if you have battery with 4.2v and anker with 4.35v than its mean anker have bigger capacity than 4.2v

you must charge anker battery with proper 4.35v charger or use your phone to charge..if not then the charging process will be not maximum.

stock battery also have 4.35v

http://learn.adafruit.com/li-ion-and-lipoly-batteries/proper-charging

you must use a proper lithium ion/polymer*battery charger. The good news is that nearly all batteries you will encounter are going to be 4.2V. And you can use a 4.2V charger for both lithium ion and lithium ion polymer. If you ever encounter a 4.35V battery, you can always use a 4.2V charger: it'll charge it up to 4.2V which is perfectly safe.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KillaHurtz:
The anker battery pwns, I have 2 extras & used them on my Note as well. If you're looking for some added life without the extra bulk, go with anker, I got my 2 batteries for under $15.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iastonish:
Gotta agree, banker makes quality stuff
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
Hyperion make quality battery too if you dont mind the bulkiness, the problem is we all get stick to "brand names" but in actuallity I bet all these battery are made from the same place...take a look at MUGEN they are base out of Hong kong too. Look at your OEM they are made in china too.

point is, buy a generic brand, do what the factory setting tells ya and you should have good battery life.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
I might be testing SEIDO next, stay tune guys :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pagaldesi4life:
Def keep us updated! I just saw on their site that the extended battery is coming soon, can't wait! I bought one of their ext batteries for my original HTC Inc and that thing was a beast! It did add some hefty bulk to the phone but I didn't mind. Curious to see what the design will be for the S3. Hopefully nothing outrageous while keeping the beauty of the phone intact.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jimlmackjr:
Would like to know with the Hyperion battery with the bigger back can u use a belt clip
[Galaxy S III Accessories] realfink:
case

Yeah..I use the seidio clip with my hyperion extended battery and it works perfectly. You can find it on amazon its about 25 bucks. Just search for Seidio galaxy s3 clip.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
Hey sorry for the late replies, the anker been doing really really good but I'm a phone enthusiast so i switch alot ;) but the anker never did die, so about 3-4 months it still hold it charge, I can never totally kill it in one day.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
yes...but are you willing to pay that much for that little of increase?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aypeeootrek:
My gorilla gadgets 4500 extended battery just came in the mail today. Got it for $30 on their website black Friday. Has nfc too. I'll try and report back in a week after I go through the charge cycles. Tomorrow though I'll be on my phone day to at work so it'll be a great test with a full initial charge the first night

So OP would you suggest the Anker 2200 batteries over the Hyperion 4200?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
...depend on how much you use man, both company are good, hyperion is not as credible as anker because they are new, but from my testing Anker is holding up well after 4-5(?) months

Well done G1_enthusiast. Very scientific test. Much better then the standard, 'real world' subjective testing that is most prevalent on here.

I'd also really be curious about the MUGEN 2300mAh. Is it really 200mAh more?

Thanks again for the quality comparison.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
that i dont know, although i do had MUGEN brand battery before and they do live up to their names, however the price tag is a little up there. if you the ANKER is more realistic in term of cost.

The big battery is a different story, i think they worth every penny. on my SG II it repeatedly out do the SEIDO by 20-30 min of bench time but you are paying 30 more so ;) its all about how much cash you wanna put out :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mb27:

Update on Hyperion. Its close to a month and the battery is still going strong. Last night I had about 4 hours+ screen on Time and about 13 hours off charger...I know this is all relative but just want to give an update
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
wonder how the QCell stacks up side-by-side to Hyperion (both 4200mah and NFC)

what is the biggest battery without adding bulk? Car Dock, GameKlip, cases, etc all need the thin battery. Might buy extended for wife and take her stock battery as my backup.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
biggest as i test now is the anker. Mugen coming out with a 2300 but so far they have not gotten back to me with a tester.

I do not know about Qcell. Seido is in the process of coming out with one and they're USA base.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ticoops:

I find that OEM battery of galaxy s3 is 4.35v ! :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
I have ordered 2 QCell's -one for me and one for wife. I will keep you guys posted
[Galaxy S III Accessories] garment69:
Been using the Hyperion 4200MAH with NFC for about a week and the battery is a monster. Cant knock it down to under 50% after 16 hours off the charger. The phone is quite large though, but its a good trade off to have "no worries" battery life. Got the Hyperion soft case as well. IMO, its a must have. Best part of the battery is its 24 bucks. The Seidio, which is 3500 MAH, is 75 bucks. Not crazy about the way Seidio makes their extended back's either, kinda fugly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] graffixnyc:
I've been using the qcell 2300 Mah. They do last just as long as stock and I have been quite impressed with them so far. The charger sucks balls, but the batteries are very good.

I'm curious on how the Anker 4400 mah fairs against the Hyperion 4200 mah and the Qcell 4200 mah. I think those 3 would make for a better comparison if you ever get the chance to get those batteries :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
It's conffirm that anker is sending me a battery, the 4400 one. Will have result in two week if ya can wait that long
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
AnKer 4400 is in...wow the thing is a beast...might last a lot longer than Hyperion...initial charge is done
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 007shinobi:
Just a suggestion but I think you should list for each battery tested the stated MAH and whether it has NFC or not. It would just help the readers identify the battery more easily since for example, you tested the Hyperion 4000 MAH without NFC rather than the 4200 MAH Hyperion with NFC.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kbreese:
Just bought an Anker 4400mAh from Amazon today. Can't beat it for $12.99 shipped!:

Amazing to think you can buy 7 of these for the cost of a Mugen! Hopefully it performs well. Hoping to double (or close to it) the time I get on my new S3. As far as the extra bulk, i think I will like it in my hand but not in my pocket...will be a tradeoff, and i'll just use the standard battery if/when I really need it to be compact.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
result will be in tomorow for anker 4400
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
i still wish someone would compare QCell to the Hyperion with NFC and Anker 4400 to see how the three stack up and how much longer the Anker lasts with the extra 200mah and no NFC.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
why did you change your post? you originally had the hyperion as the first gen (4000MAH no NFC) then changed it to some strange hybrid 4200 MAH with no NFC. (first gen was 4000 no nfc, second is 4200mah with NFC)

also, why did you stop the hyperion early? you can see it stop before 0, yet the anker ran on at 0 for awhile.

I am confused at your results, and testing methods. perhaps some expalination would be nice, so we can understand what happened during the tests.

*EDIT*

also, why did GPS turn off for part of the anker test, and why did they both have different network signal outputs? were you walking around using your phone during these test?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
1.because i look at the battery to make sure the right advertise mah.

2. gps werent off, the screen pop up the 5% warning thats why gps was off but everything was running (off for probaly a min).

3. broken shoulder right now, will explain when i have two hand to type
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nicky041192:
Thanks for this. Been looking to buy the Anker battery. It's around £8 while the stock is around £15. I don't care for NFC as I find it useless at the moment.

Had the Anker for the Sensation and lasted longer than stock.

Then I found this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-2200m...W0/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1345832585&sr=8-18

Its by laptopmate but the battery style is different.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] 007shinobi:
Strange... I was sure it was 4000 mah without NFC. But, perhaps the 4200 mah with NFC made the battery better or something? But I guess Hyperion wouldn't send that one so we can see :(.

its all advertising gimmick to me. testing is the only way to know fo sure

Hyperion has one battery ATM in the 4XXX range, it is 4200 WITH NFC (i have tested the NFC and it works.) the amazon listing said 4000 without, but CHANGED the listing to 4200 WITH NFC. when they revised the design. that is why i ask why you changed yours from a rev 1 to a 4200 without, that is not the current battery... nor is it one i have heard of.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
Well the battery I bought was 4000 but taking a look at the label it 4200 I don't use NFC so I don't care for it not even sure how to test to see if I have it

[Galaxy S III Accessories] vikksterr:
I've tried the QCELL extended battery and the Hyperion. The Hyperion battery connector had to be pushed into the phone's connector to work. Which means tons of reboots. The Qcell came with a cracked back shell so had to return that as well. Gotta give anker a try.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
The only back cover the battery came with was blue. I have a white phone.. I'm looking for an extended white back cover. Willing to trade too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kbreese:
Got my Anker 4400 yesterday and I am thrilled with it. Both the battery and the back cover fit perfectly and the battery life is superb compared to the stock 2100!..I now can actually use my phone and not really worry about the battery life anymore. In terms of the size and heft it adds, I am kinda torn...I think its kind of easier to hold now and I kind like how it feels a little more beefy, but another part of me misses that really sleek slim size too, especially when I put it in my pocket. All in all though, extremely pleased. Can not beat it for $13...an absolute steal.

You'll have to buy one to test it. Mugen told someone they would send them one, but never did. And, they are way to expensive to buy one to test.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
Yep that be me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kbreese:
I'm no expert, but my feeling on the situation is Mugen does not want to be in any bang for the buck type contest and they would surely come in last place. Now I understand many people want the best and you can't put a price on quality etc etc, but you are way past positive returns on your investment with purchasing their overpriced batteries. As I said before, you can buy 7 Ankers for the price of one of their batteries. It's laughable.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
I wouldn't say that. There battery works good but is it worth 100 bucks ? Not really, on sgs2 their battery out last seido but not by much. I wouldn't buy another Mugen. If u got money to throw around thhen yea sure but for common poor type folks an anker will be fine and I change my phone a lot too so 100 bucks each time for a phone change get ridiculous.

I live in Italy and I can not find any store that sends Anker or Hyperion extended battery here.

I am looking for any of you who buy the battery for me and send me here in Italy.

In addition to paying the shipping cost (shipping cost of Amazon and shipping for Italy) I will pay you for the service.

Logically it would be better to find someone who has to buy for himself from Amazon so we can split the first shipping.

Thanks in advance and sorry again for this public request :highfive:

You can charge Anker S3 battery with any external charger, better with a 4.35V(average voltage is 3.8V) charger, because Anker battery for S3 is 3.8V, same as the stock battery. If you use a 4.2V(average voltage is 3.7V) charger, it's ok but can't be fully charged.

I also noticed that a lot of the "bad" Amazon reviews for the Hyperion Battery, with the white charger combo, target the charger as the source of problems.
