Hello
Im going to put a larger capacity battery in my Desire Z and I wanted some recommendations. Also, normal sizes (as in demensions); None that come with a additional cover to compensate for the normal size this making the phone bigger.
Ankers 1600mAh, lasts for me more than 2 days between charges. Got mine for a fiver off eBay, brand new.

Hi,
I'll also went with the Anker. 2 Days without charging even when using custom roms... Definetely a good choice for this Price!
riahc3, if you ask for advice, don't argue about there being higher capacity batteries, if you want the mugen go get it, but if you asked advice in the first place then don't get annoyed when people don't give you the answer you want to hear. Sorry, that's just the way I see it.
If you're after numbers rather than advice, take both. Look at my screenies, yeah I know I'm a light user, under clocked and had a sneaky charge in between but this was on CM10.1 build 15 which supposedly has battery problems, and as you can see I listened to music for a couple of hours as well. Also everyone else here has gotten at least 2 days between charge with Ankers.
battery info
I am also thinking about buying a new battery but I think that it doesn't matter how much mAh of the battery has. I think that real question is how will be after 6 months of usage. Most of these aftermarket batteries are start good but after few weeks or months they become useless. So we need real user feedback. Is there anyone who uses any of the aftermarket battery more than few months?
I've started to use JellyBaby v1.5 ROM and I've decided to buy new battery instead of new device.

I've been using the Mugen battery for over two years now. Still get good battery life, although playing games drains it pretty fast. I can last two full days if I try, but it's pushing it. One day is easy.
2 day is sufficient

I don't know about battery life of iPhone 5, S3, Note2, etc but I think that under normal circumstances battery life of our phones should be 2 days.
Do you use home-screen widget or lock screen widget? Does they have any effect on battery life?
aftermarket battery? you're better off getting a oem, a lot of aftermarkets don't live up to the levels they advertise.
I recommend the evo 4g design battery, it fits perfect in our devices at a whopping 1520 mah compared to stock's 1300mah
http://www.shopandroid.com/htc-1520mah-standard-battery/8A37A9232.htm
A 200 mah difference wont matter
But 3 times stock mah means something

The one review seems to be quite thorough. Seems to work fairly well. Not really sure if its worth $30 though. I got 2 1600 mah batteries and a battery charger for $9. So for a third of the price I can swap batteries and get 3X the battery life. Only downside is having to carry the other batteries around.

Can you report back to us about the battery. How long it lasts....
i ordered the 1800 mah battery from amazon and got it in the mail yesterday, and I'm actually pretty disappointed. It almost seems to have the same life as the stock battery. Drains fairly quick. I'm thinking about preordering the 4500 mah one.
So I see no reads the forum before making a thread that already been made.... Come on ppl can't you read utilize the search button before posting?

Not all extended batteries are a "rip off", and besides, how could we know without testing them? I think it's fine that someone made a thread to report on a specific battery that they purchased so that the rest of us can have some information on it. Thanks OP.

I beg to differ. For many many years I was against aftermarket anything unless it was a case. I was given an extended battery for my g2 and it fried my phone. Almost killed my replacement. Never again will I get am products.

Will do. I'll see how it performs over a few days of my typical usage -- a few phone calls, lots of texting, internet and more internet, a few rounds of Wheel of Fortune, more internet lol.
Best case scenario would be a few hours more battery life. After all, the advertised capacity is only 20% more than the OEM battery.

A battery can't be judged by a single usage cycle. You have have to cycle it a couple of times for it to get in the groove of charging and discharging properly But with that said, you won't really see all that much of a difference from 1500 mAh to 1800 mAh. You might squeeze in an extra hour or two through a days use, but not much more then that sadly

Tested with a computer voltage logger over multiple discharge cycles.
No, the OPs battery was not tested, but since NOT ONE after market battery has EVER lived up to its marking, its clearly delusional to think this battery may just be the one thats legitimate.
It's a profitable game for them and buyers are naive and want to believe in the magic.
A rip-off is selling a product fraudulently, regardless if it still has value.
Specifically, a battery that tests to be less that 5% of its stamped rating is a fraud.

Informative chart. Thanks for the link. I've used aftermarket batteries for other phones and have had anywhere from decent performance to one that wouldn't even last 5 hours lol. Not expecting stellar results from this one either, but I got it for only $15 so if it gives even a decent day's usage then it will be worth the $15.
I've used it for about 2 days so far and its been holding up okay. Waiting to see if its gets any better after a few discharge/charge cycles before I really make up my mind about it.

i ordered one from the uk on ebay, should be here around next week, also i ordered the 1900mah battery which is better than the one that comes with the phone
My experience with these extra-large batteries with alternative battery case, is that they last longer than the original battery for a few weeks/months then last much less to the original.. Soon enough wont even charge.. They have a very short life.
I had one for the N95 8gb years ago.. came also with the extra-space back-lid.. sticking with the official mAhs...
most are the same
i have bought many many batteries for my previous mobile phones
all of them had a good capacity for some weeks or little months
after 3 months last less than my original battery
that kind of capacity with that price is too good to be true
so even if you buy this one dont quckly say it is good
just wait for 2 months of use and then have a conclusion
hope it was helpful
I've had mine for over 6 months.... Still the best battery I own. Easily lasts a whole day of interneting and playing games. Only time it came to low battery was when I was using it to record several hours of 3D footage.
Only issue is the size and weight.....

I have the battery OP asks about. And your opinion is right. In the beginning it lasted a lot longer than the original. After a couple of months it was worse than the original and I have used the original battery since.
Hey Guys!
I just wanted to share my experiences about this battery I found. I bought it on amazon, and tested over a few days with BMW on.This battery had an estimated 2700 (!) mah (estimated by battery monitor widget after 5 charge/discharge cycles), and its real. I really tried to kill it fast with wifi hotspot,bluetooth on, while streaming video from youtube over 3g, and it lasted 4-5 hours ! This battery worth every penny of its price! So much win with this one! I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants a new battery!

I added a picture to the original post, please check it.
I have a Polarcell 1800 too, but this 2680 (produced by Ecell) is way more powerful!
Actually it looks like one of these fake batteries. Please test it for some more days and report back than - I'd appreciate that very much
These 'Golden Business Batteries' are something to be taken very carefully. I have one that was supposed to be a 1930 mAh one, but lasts way shorter than the stock 1500 mAh one.
That's why I'm saying. It's nearly impossible to get that big amount of capacity into such a small battery I'd say.
Look I would not suggest if it would be fake. I am using this battery for more than a month, and its real. I read those ****ty reviews about the 2430mah gold battery and others.. Just google it, you would not find any bad review from this 2680 mah battery, and its working like a charm. The reason the screenshot is just 5 cycle old is that I reflash my device almost every week becouse I am trying different ROMs, and I erase every data connected to the battery.
I just wanted to share my experiences, becouse I didnt find any review about these batteries. It is up to you if you are brave enough to buy one.
thanks for the review!!
So how Ia the battery holding up nowadays? Because im really dissapointed with getting a new galaxy s3 and its battery gets used uo so fast. If your going to get a smart phone they shiuld be smart and allow the customers to fully exhaust all its features. I hate apple but always had a iphone and the batery never let me down.

+1 to that! But you may also want to consider buying a cheap spare to carry with you in case you run out of juice sooner than you can get to a charger.
Also, be careful not to buy batteries that are manufactured more than a year ago. It is a known limitation of Lithium-Ion/Polimer based batteries (used in most phones/tablets these days) that their capacity diminishes over time. Even if they are not used, in a year or so they start to "go bad" and are almost completely crap after 2 years. You'll get maybe 70% of the rated capacity, and they won't hold the charge well at all. It's not a defect, just a downside of the technology. You can mitigate this by storing them at 40% charge in a cool place, but how many stores are actually going to do that?

I purchased the Anker 5200mAh battery a few months ago. Performance is great and I actually like the added bulk. I can easily get two days of battery with heavy use.
Anker 7800mAh. Best thing I bought so far. Makes your phone's weight similar to brick, but it's worth it. Lasts me 2 days.

I've been using ZeroLemon 3000mAh batteries for the last year or so. They're great. They add a tiny bit of bulk to the back of the phone, no big deal. You should know that they malfunction and deteriorate after like one year so you have to replace it then ASAP.
zerolemon 7500mah user here for a year now and this beast battery is still performing well...
heavy gaming ( clash of clans ) it gives me 13-15hrs Screentime...

Moderate usage no gaming data connection on ( when is need to check something ) off when not in use. roughly 2-2 1/2 days.

Back then i had 2 choices.
To buy a new original battery which i am not sure if im gonna recieve a legit original one or just another knockoff. ( same screentime 3-4hrs max )
Or to buy a zerolemon which will definitely give me a better screentime guaranteed
Using the ravpower 2800 mah battery. I don't think there's a huge difference, but it lasts longer than the OEM, obviously because it's newer, but Aldo because it has that extra 200mah.
Can't go wrong with this battery, and it's only $10, compared to the ridiculous prices they're charging for the OEM version. Also, way too many counterfeit batteries out there to order an OEM.

Still not sure about this thing...seems to be drainer faster the more I use it. Was charged to 100% the other morning, just sitting on my desk no use, dropped to below 60% by noon. Contacted seller , who suggested draining it completely then recharge. Will give it a few more tries, and return if it doesn't improve.
Popped my Anker back in yesterday, thing works like a boss.
