Seidio Extended Battery

Hi.. this is for sale on Ebay. What you think, worth to buy?
Its a Seidio 1600 ma battery that fits in without new back cover... £28...
###Edit### I checked Seidio's website and theres no battery for Desire... so this must be for Nexus One. Just wonder they really are 100% compatible? ##
T-mobile promised to send me a new one, but they are out of stock so they refunded my accounr with £20 to buy one on my own. Not sure if this one is good/safe etc...(?)
Thanks

Seems good 'on paper'. But I never understood why a phone's manufacturer wouldn't supply a device with the highest capacity possible (with the same size) unless it had 'adverse' effects on something, no matter how small.

Keep cost down, like not providing a case or docking station.

Just wonder how much more would the +200 mah do. Seidio seems to be a known brand though - also if it is for Nexus - is it really the same battery?

It does look as though the battery for the Desire is the same as for the Nexus One. Both seem to quote part number BA S410 tor the standard battery.

Tested it - I tried the Seidio Nexus One in the Desire and it works perfectly.

So whats the battery life like then? Is a 14% increase going to be noticed?
What would be great is two batteries in parallel covered by a skin with no back plate!

love to know as well. Mobile Fun are selling some as well.

just found this as well for nexus. Hope it helps till we get a definite answer
http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...releases-slim-extended-battery-nexus-one.html
TBH id want one of these
http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/03/29/seidio-3200mah-nexus-one-battery-hands-on/

Wow seems like the 3200 has amazing battery life but everyone is complaining about the back cover.
Im sure this would work fine in the desire - just need a skin which will cover it without the backplate on at all but with lens cover and we are all sorted!

you know what?? i need clarity on extended life battery so bear with me. Does this go ontop of normal battery hence doubling life. or is it just a bigger capacity replacement battery so longer battery.
Sorry i just needed a bit of clarity

it has the same width/height as standard battery (fits in slot) but double the thickness almost like to stacked on top of each other in parellel. That means the original backing plate wont fit on anymore so they supply a replacement.
Checkout the video from the nexus one forum

Has anyone seen skins with camera lenses?

Could you pls let us know if the 1600 one is worth to get? Is there any real difference? Thanks

thanks

Ordered one but the daft ebay seller sent me the standard HTC battery!

which battery did you order? 1600??

Good and working Battery Extended? Any Suggestions?

Hi Guys,
i got my S4 9505 from 1 month and i very very happy with it..also for good battery life, but we have removable battery and maybe there is some battery better than original..
I looking for a battery with the original size dimension but more big than the original..but above all really big.. not only write on it.. but it must to be really extended..
if someone use some battery extended with original size and is certain that is extended can give me information about your battery life, screen on time and link for buy it?
Thanks

No suggestions?

Please note it is not physically possible to accommodate more capacity into the battery for the same size, if that was possible I guess samsung would had done that for us. However why not purchase extra charger and battery case made by samsung.
But I do see Mugen doing a change by providing 2750mAh battery of same size. Check here at amazon.
Or you might have to get large extended battery and find the best the chose from.

I think battery up to 3500 mAh on ebay can suited the original back cover (according to seller description). Many of those selling these batteries on ebay, but I still haven't try one. Maybe later I'll try.

No, impossible. They claim to be 3500's but the are not. Most/all of the aftermarket high(er) capacity batteries are bogus, capacity wise.

above user is correct, don't go for chinese counterfeits claiming 3500 in same capacity and dimensions. I think the mugen is the only one out there, but its rather a stupidity.

i found this http://www.ebay.it/itm/ZeroLemon-2x...hone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item19e14ab68c&_uhb=1
its seems 3000mAh.. but i dont know this ZeroLemon and if this battery are good..
someone know or use this 3000mAh ZeroLemon?
Ps. Thanks guys for your replys :good:

I had a Zero Lemon slim extended battery on my SGS3. It was 2400mah vs the stock 2100. It was pretty good, giving an extra 30-45 minutes or so extra screen time and another 90-120 minutes of run time. If you find you're just cutting it close at the end of the day and you can't charge mid-day, it's worth the $20 for a pair of them plus a charger. You can get them on Amazon too. I haven't bought the S4 versions yet but I plan to - my wife and I can each get a little more battery life for a total of $20 that way.
You lose NFC, though. that's probably why they have a higher capacity - no NFC antenna. If you use that feature, or S-Beam or whatever, skip the Zero Lemons.

Hi guys,
nobody have tryed this battery http://www.ebay.it/itm/ZeroLemon-2x...hone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item19e14ab68c&_uhb=1 on GS4?
I'd like to know if is good battery, if is not dangerous and if is true extendend..
thanks

I ended up with a Hyperion because it would fit the Seidio Extended (and it did perfectly). I was not at all impressed with the reviews on teh 3000mah ZeroLemon because it seems like it was thicker than the stock battery and put a bit of a bulge on the battery door. I was afraid it would not fit cases properly so I skipped it.

i researched a lot on zerolemon ...
their product is good and is as stated no scams !!
i couldnt buy it coz they were charging $19.99 + $17(shipping) and i bought the original samsung battery kit for $32 where i live .....
but i had researched a lot on the company before making the decision towards them.... only regret is samsung gave me 1 battery + charger 1.7mAh .... zerolemon was giving 2 batteries + chrager 600mAh.... so i basically traded only battery for a charger that charges a battery in 1hr and 30mins 0% --> 100% .....

so whats the best rate for getting a good 12 to 14 hour outta your batt

Slim extended battery don't work well. Usually falsely advertised for their capacity. Can't get more capacity into a battery if you don't increase the real estate of the battery

IMO Anker are a great battery. And their CS is second to none :good:

From the past, NFC and kickstand has been done with other phone models, wireless charging might not be possible.
There might be a stand along wirless charging battery by anymode (samsung sister/partner company or a third party one), but this one has not been confirmed.

I never needed one for my S4, so I am guessing I will get by without a second on the S5. I do have a 7800 mah portable charger that we bring along on trips and events should anyone need to power up. Battery life has definitely improved since my Thunderbolt/ Galaxy Nexus days.

Not sure about Anker and other 3rd party batteries. Steve Litchfield did a test on several 3rd party batteries (inc. Anker) and they all don't hold as much charge as the original. You can get physically bigger ones but they don't appear to be as energy dense as the originals. Still for the price, they made sense as spare/back up batteries compared to originals.

That is what i meant. The Anker i had with my S4 wasn't as good as the original but not far off. So comparing Anker vs original it was probably better value pound for pound. You could probably get 2 Anker ones for the price of a Samsung.

I go with Seideo myself. They are quite expensive but the extended battery + Case/Clip combo works well. I started with them on my Palm Pre and have bought their stuff for every phone after that. Generally their cases and clips hold up well and the batter adds a few days worth of life. Your mileage may vary though.

I found this 5600mA extended battery here:
http://www.batterybay.net/Extended-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-p/samsung-cs-smi960hl.htm
I previously used Batterybay battery. Fair performance but cheap price (relatively to Mugen)
I think I will give it a vote this time. Anyone here tried that before???

OR, just buy the stock battery that comes with the S5 or the battery/charger combo if you wanna keep it slim as stock. That's what I would do. The KINPS 4000mah battery for my Note 2 that I bought from Ebay was not any better than the stock 3100mah that came with it.

Are These Battery's Legit? And Will They Work With i337?

I found two battery's on ebay both of the highest capacity's without getting a bigger external back cover, has anyone tried these or willing to try? the one that seems the most legit to me is the red one but would the gray and blue one still work on i337?

Interested to see how these compare to the 2600mah stock battery
P.S: yes we all know that most of these "fake" ebay batteries are similar/lesser in endurance compared to the smaller stock battery - but a comparison between the two (from buyers) is still helpful in determining whether to buy this as a cheap spare, etc.

so not worth it unless you just want a spare for long travels etc

Mugen Power Extended 6200mAh Battery for LG V10

http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-6200mah-battery-for-lg-v10/
Sadly no case

And 100 dollars? No thanks

That's a more practical-sized battery and infinitely more attractive than the zero lemon overkill monstrosity.
It it actually looked better than it does and was in line with the V10 design, I'd be willing to spend 100 bucks on it.
But no, still pretty fugly.

actually looks great in my opinion. Will definitely be buying it in the future

Looks OK, bit too much $$$. I am still waiting for a slightly higher capacity standard sized battery. I want to still use my Otterbox. Am also not sure how high of a capacity they can pump into the battery before they have to make it larger. 3500 mAh?

Will they even produce slighter higher capacity battery?

Good grief, $100; hell no. OEM V10 batteries can be grabbed off EBay for $15 now. Or Ankers' fantastic external Quick Charge 10,500 battery for $34.

Wow, too much money!! I have the ZL and it is huge, but I can deal with that...

Holy guacamole! That's nuts! Rather buy a couple of standard batts than spend that much!

**** that is close to how much it cost when I had my HTC Tytn II back in 07.

just buy another battery with a charging dock. problem solved, much cheaper, more mobility!

anyone bought this yet? Just found it today. Looks awesome with the stand back. Mugen quality. Sizing infinitely better than ZL girth.

This is much cheaper HERE. I have 2 of the same brand for my LG G4

That's a mobile link, won't work on a computer.
That battery is also highly unlikely to be 7600mah, the case is cheap TPU, and the Mugen back design style is nicer layout incl. the kickstand.

If the battery isn't 7600mah then it'll be close to it. I'm on my 4500mah and yes it seems to be like 4500mah if you look my Thread and plus that case is only the back for it. I bought a TPU case that fits over it

Highly highly unlikely. It's probably two V10 batteries wired together. Which would = ~6000mah, just like the Mugen is. ZL, Hyperion, Anker, AceSoft, they all do the same thing like that. For $38 I highly doubt it's legitimately as advertised.
Also, "New 7600mAh Extended Life Battery + White Back Cover + HoneyComb Extended TPU Case For LG V10 H968 H961N H900 H901 VS990"
I ordered the Mugen product yesterday, I like their items and warranty and backing design w/stand. I can report back here if anyone's interested (seems like most people on XDA just like to talk trash about extended batteries)

Ok whatever. I know what i've done to test my batteries and i'm happy with my Extended Batteries. I'm testing my 6000mah with PCMark for Android with the Battery Work Test and IDC what the test result is. I've done the REAL Testing
