Hi I'm here today to inform everyone that if you buy an extended battery from eBay, do not buy any that are white, orange, and yellow only buy the black ones that look like a bug stock battery, as the others are not the mah that is stated or they are and go bad quickly, I have bought both types and the black ones maybe only 3500 whereas the others maybe more but the black ones have much better battery life, especially on Scotts jb ROMs (cm10.1) and beanstalk
Just thought I'd state this to maybe save some people some money and annoyance

I have gotten the black double-size batteries in the past with some success, mostly due to the fact that the batteries WILL and DO go bad over time.
I contacted the seller in both cases (one for my Infuse, the other for a Galaxy Nexus), and the seller was quick to send out a replacement, no questions asked.
So, adding to this OP, be cautious of ANY battery you purchase for ANY device over a year old, as these batteries could have been on a shelf for 2 years and "dried up" from age.

On a related note, sort of an update...
I purchased one of the cells as referenced in the OP and, after a couple of days of leveling, I think it's coming around. I'm gonna watch it for 2 more days and report back.
Okay, so with a bit of knowledge I've gleaned over the years, I made my own extended battery with 2 cells from 2 stock batteries.
The one I ordered ended up failing so I contracted the seller who promptly sent the replacement within a day. I have yet to cycle the battery and test it, but the one I made is better than the one I gave the old lady. I can't post pics with the mobile app yet, but when I can I will. I average 14 hours of moderate use per day and still go home with 40+ %.

very interesting would love to see it and i think it would be great to have a little tutorial on how to do that for those who have the parts and dont want to buy from ebay
Test pic upload
Looks like it worked, will post pic in a little while.
Okay, battery on left is the one you get from eBay, the one on the right is my homemade extended battery. If you peel the cover of a stock battery you'll see a cell, a bottom plate and a top plate with the control electronics installed.
All I did was what computer manufacturers have been doing for years, join two cells to one controller.
I might write a tutorial if enough interest pops up... *hint hint*
To anyone reading this:
My girlfriend's Infuse was damaged by the orange/yellow/white battery you see in the picture. The phone was scorch by a battery that just kept charging because one cell could not take anymore charge, so it just kept heating up.
If you have one of these batteries in your phone, keep a very close eye on it. I now have to contact the seller and see if there is any recourse for a phone that's been damaged by one of their products. Plainly put, it's burned so bad the sim card is melted in the slot!

Thats what I thought too, as it's the same size. still wanted to give it a testdrive, It's only the price of a Mc Donalds happymeal and free shipping so I ordered one for fun. Will post my findings after is properly calibrated.
Its not too great.....its not too bad. for what you paid....you get a battery than the stock on. Have been using it for a month now.
I'd love to hear your experience with it. Let us know! If it's any good, I'll be buying it...

I think the real capacity will be about 1100Mah zo 130 less then the original battery, as i'm in China right now I went one day on path to find me a spare battery for mine DHD and many just asked to high prices and I hadnt any faith that those higher Mah's would be really true.
So after looking at so many small shops in Guangzhou I came at this shop where the girl first needed look, being suprised that they where not selling battery's with false Mah's on, in fact it was a 1100Mah and I bought it just for 30rmb, all other sellers asked me about 40 a 50, one even dared ask more then 80.
The brand is Speedy, its a brand from Hongkong speedycom.hk/
It's to bad such brands wouldnt survive on eBay because most people will just go for the higher number even though the higher number is just a lie.
im interesting too

No the original htc battery is IMO the best battery on the market.
Guys, honestly I can't understand why you all want to try something that has been tried and proved several times to be fake.
Those guys make money on their lies and you help them expand and design their next lie which we will have to buy again before we realise the truth.
My opinion is that all people who bought similar batteries should return them and request refund because what they bought was not what was described. You bought a 1800/1500 or whatever mAh battery which was really 1240. If eBay or Paypal is involved, you can claim your money very easily.
buying batteries from these mass production factories from china is playing with your life dude....either they will short circuit your mobile board, else it will just blow up under slight increase of temperature.... please be caution and use only when your main original battery dies off and use this as backup and not for long hours usage....
also need a better battery

Is there anyway to check the actual power of the battery? I bought a 1600mah off ebay and it does seem to last a couple of hours longer than the original, but that might be cos i started using a custom rom after i bought it lol

This is reason why we better should use External battery packs...
Of course best of them cost much... but still your DHD maybe will live longer.
Thanks for info about Andida 1800MhA almost bought it. I will wait some time maybe there will be better one in future....
When I had a HTC Hero I had one such 1800mha peace of junk it lasted couple of hours and one day just stopped working I will never make the same mistake again.
These "batteries" are cheep for a reason.....

go to amazon.com they have some battery with charger for $120 for the LG G2x which is probably the one they are talking about. i didn't read the the ad but the picture doesn't look like an extended to me though. No battery is worth $120 for a cell phone unless it never would need to charge again! lol. or would work on every cell phone maybe....
lol it got removed. it was there a couple hours ago. looked like a scam anyways.

I did buy some extended batteries a while ago from ebay for my last phone. What I did was email some of the buyers of the battery and asked them about it.. But, recently I noticed some 1600mah batteries for sale on ebay for the g2x. I emailed a buyer.. he said "stay away".. He said it was only holding a charge for something like 1-2hrs.
Also, I can't get a battery w/a replacement door. I love my Body glove case.. There's no way I'm ditching it for a replacement battery. They'll have to come out with an extended battery that's the same size and like 1750mah for me to buy it.. Plus, who wants to take it out of the case constantly to switch to a backup stock battery. Not this guy.
Yeah that one for 120 is redic. I would love one that made the backing flush with the cam and maybe 2000mAh. People's cases would probably still fit as well. As long as it wasn't a hard plastic one.

Great! Thanks for the link. This is exactly what I've been looking for. You all gotta remember that these new cell phones are true personal computers literally, but since battery technology hasn't advanced much in holding capacity we need to accept this. I for one would rather have a functional device that's practical, rather than cosmetic form factor that only looks good, but can't even hold a charge for an 8 hour work shift. Even HTCs t mobile shadow, when it came out 4 years ago had horrible battery life, everyone complained and then t mobile gave every shadow owner a free extended battery through the mail. Even though it bulked up the phone, the HTC shadow was now practical and a dream to use. hopefully tmobile gets a lot of complaints on the g2x battery life and sends us all a free extended battery too. But for now I'm glad to know I can purchase this one. If anyone already has this mugen one please post a review. Thanks
So this (http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html) seems to be one of the best batteries aroung as well as the Mugen 1800mah. My question is, while Mugen should fit perfectly, I couldn't understand, after reading most of batteries thread till page 6, if the Chichitec need the label to be pulled out, someting to be cut, or fits perfectly.
Then, if something is needed, would there be any risk.
And the last thing, which one would be better in terms of runtime?
thanks
In the future, just drop your questions in the battery threads.
Using these batteries that are not meant for the G2 is fairly straightforward. The only truly necessary thing is to take the wrapper off of the battery, and then use a portion of it to cover up the part of the battery that would be touching the SD card slot in the phone; that's the only risk, the phone may short out if the two metals touch each other.
I believe both of them offer similar battery life; both stay true to their capacities, and are quality batteries. I bought the Anker 2-battery set and am very happy with it.
Going from stock to evo 4g battery then to a mugen 3600 mah, i would never go back. I dont give a crap about the bulk when I can play n64oid for an hour or two a day without any scare ill run out of battery. Without emulators I hit about 65-70% when I lay down at night. With stock I would hit 20% or so at night.

How do the Anker 2battery from amazon compare to the stock battery? Does it last much longer?
Since this thread was already bumped...
Can someone gimme a link to, or tell me where to find this huge "Battery Thread" that I see people keep referring to? I've searched and looked all over, and I find all kinds of battery related threads, but don't think I've come across the "epic" battery thread. It should probably be a sticky... then again, since I'm a noob, for all I know it probably is.
I don't understand why people would still buy the chichi battery when you need to modify, clip tape, etc. if you can just buy the Mugen which fits perfectly. I think people originally bought the chichi battery because there wasn't an extended one yet for the G2, but now you've got lots of options.
Plus, the one and only time I ever bought anything from chichi tec I had to return it and they wouldn't answer any emails and don't have a phone to call, I had to file a claim in PayPal before I could get a refund for my "guaranteed return".
i've had an awesome experiance with chichitec i plan on buying another perhaps mugen though more expensive, and really, seriously, the modifications are a joke, took me 15 seconds to do....anyone who complains about that should get over it. You are on a forum where we modify, hack, and otherwise tweak and customize our phones way beyond what the manufacturer intended so taking the label off a battery is just too easy a mod to complain about lol. Anyways never used a mugen but i get 25 hours plus moderate use with my chichitec so zero complaints here, especially when they are dirt cheap.

Also found that local store sells some kind 1500MAh batteries for DZ, might just grab one of those. Looks like it's X-power.

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.

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.

Axiom, are you still satisfied with these batteries after having then over a month? Do they last longer than stock battery? Any problems so far?

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.
Don't underestimate the power of China a battery isn't gonna expload in your face

yeah I meant worse performance than stock battery, not an actual combustion process
