Stock battery vs mugen

Well mugen is 1800mah and i saw many good reviews on the threads. It looks like it gives 1-2 hrs of extra time compare to stock. The only downside is its price... 40 dollars for a battery..
Which one should i get? I can get the stock htc g2 battery from tmobile for 7.99 but downside of it is i have to carry around.
Whats your guys opinion which one would you get?

Tmobile. Just call tmobile and you are having problem with battery life and you went through techinal support and did hard reset and everything.
So you dont have to go through that stupid step.
Then they will send you the replacement but you have to pay for shipping

the 1800 mah battery would net your more like an additional 5 hours. on a normal day on stock battery i go through about 65% of my battery (unplug at 7:30am and recharge at around midnight)
as long as it fits, it's fine.
now the 1500 one will net you an hour or 2 extra without the extra bulge.

Would you recommend chichitecs red battery. Or mugen
Chichitec or mugen? I'm going to get a case and just take out the battery metal cover so bulging is not that big of a problem

I have personally not used either (since I'm kinda happy with the stock battery) but I would recommend the Mugen. It's a well known brand, it's got lots of good back up here on xda developers (based on spec sheets and testing) and that 40bucks isn't that bad if you consider that you'll get a good amount of battery life on you.

I've posted this set of batterys in a few other threads, I don't know if it is really 1800mah BUT it is for sure better then the stock battery and you don't have to modify it at all. Been using it for a couple months now and can make it through the day no problem. Some people don't like the cheap/generic ebay batterys, but Im happy with its performance. I think a few others on here have been using it too, don't know what their results are yet.

Pulled the trigger and ordered the chichitec batteries lastnight.

If you don't have a problem with a bulky back and want extreme battery life, you should check out the 3500 mAH batteries on eBay. I got myself 3 of them and I only need one due to the long battery life, by the time I come home on the second day, I can just plug it in and charge it fully for the next 2 days.

Isn't the metal battery cover integrated into the antenna? Check the nubs on the lock side of the case and the plates they touch on the cover.

i personally wouldn't think so
if it is attached to the antenna, when ever you touch the back of your phone it would affect the antenna so no~

are 3000mAh batteries any good?

there are a lot of 3000mAh batteries on ebay... that are not expensive.. are they any good? how much more battery life will i get?

anyone has tried one of those 3000mah batteries?

EBay ones tend to be crap. Mugen s 3200mah is good and does the job reliabiy
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

Mugen is pretty expensive.. any other cheaper but good brand/model?

i am using mugen 3200, i will score it 8.5/10, the bad points are the case very loose and blocked flash light in a certain degree.

Nothing some blutack wont fix. And no I don't know. There's a post further down documenting some people's experiances with ebay if you want to look for it

Well if you willing to sacrifice your phone's look go ahead and try it, but it will get very ugly with that thickness...

Where can i buy one of those? i never seen such a big battery.

Remember you'll always get what you pay for. If you want a second battery buy an orginal one.

thx for all your advices
i finally opted for an oem battery for desire/nexus one

I'm got the 3200mAh from saido. It's a great battery and worth its price!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

how much is it? where did u buy it?

The "ebay" batteries tends to have smaller capacity than announced.
http batteryboss org
(can't post links)

Exacly...anything over original 1400 is bs in my opinion. I've heard about 3000mAh for HTC Evo but that battery is much bigger in size and require custom back case.

i got myself a 3200mAh mugen battery from the states best thing i ever did lasting for 5 days now on one charge

I bought a 3000mAh Extended Battery from the seller.

battery case is included. i think it is ok.

what rom are you on when you have 5 days duration ?

It's great if you want your battery to last days without charge but terrible if you want a nice sleak phone due to the fact that the 3200amh batteries add extra thickness to the phone which really makes it look ugly in my opinion. Mugen power batteries are really good though they are expensive. I'd be weary about buying from eBay because although they may be cheaper, a lot of the times they're not the capacity stated and have bad quality lithium ions that simply don't hold a charge!

Can I buy it in Ukraine? Somebody know?

I have a 3000mAh battery, but the only way I can get a full charge is with an external charger.
Then I can get between 3-4days from 1 charge.
Charging the 3000mAh in my phone, doesn't seem to last any longer than a standard battery.

[Q] Battery 2000amh, recommandation?

what about this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HIGH-CAPACI...ultDomain_3&hash=item2eb5daa87a#ht_2295wt_905

I bought one that looks identical but its 1600 mah and its fake and even worse than the original one so it is certain that it is fake so dont buy it

browse through the many threads about "hi-capacity" batteries. Just because an ebay seller says it's 2000mah, it doesn't mean it will be.
In short they are all false - apart from the Mugen 1500mah battery, which is made by a trusted manufacturer and has managed to squeeze extra capacity into the same battery size.

This one really is a little better than than the original.
But its a waste of money if you buy batteries claiming anything more than 1500 mAh.

How much longer is your battery life? %
i can use my desire hd with ARHD about 2-3 days

I saw a few days ago also 2000 Mah batteries on Ebay just for 16 dollars. Not even worth trying them out because I already know it would be piece of ****
I'll just keep the original battery for now.

I also bought a fake one T.T

I think it's a bit dangerous to use a so powerful battery pack... if some water falls on it you are in trouble (personal experience)

I got one of these wonderful Raikko 5200 mAh external USB Chargers.(Just google it). They are not very cheap, but they work with all my devices and have a huge capactiy.

I have been using those ebay 3500 mA batteries for about a year with no issues. Only problem was the plastic cover they sent with some, tends to break easly and doesn't fit so good, then I had to add some tape between battery and plastic door for the battery doesn't move inside. Performance is good, usually last about 3 days depending of usage.

My experience with a high capacity battery is not so good.
I bought a year ago a Mugen 3200 mAh batt. Now after 1 year it charges very quick and discharges very quick. My original 1500 mAh batt now lasts longer.

The most replys on ebay to the dealer for the big battery are not so good.
You can find it on Amazon too and some more no good news from the buyer.
I think best choice not to buy it.
Kind regards dekker

I still believe in 1500 mAh original battery from our SGS, even bought one when my first original battery

ZeroLemon has one coming out soon, @3000 mAh
Anker has a 2750 mAh battery avaliable (150 more then stock, for double the price... have fun with that...)
basically any other stock size battery you see on ebay advertised as stock sized with 3000+ mAh is a scam and you should AVOID it like the plague.

I suspect 3000mah maybe pushing it. I would even invest in something portable like a battery pack than a 7500 mah battery which weigh 2x.

A portable pack is definitely useful to have around. In addition to my ZeroLemon 7500mah battery, I also own a PowerGen 9000mah battery pack that can output 2A or 0.5A. It charges the S4 very quickly.

I just got an extra Samsung factory 2600mah battery w/ charger package today. I considered getting the Zero Lemon 7500, but figured having 2 factory batteries and a charger is all I'm ever gonna need. Every morning I'm just gonna switch out the battery on my phone, and head to work. No more phone charging!

Are you talking about the cheap piece of plastic on the back? Lol, no problem spending an extra 5 or so bucks replacing that (1x maybe 2x per year max). Hopefully there will be a better aftermarket battery door that will last longer. Either way its the least of my worries.
