So I've been noticing that my M7's battery drains a good bit faster than it used to. I've been thinking about opening it up and putting a new one in, but I'd like to find one that has a higher capacity than the 2300mah standard one. I have searched on amazon and googled it but I can't find anything larger than the stock charge capacity. Has anybody seen one or know where something like that can be bought from? I did find that HTC actually makes a much higher capacity(3300 mah) for the M8(2600) that fits inside the phone, so that got me hoping that something like it exists for the M7.
Battery case?

There are the battery cases on Amazon, I thought about getting one but they are not cheap.

I just ordered one off eBay it comes with a new backplate too to fit the battery. Would this be a good choice? Or did I do something really dumb?

You'll probably be pleased with the increased battery life. I was. I wasn't too concerned about the bulge in back, although I did have to cut a square hole in my Body Glove case to make it work.
i would love one of them as well , however i use the otterbox defendr series , so i dont thik it would fit this case at all.
I've been using it for a few days and I've noticed no difference at all! It shipped with 67% battery so I ignored the 12 hour initialize it advised but I've kept my phone charging for a straight 12 hours all day without using it and when I unplugged (it read 100%) it dropped to 82%! I was surprised I check my emails and go on facebook for 10 minutes over Wi-Fi I check my phone battery and its at 79%! Thats the same as it was before I've heard reviews saying theirs stayed at 100% for 2+ hours, is there anything wrong with my battery ?
I'm not sure this would be the problem but I have seen some apps around for recalibrating batteries, maybe the battery needs to be calibrated? Also you may have a bunch of programs that you are unaware of running in the backround advanced task killer should help with that.
I bought one of these batteries. Mine worked great after recalibrating the battery stats. I ended up buying one of the wall chargers with an extra regular battery. I like the sleek vs the bulky look more. I don't even use that extended battery any more.

It worked great...how did it compare to yoru standard? 16 hours vs 10; 48 vs 24?
I'm considering one for the occasion I want to have a long life, but it seems I've read of people who say they didn't make much difference. That of course may be because of not calibrating.
[edit]
Also, there are several different onces on ebay. From what I read, there are some batteries that are not what they advertise, but some things I read are that at least some of the 3500s on ebay are pretty good. Not sure which one that is.
post the link where you bought it? I'm helping a friend looking for spare battery but not sure the one on ebay are reliable.
Hey guys with so many options and reviews I am so confused on which battery to get. Currently I have the 4200 hyperion battery but honestly it is way to big for me and I miss the slim GS3 feel. So whats the best standard battery to get, should I get an regular Samsung 2100 or maybe the anker 2200? Also what is the best slim charging case out there? I found one on ebay for 16 but dont know how reliable that will be.
I'd say get the Anker 2200, slight improvement over stock while keeping the original size.
Okay cool and, whar, kind, of external, charger, case, do you recommend?

I don't really use charging cases so I wouldn't know. I use the Anker 4400 so I don't need any charging devices, personally I don't really find it adds that much bulk with extended batteries.
I just bought a cheap 2300mha replacement battery + an external charger on Ebay. Total costs were like 6 Euros. I will test them and provide you with details once they get to me
or you can wait for the 3000mah samsung battery coming up next month
It will stay slim

I saw some pictures of the 3000 battery on one site but showing that Samsung has not released it yet I don't know if I should use that as guide material. However, the picture shows that the battery is ever so slightly thicker. Your phone may work on a soft case but a hard case, not so much. But eh, we will see once it comes out. COME ON SAMSUNG LETS GET IT OUT HERE!
I have found out from Samsung website themselves that the new 3000 battery will come with an extended cover so it will increase in size for sure. So any other choices for slim battery if not i think i might go with the anker 2200 over the OEM!
ive got an 2400 motec battery and im pleased with it
its slightly bigger than the stock battery but fits the stock cover aswell

Sadly, I've found out nowhere on the USA eBay
Ran a quick search and didn't turn up much. Does anyone have advice or know where to get a solid deal on a portable charger? I've got to spend a lot of time in the airport/on planes in the next few months so something like this would be ideal. I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BJCHH36/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks pretty solid for a decent price. Anything better out there?

I'd just be nervous about the brand. Never heard of it, and it does matter as far as how long the battery is going to last, both in terms of time before the thing doesn't take a charge/only holds a small fraction of what it used to, as well as how much of the rated capacity you are really getting. This one is name brand, and would be worth the extra 20 bucks, and has some extra capacity as well. It also charges off of micro USB, though they one you linked may as well, I just didn't see it on the main page.

I've had their batteries before, and they tend to be pretty good. Much better than some of the no name stuff you can get. Plus, you can charge a third device.

I'm going with this one. They also have a 7000mah model.
I went with this one simply because I liked the style and it was small.
There is a bigger one too. Not the cheapest but has held up well for
over a year now. All of these are essentially a big battery so you
probably can't go wrong with any one that has good reviews.

Amazon has the best deals
I would stick with Jackery
I like Jackery batteries. They work just as well as any other portable battery out there, but they have the added bonus of just looking nice (all models come in orange, some also come in silver and black). Some of the larger capacity models also had an onboard LED flashlight function. The flashlight function isn't great (it's about as bright as a keychain flashlight), but it makes sense to add a flashlight function to something that is already a battery.
I have this one: http://amzn.com/B00AANMVNQ
It has a 5600mAh capacity (the One's battery is 2300mAh). It only has a single port, but the port can put out 2A if you need to charge larger devices.
check out Anker for portable batteries. I have the 10000 mah model and it is great. has two ports for android or iphone. can charge both at same time. it was only 39.99 http://www.amazon.com/10000mAh-Smar...ers-Lightning/dp/B009USAJCC/ref=pd_sim_cps_49
I am currently using this one
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Unive...id=1385714580&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+9000mah
(Samsung 9000mah portable battery pack)
it charges my HTC One thrice and i am quite satisfied with the product!
Tenergy 2600 was on sale at frys for $10 on black Friday. Picked up one blue and one black. Blue looks cool in that it's similar in color to my one

I've been looking for a new battery for my phone, I would prefer one without the need of a new back cover if anyone knows a good battery please tell me.
I have looked at these two batteries on amazon, but there doesn't seem to be much about then else where. Is it worth the buy?

EDIT:
After further reading I find that most slim batteries are a scam. Are there any lower $30s extended batteries with TPU case?
As you found out slim batterys are a scam you want more capacity you have to get a bigger fatter battery its the trade off and you could get a cheap battery but recommend getting one already tested check other threads there are a few

On the other hand, if you buy a "slim battery" (preferably the original LG one), and the one that came with your phone still works, you end up with (almost) double the capacity because you can switch them out when one runs out of charge. This way you don't make your phone twice as ugly and 3 times as thick.
Go with the TrendOn batteries. You get two batteries plus a wall charger at a very reasonable price. I've had them for awhile now and they work as good as the stock battery, if not better. I get the same expected life and they appear to run cooler as well.
I can't post links yet so just search for it on Google. I was hoping for an opinion on this as it looks pretty cool. It is a case that you are able to attach an array of external batteries that also hold sdcards. So it seems you can lots of extra battery life and extra storage by simply attaching it to the case. If no one has tried it yet by the time my phone arrived I will take the plunge and let the forum know how it is
I've been thinking about it but haven't pulled the trigger as I'm hoping Mophie will actually put one out but I may grab this. Not sure yet.
I was looking at it but it seems sketchy with no power output and I can't find any reviews about the charging speed or overall quality. The App seems like a battery drainer
Does anybody have any new info on this? Can you use the case without the app? Does it actually suck a lot of battery?
