Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery

Ive been looking for an extended battery that fit in the original housing and I found this. My question is has anyone tried this for the thunderbolt and how does it fair compared to the stock battery?

Just bought one. I'll give it a try and let you know. Thanks for posting.

Also interested in this. Would like more battery. Just don't want the bulk of the HTC extended battery.

I was messing around on amazon and seen a few 1700mah batteries and am looking in to one.

Why spend so much on one battery
As long as you dont mind switching batteries atleast once a day hit up Ebay and get 2 or 3 batteries depends on your use, and an external wall charger for around 10 to 13 bucks. they are also slim and after conditioning they last as long as stock batteries.

wow, 41 bucks on amazon and just as many 1 star reviews as 5 stars. Think I'll stick to my aftermarket batteries on the cheap.

One of these would go perfect with the otterbox.

I know a lot of these batteries that are labeled on amazon and ebay are actually stock knockoffs labeled as 1750, but truly share the same capacity as the 1400. I haven't tried or talked to anyone that's tested this listing so it could be a true claim. Just a warning for people to keep in mind. A lot of guys on ebay are even selling 1750 extended batteries that arrive still using the 1400 mah labels.

I would normally agree and not post something like this but this was on the seidio site. Being as they could lie as much as anyone on eBay I thought this might be different since this is a company and not just some third party eBay seller. I'm just curious if this battery holds up to the claims.

After FULLY charging I got 19 hours medium use the first time. Shoud get better as battery calibrates.

Are you running stock using 4G or 3g? And how long were you getting on the stock battery?

I apoligize if I sounded like I was trying to be condescending. I would have totally made the same call you did with giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's a big company with a good reputation, and I wouldn't doubt them without proof.
My post was meant as a warning for the people that read the thread and head straight to ebay and buy the first 99 cent battery they can find, and then install it and start bashing a developer about battery life lol

I purchased a couple of these batteries and during the first week they seemed to work well, but after that, battery usage was horrible. I was lucky to get 6-8 hrs out of them.

I have both and the andida just isn't as good as the extended battery from Samsung. I've seasoned it like the instructions say and it just doesn't last nearly as long. It's only been a week and I'm still testing it.

Agreed, it's only a tiny little bit better or if any better than the original battery.

I ordered 2 of these and a stand alone charger off Amazon for $30. Hope I didn't waste my money! Will know when I get back home in a week and get to test them out.
Does anyone that has had luck with them have any suggestions for how to "break them in", I think the instructions show to cycle them 5 times before use?

After receiving and using an Andida for about a week I was pretty disappointed. Its about the same as the stock. Nexus Extended is better.

I have the Andida battery and I feel that it does give me 2-3 hours more on a charge. No hard facts, just my impression from using it for about a week.

My experience, it gave me about 2-3 hours like what others said. I usually got 10-13 hours. I'm personally using the Qcell 3850 mah battery now, 24+ hours

Thank you I've been looking for one if these to see if it increases my battery. I have a rev10 and from talking with others the rev11 has better battery life. On stock my battery only gave me 2 1/2 hours. Now I get 5 to 5 1/2 but that's due to a custom kernel and other mods. I actually found a guy who had an extra and would sell it to me, but after he agreed to sell it he never logged into XDA again

There are more too just Google nexus 4 disassemble or teardown. Its very easy to just replace the battery just remember the battery is set with double sided tape so be careful. I used a plastic butter knife to place between the battery and N4 and used my flat head to put pressure on the plastic knife.

They're $99

I wouldn't rush getting a new battery, it's not like you can fit it on the go (unless you have a Torx screwdriver with you). You will eventually get decent copies by battery companies and they will be a fraction of the price. No, I don't mean these £2 Chinese copies on eBay that last 10 minutes, but you get some big companies copying batteries for Galaxy devices and iDevices and I'm sure this phone will be no different.

Even batteries from companies like mugen and sedio do not compare well will OEM for the price they charge. Check out this site that did an in depth comparison. They are not much better than those 2 dollar batteries. Its not going to matter though since I don't think they will maybe a battery for the nexus 4 since its not easily replaceable.

Got mine a few days ago, does anyone know if it's best to leave the spare battery in the charger until it's time to swap out or to remove it once it's charged?

Don't bother with their notification system. It won't notify you when it is back in stock. Looks like it's about every two weeks or so when stock comes in and sells out within a day.

Post Pictures of Your S4 with Extended Batteries

I know a lot of us are looking to buy extended batteries, and some of us have already purchased some. I am personally in the former group. It's hard to judge thickness since a lot of the pictures don't really give you a side view, and don't have anything in the picture to provide scale.
I'm hoping we can use this thread as a collection of pics of the various extended batteries/battery cases to help each other see how bulky a particular battery is in order to make a more informed purchasing decision.
If you're going to add a picture, please post the brand name, mah, and try to include something in your pic that adds scale (ruler, penny, standard pencil, before and after pic, etc). Also, if you've had it for a bit, maybe throw in a couple of lines stating how you feel about the battery in regards to size/performance and whether you would recommend purchasing it.
