I was just wondering.... Saw some listing on ebay and batteries for international version is cheaper than the US/Canadian version... It would be great if they are the same since I could save a few more bucks for an emergency spare battery...
Yes the i9300 and i747m batteries are the same. When I got my i747m I threw my fully charged i9300 battery in and worked. They are interchangeable
Just remember you'll lose NFC if they aren't OEM though

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind... I won't be using much NFC anyhow, plus the extra battery is more or less for emergency purposes...

I know there's tons of threads about the best replacement batteries and the best extended batteries, but I'm looking for OEM from Samsung, NFC capable batteries. I'm well aware that they won't be as cheap as the high-capacity ones, but I seem to have misplaced my OEM battery while swapping it out for my extended one.
I don't really want to trust Ebay, unless they're a 100% valid seller carrying OEM batteries which won't boot-loop.
Thanks.

You can't be much more guaranteed than straight from Samsung.
AT&T or Samsung.
I got an OEM stock battery from Amazon.com for $20 plus shipping. The seller is "Bluemail". It took about 2 weeks to get, but for $20, who could complain?

Well, I'm sure it'll "work" but it'll work just like all the other i9100 batteries work. Boot-Looping and no "NFC" label.
Can someone explain to me what the Label actually means? Is the NFC chip inside the battery, or does the battery just "allow" the waves to pass through it without any interference? If the latter, will non-oem batteries cause interference?
Also, I went ahead and bought theses:

I'll let you guys know if they're OEM or not...
Thanks for all your help =D
I got this one with charger which doubles as stand (only for phone without case) for $30 a couple months ago. I can confirm that is same as stock (OEM with NFC).

Ok, thanks for that information.
I just got a reply from the seller. Here's what I asked, and the reply:
"Is this product: http://www.all4cellular.com/samsung-eb-l1a2gba-battery.html An OEM battery? As in, it was made by Samsung in Korea, allows USB charging, does not Boot-Loop, and is NFC capable?"
Answer:
"
Yes its an OEM Battery manufactured by Samsung in Korea, does support USB charger, doesnt Boot Loop and depending on your cellular device is compatible with Near Field Communication."
does anyone know what the model of the sprint samsung galaxy s3 is? im looking to order online for spare batteries but not sure if its the same as the asian/european versions?
Pretty sure it is the Samsung L710...
Or try SPH L710 WTK
EBay has some 2850mah (probably cheap 2100mah) So I ordered one just to get the external charger. I the. ordered a real Samsung 2100mah battery. I'll have a review when I run the 2850mah for a week.

thanks for the info guys. yea i seen ebay have some batteries for the s3, but the model number was like gt-i9300...so not sure if its the same as the sprint one??
Yeah, if its for any version of the S3 it will fit. Just be aware that the eBay batteries probably do not support NFC.

if you do not use the nfc batteries, will there be any errors on your phone that pop up?? as long as there isnt any annoying popups that you cant get rid of. i think i need a spare back up battery..... also, most people use nfc for the tap payments and the file transfers right? or at least those are the main uses of the nfc chips.....?

No, you should never get an error. And NFC will also be used for textiles.
Yeah I'm gonna keep the 2850 as a spare once I break it in.

Google Wallet Activation and Non-NFC Batteries
So we need stock batteries in order to use NFC. I wasn't aware of that when I ordered some cheap batteries with charger on ebay a couple of weeks ago. They work well otherwise.
I'm curious about the interaction between Google Wallet and NFC. If I try to activate Google Wallet with a non-NFC battery, will this fry the wallet chip as if I had tried to flash a ROM with it activated? Once I read the thread that referred to this phenomenon I deactivated my Google Wallet just so in the future I wouldn't trash it accidentally while I was playing with my phone's firmware once that's possible.
IMO those batteries are no good, I've had 1 for a week now, some cycles ran through it. Some odd behavior I've had, has only charged to 100% once, now it never reaches full charge[84%], and once unplugged at 84%, percentage on phone sometimes goes up, then back down below 84%. I suggest oem battery, Gold battery brand no good IMO.
Hey everyone,
I have a white samsung GS2 T989. I was thinking of buying an extended battery and/or an external battery pack charger (i was looking at an Anker® Astro Mini 2600mAh)
.
I was looking into a qcell brand battery, what do you think? Thanks for your time.

does your model have the same battery size as GT-I9100? If so, the most reliable extended battery i could recommend is the official samsung 2100mAh extended battery.. just to be safe
Yep. What Saywhat said. Genuine 2000mAh if there's one available for your phone. I've tried batteries from other manufacturers & been underwhelmed (nowhere near specified capacity, excessive heat when charging).
well, seidio's 3200mah battery is working really well for me. it last me two day with normal usage.
anyway, i think the op have the tmobile, whick mean that none of the battery for the i9100 will fit in it.
OP: i think you should ask the people in the tmobile s2 sub forum.

Hi
I'm new here and was hoping to get a bit of advise. I need to get a new battery for an old Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100) and I have been having a look on Amazon. I know the correct battery I need but what troubles me is the amount of conflicting reviews on the batteries. Almost all of them have 50/50 people saying they work or don't work and it gets even worse when you try to look for a genuine Samsung battery with most of the reviews claiming that they are not in fact genuine Samsung.
What I'm hoping is that one of you have bought one in the past that worked okay either genuine or non genuine (it just needs to work) and that you remember which one it was you bought so I can take a look at that one too. At the moment I'm just confused by all the noise in the reviews and haven't got a clue which I should be going with.
Thanks in advance.
i did buy a original samsung battery from an orange ahop and i can tell u it improved my up time with 1 day!!! 2000 mah samsung

Yeah that's the trouble now though as it's such an old phone most shops don't stock them so you have to look online. You mention that you got a 2000mah battery, do these work okay then? I thought I'd have to get a 1650mah as that's what came with the phone? Can you put any mah? in the phone?
use the 2000 mah, samsung made it special for s2 and is a great battery i bought it 2 months ago from store so they still make them

I bought a "genuine" battery from eBay but apparently it's for a i9100 and not my gt-i9100. The battery didn't work as expected and would quickly drain within a few hours of norm use. Is there a difference or is the seller just saying that to make it sound like I am at fault for thinking the i9100 and gt-i9100 were the same model phones?
Thanks.

They are the same device. And I wouldn't be buying "genuine" samsung batteries off anyone other than samsung. It is more than likely a fake.
You could try Anker brand, they have a good reputation
Thanks for that. I would but I'm in Australia so i can't order an Anker battery easily.

Yeh, I'd tried ordering an Anker battery off the one Australian seller, and it just never came, so they refunded it and I didn't consider ordering from them again.
Amazon doesn't actually deliver to Australia for this particular item, but I've ordered one using the AustPost mail forwarding service (ShopMate), and hopefully it wouldn't cost too much more and it gets delivered without any issues. I can report back here on how it goes, if anyone is interested?
