I have VZW GN and wondered if there were any batteries out there that are the same physical size as the standard OR extended batteries, but perform better?
Such as "2450mAh High Capacity Replacement Gold Battery For SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS i9250" on ebay
Anker has a 2200mAh one, i have their 2000mAh which is barely different, but I just needed a slim battery for an external charger to switch out when I'm low on juice

I dont see why other battery companies dont jump on this and make larger capacity thin batteries...
If you do some research you'll find that *most* aftermarket batteries do not put out the full mah ratings that they claim to have.
Stock batteries are the most reliable in meeting their actual mah ratings. I had a good experience with Anker in the past in my Sensation but other than that, every other aftermarket battery I have bought has not lived up to the qualify of stock.

They can label it as a 3000mah battery but that doesn't mean you'll actually get that, these cheap battery manufacturers can't cram more capacity into the same size as samsung does, why can't people understand this?

I'm hoping to get a bigger battery for this phone as I have to charge it twice a day w regular use. And this phone falls out of my hand too easily so it could use more weight and thickness.... anyone know of any batteries other than the 2100 mah? Its not worth adding only 400 mah so I'd rather get the 3500 if it comes out.

Check the Samsung website, I saw a higher capacity battery with accompanying back plate there. eBay may have one too.

There are only two batteries, the stock 1850mAh, and the extended 2100mAh (which is what OP is talking about). I agree, i would like to see something better than just a 250mAh increase (and i got big hands, so i would enjoy the thicker profile)
EDIT: there are only two batteries from samsung; i guess you can find a 3rd party 3500 online if you are willing to trust it in your $700 device (i wonder if 3rd party batteries are covered under warranty)
Has anyone tried this one? They claim its the same size as the original battery but yet it delivers 2200mAh.

thanx
I would bet that it has about the same charge capacity or less than the stock battery.
Every review of these after market battery that are the same size as the stock battery just have sub par performance.
I ordered an official Samsung extended battery after seeing all the reviews of the aftermarket ones. Its pricy for sure but it is actually an extended battery as opposed to a lesser spare battery which these normally turn out to be.

For the record, ALL eBay batteries that claim over the standard capacity in the same size as stock are 10-20% less capacity than the stock battery. Even mugen despite a large fan base have been proven to be the same or a bit less than the stock battery capacity (excluding the ones that require a new back cover). If you're looking for more capacity I suggest either the official Samsung one or one of the much larger 3800 mah batteries from eBay or mugen.

Hi,
I am looked several hours for a response to my question, but have not found any answers. I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I am looking for a higher capacity battery, but one that is the same size as the original. I am not looking for the extended batteries that have new backs that come with the sale. The battery should be able to slide right into the phone and attach the original cover. I am perfectly alright with spending a decent amount of money for the improved battery.
Thanks.
Unless someone can prove me wrong, I think all of those listings with higher mah are bs. You're best with just buying a few OEM Samsung batteries. You can also buy the external charger(+phone dock) from Samsung, or a 3rd party one from ebay (charging on ebay one is extremely slow)
i am testing the hyperion battery 4000mah right now, final verdict will be on saturday. doing the charging as per instruction.
Yeah bigger battery but fits under the same back is a myth. Mugen claims to have a 2300 but I am not sure if it is for real.

they have quality battery in the past. i own 2-3 of their battery and you get what you pay for.
yea the only way would be able to is if they make some modified Chemical for their Cells.
Or (more likely) they just dont follow the same expansion tolerances that OEM manufactures do so they can cram fatter Cells with slightly higher capacity into the same opening in the phone back.
I wouldn't just dimiss the Mugen battery, they're the only one so far that has 3.8v spec on their batt, which from little research is different chem from 3.7v.
And if the phone is regulating the charge, then charging these 3rd party 3.7v batteries with our built in charger will kill these batteries in a hurry.
without NFC and less regulated (less safer) packaging i can see extra 200mAh possible. but not worth $45 IMO>

Are there any differences between how the phone charge and how these 3rd party devices charge? Won't they all stop when the batteries reach 4.2v? The HTC rezound comes with either a 3.7v or 3.8v battery and I've not seen any indication that swapping batteries is a problem.
I am planed to buy a extended battery. I found Link Dream 3.7V 3200mAh Battery(stock battery size). Is it good? anyone using this battery?
Link Dream 3.7V 3200mAh Battery
OR Any other good extended battery?
OEM Samsung 3000maH kit is better - look on ebay for it. Includes updated backcover too.

That is not available in ebay india Are you using Samsung 3000maH? can you share your battery life?
Have you not considered the 7000mAh battery by Zerolemon? I have had mine now for nearly 2 years and would find it hard to go back to a lesser battery. Its a bit bulky but its nice not having to think of how much battery life remains on my phone I get 2 days of pretty heavy usage with around 10 hours screen on time.
oem or compatible battery
I'm finally ready for a new higher capacity battery. There are batteries on ebay, but im worried they may be overrated or may bulge or explode. Any recommendations for a cheap high capacity battery and a reputable ebay seller?
Any reputed manufacturer for these high capacity batteries?
I just bought and tested a Link Dream 2500mAh battery and it had less than half the stated capacity, so I'd suggest getting a more conservatively rated battery from a credible source.
Are those Nexus 5 batteries at AliExpress with a capacity of 3800mAh legit? They even claim it's the same size as the original batteries.
No, this is fake... Maybe the real capacity will have a 1500mAh... Search original or replacement of good quality, for example. PolarCell: http://www.polarcell.de/english.html
I second that (what bykumza writes), if the manufacturer (LG) could have fitted a real 3800 mAh battery they would have done that. Often the more modest capacity values are more accurate. I can confirm that PolarCell are very good, well worth the money. The Chinese cheapies often dissapoint.

Actually Nexus 5 and G2 are released almost same date. Nexus 5 has 2300 mah battery and G2 has 3000 mah. I bought G2 battery and put it in my Nexus 5. It fits but it needs ~1 mm space which is not a problem for LG to do it! But they did not! That company did not put 3000 mah battery in nexus 5 which could have been the bestseller because of price/performance and put 2300 mah in it so they could sell their ****ing G2s with great battery life. So no they would not have done it even if they could. Today companies do not do so much things that they can, we just can't even imagine. Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung , apple and other mobile companies are good example. Why on earth can't mobile companies like apple put bigger batteries in it's super high price phones? Juts why? Samsung managed to put 3600 mah battery in 5.5 inch phone which is smaller then iphone 6s plus or 7 plus which has ~2900 mah and takes 3 and a half ****ing hours to charge it!!!!
Would you recommend to get a replacement battery from PolarCell instead of getting OEM original one?

And... Why not G2 battery? I need a replacement to
Thanks
Fitting G2 battery requires some hardware modification, which I frankly don't feel like doing.
I just wonder which battery is better, a PolarCell one (someone recommend in previous post) or OEM one.
Polarcell is reportedly one of the best alternatives and has a slightly higher capacity than the original cost can say that comes out more or less the same as the original.
Here, unfortunately, you have to answer on your own if you want to take a chance and buy a replacement if you prefer a standard solution.
