3800 mAh Akku from mtec? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
does anyone of you use a bigger akku for your GNex?
I'm from Austria and just saw this on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.de/Mtec-Samsung-G...SI4Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332160837&sr=8-1
Is it common, that those batteries are that cheap?
Could it destroy my GNex or is it worth a try?
greetz

Its worth a try someone at another phone forum site got one and has had pretty good results so far. Worth a shot for 10 bucks I guess.

Ou, ouch!
Just found this:
http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/blog/403130/Mtec-3800-mAh-Akku-Galaxy-Nexus
That looks really awful Quasimodo GNex

Wow didn't realize how terrible this thing looks. They could at least try to match the color of the outer frame, it looks so out of place.

Be wary. A lot of these batteries aren't actually the capacity that they advertise.
$12 may be worth the risk.

yea, i just bought one i will see how works
On the captivate forums a user bought a few of these different mAh batteries and did tests with some battery meters. None of the batteries did as well as the stock OEM batteries. Even known "good" brands like Seido didn't do well. The higher capacity batteries never did as well as even stock batteries and the cheap eBay batteries that matched the originals did really bad.
If i want an extra battery i will just buy it from AT&T or Moto - or somewhere that i know the one i buy is genuine.
i bought one today too
I asked the seller:
Does the battery fit in the original battery-case?
here is his answer:
his is andida battery.It is better than the original battery thick only little .do not worry,it could be use
Do you think it will fit?
I looked and it seems to me like there's not really room for a thicker battery....
Make sure to check out the seidio battery...that might be a good one.
Surely:

I would be very wary of any battery that is any thicker than the original. If you have to press harder on the cover to get it to clip on with the thicker battery, it could be physically stressing the circuit boards or other components.
its already shipped so i will report back when i get it if its not the same as stock i could use it as backup battery when im camping so for 12 bucks worth
That's a monster lol perhaps 120 us its pretty expensive for me plus shipping , not sure how big will be my atrix . I will wait chinese one

extended battery from ebay

hi all, anyone tried one of these or have any views on them?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220920058988?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
I'm skeptical that it will actually be 3.8Ah but who knows!
I would maybe try this one first
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2300mAh...ccessories&hash=item3f117fadeb#ht_5834wt_1413
i don't trust oversized. Also the Gnex requires that the battery has a NFC chip on it to be able to use the Gnex's NFC function
what's the capacity on the standard battery packs? That 2.3ah one you linked to does not look much bigger, do you also need a new back cover for that one?

Only $5.99 USD?
That's too good to be true ... most probably fake, I meant it contain less than 2300 mAH.
And it is for "Galaxy Nexus prime" ... bwahahaha ... Yeah, right!
Also, it does not look to have NFC.
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/110797773716#ht_4338wt_905
It has NFC and it is (slightly) higher capacity. The back cover fits perfectly, and is almost identical to the CDMA GN back cover. Makes the device just a tad less concave near the bottom. Looks and fees better in my opinion.
I've ordered one of the 3,800 ones, I'll post a review when I get it!
Both the cheap ones do seem a bit too good to be true, but for the price of the so called 3800mah one I might try it and test it out.
I'll look forward to seeing the review if u get yours first mate

The 2000 ones are genuine. Many people have bought it and have no complaints.
NFC on it works as well if that matters to you. It has many prices some in USD etc etc.
Anyone bought one yet?

Yo dawg, check the accessories forum. There's a thread for this huge ass battery in there.

Been thinking about this. I hate putting on huge battery packs so the 2000mAh was appealing. but $50 for such a small bump is hard to justify for me, especially considering I have no plans to get a desk charger and swap batteries.

I was thinking the same thing, but I went for it anyway. I bought it so I wouldn't have to swap batteries. The 2000mah battery has about 15% more capacity, so if you get say 12 hours on the regular battery, you should get 13.7 hours. If you get 18 hours, you should get 20.6 hours. As well, I find my GN feels much better in my hand with the extended battery: it is slightly heavier and less concave in the back (i.e., it looks like an LTE GN).

No NFC chip. I wouldn't buy. Only the official Samsung extended has the NFC. It's stupid that they put it in the battery

Here's my thread on the 3,800 mAh battery

3500+ mAh batteries

I found that there are 3500+ mAh batteries for the Nexus, but I'm trying to figure out which one. A lot of them have *extremely* ugly covers. I have a otter box, and would like to try to keep it compatible with common cases. It's not 100% necessarily important, but would be nice.
What are you suggestions on batteries? I found a few on Amazon, ranging from $10 to $60. I have verizon extended already. It sucks.
You're probably not gonna find anything in the slim extended department. Every single 3800 mAh battery is huge.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
You can get batteries for $10? Do they last? Or do you get what you pay for?
I hear they sell tanks at the local swap meet.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Guarantee the $10 3800mAh battery will give you about the same life as the stock battery lol.
I have no clue if they are any good. I'm not worried about the case, really, I just want to last at work:

Video Review: Mugen Power 4000 mAh Extended Battery!

Hey guys,
I finally got my hands on the Mugen power 4000 mAh extended battery, which I know a lot of you are eager to check out! Within the package you'll receive the battery and the back cover. The back cover fits great and looks fantastic, the textured coating is comfortable and grippy. It includes a kickstand which is loose and pretty terrible to be honest. As for the battery performance, watch the video below for full info:
Thanks for the video. It was well done, I enjoyed watching it.
How many cycles have you gone through? I'm wondering if the lackluster performance was due to the battery not bring broken it.
I have the Hyperion battery. If I were to spend a premium on an extended, I think I would rather get the Seidio over the Mugen. No crappy kickstand and the Seidio also looks like it fits in the hand better.

Thanks for the kind words! I ran 4 cycles the day I received it plus another 3-4 when I was in New York City. I'm still going to keep using and going to run my test again after 20 cycles or so and see if that helps (and get back to you guys).
A buddy of mine has the Seidio, I like the soft touch coating but it feels cheap (for example, the Seidio logo scratches off SUPER easily). However, it's half the price, so you really can't compete with that.
Hope my video helped out!

Sweet! Now that you know the 'truth' and you won't be surprised, you should be relatively happy with the product.
It's over 4000 but honestly, why cant manufacturers do what motorolla made to RAZR? even Galaxy Note not use all space under the cover..
Great review! Thanks for posting. I too think its a bit on the expensive side considering the 3800 is like 30 dollars less. Mugen really seems to be asking a lot for something that is testing less than expected for a premium price. With that said, i do wonder how well the back door would fit on this particular case. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Me...976685?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item231a1d336d

Hmm..seems like it would fit. I had a similar setup on my Galaxy S II, where I used the Mugen 3200 mAh Battery with the SGP Neo Hybrid EX Bumper. Worked pretty well.
lovely battery, thx mate
Great review! I bought the cheap 3800mAh battery and it only lasted for about 5 hours and 15 minutes playing video with the screen on. I plan on running the 2100mAh battery to compare. I was wondering how this one was in comparison and now I know. I don't think it is worth $100 for that type of performance.
I loved the kickstand on my Momax 2700 battery for the Vibrant and that appealed to me on this one. Great to see before ordering one that it is so poorly made.
Thanks again for the great review.
good idea, but really too thick to put in my jean's pocket~

Yeah, definitely. It's not worth the price tag. My contact there emailed me and is sending out a new kickstand/cover, he thinks mine was just a faulty cover, we'll see.
Will keep everyone updated on that.
With a tight kick stand, this product would be much better!
i have one. the kick stand is ok. it doesnt flick out like what you see in the video even when i give it a good shake to test it out.
Singsing...how's the battery life so far? I just bought one and would like to know what others have experienced so far

I just wanted to let everyone know that I received the Mugen Power 4000 mah extended battery yesterday. I will report back on the results once the first charging cycle is complete.
I was able to use the battery for a bit yesterday...
It averaged about 1 hour 15 min of display time with pretty heavy usage ...and only a 20 percent battery drain. Stock battery would have drained 30-35 percent in same time.
I will follow up soon.

Can anyone with this battery stream netflix over LTE and report back?
I got about 3.5 hours with the Seidio 3800mah on auto.
I will redo the test with max brightness.

New battery on Amazon.

Hi guys, I was just browsing amazon for an extended battery for the note when I came across this:
http://www.amazon.com/Official-Capa...&sr=1-3&keywords=n7000+extended+battery+white
Now I am familiar with the Gold batteries but it's the first time I am seeing this new blue series, anyone seen this before or even heard about it. I only see one review on it and it's a 5 star...maybe it's the real deal or maybe it's dodgy like the Gold batteries.
Just thought I would share, I will buy one and try it out of curiosity.
EDIT:
After a few searches I found this on the i717 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084128
this is better http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SJOQSS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AUINAUJRKUKIE
Looks like gold lower performance from stock (2500mAh). i try the gold and disappointed. i dont trust something like that
I have the Anker 2700mah batteries already and they work great but I was really looking for something along the lines of 3000mah without having to replace the back cover.
has any one try this .. buyers comments are good
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...398589?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item232093967d
Thanks... the price is good... I think i´ll try this one.
reasonable price.
Very good price but they only ship to US I believe. Bad luck. Please share your experience if you buy it.
is it real 3500 mAH
Any review? I don't trust 3500mah fits legimatelly on the Note. There must be any kind of trick ¬¬
AW: New battery on Amazon.
Thx for info. Will try it.
