Does anyone know where to get standard replacement batteries for these? I always like to carry a spare battery with me but can't seem to find anyone who carries 'em at this point..
Thanks

seidio just released their 1650 mAh

I ordered one in hopes that it'll be better than the OE...
awesome, I just ordered one also
Thank You!
sprint sells a extended battery 2200 with raised battery cover back.
$69 without shipping / taxes.
Definitely let us know what you can tell from using it. The battery life is one thing I would definitely like to improve on the mogul.

I got mine from Seidio on Monday; not a miracle battery but definitley better life than OEM. If you don't like the hunch-back look and want a second battery this is the way to go. I would extimate that it is giving me roughly 10% better life as they advertise.

Seidio battery may give a smidge more life; build is pretty poor though, and seems to be made of some paper-like or cardboard/plastic material, covered with not very well-fitting cellophane. If you never remove your battery, may not be an issue, but I suspect this one wouldn't take very many change-outs without getting rather worn. Also seems like it heats up a bit more...

Have anyone buy from here

Their batteries are pretty cheap. Rating from Reseller Rating is quite good too.
I am using 2 of these and they work real nice, very high quality batteries comes sealed in shrink wrap plastic which prevents air and moisture from getting into these batteries that kills it's ultimate capacity. Lasts longer than my original one from sprint... I tried those cheap $10 or less batteries before and their capacity fluctuate wildly, don't get those, these are nice, check out my rating:

So, XDA forum member nvgear bought batteries from eBay seller nv_gear? ... Did you get a discount?
Hi...
I need a couple of new high capacity batteries with a high mAh rating.
Do any of you have info on the best place to buy ?
Id rather purchase from a European vendor but will consider importing worldwide.
TIA.
Regards,
Mark.
i just bought a 3600mAh mugen off ebay. works great my first week using it. i get between a 1.5 and 2 days of usage where previously, i'd be dead by 9pm of day 1.
what size battery is that ?
I forgot to mention that I need a regular sized battery, IE one without a new battery cover.
...so it fits into my case.
If it is regular size, what's the name of the ebay seller ?
TIA.
Mark.

How's that 3600mAh battery working out? Where did you purchase it?
Seem seidio is selling 3200mah batteries now too.
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=1200
and i was so hopeful with the ebay batteries
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.
DealExtreme now have a 3500 mAh battery with cover Link
However I don't think it's 3500 mAh and the quality is probably low and it wont be water resitance because it miss the extra internal cover for the battery.
there is such topic already, and this battery is the same, that already more than month selling on ebay
It's thicker than stock. I have ordered one similar to that as well. Just waiting on it to arrive. There is another topic here that is already about extended batteries for the defy. Your link does include the rear battery cover. However, I would not try and dip that in water unless you put some kind of waterproofing on the replacement back cover. Getting better battery life for cheap does have its disadvantages as well. Unless some company makes one that retains water resistance with a large battery and replacement back cover.

Oh it exist a topic like that already. I missed the "Extended Battery Idea" topic ._.
Anyway Dealextreme is a more know seller then ebay sellers so I would go for Dealextreme insted of ebay.
agree, i might consider the larger battery
This is really interesting! I want one too but if any of you were to buy it, i would be cautious since dealxtreme is known for having cheap chinese made products, theres an american company i found online that sells this battery: http://www.wirelessground.com/motorola-defy-extended-high-capacity-battery.html just sayin
Another dealextreme 3500mAh
Now there's also this one:
dealextreme.com/p/3500mah-rechargeable-extended-battery-pack-cover-for-motorola-mb525-73564 - 3500mAh Rechargeable Extended Battery Pack + Cover for Motorola MB525
In addition to the previous
dealextreme.com/p/replacement-3-7v-3500mah-battery-pack-with-back-case-for-motorola-defy-me525-mb525-bf5x-90589 - Replacement 3.7V/3500mAh Battery Pack with Back Case for Motorola Defy ME525/MB525/BF5X
Both back cases have no waterproofing. As (remaining) capacity is probably more related to age of the battery than to price; I would pick the newer white one. Anyway, you only loose $11 instead of ~$30 for the ebay options.
I just got a D.Seven extended battery for US$13
Its more than double the thickness of a normal battery, comes with an extra cover which makes you lose the waterproofness....and my shell doesnt fit now, the phone is now damn bulky...
Dont think i'll be using it anytime soon, unless going camping or something
Iit would have created a smaller battery

Hi.
And what about the battery life ? Huge improvement ? Or insignificant ? Thx for the test.
It would be so uncomfortable to carry it after using this battery.
so....is it works?
at least should have double time usage with this battery....
... right?
I tested my D.Seven 3000ma battery....battery life increased by 20 - 30% only...
I want bigger battery for my Note2, but only quality battery l found is 6000mAh with battery door, which made from Note2 2cm thickness ugly beast.
Existing some (REAL) 4000-4500mAh with battery door which made Note2 maximum 1,3-1,4cm thickness?

There is a source I just found for 4200 mAh battery which supposed to be the same dimensions as OEM 3100 mAh battery. I'm waiting to receive it in a few weeks from HK ($8.99 shipped) and will review and report about its actual capacity. It shouldn't be less than 3100 mAh, I hope, and if it really can deliver 4200 mAh - that would be awesome while keeping original battery door and whatever case you are using now.
In case you're wondering what you might get one of these, just search ebay for 4250 mah note2 gold. Whoever in Cina makes these, makes them for a lot of brands.

The problem is when you search on ebay you get only 2 choices, one for $25 and another one for $35. And although picture shows a battery with Note 2 label, it has 4 contacts instead of 3 contacts like on OEM battery. I have no idea what they are selling. The one I'm getting is labeled as 4200 mAh Gold model and for a fraction of the price, it has correct 3 contacts and even water damage indicator. But I have no idea about its quality or the actual capacity until I get it. If its everything I expect, I will review and post a link to it.

Lots of reviews on XDA not just for the note 2 but lots of batteries.
Regardless of it being made in China or not, there are lots of scams out there. Batteries that hold more charge must be physically larger, it's a matter of physics, unless if you are buying a battery with some very advanced rechargeable battery tech, but most batteries are li-pol or li-ion and basically in order to have more charge you need more cells, which = bigger battery.
Anyone selling a "extended" battery that is the same size is lying.
The Gold batteries are good quality OEM size batteries, but they won't hold more charge

Yeah, you are absolutely right. I'm not being naive about it, just hoping that perhaps they were able to increase cell density, somehow?!? I'm not holding my breath it will be 50% increase or so. In my previous Droid X I had original OEM 1500 mAh battery. Then, after 3 months Motorola came up with 1850 mAh extended battery in the same form factor (even so they offered a new battery cover, it was just a hair thicker and fit original battery cover perfectly). And that one was a significant improvement over original capacity. So, I'm just hoping that someone was able to push an envelope to increase density to give at least 20%-25% boost without sacrificing the size. As much as I'm enjoying my current test of Seidio Innocell (4500 mAh) with ACTIVE Extended case, I miss my slim fit UAG case

Go to this thread and go down to post 9. I posted my experience with a "gold battery" only to find out the label was just a print to scam buyers. Not only that, the battery never worked and when I was charging it, it started getting dangerously hot.
All in all, stick with branded items that have a good reputation. I paid $675 outright for my phone, and will spend $5 more for the branded battery to keep my pocket from bursting. Also, the external battery charger that come with Hyperion and Onite batteries output .350 A +- .05A so it will slow charge a battery overnight, keeping your battery at its peak life for a longer amount of time.
Hy did anyone bought this battery from Ebay and has some experiences ?
It's declared 2500 mah and I dont this is generic Chinese battery like Gold batteries,do you thinks it provides real 2500 mah ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181138474411?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Are there any extended batteries for LG 4X like 2500-2600-2700 mah batteries ?

I'd like to know if this battery is any better than the stock one, too.
I like that you don't need a larger back cover with this ebay one.... Anyone any experience with this battery? Also, with the larger batteries that DO require an extended back cover, how is NFC affected?
NFC won't work, because NFC antenna is in the original back cover.

you actually get nfc antenna included in custom cover, for example see here:

There are varieties of extra capacity batteries for 4X, up to 4800 mAh @ 3.7V, but most require some custom back cover which usually doesn't include NFC anntena, and the true capacity is in question as is the quality (longevity) of these batts. Mugen's deal is genuine (from various reviews and remarks), the back cover has NFC, but the price is just insane, $90 for the cover and battery! And they're not that great:

Yeah, I'm thinking the $90 for a freaking battery is way overkill on the price tag. Unless that thing had a mini-arc reactor that can power the phone for a whole year without any slowdown, then the price is warranted. I've switched my original battery for the Onite 4800mAH and the performance is just about as impressive as the touted Mugen one for more than half of the Mugen price. Average non-heavy use on a single charge goes up to at least 2 to 2.5 full days to reach zero charge.
I've also played around batteries of varying sized from the gold 2450mAH up to the 4800mAH that I now use and I have noticed that depending on which battery you use, the phone either heats up insanely fast or rarely heats up at all. The gold 2450mAH battery I have has just as much of a pitiful charge as the original battery that came with the phone but for some reason, the recorded temp rarely strays between 77°f to 88°f at it's lightest and heaviest usage. The 4300mAH battery also shows the same readings as the gold battery. The Onite one I have that is 4800mAH is almost as normal as the original battery - in that it's temp rises depending on usage from 77°f up to 110°f (110°f at the worst without any throttling at all, graphite heat sink pad included). I have no idea why that is, but if someone here can explain, please do so.
As for NFC, I barely use it at all, but I do have more than one back cover that includes the NFC antenna for extended batteries if I ever feel the need to use NFC.

A larger capacity battery without larger backcover is impossible. The capacity of a battery is directly related to it's size (using same technology). Without using a physically bigger battery it's not possible to get more capacity, unless they invent a new technology. Maybe they can squize a few more mAh in there, but that's it.
So if you want a significantly larger capacity, you have to have a battery that,s substantialy bigger and therefore require a different back-cover.

Because the back of the case is made of plastic and is not thin. Is there a similar case for the 4500 mah battery?

And its cheaper than Aku,what do you think ? I have two 1800 mah golden batteries,one doesnt work and I plan to order stronger battery for daily use and leave stock and gold for backup
I can recommend this battery it gives more time of use

keep us updated
Got the battery yesterday, I'm fully charging it as we speak in an external charger. The battery itself is massive and heavy (you would think it was actually 5000mah just by visually inspecting). I will update and post back after I put it in. The back cover fits perfectly and tightly, pleasantly surprised about that.
My last extended bat was on my my touch 4g, so I have experience with them. Let's see how this pans out!
