I have several of the generic cheap ones from eBay, think they where $5 when I bought them, have a USB port on them too for use with the USB charge cable if you wanted to.charge the phone too. I've been using them for.over a year.now, no problems. The first one I got came with a battery. After.buying more batteries I bought a couple more so I could charge more batteries at once.

Some of you know, my charging port is done (salt water).
Phone works fine though...
How can I pop the battery out and charge it? Know of a dock or equivalent?
OEM spare battery comes with a charging dock.

Or get a wall battery charger from ebay
When Tmobile had the 50% off going, I got a spare battery and charger for 25 bucks for my GF. She don't charge the phone anymore, just swap batteries. I got it from a Tmobile brick and mortar store.
For 5 quids..

For 5 more you can get 2 extra batteries too. Batteries might say 1500mah but most probably they'll be 900 or something but still..

Actually got 2 spares and a charger for only a penny and 9.99 shipping on eBay. Batteries last just as long as OEM. I'm sure for a few bucks more you can find a good deal and get them a lot quicker than I did, 3 weeks from Hong Kong.

what do you think about portable USB charger?
does Sony CPA2LS charge XS twice?
There are smaller ones, I've seen a nice tubular one, but I don't remember where
I have the Sanyo USB eneloop stick booster. I leave it in my car or backpack and since I can keep rechargeable batter with me or find AA really easily.. its convenient

I have CP-ELS and it can charge abit more than once (about 1.15 ~ 1.2) . So I think CPA2LS would charge XS twice. The charger charged the ph pretty fast in stand by mode but it slow while in using the ph. The recharging time is long cos my one only come with 1 usb cable to charge from computer.
I just bought a NewTrent one from Amazon that is 5000mAh which should, in theory, charge the XS about 2.5x
I'm going camping in a couple of weeks so I'll have a chance to really try it then. Was pretty cheap though - £22
I've had my zagg sparq Iver a year now. Had an apple battery pack which got wet unfortunately, did the job but wasn't impressed with it. Since I've had my zagg ive managed 4 full charges from it.
Not the cheapest but it do believe in you get what you pay for

Liked the look of them for a while, but thought it was US pins only, but seems they have an EU(hoping that means UK adapter). Is yours version one or version 2?

Sony CPA2LS charges very slow. 0,5A is like USB ;(
good thing it has two slots so you can charge two devices simultaneously...
do you know any portable charger with 1A or 1,5A output?
In about two hours of charging I went from 8% to 41%. Is anyone else experienceing this issue? I'm using all the cords and plugs given to me for the wall.
I don't have the SGS3 (yet), but my guess is that the battery is so large it takes longer to charge. Keep in mind that it's a 2100MaH battery. Depending on the power that the charger puts out, it could take longer to charge this battery than another phone.
Mine charges fairly quick with stock items.

Mine went from 2% to Full 100% in a little over 2 hours on the stock Samsung charger.. I'm going to cycle mine 3 or 4 times being that it's new obviously.

So would you agree something is wrong with my phone?
I agree, the first few cycles might not be too accurate. If you want a faster charger get the HP Touchpad charger, it has 2 amps where as the Samsung one is .75 amps of charging. only $5 on hp website. that's what I use.

Monoprice sells a 2.1 amp 4 usb wall charger as well but it is not as cheap nor do they have free shipping *although atleast in CA I can get a flat rate of 25lbs and under for ~$5 shipping.*
I'm surprised no one has posted the correct answer to this yet. The wall charger Samsung has decided to include with the S3 NA is complete and utter crap. I believe it is .15amp draw. You need to immediately throw it in the trash and buy a new one. It is not a problem with your phone.

Thanks, i just ordered one up with a couple 10ft cables!
One of my HTC blocks and/or extension cables seems to have bit the dust recently.

I just read somewhere else that it is the USB cable causing the problems. So I will try that and let you guys know.

while I like Monoprice, the HP OEM charger is better in my opinion. its solid built and portable too.
I use the Blackberry Premium charger works well with my S3 and is only like $15 or so on Amazon.
Before I rooted and calibrated the battery. My phone took 3hrs 20min to fully charge on stock 1A charger.

My charges pretty quick too. Even in my

My Samsung Charger that came with the phone is 1Amp...charges the device fine. I don't think the 2Amps will make a difference if the charging chip doesn't support it (not saying it doesn't but the SGSII would only charge at 650maH no matter what charger you put it on)
Mine's charging insanely fast with the stock cable. Not sure if it's a good thing because battery life isn't all that amazing on my phone so far.

No problem, I bought a 100foot cat 6 ethernet from them for $12. They are really cheap while always having top notch quality on cords and some other stuff.

doesn't that mean each USB port is 0.5 amps?
Anyways if I'm not wrong the amps has to do with what it can supply. Whether the device tries to draw that much power is up to the device.
The stock charger is 5V 1amp.
Even if you use a 2 amp charger it will likely only draw one amp.
Even if it does draw 2 amps that would mean you are increasing the heat associated with more current. Heat is the worst thing for battery life. Its always better to do slow charge unless you're in a hurry. Your battery will last a lot longer that way. Having said that, I think 1 amp is a good compromise for speed and heat.
p.s. computers output 0.5amps per USB slot by default specifications.

Bought the same pack from a different seller a couple months ago. I think I paid about $10. Regardless price can't be beat.
Pros:
Pretty good life, roughly 75% of OEM.
Cons:
Charger has since crapped out, one of the pins broke off inside.
Batteries wouldn't charge in phone, gave message "battery disconnected" on screen
One of batteries died on, wouldn't charge.
Overall a good deal so long as your charger doesn't crap out like mine did. I've had this same charger come with almost every cheap battery pack ive bought for different phones. It's the exact some one except the size of the battery slot changes for each battery. This is the first one i've had crap out so i'd say its a fluke.

I have this charger and Anker batteries.No problems so far. http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Upgrade-2700mAh-SGH-I717-GT-N7000/dp/B006BHQWX0/ref=pd_sim_cps_1
I've had so many chargers like these, you need to make sure you slide the battery in gently so that the pins for charging won't break, it's a pain but it will make it last forever

How much did you pay for yours, $30?
I have this one as well.
I have the same pack and I purchase from the same listing at Amazon. It allows me the added assurance of battery power.
CONS:
The batteries wear down faster than the OEM battery that comes with the phone
Something else to carry so you need to have them in your pocket or a traveling container of some sort to carry them with you.
PROS:
Fast swap with a fresh full charged battery.
I love the charger has an USB port where you can plug your micro usb cable in and change the battery in the phone at the same time that you charge one in the dock.
It was worth the buy for me. I'm always looking for more ways to accent my device experience.

Wow very nice deal.... ima have to get me a kit for emergencies...
Hi there,
My S3 has a problem with the motherboard where something between the charging port and battery is broken and the phone cannot charge via cord. I have been forced to take the battery out every night and charge it on a battery charger. After recent googles I have seen wireless chargers are available for the S3 but I'm not quite sure how they work. I know the receiver is connected to he battery, but I need to know if this method charges through whatever is broken in the motherboard or if it charges directly to the battery?
If someone with good knowledge or experience of this could answer that'd be awesome!
The charger is a QI branded one on eBay.
Thanks in advance!
