Hello
Anyone knows it "Mugen Battery's for Samsung" have battery's fits our SGW?
I was looking for something like 1800/2000 or more, as long as i don't need to change the battery cover.
"mugen-power-batteries.com/samsung"
They have 1600, 1700, 1800, 2000 for Samsung but i don't know if they work in our phone.
If you have other suggestions please share ;D

Yes, I can give you all my feedback, I'll report back when I've used it long enough to tell.
But so far, so good.

Hey Vyker,
i read somewhere in the forum that "ultra cheap" chinese battery ar actually fakes..
They have a sticker for 1900mah and they are really 1000mah...
How long have you being using that? can you put a pic with your best graph of the battery usage?
Ok guys,
So then this supposed 1900mah battery. I've noticed a clear difference in battery life since I put it in.
Here are some battery screen shots

}
And the chart...
These were taken at 45%.
I've used the phone as much as I would on any normal day.
Charging is fine and standard not faster not slower.
I don't expect to be lied to about what is actually in the battery when buying, so I have to take it for granted that the battery is in fact 1900mah. Though I do understand that there is a chance the battery is a fake. At £8 it's a no brainer.
All in all, I recommend the battery.

:S that's not very good...
Not very good at all...
But yet look at this...
notice what's different...
I left the wifi on all day and got much better battery...
Has anyone else noticed that staying connected to a wifi network extends the battery?

I can imagine this might be the case if you spend most of your time in a location that has a good wireless signal but a crappy mobile data signal => with wireless enabled, the 3G radio won't keep wasting battery life by trying to connect.
Similarly, if you leave wireless enabled when you're not connected to a wireless network, it will drain your battery because it keeps scanning all the time in the background.
That's my understanding anyway...
I can relate to the concept, it's my understanding too
Any how with 36% still left to go this is what the chart looks like now...
Staggering difference between the two days....
Id still recommend this battery however.... I get more than I did on stock
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA App
My battery (Stock) is doing around 2 days.
I don't play that much, an i have almost everything off during the night (sleep time).
i think that wireless is a big battery killer if you have it enable but not connected.
If its connected (not searching) doesn't make a big difference on the overall consumption.
On the first night of my battery cycle,
i have around 15 to 16 hours and around 62% left
on the next morning i have 3% to 5% less so i do a full day (24h) on around 55%
i end up on 15% to 10% on the following night (1 day, 16 hours) and around 5% to 7% on the next morning (2 days)
I think it all depends on what you do and what you have on... overall i think the stock is ok, but i would prefer having one a bit bigger (1800 +)
Anyway ty for the input m8
Oxyfly, sounds like you may not use the phone as much as others.
The battery I bought is not the one in the topic title - to confuse matters
It is a 1900mah battery.

Just to inform you guys...
I contacted with Mugen Power Batteries and asked if 1700mAh Extended Battery for Exhibit II 4G battery was compatible Galaxy W, they replied me and confirmed its compatiblity with our phones...
(http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...amsung-gravity-smart-samsung-focus-flash.html)
I bought 2 anker batteries (1500) + charger for 18$ ! (and not 45$...)
Does it really worth so much money just for the extra 13%??
Of course cheaper alternatives are available but i'm not sure if Anker batteries (or "made in China" batteries) are reliable

Also the YOOBAO workshop ,The Chinese manufacturer.They claim this battery will last 90% longer than the original. Oh and the battery is also 90% bigger than the original so they supply the customised back battery cover.

I'd rather buy another phone with higher cap battery I bought elf for it's size. If they manage to fit a high cap battery in the same case that would be more attractive to me
I have such a contraption for my universal. I wouldnt buy one for my touch, unless is has a the same form factor as the original.

Well if it is 90% larger then I expect it to last 90% longer or so.
I think extended batteries are the ugliest add-on to a phone.
Lol... i´ve seen a back-up battery (1100 mAh) from this manufacturer (got the same label) on ebay a couple of days before. Selling price was 1,99 Euro (!!!) without shipping.
And now tell me, what quality you can expect for a price like this? Maybe you should order a fire extinguisher too .

How close is this picture?
The new CDMA Touch will have a more powerful battery to handle the 400 mhz and 3G (1150 mAh vs 1100 mAh). If they are the same size then I will buy one of those batteries and stick it in my current Touch.
Yep. Seems to be the better idea, if 50 mAh makes the difference.
Rather buy a spare than have that hump on the back. So far I've been pleasantly surprised with the life I've been getting out of the Touch.
Or you can try this:
http://www.proporta.fr/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=2725&t_mode=des
Really cool, and you can charge your device and other like iPhone, etc. it's bigger than a spare battery, but also lasts longer, you can take this and your phone and it'll hold a week maybe
Damn, I wish I could use photoshop.
This thread is crying out for a good picture of a touch with a car battery coming out the back.

you guys are wonderful, I am going nuts here,
*biggest_loool_ever*
well, i give then kudos for trying at least but that sharp step on the back of my touch to accommodate the bigger battery is not exactly what i would want .
If i am working long periods on my touch i just plug it into the mains and use it while its charging for now until at better battery (with same size) come out on the market, its just a matter of time.
Andida Battery it kills my beloved SGS2. Guys Please be careful and do not buy this battery
I was happy today when, I received Andida Battery. I took out my back cover and I installed the battery. I tried to turn on my phone but it did not start. So I taught that the battery must be empty, so I plugged my charger to charge the battery. But it failed to charge. I installed original Samsung battery back, but the phone did not start at all. I was so facking annoyed. I went to Samsung Service Center, I told them my phone suddenly stopped working, without mentioning the cause of damage. They checked the phone, it took them two hours, then the technician called me and he said that the battery sensor indicator chip is damaged in the main-board and need to be replaced. He said they will order the part from Korea and it will take around 2 weeks to arrival at least. I was happy that they will fix my phone under warranty.
Edited :- Real photo of the Andida Battery 2000mAh uploaded. I was so upset and not in mood to take a photo of Andida Battery I own. I google it fast and attached it on my post that why in the photo it stated 1450 mA and For Oppo a100.

OH Man. Seem like this battery does coz hardware damage in most SGS2 when installed. I think battery sensor indicator chip is actually the chip which indicate battery status level. thats why your battery stats get screwed up.
Why do you say is an 2000mA battery when on the blister clearly states that's a 1450 mA one (even less than the original). ?
I don't get it. I only see "For Oppo a100" from the pic. Is there state anywhere its for I9100?
And the Chinese in one of the label stated the battery is insured, maybe U can claim them some money.

I really hope it doesn't spoil my phone though... I rooted it so chances are there's no warranty if I bring to the CSC. I don't really use the Andida battery often anyway. It simply serves as a backup.

Hi,
I had the same issue with mine but i hotswapped that batteries around. i.e. andida to samsung back to andida and it started to work again.
at the moment i have the andida one in my phone but try swapping it around and see if there is any issues.
Q) would your phone still be covered if my phone was rooted with custom rom?
PS: and i bought two of these one for me and one for my nephew.

thx for reminding, but i prefer to buy a external charger rather than an extra battery

hi there the spider-foot battery is safe. been using it as my main battery and no problems or whatsoever since 3 weeks ago
Have been using this battery for awhile. No major issue with it. Just that while stating 2000mAH, it's not really performing better than the stock battery. Worse performing actually.
Avg after a day's use ( light usage ), the Andida's remained only abt 50%-60% juice, while the stock can still retain abt 80%.
Another quirk for Andida, after charging to 100%, when I pulled out from the charger, it'll occasionally drop to 97% immediately.
Well, can't expect it to be better since it's so cheap anyway. At least it didn't blew up on me lolz. Nevertheless, had been using the stock battery since it performed better. This Andida is just a backup for me now.
Btw, TS, just curious, did u pull out the thin film that covers the metallic contact points? I read that some pple forgot to remove this film, and they thought the battery is a lemon =p.
the only one i can rely on is the original samsung extended battery (2000mAh). It's a little bit fatter (1mm more) but great!

Post some results.
Is the 2300 a Galaxy S II battery? That's what I'm seeing in some goog searches. Looks like their replacement for ours is 1850. But if it fits, hey.
Lucky you, i had to stick a piece of paper on the top left of my battery pocket in my phone in order for the contacts to align.
There's actually a thread about this battery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445938
So far I'm getting a little over 24 hours with little-moderate use on ICS passion.
In the wide majority of test I've seen of Andida batteries, they always add somewhere between 30-50% of their actual capacity. In short, just about every third party manufacturer overrates their batteries and only the OEM numbers are accurate

I have the same with the Andida 2300 battery and my Vibrant. I cut some of the envelope it came in, doubled it over and put it along the side of my battery. A snug fit, for sure... but its working great. Worth the $20 imho.
only on second charge and getting over 14 hrs and still at 50%

Apparently some people can't get the contacts to line up correctly and the battery doesn't work out for them.. so it might be a gamble for you.
1800/1500 = 20% increase
2300/1500 = 53% increase
I'm pleased with the batteries performance and understanding of the issues related to fitment. For $20...it was well worth it to me. My phone can stay away from the charger throughout the day.

I understand on paper it should be a 53% increase compared to the stock battery, but is it showing a 50% in reality? I know samsung batteries are legit and should be close to the labeled mah rating. I don't know a thing about andida. I just don't to end up with a battery that might not even fit and is only really putting out like 1900mah.
This is a huge improvement for me. My phone used to be dead after 10 hours unplugged.
Another oddity since putting in this battery, my GPS started to work and lock on again... maybe the pressure it puts onto the phone helped the contact...weird positive side effect for me (I've not bothered to do the GPS contact fixes yet)
Sorry I don't have the fancy Battery stats screens that others seem to have :\
My 2300 andida is running about 14 hours as well. I can get through most of the day without thinking about my charger.
I'm on ics one comsics rc3.1 and I get more than 36 hours on light use, more than 24 hours on moderate use and like eight hours on real heavy use. My heavy usage usually involved full account sync and surfing the web on the mobile network non stop with screen on 75-90% of the time.

Even of the contacts don't fit, you can put paper on the top left corner of the battery socket. And somehow, the battery doesnt need the paper later on. I think the battery gets "used" to the battery socket...

Good thing is, same size like original battery because i dont like the look and feel with the 3000+ mAh batteries.

After 3,5 hours of use (some Wifi/phonecalls) still on 100%!!! No way with stock LG battery... nice one.
Edit: 5,5 hours... still on 100%, more than weird but i like it!
That can't be possible. Reboot the phone and see if it shows you a true battery percentage.

I've read those are pretty good for use, typically better than stock batteries, but that they tend to drain a little more quickly when the phone's in standby than stock batteries. Regardless, I bought a couple. They're cheap enough, I'll give it a whirl =) worst case scenario, a couple extra backup batteries for me!

I thought so too, first guess was that i had to clean battery stats. After that it wasn't on 100%. But still at 89% now, after more than 7 hours with wifi on... movie on highest brightness and whatever.
Let's see if the performance will last, saw a lot of chinese products starting nice but in the end... :cyclops:

Have you actually put the battery through a few full charge-discharge cycles? Without putting it through a few days of use first, it is not really possible to tell how the battery performs compared to the stock battery.
It seems fishy that this battery is the same size as the stock 1800 mAh battery, but has a 30% increase in capacity...

I will try a few days and let you know. The battery weights more than the stock one. My wife's Lenovo phone have also 2300mAh tiny battery.

been looking for something like this for a while. Should be great if you could give us a complete review & comparison. Thanks
I did not have much time the last days, here a short update.
Battery meter shows 100% for a long time, after some reboots it will go down to 90% but no change in battery meter if i dont do a reboot. Later the phone will shot down without any warning.
I will try to fully drain the battery and charge it in my phone with stock LG charger, see how this works out. I charged it with the 3rd party charger, that comes with the battery.
Also no success with battery calibration (because it won't charge if meter shows 100%) and clean battery stats in CWM.
Hi Cromson, can you test the battery calibration with Stock ICS, thanks!
To me, a battery that can't actually report its battery level (and has a questionable third party mAH claim) isn't worth ANY amount of money.
Just buy a second OEM BL-49KH battery and swap them out if you are concerned about extra bulk, and if you aren't get a Hyperion "3800" mAH battery.

Battery level is there, after some full cycle's (draining/loading) in the phone. Definitly better than stock battery, approx. 3-4 hours more time.

The fact that it cannot actually report battery level is highly suspicious. The Hyperion 3800mAh has no problems reporting accurate battery level.
So are there any other alternatives to fix the battery life? It's really horrible...what roms are you guys using?
I plan on buying this battery from ebay on Friday

Battery 飞普斯 (Feipusi) 2300mAh Li-ion for P930/LU6200/SU640
Just bought one of these on chinese Taobao.com and it really improve batterylife! Also good quality, not crappy and without the feeling that it may blow up someday.
Good thing is, same size like original battery because i dont like the look and feel with the 3000+ mAh batteries.

I just bought this battery. I'll wipe the battery stats as soon as I get it and charge it to a 100%. How long did it take it to arrive for you? I live in the US
Battery seems to be draining slightly faster than stock for me... not sure why. On cm9 w/ ho!no! v5 kernel. The better feels a little better than the 1900mhz batteries from ebay i've tried. phone just sucks w/ battery life...
Woot woot! My battery just came in the mail today - Charging it to 100% as I type now
A few weeks ago I purchased one of these Polarcell 2700mAh batteries.
It took a few cycles but now the battery life is amazing. Yesterday I had been texting and chatting on skype pretty much all day and I was surprised my battery wasn't empty yet so I went into the settings to check my screen on time.
My screen brightness was on auto and I don't have any apps like noled that keep the screen technically on but don't consume a lot of battery. All I did was use Skype and Gosmspro.
So if anyone is looking for a replacement battery, I can recommend the Polarcell 2700mAh..
Bravo. Although a stock battery can be as good as new.

Just bought one today for my galaxy s3 , i was confused about which battery to buy and how it would act.. I just saw your post now, so i feel that I did a good discussion :good:
screen shot
Could you please post screen shot of your About Phone with details of Rom/Kernel you're on? Thanks
Does it lose its charge in the next few weeks?
are these batteries the same dimension as the stock one? I mean, do I have to use a different back cover(bulky phone)?
@Octhellio which rom and kernel do you use ?
Been using a polarcell 2700 for a few months - and no matter what rom/kernel(both TW based or CM/PA/AOKP) I have been using - it holds its charge extremely well Worth the $$$
Great topic!
Do you know if the PolarCell is better than the MoTec?

I have search for reviews of Polarcell batteries, and found several happy users in many others phones.
So I bought two units on Ebay, one for my phone and one for my wife's phone.
I think it should be much better than these batteries from China...
Well, at least this seems to be made in Germany.

Are you using an AOSP based ROM or TW based? That's quite impressive is AOSP. I have 3 batteries and have my cellular signal off with brightness often at the lowest and get 4.5h maximum (batteries not too old).
Your android system usage is a lot lower than mine, what were you using it for?
Can you please weigh it compared to the standard battery?

estimate date to delivery?
A few minutes ago I purchased it too, delivery is scheduled between the 23rd and the 26th of this month: D
I'm charging the battery! How many hours must be under load?
After 42 days, finally my batteries has come! (It´s sadly live in Brazil because of dollar conversion and time to receive Ebay things)
I put it on my phone and tried to use the 58% of charge that is inside.
I played 3 games and really feel that the battery discharge much more slower than my older one.
After 2h18m of screen time, it has 28% left!
I used 2h18m games/internet/youtube and it only discharge 30% (it´s a record on my phone)
Buuuuuuuuuuuut, it´s only the first impression...
Today I will fully charge the phone and do some tests...
I come back soon with my impressions.
Best regards
