Looking for S4 Mini third party extended batteries. - Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories

Hi
I would be very interested to know of any third-party extended batteries for the S4 mini and people's experiences of the same. I am looking to upgrade from my S2, but am waiting until there are bigger batteries available for the S4 Mini. As yet I have not seen any such batteries on ebay or the web in general.
Regards
Midgeslayer

Have a look at this. I'm sure you'll find what you need: http://www.batteryupgrade.gr/shopBrowser.php?shopGroupId=16167761#/shopGroupId/19772600

Looks like the first replacement batteries are showing up for our S4 mini. 2500mAh does not sound bad.
But does anybody know how the battery is important for NFC to work properly? There must be a reason for Samsung to write "Near Field Communication" on the original battery.
Edit:
Hm, seems like the antenna for NFC is located inside the battery. So no NFC with 3rd party replacements that do not integrate an NFC antenna.

Yes indeed. The battery holds the antenna for the NFC.

Well, there are 3rd party batts with NFC for S4 mini. I've never tested such equipment though and don't know if the NFC works at all.

In my experience, third batteries are false advertising.
I will get back with a site that measures all batteries how mah they claim and how mah they really offer.

I've ordered a 2800mAh (for use with oem battery cover) from eBay. I'll post specs and finding once I've got it...

I don't really think that you will get anything from this battery... Looking at it logically - how a battery with the same dimensions as orignal 1900mAh one can have 900mAh more? If it was possible then I thing that Samsung would do it in first place.
Just look at Galaxy S III, Samsung made a bigger battery, but it's bigger in dimensions also.

I agree, chances it it won't make any difference but for the lousy €5 I might as well try....

Depends on the quality of build... You probably heard of those cheap chinese wall chargers for iPhone, one of them even killed a person!
I other cases there is no risk, it would be just a battery with a bigger capacity.

New battery is in. Result after first full charge...13hrs and 55% left

Is that a lot or not. I mean what was your usage. If you played battery hungry games it is nice. My I9195 is on battery for 2 days and 3 hours normal use ( nothing too draining ) and I still hace 34 %.

not bad! :laugh: how about time with screen on? tell us more details!

I hadn't used it very intensively. Just browsing, email, facebook and such. Just after I posted though percentage dropped to 34 within an hour. Also experienced a lot of lags and freezes yesterday. Not sure whether its the battery but that's the only thing I changed. I'm back to the OEM battery now to see if the lags are gone now. Usually I end up with 20 to 25% after a full days normal use, which isn't that bad so if the new battery doesn't turn out to be a success, no harm done really.

Best stock size battery

Exactly as the title suggests I'm looking for everyone's opinion on the best stock size battery for the Note. I've been using the Mugen battery but at times the bulk seems too much and I'm interested in trying something stock size that gets me at least a little better than stock battery performance.
Thoughts, opinions, experiences?

it is too expensive? any cheap battery for extend battery life of galaxy Note
I use the "golden battery", the sticker on it says 3250 mAh.. and that power stays at the sticker. It is roughly as good or just a tiny bit better than stock battery.
I get 3 hours 10 minutes maybe 20 minutes less or more each day of screen time on weekdays with stock battery. Let's use this as a standard for me.
With gold battery I get 3 hours and 40 minutes with a variation of 30 minutes more or less.
So it doesn't last 30% more as the sticker suggests.. but meh it lasts as much or a little bit more so I am not bothered with a 15 doller battery I can carry in my wallet as a backup

I got a 2700mAh Anker off Amazon that BMW Pro is now estimating to be 2983mAh

Also, it seems to handle charge/discharge better, it doesn't get as hot as stock under load.
Sent from my BBP
I was thinking about it, and it seems plausible that the best stock sized battery for this phone at this moment would be a 2700mah one. If you look at it, the Mugen 5400mah extended battery is just 2, 2700mah batteries linked together.
Until a revolution in batteries is made, I don't think we'll get a stock sized one with a better mileage .
different capacity with stock size battery
It's mean the concentration become higher...
just wondering.
you know the anker charger that comes with the bundle if you buy 2 anker 2700 batteries?
does it charge the stock battery as well?
im assuming it does cuz the batteries are the same size (right?)
just wanting to make sure.
cheers.

Received 4300 and 4800 mAh battery

Now I'm testing this battery. Original thread in this forum (spanish) http://www.todoradares.com/foro/bater-4300-mah-samung-galaxy-t22247.html
At the moment I have not done any charge.
After the first full charge and discharge I will upload screenshots from battery reports.
At the moment, usage is 15h and 9 minutes (normal usage) and consumed 46%
Stock ALF2 rom and cf-root.
Of course, nfc is not available

Extended Battery
The battery seems to be quite bulky. How much did u bought it for?
Ebay 12,99 euro
Yeah it's a bit bulky
I'm using a 3600 battery replacement in my old x10 with feralab rom and the battery usage is 5 days powering off phone at night.
wow that's big..
Yes, but believe me. It's more easier to hold the phone now with one hand.
Sorry, I like more a better battery than design.
At the moment. Battery stays at 3% from two hours ago, using opera mobile with H+.
Needs a little calibration
How much will battery life improve over stock battery?

No. As you can see in pictures, this battery is more bigger than original battery and needs a bigger cover.
But only for the rear cover. The battery fits correctly in his place.
Can you post measurements of the battery? (ie depth of battery and depth of phone with battery inserted).
The only reason I ask is because I ordered a 3600mAh version from ebay (thought it might be a bit slimer, for all it's worth... ;-) ) and the pictures used show some measurements.
See this url for an example:
**** sorry - can't post external links yet - not enough posts... ****
Search for "Galaxy s3 3600mah" in ebay and you'll find a few posts - the user I bought from is called "hightechhk-com"
(h**p://***.ebay.co.uk/itm/3600mAh-Extended-Battery-White-Door-Cover-for-Samsung-i9300-Galaxy-S3-III-New-/261045894976?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cc78c3f40)
From quick observation they look very similar.
Also, how doea the back cover fit? Doubt it's up to the quality of the original (or is it?)
As soon as mine arrives i'll let you know how they perform.
Cheers
Good stuff. Please do a comparison step by step to the original one, as in exactly the same daily use and turn off at night if you do with both. Its interesting, I wouldn't buy it myself but I always wonder if these batteries are not that well made than original.

Now, I can't. I'm testing it now. After first full charge I will post screenshots from battery stats. It's too early to say anything.
Please, be patient. Thank you.
I know that these batteries are made with a lower quality. But i'm sure that these batteries doesn't break your phone (tested in x10). I've heard something about gold batteries, but this battery is not a gold manufactured battery. It's from another manufacturer.
Good stuff. Let us know how you get on

I always use the supplied wall charger that comes with these so Idk, lots of the extended battery reviews on here are the same voltage & they seem to be doing pretty good.
It's not the charger which matters but the phone itself which charges the battery, it's aiming for 4.3V as that's what it thinks it should have as the stock battery is designed for that. Although I haven't heard a single case of these 4.2V batteries having problems with being charged with 4.3V, that last part can be changed in the kernel and the charger chip driver. I'm getting some knock-off cheap battery myself so I'll see how it goes. This particular one seems quite steep in price @ $30, with proven ones like the PolarCell 2400mAh going out for half the cost.
you won't see the affect right away from overcharging. I use to play with a lot of batteries from RC, overcharging something we use to do get slight edge and boost at start. but it does have long term damage to batteries, specially lithium based. some cheaper batteries even catch fire.
Alright guys, got the batteries in the mail today, charging one & will report back later

Li-ion batteries have an overcharge protection circuit built into the battery pack itself and should prevent this from happening. If everything is working as intended, it should be impossible for the phone to overcharge a battery. That's not to say the protection circuit couldn't fail itself.
And I too played with RC batteries and you really can't compare those batteries with these. Different types of battery with different methods of charging.

Highest slim battery in the world for i9300? 2980mAh Battery X-Level

So I was going through eBay AU and I found this 2980mAh battery at 3.8V by a company called X-Level (not sure if it is by X-Level but this but check it out!) and I wanted to share this with you guys.
Here's the link -

I'm also going to compare it to another 3rd party battery (with no brand, *l'll post link of this as well below) that is 2300 mAh battery at 3.7V. Has anyone tried this yet?

You'd think at some point people would quit falling for these scams, but I guess not. There's no magical battery technology out there that allows a manufacturer to pack more capacity in the same size space.

Companies have been working on better battery technology and it shouldn't be much longer before they start showing up for sale to consumers. That said, this isn't anything more than a cheap knockoff with a different label.

Completely forgot about this thread, my apologies. However after usage I can tell you that this may be a very good alternative to stock, cheaper, whilst offering similar performance. Definitely not 2980 mAh though, however it is not a terrible purchase for $10.
Also the battery seems to fall out very easy when you take the back cover off, it does not fit snugly.

Extended battery with factory footprint?

Anyone know of a reputable extended battery that fits with the standard battery door? I don't need much more...maybe 4000mah or so would get it to go all day with how I use it. 6400 and 9000ish are way more than I need and I'm not interested in doubling (at least) the thickness of the phone. Saw one on some chinese website at 3500mah, but pretty sure I don't trust it. I have the zerolemon replacements and I swap out as I go, but I don't like carrying them with me. I like to travel light. Thanks.
Im curious to know this too.
Ive had bad experiences with buying extended, but similar to stock size batteries. They tend to actually be lower capacity than stock... cheap pieces of crap with false labels. (Ex: my old phone's battery was 1650mAh. I bought three different 2000mAh batteries over the phone's lifetime. One was actually 800mAh, one was 1000mAh, and one was something around 900mAh.)

3 ways.
First, there was the fact that my phone went from 8hrs of typical usage to only 4hrs with same usage patterns and ROM.
EDIT: I had a Hyperion battery and it actually only gave me 3hrs!!!!! I also had a Bluegate Kobe and it only gave me 4. The third battery was an EVO and it gave me about 6, but it wasn't as good as stock.
A second way was that I used an app to measure my mAh (don't have the app name right now. Not installed now and can't find it, but it's a popular one).
EDIT: The app was Battery Monitor Widget. I used the stock battery first to get a base mAh based on my actual usage over a week. Then used the 3rd party batteries and did the same. The 3rd party batteries came out to be FAR less mAh than stock.
The third way only applies to one of the batteries (EDIT: The Hyperion I had). I removed the label and printed on the actual battery under the label was the true mAh, which was half of what the label said. (The sticker said 2200mAh, but the battery said 1100mAh)
Plus all the labels were cheap stickers. The batteries looked more legit online than they dI'd in person. In person, they look homemade and felt lighter than the stock battery. (MUCH lighter).
EDIT: To be clear, all of this was with my old phone, a Galaxy S2.
Also, that Battery Monitor Widget app didn't seem to work with the OGP, which is why I don't have it installed still.

The standard one isn't an extended battery though. It has the same mAh as stock.
EDIT: and the other Zero Lemon (9300mAh) requires a special back cover and makes the phone too thick. Like PS Vita thick!
This forum was made by the OP because they were looking for an extended battery that can use the stock back cover. ;]

The standard one isn't an extended battery though. It has the same mAh than stock.

I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Ontrion-Premium-Battery-Optimus-Pro/dp/tech-data/B00E4WUUUA/ref=de_a_smtd
Manufacturer's website:
http://www.ontrion.com/category_s/3020.htm
Only thing is that they claim it'll last longer than stock (3140mAh), but it's only 2100mAh.
It makes me suspicious because if my past experiences and because my understanding of batteries is that higher mAh = more power.

I don't know anything if you are not liking ZeroLemon. Me myself, is using Zerolemon and that's the best extended battery I have so far.

And my phone is no thicker than my dad's with his rugged case. A bit thicker since I made a flip case work with it.

" they claim it'll last longer than stock (3140mAh), but it's only 2100mAh."
That's one tip-off that there's something wrong here.
The other biggie is that they say the battery is FCC Approved. Which sounds real important, except, the FCC doesn't "approve" batteries in any way I've ever heard of.
The battery business is infamous for outright fakes, counterfeits, and junk. It isn't easy to get real prime-quality products at good prices. And the stuff from unknown vendors? Really, how many reports of battery fires and explosions does it take to make anyone worry about leaving a no-name battery or a no-name-source battery charging while you sleep?
I'd rather carry a hot-shot (USB battery) charger around "just in case".
