Hi!
I was wondering where I could buy even more batteries for my Galaxy S3.
I did find a battery on ebay for $7 (going to buy 3 or more), but was wondering where I could get it cheaper with free shipping.
I doubt it, but would like to check this forum first
Link on ebay for $7:

Thanks on beforehand,

That is really cheap. I also am going to guess that it is not full on OEM. The one I ordered was a little different. It said Samsung, but it wasn't. I haven't tried NFC yet.

As far as I can see, the battery doesn't have NFC included in that battery. I think the original battery with NFC cost about $30 if I'm not totally wrong?

I can't see ebay links at work. I was just guessing you were buying from someone like who I purchased from. If it is OEM it has to have NFC. I would go with Anker if I didn't want NFC. They make the best Non-OEM batteries that I've used, although I've heard good things from Hyperion too.
Avoid fake chinese crap
I'm looking for a real samsung battery too, but I wouldn't trust any seller on ebay claiming them to be genuine. Most are from china, and I'd have to guess 99.9% of those would be copies. Amazon lists one as genuine for $25, which sounds about right. but again, I have no clue. Personally I'd like to see and buy one in a local B&M store. unless I knew for a fact I'd be buying a real samsung battery.
I tried a "4200mah" chinese battery, twice as thick, new bigger battery door, etc... CRAP CRAP CRAP. Doesn't even last AS LONG as the factory 2100mah thin battery :crying: JUNK JUNK JUNK.
Today I got 3 batteries from ebay - bought for a very cheap price, less than 15$ in total.
The battery didn't fit properly, I found it hard to get the battery back out. It also said that the battery had NFC, but no.
Seems like it wasn't even Samsung battery, which I tought it was until I saw the label they'd glue to the battery, all the batteries also shared the same S/N: AA1C505BS/2-B.
I haven't been able to test out the actual battery lifetime on the cheap batteries, since I won't be using them anyway because I wan't NFC capabilities.
Stay away from cheap batteries, best way to get a quality product is to actually put some more bucks into the product. Get the "real thing" that works the way it's supposed to do.

Looks kinda ugly.
If you're not familiar with DealExtreme, be prepared to wait a month or more for your item - they all ship from China. But the shipping's built into the price.

Plus usually their stuff is not to bad..
This had me a little worried:
- Replaces your broken or damaged original palm pre battery
with most chinese batteries not even being 70% of their claimed mah, looks like alot of extra bulk for very little battery life. an extra 300-400mah MAYBE.
Looks like the same one sold by boxwave.com which is pretty good company. I've ordered stuff from boxwave before.

Well for getting batteries, i never deal with dealextreme, as its not reliable. I usually order my electronic accessories so as batteries with Chinabuye, reliable and well made quality. They are online store from China, i find i get all latest hitech gadgets and their accessories at best rate. My batteries working so far so good! Worth it!!
why are all the larger batteries LiPo?
after dealing with them in airsoft there is no way i would put one of these in my pocket.
and in the fact that they are cheap chinese batteries and you have a recipe for napalm to your genitals.
Any chance these are legit OEM batteries? Two OEM batteries for $16 seems too good to be true.

It is too good to be true. EBay is crawling with fake "OEM" batteries with a sticker that looks exactly the same as the real one. Makes it almost impossible to tell from a pic. If you want a "real" OEM battery, you need to get it from a known good seller. Shimshop on EBay sounds reliable from reports here. There's also Expansys, they likely have the real deal. The pricing I've seen is about $30/per for the real ones. Much cheaper and it's probably a fake.
i was thinking these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-OE...ccessories&hash=item2a18a7b669#ht_4442wt_1247
looks legit but who knows.
Also newegg had some but I don't see them now.
I've been using the bargain-basement eBay China batteries in everything from DSLRs to cell phones for like 7 years. They never work quite as well as OEM but at 10% of the price for 90% of the performance I don't care.

Its funny you posted this. I ordered 3 of them with charger and got them a few days ago. They are not OEM however they actually work pretty well. I sent seller email before i bought them and was told in his own words they are OEM samsung batteries.. I did this so when they were delivered i would have proof that seller was stating the fact they were OEM... I knew however for 14$ there was no way they would be real. This way when I contacted seller to complain i would have a leg to stand on. I sent him and email stating that they were fake and that I wanted to know what they were going to do about it and 1 hour later a paypal refund for the full amount was issued. These guys know they are selling fake stuff however unless you have a trained eye and know what you are looking for it would pass as an OEM product. For the price.... They are good batteries...lol.. To be honest i would have gladly paid the money if the seller would have come clean on the matter.. I will take pictures and post them when i get a chance..hope this helps....cheers
I took pic of all 3 with charger and a pic with a real OEM next to the eBay battery...can you tell the difference? lol... Oh and pics were taken with my Nexus so please excuse the quality...
The "original" ones on eBay IMO are fakes. Also the typeface used on the label definitely doesn't match the OEM battery that comes with the phone. I would avoid them and buy from a trusted vendor like Expansys or Handtec.
If you email the sellers of these real, but fake batteries, they will quickly say they made a mistake posting and the batteries are not genuine... I hate when sellers play games like that.
We should all mass-purchase these "original batteries" and demand refunds at the sellers expense, just to teach them a lesson. It's not right to knowingly scam the public.

Agreed. Usually you won't go wrong if the seller has included "genuine" in the listing. Be careful when they don't include that word. That's common ebay sense.

I go to Shenzhen and HK regularly, and I've been in the shanzhai/jiamao markets there and they have booths with blank batteries and the stickers that look almost exactly like all the major brands, they will make you up 100 or 50 or any qty you like on the spot. When they sell a counterfeit battery they always include a charger.....guess why? They caution you not to charge that counterfeit battery in your phone, it might explode or catch fire!
So they always sell the charger with the battery.
NO WAY would I put one of those P.O.S. in my phone.
They are tempting though.

Yeah ..i was pretty sure when I bought them that they were fakes so when I received them I was not so surprised.. I did however get 3 batteries and a charger for free..lol...They are actually pretty good...They don't heat up and seem to last as long as the original. They are about 90% as good as the OEM as far as discharge times. Overall I am quite happy with them...And for the price I can't go wrong..
Damn I wish I had seen this the only way I knew was that it was fake was the NFC didn't work.

I've been using ebay batteries in my G2 for a long time. For the price I'd say they are worth it. I had a 2200mah evo 4g battery from ebay in my G2 for over a year and I just recently had to replace it because it wasn't holding a charge quite as long as it used to. When I first got it, it would easily last a day, which was something the stock htc battery couldn't do. Now I have an extended 3500mah battery I paid only 6 dollars for and I can get 3 days off of a charge. I have a 2300mah battery on order for the nexus, I'll make a review thread and let you guys know how it does.
Anyone try one of these?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-1X-Gold...880555?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4167e42a6b
Made in Japan
Capacity: 2850mAh
Utra-high capacity battery
I'm guessing they are not 2850mah, but given the higher spec they could be closer to 2400mah. Price is a bit more than $8 (2x the el chepo generic ones w/ 2300mah). Less in a bundle of 2-3 w/ charger.
Another seller is listing a similar looking battery with 2430mah but for $15. Maybe the cheaper ones are the rejects.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-Hig...979491?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e6f290a63
Still no US sellers, so to be safe you could wait till a review or a US seller starts offering them (-> return if they aren't to spec). I took the plunge since I need some spare batteries and a charger.

+1 I always spend the extra cash to get a spare OEM battery. I understand people want to save money and for the most part those batteries arent bad but a lot of times they are not labeled correctly and arent the MaH's that they state they are and you are taking a chance. If you go with a cheap no name it's better to go with a better known no name like anker. But I dont think I would even put the battery you linked into my phone. Stop being cheap and just spend the 25-30 bucks for a OEM battery. After all it is a 600 phone. hehe Consider it like buying a Ferrari and putting cheap gas in it. haha

You need to know what your getting yourself into. Some give you 70-80% of an OEM one at 1/10th of the cost. I buy mine as a back-up when I can't charge (e.g. international air travel) or I'm in a rush. It is so convenient to have one of these in my bag and do a quick swap vs. charging. Been buying ebay batteries for years, some are crap, I normally buy 1-2 when I get my new phone for ~$10. Then wait for the US ones or a forum review where someone finds the correct seller who will give you 80-90% of an OEM at ~$5. The main downside is the lack of NFC, but I don't use that and if I needed it I would swap in the OEM battery.

It's all marketing. Chemically Gas is all the same and there is a standard for it.
Besides I don't have a $600 phone. I paid $220 (incl. tax). minus $120 from retention. minus $100 when I sell my (old free Vibrant). Psst, don't tell anyone, but I'm also doing 1% cashback and $xxx bonus for spending Y in 3 months. So technically I'm making money and should get another $100-150 in 2 years when I sell the S3. The extra batteries will increase it's resale value.
Call me a cheapskate.

Thank you. There is no way I would have found that thread.
I have both of them!
the 2430 mah is supposed to fit as standard OEM replacement, It a little too fat for standard cover, Have to push cover down hard, The 2850 mah is a replacement for the Samsung extended battery It fits extended case, but after testing both, neither one shows any improvement over stock batteries. I am running output and time tests on them both shortly....SAVE YOUR MONEY!
What is the largest and safest OEM battery for S3?
Does anybody know of any decent (and not extra expensive) extended (from about 4200 to 4500 mAh) Galaxy S3 (9300) batteries with NFC in Europe? From what I have seen Hyperion-US models have good reviews but the sellers on Amazon do not ship in EU (I also believe that is a very different company than the Hyperion company doing some stuff for radio controlled models in EU). QCell do ship to EU but it gets kind of expensive with shipping and VAT - and given the not-so-stellar reviews (and the cost of shipping back if the battery is bad) I am undecided :crying:

Kinda OT, but did you ever consider getting a spare same sized battery? Anker 2300mah (no nfc) ones go for like <9dollars on ebay. Bought 2 of them, they last as much as, if not slightly longer than the stock 2200mah samsung batteries. Just chuck one of them into ur jeans pocket/wallet/backpack etc.

Well, no NFC means I don't get an original feature only since the manufacturer was lazy and did not include a 5-cent component
And having 2 separate batteries is not a bad idea but a lot of the convenience is lost.
Also having to remove your case all the time and your back battery cover..... More chance of breaking something there.

Yes, that can also be a factor - and with the large batteries you often get the free back cover so many mechanical problems are "moved" to that back
It could be possible that it some how patent related, that third party producers cant build an replacement battery with integrated NFC.
Hmm ...

I would be a little surprised if that was the case - the patent might cover the NFC part itself, which battery 'assemblers" normally would buy from a larger maker that probably holds some rights in regard to that part.
That being said - for the original purpose of this thread I would be just fine with a Hyperion NFC being sold in Europe at a decent price

Mugen Power ships to Europe free of charge (I'm in Budapest at the moment and got myself a battery from them).
They have a 4600mAh battery with NFC which is on sale now (like 10% off), also they give additional 7% discount on Facebook

That is around 80$ which would become at least 100$ with shipping and VAT. With that kind of money I can get at least 4 Anker 4400 mAh, so somebody is trying to overcharge a little too much for a 5-cent extra

Here is your best bet. It's EZOPower 4000mAh w/NFC and it comes with Blue and White covers and Black and White extended cases -

Well I'm also looking for a extended battery in the UK best I have managed to find is the anken 4400 but that's shipped from abroad, I really want the Hyperion battery following it's reviews on here but I can't for the life of me find some one who will ship to the UK lol

Do anyone have such experience of using extended backup battery which does not need extra cover?
I've looked on Amazon and ebay and there only seems to be garbage knock off batteries with bad reviews. My phone battery is getting very unreliable after two and a half years. I'm sure there must be others who have replaced their battery by now. Any recommendation where to get a good one? Preferably a real oem one.
I can recommend rounded.com. it's a company from Netherlands. They're selling oem products with reasonable price. Little expensive than amazon but at least they are not selling fake ones. I bought a battery from there and works fine for me. No problem so far.
