i am 90% sure that we can use the 2600mah battery of galaxy s4.I hope that l`ll be able to write the result of the "experiment" until the middle of next week

Thanks. We are eagerly waiting for the test results!

Im interested too! Is the size of the Galaxy S4 battery comparing to the iNew V3 the same size?

Comparing the batteries i see that the connectors are not equal to each others..

The S4 battery has 4 pins needed (i guess then) and the iNew V3 only provides 3 pins.

S4 battery is shorter and narrower but the pins have the same polarity so i have a hope that the 4th pin it will not be used because i see also that official samsung external battery charger has 3 pins instead of 4.

But when can you confirm that the S4 battery works with the iNew V3?

Unfortunately I can confirm that the S4 battery doesn't fit properly in the Inew V3 . The battery pins on the S4 battery are placed higher than the pins of the Inew V3 , so they don't fit nor make contact with the phone pins (because of the of S4 battery thickness)

Unfortunatelly i confirm it too.Also i tried galaxy s4 mini battery that has 3 pins.It can fit in the phone but the phone cannot boot.It opens,shows the logo and closes.Same happen with galaxy note 2 battery.But this one if get out the extra plastic can fit very good inside the v3 battery case but too thick and we forget the back cover.
The only samsung battery i managed to boot the phone is this [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register].But it is shortest and we must put some tape in order to keep it in correct pin place and too thick,so cover dont close. Unfortunatelly i think we have to stay with original battery

What about batteries from THL W8, iOcean X7, Firefly IQ446, Gionee GN708? They are very similar to V3's and some provide 2100mAh. Maybe some of them can fit too, with some small modifications?

[chris_koz]

1830 vs 2100mah is too little for me.I will need to charge or change battery in order to have more than 20hours autonomy.That`s why i searched for something really bigger in order to have 40+ hours with one battery

I ordered the Gionee GN708 battery, don't know when i will it receive but i will test it. It's 270mAh more then now so probably a better idea.
