I'm looking for an extended life battery and would prefer if it fits in my S III without a custom back cover.
Does anyone know the largest mAh battery that will fit with the standard case?

Oh, that's not much of a higher capacity. Also, it's not available on Amazon UK.

Has anyone tried the 3200mah extended slim battery by sporting persistance? If so how does it perform?
I been using it for about a week. I think it's the perfect size to get a mid level user through the day. I still have to charge it at the end of the day, but on days that I don't really use my phone I think that it would make it a day and a half(I always charge my phone at night so I'm not sure).
Just to let you know ,I always have GPS on, when outside I usuall have my screen at full brightness, and I am currently using a Live wallpaper.
I'm am running Juice Defender for when the screen is off.
I do more surfing, checking emails, reading news and forum posts, than I do calling and texting. I also play some games from time to time.
I'm happy with the battery's performance so far. I only thing I worry about is the longevity of keeping charge over time. I've never heard of the brand before and it seems to be the only battery of this capacity while keeping the stock dimensions.

Does your NFC still work with the sporting battery?
I don't use NFC anymore, but I did test it, and it does work. The only reason I got the NFC version is because it had a larger mah than the non-NFC model.
Anyone else use the sporting battery with good results?

Honestly I doubt a random ebay battery is really 3200 mAh. Especially at stock size. That being said, it seems to be at least stock capacity, has working NFC, and hopefully at least decent quality control (unlike those Samsung "OEM" batteries on Amazon which are seriously hit or miss)

I'm guessing about 3 hours extra, depending on my usage. Not a lot, but enough so that I can make it through the day.

Is almost always a miss, we havn't seen advancements in batteries (lithium ion) in years so naturally size directly affect capacity.
That being said you can't have a larger capacity battery that is the same sized as OEM. And because these are most likely from unnamed brands, it's probably even worse than stock.

Hello guys, I would like to tell you my opinion about a battery that I had the chance to try. I'm talking about a battery produced by Mugen for Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with a capacity of 4000 mAh (more than double of normal rate).
Usually I'm used to use the smartphone with many apps in the background (WhatsApp, Dropbox, Beautiful widget and many other) and i often run games, especially in down time of the day. Im also linked to a carrier that has only 3G. Before attempting the battery I used to utilize three batteries so i can change eachother when the current one is downloaded.
With the Mugen's 4000 mAh battery i have found no problems to arrive safely at the end of the day, even when I spend hours playing.
In addition, the cover included in the package greatly improves the grip (im serius!).
I've tried it for 5-6 days but if you want to get more details, statistics and screenshots you can view this video review (in Italian)
You can buy it from www.mugen-power-batteries.com
Does this battery maintain NFC ability? I've seen some extended batteries that don't and some that do.
Thanks.

bah...i just did the same thing, though i still dont have either the battery or the phone yet. i'll report back when i get both.
I have used the Seidio extended batteries since my Dinc days and I love them. The 3800 monster for gnex does have nfc and it'll last for days with my SlimICS rom.highly recommended. The casing leaves a lot to be desired but its totally worth it for me for battery life.

The Mugen Power 4000 Mah supports NFC. A larger backcover is included.
The back cover has a kick-stand, this is great for watching video's.
The only disadvantage with the new backcover is that you cannot change backcovers too often. This is due to the vurnable "holding pins"
I have my 4000 Mah for about a month now, and it is awesome! The battery lasts 2,5 day's with heavy usage. Now I just have to find a way to cut out the back of my cardock in a proper way to fit the larger backcover.
Sorry for late reply! The battery is NFC compatible, i've tested it with another phone and it works!
It can totally replace the original battery
Exactly as the title suggests I'm looking for everyone's opinion on the best stock size battery for the Note. I've been using the Mugen battery but at times the bulk seems too much and I'm interested in trying something stock size that gets me at least a little better than stock battery performance.
Thoughts, opinions, experiences?

it is too expensive? any cheap battery for extend battery life of galaxy Note
I use the "golden battery", the sticker on it says 3250 mAh.. and that power stays at the sticker. It is roughly as good or just a tiny bit better than stock battery.
I get 3 hours 10 minutes maybe 20 minutes less or more each day of screen time on weekdays with stock battery. Let's use this as a standard for me.
With gold battery I get 3 hours and 40 minutes with a variation of 30 minutes more or less.
So it doesn't last 30% more as the sticker suggests.. but meh it lasts as much or a little bit more so I am not bothered with a 15 doller battery I can carry in my wallet as a backup

Do explain why it should be crap? Isn't it known that with most products you pay partially for the "brand name"
Anker cost 20$ for pair of battery's and a charger or 10$ for single battery... Not that expensive but you have most XDA behind it saying it's a good company

I got a 2700mAh Anker off Amazon that BMW Pro is now estimating to be 2983mAh
Maybe I'm using BMW Pro wrong...
Also, it seems to handle charge/discharge better, it doesn't get as hot as stock under load.

I was thinking about it, and it seems plausible that the best stock sized battery for this phone at this moment would be a 2700mah one. If you look at it, the Mugen 5400mah extended battery is just 2, 2700mah batteries linked together.
Until a revolution in batteries is made, I don't think we'll get a stock sized one with a better mileage .
different capacity with stock size battery
It's mean the concentration become higher...
just wondering.
you know the anker charger that comes with the bundle if you buy 2 anker 2700 batteries?
does it charge the stock battery as well?
im assuming it does cuz the batteries are the same size (right?)
just wanting to make sure.
cheers.
I know there are the mega sized batteries that add extra bulk. Looking for extended batteries that are the same size as stock and with NFC.

Thanks! Pretty pricey for a 200mah increase but it's good to know we have options. I'll probably wait for a price drop though.

only 100mah more but they are decent batteries i had some for my gs2 but no NFC. Good if your going on a trip or something and need that extra battery, I didn't trust as long term though. I had gotten a 2 pack with a universal charger for like $20 for my gs2

Yea, I had an Anker battery for my EVO 3D and they're solid. Definitely want one with NFC though.
i am in the same boat but don't want to walk around with a brick with those 4000mah batteries. to me that defeats the purpose of this ultra thin phone. i keep an extra battery in car in case i need it.
i don't think you will find a decent capacity (say 2800-3000mah) battery without requiring a bulky extended back cover.. those that advertise this type of capacity are probably liars. i said it before, but if it were possible samsung would of increase capacity while keeping the same size.
sure you can get a 2200-2300mah battery that is the same size but it's pointless because the added time will only be like an additional 10-20 minutes compare to stock (that is of course if you even get the advertised capacity)..
battery technology needs improvement.. everyone is making better and better phones but battery technology is lacking and no on is investing money to improve them

Yep using this at the moment - NFC reception seems better on it - recognises a tag from a greater distance. Also, feels like it actually is providing 2300mAh

Originally bought it as a backup, but it consistently lasts longer then the OEM battery so now that's become my backup.

I read that those QCell batteries are fake. Supposedly if you peel back the sticker, they're really 2100mah.
Damn it. I wish I didn't listen and question this. The QCell I got does not have a label beneath their sticker or indication that it is 2100mah, but when peeling it back I tore the connector to the nfc. :'(

meh, it's not your fault. I should've been more carefully pulling the label back when I got to the front where the nfc was.
Has anyone found any 3000mah or so batteries? Quality ones I mean. I wouldn't mind something larger than the 2100 but anything over 4000 just ruins the look of this phone. I don't even require NFC. Just something that gives close to the stated capacity. If Mugen, Seidio, Anker, or Hyperion made something in this range I'd jump on it immediately.
You see, I like modding OB Defender cases to work with extended batteries and I just don't see any way a 4000+ battery will work with the OB Defender for our phones.

It fits :highfive:
How has the performance been? Reason I ask is many of the cheaper "replacement" batteries usually crap out either in a month of so, or stop charging to 100% all together. Also, why the heck is it so hard to find a OEM Samsung battery (EB-L1F2HVU in US or HVK in Korea) for this phone. I can easily find the shorter battery for the Verizon phone (SCH-I515), but almost nothing (unless you want to pay over $60) for the GT-I9250M phone.
Unless you can read Korean and order the OEM larger 2000 mAh battery (EB-L1F2KVK) directly the majority of us are out of luck.
Where's a good place to buy original Samsung one for cheap?
I found an 2450 mah battery which claimed to fit with the stock battery cover. But I read that its actually worse than stock battery and if you remove the seal around the battery it actually shows a lower mah.. That were reviews for the s2 version but I think it applies to that one too . Ive seen several 2300 mah batterys that claimed the same but assumed it was the same story..
