I'm at work and I got a customer that just asked me about extended batteries. I told her they're usually fat batteries that come with special battery doors.. but usually at least give 25-50% more battery life. Then she asked if there were any slim extended batteries. I didn't know how to answer her and all my gsearches came up with 3000MaH plus big boys. All I found was he Mugen Power 2000MaH slim battery. You guys know of any other options out there?

I am currently using an Anker battery that I bought off Amazon. It has slightly extended battery life at 2200 mAh. It is the same size as the OEM battery so no custom back case or chunkyness sticking out the back. Anker sells the single batteries or they sell a double pack with an external battery charger on Amazon, quite useful. I believe their products are on sale right now.

The Samsung galaxy nexus 2150 mAh battery fits in the s2 without any problems. Slight bulge on the battery cover though.

Anker 2200 mAh works perfect for me. I've been using 2 I ordered from Amazon for about 4 months. I get about 10 hours heavy usage time. I get well over a day on when I take it easy. Juice defender is an excellent addition to any cell as well. I would advise you to be careful when taking the battery out of the charger so you don't break the plastic that separates the cells. It can cause problems charging through the cell phone. Either way it's a great buy and I highly recommend.

You can charge them either way. Personally I use the external and the phone. I was just saying be a bit careful when you take your battery off the external charger. I have one battery that I can only charge through the external since I broke the small plastic separator... not a big deal though. It still works properly.

Yes, most aftermarket batteries (like the one WangLung linked to), if not all, don't have NFC support as the chip is located in the battery. The same goes for the ATT i777, but not the international i9100.
You can tell on many of these by the 4 contacts- one is for the NFC. This is why a i9100 battery (with only 3 contact heads) will work with a i777 phone (that has 4 contact prongs) - the connector for the NFC would just be touching plastic.
Don't know about the overcharging protection though.
I have the Anker 2200 MAh slim extended battery in my phone and it works great! I usually get an extra hour of on-screen time than I would with the stock battery.

I purchased an Anker 2200 mAh slim batter 2 weeks ago, and I have been nothing but impressed! This battery rocks, I get 2 full days with average/light use (phone calls, 3 hours screen time).

The one for $20 includes two batteries and a charger, while the $12 one only a single battery. For what you get with the $20 one, it never hurts to have more than one battery, especially if you're away from the charger for a whole day and you're using your phone often.
I do not own the Anker extended battery myself, as I am doing fine with the stock battery and I like having NFC ready if needed. But it does seem like a great battery, especially for the price.

Ebay has plenty. should cost you between $10-$20 for two spare batteries and a battery charger
The 1650mah Galaxy S4G batteries are not sold anywhere yet I think. Tmobile sells the original Vibrant ones for $50....and that is a ripoff.
Amazon and Ebay have them for $15. That is ORIGINAL SAMSUNG 1500mah batteries for $15.
Will the extra 150MaH really help that much? Like would we see a big difference or are we just talking minutes?

For those wondering, the extra 150mah will be a 10% in battery life of whatever you are getting now. I get 23 hours currently with moderate usage so thats about 4-5 hours for me.
10% of 23 hours would be 2 to 3.

Haha sorry, you are correct. I can't do math it seems.
Have in mind my battery is old though...it's now 7 months old with being charged every night. The new 1650 will give me more than 10% simply cause my old battery is well...old.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, bigger, cheap battery? I need one since my phone dies all the time lol.
Seidio's 3000mah battery is awesome. It lasts me about 18 hours with very heavy use and adds a rubbery grip to the phone that i love. It makes the phone a bit thicker but it's surprisingly cool looking compared to other extended batteries. It is a 1000000000x's better than having to worry about having a charger every single place i go or remembering to carry one with me for that matter.

Seems to me that if the larger aftermarket brands have trouble meeting the stated mAh rating on their batteries, what more of unbranded ones that goes for an even lower value?

Buy 2 stock batteries and solder them together. Works great.
3500 real mah. I didn't think the 2000 extended batteries would fit under the cover from the Hyperion I had here. I agree though, if I can solder it up in an evening, Samsung certainly could work up something.
hopefully more phones in the future will be like the razr and give us a factory extended battery closer to 3000mah.
Razr maxx when I had it for a week was sick! Hard use all day, charged every other day, seriously insane battery life. If that phone ever gets bootloader unlocked, I would be all over it again.

Have you done this solder thing? Any tips?
if you look at the battery in the phone you can see that there is some space at the top of each terminal, use this space to solder a fine piece of copper wire to a second battery. make sure to solder the batteries in parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative, to retain the same voltage.
i remember taking apart a so called 3500mah battery from ebay and they were just two cheap 1500mah batteries tapped together. Apparently in china 1500X2 is 3500.
Why does everyone want extended batteries? 99% of people have access to a power cord most of the day and just don't need it. Granted, I'm new to the phone, but I really hope I don't need to carry around a huge battery or two. Personally I'd rather charge it more often. Just my own opinion.

As long as you know that I don't see a problem. Spend $10, use it for 6 months, buy another one. Much better than spending $100 for a mugen.

I have purchased 3 of the 2000 mah XPower batteries! They work perfectly fine!! It gives me more life than the stock 1750 mah!
Also its the exact same size as that of the stock battery... So no worries abt an extra back door!
And I got 3 of them + the wall charger for the battery for less than $10 on ebay!!
So now i have totally 4 batteries - 3x2000 + 1x1750 = 7750 mah!!
Definitely worth it rather than holding a clunky phone with an extended 3000+ mah batteries!!

Thanks, I did see that one, although it comes out to $13 including shipping. I was hoping to find a $10 one that included shipping but I think that may be asking for too much So I'll probably just go for the 2 pack + charger for $10 shipped. That will give me 3 batteries total, which should be plenty of juice.

I'm not sure either, sacthegreat was the only person to respond and he/she said that these batteries did have more capacity. I think it would be very difficult to measure this anyway, since there isn't a direct measurement for mah in the phone. And because the difference in capacity is relatively small (~14%) I'm not sure how easy it is to notice in daily use; changes in how the phone is used could mask the capacity difference.
So I've made up my mind, I think that I'm going to try two different brands of batteries (+charger) and see if one is better than the other

The total comes out to $10 shipped, which is the same price as buying the two pack with charger. So hopefully this will increase the odds of getting at least one good battery
I totally missed the shipping in the link I gave, sorry as I had no intention of buying it and didnt realize shipping wasnt included. I would just get the 2 batteries as I dont think the extra 3rd battery is worth like 30% more but if you need a lot of battery, I guess you can go for it. I dont have any experience with this battery but do with Hyperions and those have worked great for me. I just keep the phone charged and make sure the spare is charged as well. If I did get a bundle with 3 batteries, I think it would be difficult to keep track of all of them and remember which one is charged and which isnt. I like the simplicity of one spare battery and the oem one
It's the stock size itself! And i got a little battery life than the stock battery on my phone! Not a big difference, but i could notice it!

How about you start by telling us where you go these batteries? As for NFC, it stands for Near Field Communications. It can be used in a way to pay for items, or bumping phones together to share information, such as pictures, contacts, etc. I am not a fan of it, I always have it turned off in my phone settings.

What, where did you hear that? The only thing I have seen people have to worry about with cheap batteries is how much of a charge they hold and how well they actually work. I have seen batteries malfunction due to ****ty car chargers before though but never just a battery fail while in a phone minus ghost stories from trolls on the internet.

mAh has nothing to do with the amount of current or voltage so I don't know what you mean by manufacturers having large tolerances?? And it wouldn't be detrimental, it would add to your battery life. (as long as the mAh claims are accurate)

these are surely too good to be true? 3200mah in a standard size?
yeah no need for a new back cover
Can anybody say something about how long does the phone works with this battery?
definitely need to get me one of these.
too good to be true
hey i just made some fast research on the seller of the item
i cant link the url apparently because i jus made the account but go ahead and check the ebay sellers' (utigertech) feedback. They are not good.
in short, this battery is fake and some user feedback states that it does not last even longer than the stock 2100mah samsung oem battery
so dont be fooled. If its too good to be true then its probably too good to be true
cheers boys
Testing of MPJ 3200mah Battery for S3
I have purchased one of the MPJ 3200 mah batteries for the Galaxy S3. I have bench tested the battery over 7 days with multiple charges and discharges.
The results are that the battery is approximately 2000 mah it does not even come close to 3200 mah. The sellor is being misleading on the mah and you are better off buying a standard battery as it has 2100 mah and NFC.
I will try and test a few more batteries in the next couple of weeks..

Thanks for running the tests. Aftermarket battery sellers are notorious for jacking up the mAh rating.

Superfake, unless they've developed some new kind of technology. Don't think so though lol

I'm amazed that so many people get sucked in by these fake batteries. There is no battery technology out there that lets you increase the capacity without increasing the size.
Hey everybody, my stock battery isnt really charging anymore. Sometimes when it plug it in it says charging and then hours later it stays at the percentage it was in previous to charging. Then when it does charge, the battery runs out quick. Time to get a new battery I just wanted to ask:
Anker
or
Hyperion?
I think Anker just added NFC (which i need) so i wanted to know which one you guys preferred. I have seen some threads where people liked one over the other, but they were old. Thats why i made this thread to get some fresh and new input on which is better. Is Anker really worth the five extra bucks? Or is the cheaper Hyperion superior? Or is there somebody else who has a stock sized battery that is even better?
Thanks for your help!
I always go with Anker. Used their batteries on my galaxy nexus for a year and they held their charge very well compared to two of my stock Samsung batteries that lasted about half the anker. Didn't experience any battery degradation

I also have great experience with anker. Used em in my evos, and on two laptops. Also bought their laptop chargers. I can't speak for Hyperion, but I assure you that anker products are high quality.

Why the ellipsis? Are you being forced to type that? Are you being held at gunpoint? LEAVE HIM ALONE ANKER EMPLOYEES!!!
Jokes aside, there is a lot of Anker love in this thread, so im going with them. I think they have a decent warranty as well IIRC. ill look into it. Thanks everybody!
I used a Hyperion in my Evo 4g a couple years ago and it worked well. Now I have an Onite 4500mah and its worked great so far.
Anker works for me

Nothing but good experience with anker for me. I bought an external charging pack and it rocks. Their customer service is exceptional as well.
I have both and both work fine. I'd give the nod to anker because it has a better more sturdy extended back case that comes with it.
the hyperion back case cracked within a week in several places. but the battery works fine. if your only care is battery. either. if you care about both case and battery go with anker.
