Why use 1500 mah batteries when we can use 1800?
Edit: my bad. Link was for 1500.

Looks exactly like the Anker 2 pack and charger I bought for $17 shipped from ebay last November. I wonder if they changed their brand. Anyway, Anker is very well reviewed and did well in discharge tests compared to seidio and other over-hyped under-performing battery brands.
I just got these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006SK5MCW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
2x 1950mAh batteries with a wall charger for 20$. They're working great so far. I had no idea my original battery had become so bad...
What do you folks think about the andida 2300 slim battery from obostore, selling for 8.99 free shipping.
I had a email exchange with the c. Care and they say the pieces are original.
Moreover they accept PayPal so we are safe from any crap
What say.

I heard about these batteries in another post and looked em up. Only heard good things and so far I am very happy. The wall charger is so cool. You can plug a usb cord into it from the male or female end.

I got that one and it got 30+ minutes more screen time than stock but the contacts dont line up exactly. Mine worked great for a month or two then started causing random reboots likely due to the co tacts not lining up so I trashed it.

I guess I should mention, that two or so months ago, all these "chinese extended batteries" weren't around for the glide, now ebay is flooded with them. And I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with them. And yes, mugen extended is still the battery of choice. Wasn't there "acesoft" batteries at one point too?

Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
Yeah, I just stumbled upon this and would love to see how it works. Sounds like it could be an excellent way to spend $10.
I recently got a "chinese extended battery" of a similar make via ebay for my gfs HTC Thunderbolt, and she tells me that, and i quote "seems to last just a lil bit longer" than her stock battery.
I also just purchased one for the glide today, so I'll see how it holds up. I may just pay the $80 for the Mugen battery, because I hear nothing but awesome things.
But i also use a portable phone charger, which works great. Marware 2,600mah portable charger, that i got for $5 via dealnews back in july ( http://dealnews.com/Marware-2-600-m-Ah-AMPED-Portable-Charger-for-5-5-s-h/592609.html) I think they go for $20 or so on amazon? but it works GREAT! a lil odd to keep in your pocket though.. lol, and theres a detachable usb cable u must also haul around

You could have picked one up for free at the Sprint store. I just exchanged two batteries, mine and the wife's, they didn't even check me in or look at the batteries. You're right, though, a new battery makes a huge difference.

Maybe adapter would be okay but others ones have different voltage they put out. Like a BB charger I use is 1A and the stock Samsung is 750mA

So I got bored and picked up a cheap 3800mah battery of eBay for around $10. I wanted to get the laza one with nfc but it isn't available in Canada. Once been running the cheapie for a few days now. I no longer have to charge at work and after 9 hours of light use on the weekend I am down less than one quarter.
Biggest downside is the supplied back doors not quite fit right.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Just an update. Battery life is consistently good. I leave work without charging at around 50%. Previously if I didn't charge while at work I would be down to 10-15%. I can play a hell of a lot of minecraft these days days. The issues with the back turned out to be from some plastic flashing. I cleaned up the edge and it sits snugger than the original back. Not bad for under$10

Extended OEM battery for the T-mobile Galaxy Nexus works great on our phone in the original case too! NFC capable.
Oh I can defiantly agree with that statement with an astrix, the old back does fit but it takes some force to get it to stay completely sealed and after about 6mo I had to replace the back of the device because the clips that held it on no longer worked properly just an FYI.....
