Anker 1900mAh battery?

Hey guys browseing Amazon or GS2 accessories and I came across the Anker 1900mAh battery.
Now ive had the Anker 1900 on the Sensation and its legit a beast of a battery with extra juice, anyone used this for the GS2?

why not just wait a few weeks and buy the proper 2000mah battery??
iam sure samsung would have made a battery this size if possible rather then build extra back covers due to the 2000mah battery they have designed
basically i dont think anker could squeeze another 300mah into the battery at no extra size , its probably not what it says it is and i would go the official route , i have found all these cheap batterys to be useless in my times of owning mobile phones
to sum it up just buy the offical 2000mah battery from samsung or the bigger one from mugen if you want better battery life

look for anker 2300maH on ebay for $12-14 . buy it and make a review

tempted!
im very tempted. amazon uk has an offer for 2 and dockcharger and travel charger for £13. Even if its 80% of original battery i would be happy. But seems like a new release..not 1 review...
I would get the official samsung one but i have the perfect a leather, carbon fibre cases. would it fit in there? i don;t know...will i find an equivalent case that fits it...i don't no. If only if they had a demo version with new battery in a highstreet store i could try putting my case on,

ohh this make has had some reviews from same phone and different phones
im not advertising lol, just discussing reviews

probably not even half that capacity..

I try the anker battery and doesnt work for me. That battery is bad quality because I charged and when the phone was in 5% the screen staring flashing. The phone reboot when is in 5%. I return the battery and they gave me a refund.

Eug measured the capacity one of the spider foot batteries as 2413 mAh.
Even though it is well under the stated rating there is nothing that touches it for value. USD $10 for a 2413 mAh battery is a fantastic deal.

Go on expansys if you are in the UK...they have them for sale on their website

I ordered an anker battery set. should be here in one or two days will report back

I ordered it, nothing to complain but follow my feeling its not like 1900mha... same as 1650mha... one more thing universal usb travel charge need 8h to full charge( output 350mha+-50mha)
>>> with me, im using USB cable + universal usb travel and ..... im smell something from cable so i never do it again

so basically your saying its got the capacity of the OEM bettery?

Read some really good reviews in the sensation forum. I would try this but its hard to find a seller who ships to Brazil.

yes, i do but its my opinion

My experience will be subjective, but I've been using 1900mah Anker batteries for the last 2 weeks. They are OK. With original battery I get 12-13 hours when everything ON! With Anker approximately 16-17 hours.

is 3500 mah battery better than 1900 mah ? increasing number of mah is better or decreasing ?

More mAh is better. Just be aware that the 3500 mAh spider foot battery is actually about 2400 mAh. At $10 that's not really a problem though...

2430mah stock size gold battery???

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has tried one of these.....
Its 2430 (or 2450mah) the ebay page cant really decide, im guessing its a typo.... Its the same size as the default battery. Thats a calculated 47% increase in battery capacity...
Link here:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110750637282?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Its the biggest battery capacity i can find without increasing the physical size of the battery and requiring a new case....
If not, i will post some of my own reviews once it comes through.

Ya i'll bet its a typo, more like 1450mah rather than 2450mah. No cheap aftermarket battery can even match the stock battery in capacity let alone offer 50% more capcity.

im not expecting a full 2400mah out of it, more like a 2100mah....
thing people need to realize, is the stock battery is made in the same places (sometimes) as these after market batteries. The quality might be slightly off, but not substancially..... they are all made in asian countries for less than $0.20 a piece in mass production....

You'll be lucky if it even matches the stock battery, you just can't magically cram more capacity into a battery. The samsung 2000mah battery is thicker and comes with a new cover, why isn't samsung using this battery if it has more capacity and is smaller than its own 2000mah battery? If its too good to be true(on ebay) it probably is.

probably the same reason why they dont release ICS 4.0 and other things straight away that other phones have that is better than what they currently have..... coz they are slightly retarded as a company lol

not a chance that has more power than the stock battery if its the same size. Those gold wrapped batteries from ebay always get really bad reviews. Youll probably find its 1300mah

Seen one review where it was a smaller battery in a plastic frame. Battery capacity was much lower than the stock battery. If it sounds too good to be true and it is cheap, then it probably is.

...are you serious? it's a proven fact that non-OEM/aftermarket batteries in general are usually worse than stock batteries. check out sites like http://batteryboss.org/ you can see testing of aftermarket brands like seidio and mugen...the actual capacity is between 55% to 85% of the advertised capacity, while OEM batteries are ~95%+.
as for what you said about samsung being a retarded company and not releasing the best hardware/software possible, you'd rather trust a random ebay seller with an UNBRANDED battery coming straight from china for $14 aus dollars, which is somehow still 47% higher in capacity, over a multinational corporation with trusted suppliers who are industry leaders in their own right? you really think samsung would willingly reduce their battery capacity in light of the huge implications it could have on the sales of their flagship phone?
as a final piece of evidence, here's a google translated website showing the testing of so called ebay '2430 mah' batteries. http://translate.google.com/transla...e/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-2-3500-mah-2430mah.html as he shows halfway down the page, the real capacity is somewhere between 1000-1250mah. terrible. you should research more before you blindly advocate for your misinformed purchases. all it does is drag other gullible members of this forum down with you.

Different material can make a big difference.
I know it's probably bull****, but i bought one of those battery and i was impressed by the time it last. I tought i would end with a smaller time than stock battery, but it lasted longer. I did not made super precise test, I don't have time for that. I must always be with latest rom / kernel so flashing a new rom or kernel a day don't let me much time to bench battery xD. My point is, that i think it last longer than original samsung battery and this, even if people are doing test that proof i'm false.

Guys you're all being very unfair.
This is obviously a Global Dynamics battery, I believe the model is 'Fringe'. It actually draws it's extra power from a trans dimensional link and was invented by Dr William 'Pointy' Bell.
I'd suggest everyone buy one.
The next version includes the facility to phone yourself after the final race of the day and tell yourself the result before it happened.

So this means the advertised battery should have a capacity between 1336.5 and 2065.5. So one could be lucky and really get a battery with more capacity than the stock one.
Sure, I agree with you that such cheap battery can't hold that much juice. However for a spare battery it is fine if you look at capacity/price.

Typo is an abbreviation of 'Typographic Error' and the phrase originates from when newspapers were printed using printing plates as against computers that are used today.
An example of a typo would be writing h3llo rather then hello or 1243 rather then 1234, it's usually a mistyped character instead of a spelling mistake.
Hope this clears it up for you.

True, but I also did mention that another site tested the capacity specifically for the ebay '2430mah' batteries, and came out with a total capacity of 1000-1250mah. Even if we take it as 1250mah, that's still a 25% decrease from the stock capacity of 1680mah, which is abysmal. You could argue that it's fine as a spare battery, but at that price and capacity you might as well just buy another stock OEM battery, and save yourself the frustration. However, I would definitely argue against using it as your primary battery, for obvious reasons.

Any GOOD suggestions to a STOCK size battery with BIG capacity, that WORKS? Or battery similar or better than Samsung's 2000mah battery?
I use mostly clear TPU cases. Thinking of cutting hole in battery cover for a bigger battery too.
I wish battery covers like those in the 2000mah extended battery kit could be bought in colors, cheap. And then get some nice battery.
Sadly all those mah ratings can't be trusted

There is the Anker battery with 1900 mah, but thats the biggest battery I know, that doesn't increases the physical size of the phone.

No such thing, its either the stock samsung battery or the larger 2000mah samsung battery, everything else is going to have lower capacity no matter what the label says. Check out http://batteryboss.org/ and find an aftermarket battery that has similar capacity as an oem one... there simply isnt one.

Indeed, it's very suspect. Item description reads:

* Stay connected with your family and friends by getting extra battery power today!
* This replacement battery has an integrated microchip that prevents overcharging and lengthens battery life.
* Best replacement for the original battery with comparable standby and talk time.
* Great bargain with excellent quality guaranteed!
* Type: Generic / Aftermarket
* Cell type: Lithium Ion
* Voltage: 3.7V
Capacity :2500mAh

So if the capacity is 2500mAh compared to 1650mAh for the stock battery, why are the standby and talk times comparable, instead of vastly superior.

it seems the battery doesn't fit inside s2 !see the comments in feedback section of the seller

So the conclusion is: don't buy this battery!

this is because some people having t'mobile version gs2 bought this battery that is for international gs2 only.

Ok guys here's the real manufacturer page of the Momax X-level battery. Same specs as stock. Not better

Any Li-ion battery the same size as the original is going to be more or less the same capacity, however there are many sellers who simply upgrade the label and charge more. This has turned into a bit of an arms-race where every seller feels he has to try and out-do the competition's outrageous claims. I've seen the same batteries advertised as 1650mA, 1850mA, 2000mA, 2200mA and now this guy's just trumped that.
When you complain that it doesn't last any longer than the standard battery you'll no doubt be told you have to go through umpteen discharge/charge cycles before it is at full capacity. This is also BS of course.
These are probably perfectly good 1650mA batteries, just don't get conned into paying more for a bigger number on the label.

This batt is fake, I had to buy one to believe it. I used battery monitor app to get the infor about its capacity and it says its 1650!!! Not 2500

don't buy!

I bought two pieces but same the original battery
not need for me...

One good solution for people looking for a greater capacity battery for the SG2 is the Anker at 1900mAh. I have it one year so far, and after hundreds of charging cycles it is still as good as it was the first time. Sorry for the off-topic, however not very often I have bought such a reliable non-brand product. Between 1650 and 1900 the small difference is, that the phone will make it through the day with a moderate use, because for heavy use not even the 2500 is enough....:good:

they don't. wtfmateim65 implied in his post that 3.8V and 4.35V made a difference, i was trying to clear up that misconception.
since the battery is the same size as OEM, there's no way that this battery is 3250mAh as claimed. also, if you look at the back of the battery it says 4.2V...just another fake like i said.
this seller is also implying in his auction that these batteries have short life, and to ignore it because of a "memory effect" that li-ion chemistry batteries do not have.
all in all, would not trust the rating, but it may certainly be a good replacement for the stock battery -- sans NFC and the extra mAh claimed.

Damn wouldn't that be a nice deal

I´ve checked the negative feedback for the last months of that ebay-shop and other which offer stock size monster battery´s, and some sounds like this: "misrepresented strength of battery", "Bad battery no difference between the original one and this battery very poor", so it seems like clear fake mAh strength. :crying:
I think Samsung itself would equip their flagship with a thin stock-sized 3000 mAh battery if it would be technically possible, but i think it is not and all the ebay items are fake. There are a few other battery’s on ebay with similar strength (2850, 2950 mah), and there are also negative feedback about their real battery performance, except the good feedback for fast shipping or something unimportant.
I bought two weeks ago a Polarcell 2400 mAh battery and I´m not disappointed, but also not really happy, there is almost no noticeable difference in life perfomance between the stock 2100mAh and polarcell 2400mAh (+15%), but i think their 2400mAh is real, because the Polarcell is noticeable heavier and like in all corners 1mm bigger than the Samsung stock.

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.

Or let me know how longer will phone last from charge than with original

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.
