which battery?

There are now like 5 extended batteries for the sensation.... which is most reliable. There are 2-3 1900mAh, one 1800 and one 2400mAh.... What is best and actually gives the biggest bump?

Anker 1900, for $10 wins have gotten excellent reviews on that thread
I would say the Chitech is also good but those are $20 and prob have the same performance as the Anker

Go with the Anker it has the most positive reviews I have one and I love it

I ordered the Chitech mainly for reputation and it has gotten good reviews as well. I don't mind paying an extra $8 (got 20% off with the OFF10 code) for reliability.

I ordered the Anker. Heard better reviews on it. So i went with my first instinct.

I like that Chitec is a little thicker than the OEM battery. This means the back cover will squeak less (I have stuck a piece of paper in there now ).
Is this also the case with Anker?

The Anker is the same way. It weighs 34.4 grams instead of the stock battery's 31.54 grams

First day using the Anker. Loving it so far!

I ordered the Anker as well after reading all the great reviews. I should be getting it tomorrow or Thursday!

Got Chitech and it works great.

try the yoobao 1700mAh!
36 hours of power with moderate usage!
4 hours of wifi
calls,3g and DATA on....
very glad to buy this model!!!!!!!

Got a chichitec and its awesome. Also picked up an anker. Just started using it this morning. I bet it will be the same deal as the chichi. Feels like the same battery with a different label wrapped around it.

Thanks for the heads up dude, I'm definitely going for a Chitech one. It looks cool to me.

Chichitec rocks socks.
I completely discharged , then charged in the wall charger 3x. Then I kept it in the phone the next cycle, overnight, and the thing took off ever since.
I've been getting a full days use with, normal for me use, where im usually dying by 5 or 6 pm I'm now left with battery to spare when I go to bed between 10-12.
I unplug in the morning around 7 am.
Couldn't be happier, and for a normal day I wont need a spare. :-D

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...

I bought these off ebay and they came with a charger for $12. 3 months no problems.

Edit: After all we are nearing Christmas. The Supplier could be backed up with other orders and just didn't get to you yet.

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.

Amazon doesn't have these batteries. They have other cheaper batteries all had bad reviews and all batteries come from hong Kong. After looking around I just said no thanks. Batteries are holding up nice by the way and work great.

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.

[Q] Recommend battery to buy

Hi, I need to get a second battery for the G2x, I thought I should ask people here which ones you've bought over eBay (since I don't want things exploding in my face). Not the bulky batteries, the normal ones.

there's a bunch of talk in the accessories department http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1116

What I did was I got 2 batteries and an external charger from ebay for about 12 bucks and never had a problem with them.

experience of using Onite Battery for my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500

Last month I bought a new brand Onite battery for my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500.I must say this has been a good battery. I have used it for about a month now; I am on the phone all day, usually over 4 hours of screen time, and the battery is rarely below 70% in the end. It is not like my stock battery only last less a day.

wow, It seems good.

Thanks for your information.
I agree with you. Extended battery is so thick.
I am eyeing their 2600mAh battery with NFC on another listing.
Share your purchase when you got it.
I would like to buy it if it works great.

Onite battery from amazon
I bought it from amazon. It is a brand called "Onite", you search "Onite battery" in amazon, then you will find serials of batteries.

I got Onite battery last month
Compared with my original one, it works one day longer. The charger came together with the batteries is a specific one for Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500. They are all works smoothly recently.

I got the Onite S4 battery today and just started charging my battery. It's been on for about six hours and still shows charging.
I'm concerned if they have a higher amp charger for the s4 battery .Then I contacted the customer service and they explain that the low current will not hurt the battery life.
Moreover, they also introduce a new charger which is 600mAh, I have bought a new charger, will update it later.

I too bought the onite 2 pack with charger on Amazon. Everything works great, I just wish they would label the batteries NFC or non-NFC so that I knew what i had. The ones i bought said NFC in the order, but the batteries are not marked from what i can see.

Was there a bulge on the back?

Great batteries that last long!!!

Hey there, no bulge for me, and I'm using the 2600mAh ones. I too was concerned about whether or not there would be a bulge because of reviews I read about the Anker ones being a tad bit thicker than the OEMs, so that's why I went with the Onite ones, and from my experience you don't have to worry about bulging with these. They last pretty long too. I charged mine, then let them drain so that I could charge them again, and it took almost 17 hours after just one charge, and that's with heavy use all day.

yeah, the 2600mah Onite battery is a good chioce. one friend suggests it to me and I bought one .

Yeah okay mate. As if a battery which claims to have the same rating as stock (which I doubt) can last a day longer. I was considering buying a couple to test and discredit you but I don't really think I need to now. That utterly ridiculous statement has made you look untrustworthy enough I'd say, and I don't want to give you a single cent.
You have a post count of 5 and it's petty obvious you are a spam account set up to promote your batteries. There are also several other posters in this thread with low post counts who, coincidently, only post in battery threads to either recommend onite batteries or discredit other brands. In fact there are more suspect posters than legit ones in this craptastic thread.
If the product were any good you wouldn't have to resort to such underhanded marketing techniques as creating multiple accounts just to spam and mislead people.
Please folks, BEWARE!

Guys stay away from onite. This Sophia Chan is a salesman of Onite just look at her profile. Onites battery is actually a stock battery people take stickers off of the so called extended battery and did further looking and foumd it was 3100 mah for our note 2 and so on.

Spare batteries

So im looking for a spare battery to use, what would you guys recommend? I read some good reviews about the anker battery but i dont like how its bigger and it makes the back bulge. Ive seen some ebay OEM batteries for a good price and also found these for extremely cheap http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-3000mAh..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item51aae2b2ed
Now i know these probably wont last as long as the oem battery but my question is is there any downside or long term damage that can occur to the phone itself by using these sub par batteries?

I'm also in the market for spare batteries + wall charger.. I had 3 for my old HTC Incredible, and it was an absolute luxury. However, I had to try 2 or 3 different companies before I found some that didn't lose their capacity

3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh
99% of the batteries on ebay seem to come from China/Hong Kong and these come from nanuet ny.
I don't know why I mention this but it did play a part in my deciding on these
If they suck, I'll have wasted $11 and I'll go ahead and order the onite or anker batteries
I'll let everyone know after I receive them

I bought the ones off of OP's link to Ebay as well. I'll post with impressions once I get them in. 3 batteries and a wall charger for $12 is nearly too good to be true... but I'm only out $12. We'll see.
