So I know there are a couple of posts on here but I have found them a little hard to follow. I just got my captivate last sunday and on the stock 2.1 rogers rom I noticed that the battery life was very poor. Since then I am now running cog 3.01 i think and my battery life is now alot longer than before.
For the way I would like to use my phone It is still not enough for what would make me happy. my phone is unplugged at 6:00 am and when i get home by 5 it used to be dead but after "breaking in the battery" and the new rom i get home with about %15 percent battery.
I just bought a triple battery pack off of ebay for $10. these batteries are rated at 1500 mAh, the same as the battery that came with my phone. I am just wondering what I can expect from these batteries.
My plan is to drain two of them completely then leave them in my desk drawer(from what I have read if you plan on storing batteries they should be completely drained first) and use one of them plus my oem battery daily(until they start to lose performance). Again does anyone have any experience with a battery of the sort or any similar third party battery?
they are no where as good as samsung oem battery. even though it says 1500mah it is not or will drop drastically after a month or so of use...i've bought a lot of those batteries from ebay and they always like that even some other well known companies like Seidio do not compare with manufacture's batteries. the difference is usable capacity, oem batteries are around 95% compared to cheap chinese ones that are anywhere from 60-80%.
haha thanks that makes sense why they are so cheap, well i will probs by three new ones every months or so.
I have those ebay batteries. I bought the kit that comes with two batteries and an external charger for about $10.
The ebay battery is has about 60-70% of the power of the OEM battery. I have no real hard evidence just from using it for the past 2 months or so.
I am ok that it is does not last as long as OEM because it was only $10 and it came with the external charger. I love the external charger because it allows me to charge a spare battery while I keep one in my phone.

I bought the same ensemble, with essentially the same results excepting perhaps that one of my replacement batteries seems to underperform with about 40% of OEM battery life.
That said, for $10... they're very handy as backups. They'll easily give you a few more hours in a pinch, which is essentially just what I was looking for. I really have no complaints in that respect.
The best strategy for battery life I've found is to buy a handful of wall adapters and position them in places you spend a lot of time at, and to develop a habit of plugging in when you're not moving around.
Sad but true, but mediocre battery life is just kind of a way of life for these (and really all) high-performance Android devices. Excepting getting an outsized and expensive battery replacement like the Seidio 3500 mAh that all but prevents use with many accessories and cases, a couple wall chargers and a car charger are effective if mildly annoying means of managing it.
These generic Hong Kong replacements are entirely effective as emergency supplements, but you'll find yourself preferring the OEM cell still.
Yep I mean for $20 I have two charges and 4 batteries so if I need to go without power , even if not a 100% match for the oem power, it is still damn cheap.
I also got one of these from ebay.
I got the 2x 1500mah batteries + Battery Charger combo.
I must say I am impressed. They are the same quality as my OEM battery. Its so convenient. I never have to run to a charger anymore. Just keep the spare battery in my car or wherever and just pop it in and carry on with my daily business.
When I get home, I just re-charge all the batteries. The Battery Charger even has an LED Light that tells you when its finished. "RED: while charging" and "BLUE: when finished". Charging takes about roughly 3 hours, (just like OEM).
Edit: Been using this for about a month so far. With no problems.. Its the best feeling. My phone is never plugged in anymore. And, I don't have to "pinch the settings" to make my phone last.
IE. lowering brightness to 10%, turning sync off, turning wireless networks off, etc.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
only crappy thing is??? I plan to sell this phone soon, when the Galaxy S 2 comes out, if the specs are good enough.

Would you mind posting the link or giving us the name of the exact vendor you ordered from?... I'm about to order the 2xbatteries and charger combo, but just want to make sure I get batteries that are half way decent. When I search on eBay I get about 20 vendors selling similar combos and given that in HK they're celebrating Chinese New Year... most won't fulfill orders until next week.
i wouldnt waste your money unless you just want an extra.

SEIDIO 3000mAh 3.7v
Plenty of power
@ Amazon, comes with new battery cover
Works like a dream $56.00
Easy to hold phone
HELL NO i'm not spending $56 on a battery
I was just wondering whether external batteries are generally quite reliable, and if so what the best brands are to go for? I am looking for a relatively powerful one - I am not afraid of a little bit of cost, but obviously I don't want to spend masses.
Thanks
Ive got a New Trent and its well built and reliable. The 11000mAH will last you for several days. Have a look on Amazon.
I have a "Just Mobile Pro" or something like that.
4400mAh with 1000mA output.
But the EasyAcc 5600mAh (which I don't have) does sound better and cheaper (on Amazon).
Second new trents 11000mah one that thing is a beast

Thanks not heard of New Trent before. Looks good. Can you confirm it's output charging current though? I can't find the spec on it anywhere. I'm assuming it's the full 1A, as it says it can charge an iPad, but could you please confirm? Looks like I'll be needing one!
Cheers.

It's good and bad . I was on the train heading home from work and I was charging my phone with the Anker charger. I accidentally pressed the power button twice and the flashlight turned on. Sitting across from me was this fairly attractive woman with a skirt on. She automatically crossed her legs and looked at me weird. I hope she doesn't think that i'm a pervert.

Hah! Good thing I didn't have a mouthful of soda there...
Good thing to remember with external battery packs is that during usage some of the charge goes to charging the battery while some is lost in heat. I think I read some where its normaly 30-40%. So for example a 11000mah battery will give you some where near 6600mah of charge so about 3 and half charges of the HTC One X.
I'm considering either the:
TeckNet® iEP387 7000mAh Dual-Port 2.1Amp Output Universal USB Battery Bank

The heat loss is inevitable but the capacity should be unchanged.
What the heat loss means is that you need more than 11000mAh to charge up the full 11000mAh battery due to the losses.
The tecknet is very good value. I am considering it at the moment

Yes but I'm talking about in the other direction. So once you have 11000mAh in the device and you charge a device that take 1800mAh you will actually use aprox 2520mAh in doing so. My numbers and calculations maybe a little flawed but my point is that you cant do a simple 11000 / 1800 = 6.1 charges as you need to take into account heat loss which is around 30 - 40% (so I read on one of the amazon reviews)
Either way both devices are nice and cost quite reasonable.

Ah yes of course. Did not realise you were talking about the other way round charger>>phone
Not sure how efficient but if say 10% loss, we still get around 5 times charge with a 11000mAh batt. to a One X.
I am leaning towards the 7000mAh. Not sure if I need it or not...

Also don't forgot not to simply divide the battery pack's capacity by your phone's battery capacity to see how many times it will charge, unless you are charging it with the phone turned off.
With the phone on it is obviously using the usual amount for running the phone, whilst it is being charged. Add the current being drawn for keeping the phone running (say 250mA when awake) for the time it takes to charge (for me 2 hours) and you are looking at 500mAH. Add that to the capacity of your phone battery before dividing it by the capacity of your battery pack to figure out how many charges you'll get from it. Figures used are just for example purposes. Use a current widget if you want to know how much your phone is using.
Plus like a phone's battery, a new battery pack will take several charge cycles to reach full performance. Where as with a phone's battery which only takes about 2 weeks (charging it every day), a battery pack will take that much longer to get the full performance out of, as you wont likely be charging it more than once a week/month.
And then there's the battery indicators. These New Trent ones look sensible, but I once purchased a Proporta Turbocharger 5000mAHr unit. It had three blue LED battery status lights that were always on if charging. If you looked directly at them they'd burn your retinas out your skull. They could be seen from space. Stupidly and comically bright. They HAD to eat into some of the capacity.
Copper losses over the cable at the distances involved in your average charging cable will be negligible. If you really want to reduce it, don't use those silly skinny retracting yo-yo charging cable things that some of them come with. Use a decent quality USB to microUSB cable. The higher the guage of the cable and quality of copper, the less volt-drop there is. I keep a good few of these kicking about at home as they are well made but not too costly, and come with a nice cable tidy clasp...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-NOKIA-CA-101-CA101-USB-DATA-CABLE-LEAD-5230-/140579882085?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccesories_MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item20bb36c465

Not sure which to pick up for my One. Even with power saving and minimal "optional" usage (only doing GPS navigation I actually need, checking sites I need to, etc), I can barely get through a day. Maybe I was just spoiled by my previous Note 2.
Anyway, the Mophie case seems like my optimal option, and I honestly don't mind the added bulk or weight, but at $100, it's a little expensive obviously. And waiting for a price drop isn't really an option, since I'll probably be picking up the Note 3 later this year, or at the very least some other phone. I don't have any other devices (like a tablet) so having it be specific to the One isn't exactly a bad thing.
An external battery pack would be a lot cheaper per mAh, but not as convenient - unlike the Mophie, I'd have to remember to bring it with, possibly even bringing a bag if I wouldn't otherwise (I like to travel light and keep my pockets limited to keys, wallet, and phone). I'd probably be looking at the Anker Astro3E 10000mAh for $40 or Anker SlimTalk 3200mAh for $24.
To be honest, most of the time I'll need extra battery life, I'll probably know in advance and come prepared (and therefore be able to pack the external battery), but sometimes I'll run into a situation where I'll forget to charge the phone at work after extensive use, and get last minute plans for stuff out of the house and away from a charger, where I likely won't have a bag with me.
Thoughts? Maybe opinions on Mophie users, especially ones who also have external battery packs?

I'm in the same boat! But yeah I've ordered the Anker Astro Slim2 and the Motorola P4000, both are the same size of a phone and have a built in cable.
I have the Astro 3E 10,000 mah and I love it to death. It's seriously a life saver

Always go for the universal battery chargers (the good ones of course) if you change phones like me (every 6 months or so) your resale value isn't as good with phone battery packs

Get the battery and leave the case alone. It will serve you much better with faster charges and some will charge you phone up to 4 times. The iblason is trash and mophie is trash as well.
There is another review on this product here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691665 but this is my take on this product.
I wasn’t expecting too much from this battery pack (with all the competition out there) but when I actually received it and put it to use, I was very pleasantly surprised. Everything from the fit and finish, size, performance, accessories and packaging was great.
You can tell a lot of thought went into this product. It comes with a flat style micro USB cable which helps prevent tangling. It was a nice length too as this was one problem that I found with other cables that were provided by other companies. It also comes with two different types of carrying bags/pouch. Who can forget the color on this thing? Mine was the bright apple/green color and I actually liked it. With all the bland colors (black and white) that other companies offered, the color options offered by Lepow was a breath of fresh air. It screams to everyone, “Hey, look what I have.”
Performance wise, this product performed as expected per the listed specifications. It has 2 output modes, Ultra Mode and Fast Mode. Using a USB Power Meter reader, the outputs that showed on the meter was .85A for Ultra and .72A for Fast Mode. This translated to charging times of my N5 phone from 20% to 79% in 60 mins and 100% in 93 mins in Ultra Mode. For Fast Mode, in 60 mins it went from 20% to 74% charged and 103 mins to charge my phone to 100%. These tests were performed 3 times each and was pretty consistent. This isn’t the fastest battery pack out there as a different brand charged my phone from 20% to 92% in 60 mins and 100% in 72 mins.
Efficiency wise, this battery pack was able to charge my phone (2300mAh battery size) a full 3 times (from 20% - 100%) before it needed a charge itself. This was excellent because another brand with the same 6000mAh rating was only able to charge my phone 2.25 times.
Measuring 3.2 x 3.2 x 0.8 inches and weighing 9.6 ounces, this battery pack takes up minimal space. It accompanies me to work every day as I am in meetings all the time. It is easy enough to just pop this thing out on the table and charge my phone up while the meeting is going on. I’ve gotten many comments when I do this, all to the extent of how cool this thing is and that they need to get one too.
Last but not least, price point. We all want to pay the lowest that we can for good quality, dependable products. At $19.99 that this is currently selling on Amazon, it is a steal. Compare this to the other major brands with the same mAh rating ($29.99, $37.99), the Lepow Moonstone performed just as good, but at the same time being less expensive!
If there was one thing that could be improved upon for this product, it would be a built in micro usb cable. This would make it so much easier for the user since that would eliminate the need to carry one around.
All in all, this is a great product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a very efficient portable battery pack. Combine that with the lower price point, included accessories and the cool colors that are offered, you can’t go wrong.
If anyone wants to know more about this company, I found their website: http://www.lepowglobal.com/
Here is a link to the product on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lepow-Moonstone-6000mAh-External-Smartphones/dp/B00DWKK6PY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395900241&sr=8-1&keywords=lepow+moonstone+6000
On to the pics for size comparison to my N5:
I use the same and have found it to really be a very good product :good:
Ebay has so many kinds of these power banks with huge sizes. I doubt that is real, so i wanted to ask if anybody has reasonable size (not over 3k or 4k mAh), that is safe and not made in China?
Buying something Chinese is really bad, literally every thing i have from china has broken in the first day. And i do not want to buy something electronic like that battery pack from china that could explode or something. All i need is a power pack that could charge around 75% of my battery. I do not need some huge thing. I simply can not get my phone to last throughout a normal school day on normal usage.
Look at the ones Anker offers. They are not cheap but worth every cent.
I have got a large one with about 6000 mAh. But they have also got smaller ones.
Most of their batteries are able to deliver high charging currents, which enables you to charge your phone just as fast as on AC power.
I can really recommend Anker.

Though I read your "no china" criteria, I would still suggest you to try out the Mi Power Bank. I have been using it for almost 4 months now, and although I had my own reservations regarding a Chinese product that could (literally) kill me, it has been terrific till date. It charges up the phone at almost the same rate as the wall charger, and it itself charges up pretty fast. Comes in two sizes- 5200 mah and 10400 mah. The 5200 mah power bank is what I have, and it is sufficient to fully charge my N5 and charge a Grand 2 upto 20-25%. Plus, it is a lot cheaper that the power banks made by Sony and likes.
Btwn..It actually comes from Xiomi, the makers of Mi3 which has been one of the most successful phones in 2014. This is the only thing I relied on while getting the power bank, and boy am I happy with it.
I didnt knew sony makes power banks too, and thanks for suggestions!
Also, during decharging, does the power bank heats up? (When i charge my phone with the power bank)

No it does not. You can see some YouTube reviews if that helps you. Not sure if you are bothered about it but the finish of the body is the best I have seen on power banks.
FYI
I have NEWNOW power bank. I can charge my n5 for about 5 times completely. Its capacity is 10400mAh. Has 1A and 2,1A charging ports. With the 2,1A port charges my phone fully in about 15-25 minutes. Highly recommend!

It's impossible to full charge the phone in less than 30minutes, certainly not at 2.1A.
Also that looks like a cheap Chinese charger to me. When you see 10,000 maH ($20) for less than the price as most 5000mAh you can assume that they lied about the specifications.
Xiaomi asks 19$ to ship Mi Power Bank to Romania from its European hq! Isn't that a little bit too much?
I've read through this thread because I have the same question. Are there any power banks actually not made in China once you scratch all the "it's made in China BUT" comments?

Ebay has so many kinds of these power banks with huge sizes. I doubt that is real, so i wanted to ask if anybody has reasonable size (not over 3k or 4k mAh), that is safe and not made in China?
Buying something Chinese is really bad, literally every thing i have from china has broken in the first day. And i do not want to buy something electronic like that battery pack from china that could explode or something. All i need is a power pack that could charge around 75% of my battery. I do not need some huge thing. I simply can not get my phone to last throughout a normal school day on normal usage.
