The only way the battery could be "huge" is if Mugen develops an alternative design shell that replaces the original.
Here's their extended battery solution for the Sensation XL. It doubles the thickness of the phone. For every phone Mugen offers it for, it attaches where the original back cover goes. It would have to be a replacement shell on the One X.

There's no room in the One X chassis to expand the physical size of the battery so they could probably get no more than 25% more amperage in the same foot print if they went with just a more powerful than stock solution. The problem with any solution that requires opening the phone and using third party parts is that your warranty is voided.
If they offer a pogo connector solution that would be pretty cool. The only one available's pretty crappy so something high quality from Mugen would be popular.

Honestly, **** warranty if I can get an extra 25% out of my phone. Needless to say but I would jump at the chance if some reputable company comes out with a replacement internal battery for it, but I don't think it's very likely.

They put out a poll asking people if they'd want the option you described. That was in April and there's been no news since. So at least we know their working on something.

The latest news is they are going to release two version of battery , one is which doesnt increase the phone size but have higher capacity and another version is which will increase phone size and have more than 4000mah capacity.

The only way to increase capacity without the size would be to replace the battery internally with another one with a higher capacity. This of course means removing the back cover plus removing the motherboard to get at the battery connector to replace it. This isn't for the faint hearted and could cause damage to the phone in the process, not to mention invalidate the warranty. Seems odd they promote such a system to increase capacity?
Perhaps they mean, 'doesn't increase the phone size much' by having a much slimmer lower capacity increase using a back cover.

Hi guys. I searched but I don't think Anyone has asked this before. Ok, this may seem dumb and i'm sorry but, I'm wanting to get a better battery for my Excalibur but have a question first. Would it be possible to use a battery that's higher than 1050mah and 3.7v? If so, what's the maximum volts/amps I can use without frying the Excalibur? I've found a few batteries that would fit but are a lot more powerful than the original Excalibur battery.
Thanks for any help you all can provide.
Battery capacity is limited by the size and the chemistry used. Li-Ion delivers 3.7 volt - you cannot change that and the device will not work with others. You are simply stuck with what is available. Try to get an original battery, they usually supply the best capacity.
Cheap 3.rd party only brag about their capacity that they never deliver - they simply lie to you straight face. If you are curious (and have some knowledge about the topic) follow my signature.
i am not advising this and do it your own risk, but, i used to use the battery from my htc s310, i had to use a little pressure to pop it in the dash. but once its in, it gives you a longer battery life than the original dash battery. you cant charge it while its the dash though, you have to put back in the s310 to charge it.
Thanks Tobbbie for the useful info. Much appreciated!
Kachman, I don't think I'd want to go that far as to having to switch a battery between phones every time I need to charge it. >< I've done some research since my last post and now have another question - I've heard about the 1300mah batteries but I don't want to have to get a bigger door for my phone. Is the 1300mah okay to use for the S620 and will it fit in with the factory door? If not, what is the absolute highest that will still fit in the original door?
Thanks.
Why not just make a battery hack? USB plug soldered to a homemade battery pack. Then plug it into the USB port on the bottom on the phone.
Each battery is 1.5 volts (AAA, AA, C, D), thus you would need at least three connected in series. 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 volts. I would think the extra .8 volts may not hurt the phone. Electrical components have a tolerance for voltage variances.
Only way to find out is to test it, unless you take the extra mile to design something to reduce the voltage before it goes into the phone.
I remember Stylez advocating long time ago for a prominent Simplo 1550 mAh battery. May be you can find it.

Tertuliano
for HTC, the maximum value I know is about 2000mAh

I have a standard 960 mAh and the 1550 mAh in my S620, They both came with the phone when it was new (From BT) The 1550 mAh is much better (Longer lasting) but does require a new back cover which is HUGE compared to the smaller one.
No idea where to buy the battery or cover from though, Sorry.

Can you re-paste your pictures? They can´t be seen.
The mail notify I have on this thread had the links inside - but they don't work for non registered users. Just upload to the forum directly (despite there is a resize happening it is better than nothing) if you have no other host.

Hey Vovantuong, how many mha provides the Nokia batteries. Does it makes any difference the fact that pin 3 doesn´t hit any contactor?
sorry for late replay. battery BL5c = 1020mAh. BL5CB = 800mAh
pin 3 not contactor Nokia battery because if contactor, s620 can not boot
note: when use Nokia battery can not charge
i use this method and satisfied
So far, to buy 3rd party batteries for the SGS2, IMHO you either pay through your nose for silly cult brands like Mugen, or try your luck with the crazy capacities variants in ebay.
While shopping for SGS2 accessories on www.taobao.com, I came across this brand of batts called NOHON. I did some checking, and decided that the company was somewhat reliable (www.nohon.hk).
I ordered 2 pieces of the 1700mah at USD$10.11 each (http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10849285537), with another est USD$5 shipping internationally to me (consolidated with a few other items I was buying via www.taobaotrends.com).
Here's pictures of the goods. Taken with my SGS2 as my dslr is currently elsewhere.

It even came with a battery holder.
So far, after 6.5 hours it's used 17%. Usage included
- 15 min of web surfing
- 3 SMSes received, 3 SMSes sent
- 3 x 1 min of call
- push mail for 3 accounts
- whatsapp and viber on full time
*logged at 5 min interval, hence the stepladder graph. The usage of the screen is denoted below, but not an accurate reflection as some uses may have been between the points logged.
Extrapolated, it should last me as long, if not longer than a original Samsung Batt. This totally unscientific method puts the capacity to be around, if not greater than 1650mah.
I'll be using the batt a few more days, and I'll give my further input then. At first blush this is a good battery that I've gotten.
Not sure where else you may find the batts, but Taobao.com's the only place I found selling the stuff.
thanks. I think its the same battery that momax have
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yes, I think so too.
Probably the OEM for both Momax and Mugen, actually.
I'm curious about the long term capacity of these batteries. I've used many 3rd party batteries in the past which had excellent capacity during the first hundred or so cycles.. then decreased dramatically afterwards
what's the point of a extra 50mAh with a non genuine battery that may cause damage to the phone?!?!

I generally just stay away from the really cheap 3rd party batteries. There are quality 3rd party batteries out there.. Mugen or Yoobao for example
http://www.powertrekk.com/
This does look pretty amazing although you would want to be a wealthy enough man to purchase this at €199 it's not even on sale yet but i can see this doing well with people who spend a lot of time outdoors away from electricity like explorers,etc.
Something like this would be great at a festival or if you were just out and about for a period of time and your phone died and nowhere near electricity and you needed it charged up.
What do people think to this?
I think hydrogen is harder to find than sunlight.
Seeing as they Don't even say how it works under the section "how it works" and seeing as hydrogen or Cole fusion is not invented yet to a point of usefulness (and would not be invented just by some company just to power USB devices...).
I'm going to go with it a Battery on one side and a tank that holds water and dose nothing on the other side till proven other wise... Also wouldn't that vary easily become a Boom, a vary big boom?
I Call Shenanigans!
I don't know about the ins and outs folks i just seen this website and had a look and it does look like a superb invention.
Cool piece of tech, it's just a mini fuel cell but to be honest I think practically you're better off with a big battery. I have a usb one with a 5000 mAh capacity and it's smaller than my phone and it was only cheap. Gives me 4 whole charges of my phone and I'm never not near a wall socket for any longer.

looks a bit more affordable for sure,please report back and let us know how this is.
This is the one I got:

It's thicker than the SGS2, about the same width and a bit shorter. It's good, holds it charge well and does seem to hold up to the 5000 mAh spec quite well

Hii everyone..can we use the galaxy note battery in S2..? is there any size difference..? If its same then a 2500mAh battery can increase the battery life of the phone..

I thought this post would have been more productive such as you having found out that the battery sizes are same with different capacity. Unfortunately you ain't got jack!
IMO though, there isn't a chance that the note's battery will fit being that it is a 5" device so I presume there is more space for a larger battery.

Lol, I am sure he meant the dimensions..
As an example, SGS had 1500mah , but when SGS [GT-I9003] came with 1650 mah, it was possible to fit its battery in the SGS [GT-I9100]..
This was probably what OP was asking.

Don't mind the flamers. A good general rule is, the higher the mah, the bigger it HAS to be with our current technology and manufacturing methods.
Don't be fooled by fake batteries saying they have much more capacity than the original without adding considerable size... they are always low quality fakes that usually have even lower capacity than the original :O
In general its best to stay away from cheap batteries on eBay, but there's one exception. The anker 1900mah batteries fit into the stock battery door (same slim phone profile) but provide a bit more mah. I personally tested them and they are great value. 2x 1900mah batteries + one external charger for around $20!! Now I never have to plug in my phone I just keep one battery in the charger, one in my phone, one in my pocket (I have three, including the original). Just make sure you get the original anker charger, not the cheap black charger. There have been problems with those I heard.
Note- I am not affiliated with anker just trying to get the word out feels nice not caring about battery life.
Considering the Samsung 2000mAh battery is physically bigger than the stock 1650mAh battery, there's no way the 2500mAh battery will be the same size.
Having said that, the pin and physical layout might fit (i haven't tried), but you won't be able to fit the back cover assuming the battery is thicker.
No, it is a different sized battery. Same width and depth but a good centimeter longer.
(A friend of mine has the note, first thing I tried was 'borrowing' the battery!)
Nice thought, and maybe as an external mod, but it would never fit inside the Sii casing.
I was wondering if it possible to change the oneplus one battery with the oneplus two?
I found in AliExpress a battery and it looks with the same connectors
is it possible to exchange the batteries?
uptade-
the battery is smaller but it looks that it could fit, my battery works great for now so I won’t take the risk and its glued very well (with the double sided tape)
I was afraid of doing damage to my phone
the connector looks the same so maybe it's possible if you glue the new battery so it won’t move
conclusion= not advised, better put a new oneplus one battery
you can connect the oneplus two battery but the phone doesn't show its charging
thanks to catxda and necosino

If the connectors are the same way and it isn't any wider then it should be possible
Transmitted via BACON
but is there a way to find out if it will fit inside the oneplus one or it could be bigger
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/OnePlus+One+Battery+Replacement/30417
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWwJOXn0gsM
good question, i am also interested, cause my battery life is getting less and less. It would be nice to know, if the oneplus two battery fits in the oneplus one. This would boost the phone a lot.
ok I ordered a oneplus two battery wish me good luck and I'll update here in a month
It would be nice to know if its possible. But as long as there are still original Oneplus One battery replacements on the marked, i woudn't risk testing it at all.

Also not sure but curious to know the answer
Curious too, waiting for your answer !
for just 200mah more? thats not even noticeable.
besides, the weak battery life comes from badly optimized 5.1/6.0 roms. (try 4.4 if u want battery life like on day #1)

got the battery!! looks the right size. Ill start the replacement soon.I will update with pictures
I have updated my first post
The battery isn't glued to the middle frame....it used double sided tape to stick the battery to the middle frame...the tape is on the right side of the battery (from Oneplus logo to the bottom)....if you want to take out the battery you need to removed it from the left side of the battery first...
last time i check the connector is slightly different...

Yes I know it's only double sided tape, but I'm not going to take my battery out, for now, about the connector can't be sure 100%,I didn't try to connect it to the phone, maybe I will try change it only in the future when my battery won't be as it used to be.
