[Q] Extended battery for Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (3500mAh vs 4500mAh) - General Questions and Answers

Hello there,
I am new here. First off, I know there's already a thread about a 4500mAh battery, but I have further questions.
So, obviously I own a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 and decided to buy a larger capacity battery due to the fact that my phone doesn't last more than 1 day (I use a lot of applications, send many SMSs and also talk a lot). I thought about having a bigger battery because I also travel a lot and I don't have where to charge my phone very often.
Ok, back to the subject. I have found 2 kind of batteries on eBay. Here are the links:
ebay.co.uk/itm/4500mAh-High-Capacity-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S-I9000-with-Black-Back-Cover-/370768703601?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5653897071
and
ebay.co.uk/itm/190735226724?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648
4500mAh = 10 pounds (shipping included)
3500mAh = 4,38 pounds (shipping included)
I must admit that numbers fool me. Even though the 4500mAh battery is 2,5x more expensive, I still feel like buying that one instead of 2x or 3x 3500mAh (this way I would also have spare backcovers). The thing is that I've read that the 4500mAh might be fake, while the 3500mAh are 2x 1500 mAh batteries glued together which are not very good. Therefore, before purchasing any of the two, I need some advises. So, please enlighten me which one is better or/and which one should I choose.
P.S: I've seen some 5000+ mAh external charger too, but I am not really interested in it. I'd rather carry with me 1 or 2 more batteries with me.
Any answer would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you in advance and sorry if I posted this on the wrong section.

bump -.-

I can't believe this.. really.. nobody can give me any advice? -.-

best battery for tornado?

I'm looking for batterys on ebay (mine is Qtek 8310, I supose it has the same battery that tornado). Not too much trust in 2200 mAh batteries. Has someone tested them?
I think the best choice is this one
http://cgi.ebay.es/Battery-for-HTC-...ryZ75446QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Thanks!
I usually use a car battery strapped to my back. Sure it's a little heavy, but I pick up lots of chicks because of it.
I expect to receive a 2200 mAh battery these days (GPS-usage drains my standard 1100 mAh battery quite quickly), after testing I'll post my experiences.

Plz, plz post a picture - best the one with the extra entenna on your hat!
No - seriously, if you don't get the original spare (for much more $) I think you can take anything from ebay for that little money. I see you choosed one with all the overheating, short circuit, etc. protection - can't be wrong if it is true.

lol @thecraze
well purchased a battery from an HTC service centre (Maxell 1050 mah ).. i asked for a battery at i-mates service centre .. they gave me " CelXpert " (1150 mah ).. it is made in Taiwan..
I bought it for my i-mate sp5m.. lol
Hi,
I actually have a 2200mah battery to sell, was going to put it on ebay tomorrow but I can do a straight paypal transaction if your interested. I got 3 batterys with my tornado and I really dont need them. I have 1 standard battery as well if anyone is interested. Both work fine, I tested them all fully before leaving feedback for the person I bought the mobile from

Do you also sell a cover fitting for an i-mate SP5/Qtek8310 ?

2400mAh extended battery

I think this is just a placeholder, but good to know they'll be coming ...
http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-63756.html
Good price, but as much as I would like the extra time, this thing is bound to look very, very ugly. But I would love to be wrong.
i'm willing to try it out if they are really available
however that website looks rather dodgy, i'll much rather pick one up from ebay than from then.
there are a lot of bad stuff in ebay, but there are also good ones if you know how to look.
if the 2400mAh starts popping out on ebay, then you know it's real, but for now the only ones listed on ebay are just the regular 1500mAh
lol the phone looks ugly with it...
buying the galaxy s because it is less than 1cm big and extending the battery so it become 2cm big ....
yep, I definitely wouldn't order from that website - but makes me wonder if they already know the likes of Mugen or Seidio are going to produce a 2400mAh version.
phone getting ugly is price paid for doubling/tripling battery life. so long as it remains comfortable in the hand and fits in my pocket i'm mostly looking at the screen on the SGS anyway ...
i'll rather 2 extra battery packs to keep the phone in its normal size instead.
if you wear jeans or carry a briefcase/backpack, 2 small batteries can fit anywhere.
even if you are on a date, you can slip 1 in in your front pocket
looks like samsung added a bunch of accessories for the galaxy and vibrant to their accessories page
here's one for that desk charging dock w/spare battery (battery included) for $50
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...ype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&returnurl=
You're right, looks like they've even added new back panels that'll fit the Galaxy S! Looks promising.

Daymm 5000 :|.
there is another model with 2000mAh, cheaper
i don't think those are compatible with the SGS i9000
There are not spare batteries, more something like portable wireless chargers... You can connect your usb-microusb to that and it will recharge your phone...
In the past ten years I have always seen business men have either two phones, or an extra battery or two. Mind you, original batteries are the only way to go. Second-rate Class-A batteries tend to lost proper functionality within 3-6 months of constant use. Also factor in the explosion ratio.

Hi, first post on xda, gotta say great forum for android devices. Anybody got any news on extended batteries, want to get my hands on a 3000+mah. Checked google but nothing at all regarding batteries for the SGS.
Thanks.
they are none out yet, of all the ones i've found are only 1500mAh

[Q] Anyone Tried This? - Replacement Battery

Hey Guys
I'm having some quite bad battery life with my DHD and I was looking into getting a bigger capacity battery.
I found this:
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/standard-battery-for-htc-desire-hd1600mah-p-3411.html?language=en
It is 1600 mAh and on paper looks promising and before I just wanted to check has anyone ordered this and had successful results with this battery and the seller or is it just a fail?
Thanks
Patrick
Found one while browsing around for a replacement for my DHD too.
Can't post links yet, but if you go to a site called evertop ending in a .co.uk and search for 35H00141-02M, you will find one with 1550mAH rating.
There are a few of these replacement ones claiming higher capacity, but one has to be cautious about these things mate.
Would love to find a genuinely reliable replacement one, although I must admit, if you haven't tried it already, there is a thread around which has a tip to charge the DHD in a certain way - seems to have worked for me upto certain extent - have managed to go over 24h without the need to charge with moderate use.
Hi I am a new member here. I also read somewhere about a mugen battery. haven't been able to order yet. I recently bought an external 5000mAh battery (USB charging) I can charge my DHD approximately 4 times before recharging the external battery.
just wanted to share an alternative to extended batteries that need to replace your battery cover.
a 5000mAh? holy ****...
EXTERNAL
the ones, which you connect to your usb port and charge the phone's battery
i wouldn't buy another internal one than the original.
battery's can be really dangerous..no chance to buy one from china or so..just my 2 cents.

These are the same as ones you can get from ebay.

Take extra precaution to this company. They will send you counterfeit goods no matter what if they think you are incapable of fighting back (say, living too far away).
My friend has been scammed once, and he went through all the complain channel in UK online in vain. It seems that UK's Government has no intention to stop online scammers that are active in their own countries. That was really an awkward discovery.
So be very careful.
I still don't get why people consider battery life as extremely important for phones that have easy to remove batteries...
They arent too expensive, ($3 on ebay for a 1600 mah fake, $15 for a genuine 1230) and its not exactly that hard to keep a few on you.
External batteries are also another option, but they usually use more space than internal ones (and they also require a cable).

but external can hold ALOT more AND plug into various devices
I would definitely recommend an external powerpack. I have a New Trent 5500mah pack, and it indeed gives 2-3 recharges, in a form factor slightly smaller than the DHD.
The only battery which is not fake, is the Mugen, coming in at 1500mah. It's not a huge improvement, but many say it's the difference between running out of juice mid-evening, and making it through to the night and the power cord.
Search for Mugen in this forum, all the details are there.
Or look for NewTrent on Amazon for example. The price varies (and they have bigger models too).
Avoid ALL OTHER "high capacity" batteries

You are right, batteries aren't expensive nowaday.
I recommend using genuine where possible. Fake/replacement/counterfeit batteries return bogus charging level to the devices, and that would result in pre-mature shutdown which would damage mobile devices.

evertop co uk is a well-known scammer. You should have looked up uk's ripoff list (forgot the full name of this website, you could search) and you can find it listed top 10 or something.
UK is hoarded with scammers like that, because their government just don't give a dime of what their people do on the internet.

Hi Guys,
I cannot put links yet, but search for "2430MAH HIGH CAPACITY BAS470 GOLD BATTERY FOR DESIRE HD" on Ebay. Got it yesterday, so far so good, looks like it lasts more than the stock one...
It says "Made in Japan" but im not sure about this
Did anyone else tried this one?

2430MAH? i don't think it is even possible to fit that much cell into the DHD battery size, i'm currently on the mugen 1500MAH battery, it is slightly better then the stock battery, would recommend that

- Ive been a little worried about this as I have a cheap one from China which came in an accessory pack, which by the way sucked. everything has just fallen apart. but the battery, which I rely on heavily as a backup, seems to have a better life than the original odly enough, dunno what's up with that. afraid it may leak or output higher charges and fry my phone?

MOMAX X-Level batteries

As the title says... this topic is going to be about MOMAX X-Level batteries (for the Desire HD, of course). I stumbled upon this item back when I was looking for a battery replacement for my old Desire (didn't get one, just a crappy solar battery which was not holding 2600 mAh, as stated, but barely 800).
So anyway. I found THIS topic while I was searching on Google... for this. I was kind of hoping there was a thread like that for the Desire HD community as well, but, sadly, there isn't.
So... is there anyone here having that battery? Is it any good? Cause on the HD2 thread, everybody seems to be extremely happy about it.
I'm going to replace my battery soon enough, because this 1230 mAh baby... is cripled or something. Even though the MOMAX X-Level battery is of 1150 mAh, people on the HD2 thread still give good feedback, like this battery is god-like.
I'm not going to buy an original HTC one, simply because it's $5 more expensive, and I could use that money, especially if the difference is only of 80 mAh. Also, I have reasons to believe that MOMAX battery is better.
I've had screen protectors and hard cases from MOMAX. They have NOT dissapointed me. X)
I'm going to pay the extra 4 bucks and get an original HTC battery instead of this MOMAX one, due to the lack of warranty it offers.
Still... if there are people that use this battery on this device, I would like to hear some feedback...
i believe amazon has better and bigger batteries than this one and people have reported positive feedback about them
here although this battery seems to be 1500mAh and people have reported that this one lasted 1/3 longer than the original one...i would say this should definitely be considered.
http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1272&T=1
this one?
since it's only got 20mAh more than stock (and thats only on paper!), i'd also suggest you stick with the original from htc.

No, the 1150 mAh one. I can't get the 1250 mAh in my country, yet.
Anyway, I'll stick to the original one. I trust HTC more than MOMAX, at least when it comes to batteries. MOMAX still does good hard cases & screen protectors, though, but I'd say that's the one & ONLY thing they're very good at.

That's the problem, I can't. The only one I trust, besides OEM, would be Momax. And all those batteries with stuffed capacity... are reported to not last much longer.
Anyway, I got an original one (HTC). I'll see how it performs... after I format it for 3 times -.-

Cheap 3000 mAh battery

Hello
On ebay i see them very often but havnt found any review of them.
Clicky here
They claim to be 3000 mAh but are also the cheapest. (2.80 euros so about 3.65 dollar or 2.40 pounds)
And all of them say galaxy s4 i9500 but i read everywhere that i9500 and i9505 have the same battery?
Would be awsome if i can get some info or revies about this item.
Thank you for your time and info

It's not actually 3000 mAh. It won't last as much as the stock battery, you can be sure of that. If you're lucky it gets close to stock, and it's no more than a decent replacement battery.
The only real known 3000 mAh battery is the ZeroLemon one, which sacrifices NFC and has a slight bulge on the back cover (but does fit properly).
Okay
Thanks, i dont understand how they are allowed to just lie like that.
But even if it is about same strenght as stock or a bit less for the price its still very good.
I just want a battery for when mine runs out and i'm not able to charge.
But i also get a bit afraid that it might damage the device or something.
So as a "smaller capacity" backup this would do ? or might it cause some damage?
Thanks again.
I had the same question a while ago... I would just invest a little more and buy the ZeroLemon one, then use stock one as replacement. It's well worth the extra money.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZeroLemon-S..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item43bd602f7a
But if you insist, that one you showed will do good as a backup battery, just use it if you run out and need a replacement right away.

Ok thank you very much.
I think i will buy it then because it will be as a last reserve.
Aready threw away a lot bloatware and startup items so my battery life is pretty good atm and most of the time i will be able to charge it.
I was kinda looking for a battery + external charger for a cheap combo deal but dont seem to find any.
And it even harder to find a european charger

Yeah it should be the same one as he mentioned.
But amazon is not good for everybody.
For me by example.
I live in belgium and we dont have a amazon site we have to go to the french, german or UK site .
But yeah chances are big we pay a lot shipping costs.
If i order from amazon i have to pay around 5 dollars per item or something for shipping alone.
I bought a 3 pack of these along with a charger for $14 USD and they work well but aren't as long lasting as the stock battery. Still plenty great to keep on me. They are great and ensure I never need to be tethered to a wall like an iPhone user. I have gotten between 4 (when in bad reception and lots of camera use) and 18 hours out of the aftermarket batteries.
The one show selling by ts is probably Power brand. Most of these after market is much less than 2600mah, some even less than 2000 mah. Try buying established brands such as Anker or Zerolemon and you will be fine.

I recommend that.
But I would only get it from Amazon or some other site that has a better chance of having original samsung products and not fakes.
Most 3rd party battery makers, seidio, etc have been tested to be really at 80-90% of their true mah listing.
Not sure why that is the case.
1 day and 07 minutes with 3% left on the stock battery. This phone is amazing. I have it rooted on the Verizon ME7 Stock configuration and have most of the Verizon Bloatware frozen. I've even used it quite a bit during that time on Facebook, taking a few pictures, playing games, texting, making numerous phone calls and checking email using either WiFi or Mobile Data connectivity. :good:
I previously had the S3 and it didn't even come close to half this life.
