Bought it for $20 on Amazon just to see how long those extended batteries last. Here's the first 100% to 5% run since I've received the battery 2 days ago.

As you've probably noticed, I use the phone more as a portable computer/gps/media-player than an actual phone so that's why screen-on time is quite low. No need to have display on when jamming music So yeah, personally I wouldn't use this as my daily driver since the battery bulge looks and feels horrid but I guess for some people the great battery life and the $20 price tag will be a fair trade.
Enjoy!
any pics????????
Didn't see a need to take them. Just search Google or XDA and you'll find more pics that you'll ever need ;-)
I can but i would like to see a hyperion battery lol

Hello boyz...
On my HD2 i have an extended battery where the cover has a built-in kick-stand. I really love the kick-stand... use it all the time.
Anyone knows if this will be available on the SGSII??
For that matter... does this exist on ANY other phone besides the HD2??
Mobilefun do an extended battery case, but no kickstand

Yeah, I'd have to pass on that case...
I'd rather swap batteries out than use that.
I saw this on Clove and i think you might like it

this is relevant to my interests, i would like to see something with more juice.. 1600mAh or more
I think I'll just rely on my trusty PowerMonkey if I need extra charge. Spare battery and desk stand will be cheaper than the extended battery case. The phone is big enough as it is
you may not need a extended battery. wait and see how it lasts first.
to get a kick stand cover look here
Anyone still looking?
Found this on ebay if anyone is still unable to find one/ google it... (though it doesn't show up on a search...)

i ran battery cal once it had had a decent charge so now to see how it goes.
feel free to add any helpful comments
Try the clibration after at least 3 complete charge and discharge cycle to obtain a stable result for a new battery...
That's ugly!
Hahahaha!

can you tell us more about what you did during your use of the battery. i can get like 40hrs of standby out of my stock battery with a kernel flashed. but more like 24 hours with 3 hours of screen time
Well i started the day at the golf course so i didn't use it very much, then i got home and played a bunch of youtube videos, a few movies on it, browsing, and a few calls, i was actually trying o run down the battery to try and get a full charge tonight, also that was with bluetooth/wifi on all day.
So... I bought a cheap "extended" battery for my glorified wifi hotspot and I plug it in and this is what it says. I found it funny, so I thought I would share.
I'll report on battery life as I go through the first few charging cycles
I use my OV for Pandora and as a wifi hot spot at work. So take my numbers with a grain of salt.
For 10 bucks, if it even does an hour over my stock battery, I'll be happy. I planned on using both anyway.
If the battery life is fantastic, I'll be buying another one, and an external charger. If anyone has a recommendation on a external charger, that'd be awesome. Preferably one thay is universal so I can charge all my extra batteries with it. (Note 2 stock, Rezound extended, Rezound stock, misc camera batteries)
My friend is giving me his Rezound and says that it has a hard time charging, so I figured an external charger would be best until I ca diagnose the problem and fix it.

I'm looking for a quality external battery charger for my E4GT
I have some cheap-o one that looks like it was made in China and it take 16 hours or so to get a full charge on it. Anyone have any suggestions or can point me to one that doesn't take all day to charge? I need it because the guy who repaired the charging port once pretty much destroyed the contacts to the mainboard, so it is now irreparable. I don't think Sprint would cover under the TEP since it has been opened (I had it repaired once when it wasn't covered under the TEP).
If you are looking for a great battery charger, check out Anker battery expert. It has worked very well. I found it online for about $15.

Edit: I have been using this charger nearly every day since September 2013. I use 2 batteries, and alternate between them. My phone won't charge by usb after flying off the dash of vehicle while pluged in.
