Mugen 4500mAH Battery+Back

Hi
A 4500mAH Mugen extended battery battery is supposed to be shipping 'soon' for the Note:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...or-samsung-galaxy-note-with-battery-door.html
At that price ($109), i'll be letting someone else sample/report on it first!!
I was expecting the Mugen for the note to be a bit bigger, but it is the same capacity as their extended battery for the S2.

5000mAH Chinese extended battery: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...ith-Back-cover-4pcs-lot-High-wholesalers.html
Chunky!

I've ordered the Mugen. I'll report back on performance in a few weeks once I've got it and cycled it a couple of times.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

And I ordered "el cheapo" from ebay. Will report back once it arrives from HK.

I got the same cheap Chinese battery. Two batteries, wall charger, car USB charger, USB cord - all for around 10 bucks. The batteries are rated at 2500 mA, but get discharged almost twice as fast as the stock one. The wall charger is poor quality, I had to open it to solder the leads back in place.
All that considered, the deal is pretty decent for the price.

With that price, u can buy 3 extra OEM Samsung Note battery 3x2500=7500mah and still keep the thin look on the Note.

I love the Mugen batteries except none of the cases fit. Does anyone know if the bumper cases fit with the bigger batteries??

Buy Sanyo Eneloop 5000mAh, multi purpose mobile charger pack.

I wonder if Mugen is going to make an OEM sized one with 3000 mah Those are usually, price wise, comparable to the original batteries, and have a little more umff to them! But I think 110 dollars for a battery is a little over priced.

On the Mugen Website it now has a product image and it looks like the battery cover has a kickstand. Or is that just a generic image place holder?
**EDIT**
Yes it is a battery cover with built in kickstand. Nice!

And the expanded cover is available in black OR white (or red?), and it looks much better than I would have expected. Still chunky, but might be easier to hold.
EDIT: wonder what the effect is on the external speaker?

I live in Spain, and I have purchased about 4 of these batteries and I have never once paid customs / importation taxes.

Looks good, the only thing that worries me is the real capacity. the 30Euro samsung battery says its 2500mah and its really2450-2500 mah battery. But usually, according to tests from the past. Mugen batteries rarely reach 75 percent of their advertised capacity. And thats a ripoff. Ive been considering buying mugen 3200mah for S2, but then I found out its really a ~2600mah battery for sky high price. I will be surprised if this battery proves to have at least 4000mah in the future when someone does a discharge test on this expensive piece of thing.
P.S. also to the wise guy saying he will buy a cheap ebay 5000mah, those are probably even worse than stock sammy battery with double the thickness.

I've bought some other cheap batteries from eBay. I would suspect it's 3500-4000mah. The one Mugen I've had was close to the advertised capacity. I'd say at least 85%.

Mugen is a dutch company so you wont need to pay custom duties if you are in the EU.

According to their website Mugen are based in China

How much weight does it add to the unit?
Does it make one hand operation more difficult due to extra thickness? I can sort of manage one hand operation with a lanyard currently.

Anyone has bouhgt the Mugen-Battery-Pack and can post some pictures or better still a video?
I'm interested about the dimension/handling of the package and can't find something like that!
Thank's! Best regards!

I'm interested, but it looks lke it will make it pretty thick, and I like the portabilty I have, meaning, I like the fact it fits in my pants pocket without being to bulky. I viewed the phots with the battery and the case it comes with, it will be pretty thick.

MUST HAVE accessories-case, screen protector, stand, external battery charger, stylus

These are the accessories that I chose for my Galaxy Nexus and they all have been home runs without breaking the bank.
$9.99 - this is for a bundle of TPU case, 2 screen protectors, micro-USB data cable, microfibre carry pouch - All worked without a hitch. The screen protector was applied without a hitch and is crystal clear. There were a couple pieces of lint that got stuck on the screen protector while putting it on but were easily removed by putting a piece of tape underneath and removing the lint. And I still have 1 left for when the one I put on ever needs replacement.

$9.99 - Rabbit Mini Portable Stand - I love this stand. It doesn't slide around (has rubber at the bottom of the stabilizer piece - you can see it in the picture - and where the phone sits), it is made out of thick hard plastic material so it is very solid and it comes in its own zip lock pouch. It will hold your phone both vertically and horizontally. The two pieces fit inside one another to be like a large credit card (4.25"x2.55") but of course much thicker (3/16 on an inch).
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051J1JZA
$49.95 - This is AWESOME! It's a New Trent IMP70D 7000mAh external battery charger pack that allows me to charge my Galaxy Nexus phone and my ASUS Transformer tablet. The way it works, you use your Galaxy Nexus charger to charge the IMP70D battery pack. It has 4 LED's that are OFF, blink or become fully lit to show you how much the pack has charged. Once the pack is fully charged all 4 will be fully lit. You can then take the charger with you on the plane, or car, or wherever, and when your phone or tablet runs out of juice, plug the USB cable to the pack, push the ON/OFF switch and charge it. It has a 1A USB port for phones and a 2.1A port for tablets. It also has a rubber pad at the bottom to make sure it does not slide around. The design is very good looking, oozes with luxury and feels very solid. It's 3.4"x4.4" and 0.5" thick and about the weight of my Galaxy Nexus. With this baby you will never run out of battery on those long trips.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002D4IHYM
$4.48 - BTW, I know this is not for the Galaxy Nexus, but New trend is offering 50% off their new IMP62B stylus if you buy any of their external batteries (normal price $8.95). I've been looking for a stylus for my tablet to sign contracts with and this is the best that I've found yet as it really acts like a real pen - meaning it does not stutter like some of the others I tried. And for only $4.50 I jumped at the chance. And it has a regular ink pen to boot.

If you have a prime account with Amazon, all of the above can be purchased with free 2-day shipping. I did and they all arrived super fast. All in all I'm very happy with all of them. And as I said, they did not break the bank.

This is my collection, but not really a must have, but as backup and just lying around in the house.

Need a protective case for extended battery

I recently purchased the Qcell 3650 extended battery for my white Tm0bile sgh2, by far the best purchase I have made in a while. I can charge my phone use it as much as I want and i do not worry about running out of juice. I have removed all battery saving programs I do not need them anymore.
I do however worry about dropping the phone the back cover is a perfect match to the stock phone and it is slick seems to be the way it is with the white phone. Is anyone aware of any protective case that will work with this extended battery of of a case that one may be able to modify to work. I have looked all over and so far I haven't found anything I love this phone best one yet but the case options are slim.
You can find it on [email protected] under this description. It was 19.99

I have the same case and battery, and sadly at this point it looks like we either have better battery life, or a better protected phone. I have just resorted to getting a good quality holster for the phone. Let me know if you find an alternative!

Heres an ideal i was to happy with extended battery till no case drop phone crack money Stock phone ROM is bad for battery 1% by hrs ive just tried

Someone found a protective case for extended battery?

Do you have pics? If you go to amazon and search t989 lazza cell extended battery case that is the only extended battery case that I know of. I just got the lazzacell extended battery it has NFC capabilites and is a great battery and I got the case for it as well it is great. And the best part is I used to use the seido case for my phone with the regular battery and it came with the clip holder and the phone fits the clip with this extended battery case perfectly!

Battery Case by Hyperion

Does anyone have this case for their Nexus?
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Rech...1345649663&sr=8-3&keywords=battery+case+nexus
I've been looking around, and aside from getting a 3rd party battery with a larger back, this might be something to look into. I love the extended battery cases for iPhones because those are slim and pack a nice punch, but this just looks thick and clunky to me.
Anyone have any experience or photos of it?
Or do you have any recommendations for a different case?

I saw someone selling one of these in the marketplace a few weeks ago... PM'd a question about it but never got a response.
Based on the amazon reviews, doesn't seem to be a great product. Looks bulky and cheap. If you search ebay, you can get them there for about $20.
One thing that jumps out from the start is how the headphone jack would be used with type of case? It seems awfully bulky at the bottom end and doesn't have a nice wide opening for the jack to make it through the thick case.

You would be better off just buying one of the huge extended batteries IMO.

Yeah these type of batteries dont offer anywhere near as much extra juice as advertised. I personally use my regular OEM battery and keep an external microusb charger with me that runs off rechargeable batteries for the times I do use my phone a lot. Or you could just buy a spare battery and keep that charged but I would stay away from these types. I used one once and returned it after it took forever to charge and only charged my phone I think 30% on a full charge.

Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case For The Nexus 5 Review

Link to purchase: http://mugen.co/mugen-power-3000mah-battery-case-for-lg-nexus-5.html
Price: $113 AUD ($89.50 USD)
Pictures: http://imgur.com/BHW2H9x,mlPPPfB,r5...2ZB,1vBEl9z,oOCr1pM,pdGuA2U,QbylPD2,062nnkd#0
So recently ive been given the oppurtunity to test and review the Mugen Power 3000 mAh battery case. Here are my thoughts.
First: The case design. The case is black/dark gray in colour (same as the nexus 5) and has a soft touch matte back which is very touch sensitive (also similar to the nexus 5). I find this a nice addition to the case as the feeling is the same as the phone bare. The case is also has a nice curve to the back and when held fits perfectly into my hand and is also quite grippy. The phone is well protected on the back, however it has no protection at all to the front portion of the phone leaving the screen vulnerable. The case is quite bulky but this didnt bother me as i got better grip (I could still use the phone well with one hand). I also found it to be quite light considering its a battery case. All ports and buttons on the case are easily accessible but the power button is a bit hard to press due to the border of the case. The phone fits into the case well and is held tightly, and can be removed with ease.
Now for the battery part. The additional battery is 3000 mAh and the phone itself is 2300 mAh. The case charges the phone through a small usb port held at the bottom. I found this quite handy because I could also charge my other devices with the case. Ive tested the battery for a couple of days now, and after a full charge of the case, the case can charge the phone to approximately 105% (From 0% - 100%, then 0% - 5%). The case charged surprisingly fast compared to my charger, charging at ~1% per minute (I dont know if the case charges fast or if my charger is crap, or maybe a mix of both lol). On moderate usage without the case, my phone would last around a day with 2-4 hours SOT, but with the case my phone was able to last over 2 days with around 4-6+ hours SOT. The case does take quite a while to fully charge, more than the phone charge time. Sometimes when im using my phone heavily and charging my phone, the case gets quite hot around the bottom, but this didnt bother me too much.
TLR;
Overall, I found this case to be quite cool considering the long battery times and the nice design for a bulky case. Even for the somewhat high price, it's definitely worth it.
Pros -
+++ Great battery life, gives over a full charge
++ Nice design and feel, grippy aswell
+ Charge other devices
Cons -
-- No Front protection
- Bulky
- Price
Here are a couple of pictures in case you missed them

Great
