Samsung to Offer Better Battery Option For Galaxy S III
2,100mAh battery can now be replaced with 3,000 mAh pack.
Samsung has confirmed that its Galaxy S3 will be able to support a 3,000 mAh battery pack to replace the smartphone's current 2,100 mAh battery.
The new battery option, which is priced at $64.99, has a NFC chip integrated and sports a new back cover to contain the larger battery.
While it's not clear exactly how much of a battery boost the new pack will deliver, it should be able to endure heavy usage throughout a full day, while average users should see it last for at least two full days of normal usage.
For some perspective, the extended battery is 100 mAH short of matching Samsung’s phablet, its Galaxy Note II, which boasts a 3,100 mAh battery pack to help power its 5.5-inch display.
Funny I already say that. Back when i was young my cellphone lasted a full week with a single charge. These days that crap can't live through one full day. But hey.. we got tiles/facecrap/apps/whatever...
And we'll smile and shake our head.
Batteries.. There is so much energy in matter a phone if converted can take out a city. Yet we struggle to have a big battery last a day.

The note 2 battery performance should be the benchmark.
Used to use a 3500mah extended battery in my droid incredible compared to the 1300mah stock battery. A lot of people had a WTF reaction when they saw how big the phone was due to the battery and said the thing was too big. I made about every single one of them shut up when i told them to show me their phones which all conviently had protective cases on it and were quite a bit larger than mine when put side by side.
Just wish my new phone had a extended battery option but so far so good it hasn't needed it.

Silly Samsung
The article was worded poorly. The NFC is on the backcover and not the battery.
No. The NFC chip is IN THE BATTERY. Your comment is worded poorly...
They will probably use the resident hydrogen in the air and last forever. Infinite battery life.
I run the stock firmware (4.1.1) and regularly have no issue going 2 days without a charge, and I keep brightness levels up. This thing smokes my old Thunderbolt in speed and up time.
