Sprint HTC Evo Extended Battery (2600 mah)

Sorry if this already has been posted, I did not see it posted anywhere on here.
I just went to return my car dock at Sprint and they said they had just received shipments of Sprints' own extended battery + covers for sale. It was $54 after taxes. Comes with 2 covers, one white which is painted so it's smooth, the other a black that has the rubbery finish on the back.
Not bad for the price, I mean sure it can't beat the Ebay ones (which I ordered the 2 3000)
I am going to guess this is basically a Seidio rebrand?

Did you see any cases for it?

No I did not. I asked but they said they do not know of any coming out yet. I can't find this battery announced anywhere so it must be a brand new item from Sprint, guess I got lucky.

jesus it makes the evo look like a damn hunchback. i wish these companies would make these slimline only.

With phones outpacing battery technology by a very large margin, this is the only way so far. I mean there is the option of carrying a second battery, but that seems a little unnecessary. I'll trade aesthetics for convenience and utility.

Can these be purchased online?
mr2man07 .. how are the 3000mah batteries working for you, have you tested them? I've read eBay batteries are lower than actually rated as they arent regulated, even the Seidio's are falsely rated.

Thanks for the heads up, gonna pick one up tomorrow...
Just picked it up , charging .. Got the last one in the store ....

I do not even think they are announced from Sprint yet. I managed to get lucky and the guy told me they had them in stock if I was interested. Told me it was $49.99 and I jumped on it.
I have yet to receive them. They are still about a week out, maybe less. This one has only dropped about 15% over 5 hours of moderate-heavy usage. This is on the Fresh rom with battery-config script.

They are online

Do you know if they add the same height as the seidio 3500? I have the innocase extended on mine with the innocase extended holster ordered. I wonder if it would work with this battery. Also let us know how the battery does. I wonder how many actual mah it is.

I have no idea how it compares to a Seidio. I have not had the opportunity to do a comparison.

Keep us posted on the performance. I think it will probably been on par with the 3500 batteries.

nice find!
now if we could only get an OEM extended slim battery.
i just can't bring myself to use an extended back. i love my cyclops case too much.

30 minutes of Angry Birds, 30 minutes of Reckless Racing, 30 minutes of browsing and 3 youtube videos, the rest being standby with WiFi at 7 1/2 hours total time uncharged, it barely dropped 20%. Whereas my oem battery would be around 40-50%. This being on only the batteries first full chrage.
I love it, it is no longer mandatory to put the phone on the charger just to navigate to clients for work, or to be able to use tethering.
I am a Network Technician, and I use my phone a LOT during work days, and this battery will help me greatly.
Obviously, this is not for everybody. I see my phone as a utility, a tool for my job and a personal gadget/toy on off-hours, not some fashion device, so its "beauty" is not as important as its functionality.

Jesus H Christ, that backplate and battery looks bigger and crappier than my Chinese-made 3500mAh, which I got two of at just over 1/3 the price.

im new to the forums but been following and taking UR guys advice for a while....anyways I just picked one of these up today to. Last one at that. I was gonna get the 3500 mah battery from hk right before I bought this one but went with this since oem. I would like to see how long it last.
Update: its now close to 6 hours of being in my phone under heavy usage and it hit 15% and that was out of package with no charging.

Rule of thumb on these is most batteries are shipped with a 50-60% charge from the manufacturer . It also has yet to be seen if this battery is truely a 2600mah . As its well known from Batteryboss even the Seidio doesnt hold a true 3500mah charge . From batteryboss the Seidio is only holding 80% of its advertised capacity . If the battery from Sprint holds true to that ratio it still will hold a charge of 2080mah (This is just theory and estimated) . You should see an improvement over battery performance from stock . Give the battery a few charge / discharge cycles .

Just grabbed one last night and not really sure if Im gonna keep it. The main issue I have is my phone is completely naked now. Ive got no holster or protective case and Im paranoid about dropping it. Gonna try and see if theres some type of case at best buy tonight that will fit this battery even if I have to modify it.
As far as life goes, Just took it off the charger so gonna try and use it heavier than normal today and see what I get

Crazy 3800mAh battery - should I try my luck?

So I've seen a couple of eBay auctions for 3800mAh GNex batteries. I can't post the URLs here as links because I'm a too new here ( :-( ).
The price is right and the promise of 2x the rather modest battery life of the 1750mAh battery in my GSM GNex is hard to resist.
What does everyone think?

It will double the thickness of your Nexus, and has a cheap (and probably) non-ergonomic back cover.

I wouldn't it get as it has no NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna in it. Also, most of those cheap Ebay batteries are not rated as advertised.

Try it and get back to us. I'm trying the 2300 and 1900 mah GSM cheapo batteries from ebay and getting back to the community afterwards

Yes - that's one of them. Do a search for i9250 3800 and you'll be able to find the other.
Admittedly the back case doesn't look as nice as the stock one, but what I'm really worried about is my phone exploding in my pocket and injuring me. Or at least destroying my $600 phone.

This manufacturer has had a lot of similar units for various phone models.
I had been using a version for the Samsung Infuse 4G with no issues for 4 months or so, so I would expect the same for the Galaxy Nexus variant.
One thing to keep in mind however: these batteries DO NOT have the NFC Antenna in them, so you will not be able to use Google Wallet or the Android Beam options.

These batteries are actually are from a Droid Charge. I read it one galaxy nexus and i have tested it myself. There are some Droid Charge 3800mAh battery with good reviews you. But you still will need a back cover and will have NFC.

$11.89 for cover & battery seems fair for 3,800 mAh:

Just be aware that all batteries are not created equal, especially from china. Surefire batteries, specifically 18950 batteries used in high end flashlights. They just put a new shrinkwrap and recharge old batteries. Good or bad, it dont matter at least they look new. They advertise 3000mah, youd be lucky to get 2 of 10 that are 2000mah.

Well, given the price, I'd have to say it's going to suck, but then again - it's not that much money to try it - if you really need something that huge.
I would try it, but I'd rather wait for a package that comes with a case. In the end it's a $725 device that I don't want ding'd.

After trying a lot of these batteries on most of my phones over the years, I say that if it aint sold by the phone manufacturers, save your time and money.

I think you're thinking of 18650 batteries. Flashlight forums usually rate the surefires rather well compared to the others.

I'd say give it a try. those are generics. back in my multiple battery craziness days, i had 2 of those same generics for my Thunderbolt. they were ok.. at least they actually worked anyway. didn't use them long enough though to comment on longevity.

Yeah, I know what you mean about multiple battery craziness lol. I have two generic batteries for my Thunderbolt AND a huge Seidio extended battery along with my OEM. The generics work just as well as the OEM.

Generally any battery for your smart phone under $40.00 probably isn't rated at what it says it is. I've managed a fairly good collection over the years. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to them.

Andida 2600 maH BAttery for the Galaxy Note?

Hi, I was wondering if any of you had try that Andida battery yet? Andida usually make very good alternative battery to original but this product is still very new, I cant find any review anywhere yet about it.

Sorry for the broken link before, the link is here:

Hello, I'm wondering the same if any user have any experience with this battery that claims 10 to 15% more battery juice for the note.
http://tinyurl.com/74h85h2
It seems that Japanese batteries instead of Chinese batteries have more xxx on providing the claimed power or mah. If that is the case, there is other two interesting batteries to explore:
3000 MAH
http://tinyurl.com/6wohgsy
2900 MAH
http://tinyurl.com/6sayynn
Also, these two batteries cost more than other ebay offers of 2 batteries plus charger. That seems to say something too. I am tempted to try the 3000MAH. Right now I'm just getting 12 hrs with my use style. I would love to extend to 15-16 hrs. That would allow me for a typical work day.
Right now I'm using 4-AA Imedion batteries within a Gomadic charger. This allows me three days of extra power before needing to charge the AA.

I know for sure Andida have a good reputation, I dont know about these 2 others brand.
For sure I would like to know more if some forum user experimented already.

Sorry about posting the other options. I felt in the marketing hype. It seems that company (e-cell) is not selling Japanese brands and others with others phones beware of that.
So it seems we should stay with already proven brands like Andida, Anker and others. I will try Andida and let you know.

I bought 1 original Samsung Battery and one other "oem" that I never trusted. I'm about to buy that 3000mAh ...Did you try it?
Sent from my Xoom on EOS ICS Everest

No, I didn't. The thing is that if you search within the forum for the "Gold" battery from business batteries, you'll find that everybody say it is not Japanese battery to begin with and just hold around 80% of the marketed mah. That is less than original samsung. Other said it lost juice around the 10 charge. It seems that all batteries sold from e-cell in ebay have this problems. Getting a battery for a phone that is old maybe is ok, but since we are looking more power I think we should look somewhere else.
OTOH, it seems brands like Andida, Anker and Mugen are more recognized brands. I will try the Andida and hope to hear something around 3000mah from Mugen.

Don't try the gold battery!!!!! I had it with my HTC desire. Its an outright fake. If you tear off the gold sticker, its a really lousy cell with cardboard stuffed. Lower than OEM!
In fact, I had 2 of this ****. Shameful dispray!!

I purchased 2 batteries from China for 5$, free shipping.
First the China batteries are light, my digital scale says for the genuine Note battery 49 grams, an both chinese are 41 grams.
There is 8-9 grams less material to accumalate current.
And its true, chinese cheap ones last, full charged, 20% less than genuine.
For me its OK for that price, if i need extra power, the two chinese are in my pocket, as spare batteries.

so these extended batteries are same size as stock?

Stick to Mugen and Anilda.

using it andida 2600mah almost 10 charges what i say bad then original. My ori batt from 100% to 99% around 15min on andida confirm less then 10min just normal browsing.

Guys I even tried Chinese battery and (as someone said) it's just lower in terms of weight. It even SMELLS...but works! Performance is about a 20/30% less instead of oem ones and I just leave it in case of an emergency.
About the "Gold" battery of e-cell, I don't really trust in a battery which seems powerful (in mAh) keeping the same shame! It's not logical, by the way I advice you to buy only Genuine OEM batteries and PERSONALLY I don't trust in sellers who say "genuine...oem...IN BULK". Original Samsung battrries are NOT in a bulk

Just wanted to share that info. I wouldn't waste my my money when their are much cheaper, just as good alternatives.
I however bought the Hyperion extended battery and couldn't be happier for just over $20 shipped from Amazon. I went about 48 hours on the first charge with 17% left (see screen capture below). I haven't even gone through the 4-5 discharge cycles yet and it's amazing. I love the feel of the thicker phone. Not much heavier, but completely worth it. The fit of the cover is excellent.

Agreed! And the cover is great. I have no idea what Mugen is thinking.

holy ****nitzz...100$ for only like 200 more mah wow so lame

tigerboom said:
The problem with cheaper batteries is that they use cheap low quality cells. In the begining they provide super-good results, but after 1-2 months they degrade radically, so if you want a year of performance you have to buy 4-6 such batteries.
Mugen uses good quality japanese cells and they last for 1 or 2 years, so you just buy one battery and use it for longer period -> lower cost and less hassle.

its more expensive because of the so called higher quality cells are being used in higher priced batteries....

Not trying to flame you here but where have you seen it "proven"??
I certainly agree there seems to be quite a few happy purchasers in these forums for the Hyperion battery and that's certainly great and I, myself just recently ordered the Hyperion battery as well, but let's put some things in perspective here...
* As tigerboom pointed out, DON'T expect longevity with the Hyperion battery. At about 1/2 the cost of the OEM battery and at the same time supposedly 2x the capacity...That should already be a strong indicator there's sacrifices going on. Then again, my smartphone lifecycle is about a year or a little longer anyway so if the cheapo batteries can hold up for that long then I'm golden!
* There's little to no regulation on how a manufacturer goes about rating their battery's capacity! I'd be willing wager that the Hyperion's rated 3800mAH is probably closer to the neighborhood of 2700mAH (give or take)...Whereas with the Mugens (being a very well known and renowned brand) is probably right at the rated capacity. Then again, even if the cheapo Hyperions are well less than their rated capacity but still well more than the stock battery? Heck that's still a win in my book!
* Don't expect great customer service on cheapo batteries.
All in all, give the quality batteries like the Mugen their due, but unless you plan to keep your phone for a LONG LONG time (cause that battery ain't gonna fit in your new one!) and need a rock solid dependable battery thats got a capacity to last until the next ice-age, them cheapo Hyperions will probably do the job just fine and not break the bank!

Got the Hyperion and so far so good. I get a full day of usage now.

The Hyperion is only 20$..... It's not like it's actually as big as it advertises. If anything it's probably only about 1000 mAh bigger than the original. Mugen are built for quality, which is why they're so expensive.

Take a look at this:
http://batteryboss.org/
Basically every third party battery maker lies about capacity. Mugen, Seidio, etc...

even teh OEMs aren't quite at their rated capacity, though they are definitely the closest to what they advertise

Right, theres no way to guarantee exact mAh. Some OEM batteries do say a "typical" and "maximum" mAh rating since it does vary from battery to battery.
However, the third party guys being 20-30% off from their supposed rating is ridiculous. 5-10% would be acceptable.

can anyone confirm the max time they get running as a hot spot with hyperion?

I haven't used the phone as a hot spot long enough to drain the whole battery, but I ran it for a while and remember thinking the drain really wasn't too bad. Sorry, can't be more precise with numbers.

Mugen 2300mAh battery-is it worth it?

I'm thinking of getting the Mugen 2300 milliamp/hour battery, but for 44 dollars, is it worth it? I game a lot, download a bunch of apps or update them, facebook, browse Google Play, etc. Will I have any issues with my Speck Candyshell case? I'm thinking of this one because its size is the same as the OEM battery and I don't wanna have to get a new battery door.

been using the iphone past month just switched back to the s3 today. Well last night.
Battery fits oem door. On my first charge so i cant comment on battery life.
Theres a 7 percent discount code that u can get on the website, i forgot where. I bought it when it was on sale for 38.
Shipping takes about a week and a half. They ship from china!

for the price, i would say no
its better to get the oem samsung battery.
its cheaper i think
slighly smaller capacity
but at least its made by samsung and can be more trusted
just my $0.02

Bad resource. I'm using Mugen Power for 2 years already and cannot imagine an Android phone without their battery.
The 2300mAh is more of a replacement battery, because it only adds 200mAh, but if you really need power, I'd go for their 4600mAh battery.

Looks interesting. It doesn't seem like its false information but maybe they decided on making better quality for the S3 batteries. I'll be receiving the 4600mAH Mugen battery soon and I'll have bench mark comparisons against the Hyperion, Anker, QCell, and Seidio. Hopefully it turns out ok for the price Mugen's charging us.

For the price it's just better to get one of the extended batteries /w door off Amazon. They're cheap and juice filled.
I'm using the OEM, because I don't want a huge-mungo thickness out of my thin phone and the battery services me well enough.

Bad resource. I'm using Mugen Power for 2 years already and cannot imagine an Android phone without their battery.
The 2300mAh is more of a replacement battery, because it only adds 200mAh, but if you really need power, I'd go for their 4600mAh battery.

maybe the information is too old..but he was using a hardware to test the battery performance..so i think the test is valid.
below is an example of batteryboss battery test result on xda..

I wouldn't spend that much. I bought two Qcell batteries and a charger on Amazon for $25. They advertise 2300mah. Not sure if it's truly 2300 but it last just as long if not a tiny bit longer than my stock battery. They also have NFC built in. Individually the Qcell batteries are $10, so you could have 3 spare batteries and a charger for less than the price of one mugen battery.
I've been using the Qcells for about 2 months now. I havnt had any issues with them and NFC works great.

They got caught putting a fake capacity. Switched the title to 2100mAH

I also use the QCell batteries and they work great. One of the best deals on batteries in my opinion. I have also tried other ones from eBay and they don't even come close to the QCell ones.
