Long story short: It really seemed fishy at first, then I had used the battery for 11+ hours and battery life is at 33% atm :good:
I watched youtube vids for at least half an hour, played real racing for an hour and every often I kept on browsing the web. Battery is AWESOME and looks like it really is 1950mAh. My brand new Samsung original battery lasts shorter than this battery
The battery comes in a nice bubble wrap with a good quality sticker protecting the battery pins. Really can not understand still how something like this can be this high quality yet this inexpensive. Gives my $29.99 Original battery a HUGE run for its money
Get yours here for $3--> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251307473117?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Hey. The battery works like a dream
2 weeks and no problems getting 8-12 hours with some youtubing and gaming. Using JellyBam 10.1, it took 3 weeks to come to canada

Then it seems that 1950mah is only sticker on it, 1-2h difference is coming from that the original battery you had is old and new one is just fresh...

Used this battery for almost 2 weeks, so far so good. :good:
thanx for the info on the battery.. will get one for me and one for my wife..
i bought this battery a month ago nothing special
just a cheap second battery and in no way 1950 mah
don't get me wrong for 3 euro it is awesome
The only fear is from explosion or something like that with replaced battery.
Just bought 2 from a seller on fleabay uk at £3 each, difference is mine dont have the samsung brand but instead have smaller "For Galaxy S2" printed on both sides, maybe samsung is finally doing something about all the fake sammy batteries being sold and genuine buyers getting stung, i fully understand that oem batteries are in most cases cheaper and can be as good as the original but if it says samsung it should mean genuine samsung and not have a half truth half way down a sellers listing saying packed in bubble wrap not a genuine product and no mention of any warranty whatsoever, still fleabay wont enforce the "genuine non genuine" listings because they claim they cannot police every seller !doesnt stop them taking their fees from every seller though.
haha awesome
yap, its cheap ,
I buy some different brand for S2,
but stock bat. usually have more cycle life than other :cyclops:
Huh! Going to order this..

Clearly the writing on the outside of these batteries are lies, since they do not last as long as they should.
However, for the cheap price - it does supply you with those extra critical hours you might need.
Also, the charger is very handy and also works with the stock battery! (hopefully does no harm!)
I ordered a 3600mAh battery from eBay last week. I don't suppose you have tried one of those yet have you?

Didn't see this one! No I haven't tried it.
Upon receiving yours, I suppose you should calibrate it using Battery Left (there's a free version) and I could add it to this thread for others to use as a reference?

Heey Navalynt!! Good to see you here man, rocked a couple of your mods for the Atrix!
About this battery, do you seriously expect it to make a difference? You won't be able to fit any case on the phone either. On the other hand, 16$ isn't the end of the world..
(Also, how do you charge them both, suppose you'll need a cradle of some sort?)
Thanks for posting, never did think these sketchy batteries were any good.
I ordered a 2 billion mAh battery from a Chinese located eBay seller, it doubles as a car battery too. Should probably last an extra 30-40 seconds longer than my OEM 1750 mAh battery from Samsung.

Re calibrating the 1900mAh battery today, will post updated stats later.
Added the re-calibration of the 1900mAh. First reading wasn't bogus, the battery lasted even less second time round! ~6 hours!
So in other words, whatever it's rated at, cut it in half if its cheap crap.
Any chance you going to do the Official Extended Battery for GSM?
I will probably order one in the future but not immediately. However I would appreciate if someone calibrated their extended battery and posted a BatteryLeft screen here, as it would most likely incline me to buy one quicker!!

Thanks for the review. The 1900 mah battery stats are an eye opener. I ordered the 2300 mah battery, when it comes I will provide feedback if you haven't already by that time. Hopefully its better than the stock gsm battery. lol

Not worth it. Just buy two OEM batteries...
I don't believe in aftermarket batteries from my many experiences of it messing up my phone...it has to do something with the inconsistency of the voltage. That's just me though...
If there is a good reliable aftermarket battery out there I'm open to check it out....
I ordered one should get it by monday the 6th. will test it out and reply with results it was only 20 bucks so my hopes are low but we will see how it turns out
Its be great if this actually worked...especially the slim

stop buying from a non-reputable company...seido or mugen has been doing this for a long time and their product works.
Ehhh been trying this 3650 QCell battery now nothing great this is moderate to heavy usage
Sent from the iPhone° killer
should be not bad given at this price range.
My friend got one of these. Its the same as the 12 dollar GTMax's, no diff from stock really.
Mugen batteries are probably worth the investment if you use your phone that heavily.
that's odd, cuz i got the qcell galaxy nexus one and also a gtmax version. the qcell one last longer than the gtmax one. perhaps it's luck of the draw. I'm going to give this one a try and see how it is
What is your conclusion after using that battery for a month? Is it better that stock one or worse?

I was actually considering to buy this ... but now I think it's not worth it.
I have also ordered one of these and i should have it on the 16th. I am new to xda so my opinion may be shrugged off but i have had my fair share of ext batteries. When i test this battery out i will post my results. I consider myself a power user so you will have results based on heavy use.

experience with qcell 3650mAh
I tried this battery out for about 3 weeks and did get noticbly longer battery life about 23 hours+ with heavy to moderate usage so IMO it was worth it ($10) altough i hated the extended battery cover the battery did keep my phone on relatively longer. only issue after about a month I cant charge the battery with my cable anymore, not sure if its the cable or not so im back to stock.
Extended battery 23-25 hours of heavy usage
Stock battery 12-15 hours of heavy usage
Hope this helps Hit thanks if if does

Here is my update on this Qcell battery from Amazon I have been texting and browsing the web and playing crime city pretty heavily and have gotten fantastic results from this battery. I am using the juggernaut 5.0 ROM and have no complaints about it yet. Does not get excessively hot while chafing using the OEM cord that came with my galaxy s2. Hopefully I answered some of your questions everyone have a good weekend!

Would I be better off buying a third party, supposedly high capacity battery like this one or buying an original Samsung battery? I'm looking for an extended battery life, but I read none of the "high capacities" perform substantially better?
I received my new battery a few days ago, it last less than my old one, I hope this is only due to calibration time and things will get better in a few day...

A few weeks ago I purchased one of these Polarcell 2700mAh batteries.
It took a few cycles but now the battery life is amazing. Yesterday I had been texting and chatting on skype pretty much all day and I was surprised my battery wasn't empty yet so I went into the settings to check my screen on time.
My screen brightness was on auto and I don't have any apps like noled that keep the screen technically on but don't consume a lot of battery. All I did was use Skype and Gosmspro.
So if anyone is looking for a replacement battery, I can recommend the Polarcell 2700mAh..
Bravo. Although a stock battery can be as good as new.

Just bought one today for my galaxy s3 , i was confused about which battery to buy and how it would act.. I just saw your post now, so i feel that I did a good discussion :good:
screen shot
Could you please post screen shot of your About Phone with details of Rom/Kernel you're on? Thanks
Does it lose its charge in the next few weeks?
are these batteries the same dimension as the stock one? I mean, do I have to use a different back cover(bulky phone)?
@Octhellio which rom and kernel do you use ?
Been using a polarcell 2700 for a few months - and no matter what rom/kernel(both TW based or CM/PA/AOKP) I have been using - it holds its charge extremely well Worth the $$$
Great topic!
Do you know if the PolarCell is better than the MoTec?

I have search for reviews of Polarcell batteries, and found several happy users in many others phones.
So I bought two units on Ebay, one for my phone and one for my wife's phone.
I think it should be much better than these batteries from China...
Well, at least this seems to be made in Germany.

Are you using an AOSP based ROM or TW based? That's quite impressive is AOSP. I have 3 batteries and have my cellular signal off with brightness often at the lowest and get 4.5h maximum (batteries not too old).
Your android system usage is a lot lower than mine, what were you using it for?
Can you please weigh it compared to the standard battery?

estimate date to delivery?
A few minutes ago I purchased it too, delivery is scheduled between the 23rd and the 26th of this month: D
I'm charging the battery! How many hours must be under load?
After 42 days, finally my batteries has come! (It´s sadly live in Brazil because of dollar conversion and time to receive Ebay things)
I put it on my phone and tried to use the 58% of charge that is inside.
I played 3 games and really feel that the battery discharge much more slower than my older one.
After 2h18m of screen time, it has 28% left!
I used 2h18m games/internet/youtube and it only discharge 30% (it´s a record on my phone)
Buuuuuuuuuuuut, it´s only the first impression...
Today I will fully charge the phone and do some tests...
I come back soon with my impressions.
Best regards

May not be necessary, some videos are reporting superb battery life. Easily one day with mid to heavy usage, and some reported it lasted 2 days w/light usage.
I hope so, this phone looks like a beast!

You're probably right,most mfgs have stepped up their game to ensure that we can get at least one "typical" days of use out of our phones before the need to recharge arises.
However,it's nice to simply swap out batteries when getting home from work/etc..... & doing the same when the next (work) day starts anew.
I prefer this vs leaving a phone on a charger,keeping that charging-generated heat away from the phone entirely.
i hope it comes with it, i loved my V10, but it ate batteries. Having a spare was practically a necessity
can I use my v10 battery charger to charge the V20 battery?

Personally, I wouldn't advise that.
V20 is available on Verizon today,I was hoping there would be a battery give away

I can't imagine they'd be the same physical size since v10 is 3000 and v20 is 3200.
(hmmm I automatically assumed you meant the spare battery charger case that came with the v10 extra batteries. If you mean wall charger then... Hmmm dunno lol)

Thanks for the link KOLIOSIS!
yes I was referring to the spare battery case. I'd rather not buy a new one, if my OLD one, worked okay.
The batteries are different widths, but I could just take the door off.
just being cheap...guess I'll buy the NEW set.
I picked one of these up today, battery life wasn't lasting all day like I hoped but its a feature packed phone with a big a$$ screen and I can't put it down. Hate to have to tether it to a wall for charging plus the couple days of sitting in an airport coming up will make this back up battery well worth it.
I got 9 hours with 4.5 hours of talk time, and 4 hours of screen on time. I am happy with that result. I can see on the days I don't have a lot of phone/conference calls I can see the phone going 16+ hours and possibly 6 hours of SOT.
I will more than likely be buying on of these just for my busy days as a backup.
I'm curios why ebay is the only place to get these batteries.

i believe since the phone wasn't supposed to be released until the 28th here in the U.S., we won't see official lgusa accessories until sometime around then.

ebay is not the only place, many other places are available.
$59.75 after shipping? No thanks. Wait till lg comes out with it and hope for some deals. So I can buy like a 6 pack. Getting phones with swappable batteries these days is rare. And having a few extra if you plan on keeping more than 1-2 years or selling after a year or two really helps resale value so next person has a couple fresh batteries for their "new" toy. Might buy some more gnote4 batteries while I can. I have 3 new ones left and I just popped this one in about 3 months ago.
Can't wait until these are more readily available and at a much more reasonable price. Will be so nice to go back to the time when I could just pop a new battery in and not have to worry about charging my phone for days at a time.

Even if it lasted all day with heavy usage, I'd still use the user changeable battery pretty often. I swap when I am in the field, on loooong bike rides, on vacation, or after I leave work and just don't want to sit waiting for the thing to charge. I'm so happy LG kept this feature.
I'm really happy people are reporting good battery life though.
Batts are back on Amazon. 59.99 is a bit steep in my opinion, I don't need one that bad yet!!
