Anyone selling batteries yet?

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

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.

OEM HTC Mogul Lithium Ion Extended Battery 2200mAh
Use coupon code to get 15% off: EX0605

or you can order directly from sprint telesales for 49.99

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.

and i was so hopeful with the ebay batteries

extended battery 2400 maH on ebay.com

saw it today morning on ebay, price about 18 usd w/o shipping costs (about 2 usd). i think to order that one, coz original htc 2300 mah still not available to ship and mugen 2600 mah is more expensive (64 usd w/o shipping costs).

Thanks for sharing.

so do i.
awaiting for an 1600 mah one and decided to got 2400 mah.

Now the question is, is it really 2400mAh as it claims to be?
1600mAh Andida (from china) performs close to the OEM, but not more.

i think leo with this battery is about 17mm (with stock battery - 11mm).

the phone would get so bulky that it's scary
Anyway, considering they are including a 2400mAh battery and a custom back metal cover (admitting it's metal and not some kind of plastic) for 20USD total, I'd love to see a proportionally priced spare vanilla metal back cover, which would be less than half, everything considered. Alas, all metal back covers I've seen are way more expensive than that.

so yay or nay? bulk isn't going to be too much of an issue. I wouldn't mind swapping depending on what I needed... be even better to have a dock that will charge the hd2 with the extended battery on, and have the original "spare" charging on the back.

Cover looks like plastic to me.

yeahh..... I ordered the 1600 mAh lol no need for that big ass cover and it only cost me $10 so.... yeh

Yup, it's true.. I now have 3 batteries (1500, 1600 and original) and they're all basically the same. Dirt cheap replacements though which is good on it's own
Just hate the thick back of the extended version, the thin-ness of the HD2 makes it pocketable regardless the size. Wonder if that still will be the case with the extended battery.

Couldn't agree more with you, dude!
The trouble with all these extended batts are that they make our Leos look FAT on their centre.... kinda like having beer bellies!

big belly?
Well, i'd rather have hard working phone with big belly, than skinny 1 pulling trailer with extra power? lmao, I don't mind little extra depth, it will still go in pocket fine 5mm, or 10mm? lol, won't keep it out of my pocket. Just concerned about new case? I use Imagnum,flip style!! OH OH?

Hunchback, more like.

I just bought the ebay 2400mah with plastic cover and it doesnt seem to be double the original. 31% at the end of a day of light/moderate usage. the cheap price makes it no loss, but I really dont think it is a true 2400. i'll compare some more though...

I also bought Cameron Sino 2400mAH HD2 extended battery from ebay. Actually the capacity is almost double the standard 1300mAH battery but there is a trick! After the battery goes flat and auto off you need to take out the battery for a while and fix it back. Restart, then the battery meter will display 50% battery level and it can continue for normal 50% usage!!
I am still puzzling why this thing happen and hope anybody have solution to this. Thanks!

Seem this issue still don't have any solution. No choice! I try to get help from Cameron Sino (manufacturer for HD2 2400mAH extended battery) to see whether they have solution on this issue. Below the write up:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir,
I am recently purchased a Cameron Sino HD2 2400mAH extended battery from eBay. The battery is well build and the cover also well fitted onto my HD2. The problem I face is the battery is having compatibility issue that I need to do extra step to utilize full power of the Cameron Sino extended battery. Below the issue:
•The battery can be full charge and the HD2 is showing 100% battery level after full charge.
•To my surprise, the battery power draining rate seem not much different from standard non extended 1300mAH battery that it not justify for the extra thick battery and cover
•When it goes down less than 10% or zero power, I try to switch off the HP, remove the battery from battery bay for a few second then fix back, power on back the phone. The HD2 battery meter now indicate 50% battery power remaining and it can be continue use until goes to zero.
I would say this kind of issue is compatibility issue that it shouldn’t behave this way, It is very troublesome to off-power, remove back cover, remove battery, fix back battery, fix back cover, power on again to gain back another 50% battery power. It should be slowly drain down power (after full charge) with much slower drain down rate and goes completely zero as what normal Li-Ion battery behave.
Pls look into this issue seriously as I already feedback to xda developer forum on this issue that a lot of potential buyer will reluctant to purchase this 2400mAH extended battery because of this issue. I hope you can provide a battery driver solution and I should try to install. I will update to the forum when this issue is fixed, else the issue will remain open and it definitely will discourage people to buy this battery due to this issue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope Cameron Sino will provide solution to this issue and I should update once I gotten the reply. Stay tune!

Upgraded battery

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?

+1
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.

[OFFICIAL] Mugen Power 6400mah Battery Review

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-samsung-galaxy-note-2-with-battery-door.html
Packaging:
The Mugen Power 6400mah Extended Battery for the Samsung Galaxy Note II comes in a very simple yet elegant packaging encasing the extended battery, custom battery door with stand, and also a leather pouch.
Looks:
Taken out of the packaging, the initial thought that jumps to mind is THICK. Yes, the 6400mah rated at more than double the battery life of the OEM battery is also double the thickness of the OEM battery. However, this was expected as doubling anything always come with a price. Minor print on the battery introduces its specifications (3.8V / 6400mah) along with several caution warnings.
The extended battery back comes with a surprise as well. The NFC chip is built into the extended backplate. Thus, consumers would not have to make do with no NFC if they opt for the Mugen Power Extended Battery. Best of both worlds, who doesn’t want that? Also, the backcover has a very detailed diamond shaped pattern that provides a textured feel to improve grip. The flash and camera cutouts are perfectly aligned and cut along with the SPEN cutout as well. The kickstand on this unit is much better than any of the previously reviewed batteries for other phones. Mugen Power seemed to have finally fixed their flimsy stand issue as the current stand provides support and rigidity when opened, and sits tight and flush with the back when closed.
The leather pouch included is BIG, big to a point that I have not found an excuse to transfer from my current slim case to this pouch. However, for those leather lovers out there, this may hit the sweet spot for you. Who thought you’d be getting a pouch when all you care for is the battery? Just to make one thing clear, the pouch DOES NOT seem to be made for the extended battery cover, as the phone sits REALLY tight in there, which does not seem right. However, with OEM battery, the phone fits in the pouch just fine.
Performance:
This battery is AMAZING. The Note 2 itself already has one of the most excellent battery life in the android crowd, but this battery takes it another step further. With the original 3100mah battery, I am able to make it just past 2 days of moderate usage with an average of 5 hours screen on. This usage includes surfing, slight 1 hour gaming, videos, lots and lots and lots of chatting and texting, and 30 minutes of calling.
With the Mugen Battery, regular usage lasted me over 4 DAYS with similar usage stated above. This makes true Mugen’s claim of doubling the battery life, and really comes in handy if you are going on a long trip where a wall plug becomes a luxury.
I also wanted to see how the battery would do if I stressed on gaming and video watching. In this area, I was even more surprised. The screen shots attached show clearly how I tested the battery. In one day, of over 11 hours screen on, around 4 of them was due to very intense high graphics ONLINE gaming, which is a BIG battery sucker. Additionally, web surfing and video watching along with tapatalk are amongst the remaining few hours of usage. (BRIGHTNESS ALWAYS AT 50%) No matter what you say about this battery, for gamers, this is a MUST. I used to have to change/charge my battery more 5 times (not 0-100 charges) throughout the day if I game this much. With mugen, that worry is gone, as I am 100% certain that no matter what I do with my phone. It would last me through the day, EASY.
Nothing in the world is made perfect, and so isn’t the Mugen Power Extended Battery. Though the cover fits the phone perfectly with the extended battery inside, there is a slight hollowness within the phone that allows the battery to shift around inside. Its not to a level such that the battery would loose its connection, but it just feels hollow and when you feel the battery move inside, it just annoys you. An easy fix was applied by adding a business card on top of the battery then closing the phone.
SO, it you are planning on a long trip, or if you are a avid gamer/ user, and is not satisfied with your battery life, Mugen Power's 6400mah battery for your galaxy note 2 really is the way to go as they produce one of the best quality batteries on the market with proper customer support. One downside however, is that you have to overcome that steep price and also a slight downgrade in looks of your phone.
OH, and IT STILL DOES FIT INSIDE YOUR POCKET JUST FINE…

excellent review, I'm fairly sure I'll pick one up before i go to europe in a couple months. For now though on a regular day to day basis I use about 45-55% of my battery in a full day (6am-10pm). Probably 25% of the battery is from work and the other 25% is at home.

i just got one and....
It's a real pain in the ass.
Charged it for 12 hrs.
Started with battery drain apps, but don't feel like stressing all the components that much.
So I'm using it my normal heavy amount, which makes me always keep my mind on the battery.
Well it just Won't discharge! !!!!
At this rate it'll take me more that a week to train the battery with 5 cycles.
No Way drain in a day. No matter what I do.
How annoying.

Nice review. I still could never pay that much. I just got the hyperion 6300 and tpu case for under $30. I am very impressed with its quality. So far people are having almost the exact same results with the anker and hyperion as the op.

Thanks.
If I get a gnote2 I will probably pick this up as well.
Though I kinda hope for the gnote3 to have a native 6000mah battery (with aftermarket upgrades going to 10k+).

Nice review, I'm thinking of buying one of these, but I can't say that I like the bulkiness. My Note 2 is sexy as it is with my UAG cover, oh well, I'll sleep on it.

thickness?

Not to knock down the product, as you guys know I do reviews of numerous accessories in this forum and try to stay fare to product value (I will tell you if its a premium product and extra price gets you extra quality, etc.). But when you look at Mugen 6400 mAh for $105 and Anker 6200 mAh for $17 how do you justify price difference? Both are trusted companies in my book. Yes, Mugen battery cover is premium with kickstand and built-in NFC (although even video reviewer had some issues?). But what else?!? That is a HUGE price difference. Any idea? I have tested Innocell 4500 mAh which I found to have a higher capacity, closer to 500 mAh, and I couldn't justify its price either. The only advantage in there was ACTIVE Extended rugged case to use with typical double thickness extended batteries.

I suppose because Mugen can be trusted (so many of the extended batteries are china fakes...) and provide warrantly.

Exist 4000-4500 mAh extended battery?

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.
