I’ve had a 4200mah external battery case from mpj since last Friday. It definitely feels like a quality product and my S6 won’t run out during one day of use now, but how can I make sure that the case is 4200mah?
Thanks.

My wife and I have both had t-mobile g2's for almost 2 years now. I had wanted to get addition batteries or replacement higher capacity batteries for a while. There were plenty of cheap batteries on ebay that claimed 1500 or 1600 mAh that would theoretically be an upgrade over a stock battery but it would be a relatively small upgrade and might not even really be an upgrade if they didn't actually live up to their advertised capacity so I had been procrastinating doing anything. Two things changed and I finally stopped procrastinating. First we decided we were going to keep our g2's for about another year. Second I noticed a number of Gold Business Batteries showing up on ebay at a relatively cheap price. They claimed a really high 2450mAh which I figured was not realistic but even if it fell well short of that it should still be a good upgrade. You can find them on ebay with a search for Desire Z gold battery. Can't post a link yet =)
Ordering and shipping was pretty much what you'd expect for cheap ebay purchases from china. The description was poor and communication with the seller was in broken English but I had no major issues. I just selected the cheapest seller at the time and I'm not even sure if that seller is still selling the batteries now. Shipping was predictably slow and packaging was minimal but everything arrived undamaged and is working fine.
The batteries seem to be a little tighter fit than the OEM batteries which seems to be a common complaint about these replacement batteries. I suspect that they would fit better if you removed the "gold" label as it seems to be somewhat stiff and thick for a label but I haven't tried that yet.
No surprise but the batteries don't seem to live up to their claimed capacity. I installed a battery monitor app and ran several full cycles on my battery and it came up with a measured capacity of ~1850mAh. I haven't tried to do the same on my wife's battery but it is enough of an improvement over our original OEM batteries that it is easily noticeable and she has commented on it and prefers the new battery. We got a charger with one of the batteries so she could easily swap batteries rather than charging the battery in the phone but she prefers to charge the gold battery and not swap back to the OEM battery unless she has to. My impression is the same. The new battery definitely lasts longer and was a nice improvement.
I no longer have the battery monitor installed (flashed to a CM9 Mod now) but after a couple months of use I subjectively haven't noticed a large drop in performance for the batteries.
Short review-
Good capacity cheap battery that doesn't require a replacement battery cover and I'd recommend them or by another in the future.
THX for your return man
I agree with OP's assessment. Definitely better than stock. I also notice that they get a lot less HOT than stock battery, which often felt like it would burn a hole in my pants. This battery produces no significant heat. Key word is "significant" since it is obviously impossible to produce NO heat. I suspect that the increased capacity compared to stock is due to much less energy lost as heat.
Just ordered a 2680mah one. Will report back when tested. With any luck it'll come before the weekend as my trip to London will be a good test.

Even though I did not want to change my case, I purchased an extended battery. Really love T699’s bulkier size and prefer precision typing,but my biggest gripe after almost one year of using the phone is its battery life. Received the Mpj 5000 mah battery and I have to admit it’s a dramatic improvement over stock. I am able to tell it definitely double my battery life. Actually I’ve also bought a slim OEM battery claimed extended battery life off ebay months ago but just wish I could retrieve my money, couldn't be more different lol.
Good to know... I'm thinking about this too.
Did You carry phone in the trouser pocket? Isn't too big?! I'm little bit afraid...

I currently have a Galaxy S5 as my work phone which has been awesome. I think most Galaxy phones look similar but so far, over all, this is a real good phone.
Now a larger battery would be a plus since it need to receive emails, and make a lot of calls during the day on the road.
Stumbled upon review of a MPJ 8200 mah battery on youtube last night.
I've never seen anyone used extended battery and a total lack of understanding on it, is their price reasonable? What should be paid attention when using extended batteries?
Thank you for any suggestion in advanced.

alright buddy, what you should consider the most is the Bulkiness < almost every extended battery out there for the s5 that exceeds 5400MAH will probably triple the weight of your s5 , i personally chose the ZeroLemon 8500MAH battery because its a well known company for making batteries, i have previously used the MPJ battery for my S2 and it was not bad i liked it ! and plus its way cheaper than ZeroLemon products, but the thing is now alot of people complain about the Shipping Delays it takes them months to get their product from MPJ
i would suggest you to look into either ZeroLemon or Anker both are doing great but keep in mind they will wear down over time meaning you would only enjoy supeer looong battery life for less than a year i believe, and also the worst thing about it is the Heaviness , the heaviness about it is the only thing that bothers me the most.
best one ive seen http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2H7GLI/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2S56I9NV45MVV
Or if you want a better and bigger battery AND better case for protection, PLUS a screen protector, CLICK HERE
Another consideration is the Hyperion 6500 mAh extended battery and TPU protective case. It is not as bulky as the Zerolemon 8500.
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?
I tried to buy a supposedly genuine s7 battery from replacebase here in the UK, but it seems to last even less than my old, used battery.
After a couple weeks of using it, AccuBattery is reporting the capacity as 1800mAh, rather than the 3000 design capacity, so something is clearly not right.
While looking for genuine replacement batteries, I also wanted to see if there's any batteries available that are higher capacity than the default 3000mAh. The only one I could see is made by Polarcell, a german firm, and comes in at 3200mAh in the same size. It has good reviews so I would assume the capacity is genuine.
From a few xda posts like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/themes/note-7-note-8-battery-t3706904 it seems like the note 8 battery is also about the same size as the one in the s7, while having 3300mAh (10% higher capacity)
I was wondering if anyone has tried to fit a note 8 battery in their s7. Might give it a go if nobody has tried yet
