Extended 3500mah ebay batteries?

Has anyone bought any of the 3500mah extended batteries off ebay? $30-40 seems really cheap for that. I know they're from china but can anyone tell me about how much more battery life ill actually get with one? Thanks
And if anyone has a picture of how much bigger it makes ur evo thatd be great...

Get the ones from china; you can get them for like $1, and 10$ for shipping...
and the 3500Mah battery gives you 2.33x more battery over stock.

Well ya I know its technicly 2.33x more but are the batteries actually that big? Do u have one? Thanks

Yea, you can easily go a day on that battery. With some under/over clocking you can get 2 day+.

I got 3 days on a 1750 battery from BB that is the same size as the stock battery.
all depends on what you setup to do what.
also, the extended batteries do make your phone huge. At least to me it seems huge. Then again. I am from the iphone, and every iphone, specially the iphone 4, makes the evo look fat as it is.

you bought the 1750mah platinum series by seido at best buy? that one is lithium polymer, thats how they can get the 1750mah rating in the stock form factor. how is the battery? build quality, temperature while in use, heavy use, charging?

the temp is in the same ranges as my stock battery, if not slightly cooler to be honest. My phone would feel hot say while charging with the stock battery, my phone stays cool when charging with the seido battery.
as for build quality, it seems just fine, except the cover around the battery is a little loose, cannot say for sure if it is this battery as a whole or just mine, but it doesn't seem to cause any problems other than my OCD kicks in when I have to pull the battery out haha.

I got my eBay China 3500 mah battery 2 week ago and I love it. Problem is it took 2 months to get here since it came straight from China. But, hey it only cost $7 so I cant complain. My phone can finally last a full day under heavy use. Heavy as in constant YouTube and web browsing. Plus wifi, 4G and gps stays on all day. I plan to order another 7 dollar battery for backup.

I ordered a two pack, 2 batteries and two backs w/ external charger. There are two evo's in the house that use them and both work wonderful. I use mine all day under heavy use, mainly bluetooth music streming to my vehicle. I can go a day and half maybe, but I charge every night. My wife can use hers for three days with light use, facebook and crap. I spent $18 including shipping and the phone feels much better in hand, I prefer the extra heft. Here are a few pictures next to an american quarter for size (too lazy to grab other phone and swap batteries).
Hope this helps. It is very cheap, you should just do it, if you don't like it sell 'em on craigslist.

Just picked up a Platinum Series - Extended Life Lithium-Polymer Battery for HTC EVO

I just got this from bestbuy waiting to get a full charge in it before i actually test it. But it does make the phone alot thicker but it might be something i will have to get used to, another thing is my outer box case doesn't fit over it (i kinda figured that before I opened the packaging ) But i will let you know how good it really is.
Well i kinda forgot about this topic. So now im gonna finish typing it.
I have had this for about a month or two and it has been great. it can last me anywhere from a full day nonstop usage to 2-3 days light to moderate usage. It has been great and does what is says so im a happy camper.

It's a good battery. I have one and it lasts me about 3 days before I need to recharge. They are Seidio rebranded batteries, and I also like how they're Lithium Polymer instead of the cheap Li-Ion ones on ebay.

They are great. I am going on 40 hours without a charge and I still have about 40% left. This is with moderate/heavy use.

They are awesome I got mine off ebay for 20 bucks and would definitely do it again!

ok no flaming just a simple question, ive read that you shouldnt run the battery dead till it shuts off the phone... anybody know what is better to do?.. my battery didnt come with instructions, but from what ive read is charge phone and run till dead, recharge and repeat 6 times, someone please confirm

From personal experience (and LOTS of work with laptops), both Lithium Ion and Lithium Poly like the "goldilocks" zone. Draining them to ZERO will instantly kill a LI battery. But ALL LI and LY batteries AND devices have special circuitry to prevent this, but repeatedly draining them to what your device classifies as zero will shorten its life dramatically.
My brother does this and he needs a new battery every six months.
However, leaving it plugged in can be just as bad. When a LI is fully charged it actually generates pressure in the battery. Again, there is circuitry to help prevent this, but constant over charging (or close to) can cause the cell to "pop".
In general, when you first get a LI or LP battery, should should charge it for about 12 hours UNINTERRUPTED the first time (think of it like stretching before a workout). Other than that, charge it when it's low, and take it off when it is done.
Leaving it plugged in from time to time so that it is ready isn't too bad, just don't leave it on all the time, or you again, COULD pop the cell.
Most manufactures recommend a complete drain and 12 hour re-charge every 6 months (again, just like stretching out).
Happy surfing!

there is definitely a big difference and makes the phone weigh more but you forget it is there after a while (like with i first got the evo i thought it was HUGE and would be a struggle to carry it around).

Affordable Extended Battery

Does anyone know of a good, reliable extended battery that won't charge up the ass like the Mugen one does? (I'm sorry, but my Fascinate got a whole day on a $20 extended, $100 is unacceptable)

I got one from an Amazon seller for $12. I think it's 3,700 mah and I easily get a day out of it. However, it's stupid to use something that large and that adds weight and bulk to such a thin and light device. Especially when it's just as inexpensive and easy to simply buy 2 or 3 stock-sized batteries and a wall charger on eBay. I carry 1 or 2 spare batteries in my back pocket and don't even notice they're there. Why wouldn't you do this?

im currently testing this one.
on my 2nd cycle right now with 26% left im at:
21hs up time, 3hrs screen time about 1hr Pandora. been on 4G/3G the whole time with all my radios on but GPS.
it seems like im getting about 30% more life out of this batt vs the OEM. which seems to be getting me over a full day of use with out needing a charge.

MUGEN is a great brand, i know because i own their battery for my G2 and S2, you get what you paid for man. on test i found that the MUGEN outlast the SEIDO by 30-40 min screen on time under hard benching...now this data is of course base on S2 battery.
right now i am testing Hyperion, look for my post, i will give more update soon as i am on my 3rd full charge right now, will bench by the end of the week. I am in talking with MUGEN and Anker to give me a free sample to do a review on their battery,

id agree that "namebrand" batteries tend to yield better results.
in fact i would have personally preferred a Samsung Extended battery. but i cant see spending $100 one a 4000mAh battery from Mugen when a replacement 63Wh batt from Samsung for my M11x is $125.

Just throwing out counterpoints: It can be a hassle to have to shut down, take the phone out of a case (if you have one), swap batteries and put it back together, etc. With an extended, you don't miss a beat. Also, since the phone is thin and light, having a big, heavy battery isn't so bad -- makes it feel about the same as a lot of older phones.
That said, I'm using a stock battery, but have been considering a nice extended battery eventually.

I just don't see how any one can justify carrying extra batteries on a +600$ phone?
I mean the battery life is great already, not shabby by any means. I got 1d 11h with 3 hour screen on time on my Verizon phone this weekend on stock battery. But no call or hotspot like I do during my work day. But a ~2500mAh would probably last me the whole day even on a work day. I'd pay $45 for that with nice cover. (slightly thicker won't be such a bad thing on this phone)
I have few more days before I can return this phone to verizon for full purchase price of 600 bucks. But it's making me think twice about returning it because it's still 2x better than my rooted galaxy nexus.

Carrying extra batteries, at least for me, is zero hassle. They slip into my back left pants pocket and I never even notice they're there. Granted, I can see swapping batteries being somewhat of a hassle for some people but, even if you had an extra step in removing a protective case, how long could it really take? 1 or MAYBE 2 minutes? This phone shuts down quickly and boots up just as fast.

[Q] Buying new extended battery

I'm thinking of buying a bigger battery for my GNex for better battery life.
I found a normal sized one of 2450MAh (http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-2450mah-li-ion-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-golden-215299)
and one that is 3800MAh (http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-38...e-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-prime-i9250-127595) but heavier, and bigger is size such that it needs a different cover (that comes with it).
What are you guy's thoughts on it? Forget the price, is the extra weight and bulkier phone worth the 3800MAh? Or should I go for 2450MAh? Perhaps I should just stick to the stock battery that came with it? Please give your opinions and reason why.
Cheers

I think you should stick with stock. If you play around a bit you van get a full day out of the battery. That's pretty decent for a smartphone. With the stock battery your phone stays slim and light. If you do want a extended battery I should go with the 2450 mah. Than you have a good balance between battery life and weight. 3800 mah seems too over the top to me.

I'm not content with my 1750 mAh battery, so I ordered a 3800 mAh extended battery. It will probably degrade after half a year if not earlier. But heck it was only €13 and thats like nothing for 6 months. The looks are horrible (from what I've seen on the internet), but I'll get used to it.

Can harm, or will harm (confirmed)? And how is it that it can harm the phone? By delivering more than the mentioned voltage?
Oh, thanks. I just started looking into these batteries; didn't realize there is an official extended battery.
Oh, and I don't care about NFC, I never use it anyway. Heck, I don't even know how to use it haha.

I guess €13 is cheap spread over 6 months, but there that's not all there is to it right? The 3800 needs a different cover, so no more casing will fit on the phone isn't it? There is the hassle of having to order a battery from overseas every 6 months, and not to forget, the phone will become bulkier, heavier and uglier :/
If the 3800 battery degrades that fast (is this confirmed?), does the 2450 too?

I can only last a day with stock battery with light use (GSM version). Otherwise I also have to charge it 2/3 times a day with heavy use. That's why I'm looking into these batteries.

A noob question. Does "extended battery" always mean you need a different back cover because of it's increased thickness? I know it's the case for the 3800, but also for the 2450???

well the 3800 is thicker than 2450 so it will need a bigger case

I once got 6hrs of screen-on time with a Seidio 3800MaH battery. I kid you not.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

6 hours screen-on from 3800? With what connectivity settings turned on?
I kind of found the answers to my own questions. 2450 needs a new cover too, because it is slightly thicker than the stock battery. Every battery that has a different thickness need a special cover for it.
With different size covers, you need different casing too. While I found nice casings for 3700-3900 type covers, and quite nice casings for 2000-2500 type covers, I've seen almost nothing but complains about the batteries themselves. Not deliveries the promised MAh (from the start) or performance degrading very fast are very common complains. Some even talk of overheating, and ofcourse many don't support NFC (which I don't use).
I can't trust the battery will do what it says it will do anymore :/ I'll stick with the stock OEM battery. I'm now considering buying a power bank/portable battery charger. In a way it also gives me longer battery life - when I want/need it. Plus side is also that others can make use of it too.
Oh, and just for the hell of it. Check out this monster extended battery people: http://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon-Ext...=1-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+nexus+zero+lemon It's the only extended battery I've found so far that I consider buying. Very good (and many) reviews too. *EDIT* It's only for the LTE Nexus, not GSM... */EDIT* But it's price is a little high for me...

It was quite impressive actually.
I had the used the phone particularly heavily that day, and suffice to say, I was quite.. Well, impressed.

Appearantly not all Nexus batteries are the same? I'm using the GSM Nexus. Tell me if I understand this correctly, but CDMA Nexus is from Verizon, and LTE Nexus is from Sprint, and both are not GSM devices, meaning their battery (LxW dimensions) are not the same? How about these Nexus from T-mobile? Are they GSM?

Meh for me the bulky back of the phone doesn't matter. It's not like you're looking at it all the time.

I don't care much about the look either, but the weight, size, and especially difficulty in finding a good case for it, I do care about.
And external battery (power bank) is cheaper for the amount of MAh you get, gets to much higher amount of MAh (10000MAh is quite common), can charge any devices (that need 1A or 2A input to charge) and mutiple devices simultaneously (unless you got a real cheap one). So for me I'm sticking with the power bank. A cheap one like this one can already completely charge your nexus from 0: http://dx.com/p/swpkpower-a22620-rechargeable-2600mah-mobile-power-bank-w-aroma-white-228492

Best slim extended battery for LG G Pro E980?

Does anyone have any real experience with the slim extended battery for OGP ? So far, I searched and found a 3850 mAh made by AcerSoft, and some 4000mAh for F240 model. Do they have real capacity as claimed and use interchangeably ? TIA

With my experience with slim extended ....has not been any better on any device I've owned. You gotta think if a 3rd party company claims they can make higher capacity slim batteries then why wouldn't the manufacturer of our device just go ahead and make one same size ? ...IMO grab a zerolemon or just stick with OEM battery. Once again only my opinion.

Agreed. I had a slim "extended" battery for my old Atrix 4G and it ended up giving me LESS battery life.

I'd usually get around 3.5hours of screen on over 18 hours of use on the stock ROM. With MIUI, I'd get around 6 hours of screen on over about 27 hours.

It depends on how you run the device. I can get over 8 hours of on screen time. however, that's at 0% brightness — inside isn't that bright this time of year
Standby mode with everything off should show very little decrease in battery, if you see a lot of drain at that point then something is eating on the battery. Most ROMs and stock do very similar when in full use (the screen eats most) from what I've seen however, standby can be very dramatic.

Thank you. Normal use (wifi, 3g, browsing, facebook, whatdapp), no gaming or music.
So far so good, i think. At least better than Lg optimus g. I am getting 5h 30min of screen.

I agree with Neroga and Shayne. I also got an "extended" battery for my old Note 1 and it sucked. I got less battery life off that than I did on my stock battery. They are not worth it. If you really need/want that much battery life then just buy two batteries and have one charged while using the other.

The zero lemon battery works great. Makes the phone bulky and heavy but you will adjust and it will soon be comfortable.

+1 to this but no bigger than having a big, protective case. Got my 9300mAh ZL battery with a modified Abacus flip case and couldn't be happier. Can't beat going 3 days with 12+ hours of screen on time.

How'd you get MIUI on your E980? I've looked seemingly everywhere and couldn't find it. I only found the F240L version. I want to improve from the somewhat bloaty stock to something faster with better battery life.

It's over in the general section starting with WS0008 Developer Edition or something like that. The thread is old but the ROM is maintained.
The performance is comparable to stock, maybe slightly better, but the battery life is awesome. ColorOS will give you the same thing with some extra features, but autocorrect on any keyboard will cause whatever app you're typing on to crash.

My zero lemon battery worked great for 7 months until it spontaneously combusted in my phone in my pocket. I must have dropped the phone the day before, and a short caused it to smolder through the battery cover and melted the plastic in the internal body of my phone. Unfortunately, this battery only comes with an 180 day warranty (6 months), and it burned up at 7 months, but I will see if they can refund it. After having a spontaneous combustion incident, I am not sure I want to have another one in my phone.
It also weighs almost 6 ounces ( a half pound is 8 ounces.) I thought it must be a lead acid battery when I first received it because the battery was 3-4 times heavier than my phone with the original battery in it. It lasts 2 days of heavy use and a week if I don't use 4g or the wifi. I think 4500 mAh would be a perfect amount of capacity for one day, so 9300 mAh is overkill.

It lasts 2 days of heavy use and a week if I don't use 4g or the wifi. I think 4500 mAh would be a perfect amount of capacity for one day, so 9300 mAh is overkill.

Can you still use your phone or did the battery ruin it?

I can still use the phone, but it's really easy to drop something that weighs a half a pound and is bigger than your hand. Other people will probably drop their phones and have the same problem. The good news is that the TPU case is very protective of the phone, and the battery broke instead of the phone when I dropped it. The bad news is that I only have a 6 month warranty and it broke at 7 months so I'm out of luck.
