[Q] Best aftermarket BATTERY? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

There is a company called Anker that makes high quality - high capacity aftermarket batteries for phones, however, I don't think they have one for ours yet.
I'm a little gun shy to buy aftermarket batteries again...
My experience with Anker Batteries:
I had one for my MT4GS and although it did last much longer, I kid you not it does something really weird to the phone. Call me crazy, but I had random people confirm this with their very own eyes. If you've experienced this too, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
1. Like I said, I kid you not, when I put in the higher capacity battery, it made the screens color look more washed out and blurry. Crazy, crazy I know, but it's darn true. Has anyone else experienced this?
2. For whatever reason, the phone would freeze often as well, whereas before with the OEM battery, everything was fine. I had to pull the battery almost 2 times a day to restart it from a freeze.
Interesting....

I was looking for an extended battery for this phone as well but when I searched for the Anker brand as I have it for another device, they all said not compatible with the AT&T or T-Mobile version.

The batteries for the international version are a different size than ours so no, they won't work.

also the other batteries might not come with the NFC
if you don't mind losing the NFC feature on the phone, then you can use the 2000 mAh original batteries from samsung

personally i prefer this over having it at the back cover like on the Nexus S
this means i can chance the phone skin any time i want without worrying about losing NFC
i saw many nice back covers for the Nexus S but couldn't change it as they do not include the NFC antennae on the aftermarket back covers for the Nexus S

No way! you 100% sure about this? I was planning to buy an extra battery but now I'm hesitate to buy. How do I know which battery has NFC and which battery don't? I thought on the galaxy S2 they integrated onto the phone.

just wait for a new version of the 2000 mAh with NFC
the last one i saw on the samsung website did not have NFC build in

Would the 150 mAH additional warrant the large price? (probably $50+)

Tmobile Galaxy S2 has the same battery as what...?
I'm looking to get a spare battery and external charger for my S2. Looking for anker or chichitec, what other device has the same compatibility as ours. Which ones will fit?

You may have a hard time finding cheap batteries for this phone because the NFC antenna is built into the battery. If you do find one, there's a chance your NFC will suffer because of it. If you don't use NFC, that may not be a problem. I on the other hand, use it daily.

The Samsung Infuse has the same battery.

There are some cheap ones over at thE BAY around $10 for 2 battery plus wall charger OEM are around $30.

does the cheap one from ebay include NFC ?

Extra set of quality batteries?
Has anybody here bought a quality battery from ebay? there are batteries ranging from 10 dollars to 40 dollars and I'm just wondering if any of them are good? i don't want such an expensive extra battery but i also don't want a cheap battery that will mess up my phone.. speaking of which, can a bad battery mess up a phone's internal system? Thanks for the responses.
if possible, provide a link to the ebay listing or just tell me what i should specifically search for.

i'll suggest buying the real Samsung batteries if you can afford $40

thanks allgamer for the response. the thing is i can't afford the $40. should i just wait till a quality replacement battery comes to market? i used to have an htc pro and i bought cheap batteries on ebay for it that came in handy and worked well but my phone eventually died out (screen does not turn on all the time but it might be a wiring problem and not a battery problem). i was hoping there was a similar economically viable option for the galaxy s 2.

it might take a bit
because these news batteries comes with the NFC
so the cheap ones in ebay or where ever they don't usually include the NFC

I doubt it. And the Infuse has a lower mAh

i don't really need NFC with the extra set of batteries. NFC's potential hasn't been fully realized yet and i don't have much use of it as of now.
one question though.. if i buy those cheap batteries on ebay, will it destroy my phone because of incompatibility issues?

Spare Battery

Anyone aware of any place to buy a cheap spare battery for the Galaxy Nexus? I've been having trouble finding anywhere to buy one online. I'm guessing it's maybe too early?
NFC is in the battery, so I don't think cheap is gonna happen.
Seriously in the battery?

Is it really? Dammit. That sucks. I've been able to snag spare batteries for my previous phones, including my Galaxy S, for $10-$15.
There is no proof that NFC is "in the battery." There is merely speculation since NFC verbiage is included on the stock battery.
Some say the battery just acts as an antenna for NFC and the actual chip is in the phone (likely).
Some say the battery contains every necessary NFC component (unlikely).
Whatever the case, cheap knockoff batteries will most certainly be available soon. I had three ($15 shipped) Anker brand batteries for my SGSII. Didn't care about NFC since it's currently such a limited feature I never got a chance to even try it (nor did I on my I9020A).
So, we will have a plethora of cheap replacements soon. Anyone who thinks the only available replacement will be a genuine Samsung battery is dead wrong.

Has anyone tried one of these cheapo ebay extended batteries?

Found this extended battery on ebay, was wondering if anyone on here has tried it, i know it looks hideous, but if you know your making a trip somewhere it could come in handy if it works the way its supposed to. Its cheap as hell too.

9 bucks... can't be too great,
but what can you lose? lol
Seems to me that if the larger aftermarket brands have trouble meeting the stated mAh rating on their batteries, what more of unbranded ones that goes for an even lower value?
I also still have very clear memory on exploding phones from third party batteries years ago
I bought a cheapo 3800mah and it lasts barely longer than my stock extended battery. I wish samsung made an official 3800mah version

Buy 2 stock batteries and solder them together. Works great.
3500 real mah. I didn't think the 2000 extended batteries would fit under the cover from the Hyperion I had here. I agree though, if I can solder it up in an evening, Samsung certainly could work up something.
hopefully more phones in the future will be like the razr and give us a factory extended battery closer to 3000mah.
Razr maxx when I had it for a week was sick! Hard use all day, charged every other day, seriously insane battery life. If that phone ever gets bootloader unlocked, I would be all over it again.

Have you done this solder thing? Any tips?
if you look at the battery in the phone you can see that there is some space at the top of each terminal, use this space to solder a fine piece of copper wire to a second battery. make sure to solder the batteries in parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative, to retain the same voltage.
i remember taking apart a so called 3500mah battery from ebay and they were just two cheap 1500mah batteries tapped together. Apparently in china 1500X2 is 3500.
Why does everyone want extended batteries? 99% of people have access to a power cord most of the day and just don't need it. Granted, I'm new to the phone, but I really hope I don't need to carry around a huge battery or two. Personally I'd rather charge it more often. Just my own opinion.

Even If it's 1500 that's still 3000mah for less than $10. Pretty good deal.

As long as you know that I don't see a problem. Spend $10, use it for 6 months, buy another one. Much better than spending $100 for a mugen.
Even the Samsung batteries lose their capacity over time.

(You'll have to complete the link at the beginning because I don't have enough posts to post links)
Anyway I'll have to assume that the batteries I posted are an analog to what you posted. That means that they wont have NFC capability. This may or may not be a big deal depending on what you want to use the phone for. Reading the comments it also seems like the batteries drain faster than the stock battery, but considering you get 2 + a charger this could still be a decent deal for $15
Lots of El Cheapo replacement batteries (shipped from HK) are already available at eBay. I still use HK-shipped backup batteries for my Captivate. They might not last as long as the originals, but they can get a few hours of juice when if your main runs out. They also take a "few" days to be delivered.
Edit: If the NFC component of the SIII is built-in in the battery... I doubt that these El Cheapo aftermarket will have NFC.
If anything, I would get something like this: link. But I'm going to wait until I have my S3, just in case the North American version requires a different battery. Which it shouldn't, but I'm a little paranoid.

Is the NFC always built into the battery. I tried to find out if that is the way it is on the Galaxy Nexus.....they both use the same NFC chip.
NFC is built into the battery on at least the Galaxy Nexus and Skyrocket and Hercules, probably many others as well.
Most of the cheaper battery makers will advertise a higher MAH value than the battery is actually capable of.
The last 1800 MAH battery I bought off ebay (similar to some cheapy amazon) lasted only ~70% as long as my OEM 1800 MAH battery.
I ordered these too. I had them for my s2 and they worked well. Good enough for a spare to carry around.
The 3rd party batteries for SGS3 thread is there
NFC is not as important to me right now but I imagine in the next year or so it will be something I cannot live without. Well, once I program some and learn tasker
That said... $20 for the Hyperion regular batteries and charger is a no-brainer. If nothing else, just to have backups. Still wishing for NFC even if they are a little more money.
I've had hyperion batteries for my Droid Charge, and they work quite well, but they seem to lose their ability to hold a charge faster than stock batteries. I've had them for about a year now and they started losing their charge around 7-8 months in.
Great deal though!

Batteries is one of those things I almost never get aftermarket ones for unless from a really reputable company, I've seen too many battery implosion/explosions due to bad QC. Great way to ruin a phone/device.

I agree with this. I am hoping that the OEM ones are available by the time I get my phone. Once reputable companies have alternatives that have numerous favorable reviews (especially NFC ones) I'll certainly consider them but for now I'm not going to take the risk.

How about you start by telling us where you go these batteries? As for NFC, it stands for Near Field Communications. It can be used in a way to pay for items, or bumping phones together to share information, such as pictures, contacts, etc. I am not a fan of it, I always have it turned off in my phone settings.

What, where did you hear that? The only thing I have seen people have to worry about with cheap batteries is how much of a charge they hold and how well they actually work. I have seen batteries malfunction due to ****ty car chargers before though but never just a battery fail while in a phone minus ghost stories from trolls on the internet.

mAh has nothing to do with the amount of current or voltage so I don't know what you mean by manufacturers having large tolerances?? And it wouldn't be detrimental, it would add to your battery life. (as long as the mAh claims are accurate)

yeah no need for a new back cover
Can anybody say something about how long does the phone works with this battery?

hey i just made some fast research on the seller of the item
i cant link the url apparently because i jus made the account but go ahead and check the ebay sellers' (utigertech) feedback. They are not good.
in short, this battery is fake and some user feedback states that it does not last even longer than the stock 2100mah samsung oem battery

Testing of MPJ 3200mah Battery for S3
I have purchased one of the MPJ 3200 mah batteries for the Galaxy S3. I have bench tested the battery over 7 days with multiple charges and discharges.
The results are that the battery is approximately 2000 mah it does not even come close to 3200 mah. The sellor is being misleading on the mah and you are better off buying a standard battery as it has 2100 mah and NFC.
I will try and test a few more batteries in the next couple of weeks..

I looked on their site and only found a 2200mAh battery, the bigger ones are double sized with the retrofit back plate.
Stock battery is only 2100mAh, so the Anker one isn't that much better =/
If the battery fits inside the standard back plate then it is the same capacity (or even less) as the standard battery, it's physically impossible for it to be any greater. Any advert saying a higher capacity for the same size is lying, so avoid.
Main point about the Anker is having two batteries, so you charge outside the phone and always have a fully charged spare to hand.

I'm not going to question ur knowledge about this, but how can u have different mAh "AA" batteries, that are all the same size in that case??
I don't want to have to carry around a second battery with me all the time, this is why I was looking at different bigger capacity batteries =/
You can buy AA batteries in many different forms, alkaline, NiCad, Li-ion etc. Each has a different power density, with Li-ion being the highest. Standard S3 batteries are already the highest density so can't be bettered, if it were that easy then Samsung would have already done it.
The only way to get more capacity is to increase the physical dimensions, don't take my word for it try Wikipedia.

? No, you weren't at all rude -I wouldn't suggest anyone accept 'internet advise' without cross checking it against something else.
The batteries you've chosen have a modest claim for capacity so are probably genuine. Only drawbacks are the limited warranty and return postage, if ever required. The desktop battery charger I have looks identical, plugs into a standard micro usb charger so you might not need an adaptor.

Add my vote for the ZeroLemon 2300's. I've been using one for a while and it's great.

I've had very good experience with the ZeroLemon 2300 too.
Very good battery life with Carbon ROM.
My friend is also using the Zerolemon battery, I'm still doing fine with my stock battery.
