Anker 1750mAh battery for SGH-T989

So I found this 1750mAh Anker battery for the T989 and I'm wondering:
The standard OEM battery is 1850mAh.
This Anker battery is 1750mAh.
Anker is known to make higher capacity batteries that don't require a separate back cover. (I've had an HTC Sensation and an Anker battery was like heaven on it)
So is this Anker battery really 1750mAh? It would seem kind of pointless since the OEM battery is 1850mAh ... Has anyone ever bought this before? There are no reviews

Yeah, I saw that as well. I don't think it's worth getting since it's a bit worse in mah compared to the stock...
I knew that the Ankers were reasonably better than stock EVO 3D batteries, but this does not seem to be the case here.

I'm wondering if anyone got it. Its not even so expensive. I suppose Anker made it 1750mAh but did some tweaks to make it last longer than stock, if that's possible at all. Just a guess.
Any other batteries anyone would recommend? I only prefer one that barely adds much thickness with a new cover.

Our phone's battery is interchangeable with the infuse 4g and i think the epic toucg 4g, and i believe they just use the rate for those and say it's ours

There's a 95% chance I will be ordering this soon, so I'll keep this updated when I receive it. I have good hopes for it because of my previous experiences with Anker batteries. They work wonders.

keep us posted of your impression

Just ordered the battery
I'll post my results.
Edit:
My results with the 2050mah battery are noticeably better than stock. I would go as far as to say that I'm getting 2 or more extra hours out of each charge. For $10 on Amazon, you are definitely getting your money's worth.
I was going to insert some screenshots and the Amazon link, but apparently I have to post 8 times to the forums before I can post links..... so, you'll have to take my word for it and do your own Amazon search for the Anker 2050.

planning on ordering one myself. please let us know guys! thanks!

I ordered one yesterday. It should arrive sometime this week. I will post results when i get it.

Extended battery case or battery?

I'm wondering if any company has released a extended battery case or an extended battery for the galaxy s3

http://www.amazon.com/Onite-4500mAh-Extended-Battery-Smartphone/dp/B0082BYK8M

For my old phone, I had really a low battery and I never had a chance to charge it. I bought an extra battery, but i still had a low battery problem since the original one was almost dying. I had to buy an portable battery functions as extended battery. I used it all the time until i got a new phone. Not sure if you need a battery for galaxy s3 for now. But, this is the battery that I used for my old phon in case you might be interested in. http://www.spigen.com/etc-accesories-2/kuel-series/sgp-portable-mobile-battery-kuel-f60q-series.html

My galaxy nexus requires a battery with NFC antenna built in or you lose the NFC functions of the phone. Im guessing S3 needs it also.

The only thing about the OEM branded batteries is that it's very hard to find cases to fit with the different battery cover.

Watch out for onite batteries. I bought two spare ones from them and they did not fit in the galaxy, much too wide. Had to send them back
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

when I bought my s3 last week they had genuine samsung batteries for sale for $39 ($AU) which is about the same in $US.
Given that it is easy to replace, and how much I will probably spend on cases and car mounts, an extended battery would have to be very good and cheap.

Im waiting for a Power Case cover(w/ Kick Stand) with 4000mAh Battery
my 3000mAh case just gives me 60% of battery life on my Galaxy Note

Indeed the 'Onite' batteries do not fit. But there are replacement batteries made by Hyperion, only 100Mhz more than standard but still a nice backup. See the Youtube video below.

knowing anker, this will probably have less juice than the oem samsung battery. This might equal to 1900ah and you lose NFC

Just ordered one, hopefully it really is 2200ah because definitely need it to last just as long as the oem. Great Price if it is. I don't think I really need nfc that much so I'm good.
But is there any good charger docks people have used that can charge the phone and the spare battery st the same time?

I bought a Hyperion and and anker...ended up returning the hyperion.... the battery was crap and lasted about half as long as the anker.... the anker is as good if not better than oem, just without NFC

I have had the Anker for almost 2 weeks now and it seems like it last a little longer than OEM battery and it doesn't get warm at all no matter how heavy you use your phone.
I'm able to get 15+ hrs easily with 2-3 1/2 hrs screen on time at least 30 mins talk time etc etc. For $8.99 not bad at all and yea in the states NFC isn't that important yet.

Android Beam and S Beam use NFC.
It's short distance (< 1 inch) always-on communication.
With these batteries you cannot tap 2 android phones to share website links and information, or tap 2 samsung phones together to share files/pictures.
And you can't use Google Wallet, which you get free $10 if you sign up for (free). Wallet works anywhere that has those MasterCard PayPass readers.

It's mAh (milliamps) not "ah." At 2200Ah, you're talking automobile batteries.
Tell you what, instead of of butt-meter claims such as " it seems like it last a little longer than OEM battery" or "They are pretty good. And when they say 2200ah, its no bs! This brand is trusted!", why don't you do a true capacity discharge test and let us know the rating.

purchased one, it's a steal at this price(if its legit) when I looked before they were $38 a piece

are you serious? thats what i meant to say! good thing you didnt correct the OP title too! Do you read reviews when you buy products or ask someone who had used the product before? Because If you dont then I would understand you not trusting them
to give you a heads up http://www.amazon.com/Anker®1900mAh...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

Anker batteries performed better than my Vibrant OEM battery, my MT4G OEM battery, my Sensation OEM battery & my GS2 OEM battery. All results based on the "butt-meter" method. The batteries may not live up to the marketing hype but were always better than what came in the original box. I have 2 GS3s in the house so I need/want NFC but will order anyway.

I have Anker for the S2. Pretty good. I should be getting my 2 pack shortly. Too bad they don't include the universal charger like they did with the S2 double pack.
Hahaha...saw the review on Amazon..."The nfc is working half the time." Hahaha... It's funny how people buy things online without reading anything.
With spare batteries...you should worry less about how you manage the battery life now...if it dies...just swap! :good:

People that haven't bought these Anker batteries and talk crap don't really know what they are talking about. I had these before for 3 of my other phones and they perform just as well as the OEM minus the NFC. Thanks for the heads up civic! You can't beat $16 for two shipped to your door

I have purchased 3 of the 2000 mah XPower batteries! They work perfectly fine!! It gives me more life than the stock 1750 mah!
Also its the exact same size as that of the stock battery... So no worries abt an extra back door!
And I got 3 of them + the wall charger for the battery for less than $10 on ebay!!
So now i have totally 4 batteries - 3x2000 + 1x1750 = 7750 mah!!
Definitely worth it rather than holding a clunky phone with an extended 3000+ mah batteries!!

Thanks, I did see that one, although it comes out to $13 including shipping.

That will give me 3 batteries total, which should be plenty of juice.

I'm not sure either, sacthegreat was the only person to respond and he/she said that these batteries did have more capacity. I think it would be very difficult to measure this anyway, since there isn't a direct measurement for mah in the phone. And because the difference in capacity is relatively small (~14%) I'm not sure how easy it is to notice in daily use; changes in how the phone is used could mask the capacity difference.
So I've made up my mind, I think that I'm going to try two different brands of batteries (+charger) and see if one is better than the other

The total comes out to $10 shipped, which is the same price as buying the two pack with charger. So hopefully this will increase the odds of getting at least one good battery

I totally missed the shipping in the link I gave, sorry as I had no intention of buying it and didnt realize shipping wasnt included. I would just get the 2 batteries as I dont think the extra 3rd battery is worth like 30% more but if you need a lot of battery, I guess you can go for it. I dont have any experience with this battery but do with Hyperions and those have worked great for me. I just keep the phone charged and make sure the spare is charged as well. If I did get a bundle with 3 batteries, I think it would be difficult to keep track of all of them and remember which one is charged and which isnt. I like the simplicity of one spare battery and the oem one

It's the stock size itself! And i got a little battery life than the stock battery on my phone! Not a big difference, but i could notice it!

I just labeled my extra 4 batteries with a marker, so that i can keep track!
But my phone gives such amazing battery backup (both oem + spare)! And even charging is super fast!
I put my dead battery to charge and after 15 min, when i switched it on, it showed 84%!!!! And it discharges also very slowly!

I've used Anker for my original Galaxy over a year and just got one for my S2. Although I have no hard stats they seem to last longer. Price is right too. 2 batteries and external charger for $20. Keep in mind, no NFC.

These are a good deal at $22 shipped for 2 of them plus a charger. Important to note that most aftermarket batteries including these are not NFC capable.

True although in my time with the s2 (I got it launch day) I've yet to use nfc Once!

Ya I got the anker 2200s came with 2 batteries and a universal charger
the universal charger can charge battery using wall or micro usb
and has a standard usb port to charge another at the same time
the batteries are exact same size as samsungs no case close issue
nfc or not you can't beat the price under 25$ shipped
been swapping them a lot worth every penny!

Oh btw... that charger is universal will work on any 3.7 v lithium ion battery... and plugs into wall socket or micro usb... and has
additonal full size usb to charge anything else at the same time...
and the indicator light goes from red to blue when finished... and doesnt keep powering battery after full it shuts off automatically
