Extended Batteries?

Anybody have any luck with extended batteries? If so what is a good brand to get and where from?

I bought a generic 1800mAh battery on the cheap through eBay. It has worked fine for me.

Yes, but is it better than stock? I highly doubt it's actually 1800mAh. If it is, then the Chinese have turned into wizards.

I am currently using these. I just started using it, so not sure how different it will be. I will let you know.
The reviews are kind of hit and miss

I seen one on ebay where you remove the battery cover, and it was a case too. with like a 3500ma or so.
But I like my Otterbox to much.

I'm using an Anker 1600mAh from Amazon. It's noticibly better than the stock battery, but it takes a week of overnight charging to get the most out of it.

I bought an Anker Slimtalk external battery for mine. Going pretty good so far. I can top up my battery when it goes too low in the evening.

I bought an Anker 1600 mAh and actually performs slightly better than stock battery.. maybe It's the Rom maybe not... Because with ICS I got 23 hours with stock and 18 with Anker..

are the really cheap batteries on ebay any good? How do they compare to the original?

I have a Dynapak(I think that's the name) from Amazon and I notice a difference compared to stock. I think I paid $16 when I bought it for two. I believe it says they're 1600 mAh or 1650. I'm happy with it.

If it fits inside the stock battery compartment then it will never be more than 1230 mah.

ive got 3 ( i like having spares of everything lol ) and been using em for about a week now. they seem to work the same as stock. they say their 1800mah but i know they're not.

I have been looking at these;
"ProdiCell-Premium-1600mAH-Extended" on Amazon, I cannot post outside links yet but if anyone knows the name, any reviews?

While there's no way to prove or disprove your statement without bench tests, many people have confirmed that the Anker batteries last longer in an apples to apples test.

I was gonna order the Ankers but no longer in stock

Might just be temporary. Even on ebay the seller laptopmate USA (same authorized seller from amazon) raised the price to $67 to keep people from bidding. But they did not remove the auctions. So they will be back.

Hey goat, still got your Eternity? I use mine as an MP3 player now. Just put a new digitizer on it and its like new.

Never actually had the eternity. I had the impression. And yeah I still got it. I had to replace mine also.

Interesting, could be good. But then again it could fry your phone.

useless. I got one 3weeks back. Nothing special. I don't even think its 1800mAH

Obostore has slow shipping. Ordered a battery for my nexus and it took a month to come.

But some batteries will fry your phone completely. OC/UV/OV will decrease the life of your phone but it will still last for years.

wait a minute......is this a slip battery with 1800mah??or is it a thick one? Cuz i am in dire need of a slim battery with better battery life! Well not really dire need, just want to spend some cash recently lol.

I have this battery. Got it from The Battery Connection eBay store. Didn't actually order it, ordered a regular battery like I had already ordered from them before, got this instead. Not sure if it's 1800mAh or not, but I do know that my phone stays on !% for a good while...it's the same size as the 1500mAh. Build quality could be a little better, but to put it bluntly, it works. Paid $3.85 w/free shipping on eBay. Recommend it for the price.

Best battery for extended life

As the title says I'm looking for a bigger battery for my phone.
I don't mind if it size is actually bigger just looking for recommendations please?

I am ordering one of these right now:
http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-3000-Ex...GQLK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1334418633&sr=8-5
I talked to someone that used it and said that it worked just fine. It's 3000mAh which is more than double the stock (1450 I believe). I would ask you to wait for me to review it but mine wont come for a week or so because I used cheap shipping. And yes, this battery is bigger, as you can see it comes with a replacement door.

Uhm... quite ugly. I think I am going to reconsider this.
The external charguer doesn't looks bad. Does it really has 9000mAh? Usually this kind of chinese stuff have the half of capacity that they claim.

Try Seidio 3200 mAh...your battery life increase to 2-3 days

i am looking for an external battery aswell. so upto wat max capacity can our original battery cover hold?
PS- Would be better if its from standard brands like mugen n seidio

gingerman1984 said:
The max capacity that you can fit under the original battery cover do not usually exceed 1800-2000 mAh in general, everything higher requires either a bigger cover or can be considered as total fake advertisement
mugen for instance only has 1600mAh for original cover option

do these batteries really provide the exact juice that has been decribed as their capacity? wat does the charging cycle mean? im planning for seidio or mugen. are they the best or else is there any better brands. thanx

That external charger seems sweet, does it work like described?
I find it appaling to use a huge battery which makes my N1 compare to my deceased N900 in terms of thickness

This doesn't seem like a run of the mill chinese cheap battery. Packaging looks very professional and the company itself has amazing ratings. I would say this is a pretty safe buy. Its a company that designs the batteries in canada.
And with amazon you're well proctected. Ebay tends to always back the buyer up as well, but I always felt amazon was more legit. I have no need to ugly up my phone with a massive battery, nor do I need the extended time (stock battery suits me fine) but for someone that can't shell out a lot of money this seems like a solid deal

Yes and no. I bought a Mugen from amazon, and everything went fine. It died after about 3.5 months, and Mugen wouldn't replace it because I didn't buy direct from them.
So, most reputable companies who sell direct on amazon are OK. Mugen doesn't sell direct, so avoid them on amazon.
I'd like to see how badly this battery bulges out the phone. I've seen pictures of the galaxy note with this battery, and it looks... big.

I'm willing to test it out. I placed the order and I'll report back once I get it.

That's probably the exception. I've never had a bad experience when returning an item through Amazon.

The reviews for the Galaxy S2 battery are pretty good.
And there's tons of S2 users out there. So I highly doubt this company makes crap batteries

I'm telling you, the Mugen pays for itself. Especially if you have the CM9 Alpha builds.

Hmm... I don't see any reviews for the product. I'd buy it but the price worries me for how cheap it is. I mean... I like cheap, but... there are no reviews to be found which worries me.

Here is my thing about batteries. Last summer when I was on the hunt for an amazing lipo battery that would make my rc car run the fastest,coolest, longest right. Well them batteries were about 60 bucks, but what I had found through my research was there were only about 4 companies world wide who produce lipo-cells, so why waste 60 bucks when I could get a 2-cell for 12 bucks. Well it only lasted the summer because I wasn't very responable with it but its perfomance was on par with the more expensive batteries and so was temp ect. It don't have to cost the most the be effective, sometimes I feel this blacknightavalon works for mugen, because I promise you people 100 for a phone battery, they seen you coming

And yeah, I've no doubt Mugen makes good batteries. But the fact that you *must* buy from them and nowhere else in order to get any sort of service makes them a bit shady.

I would never move to f**king China. Not unless they got rid of their Maoist regime. No, I just know a good battery when I'm using one, and I think the Ankers are pretty good too (as long as you order the two-pack with the wall charger).

The battery cover in the Amazon picture is clearly not for a MT4GS, but maybe it's just the stock photo they use for all this company's batteries.
Anyhow, for $20, I took a chance.

The company as a whole seems to make quality batteries, so I doubt they would skimp on our phone. And it is an actual company, not a "no name generic" battery. And as I said before, if you look up batteries for other phones from the same company, they generally have great reviews
Good point on the picture. That battery cover does not seem to fit our phone, which means the picture is a stock picture.

Could you post pictures when you get it all set up?
Personally, I'd go for a slim extended battery if they offered it, otherwise it won't work with the dock. Still, if this works well, for 20 bucks it's a no-brainer.

I've been looking for a cheap extended battery since I ditched the G2. I had a $15 3500mAh eBay battery on it and it worked just fine. I'll probably order this after I hear what y'all have to say about it.

buying extended battery NOW.. WHY SHOULD I WAIT FOR ZEROLEMON?

A lot of people tell me to wait for zerolemon's extended battery for S4.. but WHAT GOES ON? when it will be released? as far as it seems nobody knows.. so why the ___ people keep saying "wait for zerolemon" when they have no idea when or if it will be out
why not buying on of those batteries what is wrong with them?
buying this: (trexcell, 5200mah, NFC+GOOGLE WALLET enabled)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trexcell-Sam...item5af1b5b7ae
or this: (hyperion, 5200mah, NFC+GOOGLE WALLET enabled)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hyperion-Sam...item43bb64addd

Do you want a 7500 mah with NFC?
If yes, then wait. No? Then buy the alternatives. Simple.
More than likely my fellow XDA members want their colleagues to get more "bang for their buck" so to speak.

I looked...
The ones the other poster linked, if you click a product, the seller is listed as "ZeroLemon".
The ones you link have the seller listed as "ZeroLemon LLC"... and if you click the comapny name, it give only a list of unavailable products, while clicking the name of the seller in the other opens up a page full of products.
This is a common scam technique, to use a very similar name to a real company to sell fake items or otherwise scam customers.
As for as waiting or not... If the Hyperion making these phone batteries is the same Hyperion that makes batteries for RC use... then the Hyperion batteries should be high quality items.

Hi
I would like to know what Brands will make S4 battery for 7000mAh & up
ZeroLemon, Hyperion, Mugen, Anker, etc
with NFC if possible
Also they have the wireless charging back cover
that would be awesome

My 5200mAh extended battery is lasting me about a day and a half with heavy use, and about 3 days with moderite use. But I have found myself still charging it every night so it really wont do me any good going larger than 5200.

Looks like anker doesn't have tpu cases.. Only banker :/ the 5200 ones

I got the Hyperion 5200 battery and I have to agree with some of the posts here that it is pointless to get a higher capacity.after 20 hours of usage (the regular battery usually died after 14)I had 45% battery left even though i tried my best to drain the battery before going to sleep and putting the phone on the charger.

it is worth to wait a 7500mah
7500mAH i guess it is almost human being limited for battery producing from zero lemon battery picture,it is hard to believe.....2600mah+4900mah if 4900mah composed by two battery,which battery chips they use? question
