I'm in search for some spare batteries with NFC capabitlies I think. I'm not sure I've just read that the battery dictates if you have NFC or not? I'm coming from an iPhone 5 so this is all new to me.
A charger that can charge two batteries would be cool too.

are these good? was thinking of getting one as i am going on a travel soon and will take lots of photos and videos with my camera.. so i think my battery will not last long... was thinking that this portable charger might help? can i use it to charge and at the same time use my phone?
i am opting for a mobile charger with aa batteries as aa batteries are easily available and transportable but was wondering how much capacity are the aa batteries? (how much battery life does it provide)
So after ordering two 1900mah spare batteries from ebay I found out that the antenna for the NFC chip is located in the battery. The replacement batteries I ordered do not have the antenna, neither do any of the other batteries I've seen. So I went to the source Samsung.com and they aren't available for the GSM version only the Verizon version batteries were being sold. So where do I find a GSM extended battery? Or any battery with the NFC antenna inside? As for the batteries I ordered? I guess they'd be fine in a jam but to lose features like beam & NFC is unacceptable for the long haul. All feedback is much appreciated.

A seller named shimshop on eBay is selling 2000mah extended batteries that are genuine Samsung, with NFC. There are many threads mentioning this. I bought one as well.

here's the link,

ships from South Korea so it might take 1-2 weeks for arrival
Something to consider is switching over to external USB batteries. Not only are internal batteries phone-specific (and obviously have NFC issues with the Galaxy Nexus), but there is an increasing trend towards using polymer batteries that are able to fit in unusual shapes but are not user-replaceable (easily). I've got a pair of APC UPB10s. They work with all four phones my wife and I carry, as well as my Bluetooth headset, a host of other devices, and I've got an adapter that lets me use it on my infant daughter's bouncer and swing. I can also carry it in my pocket without a cover (or fear my keys will short it out), I charge it via a mini-USB port (micro would be better, but I don't need a battery charger), and it has a 10,000mAH capacity compared to a spare battery running on the order of 2000mAH. The only downside is that if I'm out of juice I become tethered to it until I can recharge, but a little pre-planning lets me charge in my pocket and it still beats needing to power off my phone just to swap a battery.
Just something to think about instead of dropping more money on batteries you'll end up throwing away when you upgrade your phone.
I actually have three oem samsung batteries, 2 standard and 1 extended, and 1 third party brand at 1450mAh, i've also ordered, but not yet received yet a powerocks 7800mAh external battery.
i wont even need to change out the extended battery, or even use the external, so I dont know why i have all these.
Hey guys, I do not know a whole lot about batteries, was just wondering I bought 2 2000 mah cheap batteries that came with a cheap wall charger for charging. I was wondering (I do not think it will) but if I put the 1750 mah factory battery to charge I assume I would do no damage to the battery. Thanks Guys.
If they did their job right, you should be fine. The difference should only be in capacity of the batterys. I wouldnt use any not oem stuff though.
Hi all,
Looking into an external battery pack. Anyone have either of these?
Looking mainly to charge my galaxy s3, ipod touch, galaxy note 10.1, and girlfriends iPhone.
We use our devices alot and usually need some extra power during day.
The more compact the better but wanting at least 10000 mah,so what is yours?
2430 battery gold
I just ordered a used one of these bad boys from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00439G3WS/ref=pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1. 16,000mAh battery, microUSB charging input jack, and five USB outputs.
I'm not sure how I'd feel about buying a used battery. Li-ion batteries degrade in capacity no matter what and I'd want to know some details and the current capacity before forking over any money.

You can check ANKER brand. or many users have also had good experience with hyperion.

Did you manage to decide on one - I've recently picked up an I9305 and want to get at least a couple of spare batteries and an external charger.
I had 2 genuine HTC batteries and 2 cheap Chinese ones for my heavily modded HTC HD2 with an external charger. It was great for staying in hostels as I'd just wait till the battery was running low, swap out the battery and put it on charge - it's a lot less likely for someone to steal a battery and charger than a phone sat on a bed charging with no one around!
I was contemplating picking up a similar set up but I'm a tad more worried about putting cheap batteries in the S3 - I'm in the UK and the Anker batteries are £10 where as in the US they're $10, but the cheapies are £3 - I'll avoid the "genuine Samsung" ones for £4-10.
The Anker batteries seem to get a reasonable write up but I'm more interested in any major complaints regarding the cheapies.
I like Anker too. Antec is good too though.
If you dont mind the additional bulk i could recomend a zerolemon extended battery...
