Extended Battery - Pretty Good Deal

I just ordered this off Amazon.
Seems like a good deal, and hopefully will cure the terrible battery issues I've been having.

1750mah is hardly an extention for an Evo

I thought about that too, but with the problems I'm having, and all the different configs I've tried, my battery gets worse and worse, so I think it may be shot. Even if this is as good as a stock battery, it's cheaper than buying one from Sprint and could potentially be better than a stock.

i just returned the seidio 1750 mah battery, didn't make my battery last that much longer, at most i got an extra 3 hours. Also considering the 3500mah seidio was only a few bucks more, i decided to get that instead.

I don't know how many of you guys are from the MD area but there's a store in the local mall in Anne Arundel and they have or can get about any size/manufacturer battery. Its Cyberion I think, anyway good service reasonable prices and if I have issues I have an actual retailer to deal with. Ive been burned on line too many times I like having a person to deal with when issues or if issues come up.

Higher MaH generally means longer battery life. Though that is not always the case with cheaper knock off batteries...

Nice find. Got my Platinum 3500mAh for $21 shipped
Found it at amazon for $49. There is one review.
http://www.amazon.com/EXTENDED-HTC-Supersonic-T-Mobile-35H00124-12M/dp/B004OTNHTO

I don't want to be a pooper, but the battery in that Image looks like the stock evo battery which is 1500mah.
I also don't think sprint sells an OEM 3500 mah battery, they do have an extended 2200mah, and even that is larger and comes with a door. Also I've NEVER seen a 3500mah that small.

The Sprint OEM batteries are black with a white label, not red. So it definitely is not a sprint/htc oem battery. They also don't have any 3500 mah batteries for any phone that I could find.
Checked HTC, and they also only sell the 1500mah battery. They don't have any others at all.
Not going to say your not getting an actual 3500 mah battery, but I will say for certain that your not getting an OEM sprint or HTC battery.

Yeah i dont think this is real either, Sprint already has a extended battery and htc does not sell any extended batteries , if they did it would show up in HTC's online store.

I did a google search for the model number in the Amazon listing (BTE6300, BTE6300B, 35H00124-12M). That battery is only rated for 2150 mAh.

When I get this battery, is there a way I can charge and take a multimeter or something to test it?
Sent from my EVO (iPhone Slayer) via XDA App

The stock battery that came with my original Evo was red. HTC makes red batteries. Not to say that this battery is legit, though...

It's not OEM, there is no OEM 3500 mah battery. Here it is from a different seller, same battery. Most of these "3500" mah batteris are the same battery just with different wrappings.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Acesoft-350...ccessories&hash=item336560a609#ht_2595wt_1141

This should probably be reported, since they are trying to sell it as Sprint OEM, and it doesn't seem likely that it is. Or at least tell the seller to remove those words from the listing.

It's fake, htc doesn't make a 3500.

you would have to charge it full and for lack of better eletronics experience. You would need to use a resistor that would pull the mAh of the battery.
take for instance the 3500 mAh battery that battery can give out 3500 mA over an hour

Not to mention that the Sprint extended battery is not red....... Its black with a silver sticker.

i got mine today, its a daily pc battery and cover. Everything fits great. Ill get it charged up and let you know how it preforms. I like the cover better than some others Ive seen much cleaner look and a good feel. I think its a good price $25 shipped.

i got mine last week as well,. currently off charger, heavy to mod use, (fb, ebuddy, some birds, BT and wifi).. 4hr50m off charger @ 69% left..
def worth the 25.

Only official Sprint extended battery is the 2600mAh.
I also have a Seidio Innocell 3500mAh which is awesome. If you want official go with the Sprint 2600mAh otherwise, I'd go with the Seidio 3500mAh any day of the week.

70$ for the Seidio 3500mAh battery wow, I think I'll hold off a bit longer. LOLz

Also got a galaxy nexus battery rated at 2050mAh

Can you comment on the 2050 MAh battery? Does it fit with the stock back cover? Doesn't really seem legit as the OEM extended requires a different back cover.
Might be worth the risk checking it out for $15...

You can use original cover with the 2050mAh battery from what i tried here

NFC is unavailable for all third party batteries as far as I'm aware

Unless the third-party in question chooses to equip their batteries with a suitable aerial.
As this is the first thread I'm aware of featuring this particular brand of battery, it's worth asking.

can u tell us if the 2050mah worths the stock battery or if its better?

Nice Find! Ordered, seems like our phone might finally function as a replacement for a handheld GPS (Garmin, Magellan etc...)

I would love to hear your thoughts on the 2050mAh battery. It seems like a lot of these aftermarket batteries don't do any better than the stock battery even with the higher charge capacity.

I am getting the 2050mAH batteries on Monday and will test it out.

Any updates?

bump for updates pls

it's running quite well. I'm getting around 20% power left on a full day of internet / chatting / a family guy and simpsons video / 30 mins tethering. This thing is a beast compare to the original battery!

such things are REALLY ugly. But I understand why we need it.
So the question is, why there can't be something as slim as Razr MAXX's 3300mah battery? ...
In the past I thought it is technological impossible to produce the slim extended battery like Maxx's, until I see how Razr Maxx works.
It is thicker than Original Razr, but it is so much better in design with giant battery.

Think it has something to do with the fact that it isn't removable, but I may be wrong.
Do they make these for the LTE variant? Seidio has a 3850 battery but it costs almost $70 and this is only $20!

The 2050mah i am getting around 1 and half hour more than usual compare to stock.

If there is a good reliable aftermarket battery out there I'm open to check it out....

should be not bad given at this price range.

My friend got one of these. Its the same as the 12 dollar GTMax's, no diff from stock really.
Mugen batteries are probably worth the investment if you use your phone that heavily.

that's odd, cuz i got the qcell galaxy nexus one and also a gtmax version. the qcell one last longer than the gtmax one. perhaps it's luck of the draw. I'm going to give this one a try and see how it is

What is your conclusion after using that battery for a month? Is it better that stock one or worse?

I tried this battery out for about 3 weeks and did get noticbly longer battery life about 23 hours+ with heavy to moderate usage so IMO it was worth it ($10) altough i hated the extended battery cover the battery did keep my phone on relatively longer. only issue after about a month I cant charge the battery with my cable anymore, not sure if its the cable or not so im back to stock.
Extended battery 23-25 hours of heavy usage
Stock battery 12-15 hours of heavy usage

Extended battery recommendation?

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with an extended battery for our phone.

i get up for work at 3am and my s3 is unplugged from that point till about 3pm when it needs to be plugged in (15% or less). 12 hours is fine with me because in that time i've had LTE on, google now and all gps on, multiple email accounts and apps syncing every hour and texting also. if you're doing about the same, then you might have to do a bunch of compromising to get better battery time. i'm not willing to do that.

So I am guessing that there is no extended battery then?

There are extended batteries but just look around. To my knowledge there are not currently any stock extended batteries available (hopefully soon) but there are plenty of others. Just do some research first. If you do not mind giving up the slimness of the phone (which you are probably not worried about for any decent extended battery) you could get a case such as mophie jucie or powerskin which have built in batteries (and I think they are NFC friendly). While it is not an extended battery you can turn them on to recharge the battery and effectively getting you throughout your day.

Theres a slim 2300MaH Battery, called ZeroLemon relatively cheap 20$ for two of em and a spare charger. Then theres the stock samsung 3000MaH which includes a different battery plate since its bigger. To get better battery life, try a few full charges/cycles with certain kernel settings and rom. Then theres also huge 4000MaH + batteries which i refuse to get because well, it takes away the user experience. If you really must have gps/autp sync and those background task, I'm really going to suggest you go back to apple. They do one heck of a job for that. Battery life is a lot better on iOS with those background task's for some reason.

Zerolemon has a 7000mah battery around 30$

I don't have any experience with the battery myself so i would read the customer reviews.

I have and have used Seidio's ext. batt's on my last two Galaxy phones. Somehow, they made the battery for the S3 thinner than was on the S2. Also Seidio's back plates have their "soft touch" coating which gives you grip or non-slip properties.

I picked up the Anker 4400 mAh battery a few months ago for about $25 and it's been great. I can get almost 2 days out of it depending on my usage and if I'm on wifi or HSPA+. Around 7 hours of screen on time as well.

Regular use day for me

@shakewell, what's the total screen time on during this discharge? i'm curious as i'm using my stock 2100 mAh battery and get this same battery life with 5+ hours of screen on time.
kernel/kernel tweaks make all the difference

Just buy the lemon...
From what I can gather, the ZeroLemon batteries are the way to go. I've heard nothing but great things about them and if you can get past the added form factor, the 7000mAh battery is able to last more than an entire day, if you manage things properly. They sell out fast on Amazon, but they are cheaper than most any other battery for the S3. And on top of all that, you'll be supporting an American business!
You can find them on Amazon.
