just google the title of the thread and ull find a couple of shop

seems kind of sketchy... i did a quick look around on it and can't really find anything about warrenty, returns or one single review :S personally i would not risk it. that's just imo.

What ever it is, the concept is nice. I would love to get such a cover if that really exists...cover + external batery with Off/On option is a great idea...

Look for 'EEB-U20BBUG' Samsungs original battery case for I9100.
Btw, this doesn't fit with the extended battery.

the samsung one is only 1300 mah...
but does it work with the extended 2000 mah battery

Hmmm ,I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those selling for about 25$ or something here in Baghdad.
I'm also pretty sure the capacity was around 1000 mah if the retailer is to be believed.
It looks Identical to this photo though ,with the power,button drawing my attention when I saw it.
Can't tell you anything about actual performance though as I'm already stuck with the over priced - under performing samsung 1300 mah power pack.
I don't think this is fake or capable of damaging the phone ,I've asked the retailer and he said that he tried it and that it's rather good ,and I don't think that he was lying either.

I dont think they have battery cover with that capacity... I found cases like that in ebay but the capacity are below 1650mAh

I'd definitely be interested in obe of those!

simple and great
a friend of me just bought this and it works awesome. its nice looking and battery is sooo much better
edit: its a bit different than on your picture
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-...0-extended-battery-power-pack-case-p28950.htm

mate ,this one is the original samsung power pack which is completely different.
I have this model and it sucks ,says up to 300 hrs standby ,when infact it will drain in about 8 hrs even when attached to a fully charged phone.

So tempted... but 54 quid is a fairly expensive solution to my battery woes.

Looking for Extended Battery + Bumper/Case combo

As the title says, I'm looking to get a nice combination of bumper+mega battery.
I quite like the Sweet Armor posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422752
I'm still very much open to suggestion regarding the battery, but I'm looking at http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1565&T=1
So yeah, I'm open to suggestion - size, weight and bulk are absolute NON-ISSUES. I like a big heavy phone for my big hands. They just gotta fit together.
Many thanks!

My recommendation is to buy the official Samsung extended battery.
The aftermarket ones tend to get hot, melt, explode and make the babbies cry.

I was kinda thinking the same after reading the reviews for the aftermarket batteries. Thanks!
Now, I have yet to get a definitive answer whether the sammy 2000mah battery fits in the Otterbox Commuter case. The case compatibility thread has some minor details, and a half-assed 'yes-maybe'. Pic of phone & case:

I've got a original samsung 2200mah battery
edit: seems to be afake battery, not that I expected something different for a clone galaxy s2 lol

i have just ordered this one http://www.flagshipfones.co.uk/batt...sung-galaxy-s-ii-s2-2600mah-cs-smi9100hl.html It should actually be here today, i hope it doesnt explode or i will cry!
Well, my extended battery arrived and i almost cried at the sheer size of the thing.... it's actually thicker than the actual device! WTF! the tatty back cover doesn't even fit properly! needless to say, the think will be getting returned! i think the official route will be the best one!!

Anker 4400mAh Battery (Mini Review)

I recently bought the Anker 440mAh for the very small price of £9.99

I was skeptical about buying this due to how cheap it is, to anybody looking for a cheap alternative, this is for you.
Click HERE to view the battery on Amazon (UK)
I've seen people saying some batteries will not charge or that it's slow. This isn't, I've charged it a few times and it gets up to the 90%~ mark and remains neutral, it doesn't slow down whatsoever.
I completely forgot to screenshot my battery use after a solid 5 hour Final Fantasy 7 session with still 60%~ remaining.
The battery fit isn't great, it does fit in but it could be a lot better.
The extended case is cheap, it's made out of plastic and very hollow. With the added weight no doubt it would crack if dropped.
To sum up, the battery is well worth the price depending on use. I use it for playing games when I'm just chilling at my friends house, so here's for those who are wanting something for a similar use.

I had this battery, but it was less powerful than the original... weird.

Having used Anker batteries and travel chargers since my s2, i can safely say they can have my money any time, they make affordable but really great products. There batteries certainly last longer than stock.

Really? I've seen people slating it but I was extremely surprised with the performance - and the price!

If it was, you had a dud. I have this battery and it works great.

WOW, 4400 mAh are good. The only problem is the expansion cover..doesn't look very well
But with 4400 you will have more power of course

The problem with the cover I had is that nobody makes a case for it. I'm using a Q cell cover with mine.

I have this as well, the back covers they come with are not the best quality, and the battery is great, however it blocks the NFC capability. Ordered a Zerolemon 6300 Mah from Amazon a few days ago, should be here Thursday.

External batteries/Portable chargers

I'm looking to buy one for when i'm traveling to charge my phone/tablet and looking for suggestions on brands/models/etc. Probably don't really want to spend much more than ~$50 on one. Only requirements are that it isn't too big and bulky to not fit well in a laptop travel case. And the more mAh the better obviously. Thanks.

There are a lot of brands out there. Morphie seems to be one of people's top picks - probably because it looks super nice and marketed well. I personally have never own one and think it's a bit on the pricey side. I have a Ravpower one with 10,400 mah which was mentioned in this thread if you wanna take a look. Works great. Not heavy at all which was surprising. And can charge my nexus 7 about 2 times before i need to charge again. Think Ravpower have smaller ones too, but 10,400 might be their largest capacity charger.
These portable power chargers seems to be everywhere now. You can probably find some in stores too. Think I saw a low mAh one at Lowes the other day by either Duracell or Energizer, but these might not be best for heavy charging.

I just ordered 2 antec powerup 3000's apparently they have Panasonic batteries. I will report back! :beer:

It's originally $99 but they are having a sale through Feb. 18th

Counterfeit or Genuine battery?

Hello i'm looking to buy new S2 ORIGINAL battery. Here are the photos of "Original Galaxy S2" battery, could this be original? does every single sign/thing has to be at the same spot and to be the same size as on the original battery to be so called "original"? Also what about Manufacture date that says "2015.6.26" do Samsung still produce s2 batteries? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't look original to me.
There are few of small dents and bumps on it and the finishing is too poor to be original.

I knew it... Well then i guess there is no original battery by SAMSUNG available anywhere in the world except the second-hand ones...

Here's my experience: if you really want a genuine samsung battery (which, for me, is unnecessary), the only place you'll find one is in a real samsung shop (if you buy a "genuine samsung battery" from ebay, it certainly WON'T be a genuine samsung battery). I've just bought a replacement battery from ebay which DID NOT say samsung on it (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111803700635) and it's excellent - it's as good as the original genuine samsung battery. Lesson learnt? Buy a battery which is NOT trying to pretend to be a samsung battery (all those that are trying to pretend to be genuine samsung batteries are fakes).

I have gone through a lot of genuine Galaxy S2 batteries and I do find the other batteries to be cheaper and better. This looks like a genuine Samsung battery to me. I have have seen maybe 10 genuine batteries that come with the S2 phone and they look like that. I have also seen fake ones they usually don't put too much effort into the graphic design

It's genuine, built in chinese factory for lower cost and of course it comes bulk and not in retail package.

Alright, thanks everybody.
I sorted this problem by getting the friend's S2 plus battery (apparently he broke the phone and gave me away his battery) basically inside they are the same, it is a bit thicker than S2's genuine and is carrying a nfc text... So far it's fitting and working fine on my S2.
