Anker 2800mAh and GTMax 3500 mAh Batteries - my observations

I got a new battery, extended battery to be precise, from Amazon. I felt it was a good deal $12.99 + Free Shipping and ordered it. I got it in 3 days after placing order.
First battery observations:
Anker 2800mAh Extended Battery and Back Door for Samsung Infuse 4G, I997 - White [With a Free Card Reader]
I was kinda skeptical on how it would fare.
I popped the battery in my phone, put it on charge to 100%. And took it off.
After about 24 hours off the charger, here are the stats:
1. Standby: ~24 hours
2. Display: ~2 hours
3. Calls: ~2 hours
4. GPS: ~15 minutes
5. Brightness: 50% of time on auto, rest of the time at ~12%
Current battery level: ~52%
I will update this post with new observations when the battery comes down to 5%.
Note: This is still the first cycle since I got the battery. I think battery life will increase slightly after a couple of cycles.
============================================================
Second battery observations:
GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh) observations

Observations at ~50%
Observations at ~50%

Observations at ~2%
Observations at ~2%
Standby: 1 day 23 hours 8 mins 8 secs
Voice calls: 2 hours 32 mins 18 secs
Display on: 6 hours 8 mins 4 secs
Display was at 12% for ~1 hour of display, and rest of the time in auto.
Note: There are some minor "ups" in the graph. Looks like battery is setting itself now. See the charging component below, its not on charge the whole of the time. Maybe once the battery calibrates itself, it will all flatten out. Also note that this this the first discharge cycle of this battery.

I got the 2 pack of 1800mah batteries and they get an average if 17-19 hours of usage, they're great in my opinion. I wish they had this option when I was looking for batteries. Is it a Sim battery or does it need a new back plate?

They sent me a new back plate. Its chubbier.
Its about 1.5 days plus on standby, with about 3 hours display and 3 hours calls, and battery is at about 35%. Pretty good so far, I must say.

Added observations at 2%. Looks like you could buy this battery. Its worth the @12.99. Plus, its literally doubled the time off charger.

Can you post pictures please?

I actually meant the picture of your phone with the battery. I was curious as to how thicker the phone would be with such a bigger battery. Sorry, I should have been clearer.

When I held it for the first time, it felt a little heavier, but that's expected. Been using since I got it, and hardly feel any difference now. Only thing is, I can't use my existing phone cases anymore.
I think the link in OP also has a pic with phone with this battery on.
Edit: It doesn't. Let me see what I can do.

GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh)
I had ordered for another extended battery too, just in case the first one didn't work out.
GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh) + Black Cover for AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G i997
At $9.47 + Free Shipping , I thought it worth the risk.
Trying this one out. Will post updates here on this battery too.

Reserved for observations on GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh)

I guess using a case is out of the question if you are going to use an extended battery. Battery life means little if I can't protect my phone.

I too thought so. But no one sees the back when you put down or hold. And its a small minus given the battery life.

I've had this one for quite some time. Real good battery. Downsides are the lack of case. Since I rooted and loaded the Zeus rom, battery life has improved dramatically. So the extended battery is less of a need for me. I get over 12 hours on a single charge easily. Someday I'll have to pop this puppy back in and get some numbers to post.

Thoughts on Anker 2800mAh extended battery?

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-2800mAh..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334003101&sr=1-2
And for Canadians:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Anker-2800mA...094292?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item336f077ed4
Any thoughts on this battery? Has anyone tried it out? I've heard good things about the Anker 1550mAh battery for the O2X/G2X, so I'm kind of optimistic about this one. However, I recently ordered a GTMax 3500mAh from Amazon.ca, so I'll reserve my decision on purchasing this one until I'm able to test that one out.

I have a cheapo Amazon "3500mah" battery which after testing turned out to be only a little over 2000 mah however the Anker batteries appear to not bullsh¡t about their numbers so I would say using logic and past experience that it would be legit and worth it if you want the extra junk in your trunk ( or pocket)

Don't be quick to be hating on the bohemoth.
I have found that when you first get a new battery there is a "break in" period. Not that this time will make any difference in performance long term but it normally takes a few charges or even as many as 10 to reach its peak mah capacity.
This has been documented on a few threads in this forum.

Yup. Will do. I've seen a lot of people talk up battery monitor widget, so I installed it on my current battery to get used to how it works and so I have some old data to compare to.
I also started using Juice Defender. Hopefully that doesn't skew the data. Well, I guess technically it doesn't matter as long as it skews it the same way.
Anyway, Amazon currently estimates a Wednesday - Thursday arrival date of next week. I'll update asap!

Right on yeah I'm a big jd fan too. Pisses me off from time to time but the 1.7x battery life is totally worth it for me. As far as I have seen there is no interference between jd and bmwp thanks for the update
Pin it to Win it.

Pretty sure JD is a necessity to Android; everyone I know has it and loves it (including me)
Related note: I received the GTMax 3500mAh I mentioned in the first post and am currently taking it through some cycles. I gotta say that it's a very noticeable improvement. I'm only on the first cycle, so we'll see if it gets better/worse. I'll be sure to post a comparison between the two (stock and extended) once I've had at least five full cycles.

Ok.. got my battery last night! First off, the place that shipped it got it here on Monday when Amazon estimated Wednesday at first, then moved it to Friday. So I'm already impressed with the third party provider.
Photos are attached.
First is the G2x with regular battery (and no TPU case that I normally keep it in)
Second is the 2800 mAh battery sticking in it for reference
Third is with the 2800 mAh case on.
I charged to 100 yesterday, and it's been running for the last 23 ½ hours, and it's at 40% currently. I've been using the hell out of it too just trying to kill it: Draw Something, Defender, texts, google chats, email, WiFi on all the time (but again, JD is running).
It's obviously bottom-heavy now with this beast in it, so that's taking some getting used to. I actually like it when the phone is being held vertically, but it kind of drives me crazy when I'm holding it horizontally. I'm sure I'll get used to it.
One thing that screws with all my plans - LG released 2.3.4 update yesterday too before I knew this battery was here, so I unrooted, flashed the updated and re-rooted. I'm now running 2.3.4 stock/root rather than my EB AOSP ISC ROM I was running before. I thought I'd have 3-4 days before the battery was here.
Anyway, more updates as I manage to kill this thing and see how it goes.
EDIT - going to bed. 29 and a half hours into first charge, at 30% currently. Will update tomorrow after work, once I 0 it out and recharge.
EDIT - 44 hours on first charge, almost exactly. Monday night at 7:47 to Wednesday afternoon at 3:51. Starting charge up now.
EDIT 3 - Uploading some usage photos. I think I'm an idiot when it comes to Battery Monitor Widget. Frankly most of this just doesn't mean anything to me, and the place I think I should see mAh estimate shows nothing. Anyway, this is normal daily usage - mostly some chatting, email, WiFi (because work appears to be build in some kind cellular Faraday Cage), lots of Draw Something, Temple Run and Defender 2. For some reason Defender doesn't show up.
Edit 4 - These screens were taken at 6%, and it easily could have lasted more time. I just wanted to charge it up and be done for the night.
Anyway, after a week or so of using this, I think it's a solid battery, but one that I'll probably pack away as a spare for weekend trips when I don't have access to a charger. I have dedicated chargers at home and work, so battery life isn't much of a concern.
For $12 I got this battery, a free USB "universal" card reader, and very fast shipping. Totally worth it.

Sounds really promising so far. The thickness is about identical to the 3500mAh one I got, but the Anker seems to outperform the GTMax so far if I compare your experience to mine.
How's the temperature? Is there a sensor?

Battery Monitor Widget measures the temperature, though I don't know how accurate it is.
I've not seen it pass 26 degrees. Stock was running 34.5 degrees when I popped it out.

Yeah I know BMW measures temp, but when you look at the graph does it show any fluctuation at all? BMW gets the temperature information from the battery's built-in temperature sensor. If it doesn't have one, all the graph will show is a straight line.
This GTMax battery gets pretty warm. Especially when charging. I'm charging it right now and the temperature is about 41C... which is hotter than the stock.
I'm definitely leaning towards this anker battery now

Those estimates aren't correct. My JD was telling me 1.9x battery, but I stopped using it and my battery lasts longer because the phone doesn't wake up every thirty minutes.

New Battery Required

Hello I live in Karachi, Pakistan and using my galaxy for about year ever since I jumped to ICS the battery is awful I could barely WIFI 1hour or internet surfing.
I am looking to buy powerful extended battery with a range of $15 to $20. can anyone recommend me a battery?

I bought a 1800mAh battery from Polarcell a few days ago on ebay. Same size as the original 1500mAh battery so you dont need an extended back cover.

+1 for PolarCell
This 1650 mAh is also good, it's meant for the I9001 and I9003. Original Samsung battery...

I recently bought two Pisen 1700mAh batteries from dx.com (Deal Extreme), and I've been very happy with their permormance.
Running CM10, Semaphore kernel with Deep Idle my phone easily goes two to three days of moderate use without recharging.
Battery drain during sleep is pretty much nonexistent, 8h of sleep results in max 2% drain.
Might be better stuff out there, but I'm happy, and they were dirt cheap

After half year of usage i can say that the Pisen 1700mAh is a good replacement. Medium usage of the phone = 3 days of battery life, 3g internet on all the time, running JB4.2.

2680mah battery review

Hey Guys!
I just wanted to share my experiences about this battery I found. I bought it on amazon, and tested over a few days with BMW on.This battery had an estimated 2700 (!) mah (estimated by battery monitor widget after 5 charge/discharge cycles), and its real. I really tried to kill it fast with wifi hotspot,bluetooth on, while streaming video from youtube over 3g, and it lasted 4-5 hours ! This battery worth every penny of its price! So much win with this one! I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants a new battery!
Since I am a new member, I cannot post my picture, please make it yourself:
dropbox.com/s/wdcfqx4zdp0oqu5/2012-11-18%2010.25.37.png
You can find it on amazon, or ebay!
Sorry for bad english!

Is it normal or double sized? If it's normal sized I'd highly doubt that the power declaration is right. Could I see a link please?

It is slim, so goes under the original back case. I cannot post a link here since I am a new member or I dont know why, so please copy this into the browser:

I added a picture to the original post, please check it.
I have a Polarcell 1800 too, but this 2680 (produced by Ecell) is way more powerful!

Actually it looks like one of these fake batteries. Please test it for some more days and report back than - I'd appreciate that very much

These 'Golden Business Batteries' are something to be taken very carefully. I have one that was supposed to be a 1930 mAh one, but lasts way shorter than the stock 1500 mAh one.

That's why I'm saying. It's nearly impossible to get that big amount of capacity into such a small battery I'd say.

Look I would not suggest if it would be fake. I am using this battery for more than a month, and its real. I read those ****ty reviews about the 2430mah gold battery and others.. Just google it, you would not find any bad review from this 2680 mah battery, and its working like a charm. The reason the screenshot is just 5 cycle old is that I reflash my device almost every week becouse I am trying different ROMs, and I erase every data connected to the battery.
I just wanted to share my experiences, becouse I didnt find any review about these batteries. It is up to you if you are brave enough to buy one.

thanks for the review!!

So how Ia the battery holding up nowadays? Because im really dissapointed with getting a new galaxy s3 and its battery gets used uo so fast. If your going to get a smart phone they shiuld be smart and allow the customers to fully exhaust all its features. I hate apple but always had a iphone and the batery never let me down.

Working very well for me still, seems to not lose any of its capacity. It can easily last for two days with massive usage.

possible to guess the weight?

Not to hate on Apple, but oh please. My sister switched to iPhone (4s) recently after being fed up with faults on her HTC, battery life being one peeve, and I still see her charging her phone several times a day.

I'm not saying that all high capacity batteries are bad.
But my experience with a high capacity battery is not so good.
I bought a year ago a Mugen 3200 mAh batt. Now after 1 year it charges very quick but also discharges very quick. My original 1500 mAh batt now lasts longer.

what is the bigest available battery for SGS ? and smone try it on JB ROM ?

powercell and anker batteries would be second best compared to original samsung batteries

thanks for review good day

Best battery?

What is the best battery for s4? I am buy aliex. What is your suggestion
I am sorry very bad english

I purchased the Anker 5200mAh battery a few months ago. Performance is great and I actually like the added bulk. I can easily get two days of battery with heavy use.

Anker 7800mAh. Best thing I bought so far. Makes your phone's weight similar to brick, but it's worth it. Lasts me 2 days.

My battery is not original may be it is 2600 mah may be ))) my screen time is 2 hour

What about the ZeroLemon ones? I've heard they're good

I've been using ZeroLemon 3000mAh batteries for the last year or so. They're great. They add a tiny bit of bulk to the back of the phone, no big deal. You should know that they malfunction and deteriorate after like one year so you have to replace it then ASAP.

zerolemon 7500mah user here for a year now and this beast battery is still performing well...
heavy gaming ( clash of clans ) it gives me 13-15hrs Screentime...
charge it when im sleeping...
Moderate usage no gaming data connection on ( when is need to check something ) off when not in use. roughly 2-2 1/2 days.
my s4 can act like a powerbank aswell by the use of an USB OTG..

Ye, it is very nice choise! I have bought it to

Back then i had 2 choices.
To buy a new original battery which i am not sure if im gonna recieve a legit original one or just another knockoff. ( same screentime 3-4hrs max )
Or to buy a zerolemon which will definitely give me a better screentime guaranteed

Using the ravpower 2800 mah battery. I don't think there's a huge difference, but it lasts longer than the OEM, obviously because it's newer, but Aldo because it has that extra 200mah.
Can't go wrong with this battery, and it's only $10, compared to the ridiculous prices they're charging for the OEM version. Also, way too many counterfeit batteries out there to order an OEM.

Trying out one of these from Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/252115973831
But not real happy w/ it so far seems to drain faster than my Anker. Will give it a few charge cycles first to see if it settle down. Batterey Stat only showed it was about 3800 mAh, which is to be expected.

What kind of anker are you using? The standard 2600 mah battery? I heard nothing but good things about anker batteries.

Yes, have had one for almost 2 years now, working 100%.
Wanted to try this higher capacity ebay one, it seems to be working a bit better as it settles in.
You can't lose by using Anker though.:good:

I've got the same one, 4hrs SoT or sometimes more using YouTube, and about 3hrs-3hrs and a half of SoT when gaming...I think you got a faked one

Still not sure about this thing...seems to be drainer faster the more I use it. Was charged to 100% the other morning, just sitting on my desk no use, dropped to below 60% by noon. Contacted seller , who suggested draining it completely then recharge. Will give it a few more tries, and return if it doesn't improve.
Popped my Anker back in yesterday, thing works like a boss.
