Any decent high capacity slim batteries?

[shure2]

I know the note 2 had a decent battery life, but why not strive for better?

With the galaxy note 1 you could buy a certain gold battery that was rated at 3250mAh. I'm not sure if it's that high but certainly after 6 months use between the two I can say it gives an extra 10% any least. This would work with the original back door.

I can't see a post relating to another battery of that type here, does one exist?

Check out post #9. Gold batteries are such a scam it's ridiculous how they are still selling as they are. Anker, Onite, Q cell and Hyperion all make aftermarket batteries. They are all rated around the same as a stock battery. You are best off purchasing an additional battery to keep on a swappable cycle.

I'd also like to see some legit slim-sized batteries for the Note II that are ACTUALLY a few hundred mAh more.

I understand the idea of swapping batteries or carrying around an extra, effectively doubling your battery life. For me I'd like slightly higher capacity while keeping the same form factor. One of the points of a higher capacity is to eliminate the carrying of another battery. IMO its just another thing to think about and check for when I leave my home. That's just my 2 cents. As for the actual question, all I've been able to find is the 3950 mah battery from ebay which has already been reviewed and is actually similar to the oem.

In Germany the company "Akku-King" is selling a 3300mAh normal size battery for around 15€.
I got a 3200mAh Extended Battery for my galaxy s2 from their shop and it's working really great!

I would donate if someone could do some real tests on different batteries to see if any are worth buying

I will attest that Anker makes excellent batteries. I had 2 of them as swappable spares for my Mytouch 3G Slide and they were rated about 200 mA higher. They worked far better than the OEM battery did. I would avoid using my original battery.
Got a G2x later on and that thing killed batteries. I tried a few differ brand batteries and ultimately coughed up the extra money to get an Anker battery. Was the only battery that wouldn't be destroyed by my G2x.
If Anker comes out with a higher capacity slim battery, I'll definitely be buying.
Last thing, I also have an external battery pack for charging on the go, also made by Anker. No complaints at all with that product either!

I have a 3500 mah 3.7v Onite I would donate for testing.

Don't you think a corporation like Samsung, with the amount of money they have, would put in the largest and highest capacity battery that they can make?

Either way, get another spare battery or go with an extended. At best, you will have the same battery life with an aftermarket. Again, at best.

I would add in Pisen who also make great batteries - from experience, and reviews. They currently have the same rated mah as the oem and I'm waiting for a higher rated one from them, or either of the mentioned 3rd parties.

/\this right here. Batteries are the single biggest limiting factor in phone and is also the slowest evolving technology. Battery technology isn't like the rest of the technology in where something better always right around the corner. To my understanding the wall battery tech has hit is the cost to produce a better lithium battery is way to high.

I bought an Anker for my Note I & II and I did notice a difference that was enough for me not to put the stock Samsung battery back in. I don't have hard factual evidence of this but I thought that I should mention it.
