Hello guys. My Mugen Power 4600mah battery arrived yesterday. I directly attached new battery to my S3. Then I charged to %100 then I wiped battery stats. But It seems there is no difference between stock battery and this? What I did wrong? Help please!
I'm using the 2300MAH MUGEN and ive the same problem

As with any new battery give it a few full discharge / charge cycles before thinking something is wrong.

you might have to drain it and recharge it several times before you can tell the difference.
It usually takes me 5 cycles for batteries to show their full potential.
today my battery was good more, but I couldn't finish it. It was %40 or around of it. I plugged it into charger. I will wait 8-12hours. Is it good ?

Shouldve ran a HD video over youtube at max brightness to kill the rest. Should do a 1-2 full discharge and recharge with the phone off. Then charge the phone whenever.

I got a hyperion extended and it last me almost 2 days.. U have to charge it all the way up and let it die all the way to 01% or let it die.. Do this 4 to 5 times.. u may have messed it up a little bit by hooking it up at 40% and charging it.U have to try this first then email back and get a replacement for

Never let your battery die. It messes up the cells. 2% is good enough

Surfing amazon uk i found this:

How is that compared to the stock battery? Can you notice a difference?
I have used the 3600mah battery when I first got the phone and my phone is dead now, but I managed to get 2 days and yes the battery was used for games and journeys lasting up to 3 hours , also yes with the 1500mah battery I can only get about a days worth of non-gaming and with gaming 6 hours

i bought it awhile ago, and i feel like the stock 1650mAh gave me more battery life than this extended one.. i notice by the Screen on time i got easily about 3 hours with evry rom/kernel on 1650mAh ,3hours screen on time + still 30% left
but with the 2000mAh i get only about 2 hours screen time while 30% is left :C what is wrong with it .. i thought itd be much better than this..

Try to use BatteryCalibration. May be it help you.
i tried everything ,battery*2000mAh genuine* still only givin me barely 4hours with min Usage LOL
Try to wait a little. I bought the original 2000mah battery and it needed about a week to give me 3-4 hours of screen time
Hi!! Did you buy an original samsung battery or a chinese-looking one?? because There are several posts here on XDA and in many other sites, wich explains you that only original batteries have the right amount of ampere. For example the Gold batteries, very common on ebay, promise you 3500 ampere, but they actually have less than the stock 1650 ... So buy only sammmie's battery!! they are way better!!
@ OP: How much you paid for it? What's the model number? I have two 2000 mAh extended batteries here, both performing well.
it cost me 35$ plus shippin cost i paid 60$ for it, its genuine.(Model:EB-K1A2EBEG) i get 4hours on screen time with brightness down to 0
i didnt get any better result than that.

I can generally browse for "a few" hours on 4G without needing to plug in. I don't pay much attention to specifics as unlike the Note 1, the Note 2 isn't very limiting for me. The Note 1 was awful for needing a micro-reactor in your pocket almost. Do you keep your battery over 90% charge often? It's possible it's getting weaker as it gets older. You can order a replacement battery cheap enough and see. They also usually come with an external charger so you could just swap batteries and go. I do that on long road trips.
Is true the replacement battery maybe hurt the phone bcse they have diferent voltage? I heard that from some guy in yhe shop.

If you get a real Samsung battery I'd think not. Make sure the voltage matches. I can't remember, is the S3 3.7V or 3.8V? I got an Anker extended battery and it improved the battery life immensely.

It depends on many different factors not just screen on and 4g on. 1% per 3 minutes equates to 300 minutes or 5 hours. I have drained my battery completely in 4 +/- hours time. It's completely normal as I have other phones to compare it with. I have another note 2, 2 galaxy s3, iPhone 4s,5s that I have tested against and they provide worse battery life in same situation.
Not all these phones are mine. I just swap it with family/friend members to test out for a day or two.
For batteries I recommend Anker. I have 2 Ankers for my note 2 and 3 Ankers for my galaxy s3.

Since I use my N2 as my laptop replacement and am on it all day, battery life was a problem for me from the beginning. I found Battery Drain Analyzer helpful. I kept it running for a couple of months and was able to determine which apps consume the most power (widgets, by far). But, after having spent hours trying different underclocking configurations without much success as far as saving a lot of power, I ended up buying three extra OEM batteries. It's really awesome to not have to worry about it. I just keep them in my pocket and swap them out as needed. It's not a very technologically advanced solution, but, it sure is effective. I also picked up this, and, obviously, now, I am never without power. Also, I use this Charger for the spares. It takes a long time to charge the batteries, but charges them fully to 100%, whereas, charging the battery in the phone doesn't seem to work as well.

MobileTechReview does a review of the Zero Lemon. The back case is the only thing that keeps me from getting it. Not that it sticks out, but that it's like a soft rubber. The whole back. The video shows it better than I can explain it.

Think that was the original case they reviewed? They changed it a little bit (better fit) before the release a week or two ago. They are also coming out with a rugged case in about a month.
so has anyone successfully made a mod for the ZeroLemon Extended 7000 mAh battery for an external charger? and if so could you show how to make it?

How long does it take for your charger to charge the 7000 battery? Im curious about limitbreak charger as well. Thats the most important thing I need to know. I might just have to buy 2 7000mah batteries, let one charge the day before use and I will be good for a whole week, lol.

Its more convenient to have 2 ZL, using the first one while charging the other one, then swap. I have 2 chargers, the 300 mah and 450 mah, but both takes 24 hours to charge anyways so doesnt matter.
If you only have 1 ZL, the advice i can give you is just go back to stock while youre charging the ZL.
I wanna share my set up aswell, when im home or at work im using the ZL since thats the tome we use our fone the most, but when im gonna go out with my friends or partying , im gonna go back to stock and a spare battery in my pocket, so in this way you can still show off your amazing case that you have lol.

I agree, 2 ZL's are the way to go. Fortunately for me, I do not have a case yet, or anything....everything is all stock. I was thinking of going with the otterbox case and modding it to fit the ZL battery. I just discovered that ZL said that they will make a "rugged" external case like the otterbox but it will probably be in June some time.
Either way, I have DECISIONS, lol. But can you point me to the link for the 450 external charger? 24 hours to charge wouldnt hurt at all (if one has 2 ZL batteries)

Yeah i emailed ZL about that rugged case and yeah they said its goin to be june, you can also check the Laza case in amazon, it fits the zl, but i still prefer the ZL case coz its much slimmer.
And as for the 450 charger, I actually got that charger when I bought the 2 slim 2200 anker batteries from amazon, i think it was $19.99 the charger and 2 batteries. But remember, that charger doesnt have the thing you hook up on the wall socket, its a usb charger, but i bought this litte thing so i can plug it in on the wall, heres the pic of what im talkin about.

Just to add my 2 bits, I seem to have a slightly updated model of your charger that I received from my last Hyperion battery purchase. Stil dog slow @ 350mA±50mA, though. HTH.
Mine recharges from about 10% to full in about 6 to 8 hours in the phone.
MD4 stock rooted odexed, modded
According to the instruction from ZL, they advise us to charge the battery with original charger. Do you think it's not good for the battery to be charged with external charger which is not original?

Can you charge the ZL 7000mah with the charger in the image you attached? Where can we find a USB 5.0V so that the output can be 800mA? or is it just the normal usb cable like the cable from the original charger?

Zero lemon sells an external charger for extended batteries, as does Anker. Beware- the chargers look the same, but the Anker will not charge the ZL7000 / Anker7200 past 88%.
The ZL extended charger-
Charges via USB or installed in charger.
The ext charger is slower (600mah) then via the USB. 1000mah.
It takes 12hrs to charge battery on charger, and only 8 hrs via usb to phone.
If I've helped you, hit thanks!

It depends entirely on the output of the charger used.
I have the ZL external charger and it offers two charging options. With the battery on the charger, the output is only 600Mah taking roughly 12-13 hrs. If you use the usb cord and charge the battery in the phone, the charger output is 1000mah taking roughly 7-8 hrs.
Hit thanks, if I've helped you.

Hello guys...
Earlier today, i decided to remove my SD Card when i realize theres a weird hump on my back cover... When i remove it, i was quite shocked to see my battery ALMOST off the Place where u put the battery on.. I got quite scared and imagined what would happen if this continues... (Explosions) Every time, i Force FastCharge ON when i plug on to the wall charger to charge.. Yes it does charge faster but i don't exactly know if that is the real problem or.not... I also wanted to buy a new battery but since i live in Singapore, there aren't as much shops that sells accesories for the Galaxy Wonder. So are there any solutions on how to debloat a battery or smth

how old is ur battery btw? ur phone will not function well and its very annoying, coz it won't last long. the fact that it's already bloated, just replace it asap coz it may dmg ur phone. idk know if it's related to fast charge thing, but same thing happened to my battery a few months ago using fast charge (usb charging only).
google search, there r a lot of cheap battery for sgw but whether its reliable or not is questionable.
oem battery in sillypore cost S$58/pc @ samsung service centre.
i was looking for one a few months ago, found a compatible battery at www.battery.com.sg but out of luck was not in stock.
i think they should have stock by now, they have a shop at sim lim square on the second floor (closed on sunday).
i dun know the price, i presume it will be cheaper than oem and have better power @ 1800mAh. :good:

google search, there r a lot of cheap battery for sgw but whether its reliable or not is questionable.
oem battery in sillypore cost S$58/pc @ samsung service centre.
i was looking for one a few months ago, found a compatible battery at www.battery.com.sg but out of luck was not in stock.
i think they should have stock by now, they have a shop at sim lim square on the second floor (closed on sunday).
i dun know the price, i presume it will be cheaper than oem and have better power @ 1800mAh. :good:

u have three options;
1) buy oem battery.
2) buy from battery.com compatible battery (fake or not).
3) buy from web site (all made-in-china, some claims >2000mah but same size which r not possible. reliability in question).
your choices, oem or fakes.

Bro, I bought a netbook from Sim Lim and my dad used it for 6 years and we only had to put a reserve battery... I think you are safe. Singapore is a clean country after all. Anyway, the Samsung shops sell the batteries at 55 bucks so I just bought one non-original one from a pasar malam, which is supposedly made to last for 6-7 months. This is my second month using it and I don't see any problems... good luck bro and brofist to a fellow Singaporean...

i Force FastCharge ON when i plug on to the wall charger to charge.. Yes it does charge faster but i don't exactly know if that is the real problem or.not...

As I posted already many times. Do not use FastCharge. Those batteries are designed to be charged with about 0.7C max. Which means 0.7 x capacity. So for the SGW this means 0.7 x 1500 = 1050mA max. Faster charging will kill the battery sooner or later.
So yes, it will get bloated also. The same way like stressing it a lot at heavy usage.
And this is also the reason I do not enable FastCharge in my kernel.

oh my... Okay, 1 thing, what happens if FastCharge is Ticked but the battery isn't charging? And what will happen if the battery can't hold it? Will it.explode?

When it´s not charging nothing should happen, but if it´s charging and the battery can´t hold it then yes, the battery can explode. It will build gases inside the battery till the case can´t hold them and they evaporate as a big bang. This can even happen after the charging.
Some years ago I´ve seen some pics made by a rather mature man whose phone exploded in his hand. His hand was in half between the middle fingers. The kitchen full of blood. He made the pics with the other hand and I guess he was under shock while doing them, so he didn´t feel the pain.
So better charge it normal. This is better for you and your battery.

Why would he take a pic... anyway, heed what honeyx says and get a new one and charge it normally.

I was woundering too. It was not just one pic but several pics. But well he made some and posted them in a forum with the whole story. Just can think of he made them to sue the company he got the phone from in the first place and finally also posted them to warn others to what can happen.
About a week ago there was also something about a girl in the tv news whos smartphone exploded in her pocket due to a overheating battery. The litium burned into the skin and she needs the skin to be transplanted.
It´s simply not worth to deal with fast charging and bloated batteries. Batteries, phones, cars or houses. Everything of them can be replaced but health can not.
I believe phone shop in Johor got selling Wonder battery
UPDATE: funnily, the phone started to give false info abt the battery for some reasons.. Like, when its 65%, it auto shutdown and then i have to start it back up and was shocked to find it 1% and well, shutdown again... Is this normal for this kind of battry?

Normally, a recalibration should fix it... But it won't fix your battery bloating issue obviously...

Please not again about recalibration and /or whiping battery stats. They get whiped on each reboot and so also the battery gets recalibrated. Calibrating is nothing more than collecting statistics about which app you launched how often. The background processes and so on. And this all is collected in the battery stats which gets overwritten on each reboot so you see the current statistics in settings-> battery.

Oh well then your battery is already toast. I´m having here some old Li-Po batteries for flashlights which are doing the same. Charging like normal but doing 5 minutes max. Some even can´t do for just 1 minute. They are just paperweights now.
