Here's two batteries from Mugen Powers, a 1800mAh and 3600 mAh. From my understanding, The 1800mAh will work with the original stock battery cover. And of course the 3600mAh, has the bulkier build. Here's some links for those interested.

3600mAh is sick but im going to order the 1800 mAh i wish they made a 2000mAh normal looking battery with the stock cover.
Thx for the post!

Let us know how it works out. I'm curious if there are any heat issues associated with the larger-capacity battery.
I just bought the 1800mAh, but it will be shipped in 10 days and will take 10 more to arrive!
anybody got a 1800mah one yet? thinking of getting one but im not sure they are worth it, has anyone had a battery from these guys before?
Mugen is one of the best second party manufacturer for batteries! It's really quality, no Hongkong Crap.
Interesting, Ive always wondered about suposedly good aftermarket batteries. ....Mugen you say !
OEM batteries is the only option unless the battery is inbuilt. Why are people so gullible? The manufactures always uses the best cells for their phones as it is part of the features present, i.e. long talk/standby time.
I have a HD2 and bought two original batteries which were not from Ebay.

maybe its because the people who know they are no good are so patronising when they are saying such. Not everyone has knowledge of these things and not everyone has had experience of this before but thats no reason to talk down to them. Its logical that these batteries should be better, after all they are rated 400mah higher, if thats not the case then you cannot blame the person who buys it thinking it is.
After market batteries is not a new phenomena and people buying such batteries should have learned by others which have made those mistakes before. It does not matter if it says Mugen or whatever on the battery.
I bought a battery for SE P1 on Ebay for 3 GBP and the picture was showing the retail package. When I received the package it was a "Walkman" branded when P1 is a business phone. I filled a complaint and received my money back. I would never do it without PayPal covering the full amount. I knew it from the beginning, if it sounds to good to be true it is not.

no, but what about somebody doesnt know anything about battery tech, or somebody who simply bought their phone from and o2 shop and has never had experience of other people buying aftermarket batteries? how are they supposed to know?
i came into this thread asking questions because to me it seems a little too good too be true, i know very little about battery tech but i do know a fair bit about other areas. other people, even those on this site may not have the slightest clue other than 1800 is more than 1400 and to talk down to them because of this is very unfair.

£26+ for 400mAh more - seems a bit steep IMO.
Better to buy a second genuine BST-41 from SE - seen them for the same money all over the place:
For example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/EMARTBUY-GE...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274285908&sr=1-6
and

So long as it arrives with SE logo and hologram on it, it's probably fine.

Not true. The P1 battery from Ebay did have a hologram but when comparing against the original battery there was a visible difference.
Mugen 3600 mAh battery
I got my 3600mAh battery on Friday and it works great! 5% drain an hour even with heavy useage. I can go the whole day without charging and still have 30% before I go to bed, beats the OG battery which I had to charge 2 times a day which sucked...
I'm personally a bit skeptical to 3rd party batteries, but I would like to have a 3600mha battery, the added thickness is not a problem. But as far as I know there only available battery from Sony is the stock 1500mha battery?

That's exactly how my original battery behaves... lol
Not for me.
My original 1500mAh battery was dead by 3.30-4pm after taking it off charge at 8.30am and that was with moderate use. Its been dead by 2pm before now.
Got my 1800mAh Mugen battery and i can take it off charge at 8.30am and have it still on 40% at 5pm after heavy use during my lunch hour.
It does work much better
Saw an eBay auction for the Mugen battery set up by "Mugen Battery".
Read the lower lines and they want to add 19% VAT after the sale is completed to all EU buyers by sending you a separate bill for the VAT (totally against eBay rules)!
What a bunch of shysters!

Available here! Who wants to try one first?
Me definitely! $50 seems like an awful lot to spend for an extra 200mAh though
I would but no money right now. Hey anything would be better off then the OEM 1300mAh =)
stock is 1400mha.
something tells me the stock battery have a higher capacity than those crooks using inferior cells while inflating the numbers.

You are most definitely right I bought one if those for my G1 and it crapped out within a year. Your best bet is to take your chances with the cheap batteries on ebay. You can get ten of them for what one from Seidio charges you. No knock on Seidio.

dunno where i saw it (somewhere here on xda prolly N1 forum) but some guys put every aftermarket battery for MANY phones up against HTC's stock batteries the astounding results:
NO aftermarket battery from ANY mfg. has EVER beaten HTC's stock battery...
(this is referring to batteries that fit in stock battery enclosure)
I agree after market battery might show higher numbers but not as good as the stocks ones

me 3 right under a year mine crapped out and it never seemed much better than my 2 year old htc it replaced.
I'm surprised, I've had good results with extended batteries. The one I got for my G1 did considerably better than stock. (8-9 hours versus 6 with OEM battery.)
I bought 2 1500mAh batteries with charger from ebay for less then $15 shipped. They last less then stock battery does (I kill stock battery in about 14 hours, the ones from ebay last me about 10-12 hours) but I always have charged spare battery now. Great investment IMHO, no way I would pay $50 for 1 battery, not even original HTC.
Hey Zoltair, What brand was the one you got that was better than stock???
Well I should hope that an extended battery would give you longer life then a stock...seeing as how its suppose to. I don't think that the problem is whether or not extended batteris last longer, because I would think if you bought an extended battery and it didint last longer then a smaller, stock battery..you would then return it...I think what people have problems with is getting what they pay for, price per mA and how much mA there really is...if your paying 50 dollars for a battery rated at 1400ma, your probably going to want all the mA you payed for...for example: (PURELY FOR SPECULATION, NOT REAL NNUMBERS) say you have a stock 500ma battery and you get like 4 hours out of it or whatever, and then you purchase an extended battery for 50bucks and its "rated" at 1000ma, yet you only get 6-7 hours out of it...? Then it would seem that it isn't truly rated at which they say it is... Then you get into how much certain companies value their own integrity, and how much they are going to inflate their own battery ratings to simply sell the product. Examples of this can be found on batteryboss.org ...This website obtains batteries and tests them, and you can see clearly, some companies inflate their ratings more than others... If you look at what the battery was rated at, and what exactly it tested at...they even break down price per mA...so if you paid 2dollars per mA for a 1500 rated battery and it tested at 1300..how much money are you losing? Purchasing an extended battery should be looked at like all consumer purchases, weight the pros and cons... and read reviews on companies, you can also seek alternatives such as previous post in this thread of having spare OEM batteries that cost 1/10th of an extended battery, yet they immediately doulbe your battery length..

No word yet on performance on this? Anybody get it? I don't want to go first, lol!
Well $49.99 for 1600mAh is high as hell and top of that from unknown source, might well as wait for Mugen power stock size. I hope whoever has this post data on it so we can see if its any good.
Got one of these for my N1. Definitely NOT worth the money. Don't notice any difference from the OEM.

http://batteryboss.org/ <<< info about some mugen battery performance
Just wanted to report in with my experience of these large capacity batteries.
I purchased 2 of them along with a generic external charger and they are far better than the stock ones.
Currently been going for 48 hours and still at 25%. I was struggling to get 12 hours out of the stock battery.
They seem like reasonable quality and for around 10AUD each they are decent value. They fit under the stock cover too which is a bonus.
Anyone else using these?

Thanks for this info ! Would you post some pictures of the battery itself and some of usage stats , please ?
Most likely it is fake. Recently I bought 'gold' battery for my old SE K800 from ebay. Printed capacity on label was almost double than original battery but in fact real capacity was half of original. So, returned to seller and lost shipping costs only.
Unfortunately physics is in full force for batteries: at the moment larger capacity can be achieved only by more or larger sells!!!
I'm actually MORE than happy with original Samsung 2000MAh battery. I would NEVER put a fake or low quality battery close to my face.

Well that confirms all these uprated batteries are in fact rubbish with the exception of the much larger 3500mah one and even that was nowhere near the stated 3500mah rating
The gold batteries from Ebay are all fake. Don't waste your time. Peel off the gold cover, under it, you'll find an under powered rating.this batteries have already been discussed at xda over and over with picture evidences to show they are fake. Go buy a jaguar for 10 bucks and tell me it's real.

I just bought one from ebay too. A gold 2450 mAh battery.
After I received it I put it in the mobile and battery snap from the market tells me the same remaining time as the stock 1650 mAh battery.. Then I peeled off the gold wrapper and underneath I found this inprint "HD504655AR 11K08NF1650".. 1650 ?? Strange coincidence ...
I opend a case with ebay requesting my money back because this looks like a fraud. I'll have to wait several days for it to close, but I will tell you how it ended...
I can only tell you that I should have read the posts here about the "gold" batteries.. Damn fakes!
Ok, so can anyone tell me how to identify a genuine Samsung battery?
My phone came with a battery that looks almost identical to eBay item 110825200405, except that mine says "Finished in Vietnam" and the recycle symbol is a bit different.
The supposedly genuine batteries on eBay (e.g. eBay item 140704498924) look quite different.
I got my phone from Orange/Partner in Israel and I'm wondering if they are using cheap aftermarket batteries to save money. Anyway, I want to buy a spare but I want to make sure that I'm getting my moneys worth for a battery that has the actual marked capacity and that will last.
Thanks.
Glad to trade abt the gold batteries here. I was abt to use a pair for myself
"Gold Batteries"
Bump.
I was about to post a big thing with a battery log that I kept for the first 5 charges of my new "Gold" battery along with how unimpressed I was and that it didnt seem any better than my stock 1250mAh. The new battery was supposedly 2450mAh. after reading the post 2 posts above mine I decided to remove the gold foil to look at the stamps on mine. I see nothing to indicate the mAh capacity on mine but after using it for a month I can say for sure that it is no better than my stock battery. I am not going to file it with ebay or anything but it sure seems like there are a lot of fakes out there. Mine came from Ghuang Dong china or something like that... lol. Anyway I only paid 6.99$ with no shipping and have a functional spare battery now so, oh well. Lesson learned. Figured I'd give my 2 cents.
---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------
Oops. Just realixed this is for samsungs. Mine was for HTC Inspire. Probably all the same though... My bad.
my 2 bits worth
Just got the ebay GOLD (haha) battery as well but paid like 4 bux for it - FWIW it seems to hold a charge longer though it charges lightning fast which leads me to believe that it is indeed not 2450mah
After having done a bit of research, mah is a tricky thing to verify - can be done with a multimeter BUT there is a device called a battery-analyzer that does the trick. So these ppl that sell the possibly fraud batteries have tapped a great market: people (mostly) without the gear or know-how to check the quality of the goods!
regardless i needed a second battery so no loss for me. Now if it explodes or something I will report here first and I will not leave my 5star feedback for the "gold battery people" just yet
UPDATE
***so the gold battery performance is incredibly poor - last less and less time with each charge***
I'd advise anyone to absolutely not bother with one of these

the 2000mah is a bit bigger (that is why it needs a new cover plate)
I have an 1800mah (also a bit bigger) but fits nicely in the phone.
Has anyone found any on Ebay or else where that have maintained true NFC functionality?
I've seen a few on Ebay but the labeling is so "China town," I don't know if I trust them.
(no offense to any Chinese )

The most reliable battery makers are

Both have 3800 - 4000mAH batteries available with NFC support. Will cost ~$90 though.

Those battery are also made in China. You just pay more for their brand.
And those two brand don't even have their own factory.
I just got my 4000 mah battery with NFC for 10USD. It also works well.
And of course, they're made in China.
Hyperion review
Just got this that arrived yesterday morning:
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Exte...APABILITIES/dp/B007C8XRJY/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_1
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, after reading reviews, because the cover that came with my snapped right on, with no problem whatsoever. I started fitting it at the bottom and worked my way around snapping the clips in and wala - perfect fit.
I also bought this cover:
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Exte...ompatible/dp/B0083HHU5A/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_2
It's black/honeycombed and fits perfectly over the new back, giving the whole phone a factory made look. The only "negative" to it, is the volume buttons and the on/off buttons are now alot more sensitive - the cover goes over them and it doesn't take much now to depress one of the buttons - I'm actually liking it more, as I get used to it, but I imagine you could carve the rubber off at the buttons with a knife if it bothered anyone.
Anyway, after reading the little card that comes with it and the "charge it for 12 hours, kill it 4 or 5 times cycling" - I plugged it in and after about 2 hrs, it was saying fully charged. I needed to use my phone, so I turned it on - made a couple phone calls with it and decided just to use it. I read cycling doesn't matter with a Li battery anyway, and I was just excited to see if this thing was for real.
It's 10:43 the next morning - my battery has 19% left on it and it has been on the battery for 18hrs, 8mins when I unplugged it yesterday!!! I am a heavy user too - all throughout yesterday, played a few games, many visits to facebook, web surfing texting, 10 or so short phone calls - then again this morning, surfing the web for a good 1.5-2hrs gathering news.
All I can say, is this is unheard of - I've NEVER been able to do this on the stock battery. I'm going to run this all the way down today, so I'll post back when it actually shuts down, but it's for real folks - order it! I'm thinking about ordering another one for backup - I'll only have to charge once a week!

In this case, quality matters. I've already researched the differences. You won't be getting as good battery life as the one's from Seidio or Mugen. Please do the research before saying such things, as you're misleading others.
It's already been confirmed that the cheap Ebay batteries are of low quality.
Just because it's Made in China, doesn't reflect the quality of the build. Seriously? Everything is made in China...
Look through the posts on this forum about the ebay batteries. Almost everyone says they found barely a difference with extended battery.

Your statement doesn't stand. You're insinuating that the cheap-o Ebay batteries are just as good as the Branded Seidio / Mugen batteries, when that is clearly not the case.
Shifting the goal posts aren't ya. Seriously, stop spreading misinformation. I gave you at least 3 sources from various forum members that concurred the battery life discrepancy is vastly different between the generic and branded ones. (Mugen/Seidio)
Did you provide a source showing that the generic ones off of eBay have as good or better quality than the branded ones? Looks like no.
I have sources to back my claim up, you have, well, none.
example of a bad battery (trexcell)
http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Samsung-Compliant-Extended-Compatible/dp/B007EZ2PU2
and FYI, Seidio uses battery cells made from Japan.
I have both the seidio and the hyperion NFC batteries and they both work well for me. Can't complain about either of them. 5 hours plus screen on time usually. Yeah yeah, mod this kernel and underclock/volt that kernal and "I can get that on stock"...well I can't. I like the bigger battery as well.

Went 24.5 hrs before it gave up and shut down - recharged to 100% in about 2 hrs and I'm at 14 hrs running with 66% left - I'm loving this! And as mentioned, I'm preferring the bigger battery/weight feel in my hand, then before. Maybe Samsung should make their phones with bigger batteries and heavier!..lol.

Wondering about this as well
So, is there any NFC-battery somewhere around 2-3k mAh? I'd love to get some more hours in between every recharge (i can barely get home from work before the phone wants to die), but the ~3,8k batteries just makes the phone too bulky for my taste..

Mugen has a 2000 mah one.. I've had it for 5 months and it works great. Definitely gives you the extra juice while it still fits with the standard battery door.

I heard QCell was crap, per Amazon reviews at least.

If you read correctly I said most of the Chinese batteries. My statement still stands. You are paying for a name and false sense of security.

How much do the good Chinese batteries cost?
How does one identify the good ones in advance?
I have the Hyperion 3580mah battery and love it, NFC works, and I get about two days of battery life with a single charge

1. is there an extended SLIM battery? I can really do without the extra bulk, I got 2 kids and already carry around suitcases when I go out haha
2. Can I use a generic 2300mah? Such as an eBay battery? Any warnings about using generic non branded batteries???
3. Can anyone recommend a long lasting battery... cheap?
Thanks in advance

well, there is a sticky at the top of this forum dedicated to extended batteries. you could look there.....
but anyway, i bought a hyperion 2200mah and it fits with the stock back door on verizon. Which is all i wanted. A little extra juice while retaining the slim profile andusing my cases that i already boght.
it was only 6.99
I checked that thread but it doesn't say if I could use generics from eBay etc
I need something that will let me use all my apps notifications without shutting everything down and using power save and all that. How many hours does 2200 give u? Isn't the sg3 equipped with a 2100?

stock is 2100, yes. 2200 is only a little more but it was cheap and I wanted the extra juice and it fits under the stock back which lets me use my cases.
i had to charge it for 12 hrs initially then 100% to 0% four to five times. right now im at.....
24.5 hrs on battery

and i have 47% left.

The biggest size you can get from the US 2300mah. There have plenty generic ones on Ebay or other ones on Amazon which I will link below.

There is also a 2400mah one made by Polarcell but this is from the UK and costs about $23 US dollars. I may try it out.

2300 mAh slim extended battery by mugen power gets my vote. Just bought it and received it in the mail the other day, and although it does come at a pretty steep price at about $40 USD with a coupon, it does indeed add a decent 1-3 hours of extra usage to your phone, and about 30 minutes to 1 hour of extra screen on-time.

How much do they pay you to promote??
for now i bought the flip cover case while waiting for my mophie white 2100 battery and case in one....
Here is stock sized battery with 2800 mah. capacity and NFC capability.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=321023235437&index=18&nav=SEARCH&nid=40230123151
Best stock sized batt. I have found. Less than $25.00 with shipping.
I cannot positively verify capacity but, I have been using for a couple of days and after a few charge cycles to saturate and settle it in, seems legit.

May I ask how do you find this new battery when compared to the stock one? how much longer does it last (if any) under same/similar conditions?
I would be very careful when buying batteries from a Chinese/ Hong Kong based site. In fact I would probably not buy from them at all.
