Has anyone tried this Ecell 2430MAH battery ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-2430M...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326647685&sr=1-5
Still not even lasting a day with the stock battery. (GTmax one was better).
If this is junk think I will just get the 1800 Mugen Power one.
(I think the performance of the stock battery is horrendous - perhaps I was defrauded by shop I bought it from (One of the staff needed a new one so swapped theirs for mine etc. Never buy from Dial A Phone).
This was posted on my thread for the 2600mha battery. From what I make if it stay away from ecell. Here is the link. This is not from me but from another user on xda. I am simply pasting the link he provided.

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it
E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!
yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

and what do you mean....is there really an improvement of 830mha to the stock batterie?
I also got an gold ecell batterie for my "old" lg optimus speed.
I think i saw an improvement of the battery (1500 mhA Stock to 2430 mhA from Ecell)....
The improvement was ~15-20 % more power i think.

Nice, and it has an extended cover. I heard I other threads that there wasn't a extended cover. Anyone here tried the e-cell 3600mAh and the cover? Also, is the mAh increase picked up by the phone automatically, or will I have to tweak a build prop?

I have a gt max (?) 3600mah battery and the phone seems to pick up the battery capacity with no problem. Of course, your experience may differ from mine due to differences in batteries.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
i have also an 3600mha battery for my r800i and the duration icreased to about 50%.
The extended cover is really nice and fits perfectly. the only problem with the extended cover is, that it squeaks.
The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.

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?

My original 1500mAh battery was dead by 3.30-4pm after taking it off charge at 8.30am and that was with moderate use. Its been dead by 2pm before now.
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)!
What a bunch of shysters!

Has anyone comes across a better battery for the play?
I have seen the mugen one stated in this forum but I was hoping for
a battery of around 2500mAh. The phone is great but I'm disappointed by the
battery life.
I know batteries for the X10 are compatible but have yet been unable to find a case
which will accommodate it for the play.

mugen-power said they are working on a backplate for battery I linked to in another thread in this forum. I think it is 3600 or something, I don't know about 2500mah though. I think the mugen one is your best bet seidio deosn't support sony ericsson devices.

Any idea when this will be released?
If it is the same price as the X10 battery is don't think I'll be buying it! Which is a shame because it would be perfect. But 97 dollars is a bit rich for me. Considering I bought an extended battery and case for my galaxy so and it cost me £13.

no timeframe they just said "we're actively working on one" when I asked them
as for the price, well... there is no other alternatives. I bought my play for almost 850 usd, if I woulda waited a couple weeks I could have gotten one from canada for about 650... and if I woulda waitted untill it comes out in america I could have probally gotten it subsidized for about 150-200 usd...
if you want something bad enough... you'll pay
Deleting a lot off apps after rooting did wonders for my battery life.
I agree with u on this to some extent. But considering the batteries alone cost around £10, I cannot justify spending £60 on a piece of plastic!

Guys, as svenk919 says, everyone who has rooted & removed bloatware is claiming huge battery life increases. Don't be too hasty on ordering a new one until you have witnessed for yourselves
Think I'll have a go at rooting mine tonight then!
Personnally I'm waiting till the thicker batteries with a replacement back cover come out just for the extra thickness when gaming, added battery life will be a bonus to me.

I just got mine in the mail.
Let me just say, this thing is HUGE! Like, noticeably massive..
Because of this, I am delegating it as my backup battery, for those days when I know I'm going to be having heavy phone usage.
Instead of carrying around my portable charger that takes forever to give any useful charge when I'm out, this will do quite nicely.
Do you guys have a link to where to buy this? Sorry if I'm off topic here.
I have a mugen power 3600mAh and the difference is out standing I really recommend it as it can go for up to 3 days on one charge. Xperia Play is designed for a big battery! especially if you game on it.

Just wanted to report in with my experience of these large capacity batteries.
I purchased 2 of them along with a generic external charger and they are far better than the stock ones.
Currently been going for 48 hours and still at 25%. I was struggling to get 12 hours out of the stock battery.
They seem like reasonable quality and for around 10AUD each they are decent value. They fit under the stock cover too which is a bonus.
Anyone else using these?

Thanks for this info ! Would you post some pictures of the battery itself and some of usage stats , please ?
Most likely it is fake. Recently I bought 'gold' battery for my old SE K800 from ebay. Printed capacity on label was almost double than original battery but in fact real capacity was half of original. So, returned to seller and lost shipping costs only.
Unfortunately physics is in full force for batteries: at the moment larger capacity can be achieved only by more or larger sells!!!
I'm actually MORE than happy with original Samsung 2000MAh battery. I would NEVER put a fake or low quality battery close to my face.

Well that confirms all these uprated batteries are in fact rubbish with the exception of the much larger 3500mah one and even that was nowhere near the stated 3500mah rating
The gold batteries from Ebay are all fake. Don't waste your time. Peel off the gold cover, under it, you'll find an under powered rating.this batteries have already been discussed at xda over and over with picture evidences to show they are fake. Go buy a jaguar for 10 bucks and tell me it's real.

I just bought one from ebay too. A gold 2450 mAh battery.
After I received it I put it in the mobile and battery snap from the market tells me the same remaining time as the stock 1650 mAh battery.. Then I peeled off the gold wrapper and underneath I found this inprint "HD504655AR 11K08NF1650".. 1650 ?? Strange coincidence ...
I opend a case with ebay requesting my money back because this looks like a fraud. I'll have to wait several days for it to close, but I will tell you how it ended...
I can only tell you that I should have read the posts here about the "gold" batteries.. Damn fakes!
Ok, so can anyone tell me how to identify a genuine Samsung battery?
My phone came with a battery that looks almost identical to eBay item 110825200405, except that mine says "Finished in Vietnam" and the recycle symbol is a bit different.
The supposedly genuine batteries on eBay (e.g. eBay item 140704498924) look quite different.
I got my phone from Orange/Partner in Israel and I'm wondering if they are using cheap aftermarket batteries to save money. Anyway, I want to buy a spare but I want to make sure that I'm getting my moneys worth for a battery that has the actual marked capacity and that will last.
Thanks.
Glad to trade abt the gold batteries here. I was abt to use a pair for myself
"Gold Batteries"
Bump.
I was about to post a big thing with a battery log that I kept for the first 5 charges of my new "Gold" battery along with how unimpressed I was and that it didnt seem any better than my stock 1250mAh. The new battery was supposedly 2450mAh. after reading the post 2 posts above mine I decided to remove the gold foil to look at the stamps on mine. I see nothing to indicate the mAh capacity on mine but after using it for a month I can say for sure that it is no better than my stock battery. I am not going to file it with ebay or anything but it sure seems like there are a lot of fakes out there. Mine came from Ghuang Dong china or something like that... lol. Anyway I only paid 6.99$ with no shipping and have a functional spare battery now so, oh well. Lesson learned. Figured I'd give my 2 cents.

Just got the ebay GOLD (haha) battery as well but paid like 4 bux for it - FWIW it seems to hold a charge longer though it charges lightning fast which leads me to believe that it is indeed not 2450mah
After having done a bit of research, mah is a tricky thing to verify - can be done with a multimeter BUT there is a device called a battery-analyzer that does the trick. So these ppl that sell the possibly fraud batteries have tapped a great market: people (mostly) without the gear or know-how to check the quality of the goods!
regardless i needed a second battery so no loss for me. Now if it explodes or something I will report here first and I will not leave my 5star feedback for the "gold battery people" just yet
UPDATE
***so the gold battery performance is incredibly poor - last less and less time with each charge***
I'd advise anyone to absolutely not bother with one of these

I'd advise anyone to absolutely not bother with one of these

Can you post picture of this genuine Samsung 200mAh battery? Is the size same as 1650mAh one?

the 2000mah is a bit bigger (that is why it needs a new cover plate)
I have an 1800mah (also a bit bigger) but fits nicely in the phone.
Is there much difference between the two? Currently have the Ankher, thinking of getting the official extended battery.
Is there much point?

Think youll find i have. There are several thread on the Ankher 1900Mah, and several threads on the Genuine extended. Care to have a pop at the thread starters of them topics?.
Ive also searched through each of the threads, and found nothign specific to my query.
I was looking for someone who has used both of these batteries and can tell if there is a significant benfit in jumping to the official 2000mah from the 1900 Ankher.

Hi mate, fancy seeing you in a place like this.
Yea, moved on since my Symbian days & never been happier. Symbian was great in it's day but was spoiled by slow operating system & crap build quality. First got the Galaxy S & was delighted with it, so now moved up to the S2. Love this phone.
Nice to meet you again.
Better stop now or I will be accused of going off topic. See you soon.
Ankers are not 1900mah but 1600 or 1650 (dont remember for sure but this is what's printed on the cell under the anker wrapping). It's also confrmed by the fact that anker battery lasts same as stock samsung battery. Based on that official 2000mah should last longer but I never had one to confirm from personal experience . Howevet I'm very happy with 2 anker batteries and desktop sharger that I bought for 1/3 of price of official 2000mah battety. 95% of times I swap batteries instead of charging phone. My case is hybrid silicone / hard plastic. I removed stock battery cover plate as case covers the back anyway. When the battery runs down it takes me 10 secs to swap it + with 3 batteries(4800mah) I have 2.5 times more power then extended bat.
Arrived this morning the extended battery. Firt impressions.
I think i prefer the thickness of the phone now. One plus point is that the Camera area now has some protection when itslaid on its back, Isn't being laid straight on the lens.
The heavyness of the phone. Not sure, oesn't seem that heavy to me, but then, i had a Sony Ericsson X10i before this, so its probably on parr with that on weight
Will fully charge it up, and see how i get on.
CM9 Latest build!

What about overheating with the samsung new battery? My phone overheats even on running basic HD games on the default battery. Shucks I know. I am thinking of getting hands on 2000 battery but I will not buy it if it has the same overheat problems because I've heard that Anker battery doesn't cause much overheat issues.
1 day 2 hours. 52% battery left. Rom & Kernel setup in my sig!

of course it gets warm you're running something processor/graphics intensive..... And if you think a cheap Anker battery is going to be better than an OEM battery you're a fool.

The anker batteries are high quality...Even when i run games such as 9mm or PES 2012 the phone never over-heats. And the surprising amount of extra battery life whilst keeping the same size is really amazing. So don't go talking about things that you know nothing about. And if your still going to fight me on this then maybe you should check some of the reviews on amazon about it then maybe you could come to your sense and not call it " a cheap Anker battery".
I mean no offence with this but I'm tired of people talking about something whilst not knowing anything about it.
so call me a fool then i guess
I am using the 1900mAh Anker batteries and based on my experience they do last longer compared to the stock 1650mAh. And yes there is no phone heating issues at all.
but hey this is just me sharing my experience. you can call it cheap, because the price really is, $20 dollars for two of them. Cheap when it comes to price, but quality-wise then its worth every cent i paid for. Again this is just me. Maybe the gadget gurus know better if they have tried them

is this for real has anybody tried it?
Even if it doesn't, small price for a spare battery
Try browsing through the ebay feedback for that seller.
I bought this one and it definitely has extended the battery life for me, I can go a whole day of whatsapping and calling my gf without having to charge it at work....

i bought a "2430 mAh" battery from a hong kongese ebay seller and it definitely is not better than the original 1600 mAh, but it only cost 8 euro so whatever...
I bought this one months ago and love it, it is big but it lasts for 2 days.

I liked it so much I made a thread just for it. Many people have purchased the above battery and love it as well. Here is the thread if you are interested, I am not trying to thread jack just wanted to share what I have found.

How long do you estimate you could run games like n64roms or 3d games like gta 3?
Just bought this as I can't find any of the BST-41 2430mah gold batteries anywhere atm. Hopefully it's decent

I had a 1950mha battery in the same size as the stock battery... nothing but bad luck. Phone was on crack. Glitchey and lagging. Then I read that you can cram a higher mha battery inside a stock battery for a phone per se. But then what happens is the battery gets hotter (which that one did) and with the additional heat comes a faster discharge rate, and a overall shorter life span of the battery as it cant stay cool. And with the higher heat will also make your phone hotter
Anyone tried the 2300mAh ebay battery, yet? At $11, I almost want to risk it, but I'd really like to know if anyone else has had experience with it, first. The one I'm currently looking at is eBay item 300832163583 (I'm too new to be able to post links).

Umm... Maybe. It doesn't say "Gold Battery," but it says "Golden Standby Battery."
Apparently, it's made by a Hong Kong company called Kinps. It's very prominently branded, at least in the picture.

Alright, well that makes me feel not quite as uneasy about trying it out. I looked at the ebay feedback, and I only saw a few negatives for the battery as opposed to ten or so positives, so it might be okay.
This one doesn't look gold-colored though; it's white, purple, and orange.
I bought these yellow/red-on-white ones and they are very stable and give some juice to my Play (they're rated @ 3600mAh). For me in a cROM like KXP for XPlay with Turbo Kernel JB/ICS r12 lasts around 2 days at normal use, I really pushed these batteries to the limit (and my Play too btw) by overclocking @ 2GHz playing NFS: Most Wanted (this game is very hard on resources and CPU) and they didn't explode lol
I have them since June 2012 and they're in good shape right now.
You can try them if you like. :good:

Oh, no, I really, really don't want the deeper battery cover. First, I'd lose my beautiful, blue AT&T rear cover, and second, I wouldn't be able to use my dock! Well, not without switching back to the stock battery, anyway. And that kind of defeats the purpose of using the dock as my charger.
Eh, I'm starting to reconsider the extended back thing. Yesterday, I managed to pull off a full 24 hours on the stock battery. Today, I've only managed about 12. The difference? Today I had about a two hour session of Chip's Challenge on aLynx, haha. So, I'm pretty much draining half or more of my battery capacity just from a couple hours of Lynx emulation. Even if the battery I'm considering does have a capacity of 2300mah, I'm thinking I'd probably want over 3000mah if I keep up this kind of gaming habit. So, I guess I'm considering the 3500mah battery with extended cover from California, now.
I'll only miss having the back in a matching color a bit, but I really wish I could still use it with my dock. Do you guys think the phone would fit well on the dock with the battery installed if I removed the battery cover first?
EDIT: No, I don't think it would fit on the dock at all. I just tried with my stock battery cover off to see where the battery lines up, and it still comes below the lip on the dock. This is a really tough choice.
