So I found this 1750mAh Anker battery for the T989 and I'm wondering:
The standard OEM battery is 1850mAh.
This Anker battery is 1750mAh.
Anker is known to make higher capacity batteries that don't require a separate back cover. (I've had an HTC Sensation and an Anker battery was like heaven on it)
So is this Anker battery really 1750mAh? It would seem kind of pointless since the OEM battery is 1850mAh ... Has anyone ever bought this before? There are no reviews
Yeah, I saw that as well. I don't think it's worth getting since it's a bit worse in mah compared to the stock...
I knew that the Ankers were reasonably better than stock EVO 3D batteries, but this does not seem to be the case here.

I'm wondering if anyone got it. Its not even so expensive. I suppose Anker made it 1750mAh but did some tweaks to make it last longer than stock, if that's possible at all. Just a guess.
Any other batteries anyone would recommend? I only prefer one that barely adds much thickness with a new cover.

Our phone's battery is interchangeable with the infuse 4g and i think the epic toucg 4g, and i believe they just use the rate for those and say it's ours

There's a 95% chance I will be ordering this soon, so I'll keep this updated when I receive it. I have good hopes for it because of my previous experiences with Anker batteries. They work wonders.
keep us posted of your impression
Just ordered the battery
I'll post my results.
Edit:
My results with the 2050mah battery are noticeably better than stock. I would go as far as to say that I'm getting 2 or more extra hours out of each charge. For $10 on Amazon, you are definitely getting your money's worth.
I was going to insert some screenshots and the Amazon link, but apparently I have to post 8 times to the forums before I can post links..... so, you'll have to take my word for it and do your own Amazon search for the Anker 2050.
planning on ordering one myself. please let us know guys! thanks!
I ordered one yesterday. It should arrive sometime this week. I will post results when i get it.

Found this extended battery on ebay, was wondering if anyone on here has tried it, i know it looks hideous, but if you know your making a trip somewhere it could come in handy if it works the way its supposed to. Its cheap as hell too.

9 bucks... can't be too great,
but what can you lose? lol
Seems to me that if the larger aftermarket brands have trouble meeting the stated mAh rating on their batteries, what more of unbranded ones that goes for an even lower value?
I also still have very clear memory on exploding phones from third party batteries years ago
I bought a cheapo 3800mah and it lasts barely longer than my stock extended battery. I wish samsung made an official 3800mah version

Buy 2 stock batteries and solder them together. Works great.
3500 real mah. I didn't think the 2000 extended batteries would fit under the cover from the Hyperion I had here. I agree though, if I can solder it up in an evening, Samsung certainly could work up something.
hopefully more phones in the future will be like the razr and give us a factory extended battery closer to 3000mah.
Razr maxx when I had it for a week was sick! Hard use all day, charged every other day, seriously insane battery life. If that phone ever gets bootloader unlocked, I would be all over it again.

Have you done this solder thing? Any tips?
if you look at the battery in the phone you can see that there is some space at the top of each terminal, use this space to solder a fine piece of copper wire to a second battery. make sure to solder the batteries in parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative, to retain the same voltage.
i remember taking apart a so called 3500mah battery from ebay and they were just two cheap 1500mah batteries tapped together. Apparently in china 1500X2 is 3500.
Why does everyone want extended batteries? 99% of people have access to a power cord most of the day and just don't need it. Granted, I'm new to the phone, but I really hope I don't need to carry around a huge battery or two. Personally I'd rather charge it more often. Just my own opinion.

Even If it's 1500 that's still 3000mah for less than $10. Pretty good deal.

As long as you know that I don't see a problem. Spend $10, use it for 6 months, buy another one. Much better than spending $100 for a mugen.

Those battery are also made in China. You just pay more for their brand.
And those two brand don't even have their own factory.
I just got my 4000 mah battery with NFC for 10USD. It also works well.
And of course, they're made in China.
Hyperion review
Just got this that arrived yesterday morning:
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Exte...APABILITIES/dp/B007C8XRJY/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_1
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, after reading reviews, because the cover that came with my snapped right on, with no problem whatsoever. I started fitting it at the bottom and worked my way around snapping the clips in and wala - perfect fit.
I also bought this cover:
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Exte...ompatible/dp/B0083HHU5A/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_2
It's black/honeycombed and fits perfectly over the new back, giving the whole phone a factory made look. The only "negative" to it, is the volume buttons and the on/off buttons are now alot more sensitive - the cover goes over them and it doesn't take much now to depress one of the buttons - I'm actually liking it more, as I get used to it, but I imagine you could carve the rubber off at the buttons with a knife if it bothered anyone.
Anyway, after reading the little card that comes with it and the "charge it for 12 hours, kill it 4 or 5 times cycling" - I plugged it in and after about 2 hrs, it was saying fully charged. I needed to use my phone, so I turned it on - made a couple phone calls with it and decided just to use it. I read cycling doesn't matter with a Li battery anyway, and I was just excited to see if this thing was for real.
It's 10:43 the next morning - my battery has 19% left on it and it has been on the battery for 18hrs, 8mins when I unplugged it yesterday!!! I am a heavy user too - all throughout yesterday, played a few games, many visits to facebook, web surfing texting, 10 or so short phone calls - then again this morning, surfing the web for a good 1.5-2hrs gathering news.
All I can say, is this is unheard of - I've NEVER been able to do this on the stock battery. I'm going to run this all the way down today, so I'll post back when it actually shuts down, but it's for real folks - order it! I'm thinking about ordering another one for backup - I'll only have to charge once a week!

In this case, quality matters. I've already researched the differences. You won't be getting as good battery life as the one's from Seidio or Mugen. Please do the research before saying such things, as you're misleading others.
It's already been confirmed that the cheap Ebay batteries are of low quality.
Just because it's Made in China, doesn't reflect the quality of the build. Seriously? Everything is made in China...
Look through the posts on this forum about the ebay batteries. Almost everyone says they found barely a difference with extended battery.

Your statement doesn't stand. You're insinuating that the cheap-o Ebay batteries are just as good as the Branded Seidio / Mugen batteries, when that is clearly not the case.
Shifting the goal posts aren't ya. Seriously, stop spreading misinformation. I gave you at least 3 sources from various forum members that concurred the battery life discrepancy is vastly different between the generic and branded ones. (Mugen/Seidio)
Did you provide a source showing that the generic ones off of eBay have as good or better quality than the branded ones? Looks like no.
I have sources to back my claim up, you have, well, none.
example of a bad battery (trexcell)
http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Samsung-Compliant-Extended-Compatible/dp/B007EZ2PU2
and FYI, Seidio uses battery cells made from Japan.
I have both the seidio and the hyperion NFC batteries and they both work well for me. Can't complain about either of them. 5 hours plus screen on time usually. Yeah yeah, mod this kernel and underclock/volt that kernal and "I can get that on stock"...well I can't. I like the bigger battery as well.

Went 24.5 hrs before it gave up and shut down - recharged to 100% in about 2 hrs and I'm at 14 hrs running with 66% left - I'm loving this! And as mentioned, I'm preferring the bigger battery/weight feel in my hand, then before. Maybe Samsung should make their phones with bigger batteries and heavier!..lol.

So, is there any NFC-battery somewhere around 2-3k mAh? I'd love to get some more hours in between every recharge (i can barely get home from work before the phone wants to die), but the ~3,8k batteries just makes the phone too bulky for my taste..

I have the Hyperion 3580mah battery and love it, NFC works, and I get about two days of battery life with a single charge
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
In the beginning it gave me around 2-2.5 days worth of battery per charge which was fantastic. The extended battery weighed about 3x the stock battery for outputting almost 2x. I liked the fact that it lifted the phone up so it wouldn't damage the camera lense (since the lense does stick out past the back cover). It was the same plastic as the rest of the phone so it made the phone look stock.
But after about 5 months, the battery capacity greatly decreased to the point where I was getting about 7 hours until I received the 20% battery warning. This battery was preforming worst than the stock battery.
So in the end I went back to the stock battery. What was everyone else's experience with these extended batteries?
Thanks. I was just shopping for an extended battery this morning. My stock battery is still doing okay after 14 months, but I wanted something to counter the effect ICS has had. I saw Seido's on sale at Newegg and was about to pull the trigger, I'll hold off until I hear more.

Would you mind indicating exactly which 3800mAh battery you are reviewing?
Cell phone batteries and memory cards both suffer from a large amount of poor-product masquerading as quality. Reviews of this type of product are not actually helpful unless they identify the specific product, brand, and even seller.
I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if I purchased an extended battery for $10 and it started to go bad after 5-6 months. As comparison, my stock battery went bad after about 13 months. While paying more doesn't guarantee that you'll get something great, it is generally true in my experience that you get what you pay for.

Yeah, after three trexcells, two that need to be thrown out because of bulging, I just got a qcell 4100. I know the number means nothing. It said to do 6 full charge and discharge cycles in the beginning, and let the first one charge for nine hours. I'm on my second charge so far. Don't know if it's true but I read somewhere to charge with the phone off. The first charge ran reaaaly long before dying. Don't know if it was bad batteries or bad external chargers, but both my Samsung externals would only charge the trexcells to 95%, even if it was a 12+ hour charge.
Here I am about 4-5 months in on my 3800 batteries. 1 trexcell and 2 generic. Far as comparing to stock? Stock batteries make me sick now. They drain so much faster. The big ones amaze me how long they last. I do rotate the stockers in so they dont sit and go bad. So ill have a few days of extended then stock then extended ect. The performace of extended is so good I now see the big lump as sexy! I did find a great use for my stockers. (have 4) I was in my best friends wedding the other day and with no case and slim battery the phone slid in tux pocket easy lol. +1 but half way through reception I had to drunken walk way out to car and get spare -1. Right now as I set im about to hit 2 days on Trexcell on the newest Jellyverse sitting at 37% +20.
I'm at work and I got a customer that just asked me about extended batteries. I told her they're usually fat batteries that come with special battery doors.. but usually at least give 25-50% more battery life. Then she asked if there were any slim extended batteries. I didn't know how to answer her and all my gsearches came up with 3000MaH plus big boys. All I found was he Mugen Power 2000MaH slim battery. You guys know of any other options out there?

I am currently using an Anker battery that I bought off Amazon. It has slightly extended battery life at 2200 mAh. It is the same size as the OEM battery so no custom back case or chunkyness sticking out the back. Anker sells the single batteries or they sell a double pack with an external battery charger on Amazon, quite useful. I believe their products are on sale right now.

Anker 2200 mAh works perfect for me. I've been using 2 I ordered from Amazon for about 4 months. I get about 10 hours heavy usage time. I get well over a day on when I take it easy. Juice defender is an excellent addition to any cell as well. I would advise you to be careful when taking the battery out of the charger so you don't break the plastic that separates the cells. It can cause problems charging through the cell phone. Either way it's a great buy and I highly recommend.

Anyone know how reliable some of these aftermarket batteries are? I've been reading that some don't have NFC support and overcharge protection. Both huge no-nos in my book. Especially the latter.

You can charge them either way. Personally I use the external and the phone. I was just saying be a bit careful when you take your battery off the external charger. I have one battery that I can only charge through the external since I broke the small plastic separator... not a big deal though. It still works properly.

No NFC support in most (if not all) aftermarket batteries

Yes, most aftermarket batteries (like the one WangLung linked to), if not all, don't have NFC support as the chip is located in the battery. The same goes for the ATT i777, but not the international i9100.
You can tell on many of these by the 4 contacts- one is for the NFC. This is why a i9100 battery (with only 3 contact heads) will work with a i777 phone (that has 4 contact prongs) - the connector for the NFC would just be touching plastic.
Don't know about the overcharging protection though.
I have the Anker 2200 MAh slim extended battery in my phone and it works great! I usually get an extra hour of on-screen time than I would with the stock battery.

Anker battery is awesome
I purchased an Anker 2200 mAh slim batter 2 weeks ago, and I have been nothing but impressed! This battery rocks, I get 2 full days with average/light use (phone calls, 3 hours screen time).
Well worth the investment for 2 battery's + charger for around $25!

Has anyone tried this one?

Thinking of getting it but I am also debating the anker one. Does the anker battery have problems with over charging? because I usually keep my phone on the charger all night

The one for $20 includes two batteries and a charger, while the $12 one only a single battery. For what you get with the $20 one, it never hurts to have more than one battery, especially if you're away from the charger for a whole day and you're using your phone often.
I do not own the Anker extended battery myself, as I am doing fine with the stock battery and I like having NFC ready if needed. But it does seem like a great battery, especially for the price.
