2600mah battery

what do you guys think about this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-EXTENDED-BA...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a5c1f18ce

don't know that I'd buy it. especially coming from hong kong it's probably pretty terrible qualitywise, but I like that battery cover better than the actualy HTC extended battery cover.

Well, as nice as it would be to have nearly twice the power, it looks like it would make the phone monstrously thick. I may like my women curvy, but I like my phone thin.
I'd also be a bit concerned that the recess for the camera lens and flash will interfere with picture quality, causing "barrel" shadow as well as limiting flash light splash.

Agreed...looks pretty chunky to me...jc

I think I may be picking this one up... I like hong kong stuff

has anyone picked this up yet? any reviews?

It has gotten some positive reviews over at androidforums. It probably won't last more than a few months until it stops holding its charge, but for $14 its worth a shot. Another seller is selling two batteries, the cover, and an external charger for $22, so even if both batteries fail, I figure I at least won't have to do anymore bump charging.

I bought a battery from China one time for my blackberry and it worked well for like a week but it didn't carry a charge to well then I leave it one nite fully charged and I wake up its dead.... and it happens every single time...
I BOUGHT IT AGAIN AND SAME PROBLEM...
DON'T BUY BATTERYS FROM CHINA

I just got mine yesterday, a 2700mah for $15.
So far I've left it running for 10 hours with light usage, and it is still at 80%. Very impressive. Seems to be lasting longer than my 2150 official HTC battery as well. Absolutely worth $15 with the back case.
I'm undervolted and overclocked on a rooted dinc, with a sleep profile in setcpu.

bhazard, mind linking us to the one you bought? some people are saying the batteries work okay in the first few days, then die after a week or so. can you comment on this?

Still working good after a week. Battery lasts a little longer than the official 2150. It is most likely 2300mah but still a great deal so far for the price.

any problems with using the LED flash on the camera since the new battery backing is so large?

I just got mine in the mail today. Got the 2600mah version. Gotta say this thing is just enormous. I checked on the flash and it didn't seem to be interfered with by the camera recession. But seriously... very thick.

Just a thought...
So instead of getting a 2600 that makes your phone overly huge, why not get the 2-1800MAH batteries with the separate charger they have on ebay? The batteries are for the EVO 4G, but at least you know they will last over a month and for two 1800 MAH batteries and the charger, it is only $24.95
Also, the 2600MAH one on some auctions on ebay are 11.95 with free shipping...so better than $16.00, I guess it's worth a shot if you want a huge a$$ phone!

It really isn't all that big, especially with the HTC back on it. It only slightly protrudes out of the silicone case that I cut to put it in, and after several weeks has held its charge better than the 2150 battery I have (same physical size). It lasts about 30 min to an hour longer. Very impressive for a $15 battery.

Is the battery the same size as the 2150 htc one bhaz? Just curious cause the phone does look huge with my 2600 hk battery and back. Considering the htc 2150 if its more stylish.

I got the battery on Saturday, I bought the 2600 MaH battery for 11.00 w/ free shipping. When the battery arrived, it actually said 300MaH. The first 4 days, the battery was amazing. I would unplug my phone at 8A and when I went to charge it overnightI would still have 30% left. My stock battery would need to be plugged in by 5P or it would die on me. The new battery I thought was great but after the 4th day, I noticed that the battery started draining quicker and quicker. It's 2:30P and my battery is at 40% already and it's just been sitting on my desk at work. I guess I got what I paid for. I contacted the seller and I'm waiting for a response from him. I might buy the HTC 2150 battery as that worked really well. I figured I could still use the Back cover that came with the ebay battery but use the better battery.

Just got my supposed 2700, yes, 2700, from a seller in usa for 25 bucks. We'll see how it lasts.

A few weeks ago, I bought a 2600 that had the fat door on it with speaker holes. On average for the first four days, the battery lasted a few hours longer than the 1750 Seidio and about 2X the 1300 stock.
About the fifth day in, the battery started declining in life and now lasts in between the stock and Seidio (more than stock, less than Seidio). Weird thing is the trend down has stopped and it remains a little weaker than the Seidio.
I expected the life to trend down "soon", but not days- I expected a few months of good use. Not even $13 worth use, now that I went back to the longer lasting 1750 Seidio. Fat door Inc would be fine, IF the battery lasts longer. Not in this case.

Thoughts on the Seido 1750mAh battery?

I'm sorry if there's a topic about it. I browsed for it, but the XDA app crashes whenever I try to search.
I'm considering ordering this battery. Had anyone had any good or bad experiences with it? I'm finding that the stock battery just isn't quite enough. Do you get the expected extra ~30% run time based on the capacity difference? Does it run too hot or anything? Thanks in advance for any input.

You can go on ebay and buy 2 or 3 1800 mah batteries for the same price as one 1750 seido... I know there is a chance the batteries will be **** but ive never had bad luck with them.

I love and swear by my 1750. You will get a lot of people in here saying it is crap, but I assure you it is not. If you want a battery to last the full day and not increase the size of your phone the 1750 is for you. I have had no issues with it getting to hot. Just a word for the wise....
When you get it follow the instructions. Let it charge for several hours after full charge. Im talking twelve hours or so if you can spare. You wont regret it.

I have the 1750 and it works great, does as advertised. Gets me through a day at 1.152 GHz of mid-heavy use, I'm not complaining

Thanks for the input. What do people say about it? Just that it's not worth the "premium" price a la the first post here?
EDIT: Also, I'd consider the larger extended batteries, but I use my phone as a GPS frequently and thus can't deal with an extended back.

It's nice to have but I've become so used to plugging up that I have a way/somewhere to charge almost everywhere I go anymore. It does allow me the luxury of being able to not plug up for longer.
I've started swapping out my 1750 for my stocker and letting them charge on my docking stations for a day or so...seems to help a little.

When I was looking for a replacement battery and searching the forums many different people claimed it didn't work as advertised. That it did not last any longer than the stock battery. In my experience this is not the case at all. Also the price is a little heavy but worth it to me at the time. I would check ebay for it now though.

1750 is an over priced, under performing piece of ****. Go on ebay and for $8.90 you can get a original HTC 1500.

Why would you say that? I've had the 1750 since a week after I got my DInc and it always over performs. I've had days where my phone was on for 26 hours with 20% left. The Sedio batteries are wwaaayy better than the crap HTC Taiwanese ones. Sedio is a Japanese cell. You pay for quality.

Advertising what? A good deal? I wasted my money on the 1750 so I would know. Why pay $40 for it when the HTC 1500 performs the same.
There's some spec sheets floating around that shows HTC batteries perform at their rated mah while seidios 1750 and 3500 fall short.
And here's that sheet:

I bought a 1750 for my Eris and use it with my Dinc without any problems.

I have one, and use it regularly. Its capacity is not staggering, but noticable over stock.

I have one and would recommend it. I compared it to my stock battery a while back, and found that it charges at about the same rate (in percentage, so it charges faster technically), gives 1 extra hour under full load, and 2-3 extra hours under mixed load.

See. I told you hater trolls would show up.

Bought both the 1750mah and the eBay OEM 1500mah from bidallies and love it. 15$ and lasts twice as long as that sedieo crap. Sold that thing after two months of use. Have since bought an extra 1500 as spare and bought several more for friends and family with the Inc.

Ive noticed mine lasts maybe an hour or 2 longer then the stock battery, not worth the price tag in my opinion.

rubbish, its good for the first month. after that it dies faster than the stock. get a hero battery and call it a day

I purchased an 1800mah battery from htcexpressdotcom for $20 and it works great. Same size as the stock 1300 too.

[Q]Extended Battery the size if OEM battery?

Like title says.. I've been trying to find a extended battery which has higher capacity yet the size of the original battery but no luck
Does anyone know if there is one and where to fine one
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

are you sure that's even possible ? unless the battery was made of some other kind of materials, I have tyrouble seeing how you could store more power in the same battery size.
If you don't want a bigger phone, Your best bet would probably be to buy a second standard battery but it's a hassle to swap the battery when it's empty

If the battery is the same size it could in theory have more juice but it would be negligible. Seriously though, I picked up a charging cradle with battery charging slot and 2 spare batteries for $20. I also have a car charger and 3 chargers in my house. Unless you get a battery that is about double the size, you won't see a big difference and even then many batteries don't live up to their specs. Chargers and spare batteries are cheap. We're not dealing with smartphones of a decade ago where everything was proprietary and would cost at least $30 a pop.

I remember reading something about this... I think it might have even been on this forum but it was something along the lines of "Don't you think, if it were possible to fit more juice into the same size battery, that samsung wouldn't do that with their OEM batteries?"
Samsung, and I'm sure many other major device manufacturers don't just buy a battery off ebay and throw it in their phones. they spend time and money researching better battery technologies to get the best power/life they can.

It's my second day with an Andida 1850mAh battery, no big changes yet compared to my 8 month old 1500mAh OEM battery, i'll post back after a few complete drain and charge cycles.

After 3 complete charge cycle its a little bit better than OEM but no big improvement. I'll see in a few more days.

I finally get about 15% better battery life. For the 20$ it cost me, I'm happy.

How long have you had the battery? I'm looking for a new one as well but not if I am going to get scammed. Thanks!

Not Nexus related, but I have a vibrant that I got the Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch battery for recently. Battery life went from about 6 hours to dead (month old 1500 mAh replacement battery bought at a phone hut) to 34 hours to dead (new samsung 1800mAh battery.) Nothing else changed.
My point is this:
1. If the above statements about samsung packing in as much as possible are true, why didn't the vibrant have a 1800mAh battery from the start? (hint, it is always about money.)
2. Take a crap 1500 mAh battery, slap a 1800 mAh sticker on it. People that buy these batteries will see an improvement because most generally they are replacing a worn out battery with a new one. Of course you will see an improvement, your worn out stock battery has only (arbitrary number) 600 mAh worth of usefulness left. The replacement is new and is not worn yet. (All arbitrary numbers follow) So, you will still see an improvement if you take a rated 1500mAh battery, that is labeled 1800mAh, but is in actuality only 1000mAh.
So asking if there is another, bigger, better battery for the Nexus made by Samsung, is a very valid question. So:

Because it is a device from 2 years ago (2010) and the S2 is from q3 2011. Maybe two years allowed them to cram more juice into the battery.
Maybe it wasn't viable then, to stick such a large battery, considering the power consumption of the vibrant compared to the S2. Maybe if they did the price would have gone up.
I highly doubt that Samsung would just stick different stickers on the same capacity batteries. maybe you had a defective or a non-original one. There are people that measure this kind of stuff. How much damage would Samsung's image suffer if someone found out that they sell a 1000 mAh battery with different labels and price tags?

I got a gold 2430 mah battery from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...093799?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5edcdce7
i don't know about it holding 2430mah, but it's far better than my 1 year old stock battery. i can post some battery usage stats later.

"Take a crap 1500 mAh battery" In this case "crap"="non oem"
I figured that would be obvious with my prior "phone hut" comment. I guess not.
----------------
I am a big fan of the OEM batteries. I have not tested a non-oem battery that will perform anywhere close to the stated specifications so far.
If you guys find some good battery reviews, tests, etc. please post up.
Keep in mind that comparing a brand new "Craptastic Brand™" battery to your old worn out OEM battery is kind of pointless for getting a feel of the comparative quality/capacity of a battery.

is there any difference in the actual battery life between the OEM and Anker?

With my settings running I am getting up to 30h of heavy use...
I don´t think that paying 45 USD is worth the additional 100mAh more but I might be wrong

I suppose it will be thicker than the stock. Anker did not offer any improvement in mAh, Mugen offers only +100mAh so I doubt that you can fit additional 1900mAh w/o making the battery thicker. 1-2 mm thicker battery won´t be much of a problem because you still could fit that battery under the plastic cover (tried it out). we´ll see I think, but I am not getting anything that makes my SGN2 any thicker as it is.
EDIT: there is a 4200mAh battery (I suppose total crap, just look at the price) available: http://www.eforchina.com/view/12921...attery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II---N7100.htm
With this I suppose a 5000mAh battery from Mugen should be possible w/o making it thicker than 1-2mm (lets hope "fingers crossed")

I'm patiently waiting for the Mugen "super" battery. LOL!
I've always had great results in the past, however I've always sacrificed the thinness of every phone I've owned. I guess that's the toss up.

I think that Samsung is improving their own batteries so there is less room for improvement with aftermarket. The Anker battery in my S2 was better than stock, but that wasn't the case with their S3 batteries. Either way, having a spare battery available is really really cool when your away from a charger

Do you use SetCPU, Android Tuner, Automate It, certain Memory management etc.?
Can you really feel the difference?
Is it worth the investment?
what about the mugen battery?

When you can get an Anker for $8.99, it's beyond me why some one would pay for an overpriced Mugen.

great price.. but i've never had Anker before.. how long do they last? Those cheap chinese batteries that I've had in the past (for my HD2 for example) lasts about 4-5 months and would refuse to charge after that. How is Anker?

You do realize its capacity is anywhere from 2500 mAh to 3100 mAh, not really 4000 mAh? It's physically impossible to fit bigger higher capacity cells into single OEM battery size. Typically these ebay batteries, like Golden 4200 mAh, are closer to 2500 mAh (I have tested a few), but from your screenshots and the fact it costs over $10 - I think its safe to assume it will be closer to OEM 3100 mAh. Just gotta watch out for any bulging which happens with these over time especially when you charge them at full 2A speed, and you probably going to notice performance to go down in about 3-4 months.
Sorry bro, didn't mean to rain on your parade. It's just a fact with these ebay batteries.

I bought tthis battery off eBay for $14.
I must say I am impressed.

Well it doesn' t seem much, if any, better than stock battery.

It is surely better than my stock battery. So it can't be less than 3100mah. Has to be higher.
It is not physically impossible. Not sure where you got that info from.
You didn't rain on my parade. I have results to prove it. My stock battery is now used as back. No use for it day to day now.
Only idiots buy golden battery lol.

Ooh, you just offended a bunch of people on this forum who got Golden batteries hoping they will get 4200 mAh for $6
Unless you have some latest ground breaking info about new development in battery cell density, Samsung used the highest density battery in their OEM footprint. It's a fact. The only way to maximize it was by doubling the size, thus all the reputable companies had double thickness/capacity with 6200 mAh batteries and Zerolemon had it at triple with 9300 mAh. The only company that was able to squeezed a bit more was Mugen who does their own development and was able to squeeze in 6400 mAh in double capacity.
To verify capacity of your battery, looking at performance with screen on time, etc is not accurate. Especially since you are comparing it to an original battery with aged performance. You need to get an external hardware battery tester where you charge the battery to a full capacity and let it discharge down to 2.4V cutoff voltage while monitoring the actual current drain over time to get the exact capacity in mAh.
Btw, just for sh!ts'n'giggles, take the label off your battery to see what is stamped in there as actual capacity

I dont need to get anything. ..
My real world usage proves this last longer than my stock battery. I bought this battery to use as a backup but now my stock battery is the backup.
Are you saying mu screenshots are fake?
Also if you're point was valid, aa batteries come in one size right?
Why are there 800mah, 1200mah and 1600mah aa batteries?
I am happy and surprised with my purchase. Doesn't matter what you might think. My screen shots prove it.

Chill bro, I'm not doubting your screenshots or your experience. As I said, it sounds like you probably got 3100 mAh battery. That's all. As someone who reviews a lot of accessories and gadgets on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333) and helps other members on this forum, I just want to be sure other people are not mislead by thinking they can get 4000 mAh battery because Note 2 battery with such capacity doesn't exist. Period. Neither does anything over 3200 mAh since I remember testing my Anker 3100 mAh to be slightly higher then stock capacity. The screenshots are real, I'm not doubting it, but that is call a "relative test" to another reference of someone else using stock capacity battery under different conditions with different setting and running different apps. We had people reporting poor performance with ZL 9300 mAh while the fact is they were comparing it to stock battery performance from 3-4 months ago when they had different setup with different apps, etc.
Just calm down, enjoy your battery, and spend a little bit of time reading this website with a lot of Note 2 battery reviews and explanation how they really being tested: http://www.batteryreview.info/

Ok just making sure you aren't hating lol.
I didnt say I believe it to be 4000mah. I just believe it is higher than 3100mah because it lasts longer.

We only got love on this forum

It lasts longer cause its a new 3100 that hasn't degraded like the one you are currently used to.

My stock battery has never lasted like this under my usage.

x3000
It's probly a case of new 3100MAH compared to your used original 3100MAH
Only new battery tech could squeeze juice more into the same physical battery.
New battery tech wouldn't be sold for $14. :good:
Anyway at $14 that's not bad. Let us know how it performs over time. Cheaper than buying an original Samsung 3100mah

Just got this
Just got this battery and managed to last over 7hrs of onscreen time doing mostly messaging, web browsing, watching videos off the microsd card and youtube.
Auto-brightness was set to about 30% (was more than sufficient for an overcast day and 8 hours in the office).
Had location services turned on, gmail and Exchange syncing. Also had music playing (Poweramp) for most of the work day.
Hope this helps any others looking to give this a try.
No idea if I will get this sort of screen time on the stock battery as I've only had a half day use of it (bought the phone used off ebay and got the extended battery at the same time).

I get these same stats on my stock battery. Running ADHD 18 with latest Perseus kernel

Im not impressed
As i can see your screen on time is just 4+ hours, i can say im getting somewhat 6-7 hours screen on time with my 7 months old stock sammy battery

As far as I'm aware the Mugen battery is the best available at 3200mah. The Anker one being a better value for money choic3 at slightly higher than stock.
I have no way of actually testing this though, but there's no way the OP's battery is anywhere near 4000mah.
On a similar note, does anyone know of any tools to accurately measure these battery capacities?

–edit sorry wrong link that was for testing cords not batteries

I see the reviews here are pretty old now.... so can anyone of you update the status of your battery performance now?

im sorry but i think zerolemon is better with 9300 if u dont mind the bulk
