Best stock size battery

Exactly as the title suggests I'm looking for everyone's opinion on the best stock size battery for the Note. I've been using the Mugen battery but at times the bulk seems too much and I'm interested in trying something stock size that gets me at least a little better than stock battery performance.
Thoughts, opinions, experiences?

it is too expensive? any cheap battery for extend battery life of galaxy Note

I use the "golden battery", the sticker on it says 3250 mAh.. and that power stays at the sticker. It is roughly as good or just a tiny bit better than stock battery.
I get 3 hours 10 minutes maybe 20 minutes less or more each day of screen time on weekdays with stock battery. Let's use this as a standard for me.
With gold battery I get 3 hours and 40 minutes with a variation of 30 minutes more or less.
So it doesn't last 30% more as the sticker suggests.. but meh it lasts as much or a little bit more so I am not bothered with a 15 doller battery I can carry in my wallet as a backup

Do explain why it should be crap? Isn't it known that with most products you pay partially for the "brand name"

Anker cost 20$ for pair of battery's and a charger or 10$ for single battery... Not that expensive but you have most XDA behind it saying it's a good company

I got a 2700mAh Anker off Amazon that BMW Pro is now estimating to be 2983mAh
Maybe I'm using BMW Pro wrong...
Also, it seems to handle charge/discharge better, it doesn't get as hot as stock under load.
Sent from my BBP

I was thinking about it, and it seems plausible that the best stock sized battery for this phone at this moment would be a 2700mah one. If you look at it, the Mugen 5400mah extended battery is just 2, 2700mah batteries linked together.
Until a revolution in batteries is made, I don't think we'll get a stock sized one with a better mileage .

different capacity with stock size battery
It's mean the concentration become higher...

just wondering.
you know the anker charger that comes with the bundle if you buy 2 anker 2700 batteries?
does it charge the stock battery as well?
im assuming it does cuz the batteries are the same size (right?)
just wanting to make sure.
cheers.

Received 4300 and 4800 mAh battery

Now I'm testing this battery. Original thread in this forum (spanish) http://www.todoradares.com/foro/bater-4300-mah-samung-galaxy-t22247.html
At the moment I have not done any charge.
After the first full charge and discharge I will upload screenshots from battery reports.
At the moment, usage is 15h and 9 minutes (normal usage) and consumed 46%
Stock ALF2 rom and cf-root.
Of course, nfc is not available
Now pics:

Extended Battery
The battery seems to be quite bulky. How much did u bought it for?

Ebay 12,99 euro
Yeah it's a bit bulky
I'm using a 3600 battery replacement in my old x10 with feralab rom and the battery usage is 5 days powering off phone at night.

wow that's big..

Yes, but believe me. It's more easier to hold the phone now with one hand.
Sorry, I like more a better battery than design.
At the moment. Battery stays at 3% from two hours ago, using opera mobile with H+.
Needs a little calibration

How much will battery life improve over stock battery?

Does that battery fit inside the SGS3 just like the normal battery? It seems too bulky to fit inside with the cover. If it fits correctly then maybe I will buy one.

No. As you can see in pictures, this battery is more bigger than original battery and needs a bigger cover.
But only for the rear cover. The battery fits correctly in his place.

Can you post measurements of the battery? (ie depth of battery and depth of phone with battery inserted).
The only reason I ask is because I ordered a 3600mAh version from ebay (thought it might be a bit slimer, for all it's worth... ;-) ) and the pictures used show some measurements.
See this url for an example:
**** sorry - can't post external links yet - not enough posts... ****
Search for "Galaxy s3 3600mah" in ebay and you'll find a few posts - the user I bought from is called "hightechhk-com"
(h**p://***.ebay.co.uk/itm/3600mAh-Extended-Battery-White-Door-Cover-for-Samsung-i9300-Galaxy-S3-III-New-/261045894976?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cc78c3f40)
From quick observation they look very similar.
Also, how doea the back cover fit? Doubt it's up to the quality of the original (or is it?)
As soon as mine arrives i'll let you know how they perform.
Cheers

Good stuff. Please do a comparison step by step to the original one, as in exactly the same daily use and turn off at night if you do with both. Its interesting, I wouldn't buy it myself but I always wonder if these batteries are not that well made than original.
sent with WSGS3

Now, I can't. I'm testing it now. After first full charge I will post screenshots from battery stats. It's too early to say anything.
Please, be patient. Thank you.
I know that these batteries are made with a lower quality. But i'm sure that these batteries doesn't break your phone (tested in x10). I've heard something about gold batteries, but this battery is not a gold manufactured battery. It's from another manufacturer.

Good stuff. Let us know how you get on

Quality 3000 mah batteries? (Need something under 4000)

Has anyone found any 3000mah or so batteries? Quality ones I mean. I wouldn't mind something larger than the 2100 but anything over 4000 just ruins the look of this phone. I don't even require NFC. Just something that gives close to the stated capacity. If Mugen, Seidio, Anker, or Hyperion made something in this range I'd jump on it immediately.
You see, I like modding OB Defender cases to work with extended batteries and I just don't see any way a 4000+ battery will work with the OB Defender for our phones.

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:

Will do.
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.

Toshiba (if i were not mistaken) has now made batteries that has capacities of like 5200mah in a regular sized 2200mah battery. Meaning more juice in smaller pack.

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.

Largest battery (mAh) that will fit the standard S III case?

I'm looking for an extended life battery and would prefer if it fits in my S III without a custom back cover.
Does anyone know the largest mAh battery that will fit with the standard case?

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.
