Hi, looking through these batteries at fleaBay http://tinyurl.com/5n7hko who can recommend which would give me the best performance - preferably better than the original.
Currently with WiFi and Bluetooth on, I am lucky to get 3-4 hours of life out of the thing.
I can't comment on the batteries on the link you've posted because I'm no fan of Ebay electrical products, bu there are numerous other batteries which have been discussed on this forum too.

Thanks, seems like Mugen is the best brand. I ordered a Mugen 1500 battery so as to not enlarge my back cover and all my docks can still work. £23 from http://shop.eten.hu
I got my self this extra battery booster:
http://www.batteribyen.dk/sanyo_mob....html?osCsid=709f85814938661bbb6d24dd990ea4d3
Neat little thing with about 5000 mah and it has two usb ports so that I can charge up to two devices.
With this I don't need to charge my phone/battery booster for 4 - 5 days.
Hello all,
I've ordered my Streak, and it will arrive tomorrow!
I'm looking into buying spare batteries and an FM trasnmitter that accepts the 3.5mm as input.
The Dell site itself sells batteries for 40$. Anyone know of someplace (dealextreme or similar) where I can find one cheaper?
Only seen spare ones on Ebay
And welcome to the Streak Family you will love it
There's a thread right above this thread that discusses two Mugen battery options. The 1800mah is around 40, from Mugen, but it's a higer capacity battery. You might be able to pick one up on eBay for cheaper. The other is a HUGE 4800mah battery. It's like 130 bucks.
If you still don't want to pay that much, you can get cheapo batteries on eBay.
I would like to buy extended battery that is same size like an original so it wouldn't stick out...
I have read few threads about that and I know that there are few 1800mah batteries which are really just fake 1270 mah...
So...what is max capacity in original size?
Thanks
15000mah Mugen is only option for same size & real stated capacity.
reality is a different battery technology would be required to better that.

As above, there is little in the way of a regular sized battery with considerably more capacity than the stock battery. If you're looking to keep the slim look then I'd consider doing as I did and investing in either a cheap 2nd battery (either used genuine or cheap Chinese) off eBay for a couple of bucks. coupled with a battery charger which charges both the second battery and the phone, im yet to find a situation where im without power.
Sent from my HTC HD2 (Android)
my solution to lack of capacity was to use a usb charger pack running from 4 aa cells (2100mah hybrio cells) & mod pack to activate 1Amp charger mode.
cost less than $20 & is easier than swapping/booting & externally charging hd2 batteries.
I'm actually selling my barely used 1600mAh battery on eBay (link here). I used it for about 10 days before the touchscreen on my HD2 went bad. No added bulk and the battery life is about 30% better than the original battery. I bought it from a seller in Hongkong after reading a HD2 user's suggestion here. It's about 10USD if buying from China, delivery will be from 14-30 days.

And what capacity does T-Battery application show this battery at ? for sure not 1600Mah ...
Oops ... double post ...
There are two type of good batteries momax or mugen. (Even the fact that both companies have an own website says already a lot).
Muggen has higher capcity while momax uses better cells according to 6 pages of user experiences. Both will preform about the same like 20% capicity extra. I would go for the momax since it works better in android (capcity is close to orginal one) and it is a bit cheaper 21-27 usd according where you buy it.
Momax X batteries are produced in same factory as Andida.
The momax HD2 replacement battery gave me no extra usage time, if anything less.
It may give 20% extra capacity if compared to a 2 year old fatigued OEM cell but new next to new OEM wins hands down.
If you say so...
My experience is different anyway and from a lot of others to and I can't use any battery wich has higher capicity then the stock one because it wont work well in android.
Also andida battery come from:
http://www.laishenglong.com/en/
And I am almost sure that they are not made in the same factory andida battery's look more like fake clones.
But maybe you can show me some evidence.
That was what I was told by a dealer in Hong Kong when I purchased a Momax.
The reality is a battery with less Mah than stock is not going to be 20% better but they are ok & give reasonable performance & quality for the purchase price.
Andidas registered address is Hong Kong as is Momax but neither have factories in Hong Kong.
The Andida & Momax X batteries & packaging are identical from what I looked at in Hong Kong. The Momax HD2 battery is not the X series & is different in battery wrapping, labelling & packaging.
Is buying the battery on ebay smart?
Where should I buy it to know for sure I get the battery/capacity I want...
What capacity do you want & do you still want standard size ?
The only battery that I have seen that is really higher capacity & sized same as original was a Mugen, all others read standard Mah rating when tested with tbattery.exe.
The chances of getting a higher Mah standard size battery off eBay is probably zero. A work colleage purchased an Andida 1700Mah from eBay seller snow9white for a TD2 & real capacity is 1100Mah, but ok as at just under $10 inc shipping he was happy as performs as good as OEM & he already was aware of Andidas overstated capacity.
I've read something about better cells and no need for higher capacity...so I don't care about capacity really...all I need is more time between charging it...
But I don't want to buy something on ebay, if I am not sure that it will be better as the one I have now...
The only thing I want is battery in original size that doesn't sticks out or need extra battery cover...
More time = capacity. quality of cell will have some link to overall run time but the main issue is capacity.

Yeah but I am not talking about the stock momax battery I believe you if you say it preforms the same as stock..
I am talking about the 1250 mah x-level variant.
Before you have only the stock variant since like 2 months there is the x-level variant for like 21-27 dollar.
http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1303&T=1
Yeh I bought mine about 3 months ago & is not x-level model cell, no HD2 x-level at that time for HD2, will have a look for the x-level HD2 in Hong Kong & if sensible HK$ buy one for a test.
Ok which one is better? The Momax X-Level or Mugen Power?

http://shop.momax.net/?sp=&p=6&cat2=635&cat1=113&cat0=46&id=3396&cat1=113&cat0=46&new=&more=&lang=en
Is the Mugen worth almost double the price?
Mugen should be the best in terms by capacity & quality but with the price diference between the two it makes the x-level a major player.
I will be going for an x-level as price direct here in hong kong is just too good, don't really need one but want to test it and see if they are as good as current hype.
Ok guys, I just got the X-level battery today, I'm charging it right now and post later on how well it is.
I am looking for non stick out or same size battery for my HD2 with extra mah like 1500-1600mah. Is there one in the market that actually better then original one? quite a few out there from china but seem fake or not better then oem. If you personally use one that better then original please let me know where buy
None are available, have tested a few & all are same as standard or 5% up at absolute best .
Andida & Momax are good value replacement but around standard mAh, Andida being my favourite.
Best bet is a spare standard size battery & or a USB battery pack.
You could risk buying the expensive mugen 1500mAh but I would not ! ...
I got bored of high capacity batteries & got a USB charge pack that runs on 4AA rechargable batteries (2200mAh uniross hybrios) modded it for fast charge & it will do 2 charges at good speed & costs less than $20 & fully servicable when batteries age .
So I purchased this for my note off eBay. Paid about $40 shipped to my door. Impressed by the quality, it looks sturdy and would last a while.
I used battery current tester and only got 600max charge apposed to the 1200 my stock Samsung charger puts out.
This means 4-6 hours charge time instead of 2 and I must say when I use the phone on charge it actually sucks battery.
It's rated at 2amps which was my mistake but unsure if it makes much difference at 2.1amps.
" Input: DC5V---1000mA; Output 1: DC 5.3V?1000mA (Max); Output 2: DC 5.2V?2000mA (Max)
1A & 2A output at the same time, suit charge for mobile phone, Tablet PC, Digital Camera etc."
Does anyone know how I can get 1200? Or can suggest a power bank for the note 2 that can hold a good charge in say 2-3 hours?

I assume you are not on Verizon and using Galaxy Charger Current app to track your current?
OK, here is a scoop on external battery pack you got. Since you bought it from ebay, I can guarantee you that Yooboa is a fake HK version. eBay sellers buy it form Aliexpress retailers in bulk and re-sell it at double the profit. Take a look here: http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...00mah&catId=0&initiative_id=AS_20130429044248 - you can get it for $20 shipped free to US (but aliexpress retailers doesn't accept paypal).
There only a few authorized Yoobao resellers in the world, and Kevikev is probably one of the few (if not the only one) in US. Even at his discounted price, this real model cost $55: http://kevikev.com/Yoobao-Long-March-11200mah-Power-Bank-for-USB-Mobile-Device-YB-642.htm
The fake ones look very real but have fake guts. Beside 600mA current you measured (or maybe it's just a typical 500mA pc-usb current?), it most likely is not 11200 mAh but probably half of it, and you also have to take in consideration 30% de-rating on top of it since mAh capacity on external batteries is at 3.7V while it has to be converted to 5V usb output where you loose 25%-30% due to inefficiency.
I recommend Anker and NewTrent external power banks I have tested and reviewed (summary of my review links in my signature). Just keep in mind those mAh numbers in reality are always 30% lower for the actual capacity your phone sees. I also been informed NewTrent will be releasing 13000 mAh slim battery in a few weeks which I'm going to review as well. But either way, Anker and NewTrent are trusted brand names (with a ton of amazon positive reviews) and offer 1A and 2A outputs and also 1A input charging of the battery itself so you can quickly charger your battery pack and then quickly charger your phone as well.
I'm on an Australian Telstra phone.
Used the original cable for those figures which is embarrassing.
Looks like I'm tossing this junk, I'll just go buy one you mentioned.
Thanks heaps for your help

You are welcome. If you are not in a rush and can wait till mid of May, the NewTrent upcoming PowerPak+ might be a good choice since you are after a higher capacity. I only have their preliminary spec but its going to be 13,500 mAh (@3.7V) with 1A input charging, and dual 1A and 2A outputs, and dimensions of 125mm x 68mm x 28mm @ 283g.
Also, as I mentioned in other threads, stay away from those ebay no name 20,000 mAh ext battery bricks...

Believe it or not, i read your reviews and cross checked some prices online.
The NewTrent may be a better battery than the Anker, but its about 3 x the price to get them from US to AUS.
I ended up getting the new ANKER A4 13000mah
1. Because the 3E was the only other for sale
2. They're both USB input so it makes more sense just to go the higher mah rating
3. Its a new model
Paid $60 shipped to my door from ANKER off ebay.
I purchased it for travelling across Europe - i want the option to charge via AC + USB instead of just AC with the Anker 3. I only intend to use it with my Note anyway and bought it because Hostels won't always have free powerpoints.
My last question i was worried about and just bit the bullet with is: How long does it take to charge via AC (samsung stock) ? It says a crazy 8-10hours on the website via USB. I don't want to leave it alone fearing someone will steal it if its 10 hours.
Thanks again - how do i thank you in your other post? can't find the button.

Uh, totally forgot m8, you are Down Under I know it has been mentioned before by others that shipping outside of US for some products could kill the price. Or sometimes you can't even get the product shipped out; there is a thread started by another member from Australia about getting Zerolemon 9300 mAh battery.
I was about ready to suggest another battery from Yoobao (genuine) rated at 15,600 mAh for $60 from Kevikev, but it probably going to cost you arm'n'leg to ship it out. Sounds like you got a great deal on that Anker battery and even after de-rating you should still get 3 full chargers of Note 2. Regarding charging time, just look at it this way, your rating is 13000 mA-hour. The input to this Anker E4 is 1500 mA, and that's how much current it will take every hour so 13000 / 1500 = 8.6 hours. I think it will be closer to 8 hours of charging. Your wall Samsung charger is 2A which means it can supply up to 2000 mA of current which is plenty for battery's 1500 mA input to charge it at full rate. But if you are using a wall charger rated at 1A or an old phone charger rated at 500mA-750mA - your input will be charging at a much slower rate because AC charger will not be able to supply full 1500 mA amount. Probably charging overnight is the best idea if you are worrying about someone taking it away. But these things are so small, and even with stock usb cable you don't have to be next to outlet. Probably put a newspaper over it or something when you are away? These don't get overheat even considering 30% of energy loss.

I paid $49 + $9 shipping - a bargain in my book. All the other batteries are $50 to ship, which is about the price of the unit itself!
I think i will stay away from Yoobao from now on haha. 8.6 Hours is OK, it doesn't need to be fully charged at all times - just enough for a quick recharge in an emergency situation where i can't find a charger or provide another 3-4 hours battery while im kicking it on the train for 6 hours.
I couldn't get the Astro 3 anyway - even if i was looking for a 4-5 hour AC charge.
Looking forward to testing this badboy out!
