We know the device is close to launch – it’s no secret at this point. More inventory shots have cropped up, though, showing accessories for the device. Outside of the usual collection of chargers, cases, and screen protectors, We’re learning that Verizon will be offering a 2200mAh extended battery for the device – that’s compared to the 1500mAh that’ll come with it by default. As most other carriers haven’t offered official extended batteries for their Galaxy S devices, we’re wondering if one can walk into Verizon and buy one for the Fascinate to insert into their Vibrant, Captivate, or Epic 4G. Someone will try it in due time.

I await AllGamer's response and probable enthusiasm.
i'll definitely buy some if they stay in the same shape as they are
as in not requiring the change of the back cover
Will it need a different back cover?
Very interesting. New back plate would suck.
$50 bucks is not a bad deal, but I am waiting for photos because it says it comes with an extended battery door.

oh crap you are right, it does say "includes battery door"
eeewwwwwwwww noooooo why why why all the good battery sizes needs to change into a fat ugly battery door
Lithium Ion is not a magical technology. You can't stuff money into a battery and get more capacity without increasing the volume. Hence, extended battery covers. I'd actually like an extended battery cover that does away with the funky "hump" in favor of an pure flat-back.
Physics - they're not just rules, they're the LAW.
for those of us that have the international version, or the i9000m.
the i500's rear-end is different than ours.
that extended cover, would completely cover up our speaker. and there would be this gap right down from under the camera

I think this is just a placeholder, but good to know they'll be coming ...

Good price, but as much as I would like the extra time, this thing is bound to look very, very ugly. But I would love to be wrong.
i'm willing to try it out if they are really available
however that website looks rather dodgy, i'll much rather pick one up from ebay than from then.
there are a lot of bad stuff in ebay, but there are also good ones if you know how to look.
if the 2400mAh starts popping out on ebay, then you know it's real, but for now the only ones listed on ebay are just the regular 1500mAh
lol the phone looks ugly with it...
buying the galaxy s because it is less than 1cm big and extending the battery so it become 2cm big ....
yep, I definitely wouldn't order from that website - but makes me wonder if they already know the likes of Mugen or Seidio are going to produce a 2400mAh version.
phone getting ugly is price paid for doubling/tripling battery life. so long as it remains comfortable in the hand and fits in my pocket i'm mostly looking at the screen on the SGS anyway ...
i'll rather 2 extra battery packs to keep the phone in its normal size instead.
if you wear jeans or carry a briefcase/backpack, 2 small batteries can fit anywhere.
even if you are on a date, you can slip 1 in in your front pocket
looks like samsung added a bunch of accessories for the galaxy and vibrant to their accessories page
here's one for that desk charging dock w/spare battery (battery included) for $50
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...ype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&returnurl=
You're right, looks like they've even added new back panels that'll fit the Galaxy S! Looks promising.

Daymm 5000 :|.
there is another model with 2000mAh, cheaper
i don't think those are compatible with the SGS i9000
There are not spare batteries, more something like portable wireless chargers... You can connect your usb-microusb to that and it will recharge your phone...
In the past ten years I have always seen business men have either two phones, or an extra battery or two. Mind you, original batteries are the only way to go. Second-rate Class-A batteries tend to lost proper functionality within 3-6 months of constant use. Also factor in the explosion ratio.

Hi, first post on xda, gotta say great forum for android devices. Anybody got any news on extended batteries, want to get my hands on a 3000+mah. Checked google but nothing at all regarding batteries for the SGS.
Thanks.
they are none out yet, of all the ones i've found are only 1500mAh

It's only 150mah "extra" (less that 10% above stock capacity) so, even **IF** the rating is correct and not just advertising or outright false (how can anyone dispute their claims without actual controlled testing methods) how much difference can it REALLY make?
I find these "extended" battery claims are usually just BS. There was an engineer guy on one of the digital camera forums that put all these "extended" 3rd party camera batteries to test under stringent controlled testing with very expensive equipment and virtually every one was BS.
Just like the claims for transfer speed of SD cards. Most all of them failed to come close and without controlled testing there really is no way to prove or disprove their claims.
Edit: If you really believe in the tooth fairy here is a guy selling THREE "alleged" 1900mah batteries AND a charger for under $17.00. I'd bet they are the identical cells to the 1 for $20 or 1 for $25 ones.
Well, some of the extended batteries are physically larger and require an alternate battery cover, these are legit.
In the case of an extended battery that is the same form factor like this one, it's either:
1) BS
2) The battery's physical structure has been weakened (things are thinner) to provide more room for electrolyte/electrodes.

Generally that is very true. However they're only legit if the bigger size really packs more "stuff." Bigger isn't always better. Just because it says it 3800mah doesn't mean it is. It could still be only 2500. Kind of like the $89 2000 watt amps. It all depends on how you measure it and if anyone actually checks.
Are there any "bigger" extended batteries for the Infuse yet?
I'm in Canada, with Rogers and have had a 727R for about 18 months. It's time for a new battery mid-contract.
But Rogers doesn't sell them any more. Nor does Best Buy, Future Shop, the Source etc. There are lots of phone vendors around, but I find that they sell them at $20 - $30, and they must be used, because even after a few cycles and battery calibration, they are usually worse than my old battery. I've bought two from different vendors in the Pacific Mall, they were awful.
I've been told that unless Samsung sells it to you, it's a refurbished battery. Don't even know what that might be...how do you refurb a battery?
So with the retailers no longer stocking batteries for non-current phones, where does one get a NEW Skyrocket battery in Canada?
Also looking for a Verizon Samsung Nexus Extended Battery (2200) as per another thread here. They are gone! Nobody has them. I'd love to try one on my Skyrocket, as it's a higher capacity and most say the fit is not an issue, but nobody seems to sell those either. Ebay sellers are out of stock with no idea if they are coming back in.
Is this what it's come to? Do you throw your phone away after 18 months???
I have the Verizon nexus battery and it fits fine. I guess I should hold on to my stock one just in case. Having said that, I've had mine for 14 months and I haven't noticed any degradation in battery life.

We have Amazon, but there are Samsung Nexus Extended Battery (2200) left anywhere, and the cheap $20 batteries all seem to be refurbished, none of them last very long.

Almost all of those batteries aren't "refurbished". For refurbishing the battery you need to replace the battery itself, keeping the battery controller chip and battery housing. This is mostly done in laptops.
However, housing is almost non-existent on i727 battery - it consists of 2 plastic covers, lower and upper, with the upper holding the controller chip. All the rest of the space is the battery.
What you get when you buy a battery from eBay will most likely be counterfeit, AKA fake. It's a smaller battery wrapped in plastic housing with a chip. It won't have NFC even if written on it, and it'll hold 1/2 the time of the original battery - and the "SAMSUNG" glued paper on it will be just that - a paper.
I've disassembled one of those, so the info is first hand.
Hi all, just stopping in for a bit with some information pertaining to extended batteries.
Most, if not all extended batteries made for the Infuse were made when the phone was first introduced over 2.5 years ago. That being said, understand that Li-Ion batteries do have a shelf life not unlike that of alkaline batteries in the sense that their useful life gets shorter over time. Li-ion batteries come from the factory with a full charge in preparation for the perceived storage time, and will usually be sold before the end of their useful life cycle. Most times this is around 3 years.
See where this is going?
If the extended batteries were made when our phone was introduced, and our phone is now around 2.5 years old, AND Li-Ion batteries only have around a 3 year shelf life, what's to say were not being sold junk when we buy an extended battery from an online auction site?
I've had good experiences and bad ones with buying extended batteries online, and most vendors are willing to work with you in the event of a failed battery, but you will notice that less and less of these extended batteries will be offered for sale, and the ones that are will be nearly brand new with a hefty price tag to boot.

My thinking exactly, didn't know if it was legitimate though, and I was only guessing at approximate shelf life so thanks Pox for confirmation! I ordered a new battery just yesterday!
Only 1800 mAh though. I'm only trying to see if it's the infamous power button issue or not that's causing shut downs and I need to rule out a faulty battery (currently running some cheap 1450 mAh $5 battery from cellphoneshop.net, first and last time I get that one) as an issue.
I generally found that every extended beyond 2100 mAh requires a new back, making the phone thicker and therefore incompatible with most cases.
Well, as to prove a point and make me look foolish, the extended battery in my gfs Infuse decided it was time to let out the magic smoke just last night.
It erupted with enough force to crack the screen from the inside (outer screen is undamaged) and got hot enough to melt the sim card to the socket!
I will be taking pictures as I would like to try to get the seller of the battery to either replace or repair the phone. If not I'll be seeking another Infuse...

I don't think it's beyond repair, but to be honest I don't think it's worth the effort.
It does boot with nothing on the screen but a screen to fit this phone is actually more than I can get the phone for.
I was able to boot the phone and extract the over 8gig of pics and various other stuff, now the phone is sitting in waiting for Samsung or the seller of the defective battery to get back to me about a possible replacement.
was checking amazon for extended batts for my new relay and noticed that most/all said they fit both the relay and the i415 stratosphere 2/ii. so i searched for i415 batteries and found an actual samsung 3000mah unit - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C2ZEU4S/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1402385505&sr=8-4&pi=SL75
you can see that it's both 3.8v and 3000mah. the watt-hours listed on the flip side are almost double the stock one in my relay. there's another listing that also comes w/ the door for just a few bucks more, or some listings w/ just the door. the door has a verizon logo on it, but i bet a little thinner or nail polish remover would fix that.
for as cheap as it is, i'm willing to try it out. i will get the one w/ the stratosphere door. i'll also be buying one of the generic ones that actually says relay and comes w/ a door, since it looks like the camera opening might be slightly different. will compare fitment and battery life and of course post back here.
unless of course this has already been tried and failed...

sounds like the one i just ordered. it's currently on the slow boat from china so i'll see it end of month if i'm lucky. now that my contract at vzw is officially up, i'll be going to tmo on friday to pick up some sim cards. yes, tmo is offering to pay your ETF, but the catch is you have to buy a phone from them AND trade in your old one. well they wouldn't sell me a relay as part of the deal and my droid4 supposedly has zero tradein value, so i had to wait out my contract. also sucks that i had to buy another sgs3 for my wife - her verizon one would technically work for voice/text with a tmo sim (in theory) but data would be like 2g speeds. no thanks. hopefully i can sell the vzw s3 (and some redundant accessories like otterbox/etc) to make up the difference.
meanwhile i've already rooted the relay and am about to try out liquidsmooth.
well the mpj 5000mah batt died and now i'm not having any luck getting warranty service. earlier this month it got very hot and swelled up to the point that the back cover no longer closes. bought in june, arrived in august (slow bot indeed) and died in early march. just over 7 months.
might try the strat2 batt this time since i dont want to wait another month for one to be shipped from china again.

I just put a Statosphere II battery (the Polar one linked above) in my wife's Relay. Zero issues, and WAY easier than fitting the bigger battery that required shaving down the back (from Nardholio's thread). That battery died after just a few months, so fingers crossed this Stratosphere II battery last longer (or my wife decides she can give up her physical keyboard!).

It's a 2100mAh battery w/NFC that fits in the stock relay back (there's actually some extra room in there).
Ooh that does sound nice. Im beginning to regret ordering another standard OEM one from china. All the good batteries are understandably in America and have ridiculous postage costs to Australia. I hope the polar works out. It might be the next one I get.
