[Q] Other phones that have same physical size battery? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am looking for a new battery for my Epic 4g, but I don't feel like purchasing one lol.
So this leads to my question:
My friend works at a Sprint store and said he can grab me a battery from an Epic 4g or another phone that has the same physical size but more capacity.
I am seeking help in finding information on other Sprint phones that use the same "physical" size battery as the Samsung Epic 4G uses...
I am hoping to acquire a battery from another phone that has 3500+mAh. Anyone have any suggestions?

Epic touch works just fine. Although I don't condone the "stealing" at least spot the dude 10$.

Like UBER said and free is free, but Epic Touch and no phone has 3500 mAh only after market extended batteries do.

Well yes, we all do not condone to stealing, but he is the store manager and made the offer the other day cause I was complaining about how horrible my battery was.

Well he said he only has 1800mAh batteries anyway, so he's just going to bring me one of those instead. Thanks for everyone's input.

BTW I said 3500 mAh that's 3300 mAh I know, I know only a 200 mAh difference but that's big take for instance the 1800 versus the 1500 mAh

The phone will feel obviously heavier, and the cover will be slightly loose, having trouble staying snapped shut. But it seems to become accustom to the stretch and you'll get used to the different feel of the phone too.

Yes, it is a noticeable difference; not an issue, just a difference.
The cover does not exactly fit. There is a bulge where the top of the thicker battery causes it to slightly deform And the bottom snaps are not as tight being that the cover is now a bit mis-shapen.
And thicker battery = heavier battery.
It is noticeable the first couple of weeks. But I've become accustomed to it.

There is a version for our phone its meant for the 1st Galaxy S line 1800 mAh by Anker. So I have no difference in battery size or problems with the back. No deformity or thickness difference.
So both of you take note of that there is 2 versions of the 1800 mAh. 1. The ET4G 1800, 2. Galaxy S 1800 mAh meant for the fascinate, epic 4g, att cap.

after market battery
I had this same issue with the OEM battery. (sorry the mechanic in me) I went to sprint and bought the 2400 mAh battery but it came with a new back cover. its almost a 1/2 in thicker. It was only $40 and i like it. yeah, my phone is heavier and alittle awkward to hold, but i have a major increase in battery life over the stock battery.

Why spend 40$ when you can buy a decent 3500 mAh for 15$ or even 20$ and is the same thickness as your cover, not to mention there are 2x Hyperion 3500 mAh that are very good for 19.99$ or 2x 1800 Ankers that get very good battery life without any thickness at all?
I mean its pointless to buy a battery that's 40$ when you clearly have better options out there is all I'm saying.

Anyone know of any extended batteries or extra batteries with charger? I know it might take awhile for an extended to come out but its always nice to have those extra batteries
I heard that the 2000mah battery from the upcoming Samsung Nexus may be available for us. It would make sense considering how similar the phones are.
Nice that'd be sweet
This is all I've seen so far
http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-CGPK009GSTA
some research i did found that epic batteries will work but they are only 1500mah. but during that research i read about some batteries having different chips telling it how to charge correctly. i'd much rather wait for a OEM 1800 battery
Ive still got my charging kit for the epic, a few oem 1500 batteries and a 1650 galaxy s 4g battery
EDIT: oem samsung galaxy s 4g 1650mah battery works just fine
Here's a link to an OEM 1800 mah battery that ships on 9/30.

Even better, Samsung has a standalone charger, stand for $50. It says it includes a new 1800mAh battery AND a wall charger. If it really exists and has the battery, it's a good deal.

Since battery is the same size as og epic you can use the same extended batteries yay just need to battery cover

I have 5 epic 4g batteries and I try to put them in top first and the bottom will not push fully in due to the top corners are not cut out properly to fit in my Touch. I wish they did, wouldn't have to buy an extra battery. Probably only need one for emergency backup anyway. After the newness wears off, it will probably last the whole day.

The Epic Touch battery fits perfect in the original Epic. On the original Epic, the top "posts" where the battery fits in are smaller than the "posts" on the Touch. That's why the original Epic battery does not fit in the Touch.

i'll probably order one to try it out , if it's compatible with our phone
why not just use the Mugen 2000 mAh battery?
i only trust OEM batteries when it comes to Extended
besides 2000 - 1850 = 150 mAh gain, not really worth the upgrade
however 2100 - 1850 = 250 mAh gain, that is at least a decent quater pound over the original
it should at least give you another hour with 250 mAh
but 150 wont even last you 30min
according to the mAh consumption history of my phone, it averages around 213 to 555 mAh when in use, game or web surfing
iddle is 2 mAh

Here's why...
About the same price, OEM it is.
OEM Sammy has higher capacity, which is usually what they state. 3rd party batteries are generous with their numbers and tend to lie.

Agreed. OEM or not, it doesn't fit. I could rig a laptop battery up to my phone, that doesn't mean it's better. "but all you have to do is leave the battery door off and duct tape it to the back..." Um....no thanks. I don't care what kind of battery it is, if it doesn't fit, it's a waste of time.
Here's the extended Galaxy Nexus battery in my SGS2.
Can't tell you the battery life yet, gimme a day or two.
I'm not using the back cover, the Seidio Active takes care of it. Not a big deal since the case never comes off anyway.
peel off the label on the battery and take a Dremel to the back cover to make space. The case is thin, but a few thousands of an inch shouldnt hurt. you could possibly have the battery case down too if you're brave.
that case looks a touch heavy, how does it feel? whats the front look like?
thanks for posting the pics

i'm sure you can at least keep the better half of the batter door clicked in
while leaving only the bottom part un-hooked
and let the phone case do the rest of the job at keeping the batter in place

It seems to give about an hour more roughly. I did a little over 15hrs the other day (auto sync, BT, 4G, yadayada). I usually finish with about 14 normally.
YMMV, you may or may not see any difference.
If money is tight, don't buy it. I'm sure most people aren't going to go bonkers over that one hour.

I would maybe try this one first
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2300mAh...ccessories&hash=item3f117fadeb#ht_5834wt_1413
i don't trust oversized. Also the Gnex requires that the battery has a NFC chip on it to be able to use the Gnex's NFC function
what's the capacity on the standard battery packs? That 2.3ah one you linked to does not look much bigger, do you also need a new back cover for that one?

Only $5.99 USD?
That's too good to be true ... most probably fake, I meant it contain less than 2300 mAH.
And it is for "Galaxy Nexus prime" ... bwahahaha ... Yeah, right!
Also, it does not look to have NFC.
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/110797773716#ht_4338wt_905
It has NFC and it is (slightly) higher capacity. The back cover fits perfectly, and is almost identical to the CDMA GN back cover. Makes the device just a tad less concave near the bottom. Looks and fees better in my opinion.
I've ordered one of the 3,800 ones, I'll post a review when I get it!
Both the cheap ones do seem a bit too good to be true, but for the price of the so called 3800mah one I might try it and test it out.

Been thinking about this. I hate putting on huge battery packs so the 2000mAh was appealing. but $50 for such a small bump is hard to justify for me, especially considering I have no plans to get a desk charger and swap batteries.

I was thinking the same thing, but I went for it anyway. I bought it so I wouldn't have to swap batteries. The 2000mah battery has about 15% more capacity, so if you get say 12 hours on the regular battery, you should get 13.7 hours. If you get 18 hours, you should get 20.6 hours. As well, I find my GN feels much better in my hand with the extended battery: it is slightly heavier and less concave in the back (i.e., it looks like an LTE GN).

Not to thread crap, but Google Seidio extended batteries. They usually test at far less than their advertised rating. They make nice cases, but their batteries aren't very well regarded in the smartphone enthusiast circles.

on my SGS2 they could not outlast my mugen but then again mugen cost 30 more. having said that, the battery is very good. i wouldnt doubt their product.

I agree, had them for my og Evo, extended battery was decent, but on my Epic touch it was far less than satisfying.
I am waiting on one from Gorilla gadgets, the extended battery i got for my Epic touch was good. Hopefully it will be the same with my GS3
There extended battery for my og evo worked great for almost two years. But I messed up using a rom with trickle charging. So go for the battery when it comes out, I know I will.

I agree too, their products are very reliable and the quality is superb, I bought an extended battery from them a few years ago for the Droid Inc and always got atleast 26+ hrs on it. Of course like any other battery, it too lost its juice after 2 years but I was very satisfied with its output. Right now there is no timetable on when the battery will be released (I sent Seidio an email and waiting for their response) but hopefully the battery isn't bulky enough that it sacrifices the phones' beauty.

I had great experience with the Seidio batteries for my Palm Pres, so other than the rather high price (and my concern about fit in my car dock), I am seriously considering this. {ProfJonathan}
um...what do you guys think so far?
this compare to mugen?
or should i wait for the samsung factory extended battery?
