I am on the techno-challenged side, My new S3 runs very warm when I use it for a longish time, Do I need a new battery and would this be the one?

I don't think that means you need a new battery. But at this price, I think it's always good to have a spare, this one is terrific.

Sounds like you have GPS running (like Facebook's location services). I love my S3 but having said that you always need extra batteries. These seem to have a better life than the OEM. I had gotten in the habit of keeping an external battery around, but now I just throw one of these in my pocket and one in my backpack since they are so much smaller than an external battery.

Your phone shouldn't get that hot unless there's a problem with the battery... as long as the battery life itself is okay, if you can put up with the warm phone I don't think you necessarily need the extra battery. My factory battery gets very warm as well and it seemed to be affecting the battery life, so I bought this product. I've been using these batteries instead of my factory battery.

The batteries in this pack run cool. They also run longer than the default S3 battery. The only downside is that you will not have linking capabilities with other S3 phones, since the default S3 battery has this and these rechargeable batteries do not. I have only used that feature once in the lifetime of my S3. I highly recommend this product after using it for several months.

you may not need a new battery you may just need to turn off all your antennas like WiFi Bluetooth GPS but this is a premier battey by a great brand

It is normal that your phone runs warm when running apps. And this is "Batteries for Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, T999(T-Mobile), I747(AT&T;), I535(Verizon), R530(U.S.Cellular), L710(Sprint), fits EB-L1G6LLU, with NFC/Google Wallet + Anker® Travel Charger"

it dors run hot. But ALL the batteries I have used for this phone run hot. It's the phone not the batteries. This battery only gave me 2 hrs more life.

Mine only seemed to run "hot" if I were on a phone call for an hour+, but definitely not when idle. I've used it to take pics throughout a 45+ minute event and didn't notice it getting hot then.... Is yours running hot all the time, or are you only noticing this as you're using it (i.e. while talking / texting)? Also make sure you close apps you aren't using at the moment (flick up to close) as open apps require battery life to drain, which could be causing a heat issue....

Sorry , I didnt look , I bought one for an s3 for my wife and one for a s4 for me , the 7000mAh only fits the s3 the camera and light are in a different configuration , plus the s4 is a little bigger . I should of looked at the he battery in question , you will need the 7500mAh for the s4

This is a extended life battery. It hasn't appeared to get hot with me. Getting hot is one of the items that are listed for return or replacement. Anker will replace the battery. If it continues to get hot, after a replacement is installed, then something could possibly be going bad in the power adaptor or laptop. Unfortunately, the only way to verify if battery is working, is it will tell you in windows that the battery is charging at so much percentage. Anker can be contacted directly for troubleshooting issues. Anker is good people. I used them and they were excellent! I would get a replacement first and see if that clears up the issue. If it is the battery, this problem should go away. It is not unusual for batteries to get warm, but It should never be hot to the touch. Directions that came with your first battery, should mention about battery getting to warm. Hope this helps. Feel free to write again. Have a Blessed day.

The first battery I got with the phone, when used the phone, the battery got hot

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

I had nothing but grief with the QCell battery and back. The back was always creaky and the pins that held it on kept breaking. After about seven months, I noticed that the cover wouldn't stay on at all, and the battery wouldn't hold much of a charge.. That's when I noticed that the battery was swollen to the point that it kept popping the cover off. That was on my wife's phone. I got this battery:Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 Extended Battery Kit 3000mAh + Blue CoverIt was a little bit more expensive and at the time they didn't have it on Amazon, so I had to order it from overseas. But I've been rocking it for over a year now. It still holds a great charge, and it has never expanded. I had nothing but grief with the QCell battery and back.

No ... I don't think so ... I only run an S3 ... but the case is formed to the phone ... and your phone doesn't get that hot ... I hope. If it does ... I'd recommend checking what's wrong with the phone.

You should be able to hold the storage battery power that is not used in one sitting for at least a week. I have not used it after an on the go quick cell charge and then didn't use it again for as mentioned above.. A week and I still had the same charge it had when I turned it off. I think that heat and extreme cases of cold conditions definitely play a role. Obviously try to keep it at room temperature and not leave it plugged in past the fully charged Mark. This will extend the life of this great product. I have had it for a good 8months. And not a single complaint!

I live in a very cold place, this type (lipo) of battery heats up when in use, but leave out in cold without using will probably ruin them.

as someone who works on computers what I can say that I doubt that your battery is the cause a problem.I have had no problems at all with my computer since I got the new battery.

The current battery my wife is using is rated at 3.7 VDC 4300 mAhrs (extended life battery purchased through WirelessEmporium.com on Nov. 12, 2012). The new battery is rated at 3.7 VDC 4200 mAhrs. (Hyperion) We have not used the new battery yet. All batteries run hotter when using the GPS (both in Android and iPhones). This is due to additional power usage from more chips coming into play. One-tenth of a volt is not significant to make a difference in temperature. Your battery voltage will drop up to 0.8 volts from full charge to low charge values (Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries). The more power use you call upon the more current flow occurs (amperage). With all else remaining the same (resistance values of circuit traces, electronic components, etc.), the more heat you will get out of any electronic component. You will always feel it with your cell phone. The formula is W=I(squared)R. This means as resistance remains the same (R), and current increases (I) power will increase with the value of the current squared! Power produces heat in resistors or any resistive device. Therefore your phone will get hot. If you want to view the power formula involving voltage, it is W=EI. So as battery voltage drops current will increase to maintain power at the same level. So as your battery value decrease you have a linear relational change in current increasing. Again this will produce some heat increase but it will be insignificant compared with the additional current draw to bringing more components into play which are a squared relationship.

I bought Anker battery recently , as well. Until this morning ±I had no experience with lenth of use. Unfortunately I noticed that within 2 hours the battery ws empty. That should not be normal. Jaap

Had my charger plugged in for a few days with a battery from a recently purchased yard sale 18-volt drill. The unit was warm to the touch, but not hot. I have charged other batteries and they were warm when removed. The charger changes to a solid light when the battery is charged, and I usually remove it at that time. If it's getting really warm, I'd try a different battery if possible. If same result, then I would contact vendor or B&D; as a warranty issue.

Well, my old Samsung it use to get hot. I think was from the charging process. Um, also when I try to charge it the plug in my phone broke. So i couldn't charge it. I do not have a solution to your problem. But if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Please do not be too technical, I'm only 12

Hi there; If you keep the screen on continuously it will get slightly warm (but not hot) If your camera gets hot I suspect your battery will also be lasting a very short time. Best get a Fuji agent to check it out.CheersSimo (from middle earth)
