I'll be going to The Netherlands in a couple weeks and I'd like to have an extra charged battery in my pocket just in case... and for the plane ride. Any suggestions? something really cheap but not totally **** would be nice!
Oh and it has to be a normal sized battery not an extended one.
Why not just pick up another stock battery? Anything else youd risk it being sub par.

Anker battery. About $10 usd on amazon and I can't tell the difference from my stock battery.

You could always pick up a USB battery. Last the entire flight with screen and WiFi on. Netflix and you arrive sleep deprived

Anker and QCell have both worked well for me. They both last just as long as the stock battery and at least on Amazon they each come with an external wall charger. I keep a charged battery in my pocket all the time now and it's great being able to quickly throw the charged one in the phone and instantly have a 100% charge.

Another vote for the regular Anker. Lasts longer than my stock battery. Bought the 2 pack with charger for $20 on Amazon.

Was wondering if anyone knows of a good extended battery?
Im kind of weary of them because before my Note II, I had an HTC EVO 3D and tried using an extended battery and it just fried the the display, it never worked again.
So I was wondering if someone could link me to an extended battery that actually worked for them, I would much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance .

Mugen is crazy asking for $100. I just got my Anker yesterday for 16 bucks on Amazon. Popped it in my phone and it had 50% juice in it. Right now almost 24 hours later I'm sitting at 35%. Still far from being able to tell how good it will be because I haven't had it long enough but it seems very promising.

+1 same question here mate
Hey guys I just got the hyperion 6200 with extended cover and here are my results so far in pics below.
I've had the screen brightness on about %20 the whole time. If you dont mind the bulk this thing is a beast! As of right now it was definitely worth $20. Hope this helps.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Thats not much better then stock battery imo, I can easily go 14-20+ hrs with at least 6-7 screen on time heavy usage. The note 2 is a phone that doesn't need an extended battery and deserves to stay the sexy ***** of a phone that it is (no prego back bump needed ) lol
Sent from my SCH-I605 aka macks jellybeans rom.
I definitely agree with the preggo look lol, but so far it seems like its gonna get through 2 days with heavy usage. I do like how long this battery is lasting, but only time will tell if I decide to fully stay with it.

You really can't compare your use to anyone else's. There are too many variables. It's best to compare with yourself. If you consistently get "35 hours with stock battery" would you get 70 with this one? Does anyone who uses an extended battery double or at least increase their usage considerably with it while maintaining the same usage patterns?

Well said! I did double my usage of two days instead of one through my first full charge (heavy user). I always keep my brightness at 20%, some calls emails, some gaming, constantly syncing, and mp3 player at least 4 hours a day. I kept my usage pattern the same since im mostly using it for work.
Only time will tell how long it'll last and how well it'll perform. For right now im happy with the purchase.

Following up with what I said earlier... Tho I do understand extended batteries can definetly be beneficial to extreme heavy users who are away from any way of charging their phone, im quite impressed with my results on stock battery with plenty more battery to kill b4 I get home from work (even on a 12+ hr shift)

In my experience they're not that good. I had one for the original Note. The built in battery isn't the stated rating and it barely provides anything more than a trickle charge. If price is your main concern go to Amazon and buy the Anker 2 replacement batteries set with charger included. I've got the Mugen battery and couldn't be happier

The Anker batteries are great, in my experience they give you a bit more battery life than the OEM battery does even though they are the same size.
So i recieved the case today and i can tell you. Its worth more than 20 dollars. It has great material plastic and leather thats fake but feels genuine. Battery life is still in testing

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.

Plus it has the nfc support that most dont have. And its 50% off right now. I have another battery case but saw this and was sold. I think you should go ahead and try it
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?

Please share. What is the best extended battery? That you can charge phone on go and use at same time. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Zerolemon is best for battery life since its 3x the battery power of the stock. But i love the Mugen battery for its NFC that comes stock with it. Rather than wiring an old nfc chip then using copper tape to connect the two contacts. But the mugen is only 6400 mah (twice the size) but the very con for mugen is that its nearly 2 times the price of the zerolemon battery. But if you dont need nfc go ahead and use the zerolemon its a great product from what i see people say.

Another option, since you mentioned "charge phone on go and use at the same time" is Anker Astro Slim 3 external battery (not extended, but external), I reviewed it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388894
It's a super slim slice that you can use for charging your phone while holding and using both battery and the phone at the same time.
I use a external battery case that takes 18650 batteries so that I can replace the battery when they go bad. I don't expect those cheap external batteries to be of good quality

Yep, that 14000 mAh looks like a beast! You know, sometime companies list their products both on amazon and ebay where from ebay you can buy it internationally when you contact the seller.
