Thanks for the review. Might be something to check out for.

Just got mine today. From ioomobile. They've got it on sale for $17 + free shipping (on their website) or $19 from eBay.
See how it runs over the next few days. Usually get around 35 hours (light/minimal use) or so on miui 1.7.8 on stock battery.
I'll post back after a day or two and report if it's any better.

35 hours on miui, holy ****.
I had to go back to cm7 because miui drained 2xs as fast
Edit
I just bought one, I had great success with my extended momax batter but it was just too bulky for me

If you've got the battery drain on 1.7.8 here's the fix (install as a regular app and restart)
Hope it helps. Worked for me, had terrible drain before the fix.

Interesting, thanks!
I haven't really been able to get back into miui lately though.
Once the huge redesign hits (apparently this week) I will give it a go

this is a very good battery i have it for 2 weeks and it does now 3 days one darky jvp base rom with normal use
1e charge about 8 hours from full then drain thil empty
trie to start the phone untill its do nothing then charge phone when he is off for 8 hours then go to clockworkmod with charge cable attached and wipe battery statistics now start youre phone and wait until it says 100 % unplug it and use it till the phone shutdown and charge again 8 hours with the phone off untill 100% power up the phone and wait til 100% is given then youre battery statistics calibratit with the bigger capacity.

for a stock fit this would be the best, if you want a larger battery with back then I would recommend their 2700

I've received my 1700 momax battery last week and it's very good!
2 days with medium usage and CM7

Could someone pls do a real test? white screen, max brightness screen on time till shutdown compariaon would be great. everything else ia just not really compareable.

I've had my Momax 1700 mah battery for about 3 weeks now and it's performing well. I have a noticable increase in battery life, deffinitely more than a day, up to almost two days depending on usage.
I'm not a heavy user, main usage would be a few calls, internet and bit of video/movie viewing a day.
I'm on Juwe's 5.3 ROM with a Semaphore 1.5/1.6 kernel. Am also just trying the latest GalaxianGT kernel and seem to be getting similar battery life.

"1e charge about 8 hours from full then drain thil empty"
what do you mean? a full battery then charge it again 8 hours? or charge it with external device? i dont understand. the rest makes sense but this is....

Got this battery from ebay (ioomobile user). I have it in my possession for one week now. It went through 3 full charge/discharge patterns and the beefed capacity is getting noticeable now. I'm easily getting 2 days out of my phone (~36 hours) compared to ~24 I was getting with the one year old original battery. I'm actually using my phone daily for music - emails - web browsing having the display on for about 3 hours/day.
I highly recommend this battery nor necessarily to the recent SGS owners but more to the ones having these gadgets for about one year .

Hey guys,
i wanted to know if its around the same size as the original samsung battery?

Yes, it's the same size.

Just ordered one from that seller, will write a short review when it arrives. Original battery after a year of moderate use is lasting 2 days for me with OC to 1,2GHz and UV.

Mugen coming out with super extended battery within 2 months! YES!

Pleased to inform you that Mugen is working on a super extended battery! Thank You, God! So within the next two months I can lay my hands on that very good bad boy! (and I mean the phone itself). lol
I'd been thinking between the G2X and the sensation. The Sensation seems to be the perfect-pretty-much-has-all-that-I-need phone. G2X is pretty much the same, however, I want a 4.3 incher, I don't particularly care for stock Android, I currently have the HTC HD2 and quite like the Sense UI (and 3.0 just looks fantastic!). Plus the colors of icons (I’m not sure what the term is, I’m not exactly a tech head, you know) and such on the G2X, from videos I've seen...I don't know..it just looks cheap to me. *shrugs* sue me, I guess. HOWEVER!! The G2X has an extended battery with Mugen. Now for PDAs(this suddenly sounds like an out-dated term, no?), not having an extended batter is pretty much a dealbreaker! I hate the idea of my charge lasting only a few hours. Ideally, my phone should last me at least 2-3 days with moderate use and a full day with heavy use. No ifs or buts!
So anyways, moral of story:- Now I can go for the Sensation since there'll be an extended battery out soon!! yay!!
Dear [....],
Thank you for your email!
Yes, the larger battery for Sensation is under processing at the moment!
Will release within 2 months!
Please contact me if you need any additional info.
Best Regards,
Jan

any idea on capacity?

Further Update:-( I asked about the possible capacity and if there might be a protective case that will work with the phone after extended battery is inserted).
Dear [....],
Thank you for your email!
The larger size should be over 3000mAh, I don't think we will work on the protective case for this model, I need to ask our marketing team!
Because our holster sales not really good, so we only have 3 models for the holster at the moment!
Please contact me if you need any additional info.
Best Regards,
Jan

"should be over 3000mAh"

This is good news. Have had my Sensation for a few weeks now and am looking for an extended battery.
Now if I can wait that long.... I mean I REALLY need one.

maybe you can get the chichitec or anker in the meantime. If I had the senstion now, I would.

should be over 3000mah, hmm.. keeping fingers crossed for that.

NOOB QUESTION: I have never bought a 3rd party battery. i found this one on mugen's site
http://mugenbattery.com/htc-sensation-extended-battery.htm
its 1800mAh. Is that going to be much better than the 1500 stock battery?
is quality an issue with lithium batteries?

I have had the mugen 1800mAh battery for about 3 weeks and it is better than stock, by how much?, tough to answer because i use my phone differently each time I turn it on.
For example, one time i might play a few rounds of field runners and angry birds with some texts thrown in plus a few calls, next time i might just check email.
as a guide only for my use i was getting roughly 12 to 14 hours on stock, now i get about 15 hours or so..not a huge improvement but any improvement is better than none.

The reason I like the Sensation is that it is 4.3" yet still thin and sleek. With CHICHITECH 1900 battery my Sensation easily last more than a day without much tweak, and it doesn't require any special battery cover or alter the thickness of the device. There really isn't any need to use a super thick battery to make the Sensation last for 2 days, that ruins everything.

You know, I've had my Sensation for 2 weeks now and Granted I have Android Revolution 1.1.8 on it, but haven't had any bad battery issues. Although, it seems to eat the most power while I'm sleeping. But I'm pretty sure that has to do with my backup. But it hasn't bugged me at all. The phone's battery definitely lasts me the whole day and then I charge up at night.
Are you guys really getting so little battery time that a bigger battery is necessary? Cause I definitely get about 18-20 hours before I hit 20%-ish.

Yes definitely necessary. Don't know how you manage to have that much up time. Well I know I'm a heavy user but still even if I was not I know I would not achieve that much on time. Not unless I started disabling things like background sync and other stuff like turning screen brightness down.
Hmmm.... Maybe your sensation is running on both cores of the dual core processor. Lol

invest in tasker. i did and i really can't be any happier. not only does it do a lot of stuff that i want automatically but it makes my battery last a lot longer. i have my phone set to auto sync every 15 minutes and i have my display turned down to 40% unless i open specific apps and tasker will turn the display up under certain conditions. it really has helped me get a lot more time out of my battery so you may want to try that first instead of waiting to invest $50+ in an extended battery

I will have check tasker out. Thanks.
This is my third android device and it seems with each upgrade I am always tryingto find new ways to extend my battery life. Pretty sick of it actually. I would like to by a phone and let it do what its suppose to do with out me tweeking and hacking. This is the first time I considered buying an extended battery vs messing with battery saver and task killer apps that actually end up preventing your phone from doing as it should in the first place.
Sorry done venting. Tasker looks like it may be the diamond in the rough. Thanks for the info.

chichitec, go with it for now if you need extended battery life. I did many battery cycle and tests with the 1900mah battery and results as follow: 44+ hrs for light users. 30hrs+ for medium and power users roughly 16-20hrs battery life.

Definitely a good question. I have the O/C daemon running 1.72GHz in OnDemand mode, and while the screen is off 276MHz.
I have 3 GMail accounts that sync contacts, calendars and email. I have 1 IMAP email account set to check every 5 minutes during peak hours and every hour during off peak hours. I have Titanium Media Sync set to backup all my pics and Ti Backup files to my FTP server whenever there's a change. I have SMS Backup+ set to wait 3 minutes after each SMS and back it up. I have WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS on at all times. I'm also using Chainfire 3D OpenGL drivers. I'm on stock screen brightness settings as they work well. I have my Facebook account synced as well. I'm about to add Google+.
So I have a lot going on. HOWEVER, I've removed a lot of HTC stuff I didn't care about:
Not using Rosie or Sense UI stuff (other than the lock screen). I've removed all the bloatware crap like HTC Hub, HTC stocks, HTC sync, etc... I've removed HTCs navigation crap and removed any applications I'll never use like Twitter and Peep and all that other junk. I'm using ADW with a static wall paper.
Hint: Sense UI and all its animated crap as well as live wall papers eat battery power like crazy. Even if your screen is off, that stuff is still processing stuff in the background. This is why when you're using the stock *everything* this 1.2GHz dual core phone runs like a Droid X. LOL Slooooooow.
Once I got rid of that crap and put ADW on, my phone became the super fast power-sipping monster it is now. Rare is the case of any lag or stuttering. Games fly and look fantastic. And everything works perfectly on my phone.
So there you have it... You can compare your setup to mine and tell me if you see where your phone's battery is getting drained like crazy.
EDIT:
By the way, I'm using Android Revolution 1.1.8 right now on the Unity v5 kernel.

{REVIEW} Feipusi 2200mAh battery

I ordered this battery off eBay a few weeks ago from HK.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170700946395?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I received the battery a little over a week ago. I immediately charged the battery overnight (at least 12 hour charge) and popped it in the morning. Throughout the day I normally; check my email, a few couple minute phone calls, some web browsing, updating apps through the market, maybe a few videos, and streaming music, and texting pretty much all day.
The battery seemed to be doing just as good as stock. Now after a few charge cycles I believe the battery is doing better.
I can easily get a day out of it on average.
Two days I was sick, so I just text a few times throughout the day and played a few games on the phone.. I got 48 hours out of the battery.
I tried killing the battery one day by watching videos, streaming music and playing games for maybe 6 hours and I still had about 25% left.
For only $6 shipped (it takes about 2 weeks to get from HK) I believe it is a good deal. I keep my stock battery charged as a backup, but so far haven't needed it. When I get home from work I normally still have 30 - 40% left and just throw it on the charger and take it off when I wake up.
It sure is nice not to have to worry about bringing a charger everywhere I go.
I am really surprised that the 450mAh increase made that much difference.
The battery also feels a little lighter.. I don't have a scale to weigh it on, but it does feel slightly lighter
Running R3velation ROM, Overclocked to 1.6GHZ - ondemand (voltage control), Undervolted -50v @ 100,200,400, sync is set at once a day I believe, automatic brightness, using WIFI only when needed, and GPS almost never
Overall... very satisfied.
PS.. my wife got her 3500mAh battery for her captivate. She is easily getting 2 days out of her battery.. I wish I could use it on my Infuse, but I use the Otterbox case... so it will not fit..

I got 2 of these for backup for my wifes and my phone. I use mine all the time. A bit better than the stock battery and for the price was very hard to beat.

Great find, thanks!
On the eBay page, the vendor says:
3. When first get the battery, use it out, charge for 10 hours for the first three times, use it out again, then it only need to charge about 5 hours for normal use.

No problems so far. And still getting a day out of the battery.

This battery need extra back cover or use the ordinary stock back cover?

Thanks for sharing. I had one of the double sized batteries with the extra back, but the battery wore out after only 6 months. I might just go for one of these.

I bought this battery after reading this thread. The battery is slightly more heavier. The battery life seems to last longer when the cell phone is in use but when the phone is on standby the battery dies quicker then the oem battery. Weird.

Those of you needing to know whats going on inside your battery, you need to find "Spare Parts" on the Market/Play Store.
There is a very in-depth app inside called simply "Battery Information"
There you will not only find your % of charge, but battery voltage and temperature, battery health and time since last boot.
Li-Ion batteries are tricky as they require no more than 4.2v, anything more can destroy the battery. Also, the cell is made to operate to no less than 3.0v, any less and the cell will "go to sleep", meaning it won't take a charge unless forced to do so.
Just some FYI, I did my homework on Li-Ion technology and figured I'd share a little...

Looking for a hi-capacity battery
I'll have a look at this....

Battery too weak?

Hello XDA Community, i'm a HTC Sensation owner and i got it from service 3 days ago (the phone had really frequent shutdowns and the battery only lasted like 2 hours even without using it). Altough it doesn't have those problems i experience a really weak battery... As you can see from the photos i only had a 9h and 20 minutes lifetime from 100%, with only 2 hours and 7 minutes Screen On... Today i played games around 1 hour, used the internet 5-10 minutes , talked for like 1 minute and sent 5 messages. Is it normal that a 1520 mAh battery drains so fast?

I had the same problem when I first got my Sensation. Mine was used, so the battery was already a year old, but the phone was mint. I had the same terrible drain as you have, and I hardly used mine during the day. I rooted it and tried a few ROM's, and found that so far, anything based on Bruce's CM10 gives the best battery life. Will defiantly be try the Viper ROM today though.
If you don't want to root, I would pick up one of these:

I'm going to be trying one out myself.

I bought mine used too, it was used for 8 months, ill try to purchase an anker then... Thanks!

Hi I had same issue, tried Anker it was a good battery but I still needed more juice . I went to Mugen 3800mah battery. Now with HEAVY use I get more than 24 hours use out of one charge! I can't stress enough what a difference this battery has made for me! Yes it is expensive but for me it was worth every cent! I am a heavy user of my device and rely on it for everything from navigation to internet to gaming. This is a serious battery , it solved all my battery drain issues ! One thing through, it does make you're device a bit thicker but it still fits in pocket and feels good in my hand. For me, battery life is what I'm after so I don't at all mind the thicker phone I'm not in a beauty contest, I wanted results! This battery delivers. If your a moderate user you might not need so much juice but if you're a heavy user like I am this battery is the answer! It will not disappoint! If you find Anker is not providing enough juice and want more time on battery, do consider Mugen 3800mah. You won't worry about running out of battery Again! This battery with HEAVY use will still be on 100% two hours later!! My biggest issue was battery drain and this battery solved that problem for me. Like I mentioned its not for everyone because it will make device thicker but if you're serious about battery life it's the way to go! So depending on your use this might be an other option for you. If you use your device heavily, I highly recommend this battery. Best wishes to you!
Sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1,kernel- pyd X stable 3.1 , Mugen 3800 mah battery. Please press thanks if I helped in anyway.

Thanks for the tip... I'm not such a heavy user of my phone but atm its still unbealiveable short on it's life. If i would take it out of the charger at 100% and play 1 and a half hour it will get to 1%...

Have you gave Anker a try? Most people here really like Anker and its given great extended battery. It's very affordable and I think it would be a wonderful solution to your issue.battery will make a big difference. You will see. My stock battery was absolutely pathetic. After I switched it was like night And day a huge difference! I believe Anker is only about 10 to 15 dollars and you won't regret switching. This is one solution to your issue. Best wishes. You can also try changing kernels and see if that helps but I think a Anker battery will really help in your situation.

Just thought I'd put my two cents in...
Whilst a higher capacity battery will help to some extent, IMHO it's like buying a bigger hose instead of fixing the hole in the bucket.
To clarify, I do actually own an Anker 1900mAh battery as well as the stock battery, but only because it was cheap and I was interested to see how much difference it made. I switch between the two on a regular basis. I can't deny the Anker certainly has a better cycle length than stock, but as I was already achieving well in excess of a full day's use on stock battery the benefit to me was negligible.
Another clarification, I'm not one of those people who will refuse to use their phone all day and then crow about their "amazing" battery life. You buy a smartphone because you want to use it. Mine is a work phone and as such is well used every day, making/receiving calls and texts, camera shots, VPN access etc. Then there's my personal use, web browsing, eBay, bluetooth audio every time I get in the car or work truck, e-books, games and so on. Not to labour the point but the phone comes off the charger at 6 am every work day and always has some life left when it goes back on the charger at 10 or 11 pm.
I guess, partly because of what I do for a job, I'm not a fan of "bigger hammer" solutions. There is a wealth of information here on XDA and you can greatly increase your battery life and cost you nothing but a bit of time spent reading. For a start I'd suggest looking into Battery Monitor Widget and/or Better Battery Stats (this thread).
I don't know if you're rooted or not, there are huge gains to be made with rooting and the possibilities that come with that. However, my wife's completely stock One S had absolutely atrocious battery life out of the box, and of course no possibility of increasing battery capacity, but with a few tweaks and better understanding she can still get a day's use out of her phone.
Sorry for the lengthy reply, but I see a lot of "get a bigger battery" responses to these questions when there are other options you can explore

best battery option without adding bulk

I was wondering if anyone can recommend to me a good extended battery that doesn't add bulk or the requirement of a special backplate to the s4?
I don't seem to have as much success as most people here on the phone with battery life, and if i'm lucky I make it to 3 hrs screen on time on each battery (I carry around spare batteries but this is still annoying).
Appreciate the recommendations

I don't believe there are any options for extended battery without bulk. You could do the zerolemon 3000 mah batteries. You get two of those and then you could always have a spare battery ready to swap when the other one dies. Other than that, you're going to add bulk if you want an extended battery.

Just ordered one of these. Hope my phone does not explode! I will report back but it will take time to arrive, maybe 20 days or more...

I would advise you not to use batteries by this brand. I've opened up an extended battery they made for the i9300 and discovered that they use spacers to add weight to the batteries instead of using two batteries like the reputable brands(anker,hyperion, zerolemon). The closest you would get to an extended battery is the 3000mah zerolemon.

The battery arrived today and I am giving it the first charge. I will see how it goes and report. I hope it does not mess up my device ...
So far I am using it for 30-40 minutes and it is charging and charge progress seems normal and the temperature also.
I will be back after a couple of days to share the whole experience

I was wondering if anyone can recommend to me a good extended battery that doesn't add bulk or the requirement of a special backplate to the s4?
I don't seem to have as much success as most people here on the phone with battery life, and if i'm lucky I make it to 3 hrs screen on time on each battery (I carry around spare batteries but this is still annoying).
Appreciate the recommendations

Would like to know how it performs as well
If its got a 2 year performance warranty they must be pretty confident in it

On their site it says i9500 ,does it work with i9505 and it fits on original back case ? I would buy it instantly if i could get over 4+hrs on screen with stock rom my max with stock rom is 3.5 but awerage is 3hrs.

It depends on your screen brightness. I am using an 100% stock rom. I get on a full day around 5 hours screen on time with my brightness ranging from 0% to up to 20%.
I also tried this, use the phone with the brightness set to 0%. I managed a staggering 1 hour screen on time while just losing 15% (was whatsapping for an hour).
I don't like the stock battery life as I have to recharge my phone twice a day.... I usually go leave the house at 7AM and come back at around 6PM with around 10% left. Then, I charge it fully and by time I go to bed, the phone already has lost around 40% battery (I use the speaker alot and download Torrents). Then I start chatting with friends in bed and go to sleep with around 10-20% left on the same day (although that's at around 2AM). Thus, even with my battery life, I can't make a full day.
Although I must say, I am a heavy user. I use whatsapp, browser, music player, snapchat, facebook and the camera to take pictures alot on a daily basis. I use my phone with the lowest brightness possible as long as I can see what's on the screen to prolong the battery life.

@hare899500 and 9505 has the same battery

As far as the battery issue, not much you can do.
Try another rom!
I'm on latest crash rom and look

Sorry I didn't get back sooner.
I use the Opteka exclusively and am able to get a full day, but it depends on how you use your phone.
They don't advertise a huge upgrade, it's only marginal. you will not get anything above ~2800-3000mAh to fit inside the existing back cover.
That being said, I have yet to have any issue with the Opteka brand.
They also make camera batteries and accessories.

So you think it is better than stock?
Going to replace my original at some point. I never really have issues, though. But they are so cheap I might as well do it before it starts to become a problem, I only go above an hour or two of screen time when I travel by air (can't imaging spending 20%+ of my waking life looking at a 5" screen...don't know how you guys can stand it, lol).

i have polarcell 2900mAh battery for about 2 months, and I am really pleased with it.
Ok, I dont have stock rom, but compared to stock battery it gave me a great results.
About 35 hours without charge, and 2h 40min screen on

Good luck with this one. Most ebay battery is faking the capacity, if the size is just same as the original battery, there is no way it can be 3000mah, u can't beat the physics law.
But I just got another ZNC battery from amazon for $3.99 for a deal [I'm a new user, can't post the link here, if you guys interested, can search 'ZNC battery' at amazon to get the deal]. I have been using it for 3 days from now, works great so far and last just like the original one. I'll report it back this weekend, if I got time for the capacity test.
