nice bundle pack with spare batteries !

found a nice bundle pack on ebay today, 12 dollars, comes with screen protectors which ill never use, a usb cable which is always handy, and more importantly, 2 spare batteries, 2 capacitive touch pens and external battery charger!
ive bought these chinese bundle packs before, the batteries work fine, cant tell a performance difference, the charger will charge the battery up to 70% faster than the phone can, but after that, it takes like 24 hours for the next 30% to fill up.. but blah, im really only buying it for the batteries

Yeah have fun, i wonder who will be the first dead.
exploding in your ear, while holding it in your hand, pwnd
unlikely, but who knows?
And who want to be the first to make this experience ?

I've always been reluctant to buy cheapo batteries on ebay for a reason.
In my Blackberry days (when I was a hardcore BBer) I could see the difference even if they said that they were OEM. They were copies of OEM, with printed lables that looked just like them. If the battery costs less than 20 euro (or lets say 25 USD) WITHOUT shipping OR it's coming from China, then I'd say no to it just to be safe. I just spent a lot of money on my phone. I'm not going to have it explode or have a battery leak into my phone just to save 10 euros.

My first and last aftermarket battery for my Nokia actually turned from white to yellow from the heat of charging and started bulging after a few months. After that experience, I decided to never risk my phone just to save a few dollars on batteries. After all, the battery is the lifeblood of the phone!

**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??

Review of 4300mah Extended Battery from tmart.com
Seems to be good, I decided to buy it

Has anyone gotten a wireless Qi charging receiver pad working with these bigger batteries? If so how'd you go about it?

Slow charge problem

Sounds like your battery is bad. If you have the phone/battery for about a year or less, it's possible the battery is defective. If you have another battery use that one, but if you have a new battery you will need to cycle charge the battery. This means you have to charge from 0 to 100, let it deplete completely and keep doing the same thing for about 3-6 charges. This effectively breaks in a battery giving you the best longevity.

sorry to revive this thread but did a new battery work for you? I'm experiencing similar problems since the MM update, without fast charging enabled it charges at about 600mah, with fast charging enabled its about 1000mah but tapers off to 400mah once it gets to 85%
I'm not sure if its my battery or if this is a new "feature" of MM, last time that i charged from 30% it took 4 hours to reach 100% if anyone got a suggestion let me know.

3-4 hours is great compared to mine. If I use the USB cable, it'll take about 12+ hours (0-100%). Problem started after I dropped the phone. Luckily wireless charging takes about 5 hours.

Used to be no more than 2 hours before, not sure what the problem is, the battery is only a year old

replacement battery

The 4 year model, I got 2 years ago, battery was draining fast so concluded battery old. I replaced the battery it was easy.
Used this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzknIzaAijQ
and bought the battery from here

It's not to complicated, you just want to make sure that the new battery matches the same capacity as the old one, that's in the spec sheet. Also there is a handy tool to diagnose a faulty battery, just buy an usb mobile battery tester, that shows mah. In order to get a proper reading tho you have to change the device when the battery is completely flat. then plug in a usb mobile battery tester, and wait until its fully chaged and it should give you a reading of your true battery capacity.

Could anybody tell me if there's an build date on the original battery ???

July 2013.

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
