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 ordered one of those UK 2500 mAh Batterys on Ebay.
Let's see what they're worth

My battery life after updating to 2.3.3 is better without root, than it was with root and no bloatware on 2.3.2.

Another reason why I am anxious for my R800x root.
Is there an extended battery bigger than the 1800 one that will fit with the stock back?

Allright
Review so far:
2500 mAh as promised
bigger backcase (Love the feeling!)
Battery itself is ROBUST if i might say that.
This thing got real quality!
It's the 'Cameron Sino' Rechargable Battery
CS-ER800BL
Was worth the buy imo!
(even if my 'new' xplay case doesnt fit now xD

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.

For a price of $119.95..Unfortunately out of stock..but a may 25th date has been set as the shipping date..Anybody want the "Extra Strong Extended Replacement Battery..w/ 2.55x the stock battery life"..sounds pretty damn nice!
That's more than I paid for my atrix!
hard to tell from such a small picture... but that looks like a remarkably crappy battery door....
4800? holy ****

Wow,
Man, that's ginormous. I like that this phone's battery lasts almost a good 24hrs with solid use. My Evo would last that long if I barely used it lol. Oh and my girlfriend's Inspire! Forget about it, lol.
Overall, I'm happy with the battery life now and can't imagine how long something that large would last.

That thing is horrendous. I get decent battery life out of the stock battery. I think it'd be more economical to just get an additional OEM battery and carry that in your pocket, not that behemoth!
the real mAH is prob much lower than 4800. And for the price and size, Id rather tape on two spare batteries to my phone

I woudnt want to imagine how the extended battery would work for the atrix...
check out this video of the samsung galaxy s with an extended 3200mah battery... makes the phone look like the size of a old school ipod...

not to mention an extended battery for the Atrix. would probably make the fingerprint reader harder to use.

Yea. Actually took the case and cover off my phone after reading that little bit. Didn't remember the battery being right at the base of the fingerprint reader. So using a seriously big battery would make that kinda pointless.... since not only would it be hard to reach, but they'd have to design some crazy cover to even get it to work.
I bought one of these and so far NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!?
Is there something I need to do so Android understands it has more capacity, or does it just s*ck? I was also wondering if others have similar experience.

Some devices will only recalibrate the battery meter when the battery gets completely (or almost completely) discharged and THEN fully recharged. Don't know if that's the case with Atrix, but it's worth a try.
I just received mine too. Will be trying it out later tonight. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I Have bought other with 2400mAh and in reality it last's a bit LESS then the original, i use it only as backup.
Made in china ,poor quality . . .Thumbs Down .
No chinese electronics Plz
Better go for the original battery EB504465VU, I even learnt from the forum that the extended battery last shorter than that of the genuine one
But if you got some xtra money you could always experiment and let others know of it.

if i were you i wudnt take it.........
some news?
I saw Kyrillos' post somewhere that the battery was a fake and his money was refunded.
Is there much difference between the two? Currently have the Ankher, thinking of getting the official extended battery.
Is there much point?
Over 2000 posts and yet can't figure out the search button......there's numerous threads on these batteries if you'd actually bothered to look.....

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
Yep, my phone is melted down. Totaly busted. Went red, then melted. Really ****ing awesome.
Got a picture?
That happened to a friend of mine... Have you got pictures?
Lol, well. Let's put it this way, my picture taking device is now debris. I'll try and take a picture with a friends camera.
I only have 2000 mAh and my phone lasts for 2 days with moderate use running on stock is it just an average?
Wow that sucks. Any idea what brand or was it a non-brand item? If you have any details maybe post them so people stay away
wow, This was an original bettery?
Man that sucks, please link to the item and some picture would be nice, so nobody else`s phone suffers the same fate
is it this battery?
Thats why you shouldn't skimp out when it comes to batteries.

BTW, the acid that came out of the battery burned my floor and my cloths!

the battery you have in that picture is the exact same one ive had in the past, i never experienced any issues other than after approx 75 charges the battery was down to around 75% capacity, i agree with thewizard you get a much better grip with it on. it could just have been a random faulty battery but it definitely sucks that it screwed the phone up. Ive never come across a perfect solution for upgraded batteries, i went from the above mentioned to the gold 2000 mah battery and to be honest was no better than the original but cost me £10 to find out lol

Yeah the OFFICIAL 2000mah battery from Samsung
Either get(or should have gotten) the anker battery or the mugen 3600 battery. When it comes to a £500 device, then spending £10 or £70 is more than suitable.
Have a good day.
PS: Really sorry about your device..
i was so close to buying this batter just now
thanks for the heads up
and im sorry for your loss
Av been using the anker one that comes with the charger so far so good.
iv been using the 3500battery for a few weeks now in some extreme conditions and haven't had any problems.
Im feeling a bit worried now took me a while to save up for my s2.
Never buy these cheap battery's..only buy from mugen seido or anker all others are junk and have much less capacity then advertised
