I was told to get the extended battery from verizon by XDA member player911. I said okay, looked online and didnt find anything. I pm'ed him and he said call the store, ask them if they have it, and ask the price. It may come up as 50.00, if so hang up call another store. When it comes up as 25.00, profit. I attached proof for the ones that say pics or never happened.

They had a sale a while ago. Maybe that store didn't know it ended

I work for Verizon the sale is still going on. The system automatically discounts the Reps do not have the capability for discretionary discounting

Thanks to the OP for bringing this to my attention.
Hmm.. after more reading, I don't think the verizon battery will work with the gsm phone.. lol
No the LTE and GSM are different. They also have different battery doors.

As far as I know, this battery has always been "on sale" for $25 from Verizon since launch. I've seen these reminder news posts about it about every month now.

The verizon battery comes with a new cover that will fit the battery. But you're saying the actual width/height of the battery is different and won't fit in the slot?
Does it make a significant difference? I have the stock battery and I am usually plugged into an outlet for some of the day, but I run full brightness and Juice defender and have NO problems getting through the day. Although I would like to feel like I dont have to be tethered to a wire all day.
I too am mulling over buying the "extended" battery. Even though I'm not far from a USB charger in my daily routine.
25 dollars isn't that much money, but it's pretty pathetic when you only get an extra what? 300mAh? Something like an extra 16% capacity.
From what I have seen the extended battery and door don't really add any significant weight or thickness to the phone (which is good) but it really makes you wonder why they didn't just make the "extended" the stock battery if it adds no significant weight or thickness.
I came from my Sprint Evo with the official sprint extended battery, and to be honest I'm enjoying the "thinness" of my Nexus without the double width action going on.
I might stop by the sprint store today and pick one up after work, ONLY because I really want to get my inductive charging mod completed today. It's kind of pointless to mod the stock battery door and all that junk only to have to do it again for the extended back cover.
Granted my Nexus only cost me 9 dollars after trading in my Evo4G, after a Rearth case, Zagg film, and touchstone materials I gotta start watching how much I spend if I throw an extended battery in the mix.
Seems I'm an accessory whore
I somehow lost my extended battery while on vacation and have to buy a new one.... I'm hoping it is still $25.... but when I pull it up it now says for me it is only 25% off making it $37... Could be because there is a corporate discount on my account. Anyone know if it still is $25, or am I just a couple days too late :-(

Edit:
Crap, just noticed it's for the 1650, but the picture is of an 1850 mah.
i still think the offer on ebay for $40 for the Docking+1850 NFC battery is way better than buying the battery by itself
i got 2 of those
1 for home , and another for the office
and as usual i always carry 2 extra battery pack with me
because i know i can burn through 1 really fast, on my down time
in the doctor office waiting room, i can easily burn the battery down to 30% in 3 hours
that's on the Nexus S and I9000, so i'm expecting similar performance on the SGS2
I just got 2 extra OEM batteries the other day, I've got to say it's pretty sweet to turn up the screen brightness and not worry about battery life.

a bit off topic but yeah... i don't even know what's the point of having an Appointment! with the Doctor, if you arrive on time or even early, and you still need to wait an average of 2 hours give or take a few
so i really hate going to see a doctor unless i'm in dying needs for some prescription medicine
like what's the point of having an "appointment" if it's like a walk-in clinic?

Using tethering for my ipad 2 wifi and downloading bt using ttorrent regularly. stock battery can't last me a day. This one can last me full day with around 15% left.
Also got a galaxy nexus battery rated at 2050mAh
Can you comment on the 2050 MAh battery? Does it fit with the stock back cover? Doesn't really seem legit as the OEM extended requires a different back cover.
Might be worth the risk checking it out for $15...
You can use original cover with the 2050mAh battery from what i tried here

NFC is unavailable for all third party batteries as far as I'm aware
Unless the third-party in question chooses to equip their batteries with a suitable aerial.
As this is the first thread I'm aware of featuring this particular brand of battery, it's worth asking.
can u tell us if the 2050mah worths the stock battery or if its better?
Nice Find! Ordered, seems like our phone might finally function as a replacement for a handheld GPS (Garmin, Magellan etc...)
I would love to hear your thoughts on the 2050mAh battery. It seems like a lot of these aftermarket batteries don't do any better than the stock battery even with the higher charge capacity.

I am getting the 2050mAH batteries on Monday and will test it out.
Any updates?
bump for updates pls
it's running quite well. I'm getting around 20% power left on a full day of internet / chatting / a family guy and simpsons video / 30 mins tethering. This thing is a beast compare to the original battery!
such things are REALLY ugly. But I understand why we need it.
So the question is, why there can't be something as slim as Razr MAXX's 3300mah battery? ...
In the past I thought it is technological impossible to produce the slim extended battery like Maxx's, until I see how Razr Maxx works.
It is thicker than Original Razr, but it is so much better in design with giant battery.

Think it has something to do with the fact that it isn't removable, but I may be wrong.
Do they make these for the LTE variant? Seidio has a 3850 battery but it costs almost $70 and this is only $20!

I just bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330698068250?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I just needed a spare battery, Usually I come home from school with like 65% left but for some reason I like to spend money on my GNeX accesories, so I bought this battery. I hope it has NFC but for 4$ whatever.
So my question is, anyone know where to find a 1750MAH battery charger like those ones that samsung sells where the batter just slips in and the lid closes? I need one but not prepared to pay the 20-30$.
Any cheap ones that you guys use that work well?
I found this one on Amazon and it's in the mail now. Seems cool because you can adjust the charging pins to fit lots of different rectangular batteries. Haven't received it yet but if you're interested I'll repost after I do.

The pic on that listing shows nfc on the picture of the battery, but like all fake Samsung batteries, it won't actually have it. I say when you get it, report that the item received was not what was listed and get a refund. It won't be worth anyone's time or money to pay for return shipping, so you'll end up with a free battery and the person who listed that will hopefully learn from their attempted scam.

Hmm yeah I'll see it it supports nfc and if it doesn't, I might get the 3.99$ back but eh, it still didn't say anything about nfc in the description and this guy has a good eBay reputation so whatever

Recently I was contacted by LapTopMate.com and asked if I wanted to test one of the new ANKER extended batteries for the GS3. As someone who has used them for quite a while in other phones I said yes.
It arrived today and now I am charging it. Will do comparison on ON SCREEN time with the Standard battery.
Thanks ANKER!!

I just saw this battery on Ebay. The price is about 25 US Dollar. I am very interested in your results!
yea. doe the 100 mha more make that much of a diff?
NFC? does that work?
I don't see any reference to NFC on the packaging. But for a spare battery, it really doesn't matter. (I've never used NFC anyway.)
I'm hoping I get about 30 more minutes of screen time out of it. Time shall tell.
Anker batteries for the Galaxy s3 doesnt have NFC, yet!
i get about 2 hours of extra battery life with this battery.
So far so good at 50%.
Nice.any good links to vendors for this battery,I would like nav but I'm not using it yet anyway.

I've been using this battery for about a week now and it's a GREAT battery (minus not having nfc). For $8.99 on Amazon its an absolute steal and it holds a charge great.

Yes it does.
No NFC though.
I got a little over 7 hours of on screen time at 1%. Failed to get a screen capture though.
Will run it through a second cycle to see how that one goes.
Bought 2 for 16$ on Ebay. Probably only need 1, but I may just sell the extra off on craigs or something.
They'll jack up the price once word gets spread out anyway.
I too was contacted by laptop mate and received a trial Anker 2300mAh battery for my Galaxy S III.
I already own two Hyperion batteries, and compared to those, my Anker battery is fantastic! While I would estimate that the Hyperion battery gets around 60-70% of what my stock battery gets, my Anker battery gets battery life on par (if not slightly better) than my stock battery.
However, I have a couple of gripes with it... One of the plastic "tabs" that separate each of the 4 battery terminals broke off on one end. This makes it so that I have to be sure to make the plastic tab straight so that I can charge the battery while it's in my phone. Otherwise, it switches very rapidly between "charging" and "battery disconnected" (though it remains powered on). I'm not too sure how that happened, but that may have been when I was putting it on/taking it off of my Hyperion battery charger. Another gripe is that it doesn't have NFC. Then again I haven't even found an opportunity for me to use NFC besides the Paypass CC terminals (and Google wallet doesn't work on Verizon, so that's bunk anyway.)
I would definitely recommend the Anker battery, especially if they add NFC in the future. It gets great battery life on par with the stock Samsung Battery at a much lower cost, and if you can take one or two minor manufacturing defects (that are easily fixed) on the battery terminals, then there's no reason not to pick one up in my mind.
Well, I recently acquired a nice and shiny One S so I don't need the stuff I have from the old MyTouch.
I have 2 Anker batteries and wall charger, the battery cover and a slip over silicone case from T-Mobile.
I bought the batteries a couple months ago. They gave me a solid 8 hours of listening to music and over a day with light use. The back cover is peeling the matte coating from use but is other wise in damaged. I barely used the silicone case since it pulled out my pocket with the phone. Pics attached. Make an offer.

Not a chance in hell. It's gonna cost over $22 with shipping from LaptopMate on Amazon. The batteries were manufactured in May and I got them in July. They are nearly new.
$9 shipped thru pay pal will leave me with $2, not worth my time.

I mostly listen to music albeit on Apollo on my phone, and I have a long commute to school. He might be listening to music on Pandora or Tune-In however, now that I read it again.
I got 8 hours listening to music through Bluetooth. I would change batteries at my earliest convenience after the first default low charge warning. I think that is 15 or 20%. It could probably get 10 hours if I kept going with it. The batteries do last longer than the stock one.
I got rid of the stuff above, seeing that it would have not been worthwhile to pass them on here.
