According some sources, this battery should fit our Galaxy S? Would love to find a shop located in EU to order from.

interesting. according to http://blog.sunpowtech.com/2011/09/05/samsung-hercules-sgh-t989-battery-eb625152va/ this is .5mm bigger than the stock battery. Whether that will cause any trouble with the back cover I'm not sure.. but I'm guessing it will fit without too much trouble.

Can you please share your sources which say it should fit???

1800 is 20% larger than the 1500 stock battery, so if you get around 3hrs display time (as I do with my battery - which i must add is quite old), then you'd get an extra 30 mins display time (and a lot more standby time).

This is a pretty decent increase unlike the 1650ma armani batt (only 10% increase).

Would love to know this too..

Incidently the Samsung link to the EB625152VABSTD battery from the OP is now a 404 ...?!??

buying from here, only 31USD (shipping taken into account)... lets pray it works lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] singletracking:
I'm keen to know if this battery fits. But (I don't want to be a downer) aren't S2 batteries a different form from S1 batteries, so it's likely not to?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
Theres a bunch of different variants of the S2. This is the epic S2 (from US carrier Sprint). Apparatntly the dimensions and some user posts indicate that it is likely to fit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] LacusClyne:
I think only the Epic 4G S2 uses the 1800mAh batteries. Went to a few samsung mobile phone stores and all of them are selling the 1650mAh battery (same one used on SGSL) If someone could get a link which sells the exact original samsung battery that would be great :)

The moment of truth, the battery has arrived :D

It fits in the phone perfectly. Now to see if it turns on!!! Will update with results and pics shortly :) (Just charging my old battery to max first).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DaRkMyk:
stop the suspense!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
heheh. Well here it is. Working absolutely fine so far! :D. It came with 48% charge so I'm just charging it up now.

As we already know, it is ever so slightly thicker than the standard batt, but it still seems to fit fine with both my original and third party back cover. It is also slightly heavier than the original (enough to be noticable with your bare hands).

Here are some pics.. nothing exciting..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tilgi:
Yes, this is the one I bought, too (at amazon.de).

I really do recommend using this cheap battery... the SGS lasts noticeably longer!

For around 12€ a great deal!

Looks great. I will try this out:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MortenJ:
I have tried it for some days now, and I'm impressed! My battery life has improved a lot. I don't know if my old battery was worn out, but this battery has given me more than 20% extra battery life.

I have been:

Texting

Calling

Playing games

Surfing the web

Downloading apps

Taking photos

A screenshot of my battery history:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yalouf:
I have an average of 5-6h of screen usage with the polar cell.

I used to have like 2-3h max of screen usage before.

I have like 50% more battery now. Best money i've put into my galaxy S so far, should have done it before.

I can't have a phone with less battery now, or at least i'll get a phone with removable battery to put this kind of beast !

Everybody should do it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] c_codrut:
Received my polarcell 4 days ago. I am impressed after first charge, 2 days and 13 hours, 4 hours of display, 33 min calls, and a lot of wi-fi and 3g with stock 2.3.4 and still has 6% juice.

Definetly better than stock 1500mah and better than armani 1650mah battery.

Thank you XDA members for the tip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jixbo:
I'm using a Anker 1800 mah (ebay) and I've improved the battery life for several hours. I'm really happy!

The packaging was good...now it's charghing (from 0%!).

I'll let you know my impressions in the next days!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] upichie:
Lots of info about this Polarcell 1800mah battery. Has anyone compared it to the 1800mah Samsung battery from the GS2 that fits in our phones? I have one of those, but you guys seem to be getting MUCH better mileage from the Polarcell battery.

Hmm!... Anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] onbacardi:
i need to buy a battery for my sgs I. So which one seems to preforms better?

polarcell or the EB625152VABSTD ?????
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] upichie:
Well I have the latter, but people are claiming 5-6 hours of screen on time with the former—the Polarcell. I can't get that with the latter, and I'm a tech-enthusiast that strives to squeeze every ounce of battery out of my phone.

So... I'd really like to here from someone who has compared them. But if the previous posters were being honest, I'd say the Polarcell is a much better deal. Although if they're rated the same mAh, I'm not entirely sure why the Polarcell would be that much better. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Ixox:
I receveived the Polarcell 1800mAh ordered a few days ago on cellphone . de

Cannot believe the price and the free shipping !

Thanks for the info !
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] R4DK0:
Ordered Polarcell here, the battery is located in Germany, so I should get it in a few days. Will post my impressions then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vinchent:
no positive impressions so far with the polarcell!

I charged the battery till 98%, then when it went to 50% I re-charged the battery but in 1 hours I got just 2%! I tried to turn the phone off, remove the battery but nothing changed.

I've just replaced the "old" battery.

What did I do wrong? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] upichie:
That sounds too drastic to be the battery, unless it's faulty.

Try calibrating it. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure. You could use an app to review the mV and see if anything appears out of the ordinary there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vinchent:
yeah it's pretty strange.

the app "batterycalibration" showed the correct voltage (98% and it was 4200mV).

I am gonna calibrate it. I'll let you know, thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] scorpion2884:
Is this battery compatiable with i9001
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yalouf:
I got the Polarcell for 1 month now.

Great improvement over the standard battery.

I can have 1 day with heavy use with 6hours screen usage and 2 days with moderate use with 4-5 hours screen usage, and auto brightness.

I never do light use with the phone :D

This battery with easy battery saver is a killer !
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] upichie:
^^^^^^

My goodness, that sounds like a lot more than I get out of my 1800mAh Samsung GS2 battery right now. Have you tried the GS2 battery?

I may have to invest in a Polarcell battery. :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Wololo7:
My original 1500mAh battery is quite bad right now - I get a day of usage with almost 3 hrs of display on, and I don't play games. So I ordered PolarCell. I'll post the results with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] davidrome:
awesome! xd
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Wololo7:
So far so great. The battery holds like it's a nuclear power plant. Half of battery within a day, when my old was almost dead (30%)

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] powerdams:
Four days with the the polarcell battery, and honestly i feel the difference !

Yesterday after a day with light usage, 3h music / 1h web on 3G / few calls & SMS...

On battery: 1 day and 43 minutes = 65% left :)

I have no problem at all with charger or anything.

It's a really good surprise for 12 Euro.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rep818:
Samsung OEM EB625152VABSTD vs. EB625152VA

Does anyone know the difference? I searched online, and the battery ending in "VA" seems to have CE imprinted on the label while the "VABSTD" does not. Are they interchangeable?

****ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION**** I just chatted with a rep at Samsung.com who said there is no difference in the batteries, just an updated product number, so we're good to go with either!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DeathMetalMods:
Should be! Its the same Case/Chasis. Should also work with the i9003
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] R4DK0:
Hi!

I've ordered and received the polarcell about a month ago. Before that I always carried my asus 1001px netbook with me, so I can charge my i9000. Now that I'm using the polarcell, I dont care about the battery whatsoever, having in mind that I carry the old 1500mAh battery in my wallet. In this time I never needed swap to the backup battery. Once I just swapped them to see battery percentage on the backup one (it was 95%).

This weekend I was surprised the phone lasted 3 days with minimal to moderate usage. My sister played Angry Birds for about an hour and battery firstly dropped for 5% in the next hour it dropped for another 5%. During this 3 days I had WiFi/3G turned on all the time with 100% brightness during the day and minimal brightness in the evening. Other then that I was browsing and browsing through xda app.

In my opinion, the polarcell is really worth those 13euros and I'm not regreting my decision to buy it.

I weighted the batteries and the polarcell was 3g heavier if I remember correctly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Dathen:
If you don't need additional battery that often I suggest keeping it at 40%~60% (closer to 40% - better). You'll slow down capacity loss.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vertron:
Just got my Polarcell today.

First impressions:

From what I've read I was expecting the thickness & weight to be more noticeable, but it's only very slightly thicker & heavier compared to the stock battery.

I got between 4 - 4:20 hours of screen on time using the stock battery. So I'm hoping this one will last me over 5 hours.

Update:

Battery has just drained to 90% after 40 minutes of screen on time. If it carries on like this I'll end up with over 6:30 hours of screen on time! Which is around a 67% increase in battery life over the stock battery as it stands.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vertron:
Screenshot of the Polarcell battery after almost 3 hours of screen on time:

The stock battery would have about 25% left by now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mike2587:
I just bought the polarcell and the results are impressive, with auto-brightness, 2G and push mail (10 mails/day), playing games/web browsing/youtube (2 hours at least)and keeping the airplaine mode during th night, the battery still has 25% after 2 days....this is awesome considering the price.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Imaginovskiy:
I recently purchased Anker batteries from Amazon. I'm currently doing about 2 days of moderate usage. Been Playing Angry Birds, NFS and Temple Run, doing some heavy web browsing and been making calls since 8am on the 9th June. Now its the 10th at 4pm I still have a good 40% to go and I'm playing music right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] upichie:
This sounds considerably better than the battery life than I'm getting from the official 1800mAh EB625152VABSTD battery. Would you mind providing screenshots and telling me the ROM/kernel (as well as governor/scheduler) you're on?

Much appreciated. Thanks. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Imaginovskiy:
Well I can't do a screenshot because I did cache and battery wipe moving from SlimICS 3.8 to 4.0. I run my CPU at 1200mhz with OnDemand and Devil 2 0.94. On that setup and moderate usage like browsing and games I get 36 - 48 hours between charges.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] upichie:
Sounds phenomenal. 36-48 hours up time with how much screen on time?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Imaginovskiy:
About 10 hours of screen on time. I'll try and get some screenies on the new SlimICS build.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] speedfreak007:
i've installed my new polarcell 1800mah. i charged it to 100% and wiped battery stats. is there anything else i should do to make sure i get the most battery life out of my new battery?

edit: the battery seems to be quit a bit heavier and doesn't stay put in the phone without the backcover -> don't flash a rom without backcover, because the battery will fall out if you pick the phone up :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Imaginovskiy:
Let the battery discharge to around 5% before charging so you don't wear out the battery within 4months.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] speedfreak007:
hmm, i thought it was bad to do complete cycles with li-ion batteries (cell damage due to low voltage). Anyways, seems like the battery has to settle a bit, because i'm down to 78% in 3,5 hours without doing anything but some texting and 5 minutes browsing; not even close to stock battery. But i'll wait one week before i complain :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] upichie:
Correct, mostly. You don't need to do entire charge/discharge cycles to keep your battery in good shape. Leaving your battery for lengthy periods of time at 100% or 0% (or close to either) will do damage to your battery though. Always, always, always store these batteries neither fully charged nor fully drained.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] speedfreak007:
After some days with my polarcell i noticed some things:

-the first 50% drains very quickly (like stock), but the last 50% lasts definitely much longer than stock. I don't have juicedefender or apps like that installed

-i got 2 days and 11 hours from it (including 3 nights on airplane mode) without much usage.

-my brother purchased a 2000mah samsung battery for his s2 (wich is also a 20% increase in capacity) and he has an overall much better experience.

I'm happy with the performance of the polarcell considering it costed me only 12 euros, but i guess that the official samsung samsung batteries are better (and more expensive).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vertron:
Just keep using it. My battery life is gradually getting better over time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Shocker580:
I buyed a new 1800mAh Samsung for my S but battery still dead after 16h with 2h about of display and some 30min 3G. I'm using last Elite RC V1.4.1.

How the f**k can you get 48 with moderate usage??:laugh:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] BlueFlame4:
Moderate use aka 3G off and standby, no pushes at all, lol. Seriously if you use your phone "moderately" with 3G on it lasts 15 hours maybe, but not longer. But that no big deal since it's totally normal for smart phones. If I use mine heavily (-> 3G on, navigation and radio stream) my 1,8 AH battery is sucked dry within 3 - 4 hours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Dropshots:
Does anyone knows the difference between the PolarCell and CellePhone batteries?

Except for the price..

Just go to the German cellephone (dot de) site and search for I9000 + cellephone/polarcell. You'll find the two batteries. One for 8,80 euro, the other for 12,90 euro.

Here's a update of my battery life using a polarcell battery.

I turn my phone off at night, so it lasted 2 day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] spookki:
If you want the 1800 mah from polarcell are good and not expensive, i bought this battery 2 week ago and i am happy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] BernieX:
Some months ago I got the Polarcell 1800. It was an improvement compared to the stock 1500. Don't know if it was 20% more, but I noticed it.

Later I got the Samsung 1800. Also good, noticed no difference to the Polarcell.

I charged the Polarcell 1800 not fully to 100% before inserting the Samsung 1800.

So the charging slopes of both are visible in the screenshots (first Polarcell, second Samsung).

Second Pic expanded horizontally and copied and moved second slope graph to compare.

Nearly the same, if there was a difference in capacity, there would be different slopes (I assume same charging current).

For the Samsung Battery it was the first charging, so there could be a little change after some usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bad_wolf:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sonof:
I bought the cheaper one for 8.8 euros. I received genuine looking Polarcell battery! :good:

I sent them an email before they shipped the product that I want a true 1800mah battery that I ordered and not some cheap battery just claiming to be 1800mah. That might have an effect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pckoloji:
Thanks for the post! I was using 1650 mAh EB575152LU instead of 1500 mAh default battery more than 1 year and it was not as good as at the beginning.

2 weeks ago ordered EB625152VA 1800 mAh battery and got it in 10 days. It is 0.5 mm thicker but fits fine. Capacity difference is obvious and i am very happy with the purchase because it was only 3.5$ + 3$ sending to Poland. (Free sending to USA)

Now on sale again, this time 4$ but still great, don't miss it! I might order one more :)

Why won't you just buy a Polarcell or Anker battery of 1800 mAh? Just search Ebay for them. The Polarcell should not be more than 12,90 euro.The
