Has anyone else had problems using the extended batteries, I bought a 3600mAh one to replace the standard 1300mAh one but the battery doesn't last any longer whatsoever!

Decided that instead of an upgrade to my phone, a new battery will eek out some more life from this one. What's the biggest capacity battery that has ZERO size issues fitting in the mogul? It's a Sprint model if that matters.
Thanks!
Fits perfectly? Do you mean no extended case?
biggest mah battery
The biggest mah battery that I have seen that fits in without te bigger back door is this one

They also have the most powerfull one, 3600mah and that comes with a new battery door.

Kind of expensive IMHO. I would go on ebay (like I did) and buy one there for 10 - 15 bucks depending on which one. Make sure it states 'new' and gives the mah rating. some batteries say bigger capacity but don't tell you anything about the rating.... There are 3000 mah extended with a door for 12.99 free shipping. Even the label on the battery is the same as OEM except the actual logo....
yeah 1 already buy extended battery the price around 12 usd, shipped from Hongkong.
i think the battery capacity not 3000mah (even in spec said so) i just feel little enhancement from my previous battery
maybe if you want to buy extended battery, try to buy mugen the original one.
For posterity I wanted to point some readers to batteryboss.org
Reviews batteries and there are a lot of scammers out there.
Has anyone bought a higher capacity battery and found it to be good?
I've seen some 1500mAH batteries very cheap but have seen people reviewing them saying they are don't last as long as the 1230mAH HTC battery due to being bad quality.
Is there a good quality 1500 (or higher) capacity battery around - one that doesn't make the phone fat and ugly?

I would also like to know this. When I had a Vibrant 3g, I was able to buy an oem vibrant 4g battery for $20 and it was 150 maH bigger, but same physical size and voltage. Worked great. I know there are extended batteries, but they are usually bulky. I have found that aftermarket slim extended batteries are worthless, and often perform less than the stock one. I even bought a mugen slim extended battery for my Mytouch 4g and at first it was phenominal. But within the first 4 full cycles, it was performing at 60% what my stock battery did. I reconditioned it, reflashed the rom from a full charge, etc. Surprised me, cuz mugen gets a lot of good reviews. Best bet is to get a power skin, or get a bulky extended battery. Power skin is bulky, but it's a uniform bulkiness, so not as awkward as the bulge of a standard extended battery. Hope this helps.
i have a droid 3, and to use an extended battery like that (goo.gl/6RJw1) i need to have a special case or i can just put it instead of the stock battery?

The Motorola official extended battery is physically thicker, and normally requires a special door -- and this extra door makes it not fit most cases, or into the car or multimedia dock very well.
That said, there is a very simple solution I have been using for ~13 months... I didn't use the modified door. I put the battery in, and I put my case on, without the battery door. The extra thickness of the battery itself is the same thickness as the door adds, so the official hardbody Motorola case fits perfectly. I have *never* had a problem with the battery falling out or losing contact. As a plus, the multimedia dock comes with a removable insert to accommodate the official hardbody case -- and since the case has a flat back, the car dock has no issues, either.

Anyone ever use one of those 2600mAh extended batteries that sell for about $6 on ebay??
I want to get an extended battery but I hate how it makes the phone loon and that hump it gives it,just feels weird.Those 3500mAh batteries wont work for me,so I was thinking maybe the 2600mAh versions would be ok...

I have a 1930mAh BFX6 battery and it only JUST fits. One of the edges can't close 100% so there's a 0.1mm gap. Might differ between droid 3 models, that small of a gap.
But if the battery would be any thicker than the 1930 one it won't fit the stock cover
any extended battery for honor holly suggestion ......thanks in advance
I'm looking for a reliable battery with extended capacity that still fits in the stock back. Does anyone have a recommendation? Definitely don't want one of the fatter back covers.

Get one of these spare battery and charging stations. The Samsung EB-K800BUWE
I found one a while back on ebay for $30 with the oem battery! You'll never need to plug your phone in again! You can even charge this in your car.
I've been searching for a spare battery for weeks now since the G4 has been out and I've been a little skeptical of buying one from off of eBay and Amazon ( knock offs ). Finally Hyperion has manufactured spare batteries and extended batteries for our G4. I'm going the two spares with wall charger for $99 instead of the extended battery and case. I have used batteries from Hyperion from my Galaxy Note 2 up to my retired Galaxy Note 3 and they have always been better than OEM.

Honestly, just wait. These will be $30 for the set in no time. $99 is WAY too much for non-OEM batteries.
Definitely wait. They WILL drop in price. The extended battery for the G3 was going for $30 when I bought it. Third party standard batteries easily go for 2 for $30 with an included charger. It's nice to see that they're including NFC this time. Wireless charging would be cool, too, but I'll live. Had the Mugen back with qi for the G3 and 6000 mAh is just way too much for a wireless charger to handle. It often wouldn't even get filled overnight.
My G3 extended battery actually became defective recently (it's swollen). Hyperion asked if I wanted a replacement for the G3 or if I didn't mind waiting for it to be released on the G4 so fingers crossed they contact me soon! I think I got so used to having an extended battery with the G3 that the G4 battery life just feels terrible. I'll miss the feel of my leather, but I did like the rounded shape of the G3 with the extended battery.
I thought NFC was built into the battery covers, which is why we need to peel it off in order to get the wireless charging + NFC to work when getting those stickers.

An extended battery doesn't have the stock battery cover. Hyperion's extended G3 battery back cover did not include NFC.

TBH i had bad experience with hyperion batteries, so I only buy from either zerolemon or anker. I also contacted zerolemon and they will going to release the 9000mah extended battery pretty soon.

ZeroLemon products are so ugly, though. =/
Mugen should hopefully have an extended battery coming at some point.
Has anybody tested these batteries? I just ordered the Hyperion offer. I couldn't wait for the promo to come through.

6000 mAh battery on my G3 has gotten me SOT of nearly ten hours.
