Extended battery recommendation? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with an extended battery for our phone. Have been trouble finding any information on brands and availability etc. Running the stock battery now and no matter what kernel and rom combo I use I cannot get the phone to last the entire day.. Thanks in advance for any help.

Have u tried using better battery stats to see what's eating your battery up so much?

Yeah. Nothing is. I've been trying different things for months. Clean installs.. Stock, CM, AOKP. Different kernels. Different governors under volt etc. Still lasts till around 6pm every day.

i get up for work at 3am and my s3 is unplugged from that point till about 3pm when it needs to be plugged in (15% or less). 12 hours is fine with me because in that time i've had LTE on, google now and all gps on, multiple email accounts and apps syncing every hour and texting also. if you're doing about the same, then you might have to do a bunch of compromising to get better battery time. i'm not willing to do that.

So I am guessing that there is no extended battery then?

There are extended batteries but just look around. To my knowledge there are not currently any stock extended batteries available (hopefully soon) but there are plenty of others. Just do some research first. If you do not mind giving up the slimness of the phone (which you are probably not worried about for any decent extended battery) you could get a case such as mophie jucie or powerskin which have built in batteries (and I think they are NFC friendly). While it is not an extended battery you can turn them on to recharge the battery and effectively getting you throughout your day.

Theres a slim 2300MaH Battery, called ZeroLemon relatively cheap 20$ for two of em and a spare charger. Then theres the stock samsung 3000MaH which includes a different battery plate since its bigger. To get better battery life, try a few full charges/cycles with certain kernel settings and rom. Then theres also huge 4000MaH + batteries which i refuse to get because well, it takes away the user experience. If you really must have gps/autp sync and those background task, I'm really going to suggest you go back to apple. They do one heck of a job for that. Battery life is a lot better on iOS with those background task's for some reason.

Zerolemon has a 7000mah battery around 30$

I don't have any experience with the battery myself so i would read the customer reviews.

I have and have used Seidio's ext. batt's on my last two Galaxy phones. Somehow, they made the battery for the S3 thinner than was on the S2. Also Seidio's back plates have their "soft touch" coating which gives you grip or non-slip properties.

Google genuine Samsung galaxy s3 extended battery. Mobile fun has them in stock for about $60. Really slim profile. I had a qcell extended battery that I pop in when traveling $25.

Buy a backup OEM battery... Best option as it will pay for itaelf if you must have it last throughout the day
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

If you don't care about the size get the 4500 mah one from gorillagadgets.com. like $25. I've had it since September and I get 4-5 hours screen time with Facebook, 3 emails syncing, Netflix, and texting all day. If you follow their instructions on breaking in the battery, you should be good. Best $25 I've spent on this phone

I picked up the Anker 4400 mAh battery a few months ago for about $25 and it's been great. I can get almost 2 days out of it depending on my usage and if I'm on wifi or HSPA+. Around 7 hours of screen on time as well.

Anker 4400 stats.
Regular use day for me

@shakewell, what's the total screen time on during this discharge? i'm curious as i'm using my stock 2100 mAh battery and get this same battery life with 5+ hours of screen on time.
kernel/kernel tweaks make all the difference

Just buy the lemon...
From what I can gather, the ZeroLemon batteries are the way to go. I've heard nothing but great things about them and if you can get past the added form factor, the 7000mAh battery is able to last more than an entire day, if you manage things properly. They sell out fast on Amazon, but they are cheaper than most any other battery for the S3. And on top of all that, you'll be supporting an American business!
You can find them on Amazon.

Anker 1700mah battery

Has anyone tried these extended batteries? The 1900mah Anker batteries are popular for the Evo 3D but I just did a search in this forum and couldn't find anything.

A few folks in the office here got them for the Evo's and one let me try it for a few days. HUGE improvement over the crap stock battery. I would definitely recommend it.

My friend ordered it but has not received it yet. I use the same brand in my Evo 3D and it's noticeably better than stock.
I replaced my original evo 4g battery that was over two years old with this one and I noticed a big differents in battery life. Also only payed $15 for 2 battery's and a wall charger off eBay.

I just posted a thread about these actually, I highly recommend, amazing batteries.
I've been using one of these (bought the 2 pack with charger) for roughly 6 months, and have been very pleased with it.
I can't confidently say that it is much better than a NEW stock battery, but considering my stock battery was over a year old, the Anker definitely improved my battery life, vs the stock old one.
I was hesitant about buying a non OEM battery, but I'm very pleased with mine, and for the cost was well worth it.
I have to +1 these being amazing batteries. Got mine for $13.99 on ebay with a desktop charger. I have gotten 24+ hours out of one charge. Highly recommend it!
I should be getting mine 2 pack with wall charger on monday. Can't wait!!!

Got it in today!!
The charger is interesting, it should fit just about any battery as the prongs will slide left and right, where ever the + and - is on the battery. Then also the bottom part that holds the battery is on a spring and you just pull down the length of the battery.
It charged one of the to 89% pretty fast, probably an hour. Had to take it off for a emergency call.
Ill be able to give a better test soon. I need a fresh flash of CM7 anyways, too much bog and FC's. Probably not good when the main process FC's.
I am still running the same battery that I took off the charger when I made that post. I am at 1 day and 3 hours with 30% left. I haven't really been making any calls, just some txts, most of it was me playing around and flashing different things to make my ICS experience better, using drew's P7. The battery went down fast from 89% till about 60%, but the other battery I got took about double the time to fully charger than with how long this battery has been in my phone. I am excited so far, looks very promising. I think this was a worthwhile purchase, simply for the wall charger, to charge any phone battery!
I'm getting pretty great results with these batteries. I haven't been using my phone too much and lots of idle time. I took a fresh battery off at midnight and went right to sleep. I slept most of the day. When I got up it was at 81 I think after 14 hours. I used my phone here and there for some texts and some small phone calls. I started installing lots of apps and played around with Widgets and settings, it popped down to 59 around that time. I installed juice defender also and I think it only went down a few notches all night till the morning. I haven't done much today besides a couple dozen texts a short and then 20 min call. I'm updating a bunch of apps right now while typing this, its lagging a bit so its slow and took me a few min and lost 1% but I'm also updating 11 apps at once
I am running drews P7, I have been running unvisible tweaks, but I just installed the nifty tweak zip and popped in a fresh battery, so this may be even better battery life now that I got juicedefender and the nifty tweaks. Cant wait to see! Im also thinking about running one of the KANG CM7 roms, as I already got about this with stock battery, I think it could last 3 days if I went back to CM7. God, I can't wait for CM9 and custom kernels!!
Here is what my current up time is.

I don't believe in aftermarket batteries from my many experiences of it messing up my phone...it has to do something with the inconsistency of the voltage. That's just me though...
If there is a good reliable aftermarket battery out there I'm open to check it out....
I ordered one should get it by monday the 6th. will test it out and reply with results it was only 20 bucks so my hopes are low but we will see how it turns out
Its be great if this actually worked...especially the slim

should be not bad given at this price range.
My friend got one of these. Its the same as the 12 dollar GTMax's, no diff from stock really.
Mugen batteries are probably worth the investment if you use your phone that heavily.
that's odd, cuz i got the qcell galaxy nexus one and also a gtmax version. the qcell one last longer than the gtmax one. perhaps it's luck of the draw. I'm going to give this one a try and see how it is
What is your conclusion after using that battery for a month? Is it better that stock one or worse?

experience with qcell 3650mAh
I tried this battery out for about 3 weeks and did get noticbly longer battery life about 23 hours+ with heavy to moderate usage so IMO it was worth it ($10) altough i hated the extended battery cover the battery did keep my phone on relatively longer. only issue after about a month I cant charge the battery with my cable anymore, not sure if its the cable or not so im back to stock.
Extended battery 23-25 hours of heavy usage
Stock battery 12-15 hours of heavy usage
Hope this helps Hit thanks if if does

Here is my update on this Qcell battery from Amazon I have been texting and browsing the web and playing crime city pretty heavily and have gotten fantastic results from this battery. I am using the juggernaut 5.0 ROM and have no complaints about it yet. Does not get excessively hot while chafing using the OEM cord that came with my galaxy s2. Hopefully I answered some of your questions everyone have a good weekend!

Post some results.
Is the 2300 a Galaxy S II battery? That's what I'm seeing in some goog searches. Looks like their replacement for ours is 1850. But if it fits, hey.
Lucky you, i had to stick a piece of paper on the top left of my battery pocket in my phone in order for the contacts to align.
There's actually a thread about this battery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445938
So far I'm getting a little over 24 hours with little-moderate use on ICS passion.
In the wide majority of test I've seen of Andida batteries, they always add somewhere between 30-50% of their actual capacity. In short, just about every third party manufacturer overrates their batteries and only the OEM numbers are accurate

Apparently some people can't get the contacts to line up correctly and the battery doesn't work out for them.. so it might be a gamble for you.
1800/1500 = 20% increase
2300/1500 = 53% increase
I'm pleased with the batteries performance and understanding of the issues related to fitment. For $20...it was well worth it to me. My phone can stay away from the charger throughout the day.

I understand on paper it should be a 53% increase compared to the stock battery, but is it showing a 50% in reality? I know samsung batteries are legit and should be close to the labeled mah rating. I don't know a thing about andida. I just don't to end up with a battery that might not even fit and is only really putting out like 1900mah.
This is a huge improvement for me. My phone used to be dead after 10 hours unplugged.
Another oddity since putting in this battery, my GPS started to work and lock on again... maybe the pressure it puts onto the phone helped the contact...weird positive side effect for me (I've not bothered to do the GPS contact fixes yet)
Sorry I don't have the fancy Battery stats screens that others seem to have :\
My 2300 andida is running about 14 hours as well. I can get through most of the day without thinking about my charger.
I'm on ics one comsics rc3.1 and I get more than 36 hours on light use, more than 24 hours on moderate use and like eight hours on real heavy use. My heavy usage usually involved full account sync and surfing the web on the mobile network non stop with screen on 75-90% of the time.

Even of the contacts don't fit, you can put paper on the top left corner of the battery socket. And somehow, the battery doesnt need the paper later on. I think the battery gets "used" to the battery socket...

Screen on result
stock: 2 hour and 5 min
Seido: 3 hours and 40 min
Mugen: 4 hours and 12 min
Note
-Mugen has a kick stand
-seido is 30 bucks cheaper
-stock blow ass compare to these big boys
-case on the seido is better feel but thats MHO
- when two battery are together the Mugen is heavier but not uncomfortable
- the two battery fit in my pocket fine, but i dont wear skinny jeans like gay ass guys or cute ass girls.
-Mugen case look like a bossss! (for 100 ya bet your ass it is)

No I understand that you did a more realistic test but at the same time you did a test on the most optimized setting designed for batter draining. So I wanted to know how much difference it would make in a normal day to day use which I imagine it would be a amplified difference of just mere 40 minutes. For example I have a seidio which last me about a day and a half. And you say mugen lasts only about 1-2 hours more? Probably not worth the extra 30 bucks no?
As far as mah goes I would imagine the 2 most reputable battery companies would keep their integrity intact and not lie about it. I dont really see the reason to because you can find so many different brands having 3400+ mah at a much lower cost so it tells me the material to mass produce these are not that costly.

to answer your first question that 40 min under extreme testing so in real world for me personaly would be 1-2 hours. I use my phone pretty hard core, they die within 18 hour so for you the mugen may last 2 day, its all really relative to how much you use.
well heres the thing, how do you test for battery effective mah, you cant, you just have to trust them. Seido claim their battery is 3800 which is 100mah less than Mugen but they perform 10-15% less than the Mugen capacity which lead me to believe their battery is 3500 mah at most.

Will the anker batteries for the vibrant work with our phone?

Hey I was curious if the 1800mah anker batteries will work without issue with our phone. I know I won't gain anything using those over the OEM but I lost mine and now I'm stuck using the 1500MAH batteries from my old vibrant and it really sucks. Plus these are only about $8 more than the OEM plus it comes with a second battery and charger for the battery itself so I can keep a charged spare with me at all times

I dont know why they wouldn't. If it works with the original epic/fascinate etc then it should be the same size battery as our phone.
Yes they work just fine! Anker got rave reviews over in the Evo forums, thought I'd give em ago with my ET. Just received these (free shipping) today. So far, so good!

Yeah I am coming from an evo 4g that's where I read about the anker. So far has been any difference at all in the life vs OEM?

Initial full charge drain has been markedly better than my 1 year old stock battery (whatever that's worth), but in all fairness I really can't comment on life as I literally just got them this afternoon.
They do fit just like the OEM & my phone powered up & has been running just fine for the last 5 hours.
I'm going to have to pick up a pair. I really wanna go back and run the ASOP JB but I was losing far to much battery life even with the placebo diet pill. Hell even with Calk's v3.0 I am using a lot of charge quick I can only assume its because I'm having to use the 1500MAH instead of the OEM 1800

I forgot to mention also, as an added bonus, you can adjust the charging pins & mounting plate/bracket on the included wall charger to accommodate practically any phone battery. Think of it as a universal phone wall charger.
Awesome I'm gonna grab a pair on Tuesday when I get some money

I'm hoping they work now after reading some more and it says NOT compatible with my phone. Hoping I didn't waste $25 lol

I also saw that before I ordered these, & after doing some research, decided to take a chance on them anyway. No regrets here at all. In fact, they're working really good. Been about a week since I received these & after about 5-6 charge/discharge cycles on each battery now, mine are working as good (possibly marginally better) as stock was when new. :thumbup::beer:
my oem battery seems to be going to crap so im taking a gamble on the anker battery. I guess for $10, its worth it.

Same thing happened to me with the flickering screen (at around 50-60% battery), then shutoff. Took the plunge on Ferocity Mobile battery from ebay and so far so good. Did 3 complete full charge/discharge cycles and they perform like a new stock battery.Two batteries and a charger for $10 delivered. Great deal.Took about 3 days to get across country.
Good results. I'm curious how long those batteries will last. I bought a few no name Chinese batteries and they capped out after a month. I'm sure these Anker batteries are made in China too but hopefully it'll be better.

The evo 4g community where I came from swore by these batteries I'm pretty sure these are legit

Time will tell. Let's report back around Halloween and see where they stand. I also ordered some straight from China batteries about 3 weeks ago, but have yet to receive them.
Did anyone buy their batteries from laptopmate on amazon? I got an email Thursday and the shipping number provided still isn't tracking anything on its not Sunday

I got mine from there & it never did show any tracking info. They did, however, show up in my mailbox in 2 business days after I placed my order so....

Might be a good investment for me. I have my old(er) Vibrant with an epicly cracked screen with me if I'm out more than a day (or trying ROMs) to charge and switch.

Not a bad idea.
I have to say, it's definitely handy to have a fully charged battery available if you might need to do a nandroid or flash a ROM in a moment's notice and you're getting low on the battery that's in your phone.
Anker batteries are VERY good. They outperform my stock battery almost every charge. just be sure to properly charge them and discharge them the first few times you use it.
Your mileage may vary,
There is another brand, hyperion, and while generally i was getting ok battery life with these batteries, maybe, on par with the stock battery, they have turned to junk and last maybe 8 hours if im lucky. they just seem to drain even when your phone is idle. I highly recommend anker batteries for a good replacement.
Here you go guys. Not too bad. Running the Anker:
