I know there are the mega sized batteries that add extra bulk. Looking for extended batteries that are the same size as stock and with NFC.

Mugen 2300 mAh with NFC
Thanks! Pretty pricey for a 200mah increase but it's good to know we have options. I'll probably wait for a price drop though.

only 100mah more but they are decent batteries i had some for my gs2 but no NFC. Good if your going on a trip or something and need that extra battery, I didn't trust as long term though. I had gotten a 2 pack with a universal charger for like $20 for my gs2

Yea, I had an Anker battery for my EVO 3D and they're solid. Definitely want one with NFC though.
i am in the same boat but don't want to walk around with a brick with those 4000mah batteries. to me that defeats the purpose of this ultra thin phone. i keep an extra battery in car in case i need it.
i don't think you will find a decent capacity (say 2800-3000mah) battery without requiring a bulky extended back cover.. those that advertise this type of capacity are probably liars. i said it before, but if it were possible samsung would of increase capacity while keeping the same size.
sure you can get a 2200-2300mah battery that is the same size but it's pointless because the added time will only be like an additional 10-20 minutes compare to stock (that is of course if you even get the advertised capacity)..
battery technology needs improvement.. everyone is making better and better phones but battery technology is lacking and no on is investing money to improve them

I read that those QCell batteries are fake. Supposedly if you peel back the sticker, they're really 2100mah.
Damn it. I wish I didn't listen and question this. The QCell I got does not have a label beneath their sticker or indication that it is 2100mah, but when peeling it back I tore the connector to the nfc. :'(

a) It does make the phone look ridiculous, why buy an 11mm thick cellphone, only to double the thickness?
b) My battery already lasts a day easy with moderate use, maybe you're doing something wrong.
Seidio or someone just needs to come out with a 1750mah battery that fit like stock batt. If they did it for the bb bold they can do it for this phone. By the way has anyone tried or thought about trying that amzer1600mah battery? Not much of a difference but I've been thinking about it...if they ask like 30 or 40 bucks not 60

Look: more battery requires more space, which means more bulk which means a bulge and a custom back cover. No other way around it... simple physics. If you don't want a bulge in your phone, get something like a Zaggsparq to plug into for portable rechargeability.

It seems obvious that someone looking for an extended battery is looking for just that. I want my cordless phone to be cordless and I don't want to have to keep swapping batteries. The Mugen is pretty ugly but it really doesn't make the phone that much thicker (17mm vs 11mm). I really just wish there were cases that fit it.
Like the title says, just wondering what the highest capacity battery is that doesn't require you to extend the size of the phone by replacing the battery cover.

So if it comes with a quick charger, does that mean the battery shouldn't be charged while inside the phone or is it just a convenience thing?
It's much more convenient to use that charger, and plus it FULLY charges the battery. I never plug my phone in, I just swap fully charged batteries every morning.
Somehow when I see a $16 price tag for 2x2000Mah batteries + charger, a mental image of an exploded shrapnel piercing a Chinese man's carotid artery comes to mind.

Yep. If you don't already have a wall charger I recommend getting the set I linked. That charger is key.
The stock battery as far as I'm aware of is the best battery for the size. All those higher rated ones, are liez.
the best battery that doesn't require you to change the cover is the stock red oem battery the phone comes with. check batteryboss.org for proof. if you could get more juice out of the same size htc would of done that.

Sorry to say, but you're wrong. The galilio batteries that I linked last noticeably longer than the stock red batteries. I have 2 of the stock ones and I don't use them at all because the galilios are better. Check this thread out, dude tested them and the 1800mah ones from galilio tested higher capacity than the oem batteries, over 100mah more. Sure they aren't true 1800 and the 2000s arent true 2000 but who cares? They are dirt cheap and DO perform better than the stock battery.

Yea. Actually took the case and cover off my phone after reading that little bit. Didn't remember the battery being right at the base of the fingerprint reader. So using a seriously big battery would make that kinda pointless.... since not only would it be hard to reach, but they'd have to design some crazy cover to even get it to work.
I bought one of these and so far NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!?
Is there something I need to do so Android understands it has more capacity, or does it just s*ck? I was also wondering if others have similar experience.

Some devices will only recalibrate the battery meter when the battery gets completely (or almost completely) discharged and THEN fully recharged. Don't know if that's the case with Atrix, but it's worth a try.

Yes, after testing was done, it was found that not only is the 4200 hyperion battery (and case) smaller than these, and cheaper, but they have 4200 MAH while these equate to considerably less... depending on when you switch on the external batt case. There is a point that battery can't drop any lower when charging another battery, and you loose some just in the transfer anyway.
the only advantage of this is that you can easily take the phone out and go caseless, for less bulk. but now you are caseless, unless you always carry an extra case around with you.
For me, the hyperion (being smaller than this, cheaper, and more power) was the way to go. and if I wanted to keep slim, but was going camping or something, I would bring an external USB pack (heck i even made a couple: google minyboost).
but hey, if you like it, OP, each to their own.

Trust me, Hyperion Battery isn't more powerful than this. The real 4300 mah battery is Mugen Power batteries. And The Mugen Power Batteries is $99. So Hyperion isn't a good battery. If you think 4300mah battery better than this, you should buy Mugen Power batteries.

No need to hate, just because you got less, and paid more.
Well, then the samsung OEM battery must suck too... because i am getting over twice the on time with my hyperion battery. Over 1 1/2 days, with HEAVY use (over 8 hours of screen time, plus 3 hours of bluetooth, and GPS). Hyperion have been making GOOD quality batteries for years (they used to make them for RC cars, now they do Cell phones too) just because Mugen overcharges, does not make others of lesser quality. Also, hyperion has some of the best customer service i have ever dealt with.
perhaps you should research before you make unfounded claims.
I didn't say bad things to your battery. I'm sure Hyperion batteries good too. But my case isn't bad.
your case may work, he was just saying that you will not get the full charge to convert over as i had said, plus you now have no case for your phone unless you leave it in that 24/7 or carry one around. MUCH simpler (and bigger ACTUAL AVAILABLE battery life) for cheaper with the extended battery. -plus they have 2 different types of cases for the extended battery!

anyway, have gotten off topic.
from dead, how much juice does your case give you SERK4N?

I haven't charged fully yet. But in the morning My phones battery was at %3. I attached case to my phone. Case's battery was at %75. (3 Led was glowing. Case have 4 Led) And I used my phone for 6 hours. (And heavy usage) And case have still one led. So i think its good.
(Sorry for my bad English. Hope you can understand )
I found this thread where G1_enthusiast reviewed Anker and Seidio batteries for S3, but I also found the 4600mAh battery from Mugen Power earlier than these, and ordered it.
All I head is that cheap batteries are made out of almost expired materials and work for like 200 charge cycles, which explains their price. The expensive ones like Mugen or Seidio work for 400-500 charges, which is better, but would be awesome if some one could review the 4600mAh one. I will post my results later when I receive it, but I don't have experience in doing such tests.
ADD INFO - Found video review on the web

reason why they are not popular is the price tag, i used to think their company is out of japan but in fact they are base out of hong kong (people tend to think china stufff are ****ty). so what make their battery better than anker or hyperion? having say that, i have own their battery before (G2 and SGS2) and they do make battery longer than stock. however i was not into crazy testing at the time. i will not pay 100 bucks for battery again, as long as anker is in bussiness.
seido is the only battery company that is base in texas...thats not to say their factory isnt in china either. they also make quality battery in the past

Well, as I head many times and experienced myself on older phones (I have a 3900mAh from Mugen for Nexus S that works for 1.5 years already) - industry standards cannot produce a good quality battery and sell it for 10$. Those batteries are usually made out of expired materials. The issue here is not just the capacity but the battery life cycle. Cheap batteries have confirmed to last for 100-200 charges, however batteries from Seidio or Mugen last for 400-600 charges, not to say about warranty and safety + NFC support.
Also, for me personally customer support and brand presence is more important than being cheap. If I can afford a phone that costs 800$, I surely can get a good quality battery for a 100$. I will get the battery soon, btw, and will let you know.

I wonder if the Mugen battery will work with the extended cases that are being offered. I got one from Hyperion that I like. Judging by pictures it looks like the Mugen extended door may be a little bigger or designed different.
If the Mugen would fit with the other extended doors and TPU cases I would buy it. I've had great luck with them,

If a cheap extended battery lasts for 200 charges and I charge it every 2 days, it's still going to last over a year. I expect to have a new phone by this time next year if not sooner. So what's the big deal?

Good point, I always try to get the best deal, but for some reason I stopped using ebay batteries long time ago after a couple of duds.

That is why you go for tested name brand but not super expensive. a mugen costs more than 5 times what a hyperion, qcell, etc. costs. but it is very unlikely they will last 5 times as many charges. there is nothing like a fresh battery!
Well, they're always out of stock...I guess they never back back-logs. Anyways, I've received my S3 battery and now I need to calibrate the phone according to their instruction. They say that it's necessary to charge 4-5 times for 8-12 hours before the phone recognizes the new capacity. Does anyone know why?

I possibly cannot be doing a better ones that I've added to the thread. Check these videos.
$100 for a battery! That's more than half what I payed for the phone itself

Why didn't you buy a stand with extra battery that recharges both at the same time and just carry the extra one with you? I did, 18 pounds in amazon.uk. That way there is no extra bulk, and it's much cheaper!

I tend to carry my phone around, that's why. I think that's the sole purpose of having an extended battery in the first place.

Who said anything about not carring it around? I also carry it around, along with the extra battery. At the end of the day i put them both charging.

Yup, when the other extended battery costs less than $30 bucks, why pay much more?

Thanks. Is this the official Samsung extended battery kit? Also, does the S3 fit in this dock when used with either an Incipio or SGP Neo Hybrid case?

This is not the official one, it's Chinese. But in a emergency the extra battery does the trick. The phone won't fit with the case, you have to take it off.
