Extended batteries

Hi, I've read some contrary opinions online so I'm just wondering if anyone can clear this up. Is it possible to increase a batteries capacity without increasing its physical size?

I've read on post that says it is impossible and another that they bought a slim battery which claimed to be high capacity but was in fact the same as the stock battery.

If this is the case then I suppose these should be avoided...

Has anyone bought an extended battery?
 
Hi, be careful with some Gold wildfire S batteries on EBAY and be sure to go and have a look at the seller's negative feedback, I've just sent one back that was 30% too short to fit in the phone and therefore total rubbish and it seemed I wasn't the only person having a prob. Some of these sellers are selling 20k items a month, a lot of which is rubbish but they don't care. Molevision
