Hopefully navalynt can get us the stats of this.
Clearly the writing on the outside of these batteries are lies, since they do not last as long as they should.
However, for the cheap price - it does supply you with those extra critical hours you might need.
Also, the charger is very handy and also works with the stock battery! (hopefully does no harm!)

I ordered a 3600mAh battery from eBay last week. I don't suppose you have tried one of those yet have you?

Didn't see this one! No I haven't tried it.
Upon receiving yours, I suppose you should calibrate it using Battery Left (there's a free version) and I could add it to this thread for others to use as a reference?

Heey Navalynt!! Good to see you here man, rocked a couple of your mods for the Atrix!
About this battery, do you seriously expect it to make a difference? You won't be able to fit any case on the phone either. On the other hand, 16$ isn't the end of the world..
(Also, how do you charge them both, suppose you'll need a cradle of some sort?)

Thanks for posting, never did think these sketchy batteries were any good.

I ordered a 2 billion mAh battery from a Chinese located eBay seller, it doubles as a car battery too. Should probably last an extra 30-40 seconds longer than my OEM 1750 mAh battery from Samsung.

Re calibrating the 1900mAh battery today, will post updated stats later.

Added the re-calibration of the 1900mAh. First reading wasn't bogus, the battery lasted even less second time round! ~6 hours!

So in other words, whatever it's rated at, cut it in half if its cheap crap.

Any chance you going to do the Official Extended Battery for GSM?

I will probably order one in the future but not immediately. However I would appreciate if someone calibrated their extended battery and posted a BatteryLeft screen here, as it would most likely incline me to buy one quicker!!

I'll be receiving an official GSM extended battery in the next few days. I'd be happy to post the results from that.

Do these batteries have the NFC antenna built into them???

Maybe I missed it, but can someone link me to the official Samsung GNex GSM battery? I just want a spare of the original.

Thanks for the review. The 1900 mah battery stats are an eye opener. I ordered the 2300 mah battery, when it comes I will provide feedback if you haven't already by that time. Hopefully its better than the stock gsm battery. lol

Mugen Power batteries in early 2011?

According to a rep I emailed, Mugen Power is making extended life batteries for our battery eating HTC Glacier that should be released sometime early 2011. For those who don't know Mugen Power, they have a reputation for making extended life batteries for every popular smart phone on the market.
Typically they'll make 2 different batteries for each phone, one that aims to fit like a stock with an added 400 or so mah, the second tends to require a custom backing and can often be double the stock mah.
Honestly? I can't wait. ^.^

In the tests I see Mugen did absolutely terrible. In my experience they *can* make good batteries, but have terrible Q.C. The 1st batt I received for my N900 only lasted about half an hour when fully charged. The second lasted over two days on a charge, when stock couldn't even last one.
They seem to be very much a "luck of the draw" kind of company.
posted this in the seido innocell thread as well:
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 disagree fella, I myself can verify that Mugen power LiIon battery is superior comparing mAh to mAh against stock HTC batteries. I mean its not just BS they do have respected branch in the market when it comes to manufacturing batteries which is durable and long lasting which is tested by many. But for it to work you have to completely discharge it few times I normally do it for 2-3days before actual use for optical performance.

Okay so this morning after I replaced the Mugen battery with stock battery I fully charged it and took this screenshot.

Now keep in mind the stock battery is 1230 mAh and the Mugen power stock size battery was 1300 mAh. So the only difference here was 70+ extra mAh yet after extended test and usage I can respectfully say I got 3-4hours extra with Mugen than the stock size which is alot when you compare the batteries and its only 70 mAh extra which is nothing.
Now keep in mind from those SS the TBattery 0.60 does not verify the actual full mAh as its preset to the max of stock battery which is bug in the program. At the beginning to me it did seem the stock battery was superior as time went on and after many full discharges, Mugen power battery come on top.

Extended Battery - Pretty Good Deal

I just ordered this off Amazon.
Seems like a good deal, and hopefully will cure the terrible battery issues I've been having.

I thought about that too, but with the problems I'm having, and all the different configs I've tried, my battery gets worse and worse, so I think it may be shot. Even if this is as good as a stock battery, it's cheaper than buying one from Sprint and could potentially be better than a stock.

i just returned the seidio 1750 mah battery, didn't make my battery last that much longer, at most i got an extra 3 hours. Also considering the 3500mah seidio was only a few bucks more, i decided to get that instead.
I don't know how many of you guys are from the MD area but there's a store in the local mall in Anne Arundel and they have or can get about any size/manufacturer battery. Its Cyberion I think, anyway good service reasonable prices and if I have issues I have an actual retailer to deal with. Ive been burned on line too many times I like having a person to deal with when issues or if issues come up.

Higher MaH generally means longer battery life. Though that is not always the case with cheaper knock off batteries...

Not worth it. Just buy two OEM batteries...
I don't believe in aftermarket batteries from my many experiences of it messing up my phone...it has to do something with the inconsistency of the voltage. That's just me though...
If there is a good reliable aftermarket battery out there I'm open to check it out....
I ordered one should get it by monday the 6th. will test it out and reply with results it was only 20 bucks so my hopes are low but we will see how it turns out
Its be great if this actually worked...especially the slim

Sent from the iPhone° killer
should be not bad given at this price range.
My friend got one of these. Its the same as the 12 dollar GTMax's, no diff from stock really.
Mugen batteries are probably worth the investment if you use your phone that heavily.
that's odd, cuz i got the qcell galaxy nexus one and also a gtmax version. the qcell one last longer than the gtmax one. perhaps it's luck of the draw. I'm going to give this one a try and see how it is
What is your conclusion after using that battery for a month? Is it better that stock one or worse?

I have also ordered one of these and i should have it on the 16th. I am new to xda so my opinion may be shrugged off but i have had my fair share of ext batteries. When i test this battery out i will post my results. I consider myself a power user so you will have results based on heavy use.

experience with qcell 3650mAh
I tried this battery out for about 3 weeks and did get noticbly longer battery life about 23 hours+ with heavy to moderate usage so IMO it was worth it ($10) altough i hated the extended battery cover the battery did keep my phone on relatively longer. only issue after about a month I cant charge the battery with my cable anymore, not sure if its the cable or not so im back to stock.
Extended battery 23-25 hours of heavy usage
Stock battery 12-15 hours of heavy usage
Hope this helps Hit thanks if if does

Would I be better off buying a third party, supposedly high capacity battery like this one or buying an original Samsung battery? I'm looking for an extended battery life, but I read none of the "high capacities" perform substantially better?
I received my new battery a few days ago, it last less than my old one, I hope this is only due to calibration time and things will get better in a few day...

Polarcell 2700mAh great battery life

A few weeks ago I purchased one of these Polarcell 2700mAh batteries.
It took a few cycles but now the battery life is amazing. Yesterday I had been texting and chatting on skype pretty much all day and I was surprised my battery wasn't empty yet so I went into the settings to check my screen on time.
My screen brightness was on auto and I don't have any apps like noled that keep the screen technically on but don't consume a lot of battery. All I did was use Skype and Gosmspro.
So if anyone is looking for a replacement battery, I can recommend the Polarcell 2700mAh..
Bravo. Although a stock battery can be as good as new.

Just bought one today for my galaxy s3 , i was confused about which battery to buy and how it would act.. I just saw your post now, so i feel that I did a good discussion :good:
screen shot
Could you please post screen shot of your About Phone with details of Rom/Kernel you're on? Thanks
Does it lose its charge in the next few weeks?
are these batteries the same dimension as the stock one? I mean, do I have to use a different back cover(bulky phone)?
@Octhellio which rom and kernel do you use ?
Been using a polarcell 2700 for a few months - and no matter what rom/kernel(both TW based or CM/PA/AOKP) I have been using - it holds its charge extremely well Worth the $$$
Great topic!
Do you know if the PolarCell is better than the MoTec?

I have search for reviews of Polarcell batteries, and found several happy users in many others phones.
So I bought two units on Ebay, one for my phone and one for my wife's phone.
I think it should be much better than these batteries from China...
Well, at least this seems to be made in Germany.

A few weeks ago I purchased one of these Polarcell 2700mAh batteries.
It took a few cycles but now the battery life is amazing. Yesterday I had been texting and chatting on skype pretty much all day and I was surprised my battery wasn't empty yet so I went into the settings to check my screen on time.
My screen brightness was on auto and I don't have any apps like noled that keep the screen technically on but don't consume a lot of battery. All I did was use Skype and Gosmspro.
So if anyone is looking for a replacement battery, I can recommend the Polarcell 2700mAh..

Are you using an AOSP based ROM or TW based? That's quite impressive is AOSP. I have 3 batteries and have my cellular signal off with brightness often at the lowest and get 4.5h maximum (batteries not too old).
Your android system usage is a lot lower than mine, what were you using it for?
Can you please weigh it compared to the standard battery?

I live in Brazil, and the batteries come from Germany, so the order has not arrived yet...

estimate date to delivery?
A few minutes ago I purchased it too, delivery is scheduled between the 23rd and the 26th of this month: D
I'm charging the battery! How many hours must be under load?
After 42 days, finally my batteries has come! (It´s sadly live in Brazil because of dollar conversion and time to receive Ebay things)
I put it on my phone and tried to use the 58% of charge that is inside.
I played 3 games and really feel that the battery discharge much more slower than my older one.
After 2h18m of screen time, it has 28% left!
I used 2h18m games/internet/youtube and it only discharge 30% (it´s a record on my phone)
Buuuuuuuuuuuut, it´s only the first impression...
Today I will fully charge the phone and do some tests...
I come back soon with my impressions.
Best regards
