Hello, I am looking for battery holder/protectors for the S5 standard batteries. I bought the Anker charging set, but it did not come with any. Here is a picture with what I am talking about http://www.androidcentral.com/sites...rticle_images/2014/05/batt8.jpg?itok=nASfzbQV the little case on the bottom.
Thank you.

Does anyone have the HLI-i500XL battery & cover from Mugen, and if so what are your opinions of it? Do you have any pictures of it?
Sorry, I'm still a noob so I can't post a link.
Thanks.
I have the oem extented battery and door. Used it for one day and hated it cause it kills the biggest feature of the phone which is the fact that its so thin. It just sits in my desk drawer now for emergencys. I would love to find a thin extended battery.

-All slots are easily accessible.
-Comes only in Black.
-The Charger is magnificent turns dark purple when charging and blue when charged.
Protection
5/5
-The case is very sturdy it would break easily I even done a few drop tests and it keep my phone protected even though it's not made for it.
-The battery is well made not one of those cheap leaking ones it's just as good in design if not better than stock Samsung.
-The charger is very well made and I have tested it on both stock battery and the 3500mAh one no problems.
Function
5/5
-The Case protects the phone very good.
-The case is a perfect fit no mess ups here.
-The battery works on both custom rom and STOCK which is a big deal because most 3rd party battery's fail to work on stock
-The battery is very good and last 10x longer than stock I can go 2 days with heavy usage.
-The charger works as should it charges up the battery's fairly fast all the way to 100% from dead in almost under a hour.
-Takes about 4 hours to charge from phone.
-Smart IC chip.
Final Verdict
4.5/5
This is the best battery I have ever had out of all the others I have looked at and tried and I've had bad ones and good ones even leaky ones but this one comes out on top. Sure it has its flaws but so does any product, its doesn't feel flimsy or cheap and offers a good value for anyone looking for a replacement battery. Would I recommend this to my friends heck yea in fact I recommend everyone looking for a replacement to look at one of these and with the price and free shipping its a steal. I am sorry for the focusing it was taken with another fascinate the best camera I have.
I ordered mine from tmart though the product can be located elsewhere shipping was fantastic and packaging was great came unharmed.:highfive:

Nice review brad, I have multiple batteries for my fassy, stock, a Samsung Epic 4g 1800 ( fits perfectly) 2 ANKER 1800 ( came with charger) and also the 3500 which you reviewed. Mine didn't come with a charger though but they will fit in my Anker charger. They make phone fatter but its OK. I wish I could find a silicon cover for the back though. Other than that I'm very pleased with them. :thumbup:

The 3500 comes with its own back, it is thicker. The epic 1800 and Anker ones fit under the original back.

So i pretty muchh fried my OEM s5 battery, been looking on the forums a lot for a good battery to get but everyone who posts them are with extended big ass cases, im looking for a good extended battery that will fit with my OEM back case. any suggestions?
knock off battery often perform worse than stock battery. go and buy an portable charging pack for like 40 bucks off amazon that has a capacity of 15000 mah and can charge androids and iphones. i have one and i love it.
Disclaimer: I was chosen to receive a review unit of the Mugen Power 5900mAh Extended Battery.
So, that being said, I had done some research on their website, as well as googling Galaxy S5 "wireless charging" + "extended battery" and was prepared to like the battery. Mugen appears to be the only company (from google search) that has an extended battery AND wireless charging. This is a preliminary review with initial observations and pictures. I'll update the review after "conditioning" the battery and putting it through a few charging cycles.
PRO's:
On the website, the backcover was not suppose to be IP67 water-resistant (they were working on that, but it wasn't suppose to be wireless charging capable. The model I received is! (See included pictures)
Wireless charging: Worked effortlessly on the Q1 charger I was using with a wireless charging card.
NFC: Worked perfectly.
Design: Very solid and well designed. As you can see in the picture, the wireless connector is solid, the speaker is boxed in, so that sound won't echo in the hollow space, but is directed to the cut-out. Also, the speaker cut-out has a film cover, which the OEM does not. I'm used to having my phone is a case so I'm used to a larger feel in my hand and it feels very comfortable to me.
CON's:
Just one. It would be nice if it included a bumper so that the front of the phone was raised slightly. That being said, Mugen included both a tempered glass screen protector, and a leather-like pouch for the phone. I honestly don't know if that's part of the standard order, but it was a very nice touch.
Lastly, Mugen is based out of Hong Kong, but they are by no means anything like an e-bay cheapy product. Instructions included with battery are written in perfect english. If you've ever gotten an e-bay product from the Far East, I'm sure you know what I mean!
UPDATE 1: After the first charge/discharge cycle, almost 1 day, 8 hours and 7 hours screen on time. Pretty heavy use with Google Maps running screen brightness set to full brightness. After next charge, I'm just going to put it through "normal" use.
UPDATE 2: With light to moderate use, got 3 days, 8 hours, 40 minutes.
Planning on moving up to the S5 from the S4 since the latest Galaxy doesn't have the features it use too. Anyway... I really like your review and even went to Mugen's site and gave it a once over, but I'm not hooked.
Right now I am using a 5200mAh from Anker and for $25 I couldn't have gone wrong. This thing with moderate to heavy use is getting me around 2 days of battery life. Anyway... I'm pretty happy with the Ankers performance, so of course I looked into them for the S5 and I see they offer a whopping 7500mAh for only $40.
Granted you mention Mugen sending you a pouch/case... but their site doesn't mention that... so no idea if that would even be included on every order or if it might have been a limited order/supply kind of deal. Regardless though... I can't seem to justify paying an extra $45 and getting a battery that's 1600mAh smaller than the Anker. Also I have to add that my current S4 Anker hardback sucks... wasn't molded well and sometime pops off as it doesn't fit real snug like it should and I see Mugen uses the same kind of hardback. The S5 Anker uses what looks to be a plastic/rubber combo and fits like a glove.
Appreciate the review though.

Please don't hijack the thread. Feel free to discuss Mugen, otherwise PM the user you're asking. Thanks.
Thanks for the review. If the site advertised / sold the exact same one with the IP67 rating like the one you received. I would purchase one in a heartbeat.
Has anybody tried the power bear 7600mah extended battery. I was looking at the pictures on amazon and it looks like the battery cover is textured instead of being slippery like most of the others.
Reviews on amazon look abit iffy.... also if you look at the picture it says on the battery its a 6400 mAh battery, even tho its described as 7600 mAh battery. And if you read the description its kinda weird....I recently got the Hyperion 8000 mAh battery and i like it so far. The back is slippery tho, and the tpu cases cover one of the mics, but it hasnt really affected my calls, so i left it on
I also noticed that the battery is not the right size from looking at the picture. Also in the description down below it talks about the S5 then the note 4 then the note 2.
