Cheap 3500 mAh battery ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/3500mAH-Sprint-HTC-EVO-4G-Extended-Battery-Door-B-/170545479525?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27b54d7f65#ht_2527wt_1039
Anyone get anything like this?
Does it give the same results as the seidio battery that goes for $69.99?
Just trying to get some info before I "get what I paid for"

did you try searching first? Theres tons of threads on this battery. I love it and I think its great, I use it every day and it protects the camera lens. defiantly worth the money, forget that sedio ripoff battery unless your rich.

I got my batteries from this guy. They are amazing for the price, not as good as seido but they do hold a charge. I charge mine on the charger it comes with only after I know they are completely dead. I can tell I get about 30-40% more battery life out of them compared to stock, just make sure you cycle them a bunch once you get them. After a few complete drains and full charges they do pretty well. Well worth the money. for 10 more bucks u can get another battery and charger.

I have 2 of these and 2 Seidios. The Seidio's are much better. (I only paid $50 and $45 (one was used from someone with an Incredible on eBay, really is exactly the same battery tho).
The Seidio's have been tested at batteryboss.org to actually be around 2800mAh, which is still about 90% better than stock battery.
After using the 3500mAh Chinese ones, I get the feeling they are actually more around 2100-2150mAh (just my guess, won't know for sure until batteryboss tests them), which is only about 40% better than stock.

Lots of info on the ebay batteries all around. I have the 3000mah and love it. I can finally go all day without charging my phone. I dont even have to think about my battery any more because no matter what it wont be dead before I'm going to bed at night. It would be nearing dead before around lunch time sometimes.
From what I have read though, is that all of these ebay batteries are just 2600mah batteries with different stickers on them....Either way, it last me longer than what I need it to, so I am very happy with it.

Do the 2700, 3000, 3200, and 3500mAH batteries on eBay all seem to come with the same rear cover and make the Evo equally thick, or are the smaller batteries a little bit thinner than the largest ones and sold with slightly lower-profile covers?

Is there a way to buy these for that price without ebay? I got banned over $10. I looked around the cheapest I could find was $50.

This is what the MAH seems around, on ebay this would prob be 10 bucks but since you got banned this was the cheapest i found. I wonder if anyone has tried using these back covers with the seidio battery. I bought the 3500mah ebay battery they just have a higher mah sticker on them but i will post results after 5 or 6 full discharge cycles.

So far, there are two extended battery backs: the Seidio and the "Chinese". I've not seen any others.

I saw those on Amazon, they have a couple of 3500's for 40+shipping. Ill probably just pick up one of those. Thanks.

With the battery conditioned 3 times so far, I am at 72% as we speak. I have been using moderate use with 3g enabled synce full volume and medium brightness. I have been surfing the web and I have sent out about 50 texts. Made around 5 3 minutes calls. These battery's seem to be worth the money if you don't want to spend 60 dollars. I have 2 of these batteries and 1 of them is really good and the other one is so so. The good one is the one I am using now, I am guessing it is around 2100-2500mah not close to seido bat a LOT cheaper with a better back cover. I will post pics when this thing actually dies. I am at 5 hours of awake time and 18 hours of uptime with 18 hours since unplugged. I am also overclocked to 1.2ghz with a live wallpaper running the whole time . I got mine off ebay from feitong2009. Sorry for the wall of text, I just like to help people out a little.

Yea I need one cause I stream radio over 3g alot at work, I get about 3-4 hours on a charge. If I could get at least 8 or more with a fat batt, I'll be happy.

I believe they are only rated at around 2200mah...
I have one, it's alright, I don't use it... makes the phone too far for what it's worth.

Here is the battery life at the end of the day. I turned on the phone before I went to bed and put it into airplane mode. When I woke up I did moderate use through the whole day. Good enough for me.

The ones from feitong are legit. Ice had mine for about a month and a half and I'm getting about 12-18 hrs on medium to heavy usage

Yeah, I ordered one. For $10 - why not? I'll post back my thoughts after I receive and try it out for a bit.

For those who can't but on ebay, gorillagadget has them for $20 and obostore.com has the Yooboa(sp?) 3500mah battery with ebay back for $30. Yooboa is a well known chinese battery brand.
Swyped from my supercharged Evo!

I wonder how the Yoobao stacks up to the seidio. Prob the same as the 10 dollar battery's.

I imagine it is slightly better than the ebay batteries yet still slightly under the Seidio. There is a very small difference in between them all though. All of these batteries should be within $10 of each other. Its just crazy that the Seidio is so much when it just barely out last the ebay batteries....

I have the yoobao battery with the external charger from the obostore. I get 2 days of moderate to heavy use. The most i have got was 83 hours from light to moderate use. I'm running Freshes rom. Theirs a big difference in the battery life if you use the external charger.

Extended 3500mah ebay batteries?

Has anyone bought any of the 3500mah extended batteries off ebay? $30-40 seems really cheap for that. I know they're from china but can anyone tell me about how much more battery life ill actually get with one? Thanks
And if anyone has a picture of how much bigger it makes ur evo thatd be great...

Get the ones from china; you can get them for like $1, and 10$ for shipping...
and the 3500Mah battery gives you 2.33x more battery over stock.

Well ya I know its technicly 2.33x more but are the batteries actually that big? Do u have one? Thanks

Yea, you can easily go a day on that battery. With some under/over clocking you can get 2 day+.

I got 3 days on a 1750 battery from BB that is the same size as the stock battery.
all depends on what you setup to do what.
also, the extended batteries do make your phone huge. At least to me it seems huge. Then again. I am from the iphone, and every iphone, specially the iphone 4, makes the evo look fat as it is.

you bought the 1750mah platinum series by seido at best buy? that one is lithium polymer, thats how they can get the 1750mah rating in the stock form factor. how is the battery? build quality, temperature while in use, heavy use, charging?

the temp is in the same ranges as my stock battery, if not slightly cooler to be honest. My phone would feel hot say while charging with the stock battery, my phone stays cool when charging with the seido battery.
as for build quality, it seems just fine, except the cover around the battery is a little loose, cannot say for sure if it is this battery as a whole or just mine, but it doesn't seem to cause any problems other than my OCD kicks in when I have to pull the battery out haha.

I got my eBay China 3500 mah battery 2 week ago and I love it. Problem is it took 2 months to get here since it came straight from China. But, hey it only cost $7 so I cant complain. My phone can finally last a full day under heavy use. Heavy as in constant YouTube and web browsing. Plus wifi, 4G and gps stays on all day. I plan to order another 7 dollar battery for backup.

I ordered a two pack, 2 batteries and two backs w/ external charger. There are two evo's in the house that use them and both work wonderful. I use mine all day under heavy use, mainly bluetooth music streming to my vehicle. I can go a day and half maybe, but I charge every night. My wife can use hers for three days with light use, facebook and crap. I spent $18 including shipping and the phone feels much better in hand, I prefer the extra heft. Here are a few pictures next to an american quarter for size (too lazy to grab other phone and swap batteries).
Hope this helps. It is very cheap, you should just do it, if you don't like it sell 'em on craigslist.

Mugen 3200mAh for 17th of July

Found this
Battery with backcover but 3200mAh!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't expect it to do any wonder. Jused a Mugen battery on my N97 back in the days and it had the same battery life as the standard Nokia battery.
/CK

99!!! Too expansive.
Here's 3500mAh with normal price.

Mugen with overprice battery.

I used one of these "extended batteries" for my previous phone.. Didn't work very well.. Maybe this one is better

I lol @ anyone who thinks that a 8$ extended battery is actually any better than the stock one Possibly even worse.

On my previous phone 6$ battery with 3500mAh worked much longer than stock battery.

I might get this battery. I am getting a decent amount of battery life now. I want to see how fat the mofo will be first!

I've used a 3200mAh from Mugen for my Desire and it worked fine. Will try this one, should give you round about one business week.
I keep you in touch when I got it.

Had an excellent experience with the same battery for SGS and definitely going to buy this one for my SGS II!!!
Mugen batteries are quality batteries.
If a 1650mAh samsung battery costs about 50$, then 99$ for double the power is a logical price.

mugen makes great batteries. bought one for my nexus one and it works great. you take risk buying those el cheapos on ebay. not all are bad, but by the time you finish buying one that is rated at face value you might end up spending $99. haha.

And your beautiful slim-lined phone is gone...
No thanx!

who needs slim? some people like meat on their phones. and for them to keep going and going all night long.

I just pulled the trigger! Got it directly from mugen which ships on the 15th:

I've used their extended batteries for the nexus one, the G2x and the Atrix and all of them have been awesome. I'm not really bothered by the thickness or weight of the phone as some do. I prefer the extended battery life. Didn't think twice about this one.

Yeah it will. Mugen makes very good batteries.
The only issue now is to see how many MM they've added onto it! It looks pretty ugly right off the top. But that's OK I guess.
I get 1 full day of usage off of the stock battery. So the extended will give me 2 days as it's just under 2x the power.

15.5 mm with the mugen accessories. so almost double thickness.

srsly?
Nearly 100 quid to make your phone look ugly as hell?
I easily get 2 days out of my battery, no need to dismember it like that.

And do you actually USE your phone? Yesterday mine was on standby for about 24 hours with 1 hour of screen usage in the 24 hours. This morning I woke up, I had 65% left. Which is fine! Perfect. But with me actually using my phone all day? I'll get 18 hours. Now! Imagine playing games and streaming content all day with that huge battery hehe.
I like the battery, I won't like the design of the phone much afterwards. I'll wait for someone to get it and take lots of pictures and even a video review. I'm not dying right now for battery life Not to mention, an OEM battery is about 24 euros. So I could get essentially 3 OEM batteries for less than the price of the Mugen!

Interested.....
Waiting for opinion on the batery
Cheers

I Want to Buy an Extended Battery But Which One???

Ive looked around abit and the reviews are mixed for all batteries.
I was wondering your guys honest opinion on a few ive looked at.
3500 mAh Gorilla Gadget: http://gorillagadgets.com/samsung-epic-4g-extended-battery-3500mah-with-back-plate.html
Hyperion 3500 mAh: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...4JFS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1324412744&sr=8-6
Seidio Innocell 3300 mAh: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce...8EYM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1324412744&sr=8-3
Im mainly looking into Hyperion and Gorilla Gadget, Seidio is a bit expensive
i Currently can get 8-10 Hours with med-heavy usage depending on how much i game. i can probably get around 20 Hours with minimal use just texting and bare bones. im running Starskys Rom 1.5, Samurai 3.30 Ninja, NO OC/UV on VR l/0 scheduler and conservative. What would be the best battery to get out of those and is it honestly worth it?
Any suggestions are appreciated

I have been using the gorilla gadget battery for just under a year. I bought it because of the price. I still only seem to get 10 to 12 with heavy usage (work and personal phone) but with light usage I have gone 20+.
I am running CM7.
Keep in mind though it does take a nice light thin phone and bloats it. And it definitely adds some weight.
Doesn't fit in a pocket quite as comfortably as the stock battery Al though I have gotten used to it at this point.

How is it compared to the 3500 mah batteries

I've heard that the Samsung 1800 mAh battery for the Epic Touch works just as well as the generic 3000mAh batteries.

Yeah, id have to say the 3500, with the added clutter isn't worth it but that's just my opinion. The 1800 pops right in and lasts a good 14 hours with a lot of usage.
Another thing to consider is where the battery is made. My factory 1500 was china, and the samsung 1800 I ordered was from japan. The difference and quality is noticeable.

I'm using the gs2 battery as well and am perfectly happy with it.

Here's the best option. The Seidio 3300 battery. This is the new version and uses all japanese cells, high quality.
But regardless of what extended batter you get, you must also purchass the Mugen extended batter door. This is by far the best extended batter door and feels perfit in my hands, I've held them all. Fits snuggly too.

I got a pair of 8$ 3500's with a "3 year warranty" off ebay, that came with extended backs and a 4$ cradle charger for the second battery.
I get 24+ hours out of the phone and can game endlessly by swapping batteries if needed.
also the big battery feels great in the hands.

Working at Boeing 12hrs a day, 7 days a week, I use the cheapy eBay extended batteries and covers and am able to stream solidly for at least 6hrs on each battery, which also includes the standard running apps in the background...SEVEN email, WhatsApp (which means I'm texting the GF in Dubai), TiKL and then the usual Sprint background services (voicemail, Market, etc that always run). I'm OC'ed at 1500mhz w/ MultiPicture Live Wallpaper running, always gettings texts and emails throughout the day. Point is, for $12 shipped for a battery w/ cover and a seperate wall charger for just the battery, I go through two batteries a day. One get close to dying around mid day, swap w/ the battery on the charger...rinse and repeat the next day

See that's the problem i could do all that on my regular 1500 mAh battery and at the end of the day i'm drained out if not a little closer. Why have all that extra stuff run when its not needed. I mean i used my phone for a little bit like texts and a few calls last week my battery was at 75% with 12Hrs and that was regular battery 1500 mAh. I'm hoping to get better results with this 3500 mAh one

I highly doubt that...when I was still stock, I could kill my battery within a few hours just playing Gameloft games. I find it incredibly hard to believe that you're streaming Pandora for 6+hrs and still have plenty of battery life left. As for what is or isn't needed, those are the things I use regularily...some would consider me a power user, always running overclocked, screen on full brightness when I use it, etc...so I'm guessing you're the type who is more concerned w/ battery life instead of performance. You admit you used your phone a little bit for texts, I use mine all the time for texts, both using Handcent for friends here in the U.S. and WhatsApp for my GF in Dubai...we have different battery needs, but I can guarantee your 1500mah isn't going to last longer than my 3500mah battery, generic or not.

My Review after 6 months of the 3800mah extended battery with cover

In the beginning it gave me around 2-2.5 days worth of battery per charge which was fantastic. The extended battery weighed about 3x the stock battery for outputting almost 2x. I liked the fact that it lifted the phone up so it wouldn't damage the camera lense (since the lense does stick out past the back cover). It was the same plastic as the rest of the phone so it made the phone look stock.
But after about 5 months, the battery capacity greatly decreased to the point where I was getting about 7 hours until I received the 20% battery warning. This battery was preforming worst than the stock battery.
So in the end I went back to the stock battery. What was everyone else's experience with these extended batteries?

Thanks. I was just shopping for an extended battery this morning. My stock battery is still doing okay after 14 months, but I wanted something to counter the effect ICS has had. I saw Seido's on sale at Newegg and was about to pull the trigger, I'll hold off until I hear more.

you might as well give it a try. I bought mine for around 10usd

Would you mind indicating exactly which 3800mAh battery you are reviewing?
Cell phone batteries and memory cards both suffer from a large amount of poor-product masquerading as quality. Reviews of this type of product are not actually helpful unless they identify the specific product, brand, and even seller.
I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if I purchased an extended battery for $10 and it started to go bad after 5-6 months. As comparison, my stock battery went bad after about 13 months. While paying more doesn't guarantee that you'll get something great, it is generally true in my experience that you get what you pay for.

I was gonna try the Trex or QCell batteries but held back after reading many so-so and bad reviews. Instead I decided to give the one made by Gorilla Gadgets a shot. I'll be receiving mine this week. I'll post up a review after I've had it for a few days. Hope it's awesome~!

Gorilla gadgets extended battery works really good. Had it on HTC evo, evo shift for my 12 yrs old son. On my ET4G too. No complaints at all.

I hope you're right. I just got mine today and I'm using it right now after it hit 100% charge. I hope this didn't turn out to be a waste of money. How long did the Gorilla batteries last for you on average? (not phone battery life but the actual battery itself life)?

my trexcell took a dump awhile back, now my stock battery is doing the same that did (say its charged then freezes and reboots to an empty battery) i just bought 2 cheap extended 3800s on ebay with a battery charger and extended backs for 17bux, will see how these fare in comparison.

I've seen a 4100mah battery on Amazon for about $30

It's the Qcell, and it's amazing so far

I have the Trexcell battery and it sucks. It drains so fast that it feels as if I have the OEM battery in the phone.

Yeah, after three trexcells, two that need to be thrown out because of bulging, I just got a qcell 4100. I know the number means nothing. It said to do 6 full charge and discharge cycles in the beginning, and let the first one charge for nine hours. I'm on my second charge so far. Don't know if it's true but I read somewhere to charge with the phone off. The first charge ran reaaaly long before dying. Don't know if it was bad batteries or bad external chargers, but both my Samsung externals would only charge the trexcells to 95%, even if it was a 12+ hour charge.

Here I am about 4-5 months in on my 3800 batteries. 1 trexcell and 2 generic. Far as comparing to stock? Stock batteries make me sick now. They drain so much faster. The big ones amaze me how long they last. I do rotate the stockers in so they dont sit and go bad. So ill have a few days of extended then stock then extended ect. The performace of extended is so good I now see the big lump as sexy! I did find a great use for my stockers. (have 4) I was in my best friends wedding the other day and with no case and slim battery the phone slid in tux pocket easy lol. +1 but half way through reception I had to drunken walk way out to car and get spare -1. Right now as I set im about to hit 2 days on Trexcell on the newest Jellyverse sitting at 37% +20.
