So I think its about time to accept that I'm going to need to buy a high capacity battery to be fully satisfied with my cappy's battery life. But I don't know what to buy, all the ones on eBay seem to be from Hong Kong, which I'm a little warry about since I don't want to put a sub par battery in my phone and have it fry it or anything like that. Has anyone bought one of these batteries and had an excellent experience with it? Is there any store in the US that might carry them?
--Thanks.
Try this battery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1303883. It doubled my battery life and it fits under my back plate. I ordered mine from www.cellguru.com. It is the battery for the Epic 4g touch but fits in the captivate fine

As the title states, does the SGSII for T-Mobile fit the Skyrocket? The reason why I ask is since the batteries are the same, I was planning on purchasing the extended battery for that phone to use on my SR but obviously would need a battery cover.
Thanks,
EDIT: Specifically using the Galaxy S II T989 Hercules
No it won't. my wife has the one and i have the Sr
Thanks, too bad. I guess I'll have to wait until someone develops one for it. I returned the Power-Skin case for the SR as it didn't work out with what I need.
any good extended batteries for this phone?

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

I'm considering buying an extended battery. What's the best place to get one from (based off personal experiences)?
Search in the accessories section, there's a thread for the nexus extended battery from sprint. I did what it said and got mine for $7.22.
If you look towards the end of the thread I posted some pics on how to modify it so it'll fit inside the stock skyrocket battery cover.

was checking amazon for extended batts for my new relay and noticed that most/all said they fit both the relay and the i415 stratosphere 2/ii. so i searched for i415 batteries and found an actual samsung 3000mah unit - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C2ZEU4S/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1402385505&sr=8-4&pi=SL75
you can see that it's both 3.8v and 3000mah. the watt-hours listed on the flip side are almost double the stock one in my relay. there's another listing that also comes w/ the door for just a few bucks more, or some listings w/ just the door. the door has a verizon logo on it, but i bet a little thinner or nail polish remover would fix that.
for as cheap as it is, i'm willing to try it out. i will get the one w/ the stratosphere door. i'll also be buying one of the generic ones that actually says relay and comes w/ a door, since it looks like the camera opening might be slightly different. will compare fitment and battery life and of course post back here.
unless of course this has already been tried and failed...

thanks. i didn't think to check ebay. i guess i was just thinking i'd have better luck with an actual samsung piece, but if this is really 5000 mah i'll be set for days (or at least an entire day!). wish i'd have done my homework before buying my droid4 with its non-removable 1750mah battery that doesn't even last me to lunchtime some days...
guess i'll just get that one battery/cover and skip the stratosphere one. if this one doesn't last i'll consider the sammy batt next time around.

sounds like the one i just ordered. it's currently on the slow boat from china so i'll see it end of month if i'm lucky. now that my contract at vzw is officially up, i'll be going to tmo on friday to pick up some sim cards. yes, tmo is offering to pay your ETF, but the catch is you have to buy a phone from them AND trade in your old one. well they wouldn't sell me a relay as part of the deal and my droid4 supposedly has zero tradein value, so i had to wait out my contract. also sucks that i had to buy another sgs3 for my wife - her verizon one would technically work for voice/text with a tmo sim (in theory) but data would be like 2g speeds. no thanks. hopefully i can sell the vzw s3 (and some redundant accessories like otterbox/etc) to make up the difference.
meanwhile i've already rooted the relay and am about to try out liquidsmooth.
well the mpj 5000mah batt died and now i'm not having any luck getting warranty service. earlier this month it got very hot and swelled up to the point that the back cover no longer closes. bought in june, arrived in august (slow bot indeed) and died in early march. just over 7 months.
might try the strat2 batt this time since i dont want to wait another month for one to be shipped from china again.

I just put a Statosphere II battery (the Polar one linked above) in my wife's Relay. Zero issues, and WAY easier than fitting the bigger battery that required shaving down the back (from Nardholio's thread). That battery died after just a few months, so fingers crossed this Stratosphere II battery last longer (or my wife decides she can give up her physical keyboard!).

Polar one? Is it an extended stratosphere battery fitting in the stock relay case? (I cant see the link)

It's a 2100mAh battery w/NFC that fits in the stock relay back (there's actually some extra room in there).
Ooh that does sound nice. Im beginning to regret ordering another standard OEM one from china. All the good batteries are understandably in America and have ridiculous postage costs to Australia. I hope the polar works out. It might be the next one I get.
