Recently I was looking for a cover for my g2 phone when I saw this sale http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extended-Battery-Back-cover-HTC-Desire-Z-G2-/140496797740?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b643002c#ht_1322wt_1139
It's a 3000 mAh battery with the back cover. Does anyone tried it or anyone similar in the past? Should I take the risk and pay $12.50 for it?
I would appreciate some opinions Thanks
Sorry this thread should be on Desire Z/ G2 area. My apologies. Can any moderator move it?
I always had good luck with the. Chinese extended batterys

for $12 I'm in for 1.
Yeah I actually recently got two 1500 mAh batteries that works like a charm so far. I'm just a little skeptical of this one because I don't know for sure if it'll be comfortable to have an extended back cover...
Wow that's a fat battery :O

..3500mah too
Pregnant phone anyone?
I bought 3 1500mAh batteries from HK. Same white lable, maybe same company. They work great, but it is annoying to change batteries.
My G1 was a pregant phone and I did love the extra bulk, but I'm not sure if I want the extra bulk on my G2, I've have to think this one over.
Maybe I'll just have to wait for the reviews.
Just order the 3500mAh. Will report when I get it and test

Looks identical to the one I bought - which works fine. I only use it if I'm going to be away from a charger for a day, but it does the job.
The only other issue is it doesn't fit on the docking station :-(

Once you get it, can you take pictures of what it looks like with the extended battery? I am just curious to see how much thicker it will make the phone look.
Thanks!
I want to get this, but I JUST bought my Infuse and a Ballistic case. Oh well, the battery lasts just fine as is all day.

The nice thing about our fairly dumb fuel gauge chip is that there is no need for battery calibration in any case - even with a major battery capacity change. Our fuel gauge is based on battery voltage only. (Also why wiping battery stats does NOTHING in terms of fuel gauge on the Infuse.)
The only potential tweaks that might be beneficial (but not necessary):
1) Universally crank battery charge current to 800 mA in all charging phases. IMO it's only safe to do this at lower battery voltages with the stock battery, but with a 3500 mAh battery, you could keep it at 800 all the way to charge termination.
2) Probably charge termination current needs to be tweaked up a bit in the kernel if you want to properly terminate the charge. It may be OK as is.
3) The fuel gauge load compensation values will probably be different. A large battery like this should fluctuate less under load. Really this only has a small effect on battery percentage of charge reporting. You'd probably see a falsely high reading under load.
I received it yesterday and I have to order pouch since my ballistic case doesnt fit it.
Also, after looking through our kernel source - only the Vibrant does load compensation, and only when playing video or using camera.
So the only tweak one might want in the kernel for this battery would be a full-time bump of the charge current to 800 mA. (Which is possible.)
I too received it yesterday, and all I can say so far is that by now i'd be down to 35% and plugging in (4pm) while now I am at 62% on infused b3.

I was messing around on amazon and seen a few 1700mah batteries and am looking in to one.
Why spend so much on one battery
As long as you dont mind switching batteries atleast once a day hit up Ebay and get 2 or 3 batteries depends on your use, and an external wall charger for around 10 to 13 bucks. they are also slim and after conditioning they last as long as stock batteries.

wow, 41 bucks on amazon and just as many 1 star reviews as 5 stars. Think I'll stick to my aftermarket batteries on the cheap.
One of these would go perfect with the otterbox.
I know a lot of these batteries that are labeled on amazon and ebay are actually stock knockoffs labeled as 1750, but truly share the same capacity as the 1400. I haven't tried or talked to anyone that's tested this listing so it could be a true claim. Just a warning for people to keep in mind. A lot of guys on ebay are even selling 1750 extended batteries that arrive still using the 1400 mah labels.

I would normally agree and not post something like this but this was on the seidio site. Being as they could lie as much as anyone on eBay I thought this might be different since this is a company and not just some third party eBay seller. I'm just curious if this battery holds up to the claims.

I apoligize if I sounded like I was trying to be condescending. I would have totally made the same call you did with giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's a big company with a good reputation, and I wouldn't doubt them without proof.
My post was meant as a warning for the people that read the thread and head straight to ebay and buy the first 99 cent battery they can find, and then install it and start bashing a developer about battery life lol

You can always use eBay. The only problem with OEM eBay batteries - you get crappy capacity (even if you see Samsung stickers on the batteries - they aren't really Samsung).
On the other hand, you can get a bit more expensive batteries, even with NFC (I remember seeing one for $15 or so, don't remember the brand - but it was the only custom one with NFC when I looked).

I think that jack in post above u was explaining about battery LIFE on ICS and Jelly Bean (JB has better batt life-that's the difference).Not the actual shape of the battery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Actually I meant the shape of the battery. It's completely different from international SGS2 (i9100), and also different from just about any other mainstream Samsung phone - the only relatively mainstream reference is Galaxy Nexus (having a bit smaller battery - 1750mAh vs our 1850mAh, but it fits physically and the difference is small). I know because I had to find one for myself, got the phone with non-functional one.

Yes, there is - and I even ordered such battery The problem is that the OP wrote that he isn't from US, and by the looks of it I assumed he doesn't have anyone in US that can buy this battery (from Sprint) and send him. It doesn't look to be a quest for increased battery capacity, but rather just for any (possibly additional) battery.
How much did u pay for it? I am not from US also but i found some on ebay claiming to be original by samsung-it is US seller. This one is 18$ + 14.99$> shipping
Sprint one goes for shipping only - $6.50. The only catch - they'll ship to US address only. If you can use shipping company that is based in US and can "forward" you the shipping (like myus.com) - it might be worth the extra shipping cost.

Im in your position aswell, my advice is to wait for zerolemon to release one. If your unaware of the company google them. They made a 2300mah for the galaxy s3 which I bought and it gave me on aversge 6 hours screetime as appose to 4 on the stock. And it fitted in the original back cover. Im guessing theyll make on for the s4 with 2800 mah..but dont be fooled they last way more than 200mah extra would suggest...u'll also get 2 batteries with a battery charger all for under $30...

This should be ok. I ordered one recently too but it has yet to arrived.
I did a google search for "kinps battery review" and some galaxy note 2 users said it was good which is why I got one for the s4.

let's me know how it fit :good:
Just saying, those 3300 mAH ebay batteries aren't actually 3300 mAH. I would say 2200-2500. Right now the only one that makes sense is the mugen one and it's insanely expensive, so consider waiting a little more or buying the BIG ASS battery by anker (5200 mAH with the special cover)
