Has anyone ever tried Mugen extended 1600mAh battery on our phones? I'm thinking of getting on and I want to know if its worth it.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-1600mah-extended-battery-for-samsung-galaxys-i9000.html
Why get a 1600mah when theres a 1650mah by T-Mobile?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Because no one can find the friggin 1650s. Even the post dedicated to them doesn't have more than a dead ebay link for them.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
why get the 1650 when u can get 2800 on amaZON for under 20.00 us?
Well anything higher than 1600mah will cause the phone to get really fat.
I posted link above.
fat battery
I got one of those fat batteries from amazon and it doesn't seem to last that much longer than a standard battery. It also makes the phone look pregnant.
I am using a 3.7VDC 3500mAh Li-ion Battery for my vibrant and it lasts me for 2 days and a half without charge, Of course the battery is a little bulkier then the normal 1500mAh, & it comes with a back Case, its worth the cost and its for only $16 Bucks on ebay. Its worth the money Sweet

I got mine yesterday, but did yours feel like it didn't work at first? Cause I feel like it doesn't work, but I heard its gonna work after a week.

Well actually the battery was working fine when I received it. What you want to do is once you have the battey, deplete it till it fully drains out of power. Then recharge it with the charger they supplied you, don't charge it throu the phone. Once you see its fully charged. Chharge it for at least 1 hour more and u will get the full capacity of the battery. If your vibrant has a good kernel u will be set for 2 days straight. Hope that helps. Am using overstocked kernel

Oh okay, but the one I got only came with a battery and the back case for it, I don't know what you mean by "...charger they supplied you." Do you mean the Vibrant charger?

...he said dont charge it through the phone, which is the only way you can use the vibrant charger so that rules that one out, so by process of elimination and a lil bit of thinking the only option left is his came with a charger for the battery, probably a small dock type deal.
Just gotta think a little not too much to ask
i apologize for the late reply, I should of been more specific with the charger i was talking about. It is a USB/AC Wall charger for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Sprint Epic 4G, AT&T Captivate i897,T-Mobile Vibrant T959. You can view it on ebay, Amazon etc.
Well, because my cappy has such a horrible battery life, im considering buying a second battery and a battery wall charger... My question is, how fast is it supposed to charge if it was a normal charger? Im looking to buy these 2

Thanks
If you don't mind.your phone being a little thicker you should look into a extended battery I have one and its great go all day and still have over 40% at the end of the night.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
I have the same set as is in the second link. I'll say this, the batteries are as good as the stock one, and great for the price. Also, having the wall charger for battery is very useful. So, that would be the one I recommend!
Also, I had terrible TERRIBLE battery life in the past. I mean, 3 or 4 hours and it was dead. The best thing I have found that helps this, is custom roms. I don't know if you are using one, but you might consider looking into those options if not.
The wall charger for the battery seems to charge the battery a bit faster than just plugging the phone in. It takes 3-4 hours to charge from dead.
i do have a custom rom But the battery life only lasts like 7 hours or so. I was thnking about the extended battery, but it makes the phone thicker, which i have to say id rather avoid. One of the greatest features of the captivate to me is how thin it is .
But yeah, as you said, the battery and charger are good enough Il be purchasing those tomorrow. If anyone has any other ideas, please shoot
edit : how thicker does it get? Is it still thinner than a blackberry storm 2?
I don't know how thick a storm is but it adds a quarter inch to the battery witch sounds like alot but I don’t really notice it when its in my pocket . I also think it makes it alot easier to hold in my opinion plus it only cost 13 dollars at cellularfactory.com witch was cheaper than all the oem batteries I found. I just couldn't carry around two batteries then you have to switch them when one goes dead and you have to charge them both but that's just me.

Isnt this in the accessories subforum? Or was it moved. If it was moved, then sorry :S i shouldve known.
get the wall charger and extra battery. it way better than adding bulk to the captivate. looks absolutely retarded adding an inch to this slim phone.
If your repair center is close just go in and ask for a new battery free of charger. Sometimes they have them in stock sometimes they have to order them and send them to you in 2 days. All depends on the luck of the draw really. I have four batteries from doing it this way.

Ahh, the OEM dock + external charger.
Wanted to get one of those.
Had the same setup as OP's the wall charger that is.
I can say, the non-OEM wall charger doesn't charge that fast.
a few posts down is a mod for the NON oem charger to make the USB charge faster. unfortuanatly you cant make the battery part charge any faster. but it WILL charge faster than you can run out a battery so its good.
for buying OEM batteries, i have been told to avoid the G7 series Samsung batteries. Find the G9 series. i bought one for $18 on ebay from an american seller in new york.

Can't find any G9's over here. Went over to a Samsung retailer.
Got myself 2 instead G7's. Last's kinda shorter than that of the G9.
What's the difference between g7 and g9? Im guessing better battery life. Where do you see what the series is on the battery?

It's at the lower right side of the battery. Near the S/N.
Kinda tiny on the G9.
HUGE on the G7.
My phone came with the G9 battery and seems decent, can't really compare it to anything as it's the only battery I have for now.
After googling the G7 vs G9, it appears that they're region codes. G7 being for Europe and G9 for the US.
yeah, im just going to buy the charger dock and battery off ebay. (the amazon one)
Thanks for all your help guys
Whats up guys i got more of an opinion question. Right now you can get a oem battery for 20 bucks on the Verizon site, but on ebay i can get 3 battery and an external charger for 25 bucks. Now yes the ebay battery's wont run as good as the oem, BUT im getting 3. What do u guys think?

I got the 3 and external charger for 12 bucks off eBay. They don't last as long as the OEM, but 3 last a lot longer than one. Then I got the seidio 1600mah and it actually lasts me a full day. Guess I got one of the good ones.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I got the 3...If they don't last as long, I really haven't noticed.
I charge on my 2-hour commute, so I usually don't have any problems. I keep a battery at work, 1 in my backpack, & 1 at home. Options are nice.
I also got the 3 extra batteries for around 12 bucks. I haven't noticed any significant time differences between them and the OEM. Not to mention its kinda nice to have the external charger if i need it to charge an extra battery.

I'd do that just for the external charger. I bought an "OEM" HTC battery on Ebay for dirt cheap. It barely lasts 6 hours where my stock OEM battery will get 25+. Figures... you get what you pay for. I'll never buy used again to save a few bucks cuz you end up throwing that money away (usually).
My experience with non OEM batteries has been disappointing. I bought the 2 battery + wall charger from Ebay.. and no matter how long I charged it.. it never went above 75%. Also one of the batteries would drain to 0% and result in the phone powering off.. almost 5 minutes after I took it off from the charger (which said it was fully charged).
It was perhaps defective.. but that is something you might get when you buy so cheap.
I got the two "1700 mAh" batteries from htc express with the external battery charger and they definitely last a lot longer than the stock battery.. they were 30 bucks altogether which is more than the ebay deals but well spent imo
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
i would recommend staying away from the ebay batteries. i bought a bunch (5) for my incredible and they never lasted as good as oem. now that i have the thunderbolt im looking for a good deal on an oem battery.
Been using eBay batteries since my Samsung Omnia. They may only last 85% of the OEM battery, but I always have a charger (in car, office, and home) so very rarely do I need to run off battery for more than 6 hours anyway. 3 eBay batteries + the OEM battery last me a good 3 days with minimal use. If I turn on airplane mode though they'd last about 4 days, so I'm happy with them.
To each their own though.
ill sell you my OEM HTC battery for $10 plus shipping. i still have the original box and everything. i'm gonna be taking a chance on one of those 3500mAh batteries on ebay so i won't be needing this one anyone. PM me if you're interested
EDIT: cost me $40 at the time -_______-
Well i kinda just want one battery. Im not into the whole swapping batteries all the time thing. Im thinking about trying a mugen power battery
i just bought a 3500mAh extended battery on ebay for $9.99 with free shipping. ill let you know how it is...... when it arrives been july 5th and july 15th -_______-

I got (2) OEM batteries for 11 dollars each from ebay... and they work beautifully. It is exactly the same as the stock battery.
I bought three my touch 4g 1500 mah batteries for 12 bucks off ebay and they work just as well as the 1400 OEM battery. Dont see a noticeable difference good or bad. Plus the standalone charger is awesome.

THAT particular ones were what I would advise to stay away from. For me they never charged beyond 75%... unless I left them in the wall charger for many days.
.. and One of them would cause the phone to continually poweroff with sudden charge drops to 0%

I've been using them for the last two months without problems. I usually can't even tell when the battery that came with the phone is in the rotation.
As the title says: anybody tried qcell batteries before? I found them earlier on Amazon.

They appear to have good reviews and the price is right. They also have nfc antennas in the batteries, not that I see myself using nfc for anything.
Definitely interested with this too. I ordered these today.

From all the reviews I've read, they're supposed to be same as OEM at half the price.
The reviews from amazon seem a bit fishy, all raving 5 star reviews and all the reviewers are brand new accounts with just one review. I'll have them by tomorrow and will post my results.
Any special app or way I should test them with? Or just a few full charge cycles to see?

I am almost 100% certain that those reviews are fraudulent. Look at their other batteries. The ones with only 5-7 reviews are pretty much the same. 5 stars, only review... it's really not hard to game Amazon like this. Verified purchase doesn't mean much either when you can give money to your friends/family/employees/strangers to buy them and give them 5 stars.
Then the rest are 1 star reviews from people who bought them and realized they are crap.

I ordered two and they work fine. NFC works as well and tested from my phone to my wife's S3. When I ordered they didn't have the two battery and separate charger available so was only able to get the batteries at $8.99 each shipped. Definitely stay away from Anker and Hyperion since it is confirmed they do not support NFC. The 2300mah QCell's are as good if not better than the Samsung original in terms of battery life.
Just received my Qcell batteries and charger a few minutes ago. Have the first battery charging now, will update when I have used them a time or two. It is not hard for me to believe the batteries would have similar characteristics to the OEM, it isn't rocket science... but time will tell.
---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------
OK, the Qcell battery is charged, I put it in my S3, and it fits like normal, powers up as normal, I can confirm NFC works the same as the OEM battery for me. I will comment on battery life, when I have used it a bit. Is there a good battery diagnostic app that mught be useful?
I have had the qcell batteries and charger for about a week now and I am definitely happy. After charging it fully and completely discharging it three times, I would have to say that it lasts noticiably longer than the standard 2100ml battery. Plus they are dirt cheal

Mine charges to 100% but it takes a loooong time. About 8 hours or so, starting from 15%. It seems to slow down for the last 10% too. This should be better for the battery, than a fast charger. The charger LED is purple while charging, and will turn blue when finished.
Try leaving it on the charger and see what happens. I thought the same as you guys the first day, but finally figured it out after some testing, using a volt meter, and then finally just leaving it on the charger for what felt like forever.
Only had the batteries a few days but battery life seems comparable to OEM.
Be careful with the chargers. I had a similar one with my evo 3d. After about a few months of use the charger contacts shorted and the charger basically fried up. Basically not a good idea to put a battery in it while it's plugged into the wall

I always use the supplied wall charger that comes with these so Idk, lots of the extended battery reviews on here are the same voltage & they seem to be doing pretty good.
It's not the charger which matters but the phone itself which charges the battery, it's aiming for 4.3V as that's what it thinks it should have as the stock battery is designed for that. Although I haven't heard a single case of these 4.2V batteries having problems with being charged with 4.3V, that last part can be changed in the kernel and the charger chip driver. I'm getting some knock-off cheap battery myself so I'll see how it goes. This particular one seems quite steep in price @ $30, with proven ones like the PolarCell 2400mAh going out for half the cost.
you won't see the affect right away from overcharging. I use to play with a lot of batteries from RC, overcharging something we use to do get slight edge and boost at start. but it does have long term damage to batteries, specially lithium based. some cheaper batteries even catch fire.
Alright guys, got the batteries in the mail today, charging one & will report back later

Li-ion batteries have an overcharge protection circuit built into the battery pack itself and should prevent this from happening. If everything is working as intended, it should be impossible for the phone to overcharge a battery. That's not to say the protection circuit couldn't fail itself.
And I too played with RC batteries and you really can't compare those batteries with these. Different types of battery with different methods of charging.

I couldn't wait for more info on this battery, so I picked up two on amazon.com for a little bit less.

Based off of Amazon, these batteries are the same size as the stock battery.
From Amazon's Description: "Standard Size Do not need to change bulky back cover, increase battery life"

Any updates regarding your experience with these batteries? I used to own this brand for my HTC Sensation and was very pleased with it. Almost had about 400+ recharge cycles before the battery started to wear out. Looking forward on your feedback!

damn- not deliverable to my area thru Amazon
Am tempted by the 3000Mah battery by E-Cell....

Purchased a 2100mah previously to replace the 1450mah that was in my Sony Xperia Play.... Definately added a few more hours of play to it..... Hmmmm....
