Close to stock battery cover with 3200mAh

This is the closest to the stock Hero door I could find with a extended battery. It comes with the 3200mAh battery and teh door for 79.95

I have not tryed this out becuase I dont have 79 dollars because I have spent my entire check on apps LOL. So if anyone has tryed this one out tell us about it.

but the battery cover isnt close to stock? lol
BUt 10 dollars cant go wrong! Ordering now.

Careful, that eBay item appears to be for the euro/GSM Hero, not the CDMA Sprint Hero. The backplate looks far too square to fit a CDMA Hero.

Yeah it's questionable, I bought one for the battery reviewer (from the battery reviews in my sig) so I can atleast find out if it's a good battery.

Ummm... ok here's a novel question... how do you cope with putting a case on your Hero when it comes to these extended batteries? I have the body glove case from Sprint and there is no way I could fit it on my Hero if I had a larger back cover. Do a lot of people just not have their Hero's in cases? Or what else are people using to protect their Heros? Cuz I wouldn't mind having one of them longer lasting batteries myself

They sell strap cases where you just put them on your belt loop and you can just insert your Hero into them and take them out. Not protected 100% percent of the time but it just makes you be more careful. But I just don't use a case on at all.

I ordered an Otterbox Impact series, 12 bucks from amazon.

heres one from ebay that acually goes to the HERO200 (cdma sprint hero) for like 16 bucks.. just incase you guys are still looking.. the door looks pretty close to stock.. hope this helps guys...

thats funny.. ive had plenty of mugen batteries in the past plus seidio..and never had one problem etc.. if that mugen 3200 mAh battery is really 1785 then wouldnt it not last very much longer than the stock battery? my brother has the mugen 3200 and it lasts almost as long as my seidio 3500 mAh..
so I dont understand how that can be true unless that mugen was defective!!!

actually....it's a 1790mAh batt instead of a 3200mAh, but even so it seems to last alot longer than the stock battery. I complained to the seller and I got it for free so whatever. I'll let you know how the new 2600mAh one is, I wish the batterboss would review (which btw, go check out his review on the Mugen "3200mAh")
I have the link in my sig, I mean Yes, the Mugen got near 2400mAh which is better than the no name....but at what, nearly 700-800% price increase!!!

The cover that comes with it fits well and is quite comfortable though sadly it doesn't incorporate the 1790mAh battery, so I still have to run with that coverless (though with a vinyl case as a back cover).
The battery itself has quite good battery life, and I'm sure it's going to get better with future charges. I'll let you guys know if it gets any better, though I can definitely recommend it at this point.

HTCPedia Extended Battery Case

Just giving a heads up in case anybody has seen these and thought about buying one.
HTCPedia.com is selling an "Extended Battery Fit Hard Rubber Case for HTC Droid Incredible." I'm new, so I can't post the link.
I purchased one of these since I currently have one of the extended batteries in my Dinc and haven't seen another case that works with it. I received it on Friday and was a little shocked. This is NOT a case designed to fit the Incredible with an Extended battery. It is a standard case manually cut to open the back up so the extended battery can fit through it. As if that wasn't bad enough, not only did it not fit...but the cut job was really crappy. Squared off corners instead of rounded, double cuts in some places that left slivers of the material sticking out, etc. If you are planning on getting one of these you are better off just buying the standard case and cutting it yourself. You'll save money and likely do a better job.
HTCPedia has not responded back to my emails yet either as to if this was a mistake or honestly what they are trying to sell. I'll let you know if they respond with anything.

Here's the link for the case.
The quality in the pictures looks pretty bad to me, would have been a pretty good indication of the quality you'd receive. It's also only made for the 2150 extended battery/back.

That case is the one verizon sells look at the red one it has the same design inside as the one from verizon!!!! Haha so they just cut out the back piece!!!

Yup, just cut it out. I did get a call back from HTCPedia just a few minutes ago and they are giving me a full refund. So that at least makes me feel a little better about the whole deal.

Mugen Power 3600 mAh extended battery

Hiya, I just purchased the 3600 mAh Mugen Power extended battery and the case it came with doesn't seem to have an antenna built into it. Would it be possible to fix on a thin strip of metal to the case and have it touch the connectors on the phone? If so, which metal would give the best reception or are the antennas more complex than just a line of wire? Thanks for any info!

mugen power accessories are really bad quality... i would buy it. if you do it yourself you can damage yourbdevice by short circuit...

Nice fail from mugen. No more calls with extended battery. Airplane mode will extend battery life even more

I think you should claim for a refund. According to your description their product is useless.
Thought Mugen was a high end battery supplier, but this is really an unacceptable major fail.
Thanks for sharing.

Hmm I need to rectify this mistake. Sorry it took so long for me to reply. After the initial few days of no responses I stopped monitoring this thread. I was at the beach when my roommate let me know the package had arrived. I asked him to open it and that's the conclusion he gave me when I asked. In the photos on the website you can't tell exactly so out of frantic worry and to find a solution I posted on here via my phone.
The truth is it's a pretty damn good battery. There is an antenna in the back cover and I'm not really sure why my friend thought there wasn't. Reception seems to be the same even though the antenna is bigger? Or maybe its around the same size if the stock back cover has it hidden in the plastic. The Mugen Power back case covers it with black tape. That aside, the cover feels fairly sturdy, though it could be improved a bit. Maybe some self modification would resolve that issue. It makes a bit more noise when you squeeze it than the stock cover but it doesn't feel like its going to come off or fracture.
As for the battery it seems to last me on average 40 hours before I feel the need to charge it. I'd say it isn't used heavily, more like my old phone where I just sent texts all day, called a few people and listened to music for a good number of hours. The longest I've had it go was 57 hours after letting it completely die. All in all I am quite satisfied aside from a few minor complaints about the case.
Once again I apologize about this, I jumped the gun. Also, the website I purchased it from http://www.pdaphone-battery.com will deliver if you order from them. I was worried it was a scam site since it looks extremely ghetto and no confirmation email or tracking number was sent to me after purchase. But as I said the shipping was speedy and they did send me what I ordered. They don't use https though which bugged me, however the paying part used PayPal so that was acceptable.

One more picture for better reference. I'll post a comparison picture of stock vs extended batter cover sizes if people are interested.

@Flappyraccoon
can we see inside the back cover/door...part of the signal ...TQ

You mean the bare antenna under the tape? Sure, I'll try to get pics up later today for ya.

Sorry but looks like a brick. What´s the weight of it now? Hope you´re satisfied.

I only pulled it back far enough so you could see what the antenna was made out of. Hope that is enough for ya. As for the second picture, when you look at it and feel with your fingers the antenna (I'm assuming its made from the same thin metal) is laid out in the path of the red line. It ends at the yellow line.
As for the phone brick, its not much heavier at least in my opinion. It also fits into my hand and doesn't wiggle around as much. This is because it fills in the gap between my hand and the phone. For me that is wonderful, maybe not for you .

Thats great news!
But I'm more excited about another battery - HLI-DesireZSL. It is originaly made for Desire Z, but MUGEN guys say its perfect in IS! It has 1800mAh, but use the standart HTC cover.

yoobau brand is another great battery ! but not come with higher mAH yet !

OMG is that a brick or the incS, how the hell do you use that!

It's not bad, and the 50+ hour battery life makes it worth it. Plus, that was before root and s-off . Now with an undervolted kernel and a debloated rom I'm hoping its a lot more ^_^.

Where can I buy a better battery that lasts the longest with the same old battery cover? Someone point me in the right direction? Nice battery life btw.

Same place, Mugen has a slim 1900mAh
I have it in my DInc2 and it last much longer than the OE one

Thanks, I'll look into it.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

Been using the 3600 Mugen for almost 3 weeks. I agree with Flappyraccoon that the phone fits into my hand better and feels less flimsy. I've dropped it less and reception difference is unnoticeable, but I live in a decent service region.
But the thin stock case does give me the appearance of having more sleek technology, and there's nothing like a dying battery at the end of one day's use for an excuse to stop talking with my girlfriend :$
I get about the same time out of it as Flappyraccoon. So much more comfortable using my phone whenever I want without worrying about later that evening. Easy to do a daily top up still but at my convenience, not the phone's urgency!

nexus s extended battery

I'm thinking of getting one but which one mugen 3300mh
Or sedio 3500 mh

get the seidio battery. this is the second extended battery i've bought from them. (had one for my evo 4g) so far it's been great. i can go at least 2 days on a single charge. just make sure you follow the instructions to get the most out of it. i charged mine over night and just let it completely die out. i'm using the matr1x kernel and i have it clocked at 1.2

thanks I was planning on getting 3500

you won't be disappointed.

I'm sure those cheap ones are fine, but I'm willing to pay a bit more to help ease the thoughts of a cheap battery....catching fire or exploding.

I just picked up a seidio 3500 from best buy today. Its big, reminds me of the old 5100 series Nokia from some years back but hoping for the best. I love the no slip coating on it though!

Anyone know where I should go to get one of the 3500mh batteries in Australia?

I got mine from Amazon. Here's their shipping policy for Australia:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=596190
I got mine yesterday and I love it so far. It does make the phone thicker, but I think the thickness is welcome, its easier to hold the phone to my ear with my shoulder. The battery cover is nice too. Just make sure you order the correct battery, the 4G is different from the regular NS and a few people left comments about it not fitting on Amazon.

Update - Im getting a solid two days of heavy use with this battery. I love not having to run to the charger. The second charge got me to 56hrs and I was at 4% IIRC. I forgot to take a screenshot though Ill take one on this charge. By this time of day Id already be down into the 60-70% range on the stock battery, but right now Im sitting at 81%
Side note - I also picked up the Seidio spring belt clip, and it fits perfectly with the extended battery due to the way the battery cover is. Its very sturdy and still gives you access to the lock button, volume rocker, charging port and headphone jack. Its also got a nice felt lining to protect the screen. I got it on eBay for $18 shipped.
Almost forgot to add, Im running NSCollab oc'd to 200 (screen off) 1200 (screen on) on demand.

Are there any extended batteries that will work with the stock back cover?
Just got a new seidio case and would like a new battery but don't want to have to lose the case for the extra battery.

Thats why I went with the Seidio. Its nowhere near as sexy as the stock battery cover, but the Mugen cover is much worse. Its just a big lump of plastic.

How different are the battery doors between the NS and the NS 4G? I need a couple of cheap extended batteries from eBay and the ones for the 4G are scarce and there are more choices for the NS.

Pretty sure its the exact same battery

Correct, its the same battery, but they use different doors if you go with an extended battery.
I accidently ordered the regular Nexus S extended from Amazon, luckily Amazon took care of me same day and re-routed the wrong package. <3 them.

My apologies, I meant out as available to order directly from otterbox.com.
The product was previously shown as "Coming Soon" from their site.

Just got my confirmation email from Otterbox last night 8)
Wonder if it will be too bulky for an already semi bulky phone?

Does it work with the car or media dock?

Sorry mate not sure, i wont get the dock, car mount or otterbox case untill a reliable source in Aus gets these for me which will be months away.
The Dock has a removable base that the phone sits in so I would probably think it should fit, I remember some1 else having some snap on cover for the D3 which worked in the Media Dock. Not sure about the car dock tho.

Does anybody know if the OtterBox can be used with the extended battery? Also, does it make the phone REALLY bulky? How's the top row of the keyboard?

I was expecting chunkier, but I think I'd still rather use my phone "naked"

You got it to fit with the extended battery? I received my Otterbox earlier today and I can't seem to get it.

Just got the Otterbox today and I can confirm it does fit with an extended battery. However the battery, which also came today, is a cheapo 2200mAh from amazon. It a bit bigger than the standard not sure if its the same size as the extended. I use it with the standard back and is not bulging out. Hopefully this is an extended and not labeled incorrectly.
[edit] This battery is not getting hot while charging. Its 77 and the standard it usually over 100. Though it may be misreported.

Let me know how the battery does compared to the stock! Mainly if its lasting longer than it or if the cheap batttery isn't worth the money.

Well the battery's not likely 2200mAh. It gets about the same life as the stock 1500. Still worth the 5 bucks I paid. It's GTMax brand if anyone's interested.

I'm kind of mad I bought the shell/holster they offered, thing's great. But, this looks badass, lol.

The vzw holster is crap as far as i'm concerned. When I got a replacement for a vibrate motor problem I noticed how the new one was much more sturdy when sliding out the keyboard. The case caused it to come loose. The clip near the back of the front camera is too tall and the screen pulled upwards.
Decided to take off the battery cover and see how it fits in the Otterbox. There's no problems it even feels a bit smaller almost as though there's no case on the back. Even tried dropping it from about a foot to see if the battery or sim or sdcard would fall out, didn't move at all. So there should be no problem with an extended battery. Someone at androidforums cut the battery cover to make the extended battery fit. Doesn't sound like a very good idea but I guess it's another option.

Hmm. I have no issues with the vzw one *knock on wood* and its on my hip all day. I have bumped into a few doors at work directly on it (as well as some stupid people in the metro) its held its ground so far.

Nice. Just wish they had it in

The OtterBox case can be found on amazon for around $25 shipped, it's well worth it. Best case I ever had for a phone. I got it to work with the Motorola extended battery, I just modified the stock battery cover with a dremel and alot of patience.

How much was actually 'shaved'? Did it go through the cover all the way and expose the insides at all?

Oh yeah almost the whole battery is exposed, but the inside of the otter box is silicon and it seal everything up and holds it tight. The original battery cover sacrificed his life so that I could use my extended battery. I still have the extended battery cover if I ever choose to take off the ottterbox. There's a thread at droidforums.net that I posted pics and all in.
