Yes it fits under the stock cover. They also have a 3100mAh battery and I know they have a 3200mAh but the 3200mAh comes with an extended battery cover. I'd rather keep this baby as slim as possible...

Where did you get the battery from?

I was out with my son for several hours yesterday and I still had 75% battery using the phone on 4G LTE for calls, testing and Web surfing. Even though it was not heavy duty use, I was still impressed with the battery life.

This is after I charged it all night. I have had this issue a couple of times now. WTF?

Anyone have an issue with the battery to where it just take FOREVER to charge? Seriously. The charger they give you is such junk. My phone has been plugged in for 2 hours and Ive gotten 5%? 5%! What is this? My iPhone would get 100% in an hour let alone 2 hours. Plus my car charger charges it 10x as fast.

Surely I cant be the only one with this issue

You must have one special iPhone. My iPhone 4 never charged fully in an hour, unless it was only down 20% or so.

My GS3 seems on par with numerous phones i have had in the past few years when it comes to charging times.

Could it be your battery in general? Some posters here have been noticing the batteries in their GS3 behaving poorly.

Note2 or Note10, that is the question

Oh my iPhone 4 had that quickcharge thing like all the iphones and charge extremely fast. What do you mean by note2 or note10? Im thinking of just trying to get a replacement battery from AT&T or something. I charged it all last night and woke up to it at 40%. I just dont understand

My battery lasts alday. Just charge it over night. I use it a lot and my screen brightness is at 100% I have stopped worrying about the battery and keep looking at what is draining it or how long its been going for. Just enjoy the phone and charge it when you need too :D

Might need to get a new charger... My phone charges from 0 to 100 in like 30 minutes... I got a charger from Radio Shack

I just dont see how it can be the charger. Its just a usb cable. I got mine plugged into a iphone base with the samsung usb cable. Its probably the battery more than anything.

I remember when I got the Moto-q (then shortly back to my blackberry) but motorola gave you both the extended and non. That was a nice feature.

I can't remember where the other thread about this is, but I resolved it by making sure that my ac charger (the part that fits in the wall) was the same voltage, wattage, amperage, etc as the distribution charger, and that the USB cable was nice and thick (and that includes any USB cable extender you may be using). In my experience, you don't have to use the ones that came with the S3, but you have to use ones with the same specs. My problem is that I was using a skinny USB extension cable with the proper sized charger and USB cable. Once, however, I managed to use a wimpy charger with thick cables and everything was painfully slow.
