3000mAh battery for our vibrants for around $22
Found this a few days ago, ordered one, and am completely happy with it. Battery life is excellent and the extended door fits well. The bump takes a bit to get used to.
Just to be clear I am not selling these and have no affiliation with the seller. Just putting it out there

Yep - tested and works great. I used to get 8 hours of heavy use from the stock battery - now I am getting about 15 hrs of heavy use. Only 1 charge a day works for me.

So the 3000 mAh for sure works with the vibrant.
How about this 3500 one?
Also, how much thicker does it make the phone?

I haven't found any cases yet for the extended battery.
PS. These cases are for the i9000....and the camera position is the same at the vibrants/
what about the speakers?
So neither the camera nor the speakers are covered up by these extended batteries and cases?

The 3500mAh looks to be built into the back cover. A little weird. The 3000 mAh works great. I just ordered 2 more from the link above for 7.99. I paid 22 for my first one because I don't like to wait, but the ones I just ordered look like they are the same. They should work fine

STOP THAT! You are doing harm to your battery by "reconditioning", fully discharging this type of battery is one of the wort things you can do to them. Four times? No wonder it doesn't last long, you probably did permanent damage already.
Try to never let your battery drop below 30%, li-ion batteries suffer if you do. When you flash a new ROM just make sure the battery is at 100% when you flash it, and if you want wipe the battery stats to calibrate the phone, thats it.

How much thicker do these cases make my vibrant?
And I'm guessing my body cover (its like a glove) on the vibrant wont work with these big cases now?

As long as you can avoid it. It's a shame that so many people keep spreading that bad information in guides and such. Deep cycling batteries only worked for old technology that would hold a memory. Li-Ion batteries are at their happiest at about 85% charge.
So im in the market for a new battery. A higher capacity one but slimline. I do not want a different size battery door. Anybody know of any good ones for a decent price?
Great question. I'm wondering the same thing.
I bought this one. I had to wait a month for it since is came from Hong Kong. I can get ~16 hours running the screen at 80% brightness, texting alot, 3g radio always on, constantly checking email. No complaints other than the time it took to ship.

I was sceptical but the reviews swayed me and I tried these- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XOUM12
I'm pleasantly surprised, I notice a definite difference in battery life and the wall charger is a bonus. For the price it's hard to beat and delivery was within a week.

Personally I have found these batteries no better than the stock htc red. With juice defender I get fair batt life with either...10-16 hours or so. I do find the wall charger useful as the battery never gets fully charged when charging in the phone.
There are no slim batteries that are better than stock, the only thing to increase your battery is to add a few millimeters oh my god, to your phone and get a 3500 you won't be disappointed, and yes like someone already said, use the search button next time this must be my like 6th time answering this question muskeg let alone if someone else did too, which I feel has happened too

I have the 2000mah battery and its marginally better than my OEM battery.
The Seidio stock size extended battery sucks. Doesn't even charge past 90% anymore, and I didn't really notice a difference.

The Best Buy battery isn't a Seidio knock-off - it IS a Seidio battery that they package for Best Buy.

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

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.
Hi All,
I am unable to find "Samsung 2000 mAh original battery with back cover"i.e.EB-K1A2EBEGSTD in India. Any attempts to search the product online leads me to links which are dead or have the product as out of stock. There was just one link which was selling it but it was from UK and the overall expense was 42 pounds which is more than 3k in INR. I do not think the original product costs that much.
Tried to search on XDA with no success.
Any information on shops/dealers/online links would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have read here on xda that usually its not of 3500mah, it's much lesser. To top that, it makes the phone quite bulky. So the optimum limit I found was 2000mah with extended back panel which doesn't screw up s2's looks

As it is Chinese battery I don't expect it to be real 3500 mah, but even if it's turned out to be 2500+, I will be really happy. After a full discharge and full charge I m using it first time. 15 hours and I am at 83% with not much of use, I guess almost an hr screen time.
Will report a proper usage after few days and few charge cycles.

It fits :highfive:
How has the performance been? Reason I ask is many of the cheaper "replacement" batteries usually crap out either in a month of so, or stop charging to 100% all together. Also, why the heck is it so hard to find a OEM Samsung battery (EB-L1F2HVU in US or HVK in Korea) for this phone. I can easily find the shorter battery for the Verizon phone (SCH-I515), but almost nothing (unless you want to pay over $60) for the GT-I9250M phone.
Unless you can read Korean and order the OEM larger 2000 mAh battery (EB-L1F2KVK) directly the majority of us are out of luck.
Where's a good place to buy original Samsung one for cheap?
I found an 2450 mah battery which claimed to fit with the stock battery cover. But I read that its actually worse than stock battery and if you remove the seal around the battery it actually shows a lower mah.. That were reviews for the s2 version but I think it applies to that one too . Ive seen several 2300 mah batterys that claimed the same but assumed it was the same story..
