Found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Extended-Batter...Accessories?hash=item3caa886764#ht_1708wt_899 The door looks kinda weird if you ask me
I have the siedio 3500mha battery I wonder if that door would fit it..
I wouldnt get that huge battery/cover for only 400 more mah... There is a thread on here now that is for the touchpro2 battery that will fit our phones. ITs 2000mah and 10 bucks shipped. Cant go wrong brah. and it keeps the stock door. Now I would settle for a bigger door for a 3500mah battery.

I've been using the Andida 2000mah battery for the last week now...and it's not really that good. I don't even know if I'm getting any better life out of it than out of the stock battery. You having a better experience?
Damn haha that is NOT what I wanted to hear brah. I ahve not got mine yet..
what rom are you running.
Too bad that extended door is so fugly and...well... huge.
I bought an external charger for $5 and one of the $10 Hong Kong batteries. Even if the performance isn't better than stock, I will have an extra charged battery I can bring with to work and swap out when it gets low.

I'm running Fresh 1.1 with Gumbo's kernel and SetCPU "ondemand". I've used the phone pretty light/moderate today...Up time is at 12 hours and 36 minutes, Awake time is at 3 hours and 36 minutes, and battery percent is at 30 percent. Seems to be just like my stock battery. I'm a give it a few more days of observation before I make any final judgements. Hope that helps!
hey can ya give me link to that kernal? isnt that for better battery life and faster phone? Whats this setCPU?

Search the forum for Gumbo Kernel....it's probably on the first 3 or 4 pages of the forum. SetCPU is a paid app in the market for root users. You buy it and set it up as stated in the Gumbo Kernel thread. It scales your processor to use only what it needs...this way it saves battery when you're phone's sleeping, because it's sleeping at 160mhz instead of 540mhz or whatever. Then when you wake the phone up the batter scales up to 540mhz. It saves a ton of battery and helps with performance. It's totally worth the 99 cents. Hope that helps!

Let me summarize the whole thread for you: This is all you need to know:
Just download the zip file from the first post of the thread...put it on the root of your SD card....boot into recovery mode (ie: turn off your phone and turn it on holding power and home button at the same time), and click flash zip. Select the Gumbo Kernel Zip and flash it. (If you've never flashed anything before, than you are right, you have some reading to do. If you have...you'll know what I'm talking about).
Once it's done flashing, reboot your phone.
Then download SetCPU from the market. Open it, click menu, select Hero/Tatoo from the list of devices...then adjust the sliders to Max 540mhz, Min 160mhz. Then check the little box that says Set At Boot.
There you go...all done! you should have great battery life now! Like, WAY better than stock!
God bless!

I was wondering if anyone has spotted a extended battery for the magic/ion yet? I should be getting my Ion any day and I'd love to have one. I've found no useful results on google.
The device is only a few weeks old, so don't expect to see one for maybe another month or 2.
Actually now that I have had time to play with my Ion; It gets better battery life than what my G1 did with my extended 2600mah Innocell battery. I can't believe the difference. This is what the G1 should have been.

The item is coming from Europe. I ordered it at the end of June and I'm still waiting. I'm pretty disappointed in the time this has taken. This completely goes against the feedback left on his account.
I never did receive the battery. I'll be getting my money back. Although Yoobbao is now offering 2600MAH Batteries! I ordered one and should be receiving it shortly.
Look forward to hearing back from you.

The Magic already handles battery life a hell of alot better than the G1 but with so much battery... I don't expect to need to charge it that often.

True that, if I was just making some calls or text messaging i wouldn't need to charge it for at least a couple of days. Some occassions, for example hiking, I tend to leave GPS on all day to record my tracks as well as access some data apps here and there, which I notice the data usage is usually the one to blame that drains the battery fairly quickly. If a bigger battery could rest assure that would be awesome.
The thing with owning a phone like the magic, is that you don't want to stick to just a few calls and texts, when you have so much more at your disposal. Otherwise I would have stuck with my old Nokia and only charged it once every several days.

Exactly, my Sony Ericsson C902 normaly lasts from mon-fri no problem with texting and calling.
With a phone like the magic you do want to make most out of it, and mine normally gives me a full day of continous use. Originally i only used to get half a day as i hammerd it but a few good tweaks make a MASSIVE difference.
- get a brightness widget and just adjust it as required. i have it at 40%.
- get an over clocking app and underclock it when screen is off or having less use. (root needed)
- get a task killer, apps runing in background can drain it too. Well they seem to. (root needed).
Anyway, whats the update on the new battery Gimpeh mate.

It shipped monday with expedited shipping. Keep in mind it is coming from China. I've been using the donation version of Advance Task Manager forever now. Whats the difference between that and Task Killer? I've looked at the description and it appears the same. I wish one of these could be set to auto kill apps that start up. Throughout the day I'll open up task manager only to see that Foobook and a few others are idling again after killing them earlier in the day. Annoyances!
No real difference really, just that task killer has a widget aswell that shows number of apps running and upon clicking it, it kills everything.
I only went over to tasKiller as the advanced task manager app expired.

Damn! Looks like I'll be getting the 3650 now. Anyone want a 2500?
Hi guys,
this is my first post on this board, so i want greet all first.
Looking on the mugen power site, I've realized that with 2600mAh or 3650mAh extended battery you are force to change the battery covery due the size of the battery, and also your phone will become much ticker, it's right?
While I'm pretty happy with the stock Magic battery, looking on the mugen power site i have seen that 1550mAh extended battery doesn't require a cover battery change, so i would be happy to give it a try and mantain the thin shape of the Magic. Anyone can confirm me that the 1550mAh battery doesn't require a cover battery change?
Last question i'm in Italy and i hasn't been able to uderstand where this company is located on both about us and customer service there is some dummy text ,and there are no information on the contact page. The only information that i have is that domain is registred to an'Hungarian man.
So in few word is this site trustable? anyone here has experiece with this battery? They ship from Europe North America or Asia?
Sorry for all this question, but about a month ago the local national tv reported the case of a woman which changed the battery of his phone whith a chinese one, and the phone/battery exploded in her hands.
Thanks all in advance
so a few of you may remember I took the plunge and bought an ebay extended battery. I'm here to report that not only do they work, they work great! I used my phone from 8 AM yesterday to about 2 AM and it still had about 20% left!!! And I was using GPS, phone calls, heavy internet browsing application installing, and more. Not to mention I just got the thing so it's probably not even broken in yet. The back is extended out a bit, but really it actually feels more solid than the standard cover. I'm 100% satisfied... for $15 shipped this is 1000000% worth it!
This is the battery I bought, it's 2000 mAh, so it needs an extended cover which this seller included with the order. I actually made a mistake and bought the P3050 version I guess it's GSM? Not sure exactly, but it didn't fit, so I emailed him and he mailed out the proper one for the Sprint CDMA version. If you email him, he should be able to help, nice guy.

I agree, but this guy did me a favor. I bought the wrong one (wrong battery cover) and he hooked me up!
Berardi,
That's a great news.
I'll get one, if I need a new battery.
My standard battery life is now much better than before. Last weekend, I used a golf rangefinder (GPS for yardage). My battery died right after I hit my 2nd shot to the 18th green.
can you take a picture of the back at a different angle?
From the picture it looked aweful... like a step and then flat on the top part
For now i've been leaving my phone charged most of the time and carrying aspare battery rather than an extended one but with the use of GPS/BT/ Internet i can hardly squeeze more than 5-6 hrs before i have to replace or charge mine...
I wish the Extended batter can "blend" in more with the phone rather than the protuding and funny looking cover ...

GPS definitely drains the battery like no other. I use my phone pretty heavily, not extremely heavy on GPS like you would with golf rangefinder, but I can't imagine you being able to drain this thing in less than a few hours. Compared to my 1500 mah Seidio, a Japanese brand battery that is supposedly a very good brand, this is a pretty large increase. I'd give it a shot I would buy from this guy if I were you, he's good about responding to emails and fixing problems. Like I said, I bought the wrong version accidentally and he fixed it for me.

Yeah it does stick out about maybe 3/8 of an inch? But truthfully, it feels more solid in my hands when I'm typing and using it. I don't know if it's because the old back cover was so beat up, or if it's actually that the extra back makes it fit better in my hand, it just seems to fit better. Here I took some pics.
http://picasaweb.google.com/berardi1111/ExtendedBattery?feat=directlink
It does stick out in the battery area and not the top area and a small area not sticking out at the bottom, but it really doesn't bother me in the least. I've used mostly larger phones in the past, like the Mogul so I'm used to a larger size and prefer it actually. YMMV but I'm extremely satisfied

Thanks for the heads up, I almost ordered one until I saw the warning. (actually it was the picture that turned me off)
I recently came to the conclusion that i wanted to sell my 2150 battery. It was great and lasted long but I just never really could adjust to the bulk and after rooting and installing a custom ROM on my phone, my stock battery was enough to satisfy me. It is only about 2 weeks old and I'm a light user to begin with. This battery should still perform to its max. I'm posting in hope of finding someone who can get better use of it than I could. If anyone is interested you can check out the link below .

Yes, it's pretty expensive, would need a different battery door (read: no NFC), and probably adds quite some weight..
but - it won't run out on you that easy
On a separate note - does any one have tips for a good replacement/swap battery that I could buy?

Yeah for sure, I want to compare battery life on both (obviously ) - bulk on both - time of charging taken for both - usability on both - if it's really necessary in the end, to be honest, I'm fine with a phone that gets me through 1 day, since I can just charge at night.
However I could see myself using something like this on a road trip where I'd be using phone nonstop or perhaps to tether to my MacBook.
Suggestions are welcomed

so true! I think most people generally follow that same rule, if you can get through 1 day on heavy usage, then battery life will be acceptable, anything short of that is where you begin to hate your phone since you have to carry charger/extra batteries lol

While we're on the topic of batteries, they both can be rejuvenated via microUSB. Thoughtfully, Columbia includes a single wall adapter with two USB ports, as well as two USB charging plugs. That means that a single wall socket can charge both packs up, and yeah, it'll charge your Nexus One and Garmin PND if you ask it to. Another killer addition is the inclusion of worldwide power sockets; if you're the type who jets off to Switzerland or France to catch some fresh powder, your charger will come prepared. A nice touch, indeed. Furthermore, one of the internal batteries has a USB port that can be used to charge any USB-enabled smartphone or PMP so long as you supply the cable, which is certainly helpful for those on the slopes with a dying iPod touch.

most likely eBay or Craigslist.
I was pretty fond of it but didn't like the development that was going on around there. All the ROMs were based off internal Samsung Froyo leaks and development was limited because Samsung took forever to release Froyo (kernels were closed-sourced, only kernel available was the I9000 and vibrant kernels based off I9000 kernels were awful battery life). This leaded me to getting a Nexus S and i don't regret it. Only thing I really miss are the video codecs, at the moment 720p mkv play fine but no audio is being outputted.

Oh ok, well the Nexus S is my first android phone so i've had no experience with others and if i could find others for 200-300$ used i wouldn't mind buying to compare, thx though!
For whoever is interested...
"Hi Gianpy!
Just placed an order with two batteries for you: one for 3300mAh and the other one is stock sized 1600mAh.
You will get confirmation letters on your email address when they will be shipped."
They are sending me the 1600mAh battery as well, which I think is 100 mAh more than our original battery. Will compare that as well.
All,
Its finally here and I just bought it.
The first extended battery.. 6500ma ... this is gonna be crazy

The back case isnt as nice as the one which came with the n7000 but ill check it out.
Haha, nice! Just make sure to stand back when first trying out the battery

So besides its look, what does every expect from its lifetime.
I bought a second hand note about 6 months old and the new batterys from ebay were just as good if not better than the original hence im thinking a 6500ma battery would see possible 2 full days of heavy use? perhaps 4 of light use.. I hope they bring out the 12000ma extended battery

I prefer to buy another original or anker battery with a double charger for 30 bucks and put it the second in the wallet than use this extended in the phone.
I would rather get a second official battery than have this monstrosity destroy the look of my phone

I think you are all missing the point of this battery.
I was in Thailand with the arduos task of taking 3000 photos on my note. My small batterys didnt last that long and was also hard to grip. The big phone with big battery was far superior. Obviously it destroys the look but for usability it is amazing.
Can we keep comments to the use of thos battery, not the look it will give the phone.. Ovbviously its not a fashion accesory **** guys
I can see its usefulness, that's for sure. I just think the company could have worked on the execution a bit better. But no doubt, if you need a long life battery, it should do the trick.

Cheap no brand batteries are NEVER as good as the quality OEM products. I'll reserve judgement on this thing until someone's reported on its actual performance.
That is a good find.
I'll definitely buy one before taking a trip/vacation.
It'll be a very handy if not a life saver.
Be sure to let us know how it performs.

I don't understand why you these extended battery case makers make a lump,
rather than just making the entire case that thick. (maybe needing a bigger hole for the camera.
It'd look much nicer.

Did the note 2 just make babies?? Huge bump dude
