Yup, that is the Chinese made ebay battery and battery door. You can buy it for $10 shipped on ebay. The battery last almost as long as Siedio's $70 battery, if not as long. Also, the battery door looks MUCH better than Seidio's battery door.I hate Seidio's door and love this one, it looks right in place on your phone where Seidio's looks like an akward after thought....

Can you post a link to them?

I got that same on ebay for 8$ shipped lol.

How much extra life do you get with this Ebay Chinese extended battery? I am wanting one bad, because when I use my phone the battery drains so quickly. When just sitting there in standby it last a long time, but sometimes I like to just lay back on the couch and play games, music, surf the internet or do many other things with my phone. If anyone will post their experience with these Chinese batteries, I would very much appreciate it. I don't trust any of the reviews on the site from OP.

I got it!
I got 2 batteries, 2 back covers and wall/usb charger of this same battery off of Ebay a couple of weeks ago for $29.99 plus $7 shipping. They were working good on Myn release #3 pretty well as they reached max conditioning. I have got almost 30 hours with 4 to 5 hours of uptime. Now trying to finalize my setup of Myn #4 so I can get same performance.

Can we use that seidio case for this battery is just ordered one yesterday from that website you put out I am using the otterbox one now need it for that extended battery

They work great!! They really are just as good as the Seidio. There is a LONG thread on AndroidForums. Some people have both the Seidio battery and the ebay battery, and say that they last an equal amount of time. As far as how long it will last you, that all depends on how you use it (as I'm sure you know). With light use mine will easily go over 30 hours up time and with heavy use I can still get 15 hours up time with 7 hours awake time. FWIW, GPS and mobile data are on 100% of the time on my phone and bluetooth and wifi also run a good bit with the occasional 4G. YMMV

damn guys I use my phone a lot and I get at least 30 hours with the stock battery. i'm thinking the extended battery would give me more like 50 hours. I have one but i've never actually used it since my phone already last over a full day.

These Chinese batteries they are selling on eBay are actually two batteries stuck together and wrapped up...

OEM Extended Battery & CRAP Cover only $29 - TAKEN DOWN

http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Extended-Ba...ccessories&hash=item564538af3b#ht_1842wt_1371
Already got mine from VZW, but if these are real (he states OEM, so if it's not he is violating eBay policy) it's a deal you can't really pass up if you want the extra battery life.
**NOTICE** Users have found out that, while the actualy battery in this auction is the OEM HTC 2750, the battery door is a cheap knockoff. It is a solid black battery door that does not fit on easily. The seller is offering a $4 refund to anyone who purchased.
I would get the refund, try demanding for more, and then be sure to report the listing to eBay also.
EDIT #2 The listing has been taken down.

Wow, good find. I just ordered one. Thanks

Just bought one, any easy way to verify authentic vs knockoffs?

If you already own an extended you can get one for really cheap without the door!

God damnit I bought mine from Verizon like two months ago for $50.

Wow, price has really come down. I can't see myself without an extended battery nowadays. Def worth the money.

have been considering an extended battery..price's are more reasonable now. will probably make the plunge soon. any big time differences with all the mah's out there?

Pretty good deal.

Anyone get one yet? I need one but want to make sure this is legit
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

I got one. Don't get it, the battery is legitimate but the door is a plain black door and not the HTC door. It works but it doesn't for my active extended case.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

My battery door doesn't even snap in place. The seller offered me a $4 refund but my request was for a replacement door. I couldn't even find a replacement door online for less than $10.

Same here. It feels like it will break but put the bottom 3 tabs in first and gently push down around the sides and it should go on.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

After a few email exchanges between myself and the seller, I opened a case on eBay. He/she refused to refund more than $4 and refused a return. The cheapest authentic cover I could find was $18.00.
At this point I will just go to the Verizon store and pick one up.

Just how much of a difference does the extended battery makes? I mean it is worth $50?

It is to me, on a normal workday my phones go from fully charged to nearly dead within 3-4 hours. I carry around a spare battery for my Galaxy S but with my Thunderbolt this extended battery has gone all day and then some.
Granted my usage isn't the norm by any means but it greatly extended my time between charges.

Mugen Extended Battery (Lots of Pics)

Hey guys,
Just got the mugen extended battery in the mail. Their regular shipping somehow took longer than 3 weeks and I still have not received the item, so I asked them to reship using FedEx. Guess what, it took 2 days to get to Richmond Hill, Canada, which is just north of Toronto.
Anyways, just though I'd upload some high quality pics with measurements so if any of you guys are planning on buying it, you guys have a sense of how things ll look when you get it.
Feel free to update this with your own pictures.
Update 1: More pictures of battery on phone. Post #10
________________________________________________________________________________
After using this for some times, I believe I can give a rather full rounded review of this case
Make and Looks:
After looking at the pics below, it is definitely safe to conclude that if you cannot stand additional bulk to the galaxy nexus, this extended is definitely not a recommended, as it does double the thickness of the phone. Also, this battery is not for those who are seriously concious of the way their phones look, as this is, to be honest, not the best looking extended battery pack out there.
HOWEVER, if you are like me, and enjoy funtion over form, it would be my pleasure to say that this battery is definitely recommended. The back casing of the Mugen Power battery mimicks the back of the galaxy nexus to provide users with enough grip so as to reduce the slipperiness and possibilities of drops. Also, the battery which is rated at 4000mah does add some weight to the phone, which to me is a great addition as it just feels that the phone is more secure in my hands with the added weight. The battery, when installed on the phone, depicts the resemblence of a humpback whale, which not to say is ugly in anyway, it is simply Unique. The kickstand is a bit flimsy, but that is just an additional use of the new backing to watching movies and videos, so can't complain there.Lastly, the camera holes are perfectly cut out for the 5MP camera, it does not affect picture quality in anyway, but does take away from the original good looks of the phone.
Usage
To be honest, the GNEX isn't among the top performing android handsets in the battery department. Getting through a full day with my full usage has always been a problem, no matter what brightness setting I set. Battery times for me has always been 13-16 hours with 3-4 hours standby, and that is already after using franco kernel and aokp.
Now, with the Mugen Power battery, I can say this: I have a GMAXXXXXXXXXX. The battery after 3 - 5 charge cycles is AMAZING! Unlike other cheap extended batteries, I would say that mugen lived up to their name, as this battery is more than what they described as double my battery life. With it, I get by two days with super super super heavy usage including a ton a gaming, videos, and auto-sync and wifi on 24/7. That is around 2 days 3 hours with 7-9 hours screen on with the screen at around 50% brightness!!
Would I recommend?
Yes, I would definitely recommend this extended battery to anyone out there. If the price of said Mugen Battery is within your acceptable budget limit, there is no other battery that compares to what Mugen is delivering. And as the old saying goes, "You get what you payed for".

Thanks for this, please post back your results

The seido doesnt even look good on it. try the SGP Neo Hybrid, cut the back flap off, so the battery sticks through , and that way, it looks sexy and it provides the functionality you need

What's with the lip around the back? is it because of your cut? BTW, whats the material on the back of the seido? it doesnt look plastic..is it matte or something?

Yes it's because of the cut. I could probably cut a little more to make it more streamlined.
The seidio with NFC has a soft touch battery cover. It matches the case and feels great in the hand.

Very big fan, and I won't often stick my neck out on such matters. I used my phone a lot today (although not my craziest of usage days) and I was on 81% at 7pm. I told my girlfriend (whose iPhone was dead) but she didn't care at all

Same issue with my friends phone.
Battery works just fine , but the cover won't click in properly.

I have one of the hyperion extended batteries, it works great but make the phone look like a turtle, spoils all the benefit of the nice slim design the note has going for it. However, it does sit better in the hand though. I use it occasionally, like on some days when I know I'll be out using my GPS and data heavily and still I have like 40% remaining. Does not double the battery life but more like 1 2/3 good thing is I can use my phone heavily for the entire day and not wonder if I will have juice remaining.

i'm planning to buy a new battery. i will remember of this 5000mah. thank you.

I do own one! This battery rocks!
Tremendous Capacity! It lasts 2 days with ease (with minor use) :good:
Believe me when I say this, but this battery is DEFINITELY worth the money!
Something else that you should pay attention (very important!) is the quality of the cover, since it is unique with your battery and there is no replacement!
I used another battery like this before with a "sweat" kind of plastic cover and with no side stand. Bigger cover, more difficult to handle, which I was forced to remove afterwards, due poor quality and increased wear.
THIS SPECIFIC cover, is covered by an excellent quality and increased strength!
It is surely a good buy!

Update
Update on my experience with this case. I already tore the leather for the flip front cover, so to me that part is poorly made. I simply cut it off since I didn't want to see that tear all the time. On Saturday upon receiving this case I fully charged both my phone and the case and started using them both around 4 PM. With normal use for me the case died today around 10 AM and I have been running off of the phone battery every since.
I can't say that I'm going to use this case every day as it makes the phone a little bulkier than I would like, but for me, this case will come in handy more often than not. Overall, I am happy with my purchase thus far with the exception of the tear. We will see how it does after several charging cycles.

I'm not too much of a fan of flip cases. They conform you to use the device as a book or in landscape orientation. If they made a version that would flip upward like a traditional paper note pad as opposed to off to the side. definitely buy it if one was made like that. I wish mophie would make their charging cases for the note 2.
