I want to get an extended battery for my charge, but the 3500mah extended battery is too physically large. is there any battery that will give me a battery life boost, but not double the thickness of the phone? thanks.

I found the highest capacity without double the size - 1800mah. I purchased 2 with a wall charger. You just carry one with you and swap out when needed.
For both batteries and wall charger with USB charger build in (dual charger) only cost me 22$ on ebay. They're working fine with my charge. I suggest instead of killing yourself try to squeeze the life out of your current battery, just carry an extra one. I found the double size is too bulky to carry and noticeable heavier.
thats only 200mah more than the one that's in there already... how much more battery life will that give?
You aren't going to find anything better than that. You can only fit so many mAh in a battery package before you reach a critical/dangerous level, and after that, you have to make the size of the battery bigger. Aftermarket batteries work with two sizes, stock size, and extended battery size, as they usually don't make their own extended battery covers and just use the stock extended battery cover.

about 1hrs. See my above thread. Best bet is just carry an extra 1800mah battery. Don't buy bulky 3500mah. It's heavier and bulky. I bought them and now I'm not using them any more.

Are there any larger batteries that will still fit in the stock back. I want an "extended battery", but am not willing to sacrifice my Active X case to get one.
For all intents and purposes, no. There is a 1600 mAh that sells for some ridiculous price like 60 dollars or something, but anyone who spends that much for a 100 mAh bumb at BEST is moronic. Also, Stock batteries typically have an extremely high real life mAh, usually 95-98% of rated mAh. Any aftermarket will not have as high of a percentage, so a 1600 will probably be just barely better than stock.

This is not true the 1600 battery is a seidio and seidio batteries are pretty well known for being higher quality than stock. Tag on some extra charge on top of that and it will probably be quite noticable. A couple years ago when I had a touch pro 2 I bought a seidio battery that had 250 mAH more than stock and in real life usage I almost got double the time out of it. I changed from charging every night to every other night.
That is absolutely based on no truth. Seido is ABSOLUTELY not better than stock. In fact, NOTHING beats stock batteries.
batteryboss.org
No Seido battery has better than an 84% real life mAH to rated mAH. Stock batteries have at MINIMUM 95% real life mAH to rated mAH.
84% of 1600 = 1344 mAH
95% of 1500 = 1425 mAH
I think I am just going to hook a car battery up to it..........it will be months before I have to recharge

Just get Shorai Battery, much lighter and easier to carry around.

muyoso, do you have the research from the site to back up those numbers? I'm not about to go digging for it myself...
There are a variety of factors that reduce a lithium ion battery's performance. First of all, lithium batteries have a higher internal resistance than their nickel metal-hydride and nickel cadmium counterparts (counterparts in the sense of their use in cell phones over the years). This is one reason why they heat up quite a bit during both charge and discharge, and consequently "age" faster when existing in a warm environment.
Lithium batteries self-discharge at around 8% per month, and during this time typically suffer a permanent capacity loss when left unused. Batteries that were produced and stored in a warm place for too long will certainly not charge to as high of a capacity as another identical battery that was produced and began earlier discharge cycles in a real-world environment.
Lithium batteries do not have a "memory," which is the effect that nickel cadmium batteries are reputable for carrying over the course of many charge/discharge cycles. In other words, your battery isn't going to suffer because you never let it run dead before charging it all the way back up. It doesn't matter. However, leaving it on a charger with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a high-definition porno on simultaneously will only negatively effect the battery due to the heat generated from current delivery.
Some batteries are simply better than others. This holds true even among batteries of the same brand, capacity and application. The way they are handled, stored and used determines the life and performance of the battery in your phone. In this case, do not drain your battery to 0% before charging it back up. It's typical for lithium batteries' capacity to permanently drop by 15-25% within one year's use.
If you have a spare cell, charge it to about 40%, take it out and put in the refrigerator. Also, make sure you check the manufacturing date on the packaging, as I said before, storing for long periods without a 40% charge or regular charge/discharge cycles will result in a lessened capacity.
Just figured I would throw a few facts out there. I began using lithium batteries for robotics projects a number of years ago when they became much more prevalent.
The guy behind batteryboss.org did extensive testing. Stock batteries were all rated at near rated capacity. Seido batteries were not. He clearly explains his testing procedures. I have read over that site pretty thoroughly and trust his numbers and technique.
Is there any way to check the mAh of a battery you just recieved. I ordered a 3500mah one off ebay and just want to make sure that it is the same mah as stated. Is there a program or some way I can check this?
Thanks
Typically you'll need a device, or some system to discharge the battery at a constant current, and then measure the time it takes to meet its final voltage, and you need to watch it to make sure you don't kill the battery. Plus the life also depends on the discharge rate so you may get more than 3.5Ah out of it if you discharge it longer with a low current then visa versa.
Also typically batteries you buy on ebay don't normally meet the rated life.

I just bought a 3500mah battery from ebay. Its only gone through 1 full discharge but assuming my Samsung battery is 1500mAh I'd estimate the ebay one to be about 2200-2300mAh.. hopefully it will increase after a few cylces and calibration
I bought that battery, and it's definitely not that good, Idk if I got a bad one, but my phone only last about hmm the same as the stock battery.. I wish I could check the mah
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-2300mAh-...ccessories&hash=item43aedc12f9#ht_3183wt_1037
has anyone tried this battery?
what about the ANKER batter?
is any better than stock?
I've heard it's capacity isn't what's advertised and that it's best to go for the Anker battery.

That looks suspiciously a lot like Chichitec charger/battery with a different sticker. Almost definitely not 2300mah, it would have to be way thicker for that.
I'd go with Anker if you want cheap but OK. If you want even cheaper and OK, than go for Chichitec
Both are a little better than stock, and it's always great to have a spare battery at hand.
After reading this
"Please Note:
The battery must be fully recharged before use.
A temporary short capacity of new battery will be resulted from not used for a long time, it is normal, the total capacity will be reinstated via used for 3-5 times.
When first get the battery, use it out, charge for 10 hours for the first three times, use it out again, then it only need to charge about 5 hours for normal use.
The best storage temperature is 20°C--5°C"
I would stay away
Hello guys, searching the net for higher capacity batteries i've found this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-for-BLUE-2830MAH-HIGH-CAPACITY-REPLACEMENT-BATTERY-FOR-LG-E960-E975-brand-battery/1303576275.html .
Did anyone found something like this, but from normal famous manufacturer? Two years ago I bought for my Galaxy S a PolarCell battery with higher capacity, which really lasts longer as the original and was only one or half mm thicker. Why the hell there no such batteries for our N4 or I'm not searching good enough?
There is no bigger battery with same size.
Maybe typo error, but at the description it says that battery is 1980 mah.

Sorry posted in wrong thread. Please delete.
good find :good:
Assuming 80% battery charging efficiency in this and the phone, 36% of energy is lost in charging this battery to charge a phone battery, vs 20% by directly charging it. So, given it's not in a phone case form factor, the only people using this will be ones where there is no power.
its called Anpower.. the only thing that pushes me away from the Anker 6440 MAH battery is the back cover being black (and the ZL battery is too heavy for me, i owned it for my s5 and its a brick..even though performance is amazing but it is too heavy)
, i want to have a white one on my black note 4 , here is the link

also, upon getting any extended battery , is fast charging damaging for the battery or not ?
