Here's two batteries from Mugen Powers, a 1800mAh and 3600 mAh. From my understanding, The 1800mAh will work with the original stock battery cover. And of course the 3600mAh, has the bulkier build. Here's some links for those interested.

Let us know how it works out. I'm curious if there are any heat issues associated with the larger-capacity battery.
I just bought the 1800mAh, but it will be shipped in 10 days and will take 10 more to arrive!
anybody got a 1800mah one yet? thinking of getting one but im not sure they are worth it, has anyone had a battery from these guys before?
Mugen is one of the best second party manufacturer for batteries! It's really quality, no Hongkong Crap.
Interesting, Ive always wondered about suposedly good aftermarket batteries. ....Mugen you say !
OEM batteries is the only option unless the battery is inbuilt. Why are people so gullible? The manufactures always uses the best cells for their phones as it is part of the features present, i.e. long talk/standby time.
I have a HD2 and bought two original batteries which were not from Ebay.

maybe its because the people who know they are no good are so patronising when they are saying such. Not everyone has knowledge of these things and not everyone has had experience of this before but thats no reason to talk down to them. Its logical that these batteries should be better, after all they are rated 400mah higher, if thats not the case then you cannot blame the person who buys it thinking it is.
After market batteries is not a new phenomena and people buying such batteries should have learned by others which have made those mistakes before. It does not matter if it says Mugen or whatever on the battery.
I bought a battery for SE P1 on Ebay for 3 GBP and the picture was showing the retail package. When I received the package it was a "Walkman" branded when P1 is a business phone. I filled a complaint and received my money back. I would never do it without PayPal covering the full amount. I knew it from the beginning, if it sounds to good to be true it is not.

no, but what about somebody doesnt know anything about battery tech, or somebody who simply bought their phone from and o2 shop and has never had experience of other people buying aftermarket batteries? how are they supposed to know?
i came into this thread asking questions because to me it seems a little too good too be true, i know very little about battery tech but i do know a fair bit about other areas. other people, even those on this site may not have the slightest clue other than 1800 is more than 1400 and to talk down to them because of this is very unfair.

Mugen makes horrible batteries and have a long history of such incidents such as the ones above.
£26+ for 400mAh more - seems a bit steep IMO.
Better to buy a second genuine BST-41 from SE - seen them for the same money all over the place:
For example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/EMARTBUY-GE...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274285908&sr=1-6
and

So long as it arrives with SE logo and hologram on it, it's probably fine.

Not true. The P1 battery from Ebay did have a hologram but when comparing against the original battery there was a visible difference.
Mugen 3600 mAh battery
I got my 3600mAh battery on Friday and it works great! 5% drain an hour even with heavy useage. I can go the whole day without charging and still have 30% before I go to bed, beats the OG battery which I had to charge 2 times a day which sucked...
I'm personally a bit skeptical to 3rd party batteries, but I would like to have a 3600mha battery, the added thickness is not a problem. But as far as I know there only available battery from Sony is the stock 1500mha battery?

That's exactly how my original battery behaves... lol
Not for me.
My original 1500mAh battery was dead by 3.30-4pm after taking it off charge at 8.30am and that was with moderate use. Its been dead by 2pm before now.
Got my 1800mAh Mugen battery and i can take it off charge at 8.30am and have it still on 40% at 5pm after heavy use during my lunch hour.
It does work much better
Saw an eBay auction for the Mugen battery set up by "Mugen Battery".
Read the lower lines and they want to add 19% VAT after the sale is completed to all EU buyers by sending you a separate bill for the VAT (totally against eBay rules)!
What a bunch of shysters!

Basically, these are just a numbers on batteries like that (cheap, chinese..)
No quality at all, i wouldn't recommend buying this.
Agreed. They dont look genuine at all and may potentially harm your wildfire.
I ordered one. I will tell you how it works after i will test it.
Cool. I was about to order one to test.
Can't wait for the little review

anyone find out if these things are any good?
$10 seems really cheap for a battery.
For a comparison, do you know if you can buy a new battery from HTC and how much they cost ?

Looks like that's what you're after?
hi I bought from ecell and it is good (3-4 days) original less then 2 days.
so no problems at all then?
edit: ecell dont sell the 2430mah batteries
WOW seems to be working.3-4 days instead of 1-2.Good but it could possibly harm our phone.
Usually the reason why certain items are cheap (especially on ebay) is because of its poor quality.
BUT, on the other hand, you cant always judge by comparing prices with big companies such as htc as once its in their possession its usually been through a few hands and they have to make up the extra costs aswell.
Therefore its usually cheaper because its coming direct from the manufacturer, or from a supplier directly linked to the manufacturer in the same country. And of course certain taxes can be avoided by marking the products as 'gifts' when shipping...
i've had my eye on a 3700mah (i think) battery and cover to accommodate the slightly bigger size, as im quite a heavy user and the current battery is lucky to last half a day. the size is a bit of a put off though so i might just get the next one down from that, instead.
Yeaa you're right.We usually pay for the name of the product.Sometimes no-names are on the same quality as those who sells big companies as HTC etc.
im still not too sure on this. But 2430mah in a thin battery?! Doesnt sound legit.
Anyone got the 2430mAH Battery and have some results for us ?
I received it yesterday. I charged it this morning and already it indicates 50% off. I will return it and ask for a refound.
Try clear battery stats first. Then reload. Phone Cant know the right capacity else

I just found a 1800mAh battery on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/BA750-1800mAh-Ba...218652?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb7d4dd9c
I also know that Mugen Power has 1700mAh battery, but I never been Lithium-ion batteries. Thus, I thought to try this one. Anyone else also bought this battery?
or is it just fraud?
Very hard to believe, specially with that sort of price tag !!!
So this thing fits in the normal case?
This looks fantastic. I've been waiting for a normal sized battery with higher capacity
Edit: Although, look at the official SE product page:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ba750?cc=gb&lc=en#view=overview
Same model number and everything and it's only the 1500 one. Not sure about this :s
just found this one as well and its a very low price for a battery very suspect indeed any one actually got one ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gadget-Giant-Ericsson-Capacity-Battery/dp/B0057R4Q9C would like to know if these truly exist.
The seller on ebay has selled 73 Pieces :O
Do you think that is the original ba750 with 1800mah
At those prices, I doubt it's original. Moreover, a lot of people fall for such scams because of the price but LOL, in the end, they do add up and make a lot of money for the conman
What I've learnt is that if something seems too good to be true, you're probably right.

Obviously not because BA750 batteries are 1500mAh.
2 things never to buy on ebay: sd cards and batteries.
I have the Mugen 1800 mAh battery for my X10, I just purchased a new ARC .. Will the 1800 Mah X10 battery work in the ARC? I don't believe so, but has anyone checked if the X10 battery works in the ARC ?
Completely different batteries, so they wouldn't be cross-compatible.
The X10 uses a BST-41, the Arc a BA750.
They're actually a different shape, if you've got bot handsets it should be glaringly obvious they're not interchangeable.
I bought this battery as my backup battery; well, travel a lot and have lots of fun with my arc pretty much.
I will let you guys know if it's good or worst than original one. I barely can expect same quality as original one. but we will see!!!!

Another link, same battery:
http://www.obostore.com/1800mah-and...ida+Spare+Battery+for+Sony+Ericsson+Arc+LT15i
Thank you the answer
I ordered the battery from obostore and I would say it's a good standby battery to have.
Battery can precharged 60%.
Charge to full and stream video off my nas with full brightness and was able to last 2 hours 45 mins before it shut down with 33% left.
2nd charge and again stream video like above and was able to last 3 hours and 20mins before it shut down with 21% left.
Now is my 3rd charge and will use it as per normal and monitor it's durability.
Btw, battery temperature doesn't reflect correctly as well. Will post more update....

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-2430M...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326647685&sr=1-5
Still not even lasting a day with the stock battery. (GTmax one was better).
If this is junk think I will just get the 1800 Mugen Power one.
(I think the performance of the stock battery is horrendous - perhaps I was defrauded by shop I bought it from (One of the staff needed a new one so swapped theirs for mine etc. Never buy from Dial A Phone).
This was posted on my thread for the 2600mha battery. From what I make if it stay away from ecell. Here is the link. This is not from me but from another user on xda. I am simply pasting the link he provided.

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it
E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!
yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

Nice, and it has an extended cover. I heard I other threads that there wasn't a extended cover. Anyone here tried the e-cell 3600mAh and the cover? Also, is the mAh increase picked up by the phone automatically, or will I have to tweak a build prop?

i have also an 3600mha battery for my r800i and the duration icreased to about 50%.
The extended cover is really nice and fits perfectly. the only problem with the extended cover is, that it squeaks.
The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.
same weight?
Any good links? Preferably off amazon? I feel like 18 months later my battery has drained substantially.
I'd always prefer Anker battery, same size had 2200mA. Shouldn't be noticeable heavier as it has only 100mA more than the stock battery. It also comes with NFC/Google Wallet support. And they last very long, coming with 18 months guaranty.
I apologize to everyone if I answer in a thread with a question that could have been asked many times before.
