GS3 Extended Battery (4600 mAh)

Would anyone consider getting this battery? It'll more than double your battery life. Problem is how big is it and can you find a case/battery door that'll fit. And do you even need it considering you can get a good 24 hours out of it already. Thoughts?

that one is 4300mah and look how fat that case is

May be good
I'm not so sure the price is fare, but this is the only extended battery that I've seen with a voltage output the same as stock at 3.8v. All the others that I've seen are at 3.7v. Not even sure if it REALLY even matters that much. But I would feel better with my replacement battery being the same as stock. Just my opinion.

This is so stupid... if you need more juice, just buy more 1 battery, and it is 4200 mAh together, and its so much easyer for carryng!

EBay 2000mah battery

Has anyone bought one of the cheaper 2000mah batteries from eBay? Made my xpower or dste? I was wondering if they work and if there's a difference in battery life

They seem to last less or about the same as stock 1750 mah one . Buy 2000 mah OEM one it has NFC and it will give u extra couple hours .

All these higher capacity rated batteries are a joke, these companies that sell these batteries can't fit more capacity into the same sized battery, its just not possible.

Same seller but it includes a battery cover

I have purchased 3 of the 2000 mah XPower batteries! They work perfectly fine!! It gives me more life than the stock 1750 mah!
Also its the exact same size as that of the stock battery... So no worries abt an extra back door!
And I got 3 of them + the wall charger for the battery for less than $10 on ebay!!
So now i have totally 4 batteries - 3x2000 + 1x1750 = 7750 mah!!
Definitely worth it rather than holding a clunky phone with an extended 3000+ mah batteries!!

That's great to hear, thanks for sharing.
Do you happen to have a link to the eBay listing you bought it from? I can only find 2 batteries + charger for $10 shipped.

Thanks, I did see that one, although it comes out to $13 including shipping. I was hoping to find a $10 one that included shipping but I think that may be asking for too much So I'll probably just go for the 2 pack + charger for $10 shipped. That will give me 3 batteries total, which should be plenty of juice.
Anyways, I appreciate you taking the time to look. Thanks!

I'm not sure either, sacthegreat was the only person to respond and he/she said that these batteries did have more capacity. I think it would be very difficult to measure this anyway, since there isn't a direct measurement for mah in the phone. And because the difference in capacity is relatively small (~14%) I'm not sure how easy it is to notice in daily use; changes in how the phone is used could mask the capacity difference.
So I've made up my mind, I think that I'm going to try two different brands of batteries (+charger) and see if one is better than the other

The total comes out to $10 shipped, which is the same price as buying the two pack with charger. So hopefully this will increase the odds of getting at least one good battery

I totally missed the shipping in the link I gave, sorry as I had no intention of buying it and didnt realize shipping wasnt included. I would just get the 2 batteries as I dont think the extra 3rd battery is worth like 30% more but if you need a lot of battery, I guess you can go for it. I dont have any experience with this battery but do with Hyperions and those have worked great for me. I just keep the phone charged and make sure the spare is charged as well. If I did get a bundle with 3 batteries, I think it would be difficult to keep track of all of them and remember which one is charged and which isnt. I like the simplicity of one spare battery and the oem one

It's the stock size itself! And i got a little battery life than the stock battery on my phone! Not a big difference, but i could notice it!

Highest slim battery in the world for i9300? 2980mAh Battery X-Level

So I was going through eBay AU and I found this 2980mAh battery at 3.8V by a company called X-Level (not sure if it is by X-Level but this but check it out!) and I wanted to share this with you guys.
Here's the link -
I just ordered one and I'm going to check out if this does lasts longer than the stock battery 2100mAh at 3.8V. I'm also going to compare it to another 3rd party battery (with no brand, *l'll post link of this as well below) that is 2300 mAh battery at 3.7V. Has anyone tried this yet? I'm willing to post results as soon as I receive my battery.
*Here's the link to the other battery I mentioned above -

Share your results please :beer:

And oops, forgot to post the links to the batteries. Updated OP.

Anyone have any prior knowledge of the brand? For that price I doubt it's going to be good.

If anybody has experience with this, also chime in :good:

You'd think at some point people would quit falling for these scams, but I guess not. There's no magical battery technology out there that allows a manufacturer to pack more capacity in the same size space.

thank you for that information. if this battery is not what it claims to be, I'll ask this thread to be closed.

Companies have been working on better battery technology and it shouldn't be much longer before they start showing up for sale to consumers. That said, this isn't anything more than a cheap knockoff with a different label.

Completely forgot about this thread, my apologies. However after usage I can tell you that this may be a very good alternative to stock, cheaper, whilst offering similar performance. Definitely not 2980 mAh though, however it is not a terrible purchase for $10.
Also the battery seems to fall out very easy when you take the back cover off, it does not fit snugly.

Has anyone tried the 3200mah extended slim battery by sporting persistance? If so how does it perform?

I been using it for about a week. I think it's the perfect size to get a mid level user through the day. I still have to charge it at the end of the day, but on days that I don't really use my phone I think that it would make it a day and a half(I always charge my phone at night so I'm not sure).
Just to let you know ,I always have GPS on, when outside I usuall have my screen at full brightness, and I am currently using a Live wallpaper.
I'm am running Juice Defender for when the screen is off.
I do more surfing, checking emails, reading news and forum posts, than I do calling and texting. I also play some games from time to time.
I'm happy with the battery's performance so far. I only thing I worry about is the longevity of keeping charge over time. I've never heard of the brand before and it seems to be the only battery of this capacity while keeping the stock dimensions.

Does your NFC still work with the sporting battery?

I don't use NFC anymore, but I did test it, and it does work. The only reason I got the NFC version is because it had a larger mah than the non-NFC model.

Anyone else use the sporting battery with good results?

Honestly I doubt a random ebay battery is really 3200 mAh. Especially at stock size. That being said, it seems to be at least stock capacity, has working NFC, and hopefully at least decent quality control (unlike those Samsung "OEM" batteries on Amazon which are seriously hit or miss)

Is almost always a miss, we havn't seen advancements in batteries (lithium ion) in years so naturally size directly affect capacity.
That being said you can't have a larger capacity battery that is the same sized as OEM. And because these are most likely from unnamed brands, it's probably even worse than stock.

Extended battery with factory footprint?

Anyone know of a reputable extended battery that fits with the standard battery door? I don't need much more...maybe 4000mah or so would get it to go all day with how I use it. 6400 and 9000ish are way more than I need and I'm not interested in doubling (at least) the thickness of the phone. Saw one on some chinese website at 3500mah, but pretty sure I don't trust it. I have the zerolemon replacements and I swap out as I go, but I don't like carrying them with me. I like to travel light. Thanks.

Im curious to know this too.
Ive had bad experiences with buying extended, but similar to stock size batteries. They tend to actually be lower capacity than stock... cheap pieces of crap with false labels. (Ex: my old phone's battery was 1650mAh. I bought three different 2000mAh batteries over the phone's lifetime. One was actually 800mAh, one was 1000mAh, and one was something around 900mAh.)

How did you measure actual size? :angel:

3 ways.
First, there was the fact that my phone went from 8hrs of typical usage to only 4hrs with same usage patterns and ROM.
EDIT: I had a Hyperion battery and it actually only gave me 3hrs!!!!! I also had a Bluegate Kobe and it only gave me 4. The third battery was an EVO and it gave me about 6, but it wasn't as good as stock.
A second way was that I used an app to measure my mAh (don't have the app name right now. Not installed now and can't find it, but it's a popular one).
EDIT: The app was Battery Monitor Widget. I used the stock battery first to get a base mAh based on my actual usage over a week. Then used the 3rd party batteries and did the same. The 3rd party batteries came out to be FAR less mAh than stock.
The third way only applies to one of the batteries (EDIT: The Hyperion I had). I removed the label and printed on the actual battery under the label was the true mAh, which was half of what the label said. (The sticker said 2200mAh, but the battery said 1100mAh)
Plus all the labels were cheap stickers. The batteries looked more legit online than they dI'd in person. In person, they look homemade and felt lighter than the stock battery. (MUCH lighter).
EDIT: To be clear, all of this was with my old phone, a Galaxy S2.
Also, that Battery Monitor Widget app didn't seem to work with the OGP, which is why I don't have it installed still.

The standard one isn't an extended battery though. It has the same mAh as stock.
EDIT: and the other Zero Lemon (9300mAh) requires a special back cover and makes the phone too thick. Like PS Vita thick!
This forum was made by the OP because they were looking for an extended battery that can use the stock back cover. ;]

It makes me suspicious because if my past experiences and because my understanding of batteries is that higher mAh = more power.

" they claim it'll last longer than stock (3140mAh), but it's only 2100mAh."
That's one tip-off that there's something wrong here.
The other biggie is that they say the battery is FCC Approved. Which sounds real important, except, the FCC doesn't "approve" batteries in any way I've ever heard of.
The battery business is infamous for outright fakes, counterfeits, and junk. It isn't easy to get real prime-quality products at good prices. And the stuff from unknown vendors? Really, how many reports of battery fires and explosions does it take to make anyone worry about leaving a no-name battery or a no-name-source battery charging while you sleep?
I'd rather carry a hot-shot (USB battery) charger around "just in case".
