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?

Can someone please post link to a good one, at a good price ?
Hi,
I own the Telstra Galaxy S III 4G, and am wondering if it supports wireless charging as the international GT-i9300 does. I have contacted Samsung, who replied:
"Unfortunately at this time the Galaxy S3 4G not currently have the ability to charge wirelessly in Australia at this time. This may change in future firmware upgrades."
Does this mean it would be possible to enable wireless charging? I have a feeling that 'future firmware upgrades' may just mean when Samsung releases an officially branded accessory, or am I being too cynical
Does anyone have anymore information?
Thanks

Same battery, same form factor, I'd be highly surprised if the GT-I9300 charging kit isn't compatible. But you know it requires a special case right?
There needs to be a 3000 mAh battery upgrade kit with a lime green flip cover and Qi charging support
Ahh, I didn't know it needed a special case, so there is a catch. And I have the lime green flip cover too :laugh: best one.
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?

Hello XDA,
Does this tablet have quick charge capability? I have 8.0 LTE model. Many thanks.
it doesn't list this in the official specs unfortunately...

No really but if you charge it with the S6 it will be faster.
I've had a Note 4 for about a year, usually using Quick Charge, so it feels like the S2 takes soooo long to charge :laugh: Honestly, I think the lack of Quick Charge is a good thing overall. I've felt like this was the case for a while, but now it seems like the general consensus in the N4 forums: Quick Charge is no bueno for the life and longevity and health of your battery. I just rotate between two spares in my phone and don't worry about it. I'm not sure if there's some trick to getting to the S2 battery but it looks to me like trying to do so would be a good way to bust some important hardware. Not sure if the lack of QC was a cost cutting measure or if it was intentional to increase the life of the device, but either way, I think we're better off.
Hi. My T813 (with snapdragon) charges very slow. It needs almost an entire day to charge to 100%. I read that it only accepts original charger. Is someone here who has T813 and an original bundle charger? Can you please provide the exact model? Is it EP-TA12EWE?
I have the T-810 model, and noticed that after the Nougat update, my S2 now takes FOREVER to charge. This is using the OEM charger I have used since Day 1. Makes me wonder if Samsung tweaked something in the software for slower charging to maintain battery health.
I just got t813 from eBay for a few days. I don't know how long it charges from 0 to 100% but when I use it and charge at same time, it still charge up. So I guess it charges fast. I use model EP-TA12JWE with Rapow cable. BTW battery life is very good all stock no root yet.
The day before the Nougat update came to my S2 9.7 (Monday for me) my battery stopped charging almost completely.
It's been on the Samsung supplied charger for close to 36 hours and is just now at 38% - and the tablet has been off the whole time!
Of course my 1 year parts/labor warranty through Samsung ran out almost 6 weeks ago.
It's a damn shame because it has performed flawlessly until now and with the exception of the sharp edges on the body I absolutely LOVE the tablet...
PS: I have the smaller 8.0 version as well (as does my wife) and the charging/battery life are as expected.

Updates..
Apple used to use updates to obsolete older tech so as to make customers buy their new devices sooner. Irony.

Interesting info, Mr. Niceguy.
The Drok device will definitely take some mah.
But I highly doubt an iPad will be better.
No SD card support. Hell no!

I'm not sure of the laws where you are but I'm fairly certain that in Australia that doesn't matter. Consumer law says something about "reasonable life" and manufacturers cannot limit you to 1 year for something like that. You should look into it where you are just in case.

In Europe they give at least a 2 years warranty on electronics. And some stores offer warranty extensions up to 4 years.
Personally, I think handsets should last at the very least 5 years, better yet a decade.

Unfortunately in the US it's simply whatever the mtg says it is - mostly 12 months parts/labor/defects...
Though, in the US electronics are even cheaper than in Europe.

I have the same issue
Or Samsung tweaked something in the software for slower charging so as to make you purchase the new s3 sooner.
My advice: avoid updates!
