Ahhh sorry, when I got my phone I never even installed the OEM battery which is why I didn't notice :D

Hey, if its the same dimensions and only slightly thicker, that would be great, I did a similar thing on my original Galaxy S from a newer phone...

Anyone get their battery from Sunny Savers via Amazon yet? Shipping is taking FIVEever!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
Not received it yet but had email yesterday to say it has been shipped, hope mine doesn't take forever to arrive lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
i did expedited (quick through customs) through mobile fun on 3/4 and i still don't have mine. unless you got expedited shipping, yours will probably take as long as mine (7 business days and counting) plus 3-4 days to clear customs.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GideonX:
Just a heads up, incipio ngp semi-rigid case fits this battery. It is real snug, feels great.

got mine today...

It feels great in hands with the new back cover.

but it is adding more weight

the battery was 60% full

I'm killing it for a full recharge and a first test tomorrow

Any fitment issues at all?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] viking2.0:
Can anyone post a link where I can buy this battery with white case. I am in USA and I cant find the white case on amazon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr Woolf:
You will have to........

Samsung have much form in either very late accessory releases, or, more common, not bothering to release them at all.

I have zero confidence we will ever see this product. I will be VERY happy to be proved wrong though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redthunda69:
Att.com has these.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Burkissyou:
well thats the whole point of releasing those batteries isn't it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] benjimatt:
I think the whole point is samsung realized their battery was just too small lol. I doubt it will be the original size. I actually just ordered the Ontriron 3000 mah battery and it comes with an NFC antenna. I just hope its a little smaller then sedios 3500 battery

That's a nice case, I hope they make that with the extended battery

Hopefully it will be like the gnex extended battery. Slightly bigger but might need a different back cover. The original battery is good for me but having that extra 900mah is nice. See what happens.

that went from 1650 mah to 2000 mah thats only 350 mah

this will be from 2100 mah to 3000 mah thats a 900 mah increase. I just dont think its physically possible to fit it with the original case.......

I hope this is for real. I really would like an S3 with the battery life of a Note 2 without being twice as thick.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnr21:
Samsungs original 3000mah battery comes with new battery door, so it will be thicker.

Here is link to finnish web store (google translated), and it says that it's coming with new cover and batt capasity is 40% bigger than on original battery: http://translate.google.fi/translat...tehoakku-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-i9300-valkoinen

The usb cutout and mic hole are slightly off, but easily fixed with a little modification. Sides and edges are on real well, you can't even tell this wasn't made for this extended battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bb4arson:
I purchased it yesterday from amazon I should receive it in April 10-20. Once i receive it I'll make a worth wild review video and I'll take picture comparisons. I'm tired of seeing un boxing videos of just the battery it is quite annoying, we know what the battery looks like. We need to see it on the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
the ngp looks pretty similar to my silacrylic. hopefully it also fits, I love this thing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
I found that it also fits on another generic TPU case I've gotten from eBay. It's not soft silicone but it fits the phone with the extended battery like a glove, covering the entire bezel and all the cutouts are in place, including power key and volume buttons.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
Thanks for the link. Says the white back cover should be in stock in about 2 days. Will keep on checking until it's in stock. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
I just dropped an order for one of these after deciding I'm done messing around with the extremely thick extended batteries. I don't need bragging rights that my phone can last 2 or 3 days on a single charge, I just want to be able to make it through the day. I've also had bad luck with the larger batteries not holding charge, sometimes after only a few cycles, others a few months down the road. It will also be nice not feeling like I'm carrying a brick in my pocket.

Hopefully Samsung sees the large demand for extended batteries and releases them sooner with future phones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
Anyone got a recommendation of a car windscreen holder that fits this phone with the extended battery, I have an excellent one designed especially for the s3 but it's a no go with this battery installed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CFoote:
Thanks for the link, do you find the case material to be somewhat tacky so it grips in your hand OK?

Chris
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CFoote:
My extended battery kit arrived from Sunny Savers via Amazon :) :) :)

Edit: The ZooGue case works, but on my phone appears to block the bottom mic near the charging port. I will need to grab a dremel with a very small grinding bit and put another hole in. Other than that, it looks good and is a good start until we find something better.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
It's not a matte material, but it is not slippery either. It's a tad glossy and it does seem to attract fingerprints, but they are not visible unless you inspect it under a lamp. I can make a video if you want to see it in action.

Overally, I like it, considering that it fits the extended battery perfectly. Out of the limited choices that are available, imho this is the best, as I am not a big fan of soft silicone cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The Peterle:
AW: Confirmed for february: ORIGINAL 3000mAh battery coming.

One of the best thing i have ever bought for my s3! Indeed I had that case problem, but I found a case for it now. I prefer cellphone as employee because it's costs are only 30€.

Now my s3 make easily 2 days with 4 h screen on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scorchedsky:
Mine shipped today from amazon.de - currently have the ZeroLemon 6300 mAh, which is just absolutely ridiculous. I'll still use the ZL if I'm gonna be away from a charger for a few days, but between the OEM battery, this, and the ZL I should be fine for a week without a charger :)

Today I got my ZooGue Social Case - http://www.zoogue.com/galaxy-siii-social-case/ - (free shipping and only like $10). It fits like a champ! I'm no longer a paranoid freak that I'm about to drop it!

The back side is matte and neither slick or tacky. It has a sanded feel to it, giving a nice grip. The ridges add to a secure hold without visually messing with the aesthetic too much. A nice compromise all around.

I got white because I like the denim staining that's sure to occur, but they have other colours, if that ain't yer bag. The buttons work fine and I was able to plug in the usb & the headphones without having to modify the case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
So I take it nobody else who has this extended battery ever uses their phone in a car windscreen mount, surely I can't be the only one! Lol

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
finally got mine today from mobile fun. i also have the diztronic and it fits fine. the cutouts are fine on mine. i say take it off and try again. i even made a few calls on speakerphone and people can hear me just fine even though the mic is in the very corner of the cutout (vs the center).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GideonX:
Some adjustments will eventually get it to line up right. I think because the volume and power buttons are cut outs, there's lots of play on the sides. I'm using the incipio instead, much better quality overall.

My battery stats with the old one was about :

- 3 hours screentime on 4G (HPSA+)

- 4½ hours on WIFI

First day using this 3000mah battery :

I'm already accustomed to the new shape of the phone (I'm not using any case)

I must say, I'm very very impressed with the power of this battery.

So.. first day and only on HPSA+ (no wifi) : almost 5½ hours screen time

wow

Next weekend, I'll try with WIFI only... but with the current result, I expect 7 hours on WIFI

(stock-no root, google now is off, brightness auto)

btw charging this battery from 0 to 100% is 1 more hour (2.5 to 3.5 hours)

The site is set up just like the U.S. site, I guess I've used Amazon enough to know what's what. Plus just look at the words, many of them correlate to the English counterpart. Like the word " Einkaufswagen": wagen = wagon = cart (shopping cart), etc.

About the cost, it comes out to $50.67 total, shipping included. Yeah, not cheap, but I can use it with any case that I already have with only sight modification.

I just wish Samsung released the phone with this bloody battery in the first place, that way all cases and dedicated windscreen holders etc would still fit perfectly, yes a lot of cases still seem to go on ok but I expect all dedicated windscreen holders will be no good anymore, I for one am having trouble getting hold of a windscreen mount that can still accommodate the phone with this battery installed, it's a right pain considering I use my s3 a lot for satellite navigation when driving.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
will do. I ordered a zuegoo just in case. hopefully I don't need it because it looks inferior to the silicrylic.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Too many times I've been on vacation trying to navigate around while listening to music and taking pictures. By the time it's evening the phone is dead. In almost all of those instances I drove or took a cab back to my hotel to recharge. I bet gas and cab fare alone was over the price of this battery. So, all things considered I bet I saved money by buying it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
I have a couple of generic windscreen holders that still fit the phone just fine with the extended battery.

It's just a few mm thicker after all and the phone is not unusually thick with it on, any non-device specific holder should do.

Mine arrived today (paid for expedited shipping from Germany, got to New York in 2 days). Very impressive - it's really barely noticeable. I haven't seen anyone actually post the thickness:

Stock thickness: 8.6 mm

Stock weight: 133 g

OEM extended thickness: 11.3 mm (+2.7 mm)

OEM extended weight: 153 g (+20 g)

Very slight changes - the increase in weight is actually welcome, and the shape is great. The phone looks more like a pebble now.

I'll run it down and post battery stats later.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] onesolo:
Just lets hope that the batt for the S4 and/or S4 Grand Duos can fit on our S3... it almost looks like it can...

20g??!? How come?!?

I saw a video back here that showed that the new 3000mah batt only weight 1,7grams more than the stock battery... does the new back cover weight almost 18g more?!?

From Amazon.de - http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00AAXRILQ

Regular shipping was 13 euro, expedited 22 euro so I couldn't wait. Placed the order 3/12, got it today 3/14.

idk about that one, I don't have my stock battery here to test. For comparison, the ZeroLemon 6300 mAh batt in phone = 232 g. So +4200 mAh / 100 g = 42 mAh / g. For OEM extended, it's +900 / 20 = 45 mAh / g.

The ZeroLemon doesn't even have a back cover, and the OEM extended still manages to be more energy dense :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Anyone else notice the battery gets hotter than stock?

Also i am digging the diztronic case. It occasionally will slip a little on the side if roughed up in your pocket, but it's easy to snap back in place. It is def the only one thus far that doesn't require trimming the cutouts.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
i don't know much about li-ion batteries, but is the charge supposed to get better after a few charging cycles? seems like the first day for me was not all that impressive. yesterday i went about 16 hours with 2.5 hours of screen time including videos, pictures, and the biggest battery hog ever for a few hours, office talk free. i was at 30% by the end of the day but that isn't spectacular as i think the stocker would have probably been somewhere around 15%.

today so far seems better. 2 hours with 30m screen time and office talk free, 92%. i guess if you figure every 10% is the same that would be 20 hours and 5 hours screen time...better than yesterday.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:

I just received my extended battery today. Popped it in ASAP. Do I need to recalibrate or wait a full cycle before I see the battery strength because it's decreasing at the exact same rate as the standard?

I haven't charged it yet so it came at 60%

Also, can I plug this battery up and charge all night like I do with the standard? Or would that damage this one?

Just use it and charge it later tonight like you always do. You'll see a change in about two to three days.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Haha, no its only a 15% increase... ;)

From 15% to 30% is a 100% increase. 100% of 15 is 15. 15 + 15 = 30.

I ordered my battery from mobile fun on the 6th and it got here on the 15th. That was with the expedited shipping, although the tracking was beyond useless. The only thing the tracking did was tell me when it arrived at customs in the US.

I have miniscule hands, and I'm not sure if I like the extra thickness or not yet. It feels better in landscape mode typing, but I'm having a hard time using it in portrait mode with only one hand.

The battery came charged at 60%. I turned the screen brightness to max and played netflix on wifi with the sound off until the battery was 5%. It lasted 3:34, which is almost exactly the same as the stock battery got when charged to 100% and the same test was done. NFC has been working great too.

I

Yeah... But, batteries start at a 100% charge (not 30%), and a 15 point difference anywhere in the range of 0-100% is still 15%.

Same for me with mobile fun, and in fact I complained and they didn't give a ****. Give the battery a few days. Weirdly it seems to get better.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Doesn't matter. The increase in amount left after your usage is 100%. That 100% just happens to be 15% more.

That said, the battery is 42% larger, so you should get 42% longer battery life.
