[Q] Has anybody tried this 3000 mAh battery?

Recently I was looking for a cover for my g2 phone when I saw this sale http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extended-Battery-Back-cover-HTC-Desire-Z-G2-/140496797740?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b643002c#ht_1322wt_1139
It's a 3000 mAh battery with the back cover. Does anyone tried it or anyone similar in the past? Should I take the risk and pay $12.50 for it?
I would appreciate some opinions Thanks

Sorry this thread should be on Desire Z/ G2 area. My apologies. Can any moderator move it?

I always had good luck with the. Chinese extended batterys

for $12 I'm in for 1.

Yeah I actually recently got two 1500 mAh batteries that works like a charm so far. I'm just a little skeptical of this one because I don't know for sure if it'll be comfortable to have an extended back cover...

Wow that's a fat battery :O

..3500mah too

Pregnant phone anyone?

I bought 3 1500mAh batteries from HK. Same white lable, maybe same company. They work great, but it is annoying to change batteries.
My G1 was a pregant phone and I did love the extra bulk, but I'm not sure if I want the extra bulk on my G2, I've have to think this one over.
Maybe I'll just have to wait for the reviews.

Just order the 3500mAh. Will report when I get it and test

Looks identical to the one I bought - which works fine. I only use it if I'm going to be away from a charger for a day, but it does the job.
The only other issue is it doesn't fit on the docking station :-(

Just ordered this through Amazon.com. Anyone have any experience with this brand of battery? There weren't many reviews for this specific battery. Their other batteries had decent reviews. If nothing else I suppose it doesn't hurt to have a spare lol. I'll share my experience once I've had a chance to try it out.

usually non oem batteries are fraud but try it out and see if it works the way it says.
if it doesn't it would make a cool backup battery ill guess
edit: ill order it as well

Does it need a different back?

It says
-No extended battery door is required

Hopefully as they become available we can start testing aftermarket batteries like was done on the N1 ( and likely other phones )
I know myself and many others would love to have a legit 1800mah that fits the factory case
{Edit} just read the only review. seems to last about an hour longer. while that isnt much for the price and the fact it fits the case I think thats worth it.

Their other batteries had decent reviews because their employees are inflating the #s. I just did a review of the reviews... There is 1 person that reviewed 3 prodicell batteries on the same day, for 3 different phones... all 5 star reviews.
Then, you read the 1-2-3 star reviews... Those are normal people... with normal reviews... who are all getting boned.

Lol we'll find out soon enough. I'm a bit skeptical as I've gotten screwed with generic batteries before, but even if it doesn't perform quite as well as advertised, it sounds like it'll serve its purpose as a spare.

There's another thread about this battery in the Accessories section of the forum. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096164
I just got my battery yesterday and I'll talk more about how it's working after I've used it for a few days. I'll be posting in that other thread, though, as there's no need for 2 threads about this battery's performance. It makes more sense to have it in the Accessories section anyway.

I would buy these before the one you posted.

I've bought his batteries before for my Inc. from htc express and I know they are legit.

I got an extended battery from Amazon for my g2. It bricked 2 of my phones after getting a slight bit hot. Just some food for thought.

I have used HTCExpress (Chichitec) on my Dinc and then modified it to work on the G2. I'd pick up this one over any aftermarket anyday.
Apparently this is pretty new, it's not even on htcexpress yet.

If OEMs have trouble producing or procuring a battery that lasts, what makes anyone confident that third party/aftermarket companies will do a better job and for cheaper to boot? Yeah right

I was messing around on amazon and seen a few 1700mah batteries and am looking in to one.

Why spend so much on one battery
As long as you dont mind switching batteries atleast once a day hit up Ebay and get 2 or 3 batteries depends on your use, and an external wall charger for around 10 to 13 bucks. they are also slim and after conditioning they last as long as stock batteries.

wow, 41 bucks on amazon and just as many 1 star reviews as 5 stars. Think I'll stick to my aftermarket batteries on the cheap.

One of these would go perfect with the otterbox.

I know a lot of these batteries that are labeled on amazon and ebay are actually stock knockoffs labeled as 1750, but truly share the same capacity as the 1400. I haven't tried or talked to anyone that's tested this listing so it could be a true claim. Just a warning for people to keep in mind. A lot of guys on ebay are even selling 1750 extended batteries that arrive still using the 1400 mah labels.

I would normally agree and not post something like this but this was on the seidio site. Being as they could lie as much as anyone on eBay I thought this might be different since this is a company and not just some third party eBay seller. I'm just curious if this battery holds up to the claims.

I apoligize if I sounded like I was trying to be condescending. I would have totally made the same call you did with giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's a big company with a good reputation, and I wouldn't doubt them without proof.
My post was meant as a warning for the people that read the thread and head straight to ebay and buy the first 99 cent battery they can find, and then install it and start bashing a developer about battery life lol

Post Pictures of Your S4 with Extended Batteries

I know a lot of us are looking to buy extended batteries, and some of us have already purchased some. I am personally in the former group. It's hard to judge thickness since a lot of the pictures don't really give you a side view, and don't have anything in the picture to provide scale.
I'm hoping we can use this thread as a collection of pics of the various extended batteries/battery cases to help each other see how bulky a particular battery is in order to make a more informed purchasing decision.
If you're going to add a picture, please post the brand name, mah, and try to include something in your pic that adds scale (ruler, penny, standard pencil, before and after pic, etc). Also, if you've had it for a bit, maybe throw in a couple of lines stating how you feel about the battery in regards to size/performance and whether you would recommend purchasing it.
