[Q] best extended battery for dinc

I want to know the best extended battery for the dinc
The battery life is terrible as everyone knows, but there has to be few that are better.
The only quality one I've seen is this: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce...TF8&coliid=I16O9PYH6VHRAM&colid=3T9UU6Y0BT160
Any suggestions?
thanks

Well, I went to order the Verizon one today and its sold out now. That leaves the one you posted and the EVO one.
Any others ???

That one adds bulk. If that isn't an issue, then go for it. I use the Seido 1750 to keep the same size phone.

Have you all notice a dramatic change in the life with the verizon battery?

I was considering getting this extended battery; I know people grade the batteries with mAH numbers, but as mentioned above, have you noticed a significant increase in battery life compared to stock? Like something you could equate to %?

I use the Seido 1750 mAh battery as well. It gives me that little push that thenstock battery couldn't and it keeps the same form factor of the DInc because you can use the same battery door.

I too use the HTC 2150mAh battery. I changed it out and went back to stock and to a 1500mAh that I bought from HTCPedia (will be returning as it looks worn) but I always come back to the 2150. I didn't want to change the form factor of my DInc but the performance is 2nd to none. I think now it's time to get one of those cases from Seidio...

i'm still looking for good extended batteries

The 2150 is a great choice, used mine for months until I decided I wanted a sexier case. There is still a couple of case choices for the 2150 but they're limited.
Great battery life on it though, I honestly never worried about my battery life at all when I had it on.

depends are you coming from stock battery? If you are then it's a very big step up in battery life.
Personal preference here, but the added weight and size suits the phone well- and with that black cover case it all goes together nicely. If you are particular about having your phone very thin and light then you may not want to get it.
Amazon looks like a great spot to pick them up:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Incredibl...R0ZA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312953980&sr=8-1
I bought mine from amazon but they were in the 40-50$ range when I did, looks like they've dropped the price since then.

yeah, looking for somewhere cheap, hours being slashed down to 1 to 2 days at my job, and i can't easily afford that, as well as an 81 dollar bill (may end up on sprint soon if they are bringing wimax 4g here like they said.)

I have the 1500 evo 4g battery that I got right from Sprint. It pretty much destroys the stock 1300 inc battery. By destroy, I mean that I can get about 24 hours out of it if I charge it when I get home from work, wait until it's fully charged and then unplug it. So it's pretty much not doing anything overnight. I have the htc 2150 and it's just too damn big.

Love the extended battery on my GNex!

Just want to say that I received my extended battery today and how awesome it feels on the phone...love it way better than the standard battery and cover. Now I'm just hoping this bad boy gives me at least 2-3 more hours of juice.
Def no regrets!

Glad to hear it. FedEx should be delivering mine here shortly but I need to head to Verizon first to swap out the phone due to the green screen issue. Hopefully the extended battery will work with the Case-Mate Tough case that I have on it now.

I agree, just got mine. This should have been the stock battery.

Are we talking about the Verizon phone here or is there already a battery for GSM version available for purchase?

VZW I assume

I def have to agree been on it for 2 days already and the feel of the phone is better

What do you guys mean by "feel of the phone is better"? The weight and thickness of the phone or the overall longer battery life?

The weight and thickness plus the longer battery life....trust us, get the extended battery with cover. This really should have been the default battery for the Gnex.

I think we need separate forums for the GSM Galaxy Nexus and the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. These are really two completely different phones.

I totally agree! There are lots of wasted posts asking if it's for GSM or LTE. LOL

The battery definitely weighs more...which I dig! The back cover is only slightly more rounded...
Huge fan

i wonder why the gn didnt just come like this

I also received mine a couple of hours ago and I love it.
Love how the phone feels and look.

I love the way this feels. The back is also less slippery and it just feels right.

When did you guys order it from Verizon online? I placed my order on Friday night. I have the order confirmation number, but the page to check the order status sends me to an "Page is currently unavailable" placeholder after entering all of my info. Do they send out a shipping confirmation with tracking info? Thanks!

and to think I bought a widget for that

I ordered my extended battery (hopefully coming today)...for those of you that have it, is it possible to use the extended cover with the normal battery?
I don't mind carrying other batteries, but also carrying around extra backs seems like a pain if it's not necessary. Plus it seems like people just really like the feel of the extended cover more.

Best Extended Life Battery?

Does anyone have any recommendations to a good extended life battery? I would prefer one that isn't so bulky but I want really good battery life. Battery Life is more important to me but a balance of bulkyness and battery life would be good.

Careful...
I read on a previous battery thread that this company gets poor reults. The other thread posted a site that had testing results for a bunch of battery manufactures.... I would google it.
On the other side it's only $9 bucks so may be worth it even if it ends up being a 2nd battery.
As for external chargers they are all over Ebay for dirt.

yeah that price is very sketchy. the cheap eBay extended batteries have proven to never be even close to the advertised capacity. sometimes they turned out to be even less than the stock batteries. I'd expect the same out of this one seeing as legitimate extended batteries usually range in the $30-50 dollar range.

I read that thread as well but it was for the hero. For whatever some aftermarket batteries perform differently on different platforms. I just ordered a trexcell and can review it later. I hate that reviews only come out after the break in period. No one else does long standing reviews.
I plan on trying the andida one next round if the price goes back down.
Dicho por el E4GT de latinmaxima

Here you go. I purchased one of these for my 3D and 2 for my ET4G. I'm getting 30+ hrs with moderate to heavy usage. Definitely on par with the Seidio but at half the cost. It does add a bump and some weight to the phone but IMO it actually makes the phone feel more solid. It feels cheap with just the stock battery.

Just got two of these, and after 3 days use I'm convinced they're knock offs. I would say they're 1650mAh at best. Not saying Andida makes junk batteries; I doubt these are legit Andidas sold on this site.

Here is a good battery setup i use!
I have had very good luck with this setup...
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Spri..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1333305053&sr=1-5
With it being 20.00 you just cant go wrong... 2 BATTERIES, WALL CHARGER and it performs way better than the stock batteries. I charge them from the wall charger and when i install the battery it actualy stays at100% for over 30 minutes of use before i see 99% and 98% just amazing. this pic i posted is from heavy use with the battery. Im ALWAYS on the phone lol. Also I always have my brightness at max!

I have the traxcell extended battery and its worth it. I love that I can still have a case for it

I have tried the extended batteries and have never been impressed. I just ordered the amazon batteries/charger deal suggested by davidstjohn1.
I seldom get through a day without changing my battery at least once. I figure since I paid a premium price for the Galaxy II I may as well enjoy the beauty of the screen. I got rid of the screen protector too and use rain-x on it which works great.

http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Sams..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1333320158&sr=1-2
This is cheaper and eliminates the need to switch batteries, and I think it makes the phone a good weight. To each his own tho.
Also whats the point of the rain-x, to reduce finger prints?

There is also a nice TPU cover made to fit the extended profile. I am tempted to get it but then again I have no issues with the stock battery. But I never use 4g.

I also have the tpu cover. The back that comes with it is slippery so the case is a must for me. I had never dropped my phone before I put on the extended battery, then I dropped it twice that week. I ordered the case and have been fine since.
Right now I am at 17% with being on battery for 1d 10h on codename ROM. Sooooo worth it

Now it all comes back to me. I like the Samsung TPU cover and the one I got with my extended battery was a slippery POS. There is also the fatter profile. I like the lighter thinner look (as I wish my meat body was).
Rain-X is THE best solution I have found for fingerprints. Only works on glass though. I tried it on my Gtab first and now use it on my Galaxy S and even my eye glasses. I live in New York City so don't have/need a car but I once treated my windshield before a drive in the rain from LV to LA and didn't have to use the windshield wipers once - the raid just blew off.

Video Review: Mugen Power 4000 mAh Extended Battery!

Hey guys,
I finally got my hands on the Mugen power 4000 mAh extended battery, which I know a lot of you are eager to check out! Within the package you'll receive the battery and the back cover. The back cover fits great and looks fantastic, the textured coating is comfortable and grippy. It includes a kickstand which is loose and pretty terrible to be honest. As for the battery performance, watch the video below for full info:

Thanks for the video. It was well done, I enjoyed watching it.
How many cycles have you gone through? I'm wondering if the lackluster performance was due to the battery not bring broken it.
I have the Hyperion battery. If I were to spend a premium on an extended, I think I would rather get the Seidio over the Mugen. No crappy kickstand and the Seidio also looks like it fits in the hand better.

Thanks for the kind words! I ran 4 cycles the day I received it plus another 3-4 when I was in New York City. I'm still going to keep using and going to run my test again after 20 cycles or so and see if that helps (and get back to you guys).
A buddy of mine has the Seidio, I like the soft touch coating but it feels cheap (for example, the Seidio logo scratches off SUPER easily). However, it's half the price, so you really can't compete with that.
Hope my video helped out!

Sweet! Now that you know the 'truth' and you won't be surprised, you should be relatively happy with the product.

It's over 4000 but honestly, why cant manufacturers do what motorolla made to RAZR? even Galaxy Note not use all space under the cover..

Great review! Thanks for posting. I too think its a bit on the expensive side considering the 3800 is like 30 dollars less. Mugen really seems to be asking a lot for something that is testing less than expected for a premium price. With that said, i do wonder how well the back door would fit on this particular case. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Me...976685?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item231a1d336d

Hmm..seems like it would fit. I had a similar setup on my Galaxy S II, where I used the Mugen 3200 mAh Battery with the SGP Neo Hybrid EX Bumper. Worked pretty well.

lovely battery, thx mate

Great review! I bought the cheap 3800mAh battery and it only lasted for about 5 hours and 15 minutes playing video with the screen on. I plan on running the 2100mAh battery to compare. I was wondering how this one was in comparison and now I know. I don't think it is worth $100 for that type of performance.
I loved the kickstand on my Momax 2700 battery for the Vibrant and that appealed to me on this one. Great to see before ordering one that it is so poorly made.
Thanks again for the great review.

good idea, but really too thick to put in my jean's pocket~

Yeah, definitely. It's not worth the price tag. My contact there emailed me and is sending out a new kickstand/cover, he thinks mine was just a faulty cover, we'll see.
Will keep everyone updated on that.

With a tight kick stand, this product would be much better!

i have one. the kick stand is ok. it doesnt flick out like what you see in the video even when i give it a good shake to test it out.

Singsing...how's the battery life so far? I just bought one and would like to know what others have experienced so far

I just wanted to let everyone know that I received the Mugen Power 4000 mah extended battery yesterday. I will report back on the results once the first charging cycle is complete.
I was able to use the battery for a bit yesterday...
It averaged about 1 hour 15 min of display time with pretty heavy usage ...and only a 20 percent battery drain. Stock battery would have drained 30-35 percent in same time.
I will follow up soon.

I bought one of these and the Hyperion 3800 to test them out since me and the missus both have this phone. Read good and bad things about both, but most of the negatives seem to be from idiots who dont know how to put them through proper charge cycles.
Hoping they both turn out good, but for $20 each I wont complain too much if i get a lemon. Only annoying thing now is waiting for the mail redirection service since Amazon refused to ship to Australia!

I have this battery and the Seidio for my CDMA Sprint GNEX.
The Qcell is OK for what it is, cheap. I see much better battery life with the Seidio, but if I had to do it again I probably would have just stayed with the Qcell.
It's so cheap you can't go wrong.

I have this battery and I'm quite satisfied with it. It has lasted me more than a day with casual web browsing, music, and videos (WatchESPN, TwitchTV, YouTube, etc.).
It has lasted me more than two work days too. The cover is fit perfectly on my phone. It gives the back of the phone more grip.
I also got the Trexcell TPU case. Clean look and the cut outs are perfect for the buttons and ports.
The extended battery/cover adds some bulk to the phone but not that much, IMHO.

Thats nice to hear I'm going to order one myself and the Trexell case hopefully sometime next week ill do a full video review.
