Not yet but I'm hoping Seidio comes out with one for their soon to be released extended battery, (actually Seidio does have a "surface case" coming out but they typically only protect the side and back kind of like a glorified battery cover) Maybe they will produce an "Active" or "Convert" extended case which is for heavy duty protection. I'll post more when I get more info.

I got the Hyperion battery off amazon and it does show 4200mAh. I tested the nfc and it does work.

Here is my battery states will post more photos after full test.

Thanks for the find and reviews. So how does the phone feel with the added bulk? Just ordered today off amazon as well as the black honeycomb tpu extended case. Hoping that it comes 4200 w/ NFC as it only stated 4000. I'll post back with another review. I figure the more reviews the more we can get a general feel for consistency of quality.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mb27:
My first charge fully depleted a little while ago. It lasted from ~10AM Saturday to ~6PM Sunday (about 32 hours). Unfortunately I flashed an updated ROM in there which reset the battery stats so any screen shots would be meaningless.

I'm very happy with that time though for how much I used my phone. As long as team synergy doesn't release an update in the next couple days I'll be able to provide a screenshot next time :)

I've got some NFC tags coming soon so I can't wait to use those :D

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tacotino:
How long does it take to recharge the phone?? Cuz I want one.. I'm going to buy one, just wondering
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jev3gs:
It takes about 5-6 hours to charge. Either way I am loving this battery. I have been using it for a few weeks now and it does the one thing I wanted to do. It gives me all day battery life pretty much doing whatever I want. Right now I am at 44% with over 3 hours of screen (playing games and surfing). This is by far the best accessory I have bought for a phone period. I just hope it lasts. Finally I can use the phone like I want to.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cheeze[iT]:
Agreed. Loved this phone, hated the battery life... hate big phones but this extended battery fits into a gap in my hand that is created from being wide. Its like its meant to be :) love being able to stream all day and use the phone like no other and last with probably enough to go another half day ( or go out at night ) I just hope it doesnt take the 5-6 hours as you say to charge....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mb27:
It doesn't take quite that long to recharge it. I plugged mine with 4% remaining in at 1:15pm and had a 97% charge by the time I left work at 4:45 pm using the oem charger and leaving the phone on. I think the first few charges take the longest though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tabemasu88:
um....this battery said its 3.7v

and the oem is 3.8v...

what is the difference?

and will that affect the phone?

and how come mugen is charging 100$ and seido is charging 70$, but this one is like around 20$, will the quality not as good?

cant find the white 4200 NFC batteries in stock. anyone else order the 4000mah in white and get the 4200 with NFC?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] knightblaze:
On the fence about these but last night for some strange reason I went to bed and had like 70% battery left and woke up 5 hours later to a dead phone. Not quite sure what happened there, but that convinced me to buy the Hyperion battery and case (eBay and Amazon). EBay has the white battery cover 4200 may nfc battery
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nrgacias:
I really wanted this battery! But the problem is it is too thick for my otterbox which I just bought. I :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] akamajic:
That happened with the stock battery? btw, how do you like that Siedio Surface case and holster? been thinking of getting one myself?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] saywhat4118:
I have the qcell. Now the batter life is better than stock, but I think it looses some juice after couple weeks. I'm not getting the same battery life as I was in the beginning when I got the battery. I'm thinking of buying a hiperion instead.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jev3gs:
Unfortunately any battery that is going to offer more than 200mah overs stock will not fit the stock case. You just have to bite the bullet unfortunately. For me it was worth it. Heck now I am about to buy a Mugen battery cover for the Hyperion just so I can have a stand.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CorruptionDee:
I've had the battery for nearly two weeks, and I have no complaints. The stock oem battery guzzles juice in my experience. The Hyperion battery is powerful enough that even after a torture test of data, widgets, videos, and high brightness, it functions great. Once calibrated, you can easily get at least a day of heavy use on a single charge. For $20, you really can't go wrong. NFC works great for me as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robb01:
Just ordered, would like to get 2 full days, but that might be wishful thinking
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisbass:
Not at all. With light to medium usage I easily get two days with about 20% left. YMMV
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
where would one find such a case? I found the Mugen battery + cover but it is quite more expensive. and the mugen seems to be also a lot more powerful than the Hyperion batteries...does the Mugen case fit correctly over the Hyperion batteries?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
that isn't a case, it is the battery cover.. but you can get the bettery cover (by itself) on ebay:

Will the Hyperion and QCell TPU extended cases still fit with the Mugen battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Halmo:
Hmm I've got 5.5 hrs screen on time with the stock battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jev3gs:
It almost ordered a Mugen cover yesterday because I really want the stand. I stopped when I realized that the Mugen cover slopes differently than the Hyperion cover near the camera. The Mugen cover seems to start out tall by the Camera and then tapers at the bottom of the phone. The Hyperion cover starts slim and gets thick quickly by the camera and then slims out again at the bottom. I believe the tpu honeycomb case from Hyperion will not fit the Mugen cover because of it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaines:
Thanks for the insight. I just purchased the Hyperion extended battery and was considering other accessories, so it's good to know this case/stand probably wouldn't fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dovigoldberger:
Is there any holster that would fit with this battery ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] delsus:
Anyone wanna hit me up worth a link to get these in UK? Can't seem to find them anywhere on UK sites.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jkhawk:
But will the Hyperion or Qcell door fit with the Mugen battery? I have had great luck with Mugen. But I like the Hyperion case. I could continue to use the back door and TPU case from Hyperion if the Mugen battery still fit inside.

If the Mugen is too thick then you are stuck using their door, which at this time has no case for it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] leith51:
Not seeing any reason to shell out on an over size battery your comparison is based on a modified Rom.

Running pure stock unrooted phone with stock battery the times you have are not much different to what I get I can go 13 hours with light use and still have 83% left on average I get 24 hours with screen on time of 4-6 hours

I wouldn't waste my money to make my phone look stupid :banghead:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
well, to be honest, if you buy a smart phone, just to use lightly and because it looks sexy, I think the point of a smart phone has been lost. I like to get 13hours of REALLY HEAVY use! I was at a festival, and as a photographer (not with my phone) am always checking the schedule, and sending and reciving tons of emails and text about interviews.. blogging etc. with my phone stripped to just basic apps, underclocked and volted, but the screen has to be kinda high because its outdoors, the battery is dead inbout 8 hours. sometimes less. the 4200 lasted me all day and all night (after parties) and I still had about %30 left when I went to sleep at 6am (left at 1:00pm).

i don't think the battery is all that bulky, I'm a small guy and it fits fine in my pocket, It would be nice to have a skinny battery on a long lasting phone, but not going to happen today.

I believe in Function over form. I don't buy into the Apply mentality where Sexy is what you need, and function is just something that you have no choice over.

My S3 and it's stock battery fit somewhat lose inside it, so there may be room for the extended battery and a case. I'll add a post on here once I receive my hyperion extended battery and honeycomb case, which began shipping today from amazon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] leith51:
You totally misunderstood the 13 hour light use that light use includes internet use phone calls msgs and 20 mins gaming during my shift at work 13 hours!!! on heavy use a.k.a screen on 6 hours screen on WiFi GPS games 3g etc etc etc I still get 18-24 hours box standard phone

So forking out for a battery now to just make the phone heavier and get the same as Im getting now is a waste of money

[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
Well, if you have more apps, and use it pretty heavy, I rather have on battery, I can't get 18-24 hours on 1 battery, unless I have a charger around, and rather not fiddle with battery in the battlefield.

Just an uodate. I did indeed order the Mugen cover and it does not fit the Hyperion honeycomb case. It wasnt the slope that screwed it up though. It was the Mugen case is noticeably thicker. I would guess 2-3 mm thicker. So no way the Mugen cover will work.

Android reporting wrong size

Hello XDA'ers,

I was wondering if any of you are having issues with Android reporting the wrong size of this battery? Mine thinks the battery is only 2100 but in the past it was reporting as 4200. If it is a ROM issue (I am running latest Omega) is there something I can do or check? Thanks a lot.

I'd have to strongly disagree, but then again I'm running JuiceDefender and have some Tasker profiles to manage things like GPS. I'm only on my third charge cycle, but so far it's lasted AT LEAST 30 hours per charge, much of which is moderate to heavy use.

I'm used to plugging my phone in everywhere (home, work, in the car, etc.) and I'm loving the fact that I can plug in the charger when I go to bed then not have to worry running low on juice before the following night.

If your sticking with the battery door that came with the Hyperion I'd say get one of the two tpu cases that fit it (check amazon) another option would be to buy the seidio extended battery door for $15 and use a spigen lumi bumper or similar bumper
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lcrazyaznl:
got mine first week with crazy amount of battery life.

Mine seems to black out at 15% not sure if anyone gets that maybe my first cycle made it off?

I got the seidio case it makes the phone real slim! also add the draco s3 case gotta love it!

I'm on my fifth charge and I have a feeling that battery life has been going down on each charge. I'm following their recommended charging method.

Maybe it's CM10. Who knows. But I don't dig the added size, I'm probably just going to take this out for planned vacations and trips.

if you paint the inside of the flash area with a flat black color, that will probably fix the haze... might also try white. but it has to be flat.

I have the Hyperion with NFC, the back cover has cracked in a number of places with normal use. It's so loose I'm worried it will fall off on its own. I have a question, the Seidio case, does it also require that we also have to have the back cover?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
Call Hyperion. They've replaced covers free of charge before.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sanjsrik:
I wrote them. Thanks for the advice. I'm still looking for a non-TPU/Seidio case. There's got to be a good case out there that isn't just made for a particular manufacturer's battery that "happens to" fit the Hyperion as well. I wonder why they don't offer a mophie type case that includes this battery? I'd buy it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dragonsofcp:
I seem to remember reading somewhere in another battery thread that the seidio back cover fits over the hyperion 4200. So the extended cases from seidio should work too (only if you use the seidio back cover) .

Hyperion Battery Charger "Light Indicators"

Hello all,...I am new to the forum... I I have a Samsung GS III phone....its great!!!...I just purchased a Hyperion 4200 mah battery with the charger. Anyone know what the indicators (colors) mean? When I am charging the battery it has a "pink" hue does this indicating charging? Also does the "blue" mean charging is successful? I have been told that it takes at least 12 hours to charge initially. I did that (actually 14 hours) but when I put it in my phone it said only 91%....I elected to use it and let it drain and to try it again... I am told that I have to do this at least 3 to 5 times as to have the battery "memory" learn. I was very please with the battery performance during that time....got at least 15 hours...with more than moderate use...but reading messages in this forum...the numbers are outstanding....just want to make sure I do everything correctly as I want the battery to correctly used.

Thanks
