Anyone buy an extended battery for their gsm sgn?

I mean from say the verizon corporate store? Or maybe best buy?
How many hours does it add overall?

Yes of course people have bought Extended batteries for their GSM model. But you are not going to find them in a Verizon store or Best Buy.....or any physical store really. You will have to order from a third-party such as on Ebay or Expansys (Though after waiting a month for mine, I don't recommend them) I use my phone regularly, but not crazy like some users here and I can easily get a day and a half of use before having to plug in.

Thanks, but I see alot of those rated as just being 2000mah? Thats only 250mah more than the stock battery. I'll probably get 10 extra minutes with that? I dont mean to carry as a spare but to use as a replacement.

That is the OEM extended battery. I'll say you'll get 15-20% more life.
If you want to go crazy you can get something like Seido's or Qcells.

Get a 2100mAh battery for the price of shipping ($7.50). There is an entire RW thread on what to do & some troubleshooting tips if you're interested.

Does the Samsung extended battery for the GSM model fit with stock battery door or does it need a new battery door?

I have the gsm extended battery and it needs a new battery door. (A new battery door comes with it) The battery life is marginally better

I have the gsm 2000 mAh and I initially thought it wouldn't last much longer than the stock one but instead you really do, in my opinion, get that 15-20% extra battery time! I am very satisfied with it. With normal use (checking emails, sms, whatspp, rss reader) I was able to get 3 and a half hours of screen on time!

You do realize that battery will not physically fit in his phone, right?

I'm sure some have tried. Imagine their disappointment when they learned the hard way that a battery meant for the lte phone will not fit a gsm model.

I have the 2000mAh extended battery and it's pretty good. You get about 15% more battery life which is not too shabby for the price and the very small amount of bulk and weight it adds to your phone. It actually feels better in my hands with the extended battery.
If you're using a case, you may have some issue fitting it with the extended battery. Some cases are made for the extended battery but they're not as common as the standard cases. It's a non-issue if you roll with a naked GNex like me.

Vzw and Sprint extended batteries do not fit into gsm GNs.
Ebay has a lot of sellers from Korea selling the real oem version for the gsm model.

I would agree with this. The extended battery and cover just makes it a little thicker and fits nicely in your hands.

Battery for I9305 different from I9300?

Dear all,
I just bought the I9305. I was surprised that the battery size is different from the I9300! The battery in the I9305 is larger than the I9300. Does anyone have more information on the difference? For some reason, sites like GSM Arena don't reflect this difference.

how big was yours?

Dimensions or capacity? The capacity is 2100mAH found both the 9300 and 9305

I dont think they're different I'll check because I just bought an extended battery allegedly for the i9300.

They are exactly the same size and are even interchangable between each other. I have them both in front of me. What on earth made you think they are different? Everything n the housing between I9300 and I9305 are interchangable even the Back cover. I have tried it all.

Here are 3 pictures of my I9305. The first picture shows the phone and the provided battery together. The next picture shows the S3 I9300 original Samsung battery I bought.Then you can see the comparison of the provided I9305 battery and the I9300 battery.
Unless the packaging wording for the I9300 extra battery I bought was wrong and it was not meant for S3 (which I triple checked!), there is DEFINITELY a difference.

The "i9300 original battery" is probably fake.
Mine is taller, just like the i9305.

The smaller batery has "EB-L1H2LLK" code on it, which refers (google it) to Chinese SCH-I939 Galaxy S3, not the I9300.

Does the anker sold by laptopmate on amazon work with the i9305, because it isnt in the compatible list..,

If it works for the I9300 then it works for the I9305, reason its not on the compatible is because the new S3 is not as well known yet

Well I rolled up some paper and stuffed it into the empty space when using the smaller size battery. It works.
Guess I got duped. Actually got it in Korea and it said S3 or SIII. Guess there are too many S3/SIII versions now.

That one is not for a legitimate S3, it's a clone S3 battery.
So, nope.. not "many" versions, only if you count knockoffs..

it's not a knockoffs, that battery belongs to korean version of S3, i just got a used korean S3 today, and when i try to purchase backup battery, it doesn't fit in, the i9300 battery is 5mm longer. both got the same capacity though.

I have an NTTdocomo SIII SC-03E and it also uses the shorter (but same width, thickness, capacity 2100mah) EB-L1H2LLK battery.
Definitely NOT a clone and I suppose yes, there are many SIII versions.
Btw, the SC-03E has a retractable antenna for its tv tuner. It's on the top right quite near the front camera. Maybe that is why they needed a shorter battery because of the space the tv tuner MIGHT have occupied.

Although it is not possible to maintain the same capacity with the same thickness and other dimensions AND losing length.
Or else they would opt for higher capacity overall - well I guess it's a stupid design.

I found out and with a few mods, an SII (i9100) battery will fit an SC-03E. Slice off part of the side notch guides beside the battery terminal side (no need to slice off the other side notch) and removing the black spacer beneath the battery. The width of the SII battery is about 2-3mm narrower and its capacity is only 1750mah. I can manage about 16hrs with light usage with both wifi and data switches active.

Using one now on my Note 2. I put it in 2 days ago. First full charge i got 1 hour more than stock battery. Going to report back after a few cycles in a couple days. My stock battery is 3100 mah/ Sporting Persistance is 4380...Will let you know

Just remember you won't have NFC capabilities, if you ever use it for anytime.

I dont use nfc. Bit how would that work anyway? The antena is on the phone itself how does the battery make nfc work?
I bought this battery to switch back and forth so if i did use nfc would it work when i put the stock battery back in?
Does nfc work with the zero lemon setup?
Sorry for all the questions just dont really know much about how it works but i do know what its for.

My stock sami battery doesnt say anything about nfc....my wifes gs3 says near field communication. So i guess i never had nfc option to begin with.
Is there any way to test the mah on a battery? After 5 charge cycles ot lasts about 2 to 3 hours longer and about 30 min more screen time than my stock battery. Its kinda close to call but i dont think it is the full 4380 mah they claim. I would love to know for sure though.

Update...
Few days of use now and this battery is horrible. I tested with stock battery about 7 months old. Tryed doing exact same thing with both batteries as close as i could. I also tested both playing candy crush saga for hours straight with same exact apps runnimg in background all times using greenify.
Conclusion is persistance is a complete lie. Stock battery blew it away in every category. Do not purchase waste of money. I hate scammers like this. Gonna send them email if they even have one.
DONT BUY!!!!!!!!

I guess i missed that part of the deceiving advertising. Trying to think of a reason why anyone would want a bat that lasts half as long as the stock. They deserve to be sued.
That explains why it lasts half the life of the stock. LOL what a joke. Hope people find this before they fall for the same nonsence i did.

I have several aftermarket batteries I tote around with me. I also have external chargers for them that just plug into the wall, and I place the battery into the charger. Its not OEM, but if your in the middle of something, a spare battery to finish what your doing is invaluable in a pinch.

Looking for high capacity S3 battery without extended cover

Hey guys what size of the battery is the largest without an extended cover? I was looking for 3000-3800 in that range. if there is any please let me know.

I think there is no any options without extended cover for 3000+ batteries but hey good luck

the only reason i don't want extended covers because my cases would be rendered useless.. but i will look around to see what I can find.

Shoot a link if you can find one it will be useful since I suffer from same thing and using extended case for 3000mah

Sorry man, form over function. If you're that concerned, get extra stocks and swap 'em

I've bought a 3200 maH NFC Linkdream Battery but when on the phone, the battery discharges faster than original.

Any batteries thats standard size rated higher than 2300mah will probably be false

http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ate-yesoo-4300-ultimate-battery-list-t1843896

so guys which is the best battery that will give extra mah ? , please suggest me one that u hav tryed ?

i think the most trusted non-original battery is the RAVPower 2250mA.
i also suggest an external battery (i bought the 14k mAh one by rav power), about 5-6 cycles of charges for our s3

A number of posters on another forum (link lost) reported being satisfied with the KINPS EB-L1G6LLU, and I recently picked one up from eBay, though XDA rules prevent me form posting the link.
It's standard size for an i9300, claims 3250mAh and is lasting quite a bit better than the standard battery I replaced. No LTE though.
