[Q] Seidio Innocell 1600mAh Slim Extended Life Battery

What do ya think guys? Snake oil or not? I'm tempted since, if the rating it true, it is a significant increase for us vs the small increase to the epic 4g guys. My question is how much more can you squeeze out of a defined space of Lithium Ion batts? Or is this just Seidio just re-rating a battery higher than it truly is?

No No No... Stay away from there Batteries.
I had this one and returned it. They lie on there Batt Ratings.

Its as good as the OEM and more expensive. Do the math

I have it and get 20 hours per charge. Moderate use. Off of 4g most the time (WiFi). I am very satisfied. Plus now I have a backup.

While I have my doubts about their ratings accuracy and I'm not as good at math as I was when fresh out of uni, I do believe 1600 is greater than 1400.

yeah i dont know from past history of their batteries but my 1600 was def worth it

Does the battery meter calibrate this right? I have the 2750 extended and the battery meter always sticks at like 60% for a few hours -_-

i have the seido battery, i have no feelings about it, i have my stock battery right now, will try the seido battery one more time tomorrow.

I'd pass. They're rated higher than their actual capacity. There is no worldwide battery calibration police so companies can basically rate their batteries at whatever they want. Do a quick google search and there was a test someone did where they discharged various batteries and OEM did best.

The whole point of that statement is that the battery doesn't perform like a 1600mAh. The number is fake (that poster's opinion, not mine; I've never used Seidio's).

I've used Seidio batterys in the past and been pleased. I just do not think that a 1600 mAh battery is enough for the bolt.

whats the biggest battery we can stick in a tbolt with the stock battery cover? 1750?

I had stock size seidio on other android device and to be honest... it is not worth to pay almsot twice the price for maybe 10% longer lasting battery. Unless you can live with thicker extended battery, 1400mah stock is the way to go.

I had the 1750 for my Droid Inc and was more than satisfied. It lasted longer than the stock 1300. I know many people who had it and did not have this type of luck. I believe that Seidio batteries are luck of the draw.
They ratings that manufactures and vendors put on their batteries can come from a couple of different place. They can put the maximum expected output, average expected, etc. I've seen a lot of testing done and Seidio along with other companies seem to prefer the maximum expected. This doesn't mean you'll get that rating, just that it could possibly provide that much in certain circumstances.
I had the DX and purchased their extended battery and it truly was phenomenal. Reports had the mAh rating on that thing bouncing around because it was different depending on whether you looked in VZW's system or talked to Moto.
End of the day, the worst you will get is a spare battery. Since this battery would only jump from 1400 to 1600 I'm not sure I would bite. The 1300 to 1750 was definitely a sizable jump. The battery was actually larger, but in reality I found it performed as well as the official HTC 1500 found in the EVO and Sprint Hero.

I've used Seidio batteries in my past Blackberrys, my Dinc, and DX with good results. Ordered two of these for my Tbolt and was disappointed. Tossed them in a drawer and picked up two more OEM 1400s as spares (I travel a lot).
Dunno if it is the Tbolt or...?

I sent mine back, I did not see a difference at all

I've never owned a Seido battery, so I can't make a judgement from personal experience. However, I've read mixed reviews from others and I figure that if it was possible to cram a greater capacity battery into the tbolt without requiring a larger cover, htc would have done so. A 1600 mAh battery won't last significantly longer than the original, so you are proly better off buying another OEM or cheap one from eBay

Extended Batteries... Mugen vs Original Samsung

I am looking to keep my white GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus naked as the bulk is just too much, and I need as much comfort in my hand as possible...
That being said: does anyone want to chime in on how the Mugen extended battery is performing compared to stock and/or the original Samsung /w battery door?
I have the original samsung extended battery, but no white door to put on...
Thanks guys.

One thing to note if you are buying a replacement battery... the NFC antenna is built into the battery. If this is a feature you use, make sure your new battery has it.

I am waiting for my 4000mah mugen battery including nfc. But would also love the pogo car dock.. Too bad in does not fit anymore with the New battery..

Both will give you about 80% of the capacity they put on the label. Everyone else will give you much less than that, 70% tops, and often half or less.

I think these cheapo $10 3800 extended batteries on ebay are pretty good if you come in with the right expectations.
Yes, we know they aren't 3800, and are closer to 3000, but that still gets you about 1000mah more than the stock battery.
Yes, they lose their capacity over time more quickly than a genuine battery, but you should treat these types of batteries as disposable.
Buy one for $10, use it for 6 months and then buy another one.

The only thing that keeps me away from buying them is that batteries, in a general way, are pretty dangerous for the environment, specially cheap ones. And I wouldn't like to make that kind of waste buying several batteries.

using Seidio Innocell 3500mAh extended batter for my GNexus (GSM) for a month right now

it adds a little thickness but not that much, actually you won't notice any difference while holding it and using it with one hand
the only downside is the back cover, I don't know what its called in English , but the tips thats go in the phone body can easily be broken
( look at the image i circled the thing as an example - the photo not mine )

what do you think about this?

Could I trouble someone to measure the thickness of the Seidio 3500 for GSM? Looking to get one, but want to see if I can do a little modding to fit it in a case without using that unsightly back door. From the comparison pic above, it seems to be a hair over double the thickness of stock battery. Correct?

Stock vs Anker 2200 vs Hyperion 4200 vs anker 4400 vs seido 3500

alrighty guys, i spent the whole day testing these batteries, if you find my post helpful please click the thanks button
first off this is a test to see how the battery does under max load, max setting and max capability condition. so before you say "O i can last 4 hours screen on time with my stock" well you dint test it like i did, my testing are as follow
-Brightness were on 100% the whole time
-stability test were run at 1.78ghz clock
-tune in radio were running and streaming 192kbp music
-navigation were on
-wifi were turned on but not use
-bluetooth were on but not use
-phone were put in the same spot throughout the test (signal vary from place to place so in order to eliminate that i put it at the exact same spot)
-all batteries have been condition as per factory instruction.

Anker battery
-result were very good, the anker does last longer than stock. Thanks laptopmate.us for providing me the battery to test, however i will not be using this since the Hyperion is more suited for my need
effective Mah: 2200-2300
____________________________________________________________________________
Hyperion Battery
this thing is a beast, it could easily get another hour more than the stock (notice i stopped at 5%)
-effective Mah: ROUGHLY 2900-3000

if anyone would like me to conduct testing on their battery please contact me via PM thanks.

seems like most of these 3rd party batts comes with a crappy charger that doesnt charge the batt to 100%.

i noticed that the anker is 4.35v
what does that mean for the battery? just takes longer to charge?

Too fat ? I guess u never live in the era where Nokia uses brick for a phone ?
I think the sgs3 is too thin...it's easily slip out of my hand because it's just too damn light but to each his own. I love having battery for a full day without worrying or do anything to prolong battery life

if you have battery with 4.2v and anker with 4.35v than its mean anker have bigger capacity than 4.2v
you must charge anker battery with proper 4.35v charger or use your phone to charge..if not then the charging process will be not maximum.
stock battery also have 4.35v
http://learn.adafruit.com/li-ion-and-lipoly-batteries/proper-charging
you must use a proper lithium ion/polymer*battery charger. The good news is that nearly all batteries you will encounter are going to be 4.2V. And you can use a 4.2V charger for both lithium ion and lithium ion polymer. If you ever encounter a 4.35V battery, you can always use a 4.2V charger: it'll charge it up to 4.2V which is perfectly safe.

Hyperion make quality battery too if you dont mind the bulkiness, the problem is we all get stick to "brand names" but in actuallity I bet all these battery are made from the same place...take a look at MUGEN they are base out of Hong kong too. Look at your OEM they are made in china too.
point is, buy a generic brand, do what the factory setting tells ya and you should have good battery life.

Def keep us updated! I just saw on their site that the extended battery is coming soon, can't wait! I bought one of their ext batteries for my original HTC Inc and that thing was a beast! It did add some hefty bulk to the phone but I didn't mind. Curious to see what the design will be for the S3. Hopefully nothing outrageous while keeping the beauty of the phone intact.

Mugen 2300mAh battery-is it worth it?

I'm thinking of getting the Mugen 2300 milliamp/hour battery, but for 44 dollars, is it worth it? I game a lot, download a bunch of apps or update them, facebook, browse Google Play, etc. Will I have any issues with my Speck Candyshell case? I'm thinking of this one because its size is the same as the OEM battery and I don't wanna have to get a new battery door.

been using the iphone past month just switched back to the s3 today. Well last night.
Battery fits oem door. On my first charge so i cant comment on battery life.
Theres a 7 percent discount code that u can get on the website, i forgot where. I bought it when it was on sale for 38.
Shipping takes about a week and a half. They ship from china!

for the price, i would say no
its better to get the oem samsung battery.
its cheaper i think
slighly smaller capacity
but at least its made by samsung and can be more trusted
just my $0.02

Bad resource. I'm using Mugen Power for 2 years already and cannot imagine an Android phone without their battery.
The 2300mAh is more of a replacement battery, because it only adds 200mAh, but if you really need power, I'd go for their 4600mAh battery.

Looks interesting. It doesn't seem like its false information but maybe they decided on making better quality for the S3 batteries. I'll be receiving the 4600mAH Mugen battery soon and I'll have bench mark comparisons against the Hyperion, Anker, QCell, and Seidio. Hopefully it turns out ok for the price Mugen's charging us.

For the price it's just better to get one of the extended batteries /w door off Amazon. They're cheap and juice filled.
I'm using the OEM, because I don't want a huge-mungo thickness out of my thin phone and the battery services me well enough.

I wouldn't spend that much. I bought two Qcell batteries and a charger on Amazon for $25. They advertise 2300mah. Not sure if it's truly 2300 but it last just as long if not a tiny bit longer than my stock battery. They also have NFC built in. Individually the Qcell batteries are $10, so you could have 3 spare batteries and a charger for less than the price of one mugen battery.
I've been using the Qcells for about 2 months now. I havnt had any issues with them and NFC works great.

Thank you for the reply... seems as though Andida has very mixed reviews... the stock GS3 battery is 2100mAh, so if this andida fits the S3 and the Vibrant, then in theory the stock Samsung S3 battery should fit the Vibrant and I'd rather have a Samsung battery than after market. thank you

The Epic 4G Touch stock battery fits in the Vibrant, slightly larger capacity.

I have an 1800 banker replacement battery very good battery I would definitely recommend it. 20 dollars for two and a charger

Yeah I took the battery out of a SGS3 and no way it will fit in the Vibrant... But since I just came across some extra money, I think I'll decide between the Note 2 or the Nexus 4 and keep the Vibrant as a backup.

Ive used an Anker Epic Touch 4G 1800mah in both a T959 and a i9003 and it is great.. big improvement over stock

I bought the anker 1800mAh, ebay had it a bit cheaper than amazon, 11 bucks shipped.
It's been working great compared to my original battery which is now crap. I can get close to 8-10 hours of actual constant use compared to my older battery giving me 2~4 hours.

Absolutely spectacular battery. It's a bit snug, but it DOES fit inside the original battery cover. No overheating issues, either. Terrific battery life.

I also use this battery currently and have been really happy with it. I bought mine from ebay, I went and looked through my history and there don't seem to be any for sale anymore that I can find though...

I have been using Anker. Highly recommended.

Same. With the charger, my phone will never go dead since I have 3 batteries now!

Using anker 1800 mah battery as well. It is working well for me. One fill day battery life with normal use.

Hi, I decided to buy this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extended-Ba...842809?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab8502ff9 . Does anyone tried it?

Nope, but I'm really interested in the results. Please share your experience as soon as you receive it.

1850mah Kingk battery on ebay.
First charge cycle. Not bad at all, innit?

There are a lot of gaps in your network signal, why? also what is your screen? what apps do you have? for how long do you use them? thanks.

The phone is usually in airplane mode while I'm sleeping at night, mostly because the table where it stays is near my head.
I don't get the question about the screen. It's the standard super AMOLED Vibrant screen. I'm using the ambient light sensor (50% indoor and 50% outside).
I mostly send SMS texts, use the stock browser (with Flash plugin enabled), Tapatalk, Flightradar 24 pro, Sportstracker PRO, Player Pro 2.7 (AAC 256kbps), and a few phone calls/3D gaming. Looking at the graph, the phone doesn't sleep often.
With this scenario, I could barely make 18 hours with the stock 2 years old battery and 24 hours with a 1 year old fake 1800mah Samsung battery.
Here are the 1st to 4th initial charge cycles.
