2400 mAh extended battery - S740, S743 Accessories

If you need better battery life, get this one http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/product_info.php?products_id=540 from Mugen Power.
I'm currently using S740 just as a alarm clock, so the radio is turned off, but the battery life is great:
Main battery: 76%
Standby time: 133 hours 44 minutes
Device usage: 1 hour 8 minutes

That sounds amazing. But isn't this one of those batteries that substantially increase the thickness of the phone?
The picture is not clear; but then the EU site for Mugen power states this for their S730 battery

Yes, it comes with a cover that increases the thickness.
But my Rose is still alive without charging.
Main battery: 41%
Standby time: 303 hours 41 minutes
Device usage: 2 hour 27 minutes
Edit: Ended up with 404 hours and 3 hours of usage. The battery still was around 2% but I decided to charge it.

Phenomenal ! That may indeed be worth the aditional weight & thickness

Moneytoo:
Have been interested in one of these for a while now and since you own one I have a question for you: Do these covers look like the stock ones? I mean, is the lense hole covered and that little mesh thingy there? I think I saw one once and it didn't have neither. Which would suck, my phone collects enough dust/pocket lint/tabacco crumbs as it is, dont need two huge holes in the back..
Thanks,
.-ombre-.

Do these covers look like the stock ones?
Yes, it the same "Diamond" style, just extended cover.
is the lense hole covered
No.
little mesh thingy there
I'm not sure what you mean by mesh. All the two other holes are the same size as original cover and it has the shiny triangle around camera too.

Alternative
On Ebay there's an alternative available, called YOOBAO.
"only" 2000 mAh, but certainly cheaper

I have 4 batteries from Mugen Power Batteries, all have the correct capacity and the battery life is great comparing to the standard battery.
I have few of these cheap extra capacity batteries (for PSP for example) but no one has better battery life than the original one.
You can't go wrong with Mugen...

Battery backplate
Wish they'd redesigned the bigger backplate with a flat surface, instead of the PIA (pain in arse) diamond pattern - would make the phone much easier to use on a flat surface.

can anyone post a pic of before and after the extended battery? would love to see how much thicker it gets.
thank you

bigger better battery, would it run cooler?

I'm considering getting a mugen battery to improve my battery life, but im wondering, since it has more amperage, would it run cooler under strain? Aside from the fact that id be cutting the back off of my case for the battery room of course.
I'f youre reffering to the 1800 Mugen, then first of all you dont have to cut the back of your case. it fits in the g2 just fine.
Then again, no it wouldnt run cooler under strain. Basically from personal experience the mugen battery is just as good as the stock one. Most aftermarket batteries are lower mAh than they claim to be.
Not true, due to the high load and G2's metal battery cover... it will continue heat, however I did notice that it cools down a lot faster than the stock battery.
I was actually considering the 3600 mA battery, so I would definitely need to cut my case (which is fine, I might even just take off the back half and see how I like that).
I like to play emulated snes games for extended periods, and when I do my battery can get up to 105 degrees according to set cpu. I was just wondering if a bigger battery might hold up to the strain a little bit better.
my G2 Batterry is coming down
my G2 Batterry is coming down, i'm consider a big Mha batterry but Seidio not . and it like original batterry ?
Thanks
If you get the 3600mAh Mugen, it comes with a larger back cover to accommodate the larger battery and replaces the factory metal battery cover. No need to cut anything unless you're planning on putting a case over it as well.
Or just but a spare lol.

105 isn't actually that bad it's probably about average.
to answer you question: No it will not make your battery cooler.
The battery temperature is dependent on how you use the phone. The more intense you use it, the bigger the power draw, thus more heat. It might take a tad bit longer to get to the same temperature due to physical size and travelling of heat, but temperature is based off how much power is being drawn at that point in time and the duration of the draw.
I might be wrong here, but if anyone has a better explanation then by all means...
Sounds about right, it's science lol. Why use of energy has wasted energy in the form of heat. The more energy you consume three more heat is produced. Simple.
The back of my g2 with the 3600mah mugen never feels overheated, then again like everyone said u get a plastic rear cover

Review Mugen Power 3600mah battery

Hey everyone ! I recently got an extended battery for my Sensation for around $90 as it was much needed to meet my usage !
I thought I would share the feedback with you guys !
Mugen Power is a 3rd party battery manufacturer, and is known for it's "extended" batteries. If you’re an owner of a high end Android phone you too are probably facing a very poor power backup with the stock batteries and that’s where extended batteries come into play.
Basically, Mugen promises something near double battery life with this extended battery life, let's see how this extended battery fairs.
Unboxing
This battery comes in a very small, compact and simple backing - it has a leaflet with the instructions and standard warnings, a back door and the extended battery itself.
Look and Feel
We already know the HTC Sensation is not a very thin device in itself, and by adding the Mugenextended battery and the battery door, it does get noticibly thick - but for double battery life which it promises, the thickness can be bared - at least for me !
One would think that this battery adds a significant ammount of weight to the phone, but on the contrary it does not add any weight which can be significantly felt.
It's also nice to know that the backdoor cover fits perfectly on to the Sensation, and the feel of the replacement cover is not different from the stock one
However, with the extended battery users with small hands will find it a little difficult to hold on the phone for long durations at a go, rest shall be fine.
Performance
The li-ion extended battery which we were provided was rated at 3600mAh which is more than double of the stock battery on the HTC Sensation which is 1560mAh, so was the battery life also double ? Let's find out.
I have been using the HTC Sensation for almost 2 months now and with moderate usage, casual browsing, push email and constant interactions along with a lot of IM and calls, it did last me around 11 hours or so with moderate usage.
But on days when I had heavy usage, with constant data transfers on wi-fi or 3G along with lot of media playback, games, calls and IM - going beynod 8 hours was a tough task for the Sensation.
Now I did spend a nine days on the Sensation with the Mugen Power extended battery, and yes, it works ! And works pretty well following are the figures :
Heavy Usage : 2 days
Moderate Usage : 3 days
Light usage : 5 days
Now let me describe my usage, my heavy I mean constant connectivity either via 3G or wi-fi, 5 email accounts with push email and mails coming in every hour or so on all 5, constant IM i.e. Google talk and Facebook chat, off and on internet browsing, around 40 pictures shot, around 3 hours of voice call, lots of media playback (songs) and even video streaming.
My moderate usage I mean, data connectivity on 2G and wi-fi, push email, selective IM, and 2-3 hours of voice call, with causal browsing and media playback.
Light usage is more like a few texts, some casual browsing and a few calls in a day, with hardly any data usage - more like constant standby.
Conclusion
The Mugen battery is a very good buy and lives up to it's promise of increased power backup. It is a must have for hardcore users and the people who travel a lot, regardless of their usage patterns.
One would however have to bare the slight increase in the thickness of the phone, but amazing amount of backup one gets is well worth it.
But, if you are a light user, and mostly have the phone on standby with a few calls a day, Mugen Power is not for you.
Also note that the HTC Sensation has been known for the "Death grip" issues - but don\t worry the added thickness or the replacement door on the Mugen extended battery does not affect the signal receiving capabilities of the HTC Sensation.
Overall, the battery lives up to the promise of double battery life and has left me much more mobile fearless about the phone battery finishing suddenly !
Is it worth it though? You can buy 2 Chichitec 1800mAh batteries for $40, or other brands like that through ebay
The replacement battery door doesn't look the same as the original battery door from what I can see. Can you post some pics of your phone for us to see

The back cover is completely different than the original one... It feels cheap and it's not even on the same planet as the original cover.
Also the "8 MEGA PIXELS" mark under the camera is horrible. It's printed very bad and it feels like on fake chinese phones. The battery is awesome, but the cover sucks completely.
Just delivered. Very disappointed, though I have read negative impressions on this forum before... It decreases wifi strength up from 100% to 30%. When you're near wifi router it works fine (like in the video), but when you're 5 metres away from router it drops to 30%.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I understand, that their battery cover is extremely bad and doesn't allow to use wifi.. May be there are alternative battery covers for such battery?

Mugen has announced sometime ago on their Facebook that for the Sensation battery they have developed a new backcover that solves the signal issue. Contact them, they will replace it, they always do.

Anyway I checked the latest messages in the group and didn't find any mentionings. Only hidden advetisement. If they really replace battery cover to a working one, it's good. But right now I DON'T RECOMMEND to buy it if wifi is important for you.
if you get a powerskin and an anker 1900mah battery, you get the same total size battery power, but also have the ability to remove the silicon case and/or turn off the second battery in the powerskin to be used at a later time, and for half the price of the mugen.

a 1900mah battery is a better alternative than 3600mah? Imho, these are two completely different products that have different purposes. Btw, Mugen offers 1950mah battery as a slim battery alternative.

get a Anker or Evo 3D battery on top of the powerskin and you basically around the same amount of power as the Mugen.
plus you have the option of going slim with a higher capacity battery(anker/evo 3d) then stock 1520 mah and a gel case that comes with the powerskin.
on top of all that, it's about half the price... (powerskins around $40, Anker $10-15)
you tell me which one is a better alternative...

Isnt the 1900mah of the powerskin in addition to the stock battery? If this is the case it makes the two comparable in terms of capacity.

I guess, Anker is really targeting people by selling cheap stuff. I have a phone that costs 700$ and you think that paying another 100$ for a quality battery is a problem? Sorry, I don't believe in 10$ batteries because I have used them in the past and I don't support this idea. 10$ price can only be achieved if a company is cutting budget on smth important.
This is a well known fact: who pays cheap always pays twice.
Product placement
Wow, the OP sounds like a product placement or marketing. It is nothing personal but I read so much comments on Mugen...that it sounds like a rip off.
For my taste your posting sounds a bit too perfect. Like loose 20 kg in just 2 weeks.
I got an Anker 1900 mh and it is perfect. 5 to 6 hours with navigation or 24 hours with moderate to heavy usage...on sense 3.5 - stock kernel. What else do you want....I mean you are not awake for 24 hours...every day...are you?
Just my 5 cents.

I'm sure
My experience. Wanna to be objective:
Positive
Battery works from 14 (high usage) to 25 (low usage) hours. It's very good in comparison with 5-7 hours from original battery.
Cover looks pretty good (in comparison with mugen cover for Desire).
Negative
Wifi and 3G/HDSPA problems
Phone started to turn off sometimes.
If new cover solves this problem I will post the information here. Mugen promised me to replace the cover.
P. S. Your Anker refused to deliver me the battery a long time ago. What's more - they don't have a 3600 mah battery like Mugen.

hey, if paying more makes you feel better, more power to you buddy.
I currently use the Evo 3D battery. I can add the powerskin and I'd have about the same amount of power as the Mugen...
and as a bonus I won't have wifi problems(talk about cutting corners eh?), have a silicon case to boot, AND I would still be paying less then the Mugen setup.
I won't loose any sleep over paying less for quality accessories for my phone.
and regarding the Anker battery... just look at the Anker thread. so many success stories... doesn't matter the low cost, long as it works... properly, which it seem to do.
Good review! Thanks!

Best Extended Battery for Note 4? Hyperion, ZeroLemon or something else?

I've been looking around at the extended batteries for the Note 4. Which one do you consider the best?
Right now I'm leaning towards the Hyperion 8000 mah version.
The ZeroLemon does seem to have more capacity, but it does seem to have issues involving the battery reading because of the TriCell design? Can anyone confirm this?
I suppose then that would be combined with the ZeroLemon case. Unless a mod is possible?
By mod, this is what I mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530547
Anyone try something like this with a Note 4 Otterbox?
The reading issues are resolved with a custom kernel such as Emotion, which is patched to recognize the added capacity. I don't have the ZeroLemon or the Hyperion, but I do have this one and I quite like it. It is an off-brand, but I get exactly 3X my normal battery life with it, so it's legit and a good discount alternative to the ZL if you're trying to save a few bucks. I've tried to fit it into my otterbox but it's too bulky. Supposedly the official ZL cases will fit it though.
Zerolemon is pretty good. I don't really have any complains and I get anywhere between 10 to 19 hours of screen time on average with 12-15 being the average. The cover is very beefy and protective. The readings however can be inaccurate and when I sense this I just reboot the phone and it magically adds anywhere between 5-30%. There are some workarounds but they're a bit problematic. It's best to use a custom kernel that is especially tailored for zerolemon or extended batteries in general.
I switched to 5.1.1 on my 910C and flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/n910c-kernel-5-1-1-stock-tw-permissive-t3206548/ by shreqg2 and it's working well as far as battery accuracy goes. The downside is that it doesn't have the 5.1.1 stock kernel cpu governors and overclocking the stock kernel provides (it can go up to 2100Mhz on BIG and 1900 and 200 Mhz on LITTLE as opposed to 1900Mhz BIG and 1500Mhz (or was it 1300?) on the 5.0.1 kernel. I guess it's not really a big deal since I've been stuck with the lesser frequencies since 4.4.4. Hopefully someone can write a proper kernel with the recently released kernel source code but I'm not sure. Really though, a lot of kernels have extended battery considerations and I'm just testing.
Edit: added screenshots with the new kernel. Rebooting gave me about 5%. It's working very well so far but this is the first discharge since I flashed it. Looks promising. It runs very cool too.
I'm going to be getting the SM-910W8 as I live in Canada (decided to go with it after the disappointment of the Note 5 and because apparently, according to the carrier phone salesman I spoke with, the Note 5 has been having reception issues and they aren't sure if it's hardware or software).
Not sure yet if I will go with an AOSP or TW based ROM though. It's a decision I have yet to make. But so long as the ZeroLemon has the full capacity it should be good. I am tempted though to go with the Hyperion as it does seem to be a single unicell and I have an offer for a cheap Otterbox Defender (which should keep it thin and protected).
Any kernel recommendations for extended batteries and performance in general?
Happy with Anker's 6440mah battery I recently bought, % indicator is accurate and doubles my usage time.
The back cover is slippery compared to the original.
Hi, i take here my "long" experience with extended batteries for different phones. I used Anker and Zerolemon brands.
Since I started to use my Note 4 (last February) Zerolemon's customer care replaced me the battery (10000mAH) because the phone turned off suddenly after only few days of Zerolemon battery use.
The new battery has lasted working fine for about six months but since one month I still have problems even if they are not frequently like first time (now i'm still using the battery..).
I have noticed that when you press at the top of screen the phone turns it off or restarts and I think that is an issue that concerns the contacts of battery to phone. I applied a bit of tape to keep the battery as good as pressed into the slot to avoid contacts issues.
(Probably the battery is too heavy to warrant a good fitting...and maybe the 6400 Anker could be the best solution..)
However I noticed that even when I can ensure that the battery is fine fitted the phone turns off or restarts anyway. In these cases I think that is an internal issue this time.
I don't know if these issues concern only first stock of Zerolemon's battery and now Zerolemon has fixed the issues.
In my experience I remember that I've never had these inconveniences in my S3 phone with Anker extended battery and in my S4 with Zerolemon battery.
I'll follow this thread because I'm searching a best extended battery for my phone...
P.s.: I use Zerolemon case with clip/ holder
Sent from Note 4 device - Rome - Italy
Ive had hyperion extended batteries, zero lemon batteries, and others and I have to say Anker makes one of the best batteries for phones, period. Hyperion has some stylish cases for their extended batteries which I love but their batteries aren't one piece and more like 3 pieces attacked and covered with a sticker. I never had any problems with it but its not as good of quality as a zerolemon or an anker battery would be.
Anker extended batteries have a plastic back that holds the battery and is a much more premium battery. Also their customer support is superb. My Anker 7500mah battery went out on my GS3 once and I sent them an email and boom they give me a new case and battery free of charge.
Zerolemon batteries are also known for their quality but they don't try to hide the fact that they make brick sized batteries and that's a downfall in my opinion because a phone with an extended battery still needs to be managable and fairly easy to hold but Zerolemon's 10,000mah BRICK may hold tons of juice but isn't practical. But they still make amazing batteries.
There was a battery thats someone posted that fits our existing case. I am unable to find the link. I think the battery was 5400mha. Anyone what the wed site?

I'm a bit skeptical between the Anker extended battery and Hyperion battery, they seem to be about the same size and shape, and the provided back covers look to be the same as well, but yet they have different rated capacities? I only have the Hyperion 8000 mAh so, I can't fairly comment on this but does anyone have both?

never knew Anker made extended note 4 batteries (thought they only made replacement batteries). As its not listed on their website.
Anyways, has anybody heard of Dr. Battery? http://www.drpowerglobal.com/drbattery/model/samsung/sm-n910c/css249r.aspx#rp
says it's a replacement battery, but the capacity says it's 3500 mAh. But on best buy canada, it says it's 3000 mAh.....
Also has anybody notice that MYDE and Anker has very very similar description.
Anker:
We wouldn't give you anything less than the best. Grade A cells chosen from among the top 10%. Rigorous inspection tests to ensure reliability. A built-in IC chip to prevent against short-circuiting. Complete NFC functionality. What does this all mean? In terms of quality, you won't find a better replacement. Don't just take our word for it, though - type in any quick, power-related search on Amazon and see who pops up. As the leader in our industry for the last 3 years running, we know batteries.

hey guys i have been using the zero lemon for some time now, i think its been a year now i believe. it started acting up on me after a year, it would reboot on its own, i know its the battery because i used the standard one and it works fine, (im on it now) so i was looking to see if there are any better batteries, i found one chinese base and said its 5600 mah so when i get it, i will update and let you guys know if its a good buy. they said its standard size and it uses a charge of 4.4 but we'll see. just felt like giving my two cents. how is that ebay battery going since you have been using it? whats the amount of time you are getting on it? my main thing is to have it not run out of battery for just ONE full day. I can care less for a battery that stands 3 days since I do go home and sleep sometime and I can charge it during that time.

It might not be the problem with the battery going bad — I had the same issues: constant reboots after a year usage…
However I noticed it would always reboot while handling the phone — I'd put it down on the table, throw it on the bed. Got me thinking it might be some looseness in the contact — the battery seems tightly stuck in — but anyway I tried and jammed a folded strip of paper in the bottom edge of the battery compartment, so that a piece is jammed under the ZeroLemon battery and a piece on its side.
Since then — zero reboots — the battery is rock solid — so I think after a while the battery gets microscopically loose — it being heavy and all — and that causes the reboots. My paper fix solved that and it's been perfect since!

Yeah, "extended batteries" are a thing, been around over a decade
In this case (and typically) it's 2 regular dimension/capacity cells in one wrap, each with their own protection circuits and with parallel wiring between those and the phone. Dead simple, they're all over the place, DIYable quite easily and safely if you have 2 new batteries:
Just parallel up the +/- terminals, keeping the wires as short as poss (ideally even length to the phone contacts, personally I'd make it flexible enough to flip them over periodically to extend lifespan).
Then play around with thermo contact until it's happy (obvs the hotter battery is the one closest to phone and it's contact will already be connected so no worries there)
Throw on a fatter cover or mod and done.
Only "too good to be true" bit is that in theory when one cell gets tired, it'll drag the other down with it, because the manufacturer won't have invested in a proper charge balance system (no need IMHO, would just shove the price up, cost space and probably wouldn't restore enough use cycles to be worthwhile if you were using sub-"premium" cells)
Speaking of price - as I've covered, this "tech" can be done for WAAAY under 24.00EUR. And I guarantee you Mugen etc aren't spending more than a couple of bucks per battery!
Generic extended battery covers are cheap, available and all made to fit a doubled up battery - Only exceptions are tripled-up batteries (much rarer than they used to be) and once I found a cool N4 setup with a standard size cell hiding under one twice it's surface area/capacity (same thickness) making for a unique-looking triple capacity battery with the thickness of two. Maybe they went to the effort of a charge balancer for that one, but even if they didn't, who cares! Legends.
Couldn't say which off top of my head but one of the contacts will be NFC of course, (so bear in mind if anyone goes there)
what other best battery options are available with the normal size of battery so i can replace the original battery which is dead now.
It looks like you can also buy from mugen directly from their site.

Has anyone here used this battery before? This looks really interesting, especially the ability to use NFC with an extended battery.
I would guess a custom kernel will be needed to support recognizing the extra capacity when using a custom ROM.

Google Pixel Battery mod.

Hello, Maybe you all remember Nexus 5 battery mods. When people used to put G2 3000 mah battery in it. I did that too. It gave me 5-6 hours sot with kernel tweaking. Then others started putting in it 5x 2700 mah battery, some even put mi mix 4 batteries.
I have Google Pixel myself. It's in good condition, gives me ~5hours SOT, but it's battery is phisically big. I think there could be batteries bigger then 2770 mah which would fit in it. Today i opened friends Pixel 5" to replace battery and i measured battery compartment. It was in height 6.6 cm and in width 6.1 cm (In width there could be another 1.5mm available over antena cables). Lets guys post here different battery sizes and find big enough battery for our beloved Google Pixel phone to be worth it to make this mod. I already have battery board and i would make this mod to my pixel if i find about 3700 mah battery for it. Imagine 3700 mah battery in OG Pixel. That would be cool around 7-8 hours SOT with tweaking.
Lets share our findings with different battery sizes in here.
I have two pixels waiting for batteries in my shop and a buttload of batteries to try out, I have to say, the battery is pretty small, and we don't have much space there, but I'll come back tomorrow and tell you what I concluded

Wow cool. I am waiting for your post with more information. This is so cool that you have both: pixels and batteries. Maybe we will be able to breath a new life into our pixel phones. I do not get it why Google won't let us have big batteries. Even apple started giving their customers big batteries. Now google is releasing 5.7" Pixel 4 with ONLY 2800 mah battery LOL. RIP battery life.
Bad news buddy, I wasn't able to find a better battery for our phones, for the size, the one that almost fits it's the Galaxy s9 one, but as you may know, it's a rectangular battery so it's a little taller than the original one this one is 3000 mAh, the LG G2 Will almost fit but it's like 2mm taller, without the controller board it will definitely fit, and maybe then you can cram the pixel controller board on a side and extend the ribbon cable to connect with the main board, every other battery is bigger, or it's the same or less capacity than the original one, I have easily, 2000+ batteries on my shop, we never throw them away, we keep the good ones and we send the bad ones to a recycling center, today I went through every bin in the shop with the pixel and the original battery in hand to try out and that's the conclusion I got, sadly we don't have any Xiaomi or similar brands batteries, we have the main brands, but I will keep an eye on the new batteries that we acquire, because currently I'm using a pixel device as my daily driver and the killing point is the battery, I really like everything else.
Thank you very much for your time. I have high hopes for xiaomi batteries. They tend to put some good capacity batteries in small phones. Well battery technology should advance each year. Every other component is advancing. There should be batteries with more capacity in the same size then 2016 battery. If there is not i guess big companies do not do anything in battery compartment and it's VERY sad, because modern smartphones have EVERYTHING except good solid battery life. 10 hour SOT does not mean anything. No phone can get through 3 days. I do not mean power banks with attached phones like energizers 18000 mah phone.
Again thank you maybe we will get lucky and you find some battery with at least 3300 mah for our pixel. Maybe pixel XL has more chance getting xiaomi 4000-4100 mah battery mod. It's battery compartment should be bigger then 5" models.

with BM32 3000 mAh Xiaomi battery, this guy manage to have around 5h45min SOT
