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!
awesome vid man just what i was looking for
actually planning on getting this
still waiting for my review unit to get shipped to me ^O^

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.

I got about 3.5 hours with the Seidio 3800mah on auto.

Which is the size and weight?
I mention in the review - size is approximately double the thickness (perhaps very slightly more), I haven't actually weighed it, but noticeably heavier with it. Will update the review with more details when I have the battery usage screenshots for it.
Very nice review, almost pushed me to buying one to be honest.
Maybe once I build up some more money I will consider picking one up.

I've just received my Mugen battery. Currently on my first charge. The back cover is of a very high quality, even more so that the stock cover and for those wondering, the SZLF metal bumper will still fit even with the extended battery and cover.

Sent from a noob on a new note
I just got a Mugen battery a few days ago. Finished the recommended number of charging cycles and am working on (yet another) review now.
Hey guys,
Just got the mugen extended battery in the mail. Their regular shipping somehow took longer than 3 weeks and I still have not received the item, so I asked them to reship using FedEx. Guess what, it took 2 days to get to Richmond Hill, Canada, which is just north of Toronto.
Anyways, just though I'd upload some high quality pics with measurements so if any of you guys are planning on buying it, you guys have a sense of how things ll look when you get it.
Feel free to update this with your own pictures.
Update 1: More pictures of battery on phone. Post #10
________________________________________________________________________________
After using this for some times, I believe I can give a rather full rounded review of this case
Make and Looks:
After looking at the pics below, it is definitely safe to conclude that if you cannot stand additional bulk to the galaxy nexus, this extended is definitely not a recommended, as it does double the thickness of the phone. Also, this battery is not for those who are seriously concious of the way their phones look, as this is, to be honest, not the best looking extended battery pack out there.
HOWEVER, if you are like me, and enjoy funtion over form, it would be my pleasure to say that this battery is definitely recommended. The back casing of the Mugen Power battery mimicks the back of the galaxy nexus to provide users with enough grip so as to reduce the slipperiness and possibilities of drops. Also, the battery which is rated at 4000mah does add some weight to the phone, which to me is a great addition as it just feels that the phone is more secure in my hands with the added weight. The battery, when installed on the phone, depicts the resemblence of a humpback whale, which not to say is ugly in anyway, it is simply Unique. The kickstand is a bit flimsy, but that is just an additional use of the new backing to watching movies and videos, so can't complain there.Lastly, the camera holes are perfectly cut out for the 5MP camera, it does not affect picture quality in anyway, but does take away from the original good looks of the phone.
Usage
To be honest, the GNEX isn't among the top performing android handsets in the battery department. Getting through a full day with my full usage has always been a problem, no matter what brightness setting I set. Battery times for me has always been 13-16 hours with 3-4 hours standby, and that is already after using franco kernel and aokp.
Now, with the Mugen Power battery, I can say this: I have a GMAXXXXXXXXXX. The battery after 3 - 5 charge cycles is AMAZING! Unlike other cheap extended batteries, I would say that mugen lived up to their name, as this battery is more than what they described as double my battery life. With it, I get by two days with super super super heavy usage including a ton a gaming, videos, and auto-sync and wifi on 24/7. That is around 2 days 3 hours with 7-9 hours screen on with the screen at around 50% brightness!!
Would I recommend?
Yes, I would definitely recommend this extended battery to anyone out there. If the price of said Mugen Battery is within your acceptable budget limit, there is no other battery that compares to what Mugen is delivering. And as the old saying goes, "You get what you payed for".
Thanks for this, please post back your results

The seido doesnt even look good on it. try the SGP Neo Hybrid, cut the back flap off, so the battery sticks through , and that way, it looks sexy and it provides the functionality you need

What's with the lip around the back? is it because of your cut? BTW, whats the material on the back of the seido? it doesnt look plastic..is it matte or something?
Yes it's because of the cut. I could probably cut a little more to make it more streamlined.
The seidio with NFC has a soft touch battery cover. It matches the case and feels great in the hand.

I bought one of these and the Hyperion 3800 to test them out since me and the missus both have this phone. Read good and bad things about both, but most of the negatives seem to be from idiots who dont know how to put them through proper charge cycles.
Hoping they both turn out good, but for $20 each I wont complain too much if i get a lemon. Only annoying thing now is waiting for the mail redirection service since Amazon refused to ship to Australia!
I have this battery and the Seidio for my CDMA Sprint GNEX.
The Qcell is OK for what it is, cheap. I see much better battery life with the Seidio, but if I had to do it again I probably would have just stayed with the Qcell.
It's so cheap you can't go wrong.

I have this battery and I'm quite satisfied with it. It has lasted me more than a day with casual web browsing, music, and videos (WatchESPN, TwitchTV, YouTube, etc.).
It has lasted me more than two work days too. The cover is fit perfectly on my phone. It gives the back of the phone more grip.
I also got the Trexcell TPU case. Clean look and the cut outs are perfect for the buttons and ports.
The extended battery/cover adds some bulk to the phone but not that much, IMHO.
Thats nice to hear I'm going to order one myself and the Trexell case hopefully sometime next week ill do a full video review.
To all of you looking to purchase a reliable extended battery with a premium back cover and high quality cells look into this company. I purchased their battery for my galaxy s2 skyrocket and it was awesome! Not the cheapest but deff worth it guys FYI.

I agree, had them for my og Evo, extended battery was decent, but on my Epic touch it was far less than satisfying.
I am waiting on one from Gorilla gadgets, the extended battery i got for my Epic touch was good. Hopefully it will be the same with my GS3
There extended battery for my og evo worked great for almost two years. But I messed up using a rom with trickle charging. So go for the battery when it comes out, I know I will.

I agree too, their products are very reliable and the quality is superb, I bought an extended battery from them a few years ago for the Droid Inc and always got atleast 26+ hrs on it. Of course like any other battery, it too lost its juice after 2 years but I was very satisfied with its output. Right now there is no timetable on when the battery will be released (I sent Seidio an email and waiting for their response) but hopefully the battery isn't bulky enough that it sacrifices the phones' beauty.

Same issue with my friends phone.
Battery works just fine , but the cover won't click in properly.
I have one of the hyperion extended batteries, it works great but make the phone look like a turtle, spoils all the benefit of the nice slim design the note has going for it. However, it does sit better in the hand though. I use it occasionally, like on some days when I know I'll be out using my GPS and data heavily and still I have like 40% remaining. Does not double the battery life but more like 1 2/3 good thing is I can use my phone heavily for the entire day and not wonder if I will have juice remaining.
i'm planning to buy a new battery. i will remember of this 5000mah. thank you.

Tremendous Capacity! It lasts 2 days with ease (with minor use) :good:
Believe me when I say this, but this battery is DEFINITELY worth the money!
Something else that you should pay attention (very important!) is the quality of the cover, since it is unique with your battery and there is no replacement!
I used another battery like this before with a "sweat" kind of plastic cover and with no side stand. Bigger cover, more difficult to handle, which I was forced to remove afterwards, due poor quality and increased wear.
THIS SPECIFIC cover, is covered by an excellent quality and increased strength!
It is surely a good buy!
