Battery - 1950mAh - on ebay - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Anybody try these out? Or know anything about em. Like if their duds or isn't worth the trouble? Seeing as the OEM one is 1850mAh.

I even went wtf when I saw this one!

I have only had good results from anker and seido batteries. everything else has been hit or miss...typically about half the advertised capacity

which battery?

There are now like 5 extended batteries for the sensation.... which is most reliable. There are 2-3 1900mAh, one 1800 and one 2400mAh.... What is best and actually gives the biggest bump?
Anker 1900, for $10 wins have gotten excellent reviews on that thread
I would say the Chitech is also good but those are $20 and prob have the same performance as the Anker
Go with the Anker it has the most positive reviews I have one and I love it
I ordered the Chitech mainly for reputation and it has gotten good reviews as well. I don't mind paying an extra $8 (got 20% off with the OFF10 code) for reliability.
I ordered the Anker. Heard better reviews on it. So i went with my first instinct.
I like that Chitec is a little thicker than the OEM battery. This means the back cover will squeak less (I have stuck a piece of paper in there now ).
Is this also the case with Anker?

The Anker is the same way. It weighs 34.4 grams instead of the stock battery's 31.54 grams
First day using the Anker. Loving it so far!

Got Chitech and it works great.

very glad to buy this model!!!!!!!
Got a chichitec and its awesome. Also picked up an anker. Just started using it this morning. I bet it will be the same deal as the chichi. Feels like the same battery with a different label wrapped around it.

Thanks for the heads up dude, I'm definitely going for a Chitech one. It looks cool to me.
Chichitec rocks socks.
I completely discharged , then charged in the wall charger 3x. Then I kept it in the phone the next cycle, overnight, and the thing took off ever since.
I've been getting a full days use with, normal for me use, where im usually dying by 5 or 6 pm I'm now left with battery to spare when I go to bed between 10-12.
I unplug in the morning around 7 am.
Couldn't be happier, and for a normal day I wont need a spare. :-D

Anker battery?

I just read about somone mentioning it runs much cooler than the stock battery? Is this true? Can I find them at radioshack or something?

Yes, they run cooler than the OEM battery. Just order them off of Amazon. The two-pack with the charger is cheaper than one OEM battery even factoring in one-day shipping.
When I bought mine, I got a single battery + charger for $3 plus shipping on amazon.
You can find them at all different prices, and if you scout it out for a few days you'll probably find a great deal.
Go read through the whole anker battery thread in the accessories sub-section of the MT4GS forums, you'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about an anker battery.
it does but it doesn't have a temperature sensor, which is very bad imo for safety reasons

Post 2 of the anker battery thread is where I linked to the amazon page I bought it from.
I bought it on August 16th. The price fluctuates like crazy, so just keep checking until you see a good deal on it.
Yesterday they were 23-something at that link. Today they are 18-something at that link. Who knows what they'll be tomorrow.
As they run lower in stock the price goes down, then when they get a new shipment in the price goes back up.
When I bought mine, it was the last one in stock at the time.
Just keep an eye out.
Even at the mentioned prices the two-pack of Anker batteries is cheaper than one OEM battery of a lower mAh.

where did you buy your mugen battery

after reading reviews ,looks like i decided to get a mugen 1800mah battery,but the website
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...00mah-extended-battery-for-htc-sensation.html
have been out of stock for a few days now, i was wanting to know where did you get yours? i found some on ebay for 42.99
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUGEN-POWER...ccessories&hash=item2319fa803b#ht_5836wt_1344
and also in amazon http://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Extende...UDJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330918371&sr=8-1
for 46.99 , but Im not sure if these are original mugen batteries or just a imitation, so i was wanting some links or tips on where to buy it
THANKS for the feed backs
If you're going to order a Mugen, buy the 3600mAh battery. It's $100 well-spent.

i dont want my phone to be any thicker plus I want to keep using my trident case because it protects it a lot at my job. So does mugen 1800 battery last better than stock?

It's both better than stock and better than the anker (i have both). I roared mine on amazon, and it was legit.

Other than ordering it, I don't know. Checking the seller ratings and stuff like that helps determine if a seller is legit.

g2uzer, I had the same problem you did (Mugen being out of the MT4GS 1800 mAh battery when I finally accepted I had a bad pair of Ankers), but I found a workaround.
It turned out Mugen wasn't out of the 1950 mAh battery for the Sensation and I knew that the Ankers I was using also worked in the Sensation, so I took a chance. The fit of the Mugen is *very* tight (noticeably tighter than the Anker which I found a bit tighter than stock). I suspect that's why Mugen isn't selling them for the MT4GS.
Nevertheless it worked and I'm very happy with the results. The several days of 100% to near-zero usage Mugen recommends were painful. If I wasn't consciously heavily using my phone during the day (Bluetooth headset music, Bluetooth tethering my Transformer and plenty of screen on games/browsing time to boot), it would taked a fair bit of "work" (everything going plus max brightness and whatever else I came up with) to get to near-zero before I went to bed.
If you haven't gone in another direction, it is worth trying.

I'm surprised that this site hasn't been mentioned: www.mugenbattery.com. They're a US-based, authorized distributor of Mugen batteries with free shipping for orders over $50. I plan on purchasing my battery from them when my budget allows.

ATT store bestbuy extended batteries?

When I got my skyrocket I saw extended battery and case thing at the att store, didn't look at the mah of it though. It was like $80. Does bestbiy sell anything similar?
I see all these ones in this forum to buy online but I'm in desperate need for one right now. I kill my phone in 8hrs or less. If the att one is around the 3800 mark like these others I may just grab that. Didn't know if anyone saw anything at bestbuy though.
That's a Powerskin. It's a case with a battery built in. Other threads have more info.

Spare batteries

So im looking for a spare battery to use, what would you guys recommend? I read some good reviews about the anker battery but i dont like how its bigger and it makes the back bulge. Ive seen some ebay OEM batteries for a good price and also found these for extremely cheap http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-3000mAh..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item51aae2b2ed
Now i know these probably wont last as long as the oem battery but my question is is there any downside or long term damage that can occur to the phone itself by using these sub par batteries?
I'm also in the market for spare batteries + wall charger.. I had 3 for my old HTC Incredible, and it was an absolute luxury. However, I had to try 2 or 3 different companies before I found some that didn't lose their capacity

ebay r all crap, even the "OEM" one. just register ur phone and get 50% off any oem accesory.
i've used the anker batteries and it fits just fine. there's no bulge in the back.

Heck for $13 I might just try it. 3,000mAh that would fit in the OEM back would be awesome!

3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh
99% of the batteries on ebay seem to come from China/Hong Kong and these come from nanuet ny.
I don't know why I mention this but it did play a part in my deciding on these
If they suck, I'll have wasted $11 and I'll go ahead and order the onite or anker batteries
I'll let everyone know after I receive them
I bought the ones off of OP's link to Ebay as well. I'll post with impressions once I get them in. 3 batteries and a wall charger for $12 is nearly too good to be true... but I'm only out $12. We'll see.

It's exactly the same as the factory 2600mah battery,..I've done a comparison test and posted some screen shots of my results, I think I titled it Onite Battery Review ,.. so yes it's exactly the same size as the factory battery , they also make extended batteries,.I'll be testing a 5200mah soon, and there making an even bigger one than that soon ,.it's definitely a good battery

yea i saw it, but also i was thinking you could be a little biased since you've been a tester for them for a while
Not at all,..if they sucked I would say so as a beta tester that's what your suppose to do if, they send you a product test and you just lie about it, what's the point really? ..I don't take sides and I'm not getting paid to post positive reviews ,I got a battery, tested it, posted the screen shots,..I am in NO way endorsed by them lol.. just read other reviews or ask someone who has the same battery how they like it,.. Anker and all those other companies make good batteries also,...certainly a LOT better the trash you're gonna find on eBay,(which I have 4 from past phones , 2 which don't even work, the other 2 are 4500mah extended batteries that barely last 5 hours)
