Hey fellas,
Ive been lucky enough for Anker to send me a 4400mah battery to test and review for you guys. I've used their batteries ever since the Sensation days and I actually have a 2200mah anker for a spare on the S3. They sent me a Pebble Blue back cover as they do not produce the white one yet. I have a two toned S3 hahah. I just wanted to post pics to give you guys an idea. I will be draing the battery today as it came with 57% out of the box. I will give it its first run tomorrow during my work day. Here are the pics, I will be posting 1st run results tomorrow then for the next few days after that. These batteries usually get better after a few cycles. The phone feels good in the hand, not too big. I just ordered one of those TPU extended battery cases to protect the phone while I am using the Extended Anker. Stay tune for some numbers and updates! Thanks!
Im supposed to get one too for reviewing. But you beat me to it

Forgot to add that it does not say NFC anywhere on the battery. I did go into settings and the NFC box still could be checked. I don't know if this battery has it as I do not use NFC. I'll contact Anker to make sure.

No NFC, jonathan confirmed it. Though i made some recommendations to them to have an option for it with a different price point. hopefully they hear me. Price for this one is about $19.99, i think that's pretty good with that price

8-15: Battery made it through the night. I did not turn WiFi at all on this first day of testing. I will do a second test on the second full charge tomorrow. So far I am impressed! 5 hours of screen time! Hawt Damn
Do you know how much thicker this makes the phone ? I am wondering what kind of case would fit this and also if it would still fit in a car holder.
Just double the size of the battery. Look at the pic I posted of the side view. I actually ordered a TPU case for extended batteries, should get here in a couple days. I'll post when I receive it.

Hello. Any updates on this bat? How it's going on so far? Regards.
I have had this battery for few days.
Medium use - online quite a lot, bluetooth always on, brightness on high auto. Same usage on my old S2 with 2100mAh would have critical warning by about 6pm on day 1.

Not quite... the Korean market S3 (SHV-E210) uses a different battery than the international / US version. Also the Korean market Samsung Flip Cover will not fit properly on the international / US version. The curvature or thickness of the units are ever so slightly different, so the back plate will not click securely into place on the international / US handset.
But if you don't include the Korean S3 model, then I believe you'd basically be correct.
It probably doesn't affect most people on this forum, but it's a significant exception to the rule that should be noted.

Hello there, Captivate people! Visitor from the Vibrant forums here. We found and tested an 1800mah battery that, while intended for the Epic Touch 4G, fits and works perfectly in the Galaxy S and all it's variants. I've personally tested it in a Samsung Fascinate and a Samsung Vibrant. The Fascinate was a tighter fit than the Vibrant, but the battery door closed just fine.
I've personally tested the battery over the past week and it lasts significantly longer than the default 1500mah battery (I'm a relatively new Vibrant user, so my battery is only a couple months old). The math seems to match up with the 1800mah claim. To be clear, this isn't as surprising as it would be if this were a random Chinese ebay battery. This battery is made by Samsung for the Epic Touch 4G. It's noticeably thicker than the stock Galaxy S battery, but not so thick that the battery door on the Vibrant and Fascinate won't close completely.
The battery can be found here:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28506
I spent quite a bit of time trying to find the best 3rd party battery for my phone, and lo and behold, the best one comes from Samsung itself.
If you'd like to read more than just my humble opinion, here is a link to the thread started in the Vibrant forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262035
Hope this information is helpful. Enjoy your Galaxy S!
has anyone tested to see if this fits in a captivate phone?
Great question. Anyone have any contacts at AT&T/Sprint/Verizon to see if we can do a test fit?
I love CM7 but it drains the battery fast. 1850 capacity would be great and a nice boost.

I think everyone bought these on Sunday. It will be Friday or Monday before you see a report.
Just received the battery from mobilecity. I was leaving my home as I saw the package, so no photos or long term report. Initial impressions though:
Most importantly, the phone works. I'm typing this on it. The battery came with a 45% charge, so normal.
The battery is a little thicker than the original, and a little heavier. The back cover is slightly tight fitting.
Will try charging in a little.

Thanks man, my captivate came with no battery, and now I know, from which seller I can buy a good replacement.
Thanks for the pictures. Let us know how this performs over the next few days.

Just knowing that it fits works and charges I'll be ordering one right now.
Purchased it with 2 day shipping for $10 extra. lol
Just got mine! It fits!
Here is the battery in the phone, plus attempts to show how little the battery size affects the back cover:
Basically, it's barely noticeable and is ever so slight. It just makes the latch a little bit harder to close, that's all.
Charging to 100% right now, will report on stats after it drains overnight and tomorrow.
really looking forward to your first results I hope you got your old results in mind and can calculate the % your battery life has increased;-)
Went to the corproate Verizon store in my area and got a 2750mAh battery for 26.50 after tax. He said all the Verizon stores were having a half off sale on 4g batteries.
Just to confirm, this is the indeed the case. I visited one in the Dallas, TX area and it was half off, apparently this is for ALL 4G devices... and in store only.
I received my VZN T'Bolt last week and it came with both a standard and extended battery in the package, but I didn't order two batteries. Anyone else get two? Anyway, the extended battery seems to last about 2X as long as the standard, which you might expect by its rating, but the extra weight and size will force me to use the standard battery most of the time, as I typically plug into the computer every few hours.
They have been half off for a good while now. I bought mine a few weeks back when they first went on sale.
are they still half off? and how much heavier is the phone? i flash roms and switch it up all the time, and i realized after using sense 3.0 for so long on my thunderbolt... i just want it next to plain jane functionality, just less battery drainage. seems to be the case now, killasense 3.2 is great!
i always wanted the extended battery, but i g2 do some research on a good case that'll fit it. any recommendations?

If you're looking online, you need to add it to your cart and then it will show up as half off in the cart. I'm not sure though if the sale is still going on.

So I decided to purchase an extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus since the original (1750 mAH) battery didn't really live up to my expectations. The original battery gave decent battery life and kept the thickness of the phone to a minimum.
After receiving the battery from ebay member: mulkin, I had inspected the battery and confirmed that it was indeed the "official" extended battery for the GSM model.
I wasn't expecting the battery to come in a couple days since it was coming from South Korea, but it did take less than a week to get here to South California. Packaging was very nice and kept the battery and back cover well protected.

The extended battery cover that was included with the extended battery still has the same texture as the original. The phone also feels better with the new battery cover. The slight thickness it adds still maintains the phones low profile. The only thing it loses is the slight curve of the original battery cover right above the rear speaker. NFC works perfectly and isn't affected at all, it also works well if your using the stock battery with the extended back cover.
Overall, I am happy with the product. Battery life has definitely improved over the couple days I was using it. I am going to attach screenshots of the battery life I am getting, as well as pictures of the extended battery on the phone soon. If you have any questions, just leave a comment.
Thanks.
Thank you for the review with pictures. I have the battery as well, there is a existing thread in regards to this topic to anyone who wants additional information about this battery before making a purchase.
I personally purchased mines from shimshop.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...Accessories&hash=item1c222d0cea#ht_4976wt_905
Also genuine, ~$36 ships from South Korea.. takes about 1.5 weeks. Negri also sells this battery as well but it's ~$50.

Thanks for posting this. I was also surprised how quickly this was shipped in from South Korea (to Montreal, CA).
Also, FWIW, my Otterbox Commuter and SGP Ultra Capsules fit perfectly with the new battery door and larger battery.
And to throw this out there, you can easily get through 24 hours of casual to moderate usage on this thing... And for heavy days, I reach 4 hours of screen on time with ~25-30% remaining (@12 hours unplugged).
Now to find a white extended battery door.

Depends on your own preference, but the aesthetics of it pleases me greatly.

Only 4 hours on screen time? I average over 5 on mobile data with mine, pre 404. I need to do a rundown test to see how much now, probably closer to 6 hours. I do have auto brightness on though. The mah difference isn't huge, but I'll take all I can get and if it even gives a half hour more screen time then its worth it. Feels better in the hand too.

Could you take a picture of the "inside" of the battery cover please? Would be much appreciated... I'm still thinking about buying one for my phone.
I've done some research and it looks like the extra 250 mah will give you about a 14% boost in battery life. So, imagine as if you start out with ~114% battery life, as oppose to ~100%.
Hm... still undecided if that's worth the extra $36 and slight thickness added to the phone...

Just thought I'd throw this out there. They now have NFC and claim an extra 200mah.
I ordered mine from Amazon.com and even though the description still doesn't list NFC or 4200mah, I got a pleasant surprise today.
I checked on ebay to see if it was a fluke and indeed they are all 4200mah and with NFC now.
If anyone is wondering, I'm only a few hours into charging it (they say charge for 12hrs the first time) and I don't have any NFC tags so I can't provide any test results at this time.
Brief summary for those new to the thread: I am able to get double the battery life of the stock battery. While this might be expected since it is 4200mah vs 2100mah, not all batteries live up to their claims. This one does.
The NFC on my first battery did not work well. It was there and did function, but was almost useless. My replacement battery, however, is amazing. It picks up NFC tags quicker than I imagined.
I'm very happy with my purchase. I can use the phone all day without having to worry about plugging in.

Yeah I saw those but I haven't decided if I want to get one yet.
BTW I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet but the phone weighs 175g (6.2oz) with the extended battery & door. With the factory battery & door it weighs 133g (4.7oz). Both figures are without a case.
I ordered mine from Amazon 3 days ago, I hope I get the new version too. That would be nice to have.

Not yet but I'm hoping Seidio comes out with one for their soon to be released extended battery, (actually Seidio does have a "surface case" coming out but they typically only protect the side and back kind of like a glorified battery cover) Maybe they will produce an "Active" or "Convert" extended case which is for heavy duty protection. I'll post more when I get more info.
I got the Hyperion battery off amazon and it does show 4200mAh. I tested the nfc and it does work.

Thanks for the find and reviews. So how does the phone feel with the added bulk? Just ordered today off amazon as well as the black honeycomb tpu extended case. Hoping that it comes 4200 w/ NFC as it only stated 4000. I'll post back with another review. I figure the more reviews the more we can get a general feel for consistency of quality.
My first charge fully depleted a little while ago. It lasted from ~10AM Saturday to ~6PM Sunday (about 32 hours). Unfortunately I flashed an updated ROM in there which reset the battery stats so any screen shots would be meaningless.
I'm very happy with that time though for how much I used my phone. As long as team synergy doesn't release an update in the next couple days I'll be able to provide a screenshot next time
I've got some NFC tags coming soon so I can't wait to use those
I need one :cyclops:

Still going. Here is an update and I will post some photos of the battery and case asap.
from my AOKP galaxy s3
Does anybody know if the pebble blue package comes with the new battery?
-edit-
I decided to just go a head and order it. For 20 bucks I can take the gamble and just buy it another if this one doesn't have NFC.
Herrvare some photos if the battery and you case.

So I see a corner seems to exposed. Is there any particular reason you can see why? Maybe ease of installation?
Is this really safe to use?

I saw a few people were looking for a battery case for the One with one individual questioning mophie as to when theirs would be released. Apparently all they said was it'll get here when it gets here.
Well, I was going to post a link, but since I'm a nub I have to wait until 10+ posts. The case is on Best Buy's website with the SKU of 8577046. Doesn't appear to add TOO much bulk, and adds 2,500 mAh.

I'd be more inclined to get a power pack rather than a battery case.
Battery cases ruin the looks of phones and power packs are usable on other devices, too.
Lol at the caption below the photo on the Best Buy product page.

Are battery cases usually that expensive? The ONLY thing preventing me from buying the HTC One is the damned lack of extended battery. If a battery case was $50 or less, I'd totally drop the money on the One right now. But at $100, I might as well just get the S4 and an extended battery for $18.

So you'd buy a TOTALLY DIFFERENT phone because of the battery? The S4 with extended battery is still an S4, TouchWiz and all. The extended battery doesn't change the dynamic.
It would be nice if the Mophie was available now.

The S4 and One are mainly "TOTALLY DIFFERENT" superficially. For me, my main concern is performance based on the hardware. The internal hardware is nearly identical with the only differences being:
-S4 is overclocked (can be done to the One and get same benchmarks)
-Cameras (they're both fine for me; I don't take many pics/videos)
-Screens (AMOLED vs. SUPER LCD, both are fine for me)
-Software (I don't care what either one comes with. I'm putting an AOSP build on it ASAP)
The two things keeping me on the One side is the build quality and the awesome front speakers. I never use cases on my phones since I don't like the bulkiness and after getting an extended battery on my S2, I can't imagine going out without it anymore and that's what's holding me back.
The phone I'd love to have is the Xperia Z but it's got an older CPU and I doubt anyone is going to make a battery case for that one due to its design.
I'd make an exception on cases for the One if it had a battery but $100 is way over my consideration.

Looks like they are finally taking orders on Mophie's site for the battery case. It does say "ships Mid May" though.
Also under the price it says:
Coupons void for this product due to limited supply.
