for $5 it doesn't really bother me to test it. turns out it is a 3500, maybe it'll be alright.

Im using the hyperion battery from amazon. And so far so good,

I'm using qcell batteries, there supposed to be 2300mah I think they are 2100 tho because they last as long as stock batteries and you get 2 for 25$ on Amazon I really recommend them

I saw a 4000mah battery on amazon for $16 and was tempted to get it, but just bought the flip cover for my phone so decided against it.
they don't have nfc either so, that's another downer.

a lot of the reviews on amazon say they average around 36 hrs on a single charge with average use.

just ordered this http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Extende...mobile/dp/B0074290B2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top was able to get 2 days with the stock battery so hoping for 4 days with the extended battery
I wish i could just get the hyperion back cover without the battery because it looks like it will be better looking than the qcell back cover

Got it off Ebay for $20. After I bought it I saw a package deal on there that comes with a ton of accessories for $25.

What about a 3500 mAh battery?

Hi, I would buy an extra battery for my S2, I was thinking about this one:
http://www.ebay.it/itm/180802120154?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Do you think it's better to look to the design of my S2 or buy this battery and charge it every 3 days at least?
I need a battery 'cause I use my phone as a hotspot for my Nexus 7 every time i go out...
Excuse me for my bad english!
Edit 18/09
I received the battery, it seems slimmer than the original (lulz?) here some photos
So, I'm gonna try it. After 2 or 3 cycle I will post the results
Edit 20/09
Ok, after some cycles i think that this battery has a capacity of 1650 mAh like the original, because Battery Widget Reborn signal me 19h of charge like the Samsung one, so I think that's not 2450 mAh.

why would you ask this to other people ? if you feel you need more battery life and can handle a bigger phone then go for it. if not, keep the stock battery and thats it. simple.

I only wanted an advice from you guys...

I don't think that this battery work good. Why you don't buy the 2000mah original from samsung?

Because this one is cheaper and more capable... I also found this one http://item.mobileweb.ebay.it/viewitem?itemId=251145571049#ht_2172wt_1271

I bought a 2450mAh for my SGS2 and it dramatically improved the battery life.

Ok, I just ordered it. It will arrive in 3-5 working days, with "Battery widget. Reborn!" I get 22h in 100% without wifi, sync, or any connection but 2g. I'll post the results when it arrives.

It's a shame as a new user I can't post a link to it.

I am using this 3500mah battery from last 1 month
Actually it is 2150 mah only as calibrated so many times by Battery Widget software. So it definately increased performance. I got it from ebay from India and it is cheap only 1000 indian rupees
Friends please suggest me about that charging cover type 1000 mah extended battery.

Damn I can hardly get 3h with stock battery and 12h on battery.

I have the QCell 4200mah. Got it on Amazon for 22 bucks or something. Easily get around 5 hours of screen time and a whole days use. Adds some bulk, but feels nice. Cases are offered by QCell also.

I have the official extended 3000 from Samsung. The phone is bit thicker but I'm finding I like it more like this and no longer has the tendency to slip from my hand. Getting 3 hour screen time with max brightness and LTE. Stock Kernel but running Wicked v9.1.

I chose to go for the mophie case for battery quality and the fact that all the big battery's don't have cases that cover the screen edge of the gs3. I found mophie only does. If your looking for protection too.

None that I am aware of, I have never owned a gold one but there are posts around both for and against them... some say they are just a 2100 mAh with a new sticker....

I have Seidio's extended battery, along with the case for it. Outrageously expensive, but worth every penny if only because the case has saved my phone from destruction at least 6-8 times when I've dropped it onto hard floors.
It (or my phone) definitely has "moods", though... I've managed to burn through the entire extended battery in as few as 3-4 hours (!!!) a few times. If I don't semi-charge it on my desk at work, it'll usually be down to 15-30% by the time I go home, and dangerously low if it gets another 30-60 minutes of constant use somewhere while eating dinner. I wish somebody besides Seidio made a battery with the compatible dimensions... I wouldn't use a second one often enough to justify throwing down another $70, but I'd love to pick up a second one that's good enough to go for another 3-4 hours.
In case anybody's wondering, my awful battery life is mostly because I use Graffiti, and have to lock the CPU to 100% whenever the screen is on to get acceptable accuracy. It seems like every new generation of Android phones has a worse sample rate than the last, and gets more and more aggressive about trying to slow down the CPU whenever there's a soft keyboard open. (Seriously... my creaky, ancient Sprint Hero OC'ed to 712MHz had a butter-smooth high sample rate, and I could get almost 100% accuracy writing blind with my thumb. My S3 seems to have MAYBE half the sample rate, and Graffiti input when the CPU is allowed to scale down freely and some ***** app is doing realtime Ajax character-by-character queries is almost impossible.

Slim extended battery help?

Hey does anyone know a good slim extended battery for the s4 that wont make it bulky? And also how do u tell if your battery isnt good anymore thanks

Also interested in this. You can usually see the phones battery percent via the settings in the phone. I get about to about 50% after a 8 hour work day, only using my phone on breaks via wifi. But to test it, no idea.

Check to see if the battery has any bulge/swelling on it. If it's not charging correctly like long charge time, check the charger too.
