Hey all,
As you know the Galaxy S 4G, Giorgio Armani, and a few new Galaxy S phones all have 1650mah batteries that fit in our VIbrants perfectly.
A person in the I9000 has located a store that sells them and is now relisting them on ebay in batches of 5 every one or two days.
If you want a replacement battery, this is a GOOD one. It offers 10% more juice over the stock battery you have and fits WITHOUT any additional battery cover or anything. It is original straight from Samsung
Price is 26 Euro which currently translates to $38.50. It is shipping from Europe.
Enjoy. I just bought one

Yup. Most of the China made batteries are much more cheaper than this & have better capacity. However, some are not in full capacity as listed but some are like Yoobao, Kingmax & Momax.
However, I may get one Samsung Galaxy SL battery 1650mAh in my place here for around USD15.00 only. I bet it can fit into our Vibrant.
Where is that you are getting the 1650 mah battery for $15?

Yup. I got the offer from one of the mobile phone shop here. However, after double check with them that the Samsung Galaxy GT-I9003 battery can't be fixed into our Vibrant due to the size is a bit thicker. Same as GT-I9003 thickness is more than Galaxy S GT-I9000 & Vibrant. No luck I guess.
Please confirm that you can charge the battery. A lot of other batteries, from the 4G or Fascinate, for instance, will work for the phone, but will not charge.

Anyone want to set up a group buy? I want to buy.it but don't need 3.
Dang! Nice find there. That seems to be original which is good.
I'm thinking of creating a group buy for these. I already have mine and it's great so I will either a. Buy 10-15 and resell them invidually on ebay for around $15-20 with the shipping included or b. Get orders here and split the cost.
That is if enough people are interested of course.
Just a quick note, that site has 2 batteries.for the sgs 4g with one being aftermarkwe(the one for 8) and the other being oem, which os.on the site for.20. Anyone know what the difference is between them?
I am in for a group buy, but like some one mentioned will there be a problem to charge these batteries in Vibrant?
No. The batteries WILL work correctly for charging.
get 3, a laza wall charger and you will never plug it in again ...except when transferring files

No offense, but I'm almost totally certain that this is not a Samsung original battery. The Spanish translation is absolutely wrong and literally makes no sense. Compared to the factory battery, which is correctly translated, it is glaringly obvious. Samsung has better translators in Spanish than the Chinese factory that cranked out these reasonably convincing fakes. They have improved the look of the label itself, but the tell-tale faulty translation is still there verbatim from the Chinese fakes that I bought myself.
Well you are wrong. This is from the i9000 forums. The guy is a regular xda member there. Pretty sure they are legit.

Well.. I have to ask the obvious question:
Is this guy from the forum fully bilingual and has he personally examined the point? I have both batteries myself, so I speak from experience, and it makes no difference to me on a personal level, but what I'm saying simply is true. The fakes are poorly translated. The factory originals are correct. I'm not trying to pick a fight. Just a public service announcement, so to speak.
I don't think they are OEM batteries.
Why don't these batteries show how many mah they have?

That's one of their multiple flaws which distinguish them from the originals. I think, as I recall, the do have a rating, but it's not accurate. They also should have a serial number, but these are fake also. Both mine are identical in serial number. Like I said, I'm not looking for a fight here. I'm simply trying to make sure that anyone who buys this knows what they are getting.
I bought two and complained about my list of problems, which I've not enumerated in total in this thread, and they were rather minor, considering the price, but because the item was falsely portrayed as Samsung, the seller refunded my purchase price, plus shipping.
hi all, anyone tried one of these or have any views on them?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220920058988?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
I'm skeptical that it will actually be 3.8Ah but who knows!
I would maybe try this one first
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2300mAh...ccessories&hash=item3f117fadeb#ht_5834wt_1413
i don't trust oversized. Also the Gnex requires that the battery has a NFC chip on it to be able to use the Gnex's NFC function
what's the capacity on the standard battery packs? That 2.3ah one you linked to does not look much bigger, do you also need a new back cover for that one?

Only $5.99 USD?
That's too good to be true ... most probably fake, I meant it contain less than 2300 mAH.
And it is for "Galaxy Nexus prime" ... bwahahaha ... Yeah, right!
Also, it does not look to have NFC.
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/110797773716#ht_4338wt_905
It has NFC and it is (slightly) higher capacity. The back cover fits perfectly, and is almost identical to the CDMA GN back cover. Makes the device just a tad less concave near the bottom. Looks and fees better in my opinion.
I've ordered one of the 3,800 ones, I'll post a review when I get it!
Both the cheap ones do seem a bit too good to be true, but for the price of the so called 3800mah one I might try it and test it out.
I'll look forward to seeing the review if u get yours first mate

The 2000 ones are genuine. Many people have bought it and have no complaints.
NFC on it works as well if that matters to you. It has many prices some in USD etc etc.
Anyone bought one yet?

Been thinking about this. I hate putting on huge battery packs so the 2000mAh was appealing. but $50 for such a small bump is hard to justify for me, especially considering I have no plans to get a desk charger and swap batteries.

I was thinking the same thing, but I went for it anyway. I bought it so I wouldn't have to swap batteries. The 2000mah battery has about 15% more capacity, so if you get say 12 hours on the regular battery, you should get 13.7 hours. If you get 18 hours, you should get 20.6 hours. As well, I find my GN feels much better in my hand with the extended battery: it is slightly heavier and less concave in the back (i.e., it looks like an LTE GN).

No NFC chip. I wouldn't buy. Only the official Samsung extended has the NFC. It's stupid that they put it in the battery

What do you think? if so what would be the expected mah?
I'd love them to, but I doubt it :/ If they do however, I will be pre-ordering it straight away
Agreed just got a Nexus and the battery life is half that of my iPhone. My iPhones screen would be at max and the Nexus at the minimum.
If they release a 2500-ish battery I will get it

I don't think they will. Personally, I was disappointed in their decision to use such a small extended battery. I know allot of people don't want to lose the slimness. Those people should stick to the stock battery. I wish it was close to 3000 mah.
I guess Samsung decided more people would buy the battery based on slimness than would not buy because of mah rating.

Well we got the Seidio extended battery. Not exactly Samsung but I had good experience with their batteries. My only complaint about the battery is the back cover. Not a big fan of the color. Should have made it the color of the phone
Samsung wont make a bigger one. they did same thing for the galaxy S2.
Im waiting for the mugen one. I had that on my SG S2 and it was a beast
I hope Samsung or somebody else does. The siedo is huge and kinda ugly. Personally I would like around 2500mah -3000mah depending on how huge it is. Including NFC would be a huge plus too.

Doubt it as it'd ruin the lines of the phone. The official 2000mah extended battery fits nicely and the cover just makes the phone feel better in the hand
the mugen will have how much battery?
i dont think they would but it would be very nice to see if they do....

All depends on your usage of the phone. It is only an extra 250 mAh, so if you are a heavy user, you may get an hour or two out, medium user a couple of hours and light user a few more!
I find it is easy to carry around a spare cheap eBay battery just in case you need it!
as long as it doesnt look like this:

Novel idea there, although it looks FUGLY!!
I'm not gonna lie. I'm tempted to get the Seidio one since I'm a really heavy user, especially during the night shift with music and such. But idk. I'm thinking about buying an extra extended battery since Verizon still has them for half off or getting the huge Seidio one. I don't use NFC so that doesn't really matter. What do you guys think?
By the way, sorry if I like jacked your thread with this question

Most people are going to tell you use the Samsung because it looks better...personally, looks don't matter to me, so if you feel you need the extra juice the seido is the best option at the moment. The thing keeping me from the seido is NFC and the price. I just went with the samsung. You can buy 2 of them for less than the price of the seido.

Hi Everyone,
I need help in finding out where can I get the extended battery for my Galaxy Note in India, which should fit in the mobile without changing the original back cover. More over I need to find this battery specifically in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India.
I have gone through the other threads regarding batteries for Galaxy Note, and many have posted the links of Amazon and eBay etc etc showing how many different varieties of Extended batteries we have for Galaxy Note. But I need a battery that is more than 2500 mAp, and should fit with the same back cover given with Note without making it bulky, as the mobile is large sized already
Please do post link where I can buy such battery.
Thanks in advance.

Moon is correct. The only one you'll find with a higher mah rating of stock size that is reliable is the 2700mah battery from Anker. All others require a change in back cover. I have the Mugen 5400mah battery and yes there is a lot more bulk, for the extra juice it's well worth it. At the end of the day you have to make a choice. What's more important, device size or battery capacity?

Ofcourse the battery life is more important to me rather than size. But for a second, to think that i have to carry this Galaxy Note whcih is already BIG, and if that becomes bulky too, then i really have to buy trousers with huge pockets. Anyway, if at all i really get the mugen 5400mAp battery, i will surely buy it. But we dont get mugen in India

all of the ones your find won't have better performance. in fact, they will probably be worse, because they're nothing more than cheap knockoffs.
do you really think some unknown Chinese company can pack more power into a battery than Samsung? the answer is no
Only batteries you'll find that fit the original back cover, mildly extended and are not cheap are hyperion 2200mAh batteries on amazon. Look em up and they have reviews on YouTube.
