Okay so I found myself in need of a new battery after the last post I made about it screwing up, so I went shopping and found a replacement to the mugen 3500hz battery for $85.00.
I ran across a Hyperion 3500hz battery and because it had no ratings and was cheaper, I almost didn't buy it..
Now, I bought one and I got it within 3 days of purchase, which is by far the fastest I have ever got shipping from anyone, even over night shipping.
Now onto the battery, it came with a cover and it made my phone twice the size of its original state, it came with a new cover as it was needed to fit my phone, I'm glad it fit well and since I have big hands, its ideal as now I can use the slide out keyboard!! Big bonus for me!
Alright so they suggest to let it charge for 12 hours (so slow charging of course it makes since).
They suggest to do a 5 time charge and drain, for best results of the battery and best life.. I always do this anyways because that's what all batteries are supposed to be done with anyways.
I have not yet got to test it as I just got it today, so I will update this once I get the chance, like a week or so.
The Hyperion group offers a full 90-day warranty of the product, that was the downfall but $13.00 and free standard shipping and $4.00 expedited shipping, I was willing to take a chance.
So now I have to test its performance and will update this but its looking better already.
My kernel tweaks will let me benchmark the battery and I will post a few screen shots and pics later as well.
-+-+-Okay so this is the edit -+-+-
I think a few links are in order:
The Hyperion 3500mAh battery from amazon:
amazon.com link
The Google play battery monitor widget link:
[URL=" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dbattery+monitor+3c" ]Battery Monitor Widget - 3c[/URL]
These are the tools and the battery used for this evaluation. I hope you will enjoy this app!
Okay day one:
This battery is awesome! I have not had to charge at all since last night and I'm still at 60% since last night leaving my phone on Facebook all night was not an issue, I also played music a lot, will game tonight or tomorrow and bench the battery as soon as possible.
So my battery lasts as long on wifi as it would on just cellular data connection and I can leave it run all day no issues thus far.
I've had to charge it for three and a half hours, so those who don't have that amount of time without the phone, might wanna look into other options.
Thanks for the information...I'm wondering if you'd be willing to load Battery Monitor Widget and see what it reports the actual mah as...thanks.
I'd link it...but haven't posted enough to be able to link...yet.
Sure. I will load a couple different battery and screenshots.
Its made by the same dev team as system tuner so no doubt I should have already had this lol thanks for the new tool and one sec I'll load a screenshot
I'm not sure if I should let this log a while before I use it but heres a few screenshots after I installed.
I have a lot running too in the background and nothing's been adjusted since I bought the battery. Hope that this helps everyone.
If anyone has a good oem battery that they could post the specs of id appreciate it
Also if anyone has the specs of a mugen battery (I'm not rich or brave enough to drop $80.00 on a battery), you'd be doing the community justice as well by letting us all see the spec details of that battery too.
And after its had time to gather info, here is the update
And I will post another later on after I get the chance to charge it and let it give a full charge detailed view.

Okay so upon actually going into the settings, your supposed to set the battery mAh as it was mentioned.
The battery calibration tool will set this apparently, I have to go through it all when I have the time because I gotta go to work for now but, I will take care of it so don't hold all the new screenshots to heart as I haven't had time to ajust it.
Anyways the battery in general on the package says 3500mAh so we will see.
Thanks foe patience and I will purchase this app to use for future tests
Okay I have a few min and set it up some what.. anyways I have never used this battery monitor widget so bare with me as I figure it out. Here is a screenshot of my updated settings thus far.

Thanks for your efforts...is that 3500mah now being reported from using the Calibration feature in the app...or did you input it manually?
Okay its not fully charged, but I have a better understanding of this app and I must say it was quite easy once I read the online help.
Okay so the mAh is indeed 3500/3500 which the second number is what the battery is supposed to be according to the factory settings. However, as the battery drains it looses mAh, which after reading I found is natural, its just the capacity it can hold, but.. I seen it can Max out at a higher level which makes my new battery my best hardware upgrade to date
Okay so screen one:
A show of the capacity at maximum possible.
Screen 2:
A show of the timing. I am showing all my power hungry apps and those I run most often, why? Because this helps to show the newbies and others who didn't know what they will get of their battery and what's best to shut off or uninstall.
Screen 3:
This just shows full run time after a full charge. I wanted to share it so you can see what to expect from usage of the battery and I can honestly say that I have had it last depending on a few variables. If I drop my processor down from 1.28ghz to its factory 1.0ghz I get much better performance, but if I run 20 apps and wifi, I will lose as well and much more..
Okay so I think we should have a hardware section not just accessories, I know its a battery and kinda falls in aftermarket, but its really needed so we can share info on the phone.
Damn it I think tapatalk glitchy cuz of an update I got.. anyway here the pics hopefully in proper order

Thanks much...very helpful.
Okay so if you have any further questions I will do my best to answer but im no expert! I am just testing a new battery and it truly has my heart for its cost.
Imma provide a link to this app in market as well as a link to the battery in the first post like I should have done to begin with.
No problem man, hopefully your purchase of the dual battery is just as good.
So is this worth the money cause it would be nice to have the bigger battery
Thanks for the info

I will throw this in...having done a little more research...there is a thread on Android Forums...I can't yet post the link but Google "Beware Hyperion batteries"...talking about Hyperion batteries being much less capacity than advertised when you peel off the label and look at how the metal cases are stamped...which is a common issue with aftermarket batteries coming from China. There are also threads here on XDA about Hyperions not being what they advertise. The only two brands I've seen where people say they consistently get what they pay for seem to be Mugen, which are mega-expensive, and Anker.

Is there such thing for this phone (extended life\bigger battery)? Also, what's the model number to our current battery?
Thought I'd bring a reserve battery with me if I go on a long trip or something so I'd like to know the model.
http://www.batteryupgrade.com/shopBrowser.php#/assortmentProductId/32033648/shopGroupId/45791098
I ordered from them battery for Samsung i900 and it was exactly same quality as original.
Excellent quality !
that's not an upgrade as standard i5801 is 1500.
Yeah, thanks. A replace battery is just what I need. And I suppose a thing like an extended battery doesn't exist for our phone.
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
Get an extra one..
I have 2 batteries and it lasts for a week with minimal usage
exist program BatteryCalibration...it would help to extend battery life
you can find it in Kirillos´ROM
I wasn't looking for no crappy program to give my battery few more hours, I was looking for an extended life battery which is bigger and holds more charge. To bad those things rarely exist for phones.
I know what you mean, even old phones like google G1 have 2700mah batteries, last for weeks! but not for galaxy3. maybe i can make an extended battery by combining two g3 batteries, i will try.
We have a good battery, 1500 with the screen resolution and processor we have is really good. You have bigger and faster phones that use more juice with similar/smaller battery capacity
Yup. I'm not saying this is a bad phone or has a bad battery (I actually get good battery life), but if there is a battery that holds more charge, I'd be happy to buy it
you could also look into stuff like this.
Well that's better (and cheaper) then a spare battery, thanks for finding that one.
EDIT:
This holds 4400Mah, is probably able to charge the phone 3 times

Yup, you can't probably buy it from amazon, I was more just showing that this kind of product exists. You could google the full name of the item and see if any other place sells it
I hate the damn battery, it never last more than 17hours regardless of what kind of ROM and Base band i have flashed...Was it a fake one?
It depends a lot how you use your phone, but I myself have reached max of 100 hours with minimal-medium usage. Typical amount for me is 50-70 hours with medium usage, and max 30 hours with like, google finance updating stocks per 15 minutes and fancy widget pro using gps to show weather every 2 hours and stuff like that. Plus I use adwlauncher ex with 4d drawer and other battery-sucking stuff on. Oh and you should use setcpu profile 166\88 when the screen is off, saves a lot of battery that way

I have to charge my battery everyday I use Kyrillos' rom v5.6, fugumod alpha 14 and it sucks, thinking about buying an ordinary new one....
Also, bat calibration doesnt make a difference...
Have anyone tried this yet? Planning to get one but is it really 1700mAh... about 20% more than original battery... should last throughout the day
Can't post the link but you can search for it in ebay....
Don't do it. Usually those off brand batteries are complete junk. Even if its cheap, its a waste of money.
Thanks I was about to get one. I got the 3500maH for my old vibrant and it seemed not 3500 so I guess this one will be the same

I haven't tried the 1700 mAh ones, but I do have 3 of the standard size ones that I got off Ebay for a few bucks each. I'd say they probably have 80-90% of the capacity of the stock battery. I think that's pretty good considering the price. If I needed an extra battery, I'd consider trying it out.
Get a standalone battery charger and always keep one in the charger, so that when your battery dies, you can just swap them out. That way you never have to plug your phone in with the micro usb cable and risk breaking the jack.
i have the 1700 battery and i did notice a difference...i love my battery

I bought those for my first mt4g and you are right, the capacity was only about 80 or 90%. I sold them along with my first mt4g. I would not mind getting another pack but the problem is I'm using the tmobile prestige case the one with the kick stand. It's so hard to pry the case off to change the battery. Maybe will give the 1700 a shot

These are the ones i got and i couldnt be happier with them....I know it says for thunderbolt but its the same battery for the mt4g...i have been able to get 2 days with out any problems at stock clock speed and about 27 hours at 1.5ghz.

Two words... "Battery Calibrator" got me a slightly extended battery that is same size as standard as to avoid losing my sweet case and the charging dock so I always have a fresh batt. Name brand too. New batts take a few full charges n depleats before noticeable difference. Good stuff, good stuff...
Check out AndroidAndMe site

They look like the ones from ebay. Labels are slightly different. I will order and try them.
Battery calibrator did really help I once got 23hrs on a single charge now I use my phone more like a laptop would not last for more than 10 hrs but I need at least 12hrs for my job. Thanks for all advice and shares will report back with when new battery arrives

em2 very interesting find as aware that TB used 1400mAh battery but not same size as our MT4G. Far as stock size battery goes I am aware of the current Mugen Power 1650mAh being better than of that Seidio Innocell 1600mAh. The link you provided is 2x1700mAh for $35 which is still better than current MP1650mAh for $46. Do you have any information regarding the company that built the battery? I don't want to buy 2 as I just need 1 as I don't plan to take off my case to replace it. If you be kind enough to provide some testing for us folks we would be grateful or ill have to go with MP1650mAh as I am not big fan of Innocell.
Will the battery in the OP's ebay link fit/work in a myTouch4G with stock battery door?

Well first of all I need detail regarding the battery itself as I want to check the company out. Which would determine the build quality and durability in long run. Far as the test goes stock 1400mAh vs TB 1700mAh I would like for you to first fully discharge it and recharge it so its calibrated. Then have blacklight 100% bright and CPU running highest that you can handle. Have wifi, life wallpaper, widgets on. Then pick a HD video and let it play till your battery runs out to 1% and shuts down. Make sure you record the data along with time for result. When you compare the duration of both B(1700mAh)-A(1400mAh) you will get the time elapsed. I know thats alot to ask but I really do want to put this test and compare it with MugenPower/Seidio Innocell, thanks.

Also I don't buy random companies product that I never heard of that is another reason I asked you for the detail. But 2x1700mAh for 35dollar does seem good only obvious question is what is wrong with it?

Hey, I realize this is a lot to ask, but I really need some help fixing some things around my house. I have a hole in the drywall in my master bathroom. Could you come to my house in Atlanta, GA and patch it up for me? I'm out of drywall patches, but fortunately, there's a Home Depot that you'll pass on your way here. Also, there is a stain in the carpet in my living room. I've tried and tried for hours to remove it, using everything from the cheap cleaner that I got at the local grocery store all the way up to using pure ammonia, which made me really sick. Do you think you could come over and clean it for me? If not, maybe you could stop in Dalton (it's local, only about 100 miles north of my house) and pick me up some new carpet. Also, by the time you get here, I'll probably be pretty hungry. Think you could stop and pick up some dinner? I like Mexican food. Three beef soft tacos and a plate of cheese nachos would be great! I know that's a lot to ask, but I really do want all this stuff, thanks.
I have used the siedio 3500 for about 8 mo and it is a great battery. The reserve power is amazing. But at times I want the slim sleek Evo I purchased and like to switch back. My phone has all of the mods most Evos are running and I am quite happy. I recently purchased a Battery from eBay for $14 to test and wow! I am very pleased w this battery. It has more than met my expectations and while I have not done my true power using tests yet I can confirm it is an upgrade from the stock 1500 HTC. Placebo...maybe as the stock unit is close to a year old...but being able to have just a few more hours for a days use is very important. I use SBC and have never ran into any issues. I'm sure its nit going to produce these results for everyone but w my setup and it constantly gettijng dialed in it is well worth the $14 on eBay.
Just wanted to let people know that are lookking for a nice stock battery size upgrade that this is the one you have been wanting!

I guess, but it doesn't look like you use your phone much at all. Did you wipe your batter stats and run it for at least a week before passing judgement?
I didn't beat it up. That test is tomorrow. I did state that. But as you can see it was used it didn't sit around. If you don't want to buy it lol...don't...I am posting up for the people interested in a better than stock replacemnet. Which it clearly is.
Your display was only 5% o.0 .. you barely use ur phone.

I'm skeptical, especially after there's been battery tests that prove for a fact that a whole host of advertised ratings for aftermarket batteries ended up being way over inflated, including name brand stuff like Seidio. I'm just having a real hard time believing that they were able to cram an extra 500mAh into the same form factor when the OEM 2150mAh is almost twice as thick and requires a new battery door. But by all means, discount my comments by calling me uninformed and using anecdotal evidence after a day or 2 of use to prop up your claim.
Lmao what a joke this has turned into. Be skeptical all you want. Maidenly difference for me. I own a seidio 3500 and can laugh at anything you say to disprove it's ability..this 2000 has only seen 2full charges and does better than the 1500 stock unit. If u aren't looking for a slim battery...or do not have a few bucks to spare then I don't have to prove it to you. Whip out your card. Buy one. Then hit the thanks button on my thread. Since I don't work for this battery manufacturer I really don't need to argue have and forth w everyone that loves their stock battery and are skeptical haha.
Don't forget thanks

Relax yourself .. And obviously people look at awake time to see how much YOU USE YOUR PHONE. Just cause you have no friends to text or call since your screen is off MOST OF THE TIME, doesnt mean you have to get all rowdy.
This is uninformative. My Screen is at 14% brightness and my display uses 40% .. does that not tell you something? So sthu.
It tells me Your on a sense rom smart ass
I still dont get 40% unless i run sense
Whats ur point to argue batteries. Lmao enjoy yours.

I had a runaway eBay sucking today but after over 3 rough hours I am happy. Normally I would be at 50%. This includes 10 mins talking. 75 texts. 10 mms. Browser. YouTube. Much screwing w phone. Emails. All data is on auto sync. Only thing I had to do was log oout of eBay. Caused a 40 min wakelock. Out of this time the phone has actually been screen off maybe 30 mins.
Hey man, more power to ya. I get similar performance on my stock battery but if you want to believe that there's something magical about this battery go ahead, it's not that expensive anyway so at the very least you got a spare. I'm just saying that if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

I purchased one of those from eBay, great battery life for me, I use my phone too much and with stock I was lucky to get 4 hours, but with the 2150mAh I easily get 14 hours of heavy / almost constant use. Thats on wifi and some 3G, I have very poor reception home so but out doors using 3G and some 4G (where I actually do get some) and tons of txt and gaming and all I've gone through a full day without charging. Btw, I'm running GM v1.1 kernel overclocked to 1075 max and 422 min. I really like my Evo with the stock, but I like better battery life more
me too!! where did ya get ur tp2 2150mah battery?
I purchased a really cheap extended battery about a month and a half ago on amazon and it practically doubled my battery life for a while. Now for some reason its no where near that performance and will only last me a day or so. I already wiped my battery stats, but no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
OMG ONLY A DAY?! YOU POOR THING!
No really though. Maybe it's an app you've downloaded recently. Do a full wipe If a full day of battery life just isn't good enough for you.

Any of the ext batteries good??
May I ask what the battery was? I got a really cheap one off amazon that is supposedly 3500mAh, but it only has a slight difference in charge time =/
Hey,
I got the same extended battery off amazon, it works amazing, anyways there are several things that could be causing this issue:
1. Like someone posted before me check your apps, see whats running. Make sure to look out for the new ones because it might be running in the backround where even the task killer cant reach and killing your batter D:
2. Are you using gps 4g or any other features like that?
3. If you are rooted did you just flash a new rom? because with different roms you will get many different factors that effect your batt, with MIUI I would get over a day on the standard battery, and on sense roms il get maybe only half a day.
4. Those cheap batts are made for little and sold at little from China, so the quality isnt always the best, and it might be time to get a new one!
Hope I helped! and I hope you find a solution! good luck!
L-ion batts

Since this a very old post, I'm sure that you've already resolved the issue. It has been my experience that while L-ion batts don't have a memory, their ability to take a charge can be affected by inadequate initial charges and NOT running them totally dead, at least once in a while. Whereas wiping battery stats will help the phone's OS to ensure maximum charge and usage, the battery still needs to go through a full cycle.
I hope that I'm not wearing you out with crap you already know. (Let's just assume that someone else needs this information, too).
Now to get REALLY nerdy:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
Read that if you really want to understand L-Ion batteries.
Then, you could just have a really cheap or bad battery pack. BTW, what's that brand again? I'm about to buy one myself...LOL.
I was wondering how many people got these on sale(12 bucks on amazon) and what results they got.
Ive had mine through a couple charge cycles now and im not impressed at all, doesnt feel like its doubled my battery life.
Im at 80% after 2 hours, with only 16 minutes of screen on time. This might actually be worse than stock. The battery summary doesnt show any major drain from apps, and go launchers running app list doesnt show anything out of the ordinary either.
Im running Faux 0.9/Juggernaut 4.1/Litening theme
Im not sure what else I can do, battery is draining ridiculously fat.
It could be just be a defective one. Some custom roms dont recognize the batter stats properly as well. Try exchanging the battery for a new one and also try a different rom. Also try Wipe Battery Stats in clockworkmod recovery.

Hmm, thats kinda scary, would reflashing a rom from scratch fix that?
Also, google has stated wiping stats does nothing, thats a recent development.
As for exchanging, its from amazon, it took 3 weeks to ship this one to me lol.
It might be defective, it did take 9 hours to charge. 3500/650 should be ~ 5.3 hours, but maybe this is why it was on sale for 12 bucks.
Yes, the myth was that wiping battery stats improves the overall battery life but I was not saying this in hopes of improving it. I was just saying to see if it will correctly display how much battery life you have on your rom because one time I had a problem where my battery life stayed at 100% and after wiping it it correctly displayed how much I had left.
If it takes 9 hours to charge then I think its very likely that you do have a defective one. Rechargeble batteries tend to show that kind of symptom when you charge it often without letting it drain first. Try completely draining your battery below 10% and fully charge without stopping (dont pull the plug). If the battery life is still the same and it still takes around 9 hours to charge then I think its safe to say you do you have a defective one.
Also, please double check that the particular battery that you have is compatible with SGS2 Hercules model. Look at the battery information and compare it to the stock one. Make sure the voltages match.
I flashed Mr X's kernel, since Faux has been off since 0.07 for me.
When i charged it last night, it was from 0%, and it took around 3 hours to reach 34%, so im estimating the 9 hours based on that.
The stickers on it say 'Replacement for Hercules T989' Li-Ion 3.7v, i dont have my stock battery atm so i cant see if its the same, ill check that later.
I find it faster to charge using the usb plug converter instead of off the laptop using the usb cable. If I were you, I'd just use the stock battery until the new one ships in. I believe that's your best bet.
I may not even seek a replacement. It was 12 bucks, shipping would cost half the cost of the battery, and it would take them 3-4 weeks to ship another. The original order took 3.5 weeks to be delivered.

Well then, they shouldnt sell it in the first place. Now I'm wondering what kind of reviews it got on that site.
Peal off the cover of the battery. It should say how big the battery actually is. I highly doubt its 3500. But you never know

I was about to say this. You more or less likely got a fake Chinese battery that claims it's "..." mAh, but in reality it's significantly less. I've seen this happen too many times on the EVO 3D forums.
Theres no label, the writing is printed on.

This is it here.
Here is one of the reviews: Looks like the same story as yours.
2.0 out of 5 stars Lasts same as the original, January 19, 2012
By Sunny - See all my reviewsThis review is from: GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh) for Samsung T-Mobile Hercules SGH-T989 (Package include a Neck Strap) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I was excited to get this battery thinking that it would atleast give me one and half times more backup than the original. However, the backup i'm getting is not any better than the original battery. I will see for a couple of more days and if it is still same, i'll move back to the original battery and keep this one as back up. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Most cheaper priced batteries out there engage in false advertising. Don't believe the mah numbers you see even if they are the same as the stock oem battery. Its cheap for a reason just like the fake micro sd/flash drives for sale at Ebay. There are also shady vendors in Amazon who pump up their own ratings by leaving positive reviews especially the "ProdiCell" cell phone battery brand. With the exception of Seido and Muge, I would only stick with Samsung oem batteries. The Samsung Nexus extended oem 2100 mah battery is really good for $24.99 (50% off 49.99 at the Verizon store). I do see the extra 14% life. I went 34 hours the other day on stock 2.3.6 before my phone died. I actually ran 30mins of video at the end to run out the charge.
Ill try this out with synergy, since faux i heard was a drainer, and if no luck ill stick my stock battery in and continue to use my ballistic case. Ill also give it one more day.
Never tried an alternative battery till this one, and if im gonna go bulky again ill get that 3900 mah mugen, since that appears to be the real deal.
