Anker 1700mah battery

Has anyone tried these extended batteries? The 1900mah Anker batteries are popular for the Evo 3D but I just did a search in this forum and couldn't find anything.

i have one but not in an evo,i have an htc glacier and my battery las 2 h longer that the stok ****ty one

A few folks in the office here got them for the Evo's and one let me try it for a few days. HUGE improvement over the crap stock battery. I would definitely recommend it.

I think that I might try one myself, did you get this battery yet?

My friend ordered it but has not received it yet. I use the same brand in my Evo 3D and it's noticeably better than stock.

I replaced my original evo 4g battery that was over two years old with this one and I noticed a big differents in battery life. Also only payed $15 for 2 battery's and a wall charger off eBay.

I just posted a thread about these actually, I highly recommend, amazing batteries.

I've been using one of these (bought the 2 pack with charger) for roughly 6 months, and have been very pleased with it.
I can't confidently say that it is much better than a NEW stock battery, but considering my stock battery was over a year old, the Anker definitely improved my battery life, vs the stock old one.
I was hesitant about buying a non OEM battery, but I'm very pleased with mine, and for the cost was well worth it.

I have to +1 these being amazing batteries. Got mine for $13.99 on ebay with a desktop charger. I have gotten 24+ hours out of one charge. Highly recommend it!

I should be getting mine 2 pack with wall charger on monday. Can't wait!!!

Got it in today!!
The charger is interesting, it should fit just about any battery as the prongs will slide left and right, where ever the + and - is on the battery. Then also the bottom part that holds the battery is on a spring and you just pull down the length of the battery.
It charged one of the to 89% pretty fast, probably an hour. Had to take it off for a emergency call.
Ill be able to give a better test soon. I need a fresh flash of CM7 anyways, too much bog and FC's. Probably not good when the main process FC's.

I am still running the same battery that I took off the charger when I made that post. I am at 1 day and 3 hours with 30% left. I haven't really been making any calls, just some txts, most of it was me playing around and flashing different things to make my ICS experience better, using drew's P7. The battery went down fast from 89% till about 60%, but the other battery I got took about double the time to fully charger than with how long this battery has been in my phone. I am excited so far, looks very promising. I think this was a worthwhile purchase, simply for the wall charger, to charge any phone battery!

I'm getting pretty great results with these batteries. I haven't been using my phone too much and lots of idle time. I took a fresh battery off at midnight and went right to sleep. I slept most of the day. When I got up it was at 81 I think after 14 hours. I used my phone here and there for some texts and some small phone calls. I started installing lots of apps and played around with Widgets and settings, it popped down to 59 around that time. I installed juice defender also and I think it only went down a few notches all night till the morning. I haven't done much today besides a couple dozen texts a short and then 20 min call. I'm updating a bunch of apps right now while typing this, its lagging a bit so its slow and took me a few min and lost 1% but I'm also updating 11 apps at once
I am running drews P7, I have been running unvisible tweaks, but I just installed the nifty tweak zip and popped in a fresh battery, so this may be even better battery life now that I got juicedefender and the nifty tweaks. Cant wait to see! Im also thinking about running one of the KANG CM7 roms, as I already got about this with stock battery, I think it could last 3 days if I went back to CM7. God, I can't wait for CM9 and custom kernels!!
Here is what my current up time is.

as he got the phone a few hours ago maybe a little early to tell? anyone asking about battery life please come back in about 1 week time and we will have some relevant information to share. Even then the information will be tainted with "new phone" usage and not normal usage. Come back in a month or two for really accurate information.

I totally understand people wanting to manage expectations when it comes to battery life and not disclosing any info until decent testing has been done, but I don't think its unreasonable to at least see a few initial observations on battery life?
I've already pre-ordered, but won't be getting it until 10 days from now. I'd like to see someone's initial impressions on battery usage over an hour watching movies/surfing/etc...

I don't need exact battery life info, just about screen-on time for first from 100% to 0-10%

how on earth is someone meant to say how long the battery life lasts after having it for half a day?
he probably used it continuously and if he's like me he'd have waited for it to do a full drain before plugging it in

Or perhaps this is the moment when we could know how long is the max screen on time since ppl r using it like crazy as its a new phone. Lol

any news of battery life daily use ?

Related to this, the manual says only use the official charger. I've got a New Trent external battery. I s there danger of it doing any harm?

I get at least 5h on screen time with my desire z on 40% screen brightness. Mainly on WiFi checking xda and web browsing.
I'd hope for 4h on the HOX but its not looking great. It's still a bit worrying that a slightly older device can still beat the newer devices.

New toy syndrome combined with a new battery taking about two Weeks to reach max performance, means it'll be a while before an accurate idea of average battery life emerges.

No, there's no danger. They simply want to limit damage to the battery by cheap Hong Kong Ebay chargers which don't regulate the voltage very well. You should be fine with a battery pack.

I don't agree, HTC customers have always complained of battery life - but they have always been better than the samsung galaxy phones that I'm used to.
HTC announced they have made battery life a higher priority in this device.
I can't find the link, but they also said it should be 'upto' 60% better than sensation.
Comparing it to the Galaxy Nexus, technology wise - this phone should at least be better than that phone.
CPU has its 4+1 technology
SLCD2 should use less power over Amoled
Bigger battery over the galaxy nexus.
So at least, I expect it to better its competition in the Galaxy Nexus.

HTC have embargoed all reviews until Monday. They are not going to be drawn into confirming or denying anything before then based only on unscientific impressions gained by a handful of users after only on one or two days usage. They will comment about battery life if the published reviews highlight there is a problem following several days controlled usage of the phone.

[Q] Battery life for Note 2

This is a question for the new owners of the galaxy note 2. Have you noted the "screen-on" time for battery to go from fully charged to drop dead? One of the biggest problem with the Super AMOLED devices is the (relatively) abysmal battery life when web browsing as they do quite well when playing video. Let's say if you were to primarily browse the web on the device how much screen-on time would you get?

im on my 3rd day now without a charge with heavy use.

Sorry! I don't believe Note 2 can do like that. How about your heavy meaning?

On my original Note1, I got 4 hours max of screen-on time while browsing/facebooking.
Hopefully the note2 will be an improvement over that!

I got my Note 2 today, brand new and box-fresh. At 09:30 this morning I fired it up and it had 55% battery, so I logged into my Google account, did what you do with a new Android smartphone, downloaded a bunch of Apps, really put it under some heavy load, made a few calls, SMS, plenty of multi-tasking etc. At 15:30 it was showing 6% battery life including 2h50m of screen time.
For a fresh battery and heavy use, I think that's pretty good going.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

So about 6 hours of screen on time per full charge. Not bad, actually, its about a 50% improvement over the 4 hours of the note1.
I might still consider investing in an extra battery for those long days...

Please post questions in the Q&A section.​

thats odd as phone arena tried a battery test and found they would get around 9 hours continous video playback at full brightness and they say with half brightness they would come close to razor maxx at 14 hours screen time?
but still ill wait till others have tested it properly
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-vs-Galaxy-Note_id3136/page/4

Video playback doesn't consume much battery on AMOLEDs, web browsing is more battery-consuming due to white backgrounds. Also, phone Arena said clearly that the phone was on airplane mode.

very good battery life... for almost 2 days (I used S3, S2 before and this is a very good phone)

The mains adaptor that comes as standard with the Note II has a 5 Volt 2 Amp output that should be good at charging the battery as many existing power supplies are 1 Amp or less.
If you plan on using a car adaptor, don't buy a cheap low current one - most are only 500mAh or 750mAh.

looks like battery looking good so far from you guys..i say give it a week of cycles. still needs braking in...does the back get really warm when charging? is charge time fast?

After few more cycles the battery life is just CRAZY
And I wasn't even using battery-saver mode !

Second day
The night before charged from 3% to 100% with my Note II power on for around 9 hours. Then unplugged and heavy using from 100% to 10%, it stayed more than 14 hours. I am saying this is pretty good juice. Screenshot attached.

How long are you guys putting this on the charger? Normally put my phone on charge when I go to bed and when I wake up it is fully charged. This phone was on the charger for 7.5 hours and went from 7%-63%. WTH????

Yesterday I charged it from 10% to 100% in about 2h30

Post a Screenshot of your battery drain in the settings and give details about your setup. And what is fast in your opinion? 1% /hour?
Maybe you should buy the extended battery kit?

try flashing different kernels and see which one suits u the best.every phone is different.u may also wanna underclock and undervolt. also change the rom may b if changing kernel doesnot work.ine suggestion.XenonHD rom with its stock kernel.

The stock battery is a joke at 1800 and the extended is 2100...I had both and both sucked although the 2100 was a lil better. I have the 3800 Seiko battery now and that will last me all day. Makes the phone thicker but its better then charging all day and worrying about what's killing your battery.

Turn off features when not being used like data NFC GPS.
Also avoid auto task killers

How much does it drain in one hour? Battery drain depends on many factors. The mains ones would be what kernel and ROM you are running as well as what "features" you have turned on. For example I am running CM10.1 with the stock CM kernel and I usually get around 16-18 hours of battery life with 1.5-2 hours of screen time.. that is with all of the features (gps, NFC, etc.) turned OFF.

How on earth can you drain a 3800mAh battery in one day? Nonstop internet radio AND 3d gaming on full display brightness?

I am currently using PA rom with franco kernel. Normal day = roughly 13-15 hours ish.
By normal day I mean around 30 minutes of talk time, about 1 hour ish web browsing and like what, 30 minutes ish of youtube? Of course, sometimes I am free and end up playing games on it for couple hours lol, but the stock battery seems to be plenty enough to me.

My battery makes it about 15-17 hours,with about 1 hour gaming,1 hour browsing and talk time around 1,5 hours...Xylon + Purity Kernel!

It is what it is. This is Wi-Fi only on this charge:

Turn data off when not using it. You can download a widget for that.
Keep screen brightness down low.
If rooted use setcpu and choose a screen off profile of 350mhz maximum - I find this a real benefit.

I'm sure the battery is a great one but the problem I have with most of these is the relative battery life. If you look at the graph, the points you used it, the slope was significantly higher than the slope of the times you aren't using it. I consistently use mine throughout the day and these giant batteries have never been exponentially better than the stock. Only by a few more hours at best. That's my experience at least.

Ah to be honest not that impressive . .... Heres the reason you have alot of phone idle
so simple math... Total time on battery 4d 15hrs - phone screen time 11hrs which Comes out to be about 4days 4hrs that your phone was on idle / in sleep mode
Also you have a big spike on your graph which means two things either 1. You plugged phone in for a bit or 2. You pulled your battery which will add more % to your battery.....
Attached is a picture of my stock rooted s3 with zerolemon7000
Not pictured is my idle time and screen time reason for that had to unroot my phone and re root and all my pictures got deleted
But phone idle was at 5 hrs and screen time was just over 1 day
Sent From My Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 and Zerolemon7000 Battery

Very nice results for 5 days. The trick to packing this battery full is running it down to 3% then fully recharging it about 2 hours past the 100% mark. This is for sure the longest lasting battery by far. I love it.
