Longest lasting battery without bulk? Stock sized? - LG Nitro HD

Do you guys have any recommendation on which battery to get?
especially the one that adds no bulk to the phones?
the 3,800 mah or above are marvelous, but I got this awesome body glove case and I don't want to get rid of it.
I need the stock size battery. I saw one on amazon that goes up to 1900 mAH ish
the 2000 mAH ish from that china website looks cool, but i don't want to order from an annonymous source.
So can anyone give me a battery brand, that's cheap, long lasting, and link to it please? thank you.

Honestly there isn't a better one than the OEM battery without going to an oversized battery. Even though some manufacturers advertise batteries with higher capacities like you mentioned, those batteries consistently underperform and are almost always worse than the OEM batteries in actual battery life.

The stock battery with cm9 and ho!no!'s kernel has decent battery life.

[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.

no I'm using 1900mah. It still fits in stock covering but I can definitely tell a decrease in life, I just got it so I could put the siedeo active (white) case on it.

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.

I have read that before..are really that good ?
Whats the different between a 1550 mAh Mugen Power battery for 30$ and a random 1550 mAh battery from eBay for 10$?
some ebay sellers sells unbranded or fake batteries (would say 1800mah but is actually 1300 etc..), usually with no return/exchange policies specially the cheap ones like 3 pcs for 10$.
mugen pretty much you get what you pay for.
Man that's nice
I don't have issues with the stuff I got from them. I saw on their facebook page that they change the batteries if they're working...which is good and they have 1 year warranty on stuff. So far I'm going with them. Got 2 days on average usage on my Nexus
looks like I found the answer to my question. will check them out, thanks!

Personally for me the big difference is their brand presence across all available customer service channels (twitter, facebook, email, phone etc...) and high quality. I'm using my 4th battery from Mugen at the moment and totally happy with it and with their service.
Also I received a reply from their rep that actually makes sense - they say that their price allows them to give all the listed services to the customers, and it is simply not possible to make a good battery for 10$ using top technology and aftersales support.
Anyways, there's many info here about them, you can research a little.
While it would be nice to have an extended battery, I wouldn't want to make that change because it would make my phone heavier and clunkier with the extended battery backdoor. Another big downside is that my case wouldn't fit anymore. To solve my own battery-life issues I keep a Duracell Powerhouse with me when I know that I'm going to need extra juice.

You can always choose a slim extended battery that fits your original phone socket and does not require an extra back.

I have heard that the "extended batteries" that are the same size as stock are counterfeit in the sense that they don't actually offer more capacity. Lots of scams and shady companies around extended batteries...
It's 'Moogin' baby. Seriously, this is just a name tag being placed on the battery. It looks too ugly for me to put it on my Skyrocket.
will check them out, thanks!
Mugen Power batteries are great if you can afford the entrance fee. Yeah, it's not some cheap knockoff from Ebay, but the quality and battery life is worth it. I recommend them. Here's a review I did of the extended batteries on the T-Mobile G2 if anyone's interested

Going to be replacing my Inspire 4g Soon but i think i might buy one of these Mugens just so the phone can actually be a backup current battery in it just cant keep a charge worth anything with how i use a phone
Thanks for the review

Plus one for Mugen from my side. I've been recommending them for quite a long time now. Some experience to share: ordered a battery from them a month ago and nothing got delivered. I contacted them on facebook, and it turned out that the post lost my parcel...I was a little nervous cuz there was more than 150$ in it, but Mugen replaced all of it in a matter of days. Not just great batteries but awesome support as well.
Very good battery. Works flawlessly.

2430mAh batter - look legit?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_2408wt_1141
I'm sceptical of ebay, however 2430mAh without changing the dimensions of the phone, they have great feedback. Will this give me an extra 38% or so of battery life? Or is it probably just a sham...
looks interesting, the price is skeptikal but the posting of it seems legit.. at least in my own opinion, don't really know until someone orders it and runs a battery test
and just a FYI, the genuine 2000 mAh extended battery makes the phone bigger but barely... and the phone feels a lot better with the extended battery.
I'd consider buying it, really wouldn't mind someone else's opinion first though. I already have the 2200 man battery, so I'm not quite sure if this would be worth changing for...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
if that battery is not bigger than the gsm 2000mah extended battery(ie it doesnt need a new back cover) theres no way its 2400mah. when it comes to batteries oem is the highest quality so an after market one will need to be bigger to give more juice. you are right to be skeptical about aftermarket battery they always bs their mah ratings.

the battery in the link is for the gsm nexus.
OP, that does not look legit at all.
Many times these batteries have a label showing a higher capacity...then when you peel it off the true capacity is underneath.
I'd bet its probably fake.

Agree with you although its surprising to me to see how Motorola could fit a 3300 mAh battery on a phone with a pretty slim-profile.

They also made it non-removable as well as ging it a huge bezel and a 4.3 inch screen, all while making it wider and only slightly shorter than the GNex.
This is a scam for sure. It's tempting though. But no.

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.

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.

Samsung's original 2000mah battery is the best. It will make the phone about 2mm Thicker. Battery thickness increases with the capacity. If you dont want your phone to be thicker then you cant have an extended battery. And the original battery is available on ebay

I have the genuine Samsung 2000 and find it very very good after a couple of cycles my battery life has easily doubled and I'm a heavy user. 12 hour working day Wifi/ data on all day bluetooth connection to car 2 hours a day many many calls, sms and emails every day. At the end of 'this' 12 hour shift my battery at around 50%.
I used my 'standard' case with the original back cover cut down to just below the camera to accommodate the extra thickness of the battery, so in my normal case the overall thickness is the same as if using standard battery.
Yes Samsungs 2000 battery is the best for me. Only 2mm more and a huge jump on batteryielife.

Original 2000mah is the best choice. It will give you about 25% plus of what you are getting. The added thickness makes the phone nicer to hold and protects the camera lens.

is it still possible to squeeze a gel case protector over the top, or does that extra 1mm or so prevent it?
The official Samsung 2000mah battery seems a bit pricey where I am. Is the any alternatives that you guys can recommend?
