The battery on the G2 looks almost the same as then one from the Touch Pro 2. Are they the same? I don't have my Touch Pro 2 anymore.
I did a comparison at the corp store. It's a bit thicker (you can feel with finger).
All you have to do is to flip the battery and cut the corner by the connectors, but the thickness may block the back cover even though it's 0.3mm thicker.
Good to know. The G2 might actually use the same battery as the HTC Eris and Dinc. Anybody can confirm that? I want to pick up a couple of batteries and a charger on ebay but don't want to pay a premium price just because they are listed for the G2 only.

Damn HTC , may wanna check the form factor of the battery it self.
I have a mytouch slide which has the same battery as the g2, 3.7v dc 1300mah
Thing is, not only would you have to flip it face side down to align with the pins, but the nub is backwards making the ass end of the battery stick out a bit too much, dunno what snappin that lil peace off would so as Im not a battery geek, and Im not sure how far the cells inside and its caseing are etc :\

+1 man the battery life for my G2 is better then my N1 but I think my N1 had a bad battery because mine was so horrible compared to what people had. Then again how would that work with this battery door

Definitely, the battery life gets me through the morning and afternoon but need a little more juice to get me through the night. I'm one heavy user

Really if i last till 4pm that is like heaven for me. I have charger in my car and work but still i hate that i have to keep my phone on the charge all the time I will be looking for a 1800 battery to replace the OEM battery
Here's to that.
Haven't had my G2 long, but the few days I have I've been around 20-25% at 5pm. I take it off the charger at 6am when I head to work.
Used a 2300mAh in my G1 - it spoiled me!
So I'm guessing no one has any information regarding if there is any extended batteries for the G2 yet? I just got my G2 yesterday and I pulled it off the charger this morning at 6:30 a.m for it to be dead by 4:30 p.m. I definitely want something to last a little longer than that.
As far as I've seen, there aren't any extended batteries yet. But the phone did just come out. It's going to take the case/accessories/battery companies a few weeks to get stuff shipping, I would assume.
If the battery in the G2 is the same as the one in the Droid Incredible (I am just speculating, they both seem to have the same specs), there is a slim extended 1750 mAH from Innocell on the seidio website.

Don't waste your time with the Seidio extended battery. It is nowhere near the 1750 that it is rated at.
Take a look at this thread: http://androidforums.com/incredible-accessories/98877-seidio-liar-liar-your-pants-fire.html
I can confirm that the Dinc battery does not fit into the G2, due to the tabs built into the corners.
Edit: you would also have to put the Dinc battery in upside down to align the contacts.

I remember reading somewhere that the G2 battery is the same model as the HTC Wildfire battery. Of course I can't find where I read that now. Does anyone know if that's true? I hope so, since G2 batteries on eBay are $30, whereas Wildfire batteries are only 5 bucks.

Actually, upon searching ebay for "HTC vision" batteries Wildfire batteries kept popping up in the titles. Given that there's already extended batteries for the Wildfire that don't seem to be out of proportion, I'm thinking I'll be the guinea pig on this one.

Let us know if it fits! If so, what the difference in MaH is as well as real-life percentages please! I'd love to have a slightly bigger battery, just so I can make it through the day with WiFi on all day...
Superfly has reported in the battery thread in General that he is using a Seido from the Incredible. He is reporting nothing but goodness about it. He did have to slighty trim a corner to get it to fit though.
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Standard-Li...151848?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2b951fe8
I found this. But, its kinda expensive.
Do you think there will ever be an extended battery made that will allow the use of the stock back? I only ask becuase I use the media stand to charge my phone and want an extended battery, but want it to fit with no issues.
Hopefully someone can make one.
Define extended battery??
They have a 1600mah battery that fits in the stock back made by Seidio. It costs like $60 dollars. Seidio batteries are never the mah that they advertise.
http://batteryboss.org/
The N1 1600mah Seidio tested at 1305mah real world.
So to be honest, the best "extended" battery you can get is to buy a new OEM Samsung battery which will actually truly be 1500mah.
There's this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933184
I will be back to read this one too....
I haven't seen any. Best bet for now may be to just get a second battery and charger

Yea, I have to say your pro9bably better off just using multiple oem batteries. You can actually find some pretty good deals online on both ebay and amazon.

I was looking on Ebay, and I came across this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/X2-1800mAh-...ccessories&hash=item27be899b8b#ht_2747wt_1144
$12 for a 1800 mAh battery for the Epic 4G touch! This is good news considering it would fit in the Epic 4G's battery slot, correct?
One thing that threw me off was:
"Compatible with :
SAMSUNG i9100 GALAXY S 2 II
EPIC 4G TOUCH SPH-D710 SPRINT (Not for Epic 4g)"
It still works with the Epic 4G though right? The statement is wrong?

So don't trust it? :\
That's not the OEM 1800mAh battery from the Epic Touch....sorry to render this thread meaningless lol
Go fat ($8 "3500mAh" battery) or go home if you want better battery life IMHO
What about this then?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BATTERY...ccessories&hash=item19c904ec86#ht_1265wt_1144
Btw I have a 3500 mAh battery, but I would love to find a battery that would give a significant increase and still look the same.
If you don't buy the Genuine Samsung 1800mAh battery then there's no difference between buying those or ebay batteries marketed as OG epic batteries. Take for example your 3500mAh battery. If you bought it from a reputable company (seido, mugen) than you can expect that 3500mAh to be about 2450mAh (about 70% of stated capacity). OEM batteries are pretty much exactly what they're claimed to be (96-100% of stated capacity).
So unless you get a really good deal and like swapping out multiple low cap batteries it's usually better to just buy OEM.
I just bought 2 Anker 1800mah batteries I will let you know how they hold up.

then clearly you don't want the longer lasting battery i have the OG epic with the Hyperion cover and battery you think yours is going to add bulk hah. Yeah right.
Mine has bulk and after a few days got used to doesn't hurt my daily routine at all, still can access it out of my pocket, etc.... yours w/extended battery will be the size of my phone stock. or a tad bit bigger.
He doesn't want an extended door. He wants a slim battery with a little extra juice. Stop forcing things on people when they've clearly stated that "isn't" what they want and when the thread itself isn't about what your trying to shove down people's throats.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I have the Seidio Active X case and love the look and feel of it, no I don't want an extended battery. The stock 1500mah battery will get me through a little more than half a day, I don't mind swapping out batteries from the wall charger once a day. I asked if anyone has used the Hyperion 1800mah so I know if it will fit like the OEM epic touch battery will.
I appreciate your suggestion and have looked at extended batteries and I'm simply not interested in that. I guess its a matter of preference, you prefer one big ass battery that will last all day, I prefer 2 stock sized batteries to get me through the day.
Back to my original question since it never got answered, has anyone tried the Hyperion epic touch 1800mah battery and is it the same size as the oem? K, thanks.

Ok? But he already said he didn't want that, yet you continued on about why he should get it anyway and ignore the bulk cause it's worth it, ect?
There's also that whole factor of what the thread is about.
1800 mAh battery <---note the title, there's plenty of other threads for larger capacity battery discussions.

Forget it because you clearly dont understand its not worth arguing why trying to explain things. He will make his decision and we all can move on.
I finally upgraded to the 1800 mAh OEM battery, and now rarely go below 50% usage by the end of the day. I'll probably swap the one in the wife's Epic 4G soon too. Love it so far.

Well I think the guy has an OG Epic and wants to use a generic battery for the epic touch with it, while you keep saying that your phone, being the OG epic, is fat as hell and I think that what your getting from this is that he has an Epic Touch, which I doubt considering his sig, I could be wrong though.

Where did you get this? My stock battery is 1500 mAh, same with the other two Epics here in the house. I got a 3200 mAh battery and I enjoy the capacity even if it makes holster options very limited. It would be nice to find a slightly roomier battery that didn't need a new back cover to get for them - and maybe me. I rarely dip below 70% on this monster, so it might be nice to have the slim 1800 and save my 3200 for days when I know I'll need that double capacity.

Thanks.
I just bought a 5200mah Hyperion battery on Amazon for $22 shipped. I used a 4200mah Hyperion on my S3 and it worked like a champ!
I'm waiting for Gorilla Gadgets to release an extended battery for our S4. I'm using their 3500mah battery on my old S2 and it increased the screen time from 3 hrs & something to over 8 hrs.
What would be the price you expected for Gorilla gadget?
If it is similar, I may give it a try!!

When I bought it for the S2, it was around $25. I'd imagine that the new S4 one will probably sell for between $40 to $50.
when buying an extended battery, what are the things to look for to make sure you are getting a quality battery that's not worse than the stock one?

i bought some from this web. it is ok .good price.
I'm in Canada, with Rogers and have had a SR for about 18 months. Time for a new battery mid-contract.
But Rogers doesn't sell them any more. Nor does Best Buy, Future Shop, the Source etc. There are lots of phone vendors around, but I find that they sell them at $20 - $30, and they must be used, because even after a few cycles and battery calibration, they are usually worse than my old battery. I've bought two from Pacific Mall, they were awful.
I've been told that unless Samsung sells it to you, it's a refurbished battery. Don't even know what that might be.
So with the retailers no longer stocking batteries for non-current phones, where does one get a NEW Skyrocket battery in Canada?
Also looking for a Verizon Samsung Nexus Extended Battery (2200) as per another thread here. They are gone! Nobody has them. I'd love to try one on my Skyrocket, as it's a higher capacity and most say the fit is not an issue, but nobody seems to sell those either. Ebay sellers are out of stock with no idea if they are coming back in.
Is this what it's come to? Do you throw your phone away after 18 months???

I'm in the states but it looks like amazon.co has a bunch of market sellers who have EBL1D7IBA the main worry would be if it's really used.
I have a Nexus extended that i'd part with. Used it in my SR till it broke. Now i'm using my girls until I upgrade.. just hit me up in PM with an offer..
Have the oem battery from my SR too.. obviously used, but figured i'd throw that out there too.
Its here if you want it. Its $50 though..

If you can have someone in the US order it for you Sprint is offering the OEM Galaxy Nexus battery (2100 mAh) with battery door for free with US $6.50 for shipping you would have a steal at your hand.
I ordered one for my SR last time they had the same offer and though the extended battery is a snug fir under the regular SR back cover it does last about 2-3 hours longer with moderate to heavy use as compared to the original.
Here is the quote;
"Sprint offers the Samsung Extended Battery Bundle for Galaxy Nexus for $49.99. Coupon code "BATTERY1" makes it free. With $6.50 for shipping, that's the lowest total price we could find by $28. It includes a 2,100mAh lithium ion extended battery and battery door."

Thanks!
I just ordered this online too. Does this ship to your house or do you have to pick it up at a sprint store? mine says pick up in store? I guess it doesn't really matter.
Also, Does this battery really last longer than the OEM one? i've had mine for about 18 months now and its time for a new one. Can't beat $6.50 though. Awesome find!
