high capacity batteries - Galaxy S I9000 Accessories

Hello guys, I wonder if you can help me at all. I have a Samsung gt-i9000 running android 4.3 at the moment . When I upgraded the OS (I was on 4.0) I have noticed that the battery life decreased dramatically, It lasts no longer than half a day. I have already changed one battery but with not much success, so
I started to look into high capacity ones. I had a look around and found a few reviews here and there but not specifically for the gt-i9000 – even this useful one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956293 . So I wonder:
1)has anybody tried one of these high capacity batteries on the gt-i9000? I looked at the zerolemon 7500mAh and the anker 52000mAh - although I don't know whether these are compatible with my phone;
2)I presume that the high capacity batteries are actually thicker than the default 1500mAh I have at the moment, so when you buy one do they come with another back cover?

Hi, I recently bought a Polarcell 1800mAh battery on Ebay which gives me half a day more juice on Galaxy running CM 10.2. I found out that all batteries above this capacity are massively thicker than the original one and do require a wider back cover. Most of these bigger ones are shipped together with a back cover.
Regarding your questions about the zerolemon, I only found batteries for the S2 and the S3 which wont fit for the S1.

not your battery at fault, sounds like you got wakelock issues. with your rom.

thanks guys.
 @zegovernator I think I need something more powerful than 1800mAh so I might need to get a bulky one. I have found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3000mAh-B...-Extended-with-Black-back-cover-/150981110923 that seems to be good enough.
 @slybunda, thanks for your comment. If it is an issue with that, would you know how to fix it without me buying another battery?
thanks

use app called better battery stats and see the individual wakelocks I had issues with google currents and hangouts both which I don't use so I disabled them and got my full battery life back. have a look for one of my posts in the i9000 battery threads got screenshots of very good battery life

Got 1800 battery from Anker, very good.
Only charges slowly with the car adapter.
Depends on kernel and rom for how long it lasts.. Was very good using android 4.3 but recently battery was discharging fast after gapps update.
Fine again now on kitkat

Buy from Ebay 1800 in good price,I did =)

Battery suggestions?

I'm planning on buying a higher capacity batter for my DHD: any suggestions? I don't want a bulky external battery, the thing is big enough as it is.
I found this on eBay, but it seems waaay too good to be true.. Is there a risk of it exploding in my pocket, or just of it being really crappy?
Are the Mugen (1500mAh) or Andida (1800mAh) batteries any good?
Any answers will be appreciated
Thanks
From what I've read, the Mugen batteries are good but they don't make too much of a difference in normal usage. I really doubt there can be such a huge jump in mAh without any increase in size as the two batteries suggest. 1500 mAh seems plausible, but 1800 mAh seems very unlikely. The actual capacity will be much less than advertised, hence the not so great performance improvement.
In my opinion, (if you haven't done this already) you'd be better off rooting your phone and installing one of many custom ROMs here which give excellent battery life over the stock ROM. I get around 18 hours of moderate to heavy usage and more than a day of light usage. Also, I keep 2 standard batteries. The battery life offered by that combination is much better than a single higher capacity battery, and the HTC battery costs a lot less too.

I want a higher capacity battery also! any one have suggestions?
Thanks for your answer I might go for the spare battery, even though I probably won't ever have it on me when I actually need it
As you can see from my sig, I have installed RCMix's latest custom ROM, but while it adds lots of great features, my battery life is actually shorter than with stock.

Yeah I tried RCMix3d Runny 4.0 and found the battery life quite bad too. Even with killersloth's UV scripts and all that. That and average GPS performance (~6 satellites usually, weak lock) were the only problems with it. The RCTweaks are awesome.
For the best battery life and fast GPS lock (~10 satellites strong lock), from my trials, I've found that these ROMs give the best performance -

It's not too much of a bother once you make it a habit, and it's helped me out in quite a few situations.

If you're going to buy a replacement battery, get an OEM one (0% improvement over stock ) or get the Mugen 1500mAh - that may just get you through to the end of the day.
Definitely, install a different ROM, and look at the clockspeed options you're given (or just install OC/UV Beater) You can overclock or underclock, and also play with undervolting, which improves efficiency.
Also consider network management, screen brightness etc -an easy way to do so is to use Juice Defender, though the purists say all their options can be effected manually.
And if all else fails, you can carry a battery pack around http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Trent-D...1OK4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1326811038&sr=8-3 this is 5000mAh, these people produce an 11000mAh version. My 5000mAh pack is great for sticking in the rucksack on a long day out with GPS enabled, cost about GBP20 - of all the options I evaluated, this is best value for money - also no need to switch phone off, vs changing the battery). Their customer service was very responsive when I told them that the charging cable wasn't working
Don´t waste your money in chinese batteries.I tried a few myself.If you really need it,the best thing is to buy anther OEM one.
Mugen's 1500 battery shows about 15% better capacity than my almost year-old stock one (1270 vs. 1095mAh, as measured by the battery monitor widget, after its first 4 cycles). Does not look quite like 1500mAh, but I guess the stock one never did register 1320mAh in that measurement either - it's either a systematic error, residual change or something...

The original htc sensation battery has 1520mAh and costs a lot less than the one from mugen. And i'd say you can trust original htc batteries more than anything found on ebay

I have an (china) battery from ebay with 1600 mAh. the battery life on our phones is really really poor. I heavily used my phone of the day an i only get a battery life from 6-8 hours, and thats really bad. So i found that no battery is even better than the original.
Though Mugen is not a perfect solution, it is better than stock batt.
Don't just go for price when you are buying batteries too, especially those dirt cheap china batteries. I bought a few before, it bloated up after a few months of usage.
hi, can some one suggest me(I am heavy user) witch is the best battery for DHD and best place to buy ?
Thanks
Due to DHD specialty, there can be used batteries with the capacity not more than 1500 mAh. All the numbers more than 1500 are either lie, or mean that battery is thicker than DHD body can support.

That's why you've got three options:
1) use multiple batteries (not really an option)
2) use an external charger (better, but i don't want to carry around more than the phone)
3) if you use a protective case then get a sensation battery....mines got 1900mAh and fits nicely into my DHD
You can also use a secour / external battery .You can reload four or five time you phon whit.
I have one extra 1230mAh battery & an Energizer XP2000 Portable charger. But to my opinion, adjusting your phone-charging habits makes all the difference. Anticipate with respect to your day's routine.
Though, I'm looking forward for the GSM version of Motorola Droid Maxx, or for any other that rivals its battery capacity.
p.s. charging extra batteries individual would be nice. I should try modding some usb cable to connect directly to the battery contacts, hmmmm...

1500mah "OEM" Battery?

Has anyone purchased one of these so-called OEM batteries?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OEM-1500mAh-...141606?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255ecad726
This one claims to be a Desire Z OEM battery rated at 1500mah. Isn't the OEM battery only 1300mah or was there another one that was released?
Also, has anyone any luck with the 3500mah ebay extended batteries? How are the doors and are they at least 2600mah?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/3500mAh-Exte...863751?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5642245107
Yeah, I see on T-Mobile's website, the G2 also has 1300mAh. I wouldn't recommend buying a third party battery though, just watch this video about a PSP having a third party battery.
http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/psp-explodes-in-pocket/172723
It's a matter of buying a good, name brand battery. 3rd party or OEM doesn't matter if it's a good quality and the listed mAh rating is accurate. You get what you pay for 90% of the time...
eBay is filled with counterfeits, and lots of items marked "OEM" when they aren't OEM. I'd stay away from buying things like batteries and SD memory from eBay, unless you know for fact the seller is offering legit goods.
The pic looks hokey, also. It looks like a stick-on label, instead of the screen printing I've see on HTC OEM batteries. I'd be willing to bet this is a knockoff, misrepresented by seller, etc.
I can vouche for HTCpedia having purchased several extended batteries from there myself
Here's there Desire Z section
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-desire-z/accessories/batteries.html
I recently purchased the Anker, I believe, 1600mah from amazon. Battery life is better than the OEM.
I would personally stick with the stock 1300mah battery, and UC the cpu to save battery life. Unless your original battery has gone bad and you need to replace it altogether. I'm always weary about 3rd party accessories.

The Incredible S has a 1500mah battery that's the same size. I'm not sure where to get one in Canada though (can anyone enlighten me?).
For that matter, if the Anker is available in Canada I'd be interested in knowing where too.
I have links below that sell Anker Batteries.

Based on the price for the battery listed, this may be a little out of your range, but I picked up this one on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8RWLG
And it really picked up the slack from the 1300mah OEM battery, and still fits under the stock battery cover
HTH
Battery life on my G2, even when overclocked to 1512Mhz on the stock CM kernel, is pretty good. HTC has been really slacking off with battery life lately *coughDOUBLESHOTcough*.
Well, I've received my Anker 1600mah battery.
Since it doesn't claim the world, I'm thinking it might actually be true (unlike the Seidio or Mugen "1900mah" batteries that end up only 1300mah).
Even if it's just 1300mah, the price is right =)
Can you post any "Better battery stats" logs or verify how much capacity it actually has?
Interestingly enough, I have some records from the tests I've been running this weekend. This battery has been surprisingly decent considering I only expected 1300mah (from the advertised 1600mah) out of it.
Code:
ILWT 285
1.5GHz Performance
Airplane Mode
Minimum brightness
MX Player SW Fast
Stretch Mute
Battery discharged to 89% before recharging back to 100% waiting for the trickle recharge to stop before starting video and unplugging. Device running until 15% warning which is dismissed and then run until device auto shuts off.
Anker - Claimed 1600mah
375minutes
~250ma
1562mah
97.6%
HTC OEM 1300mah (1.5 years old)
274minutes
~250ma
1141mah
87.8%
I also ran another test with slightly different settings (which meant it couldn't be compared) where the average drain was 300ma:
319minutes
~300ma
1595mah
99.7%
The test is as consistent as I could make it since I only have my phone to discharge the battery with.
With that said, I have heard some non-OEM batteries lose their capacities faster than the OEM ones. I plan to do this test again at the 1 year mark.
I haven't tried those "OEM" batteries before but I've heard a lot of good reports on the "MUGEN" ones. Supposedly, if you follow the instructions, it'll function as it's suppose to (meaning it'll last long).

I'd recommend anyone looking for a extended battery to get a EVO Design 4G battery! It fits in our device perfectly at 1520 mah A BIG JUMP from our 1300 mah stock oem batteries.
Most if not all 'after market' batteries die out quicker and don't live up to the battery life that there claiming to. . .
Here's a few tests that were run on all batteries (stock and after market) and HTC's stock batteries performed the best giving the mah and battery life that they claimed to

Improving battery life

Hi all,
I would like to make my battery life for my phone better. I would like the opinion about external batteries and after market batteries. I just don't know what to buy. Should I buy both?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I've heard stories that Juice Defender in the market is worth it, may want to check out the free version.
I also recommend the stock battery for the EVO Design 4G, fits perfect in our G2/Desire Z and gives a little kick over stock. If you are looking for a monster extended battery that requires a new battery door, check out the battery thread in Accessories.
A lot of folks on here swear by so called "higher capacity" 3rd party batteries like Seidio and others.
But a while back, a guy on here did a bunch of testing of various 3rd party and OEM batteries on various phones. He found that the expensive, so called "high capacity" or extended 3rd party batteries almost never met their rated mAh. And often even tested lower than the stock (lower rated) OEM battery.
He wrote up his test methodology and results very comprehensively. It looked to be done pretty scientifically, and I take more stock in this than anecdotal evidence. Can't find it right now, but its a great writeup.
If your looking for a bigger battery I can vouch for the extended ones @ htcpedia, Having purchased a few myself.
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-desire-z/accessories/batteries.html
That aside your can try flashing a different kernel, for better battery life.
I have the Mugan 1800mah, after flashing a new radio (the newest one from T Mobile) and the matching RiL files my battery is lasting longer. So far on a single charge and moderate use I am getting around 36 hours.
I brought this CHICITECH set (2x1900mah batteries and a wall charger) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220648053...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1427.l2649#ht_5383wt_1185 and they arrived about 7 working days after in the UK.
I only got them yesterday, but already i have noticed a big difference. I had a stock battery before but these are lasting between 30 and 50% longer. I have heard good reviews about them before and they seem good so far.
You do need to remove the sticker and cut off a small bit of plastic to make them fit reasonably, but for the price your getting what appear to be 2 good batteries. Mugen slim batteries are a ripoff IMO.
So EVO 4G batteries would fit with some modifying? Hmm i think an external battery would be better for my use than carrying spares.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Get 2 batteries and keep one charged in your wallet, works a treat and doesnt add bulk
Just out of curiosity how long does ur average battery last? I can usually squeeze ~14 hours with moderate use. if u don't want the bulky feel I would suggest just getting another oem battery as a spare
Idea:
Grab one of those Energizer charge-on-the-go things with a micro-usb plug and use that to rapid charge your phone when you need a boost mid-day.
http://static.phonesreview.co.uk/wp-content/phoneimages/2011/05/Energizer-Energi-to-Go-pic-1.jpg
^ Just an idea.. I would substitute the lithium batteries with rechargables so that you can charge those up overnight and have them ready for the day too.
I have the stock battery and it can last about 19hrs on moderate use (10hrs on heavy) on Virtuous Quattro overclocked to 1.2GHz. Never had my phone die on me even when I ran Sense ROMs (after a 3 day break in period =p)

I don't know if you've tried juice defender app before but I think it helps. Not a lot but you can tell that it improves a little. I think the app kills the date, wifi, when it's in sleep mode and turns back on when you wake and use your phone.

Extra battery comparison

So I have the TMobile S4, the regular battery, Anker's 2600 mAh batteries, and unbranded 3000 mAh batteries from ebay.

As a general rule of thumb, it won't ever last as long. You can't put more battery into the same space ( generally speaking ) or it would come that way from the factory. To get a bigger charge battery, you get a bigger ( physical ) battery along with the new phone back.

I feel the anker battery is a bit stronger than the stock, and the ebay batteries go way too quick, so I really wanted to test them. I figured the ebay battery would be a little thicker and I'd leave the back cover off, but the case on, but it still fits under the cover.

New battery for the S4

Hello guys,
I am only getting 2h SoT on my S4, the phone gets really hoooot and the battery got "bigger", so it's dying. Which one is probably the best one to get? Anker, Zerolemon, Ravpower or anything else? I used some Anker ones on my previous phone and was quite happy with them.
How much SoT/battery life could I expect on a battery like these?
Cheers!

Some people said that ZeroLemon fixed the stuffy audio problem on their batteries now it has a space above the speaker, so you'll not have problems with/about this.
Never bought an Anker battery, i cant say too much about it, there are another threads about this battery in this section. But comparing ZL and Anker both have similar results.
I dont Know RavPower.
I have an ZeroLemon myself, everyday i got 9-12h screen, even after 1 year.
I bought one of these.

I got a RAV Power battery for my S4 off of Amazon for 12 EUR and I've been using it for a week, on stock vanilla firmware (but this is another story).
I get out in the morning at 8.30am and I use my S4 in the car for navigation (Waze) and music (TuneIn Radio or Google Play Music) for 1h a day (30 mins in the morning and 30 mins in the evening), then some calls, emails, whatsapp, etc. (no games or exotic stuff) and I usually get back home with a 40% battery around 7pm.
A colleague at work bought a Duracell after market battery for 24.50 EUR and he's not satisfied as the new battery gets very hot during simple use and he have to charge it at least one time during the day.
It has been just a week, but I'm pretty satisfied with this RAV Power battery!
Zerolemon 7500mah user here nothing to complain about.
Music sounds good because it has a gap between the battery and the speaker it actually made the sound better or somewhat amplified because it has space inside the TPU case that comes with it.
Using this 7500mah for close to 2 years now and still gives me 10-12hrs SOT max per day.
I use iPhone charger 1A and charge it only when i sleep, upon waking up its full charge.
after inheriting a S4 im not very happy with battery life, its a replacement off the bay..ie fake..so which one should i go for,,im in the uk so i dont think all the battery makes are available to me easily..cheers

im actually in two minds wheather the battery is knackered, i put it in safe mode last night and it drained 6%, maybe a app is causing it, gsam battery stats doesnt tell me anything is draining it, maybe im over thinking it and just need a new battery full stop, the last one was a cheapo off the bay
one thing i did notice is when i charge it to 100% gsam is telling me its at 1200mah, weird
If you're in Canada and want a cheap fix, the Source is clearing out some $0.96 CAD battery cases for the S4 (and S3). Lots of trade-offs with using a battery case, but it's the cheapest solution.

I bought a "NFC-compatible" Perfine battery and the NFC didn't work.
I'm a big fan of MPJ batteries - the standard size are maybe 10% better than stock, and I personally rock a 8,500mah battery all the time. Used on the S4, Note 3, Note 1, and others.

That's pretty good for a stock capacity battery
I bought a few days ago a 5.050mAh HSA battery the same size as Samsung, I'm waiting for the arrival. I had one on my Optimus G and it lasted a long time. Highly recommend!
