yeah most likley;
i just got the Hyperion 5600 mAh and i got 7 hours screen time on my first charge; and almost 2 days on battery. (wifi/bluetooth on 24/7 and brightness at 100%)

I ordered one of these kinps 6300mah extended battery
Did a quick search on the kinps brand, apparently some galaxy note ii users said it was pretty decent so what the hell, it's cheaper than getting the zerolemon which costs quite a fair bit to ship out of the states.
Also, if it isn't close to 6300mah, I can always talk to the seller

maybe itll be just fine for you and that would be great, and i hope it is, but im quite confident in saying its not going to be 6300mAh.
if you spent $4 more, you could have bought a recognized brand like a hyperion 5200 mAh, and gotten better then rated specs. with a knips, or the OP's MPJ, they are one or all of the following:
1) purposely mislabeled capacity to deceive unsuspecting buyers
2) a recycled cell (not good)
3) manufacturing origin: China (Parts and assembly)
imho, i would have spent the extra $4 for quality.

I second that. Hyperion and Anker are the only two trusted double-capacity aftermarket batteries I would consider. 3x capacity - Zerolemon is a king. Every other brand claiming higher capacity just puts a fake label which in a lot of the cases you can remove (label that is) to read the actual battery marking. Samsung is very good at putting max size cells into OEM footprint, so anybody claiming more than 2600 mAh with original footprint is lying. The same with double capacity extended batteries, it's nothing more or less than double amount of original, so don't expect anything higher than 5200 mAh. Anything else will be a lie and you might not even get 2600 mAh or 5200 mAh out of these. Stay AWAY from any "Golden" labeled batteries. I got one of those for my N2 (labeled as 4200 mAh with a footprint of the original N2 3100 mAh). After external measurement it turned out to be slightly bigger than 2000 mAh. And I read the same reviews from others about these Gold batteries.

The thing is, those brands aren't readily available to the majority of the world. For instance, shipping for Anker and Hyperion batteries alone would be too expensive. For example, it costs me around USD55 to get a Zerolemon shipped to AU.
There are plenty of reputable Chinese brands out there too if you knew what they are.

yes this is a good option for my 2-year-old s4

I have a 7800mah anker and I only get about 15 hours from full charge....maybe I use my phone too much?

3500mah battery now available

Hey guys,..well Ive got the Cameron Sino 3000mah battery,thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789679
But just found out there also now a 3500mah battery available..so I couldnt help myself and gave it a go.Just bought yesterday so will take a week or so to arrive.
This one as with the other high capacity batteries also comes with a custom back cover..but instead of the all fat ones like the Cameron Sino one the top bit where the speaker and camera are is still slimmer..only the bulge where the battery is is fatter...personally I think that doesnt look as good as all fat cover (not as natural..looks more like an add on) but I guess with this way there's no black edges on the corner of photo's like some people are reporting with the all fat ones.
Anyway..there's a few sellers on ebay selling them but this is the cheapest I found:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3500M-EXTEND...092212?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0b1d3df4
Ha ha...I see its now USD $13 posted..yesterday when I clicked by now it was only USD $10.99
For me about AUD $11.48..(since current exchange rate is great now the time for us Aussies to buy from the U.S )
I bought it on Ebay for 11 Euro.
Looks good for long trips

Damn,he's now dropped the price again.This time down to USD $10.15! Thats even cheaper than what I paid..come on guys...gotta try it for that price..
I have already got the Cameron Sino 3000mah battery, but at 6.61GBP i thought i might as well order this one. Might well be a load of crap and might not even arrive, but its worth a go
Exactly.
I got the 3000mah Cameron Sino one too but had to try this one for that price.
Plus,dont forget,the back cover is a little different. Only the bottom section is fat,the top,where the camera and speaker are remains thinner so anyone who had complaints of the Cameron Sino all fat back cover making black edges around photos and the speaker a little muffled shouldnt complain here.
(Despite looking a little worse though I think)
Does anyone know how long this battery can hold a charge for?
would it be about 2.2xs longer?
Does anyone know a case that fits this? Preferably one that stays permanently on like those silicon ones?
What i don't get is that all of the extended batteries are so BIG..
Why not make a battery that is about 2 milimeter thicker and a case that only is bigger above the battery compartment..
In other words if you extend the 2/3 mm high hump on the regular cover about 1.5 inch on the SGS, you would have more room to put in a little bigger (2200mah) battery and you would still have a nice looking phone..
I would also like to know if theres any cases available for this size format. And its so weird how the capacity is ~2x more, but the size is 4x more lol.
My god, grrrr more batteries to buy! I'm starting to have way too many batteries. But its sooo cheap!!

Hmm.. A li-ion Polymore batter could be moulded to almost any shape and hold just a tad lower amps.. But they tend to be hell expensive compared to brick size li-ions that we rock. Iphones use li-ion polymore batts. But yeh, What i'm saying is taht we COULD get a decent size and shape but it would prob cost 2-3x more. I would love a batt thats say 2mm thick and cover whole back of the device which would maybe give it about 2500mah or more.

Gee,I see the prices have increased.When I bought mine you could get them for under USD$11 posted. As I did.
I have 3500mAh baterry now. It can joice my phone for a week, but it is kinda heavy and ugly, so I am using it only if I have to leave town for a weekend. It can survive even hard usage, playing games, and such. Took it from eBay.
I got mine delivered today. Charging as we speak. I ran across a site that exposes fake batteries and worry if this 3500mah battery is really just a big 2000mah battery now. Heres the site. What I noticed is that these ultra expensive Mugen batteries are so lowly rated. It seems that OEM batteries are best but they don't have a 3000mah battery! Hmmmmmmm

Nokia Lumia 710 - Extended Battery 2430MAH BP-3L

It is well known that the Lumia 710 doesn't have the best battery life. I found a "replacement" battery on e-bay that is larger in capacity. The standard BP-3L OEM one is rated at 1300mAH and the replacement battery on e-bay is rated at 2430mAH.
Anyone have luck with this battery? Not sure if anyone has purchased batteries from this manufacturer, e-cell, and if their products are any good?

The Nokia 710 uses the same battery as the Nokia 603 which is a a BP-3L not a BP-4L.

Who said anything about a BP-4L? The extended battery on ebay is listed as a BP-3L.
The listing states "GOLD 2430MAH BP-3L HIGH CAPACITY BUSINESS BATTERY FOR NOKIA 603 LUMIA 710" which means the 710 uses the same sized (physically) battery as the 603, which is what I'm guessing your implying.
Sorry about the confusion. The ad does say 710 and BP-3L. There was another thread where someone was asking about a BP-4L and I replied to the wrong thread.
However, I would be skeptical of a similar sized battery with such a high capacity.

Mugen batteries are good (at least they are honest about battery's real parameters) but extremely overpriced. And they never innovate something real new; all Mugen's batteries are built using "regular" technology, may be with better quality control.
I just bought this.. for great price...

I will report back if it's not good.
Not sure about this battery but Mugen batteries have great feedbacks.
Any new feedback on this topic? ??
I bought an andida 1700mah battery. It drains as fast as the original 1300mah. One thing i found out is that after using the 1700mah extended battery it somehow mess up your "battery status" in the diagnostic tool. It shows the voltage and current but the battery full capacity has disappear from the list. Anything similar happen to you guys?
hello friends, I bought a few weeks ago the battery mungen and I must say that I threw 36 euros. there is no difference between the original and this one. and diagnostics tool to me is missing when updating to firmware version for free 12120. I found this one on internet what you think.

I confirm that gives maximum mungen 1275mah after 6 full loads and two months of use
Hi guys, I see that there are some of you, that bought batteries with more charge than the original (1300mAh), I was thinking if it really last longer than the original, can you please post your feedbacks about the new batteries?
Thanks
Its fake.
a 2000 mah battery is not that size...
Ofcourse these batteries are fake. Even if they do exist, just think why doesn't Nokia sells it in their stores ? i wouldn't go for a product which is not official. I am happy with the battery life my phone has.
From my expereince, i own a HD7
The HD7 battery dimensions can only go up to 1300 mah
Seido, anker and mugen are selling them . they are 80 mah + than the original battery
ANy other capacity more than that means extended battery door and significantly thicker battery.
Dont get fooled into buying these gold batteries that advertise same size but atrociously high capacity . these are fakes obviously. if u can have 2000 mah battery in that size, then why havent HTC themselves have not done it? or samsung or even Apple

I have used the yoo bao 2200 mah battery and the anker 1300 mah battery . Both for HD7 phone
The yoo bao battery lasts significantly longer, about 100 % more but its thicker ( 2x the size of original HTC battery) and needs the supplied battery cover
http://www.obostore.com/2200mah-yoobao-extended-battery-for-htc-hd7-p-705.html
the anker 1300 mah battery also lasts slightly longer giving 15-20 % more. But it is the same size as the original battery .
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1300mAh-Li-ion-Battery-Schubert/sim/B005Q6VZFC/2
So get either of these and u should be fine.
I am now on the yoo bao battery and it does last me 2 full days with heavy usage

I bought a battery for desire hd from ebay for $5 with 1600mAh. Testing it with a professional battery charger I discovered that his power storage capacity was only 800 mAh (worse than the original after 1.5 years of use).
Also when I tried to use phone camera with the flash the phone suddenly reboots, which is not the case with the original battery.

I have seen the Anker 1600 mAh batteries on Amazon UK for £10 for 2 (incl a charger) which has pretty good reviews.
In my experience, for cheaper batteries you cant always trust a mAh rating for many cheaper batteries.
The Mugen and Anker ones consistently get good reviews.
I bought the Anker battery 1600 mAH from Amazon but I did not get Anker and got a different one instead. The battery I got was 1500 mAh. So be careful ordering from Amazon if at all you are looking for Anker replacement batteries. The good thing though is that I got the money refunded and the battery which I got isn't that bad either. I am for sure getting more usage time with the new battery.

Well... the thing about battery capacity is pretty mathematical. For a given volume of battery, you can only fit so much capacity inside.
That's why ebay batteries touting unusual figures are fake. If you're lucky they will have the stock capacity.
The only exception to this is Mugen, as far as I'm aware. They have squeezed some extra capacity (not much, takes it up to 1500mAh).
Batteries are also cheap if the manufacturer takes shortcuts on the charging circuitry. Another good reason to avoid the $5 1800mAh wonders.
So, I would only recommend 2 batteries: HTC's, and Mugen's.
End of thread?

I just ordered 2x of these Anger 1800mAh batteries from Amazon. Have great reports/reviews on Amazon, will report here if they're any good or not.

Check out my battery reviews in my sig to get an idea, I believe that the fat 3500 batteries have value that CANNOT be beat! (as long as added girth isn't minded)
A solid slim battery would be the OEM 1800mAh battery from the Epic Touch (just MAKE SURE it's true OEM and not a knock off that just looks like it... there are certain tells such as listed model numbers and other markings)
I find my OEM Samsung 1800mah to be substantial. Lasts the day and that's all I need I suppose. I can't stand fat batteries.

Yeah the 1800mAh batt is my favorite slim batt for sure just wish they were as cheap as the fat batts so you can choose between thin or capacity. I don't believe they deserve to be more than $1 in difference for the price/ performance to be on par with da fatties

I take it the 1800mAh batts don't need a bigger batt cover, right?

Yup, the Samsung Epic Touch 1800mah takes the stock cover.

Thanks for the links... I have been very lucky with my current battery, but think I should probably get a backup before this one bites the dust. Your information will be very useful to me thanks!

You're quite welcome!! I may go on to review my dad's 5 batteries for his S4 (2 OEM and 3 Generic) but I'm still sporting our good old Epic. Might upgrade/switch to a Stratosphere II (Epic on crack)

I bought what appear to be OEM samsung 1800 mAh batteries from Amazon and they weren't stellar performers. i think it might be possible that these are seconds or b-stock or something. I had the stock 1400 that came with my phone in rotation and I just didn't see a big difference with the 1800.
However, I just bought Anker 1800s and those things have impressed me. 2 batteries and an outboard charger for $20 is a helluva deal, too. I am gun shy about buying the ones that are marked "samsung" now due to the negative experience I had. Your mileage may vary.

*1500mAh stock
You may have bought a counterfeit in OEM's clothing. Can you get some pictures up of your "OEM" samsung 1800 batts??
I hear good things about Anker batteries but haven't had the pleasure of using them nor testing them. Would you want me to analyze yours?
I just bought this battery a week ago and feel as though it may be a knock off. It only gets about 8 hours of life before dying. How can you tell if it's a fake?
I guess I could have resized...oops sorry!

Hmm...that does appear to be genuine...
Maybe they sent you some used ones or possible "new" ones that have sit unused in the warehouse for too long. Would you like me to analyze them for ya?? (or any other batteries)
As you saw my dad hadn't had his for longer than 6 months and his 1800 battery dropped from 1800mAh to about 1500mAh average.
Have you fully discharged and charged them a couple times. They might need that.

I was expecting to see a MFG date on it like my two (3 year old) factory batteries I have. After a few days of using the 1800 I went back to them since they at least make it through the day. They've had a few charge cycles or more.
The first day or so was rough since the phone was reporting 15-20% power and then would just power off. I'd turn it back on and it'd say 5% or something. Admittedly when I put this new battery in I deleted the battery stats file so I attributed this initial behavior to that.
I was planning to return the battery if it's worth my time/money since I got it fairly cheap on ebay (doh!). I should have read these threads before shopping there for bargains.
How would you go about analyzing batteries? Need to send them to you?

Help me choose an extended battery for my Galaxy s5 please

I know posts have been made about this, but I just couldn't make heads or tails out of most of them. Ok so I don't care about things like wireless charging. Water- resistance retention would be considered a plus, but it is not mandatory. I'd like an extended battery which increases battery life of my s5, and if the battery is thick and requires a new case, that's OK, as long as the case is sturdy and preferably protects the phone.
Concerns are quality of battery and battery life, and price. I looked at some listings like ZeroLemon and Anker and they are way too expensive for me. I live in Malta (europe) and the price combined with the shipping cost was more than I am comfortable spending.
Any contributions are greatly appreciated, Thanks
The mpj extended power, same size battery...
http://www.mpjbattery.com/mpj-4300m...900-g900m-g900a-g900t-g900v-g900r4-g900p.html
I have not received mine yet.
MPJ is crap, honestly. There are hundreds of posts in this forum documenting it -- you simply can't stuff more energy into a battery that's the same size as the OEM one, and only charge a fraction of the OEM price.
The Anker 7500mAh is 27 quid on Amazon.co.uk, and that's probably the best you'll do in getting a legit extended battery -- everything else is "too good to be true."
In the States, I've used Hyperion and Aukey, and they're pretty good.
Good luck!

But the oem website says it's almost 5 stars!! /sarcasm
Its 20 bucks, hope it works out.
I have the 7500 Zerolemon in my s3, it's been there 2 years, still holds up all day. I'm upgrading to upgrade and to have a 'newer' spare aka the s3 will be my new spare. Not because the s3 is not any good, it's actually pretty good. It's downside is the lack of dev now, and products online. Anyway, zerolemon is awesome also.

I hope it does for your sake too, Clues. I too love ZeroLemon (I had a GS3 with one as well, the battery outlasted the phone!), but the OP said he'd checked the prices for ZeroLemon and Anker, and they were out of his range.
So, I Googled "websites to shop Malta," saw several references to UK Amazon, and took a look at the brands and prices -- the Anker 7800mAh (I mistakenly wrote 7500 earlier) is a lot less than the ZL offering, and the UK versions of the the same "no-name" batteries are about 2/3 the price compared to a top-2 offering (the Anker).
And with the no-names, you're basically paying for a short-term solution, as their battery life usually falls off a cliff after 6 months.
27 GBP = ~$40 USD, the same price this battery sells for in the States, and it comes with an 18-month warranty.
Simply put, I think that this is the best option for our Maltese OP.
I’ve got both of 4300mah &8200mah from them and don’t think mpj is crap. They work just fine. Regular one is basically on par with stock battery if not better. The one adding noticeable bulk held much longer when compared to the other or stock.

hey thanks all for your post, esp. you minister of etc for your thoroughness. The price of 27 GBP applies for UK residents, I have to pay extra for shipping, in total 33 GBP, but that's ok. When I made this post, I didn't have a job, now I do ^_^

Bought one awhile ago, didn't notice any difference over the stock Samsung battery.
I think you can't go wrong with zerolemon to be honest. Bought the S5 8500 mah extended the other day. Had 62% when I put it in my phone for the first time on Tuesday. Today Sunday it still at 8% (wondering if it will ever die) lol

Theres also a bunch of these on eBay :http://www.ebay.com/itm/4200mAh-Gold-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-i9600-G900V-G900A-900T/191656494905?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D777000%26algo%3DABA.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D35696%26meid%3D90f6e5dc9da9432cb5d949df4c707991%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D261539639358
But will these provide any improvement over the OEM, be about the same, or would it make it worse than the OEM battery?

I have one of these batteries, its about 2/3 the capacity of the stock battery.
I bought it knowing it was not going to be as good as OEM. My wife also has an S5 and easy access to charging, so a lower capacity doesn't impact her. I just borrow her OEM battery when I need to carry a spare for travelling.
The MPJ seems to be working fine after 4mo.
I'd like to post some results, whats the best way to show battery health/history?
Honestly if you have multiple devices you might want to go with a power bank. They're less money, have bigger batteries, and work with multiple devices (you won't be looking for a new one when you get a new phone)
Good Galaxy S5 Extended Battery
I just upgraded my phone, but on my old S5 I used an extended battery from Gorilla Gadgets. I used to get around 30-40 hours of battery life with normal use.
https://gorillagadgets.com/collections/samsung-galaxy-s5-accessories/products/samsung-galaxy-s5-5800mah-extended-life-battery
bought a standard anker replacement and one day got over 5 sot and then the next for 2 lol!!!!! crazy difference.
Go with the Hyperion 5600 mah
VZ S7 EDGE ONYX
I use my S5s for playing Ingress. So, long days walking around with the GPS.
I have found the S5's battery life to be pretty good.
I simply bought a couple of the Samsung spare battery kits with the charger.
Normally one battery lasts most of a day running Internet and GPS a lot.
Carrying one extra is usually enough for that last little bit of security.
post your sot stats and talk time?
