3000MAH Ebay battery "review" - Epic 4G Accessories

This isnt a detailed review. But this seller is excellent. I got it 3 days after i ordered. My stock battery i got 6-8 hours of life. Heavy usage i get at least 16, light usage not sure b/c i charge at night. So if you guys are looking a few extra bucks will ensure you get one asap. Cover fits great and battery is great. Here is a link. He actually posts here and i will be buying more of these for my family/friends. Im doing this b/c i ordered a mzmshop battery jan 3rd and just got it yesterday feb 7th. I thought it was lost in the mail so i ordered this one and received it quickly. So I am telling everyone that the extra couple bucks to insure you have it in a few days is worth it to me.

Not gonna happen. Most you will get is maybe a 1600mah battery.

Aww thanks so much for the great review!! I appreciate it! Glad it worked out well for you!

Same seller that I got mine from, fast shipping and no one month wait. Battery cover, while a little more flimsy than stock fits super tight and battery seems to last longer each day...

Good review. I'll consider this if i get tired of switching between 2 batteries. Are there after market cases that will fit over it?

There is a case on ebay now for the extended battery but the reviews and feedback I've read state it isn't very good especially with the volume control cutout not matching up.
For some reason the cases are soooo slow to come into production. The Chinese can rip a movie and start selling bootlegs in 3 days but want to tinker around for 3 years to start making even a silicone case! #endsarcasm

Mugen 4500mAh Extended Battery for G2X

Look what I found on Mugen's international site. Of course it has a new back cover for the phone because the battery is so chubby. But 4500mAh, dang!
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...tery-for-lg-optimus-2x-p990-t-mobile-g2x.html
thanks for the link but NO WAY! $100+ is way to rich for my blood...
i just ordered 2 of these. i like the idea plus they are solar and charge all my gadgets on top of my phone. and shipping from china is 22 for dhl but they are worth it and are the size or smaller than our phone! holds almost twice the charge with multiple voltages including 3.7v which is ours.
Total was around $52 after shipping but just sell one or keep the other for twice as much! ill repost this link in thread.

Too expensive and UGLY
Wow, out if my budget.
I could buy 3 external batteries including shipping, for that.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
look at the back cover on that thing and then the shape of the batter! what a waste of space!
I am sorry but I get plenty of juice out of my battery, i dont know what i would do with a battery twice the size let alone three times the size of my current one... that **** would last all week without needing a recharge!
honestly for the same price, little bigger and more juice i could just lug around a mini nuclear reactor... where is tony stark when you need him? im trying to hook my phone up with that mini arc reactor bro!
Yeah, that is way too bulky for the size. If they wanted to extend the back of it, why wouldnt they make the battery a sort of P shape that extends further up the back so it doesnt have to bulge as much?
I MIGHT buy a battery that only makes the back case flush with the camera. I already dont like that camera hump on the back, so a battery that only needed to extend that much or a tiny bit more would be perfect. Maybe like a 2500mAh?
Thread cleanup, back on topic please.
My question here is this: Is it completely safe to use this battery?
I'm thinking perhaps in the future I might want to buy one because I deplete my battery extremely fast with constant use. The only thing I'm worried about is if it will hurt my phone in any way.

you know I was thinking this too, but I did watch some reviews on youtube on their other 4500 mah extended batteries for other android phone models. It doesn't look that bad, infact it seems to make the phones look like a tiny miniature powerhouse PCs from the future.
Right now it says their sold out and will get new stock in June, I'm definitley gonna get one. If like the reviews say that some people don't have to charge this extended battery after 3 days of heavy use then I'll be in G2x heaven. Infact, I would bet as LG was in the design proces for the phone that they were shooting for a phone that could last for 3-5 days on one battery charge, but since marketing research thinks consumers will only buy a slim form factor cell phone, they opted to cut corners on performance for cosmetics, which absolutley sucks in my opinion.
just ordered it. Will post a review once I receive it.
I ordered the 4800 one for my atrix as well. I just received that one today. Will try it out when I get home!

Right on, can't wait for the review. Just wanted to ask though, I saw that they were out of stock and that they'd get more in stock and if I ordered on that certain day I looked on the site, I would get it on June 3rd. I looked at the site again and it said if I ordered that day I'd get it on the 10th, now I checked again today and it said if I ordered I'd get it on the 6th. What gives with all the different ship dates?
You also said you just got the 4800 for your Atrix.
When did you order that one and how long did it take for you to recieve it?
How was it shipped out to you, UPS or USPS?
How did you purchase, with credit card or paypal?
How professional are they and quality of the product?
Does the product come with a specific charger?
And how long did your Atrix last on standard battery and how long does the Mugen battery last?
Sorry for the questions, I'm just very interested in this battery and I'm so ready to purchase, just waiting till they get it in stock, before I ordered, although I'm so anxious just to put in the order now and wait for them to ship it out to me on the proposed date a couple weeks later. But is that wise?

Check the forums for an easy to build tester. I tested a few, and stock batteries for g2 and vibrant, none of the extended ones lived up to their claims. They had more capacity, but not what they claimed, and some caused instability. Stock oem tested within 5%. Extended varied wildly, best being about 25% shy of stated. Imo, that's false advertising at best.
I still have the tester set up. Ship me a battery and I'll test it for you if you like. I'll even pay to ship it back to you, but I will post about it here if you do. Personally, I'm not wasting any more money on them for myself.

I ordered it on 5/13 and received it on 5/20

Came via USPS

I used paypal. Had no issues
How professional are they and quality of the product?
The quality of the product is awesome. At least so far. This is my second Mugen battery. I had one for the nexus one as well. worked just fine. The one for the atrix ROCKS right now. On average usage (with stock battery) I would get about 1.5 days. With the Mugen, I hit 3 days with 1 full charge under the same usage pattern
Does the product come with a specific charger?
Nope. Just the battery and the back cover.
And how long did your Atrix last on standard battery and how long does the Mugen battery last?
1.5 days vs. 3 days

By the way, I had a Milestone as well, which also had an extended battery but from Seidio, and that battery i was NOT happy with. Did not add anything in addition to the stock.
The only way to test a battery is using an external load / voltmeter jig. Based on my past experience with Mugen, their 4500mAh battery will test out much lower, my bet is somewhere around 3400mAh. Just enough to make you feel like you got value for your money. Theres no way the average consumer can compare battery life using the phone itself.

Yup you're right. I do not have a voltmeter handy so I'm just relaying my observations.
So far, it's been good (I'm still talking about the Mugen Atrix battery since I haven't reeived the G2x one yet). Far better than the stock battery (not just by a couple of hours but by days) so I'm happy

I'll pay a hundred bucks to get at least 2-3 days on one charge. Anything to get rid of this miserable battery life that makes you feel anxiety when you're away from an outlet, especially if you use the G2x like I do which is on the internet constantly browsing and watching vids and playing vid games.
Although on another note, auto airplane mode does indeed make the phone somewhat viable and stops the drastic bleeding when the phone is not being used, and I also notice that under settings> accounts & sync> background data turned off also helps very much with the horrible battery drain when on standby.
Tmobile has sent me a replacement battery which I had to pay $10 shipping, so I might recieve it on the 3rd of June, I'll hold off on the Mugen 4500 mah and see how the replacement from tmobile goes and play around with the other settings I just mentioned. I just don't like the idea of switching out the batteries each time. Gonna put wear and tear on the battery cover and all, so even though I have an extra battery, I'm still considering the Mugen extended.

I know exactly what you mean! That is the reason I was willing to spend $100+ on a battery because I didn't want to bother carrying extra batteries all the time or swapping them out or worry about charging each one..
I have one, lasts me 3+ days and don't have to swap anything.
Might not be ideal for most people, might be heavy but hey... it's perfect for me
Without a doubt, there is value in having a battery that can last 2 or 3 days. I've purchased large capacity batteries from Mugen and Seidio, and happily used them.
But, for the price paid for these batteries, I also expected to get what was advertised in terms of mAh rating. It irritates me that these companies feel that they can just print whatever inflated rating they want on these batteries and there is no consequence for them.
Heres what I've determined: High quality OEM batteries I've used in the last 4 years all have been around 1500mAh, as that seems to be the sweet spot in terms of size vs capacity for a phone manufacturer. Mugen & Seidio use cheaper cells, typically 1200mAh for the same physical dimensions as the OEM cell. From there, its simple math, 2 cells equals 2400mAh (not the 3000mAh stamped on the sticker. My guess, without even looking at a picture, is that the Mugen 4500mAh battery is a 3 cell unit with a real capacity of 3600mAh.
3600mAh is not a bad setup, I'd throw $100 for it. But I'd still be irritated.
What would be really nice is the manufacturer giving us the option of buying another cell, the stock oem battery with a replacement back that had a charge balance circuit and anything else it would need to be reliable. Known good cells, just an extra one.

HTC 2750mAh extended battery $39 at Verizon store

i was planning to buy the Seidio extended but found out about this sale & decided to buy it.
That is a great price. I got mine for around $41 after tax. That's with a 25% discount. When did you buy it?

I bought the ext. battery a few months ago, but just started using it regularly last week. Witht he Seidio ext. cover and case, the phone is a brick, but I love it. Ext battery lasts me easily all day with heavy use.
the thunderbolt is a bust.. It needs to look like a freaking brick and to feel like one in order to function like it should out of the box.
It would be nicer if it didn't have the hype going in.. this phone is really all hype, as there are many phones already better then this phone in a short time span, without nearly half as much hype.
bust

hahaha, start a thread slamming the TB and go on every post to complaint. think you are the noob here. i am totally happy with it, i get 10+hrs easy on a custom rom, if that was/is your complaint.
well, you could always get a different phone...and i am sure you will find faults with it.
i am happy with the dev's working on the TB and putting out amazing ROM's. think you shoudl try them out before starting up.
I agree. The extended battery works great for me. It's not as bad as some people make it seem. I for sure don't think its a "bust". Pros outweigh the cons for me.

I got the HTC extrended battery & cover from my local Verizon store about two weeks ago for ~$40 after tax due to my company discount. It is so nice not to have to worry about how much I surf the net, text or talk on the phone. Even after 12 hours of moderate use my battery averages ~50%, which is not too shabby.
I also bought the Seidio Active Extended case, but was not too impressed with the plastic kickstand and overall bulk. Believe it or not, I ended up using the High Gloss Silicone Cover for Extended Battery case that I purchased for ~$15 at the Verizon store. Though using the power/volume buttons was a little tough until the case was broken-in, it just feels less bulky and seems to offer better protection than the Seidio case (IMHO).
Got my extended 2 months ago and couldn't be happier. I went in the Verizon store complaining about battery life and how I can't use this phone anymore and they gave me the battery for $20 to shut me up Lol
Other Options
If you don't want to get an extended battery but you want some extended time there are some good deals on batteries on amazon. I saw on there you can get 2 regular 1400 mah batteries plus a wall charger for the batteries for $20. All the reviews seemed positive too. It's really just another option, and cheaper too.
Is it still on sale I need it bad!!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Do it. It bulky no question, but the added bulk actually makes it easier to hold. And I use the pi** out of my phone and it lasts from 6:30am until the following morning without touching a charger. I'm running chingy's 3d...but I suspect it would do that on just about on any custom ROM.

agreed, bought that deal, plus an extra battery charger for about 5 bucks so I have 2 batteries always ready to go.
What are you doing to make your battery drain so fast? I use my phone on AO5PTH3ORY with cooked in kernal and I am getting about 10 hours + when usage steady all day, on WiFi 3g/4g, email, text, internet. Try to flash a different radio if you are rooted for better signal (that worked for my cell phone standby drainage) or flash a different kernal (try dream kernel I hear great things)

I got 2 batteries off Ebay with an external wall charger for less than 10 bucks, and if you want to pay 5 bucks more you can get 3 batteries. Once I flashed to AOSP Rom I have not needed my extra batteries I have been unplugged for 7 hours with moderate use and I am still at 77%

Where can I get a decent galaxy s battery in the UK?

I've searched these forums but all people talk about is fakes or ones I can't get in the UK. Where can I purchase a reliable third party or official 1500mah+ in the uk?

I just received my Samsung 1800 mAh battery yesterday from TalkieTech: ~35 dollars, when 15% was substracted with the code ''hfmembers''.

I looked everywhere before ordering one from the States it worked out at £23 delivered and took 20 day to get here. I got the 1800mah one from the Galaxy S2 epic 4G as disscussed in the other thread

I wanted a genuine Samsung battery and was willing to pay a fair price for it, its made for a phone thats only sold in the US so it stands to reason that the battery would have to be imported.
With a clean install of stock 2.3.5, with wifi and GPS on I got 2 days 17h out of my 1 year old standard battery, that was with light use but still just under 3 hours of screen time and an hour of phone calls. I hope with this new battery I can get 24 hours+ with heavy use playing GTA3 for few hours
I very much doubt the battery you have got will be 1900mah, a copy of the 1500mah at best.
I'll do a test with the battery once I have done a few charges, I'll play a film on a loop and post the results
Experienced users seem quite happy with it here and it's only £13.90 delivered:

get the Anker 1800mah
Hey there,
I was having crazy battery life with my old battery, which on darky's ROM lasted about 10-12 hours and then on MIUI not more than 6-8 hours. I bought another one and it was definitely a fake by the looks of things, but the batterylife did not change that much. i bought the 1800mah ANKER from Amazon and it lasts about 18 hours easy. I bought mine in the US, but i have seen them on Amazon. Hope it helps.
Thanks. I've already ordered mine but if it's no good I'll get the one you recommended. I can't see any in the UK on amazon or ebay though?

I've buyed the Galaxy S Plus original baterry in hope that it will last longer...posting after getting it
I found one for £9 on Amazon.
It claims to be 3500 and it certainly doubles my battery life. Adds a bit of heft, but the cover doesn't obscure the camera.
Battery screenshots etc on my blog.
The one I bought seems to work pretty well.
i bought one from akku king a 1800 mAh it runs pretty good, and then a charger for only the akku from dealextreme

[Q] NOOT 2800 mAh Battery

Hello everyone this is my review on the extra battery or replacement battery for you Samsung Galaxy S5. Thus battery is made by NOOT products and is available for 10 bucks on Amazon. Also free 2 day shipping is your a amazon prime member. Ok enough of plugging amazon on ti the real deal how did it work because we have all seen that great deal for 3 batteries and a charger for our phone for 15 bucks. The problem is they barely workif tthey work at all. Nm
Now there are they new fancy named companies witha ssimilar deal but someiof them even suck. Have no fear I already did the testing here NOOT products (Atleast there batterie, have nnot tried anything else yet) are the real deal. I have 3 Galaxy S5's in my house and we all have at least 2 back up batteries and we all use NOOT because they work as good as the OEM ones. I'm not just saying it to plug NOOT I could care less just your friendly XDA product reviewer (Just starting on here but have been for a while). I love my gadgets for my phones so I buy everything I think is cool for my phone or tablet. So I figure I can spend a few minutes and tell my XDA family member about my latest add on to my phone gadgets. I will tell it like it is good or bad. I will be posting several other on stuff I have already been using so is you been thinking about buy a glass screen protector or a wireless charging Back or card wait a day and read my next reviews.
Thanks
Any questions please ask.

I got them when they were on sale for $5 dollar with a promo code a while back. They work really well, I say about 80 to 90% of the oem time capacity, which was good for the price.
However on a hot afternoon, i left a battery inside my car ... the battery expanded (got fat) and won't fit in the phone anymore.

This. Apparently I have the most helpful favorable review on amazon for it right now, and while I liked the battery when it still worked, I need to edit my review on there as my battery has also gotten fat. It's weird though because I didn't leave it in my car or anything. Battery worked fine for about a month and a half and then all of a sudden it started dying really quick once it reach 30-40%. After several days the battery life started getting shorter and shorter until it didn't even last me 2 hours. Pulled off the back cover and I realized it was getting fatter. I also got it when it was just $5, so I shouldn't really complain, but I contacted the company twice about a replacement (since the product comes with a warranty). They haven't gotten back to me yet and it has been over a month since. Kinda frustrating that their customer service is so lame. Other than that I thought the battery was a good replacement for the price. I've since ordered backups from Caseology on amazon and they seem to work just as well as the Noot one when i first got it.

AliExpress Batteries

Hi, I was wondering if someone on here bought replacement batteries on AliExpress and could provide some feedback is it worth or they are selling low quality products that will lose it's capacity or explode, leak by 1 month of using?
I'm very much at a new battery stage and would mind some first hand experience, or ANYWHERE I can buy quality batteries that haven't sat around for years or half ruined...

I would be interested to hear as well. From what I see on Ebay/Amazon, many batteries are pulls from old phones, even when they are advertised as new (there is glue on the back, etc). Which means unless your battery is totally dead it won't offer much improvement. Particularly if they are abused by sitting on shelves for a year discharged.
I do know the OEM battery has a manufacturing date on the bottom, however I really doubt they are still being made.
I have looked for batteries made by reputable 3rd party makers like Anker but they seem to cater to the removable battery phone, not internal.
I don't care about it being original, but it sure needs to be good. Seems we have no options so far.
My Nexus 4 battery died and I had to change it.
The first battery I got was from https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SMMFWZQ
It worked well but after 3 months, I was back to 50% capacity. It seemed like a reconditioned battery. It had a date on it which was January 2015. However the label had been tampered with, some sections were blacked out with a marker.
So I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00X1USMBA
This seems to be a new battery made out of new cells.
After one month this battery still holds 100% charge.
I bought the one mentioned in the battery thread in this forum back in January of 2016 and have not had any issues.

Aliexpress still sells original OEM LG batteries marked with Jan 2016 Date. I thought LG stopped making these batteries some time ago.

I bought a battery on AliExpress last week, it took 10 days from order to delivery to Belgium (impressive).
I haven't installed it in my Nexus 4 yet (still waiting for the tools to come... shipping not as fast as wth the battery lol)
at least it looks very new. will report back once I install it and test it for a few days.

That looks pretty authentic -- anything make it seem like that's a KIRF version? Also, link please.

The product webpage says "CUUSEY" as the brand so it's most likely a 3rd party copy (or a reconditioned battery)
you can find it here http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...s-For-LG-Google-Nexus-4-E960/32659188109.html
Still haven't installed it in my phone so still can't comment on the quality of it.

Can you share your impression about the battery performance? That'll really help users who are looking to get a replacement battery. I replaced from LG service center but saw no improvements compared to the 3 year old battery

I finally installed my battery over the weekend. So far so good. Battery life doubled (I'm running the fake nexus marshmallow rom). I can finally go out for drinks without taking my power pack (had barely 4 hours of usage (not SOT) before!)
Sadly, a few days before I swapped the battery, the digitizer on my N4 finally gave up (like on so many others) and I have a vertical dead zone on my screen. I don't really feel like investing time and money to replace it so this is the end of the road for my good ol' Nexus 4. Hopefully a Pixel XL will replace it next month.

So you could send me your battery, as you seems to be one among the few finding a GOOD one
I've received the battery from AliExpress. It looks like it is a fake battery. Installed it just now.
Will post about how it performs in this week :fingers-crossed:
Edit 1: After using it for 12 hours, I'm very much disappointed to see that I'm getting less backup than my 4 year old battery (I understand this is just initial period but I was not expecting this ). See attached screenshot of battery drain.
Edit 2: On very second day of this new battery, the phone switched off when battery was 18%... Opened a dispute on AliExpress straightaway. This is 100% fake battery

Do not trust these sellers. I also bought the battery from a good seller; but the battery that I got was fake (see my post above yours).
They are not even responding to the dispute.
