Recommend me a battery.

Hi,
I'm looking to replace the stock 1500mAh battery in my nearly 2-year-old Galaxy S. I've had a look around a notice their are some high capacity ones available. However, I'm not looking for those "extended" packs, it needs to have the same dimensions as the stock battery in order to fit into the case I use. I have no idea which manufacturers are reliable, can somebody help me out?

I've heard recommendations of Anker batteries of 1800mAh. You can find them easily on Amazon.

In one of the big battery threads here on the forum 3 1800mah batteries are compared: anker, polarcell and samsung. The samsung is the most expensive. The polarcell and anker are more or less the same price and most users said the polarcell performed the best. I have one of these and it's much better than the stock, so i sugest you buy a polarcell of amazon

You can't trust the mAh-specifications of most batterys anyway so I'd choose Polarcell since they last longer than the original ones.

You can't add another 930ma capacity on top of the standard 1500mah without increasing the size. It's a lie

Hello everyone,
i have a SGS+ with the stock battery of 1650mAh. I am wondering if it worth to buy one of 1800mAh such us the Polarcell you mentioned.
Which is the (average) difference on hours?
Thanks in advance!

I would say if your battery needs replacing anyway then yes buy the anker or polarcell, but if your battery doesn't need replacing then its not really worth 'upgrading'.

I've been using Polarcell for more than 6 months now. Better than my aging stock and utterly reliable so far.

do you know if they if battery is built in NFC or is it on the phone? I thought I saw somewhere that the NFC was part of the battery on the s4? and if it is, do you know if the anker battery has this too?

They weren't able to increase mah of battery?

I had this same exact package when I had the S3. It was awesome...
Thanks for the link, I just ordered it for my upcoming S4.

guess that they are going to do so, when i check back gs3 batteries, they provided basic mah unit while you have more options for extended batteries, am keeping an eye on it

On s3 they extended at the same stock size and yes was nfc compatible can't see how it won't be for s4. Bummer if they don't put in More mahs though.

What's the point of 2600 mah battery? Just to use as a spare one?

it's not yet 30th but battery is available now , im getting for me s4, pity that they still have no over size units
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CBTTA4A/

i got the Onite 2600mAh Battery on order. it's only $6 and i have the S3 version which works pretty good. not sure about NFC, but i only need it as a backup battery in emergency. they also have Onite 2 batteries plus the dock charger for $15

Looks like Hyperion has an extended battery for S4 now on Amazon.

Is there a website where they review batteries like these to see how they fair as far as the stock batteries?

I got a pair of the Anker batteries for my Atrix. They work pretty well and have lasted longer than the OEM one. But the oem wasn't holding a full charge anyway. It was nice that I got it with the universal charger. It'll charge just about any phone battery. Sometimes you just need that extra battery when you're out all day. Batteries drain when the GPS is running.. Ingress.. shame on you!

here are the extended batteries:

just got an email back from ZeroLemon,
they say mid may is the release for their Galaxy S 4 battery-pack/case combos !!
i responded asking if they were taking pre-orders, and if they could say the mAh capacity.
since the s3 pack was 7000, id say the S 4 will be similar.
*excellent*

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trexcell-Sa..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item5af1b5b7ae
2) or this: (hyperion, 5200mah, NFC+GOOGLE WALLET enabled)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hyperion-Sa..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item43bb64addd

note to OP:
dont buy cheap chinese batteries.
1) they wont last
2) they dont ever advertise their true specs
3) they are manufactured with lax standards. dont be surprised if you wake up one morning and find you phone has melted.

thank you i have removed the 7000 mah battery..
why there is no picture ?
and do you think the 3000mah zerolemon's battery is better than 5200mah trexcell's/hyperion's batteries? (i know its not all about the capacity)
and when it will be out in the next days/ even more than a month? cuz i wanna see a picture before i buy..

I like that Zerolemon is coming out with that 3000. I would like any of the 5200 if it weren't for how much bulk they add. Any other companies announce or have something in the 3000-4000 range? I actually wouldn't mind a slightly larger back on the phone to recess the camera lens.

Too much added bulk. From the pictures they look like they almost triple the thickness of the phone. A larger battery/cover combo that adds about half that thickness would be perfect in my opinion.

Good and working Battery Extended? Any Suggestions?

Hi Guys,
i got my S4 9505 from 1 month and i very very happy with it..also for good battery life, but we have removable battery and maybe there is some battery better than original..
I looking for a battery with the original size dimension but more big than the original..but above all really big.. not only write on it.. but it must to be really extended..
if someone use some battery extended with original size and is certain that is extended can give me information about your battery life, screen on time and link for buy it?
Thanks

No suggestions?

Please note it is not physically possible to accommodate more capacity into the battery for the same size, if that was possible I guess samsung would had done that for us. However why not purchase extra charger and battery case made by samsung.
But I do see Mugen doing a change by providing 2750mAh battery of same size. Check here at amazon.
Or you might have to get large extended battery and find the best the chose from.

I think battery up to 3500 mAh on ebay can suited the original back cover (according to seller description). Many of those selling these batteries on ebay, but I still haven't try one. Maybe later I'll try.

No, impossible. They claim to be 3500's but the are not. Most/all of the aftermarket high(er) capacity batteries are bogus, capacity wise.

above user is correct, don't go for chinese counterfeits claiming 3500 in same capacity and dimensions. I think the mugen is the only one out there, but its rather a stupidity.

its seems 3000mAh.. but i dont know this ZeroLemon and if this battery are good..
someone know or use this 3000mAh ZeroLemon?
Ps. Thanks guys for your replys :good:

I had a Zero Lemon slim extended battery on my SGS3. It was 2400mah vs the stock 2100. It was pretty good, giving an extra 30-45 minutes or so extra screen time and another 90-120 minutes of run time. If you find you're just cutting it close at the end of the day and you can't charge mid-day, it's worth the $20 for a pair of them plus a charger. You can get them on Amazon too. I haven't bought the S4 versions yet but I plan to - my wife and I can each get a little more battery life for a total of $20 that way.
You lose NFC, though. that's probably why they have a higher capacity - no NFC antenna. If you use that feature, or S-Beam or whatever, skip the Zero Lemons.

Hi guys,
nobody have tryed this battery http://www.ebay.it/itm/ZeroLemon-2x...hone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item19e14ab68c&_uhb=1 on GS4?
I'd like to know if is good battery, if is not dangerous and if is true extendend..
thanks

I ended up with a Hyperion because it would fit the Seidio Extended (and it did perfectly). I was not at all impressed with the reviews on teh 3000mah ZeroLemon because it seems like it was thicker than the stock battery and put a bit of a bulge on the battery door. I was afraid it would not fit cases properly so I skipped it.

i researched a lot on zerolemon ...
their product is good and is as stated no scams !!
i couldnt buy it coz they were charging $19.99 + $17(shipping) and i bought the original samsung battery kit for $32 where i live .....
but i had researched a lot on the company before making the decision towards them.... only regret is samsung gave me 1 battery + charger 1.7mAh .... zerolemon was giving 2 batteries + chrager 600mAh.... so i basically traded only battery for a charger that charges a battery in 1hr and 30mins 0% --> 100% .....

so whats the best rate for getting a good 12 to 14 hour outta your batt

I remember that brand of batteries from my Sensation days.
I bought a few.
They're nowhere near what they're advertised as.
Good thing they were relatively cheap.

then original one still the best option
