What are the best value for performance spare batteries I can get, that don't require an extended battery door? Any particular eBay or Amazon sellers?

Well ATM I got MugenPower stock size 1650mAh battery which fits Thunderbolt and MT4G. Look up my old posts under this account and you can find review as I posted the stats last week regarding the batstats.

Good to know, thanks! It's a pricey battery though. For much less than that cost I could buy two extra stock batteries on Amazon.

True but I wouldn't trust those worthless no name brand nor use it if you give it to me free. In that case if you do go in that path then go 3-4 threads down below yours and you will find a thread about 1700mAh battery. So read that before you buy it.

Notice I said *stock* batteries. Some North American sellers are actually listing cheap OEM batteries from HTC. Presumably if those turn out to be lousy fakes, the buyer protection applies?

That's the thing I don't do ebay or amazon. If its OEM ill pay HTC and get it from them or reputable authorized dealer. Most of the BS is Chinese fakes with branded name claiming it to be something its not.
Unless you actually have software and hardware like me to test it you wouldt know it as I tested my battery and more than happy with the result. But if you want to carry 2-3batteries then hey its your call.
As I said on that thread they offering 2x1700mAh batteries for like $35. So you may want to look in to it.

These are examples of ones advertised to be OEM at about $10 apiece:

Carrying around a spare battery is what I was always doing with my Nexus One. I have a universal external charger already.

I got a seidio 1600mAh on ebay for 15.99 + 4.99 shipping.
Its original and actually holds a good charge!

How about the Anker 1700 mAh batteries? Looks like there are eBay merchants willing to ship those to Canada. US$8.99 + $5 shipping for one battery. US$17.99 + $5 shipping for two plus a charger.
The movable-pin charger looks identical to the PowerGen one I already have, save for different branding. I suppose if I end up with two, I could just sell one off

The OEM Battery is only 1400mAh most of the spare batterys are cheap chinese fakes.
Try comparing ebay & amazon. Use this ebay link.
Hope you get the right one.

The link you sent is indeed for an OEM battery, but I believe it's used / refurbished.
I ended up ordering two Anker batteries. They're reported to be decent quality, even if they don't quite match the 1700 mAh claim.

Both the OEM & the so called 1700 mAh (or even 1800 mAh) batterys give almost the same talk time.
So I suggest not to go for the hypes like 1700mAh or 1800mAh.
Just try to get the OEM 1400mAh......

Well too late now. Paid for 2xAnker batteries plus the universal charger
Bonus, the charger is identical to the one I already own, so I might be able to sell that off for a few bucks.
I haven't seen on XDA any specific reviews for the Anker MT4G battery, but for other phones they seem to be getting decent reviews.

I decided to leave one of the Anker batteries in the box for now and try the other out, just so that if one of them degrades I'll still have another in newer shape.
So far I can't really report it being any better or worse than stock but I haven't had enough time to test. I'm purposefully trying to unplug it in the morning and avoid charging all day until absolutely necessary. Today is a light use day and it's down to 56% after 10.5 hours. Compared to what I got on my Nexus One that's stellar but I'll have to see what it's like on a heavier day.

He probably ordered it on amazon. I bought mine there. It came with 2 batteries and an external charger for $25 shipped. The battery life of these batteries last like the 1400mah OEM battey. Their pretty decent batteries, but your better of buying the $9 OEM battery and buying an external charger for $5.
Heres the link to the Anker's Battery
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1700mAh...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1317176107&sr=1-1

I went with the Laptopmate eBay store. $22.99 shipped to Canada for 2 batteries + universal charger.
Shipping costs were a consideration. Amazon doesn't ship electronics to Canada and ordering from multiple stores means multiple shipping fees. The external charger is great because it works on all sorts of batteries - the only thing is I already own one of the same make (branded PowerGen rather than Anker). I figured I'd hold onto the charger and gift it to someone.

Thats a better price than amazon. How many hours are you averaging with your batteries? I can barely get 14 hours with moderate use with Unity.

I haven't pushed it to the limit yet. Currently sitting at 12.5 hours and 41%. But out of that I've only had the display on for under 2 hours.
This is on CM7 RC1.

Hi guys,
I im using the 1700 Anker right now, and it is going good so far. This battery makes it thru the day, and im talking about 14-16 hours or more with still 30-40% remaining.
Im using the MIUI ROM, and i had to flashed another radio and calibrate del battery after that. I am quite happy with it, maybe is not as good as the iphones battery but it makes it, and you dont need an extended cover.
oh! and it is just 10 $ with taxes, shipping, etc ( US). Fully recomended

Sprint HTC Evo Extended Battery (2600 mah)

Sorry if this already has been posted, I did not see it posted anywhere on here.
I just went to return my car dock at Sprint and they said they had just received shipments of Sprints' own extended battery + covers for sale. It was $54 after taxes. Comes with 2 covers, one white which is painted so it's smooth, the other a black that has the rubbery finish on the back.
Not bad for the price, I mean sure it can't beat the Ebay ones (which I ordered the 2 3000)
I am going to guess this is basically a Seidio rebrand?

Did you see any cases for it?
No I did not. I asked but they said they do not know of any coming out yet. I can't find this battery announced anywhere so it must be a brand new item from Sprint, guess I got lucky.
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
jesus it makes the evo look like a damn hunchback. i wish these companies would make these slimline only.
With phones outpacing battery technology by a very large margin, this is the only way so far. I mean there is the option of carrying a second battery, but that seems a little unnecessary. I'll trade aesthetics for convenience and utility.
Can these be purchased online?
mr2man07 .. how are the 3000mah batteries working for you, have you tested them? I've read eBay batteries are lower than actually rated as they arent regulated, even the Seidio's are falsely rated.
Thanks for the heads up, gonna pick one up tomorrow...
Just picked it up , charging .. Got the last one in the store ....

I do not even think they are announced from Sprint yet. I managed to get lucky and the guy told me they had them in stock if I was interested. Told me it was $49.99 and I jumped on it.
I have yet to receive them. They are still about a week out, maybe less. This one has only dropped about 15% over 5 hours of moderate-heavy usage. This is on the Fresh rom with battery-config script.
They are online

Do you know if they add the same height as the seidio 3500? I have the innocase extended on mine with the innocase extended holster ordered. I wonder if it would work with this battery. Also let us know how the battery does. I wonder how many actual mah it is.
I have no idea how it compares to a Seidio. I have not had the opportunity to do a comparison.

Keep us posted on the performance. I think it will probably been on par with the 3500 batteries.
nice find!
now if we could only get an OEM extended slim battery.
i just can't bring myself to use an extended back. i love my cyclops case too much.

30 minutes of Angry Birds, 30 minutes of Reckless Racing, 30 minutes of browsing and 3 youtube videos, the rest being standby with WiFi at 7 1/2 hours total time uncharged, it barely dropped 20%. Whereas my oem battery would be around 40-50%. This being on only the batteries first full chrage.
I love it, it is no longer mandatory to put the phone on the charger just to navigate to clients for work, or to be able to use tethering.
I am a Network Technician, and I use my phone a LOT during work days, and this battery will help me greatly.
Obviously, this is not for everybody. I see my phone as a utility, a tool for my job and a personal gadget/toy on off-hours, not some fashion device, so its "beauty" is not as important as its functionality.
Jesus H Christ, that backplate and battery looks bigger and crappier than my Chinese-made 3500mAh, which I got two of at just over 1/3 the price.
im new to the forums but been following and taking UR guys advice for a while....anyways I just picked one of these up today to. Last one at that. I was gonna get the 3500 mah battery from hk right before I bought this one but went with this since oem. I would like to see how long it last.
Update: its now close to 6 hours of being in my phone under heavy usage and it hit 15% and that was out of package with no charging.

Rule of thumb on these is most batteries are shipped with a 50-60% charge from the manufacturer . It also has yet to be seen if this battery is truely a 2600mah . As its well known from Batteryboss even the Seidio doesnt hold a true 3500mah charge . From batteryboss the Seidio is only holding 80% of its advertised capacity . If the battery from Sprint holds true to that ratio it still will hold a charge of 2080mah (This is just theory and estimated) . You should see an improvement over battery performance from stock . Give the battery a few charge / discharge cycles .
Just grabbed one last night and not really sure if Im gonna keep it. The main issue I have is my phone is completely naked now. Ive got no holster or protective case and Im paranoid about dropping it. Gonna try and see if theres some type of case at best buy tonight that will fit this battery even if I have to modify it.
As far as life goes, Just took it off the charger so gonna try and use it heavier than normal today and see what I get

- More capacity in the same form factor
- Fits in existing space so no replacement door is needed

So, basically a fancy replacement battery. Guess it will all come down to price. If it's only $5-$10 more than a standard replacement, I'd definitely get the slightly higher capacity pack.
I'd really be interested in a major capacity bump and a replacement door. Could give it a battery sized bulge, or an iphone 3gs (and earlier) style curved back.

i bet its not even really 2200mah and will not outlast the oem battery and will be more expensive if past batteries they release are an indication.
They did tests over on the captivate forum with crap ebay china batteries and even the Seidio batteries and they were ask worse than the oem despite having higher mah. The seidio actually just barely beat the $5 ebay one despite being like 17x more expensive.

you say that, but using basic electrical formulas for batteries, and the fact that the 1900mAhr battery can net me 36 hours on a charge. the extra 300mAhrs would give another 5.6 hours. That isn't insignificant.
of course that all assumes they can deliver on promises.
Its really impossible to do in the way batteries work

My experience with aftermarket batteries (for all kinds of devices) is that they rarely outlast the OEM batteries, no matter what mAh spec the manufacturer prints on the label. Most of them don't even last as long as the OEM batteries.
But hey, maybe these Seidio engineers have enabled cold fusion.
I just got 2 Motorola BH6X batteries on eBay for 12 bucks including shipping. I don't care about continuously charging batteries overnight, **** paying 50~65 bucks for a fancy battery that lasts 2 more hours. People should utilize eBay more instead of investing in gimmicks.

lol just wait a few months when your ebay batteries stop holding a charge and see if you still go back to ebay for batteries...and its not 2 more hours, oem batteries usually last 30-40% longer than ebay ones.
I've bought tons of batteries from eBay, they all worked perfectly. I guess I must be lucky. I don't know where you pulled those statistics from but whatever, everyone has different results. What works for one person clearly might not work for the other. To each his own.

i never said ebay batteries dont work, they just dont work very well...even if you get lucky and get an ebay battery that close to the listed mah it will start loosing capacity withing a few month, they have fewer charging cycles than an oem battery. i used to buy ebay batteries for my phones and laptops but start to realized batteries are not something you want to go cheap on but im glad that they are working out so far for you.
Guess I just got lucky. Oh well, what works for someone might not work for other people. No biggie, sucks for the people who bought **** batteries.

Andida 2600 maH BAttery for the Galaxy Note?

Hi, I was wondering if any of you had try that Andida battery yet? Andida usually make very good alternative battery to original but this product is still very new, I cant find any review anywhere yet about it.

Hello, I'm wondering the same if any user have any experience with this battery that claims 10 to 15% more battery juice for the note.
http://tinyurl.com/74h85h2
It seems that Japanese batteries instead of Chinese batteries have more xxx on providing the claimed power or mah. If that is the case, there is other two interesting batteries to explore:
3000 MAH
http://tinyurl.com/6wohgsy
2900 MAH
http://tinyurl.com/6sayynn
Also, these two batteries cost more than other ebay offers of 2 batteries plus charger. That seems to say something too. I am tempted to try the 3000MAH. Right now I'm just getting 12 hrs with my use style. I would love to extend to 15-16 hrs. That would allow me for a typical work day.
Right now I'm using 4-AA Imedion batteries within a Gomadic charger. This allows me three days of extra power before needing to charge the AA.
I know for sure Andida have a good reputation, I dont know about these 2 others brand.
For sure I would like to know more if some forum user experimented already.
Sorry about posting the other options. I felt in the marketing hype. It seems that company (e-cell) is not selling Japanese brands and others with others phones beware of that.
So it seems we should stay with already proven brands like Andida, Anker and others. I will try Andida and let you know.

I bought 1 original Samsung Battery and one other "oem" that I never trusted. I'm about to buy that 3000mAh ...Did you try it?
Sent from my Xoom on EOS ICS Everest
No, I didn't. The thing is that if you search within the forum for the "Gold" battery from business batteries, you'll find that everybody say it is not Japanese battery to begin with and just hold around 80% of the marketed mah. That is less than original samsung. Other said it lost juice around the 10 charge. It seems that all batteries sold from e-cell in ebay have this problems. Getting a battery for a phone that is old maybe is ok, but since we are looking more power I think we should look somewhere else.
OTOH, it seems brands like Andida, Anker and Mugen are more recognized brands. I will try the Andida and hope to hear something around 3000mah from Mugen.
Don't try the gold battery!!!!! I had it with my HTC desire. Its an outright fake. If you tear off the gold sticker, its a really lousy cell with cardboard stuffed. Lower than OEM!
In fact, I had 2 of this ****. Shameful dispray!!
I purchased 2 batteries from China for 5$, free shipping.
First the China batteries are light, my digital scale says for the genuine Note battery 49 grams, an both chinese are 41 grams.
There is 8-9 grams less material to accumalate current.
And its true, chinese cheap ones last, full charged, 20% less than genuine.
For me its OK for that price, if i need extra power, the two chinese are in my pocket, as spare batteries.
so these extended batteries are same size as stock?

using it andida 2600mah almost 10 charges what i say bad then original. My ori batt from 100% to 99% around 15min on andida confirm less then 10min just normal browsing.
Guys I even tried Chinese battery and (as someone said) it's just lower in terms of weight. It even SMELLS...but works! Performance is about a 20/30% less instead of oem ones and I just leave it in case of an emergency.
About the "Gold" battery of e-cell, I don't really trust in a battery which seems powerful (in mAh) keeping the same shame! It's not logical, by the way I advice you to buy only Genuine OEM batteries and PERSONALLY I don't trust in sellers who say "genuine...oem...IN BULK". Original Samsung battrries are NOT in a bulk

[OFFICIAL THREAD] Anker battery 1900mah

Hello there.
Im new here but i saw that there are a lot of posts about those batteries but there is no main thread to explain\share\review information about this batteries.
so I thought we need this one.
What is ANKER? Anker is a brand of batteries Fantasia Trading LLC company known more as a U.S. laptopmate
They have a website? Yes, [link will be here later]
What is special about the battery? The ANKER batteries reach a volume of 1900MAH Unlike the original Samsung battery [1650MAH], as of this moment is the most powerful battery-sized or enlarged with same size as original.
There is also a battery of 1750, does not interest most of us when the 1900
Okay, and how long a battery that adds me? It adds about 20%, of course it depends on the use
Do I need a new cover? No, the battery is the same size as the original so that it fits your device without the new cover
Is safe to use? Nothing is certain in this life, but so far everyone who has this battery was pleased ...
I heard about the guy that blew a battery ... has a documented case of a guy on XDA generic charger used to charge the battery outside the device, if you use an external charger use only original ANKER
Must use external charger? No, the battery is loaded in the device excellent with the original samsung charger.
OK, so where I buy it? The battery is not available for sale in all countries directly,but you can check\buy it from the manufacturer's EBAY or AMAZON store
What are most recommended initial charging? Recommended to 3 ~ 4 full discharge cycles (0% -100%) before starting to use a normal battery
more Q&A to come
reserved/reserved
I got this battery 2 months now and is really decent (i paid 11euros all included). With medium usage and 100 apps on my phone it's enough for one day. 50 apps and low usage with wifi on all day i get 50% by the time i go to bed.
Is this one really better than the stock battery? and is it works?

The reason I asked is because other brands on ebay claims the same but from what I've seen the other says they actually worse than Sam's original one and just fake.
it seems Anker is the only one on ebay which is works good?

No this one is actually better. Not 20% but about 15%. It keeps me running for on day with medium to heavy usage.
It is a good battery at a good price. However, I have noticed that sometimes when my battery drops to <15%, the phone will just turn off right away without discharging all the way to 0%. Other than that it's worth the money.
I have had nothing but trouble since I bought mine. Bought froma reputable Ebay dealer.
Random freeze ups, phone would just die.
Tried multiple ROMS/Multiple kernels. Always thought it HAD to be something I was running, but when I went back to factory , my phone was stable again.
It's quite a drawn out story, but long story short, Im curious if I got a dud or if they all have a similar flaw?!?
No problems here. As other users wrote... it's not actually a 20% improvement but it is an improvement. I think that my battery is about 10% better but that's based on my average usage and observations.
Sounds like yours is a dud. I got two (had them shipped back home, then family shipped them to me since ebay seller didn't ship to Korea) and they work very well in my Korean SII, lasts longer than my stock batteries now.
are there any over heating problems with this battery?
Just brought this battery from Amazon for £10.99 will post update when I have got it and used it for awhile. Seems like a good bargain for the extra juice and the fact that it is the same size as original battery seems great
i am using it and i am fu**ing love it indeed

Is safe to use? Nothing is certain in this life, but so far everyone who has this battery was pleased ...
I heard about the guy that blew a battery ... has a documented case of a guy on XDA generic charger used to charge the battery outside the device, if you use an external charger use only original ANKER

hi there you say everyone is happy that bought the battery -- iam not
mine lasted for 2 minutes before blowing up , iam not the only user that has had this either
if you read the amazon reviews for the sensation anker battery and the sgs2 anker battery other people have had them blow up as well
you say to only charge them in an offical anker charger but 90% of the places that sell them sell them with a cheap chinese charger and you havent shown any pictures of the genuine charger or anything which is a bit useless -- for those wanting to know it is white and has black writting that says ''anker'' the cheap chinese chargers are black and crap
also laptop me or whoever they are didnt give a monkeys about the battery blowing up and when i emailed them they didnt respond -- great customer services that
iam sorry but for £16 you can buy a genuine samsung battery with a bigger mah rating that can als be charged in an offical samsung desktop charger why risk house fires etc with an exploding battery and dodgy chinese charger
i wouldnt recomend the anker battery to my worst enemy let alone a forum full of sgs2 users looking for a bigger battery
a quick google of ''anker exploding battery'' will bring you back quite a few hits of other users and exploding batterys one guy had one explode in his phone

thats my battery after 2 minutes in the charger and here is the thread that i posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19695771&postcount=5
also why another thread on anker batterys?? we already have a few in this section already running what makes this an offical one?? is the op laptopme pushing their batterys or something??
I got two of these batteries and one charged off the ebay.. I'm using it for more than 20 days and it is working quite good. would say the battery lasting at least %10 to %20 more than the stock battery and I'm loving it
Thanks

Mugen 2300mAh battery-is it worth it?

I'm thinking of getting the Mugen 2300 milliamp/hour battery, but for 44 dollars, is it worth it? I game a lot, download a bunch of apps or update them, facebook, browse Google Play, etc. Will I have any issues with my Speck Candyshell case? I'm thinking of this one because its size is the same as the OEM battery and I don't wanna have to get a new battery door.
been using the iphone past month just switched back to the s3 today. Well last night.
Battery fits oem door. On my first charge so i cant comment on battery life.
Theres a 7 percent discount code that u can get on the website, i forgot where. I bought it when it was on sale for 38.
Shipping takes about a week and a half. They ship from china!
for the price, i would say no
its better to get the oem samsung battery.
its cheaper i think
slighly smaller capacity
but at least its made by samsung and can be more trusted
just my $0.02

Bad resource. I'm using Mugen Power for 2 years already and cannot imagine an Android phone without their battery.
The 2300mAh is more of a replacement battery, because it only adds 200mAh, but if you really need power, I'd go for their 4600mAh battery.

Looks interesting. It doesn't seem like its false information but maybe they decided on making better quality for the S3 batteries. I'll be receiving the 4600mAH Mugen battery soon and I'll have bench mark comparisons against the Hyperion, Anker, QCell, and Seidio. Hopefully it turns out ok for the price Mugen's charging us.
For the price it's just better to get one of the extended batteries /w door off Amazon. They're cheap and juice filled.
I'm using the OEM, because I don't want a huge-mungo thickness out of my thin phone and the battery services me well enough.

maybe the information is too old..but he was using a hardware to test the battery performance..so i think the test is valid.
below is an example of batteryboss battery test result on xda..

I wouldn't spend that much. I bought two Qcell batteries and a charger on Amazon for $25. They advertise 2300mah. Not sure if it's truly 2300 but it last just as long if not a tiny bit longer than my stock battery. They also have NFC built in. Individually the Qcell batteries are $10, so you could have 3 spare batteries and a charger for less than the price of one mugen battery.
I've been using the Qcells for about 2 months now. I havnt had any issues with them and NFC works great.

They got caught putting a fake capacity. Switched the title to 2100mAH

I also use the QCell batteries and they work great. One of the best deals on batteries in my opinion. I have also tried other ones from eBay and they don't even come close to the QCell ones.
