Since AT&T's model has the thicker NCF 1650mah battery by default I'm thinking that the Korean NFC 2000mah package may fit since that is probably what the AT&T GSII build may likely be based on since the AT&T version has NFC and is a mm or so different in size vs the international version, similar to the Korean SGSII version and how the international version can't handle the Korean kit (the 2000mah NFC battery fits, the back doesn't).
What would be interesting to know is if the international battery kit back fits the Korean GSII's since we know the Korean battery kit back does not fit the international GSII, and from what I've seen on the internet the AT&T version can not use the international kit (probably due to the back but the battery may still fit).
If anything I hope its just the back of the AT&T GSII that is incompatible with the international GSII cause if the battery and the back is different in size then I'll be really pissed cause that would mean that AT&T has a totally different size from all the rest of the GSII's which could make buying accessories really slim picking, one of the main reasons why I held out over the AT&T variant over the Sprint version was the similarities with the international version which means more accessories to choose from. So HOPEFULLY the Korean kit works.
Another option is to look at the batteries for the Indian version of the GSII since it supposedly has NFC as well but I have not seen anything on it. And of course we could just wait for AT&T and Samsung bring out the 2000mah battery kit for the AT&T GSII but I'd be surprised if they have any plans on doing that anytime soon if at all since Samsung will be busy with the Nexus and AT&T will be busy with their upcoming QHD and HD phones.
It's just a hunch but I went and ordered the Korean NFC 2000mah battery kit from exportprive for $35 USD (plus $20 USD "express" shipping) over the weekend along with a couple of those charger stands ($13 USD each) and I guess they will ship it soon so I'll be the guinea pig for testing the Korean battery kit and the AT&T GSII, wish me luck !
That is a lot of typing for a battery ha ha..jk
Look forward to seeing if this works if so I'll follow suit.
From reading the general SGSII 2000 mAh thread, I believe as long as it's "NFC" it will fit our phone.
After all that hassle, it will suck if the 2000mAh batteries have less capacity than the 1650mAh batteries due to Samsung's standards over cheap battery mfrs...

Reports so far from people using the 2000mah batteries on the international GSII are calling it a 20%+ gain in battery life along with better cooling due to different back and overall good looks without much of an addition in thickness with the phone being around the thickness of the Captivate after the battery and back are installed. If it works I think it will be a great addition to an already great phone.
Ah, just got a response from exportprive that explains the situation:
Hi,
The EB-K1A2EBSG is the Korean version of the EB-K1A2EBEGSTD, and was supposed to be compatible with all Galaxy S 2 versions. However, it turns out that only the back plate is incompatible, and only fits the Korean Galaxy S 2. In fact, the 3 top left grooves (with the outside of the back plate facing you) are aligned differently by just a few millimeters, which bends the case when trying to insert it in your device. We apologize for any inconvenience, and offer you the following alternatives to solve this problem:
1. A refund for this item (or a credit of the same amount).
2. A partial refund of $6 USD per item if you wish to keep it as an extended battery (which is an NFC version).
We are open to any other suggestions. Please let us know what you wish to do.

I wonder how much trouble it would be to get an extended back for the AT&T version to fit this back? Seeing how the 2000mah NFC batteries aren't as easy to come by as the even more hard to come by regular international 2000mah batteries.
I would hate for someone to be a guinea pig but I'm going to wait till someone tries it on the US version.
I await to see how this plays out. I would love to have the larger battery

I cancelled my order, the battery does fit but then the replacement back to go with the battery doesn't. Hopefully Samsung will put this kit out for the AT&T version .

I wonder if there's a non-Samsung door that will work.
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.
All questions concerning an AT&T version seem to be ignored in the international version thread...has anyone found one that fits our version??
The 2000 mAh battery for the international Galaxy S 2 should work on the AT&T version since the back appears identical.
the backs appear identical, however the international version is not NFC capable and therefore that battery will not be the same. but i agree that the I9100 thread seems to ignore any comments about the I777. wth.
I just bought the 2000 mah batter from Ebay and it has the NFC label on it. Of course, I have the international version and it doesn't fit. For those that have the US version, PM me if you'd like to buy it. I'm in the SF Bay Area, CA.

I just posted about the extended battery I recieved yesterday. It is a 2600MAH battery from a company called TruCell. I took a risk because they were the only company I found on the web selling a battery specifically for the AT&T model. Funny on Ebay it said for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 but whe I look at the battery it says for the I9100. In any case the battery and the case fits perfectly. Phone is heavy as all get out but If It gives me an extra 4 to 5 hours of heavy use then I am perfectly fine with it.
what did that monster cost you???

I'm in the market for a battery for my Atrix 4g. I don't want one that needs a change for the backplating. (I have a nice car dock for it that I have and want to continue using that doesn't support thicket Atrix cases)
So the guidelines are:
-no new backing for the phone (original cover)
-highest battery size possible
-id prefer it if the phone recognized the true % of the new battery instead of the "stuck at 1% but still have lots of battery left" bug a lot of people are running into with other batteries
Appreciate any help! (I've looked all through the forums and can mostly find support/threads for the extended batteries with the new backings)

I discovered this also as I bought a 2nd Atrix 4G and it came with 2 spare batteries that always show 1%. I guessed it was due to them being not original. Does that 2300mha battery show proper battery stats?

Any known heating problems with the 2300 battery?
Buy the Motorola Universal Dual-Charging Portable Power Pack (Motorola P793 Power Pack) - Black - Retail Packaging @ Amazon for $22. It's amazing. Small (4" (110mm) long, 2.2" (55mm) wide and 0.4" (10mm) thick, and weighs about 2 ounces) and light as a feather and capable of instantly powering/charging your Atrix and many other devices thru a separate USB outlet SIMULTANEOUSLY. Bought a second one for my wife to be able to have instant power/recharge for her Windows mobile device. Devices can be used while charging. One of my "best buys"!
Just saw this on Amazon and eBay (can't post links).
Older threads about similar batteries indicate that their true capacity is similar to the OEM battery.
I don't expect this battery can really hold 3500mAh, but could it be at least slightly better than the 2500mAh OEM battery?
Thanks
By the way, is there anything like batteryboss.org for Note batteries?
Since the Note 2 has a 3,100 mAh battery, I wonder if it would fit in ours?
Long shot I suppose, but we will probably start seeing a lot of 3,000+ bats popping up...

A quick Google search finds a retailer that reports the following:

I've just been looking at batteries myself and the site you quote above also says:
It is fully compatible with all Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone which take original Samsung part number EB615265VU battery.
Click to expand...

I get the impression that the serial number is supposed to represent the original Samsung battery part number. What's odd is that the GT-N7000 takes the EB615268VU (and the Note i717 takes EB615268VA) Samsung battery, so whether there is another Galaxy Note model that takes a different battery variant is anyone's guess.
I guess the point is that third-party batteries can carry any serial number they want to put on it, but the proof will only be after you've bought one and used it. I personally don't think they can fit 3500mAh into the battery especially for the prices they quote, but any increase on the stock battery will be nice.

Stock battery is always the best. If you want a extended battery, don't get the one's that claim to have bigger capacity at the same size (they are full of lies), real extended batteries require an extended back cover. The anker batteries are not bad, but I still think stock is better.

I see...Iv seen tons of batteries on ebay, i dont know which one to get lol
The one thing you can count on when you buy a 'Samsung' battery from eBay is that it has NEVER been anywhere near a Samsung factory.......
You can also probably count on the fact that they will have a lower capacity than stated.......
If you *have* to buy from eBay, go with Anker......They tend to have a higher percentage of legitimacy than batteries with a Samsung sticker on them.....

Many of the threads discussing battery replacements in this section are dispersed and old.
However,
I'm asking for help with updated opinions/recommendations/insights please.
I have a Note 3 (5.0) N9005 - original Samsung battery, and it needs replacement.
Problem: As I have a spigen neo hybrid case, I want a battery that fits into the original note 3 cover.
I am looking for safe bets - companies whose batteries are not risky nor untested by members.
Obviously there is the option of another stock Samsung original - but are there established/safe alternatives that will give me better 'juice' than stock, but still fit in the original cover?
My thanks to any that are willing to share their advice/opinions & contribute.

I just recently bought a anker for my note 3 they are trusted and a very respected company. Look for a anker on amazon for your note 3. Yes it will fit same exact size. I use to have neo hybrid. They give you a warranty as well.

Why did you choose the anker over stock?
On the anker website - there also have customer reviews of each product. Some of the note 3 battery reviews are quite poor?
I chose anker because my brother bought one for his note 4 I already knew of anker and needed a battery, he said it was great. Reviews are hit and miss take them with a grain of salt, I've bought a power add Apollo charger and love it works flawless yet on amazon where I bought it many reviews are negative. Also companies can and do hire people for good and bad reviews. The original battery is hard to find unless you directly contact Samsung they can be rather annoying with customer service with my run ins I've had with them over chargers. Most if not all Samsung OEM for note 3 on amazon are knock offs there fake. If I'm unhappy with the battery I can still return it, they gave me and everyone a warranty, they have good packaging and they only use grade A cells, from what I've experienced and my brother I believe they are great. I hope this helps if you need more info message me anytime.

Anker for me long time user.
I'm interested in finding a solution that genuinely gives me an advantage over a samsung oem battery.
Is it true that no oem batteries were produced after 2014?
The manufacture date is printed on the battery. One of the things pushingme away from oem is that they will be 2-3 years old, and kept in storage for a long time.

Now, I see that you want a battery that fits the original cover, but many folks here can recommend the ZeroLemon 10 000 mAh battery. I'm using one.
Advantages:
+ comes with a dual layer TPU case with hard plastic shell;
+ you can get 2 to 3 days of extremely heavy usage, 5, if you are moderate, and a whole week with light usage (once did 6 days with 38% battery left, got tired of trying to drain it all the way and charged it, screenshots attached).
Disadvantages:
- the thing becomes really ugly, thick and heavy, you better have big pockets and strong belts. Yes, that's the only disadvantage. Well, if you change SD or SIM cards frequently, that would be a disadvantage too.
After the first calibration charges and discharges of the battery, it takes some 6 hours to charge from 0 to 100%, but 6 hours of charging for 3 days of extreme usage - that's more than a fair deal for me.
I'm in two minds. Oem vs third party.
Problem with oems are, it seems that the last production run was 2014???
Is it really the case that I'd have to purchase a two year old battery that has been in storage for that time?
First of all I checked my original battery and there is no manufacturing date that I can see, the closest I can come to date is serial number, but no idea how to decode it. Did they put manufacturing date later on?
2. if you want/need original size don't expect big capacity improvements: same size will have similar capacity give or take tolerances and chemistry need to be similar due to charging/ voltage.
3. Especially in the phone which is charged almost daily, number of cycles is more important than age. I have Li ion batteries probably almost 10 yrs old that still work, more or less.
4. There was suspicion that some OEM batt sold around were used and therefore already partially worn out.
5. If you use NFC, make sure the new battery has NFC antenna, some don't and NFC won't work there.
I bought battery called Stalion for about $10, it has NFC antenna, it holds charge as well as new OEM and if it wears out faster than OEM ( so far all's good, 6 months and counting) I'll buy new one for $10, not worth worrying about.
But if Note 6 will be as good as the rumors suggest this is all non issue in 3 months anyway.

Can you give me some more info on no. 4. his is new to me.
When I was looking for OEM batteries on Amazon (some stuff is sold by Amazon partners, not Amazon directly BTW ) some people left comments that batt. they got lasted less than old one they just replaced, some commented that they see scratches, like they were used, some said they didn't get original packaging, another commented that advertising never said those were brand new etc. etc. while others had no problem . Actually if what you said is true about OEM ending production in 2014, all those negative comments begin to make sense. At the end all those negative comments turned me off, to the point I bought off brand (Stalion) and I'm pretty happy with it.
for example here http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Standard-Battery/dp/B00F3583S8 22% gave 1 star, that's one in five.
I like Anker but little luck with this phone for some reason . One works and other doesn't. The Anker do have NFC. Problem with OEM is that most are fake. Have several of those and 2/3 didn't last a month.
