Don't waste your money on these. Wait for the Galaxy S 4G 1650mAh battery.

I'm not sure if the Galaxy S2 battery could fit, because of its bigger size...

You know what they say:
If it sounds too good to be true ... it probably is

Most of these higher capacity, but same size batteries on eBay are more often than not fakes.
If Samsung could fit more mAH into a battery that size, surely they would have?

Not necessarily.

If you don't mind the extra bulk, look into the Momax 2700mah battery. Battery life ia great on it

those are not fake battery, the seller did not state they are OEM, it's just some third party brand.

thankss a lot for content

Look at ebay.com (better buy in dollars)...battery for Galaxy 3000 mh with new back cover....more or less 9 euro. I have two and it works pefect!!!!!!!!

Battery life doubled, but then it's not so thin anymore and looks not so nice. I wait for the 1650mah accu.

The Samsung 1800mah battery will fit this phone. I used to use that and the andida 2300 mah battery and I never had to worry about having a dead phone

I should have bought the Andida one but i bought the one 2000mah one

I bought a 3500mAh from eBay. The actual battery says that it is a replacement for an i9000. It includes a new back that is for the t959 series. A gel/silicon case stretches over the case. The battery in the case was a little loose, so I placed a business card in there like I did for my old blackberry.
eBay item number - 230845639488

I've tested the Andida "2800 mAh" battery and don't believe that it has significantly more capacity than the 1800 mAh ones out there. It's a fine battery, but I wouldn't have any regrets with buying an 1800 mAh OEM. Anything in the same form factor as the OEM battery isn't going to have significantly more capacity than 1800 mAh. There is some basic physics/chemistry involved that reinforces "If it sounds too good to be true..."

Well ima test the 2000 mah battery. It comes with two so I'm pretty Much satisfied

How long does your battery life last?

Recommend me a battery.

Hi,
I'm looking to replace the stock 1500mAh battery in my nearly 2-year-old Galaxy S. I've had a look around a notice their are some high capacity ones available. However, I'm not looking for those "extended" packs, it needs to have the same dimensions as the stock battery in order to fit into the case I use. I have no idea which manufacturers are reliable, can somebody help me out?

I've heard recommendations of Anker batteries of 1800mAh. You can find them easily on Amazon.

In one of the big battery threads here on the forum 3 1800mah batteries are compared: anker, polarcell and samsung. The samsung is the most expensive. The polarcell and anker are more or less the same price and most users said the polarcell performed the best. I have one of these and it's much better than the stock, so i sugest you buy a polarcell of amazon

You can't trust the mAh-specifications of most batterys anyway so I'd choose Polarcell since they last longer than the original ones.

You can't add another 930ma capacity on top of the standard 1500mah without increasing the size. It's a lie

Hello everyone,
i have a SGS+ with the stock battery of 1650mAh. I am wondering if it worth to buy one of 1800mAh such us the Polarcell you mentioned.
Which is the (average) difference on hours?
Thanks in advance!

I would say if your battery needs replacing anyway then yes buy the anker or polarcell, but if your battery doesn't need replacing then its not really worth 'upgrading'.

I've been using Polarcell for more than 6 months now. Better than my aging stock and utterly reliable so far.

do you know if they if battery is built in NFC or is it on the phone? I thought I saw somewhere that the NFC was part of the battery on the s4? and if it is, do you know if the anker battery has this too?

They weren't able to increase mah of battery?

I had this same exact package when I had the S3. It was awesome...
Thanks for the link, I just ordered it for my upcoming S4.

guess that they are going to do so, when i check back gs3 batteries, they provided basic mah unit while you have more options for extended batteries, am keeping an eye on it

On s3 they extended at the same stock size and yes was nfc compatible can't see how it won't be for s4. Bummer if they don't put in More mahs though.

What's the point of 2600 mah battery? Just to use as a spare one?

it's not yet 30th but battery is available now , im getting for me s4, pity that they still have no over size units
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CBTTA4A/

i got the Onite 2600mAh Battery on order. it's only $6 and i have the S3 version which works pretty good. not sure about NFC, but i only need it as a backup battery in emergency. they also have Onite 2 batteries plus the dock charger for $15

Looks like Hyperion has an extended battery for S4 now on Amazon.

o really? but there's no capacity, do you have any ideas ?

Are these batteries supposed to be better or are they just cheaper?

Is there a website where they review batteries like these to see how they fair as far as the stock batteries?

I got a pair of the Anker batteries for my Atrix. They work pretty well and have lasted longer than the OEM one. But the oem wasn't holding a full charge anyway. It was nice that I got it with the universal charger. It'll charge just about any phone battery. Sometimes you just need that extra battery when you're out all day. Batteries drain when the GPS is running.. Ingress.. shame on you!

here are the extended batteries:

just got an email back from ZeroLemon,
they say mid may is the release for their Galaxy S 4 battery-pack/case combos !!
i responded asking if they were taking pre-orders, and if they could say the mAh capacity.
since the s3 pack was 7000, id say the S 4 will be similar.
*excellent*

I just picked this up as well, very curious how well it performs.

Any original size batteries with more mah than stock (2600mah)

I have heard ZeroLemon is coming out 3000mah original size but haven't seen it yet. Are there any others out there that are legit and not ebay knock offs? I don't want an extended battery as I'd like to keep the original size and not carry a brick around.
Thanks.
If this should be in Q and A please move it
