It will probably fit, I don't doubt it but there seem to be a battery door as well and by the looks of it. Although it seems its for the fasinate only.

the fascinates battery fits but when ever I charge the phone, it says battery not detected, and the phone does not charge. more than likely you'd get the same error with the extended one.

all the galaxy s phones use the same 1500 mh battery i have the epic but i bought the battery sold for the vibrant and the have the same exact serial numbers on them.

says it needs a xl door

I just did a search for Samsung 2200mah and came up with a 3 page list of batteries and phones. I'd be completely fine with a thicker phone to get longer battery lfe.

I bet the batteries are fine, it's getting the door to fit back on being the next issue.

i ordered me one
now waiting for epic battery cover

Since the battery is thicker, you could halfass the cover by simply cutting an opening in it just enough that the battery could protrude from it and still allow the stock cover to snap on. Other than it being pretty, the battery hump would stick out less than the cover that is included on that eBay Fascinate link. Or maybe you could get really fancy by cutting off the bump from the Fascinate cover and epoxy it or something to your existing Epic cover.
As I'm sitting here writing this, I'm thinking about just doing it myself...dremel out the hump and epoxy it to the Epic cover, using enough epoxy to create a smooth transition lip instead of an actual bump, light sanding to clean up the epoxy work and then wrap it in some 3M Di-NOC carbon fiber graphics while I'm at it.
The ONLY problems I've ever heard with some of the aftermarket batteries (while I was on the Samsung Moment forums) was that occasionally people would get an incompatible battery warning on their phone, but could easily be resolved with a reset. Once you get yours, keep us posted how it works out. When I first got my phone, the battery was completely dead, but I was thankful. I read random stories (which are debatable) as to if battery conditioning is even necessary or if it even matters. Either way, I put my phone on the wall charger (faster than USB via a computer) and let it charge completely. I then ran about 4 streaming music apps at once to completely kill the battery, then did a nice slow charge on the PC. While I can't say if my battery life is good or bad compared to anyone else since everyones usage is different, at least I can say I tried to condition it. My point is that I've tested the life of batteries this way when swapping between older and newer batteries on my Treo as well. Charge them till their full, run a battery intensive app (streaming for example) and timed how long it took to die. I have Treo batteries that lasted as little as 1.75hrs and as much as 3.5hrs, so naturally I keep the 3.5 in there as much as possible. You could test your current battery vs the extended battery the same way. I chose streaming as my testing of choice since I stream music while working anyways, so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary...I'd just let it go until the music stopped, noted the time and swapped to the next battery. Maybe you could do the same to confirm the difference in life between the 1500 and 2200 battery, otherwise we'll never know.
On a side note, I like this cover http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extende...788955?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5adbfc1b1b since it thickens the whole phone vs just adding a hump. That hump would just be constanly snagging the edge of my pocket everytime, hence why I wanted to make it a smooth transitional edge like I mentioned above. Also, this battery is 3000mah, 2x the stock Epic battery. Is the i9000 the same height and width as our batteries? It'd be an even larger hump, but twice the battery...hmmmm.

One thing to keep in mind about battery ratings is that it is dependent on discharge rate. A battery discharged at 1 c will have a different and lower apparent capacity than the same battery discharged at 0.1 c. Thus a larger battery benefits in two ways. Physical size and lowering of the c rate based on the same amp draw. This is where less reputable battery makers cheat. They will put an incredibly small load on a battery to achieve a higher rating.

So, what's your point? How does one distinguish a good battery vs a bad battery then if we're going to try and test these?

I'm waiting for Seidio to release this battery. They have an extended battery for the Evo and it gets good reviews overall, as seen here. Super expensive and makes the phone super bulky though

Why wait for Seidio and their overpriced batteries? People have been buying the extended batteries for the Moment for years via eBay, so why would any of the Galaxy S line batteries be any different for the sub $20 range?

The point is that unless they are giving you a physically larger battery, not to put too much faith in the MaH ratings of batteries. Especially ones out of china with no brand to speak of. The difference between a 1500mah and a 1700mah is likely in how they discharged to to rate it.
If you can find it, the C rate on discharge is a good indicator of quality in lithium batteries. Higher C rate discharge have lower internal resistance and are made with better materials. I'm not sure how likely you are to find the full specs on a phone battery.
In a test environment its not too difficult to figure out which is which. Put a temperature probe on it, and then put a high load on it. The one with the lowest temp is probably your best battery. (same size anyways)

Assuming the 2200mAH batteries are genuine Samsung OEM, I'd love to see one get tested by the guy at batteryboss.org to see how they rate under the same test conditions as the other batteries he's tested. If they end up being real, honest-to-god 2200mAH @ 250mA discharge, that would put them right on par capacity-wise with the average, much thicker no-name nominally-3500mAH Evo/Desire/Hero batteries from eBay. 1500 definitely isn't big enough, but a real 2200mAH battery with back that's large enough to accommodate it (preferably with a sculpted, rounded profile instead of a boxy pregnant lump) might be a nice alternative to a full-blown ~2800mAH-nominally-3200/3500mAH extended battery from Seidio.
In any case, I think it's been well established by now that the "extended" batteries that are the same size, but ~100mAH larger than stock, are almost a complete waste of money. Even when they DO last 30-60 minutes longer, you seriously have to question the sanity of spending so much for so little.
That said, I suspect that most of the cheap 2200mAH batteries that will eventually end up on eBay will end up testing out at around 1500mAH.

I think I got what you mean. Either way, both the 2200mah and 3000mah battery are incrementally large than the next vs the stock 1500mah battery, so I would assume that each battery will in fact store more of a charge.

has anyone tested whether these batteries work and charge normally? If they do work, you can grab a cheap hard case on ebay for 3 dollars and cut a hole through it for the battery. It will be ugly though, unless you figure out how to make it look nice

Why don't you go on Ebay and buy yourself a good extended battery 2800 mah and use your phone for 2 full days without charging? http://cgi.ebay.com/Sprint-Epic-4G-...450945198?pt=US_Batteries&hash=item1e5f7b74ae USA supplier, great guy and has excellent customer service.

I have confidence in Japan made - will buy it now and see how it goes. Thanks for the link.
Anyone else tried this brand before?

Well I just bought one of the first one's. Kind of skeptical that it is rate almost 50% higher and looks to be the same size as stock. Also hope this fits... oh well. Says 5 - 10 business days so I will report back later.

Ask the seller if he could weigh it for you

Seller said 29g, while chichitec and anker is 34, stock battery is 29 aswell heavier means better batterytime

I thought someone bought these gold ones and said they were crap.

BUt this isn't the gold one although i bet it's made at the same factory, oh the gold battery weigh in at 27 Lol i had a gold battery but got a full refund, so i opened it up, and there was a small battery inside, with a spacer built around it!

Really?! Oh lame...it's shipped.
I guess the only way to find out is to test it and form my own verdict.

can someone explain me technically how the weight of the battery relates to the performance.
apart from getting a case with a smaller battery inside.

generally speaking the weight of the battery relates to the amount of li-ion in the battery (this can only be a generalization due to the casing of the battery and the like) but simply put the higher the weight the larger amount of li-ion in the battery which increases the Amp Hours; Ah
edit: so continuing on a 2300mAh battery should be heavier than a 1500mAh battery as it would have more li-ion in it

so anyone got one this already and tested it out

I have BXT'S extended model BP6X and am using it with my Motorola XT720. The BXT battery weighs in at 24g (it is rated at 2200 mAh) and the OEM BP6X weighs in at 28.7g (which is rated at 1390 mAh) I have used the battery for about a day (with the charge that it had shipped with) and it didn't last very long. I was also running a 1.2ghz overclock at the time so that could have contributed to it too. I believe however that I need to charge it for about 10 hours or so the first charge, just to make sure it has its full capacity. (which I have not done yet) I can give a full overview in a day or so if you guys would like.
This is the one I have:

Seeing as it weighs less and claims its 2300 mah I call this battery a load of crap like the other 2300 mah battery. It prolly has spacers around a smaller battery.

Yes, that is probably true. I have also heard reports of android's battery meter not correctly read the % of battery power on these BXT extended batteries but it may vary from phone to phone so people will have to test it out on their devices. What the report said was that the battery would quickly drop to 25% and then it would take HOURS to drop to 0% but low battery messages would pop up frequently during that time because the phone believed the battery was that low, even though the actual battery % was not that low because it was just incorrectly reading it. I could not tell yet from a few hours of use whether or not I experienced this problem with my BXT BP6X.

Don't buy bxt 2300 mah
I ordered this BXT 2300mAh battery on July 21st 2011.
1st of all it came after 15 long days of waiting.
and when it finally arrived the battery was non functional. DOA
(that might be a one time thing)
But what's really surprising is the weight. As someone mentioned before; if the battery is more powerful it should be heavier. So, a 2300mAh should have more li-ion and should be quite a bit heavier then 1520mAh Stock. right?
(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
well this battery doesn't even weigh as much as the stock.
my conclusion: FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!
I just filed a PayPal claim to get a full refund.
Don't be sucked into buying this battery!

Guys, sorry to resurrect this thread but I've just got one of these with the Sensation I've just bought.
It weighs 34g exactly the same as the Anker I've got. Bot tried the Anker yet so can't compare how they both perform.

1gram battery ≈ 47mAh
I have 5 batteries.
Motorola BK60 930mAh Weight - 20g.
Motorola BC50 750mAh Weight - 16g.
Sony Ericsson BST-33 950mAh Weight - 20g.
Samsung sgh x160 800mAh Weight - 17g.
HTC Desire HD 1230mAh Weight - 26g.
930/20=46,5
750/16=46,8
950/20=47,5
800/17=47,0
1230/26=47,3

Extra battery comparison

So I have the TMobile S4, the regular battery, Anker's 2600 mAh batteries, and unbranded 3000 mAh batteries from ebay.
What's the go-to battery tracking app? I'd love to know how these things really are, because just as I expected, the 3000 unbranded batteries don't seem to be lasting as long as either of the 2600's.

As a general rule of thumb, it won't ever last as long. You can't put more battery into the same space ( generally speaking ) or it would come that way from the factory. To get a bigger charge battery, you get a bigger ( physical ) battery along with the new phone back.

I feel the anker battery is a bit stronger than the stock, and the ebay batteries go way too quick, so I really wanted to test them. I figured the ebay battery would be a little thicker and I'd leave the back cover off, but the case on, but it still fits under the cover.

I thing, from Galaxy S3 battery are usually with NFC able, but i will ask question from that about this. Even , I need strong battery, because i make couple days testing. My opinion: LTE (4G) network is worster from 3G for original 2600 mAh battery life, and for my way using, on 4G my original battery about hallf of thay live. Not enought for me, because i order this 5200 mAh (2 pieces, because i have speciall universal Sohsine charger for all handys). Wenn coming after test will request opinion about.

S4 Extended Battery?

Hi all,
I'm looking into getting an extended battery for my S4 so it actually last a day without needing to charge. All the ones i've have looked at so far make your phone more bulky and need to replace the back doing so.
Is there a battery out there around 3000-4000MAH that doesn't make your phone any bigger?
Thanks in advance.

There's only ZeroLemon 3000mah battery without NFC. Rest is probably fake capacity.
I have HSA 3950mah battery, it last a little longer than my old original battery (and is colder...), but still it's probably around 2600mah.
(original sometimes gets to 40*C, and biggest temperature, which i've seen, of HSA was 34*C)

That zero lemon battery is (from my own experience) a piece of crap. It's without a doubt the reason I am now talking to you from a note 4. I was forced to buy due to my s4 being fried by that substandard battery.
I know zero lemon has a good reputation but I can tell you this: that battery was discontinued for a reason. After my meltdown I opened my phone to find the battery puffed up and very warm. I then tried to put the factory battery back in. No dice. My phone would power on, then immediately power off. Not even getting past the bootloader. I could not keep it on to get into download mode or recovery. It was dead Jim
If you do manage to locate the 3000 mah zero lemon battery DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR PHONE. I went out to zero lemon to complain only to find the battery had been discontinued. I'm betting I wasn't the only one to have this experience.
I'm just trying to save your phone man. Don't do it!! Just say no!! Or
..? I'll see you in the note 4 forums when you have to buy a new phone.

I do not know where from, but I received a 4800mAh battery as a gift a year ago. The battery isn't labeled, it is just blank and gray with hard black plastic on the top and bottom.

I say the same as some on before, they're probably fake ones. Currently battery technology cannot go smaller, so if you want more mAh, then physical size grows.

Nowadays I avoid these no-name batteries. I had one no-name extended battery on my SGS2, which suddenly got heated up and bulged out... luckily it did not explode in my pocket :S Also, when I measured capacity of that battery it labels as 3500 mAh, I measured around 2600 mAh...

Highest capacity standard sized battery for the V10

The battery in my V10 is 3000 mAh. I saw one on Ebay that claimed 3800 mAh. Is that possible in a battery this size? I know a lot of off brand name batteries inflate the numbers to sell them. I wonder if this is the same. Do any of you have a standard slim battery that is over 3000 mAh?

There is batterys for the LG V10 that can go up to 9000 mAh and higher. They are NOT inflated numbers. The only thing about these batterys is that you will have to have a thicker case.

I am sorry to say, but until the technology progresses, the battery will only increase in size as the mAh increases. IF the 3800 battery you speak of is the same size as the stock battery, it is bull**** and will not be 3800 mAh. If its a shady seller, it could be a even less than stock. Please be wary of these people in the future.

I agree with you 100%! I am still willing to bet that a battery can be made with a higher capacity than the stock one, and have the battery size stay the same. There is a limit to how much capacity can be squeezed into a battery this size, and as you say, when that is exceeded, the battery size has to increase. I just have not owned a mobile phone in a few years that had a removable battery. I was able to find higher capacity, standard sized ones in my other phones, just hoping I will find one for the V10 that is actually the rating on the battery. Amazon has several that are rated as 3300 mAh, but I am not sure if the performance difference on those would be noticeable, even assuming that the specs are legit. If somebody comes out with a super high capacity larger battery with a good case, I may try that.

Well 3300mAh is maybe real. I noticed that the stock battery continues to charge for around 1 to 1.5 hours after you see the "battery charge complete" message. Looking at the charge current with abttery monitor widget it looks like the stock battery when charged fully till charge current becomes zero has in fact 3200 to 3300 mAh capacity. When i do this i also see that my battery sits at 100% for several hours before starting to drop which confirms that. So maybe these 3300mAh batteries are really with such capacity but nevertheless they will not give you better battery life than the stock battery.
