Check out this item I found on eBay:

I guess I should mention, that two or so months ago, all these "chinese extended batteries" weren't around for the glide, now ebay is flooded with them. And I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with them. And yes, mugen extended is still the battery of choice. Wasn't there "acesoft" batteries at one point too?

I will try one and see if it works great with the ICS leak.

Just bought one i will report its qauilty when it arrives.

Yeah, I just stumbled upon this and would love to see how it works. Sounds like it could be an excellent way to spend $10.
I recently got a "chinese extended battery" of a similar make via ebay for my gfs HTC Thunderbolt, and she tells me that, and i quote "seems to last just a lil bit longer" than her stock battery.
I also just purchased one for the glide today, so I'll see how it holds up. I may just pay the $80 for the Mugen battery, because I hear nothing but awesome things.
But i also use a portable phone charger, which works great. Marware 2,600mah portable charger, that i got for $5 via dealnews back in july ( http://dealnews.com/Marware-2-600-m-Ah-AMPED-Portable-Charger-for-5-5-s-h/592609.html) I think they go for $20 or so on amazon? but it works GREAT! a lil odd to keep in your pocket though.. lol, and theres a detachable usb cable u must also haul around

Has anyone received one of these yet? Interested in one, but want to know if it is any good...

I look forward to your report. A coworker of mine mentioned he had bought one of those china batteries and it started to bulge after 6 months. Granted, I guess you get what you pay for.

Bought the epic touch on release date. Could never get decent battery life on cm9. Thought I'd try a new battery since they're only $13. Went from under 2 hours screen on to 3 hours screen on time. Totally worth the 13$

No problem. Yes I got a new stock oem battery from ebay

You could have picked one up for free at the Sprint store. I just exchanged two batteries, mine and the wife's, they didn't even check me in or look at the batteries. You're right, though, a new battery makes a huge difference.

Would the cable make a difference even though I use the stock adapter?

Maybe adapter would be okay but others ones have different voltage they put out. Like a BB charger I use is 1A and the stock Samsung is 750mA
If I'm not mistaken ?

Just be careful and read the specs on all 3rd party chargers....one I bought for car has trashed the battery.
Sprint just replaced mine, can get up to 12 hours with moderate use

I have the one with the NFC built in and I have had no issues with it. I am typically a pretty have yet and I can go about 12 hours and be sheen anywhere between 30 to 25% before I charge it for the night. Now mind you that's with the screen on 100% brightness and no less than 3 hours of screen time being on....

Yeah u would think with how popular this phone is/was they would have came out with case to fit over all the different batteries or at least the most popular ones.

So I got bored and picked up a cheap 3800mah battery of eBay for around $10. I wanted to get the laza one with nfc but it isn't available in Canada. Once been running the cheapie for a few days now. I no longer have to charge at work and after 9 hours of light use on the weekend I am down less than one quarter.
Biggest downside is the supplied back doors not quite fit right.

Just an update. Battery life is consistently good. I leave work without charging at around 50%. Previously if I didn't charge while at work I would be down to 10-15%. I can play a hell of a lot of minecraft these days days. The issues with the back turned out to be from some plastic flashing. I cleaned up the edge and it sits snugger than the original back. Not bad for under$10

Extended OEM battery for the T-mobile Galaxy Nexus works great on our phone in the original case too! NFC capable.
Oh I can defiantly agree with that statement with an astrix, the old back does fit but it takes some force to get it to stay completely sealed and after about 6mo I had to replace the back of the device because the clips that held it on no longer worked properly just an FYI.....

Just bought this battery. I've been using it about 3 days and followed battery calibration instructions. So far I'm really not that impressed by it. I've heard with extended batteries it takes a few days to settle in...

Well the one I use is pretty much the Deep Sleep Battery Saver. And tweaking a few settings should do the trick.. Hope that helps..:thumbup:

There is no app for replacing a worn out battery.
If your phone is a year old or close to it, if your a flashaholic, you need a new battery.
Remove your battery and place in a flat surface, if it wobbles and you can spin it like a top, you need a new battery.
Make sure you spin it clockwise! !
If you spin it counter clockwise steve jobs will poltergiest out of your oven and eat your Epic Touch.
