[Q] Galaxy S VS Captivate Battery Differences

---

Hi guys,

I come from a country where there's SGS, but no captivate...

However, i imported a set of the Captivate from USA.

At the moment, i want to get extra batteries for my captivate...

I'm just not sure if i could directly use a galaxy S battery inside...

Is this possible? coz if it is, i could potentially be saving 30USD shipping to my country.

Regular batteries should be identical, but extended batteries are not.

Actually, there is at least 1 extended battery (1800mah) available that is the same form factor as the OEM battery and fits the Captivate. I have one that I bought off eBay.

dude, i would recommend you to go to ebay and get a cheap battery. Works as good as the original ones.
and it just cost around USD$4
captivate and i9000 models are using the same battery.

Yes, i9000 batteries work great in the captivate as long as they fit within the case. Some extended batteries for the i9000 have replacement backs designed for that phone. They don’t look like they would work with the captivate because it has a different shape from the i9000.
