Hi everyone.
I was wondering if any of you guys know a reliable ebay seller to get an original (or almost) battery that has a good performance or if someone released an enhanced one(more mah)?
wow funny I come across this thread minutes after buying an extended battery.
I just bought a 4500 MaH battery (comes with replacement back) from this store for $8
http://stores.ebay.com/batterymonst...w=galaxy&submit=Search&_fsub=1&_sid=653262378
Just a word of warning, I purchased a 2900 mah replacement from him that turned out to be a 2100 (figured it out because it's identical in size to OEM battery), so I'm a bit hesitant to guarantee this is as advertised. My logic is that its only $8.
this 4600mAH battery is legit from Mugen, but comes with a $90 price tag.

If you're willing to wait until friday when my battery arrives I'll gladly report on it.

Something else to take into consideration (like I should have) is that the NFC chip is in the battery. Not sure if the one I bought has that chip

actually I just visited a couple websites, I take back that part about Mugen being a safe bet.

Hey pal, thank you for all this info.
As I saw from your links, the mugen 4600mAh seems quite reliable and we probably should get what they promise.
This $8 battery, I see as quick replacement for an emergency situation. I don't think it is much reliable for daily use based on my previous experiences with cheap ebay batteries (PSP-1001, Nokia N95 and even iPhone4) as they don't endure for much long time as the original ones.
I'll try this $8 battery that you suggested, maybe we are lucky and get a real good product as announced.
Well, I live in Brazil, soh I think those will take at least two weeks to arrive, so if you manage to get them before than me, please, share your experience. :victory:
will do. I'll reply here and copy it to your private messages
try shimshop or most sellers sending the batteries direct from korea.

If I want to buy it where is the best internet price for Europe?

So I received the battery Friday night and let it charge overnight. On Saturday I gave it a good amount of use, and it lasted an entire 12 hour shift only dropping to 63%. So far I'd say its doing the job for an $8 battery, however there is no NFC chip

Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed

ima have to wait for it to drop to $30 on amazon
I ordered from thecellguru.com for my Epic and was very pleased with the transaction. I bought (for the Epic) 2 batteries, a cradle charger, and the car dock from them and the prices were about half off compared to samsung's website.
I just noticed they are showing the Samsung OEM (cross referenced the numbers and they appear to check out) battery on their site for about half off. Looks like as of this writing, they are shipping in 2 days. I put 2 on order and will try to update this thread with my results. Shipping was only 1.99 4 to 6 day shipping.

Just received notice that my order is shipping. I guess they must be in stock now.

I think mobilecity charges $5 for shipping. There was some OEM on ebay shipped for $23. I'll let you know if they're legit.

That's a pretty cool accessory. $30 would be a perfect price.. oh well, time to wait
Got my battery from thecellguru.com today. Seems to be legit. Samsung packaging and all
. Depending on what apple does tomorrow. I may finally be back to using one phone for the first time in years. Will post pics in one hour or so.

I was looking at that as well but when you go to the AceSoft web site, they don't show any 1840mAh batteries listed. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one of these. It says that the charger that comes with it can charge the oem battery as well. Should be here this weekend.

I just received my batteries. They are the OEM Samsung batteries, 1800mAh, same exact battery as what came in the phone. I won't bother taking pictures since blackhand901 already posted some, and if you notice, in the picture it shows "thecellguru.com" receipt above the image. Not sure what that's all about if he ordered from mobilecity.
So, I'm confirming thecellguru.com truly has the OEM battery and is selling it for $18.92 or roughly half of what it is at samsung.com. The link directly to the battery is below. Be careful if you go hunting through that website for the battery. For some reason, they still have the 1500 mAh Epic 4g battery listed under our phone.
Here's the link:

I bought a couple like this last year for my TP2. The charger worked fine, but the batteries never really quite fit like they were supposed to. They would work, but I was to worried about what would happen when the batteries heated up and expanded. I thought they might damage the phone. The charger looks identical to the one I have for the TP2.
If you get it let us know what you find!
Ooppss. Yes I did order from the cell guru. Sorry. Above fixed.

This is what I've been lookin for but I haven't found anything besides the one on the Samsung website
I bought some cheap ebay batteries that came with a charger for my evo, it charged at 350mah and worked great, that its whatI would like to find for this phone. GenerallyI can make it a full day on a charge, so if I needed to swap batteries, I dogleg only be charging at night so recharge time really wouldn't mater

I've just been using my Samsung Epic 4G Cradle Charger to charge the batteries for the Epic Touch that I was talking about earlier. It charges the batteries fully and seems to charge just as fast as the 1500mAh Epic batteries. The ONLY drawback, and it is very minor, is that the lid for the cradle charger won't completely close over the battery. And by not completely closed, it only lacks about 1/16 of an inch from closing all the way. And, when I purchased the phone from the Sprint store, the sales manager said using this cradle charger would be fine.
So, I've now got 7 batteries total, 4 1500mAh from the Epic, and 3 1800mAh for the Epic Touch. They all fit, and all are charged with the Epic cradle charger. Yes, the 1500mAh Epic batteries are definitely a snug fit in the Epic Touch, but I've seen no major drawback other than slightly less battery life from them compared to the 1800mAh. No, I haven't had the need to go back and use the Epic 1500mAh batteries since I've received the 2 extra Epic Touch 1800mAh batteries. But, in case I'm in a pinch and away from a charger, I can always fall back on the 1500mAh batteries.
how much more battery do you think i will get from this?

2000 / 1750 = ~1.143
So I'd say about 14% more.
How much more expensive is it? I wouldn't consider it a must-have capacity bump.
its about 14% better...

The official extended battery + required battery door is going for about $35 on eBay nowadays.
Almost an hour extra screen time. Or an extra ~20 hours standby. Depends what you do with that extra 14%.
butter and jelly please...
It's worth the money to get one.
Still fits in my OEM car dock with the pogo pins too.
Get an extra hour of screen time on average.

Does not compute. If it's real 3500 mAh then it would last far longer then a day.... BS battery there IMO, and if it's "slim" then it's fake too. For EUR 25,00, you can get original 2000 mAh with original cover and it lasts more then yours (1 and a half days for me) - oh yeah, wifi and data always on too... If I use 3G Manager I get 2 days out of it easy piece of cake...
I think most of the china made unbranded/china branded batteries are fakes.
thank u man
Hey guys what size of the battery is the largest without an extended cover? I was looking for 3000-3800 in that range. if there is any please let me know.
I think there is no any options without extended cover for 3000+ batteries but hey good luck

the only reason i don't want extended covers because my cases would be rendered useless.. but i will look around to see what I can find.
Shoot a link if you can find one it will be useful since I suffer from same thing and using extended case for 3000mah
Sorry man, form over function. If you're that concerned, get extra stocks and swap 'em
I've bought a 3200 maH NFC Linkdream Battery but when on the phone, the battery discharges faster than original.

Any batteries thats standard size rated higher than 2300mah will probably be false

Most battery are worst than original battery, no matter what size

Look at this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ate-yesoo-4300-ultimate-battery-list-t1843896
so guys which is the best battery that will give extra mah ? , please suggest me one that u hav tryed ?
i think the most trusted non-original battery is the RAVPower 2250mA.
i also suggest an external battery (i bought the 14k mAh one by rav power), about 5-6 cycles of charges for our s3
A number of posters on another forum (link lost) reported being satisfied with the KINPS EB-L1G6LLU, and I recently picked one up from eBay, though XDA rules prevent me form posting the link.
It's standard size for an i9300, claims 3250mAh and is lasting quite a bit better than the standard battery I replaced. No LTE though.
Not sure when this started, but saw (as of this morning) this is $29.99 ($50 off), cheaper than the 5100 mAh pack.

Sweet deal.
£54 on the UK store ($70). We get screwed as per usual.
Meh, I bought the Anker 26 battery pack and it's great. You can also use it to drive in nails and possibly prevent a mugging, so, there's that.
I have this and it is great, a bit heavy but that is not surprising given the mAh.
