I will be buying a Samsung Galaxy Note this week.
I believe it comes with a 2,500 mAh battery.
Whilst that is fine, I'll also buy a second battery as a spare/backup.
You can pick up a third-party 5,000 mAh battery for £11.50 on Amazon (or £15.00 for one with a cover with a kickstand)
Any thoughts on such batteries?
If you guys think they're fine, I may even use Samsung's 2,500 mAh battery as the spare/backup.

Recommend use OCM battery. I had 3500 aftermarket battery and drain faster than stock battery

If people want a high capacity battery, the only way to go is to purchase MUGEN extented batteries - Do not consider anything else if you want stamina for your Note.

They charge £55.80 for a 5,400 mAh battery and £27.88 for a 2,650 mAh battery. Do they think I'm a mug?
This has many fine reviews on Amazon and it's only £11.49. I don't mind if it's not 5000 mAh as advertised. For that price, I'll be happy for it to be 3,500 mAh - would still be more than the included 2,500 mAh battery.
I'd rather buy a battery bank to use it on the OCM. That's me, but everybody got his/her own preferences.

I have quite often bought batteries, no one surpasses the orig one.
So save your money..
The battery used in the Galaxy Camera is the same one as used in the Samsung Galaxy S II. So you can pick these up for less than £10 so it's no problem keeping 1 or 2 spare with you when you're out and about.
Due to the nature of this camera, the battery performance isn't fantastic as expected and Sammy should have put a bigger capacity cell in there. But at least replacements are easy to come by.

I hate to ask this question and get blasted if it's already been answered elsewhere...but this seemed like the most logical place for it. I know the different versions of the Galaxy s2 have different batteries.
Which one would one use on the Galaxy Camera. Going on a trip over to Asia and don't want to have to recharge the camera every 10 minutes. Saw two versions from Anker on Amazon and was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. Because I'm a noob I can't save you time and post the links.
Much appreciated. Don't hate me.
Mate get the Anker twin pack which comes with a free battery charger. BARGAIN! and they are great i use them in my Galaxy Camera.

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking to do. But my dumb question is that there seems to be many variations of the 2 batteries and charger. Different mAH levels that say they only work for specific versions of the GS2. I'd hate to buy a battery that was too big with only a few days left before my trip and not enough time to exchange.
I assume that the different batteries that work with specific GS2s means that only one version works with the camera. Sorry to be such a douche about it. 1900 mAH that doesn't work with s2 II(SGH-I727) or s2 II(SGH-T989. 2200 mAH that doesn't work with S2I9100 etc. I don't know if you have as many versions to worry about on amazon as we do in the states since we have different carriers on different wireless technologies.
As long as the batteries fit shape-wise they should work. Anyway: the correct type is EB-F1A2GBU, 1650mAh.
But be careful, there are loads of fakes out there, just bought two (ok, they were unreasonable cheap) and they won't fit into the camera's battery slot (too thick).

I bought 2 x Galaxy S2 1800mAh batteries and a charger for £9 off eBay and they work without any problems. I know there are 'fakes' out there with regards to the capacities but I have used ebay for replacement universal batteries for years for a whole range of phones and (so far) no problems. As ever pick a seller with good ratings and read the feedback etc and I don't see why you'd have any issues.
Regarding compatibility, I just used the original battery model number: EB-F1A2GBU and searched from there.

Just use Samsung original battery for Galaxy S II GT-I9100....
Samsung release two models, 1650mAh like the one that comes default on GT-I9100, and 2000mAh official extended battery. The size is the same, so both can be used with SGC.
When I bought mine at the AT&T store here in NY, they gave me a Samsung charging kit for free. The kit has a Samsung battery charger and an extra Samsung battery.
I'm jealous, I didn't get this kit when I bought mine from AT&T. :/

In Indonesia, if you buy this on the launching day, you get battery kit (1x 1650mAh battery + 1x external charger) and protective film for the display :laugh:
I bought mine from att as well. I actually asked if there were any promotions going on for the camera and that's when they brought up the charger. They didn't volunteer the information. Go back into the store and ask.

Both can fit as long as they are Samsung original battery for SGS2.
I can't say the same for other non official 2000mAh (or more) extended battery :fingers-crossed:

Can i use Samsung Battery Charger Stand for Galaxy S II to recharge the Galaxy Camera original batteries?
As the batteries are exactly the same model they will fit in the charger, so absolutely, yes.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2
Last but not least...can i use Galaxy Camera charger to charge the battery with the charger stand? The output of the Galaxy Camera charger is 5V 1A but the input of the charger stand is 5V 0.7A...

You can use all accessories from the galaxy s2 and galaxy cam for the batteries.
The batteries are 100% identical. But be careful, there are extremly many fake-batteries out there.
It took me three times to buy really original batteries.

I heard that the batteries are also the same as the AT&T Galaxy S II (not the Captivate version). Is this true?

Has anybody tried these spare batts?
If so how are they?
I tried them. Only used it a couple of times. The battery takes forever to charge in the included wall charger. Also, my OEM 3100 mah battery lasts much longer. I'm sure there are better alternatives.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
OH MANNN! i bought them already based on the reviews on amazon.. How much shorter does it last than oem in your case?
I stick to proven makers. ..
Use anker battery's with my last 3 devices and also with my note 2, one battery in the charger while the other in the device. ..
Swap once every day and a half or so
Hear my advice. Stick to anker
Tapatalk N7000 Gnote
I can't say exactly but it is a noticeable difference. I am a heavy user and dont have tocharge normally until I go to bed. With the Yesoo, I had to charge by the evening. Three batteries came with it and I have only used one. I'll probably try thr others out.
I agree with the above though. I should have bought Anker.
A note to you from my Note 2.
Here is my advice. All these extended batteries dont worth your money. I had tried many with Note 1 and was just a waste of money. Stick with the original.
anyone has experience with ankers for the note 2 i used them on my s2 and they were alright.. how bout the note 2. torn between ankers of the official spare batt using the 50% coupon
That if I remember correctly, are 3100 mah battery with a 3500 mah sticker. Avoid.
Sent from Verizon Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2
I recognize that this is a "necropost", but since the Note 2 is still a current phone, and this particular cell is still being sold for it, I wanted to alert potential YESOO buyers to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43356538
(In short, the 2600 mah cells are really just 2050 mah cells with a sticker on top).

Does that mean you switched from N2 to S4?
Btw, no surprise about the battery. Any stock size battery with higher than stock capacity is a dead giveaway of fake. Gets harder to weed it out when they claim the same capacity as stock or double size extended with double capacity. In those cases, I would only trust Anker, Hyperion, and Mugen.

Yes, and no actually.
I did just switch from the N2 to the S4, but this battery is the S4 battery, not the N2 battery. I just saw this thread about the YESOO cell for the N2, and thought I'd share the info about the S4 cell.
A dishonest company is likely dishonest across the board with all their cells. In this case, factory stock is 2600, and that's what YESOO claimed, but in reality, they used a 2050 cell.
So After using my stock battery for 3 years, I thought it was high time and should be buying a battery.....
My Analysis :-
On Stock Rom, it is perfect and I use Battery Extender Kernel andgives me about 4 days of medium usage
On Cm7 Roms it gives me abt 2 days with medium usage
I dint try on Cm9 and Cm10.1 but I hope that it wud be lower that CM7
I bought it at RS 500 from Samsung Retail Store and it is stock 1350 MaH battery and I am really Happy with it
how much is the power rating of stock ace battery ? 1200mah ?

It is 1350 MaH and it works fine enough
where did u buy that and how much cost?
Is there any "working" battery for the ace out there with more than 1350mah? My battery lasts 1-2 minutes with screen on,I think it's pretty damaged xD

I took a battery 2100 MaH, on ebay. I don't know if it's a real 2100 MaH battery, but, i'm sure that the battery is 2x more long ! I can use my phone during 5-6 days.
It is a pretty old thread, anyway... Samsung is using very good batteries, if you want to go on a budget buy a third party battery, some are a near the same as the samsung only less epensive BUT it will not be of a higher capacity than the original... why ? Because the "energie density" of the Samsung batteries is certainly one of the best on the market. Meaning that a third party company is not able to create, within the same "enveloppe", "sized space" a battery with a higher capacity. That is simple as that. (with the same technology of course).
Of course after many years you can replace an old battery with one that can be of a higher capacity .. cause the technology has evolved. (not always possible)
Battery not last longing.
I bought new original samsung battery 6 months before, but now its not giving me desirable output. It only lasts a whole day only if data is not connected whole time and only few number of calls are made or attended. I am frustated now. Need help.
Try ERD battery. Is good and decent. Its Indian battery and price about 250. Find in Google.

ok so just now i had a look of the AT&T S3 Mini specs over at www.samsung.com and saw that it is listed as having a 2000mah battery, yet the phone dimensions of the new model are a little bit smaller than the ones on the I8190. So would it be possible to put the 2000mah battery from the SM-G730A into my I8190, which originally has just a 1500mah battery (i have a 1700mah one from the Ace 2, but i want more ).
And please don't tell me that there are external chargers, extended batteries or stuff like that. I know about those things, but don't wanna add bulkness to my phone or to be forced to always carry the external charger with me
Have a nice day !

I don't have that phone but as long as it fits, connectors and voltage the same you can use it.
I did this before with my Galaxy W since the shop I went didn't have my exact model.
Or you can buy same size 3rd-party battery that claims 2000mah (I am using one), but I think the numbers are overated. I didn't feel the 2000mah battery last longer than original one.

can you give a link to such a battery 'cause i can't seem to find it on the net? BTW my 1700mah battery just stopped charging to 100% from yesterday (only goes to 96 max and then stops). Not that it's a big deal, but 4% is 4% (about 4 hours stand-by time).
