Its the same, but I get referral points.
I recently ordered their extra capacity battery. I works fine in the Prophet, but the battery levle shows -1%? The battery seems to charge ok, but i can't see what is the level, as -1% is really not possible.
Anyone else have this problem?
Test results?
That's an amazing price.
It would be nice if you can post more experiences with this battery.
As far as I know, Dynapack doesn't produce 1800mah battery.
But more important is how it behaves....
I also bought one
I'm waiting it to arrive my hands..1800mAH will be good if it works.
If it doesn't, 5 $ is nothing.

So it doesn't work in your Prohet?
@tjohnso1
Is there a real advantage of the higher capacity?
I can't tell whether there is an improvement or not, as the unit does not recognize the battery, or the level of the battery, i cannot tell how long it lasts.
I left this new battery in the unit during last night, and this morning the unit would not turn on. I put the original battery back in, and it worked fine.
I did not have time to check whether the new battery was just discharged or whether there was a problem.

There is already a thread about this?
Recently ordered one battery from Dealextreme.
The battery (1800mAh) on my M600 is working fine. Apparently they received a new batch of batteries without the -1% charge issue.
And, for $5 is a real deal...
UPDATE (2008-03-09): Don't let this battery to fully drain or you will lost your battery. After a full drain the battery doesn't charge anymore.
May be you could found something in this site,the price are also very cheaper...

I got mine 2500mAh battery from DX yesterday ( sku.23987 for 8.64$) - which I looked towards too..
But its about twice as thick than the original, so I never changed it even to test it..but i thought that at least it could be a good backup for travelling, but after reading this I'm getting scared that i just vasted my money and hope for a good batery..
I purchased the Sieidio Battery 1750mAh on Amazon about a month ago. This battery is not worth the money at all. If you want an extra battery then I suggest buying an OEM battery.
I might be wrong but I think this battery actually goes down faster than the one that came with the phone. My biggest problem with this battery is that it does not fit properly in the phone. It can just be set down or place in my pocket and that is enough to make the phone.
DON'T wast you money on this battery

I don't even understand your review, but I guess I do understand you are being negative.
But this battery works way better than the stock battery that came with my EVO. It ****s on the stock battery. Diarrhea.
Maybe it's just because I bought it for $50 from Best Buy. What a bargain!

Sounds like too much for a 1750 battery. I'd rather just go all out and get the 3500

I got two 1800mAh batteries for about $30, and experienced the same thing. After awhile though, I realized that you have to do a few things to get better battery life.
1) Charge the battery to full while the phone is on.
2) Unplug and plug back in to verify that the phone is fully charged (green led)
3) Turn the phone off
4) Unplug, plug in, and wait for a green led
5) Repeat that 5-10 times
6) Then while still plugged in, reboot into Recovery and wipe the battery stats via the advanced menu.
7) Reboot, and use your phone as you normally would.
This may sound like alot, but it really only take about 5 mins. Even after wipe, it will still take about 5 full discharges to reap the better battery life. Hope this helps!
I think its just luck of the draw on aftermarket batteries (the cheap ones at least)
I have heard good and bad on ALL of them.
I got the Chichitec/htcexpress 1800 batteries with charger. Came in the other day and I couldn't be happier. 14 hours on initial charge, that's unheard of for me. On my stock battery I had to keep the phone plugged in most of the day at work just to still have juice by the time I got home. And supposedly these things start acting even better after a few charge cycles.
(Fits with stock battery door too)
But for every person that has a good experience with any of these companies, there's someone else with a horror story.

Could have told you that before you bought it, ratings by aftermarket reputable companies are close and never accurate...if they rate it at 1750, it's probably 1500-1650... The stock is 1500 so yes you wasted your money. Now on the other hand, the 3500 is the best investment anyone could ever make....
It's been proven long ago seidio over rates their batteries. The "1750" is actually just under 1500, so less capacity then the stock battery.

just terribad in my opinion, gonna stick to my seidio 3500. rather have the size and life than a small size and a measly bump from the 1750mah battery
They rated it less than a 1500 stock battery.
Key with extended batteries is that you actually have to charge them longer than your phone indicates.
Example: I phone said it was fully charged at 3:26am in the morning. Yet it continue to charge until at least 6:45am before it was constant. Granted I am using an SBC kernel but even without, you need to let it charge the night. Don't let the green light fool you. It takes a few extra hours to charge even if the led light is green!
You should just about fully drain your battery and then let it charge overnight. If you aren't on an SBC kernel you may actually want to charge your phone while it's off so that the battery dictates the charge.
You should also wipe your battery stats once the phone is fully charged.
Try that and see if it works for you. I know that I was getting great battery life even on the stock battery. I play "Word With friends" (at least 15 matches running) a lot (at least 15 matches running concurrently) and this game actually drains battery. I still got through the day fine though I also carry a Touch Pro 2 and having the batteries that are the same size allows me to swap when needed.
I have the 2650mah one from sprint and my 3500mah seidio coming in the mail tomorrow. I'll probably write a review for it later. Note, On my 2650mah, it's already on its 12th hour and I was was playing WWF, surfing the web, made several calls and it's still at 77%. I will leave it off the charger tonight and see how it fairs tomorrow.
Good Luck!
I have tested these and if they do last longer then stock, it is only like maybe 20 mins. I have an external charger as well as running the SBC kernel to get a complete charge. I have the sprint 2600 battery as well and love it. Not many cases for it but I have modified a sedio rugged and ballistic to work with it. I let my wife use it for a few days in her evo and had to fight to get it back from her.

Hi guys, so i recently got a GS2 and the abttery life is horrbile for me.
It charges 1% every 3 mins, and drops 10% per hour.
This may or may not be normal but ive decided to buy a extned battery off ebay.
Now, what precautions do i need to take? Is it even safe buying a extended battery? DO i have to buy a new back cover?

Are you charging via usb or electrical outlet? Trying cutting reducing the screen light in display settings. If you use a the internet a lot the you might need an extended battery.
I got one on ebay for about $30 or so and it doesn't add any bulk to the phone. Original samsung 2000mah battery with a case.

You can buy the extended battery 2000mah for $25 now, I found them at my local carrier shop..
I had the same issue as you when I was using a stock rom, battery drained really quick and had to charge twice a day.. After rooting it and flashing a stable ROM i was able to get up to 1 day 6hrs on battery with 4 hrs screen time
Bought the extended battery and the case that came with it is thicker than original making it a bit bulkier.
Hi mate check my thread for more info. on official battery

download battery monitor widget and set your maH from stock 1650 to what maH have your extended battery.the give 3 cycle of charging.
My battery level fluctuates really bad and my phone isn't lasting worth squat, i figure maybe its time to try a new battery !!
I see a lot of extended battery reviews here but i need something that will fit the original case/battery cover. I don't mind paying a little more if it actually will provide me with additional juice/time, any general consensus ?
Anyone try these Anker OEM replacements ?

I had an anker battery for my sensation when I had that for a while. I never had any problems with it. It was slightly larger than stock (not true in this case) and seemed to be rated accurately in terms of capacity.
Ill give it a try and let you guys know...For $10 with prime shipping why not...
Any procedures for calibration or first time charging needed ?

As far as I know, no, however I just always let it run down and then charged it all the way the first time I used it.
After using the Anker battery for a few days i can say its seems to be a good stock replacement.
Battery life is better than what i had before and the price, fitment is right
Pete
I have bought some anker batteries, they work about on par with OEM, if not a bit better.
Replacement I have is Sprint branded (BSMD71018L(BTREFD710)) and it seems to be on par for rated capacity. Better yet I just got very lucky. Washed the battery and the cell and the charge controller are fine. Battery both works in the phone and charges. Most batteries might be sealed well but those contacts can still turn it into an ugly mess.

I used to buy from AliExpress back in the days when there wasn't much local eShopping sites, and it took forever to be delivered. I bought my last GT-N7000 battery from Qoo10 last year and it's still in use today. Just search for "n7000 battery" on Qoo10. Sorry, can't post external link as I'm a new user. It's the gold battery series. May not be the original, but it's comparable in terms of battery life and it's much cheaper. Hope that helps.
