High capacity (2400 mAh) battery for HTC Artemis

Now there is a 2400 mAh battery. The manufacturer is Chinese and they claim this battery will last 100% longer than the original. Oh and the battery is also 100% bigger than the original so they supply the customised back battery cover.

So to sum on, there is a better battery, at least it looks like it has better battery life, so its your choice to get another or to get this one?

I think I keep the original battery.
This one is way too bulky and I think the Artemis is quite sexy the way it is.

i thing, it is joke

1000% AGREE !!!!!

Man, that makes the Artemis look ugly.

when you have business trips, you will change opinion.

This is a nice battery.
I am using it

I agree with what biou said, go on a longer trip where you have no access to electricity.
I bought a double capacity battery for my Ipaq rx3715 which already has one of the best battery life on the market. With the big battery I managed 40 hours continuous use with minimal settings, 20 with normal and 12 with heavy use like video or 8 with extra heavy use, so video + WLAN + big headphones.
When I watch videos my Artemis lasts about 8-10 hours but when I surf the web power drains so fast! I think it lasts for max. 3-4 hours with WLAN on.
I might buy one of these or I buy an emergency charger wit mini-USB. I still can't decide which one I want to use.

Where and whec is it going to be available? Shipping to eu?
I agree that it is ugly, but going on a hike in wood i would better have this fat one as a spare in case i got lost. Happened to me - first thing u notice when lost in wood is how fast gps battery starts to drain and that brings surge of adrenalin/panic.

I have a similar one to this which I use on my extended trips away from the office which also generate heavy phone use and often using a BT headset.
On the positive side it can last up to 3 times longer than the original battery without charge especially when using BT functions.
On the negative side however with the extended battery in use the PDA does not fit the desktop cradle or my GPS car holder.
In my opinion well worth having for those times away from an AC or car charge.

I want to buy one, but what battery is the best? I don't really trust all the cheap batterypacks on E-bay, do you guys have some experiences with a good battery?
Please help me pick one. Thanks

I bought mine from eBay and have not experienced any problems at all.
My battery is black in colour with white text. 2500mAh 3.7VDC and clearly marked for the DOPOD P800W so should be easy to identify on pics of the eBay listings.
My only word of caution is that the two top (closest to camera) plastic tabs on the battery cover are somewhat exposed and therefore fragile when removing the cover and can snap off from repeated swapping of extended battery back to standard battery.
My first cover tabs broke and I bought a second extended battery just to get a new cover when I snapped the tabs of the extended battery cover. Now I leave the extended battery on all the time.
I can do that because I located a different desktop cradle where I could cut some of the plastic away to accommodate my Artimas with the extended battery fitted. I also have replaced my OEM card holder with a universal style so I no longer have the issues which required me to swap back to the standard battery.
Extended battery is great and IMHO not too bulky despite the initial look in the photos.

[BATTERY][unboxing/review] Anker 1900Mah

Hey, My first unboxing/review so tell me if I have missed something, The batteries are here For 2 of them, along with a wall charger with a USB port on, for £16 (Used to be £12) And on it's own for £8 here, There will be hopefully alot of pictures and info through out, and currently I don't know how well they perform as I have only had 'em a couple hours, or if that they are actually 1900Mah, I'll take of the whit bit later and find out, however, 2 batteries for £16 with a wall charger and a year warranty, I'm not going to complain
All the pics were taken with my SGSII and I have re-sized them, Hopefully they are not to small but I didn't want them to be huge, Also sory for any blur, I don't have the steadiest hand in the world
First the box, Starting right from the beginning here if anyone cares, Very simplistic, cardboard and says Made in China on the top, nothing too special.

Inside the box, Packed neatly.
What's in the box, the 2 batteries, charger and UK adapter (You'll see why later)
The charging unit, Which has (I think, Never been, there) a USA Plug built in, which...
Flips out to look like this.
The UK plug on it, (It slides right on)
Anddd,, Where the battery goes.
The battery (Both sides) With all the info on, Looks and feels high quality.
With the battery in.
Some of the instruction booklet (If you can read it)
It whilst charging, The light is actually nicer in person and more pink (Also fit's the original battery.. Obviously )
It fully charged/not charging, Blue/Purple light (again looks brighter and nicer in person)
Some comparison photo's between the Stock and Anker battery.
And that's all, I'll post how well it performs asap, But to be fair im going to give it the 3 recharge cycles as stated in the manual, Then compare it to the original.
Thanks for reading

great looking forward to the test results
wondering though how come some anker can put 1900mah in a battery the same sized as samsung and samsung cant do such thing as a default? hmm

Just turned everything on and clocked it up now to drain the battery , Should be done by tomorrow ,
I guess it's to save money on Samsung's half, But I'm not too sure either.

Intresting!
Subscribe this post, couse i'm really curious. Maybe i'll buy one for me

Had the same battery on my sensation, worked like a charm and gave me an extra 20-30% more juice. Don't know how it will preform on the SGS II though..

I'm curious too. My cheap Chinese battery's say their 1800mAh and is more like 1300-1400mAh which was no surprise at the time because its easy to print whatever on the sticker without proper testing. See here for proper testing http://translate.googleusercontent....h.html&usg=ALkJrhje4iAnKMYySrm1MUK2mZPX9GLr8Q and a few more batteries http://translate.google.com/transla...e/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-2-3500-mah-2430mah.html
The charger is identical to the one I got with my ebay batteries. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270758612241&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123
If you can't tell I'm a little sceptical about the 1900mAh claim but you never know. So I have also clicked subscribe

As soon as you tell me how it works, I'm buying it in the states. This one looks very promising. Is it the same size as the original? Thanks.

same size as the original, however as far as I can tell its ever so slightly thicker and heavier but not noticeable, also it seems promosing : D I've been trying to drain and I'm still at 16 percent, where as my stock would have easily died by now

It should improve after a few drain/charge cycles. Do you think this is the best battery without increasing the size of your phone?

Send one of these babies to eug, he is able to accurately measure the capacity.
Everything else is just pure speculation and I'm pretty sure these batteries will also turn out to be 1300-1400mAh.

You think I should cancel my order that I just placed?

i have had this for 2 weeks. Pretty good. Does the job. no overheating issues.
After the first 5 charge cycles the batteries take about 6 hours to charge in the dock, which is fine because trickle charging is good. And having 2 spare batteries, you can leave one on charge and have 1 spare with you.
Battery life increase....nothing spectacular , someone that knows how to test it should comment. I am interested to know the findings

Sorry but that battery didnt work. Already tested and the stock battery is more better. Just let the battery drain to 5% and you will see.

If these are in fact the same as the 1800mAh (1300-1400mAh) then they are actually expensive compared to them The charger is definitely inflated in price for just a different sticker.

so is this brand a good brand??

Damn well thanks for the info guys, 1400mah it is then,

I haven't done any lab tests but its feels the same as stock battery to me on day to day usage.
I bought from the brand because they have excellent reviews on htc sensation, people report 20% extra battery. check amazon reviews

verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interested! let us know

Also found it at Amazon UK for the GSM version:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/QCell-Samsung-3850mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B006SKHIKG/
Might end up buying one. ¿Any cases that will fit it?

Great find! I've searched daily for one of these. Thanks very much for sharing. I need one for backcountry GPS use and changing out small batteries always screws with settings. For $20 with cover and Prime, I'm jumping on it!

Just a quick warning that these are not NFC compatible. Personally, I don't use it, but it may be important to others.

Battery came very quick, very fast delivery and used for one day
I'm extremely impress with the performance of this battery. Typically on an average day, I only get at maximum 4 hours of battery life thanks to the 4G connection, now I can go on for a whole day without looking for a charger! will continue to post results as I use this more
Also will like to comment on the back cover. It has the Hyperskin texture just like the original case. Makes the phone just as grippy as the original case, the cover also provides an ergonomic contour for holding the phone properly. With the original cover I find it a little bit too thin to hold. Along with the hyperskin texture, this thing does not slip at all.
Overall excellent build quality and good lasting battery. This will be my main battery going forward

I don't trust Chinese batteries because of an experience I had with a Chinese battery I had for my DX2.
I will stick with my expensive Seidio batteries from now on. lol

seidio is like 4 times the price of this battery. I tried seidio before and although they are good, i find phones obsolete too quickly to warrant on an expensive battery with similar increase of batt life

At that price it's hard not to pass up. There are very few times I need such battery life but tournament weekends and occasional outings for events definitely would warrant this.

Just ordered one for flights with an external charger. Hopefully everything works out well.

Gonna give the Anker Multi-Purpose Universal Rapid Cell phone Battery Charger for Samsung: Galaxy Nexus one a try. Can't post a link for amazon since I don't have enough post.

Btw, just a heads up to you all.
If you look at all the posts of the OP, he seems like he is banging the drum for QCell batteries.
Just a FYI.

OP probably is affiliated with QCell in some way.

Can someone NOT affiliated with QCell give us your personal thoughts...
Battery vs Stock vs Extended Verizon
I'm worried that the cheaper cells used won't hold their charge after xxx charges. It happens all too often. I think all of us have had this happen to them on one phone or another. At that point might as well buy overpriced Seidio.

That picture makes it appear that the extended battery nearly doubles the thickness of the phone. I'm using the Sansung extended battery and while it adds a nicely needed "heft" to the phone that keeps it from feeling too cheap, it doesn't add a lot of thickness.

I ordered a GSM one from Amazon UK, there's not much price difference with the chinese ones on eBay and, although the battery might probably come from the same or similar place, the case seems nicer and if anything goes wrong I'd rather ***** Amazon customer service than some random eBay seller.
Will keep you informed, although I don't have the official extended battery to compare with.

I just got mine in today. Definitely is thicker and kind of looks like the seidio extended battery but it actually matches the color and texture of the original battery. I am coming from the verizon extended battery and am charging up the new one as I type this so I'll report back after I use it a bit

Hyperion Extended Battery

Ordered this a few days ago and it came in the mail today, it says for the i9300 (international) but I took the chance and it works great for my AT&T version.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BVIV06/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
It's a Hyperion 4000mAh extended battery. Its about the double the thickness of the stock battery and has a new back cover to come with it. On the card included with it, it suggested a 12 hour initial charge and then 4-5 cycles to reach full potential. I will be following up on the thread periodically over the next few days with some screenshots and other thoughts on how the battery is working out for me.
However, initial impressions are good. The back cover is good quality, however very slick compared to the stock one. The thickness with the added battery isn't terrible, and will definitely be worth it if it doubles the battery life like it should.

On the amazon site it looks enormously thick, like a half of an inch or so, can you measure it for exact thickness please?

5/8" thick total. Like I said, it makes it quite a bit thicker but double the juice... You gotta put it somewhere lol. At least it looks a lot better than the Note extended batteries did, those looked atrocious. There was just a bump where the battery was but behind the camera was stock thickness and it looked horrid.

Does the battery have the NFC antenna?

No nfc and bulky on a rather sleek n sexy phone...no go here. Plus the battery life on this thing is SICKKK, why the need for the extended batt? I could reason with an extra battery.

Well to add to my review, the back panel breaks VERY easy. My phone took a 2 ft tumble off my bed and it took a chunk out of the battery panel that came with the extended battery.

I was thinking of either getting an extra battery it just buy one of those battery packs that recharges the phone. Friend has one of the Energizer packs for his iPhone and it appears to work really good, that he bought an extra one.

Unfortunately, $6 shipping.
Looks nice though with an equivalent storage of approximately 2000mAh with 4 NiMH's in it @ 5v or 10Wh (minus whatever conversion losses, probably about 10% so 9Wh). Original battery is about 7.8Wh capacity.

if you want a good external battery pack goto amazon. serach for vaas battery. get the $28.99 shipped one with the 2.1 amp output
sadly its mini usb not micro to charge but at least its STANDARD and not proprietary. it charges up my S3 just fine should be able to get 2 full charges out of it or run the phone for DAYS if you use it while the phone it already fully charged.
it is by far the best battery pack I have purchased yet I would not by anything else.
they have a cheaper one. SAME battery but less amps on the output. if you buy 2 to avoid shipping its under $16 a pop ($15.70 each) but I am not sure if it has enough power to charge. I know the 1amp outlet on my unit does NOT properly charge my S2/S3 (trickle charge) I have to use the 2.1 amp outlet.

Stock charger for the S3 is 700mA so a 1A charger should be more than enough. Some dual port chargers list 1A but limit each port to 500mA. I sometimes wonder if using higher capacity chargers (I've been using some HP Touchpad 2A chargers) might have thermal issues shortening battery life. But, I like the quick charge.

my stock s3 charger is 1A ??
there is "port" differences. I have a VAAS battery pack I use (6 of them I power a lot of stuff) and the 2.1 amp port charges the S3 fine but the 1A port is "slow" (trickle??)

Anyone having problems with this? Fit, finish and signal?
I just got the Hyperion Extended battery with the dark colored back. I also got their case to fit it.
All was well when I put the new battery in and covered it up with the new back cover. I then installed the case and left it to charge. That took about 3 hours to go from 58 to 100.
When I picked up the phone, I noted that there was no telephone signal (at home it was on wifi). I checked the settings (not in airplane mode) and then turned it on and off again and it was still no telephone signal. So, I took the case off, put the old battery back in and all was OK. I switched back and the signal is now good.
I noticed that the back cover was dirty. I thought I had gotten some kind of smudge on it so I wiped it off. The smudge just got bigger. The cheap coating of paint was coming off.
Earlier, I had noted that the charger plug didn't feel quite right. When I looked closer, I saw that the small top part of the opening for the plug didn't quite fit. We're talking a millimeter or so, but it doesn't quite fit. It is so thin that I cannot consider cutting it.
My first inclination is thinking that Hyperion is junk. Since I have been considering getting a new, bigger battery almost since I got the phone a couple of months ago, I don't want to give up.
So, what are your experiences with this company's products? If I send any part back, I have to send it all back. The battery came with the big cover so if I send back the cover, the battery goes with it. If I send those back, I don't need the case.
Where do I go from here?

I just bought the Hyperion as well. So far, so good. I did get the Hyperion case as well. The power and cooling buttons are really hard to push. Can anyone suggest another case that will fit the Hyperion?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

No issues with mine so far. No signal issues like other member mentioned. The back cover fits very well. Charger plugs up with no problems.

[Official Poll] Mugen extended internal battery

We all know that the battery on Google N5 is not *that* battery, so it would be great if an extended battery for our devices came out.
Mugen Power said that we are likely to get it somehow. They are concerned on a fact: internal battery on N5 means no more warranty. Anyway they want to see how many of us are interested in this, so that they will evaluate the possibility of doing this...

You can find it on ifixit.com
Main issue would be there are tons of stuff on the back cover - antenna for Wifi, GPS, NFC etc, and the vibrator. A bigger battery that has useful capacity increase will be bigger and will need a new back cover, so it not going to be cheap to replicate all those features unlike the back of a S4 that is all plastic.
Using their S4 battery as an example, the version that is the same physical size give 6% capacity increase - 2750mAh v.s. 2600 mAh. Same increase for an N5 don't seem worthwhile to me unless the old one is dying and I am looking for an replacement.

Here, it takes 2 minutes

Wow. Yes. I would absolutely buy this IF:
The kit cost less than $70
Comes with a quality replacement back (read: not a cheap one)
Comes with a quality case (again, not a cheap rubbery one)
Most importantly: Keeps the phone slim!
That last one is crucial. I don't want a fat phone. A 3000mAh battery would be worth it to me and shouldn't feasibly add that much bulk.

Your points are good but... I meant a battery that doesn't need any replacement case/back, just a extended battery of the same size. I would buy it even to gain 300 mAh

I think what you're asking for is probably impossible without losing some type of functionality like NFC (if NFC is integrated into internal batteries like it is external batteries for many phones).
You can't just magically make more room for a bigger battery, and I'm sure the technology the battery in the N5 is based on is standard for consumer phones (probably lion or li-poly).
I'm sure if you could have easily shoved a bigger battery into the Nexus 5's chassis they would have. I imagine the G2 has a bigger battery because of a different internal layout and different chassis.

Honestly I don't really know how theese kind of things work. Aren't manufacturer able to optimize (just a little bit, of course) capacity/space rate?
I think yes, but they keep away from doing this because of marketing and so on...

What ever they come out with it has to be better then the nexus 4 case that they made as well as the one zero lemon made

count me in for one. :good:

If it's possible to get a battery with substantial gains and still allow the stock cover to be used, I'd be very interested.
I'm just skeptical that's possible.

Main issue would be there are tons of stuff on the back cover - antenna for Wifi, GPS, NFC etc, and the vibrator. A bigger battery that has useful capacity increase will be bigger and will need a new back cover, so it not going to be cheap to replicate all those features unlike the back of a S4 that is all plastic.
Using their S4 battery as an example, the version that is the same physical size give 6% capacity increase - 2750mAh v.s. 2600 mAh. Same increase for an N5 don't seem worthwhile to me unless the old one is dying and I am looking for an replacement.

Any idea if they could keep the back cover and add in a 4 side extension between the front and the back to make room for the battery?

Yes Mugen! Please do this

We all know that the battery on Google N5 is not *that* battery, so it would be great if an extended battery for our devices came out.
Mugen Power said that we are likely to get it somehow. They are concerned on a fact: internal battery on N5 means no more warranty. Anyway they want to see how many of us are interested in this, so that they will evaluate the possibility of doing this...

Nexus owners kill warranties all the time by rooting.
