Battery Options - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I'm looking for an upgrade to the stock battery. Found some 1950s on eBay. What's the best upgrade without needing a new battery cover?

We got 3 of the 1950 batteries on eBay and they have been great so far.
(You might have someone move this to accessories sub forum btw)

Anker battery?

I just read about somone mentioning it runs much cooler than the stock battery? Is this true? Can I find them at radioshack or something?

Yes, they run cooler than the OEM battery. Just order them off of Amazon. The two-pack with the charger is cheaper than one OEM battery even factoring in one-day shipping.
When I bought mine, I got a single battery + charger for $3 plus shipping on amazon.
You can find them at all different prices, and if you scout it out for a few days you'll probably find a great deal.
Go read through the whole anker battery thread in the accessories sub-section of the MT4GS forums, you'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about an anker battery.
it does but it doesn't have a temperature sensor, which is very bad imo for safety reasons

Post 2 of the anker battery thread is where I linked to the amazon page I bought it from.
I bought it on August 16th. The price fluctuates like crazy, so just keep checking until you see a good deal on it.
Yesterday they were 23-something at that link. Today they are 18-something at that link. Who knows what they'll be tomorrow.
As they run lower in stock the price goes down, then when they get a new shipment in the price goes back up.
When I bought mine, it was the last one in stock at the time.
Just keep an eye out.
Even at the mentioned prices the two-pack of Anker batteries is cheaper than one OEM battery of a lower mAh.

ATT store bestbuy extended batteries?

When I got my skyrocket I saw extended battery and case thing at the att store, didn't look at the mah of it though. It was like $80. Does bestbiy sell anything similar?
I see all these ones in this forum to buy online but I'm in desperate need for one right now. I kill my phone in 8hrs or less. If the att one is around the 3800 mark like these others I may just grab that. Didn't know if anyone saw anything at bestbuy though.
That's a Powerskin. It's a case with a battery built in. Other threads have more info.

I had powerskin, didn't like it. Got extra batteries instead.

Going to ask the same thing. I know there was some, but im wondering if they are all sold out by now, the infuse is forgotten by the manufacturers lol.
Google Infuse Extended Battery immediately shows 5 sets $13 to $30. Each includes a battery and a replacement cover (the battery is too big to fit without replacing the cover).
One problem is you'll have a hard time finding a case to fit.
Lots of info on this forum - search "extended" in title or 3500 in title.
(I'm not trying to knock, anyone down about searching, just pointing in the direction of the info I know about)
Check eBay. They have 3500mah batteries.

I got a 2100mah for my infuse wich is an upgrade from the 1750mah stock one and is still the same size so no bigger back cover and can still use my ballistic. Adds about 4 to 8 hours on my phone on normal use. Was a quick drain at first but after about 10 full drain and full charche the battery woke up and began getting WAY better

Spare batteries

So im looking for a spare battery to use, what would you guys recommend? I read some good reviews about the anker battery but i dont like how its bigger and it makes the back bulge. Ive seen some ebay OEM batteries for a good price and also found these for extremely cheap http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-3000mAh..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item51aae2b2ed
Now i know these probably wont last as long as the oem battery but my question is is there any downside or long term damage that can occur to the phone itself by using these sub par batteries?
I'm also in the market for spare batteries + wall charger.. I had 3 for my old HTC Incredible, and it was an absolute luxury. However, I had to try 2 or 3 different companies before I found some that didn't lose their capacity

I bought those and tend to be good ones though they are 2600mah not 3kmah like the one you posted

ebay r all crap, even the "OEM" one. just register ur phone and get 50% off any oem accesory.
i've used the anker batteries and it fits just fine. there's no bulge in the back.

Heck for $13 I might just try it. 3,000mAh that would fit in the OEM back would be awesome!

I know I'll regret it but I could not control myself and ordered these from ebay last week for 10.99 w/free shipping
3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh
99% of the batteries on ebay seem to come from China/Hong Kong and these come from nanuet ny.
I don't know why I mention this but it did play a part in my deciding on these
If they suck, I'll have wasted $11 and I'll go ahead and order the onite or anker batteries
I'll let everyone know after I receive them
I bought the ones off of OP's link to Ebay as well. I'll post with impressions once I get them in. 3 batteries and a wall charger for $12 is nearly too good to be true... but I'm only out $12. We'll see.
momax sell good quality spare batteries (used on both my s2 and s3)...ordered one for my s4 a little over a week ago, just waiting for it to arrive...

Lots of batteries on eBay r trash, I've made the mistake of buying extended batteries for my s2 on eBay,.. it was a 4500mah and the stock battery lasted longer lol,... I'd recommend Onite batteries, it's what I'm currently using , awesome battery and you can Damn near get 3 for the price of one Samsung stock replacement battery. And it does have NFC. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B26ZSL2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1369925774&sr=8-1&pi=SL75

It's exactly the same as the factory 2600mah battery,..I've done a comparison test and posted some screen shots of my results, I think I titled it Onite Battery Review ,.. so yes it's exactly the same size as the factory battery , they also make extended batteries,.I'll be testing a 5200mah soon, and there making an even bigger one than that soon ,.it's definitely a good battery

yea i saw it, but also i was thinking you could be a little biased since you've been a tester for them for a while
Not at all,..if they sucked I would say so as a beta tester that's what your suppose to do if, they send you a product test and you just lie about it, what's the point really? ..I don't take sides and I'm not getting paid to post positive reviews ,I got a battery, tested it, posted the screen shots,..I am in NO way endorsed by them lol.. just read other reviews or ask someone who has the same battery how they like it,.. Anker and all those other companies make good batteries also,...certainly a LOT better the trash you're gonna find on eBay,(which I have 4 from past phones , 2 which don't even work, the other 2 are 4500mah extended batteries that barely last 5 hours)

Thanks for this thread because I need to purchase a backup or two (just to be safe). I seen these on Amazon and was wondering if anyone else has purchased them and their views on the Anker line. Thanks in advance.

Top batteries (normal size)

There is already few threads like this but i like to get more info on most popular non-orginal batteries from people with little longer use.
My own experience is with Cameron Sino 2600mah with little under 1 year of use and still working pretty good.
I chose this battery cause it fills all certificates and i got it fast in my country.
Now i`m planning next battery after few months but can't find much information or reviews.
I'm considering Anker or PolarCell and also same as i currently have cause it worked well.
Any recommendations or opinions for this?
I'd go for original samsung one if it is still available for you.

thx i was sliding to this choice
I can get one for 20$ with year of guarantee
Got the ravpower 2800mah battery. Awesome purchase, and it lasts longer than the OEM, because of the extra 200 mah's.
Way cheaper than the OEM, and just as good. Going with ravpower from now on, or until I need new batteries, which won't be for another year and a half, probably.

I don't get why anyone would actually pay that type of $$$ for the OEM when the ravpower is just as good, AND lasts longer. Makes no sense.
