Default SGSII 1800mah battery, SGSI compatible for $20

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wire...roductid=28506

Confirmed by multiple sources to fit in Samsung Galaxy S I variants such as the Vibrant, Fascinate, etc. Since it's a Samsung made (read: Not Chinese hackery) battery, the 1800mah is all but guaranteed.

Have since received the batteries in the mail. They fit perfectly in both my Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Fascinate. Initial battery life tests seem to confirm the 1800mah listed on the side.
Phone/Rom/Kernel/Modem: Samsung Vibrant - AOKP Milestone 5 - Glitch v14 beta 6 - KB5
CPU Settings: 1400/100 Performance, Deep Idle On
Voltage Settings: Default, Medium Leakage
Launcher: Nova Launcher 1.2
Firmware: 4.0.4

I see no point in that as you can now get a 2000mah battery from Samsung. It makes your phone a bit fatter and comes with a different cover but it adds some decent juice.

I might get one later.

Wow, where to start. First, that 200mah requires a fatter phone. The whole selling point of the 1800mah battery is that it doesn't require a new battery cover, and thus does not require a new case. For the many of us with Otterbox cases and the like, this is very good news. I highly doubt I'd give up my Otterbox for a mere 200 mah. If I were going for an extended battery that required a new battery cover, I wouldn't aim so low as 2000mah, but would opt for the Momax 2700mah battery with the kickstand battery cover, or the crazier 3600mah upgrades on the market.

Secondly, this battery is SGS1 compatibility. The Vibrant, Mezmerize, Fascinate, Epic, Galaxy S 4g, i9000, etc all have 1500 mah batteries. To get a legitimate 1800mah battery that doesn't require an extended battery door is a real boon.

Received the batteries in the mail today. They fit perfectly into both my Vibrant and Fascinate, and initial testing corroborates the mah rating of 1800.

Can now confirm that the battery is not only legitimate, but holds up to the 1800 mah claims. Quite the steal for $20!

If the Focus is a Galaxy S variant, then yes. Otherwise, no.
