Yes as long as you follow the instructions provided with the batteries and use the appropriate charger. (this goes for all batteries) and you can read the reviews in the forum and in the sellers site.

Am also using Anker 1900 mAh battery for Galaxy S II. Its good!

Adding to the question; Can you charge Anker batteries with the stock Samsung charger when you are using it or you have pull it out for charging? If yes, then same goes for USB charging from PC and any other suitable charger?

The Anker batteries can be charged in the phone from a wall charger or USB -- it just takes a little longer to get a full charge.

Isn't it just a USB power plug ?
If so it will be surelly faster than charging from your PC but I wouldn't pay 17 dollars for it. I mean, it's identical to the s2 orignal charger only with a removable usb cabble right ?
That looks like the charger for my old Captivate. My SGS2 charger does not look like that. OEM chargers should be faster than generic chargers because Samsung hardware doesn't allow the generic ones to charge as fast.
Yeah you are right but why they have called it a Rapid charger ????

It looks like a scam!
if you have your samsung original charger a custom kernel you might want to change the USB voltage settings while charging.
The problem with fast charging it is because it reduce the battery life. Its cool to charge the phone fully in no time but in short-mid term it is not something you should do
doesnt harm the phone or battery???

Not on short term.
But if you do that everyday the battery will suffer and will loose effective power.
Also if you force an higher usb port voltage on the phone make sure you dont use a computer usb port as electrical issues may occurs.

The sgs2 doesn't even use the oem at full capacity (1000Mah) it only chages @ 450 Mah because of samsung's software limiting the input. Use a custom kernel such as siyah to enable faster charging @ 650 Mah which speeds up the charging to about 2-3hrs

mate the best cure for slow charging times is a desktop charger and a spare battery you can even take it to the next level and get
2x 2000mah batteries
1x genuine samsung desktop battery charger/stand
thats what i do and its so nice not having to wait the 3+ hours it takes from empty to max , i abuse the phone , then just swap batterys and put the empty one on charge
seriously samsung gave us a removeable battery and a micro sd slot something thats getting rare these days in high end phones so grab a spare battery and a memory card and make the most of them lmao
edit
i spent approx £50 on batterys and a charger from amazon and its the best thing i done i literally never have to have my phone plugged in at all
Mate..how much time desktop charger takes for 2000mh battery ????

Recommend fast dual charger?

Im looking for a dock/charger that will charge my phone plus a spare battery including thicker extended batteries like my hyperion 4200.It would also be awesome if I could charge my phone with a case on it. I dont want a charger that will charge any slower than the stock charger. Can anyone recommend a dock ?
Griffin 2A chargers!

Thats a dock? where can i find it?
Unless you also root and install a kernel with a "fast charge" option, a 2amp charger will do you no good; it will charge just as fast as the stock 1amp charger.
I bought a 4 port charger by Skiva. It's a little expensive but it works really well. It's a 4A charger.

There was an article a while back by android central that the blackberry playbook charger will charge an android phone faster than the stock android charger. But it's not a dual charger.

I think most blackberry chargers are 1amp or above and samsung oem is like 750ma I believe...

3x batteries, charger, USB cord, car charger [$12.95]

So I was on eBay this morning and something stuck out at me. A deal for 3 batteries, and a car charger, and a wall charger.
Here's the catch, there's no NFC since it's not an OEM battery, but OEM batteries are 2100 MaH, these are 2900 MaH and still like the normal batteries meaning it should work with your normal case. Can't wait to get my batteries shipped though.

Oh sorry I didn't see the quote until now. They preform just as well stock honestly which is strange. Overall, good for the price and a good back up.

What's the largest mah battery that fits in the standard case?

I have searched but there's soo many battery threads i thought it'd be easier to just ask...
And any links to buying in the UK please
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yeah I am interested in opinions for best choice of battery, I have 2 and they are aging, one is a knockoff I suppose but held up great for a long time, now it drains while not in use so it is almost due time for a replacement!
There already was a thread exactly like this. The conclusion: OEM 2100 mah battery.

I got mine from ebay.
2 x 2450mAh batteries with desktop charger for less than USD20 (if I remember it correctly).
The batteries and charger are working fine.
