Hi guys,
I am a Galaxy S 3 user.
I have been using DU battery saver over the past few days and i noticed that my battery voltage ( which is rated at 3.8V for the SGS3), is showing fluctuations between 3.8V and 4.0V. Is this normal ??
I also bought an OEM battery off ebay and the voltage is fixed to 3.6V. Do you recommend using the OEM battery or will the low voltage affect the phone?

Anyone?

Its against the rules, that you agreed to when you signed up for XDA, to bump threads before 24 hours of inactivity. Refrain from doing so in the future.

OEM batteries are always my preference. They're regulated better (generally). Id rather have 2 OEM batteries or 1 OEM battery and a usb extended battery than a replacement brand battery. that's me though.

As I know it is normal.
The voltage will be between 3.6 or 3.7 up to 4.1 or 4.2 , sorry I can't remember the exact number, but that's it
Usually battery capacity is related, 100% will show like 4.2 V, and if goes down 10% , it will drop to 3.7 V.
Maybe you should have done a little research on Li-ion battery, Wikipedia is good place

Hi,
I was comparing battery life to my desire s. I know there are different specs and the galaxy s 3 needs a bigger battery for the screen etc but I charged the desire s to a 100% and took it of charge. It took around 10 minutes for that percentage to drop to 99% while using the phone and considering it has a smaller battery. On the galaxy s 3 when I take it off charge it goes straight from 100 to 99 and while using the phone for the same time 10 minutes the battery has decreased dramatically to about 94.
I am on RGUI rom with siyah kernel

No day is considered complete without at least one new topic about battery issues or low RAM.
Please let me stress that the forum search has no issues and works fairly well... one needs to use it tough.
Li-Ion packs don't like being fully charged or fully discharged, so the phone's integrated charger only goes to 99% and keeps it there on trickle charge which will significantly extend the phone's average battery life.
It doesn't matter tough if your phone goes from 100% to 99% instantly or stays at 100% for 10 minutes; the overall capacity (from fully charged to power-off) is the only relevant factor. And that one should be better
Thanks for the info but I see my desire s battery better though

U say ur desire had better batterylife. Did u have 3g or wifi on on both? My galaxy s2 lasted 4 days with 64 orosent left. Almost no screen on time and 3g and wifi off. It wasn't better than s3 when using it the same way.

Conditioning is more important than the initial charging of a lithium-ion battery.
Run it on the charge for an hour or two extra. But make sure you use the battery to around 20% charge then recharge it fully.
Depending on who you ask, this seems to be the best for longevity for Li batteries.
OK thank you
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
it's also very damaging to run lithium batteries flat (like you see in some screenshots where people run it to like 1%)
optimum charge for lithium is between around 30% and 80%. they will get better life with regular top up charges rather than full discharge and charge.
Re Samsung S3 GT-19000
I asked the same question to customer services when I got mine and was told charge first time for 8 hours,. even though the batt will come with some charge already in it,. they told me charge for 4 hours, then you can turn it on but leave it continue charging for a further 4 hours with minimal use, then your ready to go, the standby life is only a couple of days,. from experience, but if your browsing or playing games/watching video etc it will only last 7 to 10 hours,. hope thats helpful,. regards Gwest
No need to charge for x hours before use. That, and those "fully charged before discharge", "fully discharged before recharge" are for nickel battery which has memory effect. Lithium battery has no memory effect but natural degradation. To slow the degradation, just avoid fully discharge and high temperature.

Are you using an original charger?
Are you using a wall or USB charge?
I have original 1650 mAh battery and it takes roughly about 2.5 - 3 hrs to charge from 0% to 100% using original Samsung charger
It will more if you bigger battery or you are charging USB or with nonstandard charger

i use original charger and battery(1650mah) only from samsung but still it is taking more time around 4 hours.
is there any problem with my battery or mobile?
i purchased it 6 months befoe.
Bro battery charging time depends whether you are using the phone or not... because if you are using it continuously while charging screen n processor drains alot of juice...so it will take alot of time but if phone is in deep sleep it will charge faster...as simple as that..!!

Mine takes about 3.5 hours with the original charger and battery. So, depending on your usage it can be normal.
From a wall charger mine is taking around 3 and a half hours stock battery... yours seems fine...

Have you heard about undervolting and overvolting? and if you install a kernel like Siyah you can adjust the values needed to make your charging faster.

I thank people who write helpful posts, so i expect the same.

But the charging is still limited to 650mA, since the hardware only has three modes.. 90mA which is never used, 450mA which is for usb charging and 650mA which is for charging with an adapter.

my i9100 takes at least 4 hours to fully charge. i bought it recently as a used product. is this normal? what time do u guys get? i guess the phone is 1.5 years old judging from its condition..
Form empty/close to empty, that's fairly normal, tho with a new-ish battery you might get maybe half an hour faster. Given the age of the phone, try a new battery (chances are you're going to need one soon anyways if that's the battery that came with the phone).
Actually it should take around 3 hours..
Because 1.6/0.7= 2.29 hr
1.6 is your battery capacity whereas 0.7 is your charger output current.. so based on the theory.. your phone should charge with in 2.3 hr..

According to Amazon,i should not use the white Anker universal charger on s3 batteries, is there a reason for this? So far i see no reason, but I do not want to take a risk, thanks!
note: I used to use this to charge my s2 Anker batteries
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Probably because it charges very slowly compared to the correct s3 charger and it is designed for 3.7v rather than 3.8v. You may not think there is a difference but higher voltage leads to higher termination voltage which this charger will never reach.

So generally, it should be safe to use? It would just change slower?

As long as the charger is designed for Li-ion battery and the correct mAh rating then yes it is safe, but you will never acheive a 100% charged battery for your phone.
Yep charged every single phone battery I've ever had, why would it never be 100% though? Mind explaining?
