spare batteries anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Seeing a few on eBay now but it's unclear what the capacity is. I'm wary of them anyway as I've had Chinese sellers send me the wrong battery for recent phones (check the listing, the battery described is often different from the one in the title!). Also I've had fake capacity batteries sent out - 800mah or less packed out to full capacity size with foam-rubber!
I'm hoping someone will make an extended capacity battery as it wouldn't need to stick out the back much as the i9100 is recessed anyway. There is an external battery pack available but it's just an additional battery that clips round the phone, not a replacement. Fugly too!

Ditto. Would love to score some batteries by next week since I'm going on a trip and won't always have access to an outlet. Especially since the battery drain is horrible.
Guess we're out of luck in the States since it'll take a while if shipped from UK

Looking at eBay I see a backup battery like this:
1900mAh Back-Up Battery For Samsung Galaxy S2 II i9100
Granted it is not an actual spare battery...for approx USD$10 it may be worth it to get it for some emergency juice for the phone.

Play have them on pre order. Apatantly they are in stock tomorrow

i had mugen power for my i9000 (HLI-Si9000XL) 3200mA was wondering if theres also for i9100

I see a lot of battery threads but can't make up my mind, what's the best battery?

Price range under $30 and one that fits or slightly fits the original back cover

check this out ! a lot of improve than the OEM battery
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Anker-T-m...ccessories&hash=item33732f9f1a#ht_2425wt_1396
they have the best battery..... wall charge really fast like 2.5 hours . i have been using for 2 months and no problem

anker are known to be good batteries, but you should get the galaxy nexus battery that you can pick up from the verizon store. The OEM batteries have NFC capabilities the others do not. OEM should last longer too even though the mah are different.

ZDoubleZ, that's a sweet deal! I don't really care about NFC right now, but how is the battery life of the Nexus batteries compared to Anker?

Nexus extended is best.

Nexus is good too but if you want to use the same cover and under $30
to me anker battery is a best choice
OEM 1850 mAh left
ANKER 2050 mAh right

Why do y'all have such horrible battery life on stock.....

Yup, and $25

Been on the VZ nexus extended battery for a month - wow it is great. Much better than I expected. Took off the label paper, trimmed off the plastic end caps to the battery height (with a razor blade). Left on the NFC antenna, but can get it thinner by cutting that off. My stock cover barely bulges. It's been $35 at Amazon (Samsung 2100 mah extended with cover) or at Verizon (lucked out when it was $25)

I just ordered the anker 2050 from ebay for 9.99 shipped.
I dont use nfc and our phones lack the secure element needed for g00gle wallet. I also wanted the back cover to fit correctly without having to modify the battery, and 50mha isnt a big difference.

Hands down nexus...

The better the system the more battery it Burns, I app pose that if the processors and memory were less consumptuous then maybe we would be better off. Honestly even if you are turning off certain process patterns or psych out the brain it won't help, the won't be such a thing as a perfect phone unless you built it yourself, but unless the boards and parts are sold to secure in sockets your out of luck.

I've been having major battery issues still even with new Rom and kernel so i decided to buy this nexus battery from the Verizon store. is this the correct one?!? i keep reading everyone talk about the extended one but i did not purchase that one. the salesman told me 39.99 but when they rang me up they said i get a discount and it ended up only being 20.00.
should i get the extended or will this be good enough?

Mobile Charger Anything Similar

Is there anything similar to http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3/sgp-portable-mobile-battery-kuel-f60q-series.html
It is basically like a brick that you can plug in your usb and chrages your phone from the 6000mAh battery inside of the brick.
Was wondering if there is anything similar to this but a much cheaper price?

There any loads of options available. Check around Google (not trying to be a smart one), just too many to list)

8400mah, 10,000mah, 12,000mah, more..

I usually see a couple on eBay for around $20

Tylt Power plant $59.99 5200mah sprint sells them works very well and pretty decent price considering you have a year warranty through sprint and 14 days to return I got this and a ten dollar pack of zagg screen wipes to get the twenty percent off of both

I bought this 5200mAh one when Amazon had that twofer with the 7100mAh one for $55. Sleek, smaller than a car garage door opener and has a laser pointer and flashlight built in too. Even now $34 is a pretty good price. Can't post links yet so search Amazon for: New Trent iTorch IMP52D 5200mAh External Battery Charger. I've had it for almost a week now and it's really handy to carry around.

I just bought the Trent iCarrier and got the iMirror for free as part of a promo on Amazon.

what else do you get for free by clicking your referral link?

Although completely useless for my life, I really want one of those things. I will have no use for it...still want one.

With my sgs2 I had 3 batteries.. I always have a battery problem..

Cheap Stock Batteries?

I was searching for a stock spare battery and came across these... they have the same model number and the seller says its an OEM product.
are they legit?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-1750mah-...Accessories&hash=item3cc743585f#ht_2852wt_907

Good timing, i was searching for the same thing and saw this ad as well. Not sure if it legit or not... anyone order from this seller before?

I've seen lots on ebay that are excellent counterfeits, some of which work as well as the genuine part. For example, I once bought a phone battery that looked exactly the same as the original, except for the quality of the hologram and two small typos, and it held a charge better than the original battery that came with the phone.
So it may well be worthwhile even if it's not genuine.

Hopefully they have nfc support....

A wise man once told me, "You don't always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for!" $8 for a genuine Samsung battery - when they retail at $30 for a device that is still very popular, I would think twice. Spend the extra $20 for a legit battery.
Just my 2 cents.

Well I can always return it

Ask around at the other thread for the sprint 2100mAh battery if you have a cdma variant. Im using one now and a lot of people ordered extras over there.

i always buy the cheapest batteries i can find, you can order 3 or 4 and it still will cost less than one direct from samsung and you get much more battery life total

I bought two that looked identical to one on eBay. No nfc though.. I told the dude they were fake and he gave me my money back. So I got 2 free batteries that look stock with no nfc... beware of cheap batteries from sellers in Hong Kong...

Same thing happened with me. Just got the battery. Was a fake and I got my refund. But the battery seems pretty decent in holding charge. Well see how it does in a few weeks

Will the above battery work with the standard european model of Samsung Galaxy?
I need a new ekstra battery. Don't care if it has NFC or not. I just don't wan't it to be bigger than the standard one. Please post some links to sellers if the above don't work.
Thanks.

Indeed very cheap. But one problem, they don't deliver to Europe, Denmark.

Canadians 2xanker + charger 8.50$

I just saw this on amazon
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0058SJ5Q4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
8.50$ for 2x1900mah and charger
all in comes at ~13$
I think it was 19.99$ before i dunno why it's that cheap

Thanks for the heads up. Bought this yesterday. From what I've read, these batteries are pretty good, and don't need new back cover.
