I was just looking for a good deal on an extended battery on Amazon and came across this jewel...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042TY68C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1N1UQZS4G6GV9
I have seen the price on this fluctuate all the way to $19.99 over the past week, and it is $5.99 right now...
It may not be Seidios, but for that kind of money... who cares?
I hope this helps people out there...
Not again...aren't there hundreds of threads relating to this same read that you added or am I being ignorant
Edit, these are the same ones on eBay from hong kong for like 6 dollars
its 5.99 Now

True, but the reason why I posted this is because you are buying this from Amazon and not from some other place in Hong Kong via eBay (read faster shipping.... I am getting mine in 4 days as opposed to 2 weeks+ from most vendors in Asia on eBay). Plus, I tend to like Amazon's customer protection a bit better than eBay's tbh.
You are correct also in the fact that there is the thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857957), which talks about the 3500 mAh batteries (as well as a few others) but this one has digressed into a heated debate as to why Seidio wants to profit out of batteries, so posting in there would have been kinda useless.
Truth be told, I am not asking a question about the battery (which is the case for most of the threads that you are referring to), and if I would have had a question, I would have searched for an answer as I always do. I am announcing something that I hadn't seen posted here, which is special (limited time) price for a high capacity battery from a very much trusted online seller. But hey... what do I know... I am only one of the Site's admins...
PS. Next time, please don't flame.

5.99 + 6.98 for shipping
It is back to $20 + shipping...
i got this same battery from amazon a few months ago for $25...it shipped really fast and it still last all day everyday, i never have to worry about bringing a charger with me or extra stock battery like before...last week i tried out my original stock battery because i havent used it since i rooted and thought maybe with my new rom and kernels it would last longer, it was dead in two hours, so i put this one back in...from when i wake up early in the morning til when i go to sleep late at night i still have anywhere between 50-75% battery left..i recommend it.
thanks
egzthunder1-- thanks and i feel safe asking this question seeing your a mod.
beezy69 or thunder-- aparantly it is an ok battery and will do better then the 1500 that the phone comes with, but my question and please PM an anser not to make this thred full of junk, how much bigger is the battery door? i have an otter box impact series gel case it is a bit lose with the stock battery, do you think it will fit in this case? or do you know a case i should get?

I have not gotten this yet, but the back covers for the 3500 mAh batteries I have seen pics of are not that much bigger... then again, until I don't see one live, I will not trust pics. More than likely, your current case will not work though as the battery is considerably larger to begin with.
Hope this helps.
thanks thunder, did you order one? I an hoping the case fits. As it is a bit lose. Who know again 12 bucks can not go wrong.

When buying this battery,
Make sure you guys do the 6 cycles (discharge / charge) or else you'll be screaming at your phone again!

Just a few bad reviews but the good ones far outweigh them... it could very well be because of the charge/discharge cycles...

i'm assuming this means that after you fully charge it...DO NOT put it back on a charger until it is pretty much dead?? Then proceed to charging it back to full??? I would like clarity on this as my battery will be arriving today (which I bought off ebay for $11 from a retailer in Chicago) and it didn't mention that in the listing.
Ceeb thanks for asking the question I was going to ask. As normally I do not fully discharge my battery. But I am curious to hear why. Also everyone is saying use an external charger I have been using my old tp2 for that would that work as well with this battety?
Thunder is the cheap hdmi cable an amazon brand? I bought 3 amazon brand ones for my tuner, blu-ray and tv they worked better then the 60 buck one I had. And they were like 8 bucks.

Glad you posted this.. Keeps me from having to make my own thread... Both my friend and I both purchased this battery.. And we both agree its awesome! Was $13 shipped when we got it. Battery lasts all day no problem, especially once I put Warm2.2 with an SBC undervolting kernel. Cover fits as good as stock and doesn't look obnoxious like the Seidio. It is still bulky, but not too bad.
As far as the charging/draining debate... I did 4 cycles from full to completely drained, and my friend did not (just topped off like normal). I have to say our batteries perform the same. So I'm not sure the charging/draining is necessary. I still say it can't hurt, so I would still do it. As far as the using an external charger, I would say that also isn't necessary. Difficult to get the extended to 100% with the stock ROM, because the phone stops charging once it hits 100% and then charges back up when it drops to 90% (as far as I know). So for that reason, the battery drops from 100% to 92% or so pretty quickly, but then drains slow after that. As I said, I switched to an SBC Kernel and it goes all the way to 100% (4.2Volts) and stays there. Then actually stays at the upper range for a long time, effectively giving you your 8% back.
Overall, this battery is awesome... Highly recommend!
this is the same as china batt i bought from ebay. been using mine for 4 mos now and its still doing good. one full charge lasts like 1 day and 15 hours with 6-7 hours wake time.
I really do not want to mod this phone I have the Sprint warrenty. So it looks like it will still charge so I am excited for days I go and use it for social media pictures, and series radio streaming. Thought I have to figure out my msl so I can fix the streaming stuff.

I bought this battery back in November and have nothing but good things to say about it. Highly recommended!
I paid about 30 shipped back then too. Great price! I think I might get an extra.

I have seen that on ebay. Some of those deals come from hong kong. Shipping takes forever. Great deal tho I have had one of those knock off extended batterys and it worked like a champ.
Wow! I'm now using one battery while charging the other on the external charger. Shipping took a bit, but I am completely satisfied with the money spent.
Found the same deal for 17 free shipping

That sounds about standard for that package, I think I've seen them for as low as $16 with 2 of everything
I just bought a 2 pack (2 batteries and 2 covers) for $18 with free shipping from Georgia. Hope to get it soon. Should I really expect a short life for this battery?
I bought 2 extra batteries and a wall charger for the battery itself(1). I never run out of juice cuase i always have 2 extra batteries in my car. The items did come from hong kong and was only like 9.7x anyways it was really cheap and works liek a champ as some1 said before. These hong kong items are an american buy

I cannot speak for the extended batteries, but for the Hong Kong knockoffs 1500 mah, in my experience they are just as good as stock.
subscribed for OP's experience with said extendeds
I have 2 sets of extra batts and an extended batt. I rotate every day and it seems to keep the batteries fresh. Plus I don't charge them in my phone so I don't see that loss of 7-8% juice when you unplug.

Thanks for the info. I've got my battery in and used for about 3 days. At first I was worried b/c it drained quick. But I let it drain all the way and then did a full charge and it's running like a champ. I'm going to cycle it one more time as well.
Currently I'm sitting with an uptime of 37 hours and 5 minutes with 35% battery life. This is with my normal use during the work day that consists of texts, some web browsing, phone calls and random games/facebook. Doing this usually requires me to charge my phone at work or it will die pretty soon after being home.
So far It's been a good $20 invested for both my battery and wife's.
I just ordered the Seideio 3500 mah battery from Newegg. I've read nothing but good reviews for that battery, I hope it works out good.
I have been using the "Chi Chi Tech" 2x "1900" mAh batteries & charger from Amazon. I have been using them for about 5 months, swapping them out a couple of times per week and they last just as long as the original 1500mAh battery that came with the EVO, maybe even a little bit longer.
Not a bad deal for $24.
I found this thread where G1_enthusiast reviewed Anker and Seidio batteries for S3, but I also found the 4600mAh battery from Mugen Power earlier than these, and ordered it.
All I head is that cheap batteries are made out of almost expired materials and work for like 200 charge cycles, which explains their price. The expensive ones like Mugen or Seidio work for 400-500 charges, which is better, but would be awesome if some one could review the 4600mAh one. I will post my results later when I receive it, but I don't have experience in doing such tests.

reason why they are not popular is the price tag, i used to think their company is out of japan but in fact they are base out of hong kong (people tend to think china stufff are ****ty). so what make their battery better than anker or hyperion? having say that, i have own their battery before (G2 and SGS2) and they do make battery longer than stock. however i was not into crazy testing at the time. i will not pay 100 bucks for battery again, as long as anker is in bussiness.
seido is the only battery company that is base in texas...thats not to say their factory isnt in china either. they also make quality battery in the past

Well, as I head many times and experienced myself on older phones (I have a 3900mAh from Mugen for Nexus S that works for 1.5 years already) - industry standards cannot produce a good quality battery and sell it for 10$. Those batteries are usually made out of expired materials. The issue here is not just the capacity but the battery life cycle. Cheap batteries have confirmed to last for 100-200 charges, however batteries from Seidio or Mugen last for 400-600 charges, not to say about warranty and safety + NFC support.
Also, for me personally customer support and brand presence is more important than being cheap. If I can afford a phone that costs 800$, I surely can get a good quality battery for a 100$. I will get the battery soon, btw, and will let you know.
I also posted this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30770441&postcount=85
I wonder if the Mugen battery will work with the extended cases that are being offered. I got one from Hyperion that I like. Judging by pictures it looks like the Mugen extended door may be a little bigger or designed different.
If the Mugen would fit with the other extended doors and TPU cases I would buy it. I've had great luck with them,

If a cheap extended battery lasts for 200 charges and I charge it every 2 days, it's still going to last over a year. I expect to have a new phone by this time next year if not sooner. So what's the big deal?

That is why you go for tested name brand but not super expensive. a mugen costs more than 5 times what a hyperion, qcell, etc. costs. but it is very unlikely they will last 5 times as many charges. there is nothing like a fresh battery!
Well, they're always out of stock...I guess they never back back-logs. Anyways, I've received my S3 battery and now I need to calibrate the phone according to their instruction. They say that it's necessary to charge 4-5 times for 8-12 hours before the phone recognizes the new capacity. Does anyone know why?

This is not the official one, it's Chinese. But in a emergency the extra battery does the trick. The phone won't fit with the case, you have to take it off.

Hey all!
I just found out my battery is swollen. It's not so bad now, it lasts a day where it should last 2-3 days with that usage. But I don't want to end up my phone exploding in my pocket.
So I'm buying a battery from Ebay and I can't simply trust these guys saying "GENUINE OMFGS LOL!!1!". I have one chance to buy as it takes weeks to arrive and I need the battery ASAP.
Anyone bought a battery from Ebay? Which one is really genuine and which one is not? Which one looks more genuine. I don't want extended batteries. I need "original, genuine, g8, wildfire" battery. I need your help choosing one

Finally the zenfone shutdown and never restart.
Any idea about trouble ?
Thanks for help
The battery is fully dead now.. It won't turn on.. You probably getting 2 times vibrations while putting on wall charger..
I've been facing this issue a while submitted to service center they replaced the battery.
Fix; you need to navigate to asus service center and buy a original battery from there will be a good idea.
If replacing battery DIY style, make sure it comes from reputable source. Got mine from ebay, advertised as better than original.
Although it holds charge for a day I must not overcharge it, see screenshot.
It gets to 100℅ Then in 5mins drops to 50/25/12/0 and powers off. missed my alarm multiple times now haha
Where can I buy a good battery for ZE551ML?
so we pretty much have to trash our phones when the battery dies? I cant find a battery!!! asus.com amazon.com nothing

Yep, I paid $15 on eBay for this battery. I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but my SOT doubled (went from <2 hours to being >4 hours), and my quick charge works again (on last battery, it stopped working).
The battery is slightly different from my original one (model # wasn't exactly the same, and the version # of the adapter on the battery wasn't the same). It was kind of a pain in the ass to install, but it still worked after I installed it.
I can't promise that you'll have the same experience, but the seller is highly rated and there is a 30-day return period.

Hello everyone, Is there a way to know how much actual capacity (mah) is available on my zenfone ze550ml battery?
The AccuBattery app claims to calculate the actual capacity of your battery (mah) and the more charging cycles you make the better the accuracy of the estimation (although, judging from my case, the estimation does not change a lot after the first cycle)
I had my battery replaced while in Taipei for a cost of NTD 1000 (about USD 30) including labor. The Asus service center in Taipei wanted the phone for 3 days; they recommended a shop that did it in 90 minutes. The shop claimed it was an OEM battery, but it seems to discharge more quickly. On the other hand, it doesn't suddenly die with 30-40%.

Don't look like an official one, also what's the deal with the ones that say 3400mah instead of 3000?
Is that even compatible?
