Dont need to worry about running out of power anymore!

I bought the same kind of thing for my X10 and loved always having a spare battery on hand. So I got a package for the Arc as well.
I gave the batteries the full charge/discharge cycle and they perform just as good as the original battery Also comes with a USB port and an extra Micro USB cord.

Pictured: Original Battery on left, aftermarket one on right. The external charger plugs directly into the wall and has a usb port and cable(which charges the Arc fine).
Got it from eBay and it was very affordable.
And... yes I watermarked the image so some douche doesn't steal the image to use

It looks nice, so you get two batteries and a charger. nice what was the price if it?

I got it for just $9.98 US + $2.99 for shipping. Cheap IMO, but they have more auctions. It came with a free capacitive pen thing, but I don't care for it.

That is quite cheap. How are you finding the batteries though? Usually cheaper ones usually only have around 80% of their specified rating.
On an unrelated note, last night I actually found out what the word "douche" means. Quite funny

They seem to last just as long, if the capacity is less. It is not noticeable. No worries though... I got a spare!
LOL! You learned a new word

If that.
There's also the potential problem of them not being manufactured with the same quality control etc, so being more at risk of swelling, bursting, over-heating and generally destroying your phone in some sort of horrible burn-y acid-y way...

Ye, I wouldnt be able to put in a battery like that in my beloved Arc.

I just hate turning off the phone to change the battery.. Imagine the phone can run without a battery for some seconds
larger batteries are better, but you can't find original larger batteries so you have to depend on 3rd party makers...
I'm thinking about Mugen Power batteries now thought they don't have Arc compatible batteries yet... the nice thing about these is they provide larger capacity ( and also bigger size ) but they also make the back cover that can hold the new bigger batteries and they make a lot of them for variety of phones... just take a look at their site !
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/

I've looked at Mugen before.
If they release a larger battery for the Arc with a cover that basically fills in the concavity (ie makes the back flat), I will have to give serious consideration to it - if it's a reasonable bump in capacity that is.
If the replacement back were to bulge though, I would rather have shorter battery life and a slinkier phone though...

Well, there are crappy ones and good ones. I have used them (aftermarket) in my X10 without any problems whatsoever, so if you don't trust them then don't buy them. Don't whine and complain about something if you have not used it yourself.
I know what happens if you plug your device by USB all the time, it will break! When it happens to you, you will start a thread to complain about it and I will be here laughing

with all my devices ive purchased a cheap hongchong battery charger with spare chinese battery's. Originally the batteries are as good but after time they dwindle, thats fine though they cost bugger all.
Ive never had issues with swelling, overheating etc but I do not have a habit of overcharging things.
Ive used these style batteries in my diamond,hd2,g1,magic,n1,desire and soon the play.

Yep, 10 bucks is not very much. You can buy batteries alone for even less

If I want a second battery I'll go for original batteries... but I hate changing the battery ( infact I hate turning off the phone then turning it on again, and what I hate more is adding another battery to what I'm already carrying !! )
that's why I prefer larger batteries, sadly SE and most other manufacturers don't offer these, specially SE for the Arc as I know SE response will be ( larger battery will be larger physically and this will require modifying the back cover to be larger and this will destroy the design of Arc !! ).. I'm okay if that battery will just make the back cover flat, I can live with that... but I can't live with carrying another battery and the hassle of changing the battery...

Each to they're own I guess the one minute to change battery and reboot far outweighs having to place the phone on a charger.. I don't carry a spare its just if I'm at work its 4 pm and my battery is low I don't care because one minute after I'm home its 100% again...

Well my experience with 3rd party batteries is they perform well in the beginning but their life time is significant less than originals.
By the way the watermark doesn't stop people from using your picture. If I have to I can remove it within three minutes and no one will notice it was there, but most people don't know how to do so or prefer searching for another picture to use for their own benefit... Best and only way to keep your pictures to yourself is not putting them on internet

Yeah, but such a large watermark takes time to remove. Removing it and reposting my image gives me all the proof I need of malicious intent. That would allow me to sue the violators ass off. I have caught people before and claimed damages from them, copyright law is on my side because I have that watermark on there in the first place

Hello, i have a question. Here is the 1800mAh battery, is this fake or?
http://cgi.ebay.com/1800mAh-BATTERY..._Accessories&hash=item2a10235567#ht_981wt_802

For $10 that's a really good deal, even if they only last a couple of months

[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

Andida 2600 maH BAttery for the Galaxy Note?

Hi, I was wondering if any of you had try that Andida battery yet? Andida usually make very good alternative battery to original but this product is still very new, I cant find any review anywhere yet about it.
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270914751329

Sorry for the broken link before, the link is here:
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270914751329

Hello, I'm wondering the same if any user have any experience with this battery that claims 10 to 15% more battery juice for the note.
http://tinyurl.com/74h85h2
It seems that Japanese batteries instead of Chinese batteries have more xxx on providing the claimed power or mah. If that is the case, there is other two interesting batteries to explore:
3000 MAH
http://tinyurl.com/6wohgsy
2900 MAH
http://tinyurl.com/6sayynn
Also, these two batteries cost more than other ebay offers of 2 batteries plus charger. That seems to say something too. I am tempted to try the 3000MAH. Right now I'm just getting 12 hrs with my use style. I would love to extend to 15-16 hrs. That would allow me for a typical work day.
Right now I'm using 4-AA Imedion batteries within a Gomadic charger. This allows me three days of extra power before needing to charge the AA.

I know for sure Andida have a good reputation, I dont know about these 2 others brand.
For sure I would like to know more if some forum user experimented already.

Sorry about posting the other options. I felt in the marketing hype. It seems that company (e-cell) is not selling Japanese brands and others with others phones beware of that.
So it seems we should stay with already proven brands like Andida, Anker and others. I will try Andida and let you know.

I bought 1 original Samsung Battery and one other "oem" that I never trusted. I'm about to buy that 3000mAh ...Did you try it?
Sent from my Xoom on EOS ICS Everest

No, I didn't. The thing is that if you search within the forum for the "Gold" battery from business batteries, you'll find that everybody say it is not Japanese battery to begin with and just hold around 80% of the marketed mah. That is less than original samsung. Other said it lost juice around the 10 charge. It seems that all batteries sold from e-cell in ebay have this problems. Getting a battery for a phone that is old maybe is ok, but since we are looking more power I think we should look somewhere else.
OTOH, it seems brands like Andida, Anker and Mugen are more recognized brands. I will try the Andida and hope to hear something around 3000mah from Mugen.

Don't try the gold battery!!!!! I had it with my HTC desire. Its an outright fake. If you tear off the gold sticker, its a really lousy cell with cardboard stuffed. Lower than OEM!
In fact, I had 2 of this ****. Shameful dispray!!

I purchased 2 batteries from China for 5$, free shipping.
First the China batteries are light, my digital scale says for the genuine Note battery 49 grams, an both chinese are 41 grams.
There is 8-9 grams less material to accumalate current.
And its true, chinese cheap ones last, full charged, 20% less than genuine.
For me its OK for that price, if i need extra power, the two chinese are in my pocket, as spare batteries.

so these extended batteries are same size as stock?

I recommend you don't try any of those. The gold one is as stated. For the Fei pu si, they have a track record with HTC desire as well.

Stick to Mugen and Anilda.

using it andida 2600mah almost 10 charges what i say bad then original. My ori batt from 100% to 99% around 15min on andida confirm less then 10min just normal browsing.

Guys I even tried Chinese battery and (as someone said) it's just lower in terms of weight. It even SMELLS...but works! Performance is about a 20/30% less instead of oem ones and I just leave it in case of an emergency.
About the "Gold" battery of e-cell, I don't really trust in a battery which seems powerful (in mAh) keeping the same shame! It's not logical, by the way I advice you to buy only Genuine OEM batteries and PERSONALLY I don't trust in sellers who say "genuine...oem...IN BULK". Original Samsung battrries are NOT in a bulk

Hey Anyone tried this

[OFFICIAL THREAD] Anker battery 1900mah

Hello there.
Im new here but i saw that there are a lot of posts about those batteries but there is no main thread to explain\share\review information about this batteries.
so I thought we need this one.
What is ANKER? Anker is a brand of batteries Fantasia Trading LLC company known more as a U.S. laptopmate
They have a website? Yes, [link will be here later]
What is special about the battery? The ANKER batteries reach a volume of 1900MAH Unlike the original Samsung battery [1650MAH], as of this moment is the most powerful battery-sized or enlarged with same size as original.
There is also a battery of 1750, does not interest most of us when the 1900
Okay, and how long a battery that adds me? It adds about 20%, of course it depends on the use
Do I need a new cover? No, the battery is the same size as the original so that it fits your device without the new cover
Is safe to use? Nothing is certain in this life, but so far everyone who has this battery was pleased ...
I heard about the guy that blew a battery ... has a documented case of a guy on XDA generic charger used to charge the battery outside the device, if you use an external charger use only original ANKER
Must use external charger? No, the battery is loaded in the device excellent with the original samsung charger.
OK, so where I buy it? The battery is not available for sale in all countries directly,but you can check\buy it from the manufacturer's EBAY or AMAZON store
What are most recommended initial charging? Recommended to 3 ~ 4 full discharge cycles (0% -100%) before starting to use a normal battery
more Q&A to come

reserved/reserved

I got this battery 2 months now and is really decent (i paid 11euros all included). With medium usage and 100 apps on my phone it's enough for one day. 50 apps and low usage with wifi on all day i get 50% by the time i go to bed.

Is this one really better than the stock battery? and is it works?

No this one is actually better. Not 20% but about 15%. It keeps me running for on day with medium to heavy usage.

It is a good battery at a good price. However, I have noticed that sometimes when my battery drops to <15%, the phone will just turn off right away without discharging all the way to 0%. Other than that it's worth the money.

I have had nothing but trouble since I bought mine. Bought froma reputable Ebay dealer.
Random freeze ups, phone would just die.
Tried multiple ROMS/Multiple kernels. Always thought it HAD to be something I was running, but when I went back to factory , my phone was stable again.
It's quite a drawn out story, but long story short, Im curious if I got a dud or if they all have a similar flaw?!?

No problems here. As other users wrote... it's not actually a 20% improvement but it is an improvement. I think that my battery is about 10% better but that's based on my average usage and observations.

Sounds like yours is a dud. I got two (had them shipped back home, then family shipped them to me since ebay seller didn't ship to Korea) and they work very well in my Korean SII, lasts longer than my stock batteries now.

are there any over heating problems with this battery?

Just brought this battery from Amazon for £10.99 will post update when I have got it and used it for awhile. Seems like a good bargain for the extra juice and the fact that it is the same size as original battery seems great

i am using it and i am fu**ing love it indeed

hi there you say everyone is happy that bought the battery -- iam not
mine lasted for 2 minutes before blowing up , iam not the only user that has had this either
if you read the amazon reviews for the sensation anker battery and the sgs2 anker battery other people have had them blow up as well
you say to only charge them in an offical anker charger but 90% of the places that sell them sell them with a cheap chinese charger and you havent shown any pictures of the genuine charger or anything which is a bit useless -- for those wanting to know it is white and has black writting that says ''anker'' the cheap chinese chargers are black and crap
also laptop me or whoever they are didnt give a monkeys about the battery blowing up and when i emailed them they didnt respond -- great customer services that
iam sorry but for £16 you can buy a genuine samsung battery with a bigger mah rating that can als be charged in an offical samsung desktop charger why risk house fires etc with an exploding battery and dodgy chinese charger
i wouldnt recomend the anker battery to my worst enemy let alone a forum full of sgs2 users looking for a bigger battery
a quick google of ''anker exploding battery'' will bring you back quite a few hits of other users and exploding batterys one guy had one explode in his phone

also why another thread on anker batterys?? we already have a few in this section already running what makes this an offical one?? is the op laptopme pushing their batterys or something??

I got two of these batteries and one charged off the ebay.. I'm using it for more than 20 days and it is working quite good. would say the battery lasting at least %10 to %20 more than the stock battery and I'm loving it

[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...

Yes man, honestly, after 3-4 weeks, if the phone is working, I don't care about the warranty... let's pimp our phone

here's a link to the facebook post for thumbs up:

yes i want :laugh:

Does it mean, that I'll need to open up my Nexus 5 and exchange the battery? Does anyone have a good link to somewhere on how to change a battery inside Nexus 5?

It will be great

Looking forward to that ...

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.

On youtube search "Nexus 5 complete tear down, Charging port fix, Cracked Screen Repair "
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.

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.
