1600mAh battery from Ebay

i bought there cheap batteries from Ebay (12$ for two)
i am surprised to find that they did last longer than the stock battery.
what a good deal
i am using LeeDroid GB3.30 rom,
using the "Battery Monitoring Widget"'s estimate
the battery will last seven days if left on idle status.

So you're saying that in testing through actual usage you've seen better results?
All conditions being the same, you've determined that the new battery gives you a longer amount of time between charges than the stock battery does?

yes, it last longer than the stock battery.

I bought three of these batteries, because they were like $1 each from China, and all of them are no different than the stock. Grab a tool and check the actual capacity and you will see that they are exactly the same spec as the OEM battery.
By the way, this is very old news. Did you search before posting? I didn't think so.

JK or not, he never did say it was an "internal" battery.

I bought one of these, isn't really 1600 but works good as a spare once my original dies completely.

I was thinking about buying a 1500 mah battery from ebay then I read a thread stating that the Inspire 4g stock battery lasted longer. The "Mah" rating is not industry regulated so basicly a manufacture can put 1600 mah on a battery thats 1100 mah without getting reprimanded or fined. So be carefull where you buy these batterys from and make sure the Co. is reputable first.

...for any given LiION battery of a given size, pretty much x capacity is the result +- a very negligible amount...really...that's the state of the tech...ebay is full of peeps wanting to sell "magic" to other peeps wanting a something as elusive as "battery life" of a smart phone...really...snake oil...

What sellers are you buying these cheap batteries from?

EVERY seller on ebay not selling an OEM battery.

or you could just copmlain to ATT that your battery sucks and get one sent to you FREE under warranty

I had bought 2 Chinese batteries on eBay and they r worse than the stock battery helpful if your battery dies but none the less waste of money

The technology itself is the cap. For this size this is the most juice you are going to get, unless they figure out a way to pack more energy cells into the same amount of space. Which they haven't. Don't be fooled. The battery that came with phone is the best available for this phone.

I got some extended batteries and found I had to fully charge them then wipe the battery stats run it down to 0 then charge it to 100 before I saw an improvement, but now I can get like 13 or 14 hours of use on average. I also like being able to carry around a spare battery

All that did is calibrate the battery. It's not going to hold any more juice than the space allows. It's physics. Until a new technology comes out...
I get better battery life than that and I have never changed my battery.

what is the name of this battery?

Reliable batteries that don't lose capacity?

I work as a firefighter/paramedic so I have long periods of time where I can't charge my phone...I've purchased several batteries from ebay, the classic white/black ones with charger for 11 bucks...i even got the extended one too...
But they all seem to die in 4 hours...the first couple days they last for a long time...the whole day...but as time goes on, they last less and less time.
I've tried several roms currently on thunderbird but think I am going to try ICS... but I think the batteries are the culprit. Any ideas?

Also if u think batteries are to blame it may be your from. Very easy to Odin stock to compare. This battery lasts

I have an oem 1800 battery and 2 extended batteries. I like the samsung oem 1800 the best. Yes the other batteries last longer but not by much. I only use my extended batteris with fat back if I am going to be away from a charger for a while or plan on gaming for a while.

This is why Samsung needs to make their own OEM fat battery , the 1800mAh is great but I won't take it seriously until it matches the price of the "3500" batteries

We have 3 epics in my family, so I got 3 for $7 each from eBay - probably the same one you have. We've only had them for about a week, but they work great for us so far.

Yeah...I just got my 3500MaH in today. Running videos back to back so as to run the battery down and charge to full. for $7.69 plus the $5 for Express Shipping, I jumped on it like a starving man jumps on a steak. Came with 28% charge...took about 2+ hrs to run it down til it shut itself off. Charging it as I type this comment.
[Edit 1] OK, I've fully recharged and calibrated the battery. One short call and a movie. Battery went from 100% down to 62% then 55% in less than 2 minutes. I rebooted and it suddenly dropped down to 15% within a 3hr period. Will try a 2nd recharge to see if it does any better.
[Edit 2] After fully recharging and calibrating a 2nd time, the battery drain is a lil better. Now 90% after being off charger for 4hrs 24 mins. Hopefully, it'll be even better after a 3rd recharge.

86% after 8 hours??? Maybe on airplane mode.

I also agree with the ET4G 1800mah OEM battery. They are 20% more MAH than stock and last almost exactly 20% longer.
When you say your phone dies in 4 hrs, is that 4 hrs of constant screen on time, or 4 hrs of idle/sitting around time? 4 hours of screen on is going to be pretty good for this phone and I could not get that much on the stock battery. With the 1800mah I could probably get a bit over 4 hours screen on time.
On the other hand if your phone is dying after 4 hours of mostly sitting idle, you've got a problem, most likely a software problem. Flash back to stock, fully charge the battery, and then give it a test and see what happens.

Best aftermarket battery?

Hello
Im going to put a larger capacity battery in my Desire Z and I wanted some recommendations. Also, normal sizes (as in demensions); None that come with a additional cover to compensate for the normal size this making the phone bigger.

Ankers 1600mAh, lasts for me more than 2 days between charges. Got mine for a fiver off eBay, brand new.

Hi,
I'll also went with the Anker. 2 Days without charging even when using custom roms... Definetely a good choice for this Price!

riahc3, if you ask for advice, don't argue about there being higher capacity batteries, if you want the mugen go get it, but if you asked advice in the first place then don't get annoyed when people don't give you the answer you want to hear. Sorry, that's just the way I see it.
If you're after numbers rather than advice, take both. Look at my screenies, yeah I know I'm a light user, under clocked and had a sneaky charge in between but this was on CM10.1 build 15 which supposedly has battery problems, and as you can see I listened to music for a couple of hours as well. Also everyone else here has gotten at least 2 days between charge with Ankers.

I am also thinking about buying a new battery but I think that it doesn't matter how much mAh of the battery has. I think that real question is how will be after 6 months of usage. Most of these aftermarket batteries are start good but after few weeks or months they become useless. So we need real user feedback. Is there anyone who uses any of the aftermarket battery more than few months?
I've started to use JellyBaby v1.5 ROM and I've decided to buy new battery instead of new device.

I've been using the Mugen battery for over two years now. Still get good battery life, although playing games drains it pretty fast. I can last two full days if I try, but it's pushing it. One day is easy.

2 day is sufficient

I don't know about battery life of iPhone 5, S3, Note2, etc but I think that under normal circumstances battery life of our phones should be 2 days.
Do you use home-screen widget or lock screen widget? Does they have any effect on battery life?

aftermarket battery? you're better off getting a oem, a lot of aftermarkets don't live up to the levels they advertise.
I recommend the evo 4g design battery, it fits perfect in our devices at a whopping 1520 mah compared to stock's 1300mah

A 200 mah difference wont matter
But 3 times stock mah means something

*I am looking for something with more than 2600maH that is also the same size as the stock battery. I dont want a battery that ends up making a bulge in the back of my phone, or end up getting a super fat battery and needing a large back cover*

I picked up 2 zerolemon 3000mah extended batteries and a charger for $21 on amazon. They are slightly thicker but hardly noticeable. My factory Samsung back cover still fits just fine.

Hey mate, is it safe to put a much bigger battery than the stock ??
Will it be an issue during charge ??

CBS, using a bigger battery than stock is fine. I've used 7-8 and4oid phones with extended batteries and have never had an issue. they will however take longer to charge due to the increased size.
I used to use a zerolemon 7500 mah battery in my galaxy s3. It was great. Took twice the time to charge but well worth it. Only plug it in to charge at night.

No problem. Sounds like a 7500 mah battery sounds like it will suit your needs. Internet, gaming, streaming movies and music will take it's toll on even the best batteries. A 7500 mah battery will last me all day with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and gps all day for work. The average user will get 1-3 days depending on use. With the right rom and kernel can do wonders.

Glad I could help. I haven't used the NFC on my s3 or my s4. I tried playing with it but it's not a need. You guys will be happy to know if you buy a wireless charging receiver it will fit under the stock battery cover as well with the zl 3000 mah battery. I love wireless charging. No more laying in bed and reaching around on the floor in the dark trying to find the cord for my phone.

Note 4 Anker battery

How are you guys feeling about this battery? I decided to try it out, back when I had the GS3 I bought one of those 9000mah batteries and it was an extremely rare day that I went below 50% battery, so I went for the 6000mah anker battery here since it is cheaper.
I definitely feel like it has extended life, but it feels like it's only about 50% better as opposed to 100% longer life. I can usually make it to the end of the day now, whereas before I was putting it on the charger when I'd get home from work every day.

It all depends on the use of the phone. I know people that make 3 days use with Zerolemon and some make 18 hrs.

I bought the 2 ankar batteries that a rotate with the OEM. they are very good and worth the money.
only complaint would be there is a plastic piece on the bottem of the battery that locks it into place. I left it in my car a couple time and it melted and fell off. so now on one of the batterys it fits loose and sometime makes my phone reboot from being knocked around. but i added some tape to the bottem and it fixed the lock and i dont have the problem anymore. it only happened with one of the batteries.

is the battery life better on the anker one? than the original samsung battery

I posted (at length) on my experience with the 3220mah battery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60356709&postcount=7
Hope that helps

I just got the Anker 3220 last week & so far it does seem to do a little bit better than the stock battery. Not by much, but I've definitely noticed that I don't need to put on on the charger as much.
