So im in the market for a new battery. A higher capacity one but slimline. I do not want a different size battery door. Anybody know of any good ones for a decent price?
Great question. I'm wondering the same thing.
I bought this one. I had to wait a month for it since is came from Hong Kong. I can get ~16 hours running the screen at 80% brightness, texting alot, 3g radio always on, constantly checking email. No complaints other than the time it took to ship.

I was sceptical but the reviews swayed me and I tried these- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XOUM12
I'm pleasantly surprised, I notice a definite difference in battery life and the wall charger is a bonus. For the price it's hard to beat and delivery was within a week.

$24??? Ouch man. I've bought tons of them and I always get them for $17 for two of them and a charger with free shipping. It usually only takes 2 weeks to get here.

Personally I have found these batteries no better than the stock htc red. With juice defender I get fair batt life with either...10-16 hours or so. I do find the wall charger useful as the battery never gets fully charged when charging in the phone.
There are no slim batteries that are better than stock, the only thing to increase your battery is to add a few millimeters oh my god, to your phone and get a 3500 you won't be disappointed, and yes like someone already said, use the search button next time this must be my like 6th time answering this question muskeg let alone if someone else did too, which I feel has happened too

the battery i have is a 2000mAh i checked it over. seems fine to me.
i get 17-22 hours with my best buy platnium battery (seido knock off) tht i bought off ebay.. so i would disagree there are some extended battery tht does work and there are some that doesnt have the right mah...
I have the 2000mah battery and its marginally better than my OEM battery.
The Seidio stock size extended battery sucks. Doesn't even charge past 90% anymore, and I didn't really notice a difference.

there isn't a real 2000mah battery for the evo, yours is most likely 1400 repackaged to say 2000. how exactly did you check it over, with your eyes?

The Best Buy battery isn't a Seidio knock-off - it IS a Seidio battery that they package for Best Buy.

This cool little thing called a volt meter. We have them in the 21st century, definitely should check it out.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-for-motorola-atrix-4g-with-battery-door.html
For a price of $119.95..Unfortunately out of stock..but a may 25th date has been set as the shipping date..Anybody want the "Extra Strong Extended Replacement Battery..w/ 2.55x the stock battery life"..sounds pretty damn nice!
That's more than I paid for my atrix!
hard to tell from such a small picture... but that looks like a remarkably crappy battery door....
4800? holy ****

Wow,
Man, that's ginormous. I like that this phone's battery lasts almost a good 24hrs with solid use. My Evo would last that long if I barely used it lol. Oh and my girlfriend's Inspire! Forget about it, lol.
Overall, I'm happy with the battery life now and can't imagine how long something that large would last.

That thing is horrendous. I get decent battery life out of the stock battery. I think it'd be more economical to just get an additional OEM battery and carry that in your pocket, not that behemoth!
the real mAH is prob much lower than 4800. And for the price and size, Id rather tape on two spare batteries to my phone

not to mention an extended battery for the Atrix. would probably make the fingerprint reader harder to use.

Yea. Actually took the case and cover off my phone after reading that little bit. Didn't remember the battery being right at the base of the fingerprint reader. So using a seriously big battery would make that kinda pointless.... since not only would it be hard to reach, but they'd have to design some crazy cover to even get it to work.
I bought one of these and so far NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!?
Is there something I need to do so Android understands it has more capacity, or does it just s*ck? I was also wondering if others have similar experience.

Some devices will only recalibrate the battery meter when the battery gets completely (or almost completely) discharged and THEN fully recharged. Don't know if that's the case with Atrix, but it's worth a try.
I just received mine too. Will be trying it out later tonight. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Post some good pics of it. The one on the site looks like it was taken with an Apple Quicktake.
Exactly as the title suggests I'm looking for everyone's opinion on the best stock size battery for the Note. I've been using the Mugen battery but at times the bulk seems too much and I'm interested in trying something stock size that gets me at least a little better than stock battery performance.
Thoughts, opinions, experiences?

it is too expensive? any cheap battery for extend battery life of galaxy Note
I use the "golden battery", the sticker on it says 3250 mAh.. and that power stays at the sticker. It is roughly as good or just a tiny bit better than stock battery.
I get 3 hours 10 minutes maybe 20 minutes less or more each day of screen time on weekdays with stock battery. Let's use this as a standard for me.
With gold battery I get 3 hours and 40 minutes with a variation of 30 minutes more or less.
So it doesn't last 30% more as the sticker suggests.. but meh it lasts as much or a little bit more so I am not bothered with a 15 doller battery I can carry in my wallet as a backup

Do explain why it should be crap? Isn't it known that with most products you pay partially for the "brand name"
Anker cost 20$ for pair of battery's and a charger or 10$ for single battery... Not that expensive but you have most XDA behind it saying it's a good company

I got a 2700mAh Anker off Amazon that BMW Pro is now estimating to be 2983mAh
Maybe I'm using BMW Pro wrong...
Also, it seems to handle charge/discharge better, it doesn't get as hot as stock under load.
Sent from my BBP
I was thinking about it, and it seems plausible that the best stock sized battery for this phone at this moment would be a 2700mah one. If you look at it, the Mugen 5400mah extended battery is just 2, 2700mah batteries linked together.
Until a revolution in batteries is made, I don't think we'll get a stock sized one with a better mileage .
different capacity with stock size battery
It's mean the concentration become higher...
just wondering.
you know the anker charger that comes with the bundle if you buy 2 anker 2700 batteries?
does it charge the stock battery as well?
im assuming it does cuz the batteries are the same size (right?)
just wanting to make sure.
cheers.
UPDATED -> Post, video & LOADS of pictures!
I felt like posting on XDA too - so here it is, the battery stand/charger!
I bought it for £31, I thought might as well, especially for the extra official battery.
Here's my video on it:

Finally, I was wondering if anyone else has it, and what you guys think of it?

does the battery have an NFC antenna in it? from your picture, it looks like it's just a normal battery...
how long does it take to charge up the battery?

Plus when you charge the extra battery here, it lasts longer, as it goes to 100% properly, not like the phone charger.

I am afraid this battery is not worth it, unless your current one has degraded to under 2400mah.
The HSABAT battery I got was rated at 4000-45000mah according to the specs on the page, but when testing I have come to the conclusion it has only 2400-2500mah.
- AccuBattery gave the average of 2.451mah after 25 charges.
- My multimeter told me the battery has approx 2.489mah left.
So yeah, no good luck here.
