Has anybody had any experience with this replacement battery? At £8.99 delivered it looks like a cheap way to guard against flat batteries.

Its a bargain if it actually charges properly and retains the same as an OEM equivalent. Unfortunately most of these 3rd party batteries are pretty naff but I would be interested in your findings if you purchase one

anyone who had experience with this battery??
and how was it?
Yeah. I've been through just about most of the batter brands now save for the powerskin, which entirely underwhelms me.
The Yoobao seems about as good as the Momax and looks pretty good except the case suffers from the same problem in that it develops cracks very quickly around buttons and ports. If you were after a battery I'd probably get this or the Momax and then just get a cheap US$8 3000MaH battery on ebay for the cover, which seems to hold up better. The Momax does have the advantage of a little pouch (which this Yoobao cover also just fits into) so I'd probably go with that. Or just buy a spare battery and carry it around. The form of the phone is much slimmer without the extended batteries. If only someone made a good silicone case that fit the momax. Ah. Hope that helps.
Oh, and I say seems to be about the same as the Momax, as I've been swapping kernels and modems a lot recently so I can't report exact usage times....
If it is 3500MaH it should last longer. It is a tiny bit thicker than the Momax 2700MaH battery.
Yoobao
Hi,
i am using yoobao battery for more than two months, i am getting at least 3 days with MIUI, and for quality this is one of the best brand for mobile batteries available in china, also before i was using yoobao additional battery for my HTC legend for an year,
so i would like to suggest to go for yoobao as it is cheap and best when compared to momax,
in china the market price of yoobao 88 rmb, and momax 250 rmb, so i chose yoobao,

too bad, i bought momax already ...
any way you got a leather pouch(cover) with your momax, which will not be included in yoobao

doesnt the stock battery last for three days?......
Hi,
I bought a momax and yoobao in the same day(3 weeks ago).
I received the momax one week later(fast delivery,wow)and the yoobao i received it today (I live in Holland,not bad).
The momax battery is quite good (two days of intensive use, always-on WiFi and 3G, gamming, browsing, emails, etc..and 3 days with moderate use) and the case fits well (only a small gap next to the usb port) and the stand is perfect.
I cannot talk about the yoobao battery because I only received it today, but I can say that the yoobao case is not as good as the momax,I had to make some adjustments next to the buttons (with a sharp knife, lol) because it was upon the power and volume buttons and around the camera lens,the stand is not that great!perhaps i receivd a bad one,who knows.
the yoobao battery does not fit in the momax case, but the momax battery fits in the momax case.
My personal advice!go with momax,you get a Carry Pouch,or by both(like i did,not that expensive)and buy a extra wall charger,allways full charged batterys!

Has anyone considered doing the case mod for the anker 5200mah extended battery yet? I am on Verizon unfortunately so I still have another week to wait to receive my s4 but I currently have the note 2 and I use an otter box defender that I used a dremel tool to cut a hole in the back of the stock battery cover and the back of the hard shell of the otterbox so that the larger anker 6200mah will fit and you barely notice the silicone outer case having a slight bulge. I think it will work with this one too but was just curious as to whether anyone has tried it or is planning to do so like I am.
It may rather huge, am I right?
No more so than just using the defender case by itself. It's not really thicker just a little heavier which makes it feel sturdier to me lol
Any pics?
Whats your opinion on the Anker battery packs? I am considering getting the Anker® Astro3 as it is extremely versatile and 10,000 mah great for ER's
I'll post pics ASAP. I have gotten really good performance from anker batteries. From what I have read about people comparing the extended batteries, the mugen batteries barely outperform the ones from anker and for the price they are incredible. The mugen battery at the same mah was like 140 or so where as the anker was 20 bucks with shipping from amazon. I easily get 2± full days of moderate usage from my note 2 with This 6200mah battery. I know the one for the s4 is smaller but should still perform well.

Anyone have this case to know if it will fit with another battery? $70 for 4500 mah is a bit much to me. Don't get me wrong, Seidio is a great company IMO, but I don't make enough to merit 70$ haha.
So I was thinking the Hyperion 5200 mah battery would be great...but I hate TPU cases. So...if it could fit with the Active Extended...that would be the perfect setup for my S4.
Anyone have experience with it?
Thanks
That case just went to "Now shipping" status today (I've been watching it; last night it was "coming soon"), so I doubt anyone has it yet. It too occurred to me that the Hyperion/Onite/Anker batteries may fit, but since I've found Seidio to be such great quality and likely true to it's rating, I sprung for their battery. Having said that the others probably would fit, especially if you removed the back cover.

Well, I agree the brand is good. But 4500 just seems a bit low for 70 bucks
The thing with Seidio Extended is that they only make the case for the their extended battery cover. . So although some cases may look similar it may not fit the Seidio Extended Case. Just something to think about.

Well that's true.... Hmmm

You can call Seidio and order the battery door for their extended batteries for around $14.95. I have an S3 with a Hyperion battery and the Seidio Active Extended Case. I'm trying to check the dimensions of the Hyperion S4 battery, but have read that the Anker one is the same size as the Innocell that Seidio sells for that ridiculous price.
Can someone recommend me an extended battery for S5 with nice-looking case? Thank you
Samsung sold extended battery's in Europe but not US. Got one from a german ebay seller for my verizon phone and gives about 20% longer battery. Battery is bigger so some TPU cases might work...but a nice aluminum bumper certainly will.

Bought samsung extended battery EB-EG900 from seller rb-sale-s on EBay from Germany. 38$ shipped about. good deal looks legit to me. Get a slim bumper from ebay seller cyfentech and your good to go. By the way red looks awesome, silver classy too.

Thought phone was so light before battery now seems a lot heavier. But bigger battery is nice.
Would you prefer looking like the original?

Thanks for helping me. I decided the mpj 5600 mah battery and will review it later.
I bought the anker 7500 its a wicked case and battery so far .but I really wish I went with the unu.the unu you can swap batterys and its half the weight of the anker and only 15mm thick it will be my next one .I think they are on sale now
I like the ZeroLemon cases, they look pretty close to Spigen Tougharmor. No idea if they protect as well though.

Basically I'm aware that there are many Samsung Galaxy S5 extended batteries, and a couple ways to get it to charge wirelessly&retain NFC, but it's usually one or the other.
There is a MUGEN case with 5900 mah that is supposed to charge wirelessly, but it looks cheap and it has a lot of negative reviews, mostly due to poor case quality.
I'd rather buy one of the receivers, like S5 SlimPWRcard, but they also have a lot of negative reviews. Also, I don't know if it will work with one of the extended batteries.
I'm looking for a 3000-5000 mah battery that doesn't look ridiculous and has mostly positive feedback (hyperion maybe) and a way to make it charge wirelessly as I hate flapping the charging port cover. Probably a decent qi receiver that doesn't cause a bulge on the back.
Cheers.
i have the original extended battery from samsung.
i have installed SlimPWRcard and it works great to charge the extended battery.
caveat: you will need a bumper or a TPU shell, because the cover for the extended battery barely has enough space to accomodate the SlimPWRcard receiver.
Ive wondered the same thing.
But it seems all those 'sandwich' style Qi charging coils are just Not very reliable.
Theyre essentially hack jobs.
I prefer the original size battery and the genuine Samsung Qi charging cover.
Unfortunately, that Qi cover does make the phone extra thick and heavy.
Which in turn, means that buying a full phone case is nearly impossible.
Fortunately, theres 2 or 3 makers who make such niche phone cases.
Such as the "Diztronic Full Matte Black Flexible TPU Case Exclusively Compatible with Samsung Wireless Charging Cover for Galaxy S5" ..... available from Amazon.
