Does anyone know where to get standard replacement batteries for these? I always like to carry a spare battery with me but can't seem to find anyone who carries 'em at this point..
Thanks

I ordered one in hopes that it'll be better than the OE...
awesome, I just ordered one also
Thank You!
sprint sells a extended battery 2200 with raised battery cover back.
$69 without shipping / taxes.
Definitely let us know what you can tell from using it. The battery life is one thing I would definitely like to improve on the mogul.

I got mine from Seidio on Monday; not a miracle battery but definitley better life than OEM. If you don't like the hunch-back look and want a second battery this is the way to go. I would extimate that it is giving me roughly 10% better life as they advertise.

Seidio battery may give a smidge more life; build is pretty poor though, and seems to be made of some paper-like or cardboard/plastic material, covered with not very well-fitting cellophane. If you never remove your battery, may not be an issue, but I suspect this one wouldn't take very many change-outs without getting rather worn. Also seems like it heats up a bit more...

Have anyone buy from here

Their batteries are pretty cheap. Rating from Reseller Rating is quite good too.
I am using 2 of these and they work real nice, very high quality batteries comes sealed in shrink wrap plastic which prevents air and moisture from getting into these batteries that kills it's ultimate capacity. Lasts longer than my original one from sprint... I tried those cheap $10 or less batteries before and their capacity fluctuate wildly, don't get those, these are nice, check out my rating:

So, XDA forum member nvgear bought batteries from eBay seller nv_gear? ... Did you get a discount?
Hi...
I need a couple of new high capacity batteries with a high mAh rating.
Do any of you have info on the best place to buy ?
Id rather purchase from a European vendor but will consider importing worldwide.
TIA.
Regards,
Mark.
i just bought a 3600mAh mugen off ebay. works great my first week using it. i get between a 1.5 and 2 days of usage where previously, i'd be dead by 9pm of day 1.
what size battery is that ?
I forgot to mention that I need a regular sized battery, IE one without a new battery cover.
...so it fits into my case.
If it is regular size, what's the name of the ebay seller ?
TIA.
Mark.

can the one they are selling on dealextreme be used for our p6900's? i know that one is for p3450 or something.. but will the back cover fit? someone wrote there that the battery does work on our phones but the cover doesnt fit properly and he had to cut it to fit? anyone else on this board has tried this option yet or is everyone spending over $50 for battery?
I looked at the one on dealextreme along with about 20 other web sites. I finally decided on a 2400 mAh battery by mugen power. I paid 69 US for it and shipping was free at nakedcellphone.net
When it finally arrived I was absolutely impressed for the following reasons:
the capacity of the battery is more than twice as long as the OEM bat;
the back cover is thicker than the oem cover but does not have the hump;
although thicker, it actually fits in my hand more comfortably. I like the way the phone feels much better;
the chrome ring around the camera lens looks identical to the original, and as one would expect the diameter at the outside is larger to avoid an optic tunnel;
color matching is identical to the Sprint Vogue.
This phone rocks!
yea the only problem i had with the dealextreme one was the back cover.. the battery is amazing.. lasts me forever.. but the back cover is quite ugly and doesn't fit the vogue properly.. it leaves a lil gap at the bottom.. i think its designed for the GSM version .. but the battery itself is amazing.. just incase u wanna buy it just for the battery...

MNN -
Sorry for the delayed response. No, the extended battery will not fit into the majority of cradles out there. But when I googled close to 50 different web sites selling accessories for the vogue, I stumbled across 1 or 2 who were advertising that they had cradles that would fit the thicker phones with ext bats. Sorry I don't have a site to give you but you should be able to find it if you haven't already.
Update to the Mugen Power 2400 extended battery:
It has awesome battery life, like a week or more on standby. I can get hours and hours of of GPS, phone use, mp3, web, etc. at least 8 hours or more. I love the phone.

Does the battery work well now?
Does anyone know dinodirect.com?
This site is also selling HTC replacement batteries. To guarantee your phone life span, I would recommend you to use original battery.
SKU: A0324000KD
This replacement can be applied to 6900.
I ordered HTC Touch battery from dealextreme, but i never received my order so far.. So i reordered it from Chinabuye, an online store from China. I received ontime with free ship cost. Through paypal, payment i made easily and find its safe with them. When it comes to quality, its good one and brand sytlish. Rates are quite cheaper and has discount features.
Chinabuye !
I think it will better to use online Shop from China Chinabuye rather than dealextreme !
Chinabuye has more payment options and free shipping option ! which make buyer attractive to buy ! and also it has great quality products !
The battery and cover I just purchased today are these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-BACK-DOOR...662959?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45ebf8516f
Looks like a really good price on the battery and I'm crossing my fingers that they cover will fit - looks like it should.
Good luck on finding the battery. These Vogues are all coming up on end of life for the batteries it seems as they can only be charged so many times.
saw it today morning on ebay, price about 18 usd w/o shipping costs (about 2 usd). i think to order that one, coz original htc 2300 mah still not available to ship and mugen 2600 mah is more expensive (64 usd w/o shipping costs).

i think leo with this battery is about 17mm (with stock battery - 11mm).
the phone would get so bulky that it's scary
Anyway, considering they are including a 2400mAh battery and a custom back metal cover (admitting it's metal and not some kind of plastic) for 20USD total, I'd love to see a proportionally priced spare vanilla metal back cover, which would be less than half, everything considered. Alas, all metal back covers I've seen are way more expensive than that.
so yay or nay? bulk isn't going to be too much of an issue. I wouldn't mind swapping depending on what I needed... be even better to have a dock that will charge the hd2 with the extended battery on, and have the original "spare" charging on the back.
Cover looks like plastic to me.
yeahh..... I ordered the 1600 mAh lol no need for that big ass cover and it only cost me $10 so.... yeh

Yup, it's true.. I now have 3 batteries (1500, 1600 and original) and they're all basically the same. Dirt cheap replacements though which is good on it's own
Just hate the thick back of the extended version, the thin-ness of the HD2 makes it pocketable regardless the size. Wonder if that still will be the case with the extended battery.

I just bought the ebay 2400mah with plastic cover and it doesnt seem to be double the original. 31% at the end of a day of light/moderate usage. the cheap price makes it no loss, but I really dont think it is a true 2400. i'll compare some more though...

I also bought Cameron Sino 2400mAH HD2 extended battery from ebay. Actually the capacity is almost double the standard 1300mAH battery but there is a trick! After the battery goes flat and auto off you need to take out the battery for a while and fix it back. Restart, then the battery meter will display 50% battery level and it can continue for normal 50% usage!!
I am still puzzling why this thing happen and hope anybody have solution to this. Thanks!
Seem this issue still don't have any solution. No choice! I try to get help from Cameron Sino (manufacturer for HD2 2400mAH extended battery) to see whether they have solution on this issue. Below the write up:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir,
I am recently purchased a Cameron Sino HD2 2400mAH extended battery from eBay. The battery is well build and the cover also well fitted onto my HD2. The problem I face is the battery is having compatibility issue that I need to do extra step to utilize full power of the Cameron Sino extended battery. Below the issue:
•The battery can be full charge and the HD2 is showing 100% battery level after full charge.
•To my surprise, the battery power draining rate seem not much different from standard non extended 1300mAH battery that it not justify for the extra thick battery and cover
•When it goes down less than 10% or zero power, I try to switch off the HP, remove the battery from battery bay for a few second then fix back, power on back the phone. The HD2 battery meter now indicate 50% battery power remaining and it can be continue use until goes to zero.
I would say this kind of issue is compatibility issue that it shouldn’t behave this way, It is very troublesome to off-power, remove back cover, remove battery, fix back battery, fix back cover, power on again to gain back another 50% battery power. It should be slowly drain down power (after full charge) with much slower drain down rate and goes completely zero as what normal Li-Ion battery behave.
Pls look into this issue seriously as I already feedback to xda developer forum on this issue that a lot of potential buyer will reluctant to purchase this 2400mAH extended battery because of this issue. I hope you can provide a battery driver solution and I should try to install. I will update to the forum when this issue is fixed, else the issue will remain open and it definitely will discourage people to buy this battery due to this issue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope Cameron Sino will provide solution to this issue and I should update once I gotten the reply. Stay tune!
DealExtreme now have a 3500 mAh battery with cover Link
However I don't think it's 3500 mAh and the quality is probably low and it wont be water resitance because it miss the extra internal cover for the battery.
there is such topic already, and this battery is the same, that already more than month selling on ebay
It's thicker than stock. I have ordered one similar to that as well. Just waiting on it to arrive. There is another topic here that is already about extended batteries for the defy. Your link does include the rear battery cover. However, I would not try and dip that in water unless you put some kind of waterproofing on the replacement back cover. Getting better battery life for cheap does have its disadvantages as well. Unless some company makes one that retains water resistance with a large battery and replacement back cover.

Oh it exist a topic like that already. I missed the "Extended Battery Idea" topic ._.
Anyway Dealextreme is a more know seller then ebay sellers so I would go for Dealextreme insted of ebay.
agree, i might consider the larger battery
This is really interesting! I want one too but if any of you were to buy it, i would be cautious since dealxtreme is known for having cheap chinese made products, theres an american company i found online that sells this battery: http://www.wirelessground.com/motorola-defy-extended-high-capacity-battery.html just sayin
Another dealextreme 3500mAh
Now there's also this one:
dealextreme.com/p/3500mah-rechargeable-extended-battery-pack-cover-for-motorola-mb525-73564 - 3500mAh Rechargeable Extended Battery Pack + Cover for Motorola MB525
In addition to the previous
dealextreme.com/p/replacement-3-7v-3500mah-battery-pack-with-back-case-for-motorola-defy-me525-mb525-bf5x-90589 - Replacement 3.7V/3500mAh Battery Pack with Back Case for Motorola Defy ME525/MB525/BF5X
Both back cases have no waterproofing. As (remaining) capacity is probably more related to age of the battery than to price; I would pick the newer white one. Anyway, you only loose $11 instead of ~$30 for the ebay options.
I just got a D.Seven extended battery for US$13
Its more than double the thickness of a normal battery, comes with an extra cover which makes you lose the waterproofness....and my shell doesnt fit now, the phone is now damn bulky...
Dont think i'll be using it anytime soon, unless going camping or something

Hi.
And what about the battery life ? Huge improvement ? Or insignificant ? Thx for the test.
It would be so uncomfortable to carry it after using this battery.
so....is it works?
at least should have double time usage with this battery....
... right?
I tested my D.Seven 3000ma battery....battery life increased by 20 - 30% only...
Just wondering if anyone bought one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/1X-Gold-420...880538?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416dcac91a or bought a simular battery with higher mah then the stock but keeps the phone the same size. Not looking to put on one of those crazy hulking back covers.
Thanks in advance
Personally had issues with batteries from china/hong kong, also they have been know to lie about size of memory on memory cards and basically just labeling over stock batteries with fake labels. If you were wanting an extend battery I would suggest getting one from a reputable company such as mugen or another name brand company. I highly doubt a battery less than $20 will be any better than the oem. If there were a way for samsung to get a larger mah battery in that size they would have. I think your best bet is either getting another oem battery or purchasing an extended battery with the larger housing. IMO
Mugen is definitely the best battery wise, so if u can find a good case with or without wearing the back cover then I'd go with that if that's in your price range
How about a 2nd OEM battery to swap.

I posted here showing a picture of the Onite extended battery I have and had someone comment on it showing that is wasn't fully snapped on to the back cover, well it was. The picture of the Mugen extended case, as provided in the same thread, has the official picture of the GNote2 with the extended case on it and it blatantly shows it not connect. Check out the thread.
I had great success with anker batteries on my note 1. Lasted as long or longer as the stock battery. Still being used by my son after 10 months of use and getting same duration out of them. Just got the qcell 3800mah extended battery for my wife's skyrocket and she has gone over 2 days on it now. Not sure about the lifespan yet as she has only had it for 2 weeks.

I used the 50% off code listed in the accessories forum to get a battery directly from Samsung for $25. Well spent for piece of mind and two batteries is likely more than I will ever need. Carry one as a spare and rotate them every few days or so.
Not sure of the code is still good.

That's a lie, I've had this battery in my n85, it was worse than the original, and was to be much better.
I have had great experiences with Hyperion and Qcell batteries. My mom is using my old GS3 and she says that the Qcell extended battery is still lasting her 2 days. There is no way that Mugen is 4 times better than either of those batteries. It does have NFC though. When my gs3 was new, no extended batteries had nfc, but they eventually added it. My guess is, in a month or two, Qcell will add nfc to their case. So if you buy one now and one when they add nfc you will have 2 extended batteries for half the cost of the Mugen. As soon as Hyperion comes out with a case for the extended battery, I am going to buy theirs.

True, i forgot abou that. Charger and battery for the sameprice of just the battery.
Also any battery that claims to have much more capacity (3800mAh - 4200mAh or more) in a standard size batter is BS. Everyone dreams of that mythical 5000mAh standard size battery, but it doesn't exist.
Unless I'm going camping for more than 3 days I can't see needing my standard battery with a standard spare.
I got this one from Amazon, And I've been super stoked!
(sorry, I'm too new, it stripped my URL)
The brand is Onite, and it was $24.98
it's a 6500 mAh battery, and cover. I've been wailing on wifi and wireless data all day while streaming pandora Non-Stop to my bluetooth beats, and at 10:42 PM, I still have 48% left.
This is the first phone I've had that I can talk with customers all day, and not have to put it back on the charger once.
A full day with heavy usage, and battery to spare at bedtime? Winner in my book!

I like that you don't need a larger back cover with this ebay one.... Anyone any experience with this battery? Also, with the larger batteries that DO require an extended back cover, how is NFC affected?
NFC won't work, because NFC antenna is in the original back cover.

you actually get nfc antenna included in custom cover, for example see here:

I googled this batteries,they dont seem low cheap *hit as golden batteries,but just google mpj battery s2 and I just see bad reviews of this battery,they dont provide 50 % of declared mah.
Sad, it seemed too good to be true. :/
Edit: This might be something? 2500mah: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2500mAh-Rep...040?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27d5bb3b98
There are varieties of extra capacity batteries for 4X, up to 4800 mAh @ 3.7V, but most require some custom back cover which usually doesn't include NFC anntena, and the true capacity is in question as is the quality (longevity) of these batts. Mugen's deal is genuine (from various reviews and remarks), the back cover has NFC, but the price is just insane, $90 for the cover and battery! And they're not that great:

There are varieties of extra capacity batteries for 4X, up to 4800 mAh @ 3.7V, but most require some custom back cover which usually doesn't include NFC anntena, and the true capacity is in question as is the quality (longevity) of these batts. Mugen's deal is genuine (from various reviews and remarks), the back cover has NFC, but the price is just insane, $90 for the cover and battery! And they're not that great:

Yeah, I'm thinking the $90 for a freaking battery is way overkill on the price tag. Unless that thing had a mini-arc reactor that can power the phone for a whole year without any slowdown, then the price is warranted. I've switched my original battery for the Onite 4800mAH and the performance is just about as impressive as the touted Mugen one for more than half of the Mugen price. Average non-heavy use on a single charge goes up to at least 2 to 2.5 full days to reach zero charge.
I've also played around batteries of varying sized from the gold 2450mAH up to the 4800mAH that I now use and I have noticed that depending on which battery you use, the phone either heats up insanely fast or rarely heats up at all. The gold 2450mAH battery I have has just as much of a pitiful charge as the original battery that came with the phone but for some reason, the recorded temp rarely strays between 77°f to 88°f at it's lightest and heaviest usage. The 4300mAH battery also shows the same readings as the gold battery. The Onite one I have that is 4800mAH is almost as normal as the original battery - in that it's temp rises depending on usage from 77°f up to 110°f (110°f at the worst without any throttling at all, graphite heat sink pad included). I have no idea why that is, but if someone here can explain, please do so.
As for NFC, I barely use it at all, but I do have more than one back cover that includes the NFC antenna for extended batteries if I ever feel the need to use NFC.

You have more than one replacement back covers with NFC built-in? Can you post some pics and where you got them?

Sad, it seemed too good to be true. :/
Edit: This might be something? 2500mah: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2500mAh-Rep...040?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27d5bb3b98

2500 mAh for that price? .... No Way. This is also to good to be true. And in 99% of all cases where something seems to be to good to be true, it usually is.

Can you link the onite battery you mentioned? and any suggestions to a battery that doesn't require larger back cover?

A larger capacity battery without larger backcover is impossible. The capacity of a battery is directly related to it's size (using same technology). Without using a physically bigger battery it's not possible to get more capacity, unless they invent a new technology. Maybe they can squize a few more mAh in there, but that's it.
So if you want a significantly larger capacity, you have to have a battery that,s substantialy bigger and therefore require a different back-cover.

I have a question. I have a leather flip case.
Because the back of the case is made of plastic and is not thin. Is there a similar case for the 4500 mah battery?

Did anyone tried this battery,I'm planning to buy this MPJ battery or Aku Polar,MPJ gives 200 mah more juice on paper,but in reality ?
And its cheaper than Aku,what do you think ? I have two 1800 mah golden batteries,one doesnt work and I plan to order stronger battery for daily use and leave stock and gold for backup
I can recommend this battery it gives more time of use

I just bought the MPJ 5000mAh Extended Battery for my s2, I'll report back when I get it to see just how accurate this will be. I figured $22 and can be returned, so why not try it.
They actually have their own site, http://www.mpjbattery.com/
Which most no-name batteries from China do not. So who knows!

keep us updated
Got the battery yesterday, I'm fully charging it as we speak in an external charger. The battery itself is massive and heavy (you would think it was actually 5000mah just by visually inspecting). I will update and post back after I put it in. The back cover fits perfectly and tightly, pleasantly surprised about that.
My last extended bat was on my my touch 4g, so I have experience with them. Let's see how this pans out!
