i was wondering what everybody's best extended battery is i have considered buying one just don't know which one yet what is the best one for the most reasonable price and what differentced do you notice cause i do wifi tethering all day and i get about 4 hours on a full charge on usage and that just is not enough. what about the sprint battery extender.
I absolutely love the Seido 3500mAh battery. When properly charged, I can go well over 24 hours of use and I'm a moderate to heavy user.
Where did you buy out howe much link ??

I got my 3500mah on Amazon. Works great. Paid 23 bucks. Might be the same price. Don't really know right now. But have been using it for a long while now.

I got 2 extended batteries with 2 backs and 1 battery charger on ebay for $19.00 and they work GREAT! I can go 24+ hours on a charge.
Using the Siedo 3500 extended as well and it is very nice. However, price wise it is on the top end (I got it free as a gift) and the back cover is flimsy compared to some others. It would never fit as good as the original back since getting it. Might of been just mine.
My co-worker got this one and loves it: http://www.amazon.com/4G-3500mAh-Extended-Battery-Cover/dp/B0042TY68C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1312381770&sr=8-2
He has had it for probably 4-5 months with zero issues. Free shipping, good reviews, and seems to be popular cause is out of stock for a few more days.
Only advantage to the Siedo is if you want to get a Siedo case, such as the Convert, than you have to use the Siedo extended otherwise it won't fit. Just something to consider.
Can get day & 1/2 out of my phone with heavy use no problem.
I bought the OEM 2600 mAh battery from Sprint, and I can go two days on a single charge. That's with pretty moderate data use as well, since I'm texting a lot and answering emails all day for work. Just make sure you fully charge the battery before you use it to ensure optimal performance.
Yes Marty, I built a time machine out of a DeLorean.
I use ordered the Trident Electra case for my phone, kinda like the otterbox cases, but the electra series comes with a 2800mAH battery. Works great with correct conditioning. I am a moderate/heavy user with games and social media. Oh and I got my Trident case from Amazon, its like 12 bucks cheaper than the actual Trident website.

I also received mine today but sadly am returning it. I have 4 of the cheap HK batteries off ebay that I switch out during the day and was thinking I would just get one of these instead. After getting it, putting it on and seeing the bulk it added and how incredibly hard it was to get the Siedio backplate off again, I am thinking that I am going to just stick with the cheapo HK batteries. I use my phone heavily during the day and one of these batteries usually lasts me until I get home around 5pm. I switch out a fresh one at 5pm and I use it off and on until I go to bed, usually between 9pm-11pm which I leave it in overnight off the charger. In the morning, I switch out a fresh one and off to work and the cycle repeats itself. If I end up getting on a long tech support call with Cisco or another vendor, I always have a freshly charged battery in my pocket as well. Well, since I am done with this wall of text about my battery situation that pretty much has nothing to do with this topic, I will end it now.
Thanks for listening.
Even $50 is a complete ripoff. I have 6 spare batteries, all from ebay that cost less than $50 combined. I don't care that they might not have the advertised capacity, but neither does the seidio (according to battery boss) and guaranteed my two cheap 1800mah batteries will easily outlast the 3500mah seidio one for a fraction of the price. So what if I might have to swap one out at some point during the day? On top of it, they don't need to use that HIDEOUS cover that is required for the Seidio.
Ok, i believe that i read some time back that you could use a touch pro 2 battery in the evo. correct me if im wrong, but if the stock battery that we use is as true to 1500mah, wouldnt the HTC manufactured 2150 mah be one of the best extended batteries to buy? I have found a couple for sale, and wanted to be sure that the touch pro 2 battery does in fact work in our evo. thanks and sorry for yet another battery post.

Here is the amazon link to the batteries. I know they wont fit under our stock door but for 10 slices of paper from my wallet plus the addition of having to buy another stock evo battery cover to modify to fit this battery, I feel like this isn't a bad deal considering the price. I should get the battery sometime around Friday or Monday of next week. Will post pics of said modification and results as soon as possible.
there are "3500" mAh batteries available for under $10 too. I believe they are closer to 2800. I've found the yoobao 3000mah batteries to be the best, got mine for 20 shipped.
and yes, the tp2 will work in an evo. you aren't going to be able to mod the stock cover to fit that. just buy an extended cover, you can get them with the battery for about 8.

Well I'm gonna hack up my old battery Cover so the battery will stick through. I have one of those crystal gel cases that will hold the battery in place, I just want the cover there to act as a speaker cover. The extended covers make the phone too large. I think this will keep the phone slim it will only be slightly thicker than it is now. I have come up with a couple of designs as well that allow me to use the stock battery door and hold the battery in place without my case. Like I stated in my earlier post, I'll post up the concept and see what ppl think. I just wish they made a battery cover that went around the battery and not make the entire back bubble out.
Check out the Mugen 4500 mah battery if you will be hacking up your back cover... I think there is a thread that has info for it.. Search
Gimme a week and ill post what im doing. Lol i still wanna keep the phone slim for the most part, so no 3500 or 4500 mah batteries

I'm loving my Yoobao 3000mah battery. With medium use, overclocking and custom kernel, I get about 36 hours out of my phone. Well 28-29 not counting sleep time.
verdict 2150mha touch pro 2 battery DOES NOT WORK!!!! Repeat DOES NOT WORK! So i bought a sedio 3500 battery and fell in love with that instead!
I purchased the "Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery" from Seidio online.
I was getting just enough from the stock battery to get me through until I went to bed and put my inc2 on the charger.
Now I can go a day and a half before I need to charge!
All this and it fits with the stock cover. Definitely worth the 45 dollars!
Just me 2c

Give it a couple of full charges... before you start getting the full advantage of batt.
I hated the ones I got for my Inc1. Lasted just as long as stock battery and that wasn't worth $45. I traded it out twice thinking it was maybe a bad battery. Same problem even after waiting a couple days of use. Sold it to my friend and he hates it. Best battery I bought was the 1600mah oem TP2 HTC battery from ebay for $5. Lasted two days on that thing plus it was OEM. I'll consider Seidio again but I wasn't happy the first time around.

Agreed. Typically third party batteries (including Seidio) have exaggerated mah ratings. The batteries that are marketed as being extended batteries might have a little more juice, but not nearly as much as the rating indicates. They often tend to wear out much quicker.
Glad this one seems to be working for the OP though. Perhaps this one is different than most of the rest.

I bought 1800mah Mugen Power instead, heard good things about their battery, it's slim so I don't have to use different back cover. still waiting for mine.
Love my Mugen slim extended, definitely significant more life out of it over stock
I have the Mugen also; I tried the Seidio 1750 w/my DInc1 and while it was an improvement over the stock battery it did not perform well over time. I've had the Mugen for ~3 weeks now and am quite happy with it...I hope I can say the same thing in a few more months.
Do you think those cheapies on eBay are worth it? Could they damage my phone? 3500 with extended cover for $11...

I've gone through a lot of batteries for my Inc1 and best results come from the OEM batteries.
Ordered a lot off eBay and only seller bidallies sold legit OEM. The generic work but lose capacity over a few weeks and are off on the ratings, Seidio is good but barely better than stock and not worth the $$$ on the original Inc. I'll be trying a Mugen next.
So I recommend saving the money you'd waste on the junk batteries and buy a good one that'll last.

True that. I purchased several junk batteries before getting the Seidio 3500 mah battery. So much better than the other "high capacity" batteries.

Yeah I'd like to keep stock back cover. Like I mentioned with the Inc1, the HTC Touch Pro 2 battery fits fine and it was a 1600mah while the stock Inc1 battery was (in HTCs infinite wisdom) a 1300mah. Fit snug but still fit under stock battery cover and gave extra few hours of life.
Save the money and just order a couple original stock ones on eBay for $10 a pop.
Don't need to go into details about how your paying for a placebo affect. I made the mistake. Never again.

So what is the best one for a stack cover? I would like to use the stock cover because of my otter box. I am assuming with the extended cover my otter box will not fit.?.
Got a Seidio convert extended rugged case and the 3500mah extended battery a few days ago.
The case is huge but seems pretty darn durable. It fits well in the holster on my 2" duty belt.
The extended battery is definitely lasting much longer than the original. Getting well over a full day of heavy use on a charge.
If you are on the fence about the case and extended battery combo, I'd say it's definitely worth the $90.

Will the phone fit comfortably in your pocket with the extra thickness? I am thinking about getting one as my original battery isn't lasting long at all.
Just ordered. Anyone know anything about it?
Its a good buy if anyone needs the extra battery life. It doesn't add that much bulk and has a case that can be purchased with it.
can u report back about how well it does, i was contemplating gettng this as well
With heavy usage (Emails, Calls, SMS, Being productive with the device, etc...) I get 16 hours on a full charge. With light to moderate usage (Sleep, Down time) I get 20 + hours. I'm on stock everything. With my old stock battery I was getting 6 to 10 hours on a full charge (light to heavy usage). It's a good feeling not worrying about the battery dying and having to charge it when I'm out and about anymore. And even with the case, it fits comfortable in the pocket.
any pictures of the phone with the battery
I was also thinking about buying this battery
I have another extended battery from Amazon they sell for 13
I know they also sell QCell brand for 20
Can anyone compare any extended batteries for gs2?
Did you get a case for Laza? How it feels? Same plastic as back cover or rubber feel?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I will post pictures soon. The case is the same material as the back cover. Only negative thing is that it slips around on surfaces. I am currently thinking of ways to mod with my old TPU case.
Thanks for reply.
I guess I won't be buying that case.
I was hoping that it's made from rubber / silicone material like tpu cases. Have no idea why no company wants to make extended battery cases when so many people use big batteries.
I for myself bought a cheap $3 case on eBay, cut out the back and use it that way, sort of bumper style custom made.

I had purchased a previous extended battery that was ok but not what I was expecting as far a battery life, with the stock original battery I would get about 4 hrs before reaching 20%, with old extended battery I would reach 20% at about 5 to 6 hours, I was hoping for at least 8 hours of use! The use I put the battery thru is reading 20 to 30 emails per day, Internet Web browsing aprx. 1 hr. and music for the remainder of time, so my usage is not that heavy, my HTC HD2:laugh: with extended battery easily made it all day and part of next day!:good: and my usage on HTC HD2 was very heavy compared to my Galaxy S2! I would estimate almost 4 times as much! so hopefully this battery will do better! Is there a list of extended batteries with life times noted anywhere?, I did a quick search but just get little tid bits.
Which extended battery you talking about? Which brand?
I see like 5 being sold on Amazon.

Guys, this battery is the best.
I'm a really heavy user and have all things on full time sync, including Gmail. And this battery lasts the longest. Not sure if it's really 3800 or whether it's has nfc built-in like advertised.
But I've used 3500 battery that's sold on Amazon for $13, and this one so far feels stronger.
Will see how it will work, o ly time could tell, but do far I'm very happy with this purchase.
BTW, the case they sell is really nice too. Maybe it's made from plastic, but feels soft to touch, kind of like silicone. And since no one makes any cases for extended battery, I'm glad I've bought their case as well !

Yeah this battery is really good I am getting good use out of it. I am a very heavy user and I get almost the whole day out of it. I havent tested out the NFC but I am sure it works. Also I like thew case it is great, I also used to use the seido case for the stock battery and it came with a face clip and the phone now fits the face clip with the extended battery and case on. That really makes me happy.
I just received my battery the other day and I am a VERY HEAVY use and at the end of a 12 hour day I am around 50% which is awesome! Also the NFC and to have greater range then the stock Samsung batteries both the nexus extended and the stock one that came with our phones just an fyi update

It's a great battery, and it ships from California so you don't have to wait 3 weeks like you do for the cheap ones that ship from China. However, I should say that I purchased one of the cheap ones ($7.50, including the replacement humpback cover, which is identical to the Laza one) from China on eBay and, other than taking forever and a day to arrive, it's as good as the Laza if not better.
The case lasted 2 weeks and then the top corner snapped off when I took it out of my pocket. Wish I could find a simple gel case that will fit.

Ordered this battery on Amazon and got it over the weekend.
The battery life is GREAT, however it does NOT support NFC.
NFC works perfectly on my phone with the stock battery, with this battery it does not work at all.
If you want great battery life and don't care about NFC then it's a great battery, if you want NFC you'll have to find another battery.
Good battery for prize ijust got it and love
