Hi, I will soon receive my SGS II and I normally use 2-3 batteries for my current Nexus S to get by a single day. I'm wondering where can I buy SGS II battery and separate charger? I've searched everywhere but can't find one. Without extra battery my new SGS II will be kind of useless for me. I Know it has 1650 mah, but it just means I can get by with just one additional battery instead of two . Thanks.
usually stuff like battery's comes along a short while after a product has been released .

When you see what you have to do to get off the battery cover I predict you'll be wanting you go that less than three times in a day.

Get a powermonkey to keep your battery topped up. I've had one for years and has been a real life saver.

I personally would prefer a 3500mAh extended battery, like the ones available for SGS1 and HTC EVO. The price of these units is also reasonable.
cryptic, yes you are right, I have SGS II now for couple of days and removing the cover and putting it back on seems to be a pain in the A**. But looking at the battery life, it seems i'll be fine with one more battery and I'll just buy one more back cover should it break due to opening again and again which seems very likely.
tamas, I have been using extended batteries before and really loved it, but SGS II is the slimmest phone in the world, I don't want to make it look fatter and bulkier. I just like it being slim and very light. It may be even lighter then my Nexus S.
Don't worry about the back cover breaking or anything.

Yeah, there is always a tradeoff... The powermonkey and other similar solutions are even heavier and need more space. Right now I have a powerbank with 4xAA batteries, capable to charge any USB-powered unit - it serves well, especially if you want to charge different devices.
However it's ~300g and you have to hassle with the cable, which is not so easy e.g during trekking.

There are plenty of 3000-3500mAh batteries available for the SGS-1, let's hope they will come up very soon with SGS-2 compatible batteries.
P.S.: if anyone knows that one is available, please give a note here.
Weird. I got at least 20 hours out of a standard battery on the 9000.
Hopefully there will be a battery available soon, always prefer to have a spare on me, just in case...

I'll need one in about a month. There are great stuff on ebay for the SGS-1, such as 2x3500mAh batteries+cover in a bundle. I want something like that for my sgs2...
Finally it is now available on Ebay. Though I need just one extra with a charger, they include 3! All other sellers on ebay seems to be selling wrong battery.

That's still only 1650mAh=you have to turn off the phone and replace battery every time one is flat. I keep hunting for a 3000 or 3500mAh unit with back cover.

Nope, the one I am looking for is a big system battery, which needs a new back cover (~twice as thick as the original battery).
The phone gets thicker, but finally I can hike all day long using GPS with one charge and no hassle with external batteries/cables.
the officially Samsung battery pack is out wander how much thickness it will add :
"An official Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 accessory that fits to your Samsung Galaxy S II and provides additional power.
Essentially an extended battery, this power pack for the Samsung Galaxy S II has a 1300mAh capacity. Add this to the 1650mAh standard battery in the device already that gives 2950mAh. "......
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-power-pack-extended-battery
sorry mods if this been posted before, couldn't find it no where posted
Actually sounds good to me but how is it supposed to work, I mean how do you add the extended Battery? does it switch automatically or do you have to manually switch it when normal bat runs out of juice? Well I know u cant answer as dont have it either but what do u guys think?
And is this anywhere confirmed to be official, I mean I could sell "official" Samsung pee myself xD.
From my understanding if you can't turn it off it will kill the internal battery very fast because it will be constantly charging and recharging at 100%.
Does anyone have more information???
i was going to buy one of theys, but i decided to get a newteck 5000Mah battery pack for 20 quid instead, glad i got it instead.
Where U get this one from?
To my understanding the extended battery pack is kind of like a mobile charging dock.
When you put it on the phone, the phone goes to the charging mode.
I just ordered one. I hope it works like that, that I can keep the extended case in my bag and if running out of juice I just hit it in the place like putting it on a dock.
Of course I have to make sure that the extended case is also charged first.

I agree with Newtrent guy: http://www.newtrent.com
I don't want to put such a fugly case on the phone... So an external battery (Which isn't so big, 4 inch by 4 inch by 2 inch, slips in a pocket) connected to the phone is my "on the fly recharge" solution. I got the imp1000, 11000 mAh battery, charged my HD2 5 full times before needing to be recharged.

It actually increases the size to about the Dell Streak from what I see. The Tab is a little too big! haha
external battery is much better, get one which can charge multiple devices like notebooks etc. You'd only have to bring one external battery for both phone and notebook device needs
RE: killing the battery because of charging/recharging at 100%.... is this still true? Because I thought / heard somewhere that the newest generation lithium batteries are less prone to that kind of fragility. Over maybe a year... sure... but how fast is "fast" when talking about killing a battery by charging it on full charge?

I am actually now thinking about cancelling it and thinking about some other options to longer the batterylife in special needs.
I have dock at home and work so no worries here but then if have a long day at bar etc then I might need more juice on the road..
Hmm, any phone should shame if it wont make it a full day tho. Kinda makes me wonder why this sgs2 eats bats this fast.
Is this piece is available for purchase?
Am I the ONLY one who has one right now?

hey guys,
I just read an article about the Verizon extended battery + cover for the Nexus (it's OEM - i dont think i'd ever buy a 3rd party battery)
http://www.androidcentral.com/close-look-verizon-galaxy-nexus-extended-battery
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...s-extended-battery-2100mah-battery-cover.html
The 2100mAH seems like a good upgrade from our 1750mAH battery, but im more curious if this would fit in the GSM version? But then again, we would also need a cover as well, because i know the LTE dimensions are slightly different...
or has anyone heard of OEM extended battery coming to the GSM version?
If its a small sacrifice in thickness i'd probably jump on it
as long as it isn't a hunchback cover i will most likely get it. i'm all about extending battery life but those covers make the device very uncomfortable.
if its anything like the OEM extended battery for the Galaxy S2 , it should be very minimal difference in the back cover
You know the tiny "hump' at the bottom of your phone on the back?
I think the extended battery basically makes that uniform with the cover+battery, so there's no longer a hump but just a straight back
it might even feel better to grip
I will definitely be buying this. I was interested in the 2000mah one from Korea but this is even better. Hurry up and get announced for UK/EU!
Be aware that the i515 battery (VZW) is _wider_ than the i9250 (GSM) battery. In other words, you cannot interchange batteries between the Verizon LTE phone and GSM phones. It will not fit.
So that Verizon extended battery is only for the i515.

I stopped by the Verizon corporate store and was going to buy another battery, but it doesn't fit (not even close) I can confirm that it's a good bit shorter and wider than the gsm battery.

Now we need the Korean version, 2000 mAH Galaxy Nexus battery.
I hope that would be compatible with gsm version and available to purchase.
Keep in mind that the NFC is built into the battery. So if the extended batteries don't have NFC then your GN won't either while the extended battery is in it.

That should not be a concern. All of these batteries are factory Samsung batteries and clearly marked with NFC on them.

Most are, yes. But extended batteries tend to be third party and not something Samsung and other manufacturers tend to release. Just something extra to check before buying a new battery.

If it's an official extended battery from Samsung (like the 2000mAh for Galaxy SII), then it'll have NFC as the Galaxy Nexus has the NFC in the battery. Extended batteries from MUGEN is another thing but the announced 2000mAh (Korea) and the 2100 (Verizon) will be official Samsung stuff.

I'm wondering if any company has released a extended battery case or an extended battery for the galaxy s3
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-4500mAh-Extended-Battery-Smartphone/dp/B0082BYK8M
For my old phone, I had really a low battery and I never had a chance to charge it. I bought an extra battery, but i still had a low battery problem since the original one was almost dying. I had to buy an portable battery functions as extended battery. I used it all the time until i got a new phone. Not sure if you need a battery for galaxy s3 for now. But, this is the battery that I used for my old phon in case you might be interested in. http://www.spigen.com/etc-accesories-2/kuel-series/sgp-portable-mobile-battery-kuel-f60q-series.html
My galaxy nexus requires a battery with NFC antenna built in or you lose the NFC functions of the phone. Im guessing S3 needs it also.

when I bought my s3 last week they had genuine samsung batteries for sale for $39 ($AU) which is about the same in $US.
Given that it is easy to replace, and how much I will probably spend on cases and car mounts, an extended battery would have to be very good and cheap.

Hello everyone, by now i hope everyone knows the launch of Samsung Galaxy Note 2. And while i was going through its features, both hardware and software, it struck me, can we use the battery of galaxy note 2 for galaxy note 1. I was unable to get any ibformation regarding this so i planned to post a thread here, so that if at all anyone knows something about it, will let us all know about it too.
I am a happy galaxy note user. Pretty hapy with usage, camera, browsing, apps etc etc...but the one thing that annoys me is battery life. Continuous usage with wifi switched on, gives me just 3 to 4 hrs of usage and while i use data plan it hardly makes to 3 hrs.
So i wondered, if we can use the galaxy note2's battery for note 1, then we would have a giant 3100 mAmp battery for us.
I saw that galaxy note 2, is almost the same size of galaxy note 1, with a slight increase of height and decrease of width, but did not see the battery in any of the videos yet.

I highly doubt you could buy a Samsung Galaxy Note II battery and fit into your original Galaxy Note, but there are plenty of larger batteries out there from companies such as Anker.
You can always use a hammer....
Thanks for replying..
I was just willing to know if at all there is any chance for the battery of Galaxy Note 2 to fit in Note 1, because the thickness of Galaxy Note2 is even less when compared to Note1. But if at all it fits, I will be the most happiest person :laugh:

This board got spammed with a bunch of note 2 threads, and so for the time being they are not allowing new Note 2 threads.
You must just post onto the current note 2 sticky.
I am guessing that the reason the battery has 25% more capacity is because it is 25% longer, to match the increased length of the Note.
So I highly doubt Note 2 batteries will fit in the note 1. It's quite possible, however, that you can put Note 1 batteries in the Note 2 (with spacers) similar to how S2 batteries could be used in the Note 1. The battery contacts were in the same location.

People saying generally that it couldnt be possible for a battery of a different sammy phone to work on the note be advised:
the battery of the galaxy S worked for me on the note 1. with the help of cut q tips to help push the battery up cause its shorter, was a life saver!
Given the fact that no infos about the shape of the note 2 battery are available right now every answer here has to be considered a mere guess. But it's also completely irrelevant whether the note 2 battery works with the note or not since there are plenty of batteries with different capacities available. And most of them are certainly cheaper than an original note 2 battery which isn't even available yet.

If what you said is true, that battery of note2 bigger than note1, then, thats the end of my hope to have a genuine samsung LARGER battery for my note1 :silly:
But can anyone please let me know where can I find a battery of large capacity in Hyderabad/India that can fit in Note1 without changing the default back cover that come with the phone?
Now if we could also replace it with the Note"s II screen as well, and may be also the RAM too.
What about the CPU may be that can be changed as well.
Now come to think again do you think the Camera.....
Are you able to fit in your galaxy S2 battery into galaxy S3 ?
Should be the same answer my friend.
I guess we all have to wait to see whether we can make any adjustments to help fit the batery of Note2 in Note1, just like it was done for Galaxy S2's battery fitting in Galaxy Note. Or just to see how we cant do it
