Seidio extended battery... IT'S COMING!

I know many of us have been anxiously waiting to see for an extended battery option from Seidio (or other reputable 3rd party), but nobody has announced one for the Captivate until now. Finally:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4411.htm
Unfortunately, no mention of price or when it will be released as it's currently "under development" but that they have added it to their store is exciting enough!

Yeah I just saw that too, and wow 3200mah is huge!

Do you think they will make a case for it? I have the body glove that was launched with the phone. I kind of like it. Has anyone purchased from these guys before? Any experiences to share. Did you buy a case? They made a huge battery for the EVO didn't they?

This means a battery about 2 times as thick as the current one, so expect a custom back with a bumpout for battery.
The Moto Droid 2800 extended battery is $69 so this one will be between $70 and $90 - I would rather have a spare battery or an external rechargeable charger for half the price. I would never make "The Captain" thicker. No pot bellies (or junk in the trunk) on my captain just a slim toned physique.
But Seido has always made a good product - usually they can take the current sized battery and squeeze a little more in - like an 1800mAh in the current size. I hope.

Has anyone actually tried to wrap their head around what this thing will look like?
Our fancy locking closure will either make this thing hideous or cause our phones to look like the back of an Incredible (which I don't mind personally, I liked the terraced back. It reminds me of the zen like nature of steppes carved into a mountain for hillside farming.)
Either way, I want one. I'm just actually trying to fathom the design, and what will happen to the sound quality being the speaker is built underneath the battery cover.

We'll see... I don't think it will be that bad, as the Evo battery only adds "5-6mm" to the phone and that is a 3500mAh battery. But given the option, I would prefer a battery in the range of 2200-2400mAh that only adds maybe 2-3mm. But beggars can't be choosers.
If they could crank out a 1800mAh "slim" battery that does not require a cover, that would be excellent as well. They have 1750mAh for the Incredible and Evo, so who knows.

I have one of their "big" 2600 mAh batteries for my old Bold 9000 and while it put hump in its back, it fit my hand great and having that extra power was fantastic. I'll get this when it comes out.

Im totally down for this hopefully they make the back tapered and not just a straight "step" up, I'm 6 foot 3 and consequently have large hands so I wouldnt even mind my phone being a lil bit thicker.

16 reviews for a company that has been selling accessories for many years (5 that i know of) is not much of a statistic.
I can tell you that, when I was a moderator for Qusers, many people bought from Seido and never had a problem. that doesn't mean there is no problem, but everyone I know that has bought from Seido was satisfied. Their products are regularly review by major blogs, and amazon shoppers give their cases 4.5/5.
I have shopped at hundreds of sites and never filled out a review for resellerratings - so I am not sure that they are the best source for any information.
From my knowledge of the company I would not hesitate to buy from them. if they put out a 2000mAh battery that is the same size as OEM, i will buy it in a second.

I would rather leave the internal battery in place and add a accessory cover with a priority battery slot. The internal battery might have to be replaced with one a mm or two shorter to allow room for the internal battery disconect. With an internal secondary and external primary, the phone could remain in operation during battery changes. Yes, this would add a hump, but I think the phone would fit my hand better...

mm.. I really rather have the same size format but a little more juice to it..1800mAh
how much more juice would that be compared to the standard 1500 :O

I have Seidio batteries for my Canon DSRL camera and it works just as good as the original one.

Anyone know of any extended life battery for this phone yet. This is insane this phone has been out a while there should be somethin. I saw the vibrant has a 3000mah, bout to get that and just stick it in without the back cover and throw a silicon case over to hold it in. Saw that amzer has a 1600 but thats almost not worth it.

In the last 12 months, they have 3 bad reviews. Doesn't really mean anything to me, and I care even less knowing their products are fairly decent since I own some stuff of theirs for my Blackberry.

Who proof reads these things?
"Samsung launches the Power Pack EBB-U10 for the Galaxy S i9000 in Germany. The Power Pack is an external battery that attaches to the back of the phone basicallt and offers 8.5 hours talk time and 500 hours of talk time."
So is that 508.5 hours of talk time?

5400mAhr battery review - GNote

I've seen a few posts about spare / replacement batteries for the Galaxy Note. This one is about the Mugen Power 5400mAh Extended Battery (HLI-N7000XL) specifically designed for the Note (N7000 / International model). This is an internal battery, not a plug-in external unit.
To be clear, I'm not a professional reviewer and have no vested interests in Mugen. This is not a scientific review but based on my actual experience. For a more controlled scientific analysis of battery discharge time bv the minute, or whatever, you'll need to look elsewhere. However I believe it's real life experiences which really matter.
I tend to pick up first impressions of a product based on the visual quality of the packaging, case finish, instructions, etc. The Mugen product did not disappoint at this stage. It was simply packaged but effective in protecting the contents and easy to get into. The instructions where easy to read and make it clear that it's necessary to fully charge and discharge the battery for 3 or 4 times before it carries a full charge. This took well over week to achieve due to the long life of the battery between charges!
The Mugen battery is, as you might expect, physically larger and heavier than the stock Samsung Galaxy Note battery. But the increased size offers in excess of a doubling in capacity so with normal use needs much less frequent recharging. Indeed the main points of my comparison are size/weight, longevity, and price/value.
Physical Size and Weight
The thickness of Mugen 5400mAh battery at around 13mm is a fraction over twice that of the standard 2500mAh Samsung Note battery. This means the stock rear cover has to be replaced by a deeper one to accommodate the larger battery. The Mugen battery comes complete with the larger cover, which also incorporates a neat flip-out side stand. This turned out to be a handy addition and one I increasingly found myself using. The replacement case felt to be of at least as good quality as the original and fitted perfectly. The overall thickness of the Note roughly doubled so the overall effect isn't as sexy as the thin original, but in practise I found the Note was easier to hold, particularly when out and about. The Mugen case was also slightly pimpled, similar to the original, which gave a feeling of confidence that it wasn't going to slip out of my hand.
On to the battery itself. The weight of the stock Samsung Note and battery is around 180 grams. The Mugen 5400 and Note weighed in at around 240 grams. This represents an overall 25% increase in weight. In practise the heavier battery slightly changed the weight balance of the Note but after picking up and using the Note a few times I hardly noticed it. It did feel heavier when in my pocket but not uncomfortably so. I also found I could no longer slide the Note into some of my smaller pockets. To quote a great Yorkshire friend of mine: "You get owt for nowt", which in this case basically means if you want a larger capacity battery it'll take up more space and weigh a bit more! (This is almost true because Mugen do also market a slightly larger capacity standard sized battery at the original size.)
Longevity
First, just in case you don't know what mAh means: It stands for milli-Amp hour and basically it's a measure of battery electrical capacity or storage 'size'. Everything else being equal, the bigger the number the longer the electrical power should last. The issue is that for many non manufacturer supplied batteries everything else is not equal. The inequalities range from mislabelling/over ambitious claims (I call it lying), to poor battery design such that it overheats or leaks or just fails sooner than it should (some might call them cr*p batteries). Of course such inferior batteries are usually cheaper to buy!
I tested the stock Samsung Galaxy Note 2500mAh battery with WiFi and GPS permanently enabled and sync set to 30 minutes. I used the Note frequently throughout the day for 2G (voice and text), WiFi and 3G surfing, Facebook, Twitter, newsfeeds, email, diary and the occasional game. The battery was charged overnight using the USB from my Desktop, and so started the day at 100%. By 15:00 it was down to 30%. By 19:00 it was down to 10%.
I then did the same using the Mugen 5400mAh battery. By 15:00 on Day 1 the charge remaining was down to 70%. It reached 40% at 12:00 on Day 2 and 13% by 19:00 on day 2. Wow! This was over a doubling in elapsed time over the standard battery.
Real life experience:
The above test reflects much heavier use than I'd normally make of the Note during a typical weekday, where I'd see the stock battery at around 20% at 23:00 each day. At weekends I usually have to top-up the charge during late afternoon or risk running out.
Using the Note as I would more normally, but with the Mugen 5400mAh battery, I found that I used GPS more (I do a lot of walking and track my route) without worrying about running out of power. I was not having to think about saving power for later use as I knew there was plenty available. I also didn't have to top-up charge during the day at all. The Mugen battery comfortably lasted two days and sometimes three before reaching the 10% to 20% mark.
Price and Value
The RRP for the stock Samsung 2500mAh battery is around £20. This equates to 0.8 pence per mAh.
The RRP for the Mugen 5400mAh battery is £63 ($99) at time of writing. This equates to 1.16 pence per mAh. This price includes the replacement back cover.
So £ per mAh of capacity the Mugen is not a cheaper option, but it's all about usability. For instance you could always buy a second stock battery and manage the charging of two batteries at once, which means you'd also need to invest in a desktop charger at around £15, and be powering off the Note mid afternoon each day to swap out the flat battery. I'd soon get fed up with doing that!
For me and the way I use the Note this is a JDI. Just Do It (buy the 5400mAh Mugen). The few cons are far outweighed by the pros, and on the occasions when I want to show off the Note or make it a little more inconspicuous I can simply pop back in the stock battery and cover. But when I do I'd soon go back to using the 5400!
Details of the Mugen 5400mAh battery can be found on their site at mugen-power-batteries .com
I'll continue to use the battery and come back at some point with my experience of how well it stands up after prolonged use.

I'd love to see some real world pictures of it on your phone if possible. I'd be interested in this for when traveling.

I caved.
Used discount code MUGENRULEZ for 7% off.
On backorder, but I don't need it right away anyways. Will carry it as my backup.

Good review mate Mugen Power is Awesome
post some battery usage pictures

Nicely done. Mine works pretty well, but I miss having a case to occlude the vol/power buttons, otherwise I'll accidentally press things whilst gaming. Apparently there's a couple of generic extended battery cases on ebay, so I'll give them a punt.

I have also bought the same battery, and another thing to take into equation is the excellent customer service of mugen. Fast and efficient

I've found these photos of the Mugan back cover for the 5400mAhr mounted on a Note.

Awesome. Thanks for the review. I went on their website to buy one and figured they have a competition running to win the same battery:

There have been quite a few discussions about how the "official Samsung" eBay batteries are just fakes that are made to look convincingly like Samsung OEM batteries, but aren't.

I always enjoy melting a £400 appliance with a £4 aftermarket battery. I could compare it to using a cheap 350W PSU in a top of the range gaming PC, you're going to see some smoke at some point.

Awesome review! Video Review Upcoming!
Hey everyone. Mugen is sending me over one of these babies to review for you guys on YouTube. Stay Tuned!
I do REAL WORLD reviews on YouTube where I cover every day practical use of devices, cases, and accessories. Yup, I actually tell you what it is like to use a device or accessory instead of just telling you the specs like many reviewers (cough) lol.

Hi angelofmusic, first of all let me ask you what your address is so that I can give it to my employer, and he can send you the bill, as I have just killed 32min of my working time by watching your review......hehe
Now on a more serious note, I have no prejudice against women, but I was surprised when I click on the link that you have provided and find out you look like a 15 year old girl, which will look great in her 40s
I just hope that you would be living in the UK or even better in Belgium, so that the USA related part would not be as irrelevant to me.
All in all, great review. I find it strange that you did not come up when I was searching for reviews of this device. I thought I was them all, but apparently the day that my G.NOTE arrived from Amazon I saw your video. Well better late than never, and I can't hide that I was very pleased when you said that Amazon was a good choice for buying this device.
Well I better go back to work

Hi angelofmusic, you did not get my joke . In the beginning of the review you talk about your age, and you say that you might look young now but that means that you're going to look great when you'll be in your 40's. I knew that you were 23, as you have said it on youtube. The fact that I said that you look young, was a compliment (maybe not yet, but in 4 to 5 years you'll be jumping of joy inside when someone tells you that you look like a teenager)
As for the review, I liked your stile. I just got my Note today, and I am still trying to figure out what to do with it. The battery is at 46% after the initial setup of my gmail accounts and installation of some important applications like whatsapp
The important questions I have atm is, should I charge or should I wait. Here in Belgium its almost 2:40 so I might just charge it and go to bed. But too difficult to sleep when I just got to unpack my new toy and the neighbour is having a very loud party. Might just be faith telling me to stay up all night and play with my new device.
I will maybe look at the insurance that you got for your device. I have never insured a device before, but with an almost 2 year old running around the house I fear that not even my Otterbox commuter and careful placement of the phone will be enough.

Wtf? New Anker battery doesn't fit S3

I bought an Anker battery a week ago and it just arrived. I'm trying to fit it in and it doesn't fit at all. It is too wide and the bottom sections don't align properly.
I got it from Amazon and I'm sure its a genuine battery because of that.
I just can't believe it doesn't fit. Has this happened to anybody else?
I'm extremely disappointed with this. I was planning on upgrading to an S5 in a few months and figured I'd probably buy a new Anker battey with it but I can't believe this one doesn't even fit my phone.
I've included pictures:
http://imgur.com/a/eXOCH

I think it's because it's 4400mAh, stock battery is 2100 so that one's going to be significantly larger. I'm pretty sure at that size they're supposed to come with a case that can house the battery with the phone.

Its definitely supposed to be bigger than the default battery but I checked videos online, it is supposed to snap into place just like the old battery. Extended batteries fit the same space but stick out farther so you need to use the provided case.
This battery DOES NOT line up with the phone along the bottom edge. It just doesn't. From Youtube videos, the batteries other people have line up and snap in. Because it doesn't actually fit into the battery slot, I can't even use the provided case.
It is very messed up and I'm just in disbelief because I can't find any record of any other person online with the same problem.

Contact Anker. I've heard their support is very good. It looks like you got a note 3 or galaxy S4 battery accidentally.

Looks to me like a case of a mis-labeled item. I ordered the same battery about a year and a half ago and all was fine. Im sure Anker will sort it out for you, they have a great support staff.

Well no e-mail response unfortunately.
Going to have to call them.

Email support is unbelievably slow.
Takes more than 1 full day to get a response, takes like 2 full days just to have them ask me a question and for me to respond.

Just forgot about this thread and wanted to update.
Anker was nice over e-mail and gave me the option of a replacement or a refund.
I chose a full refund because I was planning on upgrading to a Galaxy S5 anyway which I now have.

ZeroLemon LG Nexus 5 ZeroShock Rugged Black Battery Case + 3500mAh Battery Review

Hello everyone! First and foremost I would like to thank Zerolemon for sending me the product up for review. As the title say, it's a rugged black battery case with a 3500mAh Battery pack.
This is an honest review to help Zerolemon improve future products, but also give an idea to others of what I think about the product.
Everything pretty much works as expected and I can't really complain, all the buttons work like a charm and the ports are easy to use when needed.
Here are what I think are PROS and CONS about the ZeroLemon for LG Nexus 5.
PROS:
* It feels sturdy, I doesn't feel like it's an issue and it's actually rather comfortable to hold.
* Takes a beating like a tank (I can almost imagine running over it with my car, and it would still be in working condition).
* The phone lasts much longer! Battery won't be an issue for me anymore, but I wish the mAh was higher so I could charge it less.
CONS:
* Too big (that's what she said)! No but really, I wouldn't want to walk around with something sticking out of my pocket (I have the Zerolemon for the LG G4 that I purchased and it doesn't even stick out as much).
* I hate the plugs for the ports (personal opinion)! They tend to get bad as time passes as I had the Zerolemon for the Samsung Galaxy S5 with similar plugs for the ports. It was just a real headache after a few months.
If there are any questions that you have, then please feel free to ask!
Please support Zerolemon so that they can keep making more options for other phones as most of their products are worth the money, you won't be disappointed!

I'm not sure, It depends on how many apps you have running in the background and how often/long you use the phone. It does help through out the day though if you're running low on battery.

the question is where to buy said battery case. I have a feeling that Zerolemon discontinued this product and all you can find are old leftovers. It pops on Amazon once in a while

1st Extended Battery on the Streets (That I am aware of...)

6400 mAh on Amazon, have not heard of the name before. I am still thinking about ZeroLemon, just putting this out here for those that like a smaller battery (less than 10,000 mAh)
https://www.amazon.com/Perfine-Exte...36917&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+v20+extended+battery

I may bite the bullet and buy it just to do a sort of review for everyone here. Double battery life sounds good. It already makes it through a school day (8am-3pm) and is left on 15% with a lunch top up so this will probably help out in that aspect.

Ah ok, did not think to look in there, thought it was solely focused on ZL. I know no reviews I can find either, but as you can see my search skills are not top notch at times lol. But not sure if 6,400 will scratch my itch, I eat the LG battery up in not time, mainly because I keep the screen at 100% 24/7. Plus, with my Note 4 it worked great and not in mind of trying a new brand.

Phenomenal product. Yes, big and heavy. Stick it in my jacket pocket and even sometimes let my friends use it at the same time as I'm using it because it has 2 usb and 3 micro usb ports.

I'm interested, but what kind of grip does that have? I don't want a slippery back with no option for a case. I'm also not to keen on silver. Wish it was a soft touch, grippy black back.

Buy it. It's on Amazon. Means free returns. You could dress it up with my little pony stickers. Perhaps some rainbows. Anything is possible in the age of stickers

I looked at it. If bought today wouldn't be here till February.

My take away was if you choose standard shipping it would be here by 1 Feb, meaning there are expedited shipping options. Don't think they can Amazon Prime it because coming direct for China.

Phenomenal product. Yes, big and heavy. Stick it in my jacket pocket and even sometimes let my friends use it at the same time as I'm using it because it has 2 usb and 3 micro usb ports.

Thanks for that, however, do have a portable battery I use today, would like to have it all wrapped up into one thing to carry. With the portable coming with me when the wife is on a shoe hunting trip to ensure I can do my mind numbing activities.

Not too sure how much expedited shipping would cost but I can look into it.

I had one of these in my LG G3. Same brand. Really good.

I may bite the bullet and buy it just to do a sort of review for everyone here. Double battery life sounds good. It already makes it through a school day (8am-3pm) and is left on 15% with a lunch top up so this will probably help out in that aspect.

That's some pretty below average battery life you got there. I get through my school day from 6am to 4pm (including bus rides) with 50-65% left. This is with constant snapchat and music usage and occasional videos and games.

im getting about 5-6 hours sot on average. That is with data, wifi, and sync on. I also turn on location only when i need it. My highest was 7 hours with only wifi on.

I'm curious about it but if it's not going to ship until February I had might as well wait for the Zerolemon.

I just ordered the hyperion today i will let you know how it works out. I should get it jan. 20th
I was going to get the zero lemon, but honestly i like the look of this one as its not as bulky and brick like as the zero lemon. I know zero lemon is the know battery of choice, but i will take a chance as i have heard and read good thing about hyperion as well.
