I bought this battery from Amazon.com and also the Diztronic case (flat black).

Received it yesterday, so don't have data on how well it performs relative to stock.

It is noticeably thicker (and heavier) than stock, but not too bad. I will have to do a side by side comparison with a friend that has the stock battery.

I really like the Diztronic case. Wish they made it in Red too...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bradleyw801:
I bought this battery off Amazon, I went with the white battery door, because it shipped with Amazon prime. I actually kind of like how the white back looks on my pebble blue front. But that aside, this battery is the greatest thing to ever happen to my phone. I can tether, play games, watch videos, and still go to bed with 40% left. I use the hell out of my phone some days and still can't kill this in a day. I freaking love this battery.

Also, for those who may care, I am still able to use my Gameklip with it. It more snaps in than slides in, but it still works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Casutherland42:
Can anyone confirm whether or not the elementcase fits this?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] f308gt4:
Have had a couple days with the battery now, and I Love it! Don't really notice the thickness at all anymore, and it's so nice to have the peace of mind with regards to battery life. The phone is still thin enough to fit in my pocket. The extra battery life is well worth the small increase in thickness.

The only downside: It seems to take forever to charge to completely full (green light comes on). I've tried with multiple chargers, including the stock charger. Charging from USB is insanely slow. I wonder if it is possible to get a charger that does the job faster?

The Diztronic case is great too. I got the flat black version, and it feels nice to hold, and button presses work great. It pairs really nicely with the phone/extended battery. If the Diztronic people are reading this, how about a version in Red? Or maybe Red/black?

How much time with the wall charger?

With the original battery, for me, It was 2.5 hours for a complete charge and now with the 3000mah it is 3 or 3.5 hours... Not that bad
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Que1999:
Here are my stats:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Semero:
Battery life improved and it fits in most of my accesories (specially the samsung's original car mount holder)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
Im no expert, but as I understand it, the charging time is limited by the charger and also the software in the phone.

I know you can buy faster chargers, but you'll also need to root your phone and install a custom ROM that supports quicker charging times.

I also understand that the slower you charge your phone, the better it is for the battery long term. If you can, the best thing to do is trickle charging the phone over night.

Just make sure you do your research before investing any money or time into speeding up charging.

Hope this helps at all,

Oliver

If you're talking about the fast charge option some roms have, that only impacts the rate when plugged into a computer; it does nothing if using a wall charger.

Sorry I'm stating the obvious, I'm sure you know that so I am probably unaware.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
No I didn't know that, never worried about fast charging as I heard slow charging is better for the battery. I knew I read something about custom ROMs charging quicker, but I thought it was related to socket charging, thanks for your correction. I guess he can just buy a more powerful charger then.

Cheers,

Oliver

Nope. I tried. I even heated it to try to stretch it. No dice. Modified the original battery cover (cut it out to fit the battery) and the element case kind of fit. But it still wants to come apart.

Galaxy S3 + 3000mAh VS Galaxy S4

Which choice do you think is better in terms of battery life:

Galaxy S3 (i9300) + official 3000mAh extended battery or Galaxy S4 (i9505) + stock 2600mAh battery (with latest official ROMs)?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Scarface1991:
I freakin love this battery. With the stock one I couldn't get through one day without recharging a bit. The most I would get is 18 hours of battery life and 3 hours of screen on time at max.

Now with the 3000 mah battery it's a different world. Not only can I get through the day but I couldn't get it empty no matter what I did with my phone. This is the 3rd cycle and I'm at 50% after almost 15 1/2 hours and 2h 50 min of screen on time. I know people have reported getting up to 8 hours of screen on time with the battery but I keep my brightness at about 60% and I listen to a lot of music and of course I do the usual stuff too which includes a lot of texting and sometimes phone calls etc.

Has anyone been able to find any other case for this, beside the Diztronic, or a holster that fits ??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ARchamps:
For those wondering about the UAG case and the extended battery, I got it to work with a little modification. The round edges of the new door won't fit snugly in the case. I also went with no cover but there was a space around the camera and speaker. So I took the old cover and trimmed off the portion where the battery is. Works out perfectly. See pics below!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Hey Guys, I'm upgrading to an S4 and selling my S3 and accessories. Is anyone interested in the 3000mah battery (used) along with the blue backing plate and a blue Diztronic official extended battery case? Everything is in pristine shape. You can look back in this thread and see that I bought the battery from mobilefun a couple of months ago, so it is the official battery. I don't mind taking pictures if you want to see them, it's just a little tough since my only camera has this battery attached to it! :)

Amazon shows $50 for the battery and $14 for the case brand new, so I think $45 for everything would be reasonable (a $20 discount)?

Also/or if anyone can maybe answer the question: will it make more sense to sell the battery WITH the Galaxy S3, or should I separate to maximize my profit? I have the original 2100mah battery too so I don't have to sell both batteries with the S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
Be careful, selling stuff isn't allowed on these forums, I had a post removed and a polite message telling me why, when I did a similar thing

anyone knows if there is any white flip cover case available for this kind of battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
Not that I'm aware of.... the 3000mah is fantastic, but there are very limited options for covering it and keeping it protected.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] daha2002:
do they have this on red?!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] f308gt4:
Agree. The only cases that I am aware of are the Diztronic cases. I love mine, but I wish it was available in Red. I believe someone from Diztronic reads this site, so hopefully they can see this and get the hint... :)

I'd buy a red Diztronic case in a heartbeat.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
I brought a cheap case from amazon, non flip case but it can accommodate the phone with the extended battery. Still, I wish Samsung would have released the phone with this size battery in the first place, that way all the accessories, like cases, would be the correct size!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vuxx_estic:
Finally, a long lasting battery. Hopefully it won't arrive so late till S5 is out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jaytxvo:
Hey guys,

Not sure if this is a defect but for my first 3 cycles, I was getting great battery life 1 to 1.5 days. On my 4th cycle, I took it off the charger at 7PM, used it for an hour watching videos and then around 10PM, I noticed my phone was at 56%. I didn't use my phone since and went to bed at 1AM, I woke up and my phone was dead!

It said it got 8 hours on the battery, so it died around 3AM.

I am on my 5th charge now, I'll report back if I got the same results. Anyone experience something similar and should I exchange this battery?

update:

I put it on the 5th charge at 8:40am, I checked it at 9:03AM and it was at 30%, it seemed quick. I took out the battery to inspect it and put it back in, turned on my phone and the battery indicated I am at 45%.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] f308gt4:
Hmm, seems odd. Is it possible that you have a wakeloc? Any new software installed? Maybe try restarting the phone?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
Charge your battery to 100% that will recalibrate the battery stats, see if that helps,

[Galaxy S III Accessories] onesolo:
Are u sure it's the battery?? unless the battery was more than 1 and 1/2 years and charging it all days...

Let me tell you my story... don't have the 3000mah batt...

I'm on 4.2.2 leak. And I have a lot of apps installed, about 150...

At first, after I flashed that rom, on the second charge I got about 3 and 1/2 hours of screen, with about 1 day and 1/2 of total usage...

On these days, with almost no usage I get, during a normal day, between 8am and 22pm, 1 hour or at max 1 and 1/2 hour of screen time. Maybe I can get 2hours but it wont get me till 22pm...

You see, I have a theory that android sucks big time on this department due to various factors... with time, apps are going to kill you battery time... And if you have a big number of apps installed... then this will help a lot...

Try do make a clean factory of your current rom and you will see immediately what I'm talking about...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
It actually makes the phone feel like it has more quality, make, and balance in the hand... To original battery phone felt very thin and flimsy.

in my opine, of course.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Not for me, got this battery right when it came out and used it every day since. The only time I take performance hits are a) when I'm in bad signal areas for long periods of time (duh, right, but common in NYC) and b) when I got a bad app situation (google music + media server can get wonky on a few of my mp3s (my fault, not their's).

Hope you find the issue!

I have been using extended battery more than 6 months maybe.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
I've been using the extended batter for over 6 months, was more than happy with the life of the battery, moderate use most days and still usually had more than 40% battery by the end of the day. For the past few weeks I've been having some weird issues with my S3 which I mentioned in the following thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2516422 , I'd pretty much exhausted every thing while trying to fix it, except for one, going back to the original battery, now it's only been 24 hours since I swapped batteries but so far so good, time will tell of course but if my S3 works ok for the next week or so with the original battery then that will point to my extended battery as being the culprit for the issues I've been having with my phone.

Actually I have a favour to ask to those who've brought this battery, does the manufacturer date of the battery as stated on the back of the box match the date printed on the battery, mine does not and from what I've read online for legitimate batteries they should! I remember I brought mine from a market trader on Amazon uk, I prefer to buy from amazon themselves but when I brought it they weren't selling it, only a few market traders on there were and I wonder if I possibly got a fake one!

It shows that there is a replacement battery cover that appears significantly larger than the stock cover. :(

Otherwise I'd be all over this. Maybe you're wondering if you could manage to force it on anyway? I doubt it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] neo5468:
That's not true at all. The size difference is close to non existent. Check this picture:

http://prntscr.com/9nzn9r

As you can see, there is almost no difference, and my battery life is now close to twice as long. Phone actually feels a lot better in hand now that is a bit thicker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yiazmaty:
Yeah I've seen that photo and it appears to make the phone at least 50% thicker. To me that is a significant difference, and I doubt the original battery cover would still work with the larger battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] neo5468:
I am using it for 6 days now, and it is the best decision I have made for this phone. Bulk is literally non existant. I actually think that feel in the hand is even better. And the battery difference is astronomical. Check this album I created:

http://imgur.com/a/YU8K3

That few mm difference is not even a sacrifice. There is no disadvantage. It should have been shipped like this, not to be sold as an accessory, because when you are using the device, there really is no difference in thickness. I mean, look at this crap for example: http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/austintexwireless/ZERO_LEMON_(2).jpg

Now that is bulk!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yiazmaty:
I'm not trying to make it sound like the battery isn't good or worthwhile. Just saying that it is definitely larger than stock and it will probably not fit under the stock battery cover. 2.5days on battery... That's awesome
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tapewormlatvia:
Well, I have a wireless charger for my S3 and the 2mm thick/thin receiver that you put on the battery actually cracked the stock battery cover. So a larger battery would most definitely not fit.
