There is no problem in adding a battery with more charge holding capacity. But the quality of the battrry matters a lot. The output the battery deliver should be as specific for the device. A sub standard battery may result in over heating, explosion or eventually burn your mother board. So the fact is choose the battery after going through reviews.
The gold battery you might have seen, does not provide any assurance in quality.

Good day all out of thses two 1900 mah & 2300 mah which is better vaule for money and is the Anker 2300 mah battery really that slim it still fits with the orginal SG2 battery cover? In any case I was thinking of getting the 2300 mah battery as it got good reviews.
Thanks to all.
both anker 2300mah batteries but they look different!!!:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-2300m...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item4cfaa21158
also the anker 1900mah looks different and more genuine:

i dont know what to choose im stuck same as you.. i want the extra 400mah but will i get the extra 400mah or will i get even less than 1900mah !!!
Yes Im aware of the other batteries same manufacture as I see it.
Just wanted to know which is better the 1900 has good all round reviews as for the 2300 not heard to much on this one myself, more so some site claim it (2330maH) still fits with orginal batter cover .
I'd personally go with the 1900mah ones.
Every battery with more than 1900mah while still stock size I've seen reviewed has actually had less than mah than the stock battery.

Thanks for your input D3 like I said there not much (or Im looking wrong places on net) on reviews on the 2330maH battery, at under 10 euro/pound I may just order the 1900maH one still no rush.
Do you actually believe some company managed to stuff more capacity into a battery without increasing its size? There's a reason samsung's 2000mah battery is thicker, don't be fooled by the rating on a non-oem battery, its fake all the time http://batteryboss.org/

With technology these days anything is possible this is why I am asking.

Then im sure samsung which is one of the largest electronics manufacturer in the world would of figured this out by now, not some unknown anker company. Don't be fooled by a label on a battery, even the popular seido/mugen batteries fall short of their ratings.

anker is not an unknown battery company... they are known for their high quality batteries...
and its proven multiple times that the 1900mah battery is 1900 and even 2000 for some ppl....
i do think the other one is fake though (the 2300 one)
Im thinking of getting the 1900 battery together with the anker charging dock you got a 2pound discount!
Went for the 1900mah placed order thanks to all
can someone tell me if this is the real genuine anker 1900mah battery that everyone is getting here on xda?

As per the photo yes but if you have not done business with said dealer drop them a line to find out if these are genuine anker batts.
This way you'll have digital proof if they turn out to be fakes and you can take it up with ebay there after...
Hey guys I just saw a 3500mAh battery for SGS2 on ebay. Is it safe to use such battery? I mean it won't harm the phone, will it? :O
Probably won't harm the phone, no.
I bought a 3500mAh obscurely branded Chinese battery in mid-December. Tried it out for almost two weeks, a bunch of charge/discharge cycles & estimated its real capacity was around 1900mAh. It also used to heat up a lot on recharge (mid-high 40's Celsius, which isn't normal when the phone isn't being used whilst charging).
I took it back, got a refund & bought an original Samsung 2000mAh battery. Hasn't missed a beat, is obviously close to its advertised capacity given I get around 20% more use out of a charge than I do with a 1600mAh battery.
Obviously your mileage may vary if you buy one of these (you might have a better experience than I did), just thought I'd let you know about my experience.

Well i heard that their batteries exploded in their phones......so be careful.....better pay for a better one instead of having a chance to ruin your expensive phone.

I have one of those I got from DealExtreme and it is great. It lasts 2x longer than the original Samsung battery.
I take care not to swap them often, because I am afraid that this action might damage the original cover, eventually breaking it.
Battery Life
I am still using the 1650 mAh battery (stock) for my S2.
I am really facing some battery issues. Its charging almost all day !
Yes I am using 3G all day and WiFi HotSpot too. But use wifi at home. Thats when I get good battery life. Any better way to conserve some battery ?
Any tips might help
Thanks
Got mine a few days ago from eBay and its been fine so far. It last more than 2x the regular battery. Phone does not heat up or anything strange..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
well i an getting with the original battery 24H of usage.
with the 3500mah i am getting 60H of usage... so my 3500 is truly 3500mah!
the language is hebrew.
i use congnition rom 1.51 and siyah kernel.
So, where can I see a trustful review on batteries for SGS2? What is the most extended one?
It's really frustrating that my current stock battery is only enough for 2 hd video view (4-5 hours).
Also, the higher the mAh value the more battery lifetime is, right?
I would really want to buy 3500 mAh, but it costs so little.
And the official Samsung variant that offers the longest lifetime of a battery for SGS2 is this one, maybe Mugen 3500 mAh is the best choice out there?

What is the model name of the battery? Is it being overheated in comparison to stock one?
why should it overheat?
it is lithium ... same same
Yes, it's special lithium from China extracted under full moon and blessed by a thousand virgins
Really now, if it was possible to manufacture a battery having more than double the capacity of the stock battery while taking up the same volume, don't you think the megacorporate Samsung would buy that technology immediately in order to use it themselves ? "Too cheap to be true" is valid even here; most knock-off batteries either are fake ("9999 mAH SUPER EXTRA" sticker over the original rating), or will degrade quickly in time leaving you with a dud.
Since there are already fake electronic components...
... why not fake and cheap batteries too, certainly seems to be a high demand for them.
a. it is not the same volume! in is twice as much as the original.
b. the i9100 has a circuit that allows a slow stable charge rate so i dont think it will damage the battery.
As well as being made of inferior materials, not being subjected to the same QC, not having the fuel gauge chip present in original Samsung batteries, you pretty much get what you pay for.
My advice would be to avoid non-original batteries altogether, and given a 2000mAh original battery will cost around the same as one of these 3000mAh+ batteries with all their problems & poor life, it's a no brainer.
Stick with Samsung batteries.
fuel gauge chip?
i would like to see that chip in an any cellphone battery please.
If you're not aware of/don't know about the fuel gauge chip in original SGS2 batteries, you've probably been living under a rock since the phone was released

well i think that you misunderstood the meaning fuel gauge.
there is no chip in the battery that is in charge of the fuel gauge.
furthermore there is no use of recalibrating the battery in out i9100 model.
all you gave me is a link you Google...
please... show me that chip! i would like to learn something new about lithium batteries..
Plz can you Possible link topic of the battery

What about the other question that you chose to ignore, regarding the battery's model that you mentioned.
thanks for the info guys,
cuz I need a battery really disparately cuz I use so much data and sync :'(
I couldn't find something really reliable feedback from viewers, and i'm trying to find something with good quality as well!
guess i have to search further!

You have a point mate! Thanks
I need a new battery for Samsung S Relay. I would like to extend battery life with 2500 mAh batteries (or more ...) - but with the original back cover.
I looked around on ebay and I found a lot of various batteries. I also read some forums and I found that some reported that 2500 mah batteries are the same (or even worse) than the original 1800 mAh batteries.
So, which battery is the best ? Please share your experiences ?!
Thank you
Hi
I'm having trouble with my Galaxy Ace 2's battery life. I googled today and found 4000 mAh with back cover http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-4000mAh-Extended-Battery-with-Cover-for-Samsung-Galaxy-ACE2-GT-i8160-Phone-/290957031326 , but didn't found any user reviews.
Also i found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2800mAh-High-Capacity-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S3mini-i8190-ACE2-i8160-/151537348944 and i like it more (because it uses original back cover)
Anyone has experience with this or something similar?
Does it have power for a long time or loose it after month of usage?
Thanks in advance
Soko

I have bought Hinorx 1750 mAh battery, but it's temporary solution...
I need one of those two if they aren't fake or worst quality on the market
Well... I had 800mAh battery on my old Nokia and (I don't know why bought a "brand new, ultra, mega, hyper" battery.... with 4000mAh... I don't know how naive I was these days (as my laptop did have only 3700mAh battery ;D
And... the battery I bought for my mobile lasted only few hours (with NO activity) in comparison to single day for the OLD and USED battery so... after alll I bought a genuine Nokia 800mAh which was much better.
At this moment I really don't trust batteries for mobiles saying they have few thousand mAh of capacity... (just compare the sizes to the batteries in the laptops
I do not recommend buying anything suspicious and by suspicious I mean everything more than 10-20% of your original battery capacity.
@wolfensg thanks for your reply
i bought 1750 mAh Hinorx battery...
manufacturer says that after 3-5 charging cycles battery will reach it's full potential... so, i will do it and post results if anyone needs that info
btw, battery is about 10€ so i dont expect so much
Does anyone tried a different battery capacity? I found a 3000 mAh on ebay, did anyone tried it?
Do you think is harmful?
Thank you in advance
Is this battery built by HTC was is a third-party battery that is working with HTC?
It isn't a HTC battery, is a spare with more capacity, but I don't know if it's harmful or not, I didn't found anything in internet about it...
I don't think the battery capacity will harm the phone, maybe just the battery will hold longer or not, depends on it's quality.
The point is: does the actual stock battery has a fix number of cycles or whatever? The actual battery has 2850 mah capacity, the new one 3000...the difference of 150 mah will be recognized by the mobile? This is my concern..

The phone will charge and discharge the extra 150mAh but the correct capacity will not be reported by software.
Anyway 2850 vs 3000 is a little change, and if the battery quality is lower than HTC original battery maybe you'll not see any difference or maybe the battery will hold shorter.

From what i've seen on the Galaxy Gear S forums, somebody fitted a bigger battery inside and it worked just fine.
And his watch now lasts a few more days.
Anyway, for 150mAh more is simply not worth the risk.
