Extended life battery yet

Do they make those extra large batteries that come with a new backing for the g2x yet? Any word on weather they will in the future? I hate swapping out multiple stock batteries.

someone on the FB G2x group mentioned one that's out there for over $100.. but of course, they didn't bother sharing link. I tried looking and I couldn't find one.. and the Optimus 2x has been out much longer, and there isn't one for that phone either.

go to amazon.com they have some battery with charger for $120 for the LG G2x which is probably the one they are talking about. i didn't read the the ad but the picture doesn't look like an extended to me though. No battery is worth $120 for a cell phone unless it never would need to charge again! lol. or would work on every cell phone maybe....
lol it got removed. it was there a couple hours ago. looked like a scam anyways.

look at this scam on amazon $3,000 for a wall charger! and the reviews are for a totally different item (a battery)

I did buy some extended batteries a while ago from ebay for my last phone. What I did was email some of the buyers of the battery and asked them about it.. But, recently I noticed some 1600mah batteries for sale on ebay for the g2x. I emailed a buyer.. he said "stay away".. He said it was only holding a charge for something like 1-2hrs.
Also, I can't get a battery w/a replacement door. I love my Body glove case.. There's no way I'm ditching it for a replacement battery. They'll have to come out with an extended battery that's the same size and like 1750mah for me to buy it.. Plus, who wants to take it out of the case constantly to switch to a backup stock battery. Not this guy.

Yeah that one for 120 is redic. I would love one that made the backing flush with the cam and maybe 2000mAh. People's cases would probably still fit as well. As long as it wasn't a hard plastic one.

Here's a link to one by Mugen. I haven't tried it because I don't want to spend that much but its the only reputable extended ife battery I've found so far.

Great! Thanks for the link. This is exactly what I've been looking for. You all gotta remember that these new cell phones are true personal computers literally, but since battery technology hasn't advanced much in holding capacity we need to accept this. I for one would rather have a functional device that's practical, rather than cosmetic form factor that only looks good, but can't even hold a charge for an 8 hour work shift. Even HTCs t mobile shadow, when it came out 4 years ago had horrible battery life, everyone complained and then t mobile gave every shadow owner a free extended battery through the mail. Even though it bulked up the phone, the HTC shadow was now practical and a dream to use. hopefully tmobile gets a lot of complaints on the g2x battery life and sends us all a free extended battery too. But for now I'm glad to know I can purchase this one. If anyone already has this mugen one please post a review. Thanks

HTC 2750mAh extended battery $39 at Verizon store

i was planning to buy the Seidio extended but found out about this sale & decided to buy it.

That is a great price. I got mine for around $41 after tax. That's with a 25% discount. When did you buy it?

I called my local store here in Memphis and its on sale for $39.
Sent from Synergized Thunderbolt via the XDA Premium App

I bought the ext. battery a few months ago, but just started using it regularly last week. Witht he Seidio ext. cover and case, the phone is a brick, but I love it. Ext battery lasts me easily all day with heavy use.

the thunderbolt is a bust.. It needs to look like a freaking brick and to feel like one in order to function like it should out of the box.
It would be nicer if it didn't have the hype going in.. this phone is really all hype, as there are many phones already better then this phone in a short time span, without nearly half as much hype.
bust

Get a life dude.

get laid noob

hahaha, start a thread slamming the TB and go on every post to complaint. think you are the noob here. i am totally happy with it, i get 10+hrs easy on a custom rom, if that was/is your complaint.
well, you could always get a different phone...and i am sure you will find faults with it.
i am happy with the dev's working on the TB and putting out amazing ROM's. think you shoudl try them out before starting up.

I agree. The extended battery works great for me. It's not as bad as some people make it seem. I for sure don't think its a "bust". Pros outweigh the cons for me.

I got the HTC extrended battery & cover from my local Verizon store about two weeks ago for ~$40 after tax due to my company discount. It is so nice not to have to worry about how much I surf the net, text or talk on the phone. Even after 12 hours of moderate use my battery averages ~50%, which is not too shabby.
I also bought the Seidio Active Extended case, but was not too impressed with the plastic kickstand and overall bulk. Believe it or not, I ended up using the High Gloss Silicone Cover for Extended Battery case that I purchased for ~$15 at the Verizon store. Though using the power/volume buttons was a little tough until the case was broken-in, it just feels less bulky and seems to offer better protection than the Seidio case (IMHO).

Got my extended 2 months ago and couldn't be happier. I went in the Verizon store complaining about battery life and how I can't use this phone anymore and they gave me the battery for $20 to shut me up Lol

Other Options
If you don't want to get an extended battery but you want some extended time there are some good deals on batteries on amazon. I saw on there you can get 2 regular 1400 mah batteries plus a wall charger for the batteries for $20. All the reviews seemed positive too. It's really just another option, and cheaper too.

Is it still on sale I need it bad!!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Do it. It bulky no question, but the added bulk actually makes it easier to hold. And I use the pi** out of my phone and it lasts from 6:30am until the following morning without touching a charger. I'm running chingy's 3d...but I suspect it would do that on just about on any custom ROM.

agreed, bought that deal, plus an extra battery charger for about 5 bucks so I have 2 batteries always ready to go.

What are you doing to make your battery drain so fast? I use my phone on AO5PTH3ORY with cooked in kernal and I am getting about 10 hours + when usage steady all day, on WiFi 3g/4g, email, text, internet. Try to flash a different radio if you are rooted for better signal (that worked for my cell phone standby drainage) or flash a different kernal (try dream kernel I hear great things)

I got 2 batteries off Ebay with an external wall charger for less than 10 bucks, and if you want to pay 5 bucks more you can get 3 batteries. Once I flashed to AOSP Rom I have not needed my extra batteries I have been unplugged for 7 hours with moderate use and I am still at 77%

mind letting us know how it performs compared to stock after you burn it in for a few days? i'm imagine the 1900mah rating it has isn't what its cracked up to be but if it still ends up performing better regardless, i might pick up a few

I put the 1st battery in dismorning Charged it up to 100% it was at about 86% when I put it in. I've been on battery for 3h 48m and I'm at 75% battery left. Been doing a lot of wifi, texting, and calling today since I finally got my HS Diploma. So I've been blowing up the phone a bit on the new battery lol. I can ensure once it burns in about 4 charges in, I' should get just a hour or 2 more over stock battery. The batteries do charge fast as I hear from others, and the battery is a tad bit lighter in weight.

Sweet.. two questions
Only way to charge is in phone, yes?
You ordered with China Post Air mail and it got there in only two weeks?? Not bad...

Yup. Supplier shipped the order. I know it's gonna be a while before they come, but I don't mind waiting. A good deal is a good deal.

They are all the same thing with different stickers. I've got about a dozen different batteries for my infuse from different sources. The ones on amazon have been very satisfactory, especially when comparing shipping times/costs (I have prime). Amazon carries the best replacement batteries for the infuse, as well as the widest variety, and most have very good reviews. Go check again.

I get an average of 5 more hours with the extended battery, after clearing batt stats, etc.
the battery says "replacement for SAM infuse 4g /i997 3.7VDC, 3500mAh"

I am most definitly going to order this battery. I just switched over from the iPhone 4, and this battery ia not nearly as good. So i orderd 2 replacement batteries off of eBay, which I most likely will return now after reading this.
I will give my feedback after I recieve the new battery.

New Andida Long Lasting Battery 3.7v at 1980 mAh

I was looking for a better and extended battery for my G2X, but after seeing how ugly the replacement back cover if you go with a bigger batt is, I decided not to. Couple days ago I saw that the stock battery is 1500 mAh and on Ebay I saw one made by Andida at 1980 mAh I gave it a shot..
I'm really happy with the results, it does make a big diference and I didnt have to get a new cover..
This is a great alternative...

Nice find! I am going to give it a shot... and for anyone else interested in this, here is the link on Ebay

I just got one but not from eBay, in OBO store from China, just $9
Work GREAT, only problem is... it take 3 weeks for delivery

I have been using this as well and get great results over stock.

I bought one from obostore as well, though shipping took quite a while.
It works pretty well, about equal or a bit better than the stock battery.

How much better is that???

Mine should be coming in tomorrow can't wait!!! Neither can my G2x!!!

I have that battery, the battery life gets worse overtime... I stopped using it and switched back to stock.

Anyone have another link to this battery?

Search it on obostore, that's where I got mine

It is a low brand in china, and it looks like the MOMAX brand.
It is sold for about 4$ in china.
I am pretty sure that the number 1980 is not real.

It can be used and use good, that's enough . Who care

It may not be 1980 but I notice that it can last as long as the stock battery if not a bit longer. Thanks OP for giving me alternate option than the huge 3500mAH battery that I've been using.

I ordered 2 stock batteries for the LG Thrill 4G described as 1540mAh. Should be here by Friday. $8.00 a piece is a very price. Plus I think my stock is going bad so using this a primary and back up.

So I've had this battery for about a week now, and I'd say it performs about the same as the stock battery. (I don't have exact hour measurements though) It's nice having 2 batteries for the G2x though, since I don't have to worry about running out of power mid-day.

Anker battery vs Polarcell battery(both 1800mah)

Fun thread. Which battery is better? I got the Anker batter but now i feel a little regretful as i think the Polarcell might be better..... The Anker seems good but i was expecting more and it charge slow too compared to my original samsung battery(thats 1 year 6 months old now).

My Polarcell battery life is very good. My record is over 7 hours of screen time.
I tried the stock battery with the same rom/kernel and it can't even get close to 7 hours. 4:30 hours at best.

Why can i find the polarcell battery. Whai is your ROM, your kernel to have a very good autonomie
