Today I received my 1800mAh Lithium-Polyner battery for my XDA Exec. The manufacturer claims 11% more load than a standard battery, while still fitting in the standard battery slot, without the need for a thicker cover.
It is cheap as hell (20 euros) and can be found here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....from=R8&satitle=220016822659&category0=&fvi=1
It's currently charging so tomorrow at the end of the day I should be able to tell how it compares.
So Wiz, how is the battery holding up?
I've used replacement batteries in the past and they all seem to have problems reporting the correct charge. Is this one the same?
Good luck,
Pug.
say clear of seller mr buybits on ebay his 3200 battery always say 100% and you wont get the black battery cover thats advertise , insted you get a silver cheap looking one
i bought a 3800mAh battery with black case from expansys. it works flawlessly. the extra thickness is worth the extended battery life. i don't have to pay attention to the battery at all now (as long as i charge it every night of course)
whow what it last 24 hours .. tell me more about that battery .how many hours you get from it using in wile the screen is on ?? and how much was it ?
regards

Hi.. How thick is the additional bat? Do you think it will still fit the piel frama book type leather case? Im thinking of buying the same from expanys. Good thing I bumped into your post
Thanks!
Thick
It's thick, you will not be able to use your Piel Frama case.
yup it's about an extra 9mm, but my belt case fits it nicely (an old iPAQ 'extended battery' case). the belt case i originally had for it was too tight with the stock battery anyway.

Really? Even if I squeeeeze it in? haha.. I was hoping that I can still use my case... I love this case!
Ok, I will let you guys know if I was successful in trying to squeeze it in. i will also let you know if I managed to tear / break the case, haha. Thanks!

I don't use any case whenever I'm using the extended battery. Don't try to squeeze it in, i tried it before on my Piel Frama case, u will just end up breaking that wonderful case of yours.

Ok then. I'll take that you broke your wonderful case??? It's just that I so wanted to still use it despite the bulky battery. Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna order from expansys soon. I'm just checking other sites in case there's a better place to order the extended bat. I'd love to have the lion battery but it's too expensive so I'm settling for the 3800 mAh one.
P.S. I found this "pencil case" that would probably perfectly fit my dopod with the extended bat... BUT (yes, a big but), it's a Barbie pencil case. Sure, im a girl and i'd probably pull it off but still, isn't it a big insult for our fabulous phone? haha..

Hehehe, that's cute! I think the 3800 mah battery is also lithium ion. I understand your praise about the universal. I mean it's a great device, especially the VGA screen (that stands out from the rest of the PPC phone). I bought my extended battery from ebay.
1800mAh battery
The thread has gone somewhat off-topic here. I have used the 1800mah battery for a week or 2 now, and it does deliver the additional 12%
It may not be as much as the 3800 battery, but for day to day usage that battery is too thick and heavy anyway. I prefer to keep that one for long business trips or holidays.
The 1800 battery just gives that little extra while allowing the Exec in it's regular case (for me Covertec)
Where did you buy your battery from?the site that i saw that had it they were currently out of stock.I have ordered the other battery but it is huge makes it feel like a gun is in my pocket.The jj is already a monster and to add the extra weight is a ilttle too much.

Its not in english so i dont know wth it says.Im in the US and am skeptical about what im reading.
As the seller has a 99.5% positive feedback from 48378 ebayers, i would assume it is as safe as you are going to get! If in doubt, give him a shout - Send a message, i am sure you will get a response fairly quickly?
It does state worldwide shipping and to contact the seller for details.
sent a message with no response.I would like to know the total in us dollars though.the way i figure it ,it comes to almost 60 bucks and pdaden has them for 46 shipped and 52 for a 2-3 day shipping.i will wait another day to see if he can let me know how much it will cost me.
I got free shipping to the netherlands for that price. Until now it performs admirably. I'll try to run some SPB battery rundown tests this weekend both with the original shipping battery and this 1800mAh li-polymer battery.
PS I didnt notice the 1750 Pdaden batteries until the last post by southernint3l, but from where I am at, the free shipping to the Netherlands beats the $10-$20 shipping I would have to pay from the US hands down.

I have to say that looks better than the 3500ma from seidio.
it does!!! i just ordered it just so i can take that back and do the carbon fiber DIY on it. I think it would look awesome
also is the 2600mah and the 3600mah battery the same size
I'm tempted, but does anyone know anything about the make of the battery? Thats awfully cheap.. i'd be scared of starting on fire
heh
Wow a fat battery door for less than $15 shipped.
Now, lets see some normal sized battery doors on ebay.
Its cheap enough, ill bite. I got a 2300mah battery and door from an unknown manufacture when I had a G1 and it worked great, im willing to give this a try. Ill report back once I get it
im half tempted to get this... ive got a 3500 mah batttery from seidio that i got for my hero, it would fit in my evo just fine but i dont have a back cover
i might just have to send the seller a message and ask how "thick" the battery is... if its anywhere close to seido's 3500 mah unit ill jump on it

I don't want any battery that requires a larger back cover. Im waiting for a 2000mAh to come out that will fit as is!
I can't believe how badass the EVO is now. I've had mine for like a month exactly and I get impressed by the amount of accessories popping up for it every week. GO EVO! 15$! count me in even if its crap! I think I spent 15$ on lunch today and thats already looooong gone....ew

I used seidios online chat to ask a couple questions...
the rep told me 1. they do not accept paypal(just to ask) and 2. you can get the extended battery door alone for around $15 but you have to call them as it "is part of a package which they have to break up"
that will fit your 3500 hero battery (which i have aswell)
done and done.
Ew. Looks like a throwback to the Motorola Microtac days. Why would anyone want to turn their phones into a brick when they can have 3000mAh available to them by carrying an extra battery in their wallet? Crime deterrent ?
my hands are big so bring on the big back door and no need to charge during the day

I bought one of these off eBay a month ago, it's about the same as the OEM battery, so it's a good backup, but not a replacement.
I have been wanting a extended batter for my dx but wanted a case that fit it right. Well Trident made that happen.
I have already bought this product and it is pretty nice. MY phone is pretty thick now but I actually find it easier to hold. I know a few people have also posted wanting something like this so check it out. Price isn't to bad either if you consider you are getting a good case and an extended battery.
xda won't let me post links yet so you will have to find it yourself. Its on cyclopscase<dot>com
Go to the website above, choose droid x on the left and then sort by highest price and it should be the first one.
t would be nice if they sold it without the battery too

Yeah it sucks when you already have the battery and want to buy the case.
On a good note though. WHen you're just at home for a long period of time, you can charge one battery and take it out and charge the other one. Then when you're out and about all day, bring both batteries with you and switch em out when one dies.
Well, the hard part for me is finding a case that works with larger batteries. Which is why it was a relief to find this, which has a case made just for the extended battery.
Isnt the Trident Electra Better than the cyclops? its 3200mh
*edit* nevermind.. I missread what you were looking at.
Trident is making the best stuff now
They passed otter box up ages ago
I would never buy another otter box product after I wrote them an email and they never had the professionalism to write me back.
They must be all about money and greed.
FYI , I wrote Mugen Power about making a high capacity extended battery for our Tmobile SGSii T989 and they wrote back and said it would release before Christmas. Im planing on getting one and will update the OP with a review when they release.
thats the same person i talk to and he/she says it be release in november...well its december..
That would be sweet. Battery life is already great on this phone given how it is on so many other android phones. I bet I could easily go 2 days without charging with a better battery!
A little FYI about Mugen Batteries. Check this out.
i had mugen on my G2 and it was good! and i am a power user, i can drain it in 12 hours, i use wifi hot spot alot but nonetheless it is worth it.

That's interesting, but what if the battery on the left was a 1800mAh battery, that would make it a 3000 mAh battery. I don't know what to think about the picture but I have used Mugen batteries before with good results.

Probably not the most convenient but I stick with OEM batteries, they're cheap enuf on ebay and having 2 batteries works just fine. Also the cases fit fine along with the OEM car dock. OEM might be more expensive, but it's the real deal
I think AllGamer has stated this in a different thread already much better than me
The inability to fit a case with these extended batteries prompted me to import a T-Moble PowerSkin, at 70.99 USD after a 20% discount this thing should have came with a bj or something.
It doubles the thickness, i am not sure how i feel about the quality of it yet, it feels good to the touch but it doesn't feel like it fits the device tightly, and to transfer files via usb you have to remove the case because they did not enable usb pass-through from the case charging port to the port that connects the case to your phone. The thickness i can deal with i knew it was coming, i like the idea it was a case too, but it kind of feels like it fits like ****. like its been stretched out by taking it on and off multiple times.
Not that i can bother returning it, i'll just have to eat it. Shipping it back would cost half the price of the case, put in the value of my time to complain to them and im sure at least 2 emails/calls. What can yah do.
Can you post a link for where you ordered the powerskin from and post some pics?

They're customer service is actually very good. I emailed them about a blackfriday code 2 days after I made my order and they refunded me 15%.. today I emailed about not receiving the case and they sent me a replacement for free and said that if both cases come, I'm welcome to keep both
EDIT - Idk how I managed to post in the wrong thread lol.. I was looking at many case threads at the same time and I thought I was in the diztronic one when I posted this. my bad
I always used this website for batteries and always they were great
this one is estimated to ship on Feb 21 just 2 days before my bday i might treat myself!

it says it's 2000mah how much more battery usage i can expect?
before i flashed franco kernel (which was about hour ago)
my battery would hold around 12 hours on 4.0.4 i always listen to music text and do some web browsing. Thanks guys
You get ~14% more capacity compared to the 1750 mAh battery. So don't expect too much.
Why wouldn't you get the OEM Extended battery? It's half the price and holds more charge. If you're worried about the case the difference is barely even noticeable, most cases fit with the extended battery.
I get about an hour more on average compared to stock battery, which makes a huge difference for me. It's also good having an extra battery anyway.
If you've got a Verizon version, just buy the extended battery straight from Verizon its 2100mAh and comes with a proper back cover for less $$.

The OEM extended barely makes it thicker, it keeps NFC, and it is cheaper with more capacity.
You're going to put a case on it anyways, so why do you care about thickness? lol.
if that mugen battery is not larger than stock one i can assure you that you are not getting more capacity. mugen batteries are decent as far as aftermarket ones goes but they over advertise their capacity and charge more than oem but dont take my word for it. check out this website that tested some mugen batteries actual capacity. mugens 1800mah is actually 1400 and thier 3600 extended is 2500. http://batteryboss.org/

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.
took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?
I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3900mAh...3372&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=2&#ht_1350wt_1111
Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.
I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery.

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.
