Has anyone try buying some eBay battery for the Infuse?
I saw some seller w/ 1800-1900 mah lithium and charger for around $12.
There are also some 3500mah ext battery that is too large for the phone and comes with a different back plate.
Anyone know regarding reliability or fit?
(I had some prev batteries for different phones that does not quite fit properly.)
TIA

Bought 2 batteries with wall charger.
working ok and easy to charge
however they are NOT last long as original one.
they are 1800mAh but it last only 8 hours in average
my original Samsung battery last much longer than that.. last more than 12 hours average...
I'm looking for cheap 820 spare batteries and a standalone battery charger. Understandably, this is a new phone and folks can't expect a lot of accessories to be on the market yet, but I figured we could have a thread to track the options.
For the Samsung Focus we were satisfied with generic batteries and chargers like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Batteries-GT-...sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+focus+battery+charger
These batteries are still working OK after a year of use although they only last about 80% as long as the name brand batteries and according to our kitchen scale weigh a few grams less. The charger just cut out and fails to charge after a solid year of daily use. I opened it up planning to diagnose with the multimeter, but never got around to fixing it. Really though for $13 it wasn't bad for 2 working spare batteries. So I'm looking for something similar for the 820.
+1 for this, I am also looking for something same. Got it for my old HD2 and I bought the Lumnia 820, because of you can change the battery and extend your memory with the microSDHC Card.
We will see what time will bring us on extensions for the device. I think its to new at the moment.
Same again...looking for a spare battery for the Lumia 820

I will also be looking for to purchase one regardless of how difficult to remove the caseback.
Universal cell/camera Li-ion battery charger
Has anyone used one of these universal chargers that allows you to move the charging pins to fit any battery?

Might be a good option.
AT&T still has the best shipped price for replacement batteries in the USA:

Even if the site still shows a Samsung Focus-S battery
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07Y0K09316
Best price I can find from a brand I suppose I can trust. After all, it is sold on Newegg. $9.99 with free shipping
I want it because I it says it is a Li-Ion as opposed to the stock Li-Po battery. For some reason I just don't trust Li-Po batteries.
I've used an external charger with adjusting pins for about a year. Radio shack sells them. It's not the best quality but as long as you don't drop it, its all good. No complaints other then the price. But locally their not easy to find.

can i buy one with larger capacity?
The EZO power one I posted earlier is 100 mAh more at 1750mAh. I haven't used it very long, so I don't know if it lasts any longer..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07Y0K09316
Also, there is a Mugen Power one for $45. It is 150mAh more at 1800mAh total.

The EZO battery is $6 shipped at Amazon 3rd party vendor Bluemall:

We got the EZO battery and the cheap universal clamp charger from amazon as well. It works, but it doesn't last nearly as long as the OEM battery and the charger takes quite a long time to fully charge the battery. For $6 it ain't bad though.

I tried the ezo battery, and it actually lasted longer than the original battery, when it worked. I may have gotten a bad one though because it just started dumping its full charge all at once, and my phone would just die after about 3 or so hours.

Well for the first, people get extra batteries so that when the first one dies(OEM Samsung battery that came with the phone) they can just pop in the new one by anker etc. And keep on chugging without charging. Hope that helps. Also, after so many charges the OEM battery loses some of its MaH amps so people will purchase a cheaper(anker tends to be about 10-20 bucks less) to replace it. Price is always a deciding factor to most consumers, especially phone owners.

I get extras because I hate charging my phone. When one dies I pop in a fresh one and go. I am getting two ankers Monday so ill have three batteries.

From Note 2 experience, Anker OEM replacement battery performed and lasted longer than Samsung battery. Period! Plus, as some others pointed out, you can use external charger to juice it up, and just swap batteries on the go.
For external battery banks, Anker is also the way to go. Go to my Review Link in the signature where I have reviewed and posted detailed write up for close to a dozen of power banks. 6000 mAh is a thing from the past. Right now new power banks have 10,000 to 15,000 mAh of capacity in the same footprint as old one. Plus keep in mind, the actual capacity of external charger will be 30% due to usb port conversion (going from internal cell of power bank 3.8V to 5V usb port, and back to 3.8V on your phone through usb port - close to 30% loss due to efficiency).
Yes that 6000 mah power bank will give you only 1 full charge, and the charging speed is equivalent to USB. If you are doing NAV or some other heavy power draw, the external battery may not keep up.
And if I have to carry a spare, the internal battery is smaller and I know exactly what I am going to get in terms of performance
im finding that the anker 2600 batteries i bought are better than my two samsung batteries. i have two samsung batteries because 1 came with my phone and 1 came with the brand new insurance replacement after i smashed that phone. pretty happy with anker. no need to add bulk to the phone with an extended. just keep a spare battery when needed. i have 1 in my camera bag, 1 in my backpack i take to work, and 1 i can slide into my wallet if it's just me and the phone.
I bought Anker 2600 dual battery and external charger pack. Love it. Been using it and swapping batteries out every morning instead of being tied to a charger. Good for trips where I make heavy use of Cell phone to watch videos and such.
Had one issue. the internal connector that the pins that connect to the battery kinda broke on mine. The piece the pins are attached to fell inside the charger case. No problem though just opened it up and hot glued it back in place. All that keeps it there from the factory is glue and mine just came undone. Happened while traveling with charger in a bag with a battery in it, possible something pushed it hard.
Good to know that 2600 anker is better than actual battery... I was planning to get the 3k zero lemon but every one suggests is not doing much difference

I have been using Zerolemon's 3000 mah batteries for more than a month and they are great! They last longer that your stock 2600 mah battery, well constructed, and are reliable. The other bonus is that they fit in your Galaxy S4 with your regular back cover! With 2x 3000 mah batteries you also get "the world's fastest wall charger for the Galaxy S4" from what they say, but that is wrong. The wall charger takes 11 hours to just charge one 3000 mah battery.
Conclusion: The 3000 mah batteries are excellent, but the wall charger will take quite some time to charge the batteries.
What's Included:
2x 3000 mah Zerolemon batteries
1x Wall charger (Works on both my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 battery)

After reading their description:
Wall charger is .6 amp stock is 2 amp. So it will definitely be slower to charge.
No nfc.
What is it, 3000mAh or 200mAh more than stock? They need to do their math. It's one or the other.
I'd like to see a side by side comparison by the numbers, I have been burned by aftermarket batteries before. May consider it but the fact there is no nfc may be a deal breaker.

Where is the comparision between stock samsung 2600 and the zero lemon 3000 as far as how long it lasts???
Thanks
Honestly, this is more of an overview than a review. I'd expect some actual statistics in the video such as overall battery time with stock vs zerolemon batteries (maybe running constant video or something), but all you say is whether or not it's a good battery. Sorry to be so negative, but this is really lacking actual "review" content.
I also purchased these batteries. NFC not being included didnt matter to me whatsoever. Anywho I would say im a heavy user: twitter, facebook, youtube, fun run etc.. and i easily get 16 hours out of one charge. Make sure you do the cycle for these batteries when you get them. The best cycle i had with the 3000 mah was 1 day and 8 hrs i believe.
Here is my proof since I foresee someone asking.
I bought these, good batteries, wasnt expecting alot longer battery life just wanted some extra batteries, if you are a power user dont expect to see a whole lot longer battery life. But they do give a little extra run.
As far as the actual company goes, Yes mine are genuine batteries, they should really make it so the instructions on the batteries them selves match the instructions that are on the card. Dont know if anyone else saw that.
Example, Batteries say charge for 8 hours prior to use. Card says 12. Card says kill to 1% before charging, the batteries dont.
Also the wallcharger....definitely isnt the worlds fastest. I can actually charge my phone while playing on it continuously while charging and it charges faster then the wall charger.
But hey, 2 extra quality batteries for 20 bucks. Still worth the 20
I see all these people bought these 3000mah battery packages...
Where are the side by side comparisons to a stock samsung 2600mah battery???
thats what I want to see...
Is it worth the 20 bucks? or just keep the phone plugged into your computer or car?
I bought the two 3000mAh batteries + wall charger as well. I have to say i'm disappointed with the charging speed of the wall charger. It kind of breaks the deal for me. I wanted the spare batteries with an external charger that would allow me to keep the batteries charged without having them on my phone itself. I guess i'm going to send my feedback to ZeroLemon, and see what they will do about it.
The batteries are good compared to the original Samsung 2600mAh one. Right off the bat when i used the ZeroLemon battery, with the same phone settings (brightness, mobile networks, etc), i could notice the battery draining a little slower.
I've read many online reviews on these 3000mAh batteries, and they were right about the battery being a bit bigger than the stock battery, although i couldn't really notice the size difference when i compared them side by side. The back cover will shut properly after some pressing on the sides. Nothing to be concerned about.
All in all, i love the batteries a lot, but it's just too bad the wall charger is practically useless as i'm going to be using the Samsung charger which is way faster.

Thats sick! my stock battery lasts about 9 hours (i use it quite a bit)
Definately going to have to purchase one of these
I just ordered one from amazon for like 8 bucks! I hope it improves the already stellar battery life I get running CM 11 4.4.2
Can anyone comment on this battery?

I live in India and I am getting a better deal on this one.
Just got the Zerolemon 3000 mah batteries and wall charger off of Amazon. They are great. I also have a Hyperion 7500mah extended battery. I can get 2.5 days easily or of the extended battery, but due daily use i wanted something closer to stick size. The ZL 3000 batteries are perfect. I get about 5 hours more out of the Zerolemon over stock. 15 hours vs 21 hours. Enough juice you get me though the day. Will save the Hyperion for times when I may tether or be away from a charger for long periods of time.
Really good deal for $20!!

Same question here!
Hey,
I bought these batteries for my Galaxy S3:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221508526410?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I charged one of the two batteries with the provided wall charger. The first battery is bulging and displayed only 90% charge.
I charged the second one with a wall charge I bought from ebay that I used to charge random ebay 10$ batteries (they served me well). The second battery is performing very well, 2h of use with only 10% discharge and didn't bulge.
I filled a paypal claim but I wonder if I should keep using the battery. I suspect the provided charger is not good but I wonder if it could cause the issue. I am really tempted to try with another battery but I will first wait to see what happen with my claim. I thought Anker would be more reliable than those chinese batteries (that are certainly not 2100mah like claimed).
Anyway, have you experienced some thing similar? I am planning to keep my S3 for a good year before I grab the S6 so I was looking to get extra battery life-time. At the moment I had to change a battery every day and it is getting annoying.
Batteries/Chargers that are non-OEM
Hey Buddy,
I had the same issue with my Nokia N series phone battery a long time ago. I had bought a non-OEM battery from ebay compatible with the phone handset and landed in trouble after using a third-party charger. I had to finally search online for a OEM (Nokia branded) battery and used to charge it only when inside my phone using the phone OEM (Nokia branded) charger. I used that without any issues for quite some time (around 6 months).
I'm no expert but I figure the mAh rating is very important while choosing the battery, we know the higher is better in terms of holding charge but it is not in case of an internal battery because the OEM batteries are made to charge using the phone's internal circuits (that explains why some batteries bulge and even explode when using a non-OEM battery/charger combination).
To cut the long story short I suggest you to look for a refund from your seller, the next step would be to search for a battery which is OEM (which is what I did) see the pic that's an OEM battery i presume.
There are various issues with third-party batteries all over the internet (google it) but the important one is that they tend to get heated up while charging and when used inside the phone. As a fellow Androider I would suggest you to stick onto OEM batteries and chargers (best you buy one in ebay which has a SAMSUNG OEM logo with a S/N)
Hope this helps you out bro, as I said I'm no expert but just sharing my own experience and information I gathered.
Peace,
Syed
