Do you think there will ever be an extended battery made that will allow the use of the stock back? I only ask becuase I use the media stand to charge my phone and want an extended battery, but want it to fit with no issues.
Hopefully someone can make one.
Define extended battery??
They have a 1600mah battery that fits in the stock back made by Seidio. It costs like $60 dollars. Seidio batteries are never the mah that they advertise.
http://batteryboss.org/
The N1 1600mah Seidio tested at 1305mah real world.
So to be honest, the best "extended" battery you can get is to buy a new OEM Samsung battery which will actually truly be 1500mah.
There's this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933184
I will be back to read this one too....
I haven't seen any. Best bet for now may be to just get a second battery and charger

Yea, I have to say your pro9bably better off just using multiple oem batteries. You can actually find some pretty good deals online on both ebay and amazon.

Anybody have any luck with extended batteries? If so what is a good brand to get and where from?
I bought a generic 1800mAh battery on the cheap through eBay. It has worked fine for me.

Yes, but is it better than stock? I highly doubt it's actually 1800mAh. If it is, then the Chinese have turned into wizards.
I am currently using these. I just started using it, so not sure how different it will be. I will let you know.
The reviews are kind of hit and miss
I seen one on ebay where you remove the battery cover, and it was a case too. with like a 3500ma or so.
But I like my Otterbox to much.
I'm using an Anker 1600mAh from Amazon. It's noticibly better than the stock battery, but it takes a week of overnight charging to get the most out of it.

I bought an Anker Slimtalk external battery for mine. Going pretty good so far. I can top up my battery when it goes too low in the evening.
I bought an Anker 1600 mAh and actually performs slightly better than stock battery.. maybe It's the Rom maybe not... Because with ICS I got 23 hours with stock and 18 with Anker..

are the really cheap batteries on ebay any good? How do they compare to the original?
I have a Dynapak(I think that's the name) from Amazon and I notice a difference compared to stock. I think I paid $16 when I bought it for two. I believe it says they're 1600 mAh or 1650. I'm happy with it.

If it fits inside the stock battery compartment then it will never be more than 1230 mah.

While there's no way to prove or disprove your statement without bench tests, many people have confirmed that the Anker batteries last longer in an apples to apples test.

Might just be temporary. Even on ebay the seller laptopmate USA (same authorized seller from amazon) raised the price to $67 to keep people from bidding. But they did not remove the auctions. So they will be back.
Hey goat, still got your Eternity? I use mine as an MP3 player now. Just put a new digitizer on it and its like new.
Never actually had the eternity. I had the impression. And yeah I still got it. I had to replace mine also.
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'.

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.

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*

Slim extended battery don't work well. Usually falsely advertised for their capacity. Can't get more capacity into a battery if you don't increase the real estate of the battery
IMO Anker are a great battery. And their CS is second to none :good:

From the past, NFC and kickstand has been done with other phone models, wireless charging might not be possible.
There might be a stand along wirless charging battery by anymode (samsung sister/partner company or a third party one), but this one has not been confirmed.
I never needed one for my S4, so I am guessing I will get by without a second on the S5. I do have a 7800 mah portable charger that we bring along on trips and events should anyone need to power up. Battery life has definitely improved since my Thunderbolt/ Galaxy Nexus days.

Not sure about Anker and other 3rd party batteries. Steve Litchfield did a test on several 3rd party batteries (inc. Anker) and they all don't hold as much charge as the original. You can get physically bigger ones but they don't appear to be as energy dense as the originals. Still for the price, they made sense as spare/back up batteries compared to originals.

That is what i meant. The Anker i had with my S4 wasn't as good as the original but not far off. So comparing Anker vs original it was probably better value pound for pound. You could probably get 2 Anker ones for the price of a Samsung.
I go with Seideo myself. They are quite expensive but the extended battery + Case/Clip combo works well. I started with them on my Palm Pre and have bought their stuff for every phone after that. Generally their cases and clips hold up well and the batter adds a few days worth of life. Your mileage may vary though.
I found this 5600mA extended battery here:
http://www.batterybay.net/Extended-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-p/samsung-cs-smi960hl.htm
I previously used Batterybay battery. Fair performance but cheap price (relatively to Mugen)
I think I will give it a vote this time. Anyone here tried that before???

OR, just buy the stock battery that comes with the S5 or the battery/charger combo if you wanna keep it slim as stock. That's what I would do. The KINPS 4000mah battery for my Note 2 that I bought from Ebay was not any better than the stock 3100mah that came with it.
