I've purchased some batteries from eBay and other sites that are either "Samsung OEM batteries" or slim extended batteries. I've noticed though that they either all discharge faster than the stock battery the phone came with or they charge to a certain point then discharge while its still charging. I've come to the conclusion that this phone only likes the battery the phone came with. Any ideas?

2 capacity 2300mah original replacement for 44.95 or 4600mah with back door for 98.95. It doesn't say anything about nfc but i do remember reading on their facebook that nfc will work with these batteries.

Just found this on Ebay: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Original-OEM...ltDomain_3&hash=item3cca7e925e#ht_2718wt_1397
Unfortunately this does not charge your phone. And I have my doubts with this being the real deal. Which dual charger, so phone dock and battery dock in one charging both would you guys recommend? I could not find any similar topic with these sorts of products.
Oh and yes, this is a question.
Ive had the 2 anker 2200 mah batteries and charger for a few weeks and I really like it. The ankers last just as long as the OEM battery

Look for the Kidigi dock. It will charge your phone and a spare battery simultaneously

hmm I've always wanted to get one of these combo packs (battery and charger) - and this seems like a great deal... though being from Hong Kong I'm a little bit skeptical when it comes to original/genuine items.

The thing you need to check is that the NFC function works... An original samsung battery should allow the NFC to work, the OEM batteries don't... If you're looking for a cheap extra battery for just the power you can find them for around $3-$4 Aud on ebay. They work fine but don't have NFC antenna...
And just because it says NFC enabled DOESN'T mean t is...

For now, I would recommend the QCell 2100x2 with Charger since I didnt get to test the Anker and Hyperion yet. Plus the Charger charges the batteries to 100% unlike Hyperion chargers.
Ill post some shots of the Kidigi its awesome no prob from HK. took a bit but thats typical for free ship. Im waiting for an OEM batt w NFC from a domestic seller it was cheap as hell but all his buyers seem happy.

referring to the first post
The link you provided is the real thing, from what I know, there isn't any fakes of this item from hong kong, these item were on a special offer if you buy a new S3 from a authorised store, and many stores sell them of cheaply without the purchase of the S3.

i say keep waiting for the original samsung 3000mah battery to come out, thats what im doing.
Me too but it is really taking forever

Here's some shots of the Kidigi charging the spare batt. I'll post some of it charging the phone later.It also allows you to charge the unit with or without a case. The spare batt was not OEM. Didnt really hold a charge and NFC didnt work. Got my $ refunded and said I should keep it. You really cant get around buying it from Samsung. If theres a 3000mah that is the same size as stock that would be great, I wasnt aware of that.

Does anyone know if there is a slim version of an extended battery? I have the onite 4300mah extended battery and it last all day, but I don't like the fact that it's a lot heavier than the phone with the stock battery. I don't need that much power. Just something to get me an hour or two more out of my phone. Something a little higher than the 2100mah. Any thoughts? Also if this post already exist, please delete this one, I apologize if there is one I was unable to locate it.

Hm. im afraid not... You could always underclock your phone or root... but i seriously am blanking out i honestly think there is no "slim" version of the extended battery.
Well I mean instead of me having a 2100 mah is there somethin little higher capacity or does someone know of a website that sells extended battery doors. I have the onite extended battery and I might just stick with that but the back door broke for the phone and I don't know of anyone who sells a pebble blue extended battery cover.

Was just wondering if you know if that battery will add any thickness to the phone. Also could you provide a link to the website? Thank you.

You can find a bunch on eBay. They even have 3000mah from china. I just bought 2 2800 from USA for like $15 they are the same physical size as stock battery. Just search i747 battery on eBay.
Are they NFC enabled like the stock battery is ?
Remember that on the GS3, NFC is built into the battery itself, not onto the phone.
Of course, if you don't need it...
i recently received my 2300 mAh Onite with NFC from Amazon.
so far, it's providing me with just a few more hours. which is all i needed anyways, and keeping the same battery cover.
i also have a CellularFactory 4500 mAh with NFC that provides me with 2 days of battery that i use when traveling.

No NFC but I personally don't use it much anyways

With the slim battery, how long is your screen time? I think with stock I can hit about 3 hours before I have to charge the phone.

Unfortunately there aren't any that don't make the phone look pregnant. I think you can find 1950mah batteries but that's not gonna give you more than an extra hour I would think.
I found a 2650mah slim extended battery from China on ebay, is it good?
Sorry, I can't post the link yet because i still a New member in this forum..

The 2650 is certainly a fake. I saw those too, gold battery or something like that. I tried the Andida 2300 and got a little longer battery life but it crapped out after a month or two causing random reboots.

Bummer on the Andida, I was hoping they were good. I've had it on my eBay watch list for a while. Anyone else with feedback on the Andida?

There is actually a 2000 mAh battery out there. I bought it myself, but as other people said, if you do the math, it only adds about an hour, so it wasn't really worth it. If you really want an extended battery, go for the ones with the extra bulk, or buy two 1800 mAh batteries to swap during the day.
How about 2500mah Galilio or 2520mah "Sporting Persistence" on ebay?

I got used to the bulk of the Qcell 4100 rather quickly. No problem going full day with heavy use. My 2 cents.

I hope the Andida doesn't get random reboots after a couple months! I got the Andida 2300 about 6 weeks ago and so far so good. I'm getting about 10-15% better battery life and am getting no random reboots (yet).

Agreed, the Anker batteries (two pack with charger for less than $20) has been great. I have been using them for about 2 months now and they are doing just fine.
I have to agree about the Anker batteries as well. Be careful about what you buy off ebay though. I bough a 3 pack of supposedly 1800mAh batteries off Ebay and they were all ****. I compared the physical size of the batteries with the oem one and they were all thinner and lighter. Get the Anker ones. I bought an Anker one about a month ago and so far it's working great.
Yeah I just unwrapped a cheap 1800mah battery I got off ebay and the markings underneath indicated its a 1500. Its also skinnier than stock.
I just picked up some EzoPower brand batteries and they appear to be real 1800. Need to give them a few more charging cycles to get a better idea.
I found these batteries for the GS3 with a 2500mAh capacity. I just wanna know if anyone use/own them? And how are they? Do they actually have a 2500mAh capacity like it's shown?

Probably some cheap china battery spend a little more and go for zerolemon 2300mah heard alot of positive feedback ordering mine soon !

I have them, they aren't horrible but I'm waiting for my zerolemon 7000mah to ship next week. They last only slightly longer than stock, the nice thing is I carry both and switch them.
