I am at my wits end here... I ordered 2 Infuse Battery Chargers (on eBay)... from 2 different sellers in Hong Kong. Clearly they haven't gotten the memo about the battery that fits the Infuse 4G, because BOTH sellers advertised the product as able to charge a Samsung Infuse 4G, yet both of the sellers sent a battery charger for the I9000.
Has anyone actually found one that is for the right battery? LOL. I know it's only cost me $4 each, but the wait only to be disappointed when the wrong product arrives drives me insane.
Thanks!
Someone mentioned here on the forums, you can use a samsung captivate battery. Same width, smaller height. So the user stuffed some paper bits in the remaining area so that the battery holds in place. Not a long-term solution, but if you need to do something about it, that's an option. I haven't tried it myself.

From my understanding you CAN... but the issue is if you stuff paper in there and your phone gets jostled, it may cause the power contacts to lose and re-connect, causing random reboots.
There are non-OEM Infuse batteries on eBay for $8 for 3... or $24 for one original.. is it really that big of deal to spend a couple bucks? It's like buying a Porsche and then cramming an after market air filter in that's half the size and surrounding it in tissue, hehe
I have 2 captivate batterys laying around and yes they are compatible. Just.wedge something in there to make.up for the room. Comes in handy for emergencys. They dont last as.long but o well right. Also i used the captivate battery charger to charge my infuse battery lol i know it dont fit right so i used a rubber band to hold it into place and yes it worked.

Well I got the "Samsung Infuse 4G 1800mAh 2 Battery+Dock USB CHGR Anker" on ebay from laptopmate_usa.
Includes 2 batteries plus a flimsy charger (still works fine however) and they work great in my experience.
I think it's ridiculous to pay full price for replacement batteries.

I have 2 ebay batteries and an extra OEM battery. The ebay batteries most certainly are NOT 1800 mAh. But they make good spares for traveling or extended movie watching.
When it comes to batteries, you definitely get what you pay for.

It's also insanely expensive.

Same one I have.
I am confused with your question. If you are looking for a charger for the spare battery, Samsung sells it. If you are looking for a spare battery, samsung also sells it but is only 1300 mAh
Title says it all. Excellent deal. The dock is designed for the Infuse but it is reported on Amazon that the dock works for the Skyrocket and other S2 phones. Not positive about the S3 but the Infuse and S3 are similar size so... Regular $40, on for $5 + tax with FS.
https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku5190306.html
Amazon reviews (3rd review confirms dock works with Skyrocket, the SR is slightly narrower than the Infuse 4G) so the SR should easily fit no problem:

FYI for those of you just shopping around for something to buy for your new GS4. I registered my GS4 on Samsung's website ( http://www.samsung.com/us/support/register/product ) and by doing so, you get a coupon for 50% off any accessory under $50. To my knowledge, there's no mention of it anywhere on the registration page, but I just got an email.
Of all the things under $50, the one that caught my eye was another 2600mAH battery (listed at $39.99). While steep and you can get 3rd party batteries for cheaper, the 50% brings it to $20. Not too shabby. Other stuff under $50 are bluetooth earpieces, flip covers (not S-version), and a couple chargers and even the Galaxy Multimedia Dock.
Fine print shows that shipping is $3.95 unless your order is over $49.99, which then it's free.
EDIT: Oh, the so called "Galaxy S 4 Spare Battery Charging System" for $49.99 includes a 2600mAH battery, so that might be a better buy than the battery itself because the case acts as a holder/case you can charge at the same time. 50% off means you'd get the case for a $5 difference than the regular battery after discount.

I'm actually not sure since the link I posted was for the Samsung.com/US registration. I'm wondering if you might have to go to the Samsung website for your country.
Never hurts to register though "just in case".
Its too bad none of these accesories are ever in stock anyway. Same thing with the S3 as well. Everything was always on backorder
thk , just got my coupon. will it work on multi item under 50 or just one

I just noticed that. I think though, you have to move your cart to backorder. What this does is reserve one for you (and they email you) when they actually do get them in stock. I just reserved that extra charger/battery and supposedly they'll email me when they have it in stock.

Yes your correct. I'm curious if they'll charge you immediately, or give you the option to checkout when it comes available. I've been ding for the light blue protective case, but I believe BB will have it in stock within the next few days. Amazing already is out of stock. But I'm sure within time, things will be ready to go. Hopefully lol! I miss my spare battery. I love that on the S3

They don't charge you. There's no way for you to put your payment info. At least when I did it, it just sent me to a page saying my order was placed and when it arrives, i have an option to go to a special checkout page.
So I guess it's more of a "preorder" thing for 50% off.

Anyone willing to share the latest coupon code? Thanks in advance

I'm in Canada, with Rogers and have had a SR for about 18 months. Time for a new battery mid-contract.
But Rogers doesn't sell them any more. Nor does Best Buy, Future Shop, the Source etc. There are lots of phone vendors around, but I find that they sell them at $20 - $30, and they must be used, because even after a few cycles and battery calibration, they are usually worse than my old battery. I've bought two from Pacific Mall, they were awful.
I've been told that unless Samsung sells it to you, it's a refurbished battery. Don't even know what that might be.
So with the retailers no longer stocking batteries for non-current phones, where does one get a NEW Skyrocket battery in Canada?
Also looking for a Verizon Samsung Nexus Extended Battery (2200) as per another thread here. They are gone! Nobody has them. I'd love to try one on my Skyrocket, as it's a higher capacity and most say the fit is not an issue, but nobody seems to sell those either. Ebay sellers are out of stock with no idea if they are coming back in.
Is this what it's come to? Do you throw your phone away after 18 months???

I'm in the states but it looks like amazon.co has a bunch of market sellers who have EBL1D7IBA the main worry would be if it's really used.
I have a Nexus extended that i'd part with. Used it in my SR till it broke. Now i'm using my girls until I upgrade.. just hit me up in PM with an offer..
Have the oem battery from my SR too.. obviously used, but figured i'd throw that out there too.
Its here if you want it. Its $50 though..

If you can have someone in the US order it for you Sprint is offering the OEM Galaxy Nexus battery (2100 mAh) with battery door for free with US $6.50 for shipping you would have a steal at your hand.
I ordered one for my SR last time they had the same offer and though the extended battery is a snug fir under the regular SR back cover it does last about 2-3 hours longer with moderate to heavy use as compared to the original.
Here is the quote;
"Sprint offers the Samsung Extended Battery Bundle for Galaxy Nexus for $49.99. Coupon code "BATTERY1" makes it free. With $6.50 for shipping, that's the lowest total price we could find by $28. It includes a 2,100mAh lithium ion extended battery and battery door."

Was just looking up batteries for the my skyrocket when I stumbled into this thread. That's an AMAZING deal. Ordered one and repped you.
Thanks!
I just ordered this online too. Does this ship to your house or do you have to pick it up at a sprint store? mine says pick up in store? I guess it doesn't really matter.
Also, Does this battery really last longer than the OEM one? i've had mine for about 18 months now and its time for a new one. Can't beat $6.50 though. Awesome find!

Well if you are willing to wait, i bought a couple of batteries from AliExpress.com and they have been working preetty well, both of them (i ordered different to test them out) last longer than the original...
I still use from time to time the original batt, but the honest truth is that the 2 chinese are my main batteries.
I ordered a 2500 mla(?) battery from amazon.ca for mine. Works awesome. Fits in without any mods.

That's a damn good deal for a factory battery and the box that will charge it! Don't know if this is just a glitch on their part having it $10 cheaper than the Note 3.

The note 3 battery kit was $39 when it was first released also. They raised the price to $49 after a few weeks. I was one of the lucky ones that got in on that order. I think the price will go up to $49 like all the other battery kits on there.
