PowerGen Premium Battery

I just bought two PoweGen Premium batteries for my X10 (they are actually labelled X1). I am extremely happy w/ these batteries. I believe that they actually last longer than my original X10 battery. I bought them thru Amazon for about $24 each.

Actually i bought at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah when on my visit there. I dont know where to find this battery at KL but sure KL got more choices and cheaper.
Now its been 1 day 16 hours since unplugged. Pretty heavy use. Lots of calls, sms, poweramp, etc.. Just finish 3 hours straight youtube & browsing using wifi and still got 30% juice.

Battery calibration

I recently purchased a seidio 3800mah extended battery. Currently I'm only on the first few cycles and I found an app that is supposed to read the battery may but it is reporting it the same as stock. Do I need to calibrate the battery or do anything to get the phone to fully take use of the extra power currently the battery life feels about the same as stock. Thanks in advance for any advice you might have to offer.

Battery calibration doesn't do anything. Well documented.

I also have this same battery and use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. While the app allows me to set up a custom battery, with a different capacity, the app has never been able to show a "estimated capacity" larger than 2048mAh. Rather disappointing considering that on my EVO 4G, while it never read the 3500mAh that it was supposed to be, it would reflect something closer. I think it was usually around 3300mAh. I never even bothered with the stock battery on this phone, and I have been in horrible reception areas whilst roaming the entire time I have had the phone. Should be going home in a couple weeks, if I can get the same 2 1/2 days out of it there then I won't worry any more.

Okay. So if there is no need for calibration that means I shouldn't need to do anything after the installation of the larger battery correct?

So, if I understand you own the battery that I do? If so I'm going to take a screen shot of its life when its near empty, I would like to compare them if possible.

This is the one I have:
BACY38SSGNLN-BK Seidio Innocell 3800 Extended Life Battery with NFC for Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Not sure what it is you want to compare? I will not be in a decent signal area until after the 18th. Once I get home, I can run a full charge/discharge cycle on it a take screenshots, until then i probably won't be of much help. I'm roaming 100% of the time with an average time without signal of 45% right now so I don't get good life out of it.

Testing the ANKER 2200maH Battery

Recently I was contacted by LapTopMate.com and asked if I wanted to test one of the new ANKER extended batteries for the GS3. As someone who has used them for quite a while in other phones I said yes.
It arrived today and now I am charging it. Will do comparison on ON SCREEN time with the Standard battery.
Thanks ANKER!!

I just saw this battery on Ebay. The price is about 25 US Dollar. I am very interested in your results!

yea. doe the 100 mha more make that much of a diff?
NFC? does that work?

I don't see any reference to NFC on the packaging. But for a spare battery, it really doesn't matter. (I've never used NFC anyway.)
I'm hoping I get about 30 more minutes of screen time out of it. Time shall tell.

Anker batteries for the Galaxy s3 doesnt have NFC, yet!
i get about 2 hours of extra battery life with this battery.

So far so good at 50%.

Nice.any good links to vendors for this battery,I would like nav but I'm not using it yet anyway.

I've been using this battery for about a week now and it's a GREAT battery (minus not having nfc). For $8.99 on Amazon its an absolute steal and it holds a charge great.
For $9 you can't pass it up.

this uses the stock battery cover right?

Yes it does.
No NFC though.
I got a little over 7 hours of on screen time at 1%. Failed to get a screen capture though.
Will run it through a second cycle to see how that one goes.

Bought 2 for 16$ on Ebay. Probably only need 1, but I may just sell the extra off on craigs or something.
They'll jack up the price once word gets spread out anyway.

I too was contacted by laptop mate and received a trial Anker 2300mAh battery for my Galaxy S III.
I already own two Hyperion batteries, and compared to those, my Anker battery is fantastic! While I would estimate that the Hyperion battery gets around 60-70% of what my stock battery gets, my Anker battery gets battery life on par (if not slightly better) than my stock battery.
However, I have a couple of gripes with it... One of the plastic "tabs" that separate each of the 4 battery terminals broke off on one end. This makes it so that I have to be sure to make the plastic tab straight so that I can charge the battery while it's in my phone. Otherwise, it switches very rapidly between "charging" and "battery disconnected" (though it remains powered on). I'm not too sure how that happened, but that may have been when I was putting it on/taking it off of my Hyperion battery charger. Another gripe is that it doesn't have NFC. Then again I haven't even found an opportunity for me to use NFC besides the Paypass CC terminals (and Google wallet doesn't work on Verizon, so that's bunk anyway.)
I would definitely recommend the Anker battery, especially if they add NFC in the future. It gets great battery life on par with the stock Samsung Battery at a much lower cost, and if you can take one or two minor manufacturing defects (that are easily fixed) on the battery terminals, then there's no reason not to pick one up in my mind.

Anker 4400mAh Battery (Mini Review)

I recently bought the Anker 440mAh for the very small price of £9.99

I was skeptical about buying this due to how cheap it is, to anybody looking for a cheap alternative, this is for you.
Click HERE to view the battery on Amazon (UK)
I've seen people saying some batteries will not charge or that it's slow. This isn't, I've charged it a few times and it gets up to the 90%~ mark and remains neutral, it doesn't slow down whatsoever.
I completely forgot to screenshot my battery use after a solid 5 hour Final Fantasy 7 session with still 60%~ remaining.
The battery fit isn't great, it does fit in but it could be a lot better.
The extended case is cheap, it's made out of plastic and very hollow. With the added weight no doubt it would crack if dropped.
To sum up, the battery is well worth the price depending on use. I use it for playing games when I'm just chilling at my friends house, so here's for those who are wanting something for a similar use.

I had this battery, but it was less powerful than the original... weird.

Having used Anker batteries and travel chargers since my s2, i can safely say they can have my money any time, they make affordable but really great products. There batteries certainly last longer than stock.

Really? I've seen people slating it but I was extremely surprised with the performance - and the price!

If it was, you had a dud. I have this battery and it works great.

WOW, 4400 mAh are good. The only problem is the expansion cover..doesn't look very well
But with 4400 you will have more power of course

The problem with the cover I had is that nobody makes a case for it. I'm using a Q cell cover with mine.

I have this as well, the back covers they come with are not the best quality, and the battery is great, however it blocks the NFC capability. Ordered a Zerolemon 6300 Mah from Amazon a few days ago, should be here Thursday.

Setting new battery capacity after replacement

Hi, guys.
I've just replaced phone's battery with this "HSABAT 3800mAh" ... Everything is ok but I'm guessing the battery percentage info in system is adjusted to old 2300mAh value. I'm using AICP Oreo.
What I need to do in order to get accurate battery data??
Thank you in advance :fingers-crossed:

I think you have noticed by now that it all works without any additional settings.
However - i do not think the new battery is 3800 mAh - at least not in this phone (voltages). The battery tech has not evolved so much during these few years and the battery compartment physically does not allow so much energy. (you need to have certain amount of chemicals for any Ah).

Everything is OK, except for battery life... I guess this "HSABAT 3800mAh" was a rip-off.

I'm not sure if I should try another replacement battery.
It's a shame be forced to say goodbye to this nice device because of this.

Just buy a genuine battery, they are available on the internet (about $15-20). I have replaced my battery twice with full success.

Just stop and think a little bit before buying. Original battery is 2300mAh and your fake one is 3800mAh. How on earth you can pack almost double capacity into the same size battery? The same chemistry gives the same capacity in the same size. Simple. Forget about 3800mAh and if it holds charge properly just use your phone. Probably you still have 2300mAh in it.

You can use your current battery if it holds charges properly e.g. no sudden drop from 50% to 0%. I got my battery a year ago from this shop and it works fine https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32870459998.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1ec633edTwqvQZ
