Accessories Where to buy legitimate OEM Battery for GS3?

[120inna55]

Searching Amazon has just confused me. It feels like eBay in that there are such conflicting reviews with the seller claiming the batteries are OEM and the reviewers stating they are not or they are old/used, etc.

I'm not locked into amazon, so I'm willing to look elsewhere, but purchasing directly from Verizon is a ridiculous price.

Where can I purchase a real OEM battery for my GS3?

I don't know where to get OEM Samsung. I went hunting for one for my wife, and couldn't even get a lead from Samsungs own site. I purchased an extended battery from Anker via Amazon for my wife's S3. New and works perfect. I have a portable charger from them as well. I don't know what they have for standard size, but the one I got was for $22 and comes with the replacement battery cover.

Yep, saw that already. Not OEM. I've no interest in larger battery. Don't want thicker phone.

EDIT: I went ahead and took the plunge on Anker's standard sized battery. The reviews look like their customer service is good and that they have a good product.

I figured that. I was more saying that Anker is a quality alternative. Here are some standard size batteries with charger for the S3:

We were simulposting. My only experience with Anker is with one of their power packs which is a quality device.

Simulposting I like that.

Why not an aftermarket extended battery? The stock battery lasts what? Maybe a couple hours?
