Mugen Power extended battery - Galaxy S I9000 Accessories

have anyone tried the mugen extended battery?
http://www . youtube . com/watch?v=iTJRyVjBw-g

Arghh makes the phone a real brick! I would've been happy with a 2000 mAH if it would keep the thickness down!

Ridiculously big! I agree, make a 2000-2500 battery and only extend the hump on the back only over the whole battery. Should still look real slick and doesn't make the phone look like a lunchbox

Agreed, 2000-2500 would be fine as long as the thickness can be kept down to a maximum of about the iPhone 3GS.
As the poster above said, ideally just make the entirety of the back plate the thickness of the Galaxy S's hump on the lower part instead of sucking inward anmd use the extra space for the battery.
My question is, can the batteries be made into different shapes? Because if the battery can extend out slightly why can't it then flatten over like the SIM card area to use all the space available under a raised back plate?

i will not buy the 1600 mAh one, it is pointless from 1500 mAh stock
however the 3200 mAh i'll consider for sure, unfortunately the size is a little bit ridiculous. it's like having 2 phones stuck together.
at least they include the back plate
too bad it looks horrible, maybe i could put some stickers on it, or paint it with some colour spray
- Edit -
Did anyone catch what's the price for the 3200 mAh with the huge back cover?

Great find, just what i've been looking for. I've searched Mugens website but can't find the battery, suppose will have to wait a few days.
Has anybody tested the life of the battery to check whether it does actually give 2x the life of the stock battery?
Thanks.

I WANT THIS
can't wait.

holy cr*!P that is ugly! however, i could be very tempted with such a battery, i previously had a mugen 3200mAh on my Nexus One and it would easily last 48 hours under my normal usage (sometime 3 days).
but yikes that does look really really thick - i wonder if all the empty space at the top of the backplate helps the audio on the phone. i can always kid myself
i knew as soon as i ordered a zenus flip case somebody would release an extended battery pack. maybe i should just get into the habit of carrying spares, or an external USB powerpack ... but an extended battery is just so convenient.
will have to think hard about this one!

i can use all that empty space to store like 100 micro SD cards to take my entire DVD collection + my entire Audio albums collection LOL
or simply store an extra 1500mAh battery inside as a Spare!

I am now a sad panda.... $99!
http://www.mugenpoweronline.com/product_info.php?products_id=790
still debating... imagine all he things I could hide... I could store my entire sdhc collection with that....

i love how they always do their best to hide the "thickness" - it's like we're all obsessed with size zero phones when in reality a size 16 can be fine ;-)

Edit: actually thing I most dislike is the "5 megapixel" text around the lens hole. why?! who cares! trying to pretend it's a compact camera perhaps :lol:

99.00$ and you can have such ugly brick... No, thanks!

$99 is a bit much....
and the thickness doesn't help in the decision better
i got 2 authentic G7 1500mAh battery for only a quater of that price
it's easier to take some extra batteries in your pockets, than carrying a huge thick phone

Anybody bought this and tested it? Would love to know your views on battery performance and size.

is there a way to mod the case to include some sort of led flash? lol, its big enough

yeah, this is an excellent idea!
more than enough space to fit in an AAA battery + LED light

this is definitely something that i would get. the thickness would not bother me, as i would only use this when out hiking, and would switch back to the normal battery/back at other times.
$99 is a bit much though. i think i would hang on for the price to come down a bit.
it would be better it the battery was shaped differently to have a larger surface area once it gets past the plastic surround where the battery sits in the phone. that would allow the same 3000+, but should shave a good few millimetres off the thickness.

lol i wish they went with something slimmer, something around the same thickness of the bump at the back. even if it can only accomodate 2000 to 2500 mah

Makes it look like a brick. Add a high wing spoiler with gold Mugen badging then we're taking.

3500mah battery now available

Hey guys,..well Ive got the Cameron Sino 3000mah battery,thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789679
But just found out there also now a 3500mah battery available..so I couldnt help myself and gave it a go.Just bought yesterday so will take a week or so to arrive.
This one as with the other high capacity batteries also comes with a custom back cover..but instead of the all fat ones like the Cameron Sino one the top bit where the speaker and camera are is still slimmer..only the bulge where the battery is is fatter...personally I think that doesnt look as good as all fat cover (not as natural..looks more like an add on) but I guess with this way there's no black edges on the corner of photo's like some people are reporting with the all fat ones.
Anyway..there's a few sellers on ebay selling them but this is the cheapest I found:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3500M-EXTEND...092212?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0b1d3df4
Ha ha...I see its now USD $13 posted..yesterday when I clicked by now it was only USD $10.99
For me about AUD $11.48..(since current exchange rate is great now the time for us Aussies to buy from the U.S )
I bought it on Ebay for 11 Euro.
Looks good for long trips

Damn,he's now dropped the price again.This time down to USD $10.15! Thats even cheaper than what I paid..come on guys...gotta try it for that price..
I have already got the Cameron Sino 3000mah battery, but at 6.61GBP i thought i might as well order this one. Might well be a load of crap and might not even arrive, but its worth a go
Exactly.
I got the 3000mah Cameron Sino one too but had to try this one for that price.
Plus,dont forget,the back cover is a little different. Only the bottom section is fat,the top,where the camera and speaker are remains thinner so anyone who had complaints of the Cameron Sino all fat back cover making black edges around photos and the speaker a little muffled shouldnt complain here.
(Despite looking a little worse though I think)
Does anyone know how long this battery can hold a charge for?
would it be about 2.2xs longer?
Does anyone know a case that fits this? Preferably one that stays permanently on like those silicon ones?
What i don't get is that all of the extended batteries are so BIG..
Why not make a battery that is about 2 milimeter thicker and a case that only is bigger above the battery compartment..
In other words if you extend the 2/3 mm high hump on the regular cover about 1.5 inch on the SGS, you would have more room to put in a little bigger (2200mah) battery and you would still have a nice looking phone..
I would also like to know if theres any cases available for this size format. And its so weird how the capacity is ~2x more, but the size is 4x more lol.
My god, grrrr more batteries to buy! I'm starting to have way too many batteries. But its sooo cheap!!

Hmm.. A li-ion Polymore batter could be moulded to almost any shape and hold just a tad lower amps.. But they tend to be hell expensive compared to brick size li-ions that we rock. Iphones use li-ion polymore batts. But yeh, What i'm saying is taht we COULD get a decent size and shape but it would prob cost 2-3x more. I would love a batt thats say 2mm thick and cover whole back of the device which would maybe give it about 2500mah or more.

Gee,I see the prices have increased.When I bought mine you could get them for under USD$11 posted. As I did.
I have 3500mAh baterry now. It can joice my phone for a week, but it is kinda heavy and ugly, so I am using it only if I have to leave town for a weekend. It can survive even hard usage, playing games, and such. Took it from eBay.
I got mine delivered today. Charging as we speak. I ran across a site that exposes fake batteries and worry if this 3500mah battery is really just a big 2000mah battery now. Heres the site. What I noticed is that these ultra expensive Mugen batteries are so lowly rated. It seems that OEM batteries are best but they don't have a 3000mah battery! Hmmmmmmm

I just took the red wrapper off of it and it fit snuggly
In terms of weight, does it change much? I'm thinking about picking up this battery if it's a drop-in replacement.
I just purchased, thanks.
Well, it's certainly cheap so might as well give it a try. I highly doubt it's even close to 1800mAh but hopefully it'll be more than 1300mAh and won't die after 50 cycles.
i wouldnt trust it since it from china, they been known to switch out label
Can you let us know what the battery life is like, compared to your normal battery, please? I am interested, but have heard too many tales of batteries that promise more but in fact deliver less. It would be great if this gave even 25% more over the standard battery!
Here's some independent testing that shows a lot of manufacturers claims aren't always that true:

thanks for the preview pic, on how to modify the battery. I purchased a battery for $5.98 USD! Cant wait to test it out.
Just curious but did you have your internet on the entire time you were doing the test run? I normally turn off my internet and activate it when needed, when I do that battery life for me is about 20 something hours, with mild usage (gaming and phone calling).
any more updates?
I just bought one. I will update you guys when i get it.
I ordered one. Wth for 8 bucks
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app
I bought one from mugen site and it is awesome althought it is a little bit pricey but i think it worth. I charge it over night. Unplug it at 7 am and carry with me untill 10pm. My wireless was on the whole time. I have 3 email setup as default. Running sense ui so i believe there is some process running at the back ground. I only make about 30 min to 1 hour call. At 10 pm, i still have 35% life.

Just received mine. Removing the tab means it'll go into the space but it still won't fit quite right as the battery is slightly too thick for my cover to go back on.

Same problem here. If u take the red wrapper off i dont think it matters because the black plastic cheap outlined housing is the problem. I think i wasted 8 bucks
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6
Yeah, I've taken the entire thing apart (piecemealed it together) now and while the cover will fit it still bulges out because the battery itself is a tad too thick.
It was a cheap experiment though so I'm not choked. The lesson here is that Incredible/Evo batteries don't fit our phones =(

Powerskin for dhd

engadget PowerSkin battery case pumps juice to HTC Inspire 4G, Desire HD http://engt.co/lvDmVr
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Saw this on engadget too and was seriously contemplating getting it. Tho I wonder how much bigger this will make the DHD feel
I was just going to post on it! You beat me. Seems like a win-win. I'm already using a Mugen 1500, so if I add this (which is 1500) for a combined battery life of 3000, I should never have to worry about battery life again. Here is the direct link if anyone wants to check it out. http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1508des/htc-desire-inspire.html
Just saw the post on engadget as well, looks promising, hopefully it doesn't make the phone to thick, but would be a excellent thing for travelling if nothing else!
They just replied to my comment on their facebook page that there will be international shipping soon!

Wished they shipped to Canada. For $60 I'd give it a try!
I have a question look at the specifications Powerskin it is 5V, the problem is this is compatible with our European phone with a 3.7 V battery?
person to answer my question? thank you

It's universal, USB power is ~5V. All batteries in all DHDs say 3.7v remember that all this extra battery is doing is providing power via USB, therefore it needs to be ~5V.
Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.

Doesn't seem any thicker than with a Case Mate Pop case. I have one so I'm sure I can live with this.
Sent via 1s and 0s through time and space using my Defy.
It needs to be 5V to appear as a charger to the Desire HD. But I see several issues with this:
-The Desire HD will be in constant charge mode until the external battery discharges. Only then the internal battery will start to be used.
It's not good to use a device while charging, this reduces the battery life, so this case will reduce the internal battery life.
-Being 5V means that the case internal 3.7V must be pumped to 5V and then reduces again to 4.2 to charge the battery. Pumps and regulators usually have a 80% efficiency, so 1500 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 960. Expect a battery improvement equivalent to 960 mA, not to 1500mA.
Still it's a great accesory for some situations where you spect to have a great consumption, like hicking with GPS, 3G use while moving, etc. And when the external battery is discharged you can remove the case and have the device full charged with its original size.
You can also turn the case off so it won't charge your phone. Then it doesn't charge the phone constantly and the internal battery life won't reduce that much.
Thanks for that picture It does look a bit thicker, but if nothing else its nice to have with you for weekend trips etc when you know you cant charge.
Does it work like a charger in the way that you can turn it off untill your internal battery is almost depleted, then switch it on and charge up the internal one (if you leave the phone idle?) or does it not really charge the internal one, just keep the phone alive on the extra battery?
Anyone tried this yet or has ordered one already? I'm really interested in this, but since I'm only 16-years, I don't have the money to try something out with a chance of not being worth it .
This too thick for my tastes, i like my dhd thin.

It's a fascinating idea, but - converting inches to cm - that is about 0.8cm more, for a phone that is just about 1cm deep. In fact, the manufacturers do mention 0.8cm as a generic add-on. That's a lot of bulk...
For all-day GPS-intensive stuff I take along a 5000mah power pack that does the job nicely, which you just unplug if you need to make calls etc. Back in the bag, and connect it back up
Though I'm sure this powerskin will meet the needs of some people out there.

What Power Skin Is?
Power Skin is a battery case company for all kinds of Phones to the iPhone, Samsungs, HTC and BlackBerry.
They go for around $80-50 But with a Coupon Code you can get a 20% OFF your Case.
Now What is a Battery Case You Say?
Well its like a second battery for your phone or a portable charger. The downside is it adds about 8mm more thickness to your phone,
its a soft/hard case because some of it is soft but the battery part is hard, It protects your phone and charges it
Whats so Special About this Battery Case?
Well some battery cases dont have a on/off switch which means it charges phones when you don't even need it to be charged,
and since its always on sometimes taking off the case of the other companies, will waste power slowly,
because its sending power but some of the charges become weaker and weaker and then boom 1% lost.
Ya it may not seem like a lot but leaving a case on for like 12 hours it could lose around 10%-15% battery you could have used on your phone.
Do I (ME) have a case?
Yes all of my phones i have a bought a case, there great for our android phones.
Why should i even buy one of these?
Dont tell me you havent been at home or something and your phone dies and all you need to do is send one important message or call,
but guess what your phone is died well turn on your PowerSkin and boom more power, Thats why!
How Long do they last?
This is the question i get asked by friends and random people, Well you really cant say but with a Battery Case at 100%,
Well its 250 Hours on Stand By, But again thats tested on a brand new just out of the box no background apps or
anything running in the background, And About 280 Mins talk time
I love U!
Well that's cool....
What does this Thing look like?
They sell them so far in all black with blue lights on the back to notify you on the battery, here are some pictures.
What should i Do Now?
Well Click the THANKS BUTTON!
Then..... decided if you want to buy this or not
COUPON CODE!

And again because look at some kid go crazy and say "I BOUGHT THIS AND YOU BROCK MY PHONE"
I am here just to notify and give you knowledge about this not to force you to buy this or anything like that, or somehow break your phone?
not really a fan of these.
copped one and it made my phone extremely hot.
It looks like carrying a fully charged extra battery would take up less room in my pocket than one of these giant cases.

I actually ordered mine yesterday with 2 day shipping People complain that makes the phone way thicker but the way I see it this phone is so thin and light that when holding it for awhile watching a video or something is kinda uncomfortable for my hands so the extra thickness and weight would be a good thing for me. How long does the battery last you? Also is it contantly charging your phone or it has a button like the "mophie battery pack" for the iPhone that allows to charge whenever you please
well i haven't actually checked how much it makes it last but it adds about 3 hours to your battery life and yea the extra thickness and weight is good for me as i have big hands so this phone feels even lighter in my hands
I bought one of these, and quite frankly it's not worth the extra bulk.
The GS4G looks awesome, but with the PowerSkin it just looks nasty.
Yes, it was helpful in adding about 30% battery to my phone but that's about it, sadly.
The amount it charged wasn't that beneficial to me.
30% more battery is not worth the bulk to me. the sleekness of this phone is just too nice and with all of the help from the amazing devs and modders, i want it looking as nice as it runs. instead of a powerskin, why not look into juice defender? one member posted 50+ hours from using it and it almost doubled my sister's vibrant battery life (1.78x normal).
edit: great find, btw, iTzAlienX. dont mean to take away from your post. just another option.

JuiceDefender has some awesome reviews.
Probably worth a shot.
And about the powerskin, it had a nice smooth texture, but the fact that it was silicone meant that it would attract pocket fuzz, and also "stick" to your pocket while taking it out.
Still not worth it, take it from a two month owner...or so

I'd highly doubt that compatibility. Either way, nothing was noted in the manual which was included with the case.

PowerSkin® for HTC Desire HD & Inspire 4G

Alright folks, don't know if this has been discussed before, and frankly I can't browse through threads atm looking for it, so here it is. It's a a power case for your Desire HD/Inspire 4G with an extended 1500mAh battery to make your life easier.
I've tested it some time ago but never got the chance to actually post anything about it because I just don't get enough time. The case is very rigid and provides the ultimate protection for your device. The only downside is the fact it is enormous.

The price varies between $40 and $47 so if you think this can help save your phone, go ahead and buy yourself one.
You can grab it on amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/PowerSkin-Pro..._1_8?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1330464202&sr=1-8
Be fast they only have like 4 or 5 left in stock.
Of course if ya think this post is useful, hit thanx. Won't kill ya.
PS: I am in no way affiliated with the company that is making this so if ya think I'm making money here, I'm not.
read the reviews on amazon... it sucks...
As panyan says... it sucks... I tested it for a week and then it went back to amazon...
The Quality is quite good, but it makes the DHD really fat... but i knew it before i purchased it and this wasnt the real problem...
This this batterie was supposed to last as long as the internal batterie does, but for 50euros (in germany) you get a silikoncase which makes your phone thicker and a really bad batterie that lasts for 7 hours... in IDLE!!
My DHD "survives" sometimes up to 2 Days (When its IDLE most the time), so a battery that used to have more capacity then the internal one lasts only 7 hours?
FAIL!!!
I loaded it more than one time to full capacity and tested it the whole week...
I cannot recommend that powerskin.
mfg cre-x
PS: sry for my bad english XD
It's an interesting idea, but it woud add a lot of weight and bulk to the phone, which you would only need let's say for the second 1/2 of the day
So would you want to carry that around with you all day?
The alternative, which I use, is to have a battery pack (mine's a 5000mAh) which I plug into the charging socket of the phone via USB-microUSB cable when I run low.
The battery pack has the same dimensions and weight as the phone, but I keep it in a bag until needed, so it doesn't affect the phone's bulk until I decide to charge.
And they are cheap too, I got mine off Amazon for €22 I think it was. NewTrent is the brand, I can recommend it. The price fluctuates quite a lot. There are also some cheaper alternatives, but I wouldn't bother with a 2000mAh pack, since it wouldn't pack much of a punch. Also the NewTrent one has 2 output sockets and can provide a 1A output, giving a fast charge.
And you can keep your favourite case too, no worries about GPS signal either
powerskins are for people who can only get to charge their phone every other day or use the phone very intensly.
In most cases it's a waste of money.
I used it 3 months and now it no works.
PS: This Case is really big!
I have it, it's awesome. The thickness isn't important to me, i have big pockets. But it was 80$ here in my country.
phone companies are on the verge of these 'inductive charging' techniques by just attaching the tech to the battery without sacrificing any of the physical size of it all, so who knows maybe at the end of the year it'll become standard in phones without the need of having accessories like these
WOW! The Phone becomes very thick with this thing. That's absolutely not cool. In which pocket shall it fit? Just rendered and no real pictures you can see nothing about the quality of these thing. I think a spare accu is much better than this Power Skin.

And you will be the first to make a review video in your local park to show us how good it works?
