Best battery?

Pretty much which is the best battery without having to change the back cover, and nfc or not.

Battery Q
Hyperion AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket 4G 2 x Battery + Charger
That's the title on Amazon it's like $30 off right now, I was wondering if anyone had any experience using this battery set. Does it work just as well? I'm thinking about getting it.

I've got one of the Hyperion batteries. They sell them as a standalone product without the charger. The battery is about what you would expect for the $10 cost. As I expected, it doesn't last quite as long as the included battery, but it makes a good backup battery for when you need a little extra juice. The amazon reviews say that the charger is low quality, so i bought the RND dock off amazon to go with it. I'm new here so I can't post the link yet, sorry.

Thanks that's really helpful. If I may ask what kind of case or screen protector do you like?

I just ordered a set of these on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Extended-Battery-Samsung-Galaxy-Skyrocket/dp/B006WO0YMM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1333114979&sr=8-5
According to reviews they get about 3 hours more...they're rated at 2250 mAh. Should be getting them Wednesday so I'll update when they arrive.

I always recommend getting 2 batteries and an external battery charger. I am never without a battery and just have to remember to pop a dead battery in the charger when I get home from work.

Honestly... The best battery for the skyrocket are the factory ones. Not bulging back and the mah is accurate. They are pricey @$35 a pop, but they are the best we can get.

I've got the otterbox commuter series. It's a nice case for what I need it for. Only thing is I have to take it off to use the dock or change batteries. Also best buy included an invisible shield protector on my phone (some BS policy they have). I never would have bought it on my own but it's a decent screen protector if you can get it installed right.

I was looking at either the commuter or, there is a seido active armor case. I got a decent .20 cent case to hold me over till I buy a pricey one.
I've heard problems regarding otterbox cases and the screen protector regarding dirt to be able to get under the protector. And the screen being scuffed if you ever cleaned it. Have you noticed anything like that?

Two batteries from Samsung? Do they sell a two pack with a charger? The reason l looked at the Hyperion was because of its charger. (Digging through the reveiws about charger problems people appear to be breaking off pins)
I like the idea of Samsung batteries since they would have nfc.

I have the commuter series case. It doesn't include a screen protector. But from the reviews I've seen of the defender, the speaker and camera holes are unprotected which allows dirt to get under it.

Please let us know how these are! I've been hesitating to buy them because they had no reviews at all for a while. (I see that there are two right now)

Well, I received these batteries several days early...was scheduled for this coming Wednesday and instead they arrived this past Saturday. Fully charged a battery, and today is my first day using them, but I can say that the percentage is certainly not dropping as quickly as the stock battery. It's actually noticeable.
The battery fits well without a replacement cover, but of course doesn't include NFC capability...

I'm getting an extra 2-3 hours off of those batteries. Definitely worth $30 for 2 batteries and an external charger...

The Hyperions suck a$$... I like many others on amazon have been left with chargers that do not work out of the box, not to mention the batteries themselves, from personal experience don't last nearly as long as the OEMs.

Battery help...fit with Otterbox Defender case

ok so i've had my phone for over a year, love it. not need to change phone at this time but the battery is in need of replacement. Thing is i have an otterbox defender case. i need the case and am not willing to give it up. i need some help with the biggest capacity battery that will fit under the stock case or replacement cover that will fit in the otterbox case? i have seen the nexus 2100mah batt getting some props, is that the biggest, best under stock cover at this time?

Slightly cheaper than the seidio solution.
4500 mah battery 70 + extended case 35 = 105
Albeit I think the seidio version probably has a more rugged and safe case than the morphie.
Morphie does seem smaller possibly and more stream line looking.

That is so stupid. Paying 100$ for something to .ale your phone last a bit longer? Get extra batteries. Way cheaper and way easier. Hell you still get to use your favorite case.

Exactly. Something like the Mophie is only useful for devices without a removable battery.

Looks interesting. I know replacement batteries are cheaper, but I dont really want to have to take my phone apart to put a new battery in.

Youd rather pay 100$ rather then 20$ for that? Or 40 instead of 100$ for the zerolemon 7500 that youd never have to change?

I'm fairly new to the Samsung phone but I love the ability of having extra batteries at my disposal when I need it. I bought the Anker & Zerolemon to test them out & I couldn't be happier. I have 4 extra batteries on deck for less than $50.
Btw I detest plugging my phone for a charge.

It does have a very slight magnet, and at first i thought my wrist had gone numb or something. it's not strong either which i like. it's just enough to let you know where to place it to charge. I got this after another XDA user posted this incredible deal.

A Qi charger is only $15, plus Qi is the wireless charging standard for all other Android phones. If you get a PMA charger, it most likely won't work with your next phone.

The one we got is $9 and comes with a portable battery pack that can also be charged simultaneously with the S6 charging too. Also I don't care about what the standard is in 2 years because there will most likely be newer wireless charging technologies like Qi 2.0 or something and by then i'll probably get the newer technology. Also the S7 might also have a PMA/Qi combo again.

Do you know the specs on that portable battery pack? my guess is it's smaller than the battery in the S6, and charges incredibly slowly. I'm simply saying that for $5 more you can buy a wireless charger that will work with all newer wireless charging capable phones, instead of one that only works with the S6 or phones with specific cases.
I bought a Qi charger when the G2 came out, and not much has changed over the last 2 years, it still works and charges just as fast as any you can buy today. In fact, I believe they still sell that model.

try $5 LESS >> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QHRM4F4
I'll be testing them out and compare, but there's a review of Qi charging pads on the accessories forum, and this one was fairly well rated. They all charge the phone within 2-3min of each other, but when charging over night, that's largely irrelevant to me anyways.

I got two of the duracell powermats last week in black with the extra battery for the iphone 4. I pulled the circuit out of the iphone 4 case and will try to make it work with another phone

Hey so you got it to charge the S6? I ordered the same thing from Amazon but it wouldn't charge. Already sent it back. I tried different positions all over the pad. I will say that my S6 has a very thin Elago case on it, I didn't try without the case because that kind of defeats the purpose of "drop the phone on the pad and walk away".

On eBay. Just look at the first post

Not shipping to my **** country...Bosnia and Herzegovina

Try AliExpress. They ship to mostly everywhere. That battery isn't on there but there are similar ones

Don't trust that one, I'm gonna wait TOT

wish they had made it 10,000 mah instead of 9,000 mah since there is a lot of empty space inside the zerolemon case.
