Has anyone tried this battery? It says it fits original cover

If it fits they are lying on the specs.

Using one now on my Note 2. I put it in 2 days ago. First full charge i got 1 hour more than stock battery. Going to report back after a few cycles in a couple days. My stock battery is 3100 mah/ Sporting Persistance is 4380...Will let you know
Just remember you won't have NFC capabilities, if you ever use it for anytime.
I dont use nfc. Bit how would that work anyway? The antena is on the phone itself how does the battery make nfc work?
I bought this battery to switch back and forth so if i did use nfc would it work when i put the stock battery back in?
Does nfc work with the zero lemon setup?
Sorry for all the questions just dont really know much about how it works but i do know what its for.

The NFC chip is actually in the battery ;p. If you look at the Samsung battery it'll tell you on there.

My stock sami battery doesnt say anything about nfc....my wifes gs3 says near field communication. So i guess i never had nfc option to begin with.
Is there any way to test the mah on a battery? After 5 charge cycles ot lasts about 2 to 3 hours longer and about 30 min more screen time than my stock battery. Its kinda close to call but i dont think it is the full 4380 mah they claim. I would love to know for sure though.

Update...
Few days of use now and this battery is horrible. I tested with stock battery about 7 months old. Tryed doing exact same thing with both batteries as close as i could. I also tested both playing candy crush saga for hours straight with same exact apps runnimg in background all times using greenify.
Conclusion is persistance is a complete lie. Stock battery blew it away in every category. Do not purchase waste of money. I hate scammers like this. Gonna send them email if they even have one.
DONT BUY!!!!!!!!

I guess i missed that part of the deceiving advertising. Trying to think of a reason why anyone would want a bat that lasts half as long as the stock. They deserve to be sued.
That explains why it lasts half the life of the stock. LOL what a joke. Hope people find this before they fall for the same nonsence i did.

I have several aftermarket batteries I tote around with me. I also have external chargers for them that just plug into the wall, and I place the battery into the charger. Its not OEM, but if your in the middle of something, a spare battery to finish what your doing is invaluable in a pinch.

Hi, I will soon receive my SGS II and I normally use 2-3 batteries for my current Nexus S to get by a single day. I'm wondering where can I buy SGS II battery and separate charger? I've searched everywhere but can't find one. Without extra battery my new SGS II will be kind of useless for me. I Know it has 1650 mah, but it just means I can get by with just one additional battery instead of two . Thanks.
usually stuff like battery's comes along a short while after a product has been released .

When you see what you have to do to get off the battery cover I predict you'll be wanting you go that less than three times in a day.

I personally would prefer a 3500mAh extended battery, like the ones available for SGS1 and HTC EVO. The price of these units is also reasonable.
cryptic, yes you are right, I have SGS II now for couple of days and removing the cover and putting it back on seems to be a pain in the A**. But looking at the battery life, it seems i'll be fine with one more battery and I'll just buy one more back cover should it break due to opening again and again which seems very likely.
tamas, I have been using extended batteries before and really loved it, but SGS II is the slimmest phone in the world, I don't want to make it look fatter and bulkier. I just like it being slim and very light. It may be even lighter then my Nexus S.
Don't worry about the back cover breaking or anything.

Yeah, there is always a tradeoff... The powermonkey and other similar solutions are even heavier and need more space. Right now I have a powerbank with 4xAA batteries, capable to charge any USB-powered unit - it serves well, especially if you want to charge different devices.
However it's ~300g and you have to hassle with the cable, which is not so easy e.g during trekking.

There are plenty of 3000-3500mAh batteries available for the SGS-1, let's hope they will come up very soon with SGS-2 compatible batteries.
P.S.: if anyone knows that one is available, please give a note here.
Weird. I got at least 20 hours out of a standard battery on the 9000.
Hopefully there will be a battery available soon, always prefer to have a spare on me, just in case...

I'll need one in about a month. There are great stuff on ebay for the SGS-1, such as 2x3500mAh batteries+cover in a bundle. I want something like that for my sgs2...

Nope, the one I am looking for is a big system battery, which needs a new back cover (~twice as thick as the original battery).
The phone gets thicker, but finally I can hike all day long using GPS with one charge and no hassle with external batteries/cables.
After reading a few reviews on here about the generic eBay extended batteries and the overpriced Mugen extended one I decided on the Hyperion 5000 mAh battery.
It was available on Amazon for ~20 bucks + $4.99 shipping: http://amzn.to/xtT3Sf
Performance so far has been GREAT, twice as much as the stock battery probably more - i got 6+ hours of screen time! I would definitely recommend it over the generic eBay crap and the good but WAY overpriced Mugen battery
Here is what it looks like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MjW2qYD62A
that is probably....the biggest....phone battery...that i have ever seen in my life
Holy crap that really is huge but I might entertain the idea of it because it'd be nice to have double the battery lol

I have not seen this on eBay yet, but it is available on Amazon (see the link in the original post). With the Amazon option available, I wouldn't buy it from eBay in case you want to return it.
It is a big battery- twice as big as the regular one. But I gotta tell you though i have gotten some crazy screen-on and general use time from it. I am going to try to make a usage numbers screenshot in the next week or so when i take my Note on a 4 hour flight

I agree, and well-priced too. I may get one just for plane trips and when I will be away from civilization for a while. My Sat-phone can take the comms, my Note can take the gaming!

BTW, when I say plane trips, these can be of the 24-hour variety. One of the down-sides of living downunder
Personally I opted for a second battery plus the samsung charger. When one is on, the other one is charging... And I can bring it with me in the charger AND use it as a stall to watch TV...

Wow! That thing is certainly thick..!
I'm still waiting on the arrival of my Note, but have a look at the "Tecknet iEP387".
Can't post links cos I'm still a noob ^^
To me it makes more sense that I can just sling an external battery pack in my bag to plug in whenever I feel I might need the extra juice. That and of course the 7000mAh capacity is higher (and can do all my devices).
the biggest battery i have seen....so juicy...might getting 1 soon

Stand by time? Not by a long shot. Two official batteries at 2500 will have at least the exact same capacity of an aftermarket 5000, if not more.

Hey guys,
So I got my hands on this big boy..and tested it ..and of course made a video lol.
Let me start saying im not a fan of extended batteries but they do the job. I had both..seidio and mugen...and the performance is very close. however, the mugen looks less bulky and feels better
It lasted me a total of 2 days 5 hrs using every resource on it. I was very happy with the results..but 100 bucks?? come on! I think if they dropped the price to like 70 bucks this will sell like crazy
Hope you guys enjoy the video

I am wondering the same thing.
As far as the Mugen extended battery, I love it.. its as good if not better then Iphone 4 battery and lets me go 2 days without charge. The only thing I dislike is the backcover and how hard its to find a case for the phone. Almost makes me want to put back the 2100mah battery in but performance is so bad

How much do they pay you for posting this? All those batteries out there for around $20 or even lower are rubbish. I'veen so many 'reviews' about cheap ass batteries of even $9, saying they really last twice as long. Bullcrap. I bought myself such a 3800mah and tested it with Antutu. Compared to the stock battery it only has 40% more capacity. Far from AT LEAST (2x1750=3500mah) double the capacity.

has anyone checked out the 3250 mah battery? just search "3250 samsung galaxy s3" on ebay. sorry i can't post links atm. It doesnt come with a battery door cover so i don't think it will add any bulk
Hey over there,
I've tested Mugen, Seidio, Acase, qCell, and many, many more on the original Galaxy S (Epic for Sprint,) the Fascinate (Galaxy S for Verizon,) Epic Touch 4g (Galaxy S2 for Sprint,) and have been toying around with the S3 for Sprint and some friends' phones for about a month.
I'd say you have really two choices... drop the big money and buy ONE Mugen or Seidio, or just buy a couple qCell batteries. Of the five/six qCells I have used and/or tested on my friends' phones, I'd have to say that only one varied in charge capacity from 10-20% of the advertised charge capacity (4200mAH)... and that was after two months of usage that was inconsistent.
For $20 and standard Amazon Prime shipping, I'd just buy two qCells and call it a day. Even after a month of daily or every-other-day full charging, I have not noticed a "memory effect," (yes, Lithium Ion batteries have a memory effect and anybody who tells you otherwise can't spell "hysteresis").
Why buy two? First off, you're going to NEED TWO if you do deep fieldwork in urban environments like I do. There are some nights where I'm sleeping in a gutter in the middle of no where and have to have my phone on 4G to upload ethnographic observations. There are some days I will *not* have access to an electrical outlet, have to use 4G, data transfer, TeleNav, Google Maps, video capture software, sketching software, and a bunch of other *&#^ at the same time, and if you think for a SECOND that having two standard batteries is going to be enough, then you're insane. You need at *least* one, 4000mAH battery with a modern smart phone if you're going to be using these services HARD ALL DAY, and easily two after you've broken the batteries in for a few months.
(Ever try running from a crackhead in the South end of Chicago while changing your battery since you need to dial your primary investigator and tell him that you may not make it back to publish your thesis due to a massive stab wound? Yeah, that's what I thought).
Also, as a word of caution... remember... a lithium ion battery is like a horse's stomach:
1. It needs to be filled often.
2. It needs to be emptied often.
3. If it's used hard (aka extremely warm,) you need to give it a little break (let it cool down ~10 degrees F) before filling it again.
4. When you get a new one, always remember to establish a consistent feeding pattern for a while, (aka always completely empty and completely fill a new battery 10-20 times before you start charging it while half full or while the phone is on).
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN

How much "screen on time" are you getting on that Rom? Screen on time is what matters. Anybody can make their phone last 20 hours with the way the usage & functions are being managed.
I prefer the stock battery, I personally don't like the larger battery because I bought my S3 for the slimness.
I'm running stock battery and cm10 milestone 1 and average well over 4 hours of screen time!

Great battery.. I am using it with the seidio back cover as recommended in the fantastic battery thread we already have.
Sent from my T999 GS3 @ 2GHZ
Hi guys. So I basically had a problem with my phone a while back, and I actually asked you guys but no one knew what the problem was. I realized I fried my battery, and I was searching every where for a cheap 3800 mAh one and I managed to find this guy:
So I was like, "Hey, it's 10 bucks, I can't go wrong, right?" and I ordered it.
It came in the mail within 5 days, which was like 6 times faster than those Chinese websites.
I put the battery on my phone and it works!
Now, I don't have a regular battery to compare with this 3800 mAh one, but I can tell you my regular one lasted me about 12 hours, from 7 am to 7 pm on a weekday.
My regular usage is 3 hours of learning Korean on my bus rides, playing music with speakers for 4 hours, sitting in my pocket when it's not doing anything, and sometimes some YouTube when I get back home.
This new 3800 mAh battery lasts for 26 hours with the same usage, and that's after I've watched an episode of Suits on my phone in bed =D
It is fatter than the regular battery, but that is to be expected from any 3800 mAh battery. It doesn't actually add much more weight to the phone. My regular case won't work with the increased bulk of the phone, but they do give you a new fatter battery cover, which feels pretty good in your hands. The shade of gray of the new battery cover matches the shade of gray of the phone.
I also need to download a better screen shot app, because all the screenies of the battery life that I took turned out black =O

There's already a 3800mah thread full of insights just like yours! BTW the main problem with it is it degrades quickly. after 4 months, mine's giving me about 4:45min screen on time, earlier it was 6. In comparison, the standard battery gives 3 hrs so it's a huge step up! Definitely worth the 10 bucks, and should last until the nexus 5 arrives anyway!
I actually want to make this phone last as long as possible. I might even skip the nexus 5 and go nexus 6 lol. Who knows, maybe by that time the nexus 6 will be implanted in our brains.

Haha, that's actually possible. I'm on cataclysm 4.3 right now, this rom makes the phone fly like it's a galaxy s4! All the games work, multitasking is reasonably good, and there's definitely going to be a 5.0 update coming for it so I don't see why not!

I'm also thinking about buying a battery like you, watching your theme has encouraged me more thanks for sharing your experience :good:
I too have an aftermarket 3800mah battery and I love it! Definitely recommend it for everybody.

I got one similar to this. It seemed to have lost it's capacity fairly quickly. At first it worked well. I wonder if this may have been due to CM 10.2 as well.
It looks similar to the Hyperion. It does degrade quickly. mine now only lasts about 28 hours with only about 2 hours of screen time. It's too bad, because when I got a full day of hiking with gps tracking it was awesome.

I have got a similar $10 battery folks. Now i did not get an external charger for out, is it alright if i charge with my regular USB port with the samsung 1A charger. Also m not getting any mind blowing backup compared to my 1700mah stock battery, just marginally better. I have just done 3 cycles with it may be it will improve.
One more thing the battery percentage
falls rapidly once it gets to 20. I mean its almost like a percent per minute, dunno what to do about it. :banghead:

I the same or similar battery. One day i tried using it (its my backup) and I cannot get the cover to snap into place. No matter how much I push on it the tabs are just getting messed up and I could not get all of them to click into the body of the phone. I used to work fine when I got it, as i recall.
Have you had this issue?

With this battery, you have to use the extended back cover. Mine works fine and its even easier to get on and off than my original cover. The original cover will not work with this battery.

I bought this on the 6th and haven't received anything yet.... and the tracking on the Tmart website isn't showing where my package is... just that it shipped on the 6th... Kinda feeling this is shady now?
Why use a screenshot app??? Volume down and power!
