What about the EC TECHNOLOGY 2800mah battery on amazon?
Is it really better than the stock battery?
Amazon reviews are saying it last much longer but dunno if its based on S4
Never heard of that brand but might as well go for the ZeroLemon 3000mAh battery

Does it need a special rear cover?
I am trying to find a battery with better results than oem but without changing the cover

The ZeroLemon 3000mAh battery fits with the original back cover but it's a tight fit without NFC since it's 400mAh more
Have you looked up the Anker battery? That one is really good.

And not only that, Mugen makes GARBAGE. Check out batteryboss.org, their batteries are junk compared to any of the other ones.
I purchased this battery from this same ebay seller. I have had this battery in heavy daiily use for over a month and it has performed flawlessly and lasts all day with no problem.

For that price, I think you'd be better off getting the Seidio battery - it's cheaper and comes with a better looking battery cover.

Hrm. Well the looks part is subjective, but what function does the Mugen battery cover perform better than the Seidio battery cover?

The reason people don't like it is because it sucks for an "extended" battery. You can get another one almost 1000mAh bigger for the same physical size.
Which one would u recommend

I haven't tried any but from others' recommendations I would say hyperion 3500mah with the OEM extended cover (as the hyperion one cracks)

Samsung extended is like 2600 so hyperion is like 1000 bigger. Just search this forum for it.

Has anyone had any luck finding decent cases (even TPU) for the OEM extended cover? Amazon's got some kinda-crappy silicon cases for the Trexcell extended battery, but I'm not really a fan.
I have both the OEM extended battery and the Hyperion's. The Hyperion is 3500mAh and the OEM is 2600mAh, however the Hyperion is slightly thinner by a hair, and it runs cooler and has a much longer battery life. You won't have any problem fitting the Hyperion under the OEM extended battery case which is made of a better quality plastic than the Hyperion's that comes with the battery.

I use mine naked.
Hyperion Experience
I just ordered the Hyperion through Amazon and the case for it as well. I'm amazed! Took this phone from one that I can barely make it through 12 hours with minimal use and having GPS, data and wifi off except when I MUST have it (i.e. at lunch) to a totally new level where I have all services running throughout the day and extensive use without a charge for 12+ hours. Should have expected it - the battery has the same capacity as the Razr MAXX.
In reference to the case... Meh... I had the silicone one that I bought through Verizon on day one of owning this phone and it was a nice one. Felt good in the hand, lasted nearly 2 years (still works but not on the extended cover) and protected the phone from my occasional oafish drop. The one I have from Hyperion feels cheap (I guess because it is...), but does its job - I've dropped it a couple of times and had no issues. Only real issues I do have is 1) this case covers the hardware buttons on the bottom. With EP1, EP4 and FP1, this wasn't an issue as the backlighting worked randomly at best. With the FP5 update, I've found that the backlighting appears to function properly and the new cover precludes that. 2) the charging port's cutout was too small for the charger. Initially, I just pulled the cover down and charged it that way but who wants that? UGLY! So... That's what a razor blade is made for... I cut the hole bigger (carefully!) and have had no issue since.
I believe that will be my solution for the covering the hardware buttons backlighting as well...
About to receive my S4 early next week... Was wondering are S3 batteries compatible with S4?

I'm actually trying to find a place that sell only the back cover for the extended battery so that I can re-use the Hyperion extended battery from my S3.

Ah, so i'm guessing then my zeroLemon battery (case) from S3 will not work then eh?
The construction of 2 phones are different.

Hyperion cases usually go on sale solo, i have never seen ZeroLemon though, it's very specific case for these batteries. i doubt they will have cases by themselves.
:crying::crying:
I've seen batteries that are really good. But they are too big. So, what's the best battery in the normal size. I mean in man.
The original battery that the phone came with... but if you are looking for 3rd party manuf. there is a zerolemon brand....

Exactly what I want to know!
Zerolemon 3000mAh probably your best bet. Some users report a slight bulge on the casing when used, while others say that removing the sticker from the battery stops the bulge. Other than that, stock is probably best.
Oops guys i meant in mah.
Mugen makes a 2750 Mah in standard size with NFC. Mugen has an excellent reputation.

I think I've read a couple of reviews about that there was no significant capacity increase which is disappointing considering the fact that it supposedly has more mah :/
With regards,

Expensive but overall good, personally I would prob just get a 2nd with a charger from Sammy
Has anyone tried any of the higher capacity batteries available for the s4 yet to know if they're any good? There are some that claim to be over 3400mAH for example.
I have one of the 3500 mAh batteries from a Chinese company. It is definitely NOT 3500. I notice only a very slight boost if that. Be careful, at least battery isn't worse. Now I have two more batteries and an extra charger for 20 bucks...

I have the 3000mah from zerolemon and a power bank battery case (chromo on amazon) which has 3200mah. From todays experience I was 100% and after couple hours I used my battery case so after 9 hours from starting at 100% im back to being 100% so awesome

I have the Hyperion 5200mah off of Amazon. It's amazing. I'm a heavy user and my phone never dips below 30%. Even on days when I almost never let the phone idle

PolarCell make a 2900 mAh if I'm not mistaken, I've had nothing but positive experience with them. They also make NFC enabled ones.
