Hyperion extended batteries now have NFC (and 4200mah) - Galaxy S III Accessories

Just thought I'd throw this out there. They now have NFC and claim an extra 200mah.
I ordered mine from Amazon.com and even though the description still doesn't list NFC or 4200mah, I got a pleasant surprise today.
I checked on ebay to see if it was a fluke and indeed they are all 4200mah and with NFC now.
If anyone is wondering, I'm only a few hours into charging it (they say charge for 12hrs the first time) and I don't have any NFC tags so I can't provide any test results at this time.
Brief summary for those new to the thread: I am able to get double the battery life of the stock battery. While this might be expected since it is 4200mah vs 2100mah, not all batteries live up to their claims. This one does.
The NFC on my first battery did not work well. It was there and did function, but was almost useless. My replacement battery, however, is amazing. It picks up NFC tags quicker than I imagined.
I'm very happy with my purchase. I can use the phone all day without having to worry about plugging in.

Yeah I saw those but I haven't decided if I want to get one yet.
BTW I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet but the phone weighs 175g (6.2oz) with the extended battery & door. With the factory battery & door it weighs 133g (4.7oz). Both figures are without a case.

I ordered mine from Amazon 3 days ago, I hope I get the new version too. That would be nice to have.

Not yet but I'm hoping Seidio comes out with one for their soon to be released extended battery, (actually Seidio does have a "surface case" coming out but they typically only protect the side and back kind of like a glorified battery cover) Maybe they will produce an "Active" or "Convert" extended case which is for heavy duty protection. I'll post more when I get more info.

I got the Hyperion battery off amazon and it does show 4200mAh. I tested the nfc and it does work.
Here is my battery states will post more photos after full test.

Thanks for the find and reviews. So how does the phone feel with the added bulk? Just ordered today off amazon as well as the black honeycomb tpu extended case. Hoping that it comes 4200 w/ NFC as it only stated 4000. I'll post back with another review. I figure the more reviews the more we can get a general feel for consistency of quality.

My first charge fully depleted a little while ago. It lasted from ~10AM Saturday to ~6PM Sunday (about 32 hours). Unfortunately I flashed an updated ROM in there which reset the battery stats so any screen shots would be meaningless.
I'm very happy with that time though for how much I used my phone. As long as team synergy doesn't release an update in the next couple days I'll be able to provide a screenshot next time
I've got some NFC tags coming soon so I can't wait to use those

I need one :cyclops:
But no one send it to Brazil

Mind posting pictures with the extended battery so we can get a feel for the size and what it looks like?

Does anybody know if the pebble blue package comes with the new battery?
-edit-
I decided to just go a head and order it. For 20 bucks I can take the gamble and just buy it another if this one doesn't have NFC.

Herrvare some photos if the battery and you case.

Galaxy S compatible 1800mah battery for $20

Hello there, Captivate people! Visitor from the Vibrant forums here. We found and tested an 1800mah battery that, while intended for the Epic Touch 4G, fits and works perfectly in the Galaxy S and all it's variants. I've personally tested it in a Samsung Fascinate and a Samsung Vibrant. The Fascinate was a tighter fit than the Vibrant, but the battery door closed just fine.
I've personally tested the battery over the past week and it lasts significantly longer than the default 1500mah battery (I'm a relatively new Vibrant user, so my battery is only a couple months old). The math seems to match up with the 1800mah claim. To be clear, this isn't as surprising as it would be if this were a random Chinese ebay battery. This battery is made by Samsung for the Epic Touch 4G. It's noticeably thicker than the stock Galaxy S battery, but not so thick that the battery door on the Vibrant and Fascinate won't close completely.
The battery can be found here:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28506
I spent quite a bit of time trying to find the best 3rd party battery for my phone, and lo and behold, the best one comes from Samsung itself.
If you'd like to read more than just my humble opinion, here is a link to the thread started in the Vibrant forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262035
Hope this information is helpful. Enjoy your Galaxy S!
has anyone tested to see if this fits in a captivate phone?
Great question. Anyone have any contacts at AT&T/Sprint/Verizon to see if we can do a test fit?
I love CM7 but it drains the battery fast. 1850 capacity would be great and a nice boost.

I think everyone bought these on Sunday. It will be Friday or Monday before you see a report.
Just received the battery from mobilecity. I was leaving my home as I saw the package, so no photos or long term report. Initial impressions though:
Most importantly, the phone works. I'm typing this on it. The battery came with a 45% charge, so normal.
The battery is a little thicker than the original, and a little heavier. The back cover is slightly tight fitting.
Will try charging in a little.

Thanks man, my captivate came with no battery, and now I know, from which seller I can buy a good replacement.
Thanks for the pictures. Let us know how this performs over the next few days.
Could we get images of the battery stats screen? Also, how tight is the battery door fit?
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda3.
Just knowing that it fits works and charges I'll be ordering one right now.
Purchased it with 2 day shipping for $10 extra. lol
Just got mine! It fits!
Here is the battery in the phone, plus attempts to show how little the battery size affects the back cover:
Basically, it's barely noticeable and is ever so slight. It just makes the latch a little bit harder to close, that's all.
Charging to 100% right now, will report on stats after it drains overnight and tomorrow.
really looking forward to your first results I hope you got your old results in mind and can calculate the % your battery life has increased;-)

@stormtroopercs screen shots are not fake , 15$ is not that expensive for a I9100 owner, buy it and give us your review. (maybe i was lucky with the battery!)
i made battery calibration when i started using the Extended Battery.
(in average) i charge the phone almost after every 3 days.
@andreasS2 i don't trust non-original cheap items too, but the price + the 3200mha + the seller Positive feedback + the seller Exchange and Refund Guarantees made me to try this battery!
i don't regret buying it!

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
itll be fine for a few months and last a bit longer then the original one , then over time (a few months) the cells will die and the battery will become weaker and last less then the original
you will also find that even though the battery says 3500mah on it you wont get double the time for exampe if you get 4 hours video with the stock you wont get 8 hours video with this new battery as it probably isnt even 3500mah
i dont know how much you spent but you can get the original samsung 2000mah battery for £17 in the uk which is much better value
i think that the original 2000 mha is enough to complete a workly day as well as the phone with extended batteries loses his beaty....this is my opinion

REVIEW: Anker Battery 4400mah Extended Battery w/Cover

Hey fellas,
Ive been lucky enough for Anker to send me a 4400mah battery to test and review for you guys. I've used their batteries ever since the Sensation days and I actually have a 2200mah anker for a spare on the S3. They sent me a Pebble Blue back cover as they do not produce the white one yet. I have a two toned S3 hahah. I just wanted to post pics to give you guys an idea. I will be draing the battery today as it came with 57% out of the box. I will give it its first run tomorrow during my work day. Here are the pics, I will be posting 1st run results tomorrow then for the next few days after that. These batteries usually get better after a few cycles. The phone feels good in the hand, not too big. I just ordered one of those TPU extended battery cases to protect the phone while I am using the Extended Anker. Stay tune for some numbers and updates! Thanks!
Im supposed to get one too for reviewing. But you beat me to it
Sent from my SGH-T999
Forgot to add that it does not say NFC anywhere on the battery. I did go into settings and the NFC box still could be checked. I don't know if this battery has it as I do not use NFC. I'll contact Anker to make sure.

Do you know how much thicker this makes the phone ? I am wondering what kind of case would fit this and also if it would still fit in a car holder.

Not quite... the Korean market S3 (SHV-E210) uses a different battery than the international / US version. Also the Korean market Samsung Flip Cover will not fit properly on the international / US version. The curvature or thickness of the units are ever so slightly different, so the back plate will not click securely into place on the international / US handset.
But if you don't include the Korean S3 model, then I believe you'd basically be correct.
It probably doesn't affect most people on this forum, but it's a significant exception to the rule that should be noted.

Trident Electra Case for Galaxy s3

So I've been using this case for about 3 days now...and its awesome

The case is pretty much a Kraken case with a battery built into the back. The battery is 2000mah.
With medium usage yesterday it stayed at 100% from 7am to about 1030pm (with using the trident battery along with the Samsung battery)
It is a bulky case..its alittle bigger than a Kraken case, but it feels stronger than a Kraken case. I dropped it afew times and it never split apart like the Kraken did..so they might of fixed this issue.
So ya..figured I'd put this on here since I didn't see anyone else talk about this yet. Atleast when I searched for it I didn't see anything about it.
By the way I got mine on Amazon for $45 with free shipping so you can find it cheaper than the $70 asking price. :good:
Case looks awesome. Looks better than the kraken. I love trident products. If it weren't for purchasing the Samsung 3000mah battery I would totally picked up this case.

Well, I finally got mine and in short I'd say this case is good but not great. I'll start with the Cons First
1. The Rubberized case that comes with it is quite loose fitting so it slips off pretty easy.
2. The case is large for only a 2000mah battery, I feel that they probably could of used a higher cap battery.
3. ***This may only be mine*** The bottom snaps dont stay together all the time which worries me because if they are not snapped properly then the stress of holding the bottom of the case together is on the usb port.
Pros
1, You can use the rubberized case as a stand alone case (although I wouldnt)
2. It comes with a belt clip (again I wont use it, but its nice to have)
3. Comes with screen protection
4. When its all together its fairly rugged
5. It has the ability to select what you charge first when its plugged in (the phone or the case) and when one is charged, it starts charging the other.
6. Price, I found mine for only $45 shipped. Retail is $70 though.
I'll try and post some pictures later.

You're not the only one. My case does the same thing. It's almost as if the rubber inner case is too big for the design on the bottom side of the case. I just sent an e-mail to Trident's Customer Service explaining the issue...I'm hopeful for a reply.
I did the same, lol.
I got mine today after leading a Harlem Shake video at a sales training course. After misreading the instructions, I finally got it working.
It's taking some time to get used to the size, but it's an awesome case. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

FYI...got an e-mail from Trident Customer Service. They're exchanging my case for a new one...it's being shipped and I have an RMA.
If this second one still has the same issue, I'm going to ask for an exchange to a standard Kraken and refund for the difference.

I'm just worried about the fitment and how the white case will age.
Just ordered it in white. I'll take some pics and do a short review when it arrives. Estimated delivery is this Thursday.
It would be amazing to have that much battery, but I don't want to lose the Qi charging. I use Qi at home each night or at work if I skip the night charge.
If there was an extended battery that came with a replacement door with Qi built in, I would likely jump all over it.

I could probably retrofit the charging coils from the folio cover to the back of the Zero Lemon case but that would take forever to charge. Does anyone know how long it takes to charge the stock 3140mah battery from dead to 100% using Qi?
Mine finally came in the mail after 4 business days. My initial impressions are that the phone is pretty big now and the extra heft makes it even harder to wrap your hand around the device for one handed use but it's doable. The buttons are very easy to press with the included case wrapping the phone which is a relief, however the case itself seems to have a slightly too loose fit for my taste. I just got done charging the phone up from about 65% to 100% (which took around 1:45). I know the manual, back of the battery and the included business / please rate us 5 stars on Amazon card (which all came in a nice zip-lock type bag inside a bubble padded envelope) say to charge the device for 5+ hours but It's been at 100% for 45 minutes now and the voltage has steadied around 4.3V. I'll be sure to update this post after I get some test data.

For anyone following this I posted updates on the thread over on android central. Got about 9 hours of screen time and just under 2 days off the first charge.

I'm surprised no one talks about the weight of the battery because the without it is so light
I wonder we can gain lightness by changing the battery
I also would have bought the battery if it could charge wirelessly. I love being able to just drop it on my nightstand at night and when I am in my office just set it down to charge.
Mines should arrive tomorrow. Anxious to get these charge cycles going. Also ordered a leather holster case that's super sized and should fit this phone with its extended battery.
Can someone post a comparison pix of stock thickness vs. One with extended zero lemon battery?

Its huge..lol but I expected that. I had the 7200mAh one for Galaxy S3. So I'm use to the extra weight & thickness.
The tradeoff will be worth it. Ive barely used my galaxy note 10.1 since I got this phone. Or my Nexus7. Its really like a mini tablet. Last night I ordered me some HD screen protectors & a universal camera lens kit(fish eye, macro, wide angle).
It arrived today! I like the black tpu case it came with. Plus I like the extra weight. It feels more secure now and not slippery. For my type of heavy usage, this battery is exactly what I needed. Time to charge this up.
