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.

I just took the red wrapper off of it and it fit snuggly
In terms of weight, does it change much? I'm thinking about picking up this battery if it's a drop-in replacement.
I just purchased, thanks.
Well, it's certainly cheap so might as well give it a try. I highly doubt it's even close to 1800mAh but hopefully it'll be more than 1300mAh and won't die after 50 cycles.
i wouldnt trust it since it from china, they been known to switch out label
Can you let us know what the battery life is like, compared to your normal battery, please? I am interested, but have heard too many tales of batteries that promise more but in fact deliver less. It would be great if this gave even 25% more over the standard battery!
Here's some independent testing that shows a lot of manufacturers claims aren't always that true:

thanks for the preview pic, on how to modify the battery. I purchased a battery for $5.98 USD! Cant wait to test it out.
Just curious but did you have your internet on the entire time you were doing the test run? I normally turn off my internet and activate it when needed, when I do that battery life for me is about 20 something hours, with mild usage (gaming and phone calling).
any more updates?
I just bought one. I will update you guys when i get it.
I ordered one. Wth for 8 bucks
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app
I bought one from mugen site and it is awesome althought it is a little bit pricey but i think it worth. I charge it over night. Unplug it at 7 am and carry with me untill 10pm. My wireless was on the whole time. I have 3 email setup as default. Running sense ui so i believe there is some process running at the back ground. I only make about 30 min to 1 hour call. At 10 pm, i still have 35% life.

Same problem here. If u take the red wrapper off i dont think it matters because the black plastic cheap outlined housing is the problem. I think i wasted 8 bucks
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6
Yeah, I've taken the entire thing apart (piecemealed it together) now and while the cover will fit it still bulges out because the battery itself is a tad too thick.
It was a cheap experiment though so I'm not choked. The lesson here is that Incredible/Evo batteries don't fit our phones =(

Powerskin for dhd

Saw this on engadget too and was seriously contemplating getting it. Tho I wonder how much bigger this will make the DHD feel
I was just going to post on it! You beat me. Seems like a win-win. I'm already using a Mugen 1500, so if I add this (which is 1500) for a combined battery life of 3000, I should never have to worry about battery life again. Here is the direct link if anyone wants to check it out. http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1508des/htc-desire-inspire.html
Just saw the post on engadget as well, looks promising, hopefully it doesn't make the phone to thick, but would be a excellent thing for travelling if nothing else!
They just replied to my comment on their facebook page that there will be international shipping soon!

It's universal, USB power is ~5V. All batteries in all DHDs say 3.7v remember that all this extra battery is doing is providing power via USB, therefore it needs to be ~5V.
Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.

Doesn't seem any thicker than with a Case Mate Pop case. I have one so I'm sure I can live with this.
Sent via 1s and 0s through time and space using my Defy.
It needs to be 5V to appear as a charger to the Desire HD. But I see several issues with this:
-The Desire HD will be in constant charge mode until the external battery discharges. Only then the internal battery will start to be used.
It's not good to use a device while charging, this reduces the battery life, so this case will reduce the internal battery life.
-Being 5V means that the case internal 3.7V must be pumped to 5V and then reduces again to 4.2 to charge the battery. Pumps and regulators usually have a 80% efficiency, so 1500 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 960. Expect a battery improvement equivalent to 960 mA, not to 1500mA.
Still it's a great accesory for some situations where you spect to have a great consumption, like hicking with GPS, 3G use while moving, etc. And when the external battery is discharged you can remove the case and have the device full charged with its original size.
You can also turn the case off so it won't charge your phone. Then it doesn't charge the phone constantly and the internal battery life won't reduce that much.
Thanks for that picture It does look a bit thicker, but if nothing else its nice to have with you for weekend trips etc when you know you cant charge.
Does it work like a charger in the way that you can turn it off untill your internal battery is almost depleted, then switch it on and charge up the internal one (if you leave the phone idle?) or does it not really charge the internal one, just keep the phone alive on the extra battery?
Anyone tried this yet or has ordered one already? I'm really interested in this, but since I'm only 16-years, I don't have the money to try something out with a chance of not being worth it .
This too thick for my tastes, i like my dhd thin.

It's a fascinating idea, but - converting inches to cm - that is about 0.8cm more, for a phone that is just about 1cm deep. In fact, the manufacturers do mention 0.8cm as a generic add-on. That's a lot of bulk...
For all-day GPS-intensive stuff I take along a 5000mah power pack that does the job nicely, which you just unplug if you need to make calls etc. Back in the bag, and connect it back up
Though I'm sure this powerskin will meet the needs of some people out there.

Samsung extended battery 2000 mah

Here is the 2000 MAH Battery I have in my i9103. It is for the SII but works also for us. You need to use a protective cover instead of the standard i9103 cover because the battery is larger.

This one I have is "just" 2000 mah and is from Samsung Korea so it is expensive but it has 2000 mah.
Other non-brand batteries that claim 4000 mah, maybe not even have 2000 mah.
I bought a cheap battery and after dropping it on the floor from 1 meter it wont work anymore. A lot of cheap low quality stuff out there that promises very high capacity.
But the idea with the gold is new. hehe

You take any cover for i9103, better if it is a hard one.
The protective covers are bigger then the phone, because they are put over the phone, so if you remove the original phone cover and put a protective cover, you can use the bigger battery.

There is a "quality version" of this mega battery from Mugen, it has very good reviews but it is expensive, 80$ ... Another brand with very good feedbacks is Anker, this one isn't expensive, they have a 1900mAh model very cheap and better than the original one.
I am wondering how is it possible that we hadn't advanced a single step in batteries tech for quite some time... The only choice to increase mAh is making it bigger? There isn't any way of installing a different and more eficient type?
I read frequently about this and that progress achieved in labs, but in the market there's nothing new.
I know that we'll not get nano carbon tubules any time soon but, for example, Toshiba announced some time ago some kind of methanol cells that will last weeks, this is not so NASA related technology... Maybe there are some kind of interests from the big companies buy I dont imagine what and why?

One thing i don't understand.
If you choose in the model SGS i9000 (which is the same size as SGS 4G) you get maximum 1850 mAh - so why we should use Epic 4G D710 model and SGS i9000 users can't ?

Good information, thanks for sharing.
1650 * 1.21 = 2000
Well, they should advertize battery as 2000mAh...
This battery works great! Makes the back cover fit extremely tight (you have to push down the side clips for them to clip in), but works great so far.
I should also mention that it makes the phone much heavier.
Can those with the batteries comment on the fit and the actual mah of the battery? I read the original thread and read people having problems with the fit and people reporting the battery to be an actual 1500 mah battery. Thanks.

Nope. When inserting the battery, it initially didn't turn on, but just slid it to the left and works fine. Lucky u guess. No cycles yet. Still on packaged charge for only about 30 min. Will check back the next few days. My reviews are based on my vibrant running ics tho.

I ordered one of these kinps 6300mah extended battery
Did a quick search on the kinps brand, apparently some galaxy note ii users said it was pretty decent so what the hell, it's cheaper than getting the zerolemon which costs quite a fair bit to ship out of the states.
Also, if it isn't close to 6300mah, I can always talk to the seller

maybe itll be just fine for you and that would be great, and i hope it is, but im quite confident in saying its not going to be 6300mAh.
if you spent $4 more, you could have bought a recognized brand like a hyperion 5200 mAh, and gotten better then rated specs. with a knips, or the OP's MPJ, they are one or all of the following:
1) purposely mislabeled capacity to deceive unsuspecting buyers
2) a recycled cell (not good)
3) manufacturing origin: China (Parts and assembly)
imho, i would have spent the extra $4 for quality.

I second that. Hyperion and Anker are the only two trusted double-capacity aftermarket batteries I would consider. 3x capacity - Zerolemon is a king. Every other brand claiming higher capacity just puts a fake label which in a lot of the cases you can remove (label that is) to read the actual battery marking. Samsung is very good at putting max size cells into OEM footprint, so anybody claiming more than 2600 mAh with original footprint is lying. The same with double capacity extended batteries, it's nothing more or less than double amount of original, so don't expect anything higher than 5200 mAh. Anything else will be a lie and you might not even get 2600 mAh or 5200 mAh out of these. Stay AWAY from any "Golden" labeled batteries. I got one of those for my N2 (labeled as 4200 mAh with a footprint of the original N2 3100 mAh). After external measurement it turned out to be slightly bigger than 2000 mAh. And I read the same reviews from others about these Gold batteries.

The thing is, those brands aren't readily available to the majority of the world. For instance, shipping for Anker and Hyperion batteries alone would be too expensive. For example, it costs me around USD55 to get a Zerolemon shipped to AU.
There are plenty of reputable Chinese brands out there too if you knew what they are.
yes this is a good option for my 2-year-old s4
I have a 7800mah anker and I only get about 15 hours from full charge....maybe I use my phone too much?
