Slim
Extended vs Slim Thickness comparison:
Slim holds around same charge as oiriginal.
Still testing out Extended. So far giving me full day use with 10% left

I just can't do it. I'd rather carry my charger with me in my pocket than turn my beautifully slim and sexy E4GT into a mutant. Thanks for posting this though.

same thought but i DID buy an extended battery anyways. Charged it 100% and shoved it along with the ugly battery cover in my car's glove box for emergencies.

Same here. Calibration helps a lot.

An additional 150ma, if that number is even true, you won't notice any difference compared to the stock battery. That small of increased capacity isn't enough to be noticeable.

If it's accurate, it's a touch over 8% gained. Rough math, but if you get 12 hours use out of stock 1800mah, then 1950mah will give you an additional 57 minutes.

That is a horrid looking battery door. I too have no problems making an 18 hour day on my stock battery. Wonder if a Tpu case will stretch over the battery with out the battery door.

The extended cover looks better physically than in picture. Its rather it's easy to grip the phone now with the extended battery with my big hands. Battery still holding out nicely as before.

My extended battery (note: it's actually 3800mah) and door came today and I must say, I am damn impressed.
This phone, even with extra-deep door, is thinner than the Galaxy S1 I just came from, so I'm strongly considering leaving it on all the time.
The extra depth and curved door is also good for holding the phone in your hand.
It's a great purchase. I bought generic off eBay for under $10.

I will say this is better than generic
it's on par with trexcell although both are of same mAh

I just purchased the 1950 slim version. Have been using it for 3 days. I got Battery Monitor Pro so I could determine true battery amperage. It's telling me 2366mAh right now but I need to give it a few more days before it settles in.

Hey nubsors I've heard those apps cant truly measure mAh curious to see how accurate it ends up being. I have a generic battery and I'm curious about its real rating.

place a stock oem battery and have it measure it

Any of you wanna send me one to test?? I'd gladly test one with my equipment and publish it over at my Epic4G Battery Reviews thread. I'd also be curious if it'd fit under one of my generic cases (regular Epic4G here) just for kicks but I can review the battery no matter what.
I'll send it right back after I get 3 solid runs of collected data for consistency.

Frifox, Gotta be careful, the high temperatures in the car will probably kill your battery... Probably want to check the charge before you take any long road trips where you might really need it.

i just toke these screen shots....
@stormtroopercs screen shots are not fake , 15$ is not that expensive for a I9100 owner, buy it and give us your review. (maybe i was lucky with the battery!)
i made battery calibration when i started using the Extended Battery.
(in average) i charge the phone almost after every 3 days.
@andreasS2 i don't trust non-original cheap items too, but the price + the 3200mha + the seller Positive feedback + the seller Exchange and Refund Guarantees made me to try this battery!
i don't regret buying it!

Well first of all I got a different case and battery from pic. Now im waiting for full charge... it at least works as I'm using it on my phone to say this
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

itll be fine for a few months and last a bit longer then the original one , then over time (a few months) the cells will die and the battery will become weaker and last less then the original
you will also find that even though the battery says 3500mah on it you wont get double the time for exampe if you get 4 hours video with the stock you wont get 8 hours video with this new battery as it probably isnt even 3500mah
i dont know how much you spent but you can get the original samsung 2000mah battery for £17 in the uk which is much better value

i think that the original 2000 mha is enough to complete a workly day as well as the phone with extended batteries loses his beaty....this is my opinion

Is there a difference in the battery physical dimensions and back cover size when comparing the Galaxy SII I9100 to the Epic 4g Touch? I'd really like to get that bigger battery but want to be sure it will fit. Thanks in advance!

Guys,

They don't have nearly the capacity they claim, you can expect about 2400mah out of them.

Official 2000mAH Battery w/ Back Cover Review

So I decided to purchase an extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus since the original (1750 mAH) battery didn't really live up to my expectations. The original battery gave decent battery life and kept the thickness of the phone to a minimum.
After receiving the battery from ebay member: mulkin, I had inspected the battery and confirmed that it was indeed the "official" extended battery for the GSM model.
I wasn't expecting the battery to come in a couple days since it was coming from South Korea, but it did take less than a week to get here to South California. Packaging was very nice and kept the battery and back cover well protected.

The extended battery cover that was included with the extended battery still has the same texture as the original. The phone also feels better with the new battery cover. The slight thickness it adds still maintains the phones low profile. The only thing it loses is the slight curve of the original battery cover right above the rear speaker. NFC works perfectly and isn't affected at all, it also works well if your using the stock battery with the extended back cover.
Overall, I am happy with the product. Battery life has definitely improved over the couple days I was using it. I am going to attach screenshots of the battery life I am getting, as well as pictures of the extended battery on the phone soon. If you have any questions, just leave a comment.
Thanks.

Thank you for the review with pictures. I have the battery as well, there is a existing thread in regards to this topic to anyone who wants additional information about this battery before making a purchase.
I personally purchased mines from shimshop.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...Accessories&hash=item1c222d0cea#ht_4976wt_905
Also genuine, ~$36 ships from South Korea.. takes about 1.5 weeks. Negri also sells this battery as well but it's ~$50.

Thanks for posting this. I was also surprised how quickly this was shipped in from South Korea (to Montreal, CA).
Also, FWIW, my Otterbox Commuter and SGP Ultra Capsules fit perfectly with the new battery door and larger battery.
And to throw this out there, you can easily get through 24 hours of casual to moderate usage on this thing... And for heavy days, I reach 4 hours of screen on time with ~25-30% remaining (@12 hours unplugged).

Now to find a white extended battery door.

I couldn't agree more with your thread.
I also like the fact that - when you set your phone down (without a case), it lies perfect FLAT.
Depends on your own preference, but the aesthetics of it pleases me greatly.

Mine arrived today and I love it. it does add some weight but just feels more sold.looking forward to seeing what screen time I can achieve with this

I just ordered one myself today, looking forward to it

What sort of gains can we expect out of an additional 250mah?
Are we talking about extra hours? Very interested...

I ordered one as well from the shimshop seller. Should arrive in a week or two, will post pics as well when it arrives, and tell you my experience

First off, thanks for the quick review. I'm thinking about ordering one of those too.
Could you tell me if the new battery cover has any gap to the actual phone, by that I mean... does it fit the phone perfectly or does it make any noise when pushing on it?

take a look at here, http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-extended-battery-and-cover-for-gsm-galaxy-nexus-226962/

Only 4 hours on screen time? I average over 5 on mobile data with mine, pre 404. I need to do a rundown test to see how much now, probably closer to 6 hours. I do have auto brightness on though. The mah difference isn't huge, but I'll take all I can get and if it even gives a half hour more screen time then its worth it. Feels better in the hand too.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Could you take a picture of the "inside" of the battery cover please? Would be much appreciated... I'm still thinking about buying one for my phone.

I've done some research and it looks like the extra 250 mah will give you about a 14% boost in battery life. So, imagine as if you start out with ~114% battery life, as oppose to ~100%.
Hm... still undecided if that's worth the extra $36 and slight thickness added to the phone...

, that's not bad. I probably would have gotten that too but that day where I took that screen shot, I was listening to a lot of music so that's why the screen time was sort of low.

Extended Batteries... Mugen vs Original Samsung

I am looking to keep my white GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus naked as the bulk is just too much, and I need as much comfort in my hand as possible...
That being said: does anyone want to chime in on how the Mugen extended battery is performing compared to stock and/or the original Samsung /w battery door?
I have the original samsung extended battery, but no white door to put on...
Thanks guys.

One thing to note if you are buying a replacement battery... the NFC antenna is built into the battery. If this is a feature you use, make sure your new battery has it.

I am waiting for my 4000mah mugen battery including nfc. But would also love the pogo car dock.. Too bad in does not fit anymore with the New battery..

Both will give you about 80% of the capacity they put on the label. Everyone else will give you much less than that, 70% tops, and often half or less.

I think these cheapo $10 3800 extended batteries on ebay are pretty good if you come in with the right expectations.
Yes, we know they aren't 3800, and are closer to 3000, but that still gets you about 1000mah more than the stock battery.
Yes, they lose their capacity over time more quickly than a genuine battery, but you should treat these types of batteries as disposable.
Buy one for $10, use it for 6 months and then buy another one.

The only thing that keeps me away from buying them is that batteries, in a general way, are pretty dangerous for the environment, specially cheap ones. And I wouldn't like to make that kind of waste buying several batteries.

the only downside is the back cover, I don't know what its called in English , but the tips thats go in the phone body can easily be broken

From the comparison pic above, it seems to be a hair over double the thickness of stock battery. Correct?

Can you use batteries rated higher than 1800mAh?

Can you use batteries rated higher than 1800mAh in the Samsung Epic 4G?
I see Anker batteries are the preferred choice. I found the 1800mAh sold by them. But I also see other batteries with ratings higher than 1800mAh, at 2200 and 2400mAh. However, they don't seem to be sold or recommended for use with the Epic 4G.
Just wondering what the highest rated mAh I can use with this phone.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes you can use a higher mAh battery. I myself use a qcell battery. Which states that it's around 4000 mAh.
You could use really any battery as long as it's the right voltage, and of course would fit.

The availability of the 'slim' extended batteries is not looking good. As this phone has been around quite a while, I believe the supply/demand of after market batteries has gone down as well because I could not find one of those a few months ago when I looked.
I believe you're stuck with stock. I really prefer the extended as I get at least twice the life of the standard yield battery and will never go back. Good luck.

Yes you can use a higher mAh battery. I myself use a qcell battery. Which states that it's around 4000 mAh.
You could use really any battery as long as it's the right voltage, and of course would fit.

I have a qcell as well, and yes it does have the bulk on the back but.... I prefer it!
Where it is located it actually gives me a much better grip on my phone. I can grab it much more solidly. Plus it raises up the speaker a little if you are listening to music thru it, its not as muffled because speaker isn't blocked by the table. Plus the 2 to 3 days of battery life I get from it is amazing and well worth the extra dimensions IMO

Agreed, I prefer it as well. The extra battery is definitely worth it. I can make it a whole day with every syncing and overclocked.
Plus it fits under the black body glove case I bought. You can barely even tell it's a extended battery under the case.

Can you use batteries rated higher than 1800mAh in the Samsung Epic 4G?

I purchased one recently from Ebay, but I can't post the link here because I'm new to the site. Search Ebay for "2450mAh High Capacity Battery for Samsung Galaxy S2 II SCH-R760 R760X EB625152VA" in the photo you'll see for phone d710. They shipped the correct battery.
It's a slightly bigger battery, so the case barely snaps on. But working just fine on my E4GT SPH-D710.
