Seems these Epics also employ a Diode Bridge in the battery circuit as I got this one and it didn't have a battery, but I wanted to make sure it worked... I took a battery from a Stratosphere, which is too long and the contacts are on the wrong side, so I flipped it and shoved it in with some tape to hold it in! lol Powered right up! Though it didn't dawn on me till later that flipping it so the contacts would connect also resulted in the polarity being swapped Only other way it would work and not go up in a puff of smoke is with said bridge, which is a group of 4 diodes arranged in a way that regardless of the pins you connect to, + will re-reoute to + and - will to -. Same goes for the opposite, I charged my Epic batt in a Strat. lol
Anyways, I don't condone doing it, especially since I don't know if this is the reason this Epic won't charge (As-Is eBay buy with Bad ESN, did not come with a battery, hence me using a Strat's). BUT I'd be willing to bet that in a pinch, like an emergency situation, as long as the battery will make contact and you can keep it in place then it'll work fine.

I think what he's saying is if you had to flip the battery when putting it in the phone then the polarity is now reversed because the positive is on the negative terminal and vice versa. From my understanding this is bad because it damages the battery circuits.

As far as I know it shouldn't mess up the phone but it will shorten the battery life because of the extra stress on the battery.

I have an OEM 1800mah battery as well and it's goddamned adequate. I'm no legal expert but I'm pretty sure it should be a crime that the phone was released with only 1500mah.
just got my OEM 1800mah battery yesterday, so we'll see the results soon.. Plugged it in overnight and unplugged this morning before work.. so we'll see how it holds up by comparison..

I heard people saying that after a while the case was screwing up their battery by constantly connecting/disconnecting to it. This led to the battery being discharged even faster.
Can you confirm this? Do you keep the case on always or do you put it on only when your battery is dead or do you put it on then take it off when the case is dead?
I thought about it but that case is too thick for my taste.

It has an off/on button on the case.. when i tried it the phone just seemed to think it was plugged in.. was kinda cool and well made, but it doubles the thickness of the phone which was way too much for me.. returned it.
I like the feel of it..phone is almost to thin and it slips from my hands.

So its been a full week of testing this battery on my infuse and no lie its amazing. It last about 2x the original battery with full usage. Use as in playing game for 1hour and 30 mins= average 13% drain. Use of Facebook,YouTube, and generally anything that uses the web for about a good 6 hours(not in use every min) average 27% drain. Then next day still have a good amount to last me through the day. First day around 55-65% and second 49-2 or dead. Its really nice, infuse not as heavy(pretty much same weight). Case fit perfect, durable and nice feel to it.

Something like this?
http://www.amazon.com/Green-Externa...347898124&sr=8-9&keywords=3000+mah+power+bank
Looks pretty good, only $17.25
Assuming you want to carry something extra around, I guess there are two possibilities:
Option 1 - carry spare battery (charged to something like 80%... avoid 100% to extend battery life)
Disadvantage: Have to open up phone (always possibility to contaminate) to replace battery, possibly daily if that's your pattern. Might confuse your battery monitoring widget program and possibly the built-in battery %-remaining feature.
Advantages: In the time it takes to swap battery and boot back up, you're done.
Option 2 - carry a power bank which can charge your battery in a few hours.
Disadvantage - takes a few hours plugged in to get back. Doesn't really have much way to know how much juice is left other than LED when fully charged
Advantage - don't have to open up phone or reboot.
Thanks for the info. Since I did spend some money (a whole $8 on my 3500 mAh), I will try to get use to it rather than switching. Hopefully, someone comes up with a case.
However, that is an excellent idea with the battery power back up for when we lose power (happens more than I would like). Keeping one of them around would have some advanatages.
Edit: cheap ebay 3500 mAh is now draining faster than my regular battery. Might not need to worry about the case...

Hows the battery doing 5 days later?
I experienced a drain on the 3500 and the 1750 stock battery for several days. I had to switch ROM builds but didn't put the other battery back until last night. Right now it is plugged in so I will report back in a day or two.
Edit. Using it two days now and it drains as fast as the 1750. Will give it one more day then back to OEM and Bodyglove case.

Battery lasted one day running really well and the next day (after recharge) drained twice as fast. Went back to standard battery and am using this as a back up now. Very disappointed in the quality.
I tried one of these when I had a captivate and had the same issue. First charge was great but it got to where it lasted the same as the original battery. You have to go Anker or Mugen for descent quality batteries.
I might check it out. Thanks.

I just got in my 3500mAh battery from the ebay seller known as battery gallery, and at 1213; I still have 80% of my battery left, and I unplugged it from the charger at 0800 I consider this pretty impressive, but it's only day 1 of using the battery.
I wish you better luck then I had. First day was good, second day okay, third day someone pulled the plug on the drain. Drop very fast. Of course I could have just gotten a bad battery.

Works like a charm
I picked it up from Amazon, and needless to say the battery works like a charm.
Since I couldn't find any detailed information or pictures of the Laza 3800mAh Battery + Cover and the Laza Smooth Case so I decided to purchase them both for $40.47 on Amazon. Even though my phone is white and the back cover is black, it's unnoticeable once the case is on.
I cannot post links yet since I am a new user but I will post them in a bit. I have compiled a few images of the battery, cover, case, and phone. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them.
Here is a youtube video I recently made regarding the cover, case, and battery. Enjoy! (4/10/13)

Re: Zala 3800mAh Battery + Cover
I'm still in the process of testing it and documenting it. So far I get over 16 hours with more than 30% still remaining. You can easily get 24 with about 4 hours of screen time. You can even push it to 5 if you watch a movie. But I think spending that much time on your phone is unnecessary.

Re: Zala 3800mAh Battery + Cover
The first 2 pictures show the device always on WiFi. I easily got a day and a half with way over 7 hours of screen time. The next 2 pictures show the device with about 8 hours on 3g and a 2 hour phone call. This made the battery last only 18 hours but I still consider this a full day. Great battery, buy it if you don't think the stock one is good enough for you!

Thanks for your review though. I've ordered this setup as well, it comes in next week.
I think this tip posted by user 'hitekredneck' in another thread was so good it might as well be posted in here too. I've used this tip with the stock battery and I'm having a big improvement in how long it lasts. Running CM10.1
hitekredneck said:
No, I use nothing at all. Just best use practices and common sense. One more thing I might mention. After doing the overnight charge routine I always shut my phone completely down and let it sit for a minute or two before starting it back up. If you use CPU Spy to check deep sleep cycles you will see why. If I do not shut down as mentioned my phone will still go into deep sleep but not as consistently, nor for as long, as it does when I do the shut down and restart after charging. Also, when powering on, if you have to wait for more than 3 or 4 seconds holding the power button before feeling the device vibrate, pull the battery for 30 seconds, put it back in a try again. Deep sleep is never consistent for me when I have to hold the button down for 8-10 seconds before I feel the vibration signaling the startup sequence.

NFC laza
It was not commented on so I figure I would add my two cents in:
The Laza battery has a NFC coil in the back of the battery, just like the stock one. Some of the cheap extended batteries leave this feature out.
After testing the Stock Battery NFC coil vs the Laza Battery NFC coil I can confidently say:
There is no difference in pick up distance or read/write speed on a Type A (ISO/IEC 14443 type A) Mifare 1k chip ( same thing as a Samsung Tec-tile)
Yes and No
When I ordered my battery they were out of stock of the NFC batteries. So instead of waiting a month for them to ship the NFC battery I asked them to ship me a non-NFC battery. So sadly I don't have NFC capabilities =(.

I just saw this last night. Has anyone tried this case out yet? It looks intriguing. After adding the case, you're looking at about 4800 while keeping the slim design of the phone. Definitely an interesting concept.
Pelvic bump.
Surprised there's not more interest in this.

While battery cases are super cool, dont they like, kill the battery faster, since its always charging?

Yes.
The battery is being charged 24 hours a day. These cases kill the battery very fast by putting them under that kind of duress.

thats why you just turn off charging on the battery case. duh. But having a battery you can swap out anytime sorta kills this idea. So................... but for some reason i like the idea. weird.

This. You wouldn't switch on the charging when it's close to 95%. I turn it on when it's at 5% or less.
My Charging Case.
I don't have the exact same model but I do have a charging case and I love it. My battery would deplete quickly since I play music while working and emulators when I'm not. It can easily go 2 full days and a bit without touching a wall charger and almost 4 days if I don't play games or music. Your mileage may vary depending on what ROM you have running.

That's why you don't leave the charging on...the idea of a charging case is to be able to have a backup when your phone is low on battery. Obviously for a phone like the S4, it's not as sensible because you can just buy an extra battery and swap it. But it's still a cool concept.
