Nexus One 1600 mAh Battery from Seidio

It sounds like the 1600 mAh battery from Seidio will fit in the stock battery place with no need for a different cover.
Is there any reason not to get this battery, other than spending $55?

Anyone have a clue how much extra battery life 200mAh equates to?

For a really rough estimate, if your average battery life is 12 hours, then an increase by 200 mAh (~14%) will give you and extra ~ 1.7 hours. Emphasis on really rough.

Probably not worth it unless (1) you are away from a charger for long periods of time, or (2) your original battery goes bad.

what about the one that adds only 5mm of extra thickness? that doesnt seem to bad

5mm may not sound like much, but the phone is only 11mm thick now. so, it'd add almost 50% to the phone's thickness. that's significant.

I would not mind getting any battery with improved life, battery life is pretty important to me. I am just wanting to see how much extra will I realistically be getting - before I make the purchase. Other than the 200 extra mAh, build quality can influence how much more (or less) the battery life ends up being. If it add's 25%+, I may just buy it.

Same here, the more battery the better! As long as the size is the same which is a plus!!

sounds like it's more of an additional battery than a better replacement, considering how little additional juice it'll potentially give.
I'd be interested how it compares to the price of an original battery, then just buy the cheaper one to have an extra batt

I picked up one of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FU6KF2/ref=oss_product
It's a charger, works with any gadget that uses USB, it's TINY (smaller than the phone itself by a good bit, easily pocketable) and it can roughly double battery life. Slightly less convenient than a spare Nexus One battery, but easier to charge, store and use, as well as being able to use it with ANY usb device.

does anybody know if the battery guage will be able to recalculate for the bigger battery? i had that problem on the tilt/htc tytn II and that was really annoying because you have a bigger battery but no idea what the actual charge is

The Seidio is too expensive.
I would rather buy Momax from Hong Kong.
any luck on ebay?

I picked up a 5000mah external pack recently, which is about 3 times greater than the typical external battery. Works great. Charges the phone up 3 or 4 times over with no problem.

I've just ordered a wind up charger.
5 mins winding gives about 30 mins on the phone, it'll be good for geocaching, as we often run out on the difficult ones!
only £8

Here you go, noticed they're out of stock now though, but they will be sold in loads of places!

Just looked at the site and they're going to have a "Super Extended" battery coming out soon, though this one will be larger thus bringing it's own back cover. I think I'll wait for them to release that before choosing.

Check this out in ebay.
Good price too.

uh...that's the same capacity as the stock battery.....

Just ordered one. Extra battery life is worth it to me.

Innocell 3300mAh Extended Life Battery (no longer 3000mah)(pics update, Review later)

Just received the battery from mobilecityonline.com. Ordered Tuesday came on Saturday $60 shipped. Here are some pic's will do a review when I can test it. Any question's please ask.
Initial impression:
The battery itself is bigger than the China 3500mah, The back cover doesn't fit over the sedeio battery. The plastic is thinner than the china back cover but thicker than the oem samsung back cover, not able to stand it up on it's side. The case it difficult to put on, but fits very well. It's gonna suck when my phone locks up and i have to pull the battery.

Just order one came out to about $60 the don't charge tax at least in California. Still have my cheapo ebay 3500mah battery but it still doesn't last me the day. Will post review when i Get it.

Hrm....so then what about those of us that bought the 3000 mAh Innocell? I'm wondering if this battery is actually 300 mAh bigger or if they just changed the rating on the battery. I'd like to get my extra 300 mAh, especially as much as the 3000 mAh cost.

According to androidcentral.com it is a different battery.
http://androidforums.com/epic-4g-accessories/244950-review-seidio-3000mah-extended-life-battery.html
Customer79: Hi Kevin,
Customer79: I have a Samsung Epic 4G phone.
Kevin: hi
Customer79: I see that you have a 3000 mAh and a 3300 mAh battery for this phone. Is this indeed the case or is it a mis-type of some kind?
Kevin: we have updated the 3000 to 3300
Customer79: If I bought the 3000 last week, is it a 3000 or is it in reality a 3300?
Kevin: 3000mAh is 3000mAh
Kevin: the new version is 3300mAh
Customer79: I think I read something somewhere that suggested that the 3000 was originally intended to be a 3300, but was de-rated to correspond better with real-life use. Is this the case? Could I get performance approaching 3300 with my recently purchased 3000 battery?
Kevin: no that is not possible
Customer79: OK. I sure wish I knew the 3300 was coming up before I ordered the extended 3000 batteries for my 2 household phones.
So...I guess the 3300 is a 3300. I think we all have to accept that technology is constantly changing with these phones. You got to hop in when you can and expect things to constantly upgrade and change. Clearly, my battery situation is much better with this 3000 mAh battery. My daily life no longer revolves around find a place to plug in my phone. Is 300 mAh really going to change your day? Not really.

Yea it's not a huge deal to me, at least not enough to go through the process of exchanging my battery. Just wish they would have made some mention of the 3300 coming so I could have just waited. Of course they wouldn't do that, because then no one would buy their 3000's and they'd have a bunch of leftover stock.

Would love to see a test between the 3300 mah and the cheapo 3500 mah batteries. Any chance that you would feel like running a test like that???

I planning too when i get the sedio battery.

While I haven't ran a methodical test but I know my Innocell 3000 mAh definitely lasts longer (or so it seems, placebo effect?) than my generic 3000 mAh. Of course, if the Seidio is actually 3000 mAh, then that should be right since the generic 3000 mAh is just two 1200 mAh batteries wired together.

http://batteryboss.org/
Seidio extended batteries are usually around 82% of rated capacity.
That would put the Seidio 3000mah at around 2460 mah.
That is why I would love to see a test between the two that reduces all variables to make it as fair as possible. Something like putting the phone in airplane mode with brightness and volume maxxed, setting the phone to play a movie file repeatedly until it turns off and measuring the time.

Ah I see. I would do this if I had my spare phone on hand, but unfortunately I don't. I might do it one of these days when I'm at the library studying.
Are there any other suggestions as to how to test the battery life?

The only way to test the "battery life" is to see how many charge and discharge cycles you can get. You need a tester circuit that accelerates this process or you will be doing this for a long time. Alternatively you can do a discharge test and so long as you use the same circuit you can then make some intelligent guesstimates in comparing the batteries.
The problem with mfgs are that they don't use the same parameters in testing. Thus two identical batteries can be rated at different capacities.
The short answer: Buy a high quality battery and forget the BS.

I hear that, Hopefully the sedio preforms well. I am starting to realize it makes more sense carrying an extra oem battery then having a cheapo extended one, due to the size it adds.

I got 3 extra samsung batteries and so extended batteries don't make a lot of sense. I usually get them for free as well.

I too have a couple of spare batteries, but it was a pain in the ass having to keep them with me and swap batteries, charge batteries, etc etc. I much prefer having one extended as opposed to multiple spares.

Same here, the only downside is the thickness the battery adds to the phone. I HAVE to use my extended battery at work since I'm nowhere near a charger, listen to my music all day and paint in a dungeon so there is a lot of crap that could possibly get inside my phone when switching batteries but on the weekends I rock the regular battery.

For me, the only disadvantage to the thickness is not being able to use a case. I don't mind the thickness at all (I was a former Treo lover LOL), but it bugs me not having a case on the back half of my phone.

Can be bout cheaper for about $55

If you are talking about the extended battery cover then you just have to push on it really hard to snap it into place, it also helps to squeeze the edges inward

Extended Battery Question

So I was on amazon looking for extended batteries. I've heard that the anker and hyperion batteries are reliable, and that some batteries can be worse than others. I wanted to get two extended batteries (3500mAh ones) and this seemed good:
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337731035&sr=1-6
does anyone know if this is any good? The fact that it comes with a belt clip is sort of appealing
Would've been nice if it came with an external charger, but I can probably do with the one I already have.
Anyways, anyone have any tips or suggestions concerning good/decent extended batteries for the epic 4g?

There Generic so its going to be a hit miss situation from my understanding and what iv'e seen go down with the reviews. but take a look here and get your information on the Generic 3500 mAh for our phones

Here's a few screenie's from my phone using the Hyperion 3500 mah i have 2 of them and they're about the same.
On CM7 i could get a day's worth of battery with about 1-2 Hours of actual screen on time. Or6 Hours of screen on time and 7 hours on the battery just straight streaming netflix. I have gotten 2 Days before on Cm7 with 1.5 Hours of screen on time for display.
On ICS i can get about 15-18 Hours depending on usage

It would be in your best interest to get the hyperion. I've had great results with both of the ones i have. I barely even complained about a broke backing and they sent me a brand new complete unit free of charge. Cant go wrong with Hyperion.

Definitely spend the 15$ and grab the Hyperion, much better.
Or 2x 1800 mAh ankers.
I am actually going to get the Ankers they will be here tomorow so i will go ahead and test them out and reply back here and other battery stat thread.
wonder if this would fit in ours granted its the Epic Touch it should but for us the highest ive seen is 3500 so this could be interesting to see

They aren't 3500mAh no, but while they don't reach their claimed capacity, they offer a hefty value as far as capacity/dollar is concerned. True OEM 1500 batteries can be closer the same price ($7.89 here, still more expensive though) and true OEM 1800mAh batteries are more then double the 1500's in cost (best price I found here was $17.66).
If the swivel case isn't a huge loss for you, maybe get just one battery and see for yourself for much cheaper, $6.53 here

Sounds about on par with how I'd expect the Hyperion to perform, and it's hard to say since it was my oldest Generic but it *seems* as though the larger print "3500" batteries don't perform as well as the small print labeled ones (which if you ever looked at the Hyperion, it has the small print label )

I'm not worried about length or width as the OEM Epic Touch battery (aka the 1800mAh) fits easily into our phones, though I always heard that the Epic 4G's batteries were slightly longer so I was more worried about the Hyperion Epic Touch version being a slight bit too deep (to fit the same capacity) to work...though I think there is a little extra space in the current Generic battery cover that may allow for what little more depth there *may* be (as you can shake the phone and hear the battery jostle around slightly)

Yeah it's weird that sometimes they do that, change some of the phone so that they aren't compatible. Probably the most absent minded business strategy I've ever heard

Just to let you guys know there is actually a set of the 1800 mAh's for our phone and the Epic Touch i got the one for our phone and the 1st charge i got 15-16 HRs and about 3 Hrs of screen on time

I personally use the Yoobao 2800 mAh extended battery from here

I watched several videos on Youtube with recommendations and thats what made me get one. I dont think I have ever had it die all the way on me during the day, as long as I charge it every day or two I have no problems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al_po8oanz0 this guy has multiple videos reviewing these batteries and after trying it out versus a generic 3500 mAh, it is much preferred.

That's okay? but the 3500 mAh Hyperion i can get 4-5 Hours of screen on as well as 18-24 Hours on ICS. Hell on CM7 i got close to 2.5 Days with about 1.5 Hours of screen on time.
Not to mention the 1800 Ankers are slim so it fits without a big back and gets still decent battery life i just got 16 Hours and 3 Hours of screen on time on the 1st charge just opened the battery up and put it in the phone @100% so it hasn't even settled in yet.

ICS? do you have a leaked version or a rom or something?

We have Cm9, AOKP, MIUI V4, ect.

Got the 4500mah from Ebay....

It was $10 with free shipping so I thought it was worth a shot... I received it about 2 days ago and I cannot tell the difference between the stock battery..
This sucks!
So yes, obviously I didn't expect it to be 4500 mah for $10 but I thought it will be at least 3200 or 3000. It is not.
I just want to warn others before they buy it and to hear other peoples experiences if there are any.

If you want a decent extended battery, buy the Hyperion.
I have that batt and the matching honeycomb case you can get with it and I love it.
I never have to worry about battery life anymore (even running stuff like iheart radio or Sirius online which both totally kill battery life)
I even like the feel/weight of the phone with it installed. When I bought it, I figured I would only use it occasionally. Now that I am used to using it, I never take it off the phone. The phone with the standard battery and my awesome rock quicksand case feels way too thin to me now (something I never thought I would say)

thanks morton....
I will try to see if I can return this battery.
I looked at amazon for the battery you recommended. I found it but I also found another battery: (I can't post a link)
It's called QCell and it is rated at 4200.
Any thoughts on this one?
The one you recommended is more popular but this one has NFC and it also has much more reviews.

Another thing to consider is the separate cradle battery charger that comes with a 2100 battery. This way there is always a battery on charge for a quick swap.

Weigh it. At the most basic, the amount of active material in a battery determines its overall capacity. A 4500mAh battery should be significantly heavier (roughly double) than the stock battery.

Another vote here for the Hyperion 4000 mAh battery. Very happy with it!!!
:good:

What website is this hyperion battery?

Think I'll wait a bit to see if anyone brings out a slim 2800 to 3300 battery with a matching back.

I find this to be the easiest for me. I hate extra bulk, so I just have multiple standard batteries ready on tap.

I bought mine here, and it is fantastic so far. http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Sam...tery-Door-Cover-4300mAh-Black-BATY-I9300-02B/
Shipping took roughly 2 weeks I think.

how to adapt to extended battery?

Hi,
Just last month I picked up Galaxy Note 4 and I need a spare battery backup. My last Galaxy S3 has several spares from mpj, but I am now having a tough time deciding which kind of spare battery for the Note 4. My concern with the mpj 6440 mah is the increased size/weight with the case, but on the other hand extended battery life is going to be exactly twice times as capacious as the standard battery. I’ve never used extended battery, how did you guys adapt to them? Is it worth a try?

I have a selection for different use cases. I've got some OEM batteries to swap out when needed, and a Hyperion extended battery for those times when a bulkier phone is less trouble that swapping batteries.

If you're ok with adding some bulk to your phone, you're definitely should give it a try. Basically, you have 2 options: Hyperion (8000 mAh, not much of the bulk) and Zerolemon (10000 mAh, but makes Note 4 brick sized and have lots of issues with battery level reading). I'm waiting for my Hyperion to arrive, so from my point of view, I would recommend a Hyperion.

Best battery with no issues

Mugen also has a battery coming out. It's 6640 mAh, which is basically twice the size of the oem battery and suppose to have Qi wireless charging and NFC for 89.99. Im going with the Hyperion myself

Mugen battery looks nice but its way too expensive (http://mugen.co/mugen-power-6640mah...-samsung-galaxy-note-4-with-battery-door.html). Zerolemon seems to have issues with calibration which sounds it is due to its TriCell. I for one am thinking of getting the Hyperion battery. However, I contacted ZeroLemon about a week ago and they told me that they were releasing a smaller size extended battery in 2 weeks. I would prefer this one, if its true, because they have a nicer case and hopefully its only a single cell battery also.

Wow, they want to build some suspense, huh?

I've used extended batteries before but with the great battery life of the N4 and it's aggressively styled good looks I found having an extra battery is all I need. I actually don't even need it with my 7 hour screen on time but I like having even more than that for intense days. The spare battery gives me all the battery life I need plus some and my N4 doesn't look like a weapon/brick.

He probably using stock spare. Pics are posted all over threads of how the phone looks. Really just 2 options in looks . a ugly slippery back or a huge brick that can go for days. Either it depends on how bad u need the phone to survive.

Mugen Battery 6440 mAH
I got the Mugen battery for the Note 4 just for 4 days now and it is nice. I got around 10-12 hrs screen on time but the percentage is still dropping fast.
The back cover is fine for me (not slippery)
When I check CPU-Z the battery capacity states that it is only 3220 mAH, is it possible to adjust this? I found a Mugen battery profile app but it is outdated from 2013 and root is required.
Can anyone help me?

I've tried them in the past but the size of them always put me off in the end. Note 4 has adaptive fast charging so for me I could just plug it in at work mid day and bump back up to 100 before leaving the office and the whole thing became moot. Its a shame I need 2 charges to get me through the day though, but oh well.

The choices for extended battery cases are simply too insufficient!

Zerolemon is the best it protect you phone and also support NFC :good:
