Most of the batteries are fake. Its almost impossible to increase capacity without increasing the size of the battery. Also most cheap battries lack thermal capacitors which means they can blast off any moment. A thermal capacitor breaks the connection when a battery is fully charged

From eBay.I am using andida battery 1800mhah for 3 and more months and I'm satisfied.
I'm using one of those chinese batterys "Gold Business 2430mAh" for more than 1 year now. I only use my original Samsung battery in backup. Lasts a bit more than the original one (10hours more?), but it hasn't by far the announced 2430mAh.
In many forum include this the best compatible battery is polarcella akku

didn't you already make this joke?
Thanks guys! Something too good to be true I guess.
Actually I bought this battery, cover and charger off ebay 2 weeks ago and imho its awesome, typically my stock battery gives me 7.5 hrs screen time over 1.5 days, the 6500mah battery gives me TWELVE hours screen time over 2 days. I only switch wifi or 3g/4g on when I need them with sync off and this applies to the stock result as well, I know china batteries are usually sub standard and do not perform anywhere near their quoted mah capacity but in this case its pretty good and for £8.50 delivered exceptional value, if I get ONE year of consistent performance I will buy it again.

I believe these have the capacity of two chinese batteries in one, whatever that means. Still it should be better than stock battery.

Mugen is overpriced. Why not Momax? They use LG cells. I've had a fat Momax extended battery on my SGS2 for 18 months and no issues at all. It lasted about twice as long as expected from the numbers.
Really cheap batteries leave me nervous. I sleep with my phone charging next to me and would not like to wake up in a fire or worse.
But Mugen? I'm quite unlikely to drop $100 for a battery. But won't go for $10 ones either. If Momax doesn't release their extended for the Note II soon, I'll just find something similar.

Well, the Veblen effect might apply to extended batteries too. But in general if the difference is too big I tend to suspect that they are using cheap cells and/or lying regarding capacity. It is not always easy to measure the numbers accurately.
Hello, has anyone ever used either of these batteries? I saw them listed on ebay, and there are many sellers for these. Unfortunately, since you can't see any product reviews on ebay, unlike on amazon, I can't tell if it's any good or not.

Yes the 4300 on ebay. It seems fine. Let's clear this up a little more. My battery on heavy use drained between 10 to 15 % an hour. With this battery it is around 5%. I hope this clears it up some more for you.

No it is going strong since 4 month's. I done earlier post I posted the link for the 4300 mAh I use. But also this gold battery 2680MAH is a really big improvement on battery life in still the same size like the original battery. I wonder why not lg Samsung and Co can but more juice in the same battery but obviously others can. I always questioning this.

That's exactly what u have. No it does not has nfc. The only battery that is bigger and has nfc is the one from mugen. But that 2680MAH has it. Well it still is able to fit in ur normal battery back so. I heard someone mention that those gold batteries are sold out. And if u buy that bigger battery make sure to follow the charging and recharging procedure. Put in ur phone let it run down to 5% then charge it for around 12 hours. Make sure u do not interrup the charging. Then after that the same always let it go down to around 5 and charge it for around 8 hours. Ur phone is gonna tell u that the battery is full like after 2 hours. That's not right. Since it goes by the standard battery. Trust me 12 hours 5% and afterwards 8 hours 5%. Makes sense since the battery is a little bigger then twice the original one.
And look at this when do u ever get after over 15 with using the phone still 62% battery life left? Never ever. Also I used it with 1500 mhz speed I use it the standard speeds no under or overclocking. Kept that in mind.

Yeah no issues. The golden and the 4300 mAh are both made with Japanese cells so it is all good. Also they have overcharging protection. I had no issues at all. It makes my phone finally usable. I went 2 days 16 hours without charging. I take that over a little bit bulk. Or 2 to 4 hours more with that golden.

Darn it all. I was looking for one of these about 3 weeks ago. I settled for 2 Anker 3100 mah batteries and a charger for about the same money. So far, they are quite good and I'm pleased with their performance. Now I have battery envy.
In my book, the stock battery is too small, the zerolemon is too big, but the Gorilla would have been just right and at a good price.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
From the link pictures TPU case looks like S3 case although it says for Note 2. Here is my take on this. It looks like a regular ebay extended battery with addition of NFC built into the plastic battery cover, thus probably why the price is higher than from ebay. I don't have any experience with Gorilla brand, but obviously it just a HK generic re-branded battery, and from a lot of the reviews of those I have seen it's 50/50 chance you will get the advertised capacity. I'm not saying it's a case with Gorilla stuff, but it would be good to hear back from someone who bought their battery before and had a chance to really test it out to calculate mAh output. From what I heard and read, the only available double capacity batteries that are reliable: Mugen ($105 - way too overpriced) or Hyperion ($18.99 and $4.99 for extended tpu case).
Regarding Zerolemon being too big, I would correct it as "heavier" but not too big. It adds the same thickness as 6200/6500 mAh battery, just extends it across the back of the phone due to an additional battery block. That is why people use the same Defender mod for either double capacity or triple capacity extended battery - fitment will be similar.

That's how most of these work. Double capacity is nothing more or less than 2 original ones fused together. Zerolemon is just 3 fused together, arranged in a different shape. As it was discussed before, Samsung squeezed maximum capacity out of that battery footprint, nothing holding back. 3100 mAh is the max you can get out of that single footprint while 6200 mAh is the max out of double, just like 9300 mAh is the max from ZL triple. The only other company that was able to squeeze a bit more juice out of double was Mugen, and they make their own battery cells. Everybody else buys it from China and slaps their own label on it. Some companies do a detailed testing to guarantee the product, while others write made up capacity numbers. I would take it with a grain of salt when I read 6500 mAh and see the price (higher than ebay stuff, but justifiable because NFC antenna is included and that one is pricey) which points to origin of these cells from China. I have nothing against GG and from all the feedback I see they are a very reputable company that has been around for awhile. But I still think these are really 6200 mAh batteries, unless someone can get an external test unit which discharges and monitors the actual current draw down to 3.4V or whatever is the threshold when battery goes dead.

vectron, have you seen this review for the GG battery?
http://www.batteryreview.info/revie...h-extended-battery-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s3/
According to the review, the GG battery is on par with Anker, Hyperion, and Mugen, beating them all slightly. If the reviewed battery is representative of GG batteries, then they are comparable to the favored batteries on this forum.
I have enjoyed reading many of your reviews. Thank you for your fine work. Is there any chance you might review the GG battery for the GN2?
