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.
New Extended Battery "possibly" 3'500 mAh + External Charger - "Update 10.16.2011"
Just recieved my new extended battery with extended back door for my Milestone 1. Bought it from here:
www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180686832371&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:1123
It took a good month to arrive from china to europe, but it's finally here.
It weighs 47 gramms vs 27 gr for the standard BP6X and is twice as thick.
Can't say much about the accuracy of the amperage as I just fully recharged it with the external charger I ordered from here:
www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250859367106&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:1123
As you can see it's quite cheap and although ordered on the same day as the battery, it arrived 3 weeks before..! (About 10 days after my order). It's working very good and sports also a usb port (5.2 Volts and 800 mA output) at the end for standard charging. I haven't tried yet which of the battery or the device will be charged first, though. Will report about it later.
I'll also report about real life battery time in a few days, after testing.
I'm still very happy with my good ol' milestone 1 (european droid 1), and although it's a little short on memory, latest CM 7.1 developpements make it very fast and usable.
Edit: Just tried to charge through the usb port of the charger, it doesn't work. I guess 800 mA is not enough, had the same issue with other car/home chargers. I think motorola's ones have 1A output. Even my Galaxy Tab's isn't powerfull enough... What a Milestone Beast!
Edit 2: Battery has reach 10% after 31 hours of standard use. As I though, real intensity most be around 2800 mAh and not 3500 mAh as stated. But it's still around 2x what we can expect from the original one. I run my Milestone on CM7.1 ROM and 1800MHz network.
Edit 3: I'm experiencing the "1% battery left" effect of some other devices' extended batteries for about 9 hours now! So until now It's been working for more than 40h. I tried to switch the phone of and back on again, but still 1% left and red led blinking (on some devices it makes it measure the value of the second cell, I guess, and brings it back to about 90%. Don't ask me why... It happens on my Dell Streak 5). I hadn't had this with my Xperia X10, where the energy left of my extended battery was accurate.
Final edit: worked for a good 48 hours. I must add that I put my phone during night time in Airplane mode (about 16 hours, but with some wifi surfing).

which charger do u use for charging the new battery through ur device's standardnusb port?
I charged it first with the external charger, as I think it's the best way to be sure that the whole battery is thouroughly and fully charged. But since first charge I also recharged it through the device's microusb port, which seems to work fine.
Since my first post, I also recieved my second extended battery:
www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190572457987&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:1123
It looks almost the same as the first one, except the font used on the sticker is smaller and the price is cheaper.
I'm testing its power time right now, expecting it to be close to the one of its siebling.
I had also ordered a standard sized 1870 mAh battery from here:
www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150585920125&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CH:1123
Problem with this one is it doesn't show battery status on the phone, as the mAh level can't be determinated by the phone. Will check with the seller what can be done (problem only with my battery?)
I saw another standard 1800 mAh battery for sale ($ 10.-), maybe will give it a try, seller seems more serious.

Some updates about my second extended battery: I now have had a full discharging/charging cycle (in the phone itself) and it seems that the battery is now calibrated. My updated "Battery Monitor Widget" shows me now 2885 mAh for the full capacity and the phone gives apparently the right power status. Real life use time seems the same as my first extended battery, about 48 hours.

How can you even put your Milestone in your pocket?? The battery door looks HUGE
Right now I'm using this battery:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130579480018&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:1123
it has cca 80% of the original battery capacity, however it is much better then the other chinese battery I've owned in milestone, (I think) it supports the 1% mod, and it did cost me $1.89 delivered to my place.
I always take the old original battery and the dying chinese battery in my bag in case this new dies. I will get probably the same power-on hours count as with this extended battery yet with smaller package.
I just order one like this... thank's for the review

Yes, please do post some updates and reviews.
I am only aware of 3300mAh [HLI-A855XL] by Mugen for Motorola Milestone which have good reviews.
it works fine
Is 1500 Mah battery the highest capacity for galaxy mini? And is it able to last the whole day?

No, 1500 mAh battery is not the highest for Galaxy Mini.
You can get a 1900 mAh and 2430 mAh battery from ebay.
I havent tried it myself but according to many other users it does actually prolong battery life and performance.
The time that the battery lasts is according to your period of usage and type of usage.
If you use your battery for navigation(GPS) or gaming any battery may well get over in half a day(if you use it continuously).
I bought 2430 mAh battery from eBay and it's absolutely useless, lasts the same of even less than the original.
It's not the highest one, maybe the most stable if u want to upgrade your battery. But be careful for buying that coz almost of them is fake

hey Guys, I have seen mixed reviews about batteries.
I currently use the stock battery, and with normal use (wifi/4g) I can get 16 to 18 hours. Recently, the battery jumps from 50 to 30%, or 30 to 10%. So I have decided to replace it.
Stock battery is $19.99 now on VZW.
I see the Mugen battery is 2000mah and will fit under the standard cover. but is $42 bucks on amazon. I saw on some reviews where people went from 12 hours to 16...roughly a 30% increase.
Is this true? I like havign the slim size....stock battery numbers were ok for me, not that annoying....does the battery itself really give those kinds of increases?
I had a 4000 mah mugen 3.7v battery on my droid x2. Cost me $85, but worth the money. I got 18 hours on heavy use, and 31 hours just having the phone sit without using it.

I ordered the OEM extended battery. OEM Moto quality, cases available for it and it still fits in the docks. I don't trust aftermarket battery makers just like I don't trust a non-OEM charger.
I want to save people here some time and money and let them know those "Gold" slim extended batteries you see on Ebay have false and misleading capacities. The stock battery that comes with the Galaxy Note 2 has a 3100 mAh capacity. There are many "Gold" slim batteries on Ebay claiming to have 3800/3850/4000/4150/4200+ mAh capacities in the same size as the stock Note 2 battery.
This is a lie. I got one of those 4200 mAh "Gold" slim batteries from an Ebay seller in the States with a 99.7+% reputation with tens of thousands of previous sales. It also costed me $20 because I thought that it could be legit. You can get these same batteries from other sellers for as little as $10 each.
From doing previous web page battery draining with the stock Galaxy Note 2 battery, I know that I can get about 1.5 hours per 10% charge using Opera Mobile on wifi and with the brightness turned all the way down. With this 4200 mAh "Gold" slim battery, there was no difference in performance. I still only got 1.5 hours per 10% charge even though the "Gold" battery is suppose to have a 35% greater capacity.
I'm tempted to peel the "Gold" label off this battery and see what is really underneath.
In conclusion, don't believe any of those "Gold" battery claims. Don't buy them. Stick with stock Samsung batteries.

Enough said.
