I guess you need one of those ugly covers huh?
I also bought this battery and just started using it yesterday. When I bought it I got it for just less than $15, including shipping.
Will report after a few days of use.

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.
EDIT: Weird, this was not the post I select to respond to???

I've been using this battery since mid February. It has given me more juice over the stock battery by quite a few hours.

How does this one perform compared to the Nexus extended? Do any of you have both?

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

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.

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 take it you use ghost armor or use it naked? Yeah, it does bulge but I use a case so I don't see it. I never actually needed longer battery life anyways, though. I grabbed it cuz it was $25 and now I have a spare. With oem battery mine lasts well over 24 hours with 5 hours of screen on time, auto brightness, emails, weather and everything else syncing. I would never run a cheapo battery though.
greekunit690 does the one you ordered require a different battery cover? Or is it just the same size? Samsung really should make an extended battery. Actually all cell phone companies need to make the batteries bigger like the driod razr maxx

I've been using this battery since Feb 17th. The stock battery would only get me through the work day and even then sometimes barely. Now I easily can go through the evening with about 30% left before I plug it in for the night. Once I forgot and it was at 1% the next morning which the stock never would've lasted that long.
I wasn't aware we could use the Nexus extended battery. Since I use a case I may switch to that. If I can find one at a good price on Prime.
How the heck do you get 5 hours of screen time and have it last 24 hours? Even with the nexus battery juice defender running I can get maybe 3-4 hours.

Juice defender is sucking down your battery. I run Gideons script as well as some other mods. Easily go over 24 hours, usually 2 days. With the extended battery I have gone over 8 hours screen on.

Im in your position aswell, my advice is to wait for zerolemon to release one. If your unaware of the company google them. They made a 2300mah for the galaxy s3 which I bought and it gave me on aversge 6 hours screetime as appose to 4 on the stock. And it fitted in the original back cover. Im guessing theyll make on for the s4 with 2800 mah..but dont be fooled they last way more than 200mah extra would suggest...u'll also get 2 batteries with a battery charger all for under $30...

Just saying, those 3300 mAH ebay batteries aren't actually 3300 mAH. I would say 2200-2500. Right now the only one that makes sense is the mugen one and it's insanely expensive, so consider waiting a little more or buying the BIG ASS battery by anker (5200 mAH with the special cover)

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.

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.
Hello

Man, I just bought 3500 battery from MPJ.
Looking at that "7000" mah battery, looks like the same size as the 5200's.
LOL, I'm worried that my 3500 now is really just a stock 2600.

This battery supposedly can fit in the stock case.

Umm? I get over 25 hours on stock battery with 5+ hours of screen time. That extended battery sounds like poo to be honest.

Pic or it didn't happen. That's pretty far stretch from what I typically get. I usually get around 18 hours with 3 hours screen time before the phone craps out.
It is only 4 hours of screen on time because I was at work all day yesterday but yeah close enough.

awesome, I had an old build from beanstalk and it was very stable but then went on to experiment on other things, but I'm about to go back to Beanstalk downloading it as I write, you should try Ktoonz kernel that's what I've been using with all my roms, it'll boost your battery life :victory:

Lol thanks. XD I'll see how much my anker batteries last. (I do apologize for hijacking your thread) I just don't see a point in a bigger battery when I can have three and swap it out PLUS I can use any case I want anywho goodluck on the extended batteries.
