1500 high capacity battery P3300

Who can tell me if such batteries really make a difference? I have found many to replace the standard 1200 but I wonder if they are really 1500 and last longer.

????
1500>1200, no?

I could work that out myself. I just wanted to know if anybody has any experience and suggestions. The high capacity battery I bought for my previous PDA was supposed to last longer but I hardly noticed any difference.

where you bought it ? can you tell us more about the mark of such battery? and the specs?

I am interested in buying a new one and not in the high capacity battery of my old PDA, which I no longer have.
The one I would like to buy is described as follows: "1500mAh Akku f. HTC P3300/T-Mobile MDA compact III#37. These batteries are made from high Quality Japanese cells of extended Capacity and have no memory effects".

I had an iPaq rx3715 with a 1440 mAh battery and bought the 2880 mAh version. It trippled (!!!) my running time. The battery would last 40 hours with minimum backlight, 24 with medium, 12 hours for video playback with very big power consuming headphones, 10 hours surfing with WLan and playing power draining games and 30 hours of mp3 playback. That pda already has almost unbeatable battery uptime, but with that battery it was perfect.
I got it from akku.net, a German store. They sold me good quality batteries up to now but they don't have that "high" capacity battery. I don't think that you can call 1500 mAh actually high capacity. 2400 would be minimum for me. 1500 mAh at the same size would be an option but not if it is bigger than the actual battery.

I agree, 1500 is still a "low" capacity, i have 8.2V 7200 mAh batteries at home. I wouldnt bother changing from 1200 to 1500, you really wont notice a difference. After a while batteries will stop holding their charge so well anyway.
I'm waiting for 7200 mAh lol

just for the records,
There are 2400 mAh Batterys for the Artemis available. But they are, as one would expect bigger than the ones shipped with your device. So when purchaising a high capacity Battery you'll get a new Battery Cover shipped with it so the biger battery will fit into your device.

Exelent comparative!
I think I`ll stick to original size

good info. thanks!

waiting for tests.very interesting

I'm not sure about the tests at the moment, but DO NOT BUY 4800 mAh battery for Uni, it's a crap! 3200 mah is the best of all batteries (perfect life about 4-5-6-7 days) .
4800 mAh life = original 1620 mAh battery life

I bought 4800 & 3200 batteries two years ago and i totally agree with Win_xp conclusions.

3800mAh
I have this one http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=139188 since November 2005 and it is still the best you can get as it is just one pice.

I've just bought a 3150mAh battery from SuperGPS.co.uk and ran a simple test. Playing a 352x240, 30fps Divx, at low brightness, I reckon I'll see over four hours - exactly what I wanted!

I have all 3 batteries, too.....and Win_xp is absolutely right, the 4800mah is crap, compared to the 3200.
....guys, if you charge 4800 SLOWLY (10-15H) in uni through usb and not with the 3200 charger (or not with 3200charger+final 30% in uni, as I was doing before) you'll get much better result (not 3200, but similar....).
Probably you already know, but charging 4800mah batteries with the stand alone usb charger gives green light and stops charging as soon as they hit 3200mah.....

really? ive read on some other sites about the 4800 batts being good but it was up and down, my girlfriend ordered me one and its on its way and i was wondering what kind of battery life to expect and what is the right way to charge it, so this means that i can only charge it via usb? i just wanted a good high life battery as i have an old original 1600batt that wont last4 hrs at standby and 1 hour active, so how should i use it & charge it and out of who has this batt what kind of life should i expect?

6 houres of continuos use from full (100%) to flat (5%). Never charged on usb: i'll try tonight.

What is meant by this? I normally charge the 4800mah via USB with the battery in my qtek.
I have the same problem with the 4800mah battery; it does not contain 4800mah, that's for sure! So, I would like to know:
what is the best way to charge a 4800mah battery?

Swiss Charger GPower 1500 mAh Rechargeable Battery for Samsung Galaxy S II

Anyone heard of this product called "Swiss Charger GPower 1500 mAh Rechargeable Battery" for Samsung Galaxy S II? Any reviews about it?

it looks very nice but cant find any reviews on it, would be keen to see the quality of it

I have been using this product. It is good...it charges your battery to almost 60% from complete 0..very useful while travelling...
Plus with its box it accompanies a PC-Phone cable and 1 scratch guard.

Swiss Charger GPower
Hi
I have been using the Swiss Charger GPower for more than 3 months now,
Pros
- Does the job of adding extra battery backup
- adds 40% more battery backup
- give the phone a bit of protection
Cons
- the sleekness of S2 is lost
- makes the phone heavy a bit but extra battery time is worth it
Issues I am facing
- I have a S2, GT9100G, 2.3.6 stock none rooted device, i used to find that the USB connectivity with my widows 7 64 bit was not stable,
- just after 5 min the device would not work and the driver will show "device not responding"
- removing the USB cable, and reconnecting brings back the connection
- to hold the connection, I had to keep my finger moving on the Phone screen looked as if when phone goes to sleep, the USB conenction was not waking up
I contacted the Samsung service - and as a solution the reflashed my handset, things worked fine and my phone was connecting normally with no failure
but
when i put it back in the Swiss charger and try to connect, i have the same issue - so the original issue was not with the device but with the charger
has anyone faced a similar problem? what is a possible solution?
Will appreciate a reply as changing between covers might take its toll on the phone
Cheers

hie i bought this swiss charger yesterday in india..
it started well showed 2 dots of charge level...
i utilised it to charge my sgs2..
bt aft dat it didnt showed anything..
its not showing battery level even aft keepin on charge whole night with my cell..
pls suggest me how to charge o replace this product...

Dear Dholyabhai,
When you press the power button of GPower, it shows the blue indicator that it is charging, the amount of charge at hand is indicated by the number of blue indicators. but after some time the indicator does not show up (I guess this is to save power wastage). you can still see the phone being charged in the Phone charge indicator on the notification bar.
when put the phone with Gpower to charge, it looks both get charged and since the battery now is 1500+1650 the time taken goes up a bit (depends on the charger trickle rate)
Cheers

can someone post pics of this

Today bought this device in Spain (25 euro), was looking for it before in Ukraine, but only available by preorder.
Nice looking while SG2 inside, soft touch quite durable as for me.
Everything else you may find on above youtube video. Definitely Gpower "must have" device for long range traveler as me.

that swiss charger does look ok , have you ever thought about one of these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet®-Du...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1335310567&sr=1-1
or even a desktop charger and spae battery??
that usb battery pack i linked should be good to charge your sgs2 over 3x from empty on stock battery

That one also good which i use now (see screenshots). The big advantage here that you can insert any capacity NiMh accumulators and also ordinary unrechargable batteries. Moreover if accumulators inserted they are charging slowly via sunlight panel + you got long lasting flashligt packed with 5 diods. Tested one time on 2500 mah NiMh accum. constant lighting time more than 24 hours.
So now I got extended battery 2000 mah + swiss charger 1500 mah + extra accum set 2500 mah = 6000 mah total power.
I bought this device 3 years ago in my city and still it selling here. Price is around 35$. It comes with commonly used adapters for Nokia, Ericsson, etc phones + microUSB+miniUSB.

4150mAh? That is more than my laptop's battery. I would love to see what kind of runtimes you get with that beast

Wow! Thanks for the heads up on this. Ordering one of each.

Would love to hear the results on the slim battery - wonder if it really reads higher than the stock 2500mah battery.

These seem awfully cheap. Is QCell a reputable manufacturer of batteries?

omg it looks so ugly and for sure it will burn your galaxy note... have fun ^^

Waiting eagerly for reviews of both ...
Somewhat dubious at that price though

Can you please post some picture with the extended battery and cover attached to the Note

Here's pretty accurate picture

Voltage * capacity = total power
Your laptop battery is around ~15V, which is 4 to 5 times higher than the battery in the note.

the lack of the polarity signs on top, and the price , and the fact that they are chinese batterys http.. etc etc ..superexporter.com/suppliers/quality111699398794775225-ningbo_qcel_battery_co_ltdDOThtml (can´t post links) makes me believe that they are just like all the others chinese fakes in ebay, worth the buy .. but don´t be expecting big mah numbers.. in fact don´t even expect 80 % of the mah of stock battery

Agreed. I get about 50% of 'stated' mAh on my Chinese batteries. Still a good buy, don't get me wrong, but I am going to pay the extra $15 to get a stock battery now.

Did the 2800 give you more time or its fake?

isn't those chinese batteries harmful for the device .... and can any one post an image for the battery usage

4150mAh @ 3.7 volts though. I bet your laptop battery runs closer to 15 volts! THe more important figure is how many watt/hr's the battery can supply.
4150mAh @ 3.7v = 15.2625 watt/hr (4.125*3.7)
4150mAh @ 15v = 61.875 watt/hr (4.125*15)

anyone with the test reports of the same

not worth it.
I bought one of each and the slim one did not even last a day. And the thick one lasted exactly a day. I was surfing the net for about one hour constantly texting maybe a 2hr phn call total. And some games like temple run and asphalt. I still recommend the mugen 3400mah this lasted me a day and a half doing the same things.

If you're using an external battery with your HTC One, what model is it?

See subject line.

I use a Ravpower charger with 10400mAh of power.
Very reliable charger and I got it at a great price on Amazon.

I got a 5000mA Vaas charger from amazon I think for real cheap. It works well. Has fully charged my Nexus 7 and then some.

When you say "batteries of your choice", does that include non-rechargeable alkaline batteries?
EDIT: Having consulted Wikipedia's page about battery types, I'm guessing not.

Nope strictly 18650 rechargeable lithium, by choice i meant brand and capacity.
Generally 2600mah is the wisest choice, as any higher will either discharge faster or not be a true capacity.
It was ideal for me, as im also a torch buff which mainly uses these kind of cells so saves a fair bit.
Plus if the pack faults it's a cheap fix either way.

I've had one of these for a few months now:
http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-BP-SC4...&qid=1367022960&sr=8-1&keywords=solar+charger
It did charge my One about one whole time and the Opteka still had juice for more, but I have been looking at the higher capacity (10400mAh) battery packs for charging on my longer trips.
