I have never done a review before so any information I am lacking feel free to ask ^^
The batteries I bought where found here: amazon(DOT)com/dp/B00757ER00/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_ST1_dp_1
Model: Att siii - pebble blue 16gb
Network: 4g (non lte, the H stuff)
Wifi: off
Bluetooth: on
GPS: on
Brightness: auto
NFC: on
Rom: Cm10 beta
Kernal: stock
O/Uclock: stock
The batteries came in a small white box and the label on the batteries where upside down. The charger and packaging all felt cheap but it was to be expected for how much I paid. The initial charging of the battery (both) was about 2 hours until it was fully charged. I'm not sure what percent they came charged at as I forgot to check. My first charge (will post screens) lasted WAY longer then my OEM battery. I'm not sure if I have a bad battery or if these are just way better. Humorously enough the screen shots I am posting also include my alarm going off for over 4 hours strait... (Yeah it was going off at work and it took half the shift for them to figure out it was mine... lol :/)

What was the "screen on" time? Are these batteries 3.7 or 3.8 volts? Did you use the external charger?
Ordered mine yesterday. We will see how they do.

Yes i'd also love to know the screen on time seeing how thats the most important thing when looking at battery life.

I received mine last night. As the op states comes in a cheap white box. Batteries don't look like a premium battery due to a really really glossy sticker the battery is wrapped in. I posted some pictures just in case OP wants to include them..
I will also update my post later based on my review.
Side note: I discharged the battery until it died and charged it up over night with the phone off. When I turned the phone on it showed a 98% battery.

3.7 as stated above. My screen on time is a minimum of 4 hours daily just due to my commute to work. I'll drain the battery again today though for sure. I would assume it was around 5. I used the charger it came with.
Im just wondering where you guys are ordering from? Ive been looking all week, Amazon is the only seller I could find and they haven't had any inventory since I started looking 3 days ago

You have to keep looking because they always restock their inventory. They only sell on amazon. The first time I wanted to get mine they were sold out. I had to wait a few days before they were available again. As soon as they are available get them because they sell out quick.

i have one but not in an evo,i have an htc glacier and my battery las 2 h longer that the stok ****ty one
A few folks in the office here got them for the Evo's and one let me try it for a few days. HUGE improvement over the crap stock battery. I would definitely recommend it.

My friend ordered it but has not received it yet. I use the same brand in my Evo 3D and it's noticeably better than stock.
I replaced my original evo 4g battery that was over two years old with this one and I noticed a big differents in battery life. Also only payed $15 for 2 battery's and a wall charger off eBay.

I just posted a thread about these actually, I highly recommend, amazing batteries.
I've been using one of these (bought the 2 pack with charger) for roughly 6 months, and have been very pleased with it.
I can't confidently say that it is much better than a NEW stock battery, but considering my stock battery was over a year old, the Anker definitely improved my battery life, vs the stock old one.
I was hesitant about buying a non OEM battery, but I'm very pleased with mine, and for the cost was well worth it.
I have to +1 these being amazing batteries. Got mine for $13.99 on ebay with a desktop charger. I have gotten 24+ hours out of one charge. Highly recommend it!
I should be getting mine 2 pack with wall charger on monday. Can't wait!!!

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1700mAh...WGJO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1327823527&sr=8-3
Got it in today!!
The charger is interesting, it should fit just about any battery as the prongs will slide left and right, where ever the + and - is on the battery. Then also the bottom part that holds the battery is on a spring and you just pull down the length of the battery.
It charged one of the to 89% pretty fast, probably an hour. Had to take it off for a emergency call.
Ill be able to give a better test soon. I need a fresh flash of CM7 anyways, too much bog and FC's. Probably not good when the main process FC's.
I am still running the same battery that I took off the charger when I made that post. I am at 1 day and 3 hours with 30% left. I haven't really been making any calls, just some txts, most of it was me playing around and flashing different things to make my ICS experience better, using drew's P7. The battery went down fast from 89% till about 60%, but the other battery I got took about double the time to fully charger than with how long this battery has been in my phone. I am excited so far, looks very promising. I think this was a worthwhile purchase, simply for the wall charger, to charge any phone battery!
I'm getting pretty great results with these batteries. I haven't been using my phone too much and lots of idle time. I took a fresh battery off at midnight and went right to sleep. I slept most of the day. When I got up it was at 81 I think after 14 hours. I used my phone here and there for some texts and some small phone calls. I started installing lots of apps and played around with Widgets and settings, it popped down to 59 around that time. I installed juice defender also and I think it only went down a few notches all night till the morning. I haven't done much today besides a couple dozen texts a short and then 20 min call. I'm updating a bunch of apps right now while typing this, its lagging a bit so its slow and took me a few min and lost 1% but I'm also updating 11 apps at once
I am running drews P7, I have been running unvisible tweaks, but I just installed the nifty tweak zip and popped in a fresh battery, so this may be even better battery life now that I got juicedefender and the nifty tweaks. Cant wait to see! Im also thinking about running one of the KANG CM7 roms, as I already got about this with stock battery, I think it could last 3 days if I went back to CM7. God, I can't wait for CM9 and custom kernels!!
Here is what my current up time is.

I used one of these for my I9000 and was pleasantly surprised with it. I might just go for this one for my I9300.
It says it's 2400 mAh (which, if it's like the one for the SGS, is probably true).

Did you get it? How it is compared to original one? I used polarcell for SGS and very peased with the performance, but i am curious if in SGS 3 is doing the same . TKS
Gave up on it due to lack of NFC.
I`m using this battery from 2 weeks and its just great !
I have 1 week of usage (wifi from time to time,auto brightness,4 email auto sync and about one movie)

Have the battery from about a month.
I've got to admit it is nothing special ... from my experience it gives just a few more hours stand by time.
I'm using 2G mode / full sync and with the stock battery I got around 4 days of stand by time ... after change of battery it is something like 4 days and 6 hours stand by.
If you play with your phone or talk a lot you won't notice the extra mAh IMHO.

Ok maybe nothing special. I replaced my defective one in my SGS1, it's € 12,30 which is about 3 times cheaper than an original. But this battery is actually 1800 mAh and I get about a day extra standby in normal use and about half a day extra in heavy use. That's special enough for me and still going strong after 8 months.

Well, compared to the original it is only an increase of about 14%.. 2400 mAh instead of 2100 mAh, so you should not expect miracles to happen. It will certainly give you some extra hours, so you'll notice only a difference if you frequently need those few hours more.
I myself have a polarcell for my i9000 (sgs), which offers 20% more than the original and I must say, it really does make a difference!
I personally like most that there is a NFC version besides a version without NFC.
I was wondering about the performance of the NFC antenna, did anyone test this already?
A few weeks ago I purchased one of these Polarcell 2700mAh batteries.
It took a few cycles but now the battery life is amazing. Yesterday I had been texting and chatting on skype pretty much all day and I was surprised my battery wasn't empty yet so I went into the settings to check my screen on time.
My screen brightness was on auto and I don't have any apps like noled that keep the screen technically on but don't consume a lot of battery. All I did was use Skype and Gosmspro.
So if anyone is looking for a replacement battery, I can recommend the Polarcell 2700mAh..
Bravo. Although a stock battery can be as good as new.

Just bought one today for my galaxy s3 , i was confused about which battery to buy and how it would act.. I just saw your post now, so i feel that I did a good discussion :good:
screen shot
Could you please post screen shot of your About Phone with details of Rom/Kernel you're on? Thanks
Does it lose its charge in the next few weeks?
are these batteries the same dimension as the stock one? I mean, do I have to use a different back cover(bulky phone)?
@Octhellio which rom and kernel do you use ?
Been using a polarcell 2700 for a few months - and no matter what rom/kernel(both TW based or CM/PA/AOKP) I have been using - it holds its charge extremely well Worth the $$$
Great topic!
Do you know if the PolarCell is better than the MoTec?

I have search for reviews of Polarcell batteries, and found several happy users in many others phones.
So I bought two units on Ebay, one for my phone and one for my wife's phone.
I think it should be much better than these batteries from China...
Well, at least this seems to be made in Germany.

Are you using an AOSP based ROM or TW based? That's quite impressive is AOSP. I have 3 batteries and have my cellular signal off with brightness often at the lowest and get 4.5h maximum (batteries not too old).
Your android system usage is a lot lower than mine, what were you using it for?
Can you please weigh it compared to the standard battery?

A few minutes ago I purchased it too, delivery is scheduled between the 23rd and the 26th of this month: D
I'm charging the battery! How many hours must be under load?
After 42 days, finally my batteries has come! (It´s sadly live in Brazil because of dollar conversion and time to receive Ebay things)
I put it on my phone and tried to use the 58% of charge that is inside.
I played 3 games and really feel that the battery discharge much more slower than my older one.
After 2h18m of screen time, it has 28% left!
I used 2h18m games/internet/youtube and it only discharge 30% (it´s a record on my phone)
Buuuuuuuuuuuut, it´s only the first impression...
Today I will fully charge the phone and do some tests...
I come back soon with my impressions.
Best regards

Typical 9999 day warranty. I'd stay away. We all know these cheap Chinese electronics go bad on day 10,000.
instead of going for the cheapest go for the most vfm.anker external batteries.check em out on amazon.they tout the maximum capacity for a given price range.astro series;10000mah pack i am using currently.it comes with 18 months warranty.you may opt for the smaller ones too.
I have bad experiencing with those cheap battery packs. Usually they have a high capacity, but they still lose charge very quickly.
I had a 5500mAh battery pack for my Galaxy Nexus, which should be enough for charging it 3 times. The first 3 times it worked alright, but afterwards I was lucky to get one charge out of it. Still, one charge is of course always useful.
Can't be any more disappointing then my fluxmob bolt. Spend $60 and it'll charge about 30% of the battery.

Alright, gonna make this review based off one charge.
It arrived yesterday afternoon and I put it on the charger for 8 hours. It has three LEDs on the side that show how much remaining charge the unit has. I discharged my phone to 13% and rebooted then plugged this thing in. The phone thinks it's charging ac so the phone charged to 100% in about an hour and a half. The unit is blinking the final led now. So one full charge is expected.
I'm satisfied and if anyone has any questions let me know.

Nice review. Gonna pickup one myself now
Got pretty decent results with this. Getting around 100 charge. Also goes on AC mode which is good in getting the charge up quick
Yeah that's what I'm seeing. It's nice because normally about 6 hours into my shift I get down to around 14% then I plug into this bad boy and charge it back up before I head home and start the rest of my day.
Just leave the battery on the charger in my car then take it back into work the next day and start the whole thing over again

May not be necessary, some videos are reporting superb battery life. Easily one day with mid to heavy usage, and some reported it lasted 2 days w/light usage.

You're probably right,most mfgs have stepped up their game to ensure that we can get at least one "typical" days of use out of our phones before the need to recharge arises.
However,it's nice to simply swap out batteries when getting home from work/etc..... & doing the same when the next (work) day starts anew.
I prefer this vs leaving a phone on a charger,keeping that charging-generated heat away from the phone entirely.
i hope it comes with it, i loved my V10, but it ate batteries. Having a spare was practically a necessity
can I use my v10 battery charger to charge the V20 battery?

The batteries are different widths, but I could just take the door off.
just being cheap...guess I'll buy the NEW set.
I picked one of these up today, battery life wasn't lasting all day like I hoped but its a feature packed phone with a big a$$ screen and I can't put it down. Hate to have to tether it to a wall for charging plus the couple days of sitting in an airport coming up will make this back up battery well worth it.
I got 9 hours with 4.5 hours of talk time, and 4 hours of screen on time. I am happy with that result. I can see on the days I don't have a lot of phone/conference calls I can see the phone going 16+ hours and possibly 6 hours of SOT.
I will more than likely be buying on of these just for my busy days as a backup.
I'm curios why ebay is the only place to get these batteries.

i believe since the phone wasn't supposed to be released until the 28th here in the U.S., we won't see official lgusa accessories until sometime around then.

ebay is not the only place, many other places are available.
$59.75 after shipping? No thanks. Wait till lg comes out with it and hope for some deals. So I can buy like a 6 pack. Getting phones with swappable batteries these days is rare. And having a few extra if you plan on keeping more than 1-2 years or selling after a year or two really helps resale value so next person has a couple fresh batteries for their "new" toy. Might buy some more gnote4 batteries while I can. I have 3 new ones left and I just popped this one in about 3 months ago.
Can't wait until these are more readily available and at a much more reasonable price. Will be so nice to go back to the time when I could just pop a new battery in and not have to worry about charging my phone for days at a time.

May not be necessary, some videos are reporting superb battery life. Easily one day with mid to heavy usage, and some reported it lasted 2 days w/light usage.
I hope so, this phone looks like a beast!

Even if it lasted all day with heavy usage, I'd still use the user changeable battery pretty often. I swap when I am in the field, on loooong bike rides, on vacation, or after I leave work and just don't want to sit waiting for the thing to charge. I'm so happy LG kept this feature.
I'm really happy people are reporting good battery life though.
Batts are back on Amazon. 59.99 is a bit steep in my opinion, I don't need one that bad yet!!
