Hey everyone! I asked Mugen if they're going to make any extended batteries for the SGS2! Guess what?:
Look at my attachment They said yes!
I've been a big supporter of Mugen, they've made some WONDERFUL batteries for my older devices (blackberries mostly), and I certainly hope to get an OEM sized (20% more powerful) mugen battery in my device.
Will you guys?

Had one of their batteries on my previous phone.
3400mAh... though it was quite bulky. What id really like if they would develop a battery which is wider above the battery compartment.

Samsung makes that, as well: http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/sho...ective-case-extended-battery-power-pack-combo
Which I might get as well. It all depends. I'm waiting this week to get mine SGS2, most people say it's OK. While others moan about its horrible battery life. So I'm not sure. I'll test it out and see. Regardless, I will get the mugen one that fits OEM. And if it's too little as well, maybe the case. All I know, is that I'm already in love with the SGS2
If they would be able to make 2500mAh batteries with the same thickness as the original, I would be happy

Well, they can't do that, maybe 1850, 1900 mAh tops.
What I was thinking off was a battery which is a cover at the same time. A bit like the batteries on the nokia 6210 and 6310i of long ago. You could get those from Nokia in the 'small', normal, and 'large' variants.
The SGS2 and battery construction allows for this. I.E. a battery that 'snaps' on and is the same height as the thicker part of the telephone on the bottom. Such a battery if constructed properly should easily be able to hold +/- 4000mAh while adding little to the overal phone thickness.
anything over 30% more power as the same original size i think its worth change anything under that change my vote to from YES to NOOOOOOO WAY.

Easily 4,000? I don't think so. You're talking about the actual battery + a few more mm for the top. Now, the rest of the body will be the same thickness of the same cover, right? Then that'll make it impossible to construct any usable MAH into that! So we'll get around 2,000 mah. Which by my standards is just frikken fantastic! I'd buy that in a second
I would highly recommend all of you to take a look at this page:
http://batteryboss.org/
The findings are pretty clear; 3rd party batteries _never_ hold up to their supposed mAh-rating.
If there was a way to make a battery of the same size larger capacity why wouldn't Samsung have done it? Battery capacity is a _huge_ selling point for mobiles, Samsung has truckloads of money and huge departements doing R&D. The same can also be said for all the other big manufacturers.
But lo and behold, time and time again some rather small battery making companies release 3rd party batteries that offers upto 30% increase in capacity at the same size as the OEM batteries, it's just amazing!
One thing is oversized batteries giving you some more juice for your phone (not exactly what it says on the box there either...), but never take a 3rd party's word for it if they say they can cram more capacity into a same-size battery than the original. More often than not they have lower capacity than the OEM batteries despite being rated much higher.
Those are awesome news!
I hope they release it soon!
My experience with the 3200mAh extended battery for SGS was excellent!
I wish they released a smaller one of about 2500mAh of capacity for SGS II, that would be astonishing!
Either way I am looking forward!

You obviously never bought or used a geninue Mugen brand battery before then. They're probably the only company that doesn't make ridiculous claims about battery life.
And just because the manufacturer doesn't squeeze more power into their batteries doesn't necessarily mean it can't be done. They do have cost considerations and a profit margin to think about after all.
EDIT: I expect Mugen's OEM size battery to probably be around 1750-1800mah, or about 10% more capacity than the Samsung one.

Just to clarify, it's not always OEM size. It could be a tiny bit larger, but still fits in the OEM slot. That has been the case with all my blackberry batteries. Why my trusty OEM batteries fit comfortably, the mugens still fit well, but are a little bit tighter. So that DOES justify an increase in mAh.
I have also tried non-mugen / seidio and OEM batteries, and those are ALWAYS crap! Capacity usually drops after 2 weeks or even less sometimes. They're horrible. But mugen has always made great batteries (at least in my case) and I would highly recommend them to anyone Seidio ... meh... Not so much! Because they're REALLY over priced haha.

You quoted one sentence and didn't bother to look at the link I posted?
Let me paste it here then (first mAh rating is what they claim, 2nd is actual mAh rating):
TP2 Mugen 1800mAh 1414mAh 79%
TP2 Mugen, exchanged 1800mAh 1256mAh 70%
Hero, Mugen, oversized 3200mAh 2396mAh 75%
And to add some OEM batteries:
TP2 OEM standard issue 1500mAh 1414mAh 94%
Nexus One, OEM 1400mAh 1357mAh 97%
TP2 OEM, new 2150mAh 2150mAh 100%
What tests have you done that proves Mugen's claims are true? Oh really, you didn't do any except anecdotal ones about your own use?
If people want to spend money on batteries with supposed higher capacity, good for them. But us rational people at least won't have to
I had a bad experience with a mugen battery. Bought it, charged it, used it for one time and it crapped out on the second charge. Dead.
Called and emailed for support and they wanted me to send it back, plus tracking, I wasn't going to pay more.
Basically I threw it out. My loss. But I would never by a battery from them again. It looks like cheap stuff of ebay anyways.
Maybe you'll have better luck though.

True, I was feeling a bit lazy yesterday
Interesting link. Yes, my last Mugen experience was anecdotal (Xperia X1), but if my extended battery had really only lasted ~70% of claimed capacity I would've noticed (plus there would be more people complaining in the forums).
Guess they need to tighten their QC then.

was looking forward to a plausible 1800mAh standard size battery from mugen... 1700mAh is barely any jump and in all seriousness would have the same or even lesser battery life than the original one.

Here's two batteries from Mugen Powers, a 1800mAh and 3600 mAh. From my understanding, The 1800mAh will work with the original stock battery cover. And of course the 3600mAh, has the bulkier build. Here's some links for those interested.

Let us know how it works out. I'm curious if there are any heat issues associated with the larger-capacity battery.
I just bought the 1800mAh, but it will be shipped in 10 days and will take 10 more to arrive!
anybody got a 1800mah one yet? thinking of getting one but im not sure they are worth it, has anyone had a battery from these guys before?
Mugen is one of the best second party manufacturer for batteries! It's really quality, no Hongkong Crap.
Interesting, Ive always wondered about suposedly good aftermarket batteries. ....Mugen you say !
OEM batteries is the only option unless the battery is inbuilt. Why are people so gullible? The manufactures always uses the best cells for their phones as it is part of the features present, i.e. long talk/standby time.
I have a HD2 and bought two original batteries which were not from Ebay.

maybe its because the people who know they are no good are so patronising when they are saying such. Not everyone has knowledge of these things and not everyone has had experience of this before but thats no reason to talk down to them. Its logical that these batteries should be better, after all they are rated 400mah higher, if thats not the case then you cannot blame the person who buys it thinking it is.
After market batteries is not a new phenomena and people buying such batteries should have learned by others which have made those mistakes before. It does not matter if it says Mugen or whatever on the battery.
I bought a battery for SE P1 on Ebay for 3 GBP and the picture was showing the retail package. When I received the package it was a "Walkman" branded when P1 is a business phone. I filled a complaint and received my money back. I would never do it without PayPal covering the full amount. I knew it from the beginning, if it sounds to good to be true it is not.

no, but what about somebody doesnt know anything about battery tech, or somebody who simply bought their phone from and o2 shop and has never had experience of other people buying aftermarket batteries? how are they supposed to know?
i came into this thread asking questions because to me it seems a little too good too be true, i know very little about battery tech but i do know a fair bit about other areas. other people, even those on this site may not have the slightest clue other than 1800 is more than 1400 and to talk down to them because of this is very unfair.

£26+ for 400mAh more - seems a bit steep IMO.
Better to buy a second genuine BST-41 from SE - seen them for the same money all over the place:
For example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/EMARTBUY-GE...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274285908&sr=1-6

So long as it arrives with SE logo and hologram on it, it's probably fine.

Not true. The P1 battery from Ebay did have a hologram but when comparing against the original battery there was a visible difference.
Mugen 3600 mAh battery
I got my 3600mAh battery on Friday and it works great! 5% drain an hour even with heavy useage. I can go the whole day without charging and still have 30% before I go to bed, beats the OG battery which I had to charge 2 times a day which sucked...
I'm personally a bit skeptical to 3rd party batteries, but I would like to have a 3600mha battery, the added thickness is not a problem. But as far as I know there only available battery from Sony is the stock 1500mha battery?

Got my 1800mAh Mugen battery and i can take it off charge at 8.30am and have it still on 40% at 5pm after heavy use during my lunch hour.
It does work much better
Saw an eBay auction for the Mugen battery set up by "Mugen Battery".
Read the lower lines and they want to add 19% VAT after the sale is completed to all EU buyers by sending you a separate bill for the VAT (totally against eBay rules)!

You are most definitely right I bought one if those for my G1 and it crapped out within a year. Your best bet is to take your chances with the cheap batteries on ebay. You can get ten of them for what one from Seidio charges you. No knock on Seidio.

dunno where i saw it (somewhere here on xda prolly N1 forum) but some guys put every aftermarket battery for MANY phones up against HTC's stock batteries the astounding results:
NO aftermarket battery from ANY mfg. has EVER beaten HTC's stock battery...
(this is referring to batteries that fit in stock battery enclosure)
I agree after market battery might show higher numbers but not as good as the stocks ones

me 3 right under a year mine crapped out and it never seemed much better than my 2 year old htc it replaced.
I'm surprised, I've had good results with extended batteries. The one I got for my G1 did considerably better than stock. (8-9 hours versus 6 with OEM battery.)
I bought 2 1500mAh batteries with charger from ebay for less then $15 shipped. They last less then stock battery does (I kill stock battery in about 14 hours, the ones from ebay last me about 10-12 hours) but I always have charged spare battery now. Great investment IMHO, no way I would pay $50 for 1 battery, not even original HTC.
Hey Zoltair, What brand was the one you got that was better than stock???
Well I should hope that an extended battery would give you longer life then a stock...seeing as how its suppose to. I don't think that the problem is whether or not extended batteris last longer, because I would think if you bought an extended battery and it didint last longer then a smaller, stock battery..you would then return it...I think what people have problems with is getting what they pay for, price per mA and how much mA there really is...if your paying 50 dollars for a battery rated at 1400ma, your probably going to want all the mA you payed for...for example: (PURELY FOR SPECULATION, NOT REAL NNUMBERS) say you have a stock 500ma battery and you get like 4 hours out of it or whatever, and then you purchase an extended battery for 50bucks and its "rated" at 1000ma, yet you only get 6-7 hours out of it...? Then it would seem that it isn't truly rated at which they say it is... Then you get into how much certain companies value their own integrity, and how much they are going to inflate their own battery ratings to simply sell the product. Examples of this can be found on batteryboss.org ...This website obtains batteries and tests them, and you can see clearly, some companies inflate their ratings more than others... If you look at what the battery was rated at, and what exactly it tested at...they even break down price per mA...so if you paid 2dollars per mA for a 1500 rated battery and it tested at 1300..how much money are you losing? Purchasing an extended battery should be looked at like all consumer purchases, weight the pros and cons... and read reviews on companies, you can also seek alternatives such as previous post in this thread of having spare OEM batteries that cost 1/10th of an extended battery, yet they immediately doulbe your battery length..

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has tried one of these.....
Its 2430 (or 2450mah) the ebay page cant really decide, im guessing its a typo.... Its the same size as the default battery. Thats a calculated 47% increase in battery capacity...
Link here:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110750637282?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Its the biggest battery capacity i can find without increasing the physical size of the battery and requiring a new case....
If not, i will post some of my own reviews once it comes through.

Ya i'll bet its a typo, more like 1450mah rather than 2450mah. No cheap aftermarket battery can even match the stock battery in capacity let alone offer 50% more capcity.
im not expecting a full 2400mah out of it, more like a 2100mah....
thing people need to realize, is the stock battery is made in the same places (sometimes) as these after market batteries. The quality might be slightly off, but not substancially..... they are all made in asian countries for less than $0.20 a piece in mass production....

You'll be lucky if it even matches the stock battery, you just can't magically cram more capacity into a battery. The samsung 2000mah battery is thicker and comes with a new cover, why isn't samsung using this battery if it has more capacity and is smaller than its own 2000mah battery? If its too good to be true(on ebay) it probably is.
probably the same reason why they dont release ICS 4.0 and other things straight away that other phones have that is better than what they currently have..... coz they are slightly retarded as a company lol
not a chance that has more power than the stock battery if its the same size. Those gold wrapped batteries from ebay always get really bad reviews. Youll probably find its 1300mah
Seen one review where it was a smaller battery in a plastic frame. Battery capacity was much lower than the stock battery. If it sounds too good to be true and it is cheap, then it probably is.

...are you serious? it's a proven fact that non-OEM/aftermarket batteries in general are usually worse than stock batteries. check out sites like http://batteryboss.org/ you can see testing of aftermarket brands like seidio and mugen...the actual capacity is between 55% to 85% of the advertised capacity, while OEM batteries are ~95%+.
as for what you said about samsung being a retarded company and not releasing the best hardware/software possible, you'd rather trust a random ebay seller with an UNBRANDED battery coming straight from china for $14 aus dollars, which is somehow still 47% higher in capacity, over a multinational corporation with trusted suppliers who are industry leaders in their own right? you really think samsung would willingly reduce their battery capacity in light of the huge implications it could have on the sales of their flagship phone?
as a final piece of evidence, here's a google translated website showing the testing of so called ebay '2430 mah' batteries. http://translate.google.com/transla...e/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-2-3500-mah-2430mah.html as he shows halfway down the page, the real capacity is somewhere between 1000-1250mah. terrible. you should research more before you blindly advocate for your misinformed purchases. all it does is drag other gullible members of this forum down with you.

Different material can make a big difference.
I know it's probably bull****, but i bought one of those battery and i was impressed by the time it last. I tought i would end with a smaller time than stock battery, but it lasted longer. I did not made super precise test, I don't have time for that. I must always be with latest rom / kernel so flashing a new rom or kernel a day don't let me much time to bench battery xD. My point is, that i think it last longer than original samsung battery and this, even if people are doing test that proof i'm false.
Guys you're all being very unfair.
This is obviously a Global Dynamics battery, I believe the model is 'Fringe'. It actually draws it's extra power from a trans dimensional link and was invented by Dr William 'Pointy' Bell.
I'd suggest everyone buy one.

...are you serious? it's a proven fact that non-OEM/aftermarket batteries in general are usually worse than stock batteries. check out sites like http://batteryboss.org/ you can see testing of aftermarket brands like seidio and mugen...the actual capacity is between 55% to 85% of the advertised capacity, while OEM batteries are ~95%+.

So this means the advertised battery should have a capacity between 1336.5 and 2065.5. So one could be lucky and really get a battery with more capacity than the stock one.
Sure, I agree with you that such cheap battery can't hold that much juice. However for a spare battery it is fine if you look at capacity/price.
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has tried one of these.....
Its 2430 (or 2450mah) the ebay page cant really decide, im guessing its a typo.... Its the same size as the default battery. Thats a calculated 47% increase in battery capacity...
I just read a comment on Samsung Mobile Singapore that warn peoples not to buy it because it's a typo
sry guys, my native language isnt english, what does typo mean?

Typo is an abbreviation of 'Typographic Error' and the phrase originates from when newspapers were printed using printing plates as against computers that are used today.
An example of a typo would be writing h3llo rather then hello or 1243 rather then 1234, it's usually a mistyped character instead of a spelling mistake.
Hope this clears it up for you.

True, but I also did mention that another site tested the capacity specifically for the ebay '2430mah' batteries, and came out with a total capacity of 1000-1250mah. Even if we take it as 1250mah, that's still a 25% decrease from the stock capacity of 1680mah, which is abysmal. You could argue that it's fine as a spare battery, but at that price and capacity you might as well just buy another stock OEM battery, and save yourself the frustration. However, I would definitely argue against using it as your primary battery, for obvious reasons.
Any GOOD suggestions to a STOCK size battery with BIG capacity, that WORKS? Or battery similar or better than Samsung's 2000mah battery?
I use mostly clear TPU cases. Thinking of cutting hole in battery cover for a bigger battery too.
I wish battery covers like those in the 2000mah extended battery kit could be bought in colors, cheap. And then get some nice battery.
Sadly all those mah ratings can't be trusted

There is the Anker battery with 1900 mah, but thats the biggest battery I know, that doesn't increases the physical size of the phone.

No such thing, its either the stock samsung battery or the larger 2000mah samsung battery, everything else is going to have lower capacity no matter what the label says. Check out http://batteryboss.org/ and find an aftermarket battery that has similar capacity as an oem one... there simply isnt one.

What do you guys think. Is it even possible to get a 2500mah battery that small?
it looks interesting, but seems to be a fake 2500... need some review

Indeed, it's very suspect. Item description reads:
Rechargeable Battery
* Quantity: 1
* Stay connected with your family and friends by getting extra battery power today!
* This replacement battery has an integrated microchip that prevents overcharging and lengthens battery life.
* Best replacement for the original battery with comparable standby and talk time.
* Great bargain with excellent quality guaranteed!
* Type: Generic / Aftermarket
* Cell type: Lithium Ion
* Voltage: 3.7V
Capacity :2500mAh

So if the capacity is 2500mAh compared to 1650mAh for the stock battery, why are the standby and talk times comparable, instead of vastly superior.
it seems the battery doesn't fit inside s2 !see the comments in feedback section of the seller
So the conclusion is: don't buy this battery!
this is because some people having t'mobile version gs2 bought this battery that is for international gs2 only.
Ok guys here's the real manufacturer page of the Momax X-level battery. Same specs as stock. Not better
Link http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1519&T=2
yes, i couldn't find the 2500 version on their website
don't buy!

Any Li-ion battery the same size as the original is going to be more or less the same capacity, however there are many sellers who simply upgrade the label and charge more. This has turned into a bit of an arms-race where every seller feels he has to try and out-do the competition's outrageous claims. I've seen the same batteries advertised as 1650mA, 1850mA, 2000mA, 2200mA and now this guy's just trumped that.
When you complain that it doesn't last any longer than the standard battery you'll no doubt be told you have to go through umpteen discharge/charge cycles before it is at full capacity. This is also BS of course.
These are probably perfectly good 1650mA batteries, just don't get conned into paying more for a bigger number on the label.
This batt is fake, I had to buy one to believe it. I used battery monitor app to get the infor about its capacity and it says its 1650!!! Not 2500
don't buy!
I bought two pieces but same the original battery
not need for me...
One good solution for people looking for a greater capacity battery for the SG2 is the Anker at 1900mAh. I have it one year so far, and after hundreds of charging cycles it is still as good as it was the first time. Sorry for the off-topic, however not very often I have bought such a reliable non-brand product. Between 1650 and 1900 the small difference is, that the phone will make it through the day with a moderate use, because for heavy use not even the 2500 is enough....:good:
Are those Nexus 5 batteries at AliExpress with a capacity of 3800mAh legit? They even claim it's the same size as the original batteries.
No, this is fake... Maybe the real capacity will have a 1500mAh... Search original or replacement of good quality, for example. PolarCell: http://www.polarcell.de/english.html
I second that (what bykumza writes), if the manufacturer (LG) could have fitted a real 3800 mAh battery they would have done that. Often the more modest capacity values are more accurate. I can confirm that PolarCell are very good, well worth the money. The Chinese cheapies often dissapoint.

Actually Nexus 5 and G2 are released almost same date. Nexus 5 has 2300 mah battery and G2 has 3000 mah. I bought G2 battery and put it in my Nexus 5. It fits but it needs ~1 mm space which is not a problem for LG to do it! But they did not! That company did not put 3000 mah battery in nexus 5 which could have been the bestseller because of price/performance and put 2300 mah in it so they could sell their ****ing G2s with great battery life. So no they would not have done it even if they could. Today companies do not do so much things that they can, we just can't even imagine. Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung , apple and other mobile companies are good example. Why on earth can't mobile companies like apple put bigger batteries in it's super high price phones? Juts why? Samsung managed to put 3600 mah battery in 5.5 inch phone which is smaller then iphone 6s plus or 7 plus which has ~2900 mah and takes 3 and a half ****ing hours to charge it!!!!
Would you recommend to get a replacement battery from PolarCell instead of getting OEM original one?

And... Why not G2 battery? I need a replacement to
Thanks
Fitting G2 battery requires some hardware modification, which I frankly don't feel like doing.
I just wonder which battery is better, a PolarCell one (someone recommend in previous post) or OEM one.
Polarcell is reportedly one of the best alternatives and has a slightly higher capacity than the original cost can say that comes out more or less the same as the original.
Here, unfortunately, you have to answer on your own if you want to take a chance and buy a replacement if you prefer a standard solution.
