its so cheap and got good customer reviews as you can see ,so i thought maybe i should get this instead of the Pricey ZL/Anker Battery :lhttp://www.amazon.com/Bastex-Samsung-6200mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B00JZZ6CVW/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1407741534&sr=8-17&keywords=galaxy+s5+extended+battery
The battery is possibly the most dangerous part of the phone, I'd rather spend like $10 more and actually get a trusted brand one, especially when someone proved that the MPJ and alot of the unbranded batteries don't hold the advertised capacity. Also because of numerous phones catching fire due to crappy third party batteries.
I'm possibly over reacting, but I would rather over react than be sorry later.

not just cause of shipping mate, i have used their MPJ 5000MAH battery for my s2 it was great but the cover was extremely bad quality it broke after a few drops, the heavy battery inside increases the impact on the cover thus it destroyed it and uh after 3 months of using it i noticed that the battery performance decreased despite of Calibrating it once every month so i had second thoughts on buyin from MPJ again and Purchased the ZL 8500. i hope the speakers are fine with it thats my main concern.

hi all im looking for a extended battery(around 3500mah)and all i have found is chinese crap that cracks and stuff any help the battery door must be as strong or stronger than the stock one and the battery should be 3500mah or over thanks
I think that samsung does not make such strong batteries, so it would be difficult to get one for this phone.

sorry man but you better buy an original one. it would be much better than other fake, i bought a battery that was 1900mah, and in the beginning it was better than the oem but, after couple of mounths it just lost his power and i thowed it out... you can try but the best choice is the original one which looks expencive but it worth it...
My battery is the stock, almost 1 years old and pretty good. Last for 3-4 days, avarage usage. Just don't let the li-ion batteries to drain out full.
Mugen power battery offers +3000 battery plus cover. Price 97 dollars.
I've heard the mugen does offer quite good battery life however your phone will be the size of a small cruise liner.

I talked to someone that used it and said that it worked just fine. It's 3000mAh which is more than double the stock (1450 I believe). I would ask you to wait for me to review it but mine wont come for a week or so because I used cheap shipping. And yes, this battery is bigger, as you can see it comes with a replacement door.

The external charguer doesn't looks bad. Does it really has 9000mAh? Usually this kind of chinese stuff have the half of capacity that they claim.

The max capacity that you can fit under the original battery cover do not usually exceed 1800-2000 mAh in general, everything higher requires either a bigger cover or can be considered as total fake advertisement

A lot of people tell me to wait for zerolemon's extended battery for S4.. but WHAT GOES ON? when it will be released? as far as it seems nobody knows.. so why the ___ people keep saying "wait for zerolemon" when they have no idea when or if it will be out
why not buying on of those batteries what is wrong with them?
buying this: (trexcell, 5200mah, NFC+GOOGLE WALLET enabled)

or this: (hyperion, 5200mah, NFC+GOOGLE WALLET enabled)

Do you want a 7500 mah with NFC?
If yes, then wait. No? Then buy the alternatives. Simple.
More than likely my fellow XDA members want their colleagues to get more "bang for their buck" so to speak.

I looked...
The ones the other poster linked, if you click a product, the seller is listed as "ZeroLemon".
The ones you link have the seller listed as "ZeroLemon LLC"... and if you click the comapny name, it give only a list of unavailable products, while clicking the name of the seller in the other opens up a page full of products.
This is a common scam technique, to use a very similar name to a real company to sell fake items or otherwise scam customers.
As for as waiting or not... If the Hyperion making these phone batteries is the same Hyperion that makes batteries for RC use... then the Hyperion batteries should be high quality items.
Hi
I would like to know what Brands will make S4 battery for 7000mAh & up
ZeroLemon, Hyperion, Mugen, Anker, etc
with NFC if possible
Also they have the wireless charging back cover
that would be awesome

My 5200mAh extended battery is lasting me about a day and a half with heavy use, and about 3 days with moderite use. But I have found myself still charging it every night so it really wont do me any good going larger than 5200.

I got the Hyperion 5200 battery and I have to agree with some of the posts here that it is pointless to get a higher capacity.after 20 hours of usage (the regular battery usually died after 14)I had 45% battery left even though i tried my best to drain the battery before going to sleep and putting the phone on the charger.
it is worth to wait a 7500mah
7500mAH i guess it is almost human being limited for battery producing from zero lemon battery picture,it is hard to believe.....2600mah+4900mah if 4900mah composed by two battery,which battery chips they use? question
ok ok I know this has been talked about in the passed but have gave it some time any bigger battery worth buying that will still fit in the back of the phone same size as manufacture but more power!!! just checking thanks!

ZeroLemon has one coming out soon, @3000 mAh
Anker has a 2750 mAh battery avaliable (150 more then stock, for double the price... have fun with that...)
basically any other stock size battery you see on ebay advertised as stock sized with 3000+ mAh is a scam and you should AVOID it like the plague.

I suspect 3000mah maybe pushing it. I would even invest in something portable like a battery pack than a 7500 mah battery which weigh 2x.

A portable pack is definitely useful to have around. In addition to my ZeroLemon 7500mah battery, I also own a PowerGen 9000mah battery pack that can output 2A or 0.5A. It charges the S4 very quickly.

Are you talking about the cheap piece of plastic on the back? Lol, no problem spending an extra 5 or so bucks replacing that (1x maybe 2x per year max). Hopefully there will be a better aftermarket battery door that will last longer. Either way its the least of my worries.

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).

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.

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

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
