[Q] Extended battery live 2450mha

Anyone tried this one:

sounds promissing...

100% fake.

I've got one of these. However they are fake? The battery life from what I've seen is not too much more than the normal battery. I've got another which came with my dock and I don't see much difference between that which is 1600 and the "2400". Also I may not be the best person to comment on it as I change my rom so much I use a lot of power in different roms which use more or less power.

It's not fake!
I have this battery about a month now and it's really great ok it's not sooo big but it lasts at least 2 days of full use,so obviously it's not fake it's really great and i think it worth to spend 10 bucks for it...

Please guys, be realistic.
How the hell should some unknown manufacturer put 2450 mAh of power in the same technology (Li-Ion) in the same size and shape in a battery with the same safety standards?
Based on basic chemistry knowledge that is pure bull****.
Even Mugen had problems pressing 1500 mAh in the same size and I'm sure they had to make the walls a little thinner (what is pretty risky) for that amount of energy-rich mass.
That is absolutely impossible and it is naive to think it is real.
It may be a halfway good replacement for the stock battery but it does never reach 2450 mAh. Never.

All of you guys who think the battery life is longer than stock may think as a placebo effect. As Dr. Lele said it's impossible to pack so much in so little size as of today's technology.

lol, the only battery that has better performance than the OEM one, is Mugen's.
They managed to squeeze 1500mAh into the battery.
I am planning to commercialise a 3000mAh Gold (etc) battery on ebay, with secret Chinese circuitry, for just €6 (no, not really)

what i've learnt about replacement batteries -> if it looks too good to be true, it DEFINITELY isn't true.

Very true. I think a lot of it is the placebo effect... I tend to on a morning go and get that "2450mah" battery instead of the stock HTC ones. Most the time I cycle through the batteries but if I have to choose, I choose that just because it may get a little bit better battery life.... But I'm also worried it's cheaply made and might leak or something inside the phone..

Fake

To the vendor, If you are going to try to sell crap like this, at least make the claims more believable.
lol

It's hard to believe, that some unknown facturer could produce such a battery :l
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND; look at his feedback :/
not that bad...

I have tried it have it and not using it because is piece of crap. It was good on the beginning and than it stopped holding the charge... very short life time....crap

over 2000mAh for less than 10 bucks? suuuuure....
oh wait...it's got a gold label! must be legit!!
Ive got a 1900mAh battery which is a good chunk bigger than the stock 1230mAh battery from htc and i won't ever believe that someone can produce such a "golden" battery out of thin air....

Unfortunately these batteries are likely going to only have 2 of the 3:
1. Upgraded capacity
2. Safety
3. Longevity
The only other option is a 3.8v chemistry battery, which is being used by Motorola, but it will likely not be fully charged by the phone.
Anyway, the stock battery gives 4.55 Whrs, a 3.8v version would give 4.67 Whrs. Which is to say, you're basically getting nothing extra.

Meh no trust gold battery...

No, the answer is that it is physically impossible to produce such a battery. Please try again.

Momax 2700Mh Battery

Just a word to recommend the Momax 2700Mh Battery and custom back for the Galaxy S.This is the battery I have used for the last 2 months and is truly a reliable and long lasting battery.It has made my S the way I wanted it to be in the first place.
I know there are alot of replacement batteries and high capacity options for the S but this a quality item that is obviously well made.A slip case is also included to house the,now slightly fatter,Galaxy S.
On average I get 2 days use,and thats with everything on bar bluetooth.With light use 3 or 4 days are easily possible.I needed a better battery as I work nights and have no wifi so am continually using a 2g or 3g data connection.Before the momax after removing from charge at 2pm,by 1-2am a charge would be needed.Using the momax it can easily see me through a 24-36 hr period even with heavy use.
So credit where its due,there are alot of shoddy replacements and accessories out there,so I thought I would give a thumbs up for this.

Exactly how much fatter is the back after the new battery is in?
I'd like to get one of these, but I'm scared that it'll be a whole lot bigger than usual.

It makes it 1.5cm at it fattest point.

Where did you get the battery from?

Ebay has a ton of them.

got any images of a SGS with that battery? thinking of getting an extended battery as well but a bit worried the bulge might be too big and make it hard to carry around on my pocket

battery is so awesome

Lightweight, low capacity battery?

Since I'm undervolted & pretty tweaked on battery life, I wonder if there's such a thing as a lightweight, low capacity battery? For the large majority of days, I could easily get by with half the capacity. Nice to shed some weight if such a thing exists. Anybody hear of such a thing?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

No.
There is no such market for such a thing.

Thanks. I figured that would be the case, but one can hope.

Just take the battery out and use a car or wall charger, lol

ZeroLemon had a battery awhile back that had fewer mAh than stock. Check amazon.
Otherwise, just get a Chinese ebay battery that claims stock mAh. For sure it will be lighter than stock and have way less mAh.

Thanks for the pointers, fellas. (Jayracer7474, haha!) I suspect a lighter battery could also be the difference in mass/momentum between a cracked screen and a bounce from a drop. I did find some 2100 mAh replacements, but they appear to only shave off a couple of grams, so not enough weight savings to justify. A ~1200 mAh battery that would save about .5 to .75 of an ounce would be ideal for 90% of my everyday usage, since I'm usually never far from a charging source. Oh well, can't have everything.

Seems like no one asked the right question so far: what kernel/settings do you have?

Also, those chinese batteries? Please stay away. Most of them are rubbish. (risk of explosion etc etc?)
Those legit chinese brands don't make smaller capacity batteries though.

As pcorlatan pointed out to me, you can use a GS3 battery on the GS4 without any issues.
I have no idea how much lighter it is but it is 2100ma so it is significantly smaller.

Mophie Galaxy S4 charger case

The charger case by Mophie may be a little expensive but it extended my battery life by about 80%. The case bulks up the phone a little bit but I find it easier to hold so its a fair trade. There is another battery case out there but though its cheaper and claims more battery capacity it has bad reviews.
Bottom line: I'm in love and I hope I help others extend their battery life with this quality product.
Share your experience and if this review helped you remember to hit that thank button.
Cheers!

Update: there are two cons I can think of: NFC and the HDMI hookup I have don't work. Thought this to be noteworthy. I have yet to try to see if ADB/ file transfer works.

battery cases for a phone with a removable battery are pretty silly.

I do see your side of the argument granted. Overall I think it's easier to just plug the phone in at night. No extra battery to swap out just when you're low on juice flip a switch and you're back in business.
I guess it boils down to personal preference.

Standard fit / high capacity battery

Do any exist, which are safe and reliable?
On previous notes, I bought a slightly higher capacity Mugen but can't find any for the note 4 (in the UK).
My phone is now 9 to 10 months old and the battery is tiring (I think). Maybe a refresh is due. I can imagine the higher speed charging kills them off sooner too. ANOTHER good reason why the Note 5 should have a removable battery. A a built in battery will be performing under par in no time.

thanks I just saw that.
How much extra juice do you get from normal charging?

So 4 months later, how are the batterys holding up?
My OEM battery seems to not be holding juice long enough and I'm looking for a replacement.

Yes, I want to know as well. Facing same issue as OP.

I hope you find what you're looking for... I am hooked on high capacity batts, and now even the little handed wife can handle a Hyperion 8000 batt with TPU case easily- they're not as brick-like as the zerolemon. Bought a new 8000 and a case for a total of 38 bucks with free shipping on amazon yesterday.
But everyone has their own way of wanting things- hope it works out. If it doesn't, though, I'll offer that it really doesn't take long to adapt to the Hyperion type with it's case. That same case works with the Anker 6400 too. Both have been great performers for me.
Cheers!

Thanks for your input. I'm more inclined towards the standard fit because of the accessories I already have: the car support, the cases, etc.. An oversize higher capacity battery would imply further investment in other stuff, while a standard fit would just (hopefully) improve a little on the OEM battery. If any of the batteries mentioned can fit the original samsung car windshield support I'd consider them a an option.

I just received this one today and so far it seems pretty good. Same size as OEM but it took noticeably longer to charge so the extra capacity seems legit. I had a Deep Stretch for my Sensation back in the day and it was great, so we'll see after a few days how this one performs in the ol' note 4.

I saw that battery, but passed it up due to the blurry photo (and the battery looks in the photos like it's a cheap battery with a sticker on it) and the generic reviews (as if the seller may have made a few of them). It just all looked like a cheap battery to me.
Let us know how it performs. Longer charging time may not indicate a bigger battery, especially if the battery really is a cheap Chinese battery or something.

OK so after a couple days with this battery I can say that it's good. The more I use it the better it seems to get too, on the first day it was roughly the same as my stock battery but today it's lasting a lot longer. I am getting a noticeable bump in overall life, ending my day with about 30% more juice left than I normally do.
Deep Stretch is legit, like I mentioned before I had one of their batteries a few years ago with my Sensation and it gave me noticeably more life as well. These aren't good if you're wanting a major increase in battery life, but they're great just to get your phone comfortably through a day of moderately heavy use without having to bulk it up.

This battery uses new technology? How could they made a same size but much higher capacity comparing to stock one? Could you post your onscreen time with this battery?

I am always skeptical about batteries that claim higher capacity while not being physically larger. Not saying these are bad but for I wouldn't buy it for the bigger number on the package. Personally, I tend to go with OEM batteries, bought with retail packaging from a reputable seller. Sure these are too expensive for what they are, but at least, I know what I am getting.
It is worth noting that li-ion/li-po batteries degrade slowly over time. So when you change your year-old battery for a new one, you are very likely to notice an improvement, even if you replaced it with the exact same model.

Now that you have it a few more days how is it going? I'm also interested in purchasing a standard fit battery.

I ended up getting a v10 the other day, but I did use the battery for about 2 weeks and it definitely did give me a noticeable bump in overall life. For $25 I would say go for it.
