Hey guys i found today these batteries and watched the review of them by droiddog
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/05/nexus-one-extended-battery-reviewgiveaway/
and i am very interested in buying one of these. i am currently getting 1-2 days of medium use and i day of full use with my desire and i am excited with more life. Actually the 1600mha seems nice addition without any bulk added (if it adds 5-10 hours) but the 3200mha is VERY usefull for trips or journeys without charger.
Did any of you tried these batteries ???? i heard that seido are not good but since droiddog recommended them i am into this A LOT.
Here are links to their pages:
Mugen Power 3200mah
Mugen Power 1600mah
i doubt anyone has tried the 3200mah in the desire as the battery cover will not fit
I had a Mugen extended battery for my Hero. IIRC it was 200mAh higher capacity than the original battery, so I expected around 10% to 15% better life from it. In practice though, it actually seemed marginally worse than the original HTC battery and certainly no better.
I've since found this site, and it very much mirrors my experience with Mugen batteries.
Regards,
Dave
Hmm, is there no other batteries to use to extend?

if you saw the video they provide a cover that fits with the battery. and i thought that since the reviewer actually tells it DOES make difference i found it an opportunity.,
my bad, i looked at the droiddog link and and not the mugen ones...
i saw "nexus one" and assumed you had linked to the same battery, sorry
Does seem like a good idea to me, review was nice, and i agree with the guy, having that back on would make it feel better in your hand.
But theyl never do a case like the back for the desire will they?
As the n1 bottom bit on the back isnt removable so it makes it easier, where is desire they would have to do a whole new back plate.

Is it true?

These batteries are not scam. I don't know where you get this guys?
I use the one for Desire, they've been reviewed in many places already and this guy from batteryboss is ridiculous in his testing cuz he got those batteries from ebay and thinks it's really Mugen Power. Mugen comes from Hongkong and has only one good reseller. Many batteries like other accessories are scam, so you just need to know where to order them.
I don't know about the 1600 one, but I've owned the Mugen 3200 for over a month now, and it has literally doubled my battery life.
You quickly get used to the extra bulge and weight, and it becomes a non-issue.
I ordered this one:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/catalog/product/view/id/605/
using mugen 3200 since 2 months, almost doubled battery life...
usually unplug phone around 8, i arrive at midnight with around 60% using facebook, bluetooth, music, market, gps, some calls and sms, google reader and browser... data connection always on, wi-fi sometimes...
the only regret is not having a rubber protection case, just the plastic one they give you with battery and backcover...
Just buy a rubber case and cut it to fit the bigger back.
Btw the mugen is good but the back cover is abit fragile. Open and close it too much and the tabs WILL break. Mines currently stuck on with a bit of blutak

I bought one of those 3400 mah batteries for the eris and I just wanted to see if anybody has found a case (like otterbox) that will fit the new back case?
I did the same thing and have been unable to find a case as of yet for this. Hopefully someone fines one.
Case solved
go to seidio web sight>HTC>Eris
especially for our set up!
I just ordered this case this morning. Should show up about the same time as my battery.
Just got this phone and love the battery life with the extended battery, but I really would like to put a case on my phone to protect it. Does anyone with the extended battery + larger back cover have case that works?
I searched around and I haven't been able to come up with anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's a long shot, but have you considered contacting Seido? Maybe they would know.

Yeah I did and they said they didn't make one at this time. I remember seeing someone saying they stuffed it into a case meant for the regular backing, but I don't remember the name of the case and can't find it again.
I haven't looked into it, but does the new Galaxy Nexus have the same layout as the Nexus S? If so, I might try and see if there is an extended battery case that fits it.
I just purchased an extended battery for my Nexus S 4G, this one specifically:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-3500mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B0053735IY
Now, I have no complaints with the battery, it's fantastic. However, the new back that it came with is very cheaply made, and I'm afraid it's going to break. I also don't really like the feel of the material.
Does anyone know of any cases that can fit a Nexus S 4G with an extended battery in it? I've been Googling around and have yet to find anything. I've pretty much just resigned to being careful with the back, but I figured I'd ask you all to see if anyone knows of something that will fit. I was using a silicone case before (tight fit, good to grip) but anything would pretty much be better than the back of this.
Thanks!
Did you have looked in Power-Skin?
I'd put the link but the system don't leave me... Because I have less than 10 post...
But one of my friend use it on a IPhone and he say its amazing...

You're probably not going to find any cases to accommodate the larger battery. Thats why I went a different route and got multiple 1500mah batteries. I keep one in my wallet just in case the one in my phone dies, I wind up with almost the same battery (3500mah extended vs 2 1500mah batteries) but get to use any case I want.

Bought a used Relay off eBay and the battery life is pretty meh, either because it's the original one and is run down or a knockoff. (It's an 1800 mAh.)
I'm running CM 10.2 and minimal background apps. Mobile data is off 95% of the time (I turn it on/off only as needed), and the same for wifi. It only charges up to about 85% and I can't even get 10 hrs off that.
I'm not looking for an extended battery, just one that will last longer than this one! There are so many "OEM" ones on eBay/Amazon that it's hard to find a legit Samsung battery (if they even make this one anymore). Any suggestions on where to look or brands of some aftermarket ones that won't catch on fire?
Thanks all-

I'm using that battery. I think u have to shave down the battery plastic near where the connectors are, but other than that it fits in the phone.
Oh and I also wedged a small piece of foam on the right side (maybe 2mm thick) just to keep the battery snug. Else it is loose and will lose connection with the power terminal if u slam the slider shut.
Yeah, I'm using that same PolarCell battery in my wife's phone, and did the same cut+foam. We've been through a couple cheapo "extended capacity" batteries, but the PolarCell one fits w/o having to mess with the case, and gives a good runtime (better than her original battery did when new).
There's a thread in the Accessories forum (I think) about different batteries, which is where I saw this one mentioned. You might dig through there for more history.
