Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would happen to know what the highest stock size battery would be. I've seen a few posts and, iirc, there was a 2430 mah (with only a bit of an increase in battery time) and another 19xx mah one (which was later proven to be 7xx mah); is there one that actually provides noticeably greater battery life that will fit in the phone with the stock back cover? I have already seen the 3000 and 3500 ones, but am not currently willing to sacrifice form factor as I have quite a few accessories that were made for the stock size phone.
Thanks
I can strongly recommended the momax 1700mah battery. I bought mine from ioomobile and I actually think the capacity is accurate.

HI friends,
This is a review of Mugen Battery from my side as the first contribution to XDA
goo.gl / d132h
And how long it lasts on moderate usage?
Around 15 hours on extreme usage. But makes your phone as thick as n900
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
And extreme means total extreme. Otherwise, I managed to run it more than 28 hours with more than 200 geo-tagged tweets, data usages around 350 mb and four email accounts configured.
How thick is the telephon with this battery?
How thick is it in milimeters ?
I think is this http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...tended-battery-for-samsung-galaxys-i9000.html the video is quite explanatory the thickness i think is twice the original SGS
hope there will be high mAh battery but thin as 1500mAh battery now...
way too bulky!
I remember selling my n900 due to its bulkiness I couldn't sit down with the damn thing in my pockets there's no way I'm going back to that LOL. Good review though.

This battery is 11mm thick.
Would be nice for extra battery power, but its way too bulky now.
I've seen batteries that are really good. But they are too big. So, what's the best battery in the normal size. I mean in man.
The original battery that the phone came with... but if you are looking for 3rd party manuf. there is a zerolemon brand....

Exactly what I want to know!
Zerolemon 3000mAh probably your best bet. Some users report a slight bulge on the casing when used, while others say that removing the sticker from the battery stops the bulge. Other than that, stock is probably best.
Oops guys i meant in mah.
Mugen makes a 2750 Mah in standard size with NFC. Mugen has an excellent reputation.

I think I've read a couple of reviews about that there was no significant capacity increase which is disappointing considering the fact that it supposedly has more mah :/
With regards,

Expensive but overall good, personally I would prob just get a 2nd with a charger from Sammy
So the other day I noticed that Hyperion has a 7500 mAh battery for the S4. Has anyone tried it? I currently have a ZeroLemon 7500 battery and was wondering how does it compare to ZeroLemon's battery?

I'm curious myself. I've seen in the reviews for the Hyperion version that the back plate causes some issues with the flash.
I don't know, but I was looking at the comments on amazon for the hyperion battery and someone noted there was a haze in pictures/video whenever the flash was used, due(argued) to the design of the back casing.

On the other hand though, the zerolemon battery tends to modestly degrade the cell signal strength according to their reviews:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R2P0EL...e=UTF8&ASIN=B00CXZI3DQ&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=
So pick your poison, flaws with flash, or flaws with signal strength. It looks like it depends on signal in your area and what you use your phone for.

I know if you contract ZeroLemon that you can buy just a case from them I'm curious if I could pick up a Hyperion case and if the for each battery works on both the Hyperion and ZeroLemon case

how do yall with the 7500 mah batteries like the extra bulk it adds?
Its not that bad. It doesn't feel like the phone is made by playschool with the extra weight. The zerolemon blocks my signal sometimes to the point I want to break my phone. Thinking about returning it. I don't need it, just bought it since it was only $40.

I have the 5200 hyperion. I use my phone heavily all day long. Im currently sitting at work on my phone. My job consists of an hour of work so i spend the other 7 hours on my phone. I make it through the entire day without using power saving mode or any other conservative setting except for auto brightness. Im so glad I bought it and the added bulkiness isnt bad at all imo. Even if u are a very heavy user I doubt u will need the 7500.

I will say 7500 Is overkill but it no thicker than a 5200 mAh battery so the extra is nice to have.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I notice in videos that the 7500 covers the rear speaker, does this have a serious effect on speaker volume/quality? I know the ZL case has openings at the bottom to try to compensate.
Have owned both, would recommend Hyperion
I have owned both the zerolemon and (currently) the hyperion battery. The hyperion battery is the same size as the standard extended battery size of 5200mah that Zcell makes and this means that the phone will fit inside a decent phone case (there are many different cases made to fit those specific extended battery dimensions . The zerolemon battery is MUCH larger (nearly twice the size) and requires an awkward back cover/case combo that is not sturdy at all and on top of that, because of its size, it will not fit in any phone cases I know of other than a leather pouch type that aren't fitted to hug the phone. That is the biggest drawback for me. I broke the screen on my phone and had to get another one - the only phone I have broken in the 9 years since I got my first one. The cell radio interference is bothersome only occasionally with the zerolemon battery but it does happen and it is noticeable when it does (think like 75-80% connection speed on average). Also the zerolemon battery seemed to have lost some of its capacity, probably slightly less than a fifth after the first 6 months I had it. I would highly recommend the hyperion battery over the zerolemon. The benefit of being able to have a modestly strong and protective case is important even to me (I rarely drop my phone). The cell radio interference of the zerolemon is bearable and definitely worth the extended battery capacity it delivers. The hyperion battery, however, delivers just as much juice without the radio interference and it does it in a small enough package to fit inside any of the variety of different cases made to fit phones with batteries the dimensions of the hyperion battery/back plate.
Do you know which case like Otterbox with stand and clip for belt or Zerolemon that fit with Hyperion extended 7500mha battery?
In my opinion...neither the ZL or the Hyperion. The Anker 7800mah extended battery has completely blown me away. The battery life on it is amazing (obviously since that's its purpose) and the TPU case that they give you feels really nice. The one thing I am curious to try is if the ZL Rugged case will fit with this battery. But from someone who has owned the ZL battery on my S4....save the money and buy the Anker 7800mah ($31.99 on amazon).
How much " extended " do you guys need ? Currently ive been using Sun Global 3150mAh Extended Battery for Galaxy S4. The size is the same as OEM samsung batt, just a bit heavier. Reputation of the brand? I dont wanna say, depends on you. The battery can last a 12 Hrs marathon with almost 4 Hrs screen-on time, most of which is Gaming and Social apps.
Dont make it impossible by yourself, a smartphone that can last 2 days? Holy crap that is a godlike battery. To me as long as it can stands out a heavy usage during a day then its good enough, more than that, PowerBank will do..I always carry a small size 6600mAh powerbank with me everytime i go out (except work).
The Anker 7800mah is the best. I have the ZL as well. Hands down Anker no question

Has anyone tried any of the higher capacity batteries available for the s4 yet to know if they're any good? There are some that claim to be over 3400mAH for example.
I have one of the 3500 mAh batteries from a Chinese company. It is definitely NOT 3500. I notice only a very slight boost if that. Be careful, at least battery isn't worse. Now I have two more batteries and an extra charger for 20 bucks...

PolarCell make a 2900 mAh if I'm not mistaken, I've had nothing but positive experience with them. They also make NFC enabled ones.

ZeroLemon 3000mAh battery fits with original back cover but it's a tight fit and doesn't have NFC
What about the EC TECHNOLOGY 2800mah battery on amazon?
Is it really better than the stock battery?
Amazon reviews are saying it last much longer but dunno if its based on S4
Never heard of that brand but might as well go for the ZeroLemon 3000mAh battery

The ZeroLemon 3000mAh battery fits with the original back cover but it's a tight fit without NFC since it's 400mAh more
Have you looked up the Anker battery? That one is really good.
