Seidio 3500mAh evo battery...

I bought it and it finally came in today...all I can say is it's the best money I have spent. The fit and quality and reserve power is amazing. Out of the box it had 56% life. I have tried draining it with movies, qik, anything that pulls juice...gps on, wifi on (i know it actually uses less batt on wifi but I have 12m net lol), even have the brightness up...after 2 1/2 hours I have only pulled it down to 40%!
I know there are other batteries that are very cheap compared to this unit but I can say fit is excellent. Power is shocking...it is well worth the $65 to own such a power, well designed battery and back plate. The non skid coating doesnt even fly off my center console anymore. GREAT PRODUCT! very satisfied!

Yep. I have a Platinum branded 3500 mAh from Seidio, and it lasts forever. Don't know how I ever got by without it.

Does the battery get more powerful overtime?

For me it got better after about the fifth charge.
Swyped from my Cyanogen HaxTC Supersonic 4G

Can anyone post pics please?

I can't post links yet due to post count so you will have to play around with my links to see them. Add http and also dot com to Amazon.
Seidio looks like this:
amazon/Seidio-Innocell-Extended-Battery-Black/dp/B003SNIR7Y
I personally don't like the "bulky" square look on this one. I opted for the Quickshippers version. Much more smooth and "cleaner." Not to mention about 1/2 the price.
amazon/SHIPPING-UPGRADE-3500mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B0042TY68C

Was in the market for a new case until I saw the Quickshippers battery... My main concern has always been camera protection.. The battery cover alone looks like it would do the job, no?

also anyone in the market for these extended batteries. There is kernel developed that allows for full charging of the them. SBC kernal it comes in sense and AOSP

Here is the link for the Quickshippers option. If anyone has this, let me know what you think in regards to protecting the camera in particular.

I have the same battery and have a couple of tricks you may or may not know. I get about two days out of mine with moderate to heavy usage.
1. when the charge light goes green, the batt isn't full. charge about 3 or more hours over to get a full charge. I charge mine overnight and it's good. If you remove right after the light goes green you will not see much difference from the stock battery.
2. I just recently started running Calkulin's new kernel. I'll give you the link. I use the one that says SBC for Netarchy's CFS More Aggressive 4.2.1 (aka 131) 131.zip (2.91 MB). Find the one that best suites your rom, This one kicks ass. Scroll down to the second post. Here's the link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876590
3. as far as turning things off while not using them, that's up to you. I dont and I still get the great life.
Hope this might help! Enjoy that awesome batt. By the way, bout the green light, the phone only recognizes either when the batt reaches 1500 or it reaches the proper voltage that makes the phone think the batt is full. It was set that way for use with the stock batt. This is what I've read bout and recognized from personal experience.

Not sure I want to **** w the kernel atm. I managed 60 hours and charge the phone every 2 days...its amazing

That's great time. If it works great. The one I spoke of is supposed to be the newest and hottest thing out because of its ability to trickle charge the batt. When I take the phone off charge, it stays at 100% for hours if I dont use it. I've taken it off charge in the morning before just to test it and woke up bout 4 hours later and the phone was still at 100%. I've never fully tested to see how long mine will last as far as hours. I could guess that I would get at least the same as you. For instance, I took it off charge yesterday about 10am and right now I have 61%, granted I have had it connected to the computer a couple of times to download and transfer stuff.

Seidio 3200mAh Battery Now Shipping!

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bacy32mtatr-bk.htm
Now available for the Atrix 4G.
Includes an extended battery door, and supposedly only adds 0.5cm to the back, which isn't bad.
Please feel free to post thoughts on the idea of getting one, or if you own it, your experience with the new battery.
Thanks all.

I don't understand why Seidio insists on having the extra battery space be a straight edged bump...Why can't they smooth the edges into the case...Actually show they THOUGHT about DESIGN for a change.

wow, i wonder what type of real battery life that would give...

Wow that is horrible

Dis-gus-ting.

that looks waaayyy more than .5 cm

Welcome back to 1999 folks...

It does seem a tad large. Anyone else find any larger capacity batteries out there besides this one? I was awaiting the Seidio one for a while...bummer

I've been waiting for this

I remember when I bought one of these for my Motorola Milestone.
It makes the phone look like those vintage smartphones of the 90's. Bulky and heavy. Also system can't read the real battery life left. So in a few hours your metter drops down to 1%. Then the red led will blink constantly, unless you reboot the phone so the battery metter resets. Then you'll have to repeat the same process again 2 or 3 more times.
Then we have the battery cover. It was horrible plastic with four cheap metal locks to secure it to the phone.
Having seen the pics of the one for the Atrix, I doubt the story is so much different now.
I have a question to those willing to buy this: how much more battery life do you need?. Under heavy usage my Atrix lasts a whole day, and I have around 30% left at night. I can surf the web, listen to music through bluetooth, play some retro games through Yongzh emulators the hour it takes to travel from my home to my job and vice versa and the battery metter rarely drops more than 10%. With normal usage, the phone reachs the night around 70%.
So I don't see the point in transforming the phone in a Startac.

Hi ive seen various threads on various batteries but im very interested in these 2300mah and 1950mah standard size batteries on ebay. Anyone had any hands on experience of these and if so are they anygood?
A short comparison to the standard sony 1500mah would be great
Not interested in mugen too expensive for me and i already own a 2600 mah cheapy which is great but too big and ugly.
Anyone tried these out?

Look up gtmax 1780mah xperia play battery on amazon. I'd post the link if I could.
Best deal on an extended battery. Significant increase in battery life, fits with the stock battery cover, and its only $5. It's what I have.

I know you don't want to hear about Mugen Power...
But I will tell you anyway that I have a Mugen Power battery and it gives my phone a full 20 hours of battery life. This is 20 hours of playstation emulation, web browsing, GPS and other forms of very intense use.
This battery is worth every single dollar I spent on it. I makes the phone and consequently me 100% independent of car chargers, wall chargers and other such obstructions.
It is very liberating to know that when I walk out that door in the morning, I can depend on this phone for the entire day. Give the mugen power another look.

I purchased this 2600mah battery from batterybay.net and I simply love it. It works so much better the nthe 1950mah battery I got from Ebay earlier this month. I get a day and half on this thing. And I am a heavy user, lots of gaming and internet usage. This thing was $17 with free shipping, but be warned it took mine 3 weeks to get to me. Either way I totally love this battery. I have not had to charge my phone during the day in weeks, I charge it when I got to bed of course. But Ih ave never had the battery less that 60% at the end of the day.
http://www.batterybay.net/Extended-...n-Xperia-Play-p/sony ericsson -cs-er800bl.htm

but youre still missing the point that he wanted a battery without an extra back cover.

I really don't get some of these requests? A lot of people seem to want a battery that's superior to the stock one, but don't want any extra size, any extra weight and want it very very cheap. If this battery existed, don't you think Sony would have put it in the phone already? Why not contact Sony about your battery concerns? I'm not trying to be rude at all, but until battery technology proceeds further, we have to do what we can with what we have. The big Mugen battery (which I have and use) adds about 6 millimeters in thickness and an ounce or two in weight. My old Nokia 6620 was bigger than this bone stock!! The Mugen was bigger at first for sure but now I don't even notice at all. The massive increase in battery life was more than worth it. Until technology grows, you can't have a battery that's thin, small, light, has a huge capacity and is super cheap. Even with a slightly bigger battery, these phones are still smaller than what we were using just a little while ago.

Cheers for all your feedback, i guess these batteries on ebay are to good to be true. I just thought with technology moving on at such a rate and the 2300mah claims there making these might be a new improved type of slim battery and the purpose of this thread was to see what experiences people who have USED these batteries have had, good, bad or ugly. Its not really for people to guess how they perform and type stuff like you only get what u pay for blah blah... I can guess myself, i wanted some hands on info. I already own a big replacement battery which works great but turns my sleek xperia play into something from the 1990s! Not being rude just trying to get this back on track. Ill try one of these slim 2300mah batteries myself soon im just skint at the moment so i was doing some research first. Ive read a few threads before creating this and it does seem theres alot of people with opinions on these cheap batteries but i dont hear much from people who have actually used them.

And it seemed t owork very well for a few days but after that my phone was glitching out constantly. Games were slow and would stutter. I later found out that the battery's output was not consistent. Thus causing issues with the phones performance. I then found the site I bought my current battery from and even though its a beast the increase in battery is totally worth it. I had to give up my otterbox case for this battery and i have qualms with that. ITs too bad you cant get a battery with extra umph in it and keep the same size. IF you do find something liek that remember that the battery will be hotter then normal and the heat will decrease the life of the battery and the length of time it can hold a charge for.

Nice info. That was one of the batteries i was looking at too... Cheers for that

Does the thicker battery case help with gripping the phone while playing? I don't have any problems holding it, but having that extra grip can't hurt.

To be honest I was afraid of the thickbess of the phone with the new battery cover. But I have found that the thickness does not bother me and when I slide open the controlls to play a game the phone due to the added thickness is a lot more comfortable and I have been able to play for longer periods of time then I could have prior to getting this battery.

Well there is of coarse the posibility of using nuclear power fushion for the battery cells i estimate the eqashion of +2#2.0-#+100=0.11111.000 should be enough power to last one light year of battery use. Oh and no extended back cover will be needed.And i recommend that you do not use your phone to the ear for long periods the sars levels might be slightly high due to the power source.Oh sorry i forgot to mention you need to wear a radiation suit at all times when using the phone and last ov all you must have a 3 mile radius evacuation in place when making a phone call (So there will be no one around to make local calls to i guess). That's about it i think hope i never missed anything out and i hope i was of some help.

I got this

And i gotta say it lasts for ages, overclocked to 2ghz and it lasts longer then stock battery at stock clocks, and the back feels nice
glad i got this instead of mugen, lasts for 2 1/2 days everything on etc light gaming/browsing whereas battery would be about 3/4 day

Just picked up one of these as well. I'll post feedback once it gets here. Have you had any problems at all with yours?

Nope, and that in a way is the problem for me, i'm constantly expecting something bad to happen but it hasn't and the battery lasts for ages.

Just ordered the exact same one but from the german Ebay site.
Will arrive in 8-13 days.. Will give feedback

Could you try the Otterbox without the battery cover and tell me if it would fit the thicker battery? Perhaps with the rubbery skin cut under the black shell? I can't because I filed off the clips that attach elsewhere. I basically want to buy a second stock battery door and cut a rectangle in it and, if needed, the rubber for the extended battery to extend into the Otterbox Commuter. I wouldn't want to go without the battery door entirely because it wouldn't route the audio correctly and there is also a gap between the camera and flash which water and other contaminates can freely enter.

So I got the battery about 4 days ago and it's great so far! The added thickness is actually quite awesome. Anyone looking to get some great battery life for cheap should pick up one of these bad boys! If you're all about aesthetic and how your phone LOOKS, well that just shouldn't matter haha.

I've read mixed reviews on these bargain batteries. We'll see I guess.
There were three 3500s left when I posted this thread.. now there's 2. Who else bought one?
I plan on running stress tests from full charge. (screen on 100%, gps on, wifi, data, fm radio, and google music streaming)

The best battery I used was 2 evo4g 1900 mah batteries for 7$ on eBay. The battery lasted 2 days with decent use but unfortunately I could not get it to charge with the phone on any rom... even though the polarities looked the same as our batteries.. if only..

Yea the $4 one came in yesterday and after 36 hours I can tell it's not as good as the original oem. It's not horrible and will serve as a decent backup.. but certainly not a DD battery.. no way.
I'm more curious to give the 3500 a spin. Hopefully that arrives today.

Can't wait to hear about the 3.5Ah!
I have a 2.2, I think. Probably could last me three days if I didn't surf and play so much.
Edit -
I should mention that I usually end the day with about 50% left.
Today I'm already at 14% at 6pm because I watched two hour-long videos and did all the other surfing stuff as well.
Curious what you use to test your batteries with.
I run Battery Monitor Widget Pro and always wipe stats for a new battery. Great app for tracking battery performance.

Sorry, I haven't been able to test much. The performance was so crappy the few times I did use it that it hasn't left my shelf ever since. I know I said I was going to do standardized tests but I've been super busy the past few weeks.
As for the anecdote- I charged the 3500 up to 100% and went out for a night on the city at about 2pm. It was dead by 11pm and I was pissed. However, I'm not willing to pass judgement on it yet because I was running PAC at the time which absolutely devoured whatever battery I used.
Now that I'm back on stable CM7 it's a bit different. I'll charge her up tonight and do some comparisons this weekend.

In my experience a battery needs to be exercised a few times before it "matures".

You're probably right. I'll have some more definitive results on Monday.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2

I bought a cheapo battery for my G1 from my favorite cheapo Chinese stuff website - dealextreme.com.
I think I got an extended battery for my OG Droid there as well, long time ago. They were ok.
I absolutely love big batteries. And paying as little as possible for them.
-MROM on DInc2

So I don't have any definitive results. Overall the 3500 does last longer but not by much. I ran it from 100 to 1 twice over the past week and made sure it received standard use and no charges. I have attached 2 screenshots of the drain plus one with the top culprits for drain. Like many 3rd party batteries it tends to take a nosedive once reaching ~18%. You have maybe 10 minutes left when it hits that mark.
My workplace has horrible signal so cell standby is probably much higher for me than it would be for most. For comparison, my OEM lasts about 14-18 hours without a charge.
Bottom line:
3500 mAh linked above- You can't go wrong for $9. It performs like a ~2500mAh. the case is good quality too.
1500mAh linked above - might come to the range with me next time for target practice. That thing is worthless and is maybe good for 4 hours of standard use. Streaming a 1 hour playlist from Google music used approximately 40% of the battery.

Good to hear.
It's sad that we can't trust the ratings on the batteries, but I am glad it worked as well as it did and that the cover was acceptable, too.
I've read a lot of battery reviews on Amazon and even then it's a tough decision to make. Like you said, for the $9 it's ok.
I'll never buy a $50 battery, but if I did I would certainly expect it to perform to the advertised spec. Sadly, the reviews on those batteries are as mixed as the reviews for the cheapies.

Some interesting information
Bought similar battery a few months ago. On standart battery I has only 10-15% left at evening (music, instant messaging and serfing drains battery wery well), with this enhanced battery my phone lasts 2-3 days. I attached the photo to compare it with default battery.
The main disadvantage of it, suddenly, was the incredibly low signal level (only 1 bar on WCDMA in wooden house, 2-3 bars on GSM), problem was in antenna that is located at the down of back cover. As you can see, two contacts was joined. Just split them, and signal should improve. It helped me, but not too noticeably. So, I have to put copper wire on the back cover and even to prolong it beyond. It looks very ugly, but now signal level is even better than on stock battery (always full signal level on the street even in 3G mode). Low signal level results in higher battery drain and heat.
I don't know why HTC decided to save money on antennas in our phone. Because stock battery cover GSM-antenna is worse than any Nokia (it's much smaller, but in antennas, size matter, a lot). Wi-Fi antenna is bad too.
Also, battery indicator in our phone is not works as it should, I think. 0% is actually not zero level. Real Lithium-Ion battery zero level is 3.2-3.3V (sometimes even smaller, but it's not recommended to to discharge it beyond this level, it may damage battery), but HTC controller tells 0% at 3.5-3.6V and Android forcibly powers off the phone. When I used De-Sensed V firmware, where Android power off function on zero battery level not worked (may be, it was disabled in services.jar, there is the way to do this thing), I could run up to one hour in ICQ on 0% and even some hours in idle mode, before the battery controller blocked battery discharge to protect it (voltage was around 3.2V). It's disappointing that I can't make an urgently call while I actually have the power level enough to do this.

Thank you! Very nice to read your solution for the antenna!

AckerMAN_ can you give more details about your antenna fix?
I see in the photo that the cover has two plastic fingers that are painted with copper colored paint.
My cover has metal fingers attached to it for the connection. They are like springs.
Can you attach a photo of your antenna wire, please?
This phone is famous for poor signal and many others would be interested in a way to improve reception.

There is a photo of back cover with attached wire. Also, I attached the screenshot of current reception level. I hope it will be useful.
Also, I'm thing about patching services.jar, I'll try it when have enough time.

[Q] Onite or Hyperion extended battery?

Hey guys just a quick simple question, which of these two brands is more reputable and offers higher quality batteries?
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-GT-i...843965&sr=8-2&keywords=i9250+extended+battery
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-Extende...843965&sr=8-1&keywords=i9250+extended+battery
Both have good ratings on amazon but I was wondering about guys who actually have these batteries. Is the larger hyperion better than the NFC equipped Onite? FYI I never really use NFC so it is not a factor here. I just want to get the better quality, longer lasting battery.

I don't have the Hyperion battery, I instead have once from QCell and the Onite (3500) you linked. I got them since October/Septmeber 2013 and both of them blow the stock (1700) battery away. But my QCell battery seems to last a little bit longer (and I think its a slightly larger capacity battery) but the battery seems to discharge at a weird rate. It rapidly discharges and then it gains back a couple of %. As a result, the battery graph looks very spiky jittery mess. But it still works fine but it may randomly shut down at the 5-10% mark.
Right now, I use the Onite as a daily driver for those reason alone as it doesn't derp like the Qcell does. It definitely falls under the category of not bad. But be warned batteries of this size will make your phone huge, bulky and heavy haha. Picking up a Nexus 5 will make you think its a feather light after using huge batteries on the GNex.
Wifi use at home easily gets me 5-6 hour screen on time with a little more than 2d uptime. The days where I go out the entire day, it would last about 4 hours +/- screen on time (I run at way higher brightness when I'm not at home), BT on when in the car streaming audio for 1 hour, average signal and about 15+ hours uptime because I replug in when I sleep with usually 10-30% to spare. In short, I never run out of battery less than a day of usage. Almost double the battery life of stock battery. With Trinity kernel, you easily gain an extra half an hour of SOT on this battery.
GTA SA though kills the Onite battery flat in 2h 30m of continuos gaming with thermal throttle disabled (Trinity kernel) at 20%+ brightness

Hey guys just a quick simple question, which of these two brands is more reputable and offers higher quality batteries?
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-GT-i...843965&sr=8-2&keywords=i9250+extended+battery
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-Extende...843965&sr=8-1&keywords=i9250+extended+battery
Both have good ratings on amazon but I was wondering about guys who actually have these batteries. Is the larger hyperion better than the NFC equipped Onite? FYI I never really use NFC so it is not a factor here. I just want to get the better quality, longer lasting battery.

I would go for the Onite, for sure. Even if I don't really like to use not original battery. I think it's unsafe for the smartphone itself.

I don't have the Hyperion battery, I instead have once from QCell and the Onite (3500) you linked. I got them since October/Septmeber 2013 and both of them blow the stock (1700) battery away. But my QCell battery seems to last a little bit longer (and I think its a slightly larger capacity battery) but the battery seems to discharge at a weird rate. It rapidly discharges and then it gains back a couple of %. As a result, the battery graph looks very spiky jittery mess. But it still works fine but it may randomly shut down at the 5-10% mark.

Thanks for that really in depth response, I appreciate it. I will definitely buy the Onite battery. Thank you again.

I bought the Hyperion 2 days ago and here are some screen shots of my usage yesterday, I think I could do better with some modifications...
