[Q] Interchange GS3 and GS3 Mini Battery - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to know if it's possible to use the GS3 battery in the GS3 Mini? I have an GS3 Mini and I'm kinda curious if the battery of the GS3 will fit the mini. It'll be cool to have a larger batt for the mini.
Thanks

I don't have either, but seeing the GS3's battery is larger is terms of dimensions, it won't fit.

It seems that battery from samsung galaxy ace 2 is the same as in S3 mini. You can choose 1700 mAh battery already in ebay for ace 2 as well as for s3 mini

Use a 1500mAh. Check the Accessories section. I ordered one and made a thread about it.

Good news about the battery

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.

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?

[Q] ? SM-G730A 2000mah battery for I8190 ?

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).
I am using Sun Global battery which is local to my place. www.sunglobal.com.my

What’s different about Samsung S5 battery?

Two months have passed in 2014. As usual, releasing new cell phone would be the most exciting news for tech-fans. Right now most of people concern about the publishing of iPhone 6 and Samsung S5. Well, despite of iPhone 6, rumors said that Samsung S5 will adopt a special battery. What exactly is going on?
Few days ago, Phone Arena had posted an article about Samsung S5 battery information. It is said that Galaxy S5 will have a new type of Li-ion battery with 2900 mAh capacity, compared with 2600mAh in Galaxy S4, and rapid charging. With rapid charging technology deployed, it will get the S5 fully charged in under two hours.
The new type of Li-ion battery can store 20% more energy in the same footprint. Despite the increasing quantity in capacity, the battery size might stay the same, meaning more places for the internals, and a more compact handset.
Due to a more powerful performance in Galaxy S5, even the capacity increased, that doesn’t mean the standby time will sufficiently extend. In some ways, we still need backup battery or power bank to support our cell phone usage. If you tired of carrying heavy power bank or many backup batteries, you may try wireless charging receiver battery if you have Galaxy S4.
Anyway, no matter what S5 battery would be, as long as it keeps longer using time, it is acceptable, right?

external battery charger

Does anyone have a link for an external battery charger for the Samsung Galaxy s3 mini? I've found several for the S3 but none for the mini.
Thanks,
HT
What do you mean external battery charger? outdoor?
BOth devices samsung galaxy S3 and S3 min are povered with a micro USB chargers.
So any charger for the Big S3 will work with the small S3 mini as well.

By External I mean one that charges a spare battery that is not currently installed in the phone. I want to charge a spare while still using the phone.
Guess I didn't realize the s3 desk top chargers would also work for the mini.
Thank you,
HT
The Samsung galaxy s3 desktop chargers may charge the phone but the S3 mini batteries do not fit in the extra charge slot. Back to square one.

The battery in the SM-G730A has the same dimensions and build structure as the battery used in GT-I8190 (apart from the N model - with NFC), with only minor differences in power specifications and should work with both devices.
