there are a few ebay sellers who sell the genuine htc battery. just search for "genuine htc ba s520" on ebay. most are based in uk. all around 15 - 20 gbp.
you will find several chinese aftermarket batteries claiming higher capacity than the 1450mah of the genuine battery, but beware. none of them (i've tested a few) actually last longer than the htc battery, in my experience. and i don't know if the quality can be trusted. they do cost a lot less than the genuine battery so it is a cheaper option.
u can try dc mugen
I want higher capacity battery so that my phone last longer between charging.. not HTC ori battery with same capacity.. thanks ya..

If it would be possible to put more capacity in the same size battery HTC would have done that from the start, you're only option is to get one of those fat 3500mah batteries from ebay with a thicker battery cover, i'm thinking of getting one of those, unfortunatly i can't put a silicon case around the phone then ...
is anyone aware which is better battery among the custom makers ?
Will be great if that is available in India .
4000mAh Battery
Just bought one of those chinese 4000 mAh batteries on ebay.
The [email protected]#$%^ thing won't let me switch on mobile network (3G) ?????????!!
Real Handy.......wifi, bluetooth, gps all fine.
It may be an HTC issue, like Windows, doesn't like hardware changes, it may be the rear case,who knows?
It's a thumping big thing, twice the size, but I only get about another half a day.....Whooopeee.
Thankfully it was only about five bucks.
Anyone have a similar issue ?

SEIDIO SUPER EXTENDED LIFE BATTERY FOR HTC INCREDIBLE S
extended battery/door
Thanks mate, I'll take a look.
I've been using the previously mentioned Mugen 3700 mA extended battery (larger, yes, but I'm used to it already) for 2.5 weeks now.
I've completed calibrating and conditioning the battery thru the 5 discharge cycles as instructed, followed by some of the lore I've sifted from xda. It's been useful.
I used to charge in morning and had to be careful not to use my phone too much and need to charge again in one day if I used it a fair amount. My incS was used, so stock battery probably had wear.
Now I get two full days of moderate-somewhat heavy use, and very far into the 3rd day if I use it just for (many) texts and a few short calls and it sleeps half the time or more.
E.g., charged before bed, sat unplugged during sleep, heavy use today (gps for 30+ min, browsing, texts) and 71% capacity as of now.

Good try! how much it cost?
That's meant so far no identical battery with longer battery life (i.e. last 1 whole day for moderate to heavy use)? sigh...

Stick to genuine HTC batteries. Most of the Ebay fakes are far lower quality and often are mislabeled (especially if it claims higher capacity in the same form factor).
Your phone should last at least 24 hours on one charge though (unless you're using it very heavily). Try changing your habits a bit (turning off data/wifi when not using it) and also maybe try a battery calibration. If you do a battery calibration make sure you read a few guides on google and do it properly otherwise you will most likely be worse off.
Some aftermarket hi capacity battery need a special battery cover which makes it very ugly
I bought the 3500 mAh battery with fat back cover (from Ebay). Its a chinese ****s production... We know that on our IncS the antenna is placed inside of back cover. This chinese cover has some antenna as well, but the signal is much worse. For example with original cover I get like 4 full bars. With chinese ****s cover I get only 2-3 bars.
Im already having troubles with the signal in some places, but with this cover it will be even worse.. So I stay with my original HTC back cover. Dunno what to do with this 3500 battery..
why don't you buy another stock battery ?
i think stock one is gd enough.
I think that MUGEN 3600mAh is optimal high-capacity battery on the market. Its stable and reliable...

Has any1 tried using Seidio batteries for Incredible S?
Apparently, they claim to use Lithium Polymer technology as opposed to Lithium-ion.
Wikipedia says Polymer is superior to ion but also more expensive.
Only mobile manufacturer known to supply phones with Lithium Polymer batteries is Sony Ericsson.
Seido 3500mAH battery for HTC Incredible S is on eBay for $69. It says its assembled in Taiwan? Its also not as FAT as Mugen's but still needs a back door, which is included. They also have a website.
Mugen might have a new, superior competitor.

Please don't respond with a negative comment when you have no idea what quality Onite offers. I own both the n7000 and n7100 and with the original note I bought 2 Onite batteries with a charger. These batteries run just as good if not better. The weight on them were 1 gram heavier. The charger does take about 8 hours but the slower the better.
I'm now ordering 2 more of these with the charger for the n7100 off of Amazon for around 30. I will keep this thread alive with the results after I receive them Thursday.

Seems to be working fine. Doesn't add bulk to the phone and better yet doesn't require a new back door like most extended batteries. More power for my galaxy note II.

Uh... you respond to a negative commend with a negative comment, and that's ok? He's actually correct... Onite advertises a higher mAh rating and then under-performs.
It is YOU who doesn't know the quality that Onite offers. They run worse, if not the worst. And what does battery weight have to do with it?
Take a look, Onite saying it has 200 additional mAh, yet not performing as well as a smaller battery.

My apologies to DarthPiggie for the rude post earlier, but I still stand by my word on this battery. Do you have any previous experience with Onite? I only included weight on the battery, since I know some people are kind of weird about that and I happened to have a scale nearby.
Tonight was my first night I used the Onite from a full charge and this is what I have so far. I used ePSXe for the first 1.5 hours of screen time on the phone earlier tonight to see how fast I could get my battery to drain.
I have experience with Hyperion and it wasn't a good one. Both of their batteries contained less juice than the sick battery even though they advertised the same.
Add for Orion, I have never used them myself but I have read other user's experiences and Amazon customer reviews. In general they seem to also be inconsistent. Anker seems to have a much better reputation than the other manufacturers and they actually seem to know what they're doing.
I'm just imparting my collective advice.

I think a lot batteries are like used cars. Most run okay, some run great, and some are crap from the get go. I know on the original note I bought one of the gold extended batteries and I had a very good experience with it while others did not. I may pick up these 2 with the charger.
I literally bought a 2430 mah gold battery for my Iphone 3gs 32gb to use as an ipod for the gym and it burned my board up after noticing the battery never turning the phone on and thus getting extremely hot. I test my voltages of each battery when I get them fully charged to make sure they are at what they are rated. You should peel the sticker off on that gold battery to reveal the truth.
Also, running a program to kill off every task that isn't needed when your screen is off greatly helps your battery life too.

Yeah when you take the screen and logic board out of the 3gs. It's not swappable but like any other piece of electronics, it's changeable.
Killing apps actually wastes more battery because the operating system has to repopulate memory with apps. You are effectively adding unnecessary overhead to the OS. This phone has 2GB of RAM. It is not going to run out of memory like that. Android manages apps very efficiently now anyways. Take this from a software engineer: you're better off without the app killers.

I think you are misunderstanding my use of it. I am not worried one bit about ram, it's actually 1.75gb usable. I have it killing the tasks that open and keep running in the background. For example, even if you close Facebook, you would have to go into the settings of it and logout to fully keep the app from running in the background.
Do you ever hold the home button down to go into the task manager to clear the ram out?
I am on the 4th charge cycle of this Onite battery that I bought. For me it has worked out quite well.
I have had very pleasing results as well and even more happy always having 2 batteries charged to pop right in. I picked up the 6500mah extended battery by Onite as well and haven't had the time yet to run a few discharges but to a bit of a surprise it included NFC. I can confirm from 2 batteries on the n7000 and n7100 each that Onite is a reputable brand not to look past at.

Yes I do, it's right here I suggest getting the 2 batteries, since it's only $6 more. The charge is pretty flimsy for the note 2. It sits in horizontally and these plastic tabs broke on me to keep it to the charging terminal, rubber band is a simple fix.
Note that the charger is .35A so if the battery really is 3500mah then it will take 10 hours.

Probably less of mAh rating if you peel it back but to be honest isnt too bad to try out but i'd rather buy the Anker 3100.
What do you guys think?

You really think a non brand item would have that much capacity? Doubling the battery would make it 6200 (if it was linear) and to think you want to put a non branded 7600 mah battery in a $700 phone? No thanks.
I purchased the Onite extended battery, for the n7100. It adds some serious bulk, but at the expense of nearly doubling your battery life.
Only consider buying items that have reviews on them.
is everybody here an expert on batteries now. I have bought no name batteries from the past for my touch pro, tp2, evo 4g, evo3d, sg2, and now the note 2. They all work the same, if not better. they are cheap and about 1/3 to 1/4 of the price. I bought this one exactly and the battery life is awsome.
I picked up an extra stock battery lg tones and the all share cast thingy last week with sprint's 30% off accessories sale. Have yet to actually need the battery. But comforting to know it is there

What? 7600 mah? this is just stupid. I'm sorry, but someone's got to say it. I see no logic behind this other than an ironic gimmick. Only for extremely specific uses would this make sense. If you plan on going long periods of time without charging, why can't you just buy 2 standard size batteries of superior quality and performance? Is it really that hard to shut off your phone and plug the new one in? Also, if you buy multiple standard batteries, your case will actually fit. And there's no way this thing is 7600 mah. And if it is, it is terrible quality. Just wanted to point out that this battery is twice the size of the original 7 inch galaxy tab's and more than 8 times the size of the 4th generation ipod touch's. lol

Its probably really a 3 cell battery wrapped in one probably 1500 or 1800mAh. So basically it can range from 4500mAh to 5400mAh. Anyways I understand your point but it does have its use where if you can't turn your phone off its goo for those who are on call. Or don't want to swap simple as that just like any extended battery's purpose.

Yeah, reading my post again I think I was a little too critical. I find this thing absurd, but to each their own.
Many off brand batteries make wild and excessive amp/hour claims they cannot possibly meet. The threads on xda documenting this behavior has been numerous and thorough. This strikes many as disingenuous and it has not been conducive to building customer trust.
That said, some of them do offer real value and the better known ones seem to be stable and safe. So, as long as you are aware that the offbrand battery is very likely to not match oem, it will give you the battery swap ability that we have all come to love in our Samsung devices. The prices are typically so low that in real economic terms they can be a better value. I've owned them all and have come to prefer oem, but not enough to dissuaded others from that
Sony Ericsson, Htc Kaiser, Samsung Captivate, Note I, Note II
Im using Note II LTE 7105.
I wish to ask is N7100 using the same battery as N7105? well because i have bought a battery from ebay
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/GOLD-4500...ht_2519wt_1139
and when i tell them im using Note II 7105 LTE, they reply me with this
"We understand that you would like to know if there's an issue with the battery because you purchased a N7100 battery where in fact your using N7105 LTE version.
The battery you purchased is compatible only for Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 not for N7105 LTE version.
May I know how do ou want to proceed with the transaction?"
Now this freaks me out. Can i confirm with you guys if the battery im purchasing from this e cell, is it usable?
interesting.....
As far as I know, it would be compatible.
called up some phone shop and they mentioned they (N7100 & N7105) ARE using the same battery. the ebay guy gaves me the impression that my phone will explode. lol
good thing is battery thickness is the same. 4500mah should be decent enough for that price though...

With the galaxy note 1 you could buy a certain gold battery that was rated at 3250mAh. I'm not sure if it's that high but certainly after 6 months use between the two I can say it gives an extra 10% any least. This would work with the original back door.

Check out post #9. Gold batteries are such a scam it's ridiculous how they are still selling as they are. Anker, Onite, Q cell and Hyperion all make aftermarket batteries. They are all rated around the same as a stock battery. You are best off purchasing an additional battery to keep on a swappable cycle.
I'd also like to see some legit slim-sized batteries for the Note II that are ACTUALLY a few hundred mAh more.

I understand the idea of swapping batteries or carrying around an extra, effectively doubling your battery life. For me I'd like slightly higher capacity while keeping the same form factor. One of the points of a higher capacity is to eliminate the carrying of another battery. IMO its just another thing to think about and check for when I leave my home. That's just my 2 cents. As for the actual question, all I've been able to find is the 3950 mah battery from ebay which has already been reviewed and is actually similar to the oem.
In Germany the company "Akku-King" is selling a 3300mAh normal size battery for around 15€.
I got a 3200mAh Extended Battery for my galaxy s2 from their shop and it's working really great!

I will attest that Anker makes excellent batteries. I had 2 of them as swappable spares for my Mytouch 3G Slide and they were rated about 200 mA higher. They worked far better than the OEM battery did. I would avoid using my original battery.
Got a G2x later on and that thing killed batteries. I tried a few differ brand batteries and ultimately coughed up the extra money to get an Anker battery. Was the only battery that wouldn't be destroyed by my G2x.
If Anker comes out with a higher capacity slim battery, I'll definitely be buying.
Last thing, I also have an external battery pack for charging on the go, also made by Anker. No complaints at all with that product either!

Don't you think a corporation like Samsung, with the amount of money they have, would put in the largest and highest capacity battery that they can make?
Either way, get another spare battery or go with an extended. At best, you will have the same battery life with an aftermarket. Again, at best.
I would add in Pisen who also make great batteries - from experience, and reviews. They currently have the same rated mah as the oem and I'm waiting for a higher rated one from them, or either of the mentioned 3rd parties.

/\this right here. Batteries are the single biggest limiting factor in phone and is also the slowest evolving technology. Battery technology isn't like the rest of the technology in where something better always right around the corner. To my understanding the wall battery tech has hit is the cost to produce a better lithium battery is way to high.

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.

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
