These 3rd party batteries dont really offer what they say probably its even worse than the stock 1500mAh
alright. if anyone have tested this batt pls feedback
so did you end up buying the mugen 1600mAH battery ? If yes, how did it go ?
Mugen batteries are very good. I used to own one for a samsung PDA i had a while back and was far superior to other 3rd party batteries i tried.
I can't imagine you getting much out of an extra 100mah though? For example if you get 8 hours use from the device you would expect a return of around 8.5 hours with the extra 100mah. Of course this is an approximation but it gives you an idea. Just take the time you normally get from the current battery and divide by 15 then times by 16 and you will get a very rough estimate as to how much will be gained.
Thanks for the info. I bought a third party (not Mugen) 1500mAh battery but the battery life is much shorter than the original battery , so i was just wondering if this Mugen 1600mAh one is really slightly better than my original samsung battery
I got this Mugen 1600mAh battery last week. It works great. To me, it lasts much longer than my original 1500mAh battery (about 3-4 hrs more). I highly recommend it.

Can anyone confirm this to be true?
Check out http://batteryboss.org/
You'll be lucky if a higher mAh battery designed to fit in the standard bay, even ones from branded third parties like Andida or Mugen, will be as good as the OEM.
Avoid the ebay non branded, loads of re-badged rubbish not even close to the printed value.
I have found this on their site and sounds good. Any experience with their batteries?

It says the battery has 3500mAh which is more than double of the battery that comes with the phone...
I just wonder if that amount of mAh would be possible

Wow that back cover (and the battery) must be HUGE! the camera area is recessed below the surface where the stock one comes out.
I'm sure some kind soul will try it and report back here.

i ordered one from the uk on ebay, should be here around next week, also i ordered the 1900mah battery which is better than the one that comes with the phone
My experience with these extra-large batteries with alternative battery case, is that they last longer than the original battery for a few weeks/months then last much less to the original.. Soon enough wont even charge.. They have a very short life.
I had one for the N95 8gb years ago.. came also with the extra-space back-lid.. sticking with the official mAhs...
most are the same
i have bought many many batteries for my previous mobile phones
all of them had a good capacity for some weeks or little months
after 3 months last less than my original battery
that kind of capacity with that price is too good to be true
so even if you buy this one dont quckly say it is good
just wait for 2 months of use and then have a conclusion
hope it was helpful
I've had mine for over 6 months.... Still the best battery I own. Easily lasts a whole day of interneting and playing games. Only time it came to low battery was when I was using it to record several hours of 3D footage.
Only issue is the size and weight.....

I have the battery OP asks about. And your opinion is right. In the beginning it lasted a lot longer than the original. After a couple of months it was worse than the original and I have used the original battery since.
Hey guys,
Spent some time searching and reading the relevant threads on G2x, and the final consensus seems to me that there is no widespread agreement with respect to the question I've posed in the thread title. It seems to me that the only extended batteries that are guaranteed to give more than just a 30-60min boost are the 3000mah+ batteries that require using a much larger back cover that turns the G2x into a G2XL.
Hoping there's someone who can prove me wrong. I'm about to buy the G2x for its fantastic specs and low price for use on T-Mobile's prepaid monthly plan. Andida extended battery gets mixed reviews. Same for Prodicell batteries. The one battery for which I'd like to see some results is the "Seidio Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Battery for use with LG Thrill 4G, Optimus 3D, LG G2X and Optimus 2X" listed on Amazon.com. (Couldn't post link due to my low post number).
Any thoughts thus far? Will I need to turn my G2x smartphone into a giantphone to get noticeable increases in battery life?

I read about the so-called "gold" batteries. I'm reserving final judgment but remaining skeptical until we can get some extensive tests showing they're worth replacing the stock.

As they say in the automotive world, "There's no replacement for displacement"..
Basically, yeah, if you want a noticeable increase in battery life, then you will need to accept a noticeable increase in battery size. No way around it.
I have seen people spend $50 or more on 'name brand' extended batteries that are the same size as stock, and they rarely give any more battery life than a brand new stock battery.
Think about it - with the phone market as competitive as it is, if there were a battery that offered significant increases in battery life without an increase in size, do you think the major manufacturers would ignore that and allow some Chinese knock-off company to capitalize on it? Not a chance.

You're probably right.
Back in the day (remember when cellphones were, well, just cellphones?) it was just Sanyo and Panasonic and a few other Japanese companies dominating the lithium-ion battery market. Now even Samsung's caught up to them in terms of market share and they've been working overtime to get as much battery life as possible out of their phones. And they have to--check out the competition lately!
Bah. I guess I'm pretty much left to working on every single possible software fix to up my battery life. I'll be reading up on the ROM guides. I hear CM7 is a good rom.
I know you said you didn't want to buy a bigger battery, but assuming you cave in, I can tell you first hand that these batteries actually do last MUCH longer. I can go a full 12 - 16 hours HEAVY usage with "4G". The door itself feels kinda cheap but it's lasted me a good 10 months so far.

i know that a case would make it even thicker... but do they have tpu cases or some type of cover that protects the corners?
I have been looking for something similar, a case for my extended 3500 mAh battery. The back IS larger, of course, the battery appears to be slightly more that double the depth of the stock battery. However, that being said, the design could be worse. I saw another extended battery that was the same size with a god awful protruding rectangle that made the phone look completely off balance. The battery I purchased here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3500mAh...ccessories&hash=item2a18e3208c#ht_1358wt_1041 looks, eh, alright
But anyways, I figure the only hope is for me to make a mould of the phone, and perhaps build one.
For OP I use the Andida 1980mah and it works great. It tests at 1980mah and gives me significant life over stock.
1500 vs 1980

I'm personally hesitant to commit to that battery. I went ahead and got a 3500mah battery. So far, the performance is quite good. It's allowed me to experiment with other rom/kernel packages that aren't as battery-friendly as tsugi, but offer tons of tweaks.

With stock battery and medium-heavy usage I can get 18 hours on EB and Trinity.... I would think I could easily get into the range of 12-16 with Heavy, but you probably mean EXTREMELY heavy usage.
Also, many people said the Andida battery gave them a few hours extra, thought of trying it but when I look at the ebay page for it the packaging looks extremely cheap... Which leads me to believe the battery is probably also very cheaply made and could easily fry your phone.

I've also had good luck with this battery, definitely better than stock. I haven't tested it scientifically, this is purely an anecdotal opinion based on using both for a long time.
i've been using the 3500 mah battery for around 6 months, no problem.
the original 1500 mah battery is bull****, it only supports your phone for like 12 hours max, you have to keep looking at the battery level if you dont want your phone endup dead.
with the extended battery i can go all day long, in heavy 3g mode. yes its bulky, but you will get what you're looking for. luckily i got it with a pair of desktop charger that i put in my office and home desk, so i never miss any recharge.
i dont think 1980 battery will improve a lot, on paper it suppose to add another 2-3 hours of battery time. but compare it with the 3500, and you will have 150% plus on your battery life.
i got it for $9 in spider-foot dot com

1700 mAh -- not hugely better in terms of mAh.. but it makes a big difference for me. the stock battery will not last a whole day (12 hrs) - but I easily get 17-18 hrs from the chichitec.. just saying. .
I have easily gotten >24 hrs in low usage.. i think best was 22hrs to 40%.. but that was wifi and a couple phone calls only on Morfic's XLP-GB kernel.. a bit on the pokey side.. but okay for wifi calling ..

thanks, I've been on the fence between ordering the 2x chichitecs or the 2x 1800 hyperions... think I might go with the chihitecs now. I've read in reviews that the included charger sucks though, doesn't always work... hows your experience with it?

12 hours? Bull****. I can easily get over a day on the stock battery and 3 on a 3500.
Maybe on the stock ROM the battery is that bad, but no ROM here gives that bad battery
And not only does that 3500 mAh battery give you 150% more battery, it makes your phone look like a retarded bloated whale and a viable floatation device, What a steal!

I can confirm that on the stock, my phone lasts 12h on average. I'm using EB with ELP Trinity.
Keep in mind that how much a phone lasts you is a very subjective statistic. You can use a phone much less/more than someone else, and thus the battery life would be longer/shorter. The appearance of the extended 3500mAh batteries is also subjective.
If we're going to be objective here:
The stock battery lasts about 4-6h of active usage (having the screen on, with a data connection, and running applications that actually make use of the CPU). How many hours of light usage/stand-by someone might have in between those 4-6h of usage varies from person to person. (i.e. someone might use their phone heavily for an hour, then have 5h of really light usage/stand-by, then another hour of heavy usage, and so on until a cumulative 4-6h of active usage has been accumulated)
The extended 3500mAh battery, while doubling the thickness of your phone also increases your battery life 150%-200%.
The reviews for extended batteries that are the same size as stock aren't at all consistent. They vary from people saying they perform worse, to people saying they give a much longer battery life. The only battery that has mostly positive reviews is the Anker 1550mAh, which has been told to run cooler and last a bit longer. Of course having only a 50mAh advantage over the stock, the increase in life shouldn't be expected to be too substantial.

That's gotta be the ELP voltages being too low for you and thus causing higher battery drain, try the T15 and undervolt till you find your voltage sweet spot, you will get way better battery than that.
I use my phone pretty heavily through the day, Music, Games, text, web, calls, etc... and I'm getting much higher than 12 hours.

Fake, any battery above 2000 mah can't be like stock battery. Check Mugen 3200 mah. I have it. When on idle. I 'm getting 1 % down for an hr with mugen battery. Means 100 hrs standby with Edge\3G On ...
Mugen does ship battery to any part of the world at free of cost. So get it from them directly

Ok thanks ...
In fact I would buy a new battery because the one I have now started to cause problems at the charge and discharge.
Do you have any advice for me? or a replacement with more capacity without having to add a thicker shell?

Is there some software that will solve this, I had read something about the kernel of the phone having some effect on this.

Thats normal if youre able to get a day of usage of your battery.
I bought a 2500mAh battery on eBay. Same size as stock, but it does not last much longer (~15% longer?) than the stock battery I had. I got the device lasting longer by installing the MildWild (based on Redux2) custom ROM. This ROM gives approximately an 80% increase of battery life (almost an additional day).

Yeah and your stock battery will have been 2 years old so its no better than stock. Clearly not the 2500mah it claimed

https://www.amazon.com/MPJ-2800mAh-...UTF8&qid=1474503438&sr=8-1&keywords=mpj+lg+g5
MPJ contacted me to try out this battery for my Verizon LG G5 (VS987) and it's been great so far. Frankly my past experiences with non OEM batteries for my LG G3 and Motorola Droid had been less than great, as the batteries never live up to their ratings and usually last half as long as they should. Based on these experiences I wasn't looking for this battery from MPJ to be much better. However, I was shockingly surprised at how well this battery preformed. It held up just as well as the original OEM battery that came with my phone and actually outperformed it slightly, although my OEM battery is 5+ months old at this point.
My results with this battery were as follows testing it through the stock charger that came with my G5:
Day 1
22H 57M - Total Battery Life
4H 33M Screen on Time
Day 2
28H 6M - Total Battery Life
3H 37M Screen on Time
Day 3
19H 1M - Total Battery Life
4H 10M Screen on Time
0H 47M Phone Call
Day 4
28H 50M - Total Battery Life
3H 17M Screen on Time
NFC does work with this spare battery as the chip is at the top of the phone.
They also offer a external charger; however I can't speak to the how fast or hot the battery charges in their external battery charger as one did not come with the battery.
I also included some photos of the battery, comparison to an OEM battery and the screenshots that show how well the battery performed in real life usage.
I've never done a review for something like this before, but the battery does hold its own for a good price. I highly recommend it.
The battery purchased from them last year for my old LG G3 was amazing and holding a charge for long, but they said they couldn’t ship batteries to my country as I was trying to order my second a few months later. I couldn't be happier to know they are available again in my country, and picked up 2 replacements for my new LG G5 in case the same thing happens ;P

MPJ contacted me to try out this battery for my Verizon LG G5 (VS987) and it's been great so far. Frankly my past experiences with non OEM batteries for my LG G3 and Motorola Droid had been less than great, as the batteries never live up to their ratings and usually last half as long as they should. Based on these experiences I wasn't looking for this battery from MPJ to be much better. However, I was shockingly surprised at how well this battery preformed. It held up just as well as the original OEM battery that came with my phone and actually outperformed it slightly, although my OEM battery is 5+ months old at this point.
My results with this battery were as follows testing it through the stock charger that came with my G5:
Day 1
22H 57M - Total Battery Life
4H 33M Screen on Time
Day 2
28H 6M - Total Battery Life
3H 37M Screen on Time
Day 3
19H 1M - Total Battery Life
4H 10M Screen on Time
0H 47M Phone Call
Day 4
28H 50M - Total Battery Life
3H 17M Screen on Time
The one downside is that this battery doesn't do NFC, so if you rely on that heavily you probably couldn't replace yours with this one, but it does make a good spare.
They also offer a external charger; however I can't speak to the how fast or hot the battery charges in their external battery charger as one did not come with the battery.
I also included some photos of the battery, comparison to an OEM battery and the screenshots that show how well the battery performed in real life usage.
I've never done a review for something like this before, but the battery does hold its own for a good price. I highly recommend it.

I don't know how you got the idea, but the NFC is not built-in the battery like the earlier samsung phones, it's somewhere near the rear camera on the left hand side.

I'll have to check and try it this evening. I was just going with what the listing for the battery said. I didn't try it, because of the listing and all my previous phones had the nfc in the battery, so I just assumed the G5 was this way. I have no idea where the nfc chip is. I'll post back this evening.
Edit: It does look like the nfc is at the top of the phone. Its the yellow square.

Edit 2: NFC does work with this spare battery as the chip is at the top of the phone.
