So, I'm looking to replace my 6 month old stock Epic battery, and was thinking while I was at it I might as well get the best one available to me, with the only requirement being that it doesn't require a new phone back plate. Searching/Browsing this forum has proved somewhat unsuccessful, the best threads I found were this one where slvr00gt debunks the mAh ratings of some Chinese batteries, and this nondescript thread where the 1650 mAh battery from the Galaxy S is discussed (some sellers seem to be packaging 1500 mAh batteries as 1650 mAh batteries).
It seems the best option currently available for replacing your stock battery while keeping the same form factor is the same Samsung 1500 mAh battery or the 1650 mAh Samsung battery from the Galaxy S (although sourcing a genuine one seems to be difficult currently).
Are there other options out there I'm missing? Planning on keeping this post updated as a guide, btw.
The battery from europe is genuine.

Some guy from Solvania is selling them and I can say his batteries are genuine I weight my standard 1500 mah stock battery and it weighs 32.1 grams and the 1650 mah replacement stock battery weighs 33.5 grams which weighs approximately 4% more than the 1500 mah stock battery. The other batteries I got from china weighed in at 29.6 grams, 29.4 grams and 28.9 grams the weight on these battery are inconstistant. But I got all three batteries with the charger for 1/3 the price I paid for my replacement battery from europe.
Do you have a link to these Solvania batteries? Good batteries are going to be heavier then the cheaper ones.

The Mugen 1300mAH battery is just a sliver thicker than the stock Toshiba, fits perfectly in the device with the normal back cover and gives 30% additional capacity. Couple of those and should cover most eventualities.
The larger capacity ones come with a replacement read cover which accomodates the additional thickness. There is a separate thread on MoDaCo where there are some users' pictures which may be of help.
I've used Mugen in various devices for some years and found them to be good quality / value.
Wondering which battery to get of them two, I've read some users saying that the 3500M battery is actually smaller than the 3000M which would indicitate it has less capacity? They've also said that it doesn't live up to the rated capacity in terms of usage time. I'm leaning toward the 3000M battery as it seems to have a better reputation. I also don't really want to spend more than ~$15 on the new battery.
Also, which one has a better feel to it with the cover?
I was bought this one http://www.batteryupgrade.com/shopB...rtmentProductId/42252157/shopGroupId/46205854
from renomierung distributer (know from many pasts ordering), and im very,very satisfacted.

Any picture of a battery that size in the sgs?
Hvala Miro. It's a bit expensive though.
I was thinking of one of these
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3000mAh-Exte...Accessories&hash=item5add807a84#ht_4261wt_905
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3500M-EXTEND...Accessories&hash=item4aa5e7292d#ht_1727wt_905
none of those batteries really offer the advertized capacities, probably the 3500 will give you a few hours more than the 3000 but expect them to be like 75% or less of their real rated capacity.
Some people have said in other threads that the 3500m one is actually smaller than the 3000, which should mean that the actual capacity is lower?

I purchased both from e-cell in UK. They look pretty much identical, the 3500 one has label only on one side and it's a little thinner. But they are higher capacity than the stock one, about twice the capacity.
Doing my usual test while communting on metro and train, reading news with screen at minimum brightness, with the standard battery I usually lose 20% in 1 hour, with the big battery I lose 10%.
The back cover is a little too big and there's a space between the battery and the cover, so it moves, I had to fill the gap with a piece of paper.
@vcespon
You have a 3000mAh and a 3500mAh battery?
Do you have now more experience in the differences?
Is here a owner of a 3000mAh Yoobao Accu?
It seems Yoobao is a "quality label"?!?
A comparison of budget 3500mAh and budget 3000mAh and Yoobao 3000mAh would very interesting.
Specifically, the running time for the same use (eg video loop).
The Yoobao battery costs three times more as the cheapest noname battery.
€7, the chepeast 3500mAh battery and €21 for the 3000mAh Yoobao.
Is the desk stand the only difference?
Hello everybody,
I am wonder if the battery of the SGS II is compatible with its predecessor. Because the battery seems to have a higher capacity than the one of the Galaxy S I, I am wonder if the battery will fit and work. Has anyone tried this? I could use some extra batterypower.
No, they are not the same size. However, the battery from the Armani SGS (i9010) is also a 1650mah and that one is identical in shape and size. Check out the accessories section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886743) for more information - there were people selling these on eBay.

Ah ok. Just noticed that I missed the whole accesories section indeed .
And the i9003 (1650mAh) battery will also fit.

If u really want a good battery life, Hk and china's online stores have 2700mah and 3000 mah, both are made my different companies, also come with additional back cover, because of high capacity size also big, you cant use regular samsung's back cover, I feel this one is better brand name MOMAX, COmpany from HK, 2700 mah, price is 300 rmb, around 40 USD

Please, pay attention on this matter.
Usually, cheap and higher-capacity batteries are lithium polymer technology opposed to the safer but more expensive lithium-ion ones you have in your phone.
I am not saying it will inevitably result in spontaneous combustion, nor that you should not do it at all, just that the risk is higher. (The charging circuitry is usually specifically designed for a certian battery, and not hongkonk replacements).
Even if you do use them without problems (I had a few of those myself), please, dispose of it once you observe it seems to "swell", meaning it getting thicker than before.
Consult youtube if you want to know what exactly could happen in worst case (search for lithium battery fire) - lithium burns at higher temperatures than 2.000 degrees celsius.

That's why I use external wall charger
I never charge high capacity batteries while plugged to the device

From what I've seen, most cheap, higher-capacity batteries are, simply not higher capacity. Someone over in the Captivate forum actually did some quantitative measurements. The results were that none of the cheap, 3rd party batteries came close to their listed capacity. Only the OEM batteries were close to their rated capacity.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906611
Edit: The doubles-sized, extended batteries will certainly have more capacity than the OEM stock battery, but it's not likely to have anywhere near the capacity that it says it does. Oh, and, as far as I know, these tests were not done on any of the premium 3rd party batteries - just the cheap ones.
I got the 1650mAh Armani battery for about 24€ includet taxes and sending.
Its really great and fits like the stock one. I dont want to buy china-bombs,
that make my phone look like a call booth.

The 1650 mAh battery you are talking about is the one for the galaxy SL? Does it fit into the sgs properly?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
The ones using 1650 mah batteries can you tell me that you realized longer battery life?
Since it is only 10 percent higher than the stock battery it should have only 10 percent more battery life. So the extension of battery life for me it is about 2 - 2.5 more hours MAXIMUM and that does not make sense to me.
It should be 10% but for me it feels more like 20-30%.
Maby I loaded my 1500mAh battery wrong,
but it seems to me to be a bigger different between both.
i just saw this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864638
and that person get a 3500 mah battary for 8 doller for the epic 4g which is really cheap and yet if you look at the battary life its amazing i was wondering if i buy this one for the galaxy s1
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3500mAh-Ext...899&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&sd=220794031234&
will it be the same?
anyone bought one of those 3500 mah battarys and check out the life vs stock one?
*bump*
Basically, it's not rocket science. If the battery is the same size as the OEM battery, it's very likely that it's not any bigger, if not smaller.
Don't be fooled by 'Japanese Compression Technology' (my favourite line from eBay batteries lol), it's about as believable as 'Authentic Chinese Replica;.
it's depends on your luck, maybe you will get a good battery life, as the OP of the thread, but in my experience (a friend bought a 2500 mAh battery for my i9001) lifetime of stock battery is better.
Hello guys, this battery is good?
http://www.tinydeal.com/pt/4350mah-...t-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-s5-p-123321.html
Bought and i'm waiting for it.
NO!
Dont ever buy gold batterys! there all fakes.
Try ankar or zerolemon
i have a 7500mah anker battery for my s5. it is beast. even on the first day of ownership of the anker battery, i noticed a huge increase in battery life. i highly recommend the anker 7500mah battery or zerolemon battery. both are reviewed with high ratings on amazon and the respective anker and zerolemon sites.

Yeah,Anker,Zerolemon and Onite batteries are very popular on Amazon.
It's 4 dollars. You have nothing to lose.
Except if it's really crap quality and it overheats and ends up shorting your device. Or even worse catching fire or something.
looking at the same battery right now.
Is it any good? better than stock battery? last longe, doesn't get hot... ?
The cells in those cheap batteries just aren't up to the job of high drain phones like the S5, so all you doing is risking the battery shorting or overheating and going pop inside your phone, so spend a few dollars extra and get an Anker battery because they are good.
And thinking about the capacity they pronounce you never ever will get even near 4000mAh or more mAh with a LiIon/Poly battery with the dimensions of the original S5 battery.
We had a thread here about MPJ replacement battery for the S5 (thread at xda, producers webshop) which should be a 4300mAh version. I only bought it in order to check the capacity because there was a big discussion on this. I checked it with a special computer driven battery charger and with the S5 itself. It had nearly the same capacity as my some month old original S5 battery. I cannot say anything about long term use because I only tested it for some weeks.
So my recommendation would be get an original battery directly from Samsung (in order to not get a fake) or look after Anker (I tested it good with my S3), Zerolemon, MPJ. They are more or less proved quality.
