Hey Guys.
So I got a little idea from reading this thread.
If you were like me, and bought a spare stock official Samsung battery, but have no way to charge it other than charging one battery fully and then swapping the batteries out to charge the other one.
Now c'mon. That takes time, especially if you know you're going to be out all day, and know you're not going to have enough time to charge both batteries before you leave.
Well, since the T-Mobile SGS2's batteries fit in our phone (the LTE Galaxy Nexus, sorry GSM users!), why wouldn't our battery fit in the T-Mo SGS2's spare battery charging dock?
So I went to this fine link here and snatched one up for pretty much half the price of a retail one off Amazon or straight from Samsung.
Now you might be wondering, "it's probably a knock off" or "it's probably an international one".
The dock comes from Korea. Also, the seller messages you asking which dock you would like, either the one for the i9100 or the T989. You'll want them to ship the T989 one.
Now if you think this will be useful, I'd buy it if I were you. But be patient, because it'll take about 2 weeks on account of you know, it's coming from Korea, right? lol
But all kidding aside, it works great and the battery fits just like it should.
the only downside is that it doesn't come with the Micro-USB Y splitter cable so you can charge your phone and spare battery at the same time.
So you can snag one of those off Amazon too for a few bucks here.
Hope you guys find this helpful!
Oh and here are some pictures!

Hi,
just saw that on ebay(http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Genuine-E...sAccessories_PDABatteries?hash=item3a5330dbc1) -->it seems that this store is selling genuine 3800mah batteries at a great price! Too bad, they don't ship worldwide!!
Anyone has purchased from them and test the battery yet?

Bought one about two weeks ago and charged it up last Wednesday (4th Nov) and have used it on and off over the last week or so on a daily basis and still indicating 78% full....I don`t use it much admitedly but it seems to perform very well and tempted to get another one..
Clive
you are fortunate to be able to buy one! I'm sure if the seller did ship worldwide, many people from this forum would purchase it!! Unfortunately, he seems to be the only one selling this genuine battery on ebay

I wouldn´t buy such a big battery!
Universal is big enough to make it even more
I prefer to have 2 original batteries
Mine now has 3 years of continuous power... I just find it really hard to hide the battery pack without people commenting
- but on the plus side, I have been able to jump-start peoples cars with this cold weather coming in!

Has anyone seen one of these anywhere? i was in a sprint store the other day and they had one for the epic4g, but the usb was on the other side.
Some online stores are reporting the last week of October but who knows really?

Anyone know if the Fascinate's will fit for the Captivate? On the Verizon Wireless site it is $10 cheaper than on Samsung's site. They have a bunch of accessories for the Fascinate including a 2200mAh extended life battery...The Captivate has crap for accessories.
Try and see if they have the dock at a Verizon store to test it.
This is on the Samsung site...

Yeah thats what i am waiting for, I like the clean look of having a dock rather than just sitting on my desk with loose wires..
this might be old news, but I purchased one these from the AndroidAndMe site. Still says they are in stock.

Dock won't likely fit. battery, if it's the same size as the stock battery, will fit.
I dunno if this has been asked before im sure it has but i just can't find it...... Will the verizon extended 2100 battery work on my gsm nexus ? just wanna be sure before i order it and stay stuck with a battery that doesn't do me any good...... Thanks in advanced

Ok another question...... I misplaced my battery yesterday i already ordered the extended battery from the link..... But where can i go buy a regular battery till the new one arrives doesn't have to fit perfect i just want the phone to turn on till the new one arrives...... Im clueless where to go look for a replacement battery since tmobile doesn't carry this phone and the verizon battery is different than this one
Heard the T-Mobile galaxy s blaze battery fits. Give that a shot.

I ordered my genuine oem replacement from Handtec because I couldn't find any in USA at the time. Even with Fedex shipping and rate conversion it wasn't bad and it sure beats getting stuck with an "original" oem battery from eBay which are mostly fakes. Shimshop sells genuine batteries, but I would stay away from other sellers who are selling them for cheap because they're not legit.
yea i placed the order for the extended 2000mh with oem cover came out to $38 but since it comes from SAMSUNG, Korea, South takes 12-24 days to arrive..... so i just ordered a cheap battery from amazon and deal with it till the samsung one comes in......
Opened up one of these batteries you can find on ebay and Amazon for anywhere between 3 to 6 pounds. I can't remember the exact weight but it was lighter than my stock battery by 15-25%. It's performance was worse than stock by quite a long way (I can usually last 2 days but even after running this battery a couple cycles, I still couldn't last a day on it 0800-1500).

Strange writing. Chaonian, Samsung I9000 and 983. Strange because I9000 is the code for the Samsung Galaxy S.
Overall, this is an all-right battery if you are going to pay only a couple pounds for an emergency battery to keep in a car or wallet (or other hostile environment where you don't care about the health of the battery). It is safe and wont explode.
If you want a proper replacement, go for an Anker (usually only £10) or some of the gold batteries.

I have i9000 one for captivate and though it's not actually 2430mah it's at least 1800mah. Maybe 2000mah, but probably not. So for $8, few day shipping, and external charger it was definitely nice

Batteries aren't meant to be nice to look at but this one is.
PROS:
Same form factor as the OEM battery, no need for a different back cover.
Advertises 5% more milliamp-hours and seems to last at least as long as OEM.
Great price.
CONS:
Like other non-OEM batteries, this one lacks NFC. If you plan to use Google Wallet or Isis, you might find this unacceptable.
If you have OCD, you may also find it difficult to digest that the battery label is upside-down when you put it in your phone.
It's important to understand that this battery is not a crazy 4200mAh monster. You shouldn't be expecting anything incredible. The Galaxy S3 has an amazing stock battery, but if you need an inexpensive replacement or spare, this battery is great. I imagine it would help on long trips without a charger or during hot-swaps when you're plugged in.
I'll write a more thorough review with battery graphs when I have a free moment away from my masters thesis, but this should be fine for now D:
I love them! I got 2 of them with the wall charger... Had them 8 months and going strong.
