Ok, i believe that i read some time back that you could use a touch pro 2 battery in the evo. correct me if im wrong, but if the stock battery that we use is as true to 1500mah, wouldnt the HTC manufactured 2150 mah be one of the best extended batteries to buy? I have found a couple for sale, and wanted to be sure that the touch pro 2 battery does in fact work in our evo. thanks and sorry for yet another battery post.

Here is the amazon link to the batteries. I know they wont fit under our stock door but for 10 slices of paper from my wallet plus the addition of having to buy another stock evo battery cover to modify to fit this battery, I feel like this isn't a bad deal considering the price. I should get the battery sometime around Friday or Monday of next week. Will post pics of said modification and results as soon as possible.
there are "3500" mAh batteries available for under $10 too. I believe they are closer to 2800. I've found the yoobao 3000mah batteries to be the best, got mine for 20 shipped.
and yes, the tp2 will work in an evo. you aren't going to be able to mod the stock cover to fit that. just buy an extended cover, you can get them with the battery for about 8.

Well I'm gonna hack up my old battery Cover so the battery will stick through. I have one of those crystal gel cases that will hold the battery in place, I just want the cover there to act as a speaker cover. The extended covers make the phone too large. I think this will keep the phone slim it will only be slightly thicker than it is now. I have come up with a couple of designs as well that allow me to use the stock battery door and hold the battery in place without my case. Like I stated in my earlier post, I'll post up the concept and see what ppl think. I just wish they made a battery cover that went around the battery and not make the entire back bubble out.
Check out the Mugen 4500 mah battery if you will be hacking up your back cover... I think there is a thread that has info for it.. Search
Gimme a week and ill post what im doing. Lol i still wanna keep the phone slim for the most part, so no 3500 or 4500 mah batteries

I'm loving my Yoobao 3000mah battery. With medium use, overclocking and custom kernel, I get about 36 hours out of my phone. Well 28-29 not counting sleep time.
verdict 2150mha touch pro 2 battery DOES NOT WORK!!!! Repeat DOES NOT WORK! So i bought a sedio 3500 battery and fell in love with that instead!
I've recently gone ahead and purchased two extra batteries (extended higher capacity versions). One 3300 mAh and one 4300 mAh. They both come with their own special (larger) battery back cover. This in turn makes the phone much thicker and no normal case or protector will fit anymore. I've looked everywhere and just can't find any larger cases.
Has anyone found or know where to look for larger cases that will fit S3's that have extended batteries? I really do need to find something.
Thanks

Issue is that not all that is on Amazon.com is available on the .CA site too... that link in the posting helped and talked about the Cell and Hyperion batteries and cases... as for Cell..can't get any of those on .CA site but thankfully the Hyperion cases were available so I ordered that...it literally was the only larger cases I could find online...but at last its something. Thanks aka for the link.

Anybody here has any idea where I can get the Hyperion's extended battery outside of US? Or anywhere that does international shipping as I'm quite interested in it.
Wish there was a more protective case available then the TPU ones personally

I think you are looking for what is called a Power Bank rather than just an extended battery:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerBank-E...GXCK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1345985658&sr=8-4
This is the one I am considering.
I've posted a few pics below. The only back cover that I could find with the Anker 4400 was blue so that's what I have on there. Can't really tell with the cover on. I might spray it with some white if I don't like it. I have a size comparison with my wife's iPhone in a Speck case. Not much thicker. I'll be carrying this setup around SXSW next year.

Sorry for the late reply, yes it does fit. Picture attached! Fits pretty good, is not loose by any means but it goes in and out as it did with the Surface Case for the stock backplate and battery. It goes in all the way to the bottom and the top spring clip holds fine.

Hi everybody,
This is my first topic in this forum, but I have already read you lots of time and you were very helpful for me. I have a problem with my Galaxy nexus, for work I travel a lot, but I’m not able to reach evening with the phone turn on. I do not want to change the inside software with a mod application, so I decide to buy an extended battery. I live in Italy and the only one avaible for my phone is an Mtec battery. There are lots of review in the net about it, and they are quite good. With the extended battery the old TPU cover can’t fit properly, so I need a new one. I looked about a “Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery HoneyComb TPU Case”, and it seems good , so, have someone use this cover with a standard internation extended battery (not yperion, Anker, Qcell battery)?
Regards,
Sorry for my English , It isn’ t my mother language

I own and like mine.
It will last about 14 hours using GPS / maps, heavy network use and some browsing during lunch. Also have the "Hyperion TPU Case" - search ebay for bundled deals. I really like still having 20% battery left when I get home and not carrying a car-charger AND a spare battery.
I purchased the Hyperion battery and absolutely love it. I also ordered two cases with it. Instead of the Hyperion case, I got the Trexcell tpu case for the galaxy nexus and 3800 mah battery; reviews were better, and I can verify that it is a good fit. I also got the Seidio extended Convert Combo, and love it.

That was why the TPU case that I got (along with the Seidio) was the one from Trexcell instead of Hyperion. The Trexcell TPU case has the buttons already cut out. The Trexcell is quite nice, although I've hardly used it since trying the Seidio extended convert combo.

No... The Trexcell TPU is a typical TPU case. Somewhat flexible, but stiffer than rubber or silicone. It's actually quite nice for the price.

If you want batteries that list an MAH that could possibly be fake then get it. I learned my lesson ordering no name brand batteries and had a 3800mah extended from china performing worse than my stock oem 1800mah battery. If those are truely 4200 then they'll probably deteriorate extremely fast just like my generics. Stick with QCell they're still working perfect after a year for some members that have had it that long. Check the QCell thread. It's worth the money to get it instead of those since you'll end up spending money on one of those batteries and then again to replace it with a QCell lol. You can get the 4100MAH for around 20$ on Amazon. It might be only the ones with the white back covers that are 20 or black and the other is more expensive. If you do get a QCell and want to trade for a black cover let me know I have a Qcell black battery cover I'm trying to switch to a white one.
OK thanks man , so I'll stick with Qcell then, thought I was also want to get the texcell tmp or whatever the case is called, I heard the it fit the Qcell fine

A bunch of the guys that bought the Trexcell 3800mah battery reported having issues with it after like a month. I read a bunch of people saying that it wasn't holding the charge well. Check out the QCell thread its about 40 pages but its full of a lot of info. I read over it like 4 times no lie before I settled on the QCell since i didnt really want to get another fail extended.
Go QCell all the way I love it. Closest thing to zero lemon for our device. Do yourself a solid and grab the trexcell extended battery tpu case with the QCell. Just an example of my average battery life....

One last question , and I know this may sound silly.. With the trexcell TPU case and Qcell... if you lay the phone on its back will it lay straight/flat? I use gravity screen on/off and am wondering it will work because I don't know since there is a bulge if the phone will lay flat or not ( I don't like to lay it on it's screen )

The phone lays flat on its back with the extended battery cover without an issue for me. It even has these little dots that stick out in the corners of where the extended battery is so it gives it a better grip when you lay it down.

Does anyone know of an extended battery case for the t989 that has better than 3000mah? I'm NOT talking about using an extended battery that replaces the original stock battery and requires you to modify the back of your phone, I'm talking about a case like this:
Cannot paste url because of forum rule...
Search Google for: PowerSkin for Samsung Galaxy S™ III
2nd result.
But instead of it being for the Samsung Galaxy S3 it would be for the T989, and it would have 3000mah or better.
Look in the accessories forum. There is one in thread about laza extended battery. A case that fits 3800mah battery.

I cannot find any good pictures to give me an answer myself. I want to make sure we are on the same page, this Laza extended battery case does NOT make you take off the stock back cover of your phone and does NOT make you switch out your stock battery, rather it is just a BATTERY CASE that slip over your phone just as any normal case would, correct?
No clue as i am not an owner of one. I saw it in the forum, it fits the extended battery cover. I'm sure it will fit the regular battery cover as well thou leaving a bulging void inside between the cover and the case

So basically, there isn't any battery case over 3000mah that fits the standard phone, just all the extended batteries with the modified back cover of the phone.

Not saying its true....but I've never personally came across one. Sounds cool tho!
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda app-developers app
I just don't understand why they don't exist in anything higher than 3000mah. I personally hate extended batteries, I know that this case solves the problem of making the phone level on a flat surface, but you're adding more width to the phone with the modified back cover, then you bulge it out even more with a case to level it; personally this sounds like a waste of money, and when you have your phone in your pocket, it will look like you have a brick in your pocket. Also, the extended batteries require more effort to remove than just removing a case. Thanks for your help guys. If anyone finds a solution to this, please post.
