I recently got a hold of Anker Extended Battery for GS3 and wanted to do a quick review.
First is all, this is not very scientific. I did not use any specific tools to measure battery so there can variables.
Battery comes in nice retail packaging with extended battery cover including warranty info.
Over all, I am very satisfied with performance of the battery so far but its too early too tell. I am really not sure if its really 4400 mAH but under moderate use, I was able to get 1 days 7 hours and 50 mins of use with 5 hours and 50 mins of screen time. The great thing is that I have not recycled the battery yet so currently, battery is not at its full potintial yet.
I will post more updates.
Here are some pics of battery stats with screen time.

I have an extra. The price went back up to 55 on Ebay. I'll sell my extra for 40. Free economy shipping.

This is on medium/heavy usage. The battery is only 9 bucks and is worth it. I don't mind the bulge behind the phone because it actually makes my grip better. I do miss the OEM design and the galaxy s II logo. If you want an extended battery I would reccomend this one. Thanks

You have to use the phone for a few days. You should see an improvement in your battery life.
For the screen shot, whu did you have to use an app ? Just press (and hold) the HOME button and quickly press the POWER button. You will see a picture of the screen saved on your phone's card, in the /ScreenCapture folder.
Cool little screenshot trick mentioned directly above this!
But what I want to know is where did you get it from, like a link? And what does it look like? I will do some research but for those who take the leap and get the phone, I think their questions might be the same. Please update the op, op. If you're checking out your thread, thanx!

He said he got it from tmart.com and that it was $9 or so, so this should be it.

I decided to do a comparison between the ttwo batteries.
Ordered from here -http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trexcell-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-3800mAh-Extended-Battery-Cover-FOR-VERIZON-/280838395763?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416345d773
It got to me in two days! Thats quick shipping

And now for the diffrence between covers and batts-
Curious to see how long this 3800mah battery lasts. Maybe twice the stock 1900mah battery?
Fair to say charge time from near-zero to full will take twice the time?
hiya.. i got one also.. and im pretty displeased with the performance of mine.. anyone else chime in??
i got one of these for £10.
its not pretty, but i wasnt buying it for the look!
pretty happy with it. it easily doubles the time i get with stock battery. and more !

hmm.. something is up with mine then.. i am on LiQUIDSMOOTH-v1.1 with franco milestone 2 kernel..
So I've done a few cycles on this battery and I got to say its the best bang for the buck. For $4 I am able to heavily use my phone for about 5-6 hours. I was playing GTA 3 on max settings and it got really hot.
This is the battery that claims to be 2300 mah btw.
I've attached my screenshots.

This eBay battery is really great as a supplement to the stock battery if you don't have enough power to get you through the day
It has about 80-90% capacity of the stock battery I would say.

Nope. Its the regular door. This battery is around 1600mah. For $4 you can't really complain.

Hey,
Anyone ever tried this out?
http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/accessory/ao_details.jsp?accSKU=67400182&accCatId=acc9002cat
They don't sell them at the Verizon store. They're at the Sprint store. It uses the OEM battery that comes with the phone. It piggybacks on an extra 1620mah battery.
I tried it and still have it it works great and u get the battery door, rubber case, and the plastic phone clip, its sweet but it does make ur phone pretty fat thou take that into consideration.
Ur battery will last a day and a half wit heavy use it did for me. Like 34 to 40 hours with like 6 hours of screen on time.

How large does it end up being? I recently stopped using a QCell battery because I didn't like the way the battery cover messed with flash pictures. From the picture on the Sprint website, it looks like the cover and case do not interfere with the flash like the QCell does.
The case does not interfere with any of it because it has all the rite cut outs, and its not that fat. I actually have a 4200 mah battery that I ordered from batteries plus. And they are both the same thickness. Hope this helped out.

What the hell is up with battery? It first charges at very fast rate usually 2-3% every 5 mins then slows down and when reaches around 70% it jumps to 100 % . it can retain its charge to max about 9-8 hours with minimal use and 2-3 hours with heavy use, I have tried clearing cache/battery status from recovery and different ROMs/kernel/radio all give same result

I had the same thing with the desire hd I had, basically lost the top 30% capacity I believe. Once I replaced the battery it was perfect again.
