What about a 3500 mAh battery?

Hi, I would buy an extra battery for my S2, I was thinking about this one:
http://www.ebay.it/itm/180802120154?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Do you think it's better to look to the design of my S2 or buy this battery and charge it every 3 days at least?
I need a battery 'cause I use my phone as a hotspot for my Nexus 7 every time i go out...
Excuse me for my bad english!
Edit 18/09
I received the battery, it seems slimmer than the original (lulz?) here some photos
So, I'm gonna try it. After 2 or 3 cycle I will post the results
Edit 20/09
Ok, after some cycles i think that this battery has a capacity of 1650 mAh like the original, because Battery Widget Reborn signal me 19h of charge like the Samsung one, so I think that's not 2450 mAh.

why would you ask this to other people ? if you feel you need more battery life and can handle a bigger phone then go for it. if not, keep the stock battery and thats it. simple.

I only wanted an advice from you guys...

I don't think that this battery work good. Why you don't buy the 2000mah original from samsung?

Because this one is cheaper and more capable... I also found this one http://item.mobileweb.ebay.it/viewitem?itemId=251145571049#ht_2172wt_1271
This does not kill my design, what do you think about it?

I bought a 2450mAh for my SGS2 and it dramatically improved the battery life.

Ok, I just ordered it. It will arrive in 3-5 working days, with "Battery widget. Reborn!" I get 22h in 100% without wifi, sync, or any connection but 2g. I'll post the results when it arrives.

It's a shame as a new user I can't post a link to it.

If you search "gold 2450mah" on ebay you should find it if you're interested.

I have the 3500mah battery and it makes a big improvement. Ive found out it calabirates its self after a few cycles.

just buy the original 2000mah battery and it will be fine. my sgs2 lasts 2 days now...

I am using this 3500mah battery from last 1 month
Actually it is 2150 mah only as calibrated so many times by Battery Widget software. So it definately increased performance. I got it from ebay from India and it is cheap only 1000 indian rupees
Friends please suggest me about that charging cover type 1000 mah extended battery.

Defective battery?

So I ordered a 1800mah battery for the epic. It fit and everything but literally while charging it and on browser on just data, the battery life decreases while on the charger. It also almost died at school today. On my 1500mah, I ended a 7 hour day with about 30-40%. On the 1800mah, I got down to 20 and below. If kind of makes me mad that I bought a bigger battery and out sucks. And what is a good 1800mah battery for the epic?

The battery from the Epic 4G Touch is your best bet. And as for it dying on the charger, it's the charger, not the phone or battery. I know this because it's happened to me. Try a different charger

Yes I ordered the Samsung epic 4g touch battery. And sadly it isn't my charger because I am using the same charger on my 1500mah battery and its charging fine.

Not always the charger.... When I'm on 4G and trying to use Google Maps even plugged in I drain my battery. If I shut GMaps down, it starts charging as per normal.
It was really frustrating when I first got the phone, as I was in the process of moving to Denver and knew where nothing was. Now, at least, I know the area well enough to just have it on at the start or end of trip.

The Anker samsung battery (search amazon for it .. ~$10 and 1800mah) has shown good results for me.

it is normal for the phone to consume more power than the charging pack can output....... you might not of had this problem because the 1500ma battery uses less energy than a 1800mah battery(hence the extra life..) if you charge with a USB 1A charger it should charge the new battery better. also, turn of 3g and watch your battery charge about 2times faster than with it on.

Anker
And yes it does perform better. I have 2 1800 mAh Anker batteries and there amazing I got a deal for 2x 1800mAh batteries and the charger from Anker. For 20$ on amazon don't listen to reviews they said the charger is bad but mine has performed well for several months and still is. I. Had gotten 4 days before on CM9 with minimal use and on regular basis I get 12 to 18 Hrs with 3 Hrs of screen on time

This is the one I ordered -- getting about 20 hrs of battery life vs. 12 hrs on my stock (2 year old) battery. Non-OEM batteries are typically a hit or miss, but amazon's return policy is dead simple and free, so IMO worth a shot.

No problem, any other battery that isn't by Samsung would generally be non OEM

Average charging time of dinc2

It takes about 6 hours for my dinc2 to charge from about 10% to 100%. That is a huge amount of time. I had a Nokia previously and it got charged in just 1&half an hour. So i was wondering is this normal or is there something wrong with my phone or charger.???

So heres my verdict regarding the slim zerolemon battery
It is good as the oem battery aswell!
I got 4.3 hours of screen with 15 % left with the battery using from 9 am to 7 pm!
I was on 4G LTE like almost all the time coz we have no wifi here where im taking my vacation. I constantly like every 10 mins checking FB, amazon, ebay, flipboard, AC forum, xda forum, bleacher reports app, espn app, some gps, internet, call and messaging and just couple of minutes of gaming. And my default brightness is also 40%!!
So ill give it a solid 10/10 score!
Then for the Onite slim battery
I think its around 8-10% less capacity than the oem and zerolemon battery, but its aight for $10
I'll give it a 7.5 rating
* Dont get the hyperion one, it sucks. Or maybe I just got a defective one but i dnt think so.
Its adviseable to stick with Zerolemon

I got what I'm pretty sure is a brand-new device (there's no refurb markings or stickers or anything like that that) in some kind of cardboard frame, a backplate, a battery, USB cable and wall wart. It also came with the Warranty guide and Quick Start booklet. It was shipped in a plain brown box with the AT&T logo on it.

Is my battery nearly dead?!

My battery life is getting real poor.
I charge it every night and top it up at east twice every day at work.
I do use it a lot, and sync everything and have Google now running. I like all the features though.
I am rooted running 4.2.2 jelly beer ROM. I don't think its the ROM as it seems about the same as the other 4.2.2 ROMs I've had.
This mornings drive to work I streamed 20 mins of music from Google play via 3g and I was down to 68% when I got to work?! This seems a bit excessive to me!
Is there any app where I can test the battery or something?
Battery is a year old. Last battery used to turn the phone off when using camera flash. This one hasn't had this problem though.
Any help appreciated

Your statement here is proof that your battery is at the end of its life. Any battery has a finite life, and I have found that if you buy a cheap li-ion battery it won't last long time.
I bought 2 cheap li-ion batteries for my HTC legend and they only lasted 6 months each before experiencing exactly the same issue you have.
So I can only assume your "new battery" was a cheap too.
Usually the heavier the battery the better it will be.

Second battery was also an official HTC battery. I did get it from eBay though so its possible it could be fake? It looked the same and serial nos all matched etc...
I'm thinking about changing phones pretty soon but I'll need a spare phone so maybe I'll eBay another one.
In fairness I have hammered this phone. The amount of use it gets is immense!

I'd go through Amazon if I were you, they seem to be the most legit. Or buy a reputable extended battery there's also a thread somewhere here with a mod that utilises the battery from the Sensation if you're comforable dabbling with some hardware hacks

Got one from eBay for 5.60. Said original, looks legit and world of difference.
Hopefully be OK!
