1700mAh Battery Replacement from Ebay...

Have anyone tried this yet? Planning to get one but is it really 1700mAh... about 20% more than original battery... should last throughout the day
Can't post the link but you can search for it in ebay....

Don't do it. Usually those off brand batteries are complete junk. Even if its cheap, its a waste of money.

Thanks I was about to get one. I got the 3500maH for my old vibrant and it seemed not 3500 so I guess this one will be the same

I haven't tried the 1700 mAh ones, but I do have 3 of the standard size ones that I got off Ebay for a few bucks each. I'd say they probably have 80-90% of the capacity of the stock battery. I think that's pretty good considering the price. If I needed an extra battery, I'd consider trying it out.
Get a standalone battery charger and always keep one in the charger, so that when your battery dies, you can just swap them out. That way you never have to plug your phone in with the micro usb cable and risk breaking the jack.

i have the 1700 battery and i did notice a difference...i love my battery

I bought those for my first mt4g and you are right, the capacity was only about 80 or 90%. I sold them along with my first mt4g. I would not mind getting another pack but the problem is I'm using the tmobile prestige case the one with the kick stand. It's so hard to pry the case off to change the battery. Maybe will give the 1700 a shot

These are the ones i got and i couldnt be happier with them....I know it says for thunderbolt but its the same battery for the mt4g...i have been able to get 2 days with out any problems at stock clock speed and about 27 hours at 1.5ghz.

Two words... "Battery Calibrator" got me a slightly extended battery that is same size as standard as to avoid losing my sweet case and the charging dock so I always have a fresh batt. Name brand too. New batts take a few full charges n depleats before noticeable difference. Good stuff, good stuff...
Check out AndroidAndMe site
4Geezy ON DopeDiculous's ROOTED TBeezy!

They look like the ones from ebay. Labels are slightly different. I will order and try them.
Battery calibrator did really help I once got 23hrs on a single charge now I use my phone more like a laptop would not last for more than 10 hrs but I need at least 12hrs for my job. Thanks for all advice and shares will report back with when new battery arrives

em2 very interesting find as aware that TB used 1400mAh battery but not same size as our MT4G. Far as stock size battery goes I am aware of the current Mugen Power 1650mAh being better than of that Seidio Innocell 1600mAh. The link you provided is 2x1700mAh for $35 which is still better than current MP1650mAh for $46. Do you have any information regarding the company that built the battery? I don't want to buy 2 as I just need 1 as I don't plan to take off my case to replace it. If you be kind enough to provide some testing for us folks we would be grateful or ill have to go with MP1650mAh as I am not big fan of Innocell.

Will the battery in the OP's ebay link fit/work in a myTouch4G with stock battery door?

Well first of all I need detail regarding the battery itself as I want to check the company out. Which would determine the build quality and durability in long run. Far as the test goes stock 1400mAh vs TB 1700mAh I would like for you to first fully discharge it and recharge it so its calibrated. Then have blacklight 100% bright and CPU running highest that you can handle. Have wifi, life wallpaper, widgets on. Then pick a HD video and let it play till your battery runs out to 1% and shuts down. Make sure you record the data along with time for result. When you compare the duration of both B(1700mAh)-A(1400mAh) you will get the time elapsed. I know thats alot to ask but I really do want to put this test and compare it with MugenPower/Seidio Innocell, thanks.

lol I knew it was a longshot, I also really didn't think you would do it actually. Long ago I use to do that buy item and benchmark it and send it back hell I am sure alot of company is still pissed of at me for that. Like you ATM I myself don't have the time lol so I depend on the communities input to save time. Also I don't buy random companies product that I never heard of that is another reason I asked you for the detail. But 2x1700mAh for 35dollar does seem good only obvious question is what is wrong with it?

Hey, I realize this is a lot to ask, but I really need some help fixing some things around my house. I have a hole in the drywall in my master bathroom. Could you come to my house in Atlanta, GA and patch it up for me? I'm out of drywall patches, but fortunately, there's a Home Depot that you'll pass on your way here. Also, there is a stain in the carpet in my living room. I've tried and tried for hours to remove it, using everything from the cheap cleaner that I got at the local grocery store all the way up to using pure ammonia, which made me really sick. Do you think you could come over and clean it for me? If not, maybe you could stop in Dalton (it's local, only about 100 miles north of my house) and pick me up some new carpet. Also, by the time you get here, I'll probably be pretty hungry. Think you could stop and pick up some dinner? I like Mexican food. Three beef soft tacos and a plate of cheese nachos would be great! I know that's a lot to ask, but I really do want all this stuff, thanks.

I am hoping someone guineapigged themselves and can give some feedback. I really want to extend my battery but I must have a case, and we don't have a case for the HTC 2100 yet. Not to mention I read in here somewhere it doesn't add that much life.
Anyone?

I have the extended slim battery from Muegen batteries and love it
Definitely gave me more life than the OE battery
Also ordered their dock with the extra battery slot and couldn't be happier!

The Muegen battery is more than twice as expensive, and out of stock. I'm gonna give the CHICHITEC battery a try. Should get it around Wednesday next week.

Yeah, a battery is something that I would want to skimp out on and get a cheap one, to only have it malfunction and take my device with it
Never heard of that company either
Seidio also has a slim extended 1750mAh: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17htshf.htm

I'm generally careful with the battery situation. I also know that these expensive batteries are needlessly expensive. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on the function of these CHICHITEC batteries, and a lot of pride in the name, but that really isn't saying much.
I'll check it out and report back, though. It's pretty cheap so I don't mind incurring the cost. If it catches me on fire or whatever, I'll be sure to warn against it

I look forward to your review!

I bought those for my Incredible and use them for my Incredible 2. They're really great they even gave me a coupon for htcexpress.com code OFF10 for 10% ill assume its the same people from Amazon. There are a few problems. There is a small gap on the right side since the battery is bigger and you have to drain your battery until its dead for it to charge efficiently. From my experience I get 24 hours that's two nights just the screen off before root.

I literally just received it, so I can't review its capacity...
However, I can confirm its fit is not perfect. It is slightly thicker than the stock battery, and this is enough to make the cover bulge on one side. I removed the red label and this allowed it to close enough for my taste. I could probably shave the cover to get a better fit, but eh, not worth the potential damage.
Note: removing the red label exposes a metal cover. More than likely this is not connected to any circuitry nor chemical in the battery so it should be safe to handle and use. However, if you are not comfortable with exposing a metal cover like this, then don't take the label off.
It came charged a little over half full. It's charging now, we'll find out tomorrow how well it works.
I went ahead and dumped a bad review on amazon for the poor fit. Others may not be as comfortable with modding things as I am.

Sorry I'm acting like a kid. I have issues with delayed gratification.
Thanks for the quick reply, I look forward to hearing how you like it in the coming days.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App

Unless the capacity blows me away, I'll likely return to the stock battery. Yeah, the gap is tiny, but it's stressing the cover. This will wear over time.

It's advertised as 1900. I'm not giving it my typical daily commute drain due to having to stay home and wait for A/C repair man in 100+F degree weather (today's high: 103F).
I'll try to put it through its paces once I get a chance.
Edit: I'm running a stream right now that I'd typically listen to on my commute. I have an idea of the amount of drain that should happen so I can compare off of that. It'll take some time.

So far I'm not really impressed with this battery. I would expect the percentage drain would be lower, but it's about the same, if not slightly higher. I'll give it a few more days, if it remains this way, I'm switching back to my HTC battery.

Did you experience an increase in battery life after the first couple weeks with you OEM battery like I did? If so, would you expect the same "break-in" period with these?
Also, do you know of a way to reset the battery stats without root?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App

Calibration is the only sure way. Which is why I'm giving this more time. I've continued streaming for the past approximately 2 hours over 3G and I'm at 55%. I'm going to continue draining to see where it stops. I may go ahead and push for a bump charge for recalibration and see if I'm just seeing stats for a lower capacity battery.

On the first full charge I got a little over 5 hours of 3G streaming. This is pretty disappointing considering the stock battery can do the same. I am overclocking, but running on the conservative governor, so it shouldn't have been pushing the CPU all the way up (DI.FM streaming shouldn't be THAT CPU intensive). The display was off the majority of the time to emulate how I would actually use it in this situation.
MORE TESTING NEEDED!
I'll do another test this weekend running at stock clock if I get the chance. There's a gaming convention going on this weekend, though, so getting time may be an issue...
I wish I had something to actually test the capacity...

I've done one more test. I've swapped back to the stock battery. I do not recommend this battery. Real world usability does not outweigh the potential damage to your device due to the stress on the cover.
I might check out the Muegen battery as apparently it actually is better and may fit better.

Seido 3600 mah review

Pic doesn't really speak for anything. From the looks of that your phone had screen on time of about an hour maybe? Our stock battery can do that
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Not that good at all. I'm pulling similar numbers with the Nexus extended battery which is a 2100mah and does NOT make the phone fatter at all.

the screen doesnt take that much battery, its the polling of data that is taking energy, i know i stream tune-in radio for about 2 hours everyday (drive to and from work) and ussually if i have a stock battery i'll be down to 84% just to drive to work, by about 4-5pmpm it be almost dead just as i arrive at the house.
I know for a fact if you live in area where reception are bad, this battery will ultimately get me through the day, as if you have the stock battery it will be dead by noonish, polling data is a big deal that's why Juice defender works so well because, it bassiclly put your phone into airplane mode and therefore conserve battery.
o and I dont Dim my screen, or do anything that would hinder the purpose of a smart phone. been using this battery since it came out and it's worth it, I cant imagine having anything less. the size is not a factor at all, even my friend who is into ecstatic (dont know why, its a ****ing phone) he even admit that it's not that big, it might weight a bit more but to me that makes it more firm in my hand.

you either
A. dont use data, and use wifi
B. no synching
C. your screen brightness is down to 10%
D. you dont use your phone at all
E. all of the above
there is no way in hell you could get 30 hours on stock battery with "moderate" use...if moderate is define as not touching your phone every 3 hours then yes.

I can generally browse for "a few" hours on 4G without needing to plug in. I don't pay much attention to specifics as unlike the Note 1, the Note 2 isn't very limiting for me. The Note 1 was awful for needing a micro-reactor in your pocket almost. Do you keep your battery over 90% charge often? It's possible it's getting weaker as it gets older. You can order a replacement battery cheap enough and see. They also usually come with an external charger so you could just swap batteries and go. I do that on long road trips.

Is true the replacement battery maybe hurt the phone bcse they have diferent voltage? I heard that from some guy in yhe shop.

If you get a real Samsung battery I'd think not. Make sure the voltage matches. I can't remember, is the S3 3.7V or 3.8V? I got an Anker extended battery and it improved the battery life immensely.

It depends on many different factors not just screen on and 4g on. 1% per 3 minutes equates to 300 minutes or 5 hours. I have drained my battery completely in 4 +/- hours time. It's completely normal as I have other phones to compare it with. I have another note 2, 2 galaxy s3, iPhone 4s,5s that I have tested against and they provide worse battery life in same situation.
Not all these phones are mine. I just swap it with family/friend members to test out for a day or two.
For batteries I recommend Anker. I have 2 Ankers for my note 2 and 3 Ankers for my galaxy s3.

Since I use my N2 as my laptop replacement and am on it all day, battery life was a problem for me from the beginning. I found Battery Drain Analyzer helpful. I kept it running for a couple of months and was able to determine which apps consume the most power (widgets, by far). But, after having spent hours trying different underclocking configurations without much success as far as saving a lot of power, I ended up buying three extra OEM batteries. It's really awesome to not have to worry about it. I just keep them in my pocket and swap them out as needed. It's not a very technologically advanced solution, but, it sure is effective. I also picked up this, and, obviously, now, I am never without power. Also, I use this Charger for the spares. It takes a long time to charge the batteries, but charges them fully to 100%, whereas, charging the battery in the phone doesn't seem to work as well.

MobileTechReview does a review of the Zero Lemon. The back case is the only thing that keeps me from getting it. Not that it sticks out, but that it's like a soft rubber. The whole back. The video shows it better than I can explain it.

Think that was the original case they reviewed? They changed it a little bit (better fit) before the release a week or two ago. They are also coming out with a rugged case in about a month.

New battery, insane battery performance

I've gone through a number of batteries and long story short, they've all sucked. Even the original stock battery was crap. I've been using this battery for almost 4 weeks and I've been getting absolutely stellar battery life. I'm well beyond that initial conditioning phase.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2450mAH-EB6..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4ac2c14f8b
2450mah. I'm usually skeptical of higher mah ratings as you can only cram so much juice into a given form factor, but I'm left wondering if lion chemistry has really improved this much. Ever so slightly thicker than a standard stock battery (same size as the 2100mah andida if anyone else had one), but fits the stock battery back w/ a bit of manipulation. E4GT is stock GB27 (w/ root). I'll get more screenshots now that I'm really paying attention to performance.
I'm getting consistent 4hours+ of screen on time while actively using the phone. 2 google accounts, sync enabled, no kernel tricks, 'auto' screen brightness (not lowest), haven't even disabled useless apps, etc.
Sample size will soon be 2; i've ordered a 2nd battery for my wife's phone so I'll compare once it gets here.
tldr: 4+, could probably eek out 5 hours of active screen on phone use w/ a standard size (non-ugly hump) battery.

Nice I can barely get 1 hour of battery life from mine.

How's the battery holding up now about 6-7 weeks since you got it? Still really good battery life? When you do about 4-5 hours of screen time how many hours of battery life are you getting? Also what rom are you on? And how does your wife's battery that you ordered compare? Sorry for the 21 questions, but thanks

I'm wondering this too.

im also wondering if this is legit...not a bad investment for $7 but it wouldnt even be here for another month. I just got an epic 4g for $50 and am super satisfied with it (coming from the beast Note 2)...I'm actually surprised with its performance all around EXCEPT for the battery life. I do realize the battery and phone are close to 2 years old which is why im looking into a new battery.....
but really, selling my note 2 for 400 and picking this up for 50 is prob the best investment I ever made, saving my upgrade for "the next next big thing" :good:

I'm curious as well.. OP please deliver!!

I bought 2 of these for $10 about 2 weeks ago and so far so good. With 4g, bluetooth, and gps on all day, I get about 14 hrs (with 3.5-4hrs screen time) and still have about 15% before putting it to charge. Great deal

So you been using it for 2 weeks? Is it really a stock sized battery - will fit with otterbox? Think I might get it... 4 hours screen time is excellent

I'm on Calks EL29, so not a JB rom, but yes 2 weeks. Its a little tight, so I took the label wrap off to save some thickness.

Is it able to fit inside the phone without having to buy a replacement back?

Yes, you still use the same stock back the phone came with, its just tighter.
The only question in my mind is longevity, as I have purchased some knockoff batteries (sold as Samsung OEM with almost identical labeling as the original battery), that started to degrade within a month and now are useless except for short term emergencies.
Most people on these forums swear by Anker batteries, which I've never tried, but I still have Ferocity Mobile batteries (bought on ebay but no longer sold) which are still going strong. They just dont hold a candle to these 2450s,so they are my backup batteries now (have two Epic Touch phones in the family).
I will report back periodically on how they are performing over time.

Would you or OP be able to do a test on those 2450 batteries that OP has? Do you have the same type of battery as OP? If so could you please run a streaming netflix 3g test on it and see how long it runs till it drains from 100 to zero. I'm a HEAVY user on my phone and that would be the closest way to gauge it to my usage even though i don't stream video all day lol. Thank you

Yes, same battery as the OP.
Link the test and I'll try it.

Well there's really no test link. I meant if you could just drain it under heavy usage and post a picture of the Battery usage and then the screen on time. Thanks

I'm not a Netflix guy.
Bottom line: Its cheap and gets to you fairly quick considering China, so why not take a shot if you need a battery?

You're right and it does fit in the original battery cover which is awesome. For the conditioning what did you do? Did you do a full discharge then recharge 6 times?

Bought two

Figured it was worth a shot since it is so cheap.Any recommendations for methods or software to calibrate? Just charge/discharge cycles as listed above or something else?

Callibratimg doesn't do anything useful. It doesn't hurt either but it is pointless.

How about calibrating a bigger battery? I have the QCell 4100 and I was told to calibrate it everytime I pull it off the charger at 100%.

Callibratimg does nothing for the battery. It clears the battery stats. That's it. A reboot does the same thing.
