Has anyone ever tried Mugen Battery on our Vibrants?

Has anyone ever tried Mugen extended 1600mAh battery on our phones? I'm thinking of getting on and I want to know if its worth it.

Why get a 1600mah when theres a 1650mah by T-Mobile?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Because no one can find the friggin 1650s. Even the post dedicated to them doesn't have more than a dead ebay link for them.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.

why get the 1650 when u can get 2800 on amaZON for under 20.00 us?

Well anything higher than 1600mah will cause the phone to get really fat.
I posted link above.

fat battery
I got one of those fat batteries from amazon and it doesn't seem to last that much longer than a standard battery. It also makes the phone look pregnant.

I am using a 3.7VDC 3500mAh Li-ion Battery for my vibrant and it lasts me for 2 days and a half without charge, Of course the battery is a little bulkier then the normal 1500mAh, & it comes with a back Case, its worth the cost and its for only $16 Bucks on ebay. Its worth the money Sweet

I got mine yesterday, but did yours feel like it didn't work at first? Cause I feel like it doesn't work, but I heard its gonna work after a week.

Well actually the battery was working fine when I received it. What you want to do is once you have the battey, deplete it till it fully drains out of power. Then recharge it with the charger they supplied you, don't charge it throu the phone. Once you see its fully charged. Chharge it for at least 1 hour more and u will get the full capacity of the battery. If your vibrant has a good kernel u will be set for 2 days straight. Hope that helps. Am using overstocked kernel

Oh okay, but the one I got only came with a battery and the back case for it, I don't know what you mean by "...charger they supplied you." Do you mean the Vibrant charger?

...he said dont charge it through the phone, which is the only way you can use the vibrant charger so that rules that one out, so by process of elimination and a lil bit of thinking the only option left is his came with a charger for the battery, probably a small dock type deal.
Just gotta think a little not too much to ask

i apologize for the late reply, I should of been more specific with the charger i was talking about. It is a USB/AC Wall charger for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Sprint Epic 4G, AT&T Captivate i897,T-Mobile Vibrant T959. You can view it on ebay, Amazon etc.

[Q] battery

k im thinking about getting an extended battery for my incredible. Should i but the htc extended battery or seido 3150 extended battery. looked at the reviews and the htc had a lot better reviews. Or should i just stick with my battery and try to consume less power?

It depends on you, I personally don't need an extended battery because I charge 3/4 of the way through the day. If you can't do that then I would get the HTC if its cheaper, I have heard some good things about it from friends. The sedio seems to lose charge capacity faster then the HTC ( Max mah charge)
Or you could buy the 3500 sedio, its 10$ on Amazon. I have one coming

I used the Sedio for over a year and lost no unreasonable capacity for any lithium ion battery. I think the problem here is people don't reset their battery stats or just assume its charged when the light flips green when its really not. I wouldn't buy a battery from HTC for a dime after how poorly the stock battery performed in mine.

The 3500 has no issues I'm aware of, the 3150 was what my friends got and after 1 year of usage it only charged to 2100 mah.
Forget I said anything about HTC, just get the 3500 sedio its only 10$

It was never really $10. There was a seller that was selling fake knockoff's for $10, then amazon caught them and they're sending out refunds to people who bought from them and who don't want to keep the knockoff's.
The 3500 packs a hefty load to your phone physically. Depending how heavily you use your phone the 2150mAh from HTC may be the one you're looking for.
I also use NAV heavily throughout the week and with that battery I never had an issue with it dying out.
Although.. right now I'm using the 1900mAh that still fits in the stock cover. I can still notice a different from the 2150 but even the 1900mAh gets me through the day with all my GPS and network usage.
The 1300 is just a wimpy battery, I was constantly in the red nearing the end of the day and sometimes it died on my if I didn't give it a good 15-25 minute charge sometime during the day.

What company makes the 1900mAh? How is your performance given the time youve had it? I'm noticing on my Seido 1750mAh, some random reboots in the past month that I know aren't rom related. I'm thinking of making a switch to a different battery although I don't want a bigger sized battery.

Will these batteries work with the regular battery cover of the Atrix 4G or does it require a new cover like the mugen ones. If it needs a new cover thumbs down! If not I might buy 1
Let me know !
Also do you have any issues with the 2300mah battery's stats not reading correctly....I read that 2000mah is the maximum in which the phones hardware can read. If your 2300mah is reading correctly that's interesting.

I used these - very bad.
My atrix was not able to get actual charge state. Could see 100% and then suddenly fall to 0% and phone switches off. Or can see 5% for hours after full night charge.

T989 Slim extended battery?

I'm at work and I got a customer that just asked me about extended batteries. I told her they're usually fat batteries that come with special battery doors.. but usually at least give 25-50% more battery life. Then she asked if there were any slim extended batteries. I didn't know how to answer her and all my gsearches came up with 3000MaH plus big boys. All I found was he Mugen Power 2000MaH slim battery. You guys know of any other options out there?

I am currently using an Anker battery that I bought off Amazon. It has slightly extended battery life at 2200 mAh. It is the same size as the OEM battery so no custom back case or chunkyness sticking out the back. Anker sells the single batteries or they sell a double pack with an external battery charger on Amazon, quite useful. I believe their products are on sale right now.

The Samsung galaxy nexus 2150 mAh battery fits in the s2 without any problems. Slight bulge on the battery cover though.

Anker 2200 mAh works perfect for me. I've been using 2 I ordered from Amazon for about 4 months. I get about 10 hours heavy usage time. I get well over a day on when I take it easy. Juice defender is an excellent addition to any cell as well. I would advise you to be careful when taking the battery out of the charger so you don't break the plastic that separates the cells. It can cause problems charging through the cell phone. Either way it's a great buy and I highly recommend.

You can charge them either way. Personally I use the external and the phone. I was just saying be a bit careful when you take your battery off the external charger. I have one battery that I can only charge through the external since I broke the small plastic separator... not a big deal though. It still works properly.

No NFC support in most (if not all) aftermarket batteries

Yes, most aftermarket batteries (like the one WangLung linked to), if not all, don't have NFC support as the chip is located in the battery. The same goes for the ATT i777, but not the international i9100.
You can tell on many of these by the 4 contacts- one is for the NFC. This is why a i9100 battery (with only 3 contact heads) will work with a i777 phone (that has 4 contact prongs) - the connector for the NFC would just be touching plastic.
Don't know about the overcharging protection though.

I have the Anker 2200 MAh slim extended battery in my phone and it works great! I usually get an extra hour of on-screen time than I would with the stock battery.

I purchased an Anker 2200 mAh slim batter 2 weeks ago, and I have been nothing but impressed! This battery rocks, I get 2 full days with average/light use (phone calls, 3 hours screen time).
Well worth the investment for 2 battery's + charger for around $25!

The one for $20 includes two batteries and a charger, while the $12 one only a single battery. For what you get with the $20 one, it never hurts to have more than one battery, especially if you're away from the charger for a whole day and you're using your phone often.
I do not own the Anker extended battery myself, as I am doing fine with the stock battery and I like having NFC ready if needed. But it does seem like a great battery, especially for the price.

Extended battery with factory footprint?

Anyone know of a reputable extended battery that fits with the standard battery door? I don't need much more...maybe 4000mah or so would get it to go all day with how I use it. 6400 and 9000ish are way more than I need and I'm not interested in doubling (at least) the thickness of the phone. Saw one on some chinese website at 3500mah, but pretty sure I don't trust it. I have the zerolemon replacements and I swap out as I go, but I don't like carrying them with me. I like to travel light. Thanks.

Im curious to know this too.
Ive had bad experiences with buying extended, but similar to stock size batteries. They tend to actually be lower capacity than stock... cheap pieces of crap with false labels. (Ex: my old phone's battery was 1650mAh. I bought three different 2000mAh batteries over the phone's lifetime. One was actually 800mAh, one was 1000mAh, and one was something around 900mAh.)

3 ways.
First, there was the fact that my phone went from 8hrs of typical usage to only 4hrs with same usage patterns and ROM.
EDIT: I had a Hyperion battery and it actually only gave me 3hrs!!!!! I also had a Bluegate Kobe and it only gave me 4. The third battery was an EVO and it gave me about 6, but it wasn't as good as stock.
A second way was that I used an app to measure my mAh (don't have the app name right now. Not installed now and can't find it, but it's a popular one).
EDIT: The app was Battery Monitor Widget. I used the stock battery first to get a base mAh based on my actual usage over a week. Then used the 3rd party batteries and did the same. The 3rd party batteries came out to be FAR less mAh than stock.
The third way only applies to one of the batteries (EDIT: The Hyperion I had). I removed the label and printed on the actual battery under the label was the true mAh, which was half of what the label said. (The sticker said 2200mAh, but the battery said 1100mAh)
Plus all the labels were cheap stickers. The batteries looked more legit online than they dI'd in person. In person, they look homemade and felt lighter than the stock battery. (MUCH lighter).
EDIT: To be clear, all of this was with my old phone, a Galaxy S2.
Also, that Battery Monitor Widget app didn't seem to work with the OGP, which is why I don't have it installed still.

The standard one isn't an extended battery though. It has the same mAh as stock.
EDIT: and the other Zero Lemon (9300mAh) requires a special back cover and makes the phone too thick. Like PS Vita thick!
This forum was made by the OP because they were looking for an extended battery that can use the stock back cover. ;]

Only thing is that they claim it'll last longer than stock (3140mAh), but it's only 2100mAh.
It makes me suspicious because if my past experiences and because my understanding of batteries is that higher mAh = more power.

" they claim it'll last longer than stock (3140mAh), but it's only 2100mAh."
That's one tip-off that there's something wrong here.
The other biggie is that they say the battery is FCC Approved. Which sounds real important, except, the FCC doesn't "approve" batteries in any way I've ever heard of.
The battery business is infamous for outright fakes, counterfeits, and junk. It isn't easy to get real prime-quality products at good prices. And the stuff from unknown vendors? Really, how many reports of battery fires and explosions does it take to make anyone worry about leaving a no-name battery or a no-name-source battery charging while you sleep?
I'd rather carry a hot-shot (USB battery) charger around "just in case".
