Battery buying advice please.. which one

Hello friends .
my captivate battery is horrible.. and i would like to buy which has batter life of matched the original at cheaper price. and the size should be same as original.
i have read other threads.. but there is no definite answer which one to buy.
can anyone recommned one please.

So you want OEM performance at a discount price? try EBay, but beware you may not get a good battery there. It's hit or miss imho.

Why so many bumps? It isn't like your thread got pushed to the second page.
There are a bunch of battery threads, go read them. As for the S9 comment, there is S7 and S9 (as far as I know). You want to get a battery that has S9 written on it (look at the pictures).

Sorry about that but noone was commenting and the battery is in Chinese so I don't know if it says it or not. Also can you link me to the threads that talk about battery buying. Thanks in advance

Yet another extended battery + cover option ($10)

I know one gets what u pay for, and the only extended battery of mention is Mugen, but I thought I share this:
Check out this item I found on eBay:

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?

Just bought one i will report its qauilty when it arrives.
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

test

Has anyone received one of these yet? Interested in one, but want to know if it is any good...

Cheap extended battery from eBay

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.

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.....

Just bought this battery. I've been using it about 3 days and followed battery calibration instructions. So far I'm really not that impressed by it. I've heard with extended batteries it takes a few days to settle in...

So I hope yesterday was an indication as to how this battery will perform long term. We'll see.

Has anyone found a protective cover that will fit the new case for the bigger battery. I always like to protect the phone just in case it is dropped!

[Q] Generic brand charging cases

What do you guys think about the generic brand charging cases sold on Ebay? I was going to get the Incipio Off grid case for the Gs3 but I aint paying $80 for that. The ones on ebay cost 20 and they have a 3200 sized batt in them. Any opinions? I would post a link but im on my phone.

Yea I was in a similar situation with my computer. Didn't want to spend 110 in a new battery so I got it off eBay around 30.if it doesn't work out I'll just cut my losses buy the expensive one, but at least I try not to overpay.

If your phone gets overheated because some chines battery, its your fault.
