Any high capacity 3rd party batteries for the Tab 8.4? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
Just wondering if there is a higher capacity battery for the 8.4?
I know a lot have problems with battery life and extra juice would be good also
Thx

Batteries have real physical limits if they're going to be their real, stated capacity. There's no magic technology that makes a battery higher capacity while still being the same space. That's why phone batteries that really have higher capacities need extended cases. Since you can't do that with a tablet, you can't have any real high capacity battery.
So you're left with powerbanks/external battery packs. They do work well but be sure to get a name brand like Anker or Aukey if you want properly stated capacities. They make slim ones that should be about the size of the tablet if you want to hold it while it's charging instead of having a brick by your side.

mah vs battery type

Hey guys, anyone knows if i have :
2 double AA wif 2700mah each that gives u 5400mah (using energizer energi to go) compared to lithium batt of 5000mah (using sanyo mobile booster double li on batt)
which one would be better at charging our high power consumption PDA eg. HTC touch HD?
It's not just about mAh
It's not just about the mah of the battery; you also have voltages to think about.
I have a good investment in 1.2v nimh batteries - so 2 of those would give me 4000mah if connected in parallel but only provide 1.2v of.... voltage. Then, consider your phone - it probably has a 3.7v lion battery. To get to the same total capacity and voltage, you would need to have 3 batteries connected in series (give you 3.6v or possibly a touch more if really full) to get close to 3.7v at 2000 mah.
I've built external packs for my Creative Nomad Zen (same type of battery, 3.7v 1000mah) using 4 aa batteries (4.8v, 2000mah.) The stock charger was 5v 1000mah, so it was close enough. A bit bulky, but it worked great in the car where I didn't want to buy a charger and already had the batteries. Of course, odd things can happen when the voltage of the "charger" goes below the expected input. As an extender for something USB Chargable, you could probably do the same thing with 4 batteries to simulate a charger and extend your runtime. I'd suggest "aaa" batteries to make the pack smaller.
Do not try this if you have no clue regarding electronics. You can hurt your phone, hurt yourself and light stuff on fire. And not in a cool way.
Sorry bro didnt quite understood ur conclusion here.. Wasnt electronics trained and educated haha. But anyway yah i do understand mah is not the main thing here..
But rather the voltage. So i would suppose a lithium works better at charging high power devices given approximately the same mah specs?
Alright; just so we're clear - your question is regarding whether a lion/cell battery will do better than another chemistry battery when powering a phone?
The real boom is power to weight. Look at a double a battery and compare that to your cell battery. Hold both of them - the lithium ones for a given capacity will be lighter and smaller.
Both could power a device like a cell phone for similar time, given the same capacity.
Hope that helps....
oh thx! that realli helps.. But however with regards to sanyo's website. 2x 2100mah enelop batteries could onli power a cell phone for 70mins. But its lithium 5000mah could power it for 2hrs! Doesnt that conclude that lithium gives more power given the same capacity?
Even same mah Li-ion is better than NiMH due to discharge characteristics. Li batteries lose very little voltage from Topped up to full allowable discharge. So has more usable power for a device that was built for nearly constant voltage like ours.

Could fry your phone as they state that you shouldn't use "inferior charger" lol. They'll blame your broken phone or battery on the charger.
And I bet it is no where near 2300mAh..... So many cheap batteries state they are, but in reality they are no where near the capacity they state.
I bought some cheap Chinese batteries knowing they woiuldn't be as good as the original battery even though they state 1800mAh. And guess what, they are not as high a capacity as the genuine battery, probably closer to 1000mAh of gut feeling. But they are only for emergency use because I do not trust them a lot so try to reduce the risk of them ruining my expensive phone, more for leaking or exploding rather than high voltages (because high voltage is not really possible with the chemical nature of batteries). And I never charge them in the phone in case they explode.
I have read that a lot of these batteries are in fact smaller generic batteries and all they do is put an external case on them to make them fit different phones. I wouldn't be surprised if the one you linked to is the same battery as mine but with a different sticker.

Internal Battery 3830mAh??

Found this battery on Aliexpress http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...D821-D820-battery-BLT9/339866_1760720916.html
Wondering if thats even possible? and if anyone have tryd it out?
the battery is easily replaceable if you know how to open up the phone
I know how to change it. Wondering if this is possible 3830mAh where the stock battery is just 2300mAh.
Buy it and put it in battery tester. File a claim if it's not 3800 mAh.

Non-OEM batteries make false claims about their ratings on a daily basis. They never provide as much power as they claim and using them increases the risk of your phone exploding.
Even if it's a full 3830 mAh the cheap knock-off batteries like that typically have greatly increased internal resistance which leads to not actually achieving any better battery life.
It's not ideal but if you really longer battery life I'd recommend an external option, like this.

Non-genuine high capacity battery: has anyone tested?

Hi there,
I still love my Nexus 5, but the battery life has always been terrible.
I already changed it once for the genuine 2300mAh battery a few years ago and now it's starting to die too.
So since I wanna get a new battery, I told myself I might as welI get one with higher capacity (like these ones on AliExpress: QCKBST, XINBONG, HSABAT, LOSONCOER) and I wanted to know if someone ever tried non-genuine high capacity replacement batteries.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Those are all fake 2300mAh or less batteries
Only higher capacy battery is described on my thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/nexus-5x-battery-bl-t19-2700mah-battery-t3739848
or the lg g2 battery, but those batteries are very old, not worth it
try the n5x mod if you can solder and dremel a bit

6000mah Battery for Mate 20X legit?

Saw this aftermarket 6000mah battery for the 20X on aliexpress, good reviews all round (one review says it's 7500mah). Has anyone tried this? If so how was the installation process?
5000mah already lasts me 2-4 days but 6000mah would be really handy during heavy use days.

Here you go. The 1st link is a video teardown and the 2nd is a guide. You will need to apply some heat to open the cover. But a blow dryer may suffice. Buy T7000 glue to glue the cover back on. Its a very simple removal, not hard at all.

No these chinese companies trying lie to sell ... not just with these batteries but any other.. just peel of their label and u will see original 5000 huawei battery
I know some of them do lie but you can't go around saying ALL chinese companies and sellers are frauds. If you're going around making unsubstantiated claims with not even a shred of evidence no one will ever take you seriously again, at least not me.

Is the battery bigger or thicker than orig ? u cannot make bigger mAh and keeping same size man think.com ...
download an app which detects battery capacity and let me know who was right ...
Or let me know how longer will phone last from charge than with original
Edit : I attached picture from your link and they claiming in description ''above 5000mAh'' How can you be so naive??
And 7000 ?? yeah right ... keep dreaming..
And one Russian (with bad english) left only 3 stars s the battery apparently is not any good .. Didn't understand quite what he was saying.. But 3 stars says it all
to be fair its not all just about size, there is a thing such as energy density, which is actually the most important factor in a battery's design
in general, i would advise caution when buying non-original batteries. at the same time, higher capacity in the same form factor is totally inside the realm of possibility.

As I know about batteries. Li-ion batteries has best density
Speaking of cell density batteries there would have to be new design and new technology.
For more battery cells you obviously need larger battery ! THAT'S WHY Mate 20 X / Honor Note 10 battery is the largest from all.
Battery Size
Although higher-capacity batteries generally last longer than lower-capacity ones, they are not always suitable for use in every device. To achieve a higher capacity, battery makers often have to fit more cells into each battery. Cells are the parts of a battery in which the chemical reaction needed to generate electricity happens. Increasing a battery's cell count can in turn increase both the size and weight of the battery, making it unsuitable for use in slimline devices such as smaller cell phones and netbooks. The temperature and speed of electrical current discharge affects the overall capacity of the battery. Poorly made batteries often heat up too quickly resulting in performance issues or degraded capacity.
To calculate a battery's life, divide the capacity of the battery by the current required by the object it powers. For example, imagine that you have two batteries for your cell phone, one with a capacity of 1000 mAh and one with a capacity of 2000 mAh, and that your phone requires a current of 200 mA to function. The first battery would power the phone for five hours, as 1000 divided by 200 equals five. But the second battery would power the phone for ten hours, as it has double the capacity of the first. While a larger number indicates battery power, larger mAh batteries may not be better if it is a poor quality battery. It simply means it can store more power.
Cell phone battery life is heavily dependent on the way in which you use the phone. The more features you run at the same time on your phone, the more current your phone requires and the quicker the battery's capacity drains. This is why using WiFi or running complex games on your phone drains the battery quickly. As such, a battery with a high capacity that is used to power a smartphone might last for less time than a low-capacity battery that powers a basic device.
