Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I seem to face issues with the crappy stock battery, so I bought 3500maH battery and it works like a charm, however it is way to big, to bulky for my taste and as such I was planning on buying either a 1900maH Anker battery which you seem to like a lot guys, or one of these two:
- http://www.ebay.com/itm/KINPS-2450m...816538?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e76b86b9a
- http://www.ebay.ca/itm/MPJ-Battery-...hone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4d11f0660f&_uhb=1
Which one do you think I should buy? I heard the Anker batteries don't overheat the device unlike the stock battery and some others, so I'm not sure whether I should go for the larger ones or the Ankers.
I have no experience with those two but I DO know Anker. They aren't Chinese, they are cheaper than those & they are realistically labeled for milli-amp/hours. (1900 MAh) ANKER....for SURE.......IMHO.
From what I've seen Anker has gone up in price. Anyone know a cheap source?
Also I think I read somewhere that Anker and ChiChiTec are the same batteries as well, just with different labelling, so I wonder if there's another same cheaper marketed battery
There are several battery threads over in "Accessories". Personally I read them all a couple of months ago then bought a gold battery from the "2450mAh gold slim" thread. Found on ebay the Japanese-manufactured that people had had better experiences with, bought it, and found (admittedly not 2450mAh) but longer battery life and far fewer brown-out random reboots. The difference was so stark, I went back a few days later and bought a second!

Yep, thanks for all your opinions guys, I will try to buy them both to compare them, if that's not possible though since my dad is the one buying them Ill try out the 2400mAh one, I just can't trust a product like Anker, I mean it it just about 25% bigger than the stock battery, it must be a trusty little battery but I'm pretty sure it won't make any miracles happen, I'm a heavy user and I make my 3500mAh battery last about 7 or 8 hours, so I think I will go for the big one. Thanks again guys for all your opinions. Really appreciated.
I bought an Anker for my mt4gs and it FAR outperformed the stock battery. I bought two and they came with a stand alone charger. So awesome were they that I bought Ankers for my Note 2. The stock Samsung battery hasn't been in the phone for 6 months. I haven't seen a downside yet after 2 years.

Hello Everybody
I am looking to buying the following battery
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G2X-Opti...ccessories&hash=item2eb6f543db#ht_2178wt_1270
I don't want to sacrifice the sleek look of my mobile phone by buying 1350 mAh or 1450 mAh huge batteries.
Anybody bought these kind of batteries already ?
Do you find noticeable difference in run-time ?
That's the one I saw on ebay.
The thing I notice that the slim batteries that are larger in capacity than the stock batteries are more in price than the larger capacity and fatter batteries with a bigger back cover.
I wonder what is that???
I going to order next payday to try it out.
If you get it before I do. Let me know how it worked out for you.

I do not think this is going to be any better than stock battery. Better to go with the fat one. You will at least get 2000 to 2200 mAh out of those for $10.
I have had that Andida battery for a couple of months now. Never any problems with it, and I would say I probably get somewhere between 30 minutes-2 hours extra charge over the stock battery, depending on what kind of usage, obviously. It feels noticeably thicker/denser than the stock battery. It fits inside with the normal cover, but you can tell it's a tighter fit. I also charge it sometimes on the spare port of my desk dock, and it's a tighter fit there, as well. And a bit heavier.
I won't make any claims of whether it's actuallyt 1980 or not...but it's a good battery...at least mine has been good to me. Nothing "night and day" that you're gonna convert religions over, but if you're looking for a second battery anyway, it's definitely worth it.
Generally, it's seemed like people with the Andida 1980 mAh battery have gotten an extra hour or two more over the OEM.
Buy it from here instead, only $9.

Thanks for posting that obostore link...when I clicked the OP's ebay link, I was pretty sure I didn't pay anything near $29, but it's been a while and I"ve bought so many things, I couldn't remember...but it didn't feel right.
$9 from obostore sounds about right...I've bought about 6 cases and other stuff from them, so they are legit. It does take about 2-3 weeks to reach your door from the time you order, since it comes from Hong Kong.

Thank you so much for this excellent link.
I was initially hesitated to buy this battery for $30 in eBay.
I've had my Galaxy S 4G for several months now, and recently the battery life has lessened during daily use.
I originally used a 1700mAh genuine Samsung battery (forgive me it may have been 1650), but switched over to some backup batteries I have that are 1500mAh.
The 1500's don't have the same life, so I'd like to buy something better.
I found a 2000mAh on eBay, but would that require a new battery door? The seller does not indicate the battery size. Is it possible to get a 2000mAh battery for my 4G S that is the same size as the original battery?
Any suggestions and response are appreciated. Thanks! - Jamie
as far as I know, there's only one fairly decent battery that will fit your phone as is. and that would be the 1800 mAh battery. there's a thread about it in the accessories section, you should look it up
Thanks for your suggestion. Doesn't seem to be the sort of question many want to answer.
They sell 1800mAh batteries on eBay for 2.99, so I think its worth a shot. I just don't want to get a battery that requires a new door, or makes my phone thicker.
Just saying, you get what you paid for. Honestly, IMO you should try to get the OEM samsung battery for the epic 4g touch, or ankler 1800mAh batteries. there was a battery thread somewhere around the vibrant accesories board which someone tested a bunch of batteries, and a lot of the cheaper off-brands had a lower mAh rating than advertised
We shall see. I actually ended up ordering a 2000mAh off eBay for 11.49. The battery was listed as a fit for my phone. I have actually had some good experience in the past buying third-party batteries, specifically for Motorola phone, but, I've also had poor experiences buying knock-off batteries for blackberries that were packaged to look like the genuine thing.
I'll post back, maybe in a week or so when the battery is delivered and I test it.
I'm looking for a replacement battery for my S4. Since it's replacement it doesn't have to be as good. What scares me though is that those cheap ebay/dealextreme batteries might hurt my phone somehow (those golden batteries etc). Is this possible, or is it safe to use those 'fake' batteries?
Also I would love if you guys could recommend a decent replacement battery for a good price (even better with a wall battery charger).

I have a problem with the huge ass batteries, I like my phone the way it is, so I'm looking for regular size.

Suit yourself, but I'm going on 19 hours off of a full charge with my Zerolemon and I still have 55% left.

ZeroLemon will be doing a regular sized battery as well which is what i'm waiting for. And ZeroLemon are known for their reliability (and actually being 3000 mAh). I wouldn't trust the ebay ones.
i got one of this to test and it was the perfect replacement battery. So just ordered this from amazon expecting delivery right about now...

After some research I came to a conclusion I want that one too. Can you check if it's just the same size as the original battery? As I've seen some Anker batteries which were good but slightly too large.

the one i tested was non nfc, these are nfc enabled but i doubt that would make them that much bigger to bulge, but ill let you know as soon as this UPS man arrives at my office, gotta love amazon prime! :laugh:
I bought the Anker batteries. Get 2 batteries and a wall charger. The wall charger also has a USB port which can output 1A, which it pretty good to carry around if needed. I've read reviews how when these first came out it was a really tight fit, but it seems that they made adjustments because the ones I received fit in just fine, like the OEM ones.
Being that I dont have 10 post I can't post urls this is
Seller name was -valuebuybattery
Title-3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh
worth it
I almost always buy the cheapo chinese batteries for my phones. Here are my findings:
They will last throughout the day about as long as genuine batteries... for the 1st year
After the 1st year, they will start to degrade.... depending on your use, lack of use, temperature, etc... I have some 2.5 year old chinese epic 4g batteries that still work.. but only last about 4 hours. My original battery will still go a good 12hrs. I only keep them around for emergencies, but I don't really use that phone anymore.
The cheapo chargers that come w/ it is very handy and usually work pretty well.
Depending on how much you use them, they will last you a couple years.
Why i think they are worth it:
For ten bucks, they are a great backup battery. By that I mean, when get home from work and my battery is almost dead.... I can swap out the battery for the rest of the evening and don't have to put my phone on the charger till bed.
I'm a normal smart phone user, a normal batter will last me the day most days. I don't game or do too many intensive things..
I get them because I know that I will get a new phone every 1.5 to 2 years... so why do my batteries need to outlast the phone?
Who shouldn't use them:
People who really drain their batteries. They simply won't go as many recharge cycles as a normal battery (by that I mean full empty to full charge).
Tips:
Mark your crappy batteries with a permanent marker. The chinese clones look so good that you probably can't tell the difference between them and a real on. Mark the fake ones so that you can use your real on days when you know you really need lasting power. This isn't so important the first 9 months... but after that it could be.
Watch for reviews on a good battery seller (if buying from ebay)... there are good cheap-o batteries and their are crappy ones. I like to let other people figure it out
Does anyone have this battery or have had a battery from this company? I am looking for a little bit more power then stock but don't want to add bulk to my phone any info would be great thanks!
I found it on Amazon here is the link.

You can't add capacity without adding size. So 3200mah is really 2800mah like all other stock size batteries.
I'd recommend Anker or RAVPower

This is not exactly true. Capacity has been increasing every year since lithium was introduced. The real problem is that most manufacturers didn't spend as much on battery development like Samsung did. So to get more capacity in the same sized battery would be quite a feat although not impossible.

I think it's safe to say that any 3rd party sellers of S4 batteries are not sinking R&D into new battery chemistry and design. But you will see lots of false specs
i'v had a 6200mAh TQTHL on my S4(which my son inherited , and now i have two 3200mAh of the same brand on my S5 and the wife's phone..
i think this is a good battery. i bought my S5 used, so i can't say how much it fares against the original samsung battery, but i can tell you that i'v had over 4 hours screen-on-time and this is with 3G/wifi always on, maybe 30 minutes of calls, mostly web-browsing (opera browser), and some simple game a few times during the day.
what i like about this brand is that the batteries didn't fail after months of use, like some other cheap brands. the 6200mAh on his S4 is over a year old, and it still performs admirably.
if the price is right for you then i suggest you go ahead and buy one, i'm sure you won't regret it(unless you're unlucky and get a lemon, which wasn't my case). if its not better than the original then its definitely not any worse, since its half the price

You can get that battery and others on Ebay, or Amazon.
I just replaced my original battery with a Max Baer high capacity battery at 3600mAh and it's just as bad as my old original battery. It's draining just as fast. I need to purchase another battery so anyone with experience with purchasing any batteries. If you can give me some advice on which one you bought and how well it did would be great cuz I would hate to buy another one after I buy this one, so any advice would be grateful. And theven MaxBeat high capacity battery was even rated higher than at 3600mAh and the original battery was 3200mAh or close to that number. so I would have thought that this max Baer battery would have done pretty good but it's as a right now not holding up to my standards I have to charge it like twice a day. Once again any suggestions would be greatly appreciate it thank you
Never heard of MaxBaer/MaxBeat or whatever it is - is it the same physical size as the original battery? If so, there is no way it can be 3600mAh. I wouldn't touch anything other than RavPower - as far as I'm aware there are no genuine Samsung ones left and Anker has stopped making them. RavPower: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072N5G4RB
I'm a ZeroLemon fan. Granted it makes the phone larger and people always comment on how large my phone is, though I have used phones as large as Red Bricks for work (Intermec) so it's small by comparison. I don't use the belt clip with it since I have cargo pockets.
Based on my personal experience, Stalion® Strength Note 4 Replacement Battery gives a great performance compared to the original for a normal (not extended battery) and sells at a very good price too. Also 4500mah Golden Battery though its performance is the same as a 3220mah Stalion but comes at a cheaper price.
I have got them from eBay.
I have tried Maxbear and powerbear, neither of which are any good in my experience. I also have two from anker and those were good but they're old now. I just this week bought an extended shenMZ 7500 mAh battery but that is not even lasting an entire day so I think it may have been sitting for a while. I think part of the problem may be that some of these batteries have been sitting in a warehouse for a long time unused. Somebody in this thread said that the RavPower batteries are still good. I also hear from another thread that the TQTHL extended 11800mah batteries are good as well. Has anybody bought a battery in the past few months that doesn't suck?
