As the title says I'm looking for the best extended battery for the SGH-T989 that doesn't require me having to change the back cover or case. Meaning it has to be the same size as the standard battery just with more mAh.

I've read about that Anker battery. Is that company reliable?
I've used Anker for my original Galaxy over a year and just got one for my S2. Although I have no hard stats they seem to last longer. Price is right too. 2 batteries and external charger for $20. Keep in mind, no NFC.
Mugen is very dependable. I've used them since the Nexus One days. http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...rint-galaxy-nexus-sph-l700-galaxy-s-ii-l.html

True although in my time with the s2 (I got it launch day) I've yet to use nfc Once!
Ya I got the anker 2200s came with 2 batteries and a universal charger
the universal charger can charge battery using wall or micro usb
and has a standard usb port to charge another at the same time
the batteries are exact same size as samsungs no case close issue
nfc or not you can't beat the price under 25$ shipped
been swapping them a lot worth every penny!

Thanks, as I'd personally like to see how the battery performs. I have heard of people purchasing larger batteries and have actually received worse results than the stock battery offers, which is rather odd in my opinion. But, from what I have read, Anker produce some quality products so I have high hopes for this battery. I'd ideally like an even larger battery, but then the added weight becomes ridiculous or pricing becomes too much for me to afford.
I've had Anker batteries for other devices and they've been ace, not got round to ordering one for the Note myself yet, but I will do.

I don't trust about other internal battery. I use external battery in other case. While my life battery is 20 hours in 3g.
I have the Mugen 5400 battery and I truly cannot fault it. More than double the capacity of stock and it shows in my daily usage. Build quality also to notch. Yes their prices are steep but you get what you pay for and their customer service is excellent.

I bought 2 for a total of $16 and they work great. I also bought a 3 dollar charger (800mah) that charges them in a about six hours. The ankers charge fine inthe phone an have all the attributes of the oem battery
I've been using Anker batteries for about 3 weeks now and they work great. They last just slightly longer than the stock battery and charge efficiently. I would recommend them to people that are always on the go and can't always get a place to charge their phones. I charge one battery by itself and one in the phone at night, and the next day I am able to swap when the first battery drains. Also there's a peace of mind with having a fully-charged battery always available.

Hi everybody,
I have been searching for this Anker battery on German Amazon, and I have found out that there is a 2800mah Anker battery for this phone. Stock size.
You can see the link here
It's not much more expensive, and if it really was a 2800mah battery than it would be great.
Does anyone know anything about it? Do you think it's just a 2700mah one with a fake sticker on it?
Let me know your thoughts.
I got the 2700mAH battery from Amazon. So far it has been slightly better capacity than the original and no problems. Good value at £7.99.

I've tried aftermarket batteries of that small of difference, I personally believe samsung makes their stock batteries of higher quality than the 10$ dollar ankers or the likes therof. Therefore, I think its a wash as far as daily phone hours of usage. But I'm pretty confident the cheap aftermarkets won't last as long in the long run. I think the best option is just get a replacement battery, have it charging all day, use your phone to your hearts content, no extra bulk. Then at around 7 or 8 when its getting low if you had a big usage day, pop out the battery, put in the new one. We should be grateful as g3 users that we have this option eh.

Even if Anker claims 2200, it's true rating is under 2050. Stick to stock.

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.
Anyways, I appreciate you taking the time to look. Thanks!

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!

I always use the supplied wall charger that comes with these so Idk, lots of the extended battery reviews on here are the same voltage & they seem to be doing pretty good.
It's not the charger which matters but the phone itself which charges the battery, it's aiming for 4.3V as that's what it thinks it should have as the stock battery is designed for that. Although I haven't heard a single case of these 4.2V batteries having problems with being charged with 4.3V, that last part can be changed in the kernel and the charger chip driver. I'm getting some knock-off cheap battery myself so I'll see how it goes. This particular one seems quite steep in price @ $30, with proven ones like the PolarCell 2400mAh going out for half the cost.
you won't see the affect right away from overcharging. I use to play with a lot of batteries from RC, overcharging something we use to do get slight edge and boost at start. but it does have long term damage to batteries, specially lithium based. some cheaper batteries even catch fire.

Li-ion batteries have an overcharge protection circuit built into the battery pack itself and should prevent this from happening. If everything is working as intended, it should be impossible for the phone to overcharge a battery. That's not to say the protection circuit couldn't fail itself.
And I too played with RC batteries and you really can't compare those batteries with these. Different types of battery with different methods of charging.

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.

Anyone know how reliable some of these aftermarket batteries are? I've been reading that some don't have NFC support and overcharge protection. Both huge no-nos in my book. Especially the latter.

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.

No NFC support in most (if not all) aftermarket batteries

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.

Anker battery is awesome
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).
Well worth the investment for 2 battery's + charger for around $25!

Has anyone tried this one?

Thinking of getting it but I am also debating the anker one. Does the anker battery have problems with over charging? because I usually keep my phone on the charger all night

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.
