Today I received my 1800mAh Lithium-Polyner battery for my XDA Exec. The manufacturer claims 11% more load than a standard battery, while still fitting in the standard battery slot, without the need for a thicker cover.
It is cheap as hell (20 euros) and can be found here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....from=R8&satitle=220016822659&category0=&fvi=1
It's currently charging so tomorrow at the end of the day I should be able to tell how it compares.
So Wiz, how is the battery holding up?
I've used replacement batteries in the past and they all seem to have problems reporting the correct charge. Is this one the same?
Good luck,
Pug.
say clear of seller mr buybits on ebay his 3200 battery always say 100% and you wont get the black battery cover thats advertise , insted you get a silver cheap looking one
i bought a 3800mAh battery with black case from expansys. it works flawlessly. the extra thickness is worth the extended battery life. i don't have to pay attention to the battery at all now (as long as i charge it every night of course)
whow what it last 24 hours .. tell me more about that battery .how many hours you get from it using in wile the screen is on ?? and how much was it ?

Hi.. How thick is the additional bat? Do you think it will still fit the piel frama book type leather case? Im thinking of buying the same from expanys. Good thing I bumped into your post
Thanks!
Thick
It's thick, you will not be able to use your Piel Frama case.
yup it's about an extra 9mm, but my belt case fits it nicely (an old iPAQ 'extended battery' case). the belt case i originally had for it was too tight with the stock battery anyway.

Really? Even if I squeeeeze it in? haha.. I was hoping that I can still use my case... I love this case!
Ok, I will let you guys know if I was successful in trying to squeeze it in. i will also let you know if I managed to tear / break the case, haha. Thanks!

I don't use any case whenever I'm using the extended battery. Don't try to squeeze it in, i tried it before on my Piel Frama case, u will just end up breaking that wonderful case of yours.

Ok then. I'll take that you broke your wonderful case??? It's just that I so wanted to still use it despite the bulky battery. Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna order from expansys soon. I'm just checking other sites in case there's a better place to order the extended bat. I'd love to have the lion battery but it's too expensive so I'm settling for the 3800 mAh one.
P.S. I found this "pencil case" that would probably perfectly fit my dopod with the extended bat... BUT (yes, a big but), it's a Barbie pencil case. Sure, im a girl and i'd probably pull it off but still, isn't it a big insult for our fabulous phone? haha..

Hehehe, that's cute! I think the 3800 mah battery is also lithium ion. I understand your praise about the universal. I mean it's a great device, especially the VGA screen (that stands out from the rest of the PPC phone). I bought my extended battery from ebay.
1800mAh battery
The thread has gone somewhat off-topic here. I have used the 1800mah battery for a week or 2 now, and it does deliver the additional 12%
It may not be as much as the 3800 battery, but for day to day usage that battery is too thick and heavy anyway. I prefer to keep that one for long business trips or holidays.
The 1800 battery just gives that little extra while allowing the Exec in it's regular case (for me Covertec)
Where did you buy your battery from?the site that i saw that had it they were currently out of stock.I have ordered the other battery but it is huge makes it feel like a gun is in my pocket.The jj is already a monster and to add the extra weight is a ilttle too much.

Its not in english so i dont know wth it says.Im in the US and am skeptical about what im reading.
As the seller has a 99.5% positive feedback from 48378 ebayers, i would assume it is as safe as you are going to get! If in doubt, give him a shout - Send a message, i am sure you will get a response fairly quickly?
It does state worldwide shipping and to contact the seller for details.
sent a message with no response.I would like to know the total in us dollars though.the way i figure it ,it comes to almost 60 bucks and pdaden has them for 46 shipped and 52 for a 2-3 day shipping.i will wait another day to see if he can let me know how much it will cost me.
I got free shipping to the netherlands for that price. Until now it performs admirably. I'll try to run some SPB battery rundown tests this weekend both with the original shipping battery and this 1800mAh li-polymer battery.
PS I didnt notice the 1750 Pdaden batteries until the last post by southernint3l, but from where I am at, the free shipping to the Netherlands beats the $10-$20 shipping I would have to pay from the US hands down.
MUGEN 4500 MAH Battery Info for EVO
Source Link: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com
Just get the one for the Touch Pro 2 because it is the same Battery spec (Thank you HTC for keeping good specs across phone models).
Search for the following PNs (They are the same battery. Only difference is the battery door which you will toss anyway)
HLI-T7373XL
HLI-XV6875EX
HLI-T7380EX
I recommend getting directly from Mugen because you never know what happens on eBay. I got some bunk Seidio 3500s from there.
Seidio Innocase Rugged Extended Add On Kit Info for EVO
Source Link: http://www.seidioonline.com
I recommend the BD2-HK4HEV4X add on kit because you will not use the Innocase Extended but rather just the Rugged Silicon Layer and The Exoskeleton. The kit comes with the holster too. This is a $20 savings because you cut out a useless layer anyway.
Details and Info Misc:
I get significantly more usage than the 3500mAH Seidio extended battery.
The kernel and the battery are definately a good mix.
Instructions:
Also, I recommend you cut the original back cover rather than the extended cover (if you have the 3500). The original battery will still be held in place if you ever need to use it (as long as you cut it right).
Question: Who is using the Mugen 4500mh battery? Just looking for some feedback. Positives and negatives. I've only seen positive results but would like some more feedback.
UPDATED PICS!!
Can't wait to see pics.
Swyped from Eva my Mynion running Myn's RLS4.95!
Thats one Hell of a battery, I would love to see what results I can get with ms charging tweak.....where & how much?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sorry, didn't have time to post pics today.
I will report though that the battery is at 66 percent and I have been unplugged from 7:30am till now which is more than I've ever seen. I'm not one for scientific analysis... J/K. I will stay unplugged as long as possible and let it die to give a full count. ( still not a real test but rather a real world test - moderate to heavy usage )
Also posting pics tomorrow...
Mugen has a 4500 for evo??

Yes and No...
Mugen has a 4500 for the Touch Pro 2 which is the same battery spec. They just dont have a cover for the EVO for that battery so no its not official. Thats why the mod.
This is a fairly easy mod and since the Mugen has narrower dimensions on all sides except the virtical axis, that means when (if) you chop up your extended back cover or even your regular back cover, it will still secure your regualar battery or Seidio 3500 Extended battery.
BTW: I have been runnin this thing for 46 hrs and still have 10% and Im not going to stay up all night tring to run this thing down. (So much for scientific test)
Ill explain the mod in more detail tomorrow and hopefully chop up the Innocase Extended part of it. (I dont forsee the need to chop the silicone layer or the exoskeleton layer but everything else needs an exacto knife or mill)

I found it on EBay for roughly $85. Mugen sells it from their site for 99.
It says touch pro 2 (select any carrier version because the batt is the same for all)
There is no official cover for it hence the mod to the Seidio Extended Rugged. (you might not need the Innocase Extended part if my test tomorrow does not fit)
definitely gone have to try this out..thx for the post
ARe you using it heavily? If so that's awesome, i use mine somewhat. I am going on 48 hrs with Calkulin's EviO 1.7.1 Rom and SBC 4.2.2 less havs Kernal.
I might have to give this new battery a try, sounds tempting.

I have "Moderate to Heavy" usage. Average user might have more battery life. All I know is that it improved battery life over the Seidio 3500 significantly with the same usage.
I'm still on Savage Kernel CFS 1.1 on CM6.1.1
After the holiday I will update all the details of the case mod and update comparison pics.
I really want to try adding the extended battery as an accessory instead of a stock battery replacement. Like a slide on, for those times when I need the battery but is easy to slide off because the stock battery door is just so god damn sleek and beautiful.
I've got a lot of experience with electrical stuff, I just need to find the time and motivation to get into it....:-/

The battery is significantly taller... I had to cut the back cover of the seidio extended battery cover and I will have to cut the innocase extended part of the innocase rugged extended. I did not have to cut the silicon layer of the innocase rugged extended nor the exoskeleton layer. I will eventually put comparrison pics and measurments etc. just havent had the time.
I'm waiting for my 4500mAh battery I ordered it yesterday after reading this post. Also I have the Seidio Rugged case because cellguru sent me that instead of the Seidio 3500 battery that I ordered. I would love to see/hear how you modified it so I don't have to experiment lol.
daweiteh said:
I just left everything off except the silicone layer and exoskeleton.
12/29: I added the extended back cover back on (Modded of course. Full detail tomorrow)
All side and corner clips are holding. Looks slightly different.
I'm running CM6.1.1 with Savage 1.1 kernel so hopefully I get more usage than the 3500mAH Seidio.
12/29: The kernel and the battery are definately a good mix. Im going to jump to the 1.3.4.5.6.7...version tomorrow (extra numbers added because I forgot what the real nubmer is and dont know why they are a seemingly arbitrary uptick skipping around like that??)
Pics to come tomorrow comparing the two side by side.
12/29: Going to do the comparisson pics tomorrow. Just have regular shots today. Almost didnt but I said I would so here ya go. Also going to do some pic with case off. Just didnt have the time today. End of month. Jose has to hit 1500

Can you write up a guide for this?
im interested also... how much modification did it take??
I did it pretty easily. All you have to do is cut out the battery shape from the inner most part of the case. The silicone just stretches over, then the 'exoskeleton' will clip on both the top and bottom, but not the middle (as seen in the pictures). Over all it was very simple, stayed on extremely well, and had amazing life.
I say had because i lost my phone on saturday and no longer have the battery :'(

I always used this website for batteries and always they were great
this one is estimated to ship on Feb 21 just 2 days before my bday i might treat myself!
Code:
http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-2000mah-battery-for-verizon-samsung-galaxy-nexus/
it says it's 2000mah how much more battery usage i can expect?
before i flashed franco kernel (which was about hour ago)
my battery would hold around 12 hours on 4.0.4 i always listen to music text and do some web browsing. Thanks guys
You get ~14% more capacity compared to the 1750 mAh battery. So don't expect too much.
Why wouldn't you get the OEM Extended battery? It's half the price and holds more charge. If you're worried about the case the difference is barely even noticeable, most cases fit with the extended battery.
I get about an hour more on average compared to stock battery, which makes a huge difference for me. It's also good having an extra battery anyway.
If you've got a Verizon version, just buy the extended battery straight from Verizon its 2100mAh and comes with a proper back cover for less $$.

The OEM extended barely makes it thicker, it keeps NFC, and it is cheaper with more capacity.
You're going to put a case on it anyways, so why do you care about thickness? lol.
if that mugen battery is not larger than stock one i can assure you that you are not getting more capacity. mugen batteries are decent as far as aftermarket ones goes but they over advertise their capacity and charge more than oem but dont take my word for it. check out this website that tested some mugen batteries actual capacity. mugens 1800mah is actually 1400 and thier 3600 extended is 2500. http://batteryboss.org/

I don't have a picture at the moment. I don't have that exact model, but the model I got from ebay is a 3800 mAh. I also got a case that fits around it.
With the case and the battery it is probably twice as thick as the phone with standard battery and no case. I don't mind, it fits in my pocket very easily and I feel much more comfortable with it.
took some pictures
I also have 3800mah battery, i took some pictures. rider.planet.ee/nexus
At first it felt little bit to big, but after few days its ok, fits in pocket.

Same questions to you... Have you been able to find any cover?
I just bought a cheapie ebay extended battery with cover, and it definitely improves battery life to nearly double the oem battery. I am pleased for the $8 I paid.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3900mAh...3372&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=2&#ht_1350wt_1111
Couple it with a bumper case (so the cover fits) and you have decent protection.
I bought an Onite 3500 mAh battery from Amazon several weeks ago for vacation days hiking. I was surprised how small it was. I didn't take it off until a week after I got back. In the city I get at least 2 days with juice to spare. It also supposedly has NFC, but haven't used it yet. It came with an extended back cover.
I bought an extended soft TPU case and pair that with a Seidio surface holster.
I paid about $13 for the battery, and combined with cases, no shipping.
I'm definitely happy with the battery.

they send me 3800mAh instead of 3500mAh, or is it just a sticker on the battery that says its 3800mAh, definitely it lasts longer than OEM battery.

I bought that case and it is fine. It is actually somewhat translucent and has a slight pattern on the back. It means I can't keep my mad money in my phone case, but otherwise it did the extended battery well.
The Onite batteries seem to be getting more expensive but they can still be found for about 25 dollars, which I still think is a good deal. My 13$ battery is a veritable steal.

Does anyone have a Mugen 4600 battery along with one of the other extended batteries?
Wondering if it is the same size as he other extended batteries. The Anker, Hyperion, QCell all seem to be about the same thickness.
If it is the same size then you could use the same door and TPU case that comes from the other companies. If it is thicker then there isn't a case out there that will fit the Mugen.
Thanks in advance.

But anyway, the battery life now is really great and I am interested in getting their 4300mA one. If anyone tried that, can you post the comment here?
