I'm looking for a replacement battery for my SGS2.
7dayshop are selling a battery (rated at 1800mah) for a reasonably low price.
Searching the forums people seem to be recommending the I use 7dayshop because good customer service etc, however, nobody has put what sort of experience they have had with their battery.
Anybody who has used 7dayshop to buy their battery, can you tell me what sort of battery life you have with the battery.
Is it as good as stock and would you recommend I purchase the battery of them?

Hi,
I came over this one: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390301426669&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:NL:1123
If it's true then there's a cheap way to get 33% more battery power. The guys feedback seems good, does anyone know if it's possible for batteries that cheap to actually give such power?
I did order one to test but it can be a few weeks before it arrives. Can anyone tell me a good way to test batteries in the meantime?
I bought these http://www.spider-foot.com/2x-bst41...ericsson-xperia-play-zeus-bst412be-p-897.html which are also on ebay but i found that the seller has also his own site and they work surprisingly well, almost good as the original. I also got the battery charger which is incredible and I always have my play on and 2 extra full batteries in my pocket
I consider trying one of those in your link for more power but I doubt it that its 1950mah...
I needed a spare battery anyway for the weekends I'm gone (taking a battery with you is easier than a charger), so it's a small risk to make. I bet it won't take long before the big batteries with extended back covers start to up for less then they're costing now (99 dollars).
In my opinion its not a risk, the seller has almost 10000 positive feedbacks and the cost that you pay is 3€ for the battery and 4€ for shipping. Even if its not 1950mah you won't regret it. I also consider to buy one...
The fact that it won't be 1950 mAh (or close to it) is the risk I'm talking about and definitly worth the shot.
It seems the battery test in the service menu isn't working for me, it wants to charge even if it's already 100%, anyone else got it working?
Can anybody give me any advice on where to get a better battery for my phone. I tried mugen but paypal cant process my card. And the one on amazon is getting bad reviews. What can you ask from a ten dollar battery. Any help will be great thanks.

Google search using the shopping tab. You can find some batteries easily.
What kind of battery do you need, for what phone?
Have you tried limiting the 'useless' apps that consume a lot of energy? Or an app that limits connectivity when your dont use your phone (display is off)
Amazone should help

Look for 1800mAh batteries. They seem to be the 'limit' of batteries that still have the same physical dimensions as the original battery. Anything above that and the batteries get bigger. But take note to not buy no-name brands, because quality of the battery counts as well. Just like when you buy PSUs for a computer, you NEVER cheap out or risk damaging your whole system. So if you want a new battery, buy quality I wouldn't risk spending $10 on a battery from a non-reliable source.
other than mugen try sino or yoobao batteries there pretty darn good.
For decent battery life, I would like to trust original products from top brands. Why not try to find one on your manufacturer's site?
i think that depend for the ROM installed, i have inspire 4g and with some ROM spend more than other one, now i am using coredroid 8.1 y save a lot battery, , an the 6.1 spend more.
most battery are the same...
For a better battery life.. you may can shop from amazon.
What kind of battery do u need? But I think you can hardly find a better battery with 10$
I have one of those HongDa Power 3600mAh extended batteries for the Galaxy Nexus GSM... I'm a noob so I can't post a link to it, but they sell them as "hongdapower799" on ebay.
It's a 3600mAh extended battery for the GNex GSM version made by some company in Hong Kong. Battery Monitor Widget Pro estimates it between 2600-2750mAh, which is a nice, big improvement. I definitely notice an increase in life. It sucks that we can't get the Seidio 3800 battery with GSM, but at least we have something.
Does anyone else have one of these? What kinds of estimated mAh values do you get in Battery Monitor Widget?
Oh yeah... Also, has anyone tested this battery out with the Seidio extended Surface case designed for use with their 3800mAh battery? I ordered one and I'll test it out and post the results here, but if anyone has tried this and failed, I'll just send it back without opening it, lol.
I can't find this Hongda Power battery.
Here is the ebay listing for the battery:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3600mAh...Nexus-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-i9250-/260921234182
And here is the listing for the Seidio case:
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-surface-extended-case-black-p/csr2ssgnlx2-bk.htm
I have confirmed that the Seidio case is indeed a PERFECT fit with the phone containing the Chinese battery. Like PERFECT. And the battery is consistently rated at over 2600mAh. Not only that, the battery was a replacement for another one I got from HongDa which didn't have great capacity. The guy sent me another without charge. This combo is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to get more battery life on a budget!

So, if I understand you correctly, you got a battery with really poor capacity followed by good customer service and a replacement battery that consistantly achieves ~70% of it's rated capacity. And this qualifies for a high recomendation.
I'm not suggesting anything bad (or even out of the ordinary) regarding this seller or this battery, but I think that as consumers we've become far too accepting of battery shenanigans all around.

Just curious. How did you determine that it is rated at ~2600mAH (which is 25% of what it is advertised at) ?
Hey everybody,
I've tried looking to see if there was a thread about these two batteries before posting but came up with no results. I'm running a stock SGSII (4.0.4) with an Otterbox Defender (downhill skateboarding/military protection). Phone usage includes emails, texting, FB and games.
I'm looking for an extended battery after going through TWO Samsung OEM batteries within 11 months. Both the batteries got the bulge of death. Sprint store techs have run multiple diagnostics and replaced parts but have no idea why this is happening and won't replace my phone.
I came across a 'Galilio' 2500mAh battery as well as a 'Sporting Persistence' 2520 mAh battery while searching around on eBay. I'm staying away from the Andida 2300mAh after reading several stories about how the contacts were misaligned and the battery wasn't really 2300mAh.
I don't want to go with a big, bulky case due to my requirements for protection. I've read about the Mugen 1950mAh batteries being pretty decent, but they're a bit more than I want to spend.
Thoughts? Ideas? Anyone tried either of these?
Thanks!
I got a 2100mah battery that was really just a fake. It does work fine as a spare and it was cheap but its worse life than stock. I suspect those 2500mah you found are fakes too. I tried the andida which had better life than stock but the contact misalignment caused random reboots after a while.
My suggestion is to just buy an external charger and multiple batteries. I just pop an extra battery in my pocket and go about my day then if I burn thru two batteries in one day I still have the third at home.
Anything on the mugen battery? I want to keep my protective Trident case on my phone instead of putting on the cheap back and 3200mah siedo battery where I can't protect my phone... and wish to have increased battery life and I keep having the problem where when I reboot I go from 69% to 19%..... I haven't checked for battery bulge yet

Beware of Lithium battery scams, ONLY BUY MUGEN!!!

In my search for extended slim batteries I learned many lessons. I kept buying them from eBay until I got to the bottom of the conspiracy.
The batteries I purchased were for my Galaxy S2 and my Galaxy S3.
Lesson #1: If the battery price is too good to be true, it probably is. Case in point, I purchased several great deals on 'Samsung' brand OEM replacement batteries, all were under $10 bucks and all were counterfeits. All lasted only 2/3s of the time compared to the old and well used battery I was trying to replace. Some of these fakes didn't even have the chip inside that communicated with my phone, so as soon as you plugged in the wall charger the phone would immediately cut off, which is bad for your operating system. If the battery doesn't communicate with your phone properly, it's a fake. I went one step further and weighed the stock battery against the replacement battery and the replacement was far lighter, further proving it was a fake.
Lesson #2: High capacity fakes. I decided to try my luck at after market name brand and generic batteries that claimed longer battery life (a higher milliamp hours [mAh] or higher capacity). I ordered them one at a time, each time one came I would weigh it, it would ALWAYS be lighter than the stock battery (the only exception is Mugen). That was my first clue at fraud. Some of these brands communicated perfectly with my phone and charged OK but they were still lighter, telling me they had less lithium and less capacity. I tested each several times (because it takes a few charges to break in a new battery) but they were the same as the others, all would last only 2/3s the time of the worn out stock battery I was trying to replace. In all cases I would return the battery and try a different brand. In the end buying Mugen brand for $40-$45 a battery is the only way to get a quality replacement battery that lasts a long time but fits like the stock battery.
Mugen batteries are the only brand I can find that actually weigh more than stock OEM batteries. Mugen batteries last a long time, just like they claim. Now I only buy Mugen. Save up your money, it is worth the extra cash for the longer life. Would you want to carry replacement batteries around with you and swap them out twice a day or just use one Mugen? I charge my phone once at night and then use it all day long. Even on days with heavy use I still put it on the charger with a charge left.
I've tried most of the names you mentioned and many more. Maybe there are other illegitimate companies other than Mugen, but I wouldn't know, and I've looked. For anyone wanting to continue my search, the key is to research the name brand and see if they have a website that looks illegitimate. Do they sell batteries for other model phones and devices? Do they sell their own brand of battery charger? If not they are fly by night and are selling you a low capacity battery with a short life but have slapped a label on that claims a higher capacity. If you order one WEIGH IT and compare the weight to your OEM battery that came with the phone.

Have you ever tried the Anker brand? I have also read that those are legit. But I will like to hear that from someone that actually runs serious tests on them. Thank you
I've had the anker battery for over a week now. With my normal use I get about 20% more life than my stock non bloated battery

I have the andida and it seems to last about 2 hrs more then the stock one but ever once in awhile when it over heats the phone resets and you lose about 20% battery

Chichitech is legit, 20$ and got a higher capacity, heavier battery for my HTC Evo 3d. I will buy from them again.
Edit not happy with my chi chi tech batteries for sgs2. Loved it for HTC evo v 4g but it seems to be decidedly higher quality than these ones for the sgs2
An extended battery on ebay (only place I can find it) that is as slim as the stock GS3 battery. The seller feedback / reviews seem good enough (no real negatives that I can find, in relation to this particular product).
Anyone out there tried this? Noticeable improvement? Seems pretty amazing if this works as advertised.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AceSoft-3160mah-Battery-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S-3-III- I9300-SGH-I747-L710-i535-USA-/271141691003
Its physically impossible to put another 1060mah into the same size battery. Sorry to burst your bubble but its probably a 2100 or 2200 mah with a new sticker slapped on it.
I like to break stuff!
I would strongly advise against this. I bought an extended battery from eBay and it turned out to be WORSE than the stock battery and made my phone all glitchy. If anything I'd recommend going to Amazon so you can see actual customer reviews.

There are a few reviews on Amazon for different Acesoft "Extended" batteries that don't require new battery doors. The reviews were mixed, at best, with one person saying they had longer life, but they were getting mixed information from a battery status app they were using, about how many mA's it actually had at full charge, and such. It shows only $20, so if you feel like it is worth it, I'd say go for it. I pre-ordered, then cancelled, the 3000mAh OEM Samsung extended battery for my phone. Since I see the GS4 is coming, I'll hold off on the battery.
great

whatever size it is it last a lot longer than the stock battery does.
I would highly recommend battery
I would advise against it. It looks like a rebranded Stock Capacity Battery.
OK so I was searching for a battery replacement. I bought one from Amazon by a company called AceSoft. The battery on the website was advertised as 2900mAh. However, when I got it it was 3160mAh. Its a slim standard size (no cover replacement required).
I have to say, 2 days and beating on the phone, and I am getting no less than 12.5 hours solid and at least 3.5 hours of screen time (50% of use).
Here are some screenshots of using it with KT747 Kernel and no Tweaks
The others (9hrs battery and 2.5hrs screen) are from my original 2100mAh battery with KT747 Kernel and some tweaks for battery life
I was going to ask the same thing, I've already got a decent case on my phone and only really want a free extra hours. Are there any recommended batteries that are the same slim size?
