Hey just want to know if anyone has heard anything about extended batteries, I would be very interested, I know its a bit early but you never know. Thanks.
Yeah I'm hoping for one that won't need a bigger back to it =/ wishful thinking perhaps

I'm interested too. Something in the 2500-3000 mah range would be pretty amazing. Innocell have not released anything for the Vibrant yet though. Sigh.

most if not all batteries that are rated more then OEM and are the same size, are actually even worse then OEM with lower rating....
and same for oversized batteries, if not OEM, then all ratings are bs. but of course it will give you anywhere from 30-40% more juice.
Last night I was reading something about Seido batteries, they claim to be 1750 but when you rip them apart, undernearth the fake 1750 badge that Seido puts on them, underneath is some kind of serial number or something that shows they are really 1300 batteries made by another company. Ouch
Just do a google search, the consipiracy should come up.

Yeah, check out nexus forum, those 1650-1750 batteries are really somewhere around 1300
Amzer has a 1600 mah battery on their site.

Wow, only 100MaH more? Not worth it, IMO.
Ya so far that is all I've seen hoping to see some better ones soon

Lol...if its under 2000, there really is no point to it.
Just wanted to see if anyone has seen any news of an extended battery yet? I could really use one with the amount time I spend on the phone.

Carry another battery with you and you just double your juice nice and easy.
http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-1600-mah-Lithium-Ion-Standrad-Battery-P88958.htm
here's one from amzer, but I don't think a 1600mah will make a huge difference since ours is 1500mah? plus I don't know how good amzer batteries are, haven't really bought any third party batteries.
EDIT: oops nm someone already mentioned this battery, didn't see it
That's absolutely ridiculous how dishonest people can be about the MAH that's within the battery. Why lie? Create a price and sell them... people will buy. I am anxious for the 3500MAH that i had with my Nexus one. It last for 1 day and 2 hours (26 hours) even though it had that thick back replacement. I wouldn't mind making this phone a little thicker (preferable heavier) to make up for this cheap quality which compares to the nexus as a TOY! lol But I am in-love with this phone and soo need an extended batter. this batter slightly sucks. It's just ok.

I have read that before..are really that good ?
Whats the different between a 1550 mAh Mugen Power battery for 30$ and a random 1550 mAh battery from eBay for 10$?
some ebay sellers sells unbranded or fake batteries (would say 1800mah but is actually 1300 etc..), usually with no return/exchange policies specially the cheap ones like 3 pcs for 10$.
mugen pretty much you get what you pay for.
Man that's nice
I don't have issues with the stuff I got from them. I saw on their facebook page that they change the batteries if they're working...which is good and they have 1 year warranty on stuff. So far I'm going with them. Got 2 days on average usage on my Nexus
looks like I found the answer to my question. will check them out, thanks!

Personally for me the big difference is their brand presence across all available customer service channels (twitter, facebook, email, phone etc...) and high quality. I'm using my 4th battery from Mugen at the moment and totally happy with it and with their service.
Also I received a reply from their rep that actually makes sense - they say that their price allows them to give all the listed services to the customers, and it is simply not possible to make a good battery for 10$ using top technology and aftersales support.
Anyways, there's many info here about them, you can research a little.
While it would be nice to have an extended battery, I wouldn't want to make that change because it would make my phone heavier and clunkier with the extended battery backdoor. Another big downside is that my case wouldn't fit anymore. To solve my own battery-life issues I keep a Duracell Powerhouse with me when I know that I'm going to need extra juice.

You can always choose a slim extended battery that fits your original phone socket and does not require an extra back.

I have heard that the "extended batteries" that are the same size as stock are counterfeit in the sense that they don't actually offer more capacity. Lots of scams and shady companies around extended batteries...
It's 'Moogin' baby. Seriously, this is just a name tag being placed on the battery. It looks too ugly for me to put it on my Skyrocket.
will check them out, thanks!
Mugen Power batteries are great if you can afford the entrance fee. Yeah, it's not some cheap knockoff from Ebay, but the quality and battery life is worth it. I recommend them. Here's a review I did of the extended batteries on the T-Mobile G2 if anyone's interested

Think ill be getting the 3200 Extended for the Skyrocket, has a nice kickstand on the back of the battery door
Going to be replacing my Inspire 4g Soon but i think i might buy one of these Mugens just so the phone can actually be a backup current battery in it just cant keep a charge worth anything with how i use a phone
Thanks for the review

Plus one for Mugen from my side. I've been recommending them for quite a long time now. Some experience to share: ordered a battery from them a month ago and nothing got delivered. I contacted them on facebook, and it turned out that the post lost my parcel...I was a little nervous cuz there was more than 150$ in it, but Mugen replaced all of it in a matter of days. Not just great batteries but awesome support as well.
Very good battery. Works flawlessly.
are mugen batteries available in india?

I'm sceptical of ebay, however 2430mAh without changing the dimensions of the phone, they have great feedback. Will this give me an extra 38% or so of battery life? Or is it probably just a sham...
looks interesting, the price is skeptikal but the posting of it seems legit.. at least in my own opinion, don't really know until someone orders it and runs a battery test
and just a FYI, the genuine 2000 mAh extended battery makes the phone bigger but barely... and the phone feels a lot better with the extended battery.
I'd consider buying it, really wouldn't mind someone else's opinion first though. I already have the 2200 man battery, so I'm not quite sure if this would be worth changing for...

if that battery is not bigger than the gsm 2000mah extended battery(ie it doesnt need a new back cover) theres no way its 2400mah. when it comes to batteries oem is the highest quality so an after market one will need to be bigger to give more juice. you are right to be skeptical about aftermarket battery they always bs their mah ratings.

the battery in the link is for the gsm nexus.
OP, that does not look legit at all.
Many times these batteries have a label showing a higher capacity...then when you peel it off the true capacity is underneath.
I'd bet its probably fake.

Agree with you although its surprising to me to see how Motorola could fit a 3300 mAh battery on a phone with a pretty slim-profile.

They also made it non-removable as well as ging it a huge bezel and a 4.3 inch screen, all while making it wider and only slightly shorter than the GNex.
This is a scam for sure. It's tempting though. But no.
Back in the g1 days. These "gold" cells did perform a lot better. Anybody care to try?

price = quality.
To all of you looking to purchase a reliable extended battery with a premium back cover and high quality cells look into this company. I purchased their battery for my galaxy s2 skyrocket and it was awesome! Not the cheapest but deff worth it guys FYI.

Not to thread crap, but Google Seidio extended batteries. They usually test at far less than their advertised rating. They make nice cases, but their batteries aren't very well regarded in the smartphone enthusiast circles.

I agree, had them for my og Evo, extended battery was decent, but on my Epic touch it was far less than satisfying.
I am waiting on one from Gorilla gadgets, the extended battery i got for my Epic touch was good. Hopefully it will be the same with my GS3
There extended battery for my og evo worked great for almost two years. But I messed up using a rom with trickle charging. So go for the battery when it comes out, I know I will.

I agree too, their products are very reliable and the quality is superb, I bought an extended battery from them a few years ago for the Droid Inc and always got atleast 26+ hrs on it. Of course like any other battery, it too lost its juice after 2 years but I was very satisfied with its output. Right now there is no timetable on when the battery will be released (I sent Seidio an email and waiting for their response) but hopefully the battery isn't bulky enough that it sacrifices the phones' beauty.

I had great experience with the Seidio batteries for my Palm Pres, so other than the rather high price (and my concern about fit in my car dock), I am seriously considering this. {ProfJonathan}
um...what do you guys think so far?
this compare to mugen?
or should i wait for the samsung factory extended battery?

I would like to see this, i have the 4200 by Hyperion , and i love it, NFC and even the case is good, just a tad too big, a little smaller battery would be nice
its not out yet right?
it will be available aug 17?
bump to see a review of this battery
The one with NFC hasn't been released yet.
Thanks for the info. just placed an order for this.
If anyone orders and want 10% off use coupon code TW10
I can not find any reviews on this specific battery or hyperion vs mugen for the note 2. I am eye'ing the mugen 6400 due to the size and the cover, but is this deal too good to be true, or are they roughly the same in terms of quality?
Also, what's everyone's opinion on one of these batteries with that mugen 6400 battery cover? Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone have any experience with that exact battery though? It seems too good to be true. What makes that battery so cheap yet the Mugen so expensive?
There really is no reason why mugen is so expensive. Check this thread out and look at what I pointed out with the Mugen case.

How would you know that about the battery if it hasn't shipped yet?
I'm just saying there is no justification of why the battery and rear case is $100 when you can find alternative that have been out and reviewed. Not to mentioned the poor quality of the photo they provided showing the case not even fully connecting.

Do you happen to have any of those reviews? I can't find any no matter how hard i look.
And what about the battery i linked> Is it too good to be true?
Bumping since I'm just getting some vague answers but nothing else.
Again, is that deal too good to be true? That, and what battereis have been reviewed for the note 2? The phone just came out days ago, so how many extended batteries could there possibly be that can compete with ones similar to mugen? I found that hyperion one, but i can't find any reviews or opinions on it.
