Simple. The Amaze's battery fits in our device. All you need to do is flip it so the point match up right.
Our battery is 1520 mAh
The Amaze is 1730 mAh. I can get a good 2 days on this battery, I'm not sure how. But I do, and it's great. Much better than buying an extended.
Also after some research I found that the EVO 3D, Shooter, Sensation (All?), and some others have the same battery. Just need to flip the battery to fit.
I'd post Pics, but I only have one working battery now. So trust me on this, I'm sure there's other battery threads. But none talking about other compatible batterys.
i might just get an amaze battery....i was thinking about a mugen but the skeptical about the price and mixed reviews
I'm not going to waste my money. I'm buying the SGSIII at the months close if all goes well with my paycheck. I'll give my sis or mom this phone with Bulletproof installed. I personally can't wait to get rid of this brick. I don't use the keyboard... I must b the only one with this phone who has yet to use the keyboard to type more than a paragraph.

Anker is the best bang for your buck. But modded and rooted, I've increased the battery life of my phone two fold. Phone is definitely usable with stock battery if you tweak it properly

Actually, the Anker battery is marketed for the sensation, so that thread was talking about a compatible battery.

Same here. I won a One S, but had to sell it. Never even used it, I'm in the same ball park as you. I was buying a Note, but I want to keep T-Mo. I'm considering a GNEX, but that GSIII is calling me. Then again, all GNEX owners are saying to buy a GNEX. Wait for the new Nexus. I'm torn, and I really need help. As where all "Friends" here. What should I do?

For the extra little boost, do it. Just buy a real HC branded one. Also the Evo 3D, and Sensations (All?) Work. I have tested the Evo 3D, Sensation 4G/3G/XE. The Amaze. One of the perks of my new Job, lots of phones. So I see what works on what.

Best battery I've used for this phone is the Anker 1900. There is a 2150 that will fit but, it is expensive and not easy to find a real one. I forget who makes it but, the battery life is probably the same as the Anker. Many companies, even MugenPower, lie about the actual mAh of the batteries they make.

You can keep T-Mobile if you buy a Note outright. You can flash a radio that will work with T-Mobile's 4G. The Galaxy Nexus is nice, but the camera is a little lacking from what I've heard. The Galaxy S III will probably be my next phone, but only because I have an upgrade coming up and it will be cheaper than a Galaxy Nexus and Note. Also, there will be some AOSP Roms for the GS III since it will be a pretty high end device.

Certainly mere 12% larger capacity battery cannot give 200% or more usage time, it is not possible (and I'm assuming your standard battery could keep up for 1 whole day - which mine can't).
So there has to be some other factors involved here.
Perhaps your HTC Amaze battery is rated 4.2V instead of 3.7V?
(Ours DoubleShot is 3.7 Volt, and so is Amaze supposedly, but I've seen few 4.2V batteries for Amaze/Sensation on ebay, for example I still have THIS ONE bookmarked - if those are not mistakes, of course)
If so, perhaps running slightly higher voltage battery at lower current would/could extend it's usage time? (although I'm not so sure is it healthy for the device, even though it is only 0.5V difference)
The Anker battery is 4.2V max charge, not 4.2V battery. Most (if not all) 3.7V Li-Ion (and Li-Po) batteries that are 3.7V have a max charge voltage of 4.2V.

Lol, they sure do! Most of the BestBuy extended life batteries are Li-Po. I thought I read that the One S's built in battery is a Li-Po, which would make sense since the cells are generally smaller.

The battery on the G2 looks almost the same as then one from the Touch Pro 2. Are they the same? I don't have my Touch Pro 2 anymore.
I did a comparison at the corp store. It's a bit thicker (you can feel with finger).
All you have to do is to flip the battery and cut the corner by the connectors, but the thickness may block the back cover even though it's 0.3mm thicker.
Good to know. The G2 might actually use the same battery as the HTC Eris and Dinc. Anybody can confirm that? I want to pick up a couple of batteries and a charger on ebay but don't want to pay a premium price just because they are listed for the G2 only.

Damn HTC , may wanna check the form factor of the battery it self.
I have a mytouch slide which has the same battery as the g2, 3.7v dc 1300mah
Thing is, not only would you have to flip it face side down to align with the pins, but the nub is backwards making the ass end of the battery stick out a bit too much, dunno what snappin that lil peace off would so as Im not a battery geek, and Im not sure how far the cells inside and its caseing are etc :\

Really if i last till 4pm that is like heaven for me. I have charger in my car and work but still i hate that i have to keep my phone on the charge all the time I will be looking for a 1800 battery to replace the OEM battery
Here's to that.
Haven't had my G2 long, but the few days I have I've been around 20-25% at 5pm. I take it off the charger at 6am when I head to work.
Used a 2300mAh in my G1 - it spoiled me!
So I'm guessing no one has any information regarding if there is any extended batteries for the G2 yet? I just got my G2 yesterday and I pulled it off the charger this morning at 6:30 a.m for it to be dead by 4:30 p.m. I definitely want something to last a little longer than that.
As far as I've seen, there aren't any extended batteries yet. But the phone did just come out. It's going to take the case/accessories/battery companies a few weeks to get stuff shipping, I would assume.
If the battery in the G2 is the same as the one in the Droid Incredible (I am just speculating, they both seem to have the same specs), there is a slim extended 1750 mAH from Innocell on the seidio website.

Don't waste your time with the Seidio extended battery. It is nowhere near the 1750 that it is rated at.
Take a look at this thread: http://androidforums.com/incredible-accessories/98877-seidio-liar-liar-your-pants-fire.html
I can confirm that the Dinc battery does not fit into the G2, due to the tabs built into the corners.
Edit: you would also have to put the Dinc battery in upside down to align the contacts.

I remember reading somewhere that the G2 battery is the same model as the HTC Wildfire battery. Of course I can't find where I read that now. Does anyone know if that's true? I hope so, since G2 batteries on eBay are $30, whereas Wildfire batteries are only 5 bucks.

Actually, upon searching ebay for "HTC vision" batteries Wildfire batteries kept popping up in the titles. Given that there's already extended batteries for the Wildfire that don't seem to be out of proportion, I'm thinking I'll be the guinea pig on this one.

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.
I have had good experiences with these batteries in the past. 19.99 for one plus charger and 34.99 for two.

Used this for my g2 as well gave me 2-3 extra hrs, the reason it didnt fit that well is because it was for the evo not the g2 but either way I purchased it too should get it tomorrow or thurs will keep you guys posted

I thought I read the evo battery were 3.8V which would in the long run hurt the sensation which supports 3.7V. Is that wrong?
So has anyone noticed a significant increase in battery life by using the chichitec battery? I would like to order, but I would be happy to read some positive comments beforehands.
My fear is that the 1900mAh are pure scam and that it is in fact just about the same as the OEM. Am I wrong?
Ordered it on monday but processing takes 4-5 days, I think everyone who purchased the Chicitec has had experience with the battery before. I had this with my g2 and notice about a 3-4 hr increase in battery life which is enough for me to buy from them again. I'm not sure if they're actually 1900 but if i get 2-3 extra hrs ill be happy.

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.

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.

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.

i ordered the other day waiting for them to arrive the wife has a epic too so both aren't for me.

So I was on amazon looking for extended batteries. I've heard that the anker and hyperion batteries are reliable, and that some batteries can be worse than others. I wanted to get two extended batteries (3500mAh ones) and this seemed good:
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337731035&sr=1-6
does anyone know if this is any good? The fact that it comes with a belt clip is sort of appealing
Would've been nice if it came with an external charger, but I can probably do with the one I already have.
Anyways, anyone have any tips or suggestions concerning good/decent extended batteries for the epic 4g?

Here's a few screenie's from my phone using the Hyperion 3500 mah i have 2 of them and they're about the same.
On CM7 i could get a day's worth of battery with about 1-2 Hours of actual screen on time. Or6 Hours of screen on time and 7 hours on the battery just straight streaming netflix. I have gotten 2 Days before on Cm7 with 1.5 Hours of screen on time for display.
On ICS i can get about 15-18 Hours depending on usage

so none of them are actually 3500 mAh right? and it looks like they can actually be worse than the stock batteries?? I guess it wouldn't be too bad since I don't really mind changing batteries (i'll be getting 2 "3500" mAh batteries)

It would be in your best interest to get the hyperion. I've had great results with both of the ones i have. I barely even complained about a broke backing and they sent me a brand new complete unit free of charge. Cant go wrong with Hyperion.

Definitely spend the 15$ and grab the Hyperion, much better.
Or 2x 1800 mAh ankers.
I am actually going to get the Ankers they will be here tomorow so i will go ahead and test them out and reply back here and other battery stat thread.
wonder if this would fit in ours granted its the Epic Touch it should but for us the highest ive seen is 3500 so this could be interesting to see

my bro insisted on Anker batteries (he has an Anker battery for his SG2, working really well), and they have much better reviews than the other batteries. Hyperions sound good too... I'll look into it.
thanks for the input! XD

I'd love to have yours on my test bench to clear their name, because the only one I've tested didn't out shine 2/3 generics I have.

They aren't 3500mAh no, but while they don't reach their claimed capacity, they offer a hefty value as far as capacity/dollar is concerned. True OEM 1500 batteries can be closer the same price ($7.89 here, still more expensive though) and true OEM 1800mAh batteries are more then double the 1500's in cost (best price I found here was $17.66).
If the swivel case isn't a huge loss for you, maybe get just one battery and see for yourself for much cheaper, $6.53 here

Sounds about on par with how I'd expect the Hyperion to perform, and it's hard to say since it was my oldest Generic but it *seems* as though the larger print "3500" batteries don't perform as well as the small print labeled ones (which if you ever looked at the Hyperion, it has the small print label )
(Thanks for the thread rep'n btw )

I've heard good things about Ankers as well but sadly have not got a chance to test any so word of mouth is the best review we have for them
As for the Hyperion, I know it's only one test but they seem to be just as hit or miss with more to lo$e

I ordered the $6.53 ones (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004MB66B0/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new) just for the heck of it, along with 2 1800 mAh Anker+charger for $20. Will see how this turns out

Well one or both of you needs to send them to me to clear their name so I can recommend them
I did see that but I wonder if it will fit differently since it's for epic touch....I'm mighty tempted though haha

just wondering, how exactly do you conduct these tests? and the epic touch's battery is a few millimeters longer than the epic 4g's ='( and it's 4 pronged or w/e while the epic 4g is 3. if aligned correctly, the battery is able to power the epic 4g though

I'm not worried about length or width as the OEM Epic Touch battery (aka the 1800mAh) fits easily into our phones, though I always heard that the Epic 4G's batteries were slightly longer so I was more worried about the Hyperion Epic Touch version being a slight bit too deep (to fit the same capacity) to work...though I think there is a little extra space in the current Generic battery cover that may allow for what little more depth there *may* be (as you can shake the phone and hear the battery jostle around slightly)

Yeah it's weird that sometimes they do that, change some of the phone so that they aren't compatible. Probably the most absent minded business strategy I've ever heard
Just to let you guys know there is actually a set of the 1800 mAh's for our phone and the Epic Touch i got the one for our phone and the 1st charge i got 15-16 HRs and about 3 Hrs of screen on time
I personally use the Yoobao 2800 mAh extended battery from here
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Extended-Battery-Replacement-Cover/dp/B004G7JWT8/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337876031&sr=1-1 its a little more pricey but im running CM9 AOKP build 35.2 and get about 18 hours out of it, with at least 4-5 hours of usage on the web or talking on the phone. I watched several videos on Youtube with recommendations and thats what made me get one. I dont think I have ever had it die all the way on me during the day, as long as I charge it every day or two I have no problems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al_po8oanz0 this guy has multiple videos reviewing these batteries and after trying it out versus a generic 3500 mAh, it is much preferred.

That's okay? but the 3500 mAh Hyperion i can get 4-5 Hours of screen on as well as 18-24 Hours on ICS. Hell on CM7 i got close to 2.5 Days with about 1.5 Hours of screen on time.
Not to mention the 1800 Ankers are slim so it fits without a big back and gets still decent battery life i just got 16 Hours and 3 Hours of screen on time on the 1st charge just opened the battery up and put it in the phone @100% so it hasn't even settled in yet.
