[Q] Please help me find an extended battery that fits like stock?

I need an extended battery that does not require the use of a new back cover to fit. I've read through some posts and really not sure?
Which battery is good to get and why?
How much better than stock is it?

There's a 1700 battery that fits standard, bit 200mAh is nothing. Like 12% extra.

Check on Amazon. Either the Prodicell or Hyperion 1800mAh batteries will fit in the original backing. I personally use Prodicell and I have noticed about 2 hrs more battery life with moderate usage.

there is a post here i dont know anything about it but look it up 2430Mah battery (same size as stock) ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page)

Most likely extended batteries that are the same size as stock will actually have less mah..

3500 mAh battery

So its been a full week of testing this battery on my infuse and no lie its amazing. It last about 2x the original battery with full usage. Use as in playing game for 1hour and 30 mins= average 13% drain. Use of Facebook,YouTube, and generally anything that uses the web for about a good 6 hours(not in use every min) average 27% drain. Then next day still have a good amount to last me through the day. First day around 55-65% and second 49-2 or dead. Its really nice, infuse not as heavy(pretty much same weight). Case fit perfect, durable and nice feel to it.

You're talking about the replacement back cover, right?
But as far as I understand, there is no protective outer case (extra protection against dropping etc) suitable for use with the extended battery, right?

Just pick up 3500 mAh... I love the extra time but I already miss my bodyglove case. Tried to modify a cheap rubber case, didn't want to ruin the bodyglove, but that didn't work out too well. Any cases out there for the bigger back?

Something like this?
http://www.amazon.com/Green-Externa...347898124&sr=8-9&keywords=3000+mah+power+bank
Looks pretty good, only $17.25
Assuming you want to carry something extra around, I guess there are two possibilities:
Option 1 - carry spare battery (charged to something like 80%... avoid 100% to extend battery life)
Disadvantage: Have to open up phone (always possibility to contaminate) to replace battery, possibly daily if that's your pattern. Might confuse your battery monitoring widget program and possibly the built-in battery %-remaining feature.
Advantages: In the time it takes to swap battery and boot back up, you're done.
Option 2 - carry a power bank which can charge your battery in a few hours.
Disadvantage - takes a few hours plugged in to get back. Doesn't really have much way to know how much juice is left other than LED when fully charged
Advantage - don't have to open up phone or reboot.

Thanks for the info. Since I did spend some money (a whole $8 on my 3500 mAh), I will try to get use to it rather than switching. Hopefully, someone comes up with a case.
However, that is an excellent idea with the battery power back up for when we lose power (happens more than I would like). Keeping one of them around would have some advanatages.
Edit: cheap ebay 3500 mAh is now draining faster than my regular battery. Might not need to worry about the case...

Hows the battery doing 5 days later?

I experienced a drain on the 3500 and the 1750 stock battery for several days. I had to switch ROM builds but didn't put the other battery back until last night. Right now it is plugged in so I will report back in a day or two.
Edit. Using it two days now and it drains as fast as the 1750. Will give it one more day then back to OEM and Bodyglove case.

Battery lasted one day running really well and the next day (after recharge) drained twice as fast. Went back to standard battery and am using this as a back up now. Very disappointed in the quality.

I tried one of these when I had a captivate and had the same issue. First charge was great but it got to where it lasted the same as the original battery. You have to go Anker or Mugen for descent quality batteries.

I might check it out. Thanks.

I just got in my 3500mAh battery from the ebay seller known as battery gallery, and at 1213; I still have 80% of my battery left, and I unplugged it from the charger at 0800 I consider this pretty impressive, but it's only day 1 of using the battery.

I wish you better luck then I had. First day was good, second day okay, third day someone pulled the plug on the drain. Drop very fast. Of course I could have just gotten a bad battery.

Works like a charm
I picked it up from Amazon, and needless to say the battery works like a charm.

First 10% (from 100%-90%) seem to go very fast?

Maybe not VERY fast, but definitely a lot quicker than say 70%-60%, or 50%-40%, etc... anyone else notice that and happen to know why?

Yeah, same here and have no idea why.

I hope that's the case. .. I got the hyperion 6500 battery. Today's first full charge. 100 to 90 in less than 20 minutes

I wouldn't worry about that so much as total battery life.
Lithium Ion batteries are constantly degrading, and they have those smart circuits that may need a full discharge/full charge cycle to reset the low and high markers. That could be the cause of your observations (the high marker on your battery is no longer where it used to be, therefore the first 10% reading might be off).... but I doubt it because the phones are so new.

Yeah I'm going to do a full drain. Other than that, I love my s5 I always gotta get the extended battery

My theory, Samsung fakes the battery percentage and adds the extra juice to the last 10% so they can make the claim for "24 hours on ultra power saving mode with just 10% battery remaining."

Extended Slim Battery

Just received my 4300 mAh Battery from MPJ For my SM-G900T. I will be seeing if it is any good been waiting for like 3 weeks for it. I am hoping to get battery life close or better then my LG G Flex. I'll let you guys know if anything. Also if you have gotten extended batteries for your S 5. let me know what brand, how many mAh it has and how much was it.

This is what i got with the Battery. Its pretty good. It drops from 100 really fast. You hit 80 in no time. I'm not sure if the phone can read it or not. After that it holds for awhile. I usually charge my phone at work. Where I basically spend my day watching movies. I feel if you use it light to medium you can get easy over 10 hours battery. If heavy use then you get about 8. So all in all its a decent battery for the price

This is with heavy use. The other was light use with about 3 hours screen time

I use the anker 7500 mah extended battery. I can easily get 30+ hours now even with heavy use. Only downside is it's heavy as hell.. Lol

Will look into this if my battery drains quick. Cheers.

Battery replacement?

Hey all
I was wondering if i should buy a replacement battery for my n910F . im considering the Anker 3220mah one.
Do aftermarket battery branda like anker have better battery life than samsung stock oem batteries?
Since lollipop update (3 days ago) i cant get 6h of SOT like i did in KK right now im at 7% with 4h 53min of SOT. I installed greenify and greenified some apps running in background.. I will see if i get better results
Also if i root the phone will i get better battery life? If i freeze some crap? I mean like 1h more of SOT ?

Personally i'd only buy a genuine Samsung battery, whatever you do don't buy any cheap rubbish on ebay, especially if they claim to be higher capacity yet OEM size. If that was possible Samsung would have done it themselves.....

Disabling stuff maybe will get you 30 min more SoT
I have 6 hrs Sot too and its very good comparing to other phones

Not sure if this is the best deal but I only looked a couple of minutes. http://www.shopandroid.com/samsung-extra-3220mah-battery-charging-system/8A37A19066.htm

I bought an Anker battery (the same one you refer to) as a spare with my first round of accessories for my N4. I didn't try it out until one morning when I woke up to find my phone's battery completely drained from some rogue service that had kept it awake all night long. The Anker battery has remained in my phone and been solely used ever since.
I did find it to drain noticeably more slowly that the Samsung battery that came in my phone. I'm not trying to imply that the Anker batteries are better than the OEM batteries; as there are variances between different batches of batteries it seems most likely that my Samsung battery just happened to be on the weaker side of the distribution chart...
What I am saying is that my experience was strong evidence (for me at least) that the batteries made by Anker are at least as good as the batteries made by Samsung. If I needed a new battery, I would buy whichever was cheaper at the time (strictly new and not a knockoff, of course). Taking a quick look at Amazon, if I needed to order a new battery today, I'd order the Anker for $13 rather than the Samsung for $18 without hesitation.
TL,DR: IMO/E Anker makes quality products are their batteries are no exception. My advice @patriotaki: Ordering an Anker battery to see if it lasted longer than the OG battery would be a good decision. It may noticeably extend your battery life (as was my experience) or it may not, but in either case, you'll have a quality backup in case it's ever needed regardless of which one you decide to make your "primary". If you think you should be getting better battery life than you are currently, trying a different battery is an entirely reasonable troubleshooting step (along with the others suggested), and most definitely worth the low cost :good:
