Better to use an undervolted kernel and/or underclock the cpu and run it at 800Mhz top to extend battery life than too get this behemoth

It is the ugliest, most lopsided thing ever...stay away.

That thing is hilarious! It's defiantly not worth a couple extra hours.

I have it and I love it. It doesn't look as bad as it does in photos and I no longer feel like the phone is going to slip out of my hand.

Have you noticed a significant increase in up-time though? The thing holding me back is that the factory battery is 1500mAh, the extended is 2200mAh. That seems like a negligible increase to me, and I'm apt to wait for a Seidio 3500mAh or something so that it is at least a double...
I'll admit, though, I know nothing about battery numbers/ratings so maybe there's some sort of non-1:1 factoring where 700mAh more isn't really less than half an increase in up-time?

dang id only use it on extended trips without a charger

id rather have a extra battery kit they sell than the extended battery. That thing is horrible

My facinate already lasts a few days anyways so I don't see a point.

My work paid for mine so it is the best battery and cover ever lol! Yes its thick but the rounded corners make it easy to get in and out of your pocket. Its nice not having to worry about charging your phone all the time. Just my 2 cents...

I also ordered 2 1500mah batteries on ebay for $9.96 shipped with a charger from the same company I ordered batteries from for my Incredible. They are cheap and work perfectly...

I bought the extended battery for mine and couldn't be happier. I personally found the stock phone too thin and too light personally. I like the feel in my hand much better when using the phone. Added bonus is the fact that when I set the phone down with the screen facing up my camera is now raised higher and less likely to touch my desk or whatever. Only complaint is its harder to hold the phone between my head and shoulder now when talking. Overall I highly suggest picking one up. Still have yet to see a case that will fit it though.

i got it also dont use it much but its not bad at all!! Lasts forver!!!

Lol, that thing makes the Fascinate look worse than the Droid X.
I found a remedy for my phone: dirrk's LV 1250 voodoo kernel + superpower app + conservative mode setcpu = win. Now my phone lasts a whole 12hrs compared to 3 with heavy use. Standby time is also improved.

has anyone had a bad experience by changing the battery

has anyone had a bad experience by changing the battery ?
more mAH, but no more battery life for example!
thank you for your feedback

Happy with my 1800 mah stock...running on cm9..

Depends on which battery you bought; I'm guessing it was an aftermarket one - there are lots of 'em flying around only some of them are better than the stock one.
Don't just believe the mah they state on the battery.

i'd check this thread, a lot of good stuff written on buying high mAH batteries of places like ebay.

Thank you for this post
There are some people who have had unpleasant surprises when changing battery
I was wondering about batteries made ​​in China.
I will focus on a battery where there will be a good return, like your 1800 mah stock ;-)

I have a chinese battery (otb original) and, when it's some hours power the phone with that battery, is like if I'm making long press on home key, and constantly jump the window with last open applications. As if it were a charged capacitor...

Many of the batteries you can find on ebay etc are fake. The mAH is just a sticker and easily printed
A fairly good/simple way to test is to weigh the batteries. If the new battery is lighter, it almost definitely is fake.
Another way is to peel off the sticker. Usually the manufacturer will print the actual capacity on the aluminium thing under the sticker (I peeled off the sticker of a 2.99 battery that was '1500' mAH - said it was 1000 underneath).

Is this too good to be real? I think they have less capacity. Anyone bought 1800mAh batteries from ebay that really are 1.8Ah? It would be nice if the saler ship worldwide.
I am looking to buy an extra battery, the current one holds about 8-12h of (heavy?) usage, Wi-Fi always ON, 3G/2G depending on the signal, most of the time full brightness, 20min-2h games or movies, 20min browsing the web and a few calls, at most 20min and frequently looking at the clock.

I bought an anker 1800 from amazon, as far as I can tell it's genuine

You have no this problem with the original battery (if you have keep it)?

Using anker 1800 mAh for the past week.. cheap, works perfectly (untill now) and ads a few battery hours
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Anker-Extended-Battery-Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-Charger-/330601629006

I just changed roms to one of the MIUI ones and my battery life has gone through the roof. What had been a 16hour charge (at most) on Darky's4.2 is now 28-30hour easily. Definitely something to look at, even ignoring the improved feature sets.

My anker batteries are the best cellphone batteries iv ever purchased. The difference was insane.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

like i can see the 'Anker' have good feedback ;-)
may be it will be my choice !

I bought Muggen 3200 battery and have very good feedback for last 12 months
It is bigger, more heavy and shipped with special back case
but automy is perfect with it !

From what i've read mugen are very credible for extended batteries, as are momax. Momax make a 1800mAH (to my best memory) which is the same size as the normal, or the 2700mAH battery which is a little thicker, but apparently gives a very good battery life

I`m using PolarCell 1800mAh and I`m very happy with staying power.

3500 mah on amazon

I got a 3500 mah, for $17 shipped. arrived in two days.
the battery and back case is hard to tell hoe thick from the pictures, I'm guessing its 1/4" thicker than stock. no additional protection to the camera lens over stock, other than the shelf the extended case provides. it feels heavier, bit easier to hold than with the tiny stock battery case.
the mt4gs is nearing end of life for development, so ill use it until its damaged, then upgrade .
charged well, and then started it up yesterday morning around 6am. I'm now at 29%, with almost 31hours of use. yes, the graph is wrong, as I plugged it in to transfer 15-20 pictures to the Mac for however long that takes. that USB port is 1.1, so if you really want to figure how much juice it received, figure about 3 minutes plugged in....
the majority of time the phone had wifi and 3g/edge on, with poor reception.
this is virtuous v 1.3 and Gmail, contacts, calendar and g+ photos syncing running at 1.3ghz, "on demand" throttling.
again, currently I'm at 29% after 31hours.

A link of the battery, Back cover if any and a picture of the battery itself is a must if you want to share the info here with us.
Posting a screenshot of your phone's battery graph only and not even having the right values you stated won't be of any use for us.
So please if you want to share something please make it as detailed as possible in a way we could appreciate it

can't make the screenshot right, but my information corrected it. updated first post with screenshots and direct amazon link.

OK, I'm at 3%, after 35 hours , with no attempts at conserving at all. I've shot video, surfed, txt, all normal operations. with some simple conservation, I could squeeze 2 days easily. 3 would mean using airplane mode, or edge. this will be great for motocamping.

I would never be able to have a battery that thick for my phone, but cheers for the battery life

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!

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?

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:

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.

I'm planning to use this for weekdays at work and swap to my Extended during the weekend

Im going to wait for some usage results before buying one. I'm happy with the battery life I get from the stock battery and I dont think this will battery will be much of an improvement over stock.

In for one, thanks

Will be interesting to see how this performs.

Already ordered mine. Cant wait to test this out. With my usage habits, the max screen-on time I was able to get out of my OEM battery was bit over 5 hrs (autobrightness). Let's see how much more time this ZeroLemon can add.

Isn't the stock one around 2700amh, why bother?

2600 mah. And 400 mah makes a difference to a power user. Could be like an extra hour of screen on time.

I get the same battery life as you and it practically lasts me the whole day and then some. The Zerolemon will probably give an extra hour or so screen on time assuming the mAh rating is correct.

I bought it primarily as an oem-sized backup battery. Instead of buying OEM, I'm just buying from ZeroLemon. I already have zerolemon's 7500mah for long hauls.

I'll probably wait for the official samsung extended battery. It's always good, NFC and marginally thicker.

i'll be curious to hear how they hold up charge length wise to the oem batteries once people have had a chance to charge/discharge them for awhile. Hopefully it will be good.

Any way to get this in the UK? Amazon.com's shipping costs are high and takes ages!

What thickness is this compared to stock battery? I looked around but didn't find anything.

Although I'll see how it is once I actually get it. I'll keep you guys posted for those that are hesitant to buy!

Just bought one as well. I love hte 7500mah extended battery, but if I'm ever in the slim mood, I'll surely turn to this over stock.
I've never used NFC and don't really plan on it.

I wonder why they don't include NFC? Maybe dropping it allows them to squeeze in more cells? Odd that they drop while most others include it.

I may pick one of these up to use with the OEM wireless charging cover...it has a built in NFC antenna.
But I will probably wait for six months and get some wear out of the stock battery.
