Has anyone ever tried Mugen extended 1600mAh battery on our phones? I'm thinking of getting on and I want to know if its worth it.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-1600mah-extended-battery-for-samsung-galaxys-i9000.html
Why get a 1600mah when theres a 1650mah by T-Mobile?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Because no one can find the friggin 1650s. Even the post dedicated to them doesn't have more than a dead ebay link for them.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
why get the 1650 when u can get 2800 on amaZON for under 20.00 us?
Well anything higher than 1600mah will cause the phone to get really fat.
I posted link above.
fat battery
I got one of those fat batteries from amazon and it doesn't seem to last that much longer than a standard battery. It also makes the phone look pregnant.
I am using a 3.7VDC 3500mAh Li-ion Battery for my vibrant and it lasts me for 2 days and a half without charge, Of course the battery is a little bulkier then the normal 1500mAh, & it comes with a back Case, its worth the cost and its for only $16 Bucks on ebay. Its worth the money Sweet

I got mine yesterday, but did yours feel like it didn't work at first? Cause I feel like it doesn't work, but I heard its gonna work after a week.

Well actually the battery was working fine when I received it. What you want to do is once you have the battey, deplete it till it fully drains out of power. Then recharge it with the charger they supplied you, don't charge it throu the phone. Once you see its fully charged. Chharge it for at least 1 hour more and u will get the full capacity of the battery. If your vibrant has a good kernel u will be set for 2 days straight. Hope that helps. Am using overstocked kernel

Oh okay, but the one I got only came with a battery and the back case for it, I don't know what you mean by "...charger they supplied you." Do you mean the Vibrant charger?

...he said dont charge it through the phone, which is the only way you can use the vibrant charger so that rules that one out, so by process of elimination and a lil bit of thinking the only option left is his came with a charger for the battery, probably a small dock type deal.
Just gotta think a little not too much to ask
i apologize for the late reply, I should of been more specific with the charger i was talking about. It is a USB/AC Wall charger for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Sprint Epic 4G, AT&T Captivate i897,T-Mobile Vibrant T959. You can view it on ebay, Amazon etc.
Well, because my cappy has such a horrible battery life, im considering buying a second battery and a battery wall charger... My question is, how fast is it supposed to charge if it was a normal charger? Im looking to buy these 2

My question is... Would it charge at the same speed as my phone would charge? (is there a better/faster way to charge it) and is it worth it to spend a bit more money to get a quality battery and battery charger?
Thanks
If you don't mind.your phone being a little thicker you should look into a extended battery I have one and its great go all day and still have over 40% at the end of the night.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
I have the same set as is in the second link. I'll say this, the batteries are as good as the stock one, and great for the price. Also, having the wall charger for battery is very useful. So, that would be the one I recommend!
Also, I had terrible TERRIBLE battery life in the past. I mean, 3 or 4 hours and it was dead. The best thing I have found that helps this, is custom roms. I don't know if you are using one, but you might consider looking into those options if not.
The wall charger for the battery seems to charge the battery a bit faster than just plugging the phone in. It takes 3-4 hours to charge from dead.
i do have a custom rom But the battery life only lasts like 7 hours or so. I was thnking about the extended battery, but it makes the phone thicker, which i have to say id rather avoid. One of the greatest features of the captivate to me is how thin it is .
But yeah, as you said, the battery and charger are good enough Il be purchasing those tomorrow. If anyone has any other ideas, please shoot
edit : how thicker does it get? Is it still thinner than a blackberry storm 2?
I don't know how thick a storm is but it adds a quarter inch to the battery witch sounds like alot but I don’t really notice it when its in my pocket . I also think it makes it alot easier to hold in my opinion plus it only cost 13 dollars at cellularfactory.com witch was cheaper than all the oem batteries I found. I just couldn't carry around two batteries then you have to switch them when one goes dead and you have to charge them both but that's just me.

Isnt this in the accessories subforum? Or was it moved. If it was moved, then sorry :S i shouldve known.
get the wall charger and extra battery. it way better than adding bulk to the captivate. looks absolutely retarded adding an inch to this slim phone.
If your repair center is close just go in and ask for a new battery free of charger. Sometimes they have them in stock sometimes they have to order them and send them to you in 2 days. All depends on the luck of the draw really. I have four batteries from doing it this way.

Ahh, the OEM dock + external charger.
Wanted to get one of those.
Had the same setup as OP's the wall charger that is.
I can say, the non-OEM wall charger doesn't charge that fast.
a few posts down is a mod for the NON oem charger to make the USB charge faster. unfortuanatly you cant make the battery part charge any faster. but it WILL charge faster than you can run out a battery so its good.
for buying OEM batteries, i have been told to avoid the G7 series Samsung batteries. Find the G9 series. i bought one for $18 on ebay from an american seller in new york.

Can't find any G9's over here. Went over to a Samsung retailer.
Got myself 2 instead G7's. Last's kinda shorter than that of the G9.
What's the difference between g7 and g9? Im guessing better battery life. Where do you see what the series is on the battery?

It's at the lower right side of the battery. Near the S/N.
Kinda tiny on the G9.
HUGE on the G7.
My phone came with the G9 battery and seems decent, can't really compare it to anything as it's the only battery I have for now.
After googling the G7 vs G9, it appears that they're region codes. G7 being for Europe and G9 for the US.
yeah, im just going to buy the charger dock and battery off ebay. (the amazon one)
Thanks for all your help guys
Hey guys I just saw a 3500mAh battery for SGS2 on ebay. Is it safe to use such battery? I mean it won't harm the phone, will it? :O
Probably won't harm the phone, no.
I bought a 3500mAh obscurely branded Chinese battery in mid-December. Tried it out for almost two weeks, a bunch of charge/discharge cycles & estimated its real capacity was around 1900mAh. It also used to heat up a lot on recharge (mid-high 40's Celsius, which isn't normal when the phone isn't being used whilst charging).
I took it back, got a refund & bought an original Samsung 2000mAh battery. Hasn't missed a beat, is obviously close to its advertised capacity given I get around 20% more use out of a charge than I do with a 1600mAh battery.
Obviously your mileage may vary if you buy one of these (you might have a better experience than I did), just thought I'd let you know about my experience.

Well i heard that their batteries exploded in their phones......so be careful.....better pay for a better one instead of having a chance to ruin your expensive phone.

I have one of those I got from DealExtreme and it is great. It lasts 2x longer than the original Samsung battery.
I take care not to swap them often, because I am afraid that this action might damage the original cover, eventually breaking it.
Battery Life
I am still using the 1650 mAh battery (stock) for my S2.
I am really facing some battery issues. Its charging almost all day !
Yes I am using 3G all day and WiFi HotSpot too. But use wifi at home. Thats when I get good battery life. Any better way to conserve some battery ?
Any tips might help
Thanks
Got mine a few days ago from eBay and its been fine so far. It last more than 2x the regular battery. Phone does not heat up or anything strange..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
well i an getting with the original battery 24H of usage.
with the 3500mah i am getting 60H of usage... so my 3500 is truly 3500mah!
the language is hebrew.
i use congnition rom 1.51 and siyah kernel.
So, where can I see a trustful review on batteries for SGS2? What is the most extended one?
It's really frustrating that my current stock battery is only enough for 2 hd video view (4-5 hours).
Also, the higher the mAh value the more battery lifetime is, right?
I would really want to buy 3500 mAh, but it costs so little.
And the official Samsung variant that offers the longest lifetime of a battery for SGS2 is this one, maybe Mugen 3500 mAh is the best choice out there?

What is the model name of the battery? Is it being overheated in comparison to stock one?
why should it overheat?
it is lithium ... same same
Yes, it's special lithium from China extracted under full moon and blessed by a thousand virgins
Really now, if it was possible to manufacture a battery having more than double the capacity of the stock battery while taking up the same volume, don't you think the megacorporate Samsung would buy that technology immediately in order to use it themselves ? "Too cheap to be true" is valid even here; most knock-off batteries either are fake ("9999 mAH SUPER EXTRA" sticker over the original rating), or will degrade quickly in time leaving you with a dud.
Since there are already fake electronic components...
... why not fake and cheap batteries too, certainly seems to be a high demand for them.
a. it is not the same volume! in is twice as much as the original.
b. the i9100 has a circuit that allows a slow stable charge rate so i dont think it will damage the battery.
As well as being made of inferior materials, not being subjected to the same QC, not having the fuel gauge chip present in original Samsung batteries, you pretty much get what you pay for.
My advice would be to avoid non-original batteries altogether, and given a 2000mAh original battery will cost around the same as one of these 3000mAh+ batteries with all their problems & poor life, it's a no brainer.
Stick with Samsung batteries.
fuel gauge chip?
i would like to see that chip in an any cellphone battery please.
If you're not aware of/don't know about the fuel gauge chip in original SGS2 batteries, you've probably been living under a rock since the phone was released

there is no chip in the battery that is in charge of the fuel gauge.
furthermore there is no use of recalibrating the battery in out i9100 model.

please... show me that chip! i would like to learn something new about lithium batteries..

So my stock battery just wasn't cutting it as I would get at best nearly 4 hours of on screen time by using every battery saving feature I could think of, and always keeping Wi-Fi and GPS turned off. I ended up buying the Hyperion battery and this thing is s complete beast. Maxing my phone out, higher brightness, leaving GPS and Wi-Fi all on, playing games and watching streaming media, I can eclipse 4 hours of screen on time before I even get down to 60% remaining.
While this is great, it got me thinking that this battery isn't supposed to be more than double the life of the stock battery is it? While I'm certainly not complaining about the Hyperion, I would like to know if there is s better battery it there that would allow me to use the default case cover without making my phone huge and still allow for better battery life than I'm getting? I have two different stock batteries and both are exactly the same.
Are there any better ones out there that don't change the size of the phone?

no , there isnt any other way, if u want ore juice, its gotta be stored somewhere right, unless u double the size , u cant double the battery life. no shortcuts, teh ones that claim so are all fake so dont bother with those.
Its possible. Motorola did it with the RazrMaxx. that tiny phone has a 3300mah battery. I wish some company could look into how they made it that small. i mean if Motorola can do it. samsung should be able to pack at least 4500mah into a similar battery. lol
i read this and it upset me cuz motorola always seemed to be behind on everything and i just never liked anything they put out. the razr maxx doesnt appeal to me but its gay that that it is better in so many different ways.

Pretty sure the battery size is larger than the S3 battery. I think the largest possible capacity they can fit into a original size S3 battery is around 2500mAH.
I'm not looking to match my Hyperion with a thin battery. I'm looking for a compromise. Something that'll fit with the normal back but will do better than the stock battery.

The Razr Maxx battery isn't that small. It is simply longer and a bit skinnier than the GS3 battery. Samsung could have done it with a slightly different design of how the battery fits in the back of the phone.
OP: After properly calibrating my Hyperion battery, I religiously get Just over 3 days of usage. I like my Hyperion battery.

Let me know what you find out, ive been skeptical of getting the hyperion and anker 2200 or even the mugen 2300 cuz im not positive if just a 100-200mah increase is gonna make that much of a difference.
Mugens website shows good reviews on the 2300 but the customers dont really have any stats to back up the claims in their reviews

battery technology just needs a major overhaul... they keep putting bigger displays, more processing power and still using similar battery capacity from the past 10 years or so..
read this article: We need better battery life and more storage space before 1080p displays arrive
Motorola is one of few companies that see battery capacity important.. still, they need to make them smaller and more power, making them bigger isn't the solution..

Flash a rom with Fast Charge embedded. Aokp and a few other aosp roms have this built in and it works really well. You can get a full charge in a fraction of the time it normally takes.

that is not what fast charge is. all fast charge is, is allowing the phone to take as many amps as possible from a PC connection. when using AC power (or good car chargers) nothing changes.
also, BTW, the faster you charge the battery, the less life it has. (as in in you will need to replace it sooner.)
Fyi, I have 2 Anker batteries. They're nothing special. They're on par with stock, just no NFC, but cheap. I rotate through all 3 batteries regularly and can never tell the difference.
Imho, this is really the best you can expect with a battery with the same physical dimensions as stock.

Any good news on testing the Hyperion, anker or mugen ?
A 3200mah pack can be the same size as a 2100mah..
There are a few things that come into play:
- The actual case thickness of the pack
- the cell count inside.
Internally we dont know how many cells make up a stock 2100 pack. Could be a single 3.7volt cell @ 2100mah or could be 2x 3.7volt cells @ 1100mah each(wired in parallel)... the 3200 could be one single cell.
So a 3200mah lipo verywell could fit, and perhaps it just a hair thicker but still fits..
hi guys. I s there any case compatible with mugen power battery. can someone help me to find it ?
UP!
up. still couldn't find it.
Bump up! Also interested =)
My educated guess would be the Seidio Extended battery case. I'm using a 4000mAh Ezopower battery on my phone with this case. I bought a cheap replacement back and dremmeled it out to fit the battery. Then got the Seidio case and it fits perfectly. Even if there was a slight increase in size, I'm sure it would still fit. It fits perfectly and other than the increased thickness, it looks nice.
On a personal note, I would avoid Mugen, but that's just me. You can get the same batteries for much cheaper. I got a Mugen battery for my last phone and had problems right from the start. They dropped me like a hot rock, never helped me, never cared or responded to any of my requests for help. I got my current battery off Amazon because I know they'll help me if I have problems.

Idk, I mean it's a third party battery (mind you I don't know a lot about electricity)...I think it's only right for me to think ahead of time if I need a special charger for that extended battery.
Edit: sorry forgot to mention on mobilefun.co.uk (they sell the mugen battery. Going to buy it through Amazon but I initially found it there) they said the factory charger should work but it might take a while to charge (in which I responded asking if they sold a special charger more suited to charging such a heavy-duty battery). Have yet to hear back from them.

The reason it "takes a while" to charge is because it's a higher capacity battery and it needs more time to fill than your stock lower capacity one. There is no need to buy another charger unless you just want a spare to keep at work or something.
