Mugen Power 4800mAh Extended Battery

I don't think I need this but someone else might. I am sure this battery will last a week or more.

it...looks....HUGE

Ouch! at the price too.

Very nice, I bet it's not EMO/Skater compatible... just thinking about trousers,
so technically speaking this should give you 3 times battery on average use?
any one willing to guinea pig this thing?

I think I may have a problem getting my back cover over that...

chunky! ... may well get hold of one before next year's camping ....

LOL, that thing is massive.....I'm sure it'll be quite solid....wonder if it would help reduce flexing of the phone LOL

I hope that has a better slider mechanism than the original streak back cover connection, other wise everytime you place the streak the wrong way in your pocket the weight of the battery and gravity will make it slide out.

so.. 3x batterylife = 1 and 1/2 days?

Lol, i get that off the stock battery! I'm guessing you'd get 3-4 days out of a battery that size.

You should be cautious! The battery may damage your device as I once had a very bad experience...

I have the Mugen battery in my HTC Shift .. It has been over a year now. The battery drains faster, but still holds a charge twice, if not longer than the original battery.
The company is GREAT to do business with .. I broke the clip on the extended battery cover I got with the extended battery and they sold me another for just a couple of dollars.
I have recently ordered the Mugen for my Streak. They are out of stock but I think they begin shipping in just a few days. I have NO DOUBT AT ALL that the battery will be great .. I will let you know ..
*** I would pre-order one if you are thinking of getting one .. who knows how many people are waiting for them to be in stock before ordering - they could run out before they finish with pre-orders ?? Ya think ?? All I know is I want one .. I am getting one .. and I know it will triple the life of my battery .. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT ...
My one and only concern is .. What will I do about a case .. I have the Otterbox now and the one that I got at Dell, but I don't think they will fit the extended battery. I am thinking about getting a neoprene case .. it will stretch and fit ..

Holy christ.
My Streak is big enough as it is, there's no way that thing would fit in my pocket
and $129.95? Seriously? No offence, but you've gotta have more money than sense to buy that...
EDIT: Let me put that another way: 4 of these batteries would be worth more than your Streak... You've got to be a complete idiot to buy one of these...

Yesterday I got a message that my battery has been shipped. I figure at least a week getting here - I will let you all know how it works or if it destroyed my Streak .. I have MUCH confidence in Mugen ..

I was considering buying this battery. I have an extra amzer case which I was gonna modify to fit the back door. You think this can be done?

All I can say is: X-ACTO knife and a steady hand [or a metal ruler]

Has anyone seen this one?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-1800mah-extended-battery-for-dell-streak-m01m.html
1800mah compared to the stock 1530mah. Seems like it's the same dimensions. Might have call and check it out.

I bought one of those a couple of weeks ago to use as a backup battery. It was posted out a few days ago so I'll let you know once I get it.

Definitely. As long as its the same dimensions, I'll grab one. I think I got stuck with a faulty battery. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get more than a days use out of mine.

Seidio 3500 mah extended battery

Just wanted to let you guys know that seidio has finally released their 3500 mah extended battery for the shift.
Here's a link for those who are interested:

So has any one got one of these? If so is does it perform well enough to pay that price and make your phone look as though it has a butt tumor?

Geez that is UGLY!!! You'd think a company like Seidio would make a sleeker looking back cover. I mean the Cheepo back covers you can get from Ebay look better than that. Come on Seidio, how about some effort. Aesthetics should go hand in hand when your paying that kind of money.

+1 so with you there. I mean gorillagadgets has a3500mah battery for the shift with a much sleeker case for half the price. Now it probably doesn't perform as well as the seido but still your paying $50 for a battery make a LITTLE change to the case. You get what you get though

I have the seidio extended and I love it! Provided I don't play to much with the phone I will last for 2 days. However does anyone know where to find a phone case for it??

Just checked this out seems interesting. For the price $29 + Shipping , I might just give it a shot. If I do I'll make sure to post up.

I tried the Gorillagadgets HTC EVO Shift 4G 3500 mAh Extended Life Battery but it wouldn't take a charge out of the box. I sent it back for a refund. The customer service was good though.

It's been a while since I first looked into this battery and thought I'd share. I've had it for a few months now and it performs great depending on the rom, kernel, cpu settings etc. The back is rubberized but didn't fit well when I got it. I made the holes for the camera lens and flash bigger which helped. There was also a velvet like pad inside the door that pushed against the battery that had to be removed. Once I took that out it fits great. Right now I'm running MikRunny. I hope this was useful.

[Q] Streak 7 with media dock and Otterbox, please help

I need to get rid of my streak 7 since I never use it. I have never even took the screen plastic off of it, and have not used it much at all.
I bought it new at Dell, and have the unlock code for it, as well as the media dock and the otterbox case.
I am not having any luck finding someone in my area that needs it, and have no idea what it is worth now.
Can you guys recommend where/how I should sell this thing, and what I should ask for it?

You should be able to get around $300 for it with the dock on Ebay, they seem to sell well ...

Thanks, I would take $300 for it. It is in perfect shape. Maybe used for a week at most.

how much for the otter box case??

Chris.k or anyone good with dremel - I need someone to mod Otterbox 4 Mugen extended

Hi guys, ever since I saw the thread about modifying the Otterbox for Mugen, I can't stop thinking about it. Even more so because the Mugen case is not very good - it is too tight and the phone keeps turning itself off. I am not good with tools and frankly I will never succeed doing this on my own in a million years and I don't know anyone who would do this well. I was hoping someone who did this already and is skilled would do this for me and I'd pay you for your trouble. It will still take a few days for me to receive the Otterbox but I'd like to ship it off for modification as soon as I get it. It would also be great if it was someone inside EU so it won't be stopped at customs. I'd cover return shipping as well. I am sure I would not be the only customer either...

That is a good idea but I live in a strange rural area where wood work shop would not do this, I am willing to bet on it. You can't get anyone to do what "they don't do" here. Anything out out the ordinary is impossible to get. Noone would be able to understand why I need such a big battery and case to begin with. I am the village weirdo LOL.

Most people on this forum don't understand why you need such a big battery
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2

Dont cut the defender. Opening a hole in the back will direct any back impact straight to the inside of your phone.

I am sure it will lose some protection but it is better than no case at all and can't be worse than Mugen case. Anyway, there is yet no evidence that a n y back impact will go straight inside the phone. Edit: I mean to say ALL impact will go straight inside phone - it has to be a bit better than naked ance certainly better than Mugen case.
In any case, I decided I want this mod. I need someone who would do it.

It is your phone, your case and your money. And you dont need any hard evidence to accept that all the force will go inside. Just open the back and push the battery with your hand and tell me what you see. Now multiply this and imagine what will happen if you drop it since as you see in the photos the battery is higher than the defender back. Of course you will have much better side protection.Anyway good luck.

I am agaimst this mod but I will tell you how to do it. Mark the square you want to cut first and then drill one small hole on every corner. Finally use a dremel and cut from hole to hole. If you are afraid that you wont cut in a straight line then drill more holes on every edge. It is really simple.

I will look into that if I can't find anyone. Truth be told I never used any of those tools before in my life.

It is really easy. And the holes in the corners will both guide you and stop you from cutting more than you should. I wish I could help you but I live in Greece.

Put double sided tape on the outside of the battery, insert battery into phone and back cover as normal. Slowly pull off back cover making sure the battery is sticking to the back cover. Now you can trace the battery exactly where you need to cut. At first make the hole smaller than needed so you can shave off a little at a time to make it a perfect fit. Just take your time with it and it'll turn out fine. I plan to do this with a cheaper case and battery.

Mophie vs. ??? - Powered case for the HTC One M8

I'm looking for an extended battery/phone case for my M8...ya know, a powered case. I had a Mophie on my Galaxy S4 and absolutely lobed it...well, most of the time. Anyways, since Mophie doesn't make a case for the M8, I'm forced to explore a new brand.
Please if anyone knows of a reputable company (other than Mophie) please share your recommendation with me!
Thanks!!

I found two options, and it's really just a matter of price/brand.
This one...
And then the Mugen.
The Mugen has the pedigree as well as a higher milliampere-hour capacity, however it's $50 more. So it's really just dependent how how much you want to spend. Hope this helps.
Edit: I do not have experience with either of these, so if you decide to try one please let us know which one and how you like it.

So I found this one on Amazon yesterday and bought it. It arrives tomorrow, I'll report back and let you know my initial reactions.

ZeroLemon has their new battery case for our M8 on Amazon, just bought it, I'll update once I get it.

Well I just got my PowerBear charging case in the mail. Out of the box, it feels like reasonably good quality. Nice looking, it has that smooth, sorta grippy rubberized business we all seems to love now. It was very easy to slide the phone in and snap it into place. I'll put it thru it's paces and see how it does. The led indicators on the back are a nice touch, as is the built-in kickstand. Give me a few days to see if any issues arise.
