I prefer stock battery. If you want that extra 100mAh, you could try Anker battery for SIII
if you dont car about price id say:
Mugen

Sedio
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-3500-extended-battery-nfc-p/bacy35ssgs3n-bk.htm
or you could make your own Samsung extended battery if your handy.

you should give us a bit more info on your preference to help you better. if you dont mind changing batteries out throughout the day you could just grab a 2nd OEM Samsung batt and be good?
or if you want the best slim battery? etc...
So Mugen Power is the best, Right ?
Do you want a slim battery or and extended battery?

has anyone checked out the 3250 mah battery? just search "3250 samsung galaxy s3" on ebay. sorry i can't post links atm. It doesnt come with a battery door cover so i don't think it will add any bulk
Hey over there,
I've tested Mugen, Seidio, Acase, qCell, and many, many more on the original Galaxy S (Epic for Sprint,) the Fascinate (Galaxy S for Verizon,) Epic Touch 4g (Galaxy S2 for Sprint,) and have been toying around with the S3 for Sprint and some friends' phones for about a month.
I'd say you have really two choices... drop the big money and buy ONE Mugen or Seidio, or just buy a couple qCell batteries. Of the five/six qCells I have used and/or tested on my friends' phones, I'd have to say that only one varied in charge capacity from 10-20% of the advertised charge capacity (4200mAH)... and that was after two months of usage that was inconsistent.
For $20 and standard Amazon Prime shipping, I'd just buy two qCells and call it a day. Even after a month of daily or every-other-day full charging, I have not noticed a "memory effect," (yes, Lithium Ion batteries have a memory effect and anybody who tells you otherwise can't spell "hysteresis").
Why buy two? First off, you're going to NEED TWO if you do deep fieldwork in urban environments like I do. There are some nights where I'm sleeping in a gutter in the middle of no where and have to have my phone on 4G to upload ethnographic observations. There are some days I will *not* have access to an electrical outlet, have to use 4G, data transfer, TeleNav, Google Maps, video capture software, sketching software, and a bunch of other *&#^ at the same time, and if you think for a SECOND that having two standard batteries is going to be enough, then you're insane. You need at *least* one, 4000mAH battery with a modern smart phone if you're going to be using these services HARD ALL DAY, and easily two after you've broken the batteries in for a few months.
(Ever try running from a crackhead in the South end of Chicago while changing your battery since you need to dial your primary investigator and tell him that you may not make it back to publish your thesis due to a massive stab wound? Yeah, that's what I thought).
Also, as a word of caution... remember... a lithium ion battery is like a horse's stomach:
1. It needs to be filled often.
2. It needs to be emptied often.
3. If it's used hard (aka extremely warm,) you need to give it a little break (let it cool down ~10 degrees F) before filling it again.
4. When you get a new one, always remember to establish a consistent feeding pattern for a while, (aka always completely empty and completely fill a new battery 10-20 times before you start charging it while half full or while the phone is on).
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN

How much "screen on time" are you getting on that Rom? Screen on time is what matters. Anybody can make their phone last 20 hours with the way the usage & functions are being managed.
I prefer the stock battery, I personally don't like the larger battery because I bought my S3 for the slimness.
I'm running stock battery and cm10 milestone 1 and average well over 4 hours of screen time!

Innocell 3800mAh Super Extended Life Battery
I have used Seido Cells with G1's before and they were still running just like new after 18 months of heavy usage, twice the battery life over stock. The case looked better on the G1 as the back was flush. On one of the phones the case did crack and break after a 3 ft fall. It was a cheap and quick replacement from Amazon, under ten bucks if I remember right.
The one offered is a 3800mah at 69.99 and shipping now.

Hi mate, fancy seeing you in a place like this.
Yea, moved on since my Symbian days & never been happier. Symbian was great in it's day but was spoiled by slow operating system & crap build quality. First got the Galaxy S & was delighted with it, so now moved up to the S2. Love this phone.
Nice to meet you again.
Better stop now or I will be accused of going off topic. See you soon.
Ankers are not 1900mah but 1600 or 1650 (dont remember for sure but this is what's printed on the cell under the anker wrapping). It's also confrmed by the fact that anker battery lasts same as stock samsung battery. Based on that official 2000mah should last longer but I never had one to confirm from personal experience . Howevet I'm very happy with 2 anker batteries and desktop sharger that I bought for 1/3 of price of official 2000mah battety. 95% of times I swap batteries instead of charging phone. My case is hybrid silicone / hard plastic. I removed stock battery cover plate as case covers the back anyway. When the battery runs down it takes me 10 secs to swap it + with 3 batteries(4800mah) I have 2.5 times more power then extended bat.
Arrived this morning the extended battery. Firt impressions.
I think i prefer the thickness of the phone now. One plus point is that the Camera area now has some protection when itslaid on its back, Isn't being laid straight on the lens.
The heavyness of the phone. Not sure, oesn't seem that heavy to me, but then, i had a Sony Ericsson X10i before this, so its probably on parr with that on weight
Will fully charge it up, and see how i get on.

The anker batteries are high quality...Even when i run games such as 9mm or PES 2012 the phone never over-heats. And the surprising amount of extra battery life whilst keeping the same size is really amazing. So don't go talking about things that you know nothing about. And if your still going to fight me on this then maybe you should check some of the reviews on amazon about it then maybe you could come to your sense and not call it " a cheap Anker battery".
I mean no offence with this but I'm tired of people talking about something whilst not knowing anything about it.
so call me a fool then i guess
I am using the 1900mAh Anker batteries and based on my experience they do last longer compared to the stock 1650mAh. And yes there is no phone heating issues at all.
but hey this is just me sharing my experience. you can call it cheap, because the price really is, $20 dollars for two of them. Cheap when it comes to price, but quality-wise then its worth every cent i paid for. Again this is just me. Maybe the gadget gurus know better if they have tried them
Hi,
I would like to know what is the best battery upgrade. Sometimes i need to use my phone for geocashing for more than two days and it is very boring trying to find time for waiting for charging. So I'm looking for best solution like extended battery or something like that. Size is not important for me, but i want something quality. Can you help me please ?
Thanks
Since size isnt a problem, id say.. get the Mugen 3200mah battery.
The quality is good and it has almost twice the capacity of the original.
Official samsung 2000 mah is pretty good. I get about 30% more usage on a full charge.

Hello guys, I would like to tell you my opinion about a battery that I had the chance to try. I'm talking about a battery produced by Mugen for Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with a capacity of 4000 mAh (more than double of normal rate).
Usually I'm used to use the smartphone with many apps in the background (WhatsApp, Dropbox, Beautiful widget and many other) and i often run games, especially in down time of the day. Im also linked to a carrier that has only 3G. Before attempting the battery I used to utilize three batteries so i can change eachother when the current one is downloaded.
With the Mugen's 4000 mAh battery i have found no problems to arrive safely at the end of the day, even when I spend hours playing.
In addition, the cover included in the package greatly improves the grip (im serius!).
I've tried it for 5-6 days but if you want to get more details, statistics and screenshots you can view this video review (in Italian)
You can buy it from www.mugen-power-batteries.com

The Mugen Power 4000 Mah supports NFC. A larger backcover is included.
The back cover has a kick-stand, this is great for watching video's.
The only disadvantage with the new backcover is that you cannot change backcovers too often. This is due to the vurnable "holding pins"
I have my 4000 Mah for about a month now, and it is awesome! The battery lasts 2,5 day's with heavy usage. Now I just have to find a way to cut out the back of my cardock in a proper way to fit the larger backcover.
Sorry for late reply! The battery is NFC compatible, i've tested it with another phone and it works!
It can totally replace the original battery
What is the biggest battery I can get for the Sprint GNex that can stay in the stock battery cover???
I think only the original battery will stay with the stock cover. I have the official extended battery and the increase in thickness isn't really noticeable. I personally feel that it makes the device more uniform.
the biggest battery you can get with stock battery cover is 1750 mAH
I have the sprint version which comes with an 1850mah
You all are false, I have the Anker 2200mAh battery and it uses OEM battery door, as well as requires no modification what so ever. Here. You will lose NFC however.
Here is the samsung version for the GSM version which includes NFC capability!!! check it out here
I have a GSM Nexus for my daily (other one is for work) and I use this Mugen battery. Yeah it's pricey but I had eBay bucks collecting I practically go it for free. I really think it works better than the OEM Samsung battery. I can usually get easily 2 days running Franco's 217 JB kernel OC'd to 1512 or w/e it is.

I'd agree with xreflection. Make sure it clearly states it's for the exact model of your phone. Also, I've never heard of Ecell, nor have I ever seen a thread about an Ecell battery, therefore I'm sure it's not really a 2200mAh battery, just something rebadged as a 2200mAh battery.
I would stick to OEM, Anker, Mugen, Hyperion, Qcell and Galileo. I've had nothing but fantastic results from those companies in the past. Can anyone else add any reliable battery manufactures they've had positive results with?
I would be weary of the mAH claims of various unknown-brand batteries. The capacity of a lithium ion cells is in direct proportion to size. So if one battery is claiming to be the same dimensions as another but has an extra 200mAH then something is up. All of the batteries use the same technology so there is no magic here. Other than what little they can do on the circuit board. It mostly comes down to the fact that most people can't measure the actual capacity of the cell.
I trust the samsung extended battery and it actually improves the feel of the phone. I think that's about the best you can do.
Oherwise you're looking at really increasing the size of the phone and that's down to your personal taste. For my hands I actually prefer the bigger phone and enjoy charging it every three days with the 3800mAH whale battery.

I would stick to OEM, Anker, Mugen, Hyperion, Qcell and Galileo. I've had nothing but fantastic results from those companies in the past. Can anyone else add any reliable battery manufactures they've had positive results with?

I've also had great experience with those battery manufactures. Also, I just received a battery from Amazon called Onite (only 3500mah I could find that works with NFC and was for the GSM version). when I get the phone tomorrow, I will test her out and write again giving it a review.

I was always interested in the company Onite, especially for my Galaxy Note. I never pulled the trigger because I couldn't find anyone that had any information about their products. Please do report back on how the battery performs!

Yeah, I know. I only saw one review on Amazon and I couldn't really tell if it was real or not. But, hey for a price of $12.80 why not take a chance? Hey, if the battery explodes I will make sure to have T-Mobile phone insurance and hopefully a warranty with the phone! With my HTC Evo 4G, I bought all my batteries from eBay first but then after I discovered some overheating issues I started buying batteries from Gorillagadgets.com. Its a shame they don't have any accessories for the Gnex. With my Evo though I got as much as 3 days out of one charge with a 3500mah battery and the perfect rom and kernel combo. Hopefully I'll be able to have at least 1 1/2 with Jelly Bean. We will see tomorrow.

Hey, just a quick update! I received my phone as well as my Onite battery today (hoping it wasn't going to explode!) and I haven't even opened up the OEM battery yet! I popped in my sim and battery immediately and began setting it up. I'd say the battery was at about 55% (if I remember correctly, around there) when I received it at 5:30 and it just died about 15-20 minutes ago so it lasted around 5-5 1/2 hours (of heavy usage mind you, I was playing with it the entire time, I think I put it down once) and I hadn't even charged it yet! With my experience with extended batteries I know its good to cycle them first and let them die the whole way, then charge them up the entire way a few times to get 'em warmed up so thats what I'm doing now. I'll update again tomorrow when I use it for an entire day.

I just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday and was also looking at an extended battery. I'm not keen on anything exploding so I'm a bit wear and looking forward to hearing about your experience.
Do you have any images of what your phone looks like with the Onite battery + cover attached?
Hey. Yeah it will be hard to determine until next week what the battery really does in regular use, because I just got my wisdom teeth removed so I'm just running on WiFi all day. I've been running it non stop since around 10 and its at 77% now so we'll see. As for the picture tbh it can't do it justice. The phone is already thin and light enough and the battery (imho) makes it feel better in my hands and adds virtually no excess weight.

Oh and by the way, I charged it overnight and it hasn't even overheated NFC works on it as well! Its a good battery for $12

The Onite battery looks very promising. Does anyone know a shop, which ships the item to Germany?
Hm I don't know a place but depending on how long you can wait aber ich komme Ende September nach deutschland und kanns mitbringen ^_^

Well guys. Its 7:35 and its been on battery for 8 hrs and I still have 12% left! This was only the 1st charge so it only gets better from here!

Oh yeah! And to comment on the back cover that comes with the Onite battery: its the same color as the gray on the back of the phone and it doesn't feel like the usual cheap covers that has the color that rubs off after normal use.
