Does anybody know if there's a company making an extended battery cover with Qi wireless induction capability? If so, how about a case that fits it?
There's only a regular inductive one, but there is a Mugen extended battery that fits in the normal form factor.

From what I've heard, it isn't worth the price for a mere 200mAh gain. It would be awesome if somebody made a cover and gel-case that supported Qi and the 3600mAh extended battery!
Indeed, but it would take FOREVER to charge.

If it can charge in 8 hours(while I'm sleeping) then it's all good. Just imagine a 3600mah battery, calibrated, nice lean kernel, undervolted, 4g disabled, and Juice Defender Ultimate(when they fix it). I could go a week without charging.

Isn't that less than the stock battery? How can that be an extended battery? That is why it charges faster too, since there is less to charge.

No, stock is 1600. Couldn't you just open the back of your phone instead of making me do it? also, who's the manufacturer of your 1800?

Ha, I was too lazy to take off my case to look st the battery. For some reason I thought the stock battery was around 2000. Either way, I wouldn't pay more for a battery that was only 200mAh more.

Just wondering has anyone purchased some spare batteries on ebay? I don't want any extended ones cuz i don't want extra size to the phone. I wanted to buy a spare one actually made by Samsung and a battery charging dock so i won't have to switch batteries just to charge them. I don't know if any other non-oem batteries are any good. Hopefully someone can give me some feedback or info about that. Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Honestly I bought the media dock with spare battery at VZW and havent looked back since. doubles as an alarm clock, charges spare battery at the same time and i dont need to worry about fiddling with plugging in the cable, just slide it into the dock. It's very much worth the 49 they are asking since the dock alone is 39 so its an extra 10 for the oem battery
I was just browsing ebay and there are some 1800mah batteries. I am wandering how true that can be though!
I purchased some of these batteries for my thunderbolt and didn't notice any difference, not sure if i want to spend that much money on sth like this again !
It'll be good to know if anyone has actually tried these on their droid charge ...

When I had the Nexus S, there was a huge topic about the 1800 mah batteries from China. The result? It was fake. So I wouldn't go for those. Just stick to the standard Samsung 1600 mah batteries or the extended ones.

Yup, just like the seido batteries on the droid incredible. Nothing but garbage but claimed a much higher rating in the same form factor. There was a huge thread on df about it where a guy ran a discharge tester with just about every battery that was sent to him.
OEM or the 2200 battery in the factory format must be new technology that the oem's haven't picked up on yet, lol lol lol
Because I can't post links yet, I unfortunately can't show you guys the extra batteries that I have. However, if you go to Amazon, and search "Hyperion Samsung Droid Charge i510 2 x Battery + Charger", you can see them.
For 25 bucks they're not a bad deal for two batteries, and I get comparable battery life to my original battery.
Wish i could have seen those earlier. I ordered two Samsung batteries and an external charger from ebay. The batteries are 1500 mah instead of the original 1600mah. So ill see how those work out...

I got the desk dock that another poster got from VZW. Fortunately, I got a 25% discount because of my company.
I had a bad experience with ebay batteries on my DX. The one I got on that will only charge in charger that came with it - not in the phone. And, then the phone does not always recognize that battery. Because of that burn I only buy OEM now.

One of the main reasons I like having a hacked kernel is the ability to use non-oem batteries (unlike the DX) - use something like the pbj kernels that incorporate that option. & Another reason I'm waiting on making the switch to a GB rom.

I'm using the the Hyperion batteries in both the GF's Tbolt and my Charge with no issues at all. Yes the wall charger is quite slow but I don't mind becasue I figure it's not hammering the batteries with a high rate charge.
Amazon had a samsung oem japanese built 1800mah battery
For 16.99 last week. Full charge start with heavy use and wifi teathering I'm at 15 hours with 25% left. Gonna run it down before I charge it again. Checked today price is at 18.99 now still a good price. Being shiped by simple cell.

I have an OEM 1800mah battery as well and it's goddamned adequate. I'm no legal expert but I'm pretty sure it should be a crime that the phone was released with only 1500mah.
just got my OEM 1800mah battery yesterday, so we'll see the results soon.. Plugged it in overnight and unplugged this morning before work.. so we'll see how it holds up by comparison..

My Thunderbolt's battery life has started to decline fairly signficantly over the last month or so (no new ROM or apps to my knowledge). I've had it for over a year and a half, and I have used it extensively so I'm guessing it's just normal charge capacity reduction over time. I am wondering what's the highest capacity battery (in mAh) that's available which fits the stock case? The stock battery at 1400mAh seems like it's fairly low for the size of the battery, so I'm hoping there's newer/aftermarket ones available which fit the stock case (the phone's big enough) and adds some battery life.
The rezound battery is higher capacity and fits perfectly.

Cool, I thought I had read it does fit, but I wanted to be sure before I placed an order.
mugen makes a 1900 mAH extended rezound battery that will fit the bolt's stock battery door. AFAIK, 1900 mAH is the largest capacity that will fit without adding the bulk of the extended door.

Nice. What's that cost?

Thats what i keep running in to! Buy bigger batterys and get the same usage out of them as I did with a stock one....
Done the same think on EVO 4G, EVO 3D, and the Thunderbolt...
So I just keep the stock battery Running LS 3.2 on the thunderbolt and can get 1 1/2 days out of mine but I have full 4G LTE signal all the time.
I Have the Seidio 3300 fits STD. Oversize case last All day... Don't know about stat reset but a Full charge & let it go to off & recharge full gives me 12-16 hrs heavy use..which is acceptable... I can burn a stock one to 0. In 3-4 hrs... Good luck!

I use the Rezound standard battery in my T-Bolt gives me all day juice unless I'm really heavy using. I love the fact that I don't have to use the extended battery / case door is awesome. If I'm going to be out and about away from power I just throw the extended on there.

+1 for Rezound battery. I'm actually happy with battery life of my Thunderbolt with it. Just needs ICS.
So its been a full week of testing this battery on my infuse and no lie its amazing. It last about 2x the original battery with full usage. Use as in playing game for 1hour and 30 mins= average 13% drain. Use of Facebook,YouTube, and generally anything that uses the web for about a good 6 hours(not in use every min) average 27% drain. Then next day still have a good amount to last me through the day. First day around 55-65% and second 49-2 or dead. Its really nice, infuse not as heavy(pretty much same weight). Case fit perfect, durable and nice feel to it.

Something like this?
http://www.amazon.com/Green-Externa...347898124&sr=8-9&keywords=3000+mah+power+bank
Looks pretty good, only $17.25
Assuming you want to carry something extra around, I guess there are two possibilities:
Option 1 - carry spare battery (charged to something like 80%... avoid 100% to extend battery life)
Disadvantage: Have to open up phone (always possibility to contaminate) to replace battery, possibly daily if that's your pattern. Might confuse your battery monitoring widget program and possibly the built-in battery %-remaining feature.
Advantages: In the time it takes to swap battery and boot back up, you're done.
Option 2 - carry a power bank which can charge your battery in a few hours.
Disadvantage - takes a few hours plugged in to get back. Doesn't really have much way to know how much juice is left other than LED when fully charged
Advantage - don't have to open up phone or reboot.
Thanks for the info. Since I did spend some money (a whole $8 on my 3500 mAh), I will try to get use to it rather than switching. Hopefully, someone comes up with a case.
However, that is an excellent idea with the battery power back up for when we lose power (happens more than I would like). Keeping one of them around would have some advanatages.
Edit: cheap ebay 3500 mAh is now draining faster than my regular battery. Might not need to worry about the case...

Hows the battery doing 5 days later?
I experienced a drain on the 3500 and the 1750 stock battery for several days. I had to switch ROM builds but didn't put the other battery back until last night. Right now it is plugged in so I will report back in a day or two.
Edit. Using it two days now and it drains as fast as the 1750. Will give it one more day then back to OEM and Bodyglove case.
Sent from my SGH-i997 using xda premium
Battery lasted one day running really well and the next day (after recharge) drained twice as fast. Went back to standard battery and am using this as a back up now. Very disappointed in the quality.
I tried one of these when I had a captivate and had the same issue. First charge was great but it got to where it lasted the same as the original battery. You have to go Anker or Mugen for descent quality batteries.
I might check it out. Thanks.

I wish you better luck then I had. First day was good, second day okay, third day someone pulled the plug on the drain. Drop very fast. Of course I could have just gotten a bad battery.
