Extended battery?

As everyone knows the original battery for this phone holds a ridiculous short charge,Samsung are really taking the p***.
Could anyone recommend a compatable battery that lasts longer than the original.I've checked out reviews on the higher specs compatables and it seems most people say they don't last any longer than the original one.
Been thinking of getting these Discount 1800mah Andida Spare Battery for Samsung S5830 Ace [bty021]- US$8.99 - OBOstore.com but do they last any longer than the original ones.:confused:
 
can honestly say batteries only last as long as the user makes them last. yes u may get couple of hours extra but thats it. My Ace can last 3 days on one charge, updated to 2.3.4, one home screen simple digital clock n 6 icons. hardly use 3G only 2g if necessary, mainly text very few calls. playing a game for a half hour can use up to 1/4 of the battery and the same as using internet on 3G. unfortunatly ANY Android phone is the same. NO battery will last long. just tone down use and you will see the difference
 
I wouldn't said that better ;) My Ace can last 1 week with calling and messaging only. If I use wifi and games, 3-4 days. Normal thing. Have you seen any notebook that can last 10 hours of gaming? I think not :)
BTW, dunno that battery will be better than original. Don't waste your money (unless someone bought one and can assure you that is really better)
 
Hi, I was thinking of getting a battery with higher capacity too. I found
1
THIS one eBay, it says it's 2430mAh, almost twice the capacity of the original battery, so it should last for twice as long too, I think.
But it looks very, uuh, Chinese :D (I know, I know, a lot of original and decent things are made there too, just kidding)

Would anyone recommend this battery? Or do you think it's too good to be true.

crap this battery is,and it does'nt last any longer than the stock battery.

Ah I see. There are indeed a lot of unhappy buyers. Thanks for the tip.
