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
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
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~

I was looking on Ebay, and I came across this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/X2-1800mAh-...ccessories&hash=item27be899b8b#ht_2747wt_1144
$12 for a 1800 mAh battery for the Epic 4G touch! This is good news considering it would fit in the Epic 4G's battery slot, correct?
One thing that threw me off was:
"Compatible with :
SAMSUNG i9100 GALAXY S 2 II
EPIC 4G TOUCH SPH-D710 SPRINT (Not for Epic 4g)"
It still works with the Epic 4G though right? The statement is wrong?

That's not the OEM 1800mAh battery from the Epic Touch....sorry to render this thread meaningless lol
Go fat ($8 "3500mAh" battery) or go home if you want better battery life IMHO
What about this then?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BATTERY...ccessories&hash=item19c904ec86#ht_1265wt_1144
Btw I have a 3500 mAh battery, but I would love to find a battery that would give a significant increase and still look the same.
If you don't buy the Genuine Samsung 1800mAh battery then there's no difference between buying those or ebay batteries marketed as OG epic batteries. Take for example your 3500mAh battery. If you bought it from a reputable company (seido, mugen) than you can expect that 3500mAh to be about 2450mAh (about 70% of stated capacity). OEM batteries are pretty much exactly what they're claimed to be (96-100% of stated capacity).
So unless you get a really good deal and like swapping out multiple low cap batteries it's usually better to just buy OEM.
I just bought 2 Anker 1800mah batteries I will let you know how they hold up.

then clearly you don't want the longer lasting battery i have the OG epic with the Hyperion cover and battery you think yours is going to add bulk hah. Yeah right.
Mine has bulk and after a few days got used to doesn't hurt my daily routine at all, still can access it out of my pocket, etc.... yours w/extended battery will be the size of my phone stock. or a tad bit bigger.
He doesn't want an extended door. He wants a slim battery with a little extra juice. Stop forcing things on people when they've clearly stated that "isn't" what they want and when the thread itself isn't about what your trying to shove down people's throats.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I have the Seidio Active X case and love the look and feel of it, no I don't want an extended battery. The stock 1500mah battery will get me through a little more than half a day, I don't mind swapping out batteries from the wall charger once a day. I asked if anyone has used the Hyperion 1800mah so I know if it will fit like the OEM epic touch battery will.
I appreciate your suggestion and have looked at extended batteries and I'm simply not interested in that. I guess its a matter of preference, you prefer one big ass battery that will last all day, I prefer 2 stock sized batteries to get me through the day.
Back to my original question since it never got answered, has anyone tried the Hyperion epic touch 1800mah battery and is it the same size as the oem? K, thanks.

Ok? But he already said he didn't want that, yet you continued on about why he should get it anyway and ignore the bulk cause it's worth it, ect?
There's also that whole factor of what the thread is about.

Forget it because you clearly dont understand its not worth arguing why trying to explain things. He will make his decision and we all can move on.
I finally upgraded to the 1800 mAh OEM battery, and now rarely go below 50% usage by the end of the day. I'll probably swap the one in the wife's Epic 4G soon too. Love it so far.

Well I think the guy has an OG Epic and wants to use a generic battery for the epic touch with it, while you keep saying that your phone, being the OG epic, is fat as hell and I think that what your getting from this is that he has an Epic Touch, which I doubt considering his sig, I could be wrong though.

Where did you get this? My stock battery is 1500 mAh, same with the other two Epics here in the house. I got a 3200 mAh battery and I enjoy the capacity even if it makes holster options very limited. It would be nice to find a slightly roomier battery that didn't need a new back cover to get for them - and maybe me. I rarely dip below 70% on this monster, so it might be nice to have the slim 1800 and save my 3200 for days when I know I'll need that double capacity.

Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G 2 x 2000mAh Battery+ Charger
http://www.htcexpress.com/samsung-b...attery-free-wall-dock-charger-w-usb-port.html
For
SAMSUNG
Epic 4G (SPRINT)
I am very happy with the battery life. Getting about 7hrs plus on light surfing, with just data 3g on constant, and bluetooth use only on when needed. Sorry I dont have one of those phone screen for proof but rest assured it the best slim fit battery out there that I am aware. After purchasing the mAh 1800 generic, the mAh 1950 QCell and finally Samsung 2000 mAh which is the best quality being that its not generic or fake just pure brand, and I noticed the difference in performance. Using right now Clean GB 1.1.2 on BML and I mainly use phone for talk with opening 1 or 2 pages of web and some on & off bluettoth, no 4g, no wifi, vibrate or silence, screen off in 2min, no live wallpapers = solid 7hrs for me. Results may vary depending on your apps but I stop using memory apps just a fresh install of CleanGB.
Fit on Epic 4g Sprint sph-d700 phone is tight but good. Plus I use Seidio ACTIVE Case for Use with Samsung Epic 4G - Black so it snugs real nice the back cover with battery.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1Y2D6V06D7ZPGDM5F4SF
Anyway www.htcexpress.com delivered quick USPS and even found a coupon to get 10% off so I purchased 2 orders for $62.00 for 4 batteries and 2 charger, one for my girl. I'm good to go when traveling I have my Samsung 2000 mAh in phone and one spare in jean pocket enough to cover me for when I charge at home.
P.S. i used this code OFF10 in the shopping cart under Vouchers and guess what its cheaper by 10% until supplies last or offer ends.
As always Thank You XDA for all of your wonderful forums on ROMs and Themes, hope you can enjoy this Epic battery Review...

Somehow I doubt that.. I got some "1800mah" 3rd party batteries about a year ago and while they worked great at first, they slowly deteriorated and now they won't even last an hour, while my stock 1500mah still lasts at least 15h with light use and is about 1.5 years old.
Stock Battery average at best...
Yeah on stock I would get like 4-5hrs at best now I can last solid 7hrs so to answer your questions the more mAh the more power you can store in it. The trick I have found is not to let go to 0 more like 10 or 20 % before a full charge.
As for the extra charger its neat to take it on the go but I use my cradle charger for home recharging.
I think the 1800mAh Samsung battery is overrated just like the expensive Seido Extended Battery. The 1500mAh and this one both are made in china except this one might be third party because it does have www.chichitec.com printed in the back cover but in the end its just a battery with 200mAh more than Samsung. I might just have to buy this OEM Samsung 1800mAh battery that everyone praises just to see the difference.
Anyway this is just for those who want to have a little bit extra without the bulge of a extended battery cover. I am happy with it and just wanted to share and try it out has suggested in my other thread by a fellow member.

The whole idea of the 1800mAh OEM battery is that it fits with the original back cover not making it to bulky, the battery is actually capable of lasting all day with medium-usage. At least compared to my year old 1500mAh one

Anyway can go a good 9hr+ even better than previous stated. One note when charging on USB I get 100%, after unplug I only see 94% (1880 mAh) don't know if this is because I charge in phone or I should use their wall charger to get the full 100% from point of turning on phone.
Now I hear theres a 2300mAh but reviews sound skeptic. Will have to do some more research, but I think I have bridged the gap with extended and slim using this battery.

They seem to be the same exact battery, just someone got wise and decided to put brand name on it and double the price lol. Of course I've only had one to test but it scored nearly identical with one of my Generic fatt batts.
There seem to be stronger contenders from both flavors (Generic or Hyperion). One one hand there's word of mouth (Hyperion) and one the other there's actual testing (Generic) but if people could send me some *preferably newer* Hyperions, then we can let the data tell us the answer we're looking for
What I REALLY want to test is a Seidio because I'm betting it will perform similarly and I just want to show people how bad of an investment they are.

I don't have the highest of hopes for it personally (capacity wise) but I believe it'd fit just fine since the OEM Epic Touch battery fits our phone. The Epic 4G's batteries are just a smidge longer/thinner and the Epic Touchs are a little thicker/shorter so maybe our OEMs may not fit there phones but if the 3rd parties match the OEM Epic Touch size dimensions I don't see how it wouldn't fit a regular Epic 4G.

Why dont you have high hops for them? capacity wise if its any good near the oem 1800 it should be better or the same if not.

I just see it being like the Hyperion, aka a Generic in a branded battery's clothing lol. And my experience has shown Generic slim batteries being rather crappy, sadly I haven't personally tested my Generic "1500mAh" slim Epic battery before I lost it.

so instead of these batteries what do you think is a better choice 2x Anker 1800 mAh plus a charger for $19.99.
Or an 1800 OEM?

In that case you may be better off going with the Ankers actually, I hear nothing but satisfied people talking about their's...if you want you could order them to me and I can review them and then send them to you when I'm done so we (the public) can see how two typical Ankers score brand new.
iviyth0s said:
They seem to be the same exact battery, just someone got wise and decided to put brand name on it and double the price lol. Of course I've only had one to test but it scored nearly identical with one of my Generic fatt batts.
There seem to be stronger contenders from both flavors (Generic or Hyperion). One one hand there's word of mouth (Hyperion) and one the other there's actual testing (Generic) but if people could send me some *preferably newer* Hyperions, then we can let the data tell us the answer we're looking for
What I REALLY want to test is a Seidio because I'm betting it will perform similarly and I just want to show people how bad of an investment they are.

I got a Seidio 3300 I was suppose to be sending to a guy on here testing batteries, but been kinda busy never got around to it. I believe its extremely overpriced but I've had it for about a year now and it still holds up great. The door for it doesn't fit never really did but its an ok battery, if I could go back I would and just get a Generic.

Hi just got these Onite batteries.

Nice package. 2 1900mAh batteries, charger, and pen.
How do I go about testing this battery to see if is comparable to others?

Has anyone been able to find the battery for sale that is in stock? EB-K600BUW is the part number but nobody seems to have it available including Samsung.
No

So far the Anker aftermarket battery has been working very well as my 2nd battery.
samsung.com has it for $40, $50 for the kit, it is currently on backorder, i'm thinking they should have it in a week or two, just keep checking. also, don't forget to register your phone with them, you'll get an email for 50% off cellphone accessories priced no higher than $50, max 5 items.
I threw the dice, and ordered off of ebay. Should have 2 batteries and a charger in 3 weeks....

guess we are all rolling dice lol.
This one should be with me next week. ill let you guys know how it is

Isn't the S3 battery 2100mAh stock? The S4 comes with a beefier 2600mAh battery. Cool that the batteries will work in a pinch though.
Yeah. And It has a little space on the right side of the battery but it fits snug and the phone turns on

I ordered two of these batteries and they just came in today. The battery and the cover don't make the phone that much thicker.
I agree on the Anker Batteries. Had two of those for my EVO 3D after buying all sorts of different batteries. They are the only ones that lasted for me.
Testing out one of the extended batteries. Starting at 90% power. I'll report back after several hours with usage statistics.

I just received these batteries and charger..
3 x 3000mAh battery + US Wall USB Charger For Samsung Galaxy S4 4 IV I9500
Works good, no NFC (as with most cheap extra batteries).. Battery Monitor Pro registers 3100mAh :good::good::good:
a bit for a tight fit as you'd expect from an extended battery that fits with the stock backplate (which bulges very slightly)
So far so good though

5 hours off the charger (starting at 90%) and I'm down to 59% power after moderate/heavy use. Keep in mind that this is an initial charge.

Cool. Do you think that we could use the GS3 extended 3000mah battery in the GS4?

Those are the ones I bought XD hoping they work fine!
Just bought the Anker battery, arriving Tuesday. Will be interested to see how it fairs considering I bought it brand new for only £10, with the official Samsung battery costing £35. As long as it fairs up relatively well, I'm not fussed about not having the NFC capability.

Used same branded batteries as spares for my Galaxy Nexus and they perform fine. You probably won't get the same as from the official battery but these are well worth it for those who need some extra juice and don't care about losing NFC.
A screencap of my 5200mAh battery on its initial charge.
