All 2700, 3000, 3500 mah are 2100mah with a different sticker

It is my conclusion that all chinese knock offs are 2100mah. This based on johnnychimpos results of tests. He had a 2700 and 3000. Both of which charged no higher than 2000mah. I have 2 chinese 3000 and 3500 no difference between the 3. Looking for proof elsewhere. Going to buy real seidio now.

Still better than 2000mah. If I am going to be carrying this weight around I better get the most juice I can out of them.

Hmm, what do you think about this...
http://cgi.ebay.com/Seidio-3500mAh-...388183?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255cf59497
Seems to be a California based company, but on their main website they have the same item going for 64.99 - wonder why eBay is $15 cheaper.

It is my conclusion that my chinese knockoff charged to over 2700mah and kept getting better. It was rated at 3000

I use the HTC 2150. Works great, less filling ...
Only drawback - battery indicator doesn't function.

@op i agree. they are all the same with different sticker. 2k packs 2 times the size.

I agree the 2100, 2700mAh, and 3000mAh are all actually the same 2100mAh, but the 3500mAh Seidio is a beast on it's own. I have all of these batteries.

I got the 3500mah from random Chinese company, the fit and finish of the case is really nice
I don't understand why the mah would be so low... I mean the 1500mah ones I bought, are pretty much 1500mah.

Cause OEM product fromt he company are close to the actually mah, seidio's 3500 is the best mah you going to get with 28xx mah.

Mugen 4500mAH Battery+Back

Hi
A 4500mAH Mugen extended battery battery is supposed to be shipping 'soon' for the Note:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...or-samsung-galaxy-note-with-battery-door.html
At that price ($109), i'll be letting someone else sample/report on it first!!
I was expecting the Mugen for the note to be a bit bigger, but it is the same capacity as their extended battery for the S2.

5000mAH Chinese extended battery: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...ith-Back-cover-4pcs-lot-High-wholesalers.html
Chunky!

I've ordered the Mugen. I'll report back on performance in a few weeks once I've got it and cycled it a couple of times.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

And I ordered "el cheapo" from ebay. Will report back once it arrives from HK.

I got the same cheap Chinese battery. Two batteries, wall charger, car USB charger, USB cord - all for around 10 bucks. The batteries are rated at 2500 mA, but get discharged almost twice as fast as the stock one. The wall charger is poor quality, I had to open it to solder the leads back in place.
All that considered, the deal is pretty decent for the price.

With that price, u can buy 3 extra OEM Samsung Note battery 3x2500=7500mah and still keep the thin look on the Note.

I love the Mugen batteries except none of the cases fit. Does anyone know if the bumper cases fit with the bigger batteries??

Buy Sanyo Eneloop 5000mAh, multi purpose mobile charger pack.

I wonder if Mugen is going to make an OEM sized one with 3000 mah Those are usually, price wise, comparable to the original batteries, and have a little more umff to them! But I think 110 dollars for a battery is a little over priced.

On the Mugen Website it now has a product image and it looks like the battery cover has a kickstand. Or is that just a generic image place holder?
**EDIT**
Yes it is a battery cover with built in kickstand. Nice!

And the expanded cover is available in black OR white (or red?), and it looks much better than I would have expected. Still chunky, but might be easier to hold.
EDIT: wonder what the effect is on the external speaker?

Love Mugen quality batteries, Ive been using them since my dell axim days
Anyone know where to get hold of them in Europe to avid customs charges ?

I live in Spain, and I have purchased about 4 of these batteries and I have never once paid customs / importation taxes.

Looks good, the only thing that worries me is the real capacity. the 30Euro samsung battery says its 2500mah and its really2450-2500 mah battery. But usually, according to tests from the past. Mugen batteries rarely reach 75 percent of their advertised capacity. And thats a ripoff. Ive been considering buying mugen 3200mah for S2, but then I found out its really a ~2600mah battery for sky high price. I will be surprised if this battery proves to have at least 4000mah in the future when someone does a discharge test on this expensive piece of thing.
P.S. also to the wise guy saying he will buy a cheap ebay 5000mah, those are probably even worse than stock sammy battery with double the thickness.

I've bought some other cheap batteries from eBay. I would suspect it's 3500-4000mah. The one Mugen I've had was close to the advertised capacity. I'd say at least 85%.

Mugen is a dutch company so you wont need to pay custom duties if you are in the EU.

According to their website Mugen are based in China

How much weight does it add to the unit?
Does it make one hand operation more difficult due to extra thickness? I can sort of manage one hand operation with a lanyard currently.

Anyone has bouhgt the Mugen-Battery-Pack and can post some pictures or better still a video?
I'm interested about the dimension/handling of the package and can't find something like that!
Thank's! Best regards!
Andi

I'm interested, but it looks lke it will make it pretty thick, and I like the portabilty I have, meaning, I like the fact it fits in my pants pocket without being to bulky. I viewed the phots with the battery and the case it comes with, it will be pretty thick.

Opinions on this battery?

I always used this website for batteries and always they were great
this one is estimated to ship on Feb 21 just 2 days before my bday i might treat myself!
Code:
http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-2000mah-battery-for-verizon-samsung-galaxy-nexus/
it says it's 2000mah how much more battery usage i can expect?
before i flashed franco kernel (which was about hour ago)
my battery would hold around 12 hours on 4.0.4 i always listen to music text and do some web browsing. Thanks guys

You get ~14% more capacity compared to the 1750 mAh battery. So don't expect too much.

Why wouldn't you get the OEM Extended battery? It's half the price and holds more charge. If you're worried about the case the difference is barely even noticeable, most cases fit with the extended battery.
I get about an hour more on average compared to stock battery, which makes a huge difference for me. It's also good having an extra battery anyway.

If you've got a Verizon version, just buy the extended battery straight from Verizon its 2100mAh and comes with a proper back cover for less $$.

Thank you, forgot to mention that...like I forgot to mention since it's OEM you don't have to worry about the build quality being too poor, like you do buying from some unknown company such as the one in the OP

i dont want it to get fatter to be honest thats why i wanted to try that battery

The OEM extended barely makes it thicker, it keeps NFC, and it is cheaper with more capacity.
You're going to put a case on it anyways, so why do you care about thickness? lol.

if that mugen battery is not larger than stock one i can assure you that you are not getting more capacity. mugen batteries are decent as far as aftermarket ones goes but they over advertise their capacity and charge more than oem but dont take my word for it. check out this website that tested some mugen batteries actual capacity. mugens 1800mah is actually 1400 and thier 3600 extended is 2500. http://batteryboss.org/

[GSM] Any one have the 3500 mAh and cover?

Well I saw it here: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-3500-extended-life-battery-p/bacy35ssgng-gy.htm but I want to see if anyone have a picture of it with the cover: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-convert-extended-case-holster-p/bd4-hkr4ssgnlx2.htm since those pics are not the best ones. Also do you recommend it?
Thanks

No one? I really want to know before buying it.

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.

took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?

I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.

Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.

I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery. Haven't bought case yet, but this one looks nice - amazon.com/Trexcell-Transparent-Thermoplastic-Universal-aftermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344185186&sr=8-1&keywords=extended+soft+TPU+case+nexus

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.

Video Review: Mugen Power 4600 mAh extended battery

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the Mugen power 4600 mAh extended battery + back cover for the Galaxy S3. I'm sure most of you know what this is, so it doesn't need much explaining. The back cover is of great quality, fits onto the S3 nicely and securely. It has cutouts where needed and for the most part, it is great. The battery makes the phone VERY thick, as expected - but it is still usage and pocketable. Check out the full review below for more information on the back cover and battery, I go more in-depth there;

It only got "5 he. And some change. Hyperion beat it out at over 7hrs. Of screen on. Plus its at a fraction of the price.
Hyperion is top dog in battery life for sg3. It beat out banker and qvell also.
I do like its back cover with built in kickstand.
