spare batteries anyone?

Seeing a few on eBay now but it's unclear what the capacity is. I'm wary of them anyway as I've had Chinese sellers send me the wrong battery for recent phones (check the listing, the battery described is often different from the one in the title!). Also I've had fake capacity batteries sent out - 800mah or less packed out to full capacity size with foam-rubber!
I'm hoping someone will make an extended capacity battery as it wouldn't need to stick out the back much as the i9100 is recessed anyway. There is an external battery pack available but it's just an additional battery that clips round the phone, not a replacement. Fugly too!
Ditto. Would love to score some batteries by next week since I'm going on a trip and won't always have access to an outlet. Especially since the battery drain is horrible.
Guess we're out of luck in the States since it'll take a while if shipped from UK
Looking at eBay I see a backup battery like this:
1900mAh Back-Up Battery For Samsung Galaxy S2 II i9100
Granted it is not an actual spare battery...for approx USD$10 it may be worth it to get it for some emergency juice for the phone.
Play have them on pre order. Apatantly they are in stock tomorrow

Do you have a link, as could not find them on play.com
Thanks
i had mugen power for my i9000 (HLI-Si9000XL) 3200mA was wondering if theres also for i9100
Been using this with a new battery I just bought and I must say it works fantastically. I no longer charge my phone with the usb cord. I think in the long run using an external charger prolongs battery life as in my observation the battery while on the external charger doesn't heat up.

I have the same thing. Works great. Red light when charging, Green light when battery is fully charged.
Love it.
^ You should keep the lid open while charging, although it doesn't generate heat but it never hurts to have more air.
I love this charger too, just waiting on my spare battery!
A few questions please.
1. Would the new samsung 2000mah battery fit in this? I mean does it have a few millimeters of extra space to accomodate a thicker battery?
2. And would an S2 in an otterbox case or casemate tough case fit in the cradle?
Thanks!

It definitely has lots of space to accommodate a thicker battery.
The cradle only fits the phone with super thin cases or without case.
It really is such a nice accessory. Since I got it I never need to worry about battery life since I bring or charge the spare while I'm using the phone.

The point is to use this accessory to charge spare batteries.

Has anyone found any cases with a built in battery? There are some pretty good ones for the iPhone and was wondering if our phone had any.

There's a few on amazon. I ordered the chromo battery case. All the battery cases have bad reviews because of overheating and not lasting long. I can confirm both are correct. The case is suppose to hold a 2100 MAH charge, but with a full charge it last for about an hour of charging (more or less). NOT WORTH IT.

What he said. Work bought me one of the extended battery cases. Its crap for protection, external battery is stated to have 3200mA but I don't see it. I came from the iPhone 4 with a 2800mA mophie case. If mophie is releasing a case, I would hold out for that. If mophie is true to form, the case will provide good protection WITH a reliable external battery.

I cannt upload image file in new topic. Use only jpeg files
Can you tell me step by step how to make it?
The last battery I got is from Batterybay.net for a 3000mAh battery with a thick stupid cover.
I found that they released a 4300mAh battery with a flip cover on it. You may give it a try. But the cover is really a bit stupid and thicken the phone.

If I was you, I'd buy a spare battery for now until mophie releases it. There are photos of it already but not release date has been given

It's depend on situation, if there little rascals, you better guard your thin phone or it will break into 2 pieces

Does anyone know if there is a slim version of an extended battery? I have the onite 4300mah extended battery and it last all day, but I don't like the fact that it's a lot heavier than the phone with the stock battery. I don't need that much power. Just something to get me an hour or two more out of my phone. Something a little higher than the 2100mah. Any thoughts? Also if this post already exist, please delete this one, I apologize if there is one I was unable to locate it.

Hm. im afraid not... You could always underclock your phone or root... but i seriously am blanking out i honestly think there is no "slim" version of the extended battery.
Well I mean instead of me having a 2100 mah is there somethin little higher capacity or does someone know of a website that sells extended battery doors. I have the onite extended battery and I might just stick with that but the back door broke for the phone and I don't know of anyone who sells a pebble blue extended battery cover.

You could get one of those samsung flip covers which is basically a battery cover and a screen cover

Was just wondering if you know if that battery will add any thickness to the phone. Also could you provide a link to the website? Thank you.

You can find a bunch on eBay. They even have 3000mah from china. I just bought 2 2800 from USA for like $15 they are the same physical size as stock battery. Just search i747 battery on eBay.
Are they NFC enabled like the stock battery is ?
Remember that on the GS3, NFC is built into the battery itself, not onto the phone.
Of course, if you don't need it...
i recently received my 2300 mAh Onite with NFC from Amazon.
so far, it's providing me with just a few more hours. which is all i needed anyways, and keeping the same battery cover.
i also have a CellularFactory 4500 mAh with NFC that provides me with 2 days of battery that i use when traveling.

No NFC but I personally don't use it much anyways

With the slim battery, how long is your screen time? I think with stock I can hit about 3 hours before I have to charge the phone.

Think these are just as good as the Official Samsung 2000mah ones? I was also wondering if they were any bigger than the stock one if anyone has these.
It'll fit without another battery cover, you'll just lose NFC.
Why though? Isn't the NFC card above the battery?

The NFC Antenna is in the actual battery. That's how they fit the extra power into the same size of the stock battery, they take out the NFC antenna and make the actual capacity bigger.
