Yet Another Mugen 4500mAh Review

Mugen 4500mAH Battery with Extended Back Cover
TL;DR VERSION
Pros:
Really effing works
Good build quality with good materials (except for kickstand plastic)
Thoughtful kickstand on included battery cover
Well-known and respected manufacturer
Cons:
Expensive
Heavy and bulky
No matter how well-designed, it still makes the Note look ridiculous
Bottom Line:
It's a good buy. You own a Note, so you're likely not one to be too particular about fancy looks, unlike all the iPhone fans who jeered the phone/tablet/phonelet/tablone just after seeing the one Superbowl ad. It may be pricey, but you get what you pay for; I've read horror stories about cheap Chinese batteries that would make you think twice about trying them out.
LONG VERSION
This will probably be my first and only useful post on XDA for a while, as I'm not yet very well versed in rooting or installing ROMs or any of the fancy programmer stuff the forum is well associated with. I'm more of a hardware and accessories guy, which is why things like batteries, cases and car mounts all interest me more than having the most bleeding-edge firmware updates.
That said, this isn't going to be a professional review in the style of Engadget or Anandtech, with their fancy charts and pinpoint accurate usage statistics. First of all I don't have the means to do this, let alone the time. Secondly, that stuff isn't important to me; I'm just a guy who wants more battery life out of his Galaxy Note, nevermind the to-the-second timestamps of usage statistics with varying settings and applications applied. (Also I just really don't have the time!)
On to the (laymen's) review.
Phone specs
I'm not sure if this really matters all that much when reviewing battery life, but for those nitpick-y enough to care, here it is (basically, it's all stock):
Samsong Galaxy Note GTN-7000
Brightness Setting: Auto
WiFi: Always On
3G: Always On
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: N7000DXKL2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1-CL886914 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DXLA1
Functionality
I'm a heavy user. I also use my phone a lot. Sometimes it's not even to play a game or open an app, or even to see if anything new is in the notifications bar. I just really want to see the screen on, because man oh man is the display on this phone the stuff of wet dreams!
On the stock battery I get about 14 hours of life. It's not bad, but there's a caveat; when it starts getting low, I stop using my phone except for the most crucial of SMS/calling needs. I don't turn off WiFi/3G/background apps, no. I just stop using the Note. This is why I almost NEVER unplug the phone. In fact, for more hours of the day my Note is plugged in to one charger or another: on the daily commute, it's in my car mount; at work, I borrowed the office's Blackberry Playbook wall charger (nobody uses it anyway (oh snap)); at home, it's either on the included AC USB adapter or plugged into my laptop for charging all night long. The only time it's usually unplugged is when I'm walking, out shopping/watching movies at the mall, or at a friend's place; basically, whenever I'm not in the car, at work, or at home.
On the Mugen battery, for purposes of this review, I managed just shy of 22.5 hours (the screenshots below end after 21h56m38s, but it kept going until around 9:30am). I made it a point to not plug in to any source of power during the usage period (duh). I went all out, not holding back any punches, with WiFi and 3G always on, Trillian and Google+ running constantly in the background, and racing to finish "A Storm of Swords" on the Kindle app. This is my usual usage, and I decided to throw in some 30-odd minutes of gaming, about two hours of video, and even some Google Hangout time.
I fell asleep at midnight that night and woke up at 6:00am, allowing about 6.5 hours of off-screen standby time.
Now, let it be clear that no matter what apps or services you have running in the background, the real battery killer on this phone (and I'd imagine any smartphone) is the display. I always keep the brightness setting on Auto because a big part of the experience satisfaction for me is looking at my phone, and I really don't want to have to feel like I have cataracts when I glance at the screen. On the Battery Usage screen, Display always hovers around the 50% mark for me. It only ever gets passed by Android OS when I really don't want to look at my phone, usually during times of extreme hunger or loneliness.
Given that, I'd say 16 hours with an almost constantly-on screen and 6.5 hours standby is not bad at all. And for 22.5 hours of my life, I was completely unburdened by the necessity of a source of charging. Free at last!
Aesthetics & Ergonomics
Free to look like a total bozo. It's bad enough that, for non-headset users, we have to hold a 5.3" slab of plastic and aluminum to our faces when making a call. The feeling is amplified by it suddenly becoming twice as thick as it usually is.
But we're not iPhonerds so we don't care, right?
Well, we care a little bit. You'll notice your phone doesn't lay flat on the table anymore. It looks like it floats because of the tapered design of the back cover, but that's less cool than it sounds because you know it's only floating due to its large butt. Yes, the extended case comes with a kickstand, but when you're actually using it is the only time you'll be thankful for its largeness. Worst of all, if you've already purchased accessories and car mounts for your Note, you'll find that all of a sudden none of them are compatible with your expensive phone.
On the plus side, the extra thickness does make it seem like it's easier to hold. The scale design on the back cover is not only classy but adds extra grip to it as well, and the tabs seem to snap into the grooves even more securely than the stock backplate.
Bottom Line
It's a good buy. You own a Samsung Galaxy Note, so you're likely not one to be too particular about fancy looks, unlike all the iPhone fans who jeered the phone/tablet/phonelet/tablone just after seeing the one Superbowl ad. It may be pricey, but you get what you pay for; I've read horror stories about cheap Chinese batteries that would make you think twice about trying them out.

hey bro shall we compare mugen 4500mah vs hyperion 5000mah battery??
if yes please tell me what settings ur using
like display brightness
LWP
edge/2g/3g
etc

Nice review! Still considering the hyperion battery though since I'm trying to save some money but will definitely look into getting the Mugen for long term

Nice work. Coming from the official HTC HD2 extended battery I'm not afraid of adding extra bulk to the note. However, seeing that Mugen created cases for other phone + battery combos I'm waiting for them to do that for the Note before I pull the trigger.

Hey thanks for the feedback, guys! I'm glad it helped you in some small way.
In just received word from a Mugen representative that they're going to release an upgraded version of this battery: 5400mAh! He didn't say anything on pricing but I'm assuming it's still the same at 99USD. We'll be setting the official announcement tomorrow.

Sure, sankeerths! My usual settings are:
Brightness: auto (but for accuracy of comparison, I'll set it to 100%)
Stock ROM, kernel, everything
3g always on
Wifi always on
the following apps are almost always on:
Onanvo
Trillian
Google+
I don't use juicedefender or other battery-saving apps.

Which is the new thickness of the note with the mugen battery?

I don't have a good caliper to measure this. I have a crappy one that measures the stock thickness of the phone as 11mm (that's a lot more than the 9.65mm you can research online). With the Mugen case, it measures a hefty 21mm.
Please note that my caliper is not precise or accurate, but it's all I have at the moment and it still gives the fair approximate observation that the battery case will just about double the phone's thickness.

I actually contacted mugen if a trade in is possible. Damn I bought the 4500mah at ard USD 109, and now with higher capacity and lessser price? I feel real bad about it. haha

Hey guys, i have just read that MUGEN is upgrading the 4500mAh [HLI-N7000XL] battery to 5400mAh starting yesterday according to mugen facebook, will be able for ordering from 20th of april or something. They are claiming it to be the same size same shell only with even bigger capacity.(i guess the price will remain the same also, no idea)
Meanwhile the review of 4500mAh version in PICTURES, for those who is interested about the size:

I've ordered one from ebay.....awaiting receipt and can then add pics.

on a different note, is it just me or is it a malfunctioning battery as my mugen 4500 mAH is not goving me anything like what the reveiws say, wondering if i shoudl contact them about it.
and i feel ripped off too as i recieved my battery last week and now they have this new one out with a 1000mHA extra !

Third party 4000mah batt with white cover(6/15 update real figures)

I got my GN 4000mah battery few days ago. Which is really thick,about
twice size of the 2000mah one.
And I can choose black or white back cover as I need,which all comes
with Samsung logo sticker(who will use that?)
Here's some rough result I got so far.
7:00am 100%
4:00pm 75%
10:00pm 60%
And I keep using 3G or wifi all day long. And play some games like iGun Zombie,
I think it can last for two days for sure.
The only disadvantage is ugly.....
6/15 update real statistics-----------------------------
All data are recorded by batt pro with real daily use,
1:00am~7:00am are flight mode when I sleep
Other hrs 3G or Wifi is turned on(out door 3G, in door Wifi)
Receive and dial daily phone calls, Line and QQ are used daily
6/14 00:49:12am 98% 4193mV
6/14 05:49:12am 96% 4126mV
6/14 10:48:12am 86% 4031mV
6/14 15:49:12am 79% 3966mV
6/14 20:49:12am 71% 3906mV
6/15 05:49:12am 65% 3900mV
6/15 10:49:12am 64% 3888mV
6/15 15:49:12am 37% 3773mV(Play iGun Zombie for near 2hrs, and several video phone calls)
now 6/15 20:10 -> 29%
Wont be a problem to last until 5:00am

Kinda... naaah.... VERY ugly. But cool whatever floats your boat.

From Taobao. Around 20RMB each.

Hi Ya whats the make and model?

I think what's cool here is the fact that you are able to do this with your phone to begin with. Having the choice is the important part, regardless of how ugly it might look. For some people battery capacity is crucial, and if you happen to use the phone as a part of your work and charging every 8 hours isn't an option, then looks probably does not matter as much.

If it makes you feel better, the only reason the Razr Maxx gets awesome battery life is because it packs a 3300mah battery. The phone is literally 75% battery.
This is the price we pay for awesome performance.

Yet its stupidly thin still... and matches the nexus for specs... lol

Yes!
And there's gonna be 4000 even 5000mah battery for S III,I guess.
In my personal experience. The 2000mah original battery is quite enough
for my daily use from 7:00am to 11:00pm. But if I watch more movie
,play more games even use my GN as a 3G hotspot. Then I will bring the
4000mah battery with me.

where did u get the 4000 battery??

New Battery for Moto G XT1032

Hi folks,
I have been using Moto G for more than a year and lately i noticed battery is discharging more quickly than before. I am not %100 percent sure of it but it just feels like it. Anyway maybe it is not that essential to change the battery now but i am sure that day will come. I found some batteries on ebay but i want to buy genuine moto g battery.
I couldn't find any info about how to check of genuineness of a moto g battery but maybe somehow you know.
Does any of you change their battery before and how does the battery you bought performed ?
This is the link of how to change battery https://youtu.be/bv5C0axnGIw It looks pretty easy
And here you can find some batteries for moto g on ebay http://ebay.to/1rfB2q5
It would be cool if you can post more links of places that we can buy moto g batteries..
Cheers,

Since it's not user-removable,it's best to go to a service centre to get it replaced.
Most likely it'll be genuine and they'll know the proper way to do this.
Good luck.

It is really easy to remove the battery so it is user-removable. Everything is user removable i am sorry but i hate to depend on others and i don't want to pay extra service fees for easy tasks like that.

Thanks for the links.

I too feel like that battery is degraded a little after 1.5 years of usage and thinking about replacing it. If anyone finds original moto g battery with international shipping let me know. I'll make a video while changing it.

maybe the battery is not an issue but apps like Google Services which drain the battery more and more with every update despite promises.

it's so simply you can use by your self
just buy the best quality same the generic version

Ur comment plz
Anyone here? who can share knowledge About our beloved MOTO G's battery? check the link pl....http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/extended-battery-moto-g-t3250632

What's the on screen time you all get? I've bought my Moto G 4G second hand and its almost a 1,5 years old. I see that screen on time maximum gets to 4 hours, compared to 5 on the original Moto G I had before.
I'm maybe considering installing a new battery, or otherwise trying a custom ROM to remove some stock Motorola crap.

SOT about 4 hours is not looks abnormal to me, it there running lots of process.
would u plz try slimsaber (5.1.1) once?? if slimsaber gives u leess then 5 hour SOT then might be problem on battery.

. . . Getting an original brand new replacement from eBay can be accomplished quite easily. I have a genuine ED30 unit in my wishlist for just $12´13 at this moment.
. . . Regarding battery lifespan: How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries
. . . Thenceforth, if you stick to charging your battery up to around 60% of its maximum capacity you obliterate most voltage related stresses, effectively quadruplicating its lifespan. I swear it works (more than nine months doing this with my XT1032 by now).
Cheers

Anyone have a reliable/affordable link for a Canadian? My bettery seems to always jump from 30ish percent down to 20ish percent and SOT has gone down closer to 3-4 on all ROMs rather than the 5-6+ from before.

Mmm…

Sorry if a bit late. Search for "ED30" on eBay, and preferably use the full site (eBay full site on mobile; bookmark it ). I'd stick to the units who specifically claim to be original/from manufacturer accessories (generally $12+).
Cheers :laugh:

use some battery juice saver Apps (Eg. Greenify) $ Check your Wakelocks.. it might help to get some little battery boost..:laugh:

I have one XT1033 and i replaced my battery last year with some battery i bought around 15$ nor sure if it was original piece but it was even worse than my first one which turns off at 15%.

The key problem with online stores is that you do not even have an idea as to what the purchased product looks like and if you do, some counterfeiters can produce good-looking knock-offs. I bought a battery for the LG G3 recently and it performs the same as the one I already have even though it is new. The only clues that will help you with making a purchase is the seller and product reviews.
As for the Moto G (LTE), replacing the battery consists of unscrewing the screws, prying the inner battery panel off, pulling the ribbon connector outwards to disconnect it and pulling the battery away after that, and then reversing the aforementioned instructions, and I am thinking of replacing the battery for the Moto G LTE soon for obvious reasons.

I'm also trying to buy a new battery. Can anybody recommend a website where to get an original one?

Nexus 5 3000+ mAh battery mod

I was thinking about buying the Nexus 5 but I don't think I will be able to live with the battery life as it is. I saw the mod on reddit which allows you to replace the OEM N5 battery with the 3000 mAh battery from the G2 by use of a dremmel and some circuit board swapping (without losing wireless charging capabilities). I would obviously prefer to not risk this type of phone surgery.
I saw online a Chinese battery that is the same size as the original OEM battery, but listed as 3830 mAh. I was wondering if anyone had tried this battery in the N5? It can be found here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...D821-D820-battery-BLT9/339866_1760720916.html
Everyone has been saying not to use a battery that was not created by the original manufacturer because "they would have put in the best battery the phone could handle" but my argument is that 2 and a half years ago the technology may just not have been there. The N5 was a budget phone and they had to cut costs somehow. Has anyone done the 3000 battery mod or tried this battery out?
If so, what were your results? I NEED this phone to last me a day with moderate to heavy usage. (I generally do not go over 4 hours of SOT)
Thank you!

Read the review....
I saw a guy who complain about that it actually a 2400 mah battery
I think they just put the cover to it

Fake
Seller lied, battery is a sham, has fraudulent "3830mAh" label on top of the 2300mAh label
This is a review of the so-called 3830mAh battery:
"01 Feb 2015 03:52
DO NOT BUY THIS BATTERY. THIS IS A FRAUD. SELLER MADE ME WAIT MORE THAN 1,5 MONTHS AND AFTER I RECEIVED, I HAVE PEELED OFF THE OUTER COVER AND THE BATTERY IS 2400MAH INSTEAD OF 3830 AS PROMISED. OPENED A DISPUTE AND HAD FULL REFUND. SELLER CALLED ME A LIAR INSTEAD OF MAKING THINGS EASIER. CHECK PICTURES FOR PROOF"

So you expect some chinese company no one ever heard of to almost double the capacity of the oem battery?
The lg g2's battery is the only mod you can do, and even then you have to find the original battery and not another fake one.

I don't necessarily expect it to be 3830 mAh of battery the same way I don't expect a 5000 mAh external battery pack to fully charge the phone twice. However, if the battery is better than what is currently in there then that would be sufficient for me.
If the battery was shown as a scam as it was in that photo posted above, then obviously this conversation can end here; but look at how much smaller the battery he has is compared to the wrap of the Chinese one. Isn't this illegal? Or because it's a Chinese company they can blatantly false advertise anything they want?

Pretty much, happens all the time, all you can do is ask for a refund. Now start reading up on the g2 battery swap if you want more capacity.

THIS is why I am VERY skeptical about the rumors of the 2015 LG Nexus 5 (5.2", 1440p) and the 2700 mAh battery it will supposedly have.
The original 2013 Nexus 5 was 4.95", 1080p and came with a skimpy 2300 mAh battery. (My wife and I owned two of them and were always looking to plug in somewhere.)
A BIGGER BATTERY would have solved my one complaint about the otherwise excellent Nexus 5.
BUT, the 2013 LG G2 (on which the Nexus 5 was based) was 5.2", 1080p and came with a 3000 mAh battery. Why didn't they use THAT battery?
Now they want to give us a 5.2", 1440P display with a 2700 mAh battery? That's not even as good as the LG G2 from two years ago!
Come on, Google! Just put a bigger battery in it! If 3000 mAh was for the 5.2", 1080p LG G2, then you need BIGGER than that for a 5.2", 1440p display...
Here's what I'm talking about.
I skipped the too-big 6" Moto Nexus 6 for the 5.2", 1440p version of the phone called the Moto XT1225. Have two of them, running on AT&T on CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1). An AOSP ROM is also available.
5.2",1440p, Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM, Qi wireless charging, Turbo charging, 64GB storage, sound familiar? 99% same specs as the Moto Nexus 6, but in a BETTER size. Yet, my 5.2" Moto XT1225 has a 3900 mAh battery -- bigger than the actual Nexus 6 battery. It's GREAT!

It's truly a shame that Google thinks people prefer slimmer phones as opposed to bigger batteries. A poll showed that more than 70% of people would rather have a slightly fatter phone with a battery that can last over 24 hours than have a slim phone. The battery on the N5 is the only reason I can't convince myself to switch to T-Mobile and get it. The G2 battery mod might be my best bet.

Which battery have you used exactly?
Do you know for which device the battery was made originally?

SURE.
About 7.5H ( 100% -> 1% continuous movie playing )
Unfortunately, XDA prohibits external link of newbie.
So, I uploaded my Howto & Test result on imgur ->

I am intrigued if this actually works for for anyone.

Seller lied, battery is a sham, has fraudulent "3830mAh" label on top of the 2300mAh label
This is a review of the so-called 3830mAh battery:
"01 Feb 2015 03:52
DO NOT BUY THIS BATTERY. THIS IS A FRAUD. SELLER MADE ME WAIT MORE THAN 1,5 MONTHS AND AFTER I RECEIVED, I HAVE PEELED OFF THE OUTER COVER AND THE BATTERY IS 2400MAH INSTEAD OF 3830 AS PROMISED. OPENED A DISPUTE AND HAD FULL REFUND. SELLER CALLED ME A LIAR INSTEAD OF MAKING THINGS EASIER. CHECK PICTURES FOR PROOF"

i bought one really cheap i knew was fake but i didnt care
that´s the sticker the battery has https://gyazo.com/c412b36ae55f71c65185baf42ff2f182
but is a original battery of lg for the nexus as i said i knew that i did cause was cheaper that buy a original one scam the scammer xDDD

Just so y'all know, I've replaced my stock battery with the one from LG G2 (3000mah). Yeah, my install included using a Dremel to cut down excess aluminum from the frame etc, but the fit is like stock, everything including wireless charging works, 6+ hours of SOT. And yeah, I did it almost two years ago.
Best DIY ever, I only wish it came like that when it was new. I replaced the Nexus with a new phone in December, but just turned it on a few days ago, wiped clean, installed fresh nougat on it and goddamit, how I still adore that thing...

Is this 6000 mAh a good battery for 20x?

HI guys. I'm very interested in buying this 6000 battery? and i wanna know if its a good legit battery for my 20x.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33047747490.html?spm=a2g0o.search0305.0.0.34b96217yInvge&algo_pvid=aba6baae-5371-44ba-bab7-97a87ae71e6f&algo_expid=aba6baae-5371-44ba-bab7-97a87ae71e6f-1&btsid=0bb0623316212957389992031ed1e8&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

And how do you came to your conclusion?

It comes with a 5000 mAh battery, right?
This one is 6000... how could it possible be legit!!! The manufacturer squeezes in as much battery as is safe and possible!
Replace with OEM only.

If it was a compatible graphene cell I be tempted but otherwise it's a high risk venture.
When an Li fails it's not a pretty picture and can easily destroy the phone.

Yes a graphene battery would be ideal if one were compatible for the 20X. Amazon sells graphene batteries but how would one make them compatible inside the phone takes guesswork.

The power controller/hardware as well as firmware would likely be incompatible.
You would need to modify the battery connection as well. If you could find one with the right dimensions the phone would be likely incapable of super fast charging it.
Be nice if a company made retrofits for older phones but this seems unlikely.
So... keep throwing Li's at it
I may go to replacing them every 6-12 months. The ignorance/fear factor is gone in me. Routine maintenance now.

Yeah I hear you. Honestly I dont mind replacing my 20x's battery. But I'm headed down that end of the road for the phone for sure as its showing its age and wrinkles. It may be time to replace it with another phone with better, up to date specs as I'm eyeing the black shark 3 pro and note 20.
The 2 issues with the BS3 pro are the camera and battery. In reviews its cam isnt that good which is a downer and the battery drains fast despite its 5000 mah capacity. The Note 20 on the other hand has a very sharp screen but its still small relative to the 20X.
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place in deciding which phone is best. Ideally if there were an ultra crisp amoled phone with the same screen size and aspect ratio as the 20X I'd jump at the chance of buying it in a heartbeat.

Meh, wait till the right comes along. I'm in a holding pattern myself with the Note 10+, Pie
Other than the battery it's aging very well.
Got 5 years out of my S4+ with only battery replacement so...
