wow, 2.3.6...

I got one of those hump backs with a 3800 from china for like $8.27 shipped and it does about the same. some nice cheap options out there if you look! . :good:

That's quite a lot of battery, though it wouldn't fit any of my case accessories. Getting 20+ hours with the latest WildKernal anyway. Maybe it's time you upgrade your ROM and Kernal?

PowerGen Premium Battery

I just bought two PoweGen Premium batteries for my X10 (they are actually labelled X1). I am extremely happy w/ these batteries. I believe that they actually last longer than my original X10 battery. I bought them thru Amazon for about $24 each.

Actually i bought at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah when on my visit there. I dont know where to find this battery at KL but sure KL got more choices and cheaper.
Now its been 1 day 16 hours since unplugged. Pretty heavy use. Lots of calls, sms, poweramp, etc.. Just finish 3 hours straight youtube & browsing using wifi and still got 30% juice.

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.

Battery Packs
There are 3000+ mAh battery packs available that have a short cable to plug into the micro usb port. While quite small, not really something you'd consider to be a daily driver.

with the right rom and power tweaks, I've found the battery to be sufficient. I text often, make numerous voice calls, read the news, some social media and other random apps daily. Lasts me from wake to sleep with no problems
I purchased a Unicharge 5600 mah external battery for 20 dollars off Amazon. Works well for whenever I need some extra battery. I can usually get about 7-8 hours from my One V (Airplane mode but with Wi-Fi enabled and with moderate camera use).

**Review of 4300mah Extended Battery from tmart.com**

So I recently receieved a 4300mah battery from tmart.com for days when i just need that extra amount of power when i'm going to be away from an outlet for some time. The battery has proven to stand up to some of my heavy usage, which included MANY texts, a mixture of 4G and wifi, a lot of Netflix high def video streaming (2-3 hours worth), and well over an hour of music streaming via bluetooth. After some days of use, I've decided to throw up some average stats that I got, and I'm quite pleased with them!
First, here's some images of the battery to compare to the stock samsung battery. yes, it's a bit thicker, but it comes with a back door replacement. The back door replacement is kind of a pain to take off (since it doesn't flex like the stock one) but it doesn't seem too bad.

as you can see, it's pretty much double the size of the stock battery.
and here's my usage for the last day i've used it:
i probably could've gotten atleast another 30-45 minutes out of that 10% judging by how it was draining throughout the day. Either way, for the stuff I did with it, it was quite impressive!
for such a low price, this battery seems pretty damn good!
the only con that i'm seeing so far is lack of NFC. but of course, for a battery that's only around $8.00, NFC isn't to be expected.
other than that, it's a pretty good deal!
check it out here:
http://www.tmart.com/4300mAh-Extend...er-for-Samsung-I9300-GALAXY-SIII_p157061.html
check it out. $5.99...price drops? Really cheap.
More updates? How is the cover looks like in the phone? Is it awkward.
Looks good but I can get upto nearly 5 hours screen time with my standard batery and my setup as in my Sig.
What rom and all are you using?? custom kernel??
I have i9300 seems you have LTE version?
Are these the same??

Setting new battery capacity after replacement

Hi, guys.
I've just replaced phone's battery with this "HSABAT 3800mAh" ... Everything is ok but I'm guessing the battery percentage info in system is adjusted to old 2300mAh value. I'm using AICP Oreo.
What I need to do in order to get accurate battery data??
Thank you in advance :fingers-crossed:
I think you have noticed by now that it all works without any additional settings.
However - i do not think the new battery is 3800 mAh - at least not in this phone (voltages). The battery tech has not evolved so much during these few years and the battery compartment physically does not allow so much energy. (you need to have certain amount of chemicals for any Ah).
Everything is OK, except for battery life... I guess this "HSABAT 3800mAh" was a rip-off.

I'm not sure if I should try another replacement battery.
It's a shame be forced to say goodbye to this nice device because of this.
Just buy a genuine battery, they are available on the internet (about $15-20). I have replaced my battery twice with full success.
Just stop and think a little bit before buying. Original battery is 2300mAh and your fake one is 3800mAh. How on earth you can pack almost double capacity into the same size battery? The same chemistry gives the same capacity in the same size. Simple. Forget about 3800mAh and if it holds charge properly just use your phone. Probably you still have 2300mAh in it.

You can use your current battery if it holds charges properly e.g. no sudden drop from 50% to 0%. I got my battery a year ago from this shop and it works fine https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32870459998.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1ec633edTwqvQZ
