Anyone here using a battery with the stock battery dimensions but higher mah? I'm wanting to buy one, just wondering what you guys have and how it's holding up. Thanks in advance

I got one of these anker 3100 mah batteries that I swear lasts longer then stock samsung 3100mah. Heres a link to a review vectron did on it, I dont trust too many other brands when they say it has higher than stock 3100 but anker has made me a believer. (Zerolemon as well but thats another topic )

It's probably because the battery is newer than your stock one, they lose efficiency overtime.
There's no battery that's stock size with a higher mah OP.

Anker does make excellent batteries! I have about 6 of their batteries for my Evo 3D, and those have a higher mah but are the same size as factory. They definitely last much longer than stock! Actually my sister and brother in law are still using their Evo 3Ds as their primary mobile phones (upgrading next week) and they also bought some Anker batteries after hearing me go on about how happy I was with them. I do agree with the above post though, it probably does last longer simply because it's newer. I'm a firm believer that Anker's mah ratings are very accurate, and if it was truly a higher mah then it would be marked as so. Why not too, as they'd sell more if it truly was a higher mah than stock yet still the same size. Either way, I appreciate your reply and willingness to help out!

I've seen quite a few on eBay, but wanted to know if anyone in here had tried them. Don't wanna buy one if it isn't truly a higher mah, as I've never heard of the battery manufacturers who make them. If they were made by Anker or another battery manufacturer that I've heard of, then I would have already ordered. Guess I'll just buy a 3rd OEM Samsung battery then. Thanks for the reply!

It isn't. Just as josh said it's not possible to put higher mAh battery in the same footprint as the stock battery without a evolution in battery technology, which is a few years away.

Well Anker somehow managed to make their Evo 3D batteries last a few hours longer than the stock battery. Not just me saying that either. If you check out the Evo 3D section (haven't been there in over a year, so don't know how deep the thread is buried by now), you'll see many users praising the Anker batteries.
Not saying that your info is false, just saying Anker was able to. Guess it's possible that HTC just didn't use all of the battery space that they had available, and Anker did? Don't know much about that technology, just that Anker definitely beat the stock HTC Evo 3D battery!

Stay away from eBay batteries. All the "gold" 4200 mAh are actually 2000 mAh. Other ones either close to 3k mAh or below. Anker and Hyperion are the only replacement brands I trust, with preference toward Anker. Been using their 3100 mAh replacement for awhile and it still performs better than oem.

There's been a lot of other phones that have eventually had aftermarket batteries which did have a higher mah in the same footprint; especially a couple years ago.
Unfortunately now though it seems lithium ion manufacturing has reached its full potential and we're pretty much at a standstill in the evolution of consumer battery technology until a more efficient material or process is stable enough for mass consumption.
The race to figure out what's the overall best solution in terms of cost, stability, and efficiency is actually very interesting to follow. There's a lot of research going on from a lot of different players with tons of different ideas right now. If it comes down to a certain lab or company that can really implement the best balance of those main factors they stand to make a ton of money from the IP.

If they're actually the same mah, then EVERY phone manufacturer should be paying Anker to dollar to make batteries for them!! There batteries will last close to twice as long as the factory HTC battery!! If it was an hour or two then no biggie, but the Anker's put the HTC's to shame!!
Sent from my White Sprint Note 2 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
FYI, Anker does NOT manufacturer their products. They find China suppliers, test their products to make sure it performs as expected and meet all the requirements, buy them in bulk, and test every single product before they sell it. That is how they can keep the price low (cost saving of not having to actually design the product) and being able to offer 18-month warranty on every product because they test everything. They put a lot of work into choosing and testing these products (check out ianker.com or some of my reviews of their other stuff), and re-brand it with their name. Similar to what Monoprice starting to do lately, trying to widespread into other product lines outside of cables.

There's a lot that could explain that. The 3d is old in tech time I think my Gnex was newer and even Samsung themselves came out with a replacement battery after its release that packed almost 25% more mah in the same size cavity. So your anker could very well have more mah. Should it say on both batteries look at them.
Besides that I think HTC used to use nicad batteries until they switched to all unibody designs; maybe the anker is lithium.
And of course batteries suffer from a capacity attrition through charge cycles.

I completely agree with what you said!! The batteries do in fact say that they have more mah. By lasting almost twice as long as the factory HTC battery, that leads me to believe that they actually do in fact have more mah while being the same physical size. I am just surprised, as it's new info to me, that no battery that is the same physical size as the factory battery can actually have more mah. That's what others were saying and I've never heard that before anywhere, so that's totally new info to me. I understand that this may very well be the case in some scenarios, but not every scenario.....
Also, I'm not comparing a used HTC battery to a new Anker battery. I've compared new HTC batteries to new Anker batteries.

Well anker has proven to be a reputable company; if they listed a higher capacity I don't think anyone here would doubt them.
It's just that we're discussing this in the note 2 forum, and for the note 2 we've all learned there is no aftermarket battery that is stock size and actually has more mah.
There's only one company, called Gold, that advertises a higher than stock mah in the same size. It's been proven to be a scam.
So depending on the device, aftermarket stock size batteries can have higher mah. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it), this is not the case with this particular device.

Correct. I got with Mugen guys into a heated argument on this forum. They pretty much came forward explaining the reason why their battery cost so much because of the original development cost and international support. I still don't justify that as a reason to charge $105 for 6400 mAh ext battery when Anker and Hyperion were charging $20 for 6200 mAh, but it's a different discussion...

Ok, cool. I guess I misinterpreted the replies then. I thought the replies were saying that no aftermarket battery that is the same physical size as a factory battery could have more mah. If they were referring to the Note 2 specifically, then that is totally understandable! I just read/took it wrong. I know we're in the Note 2 accessories forums, just thought the replies wouldn't have been as vague, that's all. Thanks for your clarification though man!!

Like everything else they make it's probably not...
Is it true the samsung 1440mAh is better than the 1600mAH or even out stock batteries? I read that it was even though i dont see how it could be.
I doubt that the 1440 mAh is better than the 1750 mAh. I think I'll get this slim extended battery! It's as much as the regular OEM, which is I think the 1600 mAh. But I'm contemplating if the 3300 mAh (bulky but with backdoor) would be better considering the price is too much? http://www.mythoslife.com/2011/04/nexus-s-now-has-extended-battery.html. Then, again, if you're a power user then it might be worth it.
interesting...
Like stated before, it probably isn't 1750. They ramp up the number to get more sales and usually worse than the stock 1440mah.
I'd rather get the Seidio 1750 mAh slim extended battery. It'll probably last better compared to the one from eBay. http://mythoslife-store.blogspot.com/2011/05/looking-for-extended-slim-battery-for.html.
Seidio had the same battery up a few months ago and had it labeled as 1600mah.

Great, you'll never know what you buy these days on eBay. Did you say that Seidio is the same way? My perception of this company is that their products are hight quality.
I'm not saying seidio is the same way... when the nexus s was released they had the same exact battery and description but 1600mah. Now it looks like they bumped it. I don't want to knock it until I try it. I'm not sure who to trust...

My NS4G came with the Samsung 1440mAH battery. It lasts me all day even if I use it moderately. I am looking at buying an extra Samsung battery and a battery charger so I can have a charged spare battery for those heavy usage days.
2 the guy selling the 2 extra batteries and the charger, I may be interested. The only reason I haven't bought them from ebay yet is I don't want to wait all that time for shipping from China.

but there is a general rule that says.
if its more MAH than stock battery,but do has the same size as Stock battery.its fake.
more MAH meens Bigger battery to actually make it work.

Increased mah doesn't always = larger battery. OEMs are notorious for skimping on batteries. Sure.there are limits in package size but OEMs rarely ever reach the full cell size. There's a reason Samsung has multiple mah batteries of the same outer packaging size. Hell, I have about 3 different nexus one batteries of different capacity that all fit with the standard backplate. The N1's battery drivers were written into some kernels and you can read (even alter) the battery controller's register values in real time.
Have used Anker for a while now and I hope they make one for the Note II.
Mine will be here today. Had decent experiences in the past with anker.

OEM is 3100mah which is the same as the anker (supposedly)
anyways, just bought the 2x battery + charger combo since don't have a charger for the Note 2 batteries and that's like $4 alone on ebay anyways.
is there any difference in the actual battery life between the OEM and Anker?
There is a MUGEN battery that is 100mAh bigger (therefore providing approx. 3% longer use of out SGN2:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100.html
to be honest, I´ll stay with the stock battery and just optimize my phone with android tuner / Automate It Pro and other tools to get more than 3% additional time... At this moment I am getting 1 full day (18h-19h) of very heavy use with WiFi and 3G on w/o any optimization.
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 have contacted MUGEN a few days ago and this is what I've got as a reply:
"Thank you for your email!
Yes, we will have 5000+mAh battery for Note 2 at December."
So this might be a good thing, I just hope that it will not be bigger in thickness, maybe they can figure out how to make it the same size, but i highly doubt it unfortunately

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

Exceeded in minutes? hours? days?
Little / medium / heavy usage?
Can it be done better by software solutions and/or combined with them?
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?

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?
My battery is only 1850mAh. :'(

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

I've been using this battery for the last two weeks or so, and it's been good as gold. Not wholly convinced about the 7600 rating though, but it still lasts about twice as long as the stock battery.

For all you people that say a non brand battery sucks are blow up your an idiot. I run anker in my Samsung Epic 4G and NS4G and both are better than OEM. Im going to attach some pictures. Screenies will be from my Epic 4G. 1800 mAh Anker battery.

Onite is a non branded battery as well its a low brand that's not really popular. Anker is popular as well as good performance as well as cutted price compare to seidio or Mugen which aren't up to par.

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...

I know the note 2 had a decent battery life, but why not strive for better?
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.
I can't see a post relating to another battery of that type here, does one exist?

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.

I bought an Anker for my Note I & II and I did notice a difference that was enough for me not to put the stock Samsung battery back in. I don't have hard factual evidence of this but I thought that I should mention it.
Got myself a 20000 mah power bank from eBay.
Got it charged and it took almost 18 hours for a full charge. I still haven't got a chance to use it to the fullest. I have charged my phone once and I haven't noticed much decrease in the power bank.

Yep, Anker makes a fantastic Astro series of external battery packs. The problem, once you get into a higher capacity ones - they become heavy and bulky to carry around. If you are away from a power source for awhile, it's great to keep 8k/10k/20k mAh power station for charging overnight. But for a portable use without carrying bulk/weight and extra wires - Astro Slim would be the way to go, thought those are in 3k-4k mAh capacity range.

It does feel a bit bulky though at 250 gms. I travel a lot in buses and trains. And not all buses have charging points. Trains do have but I'll be lucky to get a seat next to a charging point. Will be lugging it along and checking out it's charge holding capacity for the next few months. Seller has given me a 3 months warranty, being a Chinese make. They say they can't afford to give a 1 year warranty since sending this product all the way to China for replacement doesn't make much sense.

Ah... I wish I'd seen it earlier. Then again the problem is the seller doesn't ship to India. Even if he had, shipping charges would be around $20 by UPS. And last I heard they don't ship anything with a battery in it.
Good find though. I'd be quite happy if this thing can last me just 18 months.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
if its $21.99 let me be very clear on this
IT IS VERY LIKELY NO 20,000 MAH !!!
I seriously question if that battery is even 10,000 mah maybe 12,000 (and even then it won't be $22)
be very careful. on a lot of things like this they flat out LIE about actual capacity.
has anyone actually tested capacity in one of these? how many charges did you get and from "what level" if discharge on your phone?
2 charges from say 50% taking it down to 75% is not saying a lot for its capacity
No argument about it. At this price, I would consider capacity to be over exaggerated. But so does all other no-brand external battery banks. So relatively speaking this one has the highest capacity And it's pretty heavy, so it kind of justifies more cells. I just provided link, can't speak from a personal experience since I don't have one. But even with brand names, I wouldn't trust too many companies except for Anker, Seidio, and Mugen and few others.
it takes 18hrs to charger and not chage full ,how come like that ?Do it have 2.1A or 2A usb charging port ?Try to charge faster.

But you are talking about quality brand name 16k mAh battery purchased from reputable AT&T store, not cheap part from ebay with a questionable capacity label and quality I just got Astro 3E from Anker, 10k mAh capacity. Will review it in a day or two. Between Anker and New Trent I'm amazed how they are able to have such a compact and pocket friendly quality designs with 4.5k, 7k, and 10k capacities. And those actually deliver as they state, either 1+ charge or 2+ charge or 3 charges according to total rating.

Well, u have to consider the price factor also. Then again, if you'd like to get an all day battery from your phone, it's better you buy the 3100 mah battery with flip cover that you can just put in your phone..no hassles for cable and lugging around the battery pack.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using Tapatalk 2
Battery with flip covers are not good I don't even think they go in capacity above 4500 mAh because it has to be thin. Plus, their charging supply is only 500 mA which is going to take you FOREVER to charge up the battery. Just factor in that 2A wall charger gets your battery full in 2-3 hours, while 500mA will take at least 4 times that long. And the biggest factor - you guys have to realize that actual capacity of ANY external battery will be 30% lower than it's label. You loose a lot of energy during the conversion due to efficiency of the electronics, thus at least 30% will be lost. Now, if you are dealing with HK no-name batteries - they have another 30%-40% label mark up just to make it look good.
I got the same battery for rupees 1350 (25$). Haven't tried it out yet. Will do.
