So I went into work today and saw that we had receiving a shipment of extended batteries for the Infuse. I decided to purchase the battery for my phone since I was planning on buying a backup one anyway. Needless to say, the battery is larger than the original, much larger. It comes with the back plate to replace the factory one for the extended battery. When I put it in it had 63% charge, I have been trying to drain this thing all night to get it to turn itself off from no charge, so I can fully recharge it. It has been 9 hours and 2% is left. I will update this once I fully charge it, and post the screen shot of the full drain stats.
Be sure to upload some comparison pictures for good measure
I have a previous one from the original bat. Will upload both at the time. Currently At 91% after full charge phone been off charger for six hours or so

I know Radio Shack sells Digital Energy. I haven't seen an Infuse extended battery there but I have seen one for the Rumor Touch :/
I purchased a 3500mAh extended battery from amazon a while back. It also came with back plate. It was $9.99 + $3 shipping. I get amazing battery life now. Roughly like this.....
Very light-light use: 2.5-3 days
Medium use: 1.5 days
VERY heavy use: 14-16 hours.
It was the best $13 i ever spent on this phone...
The original battery was more like this.....
VERY light use: 22-24 hours
Medium use: 8-10 hours
VERY Heavy use: 4-5 hours
I work at the Shack. And i get about 28 hours mild to heavy use. Wifi gps and brightness always on. Still trying to get a proper screen shot. should have it up today. And the entended battery is two times tthe size of the original. Adds about an inch of tthickness to back of phone. Also weighs slightly more illget the specifics soon. Dont expect to find a case to fit, there isnt one. you could cut a hole in a silicone case but i havent ttried it.

Just curious, what do you consider "mild to heavy" use? That's a pretty vague scale.
And also, i think your ruler is a little off . There is no way the back ADDS an inch of thickness. Even with the extended battery, the entire phone isn't even an inch.
I dont have a ruler. I am not advertising ffor the battery i am just offering my opinions. To be more specific it adds 2-3cm to the phone thickness.
Mild to heavy meaning using my gps wifi and no auto brightness a majority of the day. I use waze gps, stream music, have a live wallpaper, apps like voxer words with friends and hanging with friends several widgets that update.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I'm not trying to be an ass, but maybe you should get a ruler, because i promise you it doesn't "add" anywhere near 2-3 cm(1.1 inch). More like 2-3 mm.
And i won't debate your intent, but no one will ever buy and accessory for a phone today that adds the bulk you are claiming.
---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------
What i was suggesting was being more specific about your usage. Not being on auto brightness and having widgets and live wallpaper doesn't really tell us enough information to come to a conclusion. And saying mild to heavy usage is like saying... Some days I barely use my phone and other days i can't put it down, and in both situations i get 28 hours of battery life. There is no possible way whatsoever that you are getting 28 hours on HEAVY use. Sorry, it just won't happen. Mild use? yes, without a doubt, but not heavy.
I honestly don't think you are purposely trying to lie about a product that you sell. But my main concern is that others may see these claims and expect too much or not enough. I have the same battery and i know these claims aren't true.
Like i said, i have the same battery and back cover and my ENTIRE phone is only 0.56 inches thick, using a micrometer. I'm not sure where your EXTRA 2-3cm (1.1 inch) is coming from.
Don't take this as a personal attack, i know it must sound like it, but it's not. I just want people to be properly informed.
I found one at my work and confirm that it adds only around 4mm or so more to the thickness of the phone. I didn't see anyone post prices, sorry if I missed it.. But this battery is $55. Not sure if it's worth that much to me if you can't get a case for it.

That's cool, but this phone is already huge, in the picture it makes it look like it adds 20% more height and 10% more width. For battery it might be worth it tho, hehe. Anyone know how much it is? ... oh just saw $70 ... ouch, hmm. I bought an original second battery on eBay for $20, and it's doing the trick for those times when I run too low
Agree. A 2nd battery is good enough for me. Don't wanna add more weight / size to the phone

Don't worry bella, it's no bigger or heavier than the GIANT shells/cases/whatever many of us decide to put on our phones anyway.
It weighs 2 oz and ADDS 1450mAh battery capacity.
I'll probably get one to use on trips, etc. Not much of a daily driver for me at that weight. The Infuse weighs just under 5 oz naked.

I guess the reasoning is here that you have the 2nd battery already attached to the phone, and you don't have to carry it around separately somewhere.

*STING* ... lol, guess I deserved that, haha. If I see a big bulge in your pants, I'll remember it's your phone tho, so I'm not confused it might be something else, ehhe *sting back!*...
At 1450 mah it's not spectacular, but great for a road trip or flights to Asia... I'd just as soon carry extra batteries at $25 each, since I can get 1750 mah x 3 for the same price you paid for 1450, but I definitely understand the all-in-one concept, makes sense.
I wonder how long it will be before the line gets blurred between a 7" tablet and a 4.5" phone... I like the Dell streak aside from the fact it's dell, so maybe soon...

I do tend to think of my Infuse as a mini-tablet that is more or less pocketable. In fact, I haven't touched my iPad since I got it.
My fiancee did suggest I leave my phone in the car when we went to my daughter's kindergarten graduation today. It does create quite a bulge. I'm sure she didn't want me garnering any extra attention from the soccer moms. She tends to be the jealous type.

Yeh, I think guys and girls carry messenger bags or purses or some sort of backpack many places, so a few years ago I'd have called you crazy for suggesting a 4.5" phone, but now that I have one, I kinda want an updated 7" Galaxy Tab w\ voice\data capability. I almost pulled the trigger and bought the International Version of the Galaxy Tab 7" (it's unlocked, has voice and SMS enabled)... but given the slow processor I opted to wait until a more viable option comes out soon. I never hold a phone up to my head, and 90% of my use is text\data.... so I think it's my next natural step in evolution.
And LOL on the comment about the soccer moms w\ phone in pocket, hahaha

I don't think it will make that much of a difference. It's the same as plugging it into the charger. Besides, the stock battery is replaceable and cheap.
Now if I were using the offGRID case on the iPhone, I might wonder about the long term effect on that internal, hard(er) to replace and (more) expensive battery.

Seems that if it's too short you could just glue/wedge a piece of cardboard along the bottom edge. Seems like a pretty good way to get 20% more battery life.

The 2100 maH Galaxy Nexus battery. It's posted all over the forum. About $19-21 at Amazon when it's in stock and they don't try to sneak you an 1850 maH battery like they did me, then tell me the 2100 was out of stock.
May or may not require modification for perfect fit. Fits fine for some, others (like me) had to shave a bit of stuff off the battery to get it to fit perfect.
K thanks, I'll make sure its in stock before they send me stock maH

No modifications are necessary, the battery comes with a new cover.
You do have to charge the phone completely (i let mine charge overnight), then wipe the battery status, then charge it again for at least an hour.
I use a Mugen standard size one. Maybe it's just the way I use it, but it seems to give me a few extra hours a day consistently. I almost never get an extended battery because no one ever seems to make decent protective cases for the phone with it mounted.
I can't say they're the best, or even that great, but I just bought 2 batteries and a charger for $10 on ebay. That way if my phone decides to die, I've got spares.
Just ordered the 2 Anker 2200mAh Li-ion Battery with charger set, should have em tomorrow. Right now I'm getting a full day with moderate usage. Battery seems pretty popular so should do well.
I get about a work day with moderate usage. Text, browsing, tapatalk and about 15 mins of tethering. Mostly text.
About 8-10 hours.
A bigger battery would be convenient but ugly imo.

Just upgraded from the infuse and this battery was my first purchase for my skyrocket. So far I'm really happy with the way it fits and feels. The battery life so far is really great!

Wile that is awesome you have a battery that works for you, everyone uses there phone different, for instance i noticed that your screen didn't appear to be on for as long as mine, and you seem to have much better signal in your area than i do in mine. Wile the 2100 may work well for you, with the location and the way i use my phones, i have to have the bigger battery. It's great to see what the 2100 is capable of.
I'll end up getting one of those for my Fiancee, as she needs to be able to use an otterbox case.
If S3 gets it for 34$, i hope S4 gets it too soon.
Very useful for long trips.

now no one will say it is flimsy plastic
Does it come with suspension cables to help hold that brick to your face on long calls? I use a Bluetooth, but since most don't, seriously, how are you going to support that monster on your phone's back?
I'm all for making these phones a little thicker with the QI charging battery covers, but I never understood those ridiculous batteries and thick covers.... but people love them, I guess! They keep making them for every new phone that comes out!

Sign up for Ingress, then you'll wish they made 15,000 mAh batteries.
That game uses sucks through your battery like there's no tomorrow, even with undervolting.

I have Ingress, I just don't use it as often as most people do! But I hear ya on that....
+1 on the Ingress. I tried it once on my Atrix and it nearly drained my battery to dead in like 30 mins. However, I think 7000mAh might be overkill for most people. Removable batteries FTW.
a external battery? will get my phone bulky
btw ... i see that anker has the market first s4 battery, but its 2100mah, do u think they guys will have at least 2600mah soon?

Not sure if extended battery or spaceship!
Samsung made 3000 mah battery. Which is a bit more normal size.

Surely easier just to carry a spare battery in your wallet?
Unless of course you're planning a month long trip in the jungle.
not to mention if a battery that big were to explode! you might be left with a stump of a leg!
I say that, but assuming it is a quality battery, a case that big might be nice for some people. I prefer slim, and carry an extra battery in my car or desk.
I use this one my S3 and it's amazing, best extended battery out there, I've gotten 3 day runs out of it.
And you guys are overreacting ahaha, it really isn't that big and it really adds some much needed weight to the phone and looks/feels much better then the alternative options out there obviously other then carrying around a spare battery and switching but that's a hassle keeping both charged.
A lot of the kernel devs over on the sprint s3 use it as well to try and get the best battery life possible with their constant kernel tweak updates - we call it squeezing 7000 lemons :thumbup:

If I wanted 7000mAh... I'd simply keep two slim anker batteries in my pocket
That back plate is ugly as hell

That back plate is great, made out of a nice material. Go look at how hideous other extended battery cases are.

ive already been in contact with ZeroLemon and they told me,
the extended battery will be released mid May.
i also asked about the capacity, but they weren't willing to tell me.
we can expect 7000+ mAh for sure though.
I like that the cover actually fits over the entire phone instead of making it look pregnant. I still do have concerns about how large it will make this phone though.

Had it on the S3, it really wasn't that big. It was a nice solid size. Defintely no problem with fitting it in your pocket.

Took a shot and ordered one as well. The reviews seem positive so it also has a 2-year warranty. It doesn't look as big as the zerolemon either. Like the 2-layer case too. We'll see.

This as far as i know is the ONLY Extended that i would use if i had the V10 (I have a G4) Look at my Thread HERE for some ideas of what you'd may find acceptable
Edit: or THIS 3800mah Slim Battery
So...
I got this yesterday. Prime delivered it next day. Pretty sweet if you ask me. It's heavy. Don't get me wrong, even before I put it on the device all by itself, it was heavy. Put it on yesterday. Was already charged to 50% out-of-the-box. Charged all night.
So far this is my experience. Now, I know that batteries need to be conditioned so, this is only my first day's experience. I have a 2-hour commute to/from work using public transportation (yeah, I know), I spend it heavily using my device. At full-brightness, reading emails, surfing, texting, reading books, no games. Not much into games. On the regular battery I'm down to about 54% by the time I get from point a to point b. Today, my battery was about 75%. So, unsubstantiated and unscientific I had 20% more battery power than before.
Battery was recognized as a "battery" both internal settings saw it fine and batterybotpro had no issue seeing it as a battery.
Upside so far, seems to give more time on the device without charging.
Nice looking case ( inner and outer)
Downsides...
Bulkier than standard battery
Heavier than standard device
Device now has some junk In the trunk as it sticks out
Fingerprint scanner is hot and miss. Sometimes it works, other times I have to make sure I'm making contact with some part of the housing
Will not work in any cradle I have. The battery makes it too thick to fit into a cradle
It's not that expensive. I'll update this in a week and as I can going forward to see if this is steady in giving me an extra boost.
[[UPDATED REVIEW AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH]]
The battery lasts barely 3 hours. It starts to drain the MINUTE I take it off charger. It's really atrocious. I'm going to see about returning the thing as soon as possible. It shouldn't have such atrocious performance after such a short time. Truly bad.

It'll take at least 5 charge/discharges to get the full capacity of whatever battery you have. Of course there's going to be some thickness to it. I have a slim 4500mah Battery for my G4 and it works surprisingly well

I've had the battery for a couple of days now and it has been great 5 stars. I would say good double battery life and case is great too. Can just feel which side of phone is front and back and top and bottom in my pocket :good:

Ok keep me posted. Is the your first time using it? Remember, these take at least 3-5 charge\discharges to get it's capacity but just so you know the LG G4 Will never learn the battery capacity cause I think there's a chip that's locked at 3000mah
