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

GTMax 3500 mAh battery - Poor battery life still

I was wondering how many people got these on sale(12 bucks on amazon) and what results they got.
Ive had mine through a couple charge cycles now and im not impressed at all, doesnt feel like its doubled my battery life.
Im at 80% after 2 hours, with only 16 minutes of screen on time. This might actually be worse than stock. The battery summary doesnt show any major drain from apps, and go launchers running app list doesnt show anything out of the ordinary either.
Im running Faux 0.9/Juggernaut 4.1/Litening theme
Im not sure what else I can do, battery is draining ridiculously fat.

It could be just be a defective one. Some custom roms dont recognize the batter stats properly as well. Try exchanging the battery for a new one and also try a different rom. Also try Wipe Battery Stats in clockworkmod recovery.

Hmm, thats kinda scary, would reflashing a rom from scratch fix that?
Also, google has stated wiping stats does nothing, thats a recent development.
As for exchanging, its from amazon, it took 3 weeks to ship this one to me lol.
It might be defective, it did take 9 hours to charge. 3500/650 should be ~ 5.3 hours, but maybe this is why it was on sale for 12 bucks.

Yes, the myth was that wiping battery stats improves the overall battery life but I was not saying this in hopes of improving it. I was just saying to see if it will correctly display how much battery life you have on your rom because one time I had a problem where my battery life stayed at 100% and after wiping it it correctly displayed how much I had left.
If it takes 9 hours to charge then I think its very likely that you do have a defective one. Rechargeble batteries tend to show that kind of symptom when you charge it often without letting it drain first. Try completely draining your battery below 10% and fully charge without stopping (dont pull the plug). If the battery life is still the same and it still takes around 9 hours to charge then I think its safe to say you do you have a defective one.
Also, please double check that the particular battery that you have is compatible with SGS2 Hercules model. Look at the battery information and compare it to the stock one. Make sure the voltages match.

I flashed Mr X's kernel, since Faux has been off since 0.07 for me.
When i charged it last night, it was from 0%, and it took around 3 hours to reach 34%, so im estimating the 9 hours based on that.
The stickers on it say 'Replacement for Hercules T989' Li-Ion 3.7v, i dont have my stock battery atm so i cant see if its the same, ill check that later.

I find it faster to charge using the usb plug converter instead of off the laptop using the usb cable. If I were you, I'd just use the stock battery until the new one ships in. I believe that's your best bet.

I may not even seek a replacement. It was 12 bucks, shipping would cost half the cost of the battery, and it would take them 3-4 weeks to ship another. The original order took 3.5 weeks to be delivered.

Well then, they shouldnt sell it in the first place. Now I'm wondering what kind of reviews it got on that site.

Peal off the cover of the battery. It should say how big the battery actually is. I highly doubt its 3500. But you never know

I was about to say this. You more or less likely got a fake Chinese battery that claims it's "..." mAh, but in reality it's significantly less. I've seen this happen too many times on the EVO 3D forums.

Theres no label, the writing is printed on.

This is it here.

Here is one of the reviews: Looks like the same story as yours.
2.0 out of 5 stars Lasts same as the original, January 19, 2012
By Sunny - See all my reviewsThis review is from: GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh) for Samsung T-Mobile Hercules SGH-T989 (Package include a Neck Strap) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I was excited to get this battery thinking that it would atleast give me one and half times more backup than the original. However, the backup i'm getting is not any better than the original battery. I will see for a couple of more days and if it is still same, i'll move back to the original battery and keep this one as back up. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews
Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Report abuse

Most cheaper priced batteries out there engage in false advertising. Don't believe the mah numbers you see even if they are the same as the stock oem battery. Its cheap for a reason just like the fake micro sd/flash drives for sale at Ebay. There are also shady vendors in Amazon who pump up their own ratings by leaving positive reviews especially the "ProdiCell" cell phone battery brand. With the exception of Seido and Muge, I would only stick with Samsung oem batteries. The Samsung Nexus extended oem 2100 mah battery is really good for $24.99 (50% off 49.99 at the Verizon store). I do see the extra 14% life. I went 34 hours the other day on stock 2.3.6 before my phone died. I actually ran 30mins of video at the end to run out the charge.

Ill try this out with synergy, since faux i heard was a drainer, and if no luck ill stick my stock battery in and continue to use my ballistic case. Ill also give it one more day.
Never tried an alternative battery till this one, and if im gonna go bulky again ill get that 3900 mah mugen, since that appears to be the real deal.

Best battery upgrade

Hi,
I would like to know what is the best battery upgrade. Sometimes i need to use my phone for geocashing for more than two days and it is very boring trying to find time for waiting for charging. So I'm looking for best solution like extended battery or something like that. Size is not important for me, but i want something quality. Can you help me please ?
Thanks

Since size isnt a problem, id say.. get the Mugen 3200mah battery.
The quality is good and it has almost twice the capacity of the original.

Official samsung 2000 mah is pretty good. I get about 30% more usage on a full charge.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649119

I bought a 9.99 3000mah battery from Ebay. Cut a hole in the back of my cover so it would fit. Anyway I'm getting over 36 hours between charge with moderate use. Atm I'm on 55% battery and I'm on 18 hours 16min. Data on. Sync on. half brightness

Sedio

or you could make your own Samsung extended battery if your handy.

you should give us a bit more info on your preference to help you better. if you dont mind changing batteries out throughout the day you could just grab a 2nd OEM Samsung batt and be good?
or if you want the best slim battery? etc...

So Mugen Power is the best, Right ?

Do you want a slim battery or and extended battery?

has anyone checked out the 3250 mah battery? just search "3250 samsung galaxy s3" on ebay. sorry i can't post links atm. It doesnt come with a battery door cover so i don't think it will add any bulk

Hey over there,
I've tested Mugen, Seidio, Acase, qCell, and many, many more on the original Galaxy S (Epic for Sprint,) the Fascinate (Galaxy S for Verizon,) Epic Touch 4g (Galaxy S2 for Sprint,) and have been toying around with the S3 for Sprint and some friends' phones for about a month.
I'd say you have really two choices... drop the big money and buy ONE Mugen or Seidio, or just buy a couple qCell batteries. Of the five/six qCells I have used and/or tested on my friends' phones, I'd have to say that only one varied in charge capacity from 10-20% of the advertised charge capacity (4200mAH)... and that was after two months of usage that was inconsistent.
For $20 and standard Amazon Prime shipping, I'd just buy two qCells and call it a day. Even after a month of daily or every-other-day full charging, I have not noticed a "memory effect," (yes, Lithium Ion batteries have a memory effect and anybody who tells you otherwise can't spell "hysteresis").
Why buy two? First off, you're going to NEED TWO if you do deep fieldwork in urban environments like I do. There are some nights where I'm sleeping in a gutter in the middle of no where and have to have my phone on 4G to upload ethnographic observations. There are some days I will *not* have access to an electrical outlet, have to use 4G, data transfer, TeleNav, Google Maps, video capture software, sketching software, and a bunch of other *&#^ at the same time, and if you think for a SECOND that having two standard batteries is going to be enough, then you're insane. You need at *least* one, 4000mAH battery with a modern smart phone if you're going to be using these services HARD ALL DAY, and easily two after you've broken the batteries in for a few months.
(Ever try running from a crackhead in the South end of Chicago while changing your battery since you need to dial your primary investigator and tell him that you may not make it back to publish your thesis due to a massive stab wound? Yeah, that's what I thought).
Also, as a word of caution... remember... a lithium ion battery is like a horse's stomach:
1. It needs to be filled often.
2. It needs to be emptied often.
3. If it's used hard (aka extremely warm,) you need to give it a little break (let it cool down ~10 degrees F) before filling it again.
4. When you get a new one, always remember to establish a consistent feeding pattern for a while, (aka always completely empty and completely fill a new battery 10-20 times before you start charging it while half full or while the phone is on).
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN

How much "screen on time" are you getting on that Rom? Screen on time is what matters. Anybody can make their phone last 20 hours with the way the usage & functions are being managed.

I prefer the stock battery, I personally don't like the larger battery because I bought my S3 for the slimness.

I'm running stock battery and cm10 milestone 1 and average well over 4 hours of screen time!

I use it and its great! Makes the phone a little heavy but its about the same size as an Otterbox case.
Good: About 3 days battery life.
Bad: No NFC (was almost a deal breaker for me) Will hurt if you want to throw it at someone.

Did you make sure that the nfc chip worked? There are some back covers/nfc chips being sold online which are fake and don't actually work.

Yes

Bluemgt06, despite the NFC all the rest is that good so? What´s the price?

Long battery, but extremely heavy.
Not worth it in my opinion.

So.. someone says is good and someone says it's not worth to buy.
So I came up with a new question, better buy zerolemon or better buy an external batterie like ANKER?

Mate..ive recently bought ravpower extended battery. Its 6200mah and $20 on amazon. It comes with a back cover and I see it has nfc in it too. But am not too sure koz I dont use nfc. Ive posted pics in accesories section. Check it out! Till now am really satisfy. Only drawback is that it takes very long to charge..about 4h from 0 to 100. And also I feel the extended back cover makes it more handy. Feels nice in hand.

I've been using the ZeroLemon battery for about 5 months now and i do not regret spending 60 dollars on a battery case. the 6 hour batter life that I used to get on this phone extended to 6 days. However, you do have to charge the phone for like 12 hours (someone on this forum got an ENTIRE WEEK of battery life by charging the case 12 hours more than whats recommended, thats a WHOPPING 24 HOURS of charging).
