Better to use an undervolted kernel and/or underclock the cpu and run it at 800Mhz top to extend battery life than too get this behemoth

It is the ugliest, most lopsided thing ever...stay away.

That thing is hilarious! It's defiantly not worth a couple extra hours.

I have it and I love it. It doesn't look as bad as it does in photos and I no longer feel like the phone is going to slip out of my hand.

Have you noticed a significant increase in up-time though? The thing holding me back is that the factory battery is 1500mAh, the extended is 2200mAh. That seems like a negligible increase to me, and I'm apt to wait for a Seidio 3500mAh or something so that it is at least a double...
I'll admit, though, I know nothing about battery numbers/ratings so maybe there's some sort of non-1:1 factoring where 700mAh more isn't really less than half an increase in up-time?

dang id only use it on extended trips without a charger

id rather have a extra battery kit they sell than the extended battery. That thing is horrible

My facinate already lasts a few days anyways so I don't see a point.

My work paid for mine so it is the best battery and cover ever lol! Yes its thick but the rounded corners make it easy to get in and out of your pocket. Its nice not having to worry about charging your phone all the time. Just my 2 cents...

I also ordered 2 1500mah batteries on ebay for $9.96 shipped with a charger from the same company I ordered batteries from for my Incredible. They are cheap and work perfectly...

I bought the extended battery for mine and couldn't be happier. I personally found the stock phone too thin and too light personally. I like the feel in my hand much better when using the phone. Added bonus is the fact that when I set the phone down with the screen facing up my camera is now raised higher and less likely to touch my desk or whatever. Only complaint is its harder to hold the phone between my head and shoulder now when talking. Overall I highly suggest picking one up. Still have yet to see a case that will fit it though.

i got it also dont use it much but its not bad at all!! Lasts forver!!!

Lol, that thing makes the Fascinate look worse than the Droid X.
I found a remedy for my phone: dirrk's LV 1250 voodoo kernel + superpower app + conservative mode setcpu = win. Now my phone lasts a whole 12hrs compared to 3 with heavy use. Standby time is also improved.

Digital Energy Extended Battery for Infuse 4g

So I went into work today and saw that we had receiving a shipment of extended batteries for the Infuse. I decided to purchase the battery for my phone since I was planning on buying a backup one anyway. Needless to say, the battery is larger than the original, much larger. It comes with the back plate to replace the factory one for the extended battery. When I put it in it had 63% charge, I have been trying to drain this thing all night to get it to turn itself off from no charge, so I can fully recharge it. It has been 9 hours and 2% is left. I will update this once I fully charge it, and post the screen shot of the full drain stats.

Be sure to upload some comparison pictures for good measure

I have a previous one from the original bat. Will upload both at the time. Currently At 91% after full charge phone been off charger for six hours or so

I know Radio Shack sells Digital Energy. I haven't seen an Infuse extended battery there but I have seen one for the Rumor Touch :/

I purchased a 3500mAh extended battery from amazon a while back. It also came with back plate. It was $9.99 + $3 shipping. I get amazing battery life now. Roughly like this.....
Very light-light use: 2.5-3 days
Medium use: 1.5 days
VERY heavy use: 14-16 hours.
It was the best $13 i ever spent on this phone...
The original battery was more like this.....
VERY light use: 22-24 hours
Medium use: 8-10 hours
VERY Heavy use: 4-5 hours

I work at the Shack. And i get about 28 hours mild to heavy use. Wifi gps and brightness always on. Still trying to get a proper screen shot. should have it up today. And the entended battery is two times tthe size of the original. Adds about an inch of tthickness to back of phone. Also weighs slightly more illget the specifics soon. Dont expect to find a case to fit, there isnt one. you could cut a hole in a silicone case but i havent ttried it.

Just curious, what do you consider "mild to heavy" use? That's a pretty vague scale.
And also, i think your ruler is a little off . There is no way the back ADDS an inch of thickness. Even with the extended battery, the entire phone isn't even an inch.

I dont have a ruler. I am not advertising ffor the battery i am just offering my opinions. To be more specific it adds 2-3cm to the phone thickness.
Mild to heavy meaning using my gps wifi and no auto brightness a majority of the day. I use waze gps, stream music, have a live wallpaper, apps like voxer words with friends and hanging with friends several widgets that update.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I'm not trying to be an ass, but maybe you should get a ruler, because i promise you it doesn't "add" anywhere near 2-3 cm(1.1 inch). More like 2-3 mm.
And i won't debate your intent, but no one will ever buy and accessory for a phone today that adds the bulk you are claiming.
---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------
What i was suggesting was being more specific about your usage. Not being on auto brightness and having widgets and live wallpaper doesn't really tell us enough information to come to a conclusion. And saying mild to heavy usage is like saying... Some days I barely use my phone and other days i can't put it down, and in both situations i get 28 hours of battery life. There is no possible way whatsoever that you are getting 28 hours on HEAVY use. Sorry, it just won't happen. Mild use? yes, without a doubt, but not heavy.
I honestly don't think you are purposely trying to lie about a product that you sell. But my main concern is that others may see these claims and expect too much or not enough. I have the same battery and i know these claims aren't true.
Like i said, i have the same battery and back cover and my ENTIRE phone is only 0.56 inches thick, using a micrometer. I'm not sure where your EXTRA 2-3cm (1.1 inch) is coming from.
Don't take this as a personal attack, i know it must sound like it, but it's not. I just want people to be properly informed.

I found one at my work and confirm that it adds only around 4mm or so more to the thickness of the phone. I didn't see anyone post prices, sorry if I missed it.. But this battery is $55. Not sure if it's worth that much to me if you can't get a case for it.

I feel like the 1800 is going to meet my needs coupled with the original S4G battery for emergencies.

2800 mAh Battery!!!
If you're interested in a sturdy case to to go with that battery, you can order this one from Trident.

My bad... That's actually a 2800 mAh battery (so many threads about batteries, I'll just mention it here).

One thing i don't understand.
If you choose in the model SGS i9000 (which is the same size as SGS 4G) you get maximum 1850 mAh - so why we should use Epic 4G D710 model and SGS i9000 users can't ?

Good information, thanks for sharing.
1650 * 1.21 = 2000
Well, they should advertize battery as 2000mAh...

This battery works great! Makes the back cover fit extremely tight (you have to push down the side clips for them to clip in), but works great so far.
I should also mention that it makes the phone much heavier.

Can those with the batteries comment on the fit and the actual mah of the battery? I read the original thread and read people having problems with the fit and people reporting the battery to be an actual 1500 mah battery. Thanks.

Just got battery today.... Gonna post some pics. As other commented, the alignment of the contacts just a hair off, but works perfectly fine on my phone. Hard to take pics, but tried.the.best I could. Fit is good and the cover snaps firmly

Nope. When inserting the battery, it initially didn't turn on, but just slid it to the left and works fine. Lucky u guess. No cycles yet. Still on packaged charge for only about 30 min. Will check back the next few days. My reviews are based on my vibrant running ics tho.

Best battery available?

So ive been browsing the forums looking for a new battery. From what i see alot of people are using the galaxy nexus extended battery and the powerskin. My (noob) question is which is the best battery on the market as of today?

Also will the nexus 3800mAh work as well in the skyrocket like the 2100mAh did.

The 2100 maH Galaxy Nexus battery. It's posted all over the forum. About $19-21 at Amazon when it's in stock and they don't try to sneak you an 1850 maH battery like they did me, then tell me the 2100 was out of stock.
May or may not require modification for perfect fit. Fits fine for some, others (like me) had to shave a bit of stuff off the battery to get it to fit perfect.

K thanks, I'll make sure its in stock before they send me stock maH

No modifications are necessary, the battery comes with a new cover.
You do have to charge the phone completely (i let mine charge overnight), then wipe the battery status, then charge it again for at least an hour.

I use a Mugen standard size one. Maybe it's just the way I use it, but it seems to give me a few extra hours a day consistently. I almost never get an extended battery because no one ever seems to make decent protective cases for the phone with it mounted.

I can't say they're the best, or even that great, but I just bought 2 batteries and a charger for $10 on ebay. That way if my phone decides to die, I've got spares.

Just ordered the 2 Anker 2200mAh Li-ion Battery with charger set, should have em tomorrow. Right now I'm getting a full day with moderate usage. Battery seems pretty popular so should do well.

I get about a work day with moderate usage. Text, browsing, tapatalk and about 15 mins of tethering. Mostly text.
About 8-10 hours.
A bigger battery would be convenient but ugly imo.

Wile that is awesome you have a battery that works for you, everyone uses there phone different, for instance i noticed that your screen didn't appear to be on for as long as mine, and you seem to have much better signal in your area than i do in mine. Wile the 2100 may work well for you, with the location and the way i use my phones, i have to have the bigger battery. It's great to see what the 2100 is capable of.
I'll end up getting one of those for my Fiancee, as she needs to be able to use an otterbox case.

Will be interesting to see how this performs.

Already ordered mine. Cant wait to test this out. With my usage habits, the max screen-on time I was able to get out of my OEM battery was bit over 5 hrs (autobrightness). Let's see how much more time this ZeroLemon can add.

Isn't the stock one around 2700amh, why bother?

2600 mah. And 400 mah makes a difference to a power user. Could be like an extra hour of screen on time.

I get the same battery life as you and it practically lasts me the whole day and then some. The Zerolemon will probably give an extra hour or so screen on time assuming the mAh rating is correct.

I bought it primarily as an oem-sized backup battery. Instead of buying OEM, I'm just buying from ZeroLemon. I already have zerolemon's 7500mah for long hauls.

I'll probably wait for the official samsung extended battery. It's always good, NFC and marginally thicker.

i'll be curious to hear how they hold up charge length wise to the oem batteries once people have had a chance to charge/discharge them for awhile. Hopefully it will be good.

Any way to get this in the UK? Amazon.com's shipping costs are high and takes ages!

What thickness is this compared to stock battery? I looked around but didn't find anything.

Although I'll see how it is once I actually get it. I'll keep you guys posted for those that are hesitant to buy!

Just bought one as well. I love hte 7500mah extended battery, but if I'm ever in the slim mood, I'll surely turn to this over stock.
I've never used NFC and don't really plan on it.

I wonder why they don't include NFC? Maybe dropping it allows them to squeeze in more cells? Odd that they drop while most others include it.

I may pick one of these up to use with the OEM wireless charging cover...it has a built in NFC antenna.
But I will probably wait for six months and get some wear out of the stock battery.
