Hey guys, I've had my S3 since release, and I've recently noticed my battery isn't doing as well as it used to..after about 45 minutes of screen time I'm down to 75%.
I've googled to no end, even checked eBay and can't seem to find the stock battery for this thing (outside of $50 on the Samsung website).
Does anyone have any experience with a battery replacement? I'm open to an OEM one as long as it will fit under the stock cover.

Zero lemmon makes the stock size now too. I would seriously consider the 7000 ma one though. If you want a holster, the stock one works well if you cut a little more than 1/4 off each side tab. I use this set up every day. Charge it overnight every other day or every third day. Can't beat it

Ok found this on eBay for you but I'd go with the zero leMon battery on Amazon it's way better.this item on eBay is$10
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=310549870965

This was my battery performance after a 10 hour initial charge using the external charger.
I was happy with the performace that I got a day and half that was worth the $10.00
The pictures below are from

Good start. Please update regularly for next few days. I am waiting for mine, but will keep as backup for now. Getting excellent standby time from the stock battery with Juice Defender.
BTW: How much time does it take to charge from 0 to 100%? Also are you using the stock 1 Ah charger?
I am using the external charger for now. After the 3 or 4 charges and discharges. Then I be using My battery full time and charging in the phone.
The external charger is 350MA +/- 50 MA.

We are lucky that you are not the moderator.
BTW: I am waiting for my battery from the Chicago seller. Will open a different thread once it comes.
I am posting my results for myself and the fourm.
That way it is easy to track over time. If the battery was a good deal.
You have a right to your opinions.
Thanks.
If you start your own thread that is your business.
I notice the battery lasts longer when it charging from the battery charger. It stays at 100% longer.
I also it seams that the battery lasts longer when on WI-FI. That what I have been noticing at home and work.

Hi all,
I messaged a Mugen representative via their Facebook page and was told that they'll be announcing a battery case for the Nexus4 in about two weeks time. They asked that I wait for the announcement for details. Looks like both Mugen and ZeroLemon will be releasing batteries for Nexus4... Can't wait!
Sweet so we will have multiple choices. Thank u op
Please help me reach my donation goal for team Noli Bros. Autism walk ​Sent by ma Kittehs they chew on muffins on meow Sexy Nexi 4
I was just updated by Mugen that the battery will be 4000 mAh. They will announce and take orders in early June. :fingers-crossed:
The way the Nexus 4 drinks the battery dry, I was so desperate to get a battery case due to my heavy-duty use. I wrote to ZeroLemon and Mugen and only Mugen had the courtesy to reply to me. Kudos Mugen! :good:
Damn 4000mah on top of 2100mah, days worth of battery

From my experience with similar portable solutions, you never really get the full amount, but still, it prolongs your device significantly when away from plugs to charge your device.

They might not be lying about the 3300 mAH but it's definitely not gonna last as much as you think because of the battery quality.
I VERY much doubt it will last more than the normal 2600 one.

I really hope it lasts better than the original. I don't expect 3300mah worth of battery life but atleast equivalent to 2800-2900mah...I currently get around 5:30hrs screen time... if this gives me 6:30hrs I'll be satisfied

Soo I finally put the battery through a full day of use and I must say that it does not live up to being a 3360mah battery, with that being said @ $26, it does hold up for about the same time as stock so I'll continue to use it as a back up. If I had to make this purchase again I wouldnt. You can get 2 anker batteries for the same price and they will last the same...
Here are some screenshots of my usage. I've been on wifi most of the time and about 3 hours or so on 3g. My usage involved lots of facebook, whatsapp, frequent web browsing using boat browser, a few youtube vids and a couple short calls...

Thanks so much for testing this out, I was contemplating on purchasing this also....I guess there's no other solution for longer battery life that would entail squeezing in a bigger capacity battery in the same amount of space.

I guess so too.. I would wait on one company though. Zero lemon may be releasing a 3000mah battery for the s4 and their batteries do not disappoint. I had their 2300mah battery for the s3 and it gave me around 1 hour extra screen time with about 3 hours extra standby. Zero lemon is highly praised in this forum aswell. To bad that battery isn't released yet...

I reached out to Zero Lemon today but they only replied back saying, "Thank you for your interest. For Galaxy S4 we only have the 7500mAh battery at the moment." ... doesnt seem like they have any future plans for a 3000mah but who knows...maybe...hopefully.

Yes I am aware of that. All I am saying is that 1950 and higher ml after market batteries are much more readily available for the galaxy nexus than the blaze 4G. This phone does not have a lot of accessories or battery options. It was barely marketed and I am just trying to help.

I agree with your point
Some ebay listings on aftermarket batteries will have multiple device codenames ( ex. T769).
We are lucky we don't use an exhilarate, those things are below marketed. Rare to find in public at that.
Good luck with your results.
