No that is terrible advice. Charge cycling Li-Ion batteries destroy them, not increase battery life.
@OP: The only thing you need to do is make sure you let the phone charge for 7-8 hours after you put in the battery. After that, no conditioning is required. However, if at a later date you notice your Vibrant is not properly reading the battery (i.e. it goes from 100->90 really quickly, but goes from 90->80 more slowly, etc.), you will need to calibrate the battery to your device by completely draining the battery and charging it. Take note that this charge cycle will not increase battery life -- it will only make your Vibrant read the battery properly.
BTW Would it be possible for you to take picture of how much fatter the battery makes your phone?
Where did you buy this battery from? Looking to get my hands on a good one.

+1 I would like to know this as well
Vibrant BiONYX 3.1/ brama
I got it from ebay and it fits perfect. If you have patience you can order through the seller below. Im in north florida and it took almost 3wks to get to me. Theres also another seller from US but he wants $30 for the exact same battery. He claims that the batteries from china are crap, he is lying. This is the seller he orders them from.

Greatest investment ever. I might be able to take pictures tomorrow. Currently my battery is at 40% and have been running for 1day 3hr 17mins as of this post. And an app im using batteryleft from Eugenes r11 stats time left is 11hrs.
Under battery use through the settings. Displays at 60%, Voice calls at 40%, Cell Stand by is at 20% Phone idle at 5%, and I made a mistake leaving wifi on all day.
Size is really a personal preference. I adds the needed weight to the phone, and makes it extremely easy to hold. The Vibrant with original cover/battery would slip out of my hands when it was naked and the rubberize battery cover solves that.
I use my phone for music in my car and at work through default music app/slacker/pandora and now I can lay my phone on its back and the speaker is not blocked.
Ive had all my friends, coworkers etc look/hold it and they all like the way it feels and that it fits perfectly in your hand. All in all, im someone who is always playing with my phone and now I getting a little more then double the battery life.
My usually day:
20+ 5min phone calls
Playing angry birds throughout the day
20+emails
15-20txt
web surfing/tapatalk/xda app
watch some youtube
listen to music at work/car 3-4hrs
wasnt connected by wifi was on for most of the day
My Main reason for getting the extended battery-3g on ALLDAY
extended battery+r11 great battery life.
pictures, sorry there from my girls iphone4. Bic lighter for size comparison. Most people who consider phones bricks feel like moto razr to me. Not for folks that wear skinny jeans lol. BUt as big as it looks its truly not that bad. I will probably buy an extended battery with every future phone I buy. I was one who always thought ext batteries were ugly but now I am a believer.
If you dont have the patience, this is the same battery but always us sellers have to make a profit. He orders from guy above. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130448289815&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT
Is this safe to use?

I dont have the exact time but not really long. Since I can go a good 2days now inbetween charges. Whenever I do charge its usually overnight.
now I'm tempting to buy this, only thing that's keeping me is the processor might be cooked becuase of the temperature.

yessir, im using unlocked Tmobile vibrant on att.
Seems like all of a sudden my battery charges abnormally slow. I turned my phone completely off and only increased 5% in 30 minutes. The battery actually drains even when plugged up when I'm using it. This never happened before. Recently, before these charging problems arose, my battery died while talking on the phone. So i switched my battery with a another battery in a verizon galaxy s3 (my mom's). And i put the dead battery in her phone. I was going out and didn't have time to charge my battery. The next day i switched the batteries back. Would this have anything to do with the charging probelms?
I have the exact same problem. Take forever to charge and drain when using it while charging. I order a new oem battery from ebay and will see how it goes.

Tried factory reset...didn't work. Couldn't try battery calibration yet since my battery has to be at 100%. I tried switching the cord, outlet and adapter and now its charging 5% in 10 minutes. Hopefully the problem has to do with one of those!
Yea try changing your cord. That seemed to have fixed my problem!

Using 3rd party charger shouldn't slow down your charge unless it doesn't give 1A
I switch back to oem charger and it charge faster than the 3rd party cable I been using for 1mnt. And it charge while I'm using it

For those that are experiencing slow charging, try this. Download Battery Monitor Widget from the playstore. In the settings go to calibration. There is an option for USB fast charge and it has worked on every rom I have tried.
The cable is usually the culprit, but I thought I would share this info also.
I've heard that fast charging diminishes your batteries life by half though.

Hey guys. Im just wan to know how much battery use other phones with screen on and using 4g data conection (no wifi). Mines use 1% per 3 minutes of constantly use. A remember b4 it used 1% per 5-6 minutes. Can someone help me knowing others results ro compare?
Is thath consiume of battery is normal?

I can generally browse for "a few" hours on 4G without needing to plug in. I don't pay much attention to specifics as unlike the Note 1, the Note 2 isn't very limiting for me. The Note 1 was awful for needing a micro-reactor in your pocket almost. Do you keep your battery over 90% charge often? It's possible it's getting weaker as it gets older. You can order a replacement battery cheap enough and see. They also usually come with an external charger so you could just swap batteries and go. I do that on long road trips.
Is true the replacement battery maybe hurt the phone bcse they have diferent voltage? I heard that from some guy in yhe shop.

If you get a real Samsung battery I'd think not. Make sure the voltage matches. I can't remember, is the S3 3.7V or 3.8V? I got an Anker extended battery and it improved the battery life immensely.

It depends on many different factors not just screen on and 4g on. 1% per 3 minutes equates to 300 minutes or 5 hours. I have drained my battery completely in 4 +/- hours time. It's completely normal as I have other phones to compare it with. I have another note 2, 2 galaxy s3, iPhone 4s,5s that I have tested against and they provide worse battery life in same situation.
Not all these phones are mine. I just swap it with family/friend members to test out for a day or two.
For batteries I recommend Anker. I have 2 Ankers for my note 2 and 3 Ankers for my galaxy s3.

Since I use my N2 as my laptop replacement and am on it all day, battery life was a problem for me from the beginning. I found Battery Drain Analyzer helpful. I kept it running for a couple of months and was able to determine which apps consume the most power (widgets, by far). But, after having spent hours trying different underclocking configurations without much success as far as saving a lot of power, I ended up buying three extra OEM batteries. It's really awesome to not have to worry about it. I just keep them in my pocket and swap them out as needed. It's not a very technologically advanced solution, but, it sure is effective. I also picked up this, and, obviously, now, I am never without power. Also, I use this Charger for the spares. It takes a long time to charge the batteries, but charges them fully to 100%, whereas, charging the battery in the phone doesn't seem to work as well.

MobileTechReview does a review of the Zero Lemon. The back case is the only thing that keeps me from getting it. Not that it sticks out, but that it's like a soft rubber. The whole back. The video shows it better than I can explain it.

Think that was the original case they reviewed? They changed it a little bit (better fit) before the release a week or two ago. They are also coming out with a rugged case in about a month.
I've gone through a number of batteries and long story short, they've all sucked. Even the original stock battery was crap. I've been using this battery for almost 4 weeks and I've been getting absolutely stellar battery life. I'm well beyond that initial conditioning phase.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2450mAH-EB6..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4ac2c14f8b
2450mah. I'm usually skeptical of higher mah ratings as you can only cram so much juice into a given form factor, but I'm left wondering if lion chemistry has really improved this much. Ever so slightly thicker than a standard stock battery (same size as the 2100mah andida if anyone else had one), but fits the stock battery back w/ a bit of manipulation. E4GT is stock GB27 (w/ root). I'll get more screenshots now that I'm really paying attention to performance.
I'm getting consistent 4hours+ of screen on time while actively using the phone. 2 google accounts, sync enabled, no kernel tricks, 'auto' screen brightness (not lowest), haven't even disabled useless apps, etc.
Sample size will soon be 2; i've ordered a 2nd battery for my wife's phone so I'll compare once it gets here.
tldr: 4+, could probably eek out 5 hours of active screen on phone use w/ a standard size (non-ugly hump) battery.
Nice I can barely get 1 hour of battery life from mine.

How's the battery holding up now about 6-7 weeks since you got it? Still really good battery life? When you do about 4-5 hours of screen time how many hours of battery life are you getting? Also what rom are you on? And how does your wife's battery that you ordered compare? Sorry for the 21 questions, but thanks

I'm wondering this too.
im also wondering if this is legit...not a bad investment for $7 but it wouldnt even be here for another month. I just got an epic 4g for $50 and am super satisfied with it (coming from the beast Note 2)...I'm actually surprised with its performance all around EXCEPT for the battery life. I do realize the battery and phone are close to 2 years old which is why im looking into a new battery.....
but really, selling my note 2 for 400 and picking this up for 50 is prob the best investment I ever made, saving my upgrade for "the next next big thing" :good:

I bought 2 of these for $10 about 2 weeks ago and so far so good. With 4g, bluetooth, and gps on all day, I get about 14 hrs (with 3.5-4hrs screen time) and still have about 15% before putting it to charge. Great deal

Is it able to fit inside the phone without having to buy a replacement back?
Yes, you still use the same stock back the phone came with, its just tighter.
The only question in my mind is longevity, as I have purchased some knockoff batteries (sold as Samsung OEM with almost identical labeling as the original battery), that started to degrade within a month and now are useless except for short term emergencies.
Most people on these forums swear by Anker batteries, which I've never tried, but I still have Ferocity Mobile batteries (bought on ebay but no longer sold) which are still going strong. They just dont hold a candle to these 2450s,so they are my backup batteries now (have two Epic Touch phones in the family).
I will report back periodically on how they are performing over time.

Would you or OP be able to do a test on those 2450 batteries that OP has? Do you have the same type of battery as OP? If so could you please run a streaming netflix 3g test on it and see how long it runs till it drains from 100 to zero. I'm a HEAVY user on my phone and that would be the closest way to gauge it to my usage even though i don't stream video all day lol. Thank you
Yes, same battery as the OP.

how old is ur battery btw? ur phone will not function well and its very annoying, coz it won't last long. the fact that it's already bloated, just replace it asap coz it may dmg ur phone. idk know if it's related to fast charge thing, but same thing happened to my battery a few months ago using fast charge (usb charging only).
google search, there r a lot of cheap battery for sgw but whether its reliable or not is questionable.
oem battery in sillypore cost S$58/pc @ samsung service centre.
i was looking for one a few months ago, found a compatible battery at www.battery.com.sg but out of luck was not in stock.
i think they should have stock by now, they have a shop at sim lim square on the second floor (closed on sunday).
i dun know the price, i presume it will be cheaper than oem and have better power @ 1800mAh. :good:

Bro, I bought a netbook from Sim Lim and my dad used it for 6 years and we only had to put a reserve battery... I think you are safe. Singapore is a clean country after all. Anyway, the Samsung shops sell the batteries at 55 bucks so I just bought one non-original one from a pasar malam, which is supposedly made to last for 6-7 months. This is my second month using it and I don't see any problems... good luck bro and brofist to a fellow Singaporean...

As I posted already many times. Do not use FastCharge. Those batteries are designed to be charged with about 0.7C max. Which means 0.7 x capacity. So for the SGW this means 0.7 x 1500 = 1050mA max. Faster charging will kill the battery sooner or later.
So yes, it will get bloated also. The same way like stressing it a lot at heavy usage.
And this is also the reason I do not enable FastCharge in my kernel.

oh my... Okay, 1 thing, what happens if FastCharge is Ticked but the battery isn't charging? And what will happen if the battery can't hold it? Will it.explode?

When it´s not charging nothing should happen, but if it´s charging and the battery can´t hold it then yes, the battery can explode. It will build gases inside the battery till the case can´t hold them and they evaporate as a big bang. This can even happen after the charging.
Some years ago I´ve seen some pics made by a rather mature man whose phone exploded in his hand. His hand was in half between the middle fingers. The kitchen full of blood. He made the pics with the other hand and I guess he was under shock while doing them, so he didn´t feel the pain.
So better charge it normal. This is better for you and your battery.

Why would he take a pic... anyway, heed what honeyx says and get a new one and charge it normally.

I was woundering too. It was not just one pic but several pics. But well he made some and posted them in a forum with the whole story. Just can think of he made them to sue the company he got the phone from in the first place and finally also posted them to warn others to what can happen.
About a week ago there was also something about a girl in the tv news whos smartphone exploded in her pocket due to a overheating battery. The litium burned into the skin and she needs the skin to be transplanted.
It´s simply not worth to deal with fast charging and bloated batteries. Batteries, phones, cars or houses. Everything of them can be replaced but health can not.
I believe phone shop in Johor got selling Wonder battery
UPDATE: funnily, the phone started to give false info abt the battery for some reasons.. Like, when its 65%, it auto shutdown and then i have to start it back up and was shocked to find it 1% and well, shutdown again... Is this normal for this kind of battry?

Normally, a recalibration should fix it... But it won't fix your battery bloating issue obviously...

Please not again about recalibration and /or whiping battery stats. They get whiped on each reboot and so also the battery gets recalibrated. Calibrating is nothing more than collecting statistics about which app you launched how often. The background processes and so on. And this all is collected in the battery stats which gets overwritten on each reboot so you see the current statistics in settings-> battery.

Oh well then your battery is already toast. I´m having here some old Li-Po batteries for flashlights which are doing the same. Charging like normal but doing 5 minutes max. Some even can´t do for just 1 minute. They are just paperweights now.
