Has anyone comes across a better battery for the play?
I have seen the mugen one stated in this forum but I was hoping for
a battery of around 2500mAh. The phone is great but I'm disappointed by the
battery life.
I know batteries for the X10 are compatible but have yet been unable to find a case
which will accommodate it for the play.

mugen-power said they are working on a backplate for battery I linked to in another thread in this forum. I think it is 3600 or something, I don't know about 2500mah though. I think the mugen one is your best bet seidio deosn't support sony ericsson devices.

Any idea when this will be released?
If it is the same price as the X10 battery is don't think I'll be buying it! Which is a shame because it would be perfect. But 97 dollars is a bit rich for me. Considering I bought an extended battery and case for my galaxy so and it cost me £13.

no timeframe they just said "we're actively working on one" when I asked them
as for the price, well... there is no other alternatives. I bought my play for almost 850 usd, if I woulda waited a couple weeks I could have gotten one from canada for about 650... and if I woulda waitted untill it comes out in america I could have probally gotten it subsidized for about 150-200 usd...
if you want something bad enough... you'll pay
Deleting a lot off apps after rooting did wonders for my battery life.
I agree with u on this to some extent. But considering the batteries alone cost around £10, I cannot justify spending £60 on a piece of plastic!

Guys, as svenk919 says, everyone who has rooted & removed bloatware is claiming huge battery life increases. Don't be too hasty on ordering a new one until you have witnessed for yourselves
Think I'll have a go at rooting mine tonight then!
Personnally I'm waiting till the thicker batteries with a replacement back cover come out just for the extra thickness when gaming, added battery life will be a bonus to me.

Allright
Review so far:
2500 mAh as promised
bigger backcase (Love the feeling!)
Battery itself is ROBUST if i might say that.
This thing got real quality!
It's the 'Cameron Sino' Rechargable Battery
CS-ER800BL
Was worth the buy imo!
(even if my 'new' xplay case doesnt fit now xD

I just got mine in the mail.
Let me just say, this thing is HUGE! Like, noticeably massive..
Because of this, I am delegating it as my backup battery, for those days when I know I'm going to be having heavy phone usage.
Instead of carrying around my portable charger that takes forever to give any useful charge when I'm out, this will do quite nicely.
Do you guys have a link to where to buy this? Sorry if I'm off topic here.
I have a mugen power 3600mAh and the difference is out standing I really recommend it as it can go for up to 3 days on one charge. Xperia Play is designed for a big battery! especially if you game on it.

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 tried this Ecell 2430MAH battery ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-2430M...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326647685&sr=1-5
Still not even lasting a day with the stock battery. (GTmax one was better).
If this is junk think I will just get the 1800 Mugen Power one.
(I think the performance of the stock battery is horrendous - perhaps I was defrauded by shop I bought it from (One of the staff needed a new one so swapped theirs for mine etc. Never buy from Dial A Phone).
This was posted on my thread for the 2600mha battery. From what I make if it stay away from ecell. Here is the link. This is not from me but from another user on xda. I am simply pasting the link he provided.

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it
E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!
yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

I have a gt max (?) 3600mah battery and the phone seems to pick up the battery capacity with no problem. Of course, your experience may differ from mine due to differences in batteries.

i have also an 3600mha battery for my r800i and the duration icreased to about 50%.
The extended cover is really nice and fits perfectly. the only problem with the extended cover is, that it squeaks.
The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.
Would anyone consider getting this battery? It'll more than double your battery life. Problem is how big is it and can you find a case/battery door that'll fit. And do you even need it considering you can get a good 24 hours out of it already. Thoughts?

I'm not so sure the price is fare, but this is the only extended battery that I've seen with a voltage output the same as stock at 3.8v. All the others that I've seen are at 3.7v. Not even sure if it REALLY even matters that much. But I would feel better with my replacement battery being the same as stock. Just my opinion.

Guys, I found a seller on ebay india selling a ecell Gold battery of 2680 Mah capacity and it's not even so thick like other high capacity batteries!!
The following is the link:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Ecell-GOLD-2...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item3f1c9344fa
I wanted to know if this is for real or some scamster company manufacturing cheap unhealthy batteries....
If you search google, you will know they are fake! Just divide the figure by 2 and it is about right! If it is not expensive, you can try one, it won't explode if used properly!!!!
Momax 2700mAh isn't fake. The thing with those batteries is wrong reading, on Momax you stay on 0% for hours and don't know how much is left but it's still double length battery life.

A simple Kernel patch can solve the wrong reading (need unlock bootloader and custom kernel). I allready had done this before for testing purposes.

Oh, I thought it didn't work .
most definitely fake. I purchased one of these before and they were exactly the same as the one that came with the phone
Keep in mind that 99% of aftermarket batteries are Li-Ion, whereas the original battery that comes with the phone is Li-Po.
If you're looking for a Li-Ion replacement battery, you'd want to get one that's higher than 1500mAh as to get a comparable/better battery life compared to the original battery.
With these super high capacity batteries, as stated, you'd need a kernel patch and/or battery recalibration to really get the most out of them. I haven't done this with the Arc (yet), but I have with my previous phones. If you're willing to give up the thin-ness of the Arc, you could potentially have a really decent long-range media device (etc).
Try checking ecell reviews over Amazon, they have very few buyers and ratings varies with each product..
I once bought a smartphone cover from e_cell on ebay, then i found a much cheaper alternative of the exact same case from chinese seller on ebay and dealextreme. I believe these batteries are generic and probably the dudes over e_cell just import chinese toys and sell them at a higher pricetag.. If not mistaken, i think i bought some replacement battery from e_cell for my psp slim, the results does not reflect the printings on the battery at all.
