Hi,
I'm looking to replace the stock 1500mAh battery in my nearly 2-year-old Galaxy S. I've had a look around a notice their are some high capacity ones available. However, I'm not looking for those "extended" packs, it needs to have the same dimensions as the stock battery in order to fit into the case I use. I have no idea which manufacturers are reliable, can somebody help me out?
Check the Galaxy S I9000 Accessories section, many battery discussions there

I am about to buy a new SGS and was told by a friend that this phone comes with two types of batteries and one of them lasts longer than the other. Can anyone confirm on this and also what types are there and how to tell which one will last longer?
Secondly I need your honest opinion being a user of this phone, that should I buy this phone or not. I have been using HTC Hero, then a X10, then HTC Desire (I really loved this phone) and now am thinkng about getting a SGS. So what do you guys suggest.
i have SGS i9000 it comes with 1500mA battry
its nice phone just wating for froyo update
Mines is a lithium battery 1500mah
It is a really nice phone, but it's riddled with so many problems at the moment. We're all currently waiting patiently for Samsung to release an official FroYo. Just scan through the android development board and you'll see what they are.
i think the OP is talking about the G7 vs. G8 vs. G9 markings
those are just country specific but all 3 are compatible they are all 1500 mAh
is it possible that some SGS have lithium ion and other have lithium polymer. and I guess lithium polymer lasts a bit longer. can that be identified on the battery.

I dunno,can you provide a link to support that?
As far as I know the only difference is the way they are built. Poylmer can be made thinner from what Ive read..but since most phone batteries nowdays seem to be lithium ion then why dont they use polymer ones instead? Maybe we could have higher capacity batteries that still fit in the phone? (Unlike the 3000mah and 3200mah ones you can get that require a custom back cover cause the battery is so thick).
Whats the benefit of the lithium ion ones then? Both have no memory effect so..
I read it somewhere, not sure where, that one lasts longer than other. maybe It was li-Poly lasting longer or Li-Ion, not sure. Since both types are in use in different mobile phone i.e. Desire has Li-ion and X10 has Li-Poly.
When a friend said that threre are two types used in SGS so I thought that these may be li-ion and li-poly. Maybe he was refering to the different codes written on the batteries, as also mentioned by @AllGamer. Thats why I asked the question here, that if what my friend said is true, then which one is better. Or maybe its just a difference due to different regions just like the back covers differ in different regions. I have seen two back cover on I9000, the UK set has Samsung and Google written on the back. where as saw one from UAE and it had Samsung written and a droid character logo in place of Google, just like the brasilian version.
Hi all,
I have a focus but unfortunately it was shipped with a duplicate battery . I am looking for an original one. The one which comes with Focus is EB575152VA 1500mAh but I can find a EB575152VU for Galaxy S I9000 (only last letter diff)which looks exactly the same( atleast on screen) and same mAh at half the price. I also found many similar models of battery , i.e., EB575152LU,EB575152STD etc. Are these batteries same or is there a difference? More specifically, can I use the EB575152VU on my Focus?
Thanks in advance!!!

Afaik yes, it's the same battery for Samsung Captivate i897, Focus i917, Galaxy S i9000/4G t959V, Vibrant t959.
Amazon is agreeing with me
Yes, it does.
In fact, you should use the Samsung Galaxy S Plus (i-9001) battery at 1650 mAh, that's 10% extra capacity for an additional 0.5 mm thickness.
Quick question Ive seen a couple larger capacity batteries 2000mAh and 2430mAh on ebay (not sure if i can post the links, tell me if you want me to) which are the same size as the normal galaxy S batteries, they say that the normal back cover can fit on them. And before i buy them i just wanted to if they have any effect on the phone itself. is it a smart move to buy the bigger battery? i researched and thought of flashing cyanogenmod 7.1 but i read about the battery issues and i just figured why not buy a bigger battery.
Am I going along the right thought process? let me know if im missing something. cheers.
Just got a Polarcell 1800 mAh from Amazon that seemed to be recommended by many sites, and the performance so far is nothing short of MEGA!
I do think that my original battery was nearing the end of its useful life though (18 months)
I got caught out earlier by getting a so called GOLD 2000 mAh battery that after some research (peeling off the cover and Googling the serial number I found) turned out to be only 750 mAh - buyer beware I suppose!
Don't know of any technical issues with using bigger batteries - sorry.
Yes. There have been a lot of threats, but never a really clear answer.
I have my HD2 like 1,5 year. In this time I never replaced my battery and I think my battery is now dying.
So the big question.
What is the 'best' battery for hd2?
And what is the 'best' extended battery for hd2?
Should I buy mugen, or HTC official batteries (or maybe an other brand)?
And will my battery be compatible with hd2 and custom android roms?
I don't know why there isn't big sticky threat/guide what battery you should buy. Because there are a lot of questions, and not very much concrete answers.
Thanx you.
HTC Official Extended Battery
In my opinion, the best extended battery for the HD2 is the official HTC extended battery. It's the only extended battery that's supported by the developers who make custom ROMs for the HD2. All the other extended batteries will give inaccurate readings with these custom ROMs. I've made a thread about obtaining a rugged case for the HD2 with the extended battery. In this thread, I've listed a couple of links where you can obtain the battery. Have a look.

I don't like the idea of a rugged case that is made for a other cellphone.
I think it's ok to just have a extended battery and not an extra case
Just official extended battery is the best so?
And how about the best (non-extended) battery?

I'd suggest this one. It's the one I have, and it's been great with every Android ROM I've used [Sense, MIUI V3 and V4, Cyanogen]. I get the advertised 2 1/2 days of battery life [ on Gingerbread at least, it drops a little on ICS but it is still good with my usage, which includes lots of browsing, Twitter, music, and tethering].

is there one which isnt fat as that from your link?
I can confirm that the Titan battery worked, but it smelled funny lol. It was the slim extended mugen 1950 mah battery.

Titan 4 pin, HD2 3 pin. not the best idea trying that ...
Thats why it smelled ;-) My friend is an engineer and he said he could tweak it or something. Ill let you guys know :-D

to much fat!
there isn't a version that isn't so much fat? i don't want a brick for phone!
For extended Batteries if we consider aftermarket manufacturers, i can suggest you Mugen Power brand, most positive extended battery reviews so far.
1500mAh fits the original case: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...585-1500mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
2600mAh with extra backdoor: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...ed-replacement-battery-with-battery-door.html
hope this will also help for the reference
what I'm using is:
- simply a second original one which I can put into my briefcase and have it with me nearly all the time (pro: the phone still fits into any holder, case, etc., CON: same little power...)
- the "big" one with the extension cover. I use it when walking around with a rucksack where I don't need a holder.
- and then I have an external batteryback (Mobile Power Pack VT-PP-320) which has to be connected through USB. But this has 5000mAh. I use it at home or in the hotel, or anywhere else. OR I take it with me and load the battery of th phone while making a break for example.
My experience with all of these solutions are good - depending on where I use them..

I have always two stock batteries when I'm not at home.
Travelling around for more than 30 hours I have some external battery (LiFePo4 with 9200mAh), which is good for 5 times charging the battery.
But I would like to have just one big battery fullfilling all my needs.
Hi guys, can anyone please suggest me the best extended or highest capacity battery for my Galaxy S3 i9305? I want the best one and the one with highest capacity but standard size battery. I don't want to use extra fat back doors for battery. Oh and please prefer a UK site if you are gonna give link. Thank You
