Anker 1900mAh battery?

Hey guys browseing Amazon or GS2 accessories and I came across the Anker 1900mAh battery.
Now ive had the Anker 1900 on the Sensation and its legit a beast of a battery with extra juice, anyone used this for the GS2?

why not just wait a few weeks and buy the proper 2000mah battery??
iam sure samsung would have made a battery this size if possible rather then build extra back covers due to the 2000mah battery they have designed
basically i dont think anker could squeeze another 300mah into the battery at no extra size , its probably not what it says it is and i would go the official route , i have found all these cheap batterys to be useless in my times of owning mobile phones
to sum it up just buy the offical 2000mah battery from samsung or the bigger one from mugen if you want better battery life

look for anker 2300maH on ebay for $12-14 . buy it and make a review

tempted!
im very tempted. amazon uk has an offer for 2 and dockcharger and travel charger for £13. Even if its 80% of original battery i would be happy. But seems like a new release..not 1 review...
I would get the official samsung one but i have the perfect a leather, carbon fibre cases. would it fit in there? i don;t know...will i find an equivalent case that fits it...i don't no. If only if they had a demo version with new battery in a highstreet store i could try putting my case on,

ohh this make has had some reviews from same phone and different phones
im not advertising lol, just discussing reviews

probably not even half that capacity..

I try the anker battery and doesnt work for me. That battery is bad quality because I charged and when the phone was in 5% the screen staring flashing. The phone reboot when is in 5%. I return the battery and they gave me a refund.

Eug measured the capacity one of the spider foot batteries as 2413 mAh.
Even though it is well under the stated rating there is nothing that touches it for value. USD $10 for a 2413 mAh battery is a fantastic deal.

Go on expansys if you are in the UK...they have them for sale on their website

I ordered an anker battery set. should be here in one or two days will report back

I ordered it, nothing to complain but follow my feeling its not like 1900mha... same as 1650mha... one more thing universal usb travel charge need 8h to full charge( output 350mha+-50mha)
>>> with me, im using USB cable + universal usb travel and ..... im smell something from cable so i never do it again

so basically your saying its got the capacity of the OEM bettery?

Read some really good reviews in the sensation forum. I would try this but its hard to find a seller who ships to Brazil.

yes, i do but its my opinion

My experience will be subjective, but I've been using 1900mah Anker batteries for the last 2 weeks. They are OK. With original battery I get 12-13 hours when everything ON! With Anker approximately 16-17 hours.

is 3500 mah battery better than 1900 mah ? increasing number of mah is better or decreasing ?

More mAh is better. Just be aware that the 3500 mAh spider foot battery is actually about 2400 mAh. At $10 that's not really a problem though...

Has anyone tried one of these cheapo ebay extended batteries?

Found this extended battery on ebay, was wondering if anyone on here has tried it, i know it looks hideous, but if you know your making a trip somewhere it could come in handy if it works the way its supposed to. Its cheap as hell too.

9 bucks... can't be too great,
but what can you lose? lol

Seems to me that if the larger aftermarket brands have trouble meeting the stated mAh rating on their batteries, what more of unbranded ones that goes for an even lower value?
I also still have very clear memory on exploding phones from third party batteries years ago

I bought a cheapo 3800mah and it lasts barely longer than my stock extended battery. I wish samsung made an official 3800mah version

Buy 2 stock batteries and solder them together. Works great.
3500 real mah. I didn't think the 2000 extended batteries would fit under the cover from the Hyperion I had here. I agree though, if I can solder it up in an evening, Samsung certainly could work up something.

hopefully more phones in the future will be like the razr and give us a factory extended battery closer to 3000mah.

Razr maxx when I had it for a week was sick! Hard use all day, charged every other day, seriously insane battery life. If that phone ever gets bootloader unlocked, I would be all over it again.

Have you done this solder thing? Any tips?

if you look at the battery in the phone you can see that there is some space at the top of each terminal, use this space to solder a fine piece of copper wire to a second battery. make sure to solder the batteries in parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative, to retain the same voltage.
i remember taking apart a so called 3500mah battery from ebay and they were just two cheap 1500mah batteries tapped together. Apparently in china 1500X2 is 3500.

Why does everyone want extended batteries? 99% of people have access to a power cord most of the day and just don't need it. Granted, I'm new to the phone, but I really hope I don't need to carry around a huge battery or two. Personally I'd rather charge it more often. Just my own opinion.

I bought a 3600 mAh extended battery for a few dollars on ebay. Despite the fact that it makes my phone look like a beached whale, it totally got rid of my power shortage anxiety. My most useful ebay purchase so far..

Even If it's 1500 that's still 3000mah for less than $10. Pretty good deal.

As long as you know that I don't see a problem. Spend $10, use it for 6 months, buy another one. Much better than spending $100 for a mugen.
Even the Samsung batteries lose their capacity over time.

Samsung 2000mAh VS. Anker 1900mA

So I was thinking of buying an extended battery,
since i can barely last a day with the original one.
So what are thoughts?
Samsung 2000mAh OR Anker 1900mAh?
Or maybe another battery?*
Thank you
*Please no 100,000mAh chinese batteries..

It is more expensive than Anker battery but it gives more juice (20-25% more than stock) and many people say that the phone feels better in hand with some extra weight and thickness.

I also say go for the 2000mah by Samsung. There's a significant improvement in battery life. The larger battery also doesn't get as hot. and the phone's back is now flat.

Seriously, don't fall for that super mega over xxxmAh class A or whatever made from wherever. I'm having a great experience with the Samsung one, gives me additional 3 hours (at least) with heavy usage. I'm quoting one website that describes it "the S2 that should have been" which is true enough, at least from my experience.
I promise you, you won't regret adding some more off your pocket to get one... heck I even ordered it online and shipped it from abroad!

I am ordering it from abroad as well..
Know of any website that sells it for cheap?
Best I found is 40$+- with shipping*.
Thank you all

Is there any case that supports the.new ''fat'' cover?

Was it from an online shop or real one,because here in Bulgaria its 35 euro at least?

Most Romanian online shops have it at less than 20 euros, with a back cover included.

I got a pack of 2 ankers and a charger for 12 quid. Amazing.
Spent 3 days getting drunk on a scottish beach and still had battery , you can charge a battery and the phone at the same time and the batteries are small so carrying a spare is no big deal in my opinion. That way you're looking at 2 additional days charge.

Here is a link to ebay to a extended battery for galaxy s2.
Its 3500mAh and also comes with the battery cover.

I've had good luck with Anker batteries. No, I don't work for Anker or anything like that at all, just a satisfied customer. They make good quality batteries. I don't have any experience with Samsung batteries, so I can't comment on them.

How long does it take to charge this battery?

2000 mAh
Charge time for me is 1.5 - 2 hours.

Any standard size extended batteries with NFC yet?

I know there are the mega sized batteries that add extra bulk. Looking for extended batteries that are the same size as stock and with NFC.

Thanks! Pretty pricey for a 200mah increase but it's good to know we have options. I'll probably wait for a price drop though.

only 100mah more but they are decent batteries i had some for my gs2 but no NFC. Good if your going on a trip or something and need that extra battery, I didn't trust as long term though. I had gotten a 2 pack with a universal charger for like $20 for my gs2

Yea, I had an Anker battery for my EVO 3D and they're solid. Definitely want one with NFC though.

i am in the same boat but don't want to walk around with a brick with those 4000mah batteries. to me that defeats the purpose of this ultra thin phone. i keep an extra battery in car in case i need it.
i don't think you will find a decent capacity (say 2800-3000mah) battery without requiring a bulky extended back cover.. those that advertise this type of capacity are probably liars. i said it before, but if it were possible samsung would of increase capacity while keeping the same size.
sure you can get a 2200-2300mah battery that is the same size but it's pointless because the added time will only be like an additional 10-20 minutes compare to stock (that is of course if you even get the advertised capacity)..
battery technology needs improvement.. everyone is making better and better phones but battery technology is lacking and no on is investing money to improve them

Yep using this at the moment - NFC reception seems better on it - recognises a tag from a greater distance. Also, feels like it actually is providing 2300mAh

I read that those QCell batteries are fake. Supposedly if you peel back the sticker, they're really 2100mah.

Damn it. I wish I didn't listen and question this. The QCell I got does not have a label beneath their sticker or indication that it is 2100mah, but when peeling it back I tore the connector to the nfc. :'(

i bought 2 for the price of one plus came with a battery dock charger all for $20 delivered i thought i might aswell give it a go as cheap ass.But a day before receiving it i realised we had NFC in our battery which i didnt know and the batteries that i bought dont have NFC.
Can someone explain what nfc if used for and what will happen if use a battery without nfc?

How about you start by telling us where you go these batteries? As for NFC, it stands for Near Field Communications. It can be used in a way to pay for items, or bumping phones together to share information, such as pictures, contacts, etc. I am not a fan of it, I always have it turned off in my phone settings.

It does say on the sticker under the battery 2100mah so just wondering if running a 3200mah would be detrimental? or is it one of those things manufacturers do and have very large tolerances just to be on the safe side so as not have flaming s3 videos on youtube.

don't these cheap batteries pose a risk of leaking in the phone or something? Like what if the damage the phone!?

What, where did you hear that? The only thing I have seen people have to worry about with cheap batteries is how much of a charge they hold and how well they actually work. I have seen batteries malfunction due to ****ty car chargers before though but never just a battery fail while in a phone minus ghost stories from trolls on the internet.

mAh has nothing to do with the amount of current or voltage so I don't know what you mean by manufacturers having large tolerances?? And it wouldn't be detrimental, it would add to your battery life. (as long as the mAh claims are accurate)

these are surely too good to be true? 3200mah in a standard size?

yeah no need for a new back cover

Can anybody say something about how long does the phone works with this battery?

definitely need to get me one of these.

too good to be true
hey i just made some fast research on the seller of the item
i cant link the url apparently because i jus made the account but go ahead and check the ebay sellers' (utigertech) feedback. They are not good.
in short, this battery is fake and some user feedback states that it does not last even longer than the stock 2100mah samsung oem battery
so dont be fooled. If its too good to be true then its probably too good to be true

Testing of MPJ 3200mah Battery for S3
I have purchased one of the MPJ 3200 mah batteries for the Galaxy S3. I have bench tested the battery over 7 days with multiple charges and discharges.
The results are that the battery is approximately 2000 mah it does not even come close to 3200 mah. The sellor is being misleading on the mah and you are better off buying a standard battery as it has 2100 mah and NFC.
I will try and test a few more batteries in the next couple of weeks..

I'm amazed that so many people get sucked in by these fake batteries. There is no battery technology out there that lets you increase the capacity without increasing the size.
