Loving the extended battery!!

On advice from this forum I got the Hyperion extended battery from Amazon and I am absolutely loving this phone now. Before I would get a day out of the stock battery but would sometimes have to charge it in the evening to get me through to bedtime when it got charged overnight. Now when I go to bed I am usually above 70% charge with no change in usage!! :D:D

I also think the added thickness makes it easier for me to handle the phone, it fits better in my hand if that makes sense. I also got the Qcell extended battery soft case and it has the perfect amount of grip without sticking to things when trying to take it out of pocket and such.

If anyone is wanting longer battery life, this combo has been great for me. Thanks for the suggestions forum!!

Glad to hear! Myself, my wife and my father-in-law all got them and they really are great. Used em heavily over the summer taking pictures on the beach without worry of not having enough juice at night!

Does it have the NFC thingy inside the battery and could you link to the place you bought it?

The original review I read on here said it does have the NFC thing, but I cannot confirm that as it is not a feature I use. Here is the link on Amazon : Amazon.com: Hyperion Samsung Galaxy SIII 4200mAh Extended Battery and Sapphire Black Back Cover (Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S III GT-i9300, AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 Samsung i747, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 Samsung i535, T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 Sa

And the case I got for it: Amazon.com: QCell Samsung Galaxy SIII Extended Battery TPU Case for QCell Galaxy S3 Extended Battery-Blue: Cell Phones & Accessories

I couldn't agree more. I got the EZOpower battery, an extra back plate and the Seidio extended battery phone case. I dremmeled out a square in the back plate so only the battery poked through and the case covers it all. Nice and sturdy! I'm getting 4 days with light use and 2 days easy with heavy use. I also got the Screen Off and Lock app and that's made a big difference in my battery life.

Oh, and I highly approve of your avatar pic! :thumbup:
 
I'm thinking about picking one up, I typically get 14 hrs total/3 hrs screen time, but at work, where I get very poor signal, my battery is pretty beaten up by the time I leave work. I'd also like to start using Google Now, which has proven to be a battery hog, so I have it turned off for now. So, no one has noticed a decrease in performance over time correct? This just seems too cheap.
 
Guys,

If you live in the uk go for the mugen battery it's superb! Equally if you don't want the extra bulk go for juice defender ultimate.

The battery can be bought from mugen direct or from mobile fun but I believe they are out of stock, always a good sign...
