and they appear to be real 1800. Need to give them a few more charging cycles to get a better idea.
Hi there I was looking to get a longer lasting battery than my stock one with my S3 and I am a bit of a noob - I really dont like the fat ones so would be great to get one to fit inside. Now when I was browsing I noticed this 3800 one : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3800mAh-High-Capacity-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-i9300-/300944750217?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4611b47689 seems great specs but I cannot find anyone thats reviewed it - seen a few posts on the 'gold' ones (and this may be one of them I think - just looks different) on ebay at 3250 and some people say there good but I am unsure which is best and if there are probelms involved? Or if they are actually better / worth getting? I.e. I see mentions of leakey batteries memory problems and NFC loss - I guess I dont mind the NFC loss is that about it? Thanks!

Yes I have searched through many places already. I guess I was hoping maybe someone had tried this particular battery. I guess I might have to assume its like a 'gold' one. A zerolemon at 2300 and anker at 2200 isnt the stock 2100? Sounds a bit pointless to get an extra 200 no? I.e. how long extra are you getting out of these?
Got a feeling this 3800 will be more like 2500 at best anyway I suppose - would be nice to know...I suppose these cheap batteries dont leak or over heat or wipe card memories - not sure why some people talk about this - not seen any reports of this.
The zero lemon one rated at 2300 is lasting me over 24 hours.

2 weeks ago I picked up a couple ZeroLemon 2300 batteries and I'd guess I get an additional 30-40% life over my 13 month old stock battery. I had been using a QCell 2100mah battery for the last 12 months as well and it worked well enough, including NFC. The QCell was no better than the stock battery at the time of purchase, hard to say if the ZeroLemon is at this point as I can't remember my old battery stats. I do miss NFC functionality with the ZeroLemon batteries but I may be the only idiot who ever actually used NFC tags anyway.
