The highest capacity battery(2000 mAh) for Elf that I had ever known

Also the YOOBAO workshop ,The Chinese manufacturer.They claim this battery will last 90% longer than the original. Oh and the battery is also 90% bigger than the original so they supply the customised back battery cover.

I'd rather buy another phone with higher cap battery I bought elf for it's size. If they manage to fit a high cap battery in the same case that would be more attractive to me

I have such a contraption for my universal. I wouldnt buy one for my touch, unless is has a the same form factor as the original.

Well if it is 90% larger then I expect it to last 90% longer or so.
I think extended batteries are the ugliest add-on to a phone.

Lol... i´ve seen a back-up battery (1100 mAh) from this manufacturer (got the same label) on ebay a couple of days before. Selling price was 1,99 Euro (!!!) without shipping.
And now tell me, what quality you can expect for a price like this? Maybe you should order a fire extinguisher too .

How close is this picture?

The new CDMA Touch will have a more powerful battery to handle the 400 mhz and 3G (1150 mAh vs 1100 mAh). If they are the same size then I will buy one of those batteries and stick it in my current Touch.

Yep. Seems to be the better idea, if 50 mAh makes the difference.

Rather buy a spare than have that hump on the back. So far I've been pleasantly surprised with the life I've been getting out of the Touch.

Or you can try this:
http://www.proporta.fr/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=2725&t_mode=des
Really cool, and you can charge your device and other like iPhone, etc. it's bigger than a spare battery, but also lasts longer, you can take this and your phone and it'll hold a week maybe

Damn, I wish I could use photoshop.
This thread is crying out for a good picture of a touch with a car battery coming out the back.

you guys are wonderful, I am going nuts here,
*biggest_loool_ever*

well, i give then kudos for trying at least but that sharp step on the back of my touch to accommodate the bigger battery is not exactly what i would want .
If i am working long periods on my touch i just plug it into the mains and use it while its charging for now until at better battery (with same size) come out on the market, its just a matter of time.

coming soon 3500mAh extended battery

so today i was searching for a extended battery and came across this.

It's definitely a 3500mah battery. Just an typo I'd assume.

The back is thicker than the phone.. no thanks I will just continue to carry a spare battery.

These kind of batteries suck. If you need a decent backup just get an external battery. You can get an 8900mAh external that will last you more then you need. I always use mine when going on hiking or longer trips.. Generally where you would have a backpack of some smaller stuff. You do not need something like this for a days worth of common use.

I had one of those for my hero, get a big boost in life,. I went a three days without charge

What the hell is the point? I am getting nearly 20 hours of life out of my stock battery with two days of business use, and wifi. That looks awful as well.

You must not really use your phone like I do. Started at 8 today and its now 11 and im down to half battery even with overclock widget clocking it to 200Mhz when the screen is off
I bought one of these when the g1 came out and it gave me about 2 days off the charger. But im not sure how well this is gonna work with this phone. I really want to know how it worked with people who bought the smaller battery

If you dropped down that much you need to check your syncs and what using data. Is your phone set to cdma? I'm at 87% with 5 hours off the charger. Might as well solve whatever is eating up your battery first.

I take my phone off the charger around 6 every mourning and I don't lose the first bar till 1030 or so.that's with lots of text, internet, and some phone calls. Not a complaint here

I remember everyone was talking all this hype about the extended Seidio battery for the Mogul... I bought one... and was completely unsatisfied, I sent it back in, the mfg, acted surprised and sent me another one.. .Honestly even the replacement was exactly the same.. The Stock OEM battery lasted longer, and was more reliable.
Unless something has changed with Seidio since then, (which I highly doubt) I won't be "upgrading" my battery -
- I'm with the other member, I'de be more inclined to get some kinda external battery, or something. Too bad the USB connection changed on this new EVO 4g.. cuz my IOGEAR AA battery emergency charger is SICK! hmm.,.. actually i'm going to look for a USB converter, so that I can keep this iogear around.

Woah! I've been waiting to finally see the design on this as I've owned Seidio extended batteries in the past on other devices. The design on that back is a definite no go for me. It's horrific! I just can't F'up a rather well designed device with that hunchback. No way!

will people start complaining when they want 3 days of batter life? And do you guys not go home at night or day or evening (depending on when you work) to charge your phones? my phone with heavy use last about 8to9 hours.. and light to no use 20hrs.. i charge it every night..

i have the same battery used for the hero from seidio, so i hope they give the option to purchase just the back battery door. If not, i will have to wait for nakedcellphone from ebay to get his Mugen extended battery line (which have very decent door designs) and he sells em separate.
No need to drop 60 again, right?

had one for my htc diamond.. ive been checking the site everyday for that.. the back is bulky because of the battery size but like whoever stated.. you can go nearly three days without a charge depending on use.. i love those batteries

Wow. I guess it works for some. Personally I keep a micro usb cable at my desk at work. That + car charger and I'm never far from a source to charge my phone

Andida Battery 2000mAh killed my phone .. I had to take my phone to SSC

Andida Battery it kills my beloved SGS2. Guys Please be careful and do not buy this battery
I was happy today when, I received Andida Battery. I took out my back cover and I installed the battery. I tried to turn on my phone but it did not start. So I taught that the battery must be empty, so I plugged my charger to charge the battery. But it failed to charge. I installed original Samsung battery back, but the phone did not start at all. I was so facking annoyed. I went to Samsung Service Center, I told them my phone suddenly stopped working, without mentioning the cause of damage. They checked the phone, it took them two hours, then the technician called me and he said that the battery sensor indicator chip is damaged in the main-board and need to be replaced. He said they will order the part from Korea and it will take around 2 weeks to arrival at least. I was happy that they will fix my phone under warranty.
Edited :- Real photo of the Andida Battery 2000mAh uploaded. I was so upset and not in mood to take a photo of Andida Battery I own. I google it fast and attached it on my post that why in the photo it stated 1450 mA and For Oppo a100.

OH Man. Seem like this battery does coz hardware damage in most SGS2 when installed. I think battery sensor indicator chip is actually the chip which indicate battery status level. thats why your battery stats get screwed up.

Why do you say is an 2000mA battery when on the blister clearly states that's a 1450 mA one (even less than the original). ?

I don't get it. I only see "For Oppo a100" from the pic. Is there state anywhere its for I9100?
And the Chinese in one of the label stated the battery is insured, maybe U can claim them some money.

I really hope it doesn't spoil my phone though... I rooted it so chances are there's no warranty if I bring to the CSC. I don't really use the Andida battery often anyway. It simply serves as a backup.

Thanks for clearing that up, and i am very sorry about your phone.

Hi,
I had the same issue with mine but i hotswapped that batteries around. i.e. andida to samsung back to andida and it started to work again.
at the moment i have the andida one in my phone but try swapping it around and see if there is any issues.
Q) would your phone still be covered if my phone was rooted with custom rom?
PS: and i bought two of these one for me and one for my nephew.

hi there the spider-foot battery is safe. been using it as my main battery and no problems or whatsoever since 3 weeks ago

Have been using this battery for awhile. No major issue with it. Just that while stating 2000mAH, it's not really performing better than the stock battery. Worse performing actually.
Avg after a day's use ( light usage ), the Andida's remained only abt 50%-60% juice, while the stock can still retain abt 80%.
Another quirk for Andida, after charging to 100%, when I pulled out from the charger, it'll occasionally drop to 97% immediately.
Well, can't expect it to be better since it's so cheap anyway. At least it didn't blew up on me lolz. Nevertheless, had been using the stock battery since it performed better. This Andida is just a backup for me now.
Btw, TS, just curious, did u pull out the thin film that covers the metallic contact points? I read that some pple forgot to remove this film, and they thought the battery is a lemon =p.

the only one i can rely on is the original samsung extended battery (2000mAh). It's a little bit fatter (1mm more) but great!

Post some results.
Is the 2300 a Galaxy S II battery? That's what I'm seeing in some goog searches. Looks like their replacement for ours is 1850. But if it fits, hey.

Lucky you, i had to stick a piece of paper on the top left of my battery pocket in my phone in order for the contacts to align.

There's actually a thread about this battery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445938
So far I'm getting a little over 24 hours with little-moderate use on ICS passion.

In the wide majority of test I've seen of Andida batteries, they always add somewhere between 30-50% of their actual capacity. In short, just about every third party manufacturer overrates their batteries and only the OEM numbers are accurate

I have the same with the Andida 2300 battery and my Vibrant. I cut some of the envelope it came in, doubled it over and put it along the side of my battery. A snug fit, for sure... but its working great. Worth the $20 imho.

Apparently some people can't get the contacts to line up correctly and the battery doesn't work out for them.. so it might be a gamble for you.
1800/1500 = 20% increase
2300/1500 = 53% increase
I'm pleased with the batteries performance and understanding of the issues related to fitment. For $20...it was well worth it to me. My phone can stay away from the charger throughout the day.

I understand on paper it should be a 53% increase compared to the stock battery, but is it showing a 50% in reality? I know samsung batteries are legit and should be close to the labeled mah rating. I don't know a thing about andida. I just don't to end up with a battery that might not even fit and is only really putting out like 1900mah.

This is a huge improvement for me. My phone used to be dead after 10 hours unplugged.
Another oddity since putting in this battery, my GPS started to work and lock on again... maybe the pressure it puts onto the phone helped the contact...weird positive side effect for me (I've not bothered to do the GPS contact fixes yet)
Sorry I don't have the fancy Battery stats screens that others seem to have :\

My 2300 andida is running about 14 hours as well. I can get through most of the day without thinking about my charger.

I'm on ics one comsics rc3.1 and I get more than 36 hours on light use, more than 24 hours on moderate use and like eight hours on real heavy use. My heavy usage usually involved full account sync and surfing the web on the mobile network non stop with screen on 75-90% of the time.

Even of the contacts don't fit, you can put paper on the top left corner of the battery socket. And somehow, the battery doesnt need the paper later on. I think the battery gets "used" to the battery socket...

This Gadget Is a Handheld "Power Plant"

UPDATE: THE CORES ARE NOT RECHARGEABLE. THAT'S A LET DOWN FOR ME. HOWEVER, I DO SEE THE MARKET FOR THIS.
When we say "two weeks to a month" of power, we're referring to the ability to charge your phone (tested on an iPhone 5) once a day for two weeks. But for people who charge their phone around 20% battery life (instead of when the phone is completely dead), like many people, the charge would last about a month. That's where those numbers come from.

But, it is way cheaper to recharge using a normal battery pack. I see a reason this technology exists, but, its calling is not recharging batteries.

I'm not sure it is for me and you on a daily use basis where we can plug in etc...but if you are a long distance traveler and in areas where there ain't no plugs, 10 of these in a bag would last you a while in remote areas. Pretty much anyone that goes to, reports on or whatever for long periods of time, I can see how this would be a god send.

So it's a fuel cell basically. Probably enclosed. Fuel cells run off hydrogen typically gained from splitting water molecules. More advanced fuel cells can gain a higher efficiency rate when mixed with other chemicals.
I'd be interested to see if you could crack one of these babies open and just refill it with water. I know they already have water-based chargers. Using pure water would probably reduce the efficiency and longevity, but its water... refilling is still easy.
Most companies that are doing these "fuel cells" are really just trying to find a way to nickle and dime the customers. Companies don't want to introduce "free energy" by just filling up a bottle with water. They want to split the modules and sell you just the hydrogen/fuel mixtures.
Would be nice to just buy a fuel cell that lasts a few years. That would be worth it. But the cost of this device + refills <> electric? Are they trying to make a "cheaper" solution to plugging in to the wall every night (cause they should be) or are they marketing it as a "convenience" device with a high price tag (seems like it).

It looks like whether or not this is even going to get released is in question.

I have the battery pack accessory, so I can keep it charged up for times when I need a charge at night, or it's just too rainy. I've been thinking of upgrading to a slightly larger panel. Anyway, my point is that portable solar panes are great, and they don't cost anything but the initial investment.

I have a 12,000mAh power supply with 3 USB ports that I use quite often, I got it for $35-$40.

I looked into this a bit more and found out that the fuel pods contain butane. They are asking $10 a pod (pre-orders get a free one).

Too expensive for me, but would be great alternative to solar power for long camping trips.

nice one!
