I kno wand understand that a million threads on batteries already exist, however I wanted to be as specific as possible and see what you all can recommend.
I'm looking for a batter that's between 2000-2300mah and that will work with the standard charger/USB cable, and not cause my phone to go into SOD or boot loops, and that has NFC capabilities just as the stock standard battery does
Also I'd like this battery to be ~$50 or less
and above all it's be very nice if it fits into the phone without any modifications and or having to replace the back cover with another one.
I'm sure such a battery has to exist, just haven't seen it yet.
Please help me on my quest.
Thanks!
I've been looking for the same thing. Only difference is I couldn't care less about it having an NFC chip or not.
Thank you.
Only one i can think of would be the Korean official extended. But like the thread says the back has to be modded
I will let you know if the battery I bought on ebay works. I asked the seller for specifications. I will let you know.

last night I did changed some settings on my phone, like not using network for location,no automatic sync, Juice defender Ultimate settings,Voltage Control Mv settings done. I freeze Gmail with titanyum backup pro. Do not remember if did anything else but today I have used 17h7m43s on battery and still has 64%. Huge increment of battery life detected!
i will keep this settings backed up with tytanium backup just incase.

Those settings seem a little too aggressive for my taste. I use gmail quite a bit and I also like that the network finds my location rather than the GPS. I'm hardly ever on wi-fi and I have automatic sync going every 3hrs I think.
My phone lasts about 16-20hrs on average. and I'm ok with that, just would like better results as I'm seeing some pull about 2days of life out of their devices.

Anyone know if the I9100 battery will fit the I777? I see a lot of sellers listing the battery working for both the AT&T I777 and the International I9100.

I got the 2000 mah anker battery off eBay works great! !!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
The dimensions for the i777 Samsung battery are 59x46x5 mm. I searched and couldn't find dimensions anywhere for the i9100 oem battery. Anyone with i9100 mind measuring the battery dimensions? I hate to order a bunch of stuff only to find it doesn't fit. I don't 100% trust the descriptions on most of the ebay stuff.
Do the I9100 batteries have 3 or 4 contacts? If only 3, they probably won't work, or might damage the additional spring clip in the phone for the 4th contact. (which, if the I9100 batteries only have 3 contacts, means the 4th is for NFC.)
Let me help you guys out here. I ordered 3 international gs2 batteries 2 months ago in preparation for this phone and they work just fine in the att version. the dimensions are exactly the same and everything has been just peachy.

does it give you more power? or it's just labeling? also, will the stock back cover still fit?
I don't see 2000mah on ebay, just 1900mah for anker battery.
Thanks guys, I think I will go ahead and order some i9100 batteries then. There are a lot more options available than for the i777 stuff right now.
Note that anything that includes an alternative battery door won't work. The battery doors ARE different.
Yeah I assumed that and wasn't going to go with an extended battery but do plan on getting a dock which should be similar enough to work well.

thanks for the reply. so from your experience, if you unplug it around 8am and then wait until 8pm at night, do you know how much battery you have left? (normal usage)

It MAY or MAY NOT fit, but I can tell you that the NFC antenna in the SGH-I777 (ATT GalaxyS 2) is embedded into the battery. So even if the battery contacts do match, at the very least you'll lose the ability to do NFC. And further, if Samsung messed with the voltages or signalling on the pins (which they might have done in order to get the NFC antenna hooked into the mainboard), you could potentially fry your phone. Instantly, or maybe even over time...
Until further work is done to figure out exactly what goes on what pin, and how it compares to the i9100, I wouldn't use an i9100 battery if I were you...
I got this battery with a dock charger and it works fine but when I plug it in to anything (computer/usb or power/usb) it freezes the phone and makes it cycle the battery charging/phone off symbol while the battery(?) makes a very quiet clicky sound. Not good. So I started charging it on the dock (came with a spare battery charging slot) and carrying it as an extra. It works fine, just don't charge your precious AT&T Galaxy S2 with it.
I did the shot at this angle so you could see the contacts, I saw some mention of it. My bad on the upside-down hah.

Ah, good to know that's been established.
The people who actually bought a bigger battery off ebay, could you please post who the seller was? I see a few batteries for sale but I have been screwed before so that would be awesome if you could post who the seller was that you bought from. I'd love to have two extra batteries on hand. Thanks in advance.
FYI I got two Anker (1900mAh) off Amazon yesterday. It fits and works but a few times today the battery icon shows a ? and the settings show -1%. After about a minute the correct % comes back, not sure if it's the batteries or just this one. I'll try the second one tomorrow.
Really interested to get an opinion on battery life with the Anker batteries.
I am probably going to end up using them as backups, both of them take time before the % of power left will display. I never got the full 5 discharge/recharge done on one of them, but even without that it was lasting longer then the stock, as it should. I see someone else ordered some too, I'll be interested to see if those have the display issue.

Can you give any indication of how much more than stock you would say they last? Is it the near 20% as it should be?
I also get the question mark on the battery, It seems to be when the phone wakes up or when I plug it in it takes a few seconds to find the juice amount then it will start charging..
The battery is lightly taller then stock but it fits perfectly inside of the phone case. Tobad about the battery meter. Im going to run it for the day see if the ? will stop.
I would advise not to buy yet.
i too have the "?" on grey market batteries
i have bought several grey market batteries and get the question mark also, i've noticed these batteries are 3.7v and the oem battery is 3.8, i wonder if that is the culprit? I am hoping these hong kong manufacturers will get it right soon, i did find an oem battery for about $23 after shipping and am contemplating buying it, and yes my chargers don't fully charge my oem battery either, its always at 91 or 93%

Seriously; I have 2 "High-Capacity Gold Batteries", 1930 mAh, for my Titan.
When plugged in they show either 255% or -1% charge, never go back to normal.
When unplugged, they never show 100% charge, maximum of about 94%.
They seem to last about the same as the stock battery...
Hi, you have to full restore your HTC Titan (Backup recommended) if you get a new battery pack! I guess it indicates what the specs are in the battery. I know this because I bought a new battery pack and I had this problem! So I full restored my phone and now it's fine!
my battery last about 8hrs with barely no use. with average whatsapp and email i'd be lucky to get 3-4hrs. I've already tried every trick listed in the forum to extend batt life. it turns off randomly under heavy use (camera or video playback, games, etc). those things work when its on the charger.
I've decided to replace the battery and my back cover that doesn't seat properly anymore. i wanted to know if anyone have purchased the extend battery; and that back cover looks alot bigger than the original.
is it worth it? amazon.com item # B002MPY4BW
or should i just buy the standard replacement battery? amazon item # B001IF277K

The original battery is too small.
They may have been built in a SE factory but the current rating is too low for the x10's demands.
SE would have solved many problems by just using a larger cell.
The x10 sometimes requests more current that what those poor cells could supply.
Due to a overly hungry GSM 3G radio.

Yes, that makes sense, but is there any sort of guarantee that these no-name batteries use actually larger cells and produce higher rating?
All I'm saying is I am a bit reluctant to trust cheap so-called extended batteries.
i think the original batteries are weak too. don't even have 3G here. at first it lasted a full day with just music, texting and calls. once i added data it dropped more than half.
know whats odd tho.. at home on wifi i get longer battery life. i think it has something to do with this mobile data service.
quick update.. got the new battery.. went with the original so far 21hrs and i'm at 13% batt life. i'm happy rite now. i kno thats gonna go down a bit once my provider remove that blackberry data plan(had to use a BB for 2 weeks) and have my regular data working again.

I did a quick google search and it had some good reviews,
however e_cell's ebay profile has 157 negative votes in the last month alone.
mostly due to shipping times (because all the stuff is shipped to china)
I'll look for a better way to get one, and hopefully my SGP will not explode

Wish me luck!
OK, tell us how it works out!
Yes, even though I have the 5.0 I am still very interested in what happens. Let us know everything, thanks
I will try to make a youtube video when it arrives;
I just hope it dose not mess up my SGP;
anyway even if it's not fully 2430mAh, it would still be nice to have a spare battery
...hmm maybe if i wasn't so reckless with my devices, they would last longer.... nah!
Nah! Come on, isn't that the beauty of having a user replaceable battery? Use your battery how ever you want, then replace as necessary! I got a brother who's one year old itouch battery doesn't last for over an hour of gaming anymore, nothing he can do without spending a fortune!

Just got my battery in the mail, using that Exact link and....
....It WORKS!
The temp is about the same as the OEM battery,
Although I have not tested the running time (just got home)
running times should be up by noon tomorrow
Are the results in yet?
Just finished running a battery benchmark
(Runs the device at 100% battery, with full brightness and other stuff.
and... it's about the same as the stock battery
I have not had time to test video playback and music with the screen off yet though.
oh well At least now I have an extra battery, and it's li-po to
app used for testing:
https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmFudHV0dS50ZXN0ZXIiXQ..
in my opinion, it's still worth the buy.
Note: I stated each test right after charging the battery until it hit 100% the meter the dropped to 97, on the stock battery and 99 on the hicap, showing that the battery meter is not all that accurate, I will try to do some better tests later.
I have attached the scores:
Hmm, bummer. I thought it was to good to be true. Oh well, still a good price for a spare.
hmm, I ran both batteries on full brightness with netflix and the HiCap lasted ~3 hours before low battery warning, and the stock only lasted 2hrs(and 15mins)
So it's no where near twice the capacity as advertised, but it looks to last long than the stock,
benchmark was wrong!
more tests next week
You could try "my battery drain analyser" to help test, looks like a useful tool!
So, after having the battery for a while, what is your verdict? Does it actually last longer, or is it not worth it?

My initial test showed it to be about the same as the stock battery,
I use it as my primary now, and Have not had any issues with it.
I will do some more tests on Wednesday, Video playback/wifi/ using CPU at 100% for long periods of time. and I'll report the Results, I have a battery graphing app, so that may help
But as of know it dose not seem to have almost twice the capacity of the stock battery, like it's advertised as.

I've always been a battery swapper since the early Nokia days. Can't bear the thought of not having a fresh battery there ready to go when I am. No waiting for phone to charge at the last minute when heading out of the door.

What capacity Anker's did you end up getting? I had a look at those big 4400mAh ones as a backup for when travelling overseas but never went through with getting one.
the one thing i hated about the iphone 4 I had last was waiting for sufficient charge whenever I had to quickly be somewhere unexpectedly. Some times Id go out for a few beers in the evening with a low charge thinking id be home soon.. end up having many, many more and so Id end up with a dead phone as im trying to find a way home.
Can honestly say that I havent ever had that issue again since investing in this phone and extra battery haha.
The ankers are the same physical size as the standard battery, just 2200mAh. The only draw back is the capacity drops quickly once below 10%, but I usually swap battery when it gets below 20%.

Just curious to know who else uses a spare battery? i bought a recharger kit like the one in pic and love it. just pop the cover, take battery out and replace with the fresh one and your good to go.

I use one. love it. All Samsung Galaxy S III phones ships with an extra battery so why not use it? So convenient to have one always charged in the battery charger and your phone charged with wireless charging. Qi!
R: [Q] Anyone else use spare battery?
I bkught a 2800mah battery a while ago...great, lasts a lot.
If i ever need another battery i will put back the old one...i could of course get ANOTHER 2800 and then keep switchingg it...but it would be tiresome...thats why they made rechargeable batterues in the first place...as soon as the battery wears out (5months my guess it will be 40-50% worse than when u first started using it) get another one. If you go on a trip and forget the charger, pop spare under the hood and hit low energy mode!
