Hyperion Note 2 extended battery/cover

Had one of these on my S3 and just bought one for my GN2. Anxiously awaiting their honeycomb case to follow soon.

I have one for the S3 and I LOVE IT!! Best $20 bucks I ever spent on a phone battery. My worry with this one though is no mention of NFC on it. The Note 2 has NFC on the case again not on the battery like the S3. If this has NFC then you will officially have a phone that lasts longer than a Tablet

No NFC, no thanks.
I bought one of these (can't post links, but do a search on ebay for note 2 7600 and you'll find it). Decided if I was going to extend the battery I might as well do it properly, and a 7600MA battery is about as big as I could find! Figured if it was crap I'd only wasted £15! Turns out it's rather good. It does add a bit of depth to the phone (about 10mm), but for me at least it actually makes it more comfortable in my hand. And it has the added bonus of keeping the camera lens away from whatever surface the phone is on. Can't comment on whether the nfc works or not I'm afraid as it's not something I use.

yeah, I think those go over the battery cover. anyways, I contacted Hyperion asking where I could buy some, and they just sent me 2 for free

6500 mah extended battery and back cover for less than $10?

I have seen those on ebay. Has anybody tried those? Same type of battery costs 10 times more with Mugen.

didn't you already make this joke?
Thanks guys! Something too good to be true I guess.
Actually I bought this battery, cover and charger off ebay 2 weeks ago and imho its awesome, typically my stock battery gives me 7.5 hrs screen time over 1.5 days, the 6500mah battery gives me TWELVE hours screen time over 2 days. I only switch wifi or 3g/4g on when I need them with sync off and this applies to the stock result as well, I know china batteries are usually sub standard and do not perform anywhere near their quoted mah capacity but in this case its pretty good and for £8.50 delivered exceptional value, if I get ONE year of consistent performance I will buy it again.

I believe these have the capacity of two chinese batteries in one, whatever that means. Still it should be better than stock battery.

Mugen is overpriced. Why not Momax? They use LG cells. I've had a fat Momax extended battery on my SGS2 for 18 months and no issues at all. It lasted about twice as long as expected from the numbers.
Really cheap batteries leave me nervous. I sleep with my phone charging next to me and would not like to wake up in a fire or worse.
But Mugen? I'm quite unlikely to drop $100 for a battery. But won't go for $10 ones either. If Momax doesn't release their extended for the Note II soon, I'll just find something similar.

I purchased two 7600mah batteries for both the wife's N2 and my own off eBay. May not be true measurements, but awesome life when not corded. They were purchased for about $12 usd. All I can say is it might not be Mugen, but close enough for the bang of the buck.

Well, the Veblen effect might apply to extended batteries too. But in general if the difference is too big I tend to suspect that they are using cheap cells and/or lying regarding capacity. It is not always easy to measure the numbers accurately.

Extended battery 3600 mAh or 4300 mAh?

Hello, has anyone ever used either of these batteries? I saw them listed on ebay, and there are many sellers for these. Unfortunately, since you can't see any product reviews on ebay, unlike on amazon, I can't tell if it's any good or not.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Yes the 4300 on ebay. It seems fine. Let's clear this up a little more. My battery on heavy use drained between 10 to 15 % an hour. With this battery it is around 5%. I hope this clears it up some more for you.

IMO B is way uglier, but A has better colour

No it is going strong since 4 month's. I done earlier post I posted the link for the 4300 mAh I use. But also this gold battery 2680MAH is a really big improvement on battery life in still the same size like the original battery. I wonder why not lg Samsung and Co can but more juice in the same battery but obviously others can. I always questioning this.

That's exactly what u have. No it does not has nfc. The only battery that is bigger and has nfc is the one from mugen. But that 2680MAH has it. Well it still is able to fit in ur normal battery back so. I heard someone mention that those gold batteries are sold out. And if u buy that bigger battery make sure to follow the charging and recharging procedure. Put in ur phone let it run down to 5% then charge it for around 12 hours. Make sure u do not interrup the charging. Then after that the same always let it go down to around 5 and charge it for around 8 hours. Ur phone is gonna tell u that the battery is full like after 2 hours. That's not right. Since it goes by the standard battery. Trust me 12 hours 5% and afterwards 8 hours 5%. Makes sense since the battery is a little bigger then twice the original one.
And look at this when do u ever get after over 15 with using the phone still 62% battery life left? Never ever. Also I used it with 1500 mhz speed I use it the standard speeds no under or overclocking. Kept that in mind.

Yeah no issues. The golden and the 4300 mAh are both made with Japanese cells so it is all good. Also they have overcharging protection. I had no issues at all. It makes my phone finally usable. I went 2 days 16 hours without charging. I take that over a little bit bulk. Or 2 to 4 hours more with that golden.

Extended Battery

Was wondering if anyone knows of a good extended battery?
Im kind of weary of them because before my Note II, I had an HTC EVO 3D and tried using an extended battery and it just fried the the display, it never worked again.
So I was wondering if someone could link me to an extended battery that actually worked for them, I would much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance .

Mugen is crazy asking for $100. I just got my Anker yesterday for 16 bucks on Amazon. Popped it in my phone and it had 50% juice in it. Right now almost 24 hours later I'm sitting at 35%. Still far from being able to tell how good it will be because I haven't had it long enough but it seems very promising.

Hey guys I just got the hyperion 6200 with extended cover and here are my results so far in pics below.
I've had the screen brightness on about %20 the whole time. If you dont mind the bulk this thing is a beast! As of right now it was definitely worth $20. Hope this helps.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Thats not much better then stock battery imo, I can easily go 14-20+ hrs with at least 6-7 screen on time heavy usage. The note 2 is a phone that doesn't need an extended battery and deserves to stay the sexy ***** of a phone that it is (no prego back bump needed ) lol
Sent from my SCH-I605 aka macks jellybeans rom.
I definitely agree with the preggo look lol, but so far it seems like its gonna get through 2 days with heavy usage. I do like how long this battery is lasting, but only time will tell if I decide to fully stay with it.

You really can't compare your use to anyone else's. There are too many variables. It's best to compare with yourself. If you consistently get "35 hours with stock battery" would you get 70 with this one? Does anyone who uses an extended battery double or at least increase their usage considerably with it while maintaining the same usage patterns?

Well said! I did double my usage of two days instead of one through my first full charge (heavy user). I always keep my brightness at 20%, some calls emails, some gaming, constantly syncing, and mp3 player at least 4 hours a day. I kept my usage pattern the same since im mostly using it for work.
Only time will tell how long it'll last and how well it'll perform. For right now im happy with the purchase.

Mine came with a piece of crap NFC that didn't even work. I ended up using the one from the stock case and scotch taped it to the phone. Lol works just like the OEM backplate now. It only looks bad when you show off the battery.
Funny enough I've had four different backplates and the only two that worked were the OEM ones.
