Touch Diamond 900 mah

I want a battery that is higher than 900 mAh but the same size as the original 900 mAh so I don't need to make the diamond thicker and replace the back cover.
Does it exist yet?

Wow 1200 MaH. Impressive.
It says it's compatible with Diamond doesn't say anything about needing a cover so that is a bonus!

Thanks for posting, I hope someone gets one of the German ones and writes a review. 1/3 extra capacity would make a huge difference to me.

Incredible.
Well it didn't take that long to manufacture a battery the same size and near as danmit 2X the power did it.
All that juice in such a small space. Just hope it don't explode in my hand.

i remember having a HTC diamond in India.... the stock phone came with a 1350mAh battery.... i was surprised too....

The battery has arrived, can anyone recommend a program that can measure amps? I tried batlog but can't read it properly.
I charged it up fully and am running the GPS until it dies as the GPS rarely gets beyond two hours usually.

OK, so the the Diamond ran for about three hours before the 10% warning, so it feels like the battery has more capacity than the OEM. I will post up my impressions after a few days of real world use.
I think that at the price of 8Euro it is good value and would recommend this battery as a replacement.
The battery is actually marked as 1600mA.

It's not 1600mah
I'd be wary of anything bought from hongkong as they like hacking their tech. I got an mp3 player that was hacked to look like 32gig capacity but it was 16gig. Wouldn't surprise me if you had a funky battery. 3 hours is not a lot as I can get that out of my original phone. takes about 3 hours to drive from my house to the southwest and my phone is still kicking.

I would be inclined to agree, I don't think for a second that this battery is 1600mA, but it holds up well enough for the price. I have since checked the charge time and it's similar to the original.
So, 1600mA no, 8 Euro for a battery, yes.

Μaybe its better to ask for a refund, the lost parcels from HK are not a rare phenomenon...after all they re in transit for like 1 month.

If obostore refuses to refund, let us know, but mostly let paypal know. They will refund you if obostore won't

I bought Desire HD 1800mAh battery, hard leather casing & cover from OBOstore.
Delivery took more than 2 weeks, so far so good.
There is one time helping my friend buy Samsung Galaxy Tab casings, took almost a month, feedback to them, they told me whether I wanted to refund?
Yes. They refund the full money to my paypal account and just request me to accept. I got my refund next working day.
OBOstore, I opinion . . Is a very good online store, moreover all product genuine and cheep.

Never used them, but out of curiosity I went to their site, and read that when they ship an order, they also send an email confirming the shipment which includes a Tracking Number with links.
Did you use the tracking number to find the whereabouts of your order?

Bear in mind, when I said that Genine 1800mAh battery is refer to the Brand Andida NOT original hTC battery performance wise, quite okay and had over lasting compared to hTC 1230mAh.

Ya, quite true.
I used it as spare battery, last slightly longer than stock battery, compared pricing cheap with charger. Life span should be shorter than stock battery.

I have positive experiences but you can find cheeper eshops and with faster delivery

Extended Batteries?

Anybody have any luck with extended batteries? If so what is a good brand to get and where from?

I bought a generic 1800mAh battery on the cheap through eBay. It has worked fine for me.

Yes, but is it better than stock? I highly doubt it's actually 1800mAh. If it is, then the Chinese have turned into wizards.

I am currently using these. I just started using it, so not sure how different it will be. I will let you know.
The reviews are kind of hit and miss

I seen one on ebay where you remove the battery cover, and it was a case too. with like a 3500ma or so.
But I like my Otterbox to much.

I'm using an Anker 1600mAh from Amazon. It's noticibly better than the stock battery, but it takes a week of overnight charging to get the most out of it.

I bought an Anker Slimtalk external battery for mine. Going pretty good so far. I can top up my battery when it goes too low in the evening.

I bought an Anker 1600 mAh and actually performs slightly better than stock battery.. maybe It's the Rom maybe not... Because with ICS I got 23 hours with stock and 18 with Anker..

are the really cheap batteries on ebay any good? How do they compare to the original?

I have a Dynapak(I think that's the name) from Amazon and I notice a difference compared to stock. I think I paid $16 when I bought it for two. I believe it says they're 1600 mAh or 1650. I'm happy with it.

If it fits inside the stock battery compartment then it will never be more than 1230 mah.

While there's no way to prove or disprove your statement without bench tests, many people have confirmed that the Anker batteries last longer in an apples to apples test.

Might just be temporary. Even on ebay the seller laptopmate USA (same authorized seller from amazon) raised the price to $67 to keep people from bidding. But they did not remove the auctions. So they will be back.

Hey goat, still got your Eternity? I use mine as an MP3 player now. Just put a new digitizer on it and its like new.

Never actually had the eternity. I had the impression. And yeah I still got it. I had to replace mine also.

Safety of replacement batteries

I'm looking for a replacement battery for my S4. Since it's replacement it doesn't have to be as good. What scares me though is that those cheap ebay/dealextreme batteries might hurt my phone somehow (those golden batteries etc). Is this possible, or is it safe to use those 'fake' batteries?
Also I would love if you guys could recommend a decent replacement battery for a good price (even better with a wall battery charger).

ZeroLemon will be doing a regular sized battery as well which is what i'm waiting for. And ZeroLemon are known for their reliability (and actually being 3000 mAh). I wouldn't trust the ebay ones.

i got one of this to test and it was the perfect replacement battery. So just ordered this from amazon expecting delivery right about now...

After some research I came to a conclusion I want that one too. Can you check if it's just the same size as the original battery? As I've seen some Anker batteries which were good but slightly too large.

the one i tested was non nfc, these are nfc enabled but i doubt that would make them that much bigger to bulge, but ill let you know as soon as this UPS man arrives at my office, gotta love amazon prime! :laugh:

I bought the Anker batteries. Get 2 batteries and a wall charger. The wall charger also has a USB port which can output 1A, which it pretty good to carry around if needed. I've read reviews how when these first came out it was a really tight fit, but it seems that they made adjustments because the ones I received fit in just fine, like the OEM ones.

Title-3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh

worth it
I almost always buy the cheapo chinese batteries for my phones. Here are my findings:
They will last throughout the day about as long as genuine batteries... for the 1st year
After the 1st year, they will start to degrade.... depending on your use, lack of use, temperature, etc... I have some 2.5 year old chinese epic 4g batteries that still work.. but only last about 4 hours. My original battery will still go a good 12hrs. I only keep them around for emergencies, but I don't really use that phone anymore.
The cheapo chargers that come w/ it is very handy and usually work pretty well.
Depending on how much you use them, they will last you a couple years.
Why i think they are worth it:
For ten bucks, they are a great backup battery. By that I mean, when get home from work and my battery is almost dead.... I can swap out the battery for the rest of the evening and don't have to put my phone on the charger till bed.
I'm a normal smart phone user, a normal batter will last me the day most days. I don't game or do too many intensive things..
I get them because I know that I will get a new phone every 1.5 to 2 years... so why do my batteries need to outlast the phone?
Who shouldn't use them:
People who really drain their batteries. They simply won't go as many recharge cycles as a normal battery (by that I mean full empty to full charge).
Tips:
Mark your crappy batteries with a permanent marker. The chinese clones look so good that you probably can't tell the difference between them and a real on. Mark the fake ones so that you can use your real on days when you know you really need lasting power. This isn't so important the first 9 months... but after that it could be.
Watch for reviews on a good battery seller (if buying from ebay)... there are good cheap-o batteries and their are crappy ones. I like to let other people figure it out

Cheap 3000 mAh battery

Hello
On ebay i see them very often but havnt found any review of them.
Clicky here
They claim to be 3000 mAh but are also the cheapest. (2.80 euros so about 3.65 dollar or 2.40 pounds)
And all of them say galaxy s4 i9500 but i read everywhere that i9500 and i9505 have the same battery?
Would be awsome if i can get some info or revies about this item.
Thank you for your time and info

It's not actually 3000 mAh. It won't last as much as the stock battery, you can be sure of that. If you're lucky it gets close to stock, and it's no more than a decent replacement battery.
The only real known 3000 mAh battery is the ZeroLemon one, which sacrifices NFC and has a slight bulge on the back cover (but does fit properly).

Okay
Thanks, i dont understand how they are allowed to just lie like that.
But even if it is about same strenght as stock or a bit less for the price its still very good.
I just want a battery for when mine runs out and i'm not able to charge.
But i also get a bit afraid that it might damage the device or something.
So as a "smaller capacity" backup this would do ? or might it cause some damage?
Thanks again.

I had the same question a while ago... I would just invest a little more and buy the ZeroLemon one, then use stock one as replacement. It's well worth the extra money.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZeroLemon-S..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item43bd602f7a
But if you insist, that one you showed will do good as a backup battery, just use it if you run out and need a replacement right away.

I think i will buy it then because it will be as a last reserve.
Aready threw away a lot bloatware and startup items so my battery life is pretty good atm and most of the time i will be able to charge it.
I was kinda looking for a battery + external charger for a cheap combo deal but dont seem to find any.
And it even harder to find a european charger

Yeah it should be the same one as he mentioned.
But amazon is not good for everybody.
For me by example.
I live in belgium and we dont have a amazon site we have to go to the french, german or UK site .
But yeah chances are big we pay a lot shipping costs.
If i order from amazon i have to pay around 5 dollars per item or something for shipping alone.

I bought a 3 pack of these along with a charger for $14 USD and they work well but aren't as long lasting as the stock battery. Still plenty great to keep on me. They are great and ensure I never need to be tethered to a wall like an iPhone user. I have gotten between 4 (when in bad reception and lots of camera use) and 18 hours out of the aftermarket batteries.

The one show selling by ts is probably Power brand. Most of these after market is much less than 2600mah, some even less than 2000 mah. Try buying established brands such as Anker or Zerolemon and you will be fine.

I recommend that.
But I would only get it from Amazon or some other site that has a better chance of having original samsung products and not fakes.
Most 3rd party battery makers, seidio, etc have been tested to be really at 80-90% of their true mah listing.
Not sure why that is the case.

1 day and 07 minutes with 3% left on the stock battery. This phone is amazing. I have it rooted on the Verizon ME7 Stock configuration and have most of the Verizon Bloatware frozen. I've even used it quite a bit during that time on Facebook, taking a few pictures, playing games, texting, making numerous phone calls and checking email using either WiFi or Mobile Data connectivity. :good:
I previously had the S3 and it didn't even come close to half this life.
