Are there any good 3rd party slim batteries? Or is stock the best so far?

Anker 2200mah. You won't notice any improvement though. To do that you will have to go up a size.

It has been a while since the GS3 was released now, surely the same size battery size can go up to 2400 to 2500 now.

Mugen Power 2300 mAh Slim Extended Battery <--- this is the exact answer you are looking for. Provides an additional 10% or so of usage to your phone without bulking up the size. At 40$~ ish it is slightly expensive, but it is the best solution for those looking for a better battery without bulking =)
just got a 2900 mah battery from ebay
Does it still fit with the stock back and is it from china?

Sorry to let you know but you just got ripped off. I bought a "2600" and a "2900" maH battery from eBay as well in the past, only to find out that they last me around 8 hours with about 1 hour and 30 minutes of screen on time - the true mAh in these batteries is around 1400-1700, if I had to take a guess. You can peel off the sticker on the 2900 battery you ordered and it will probably say the true capacity of the battery imprinted onto it. As I said in one of my earlier posts, the only "real" slim extended batteries are the mugen 2300, anker 2200, and hyperion 2200, in which the mugen comes out on top from personal experience =)

FTFY.
There is no way you believe that a random Chinese company making deals on eBay has somehow figured out a magical unicorn battery technology that allows them, not only to completely outdo Samsung in capacity, but also undercut them in price.

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

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.

I'm looking for a higher capacity battery that will fit in my Otterbox Defender case for my SGH-T999.
My current battery is the stock 2100mha battery.
I would like one that is of any higher capacity, but will still fit in the battery compartment.
ZeroLemon puts out a great product. I own their largest extended battery for the GS3 and largest slim extended battery for the GS3.
Check out the slim extended battery here.
It's 2300mAh and fits just like the stock battery in the stock battery cover. But it lasts considerably longer than stock.

This is a good deal and I use these from time to time when I want a break from the 7000ZL lol. My girl uses one every day and will last her all day where stock would not. It says it has NFC but I haven't tested it so it should work. They sell a single battery for about 9 bucks well as one with no NFC. Worth a look at in my opinion. The 2300 fit in the stock battery cover as well.

No, it doesn't have NFC.
If you read the customer review in the Amazon page:
"At first glance the batteries looked a bit ghetto because somebody took a sharpie to erase the "NFC Enabled" label on each battery (because NFC is NOT enabled)"
I wanted to buy one of these but I don't like the lack of NFC

That aint bad for 20$. Two batteries and a charger (that I will never use)
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll keep em in mind. I'm still gonna attempt to find an extended life battery around 3000mAh+ with a rugged case that will fit it. I almost went for the Trident one, until I found out the battery in it is actually weaker than my stock one.
I just love the screen protector on my otterbox, I dont really want a case without one.
Well yeah, if you are not interested in NFC it's a very good deal for 20$
Check this out guys! They have ZL battery now for Ogpron in amazon!

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.
Hey does anyone know a good slim extended battery for the s4 that wont make it bulky? And also how do u tell if your battery isnt good anymore thanks
Also interested in this. You can usually see the phones battery percent via the settings in the phone. I get about to about 50% after a 8 hour work day, only using my phone on breaks via wifi. But to test it, no idea.

Check to see if the battery has any bulge/swelling on it. If it's not charging correctly like long charge time, check the charger too.

According to the listing on eBay the 3000 mAH model does not have nfc. But to the OP just go on eBay type galaxy s4 3000mAH battery nfc you'll get some results.
