I got it within 15 days

Would I be better off buying a third party, supposedly high capacity battery like this one or buying an original Samsung battery? I'm looking for an extended battery life, but I read none of the "high capacities" perform substantially better?

I received my new battery a few days ago, it last less than my old one, I hope this is only due to calibration time and things will get better in a few day...

My battery last quite more after a week of use. And the one I gave to my girlfriend is also quite better than her old one.

Battery arrived yesterday, into the phone and left it switched off for first 8hour charge. Battery is already way better than my old one, going to let it drain completely and recharge overnight for the next 3 days,then I'll report back.

Is that what you bought?
Yeh this seems way to good to be true. 2x 1800mAh batteries and the all important battery charger as its hard to charge both batteries with one phone.
But the pricer is really putting me off. Guessing no one has tried them yet????
Really tempted. Are these non-official batteries safe to use with the SGS2?
Hmm it looks too good to be true. I am tempted to get it though.
I just bought something like that. 2 batteries and a charger. I bought it for the charger, as I expect the batteries will be 1.000mAh max. Will buy a genuine battery when they appear someplace trustworthy.
I bought mine on....
Well from www.spider-foot.com they're very cheap and you get 3x screenprotectors for free. I think they are 1650mAh btw!
I just spent $800 on a phone, I'm not going to put some $10 Chinese battery in it so it can explode or melt - I'll just keep looking/waiting...
Search for EB-F1A2GBU and you'll find some genuine batts for 22 to 30E
That said i'd prefer having a batt + batt charger like the chinese sell, cause swapping batt to charge isnt fun, going to test it. For 8Eur, at least, the charger should be fine.. i hope

Just received my original spare battery from Export Prive. The battery is a Korean-market one, and even says "Near Field Communication" on it! Here are photos of the front and rear, the Korean battery is on the left and the UK battery is on the right.
Also got the battery charger for it. I thought it was an aftermarket one since it was so cheap, but it turns out it is an original Samsung battery charger! Also doubles as a stand for your phone.

I understand your concerns but has anyone experienced exploding or melting, I say this because I have used similar batteries on my Samsung Omnia and the i9000. Never experienced any problems and used them for over a year or so.

I purchased the same 1800mAh battery from ebay and exploding or melting is very unlikely as even the cheap aftermarket batteries manufactured in China have an integrated chip preventing overcharging or exploding.
On the other hand the 1800mAh are nothing but an exaggeration because the real capacity is around 1000mAH meaning its just an emergency solution if you should run out of your main battery while on the go rather than a real replacement for the original battery.

Clearly the writing on the outside of these batteries are lies, since they do not last as long as they should.
However, for the cheap price - it does supply you with those extra critical hours you might need.
Also, the charger is very handy and also works with the stock battery! (hopefully does no harm!)
I ordered a 3600mAh battery from eBay last week. I don't suppose you have tried one of those yet have you?

Didn't see this one! No I haven't tried it.
Upon receiving yours, I suppose you should calibrate it using Battery Left (there's a free version) and I could add it to this thread for others to use as a reference?

Heey Navalynt!! Good to see you here man, rocked a couple of your mods for the Atrix!
About this battery, do you seriously expect it to make a difference? You won't be able to fit any case on the phone either. On the other hand, 16$ isn't the end of the world..
(Also, how do you charge them both, suppose you'll need a cradle of some sort?)
Thanks for posting, never did think these sketchy batteries were any good.
I ordered a 2 billion mAh battery from a Chinese located eBay seller, it doubles as a car battery too. Should probably last an extra 30-40 seconds longer than my OEM 1750 mAh battery from Samsung.

Re calibrating the 1900mAh battery today, will post updated stats later.
Added the re-calibration of the 1900mAh. First reading wasn't bogus, the battery lasted even less second time round! ~6 hours!
So in other words, whatever it's rated at, cut it in half if its cheap crap.
Any chance you going to do the Official Extended Battery for GSM?
I will probably order one in the future but not immediately. However I would appreciate if someone calibrated their extended battery and posted a BatteryLeft screen here, as it would most likely incline me to buy one quicker!!

Thanks for the review. The 1900 mah battery stats are an eye opener. I ordered the 2300 mah battery, when it comes I will provide feedback if you haven't already by that time. Hopefully its better than the stock gsm battery. lol

Cheap Battery for Samsung Galaxy 3 (1650mah)

I recently bought a new battery for my Samsung Galaxy 3, because the battery which i was using for about a year, couldn't last more than a full day.
In Greece, a genuine Samsung battery costs about 20, maybe more, euros.
I found a battery on ebay (not genuine "Samsung") at the price of 3.89 Pounds (+1.49 pounds shipping cost). It lasts double my previous battery
The price and the quality are very good, and i recommend everyone to buy it.
Ebay link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-B...ltDomain_3&hash=item41601c0dc4#ht_3986wt_1037
If you buy it, leave feedback.
This is the battery that I have been looking at:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-2430...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item2c619911e0
It is made in Japan, and the batteries made in Japan are general top quality.

Yeah, but... is it really made in Japan?
Recently Bought the Original Battery for Galaxy3, from Authorized Samsung Dealer in India, although many people cheating for pricing on original Battery, I got it with Bill and Warranty for Rs.500/- in India (is little under 10 USD).
MRP was 11USD and got one dollar discount as the shop owner is a old friend.
Don't know why many seller want to sell the original battery at double price.

Seems you are one of the few users who were able to reach 2 yr. mark with Stock battery.
If battery starts discharging fast, or shows damage and your back panel refuses to close fully correctly, you should go for a new battery.

Polarcell 2700mAh great battery life

A few weeks ago I purchased one of these Polarcell 2700mAh batteries.
It took a few cycles but now the battery life is amazing. Yesterday I had been texting and chatting on skype pretty much all day and I was surprised my battery wasn't empty yet so I went into the settings to check my screen on time.
My screen brightness was on auto and I don't have any apps like noled that keep the screen technically on but don't consume a lot of battery. All I did was use Skype and Gosmspro.
So if anyone is looking for a replacement battery, I can recommend the Polarcell 2700mAh..
Bravo. Although a stock battery can be as good as new.

Just bought one today for my galaxy s3 , i was confused about which battery to buy and how it would act.. I just saw your post now, so i feel that I did a good discussion :good:
screen shot
Could you please post screen shot of your About Phone with details of Rom/Kernel you're on? Thanks
Does it lose its charge in the next few weeks?
are these batteries the same dimension as the stock one? I mean, do I have to use a different back cover(bulky phone)?
@Octhellio which rom and kernel do you use ?
Been using a polarcell 2700 for a few months - and no matter what rom/kernel(both TW based or CM/PA/AOKP) I have been using - it holds its charge extremely well Worth the $$$
Great topic!
Do you know if the PolarCell is better than the MoTec?

I have search for reviews of Polarcell batteries, and found several happy users in many others phones.
So I bought two units on Ebay, one for my phone and one for my wife's phone.
I think it should be much better than these batteries from China...
Well, at least this seems to be made in Germany.

Are you using an AOSP based ROM or TW based? That's quite impressive is AOSP. I have 3 batteries and have my cellular signal off with brightness often at the lowest and get 4.5h maximum (batteries not too old).
Your android system usage is a lot lower than mine, what were you using it for?
Can you please weigh it compared to the standard battery?

I played 3 games and really feel that the battery discharge much more slower than my older one.
After 2h18m of screen time, it has 28% left!
I used 2h18m games/internet/youtube and it only discharge 30% (it´s a record on my phone)
Buuuuuuuuuuuut, it´s only the first impression...
Today I will fully charge the phone and do some tests...
I come back soon with my impressions.
Best regards

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Long story short: It really seemed fishy at first, then I had used the battery for 11+ hours and battery life is at 33% atm :good:
I watched youtube vids for at least half an hour, played real racing for an hour and every often I kept on browsing the web. Battery is AWESOME and looks like it really is 1950mAh. My brand new Samsung original battery lasts shorter than this battery
The battery comes in a nice bubble wrap with a good quality sticker protecting the battery pins. Really can not understand still how something like this can be this high quality yet this inexpensive. Gives my $29.99 Original battery a HUGE run for its money
Get yours here for $3--> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251307473117?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Hey. The battery works like a dream
2 weeks and no problems getting 8-12 hours with some youtubing and gaming. Using JellyBam 10.1, it took 3 weeks to come to canada

Hey, compared to the original1650mah battery from Samsung, this seems to last about 1 hour or 2 more. I am using the battery at the moment

Then it seems that 1950mah is only sticker on it, 1-2h difference is coming from that the original battery you had is old and new one is just fresh...

Used this battery for almost 2 weeks, so far so good. :good:
thanx for the info on the battery.. will get one for me and one for my wife..
i bought this battery a month ago nothing special
just a cheap second battery and in no way 1950 mah
don't get me wrong for 3 euro it is awesome
The only fear is from explosion or something like that with replaced battery.
Just bought 2 from a seller on fleabay uk at £3 each, difference is mine dont have the samsung brand but instead have smaller "For Galaxy S2" printed on both sides, maybe samsung is finally doing something about all the fake sammy batteries being sold and genuine buyers getting stung, i fully understand that oem batteries are in most cases cheaper and can be as good as the original but if it says samsung it should mean genuine samsung and not have a half truth half way down a sellers listing saying packed in bubble wrap not a genuine product and no mention of any warranty whatsoever, still fleabay wont enforce the "genuine non genuine" listings because they claim they cannot police every seller !doesnt stop them taking their fees from every seller though.
haha awesome
yap, its cheap ,
I buy some different brand for S2,
but stock bat. usually have more cycle life than other :cyclops:
Huh! Going to order this..
