Need help choosing extended battery

Hey guys I'm looking for the best extended battery for my s2. Price isn't a factor and I would prefer to buy something from amazon.co.uk. the only problem is there's too many to choose and you guys know what's best I'm looking for something that doesn't decrease too much in performance over a long period of time.
Thanks in advance guys

Agree, the genuine one often gives you more satisfaction than other "hi-cap" batteries. And it's more trusty i think

[q]best gsm battery extended

Hi guys i want to know which is the best extended battery for GSM version! i have seen the sedio battery but it costs too much for me any suggestion?

How big are you looking for? The Samsung Extended battery is probably the best in overall quality, but it isn't that big.

the link points to a bolt on external battery, it only charges the internal battery and cannot be used to double the existing one.
once the battery in the phone is used, the bolt on one will charge up the one in the phone, it does not provide power direct to the phone.

Yes it does.. a member here did a review of it charging the phone directly while the phone was in use.

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
This does not kill my design, what do you think about it?

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.

If you search "gold 2450mah" on ebay you should find it if you're interested.

I have the 3500mah battery and it makes a big improvement. Ive found out it calabirates its self after a few cycles.

just buy the original 2000mah battery and it will be fine. my sgs2 lasts 2 days now...

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.
Thanks

extended battery case

Hi,
Just wondering has anyone gotten the mugen extended battery and found a decent enough casing for the extended battery?
Is it possible if i use those third party case for those 3800 mah batteries and hook it up with the seidio SURFACE™ Extended battery case?
Can you guys share how you guys used to cover your gnex with those extended batteries (3800 / 4000 mah batteries)?
cheers,
Alex

I'm using the trexcell tpu case from amazon. Also using the Hyperion 3800 battery. Case fits very well. Very happy with it.

Thanks for your reply. How does the trexcell tpu case feel? Is it a fingerprint magnet? Does it protect the phone fully? Possible to snap some pics over?

It is not too bad. I got the cruzerlite for the regular battery it has the matte finish as well as some glossy. This case has the glossy all the way around. So i am assuming it will show some fingerprints. I have only had on the phone for one day.

How about the front? Have you seen the hyperion tpu case for galaxy nexus?
I wonder if the seidio (SURFACE™ Extended For use with Seidio Innocell 3800/3500mAh Extended Life Battery - Black) would work with those third party bacttery case like yours?
could someone please advise.

I have not seen a Hyperion tpu case. If I remember correctly from some of the stuff I read the seidio extended wasn't that good. I will get a front picture tomorrow

My bad I just noticed the case on amazon. The one thing I noticed about it is that the volume rocker is covered. The case that came with the phone had same thing. Whenever I put it in my car mount the volume would go down just by snugging it up. The trexcell has the rocker uncovered. Not sure if the same thing with happen with Hyperion.

Thanks!! Awaiting the front pic ... hope you're enjoying ya gnex
Last but not least, how's the battery life for the hyperion 3800mah battery? Good??

I am still on the first cycle with the batterry so i will have to wait to give a true opinion after a few cycles.

Thanks!! I believe the case would be able to protect the screen.
How's then charging like? First charge till 100% and leave it there for additional 6 to 8 hours.
Am thinking of getting Hyperion or onite extended battery.
There should be more extended battery cases ... There is only a handful of out there.

I'm using a Hyperion Extended Battery on my Sprint GNex and the Seidio Active Case fits superbly on it.

Good to hear. Thanks

I just went back to my original battery after a 5.5 hr battery life this morning. I think that one has crapped the bed.

Honestly. Not too impressed. Will see how a couple of more cycles go. If it stays the same i will be returning it too amazon.

I understand upon receiving the battery, the first charge should be done up to 100% and leave it there running for additional 6-8 hours. My question is - Do we have to power off the phone or just charge with the phone still on?
For the next few charges, charge with the phone off or on? Can we leave it overnight?

It does not say on the insert either way.

Then how are we to know how to charge so that we can prolong the lifespan of the battery ...

Any Extended battery with stock back cover?

Hello all!
I'm thinking to buy an extended battery. Are there any extended battery that fit with the stock back cover? I don't expect huge 4500mAH battery.
I read this thread but can't find good one.

Zerolemon 2300Mah is the largest one that will fit under our stock battery cover.
