does the extended battery use the same standard charge that comes with the galaxy S2 phone or is a new charger required

Yes same charger. It really does make a huge improvement. Only problem is the back cover is very fragile. I dropped it once, and it cracked. The seller was a complete a-hole to me and wasn't willing to make any effort to help me out. I bought a separate cover, which doesn't fit very good. Have to unplug it to charge it (or cut the hole in the bottom to be bigger) and the button pressing becomes a chore. I would go with a different seller.

Same charger is used. The charger plugs into the phone just as it does with the current battery. The only noticable difference you will have with the extended battery is the new back cover and it sticks out more than the standard battery.

Hi! I'm unaware of an original extended battery for this device. Therefore, I'm unable to answer your question accurately. One thing for sure is that this battery is pretty big and makes the phone looks much bigger than it does with the regular battery installed

I have never used a extended battery I am on my second battery since I have had the phone I have had the phone for a long time.When I needed to replace the battery I bought one on line its a lot cheaper.

If the S4G battery is the same as the S2G battery then the charger would work. However, the charger I received, shorted out and ruined the battery it was charging.

I am not really too sure if the battery that comes in this particular package will fit that phone. In the pictures I found on Google, they look the same like mine. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 though. I am pretty sure the charger itself will charge the battery in your phone now. I would look up your phone on Amazon for the battery from this company, for your exact phone model. Model for my phone was found behind my battery on the phone itself. Power yours off and see.

No. I purchased a new battery and was unhappy to learn that I had to purchase a new charger due to a very slight change in design.

I use it for my regular S3 battery. If your extended use battery looks teh same I wouldn't think there would be a problem. It's works great with my regular battery.

When I purchased it was just a single battery, no extra charger. My battery charges just fine in the phone with the Samsung supplied charger

Unfortunately, battery port problems on S3 phones are common. You might want to explore buying a battery wall charger (very cheap, Hyperion Wall Charger with USB for Samsung Galaxy S3 / SIII (Fits OEM, Standard Size Replacment Battery, Extended Battery and 7000mAH Battery) less than $3 ) and an inexpensive replacement battery as a backup. Otherwise a repair involves soldering and not guaranteed to last.

Mine charges fine with the standard charger issued with my phone. Everything has been so far so good and I have had mine for several months now.

No, that is the reason I had originally purchased this item, in the picture shown it would, but the item they sent was just a standard sized replacement. DO NOT purchase this for extended batteries.

Per the instructions with the new battery you need to put new battery in cell phone and keep it on the charger for 24 hours. That's what I did and it works perfectly

Stop plugging it into a 1 amp charger. It's a 2.1a device. Charges fine on the standard charger from my s4. But older micro USB chargers it just hangs at around 2 bars.

You are able to use the same charger, but charge it past the 100 percent mark. It is a much bigger battery.

If the charger is the universal small plug that most phones have I would assume it would. Yes. But I'm not sure what charger the s2 takes.
