Need new battery?

[Kavan Sidhu]

Need new S4 battery M919 Tmobile. Not sure which is best? Lots of oem and third party on amazon. Not sure if any third party are any better. And can I go higher than the 2600 mah my current battery is?

I normally go with Anker or Hyperion, and I see a few different Anker packages for the S4.

You can use as large a capacity battery as you like (you are when you plug the phone into a car charger - that's about a 30,000mAh battery), but most of them are thicker, so they need a new back (which comes with the battery) and make the phone thicker.

Unless you need more capacity than you get between being able to charge, there's nothing to gain by using a larger battery. (If the battery gets down to 40% by 2 in the afternoon, and you're in the office, just plug in the charger until you go home.)

If you don't let the battery drop below 40%, it should last long enough that the phone will be worthless. (I'm still using the original battery in my 11 year old Motorola V551.)

My current is 2600 and this is 7800 so might try this. My battery lasts 2 to 4 hours at the most if I am constantly on facebook or web. And today it shutoff when it was at 33 percent in the car.

Just realized it does not support nfc. So I will get this instead. Still higher than my old one.
