Battery options?

[dvus1]

ok so i have had the s3 phone for a week now and I am getting use to it. My question to everybody is what do you think the best battery option would be for extended life? 1- Get a second extra battery and just swap it out when i am in a pinch. 2- Get a bigger extended battery. 3- Get a portable external battery. Each one has there advantages and disadvantages just qurious on what your opinion is on this subject. Thanks

Option 1 would be most ideal. Its not suitable to have portable external battery at all places.

I would try to look for a reliable extended battery.
Having to carry a spare battery, take off your case, battery door, and switch it just seems like a hassle to me. Not something I want to do on the go when I'm in a rush since I'll probably end up dropping my phone or something.

I would go with option 1. You will have about 8 hours to find a table or counter top to spend 13 seconds swapping your battery. If you get an extended battery you are eliminating the use of many accessories/docks/cases, plus your phone will become very bulky. The external battery would just be bigger than I would want to carry around. I just ordered two standard sized NFC enabled batteries with a charger for $25 from amazon. I'll probably keep one batt at home and one at work, not very complicated or difficult for me.

I don't have a link, but you should be able to find it on Amazon by searching for Qcell batteries for s3. It was $25 for 2 batts and a wall charger, free 2 day shipping with Prime. They are working great, battery life seems on par with OEM, NFC works, the batery charger is slow but works fine

Thx I guess but that wasn't what I was looking for. He bought a specific battery and I wanted to know which one. If u think I haven't looked at all the Chinese knock offs on Amazon and ebay I have so sure I'm lazy I guess for wanting an link for a product that a fellow member has used

I say option 1. I'm thinking about doing the same. For now, using car charger.

A external battery charger will be a great choice for all the smartphones including Galaxy s3. It always contain several connectors to charge varied mobile devices.

The anker 2200 for $9 on amazon works great
