Not sure what you mean by too short??
revol.epic said:
Meaning their was space at the bottom and you can slide the battery up and down. Something wouldb need tob hold it in place. And our battery thbe 1500 is too long for the epic touch won't fit. My hardware is d700.0.5
What hardware version do you have? It is possible I have a newer version a mine was made in may 2011

Seems that if it's too short you could just glue/wedge a piece of cardboard along the bottom edge. Seems like a pretty good way to get 20% more battery life.
Cool!! If these hit $8 let me know!
Wow, awesome.. I was surprised when my friends galaxy SII battery fit perfectly in my epic..I was beginning to think that my battery was failing me.
Awesome.

I bought a $45 1600mAh seidio battery (from amazon), and for some reason the Stock battery was better..
GO figure...
Stock is 5.8mm
Seidio is 6.3mm
(on the widest thickness)
the 1800mAh is in the phone, and i dont feel like pullin it out, but its slightly larger then the Seidio battery.
This battery is way better then stock & Seidio...
--Right now im on 1day 2hrs
-- I have Facebook, Gmail, Exchange Account, Market, & BW Weather that auto updates in background...
--Display on for 1h 30m
--Talk time is 55m

Oh man this has got me psyched, if this helps the epic will definitely hold me over the few months.

This also works for the Vibrant. Pretty sweet for us!
1800mAh Battery Size is:
51.5mm Tall
50.83mm Wide
6.15mm Thick (at thickest point)
So its thinner than the seidio battery
I got my epic on the release day.

there seems to be a possibility that the two hardware version released, hae a different fit for the battery. D700.5 released first, then changed to D700.0.5 a month or so after release

wow that looks really good, it even comes WITH a Battery! hmmm tempted.... nice to have a spare battery but so far these days my battery lasts me the whole day which is all i need... always a good idea to have a spare though
I'm not certain whether that offer is really outstanding...
The battery is sold seperately for 7-8 USD (shipped), the charger is one of those that you'll get for almost nothing. That leaves 18-20 USD for the Dock.
Not too expensive for a dock but for this amount I'll think twice about a purchase.

Battery goes in upsidedown (versus what the stock battery looks like. Still 1300 mAh.
Base doesn't lean back as much as I thought it would. This definitely works with the T-Mobile HTC G2. Using the battery right now. Used the dock to charge same battery and connect to the computer to download the photos.

That's cool, but this phone is already huge, in the picture it makes it look like it adds 20% more height and 10% more width. For battery it might be worth it tho, hehe. Anyone know how much it is? ... oh just saw $70 ... ouch, hmm. I bought an original second battery on eBay for $20, and it's doing the trick for those times when I run too low
Agree. A 2nd battery is good enough for me. Don't wanna add more weight / size to the phone

Don't worry bella, it's no bigger or heavier than the GIANT shells/cases/whatever many of us decide to put on our phones anyway.
It weighs 2 oz and ADDS 1450mAh battery capacity.
I'll probably get one to use on trips, etc. Not much of a daily driver for me at that weight. The Infuse weighs just under 5 oz naked.

I guess the reasoning is here that you have the 2nd battery already attached to the phone, and you don't have to carry it around separately somewhere.

*STING* ... lol, guess I deserved that, haha. If I see a big bulge in your pants, I'll remember it's your phone tho, so I'm not confused it might be something else, ehhe *sting back!*...
At 1450 mah it's not spectacular, but great for a road trip or flights to Asia... I'd just as soon carry extra batteries at $25 each, since I can get 1750 mah x 3 for the same price you paid for 1450, but I definitely understand the all-in-one concept, makes sense.
I wonder how long it will be before the line gets blurred between a 7" tablet and a 4.5" phone... I like the Dell streak aside from the fact it's dell, so maybe soon...

I do tend to think of my Infuse as a mini-tablet that is more or less pocketable. In fact, I haven't touched my iPad since I got it.
My fiancee did suggest I leave my phone in the car when we went to my daughter's kindergarten graduation today. It does create quite a bulge. I'm sure she didn't want me garnering any extra attention from the soccer moms. She tends to be the jealous type.

Yeh, I think guys and girls carry messenger bags or purses or some sort of backpack many places, so a few years ago I'd have called you crazy for suggesting a 4.5" phone, but now that I have one, I kinda want an updated 7" Galaxy Tab w\ voice\data capability. I almost pulled the trigger and bought the International Version of the Galaxy Tab 7" (it's unlocked, has voice and SMS enabled)... but given the slow processor I opted to wait until a more viable option comes out soon. I never hold a phone up to my head, and 90% of my use is text\data.... so I think it's my next natural step in evolution.
And LOL on the comment about the soccer moms w\ phone in pocket, hahaha

I don't think it will make that much of a difference. It's the same as plugging it into the charger. Besides, the stock battery is replaceable and cheap.
Now if I were using the offGRID case on the iPhone, I might wonder about the long term effect on that internal, hard(er) to replace and (more) expensive battery.

It seems like the offGRID Rechargeable Battery case for Infuse has disappeared from the AT&T site. I hope it still becomes available. I would only use it a few times a month but it sure would come in handy for those days.
in stock
has anyone found a link to this that is in stock?
So I went into work today and saw that we had receiving a shipment of extended batteries for the Infuse. I decided to purchase the battery for my phone since I was planning on buying a backup one anyway. Needless to say, the battery is larger than the original, much larger. It comes with the back plate to replace the factory one for the extended battery. When I put it in it had 63% charge, I have been trying to drain this thing all night to get it to turn itself off from no charge, so I can fully recharge it. It has been 9 hours and 2% is left. I will update this once I fully charge it, and post the screen shot of the full drain stats.
Be sure to upload some comparison pictures for good measure
I have a previous one from the original bat. Will upload both at the time. Currently At 91% after full charge phone been off charger for six hours or so

I know Radio Shack sells Digital Energy. I haven't seen an Infuse extended battery there but I have seen one for the Rumor Touch :/
I purchased a 3500mAh extended battery from amazon a while back. It also came with back plate. It was $9.99 + $3 shipping. I get amazing battery life now. Roughly like this.....
Very light-light use: 2.5-3 days
Medium use: 1.5 days
VERY heavy use: 14-16 hours.
It was the best $13 i ever spent on this phone...
The original battery was more like this.....
VERY light use: 22-24 hours
Medium use: 8-10 hours
VERY Heavy use: 4-5 hours
I work at the Shack. And i get about 28 hours mild to heavy use. Wifi gps and brightness always on. Still trying to get a proper screen shot. should have it up today. And the entended battery is two times tthe size of the original. Adds about an inch of tthickness to back of phone. Also weighs slightly more illget the specifics soon. Dont expect to find a case to fit, there isnt one. you could cut a hole in a silicone case but i havent ttried it.

Just curious, what do you consider "mild to heavy" use? That's a pretty vague scale.
And also, i think your ruler is a little off . There is no way the back ADDS an inch of thickness. Even with the extended battery, the entire phone isn't even an inch.
I dont have a ruler. I am not advertising ffor the battery i am just offering my opinions. To be more specific it adds 2-3cm to the phone thickness.
Mild to heavy meaning using my gps wifi and no auto brightness a majority of the day. I use waze gps, stream music, have a live wallpaper, apps like voxer words with friends and hanging with friends several widgets that update.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I'm not trying to be an ass, but maybe you should get a ruler, because i promise you it doesn't "add" anywhere near 2-3 cm(1.1 inch). More like 2-3 mm.
And i won't debate your intent, but no one will ever buy and accessory for a phone today that adds the bulk you are claiming.
---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------
What i was suggesting was being more specific about your usage. Not being on auto brightness and having widgets and live wallpaper doesn't really tell us enough information to come to a conclusion. And saying mild to heavy usage is like saying... Some days I barely use my phone and other days i can't put it down, and in both situations i get 28 hours of battery life. There is no possible way whatsoever that you are getting 28 hours on HEAVY use. Sorry, it just won't happen. Mild use? yes, without a doubt, but not heavy.
I honestly don't think you are purposely trying to lie about a product that you sell. But my main concern is that others may see these claims and expect too much or not enough. I have the same battery and i know these claims aren't true.
Like i said, i have the same battery and back cover and my ENTIRE phone is only 0.56 inches thick, using a micrometer. I'm not sure where your EXTRA 2-3cm (1.1 inch) is coming from.
Don't take this as a personal attack, i know it must sound like it, but it's not. I just want people to be properly informed.
I found one at my work and confirm that it adds only around 4mm or so more to the thickness of the phone. I didn't see anyone post prices, sorry if I missed it.. But this battery is $55. Not sure if it's worth that much to me if you can't get a case for it.

This is a looooong lasting battery! Received the extended battery yesterday and fired it up for a full days worth of use. I literally had to go out of my way to kill it by the end of the day because it would not die. My ATT Samsung Galaxy S4 is stock rooted, with most Samsung gestures and bloatware frozen (via Titanium Backup). The device was tested under the following criterion:
- 25% brightness (was mostly indoors, so did not need the brightness cranked up)
- 100% on 4G LTE (no wifi usage as the LTE modem is usually a power guzzler and i'm usually in a densely covered LTE area anyways)
- Bluetooth was on at all times
- Streamed music for 2 hours via bluetooth to car stereo (maximum volume)
- listened to 1 hour of music via headphones (40% volume)
- heavy web usage and chat programs was continuously engaged throughout the day.
End result? ~9.5 hours screen on time, with 10% left to spare (could easily push to 10.5 hours if I wanted to).
The finish of the extended battery cover was adequate. Fit is fine and easily snaps into place.
If you want me to do any additional testing or anything else, lemme know and i'll try to help!

any comparison pics of size?
Could you do a quick video review of the installation so we can get an idea of how thick this makes the phone?

I almost bought the Anker battery.
But someone shows pictures about Anker's wrong size in another thread.
What a pity!
Does Onite have right size? Does this extended battery fit well?
I hope to see the video of the battery.
Hmm take a picture on the gs4 using flash and compare it to using the oem bsckplate.
I've seen issues in the past where the extneded battery backplate causes a glare effect when using flash.

I saw my colleagues' Onite 5200mAh battery, and it did fit every S4.
They say good, but I won't buy this one.
I'm waiting for their legend 7800mAh extended battery.
Though that's only hearsay. I hope it is not a utterly groundless lie.
I just ordered one of these beasts for my tmobile Gs4 I should have it monday.thanks for all the great input on this battery guys. Takecare. ...

Do you find the Sony Xperia Z’s 2330mAh battery a bit lacking? If so you may want to check out Mugen Power’s latest offering. The specialist third-party provider of smartphone extended batteries, has announced a 3000mAh ‘Power Case‘ for the Xperia Z. Traditionally Mugen Power would provide a replaceable battery with larger back cover if needed. However, as the Xperia Z has a sealed enclosure this wasn’t possible. Therefore, judging by the picture it looks like the jacket provides power through the dock pins. Whilst the case takes away some of the clean lines of the handset it may be useful for those who do a lot of travelling. The battery ships on 12 July at a cost of $89.50 with free shipping worldwide.

I am thinking to order this one, need expert opinion on this power case!
Thanks.
Yeah me too, was hoping mugen or mophie would come out with a battery case, as they're reliable brands with a proven track record. I really considered getting the power bank but figured I'd wait for something more reliable like this to come along.

is it real anyone try this ?
So the Xperia Z then has a total of 5333mAh battery capacity, so that's a lot.

That's the power bank you'll find the discussion about that in another thread, this is for the mugen.

Im really surprised there are no reviews of the Mugen case online. You'd expect them to ship out review units before the release date.. Anyway not long to wait now before someone gets their hands on them I suppose.
89 bucks... jesus. I think I'm going with the ebay link.

MUGEN battery and ebay battery come from the same place...china
only reason Mugen cost so much because they been in business longer, these battery works but expect your phone to be hot. I have the power bank one and they work OK. I dont like the extra wideness of the phone.
Looks cool. Is that heavy?
This is gonna make the phone more uncomfortable to hold! Makes it too big.

check the other thread i made for the china one.. does nt make it look large at all and to top it its very nice feel and does not really spoil the look of the phone... quite satisfied with the product...
best part just 20 bucks and doesnt make your phone hot at all...
Anyone ordered this?
There's a demo video of this on youtube. Think I'll get this, it looks great and hopefully with a 1 year warranty it won't have the issues that's affected the cheaper chinese battery cases.

In China there are different quality plants that produce different quality devices. At Mugen Power we create our products using components that alone cost around what the other case costs on eBay. We can of course use batteries that long "expired" according to our standards - they will last for 6-7 months and you will have to buy a new one. We cannot really justify this, that is why we produce the batteries that will last 1.5-2 years and, yes, they cost the above mentioned money. Hope I cleared it up a little

Well that may be because it's expensive.. $90 is alot but still it's Mugen. I have seen people prefer to carry 12000mAh charger with them which can charge multiple devices. Rather than battery cases which increase the overall weight and size of device.
