Does anyone have the powerskin? If so can you replace the battery in it to a higher one.

Does the battery support NFC?

I don't know. I could check it but
I don't think NFC works on my ROM
And if it dident I personally would not care because I never used NFC . NFC or 2x battery.... Id choose 2x
Quick note the battery is quite big and it comes with ( I think) a nice phone back case. Its VERY secure and it protects the camera lens (kinda)

You say you just got it so I'm assuming it's not conditioned yet so that 4 day battery life will soon drop to it's actual capacity

I've heard it both ways but in my experience it slightly decreases after about 3-4 complete cycles.

4 days?! I'm convinced people don't even use their phones.
I'll be happy if I get 12 hours from it.

Is it possible to get some pics? How much thicker does it make the phone? I like the slim profile of the S2 and I don't want to feel like I am carrying around a huge flip phone, or one with a sliding kb. Thanks.

Is anyone using an extended battery?

If so what brand, where did you buy it, how much $ and mah. Also any problems or bugs with it?

3800 mah? do you think it is legit?

Im using the hyperion battery from amazon. And so far so good,

I'm using qcell batteries, there supposed to be 2300mah I think they are 2100 tho because they last as long as stock batteries and you get 2 for 25$ on Amazon I really recommend them

I saw a 4000mah battery on amazon for $16 and was tempted to get it, but just bought the flip cover for my phone so decided against it.
they don't have nfc either so, that's another downer.

a lot of the reviews on amazon say they average around 36 hrs on a single charge with average use.

just ordered this http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Extende...mobile/dp/B0074290B2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top was able to get 2 days with the stock battery so hoping for 4 days with the extended battery
I wish i could just get the hyperion back cover without the battery because it looks like it will be better looking than the qcell back cover

Got it off Ebay for $20. After I bought it I saw a package deal on there that comes with a ton of accessories for $25.

I am going to test these out comes with charger free and exactly the same size as original so even if they crap its only $20 oh well

A link would help.

3200mah, thicker than the regular one?

no way you'll be able to get that kind of capacity without making the battery bigger.. almost all aftermarket battery claiming above 2200mah are selling snake oil, but i'd like to hear back with the results you get.

That's what I was thinking but it's definitely same size it doesn't have nfc and seller recon it has roughly 30% more battery power but I will share results if its shift well I lost $20 but I will try argue with seller and say it's not working right

Usually it came with custom back cover. Standar battery is 2200 mah (or 2400 mah, i'm forgot), so 3200 mah will definetly bigger than original battery.

Not sure if this will work properly because it's a link from the mobile site, but I ordered this a few days ago. Seems to be what the OP is referring to. http://payments.mobileweb.ebay.com/...emId=120959044441&nFB=true&trxId=941382201002

Galaxy s3 with 4200mah Hyperion NFC battery/Tpu case (PICS)

So today my Hyperion battery with NFC came in the mail and I have to tell you I'm quite excited to see how it performs with the battery being so big I was afraid that it would be to thick but I have to say it feels great in the hand has a more premium feel to it adds a little weight to the phone also I would say I'm a very heavy user so this battery should do me while I purchased the whole set up on amazon for about $30 shipped . Now for some pictures

Oops, sorry I didn't read, I thought it was the extended battery for that price. Yeah I have the 9000 mah zero lemon in white.

I didn't want the burden of the built in case so I went with this 2 pack + charger combo. Probably one of the better investments I've made for a phone. There's always two days of extra power ready to go on reserve and the quality matches up with the OEM battery after about 2 weeks of hard usage.
