Hi guys:
Is it possible to use a battery from another phone? Because sometimes chinese mobiles can be compatible with Nokia's batteries and for a little amount of money, we can get some cooler Nokia's ones.
I'm getting a ZTE Blade this week, so I will tell you my impressions ASAP.
Regards.
I wouldn't recommend using any other battery than the official one provided. You're asking for trouble otherwise.
Why not? If it has the same voltage and fits perfect, there isnt any reason for using this battery. There are other manufacturers of mobile phone batteries that make compatible batteries, so It wouldnt have any problem.
Anyone tried it? I will make a study of MP batteries and then I will tell you if I found something interesting.
Regards
why would you do that when a new oem battery is so affordable?

More capacity power than the stock one. Finally, I have bought an emergency charger for 10 euros, that have 1900 mah and its affordable for my Samsung Wave and this phone.
Hope that it will solve all battery problems.
Regards.

OK, give us some results once you have

Interested aswell in the review,was considering carrying a spare battery but this looks handier.
I considered using another battery too, but this option has multilple advantages:
1) It has 1900 mhAmp, so it lefts 500 mAmphs free to make another charge.
2) I'm using two smartphones, so I can charge both ones.
3) I don't need another charger or charging it in the phone and removing it. I just charge the emergency charger and I can use the phone again.
BTW, my ZTE Blade seems to be the AMOLED version, with low battery consumption. I'm using stock GB firmware, and after a day using 2G network, WiFi, playing Angry Birds for 30 minutes, using Whatsapp and a few phone calls, I have 30% left. SO I'm quite impressed with battery life, hope it will be as good as my Samsung Wave (I use it around 2-3 days with no problems)
I will make a full review when I will receive the charger.
Regards.
I bought the 2800mAh version of that charger, and man does it work great.
I suppose it's the only must have accessory I can think of to a smartphone.
1500mAh Battery for ZTE San Francisco Blade on ebay i dont have enough posts to paste the link.
not sure if its any good,has anyone tried it?
of course u can
I got this one: (1500mah) it works .
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180712611702
how much time does it take to full charge the battery?? think u need a bigger capacity charger with this to charge it speedily...

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.
yeah I cant find this in writing. Where is a good place to find oem Battery's
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.

Not sure i have been using it for just 3 days now , i see i get 2-3 hours more on the anker batteries , but need to use it longer to confirm that.
it fits well with the stock battery cover.
sorry you are right the one i got was 1900mah too.

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)
thanks!

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.
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.

Except this is more of a discussion about the question, not really Q&A material.
OP I don't use one, mainly because I don't have one if I did I would probably use it.
No offence OP, but this should be in the accessories forum, I do believe, so on your behalf ©®™ for moving
Bought two anker batteries at the same time I bought the phone, the Samsung battery is still in the box and I've never used the phone to charge. Swap the battery between the phone and charger every second morning, it's the first smart phone I've not had to worry about battery life.
Galaxy S III has a really good battery life so I don't use an extended battery

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.
Ah, maybe I should note that for most tasks I use my Nexus 7 :laugh:. Oops-a-daisy. I use Galaxy S 3 mainly for music and when I study on bus. No gaming or movies.

boomboomer I was looking at the anker batteries when i first got the phone last year too.. but ended up going with this official samsung kit that had a spare that game with it. 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%.

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!

I do highly recommend. Never more than $15, I'd suggest give 25% more life, and having used them for maybe over a year each on two different phones, I don't notice the life dropping.
A few weeks ago I swapped to my original battery, forgot I had done so, and suddenly wondered why my phone was draining fast.
I've got no connection to the company, and in my early Note 1 days I'd buy dozens (well, loads), of unofficial batteries and these were my fave. As others say, I hear good things about Anker too. But find an MPJ on eBay and you'll be happy.

Yes we are looking for a battery with more mAh and that you do not need to change the look of the phone. IDo not like the phone thicker. Manufacturers are frivolous batteries up to 3200 mAh and the label put 3500.4200 mAh. So I saw the people at KING. I opened the outer handout was printed inside the battery and 3200mAh and I gave a lot of money. I could die a fool I am. The only original batteries are slim, so. Too bad those are not the ZeroLemon and slim extended battery for Note 3 as make 3000 mAh Galaxy S4 and are very good.

We have options:
1-Use an external battery case
2-Have an extra battery so when the first battery gets low, you just swap to the new one. The problem is that the phone shuts down (except if you have external power source plugged)
3-Using a battery charger, basically a battery with a cable you plug to your phone and charge.
I'd go 2 or 3, but 2 can be bad if you dont have a external battery charger that you plug on the wall , and 3, it takes lots of time to charge the note 3 specially if you are not using USB 3 or a capable device with high charging capacity

And you're so right.
A couple of years ago (around the time the nokia 3210got released) my aunt bought a chinese battery for an alcatel phone. The battery went boom and it took her a long time to be able to leave her phone charging till it was full.
I'm not gonna take the risk to blow up my phone to save a few bucks

Hey!
My CHDs battery is totally jacked up. Its swollen and provides like 5-10 min of battery backup. Please suggest me some batteries that are possibly of higher capacity and are available online for a nominal price. Also, don't suggest me battery calibration and stuff cause I've tried it all and its definitely a problem in my battery.
P.S.- I bought this phone in August,2013.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I had the exactly same problem. Battery used to get charged in under 10mins and after each reboot would show a different battery percentage. The main thing that caused this was over charging. Do not over charge!
I got a new original battery from the local market for about 700 bucks. And now all the problems are gone.
