Bought my new battery from my local Sprint store last Friday. It came with the new back. Does anyone know where to find cases for these? It is the same back that johnnychimpo has in his post.

Does it charge to 100%? also does it definitely give you longer life?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
As far as charging, I can't be positive, but it does show 100% on the battery app I downloaded. As far as better life, heck yeah!!! I tried my hardest to kill it today.what would have killed my stock battery, this one went 6 hours longer.

I dont use a case for mine. I have a body glove flip leather case for it with invisishield. Could you post some pics of the battery. Wondering if that sprint store is selling chinese batteries or if this one is oem or name branded. Thanks
You can buy a 2700 directly from Sprint now? Do you have a pic of it ?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I can get a pic tomorrow. I'm unsure why my Sprint store sells them, because I called 3 others near me, and my store is the only one that has them.

Did sprint give you instructions on how to charge it being that the phone can't properly charge it on its own? I find it interesting that sprint is selling extended batteries now because if they/HTC don't come up with a fix for the charging problem they are going to be getting a lot of calls!
Unfortunately, no. I'm probably gonna take it back tomorrow. I can't find a case??

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 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.

3200mah, thicker than the regular one?
no way you'll be able to get that kind of capacity without making the battery bigger.. almost all aftermarket battery claiming above 2200mah are selling snake oil, but i'd like to hear back with the results you get.
That's what I was thinking but it's definitely same size it doesn't have nfc and seller recon it has roughly 30% more battery power but I will share results if its shift well I lost $20 but I will try argue with seller and say it's not working right

Usually it came with custom back cover. Standar battery is 2200 mah (or 2400 mah, i'm forgot), so 3200 mah will definetly bigger than original battery.

Anker 2200mah. You won't notice any improvement though. To do that you will have to go up a size.

It has been a while since the GS3 was released now, surely the same size battery size can go up to 2400 to 2500 now.

Mugen Power 2300 mAh Slim Extended Battery <--- this is the exact answer you are looking for. Provides an additional 10% or so of usage to your phone without bulking up the size. At 40$~ ish it is slightly expensive, but it is the best solution for those looking for a better battery without bulking =)

Does it still fit with the stock back and is it from china?

Sorry to let you know but you just got ripped off. I bought a "2600" and a "2900" maH battery from eBay as well in the past, only to find out that they last me around 8 hours with about 1 hour and 30 minutes of screen on time - the true mAh in these batteries is around 1400-1700, if I had to take a guess. You can peel off the sticker on the 2900 battery you ordered and it will probably say the true capacity of the battery imprinted onto it. As I said in one of my earlier posts, the only "real" slim extended batteries are the mugen 2300, anker 2200, and hyperion 2200, in which the mugen comes out on top from personal experience =)

FTFY.
There is no way you believe that a random Chinese company making deals on eBay has somehow figured out a magical unicorn battery technology that allows them, not only to completely outdo Samsung in capacity, but also undercut them in price.

Just wait for the official 3000mah Samsung battery. only slightly thicker.
Take a look at these screenshots.
My battery is f*cked, right?
Looks like it's broken, I had the same issues with my previous battery.
Yep, its dead. I had exactly the same... Got me a mugen power battery, and my phone is as new now it takes a week or 2 before u get it, but its well worth the wait and u get a 1600mah instead of the stock 1400mah, with the same dimensions. Not like the bigger, extended 3200mah battery, where you need a new back cover. Check it out

Would you agree it'll be better than my BROKEN stock battery? -_-
It is better as ur broken battery, dont worry. As for the 85% problem, i noticed that too. Phone at 5% batt with 3,7v remaining when it should shut down at 3,2v. But i use the nexus one batt calibrator's learn function to give my phone additional amps when needed, as long as i have enough voltage fcourse. That way i can use full potentional of the battery until i take the time to find a better solution to properly calibrate the mugen battery

Speaking of that app, I have no clue how to use it. Probably no use with my broken battery anyway, but regardless, how does it work exactly?
