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.

Get a powermonkey to keep your battery topped up. I've had one for years and has been a real life saver.

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...
Finally it is now available on Ebay. Though I need just one extra with a charger, they include 3! All other sellers on ebay seems to be selling wrong battery.

That's still only 1650mAh=you have to turn off the phone and replace battery every time one is flat. I keep hunting for a 3000 or 3500mAh unit with back cover.

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.
Have anyone tried this yet? Planning to get one but is it really 1700mAh... about 20% more than original battery... should last throughout the day
Can't post the link but you can search for it in ebay....
Don't do it. Usually those off brand batteries are complete junk. Even if its cheap, its a waste of money.
Thanks I was about to get one. I got the 3500maH for my old vibrant and it seemed not 3500 so I guess this one will be the same

I haven't tried the 1700 mAh ones, but I do have 3 of the standard size ones that I got off Ebay for a few bucks each. I'd say they probably have 80-90% of the capacity of the stock battery. I think that's pretty good considering the price. If I needed an extra battery, I'd consider trying it out.
Get a standalone battery charger and always keep one in the charger, so that when your battery dies, you can just swap them out. That way you never have to plug your phone in with the micro usb cable and risk breaking the jack.

I bought those for my first mt4g and you are right, the capacity was only about 80 or 90%. I sold them along with my first mt4g. I would not mind getting another pack but the problem is I'm using the tmobile prestige case the one with the kick stand. It's so hard to pry the case off to change the battery. Maybe will give the 1700 a shot

These are the ones i got and i couldnt be happier with them....I know it says for thunderbolt but its the same battery for the mt4g...i have been able to get 2 days with out any problems at stock clock speed and about 27 hours at 1.5ghz.

Two words... "Battery Calibrator" got me a slightly extended battery that is same size as standard as to avoid losing my sweet case and the charging dock so I always have a fresh batt. Name brand too. New batts take a few full charges n depleats before noticeable difference. Good stuff, good stuff...
Check out AndroidAndMe site

They look like the ones from ebay. Labels are slightly different. I will order and try them.
Battery calibrator did really help I once got 23hrs on a single charge now I use my phone more like a laptop would not last for more than 10 hrs but I need at least 12hrs for my job. Thanks for all advice and shares will report back with when new battery arrives

em2 very interesting find as aware that TB used 1400mAh battery but not same size as our MT4G. Far as stock size battery goes I am aware of the current Mugen Power 1650mAh being better than of that Seidio Innocell 1600mAh. The link you provided is 2x1700mAh for $35 which is still better than current MP1650mAh for $46. Do you have any information regarding the company that built the battery? I don't want to buy 2 as I just need 1 as I don't plan to take off my case to replace it. If you be kind enough to provide some testing for us folks we would be grateful or ill have to go with MP1650mAh as I am not big fan of Innocell.
Will the battery in the OP's ebay link fit/work in a myTouch4G with stock battery door?

Well first of all I need detail regarding the battery itself as I want to check the company out. Which would determine the build quality and durability in long run. Far as the test goes stock 1400mAh vs TB 1700mAh I would like for you to first fully discharge it and recharge it so its calibrated. Then have blacklight 100% bright and CPU running highest that you can handle. Have wifi, life wallpaper, widgets on. Then pick a HD video and let it play till your battery runs out to 1% and shuts down. Make sure you record the data along with time for result. When you compare the duration of both B(1700mAh)-A(1400mAh) you will get the time elapsed. I know thats alot to ask but I really do want to put this test and compare it with MugenPower/Seidio Innocell, thanks.

Also I don't buy random companies product that I never heard of that is another reason I asked you for the detail.

Hey, I realize this is a lot to ask, but I really need some help fixing some things around my house. I have a hole in the drywall in my master bathroom. Could you come to my house in Atlanta, GA and patch it up for me? I'm out of drywall patches, but fortunately, there's a Home Depot that you'll pass on your way here. Also, there is a stain in the carpet in my living room. I've tried and tried for hours to remove it, using everything from the cheap cleaner that I got at the local grocery store all the way up to using pure ammonia, which made me really sick. Do you think you could come over and clean it for me? If not, maybe you could stop in Dalton (it's local, only about 100 miles north of my house) and pick me up some new carpet. Also, by the time you get here, I'll probably be pretty hungry. Think you could stop and pick up some dinner? I like Mexican food. Three beef soft tacos and a plate of cheese nachos would be great! I know that's a lot to ask, but I really do want all this stuff, thanks.

If you don't mind.your phone being a little thicker you should look into a extended battery I have one and its great go all day and still have over 40% at the end of the night.

I have the same set as is in the second link. I'll say this, the batteries are as good as the stock one, and great for the price. Also, having the wall charger for battery is very useful. So, that would be the one I recommend!
Also, I had terrible TERRIBLE battery life in the past. I mean, 3 or 4 hours and it was dead. The best thing I have found that helps this, is custom roms. I don't know if you are using one, but you might consider looking into those options if not.
The wall charger for the battery seems to charge the battery a bit faster than just plugging the phone in. It takes 3-4 hours to charge from dead.
i do have a custom rom But the battery life only lasts like 7 hours or so. I was thnking about the extended battery, but it makes the phone thicker, which i have to say id rather avoid. One of the greatest features of the captivate to me is how thin it is .
But yeah, as you said, the battery and charger are good enough Il be purchasing those tomorrow. If anyone has any other ideas, please shoot
edit : how thicker does it get? Is it still thinner than a blackberry storm 2?
I don't know how thick a storm is but it adds a quarter inch to the battery witch sounds like alot but I don’t really notice it when its in my pocket . I also think it makes it alot easier to hold in my opinion plus it only cost 13 dollars at cellularfactory.com witch was cheaper than all the oem batteries I found. I just couldn't carry around two batteries then you have to switch them when one goes dead and you have to charge them both but that's just me.

get the wall charger and extra battery. it way better than adding bulk to the captivate. looks absolutely retarded adding an inch to this slim phone.
If your repair center is close just go in and ask for a new battery free of charger. Sometimes they have them in stock sometimes they have to order them and send them to you in 2 days. All depends on the luck of the draw really. I have four batteries from doing it this way.

Ahh, the OEM dock + external charger.
Wanted to get one of those.
Had the same setup as OP's the wall charger that is.
I can say, the non-OEM wall charger doesn't charge that fast.
a few posts down is a mod for the NON oem charger to make the USB charge faster. unfortuanatly you cant make the battery part charge any faster. but it WILL charge faster than you can run out a battery so its good.
for buying OEM batteries, i have been told to avoid the G7 series Samsung batteries. Find the G9 series. i bought one for $18 on ebay from an american seller in new york.

Got myself 2 instead G7's. Last's kinda shorter than that of the G9.
What's the difference between g7 and g9? Im guessing better battery life. Where do you see what the series is on the battery?

It's at the lower right side of the battery. Near the S/N.
Kinda tiny on the G9.
HUGE on the G7.
My phone came with the G9 battery and seems decent, can't really compare it to anything as it's the only battery I have for now.
After googling the G7 vs G9, it appears that they're region codes. G7 being for Europe and G9 for the US.

Battery life is a pretty important feature of a phone, if HTC could have had double the capacity for just a couple of quid I'm sure they would have, but they didn't, suggesting that the cheap "gold" and double life batteries aren't what they suggest (and that's certainly borne out my my use of copy batteries.)

It depends on what you carry around with you. I usually just go from home to work and back home, so i can charge either at home or at the office.But when I go on business trips I usually have my laptop bag, so I use a portable battery pack.
I've been using this one for a few weeks and it works really well, it'll charge your phone at least twice.

What phone do you have? Does it have a built-in battery (like iPhone) or a changeable battery(e.g. Samsung)?
If your phone has changeable battery, you can actually have another one if you like. It costs less than $15 from a third party.
If you own an iPhone type, an external battery charger or a battery case would be the only way. I personally prefer an external one since the battery case adds too much weight and destroy the sensational design the phone has. And as you said, they charge a lot due to an exquisite workmanship. Otterbox is the leading brand in this type of case, they provide waterproof, dustproof cases which is awesome if you are a backpacker. Their price is therefore pretty high(over $70).
Another option is to get an external battery charger, which is what I'm doing. I have an iPhone 4S and I have a RavPower 14000mAh external battery charger. I choose this brand because they have a reasonable price and a few of my friends has introduced it to me.
There're some other high-end brands in this like Mophie, Mipow, they sell $15 more than the one I have. So if you prefer a luxury one, you may consider theirs.
I think you can get all of those batteries from amazon.

I'm really happy with that rom.
Very smooth and stabel and the battery life is just awesome
Unfortunately my camera is not working but it seems like i'm the only one.
I purchased a replacement battery from a BatteriesPlus store. Great life out of it, comes with 1-yr warranty (bring it back to to the store with any trouble for replacement).
Also, Groupon runs all kinds of deals on accessories. My wife just picked up a Mophie S3 battery case for me for $40!!! In conparrison, BestBuy has them for $99.
