If your sacred about the hinge, you can buy new springs for this hinge which will make it sturdy for about 5$. Battery life is pretty good for me. I get about a day and have about 25-30% left. But that is because i underclock the processor alot when my phone is asleet. Also you can download juice defender to get better battery life.

Battery life is fine. if you find yourself charging your phone more often then get a higher capacity battery.
The hinge will not break after a year. The complaint is not the durability of the hinge but the strength in which it holds the phone open. There is a fix on the general forums here that teaches you how to change the springs

Momax 2700mah battery

Here are the results after several days of use, it seems to be very good..
It also includes 1.2h of gps use with screen off (endomondo)...
I'm consistantly getting at least 10-12 hours of heavy use with around 5 hours screen time with these babies, so yeah they're all good.
Shame the spider-foot back cases are better built. The Momax supplied ones feel really flimsy.
Also, Tids2k has had overheating problems with the Momax, maybe it's a bad batch as I've had nothing of the sort. Just someting to be aware of.
Would it be too much to ask for some pix of the actual case? Particularly I'm interested on this battery because of the stand included with the case, what has been the experience with the stand.
I'm currently using the Spiderfoot and the performance has been good so far.
Thanks guys
I'll try to make some pictures of the cover, but it is really HORRIBLE, I had the momax battery for the galaxy S, and the cover was fine (althought very bad quality).
This one seems better quality but very bad designed... too bulky!
Thanks I would really appreciate it, is it really that bad? Is the stand not worth it?
It can't be as ugly as the spider foot haha, even though I'm using it I have to say the phone kind of losses its appeal, however, the extra juice is worth it.

Just gotten it from HK.
Not really asthetically nice but functionally, this battery definitely extended by usage by another 40%!
This is more for power users who values usage more than looks
OMG, You made your slim&sexy phone pregnant .
You just couldn't resist it could you?
...that's uuuuugly!
Ya man,
It's Fugly, but at least I won't have to hunt for charger by afternoon
Awesome battery life ..... But it is so ugly >.<"

Mugen Extended Battery review

Available here: http://www.androidnz.net/2012/02/review-mugen-extended-battery-for.html
Unfortunately the screens I had showing battery usage are MIA (think I deleted them making space for the ICS installation!), but I will update it in a couple of days once I manage to drain the battery again!
Anyone want a video review to accompany it?

Which is the size and weight?
I mention in the review - size is approximately double the thickness (perhaps very slightly more), I haven't actually weighed it, but noticeably heavier with it. Will update the review with more details when I have the battery usage screenshots for it.
Very nice review, almost pushed me to buying one to be honest.
Maybe once I build up some more money I will consider picking one up.

you reckon lets say gaming asphalt 6 HD 100% brightness? 6 hours with this battery? is the back cover good? i mean wont just fall of easy!? whats the phone temperature with this battery when playing heavy games? really want to buy one.i just need more info.
THX IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR REVIEW MATE!
sry about all these Questions!
regards.
I've just received my Mugen battery. Currently on my first charge. The back cover is of a very high quality, even more so that the stock cover and for those wondering, the SZLF metal bumper will still fit even with the extended battery and cover.

Samsung's original 2000mah battery is the best. It will make the phone about 2mm Thicker. Battery thickness increases with the capacity. If you dont want your phone to be thicker then you cant have an extended battery. And the original battery is available on ebay

I'm using this one. OK... it doesn't look so perfectly slim, but it is perfect as replacement on a long flight, or if you don't care if your phone looks a bit heavier.
I can't post the URL here, but search for 320919843605 on ebay

I have the genuine Samsung 2000 and find it very very good after a couple of cycles my battery life has easily doubled and I'm a heavy user. 12 hour working day Wifi/ data on all day bluetooth connection to car 2 hours a day many many calls, sms and emails every day. At the end of 'this' 12 hour shift my battery at around 50%.
I used my 'standard' case with the original back cover cut down to just below the camera to accommodate the extra thickness of the battery, so in my normal case the overall thickness is the same as if using standard battery.
Yes Samsungs 2000 battery is the best for me. Only 2mm more and a huge jump on batteryielife.

Could u please send me the link to the product that you have bought... ? i want to buy the same i dun mind covers it should jus give me more battery life c: aaannnd tell me does it wear out overtime..? thanks
Genuine 2000mah is the best way to go, got mine for 21€ shiping included on amazon.
Anker brand quite good
Send from xda
Original 2000mah is the best choice. It will give you about 25% plus of what you are getting. The added thickness makes the phone nicer to hold and protects the camera lens.
Sent from my GT-I9100
is it still possible to squeeze a gel case protector over the top, or does that extra 1mm or so prevent it?
The official Samsung 2000mah battery seems a bit pricey where I am. Is the any alternatives that you guys can recommend?

I personally haven't tried that one but i have the 4400 mah anker and it adds quite a bit of bulk. Probably the same bulk as an otterbox. But trust me it feels a lot better in hand. And have about 5-6+ hours of screen time is so worth it. I know people that also use the battery as a back up.

I actually just bought one of these last week after looking for a 3000mah battery that wouldn't break the bank. I pm'ed someone that had a battery list, price and review thread going to see if they knew anything about it but got no response (Guess newbies are nobodys) or maybe I missed the pm policy.
Anyways I'm pretty happy with it I guess. It will get me through an 8hr work day faily easy but the S3 just seems to burn through battery at an incredible rate no matter the size of the battery. I haven't really put it through any sort of test so other than that I can't really say much. It will add significant thickness to the phone. If I compare the S3 next to my Razr Maxx I'd say it's about a millimeter or two thicker.
batteries with diff capacities...

I seen ontrion batteries with various capacities...2600mah, 3000mah and more! as per my knowledge batteries quality is measured by internal cells. capacities are variable factor and can be made as per customer requirement.seems ontrion is master of bateries with sku of so many batteries...

Thinking of buying Zero Lemon Battery- How thick is it?

How much thicker does it make the phone? I have a Hyperion 4200mAh battery and that makes my phone pretty thick, and I'd imagine the 7000mAh battery is even thicker...? If someone has had both and could compare that'd be great.

There's a huge review thread on the Zero Lemon in the Accessories forum, you might wanna check it out
It's no thicker than the Hyperion battery. All my friends and I have switched to the zero lemon with no regrets. Guaranteed two days usage even with a heavy user.

ZeroLemon does not make this guarantee. If you are making this guarantee,how do I file a claim with you, because my ZeroLemon does not last two days with heavy usage.
There are some days I barely make it a day. I'm not dogging the battery because it's amazing, but I don't think I would get 48 hours unless it was light use.
its a hair larger than if you had an otter box on it. I've had it for about 3 weeks and I charge the phone once every 4 days with medium usage. its awesome

Dude have you done a calibration yet? Do you follow the steps for proper discharging and recharging? Including myself there are more than a few people on this website that can get two days easily with heavy use. with light to no use at all 4 days is no special trick. That's average. I'm not trying to be an ahole so forgive me if it comes off that way. But it seems to me that you need to check your basic settings and look into recalibrating. Most people can get 10 to 18 hours out of the stock battery with extremely light use so there is no reason you should be burning up 9300mah in one day unless all you do is play need for speed or heavy games like that and even if you do, you should still get at least two days easily with no complaint. Worst case you may have a defective battery. Just send it back and you will get a new one in about a week. Those guys are awesome with replacements. Good luck to you friend.
