A happy user writes this in Amazon reviews about Samsung Galaxy S extended battery from Seidio: „Compared to the stock battery, this is a masterpiece.” And deservedly so because the smartphone gets new life with this battery. A widely known problem for smartphones in general is their short stock battery life that does not allow to utilize the full potential of the device.

The problem is rooted in the fact that the capacity of batteries is still volume dependent, and too thin batteries cannot accommodate too many milli-ampere hours. A longer lasting battery will always be bigger, and we need to be prepared to add some bulk to our handset. Thinness is still the main trade-off for sufficient power.

If the shape is an issue, you will have to resign to the phone being underpowered. Don’t waste your time surfing the Internet in an attempt to find a 3000+ mAh battery as thin as the stock one.

On the other hand, if the main priority is the performance, don’t hesitate to get Samsung Galaxy S extended battery of 3000 mAh from Seidio and start working and using your Vibrant or Galaxy as a professional tool. The annoying limit of less than 8 hours for modest use will be removed, and new horizons open so that you can take your handset with you on a mountain track and feel like in a temporary office right where you decide to stop for a while.

Another trade-off is the thin accessories. I do not mean the charger, ear-phones or similar things. They will work fine with the new configuration. What won’t work any longer is the case, holster or desktop cradle, or a car dock. They may not be able to accommodate the now bigger handset any longer.

The choice is again this: whether you continue using your trustworthy old thin accessories or get the power for going.

But the bulk as such for many does not embody anything harmful at all. The Samsung Galaxy S extended battery adds some weight and size to the phone. Together with the „soft touch” material on the back of the new battery compartment lid, they make the phone easier to hold and it gives the overall impression of more rugged and profound a device. Many of those having worried in the beginning about losing the thinness, finally end up liking the new size.

This battery will extend the time between recharges up to even 3 days when used for phone calls and text messages. But if you are an intensive user of the multiple features the phone offers you, like surfing the Internet, playing energy consuming games, gps, bluetooth or wi-fi connections, Samsung Galaxy S extended battery will still stretch out for at least a full day but most often a day and a half.
