Is there much difference between the two? Currently have the Ankher, thinking of getting the official extended battery.
Is there much point?
Over 2000 posts and yet can't figure out the search button......there's numerous threads on these batteries if you'd actually bothered to look.....

Think youll find i have. There are several thread on the Ankher 1900Mah, and several threads on the Genuine extended. Care to have a pop at the thread starters of them topics?.
Ive also searched through each of the threads, and found nothign specific to my query.
I was looking for someone who has used both of these batteries and can tell if there is a significant benfit in jumping to the official 2000mah from the 1900 Ankher.

Hi mate, fancy seeing you in a place like this.
Yea, moved on since my Symbian days & never been happier. Symbian was great in it's day but was spoiled by slow operating system & crap build quality. First got the Galaxy S & was delighted with it, so now moved up to the S2. Love this phone.
Nice to meet you again.
Better stop now or I will be accused of going off topic. See you soon.
Ankers are not 1900mah but 1600 or 1650 (dont remember for sure but this is what's printed on the cell under the anker wrapping). It's also confrmed by the fact that anker battery lasts same as stock samsung battery. Based on that official 2000mah should last longer but I never had one to confirm from personal experience . Howevet I'm very happy with 2 anker batteries and desktop sharger that I bought for 1/3 of price of official 2000mah battety. 95% of times I swap batteries instead of charging phone. My case is hybrid silicone / hard plastic. I removed stock battery cover plate as case covers the back anyway. When the battery runs down it takes me 10 secs to swap it + with 3 batteries(4800mah) I have 2.5 times more power then extended bat.
Arrived this morning the extended battery. Firt impressions.
I think i prefer the thickness of the phone now. One plus point is that the Camera area now has some protection when itslaid on its back, Isn't being laid straight on the lens.
The heavyness of the phone. Not sure, oesn't seem that heavy to me, but then, i had a Sony Ericsson X10i before this, so its probably on parr with that on weight
Will fully charge it up, and see how i get on.

What about overheating with the samsung new battery? My phone overheats even on running basic HD games on the default battery. Shucks I know. I am thinking of getting hands on 2000 battery but I will not buy it if it has the same overheat problems because I've heard that Anker battery doesn't cause much overheat issues.
1 day 2 hours. 52% battery left. Rom & Kernel setup in my sig!

The anker batteries are high quality...Even when i run games such as 9mm or PES 2012 the phone never over-heats. And the surprising amount of extra battery life whilst keeping the same size is really amazing. So don't go talking about things that you know nothing about. And if your still going to fight me on this then maybe you should check some of the reviews on amazon about it then maybe you could come to your sense and not call it " a cheap Anker battery".
I mean no offence with this but I'm tired of people talking about something whilst not knowing anything about it.
so call me a fool then i guess
I am using the 1900mAh Anker batteries and based on my experience they do last longer compared to the stock 1650mAh. And yes there is no phone heating issues at all.
but hey this is just me sharing my experience. you can call it cheap, because the price really is, $20 dollars for two of them. Cheap when it comes to price, but quality-wise then its worth every cent i paid for. Again this is just me. Maybe the gadget gurus know better if they have tried them

Just wondering if anyone has found 3rd party batteries for the atrix yet?
I'm curious about this as well. I missed having options for battery when I switched to iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4 (like with Treo and BlackBerry). As a mobile addict, I miss extended batteries (even though larger). I hope to have these choices for Atrix and hope the switch to Android doesn't serious piss me off.

Welcome, it may take a bit, bit I think you will be glad you switched.
Also, I am sure third party batteries will show up after a few weekes particularly if the phone is popular.
I'm sure Seidio will have a bunch of accessories out shortly.
I truly wouldn't mind one of the extended battery Juice Pack cases like I had for my iPhone. They added some bulk, but they nearly doubled my battery life on my iPhone, and they are simple to take off plus you don't have to pull out your phone's battery to do it.

With 1930mAh battery installed + laptop dock for 8 more hours running ability, I don't think I need an extra battery more.
I used it very heavily at work. Maybe got like 6hrs out of the oem battery.
Which is the best I have had in all the smart phones Ive used
LOL the battery is large but the way I use my phones I don't know if it will last all day; I looked on eBay a few minutes ago and didn't really see anything.
I have the standard and went and bought two extra batteries for the phone for the days I was out and didbt have access to a charger.

Keep dreaming - mophie (manufacturer of the Juice Pack) steadfastly refuses to offer products for non i- whatevers. I've talked to them about it previously. Only way it'll happen is if Motorola or some other company makes one, and that hasn't happened.

your right i did not think of this. Most people overlook this fact,
I got spoiled by multiple gen-you-whine Motorola batteries for my StarTac. Between the main battery, the AAA tray to replace that, and the piggyback battery...who needed AC?
But I've also found an AWFUL LOT of battery suppliers are junk. Some mislabeled with bogus capacity, some that just don't hold a charge well, some that knock wood I never got, that catch fire.
I don't like gen-you-whine battery prices, especially for a new phone, but I'd be real careful about buying from other vendors right now. Or are there some other vendors you have found that can trust, by brand name?
Supposedly...with standard microUSB power plugs, we are supposed to just use a "powerpack" to recharge the phones on the fly. There's something to be said for doing it that way too, I guess.
My battery states 1880 mAH on the back of it...i thought it should be 1930 mAh
1880...1930...Could be a change in production with one manufacturer being slightly better or a slight change in the process. If you think of them both as "1905+-25mA" it really is just a small difference in battery life.
Maybe that's why some of the 1880's are being sold off cheap, they've been obsoleted?

where can i find them cheap ??
There are loads of batteries out there. Just search for BH6X or BH-6X. Some sellers say they are for Atrix, others for Droid X. I believe its the same battery as the extended droid (I hope!). I just bought one from a US based seller for $21 on EBAY.
FWIW I pulled mine out, it is 1880mA. And that's a phone that shipped last week.
Has anyone comes across a better battery for the play?
I have seen the mugen one stated in this forum but I was hoping for

I know batteries for the X10 are compatible but have yet been unable to find a case
which will accommodate it for the play.

If it is the same price as the X10 battery is don't think I'll be buying it! Which is a shame because it would be perfect. But 97 dollars is a bit rich for me. Considering I bought an extended battery and case for my galaxy so and it cost me £13.

no timeframe they just said "we're actively working on one" when I asked them
as for the price, well... there is no other alternatives. I bought my play for almost 850 usd, if I woulda waited a couple weeks I could have gotten one from canada for about 650... and if I woulda waitted untill it comes out in america I could have probally gotten it subsidized for about 150-200 usd...
if you want something bad enough... you'll pay
Deleting a lot off apps after rooting did wonders for my battery life.
I agree with u on this to some extent. But considering the batteries alone cost around £10, I cannot justify spending £60 on a piece of plastic!

Personnally I'm waiting till the thicker batteries with a replacement back cover come out just for the extra thickness when gaming, added battery life will be a bonus to me.

I just got mine in the mail.
Let me just say, this thing is HUGE! Like, noticeably massive..
Because of this, I am delegating it as my backup battery, for those days when I know I'm going to be having heavy phone usage.
Instead of carrying around my portable charger that takes forever to give any useful charge when I'm out, this will do quite nicely.
Do you guys have a link to where to buy this? Sorry if I'm off topic here.
I have a mugen power 3600mAh and the difference is out standing I really recommend it as it can go for up to 3 days on one charge. Xperia Play is designed for a big battery! especially if you game on it.

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it
E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!
yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.

I had a 1950mha battery in the same size as the stock battery... nothing but bad luck. Phone was on crack. Glitchey and lagging. Then I read that you can cram a higher mha battery inside a stock battery for a phone per se. But then what happens is the battery gets hotter (which that one did) and with the additional heat comes a faster discharge rate, and a overall shorter life span of the battery as it cant stay cool. And with the higher heat will also make your phone hotter
Anyone tried the 2300mAh ebay battery, yet? At $11, I almost want to risk it, but I'd really like to know if anyone else has had experience with it, first. The one I'm currently looking at is eBay item 300832163583 (I'm too new to be able to post links).

Apparently, it's made by a Hong Kong company called Kinps. It's very prominently branded, at least in the picture.

Alright, well that makes me feel not quite as uneasy about trying it out. I looked at the ebay feedback, and I only saw a few negatives for the battery as opposed to ten or so positives, so it might be okay.
This one doesn't look gold-colored though; it's white, purple, and orange.
I bought these yellow/red-on-white ones and they are very stable and give some juice to my Play (they're rated @ 3600mAh). For me in a cROM like KXP for XPlay with Turbo Kernel JB/ICS r12 lasts around 2 days at normal use, I really pushed these batteries to the limit (and my Play too btw) by overclocking @ 2GHz playing NFS: Most Wanted (this game is very hard on resources and CPU) and they didn't explode lol
I have them since June 2012 and they're in good shape right now.
You can try them if you like. :good:

Oh, no, I really, really don't want the deeper battery cover. First, I'd lose my beautiful, blue AT&T rear cover, and second, I wouldn't be able to use my dock! Well, not without switching back to the stock battery, anyway. And that kind of defeats the purpose of using the dock as my charger.
Eh, I'm starting to reconsider the extended back thing. Yesterday, I managed to pull off a full 24 hours on the stock battery. Today, I've only managed about 12. The difference? Today I had about a two hour session of Chip's Challenge on aLynx, haha. So, I'm pretty much draining half or more of my battery capacity just from a couple hours of Lynx emulation. Even if the battery I'm considering does have a capacity of 2300mah, I'm thinking I'd probably want over 3000mah if I keep up this kind of gaming habit. So, I guess I'm considering the 3500mah battery with extended cover from California, now.
I'll only miss having the back in a matching color a bit, but I really wish I could still use it with my dock. Do you guys think the phone would fit well on the dock with the battery installed if I removed the battery cover first?
EDIT: No, I don't think it would fit on the dock at all. I just tried with my stock battery cover off to see where the battery lines up, and it still comes below the lip on the dock. This is a really tough choice.

I prefer stock battery. If you want that extra 100mAh, you could try Anker battery for SIII
if you dont car about price id say:
Mugen

Sedio
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-3500-extended-battery-nfc-p/bacy35ssgs3n-bk.htm
or you could make your own Samsung extended battery if your handy.

you should give us a bit more info on your preference to help you better. if you dont mind changing batteries out throughout the day you could just grab a 2nd OEM Samsung batt and be good?
or if you want the best slim battery? etc...
So Mugen Power is the best, Right ?
Do you want a slim battery or and extended battery?

he wants the "best" battery! duh? lol
has anyone checked out the 3250 mah battery? just search "3250 samsung galaxy s3" on ebay. sorry i can't post links atm. It doesnt come with a battery door cover so i don't think it will add any bulk
Hey over there,
I've tested Mugen, Seidio, Acase, qCell, and many, many more on the original Galaxy S (Epic for Sprint,) the Fascinate (Galaxy S for Verizon,) Epic Touch 4g (Galaxy S2 for Sprint,) and have been toying around with the S3 for Sprint and some friends' phones for about a month.
I'd say you have really two choices... drop the big money and buy ONE Mugen or Seidio, or just buy a couple qCell batteries. Of the five/six qCells I have used and/or tested on my friends' phones, I'd have to say that only one varied in charge capacity from 10-20% of the advertised charge capacity (4200mAH)... and that was after two months of usage that was inconsistent.
For $20 and standard Amazon Prime shipping, I'd just buy two qCells and call it a day. Even after a month of daily or every-other-day full charging, I have not noticed a "memory effect," (yes, Lithium Ion batteries have a memory effect and anybody who tells you otherwise can't spell "hysteresis").
Why buy two? First off, you're going to NEED TWO if you do deep fieldwork in urban environments like I do. There are some nights where I'm sleeping in a gutter in the middle of no where and have to have my phone on 4G to upload ethnographic observations. There are some days I will *not* have access to an electrical outlet, have to use 4G, data transfer, TeleNav, Google Maps, video capture software, sketching software, and a bunch of other *&#^ at the same time, and if you think for a SECOND that having two standard batteries is going to be enough, then you're insane. You need at *least* one, 4000mAH battery with a modern smart phone if you're going to be using these services HARD ALL DAY, and easily two after you've broken the batteries in for a few months.
(Ever try running from a crackhead in the South end of Chicago while changing your battery since you need to dial your primary investigator and tell him that you may not make it back to publish your thesis due to a massive stab wound? Yeah, that's what I thought).
Also, as a word of caution... remember... a lithium ion battery is like a horse's stomach:
1. It needs to be filled often.
2. It needs to be emptied often.
3. If it's used hard (aka extremely warm,) you need to give it a little break (let it cool down ~10 degrees F) before filling it again.
4. When you get a new one, always remember to establish a consistent feeding pattern for a while, (aka always completely empty and completely fill a new battery 10-20 times before you start charging it while half full or while the phone is on).
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN

How much "screen on time" are you getting on that Rom? Screen on time is what matters. Anybody can make their phone last 20 hours with the way the usage & functions are being managed.
I prefer the stock battery, I personally don't like the larger battery because I bought my S3 for the slimness.
I'm running stock battery and cm10 milestone 1 and average well over 4 hours of screen time!

I'm kinda curious about those, too, now. They don't have NFC, but it's almost never that i use NFC anyway.
edit: i might just order one. People in the following thread have ordered the Gold 3250 mAh battery for their Note's, and they seem to have good things to say about them.
