Extended Battery

For users who purchased the extended battery (2200mah), how much bigger (physical size) is it then the 1500mah default battery?

2200 mAh is actually a fairly nice battery. My Droid X extended battery is only 1930 mAh but i get ~13-17 hours of battery life and the X has a huge LCD display. I could only imagine what the Fascinate would get with that big a battery and Super AMOLED haha.

The word according to a bunch of tests is the Droid X has the best battery life, about 3 hours than the SGS line on a single charge. On average with my Epic I'm getting about 12 hours without recharge, so a 2200 mAh battery should go roughly 18 hours. Again, mileage will vary from user to user. I do what I would consider is around heavy usage.

Just traded Droid X in for Fascinate and had the extended battery for the X. They gave me the extended battery as an even exchange for the SGS and I am seriously considering returning the thing. It is Ginormous and makes the phone look disgusting. The X's extended battery at least kept the phone looking good.

i'm very curious about the extended battery and the cover that comes with it. could you post a pic of the phone with them installed, plz?

The thing is huge.

Hmmmm makes he think twice about it now... I can't go twelve hours on standby without the phone going completely dead. The battery life I'm getting is the worst ever. How can it die so fast when its not being used at all?

I'd rather carry an extra stock battery, then deal with that.

With the extended battery in.... It looks like the phone is pregnant, lol.

Not sure what's up with yours, but mine gets fantastic battery life. Full charge at 8am and I go a day and a half with moderate-to-heavy call/text/game/web use. I'm extremely impressed with the battery life. My girlfriend hardly uses her's except for web browsing on lunch, and she almost squeezes 3 days out of it!

[Q] 2200mah slim battery

I came across this 2200mAh battery listings on eBay while searching for replacement (additional) battery.
Did anyone try this 2200mah battery?

Looks sketchy, I've only seen a 1900mah battery on ebay and even then it was probably an exaggeration. It's only six bucks w/ free shipping, take one for the team, try it out and let us know

Looks really interesting... Im curious, 6 bucks wont hurt to hopefully finding the cure this phone dying fast!!

Never heard of it before now. I love my girl too much to drop a new battery in her like that.
Incipio has a battery extender for $60. I *may* go that route if I start having significant batt problems.
Let me know how the 2200 turns out though.

I already took two of these for the team. So far I only intended them as back ups. When I did use one it was right after a rom flash and while I did not see any better battery time, I also didn't see any worse. I plan on running one this week now that my battery use is more settled. FWIW, they do feel heavier in your hand.....how much should a MaH weigh anyway?

as long as this 2200mah provides similar or better than original Samsung 1750mah I will buy one as backup.

I was actually debating between that one and the 1900mah http://www.ebay.com/itm/160632602166?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I went with the 1900mah, mainly because I didn't want to wait for this to come from Hong Kong. I noticed the 1900 lasts about an hour to hour and a half more than stock battery with the Infused ROM. When I first flashed Infused it was seriously drained both stock and the 1900 in less than 5 hours. Once it settled I got about 7.5 to 8 hours out of it on the 1900. I never had a ROM needing to settle so much, but I guess that was part of it. One thing I did notice is that 1900 charged noticeably faster than stock.

I went with this one. I will report back once I get it on my hands.

You can get a 2 pack + battery charger on amazon for $14. They are branded as "hyperion". They are 1800s and I get great battery life with them.

its worth it for me cause i can get through the workday without charging now. they are relatively inexpensive unless you opt for the 3800mah. so yes, it's worth it

I lost one of my spare batteries today during my frantic search for the courthouse phone number. 5 minutes of searching got me 2 1800s for $7.98 shipped. They are awesome, especially for the price.

What Roms are you guys running.
I am running the Doctorz V8 Rom, and even with watching several episodes of Futurama on Netflix, with Pandora while patrolling, I still get 15 hours + on my phone.
Stock battery too.

Miui ftw. Doctorz gave me the worst experience out of all the roms I tried. I typically get 27ish hours on this rom with no mods or battery savers. That is with a LOT of sms, some mms, some phone calls, plenty of pandora, and the occasional photos. When I use my phone heavily I get 15+ hours. That's heavy phone usage, lots of games, etc.

where to get it online ???

I just bought Anker brand batteries for my Captivate and it works great. Get at least 30% more life than oem and it was only $20 for 2 with a charger. Was contemplating getting their battery for my wifes Infuse. It's only $12.99. I'd definitely look at it if you want more battery life for a low cost.

1800 mAh batteries from Hyperion

Ive had these batteries for about a month and a half. For $20 you get two batteries and a wall charger. Not a bad deal for two batteries that are supposed to last longer than stock however, they do not last longer than stock. I get about 20% less time out of these batteries than my stock LG. I don't regret my purchase though because they are still useful in the sense that you don't have to ever plug your phone in, you can just swap out batteries... all in all not a bad deal for what you get you're just not getting what they advertised which is more time on a single battery.

Thanks for the review, but i prefer my 3500mah which lasts usually 12-16 hours and i hate swapping batteries constantly.

I get like 15 hours of good usage (for me atleast) with the stock battery

Battery life varies on everyone man, i got about 3-4 hours on stock battery with 600 apps installed. 3500mah i get 12-16 i'm content with that. Doubt you would get the same battery life if you used your G2x like i did ;-)

Yeah I don't really like swapping batteries constantly either. I've just been using stock batt. and keep the 3rd partied "just in case". I would like to use extended batteries but I dont like having the huge back. Hopefully someone will make a Li-Po for this phone.

I'm still quite surprised as to how you get less battery life with this battery thank with stock. Still, $20 for two batteries and a charger is a pretty good deal. I think I'll go for it, too.

Stock battery is usually as advertised for mah (1500), while aftermarket ones generally overstate their capacity. I have the andida 1980mah one and it's not much better than stock. It's not a dud either though, so I'm pretty happy with it.

I make it through the day on stock. That's what matters to me. So anywhere from 9-24+ hours, depending on the day. Except on slow days at work, then I might have to charge halfway through my shift, but there's always outlets available at work.

After installing weapon g2x with faux kernel and setting my max cpu speed to 503mhz, I'm averaging 30 + hours on stock, though that is very limited use. And if I turn wifi on its just starts draining....

I have had the hyperion batteries for about 3 months. They are decent but they lose capacity fast. Meaning they hold less and less over time. But at least they work i guess.

i think battery life is awesome on this phone, Ive never had such good battery life with any other smartphone..
I dont think it needs extended battery.
I think HTC actually tried to eliminate battery drain before making a non removable battery.

I second that, getting great battery usage.

There will always be people who want an extended battery, but its really not needed unless you are using your phone to make 50 pho.e calls in a day or you play 3 hours of games. most people will be more than happy with the battery life provided by the One S.

no need for a Extended Battery here, where would the battery go if there was one

If you are in bad cell coverage (which eats more juice) or are a heavy user, pray god invest a few bucks into a Gumpack external battery. That thing is half the size if a pack of cigs and stores enough juice for 2-3 full recharges on the go. Its one little more gadget to toss into your daypack and remember to keep charged but its well worth the bother. Certainly easier than speculating about a bigger battery while batt life is fine for most users.
And I am not bashing, if you have a 1.5h commute to work and spend it playing GTA3 i can see where the juice goes. So a gumpack battery would be your best approach, with the current 28nm Krait architecture there is not a lot to gain batterywise really. Plus, the AMOLED sucks less juice on dark images, something to keep in mind when picking a background image I think.

Highest Capacity Battery That Fits Stock Case?

My Thunderbolt's battery life has started to decline fairly signficantly over the last month or so (no new ROM or apps to my knowledge). I've had it for over a year and a half, and I have used it extensively so I'm guessing it's just normal charge capacity reduction over time. I am wondering what's the highest capacity battery (in mAh) that's available which fits the stock case? The stock battery at 1400mAh seems like it's fairly low for the size of the battery, so I'm hoping there's newer/aftermarket ones available which fit the stock case (the phone's big enough) and adds some battery life.

The rezound battery is higher capacity and fits perfectly.

Cool, I thought I had read it does fit, but I wanted to be sure before I placed an order.

mugen makes a 1900 mAH extended rezound battery that will fit the bolt's stock battery door. AFAIK, 1900 mAH is the largest capacity that will fit without adding the bulk of the extended door.

Nice. What's that cost?

it can likely be found cheaper on ebay. i have a friend that uses it. his battery stats don't report correctly, but he says it works well. i prefer the seidio extended thunderbolt battery myself, i don't mind the bulk.

I went ahead and bought a 3500 mAh battery and used an extended case, and I get a full 24 hours without use and with use like 12 hours, I will be replacing this phone with something else asap.

Thats what i keep running in to! Buy bigger batterys and get the same usage out of them as I did with a stock one....
Done the same think on EVO 4G, EVO 3D, and the Thunderbolt...
So I just keep the stock battery Running LS 3.2 on the thunderbolt and can get 1 1/2 days out of mine but I have full 4G LTE signal all the time.

I Have the Seidio 3300 fits STD. Oversize case last All day... Don't know about stat reset but a Full charge & let it go to off & recharge full gives me 12-16 hrs heavy use..which is acceptable... I can burn a stock one to 0. In 3-4 hrs... Good luck!

I use the Rezound standard battery in my T-Bolt gives me all day juice unless I'm really heavy using. I love the fact that I don't have to use the extended battery / case door is awesome. If I'm going to be out and about away from power I just throw the extended on there.

+1 for Rezound battery. I'm actually happy with battery life of my Thunderbolt with it. Just needs ICS.
