Hey guys,
Got my hands on the Mugen Power Batteries (thanks to the folks over there for sending them out free of charge!) - both the 3300 mah and 1600 mah capacities. I wanted to provide an accurate comparison between these and the stock battery so I took my time with the review, getting a general idea of the overall usage and then putting them into test experiment.
You can see the whole experiment and full review below, but basically put, the 3300 mah battery is FANTASTIC, meeting my high expectations. On the other hand, the 1600 mah battery is disappointing to put it lightly.
Check the full review here:
Wow, I'd rather be switching batteries than having a fatty Nexus S in my pocket
i think the Seidio 3500mAh will do far better
thanks for the review

No worries, thank you for watching! Seidio is sending me that as well so will make sure to post a video and compare.
The price is too much....
Plan B and much cheaper alternative....
Another stock battery, a carry around wall charger, or a USB car charger.

Yep, I agree. That's why I only recommended it to those who really did NEED the extra power, I'm sure there is a small market of people who would find it essential. Thanks for your input!

I agree too. It's waaaaaay too much ca$h for it. Furthermore, it even makes the NS look fat, so you're in a lose-lose situation instead of a win-win.
Instead, I would recommend an OEM 1440 mAh, or maybe even 2 of these, which you can find at around 5 $ on eBay. It's way cheaper and it retains the original NS thickness. Granted, you will have to reboot the device each time you connect a new battery, but hell... I would prefer at anytime this method instead of a fat NS, really now... (it just looks ugly, even though maybe it is pretty decent to hold in hands).
Anyway, it was a pleasure watching the video, so thank you very much for putting the effort in it, I really appreciate it !
Glad to help! Comments like yours keep me going

If I do not get a reply on monday, I will call him up and should have the product wtihin a week.
Thanks for your support

Back again. Question: have you taken the batteries through a couple of cycles of charges before the test ?
Yes I did, the batteries came with instructions on how to condition and cycle them, so I did so 4 times (the amount they recommended)
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App
Thanks a lot for the input.
I had extended batteries for my evo and epic. Both ran longer than stock obviously. The evo battery, even though it had less capacity than the epic's, it lasted longer. My biggest complaint with bigger batteries is that there isn't usually any case you can find that fits the fat phone. I really hate not having a case to help protect the phone against any unforeseen accidents. Both battery door covers had cheesy build quality and the epic didn't snap shut completely.
It's a damn shame too because it's so awesome to be able to stay away from a charger all day long, then plug it in when you go to bed.

here is a good one, i will probably be ordering.
i mean SEDIO is really pricey, these well are 100 mah less, but like 1/6 the cost..
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-For-HTC...ryZ15034QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
seidio makes good quality batteries... personally, i would not consider the one in the link you posted because, if battery issues arise, you're pretty much stuck with the battery. conversely, with seidio, if the battery issues arise, i can send it back for a replacement (as long as it's within the warranty period). i've been using the Seidio 1500 mAh battery for 2+ weeks and it DOES provide more "up" time before a recharge is necessary...
i bought this battery only $6 w/ shipping so we will see.!
the batttery works well. It was a great investment. I can leave BT on ALL DAY, and still have Battery left over... Great!

Glad to know the batteries are great.
Just bought too from the same seller.
Thanks!
Great find. For $7 to my door its worth a try. Even if it isnt the fantastic it will make a great spare.
soo...?
anyone care to comment on how this battery actually performs or if it is having any problems? really interesting find...
thanks, Jim.
no the battery is great. I get through a normal day from around 8 am- 7 pm. on a full charge. BUt... i do use the phone.. Probably around 10-15 minutes of calling, 20 minutes of slingplayer mobile, 20 minutes of internet searching, 10-20 texts, read email once an hour, and listen to music w pocketplayer for X amount of time??? and i still have around 10-20 % battery life left at 6. Since i have the other battery, if im going out that night, i can just flip it out and its good, but for the whole work day and that amount of use (i have screen on full brightness as well.) it works great. When the screen is not fully bright i can get through the night easliy as well (hard to read in sunlight though...)
i also bought the digipower power extension (3400 mah battery pack) this is for skiing. I put it in my camelpack, and it lasts the entire ski day while playing music, with then some to spare. That is only $30 and its about the same size as the phone. The other great thing is that can also work for airplanes as well as it plugs into usb , so any usb device!! still only $7 for the 1400 mah batt, not badd....
thanks
thank you very much for that great detailed response. is that more than what you would normally get out of your OEM 1100mah battery?
like what would those figures have been had you been using the original battery?
Thanks very much, Jim.

It has been said that the battery is good.
I mean... 7$ , delivered to your door!
And you're still not quite sure...
the 1400Mah one for $7 fits in the OEM case?
also, would u still have bought it given the choice of the new 2000MaH battery from seidio?
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=927
Yeah, the 1400mah fits the original case.
No, I would not consider a 2000mah battery because of:
- The price
- The bulk
- The additionnal back plate.
14$ for two 1400mah battery.
15$ for a desktop cradle dual battery charger.
S/H included.
That's all I will ever need!

well the stock battery is "good". but im not gonna give away $7 (even tho thats not much) if its not going to do anything more than the stock battery. thats...completely pointless. i was just trying to get some #'s on the stock battery vs the ebay one to see if it was even worth bothering with.
The only reason i'm slightly wary is that it's not OEM...
Is this something I should be worried about? would TEP through sprint still take care of me in store? I hate asurion...

Hi, sorry I wasn't subscribed to this thread.
Yes, they seem to work fine. I haven't compared them to the OEM battery in any sort of analytical way. My reception and programs I run vary so much that it would be pretty difficult to do a fair comparison. My anecdotal experience is that they work comparably to the original. How long they'll last (#cycles), who knows. If there's anything specific you want me to test, let me know. Yes, CDMA version of the vogue (Sprint Touch).
I also bought one, and he shipped a different battery that didn't fit. He insisted that I email a photo of the battery to prove it which I did. He said I was right, he had sent the wrong battery, and he would send me the right one. He also wants me to (at my cost) mail him back the wrong battery he sent me. I told him I would only do that when he puts $1.80 (cost of mailing it to Hong Kong) into my PayPal account since it was his mistake not mine. After numerous inquiries he finally responded that he has shipped a replacement, but it is almost 2 weeks ago and I still haven't received it.
I'm sorry if there's a topic about it. I browsed for it, but the XDA app crashes whenever I try to search.
I'm considering ordering this battery. Had anyone had any good or bad experiences with it? I'm finding that the stock battery just isn't quite enough. Do you get the expected extra ~30% run time based on the capacity difference? Does it run too hot or anything? Thanks in advance for any input.

You can go on ebay and buy 2 or 3 1800 mah batteries for the same price as one 1750 seido... I know there is a chance the batteries will be **** but ive never had bad luck with them.

I love and swear by my 1750. You will get a lot of people in here saying it is crap, but I assure you it is not. If you want a battery to last the full day and not increase the size of your phone the 1750 is for you. I have had no issues with it getting to hot. Just a word for the wise....
When you get it follow the instructions. Let it charge for several hours after full charge. Im talking twelve hours or so if you can spare. You wont regret it.
I have the 1750 and it works great, does as advertised. Gets me through a day at 1.152 GHz of mid-heavy use, I'm not complaining

Thanks for the input. What do people say about it? Just that it's not worth the "premium" price a la the first post here?
EDIT: Also, I'd consider the larger extended batteries, but I use my phone as a GPS frequently and thus can't deal with an extended back.
It's nice to have but I've become so used to plugging up that I have a way/somewhere to charge almost everywhere I go anymore. It does allow me the luxury of being able to not plug up for longer.
I've started swapping out my 1750 for my stocker and letting them charge on my docking stations for a day or so...seems to help a little.

When I was looking for a replacement battery and searching the forums many different people claimed it didn't work as advertised. That it did not last any longer than the stock battery. In my experience this is not the case at all. Also the price is a little heavy but worth it to me at the time. I would check ebay for it now though.
1750 is an over priced, under performing piece of ****. Go on ebay and for $8.90 you can get a original HTC 1500.

Why would you say that? I've had the 1750 since a week after I got my DInc and it always over performs. I've had days where my phone was on for 26 hours with 20% left. The Sedio batteries are wwaaayy better than the crap HTC Taiwanese ones. Sedio is a Japanese cell. You pay for quality.

Advertising what? A good deal? I wasted my money on the 1750 so I would know. Why pay $40 for it when the HTC 1500 performs the same.
There's some spec sheets floating around that shows HTC batteries perform at their rated mah while seidios 1750 and 3500 fall short.
And here's that sheet:

I bought a 1750 for my Eris and use it with my Dinc without any problems.
I have one, and use it regularly. Its capacity is not staggering, but noticable over stock.
I have one and would recommend it. I compared it to my stock battery a while back, and found that it charges at about the same rate (in percentage, so it charges faster technically), gives 1 extra hour under full load, and 2-3 extra hours under mixed load.

Bought both the 1750mah and the eBay OEM 1500mah from bidallies and love it. 15$ and lasts twice as long as that sedieo crap. Sold that thing after two months of use. Have since bought an extra 1500 as spare and bought several more for friends and family with the Inc.

Ive noticed mine lasts maybe an hour or 2 longer then the stock battery, not worth the price tag in my opinion.
rubbish, its good for the first month. after that it dies faster than the stock. get a hero battery and call it a day
I purchased an 1800mah battery from htcexpressdotcom for $20 and it works great. Same size as the stock 1300 too.
Has any found a good source for spare batteries yet?
Always had good luck with the chinese knock offs.
While I'm on the subject, I wonder why HTC didn't just share batteries with the Sensation and Evo 3d????
<Removed>
I just did some searches on eBay for HTC Raider battery and found a bunch for sale. The model number of the battery is the same as the Vivid (I pulled out my battery and checked), so it should work fine. Pretty cheap too, they had some for like $15.98 for 3 batteries + wall charger.
I just ordered some batteries on amazon and it includes the charger. I would give you guys the link but im too new to submit links lol. Search this "Hyperion AT&T HTC Vivid 4G 2 x Battery + Charger" and you sohuld be able to find it!

You really think a non brand item would have that much capacity? Doubling the battery would make it 6200 (if it was linear) and to think you want to put a non branded 7600 mah battery in a $700 phone? No thanks.
I purchased the Onite extended battery, for the n7100. It adds some serious bulk, but at the expense of nearly doubling your battery life.
Only consider buying items that have reviews on them.
is everybody here an expert on batteries now. I have bought no name batteries from the past for my touch pro, tp2, evo 4g, evo3d, sg2, and now the note 2. They all work the same, if not better. they are cheap and about 1/3 to 1/4 of the price. I bought this one exactly and the battery life is awsome.

What? 7600 mah? this is just stupid. I'm sorry, but someone's got to say it. I see no logic behind this other than an ironic gimmick. Only for extremely specific uses would this make sense. If you plan on going long periods of time without charging, why can't you just buy 2 standard size batteries of superior quality and performance? Is it really that hard to shut off your phone and plug the new one in? Also, if you buy multiple standard batteries, your case will actually fit. And there's no way this thing is 7600 mah. And if it is, it is terrible quality. Just wanted to point out that this battery is twice the size of the original 7 inch galaxy tab's and more than 8 times the size of the 4th generation ipod touch's. lol

Its probably really a 3 cell battery wrapped in one probably 1500 or 1800mAh. So basically it can range from 4500mAh to 5400mAh. Anyways I understand your point but it does have its use where if you can't turn your phone off its goo for those who are on call. Or don't want to swap simple as that just like any extended battery's purpose.

Many off brand batteries make wild and excessive amp/hour claims they cannot possibly meet. The threads on xda documenting this behavior has been numerous and thorough. This strikes many as disingenuous and it has not been conducive to building customer trust.
That said, some of them do offer real value and the better known ones seem to be stable and safe. So, as long as you are aware that the offbrand battery is very likely to not match oem, it will give you the battery swap ability that we have all come to love in our Samsung devices. The prices are typically so low that in real economic terms they can be a better value. I've owned them all and have come to prefer oem, but not enough to dissuaded others from that
Sony Ericsson, Htc Kaiser, Samsung Captivate, Note I, Note II
Im using Note II LTE 7105.
I wish to ask is N7100 using the same battery as N7105? well because i have bought a battery from ebay
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/GOLD-4500...ht_2519wt_1139
and when i tell them im using Note II 7105 LTE, they reply me with this
"We understand that you would like to know if there's an issue with the battery because you purchased a N7100 battery where in fact your using N7105 LTE version.
The battery you purchased is compatible only for Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 not for N7105 LTE version.
May I know how do ou want to proceed with the transaction?"
Now this freaks me out. Can i confirm with you guys if the battery im purchasing from this e cell, is it usable?
interesting.....
As far as I know, it would be compatible.
called up some phone shop and they mentioned they (N7100 & N7105) ARE using the same battery. the ebay guy gaves me the impression that my phone will explode. lol
good thing is battery thickness is the same. 4500mah should be decent enough for that price though...

Onite is a non branded battery as well its a low brand that's not really popular. Anker is popular as well as good performance as well as cutted price compare to seidio or Mugen which aren't up to par.

It's non branded? Onite is the brand, and the OP posted a link to a battery with NO brand on it.

Do you like the feel of the phone with the extended case? It sits very well in my hand now.

It does definitely fit in my hand a lot better with the extended case. Much more comfortable to hold.

Just ordered and received a 6500 mA extended battery for my Note 2 for $13:
http://www.amazon.com/Extended-Tita...&sr=8-7&keywords=6500+note+2+extended+battery
I was using a QCell 6200 ($24) and this one looked just like it so I gave it a try.
It came with a battery cover that's identifical to the one from Qcell and is a perfect fit. I love the Qcell so I want to give this a try. For me, having a 6200/6500 mA battery is a balance between battery life (longer than stock) and weight (1/3 less weight than Zerolemon 9300).
I put this silicon case on it:
http://www.amazon.com/LiViTech-Extended-Battery-Silicone-Samsung/dp/B00AXV0MXG/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_img_y
Just fully charged it for the 1st time. Will report back.
I'm pretty sure its 6200 mAh, not 6500 mAh. And I was about ready to say "uh, just another generic battery with a questionable quality", until I saw they are sold by Bastexwireless - Zerolemon retailer. That should add some credibility
That was what prompted me to give it a try in the first place. ..

Interesting to hear how it turns out.
I've bought replacement batteries for previous phones in similar casing as that and it turned out to be junk.

Yes, I know. That's why I like to try
Here it is after 1st charge, with 15% left: Just normal web surfiing, some phone calls, texting, ebook reading, light gaming etc...
I think it's better than my Qcell. May be my Qcell 6200mA was just old (almost a year old).

5%/33h21m/13h54m
3%/40h36m/13h48m
6%/46h00m/13h41m
12/8/13, 4th: 10%/37h00m/16h30m

I have used Qcell 6200 and the Zerolemon 9300, and they both are great. Although I have noticed better battery life with the Zerolemon.

Of course ZL has better battery life. It's a 9300 mA while the Qcell is 6200. It's 50% more than the Qcell.

So far, I really like this battery. The battery life is good. Here are some updates:
(the other one I ordered from dx.com last less than 2/3 of this one, even though it also said 6500mA)

Dang sorry if you got ripped off.
My battery just arrived today and I must say I like it. In person its a lot thinner then people think with some extra juice. I put my extended battery on at 7:15 with 56%(that's how much charge it came with) and now with close to 4 hours later, im at 40% with moderate use. If I had my other battery on and was using it the way I was with this extended battery, my percentage will be around 10%...soo far so good. ill report back later with how it goes
Does anyone have a recommendation for cases for this battery other then the ones stated in the op. I ordered it and I dont like it. Any other suggestions I would gladly appreciate it thanks
anyone tried to run this with battery saver on?
Just curious if it would last even longer if you really tried to squeeze it.
