The battery in my V10 is 3000 mAh. I saw one on Ebay that claimed 3800 mAh. Is that possible in a battery this size? I know a lot of off brand name batteries inflate the numbers to sell them. I wonder if this is the same. Do any of you have a standard slim battery that is over 3000 mAh?
There is batterys for the LG V10 that can go up to 9000 mAh and higher. They are NOT inflated numbers. The only thing about these batterys is that you will have to have a thicker case.

I tried it but the stock battery lasted longer. I don't recommend it and if anyone else finds a another brand let me know. I'm always willing to try all available options

Right now I want a standard sized battery, highest capacity possible. I have only seen one option like you are referring to, and I do not like the case. We will probably see more options in the future as this is still a new phone model.

I am sorry to say, but until the technology progresses, the battery will only increase in size as the mAh increases. IF the 3800 battery you speak of is the same size as the stock battery, it is bull**** and will not be 3800 mAh. If its a shady seller, it could be a even less than stock. Please be wary of these people in the future.

I agree with you 100%! I am still willing to bet that a battery can be made with a higher capacity than the stock one, and have the battery size stay the same. There is a limit to how much capacity can be squeezed into a battery this size, and as you say, when that is exceeded, the battery size has to increase. I just have not owned a mobile phone in a few years that had a removable battery. I was able to find higher capacity, standard sized ones in my other phones, just hoping I will find one for the V10 that is actually the rating on the battery. Amazon has several that are rated as 3300 mAh, but I am not sure if the performance difference on those would be noticeable, even assuming that the specs are legit. If somebody comes out with a super high capacity larger battery with a good case, I may try that.
Well 3300mAh is maybe real. I noticed that the stock battery continues to charge for around 1 to 1.5 hours after you see the "battery charge complete" message. Looking at the charge current with abttery monitor widget it looks like the stock battery when charged fully till charge current becomes zero has in fact 3200 to 3300 mAh capacity. When i do this i also see that my battery sits at 100% for several hours before starting to drop which confirms that. So maybe these 3300mAh batteries are really with such capacity but nevertheless they will not give you better battery life than the stock battery.

I'm considering shelling out the 50 bucks for a 1700mha battery from Mugen.
I'm using an LG Quantum with the stock 1500. Anyone ever use one? Does it extend the life that much to be worth it?
...I also saw their monster 3400. The life would be great, but no thanks on the bulk-factor.

quick math tells me that the energy storage capacity for the 1700 is roughly 10% increase. Remember:
mAh = milli amp-hours. The number of hours the battery can sustain a one milli amp drain and is equivalent to the battery's capacity.
I do not believe it's worth the upgrade at that price. Also keep in mind that it will take longer to charge a higher capacity battery.

Interesting, I did not know that.
Many thanks for the advice. With that logic, no it's probably not a very good idea.
yeah... 10% increase is not worthed.. unless you go from 1300 to 1800 as in my mozart.. big increase
Also keep in mind these non OEM batteries may say 1800+ mAH, but the overall battery quality can be awful. I've heard some horror stories of leaking batteries, and the overall total capacity going down after only about a month or 2 of use.
HTC Arrive user here and I was using a 1800mah battery (coming from a 1500mah) and I say its worth it...straight up destroys the 1500mah. The only thing thats "meh" is that although it does seem to fully charge the battery, it just doesnt report it right. So at first it'll seem like the battery life is the same, but thats because you need to reboot the phone to get the right reading. For example, if you're at 100% and take it off the charger and do some nonsense, the reading will be the same as if you had the stock battery. But if you took it off the charger and immediately rebooted...you'd be on 100% for a long time (for me, with constantly listening to music after taking it off the charger and rebooting...I'd be on 100% for about 25-30 minutes).

Which battery maker are you using and does that 1800 fit the same profile as the 1500 one?
...I bought a Mugen 1800mAh battery for my Mozart and I am very happy with it.
I am now at ~ 60 hours per charge against 36 hours with the original battery...
I also got the 1800mah Mugen battery for my Verizon HTC Trophy. It does last longer than the OEM, in real world, maybe a 1/2 hour to an hour of talk time (standby longer )

Anyone else tried this brand before?
Well I just bought one of the first one's. Kind of skeptical that it is rate almost 50% higher and looks to be the same size as stock. Also hope this fits... oh well. Says 5 - 10 business days so I will report back later.

Ask the seller if he could weigh it for you
Seller said 29g, while chichitec and anker is 34, stock battery is 29 aswell heavier means better batterytime

BUt this isn't the gold one although i bet it's made at the same factory, oh the gold battery weigh in at 27 Lol i had a gold battery but got a full refund, so i opened it up, and there was a small battery inside, with a spacer built around it!
Really?! Oh lame...it's shipped.
I guess the only way to find out is to test it and form my own verdict.
can someone explain me technically how the weight of the battery relates to the performance.
apart from getting a case with a smaller battery inside.

generally speaking the weight of the battery relates to the amount of li-ion in the battery (this can only be a generalization due to the casing of the battery and the like) but simply put the higher the weight the larger amount of li-ion in the battery which increases the Amp Hours; Ah
edit: so continuing on a 2300mAh battery should be heavier than a 1500mAh battery as it would have more li-ion in it
so anyone got one this already and tested it out
I have BXT'S extended model BP6X and am using it with my Motorola XT720. The BXT battery weighs in at 24g (it is rated at 2200 mAh) and the OEM BP6X weighs in at 28.7g (which is rated at 1390 mAh) I have used the battery for about a day (with the charge that it had shipped with) and it didn't last very long. I was also running a 1.2ghz overclock at the time so that could have contributed to it too. I believe however that I need to charge it for about 10 hours or so the first charge, just to make sure it has its full capacity. (which I have not done yet) I can give a full overview in a day or so if you guys would like.
This is the one I have:

Seeing as it weighs less and claims its 2300 mah I call this battery a load of crap like the other 2300 mah battery. It prolly has spacers around a smaller battery.

Yes, that is probably true. I have also heard reports of android's battery meter not correctly read the % of battery power on these BXT extended batteries but it may vary from phone to phone so people will have to test it out on their devices. What the report said was that the battery would quickly drop to 25% and then it would take HOURS to drop to 0% but low battery messages would pop up frequently during that time because the phone believed the battery was that low, even though the actual battery % was not that low because it was just incorrectly reading it. I could not tell yet from a few hours of use whether or not I experienced this problem with my BXT BP6X.
Don't buy bxt 2300 mah
I ordered this BXT 2300mAh battery on July 21st 2011.
1st of all it came after 15 long days of waiting.
and when it finally arrived the battery was non functional. DOA
(that might be a one time thing)
But what's really surprising is the weight. As someone mentioned before; if the battery is more powerful it should be heavier. So, a 2300mAh should have more li-ion and should be quite a bit heavier then 1520mAh Stock. right?
(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
well this battery doesn't even weigh as much as the stock.
my conclusion: FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!
I just filed a PayPal claim to get a full refund.
Don't be sucked into buying this battery!
Guys, sorry to resurrect this thread but I've just got one of these with the Sensation I've just bought.
It weighs 34g exactly the same as the Anker I've got. Bot tried the Anker yet so can't compare how they both perform.
1gram battery ≈ 47mAh
I have 5 batteries.
Motorola BK60 930mAh Weight - 20g.
Motorola BC50 750mAh Weight - 16g.
Sony Ericsson BST-33 950mAh Weight - 20g.
Samsung sgh x160 800mAh Weight - 17g.
HTC Desire HD 1230mAh Weight - 26g.
930/20=46,5
750/16=46,8

800/17=47,0
1230/26=47,3
I have Anker 1900, but was wondering if anyone has tried the 2300Mah batteries advertised on eBay or any other battery that gives a significant performance boost apart from the $100 cover/bat combo.

Anker afaik is the best. Most of those 2300mah batteries are either fake or come with a different cover because they are thicker. So I'm sticking with Anker
Those are fake.

I currently have the Anker and it does last longer than stock but I'm looking for something longer and this is the only one I found that offers a bigger capacity without looking sketch...
From what i have heard the Anker is the only way to go.
Mah rating only adds a small amount to your battery capacity. From what I understand it will last longer, but if you charge it using a higher amperage then it will drain quicker, as you train it to deal with charge quickly.
Power optimisation on the ROM should be more of a priority when it comes to battery power =/

If it's 2450mAh and the same size as the original battery, it's fake.
I've seen these gold batteries before. Often they are OEM batteries with a fancy sticker on. Don't be fooled. Run it via a battery test, or even use Spare Parts to check the capacity. Also, avoid the placebo effect, your phone might seem to last longer and because of that you think it's a good battery but it might be simply because the battery is newer; you should consider does it run better than when you first had the phone?
If "Item location: Hong Kong, China" doesn't say enough, the free shipping and outrageous capacity claim should tip you off that it's a burn. It's just a low quality knockoff battery with a flashy label.
It's a fake.
If you want more capacity you need to buy a bigger battery and the cover to contain it, there are no other options.

That's not strictly true. You can get non-fake batteries up to 1800 mAh while still being able to use the original battery cover.

I've got the same battery. It's a big improvement over the stock battery.
I'm going to get one of these batterys and try them
And if size doesn't matter you may search for a battery with a capacity between 3.000 and 3.500 mAh, changing the battery cover. But i won't buy the one from the first post...
For me that's way to thick. :silly: I also think it's ok if the battery lasts at least 20 hours - or i'll just take another charged battery with me.
Another charged battery is a good resolution too and i got a second one cuz its my second sgs+ my old had a bath but i had insurance so i got a new device
Amazon has a Hyperion Micro pack battery which claims to have 3800mah packed into the size of the original s5 battery size (2800mah). Does anyone have any experience with these type of batteries ? Do they deliver or is it just fake hype?
Thanks
Definitely fake hype, there's no way they can pack 35% more juice in the same space. There's a thread regarding a "4300mAh" battery where the poster said it was better than the stock battery.
I do think they are just a tad bit thicker than the original battery, probably by a hair so I wouldn't be surprised if it was really a 2900-3000mAh battery which would give you the impression battery life is slightly better.

I have it. Came in the mail today. Bought 2x Micropack with wall charger. Label says capacity is 3800mah which I know is BS, but I needed extra batteries. I'm testing it out now.
Some notes comparing with OEM.
- NFC works
- Same dimensions
- It's weight is lighter.
- Drains ( percentage wise) faster.
- On first charge, charged faster.
My initial impressions tell me it's mah capacity is lower than OEM. I'll see if performance improves or not after a few more charge cycles.

What's there to assume? Hyperion is a good company, but mAh rating is clearly subjective to them especially in the case of these batteries. Just Google search it if you don't believe me, it is fact that it's impossible to have that much higher capacity in the same battery size made with the same metals.
I had a 3800 mAh Hyperion battery for my S3 and it was fantastic.
