Was browsing around looking for a new case for my Skyrocket. Ended up at this site, which appears to be very good. Reading input regarding extended life batteries, could not help myself so joined up to give you recent experience. Was doing the usual charge it every 8 hours with my new phone. Online found, received and overly impressed with my new 3500mah extended battery. Received it two days ago; had 60% upon receiving. Per instructions, charged it to 100% and unplugged. Next step is to totally drain until it shuts off (still working on that today - 530pm and still at 57%) then recharge to 100% plus 3 hours extra on charger. There are no side affects from this battery as it replaces the factory and is a one battery system, just over sized. I am and was looking for a new case that will fit the over sized battery. When you buy the battery for 29.99 it comes with a back cover that accommodates the over sized battery. Got it at accessoryswamp.com. FYI=(3500MAH Extended Life Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Battery,BAT-0018-GS2RKT,1,$29.99) Still looking for silicon type battery cover though; any help appreciated. Hope this helps in battery buying decisions.
Lookinf for Case for 3500MH Extended Battery
I, too, purchased my extended battery for the Skyrocket from Accessory Swamp and have been pleased with its performance that lasts at least 10 hours daily with Bluetooth activated. Hope to find a case for it.

Hello guys, I wonder if you can help me at all. I have a Samsung gt-i9000 running android 4.3 at the moment . When I upgraded the OS (I was on 4.0) I have noticed that the battery life decreased dramatically, It lasts no longer than half a day. I have already changed one battery but with not much success, so
I started to look into high capacity ones. I had a look around and found a few reviews here and there but not specifically for the gt-i9000 – even this useful one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956293 . So I wonder:
1)has anybody tried one of these high capacity batteries on the gt-i9000? I looked at the zerolemon 7500mAh and the anker 52000mAh - although I don't know whether these are compatible with my phone;
2)I presume that the high capacity batteries are actually thicker than the default 1500mAh I have at the moment, so when you buy one do they come with another back cover?

Hi, I recently bought a Polarcell 1800mAh battery on Ebay which gives me half a day more juice on Galaxy running CM 10.2. I found out that all batteries above this capacity are massively thicker than the original one and do require a wider back cover. Most of these bigger ones are shipped together with a back cover.
Regarding your questions about the zerolemon, I only found batteries for the S2 and the S3 which wont fit for the S1.
not your battery at fault, sounds like you got wakelock issues. with your rom.
thanks guys.
@zegovernator I think I need something more powerful than 1800mAh so I might need to get a bulky one. I have found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3000mAh-B...-Extended-with-Black-back-cover-/150981110923 that seems to be good enough.
@slybunda, thanks for your comment. If it is an issue with that, would you know how to fix it without me buying another battery?
thanks
use app called better battery stats and see the individual wakelocks I had issues with google currents and hangouts both which I don't use so I disabled them and got my full battery life back. have a look for one of my posts in the i9000 battery threads got screenshots of very good battery life
Got 1800 battery from Anker, very good.
Only charges slowly with the car adapter.
Depends on kernel and rom for how long it lasts.. Was very good using android 4.3 but recently battery was discharging fast after gapps update.
Fine again now on kitkat
Buy from Ebay 1800 in good price,I did =)
I got one on ebay. The battery comes fast but it shown 100% charge during the first time usage. But drain out too fast. I use this extended battery and made my phone as thick as a brick. The battery life didn't works like it stated. So sad!! Anyone can suggest one to me???
just use the samsung one with the charging kit, its really portable, theres a carrying case for the battery, and doesn't add much space in your pocket, especially if you're a guy. and makes the phone so much silmmer. and actually lasts long like the one the comes with the phone.
Don't go with no-name, cheap batteries, not because of horror stories like batteries exploding and whatnot, but because simply you will not get a product that performs anywhere near the claimed capacity.
Personally, I only see 3 options at the moment:
1. Get the Samsung battery kit, that comes with an extra genuine battery and an external charger/carrying case for it. That way, you don't add bulk to an already large phone and you have extra piece of mind with 100% extra juice.
2. Get an extended battery like the Mugen battery. It is pricey, but offers wireless charging capabilities as well as leaving NFC fully functional. I am currently testing a unit and it seems to indeed double battery life, like it's supposed to. I went from 4 hours SOT to 8.5 hours during the first charge cycle.
3. Get an even bigger extended battery like the Zerolemon one. It makes the phone huge, but also comes with a rugged protective case with port covers and an in-built screen protector. It can give you 3 times battery life you get from stock battery, although I haven't used it myself so I cannot confirm or deny.
I hope I helped you!
First ZeroLemon sucks. Had 2 they both went back. What battery did u use?
BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
Hello guys,
I am only getting 2h SoT on my S4, the phone gets really hoooot and the battery got "bigger", so it's dying. Which one is probably the best one to get? Anker, Zerolemon, Ravpower or anything else? I used some Anker ones on my previous phone and was quite happy with them.
How much SoT/battery life could I expect on a battery like these?
Cheers!

Some people said that ZeroLemon fixed the stuffy audio problem on their batteries now it has a space above the speaker, so you'll not have problems with/about this.
Never bought an Anker battery, i cant say too much about it, there are another threads about this battery in this section. But comparing ZL and Anker both have similar results.
I dont Know RavPower.
I have an ZeroLemon myself, everyday i got 9-12h screen, even after 1 year.
I bought one of these.

I got a RAV Power battery for my S4 off of Amazon for 12 EUR and I've been using it for a week, on stock vanilla firmware (but this is another story).
I get out in the morning at 8.30am and I use my S4 in the car for navigation (Waze) and music (TuneIn Radio or Google Play Music) for 1h a day (30 mins in the morning and 30 mins in the evening), then some calls, emails, whatsapp, etc. (no games or exotic stuff) and I usually get back home with a 40% battery around 7pm.
A colleague at work bought a Duracell after market battery for 24.50 EUR and he's not satisfied as the new battery gets very hot during simple use and he have to charge it at least one time during the day.
It has been just a week, but I'm pretty satisfied with this RAV Power battery!
Zerolemon 7500mah user here nothing to complain about.
Music sounds good because it has a gap between the battery and the speaker it actually made the sound better or somewhat amplified because it has space inside the TPU case that comes with it.
Using this 7500mah for close to 2 years now and still gives me 10-12hrs SOT max per day.
I use iPhone charger 1A and charge it only when i sleep, upon waking up its full charge.
after inheriting a S4 im not very happy with battery life, its a replacement off the bay..ie fake..so which one should i go for,,im in the uk so i dont think all the battery makes are available to me easily..cheers
ZeroLemon and Anker seem to be popular replacements.

thanks, yep defo need a new one, 38% before bed time and 2% this morning, think ill go with anker over ravpower
im actually in two minds wheather the battery is knackered, i put it in safe mode last night and it drained 6%, maybe a app is causing it, gsam battery stats doesnt tell me anything is draining it, maybe im over thinking it and just need a new battery full stop, the last one was a cheapo off the bay
one thing i did notice is when i charge it to 100% gsam is telling me its at 1200mah, weird
If you're in Canada and want a cheap fix, the Source is clearing out some $0.96 CAD battery cases for the S4 (and S3). Lots of trade-offs with using a battery case, but it's the cheapest solution.

I bought a "NFC-compatible" Perfine battery and the NFC didn't work.
I'm a big fan of MPJ batteries - the standard size are maybe 10% better than stock, and I personally rock a 8,500mah battery all the time. Used on the S4, Note 3, Note 1, and others.
zerolemon

That's pretty good for a stock capacity battery
I bought a few days ago a 5.050mAh HSA battery the same size as Samsung, I'm waiting for the arrival. I had one on my Optimus G and it lasted a long time. Highly recommend!

Hello,
I am looking to replace an OEM Samsung battery in my Galaxy s4 i9505 that has finally bit the dust. I tried the RAVPower battery but it didn't support NFC like the Amazon listing claimed (returned at no charge thankfully).
All I want is a NFC capable battery that lasts as long as a new Samsung one would (if they still made them lol) and can work with Android Pay (running LineageOS with it already installed and ready to go).
I've read some good things about Anker batteries and they seem to meet my needs. Can anyone provide their experiences with them? Are they good batteries? If not, what is a good brand?
Anker and Zerolemon seem to be very popular.
also craftman batteries are really nice and almost the same as original
Just an update. I went with the Anker battery after. NFC works perfectly and battery life is almost as good as a brand new OEM battery (lasts all day under normal usage). Can't complain!

Its an absolute shame that ZeroLemon stopped making the 3000mah battery for the S4 years ago. On amazon they where offering TWO for the price of one PLUS a dual charger deck for I think $15 and like an idiot I didn't buy it, before I knew it, they where sold out and completely disappeared from everywhere including eBay overnight!
I ended up buying the 5200mah Anker battery, which without a doubt is a top battery, never had a problem and lasted at least 8 hours without needing a charge with GPS and screen on throughout. But it was bulky as hell and the back cover was really ugly. However most companies sorted out their battery cover designs in the S5/S6 and above.
For me Anker was better than original.
Hi,
Recently bought a new battery for the I9505 and went with the manufacturer Yanec. From what i can find it is a Dutch company, at least the website redirects to a Dutch website.
It has 2600 mAh, lasts for about 8 hours playing some games, GPS turned off, NFC turned on. Paid around 23 euro for it and i am very satisfied. (How can i not be, my last original battery held charge for 2 min lol)
