Extended batteries - thoughts / experiences

[Kubatko]

Hey, as many other people I find the battery life of Alpha not satisfying.

I have been looking at some extended batteries, anyone has any experience with these?

I am quite sceptical about these OEM batteries but if anyone had a good experience with them I would give it a try.

Cheers

Don't buy them. They are no better than the one you already have. Yes, I have tried one of them. The only extended battery that works is the one from Samsung (unfortunately hard to find) that is much thicker and comes with a special back cover for the phone. The ones you listed looks like the same size as the original (hence don't have to sell you a back cover) and they will have the similar capacity as the original regardless how they claim it.
