Like title says.. I've been trying to find a extended battery which has higher capacity yet the size of the original battery but no luck
Does anyone know if there is one and where to fine one
Thanks

are you sure that's even possible ? unless the battery was made of some other kind of materials, I have tyrouble seeing how you could store more power in the same battery size.
If you don't want a bigger phone, Your best bet would probably be to buy a second standard battery but it's a hassle to swap the battery when it's empty
If the battery is the same size it could in theory have more juice but it would be negligible. Seriously though, I picked up a charging cradle with battery charging slot and 2 spare batteries for $20. I also have a car charger and 3 chargers in my house. Unless you get a battery that is about double the size, you won't see a big difference and even then many batteries don't live up to their specs. Chargers and spare batteries are cheap. We're not dealing with smartphones of a decade ago where everything was proprietary and would cost at least $30 a pop.

I remember reading something about this... I think it might have even been on this forum but it was something along the lines of "Don't you think, if it were possible to fit more juice into the same size battery, that samsung wouldn't do that with their OEM batteries?"
Samsung, and I'm sure many other major device manufacturers don't just buy a battery off ebay and throw it in their phones. they spend time and money researching better battery technologies to get the best power/life they can.
It's my second day with an Andida 1850mAh battery, no big changes yet compared to my 8 month old 1500mAh OEM battery, i'll post back after a few complete drain and charge cycles.

Be careful buying those batteries. More often than not they just repackage 1500 batteries and Mark up the price :/

After 3 complete charge cycle its a little bit better than OEM but no big improvement. I'll see in a few more days.
I finally get about 15% better battery life. For the 20$ it cost me, I'm happy.

How long have you had the battery? I'm looking for a new one as well but not if I am going to get scammed. Thanks!
Not Nexus related, but I have a vibrant that I got the Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch battery for recently. Battery life went from about 6 hours to dead (month old 1500 mAh replacement battery bought at a phone hut) to 34 hours to dead (new samsung 1800mAh battery.) Nothing else changed.
My point is this:
1. If the above statements about samsung packing in as much as possible are true, why didn't the vibrant have a 1800mAh battery from the start? (hint, it is always about money.)
2. Take a crap 1500 mAh battery, slap a 1800 mAh sticker on it. People that buy these batteries will see an improvement because most generally they are replacing a worn out battery with a new one. Of course you will see an improvement, your worn out stock battery has only (arbitrary number) 600 mAh worth of usefulness left. The replacement is new and is not worn yet. (All arbitrary numbers follow) So, you will still see an improvement if you take a rated 1500mAh battery, that is labeled 1800mAh, but is in actuality only 1000mAh.
So asking if there is another, bigger, better battery for the Nexus made by Samsung, is a very valid question. So:

Because it is a device from 2 years ago (2010) and the S2 is from q3 2011. Maybe two years allowed them to cram more juice into the battery.
Maybe it wasn't viable then, to stick such a large battery, considering the power consumption of the vibrant compared to the S2. Maybe if they did the price would have gone up.
I highly doubt that Samsung would just stick different stickers on the same capacity batteries. maybe you had a defective or a non-original one. There are people that measure this kind of stuff. How much damage would Samsung's image suffer if someone found out that they sell a 1000 mAh battery with different labels and price tags?
I got a gold 2430 mah battery from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...093799?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5edcdce7
i don't know about it holding 2430mah, but it's far better than my 1 year old stock battery. i can post some battery usage stats later.

"Take a crap 1500 mAh battery" In this case "crap"="non oem"
I figured that would be obvious with my prior "phone hut" comment. I guess not.
----------------
I am a big fan of the OEM batteries. I have not tested a non-oem battery that will perform anywhere close to the stated specifications so far.
If you guys find some good battery reviews, tests, etc. please post up.
Keep in mind that comparing a brand new "Craptastic Brand™" battery to your old worn out OEM battery is kind of pointless for getting a feel of the comparative quality/capacity of a battery.

OEM is 3100mah which is the same as the anker (supposedly)
anyways, just bought the 2x battery + charger combo since don't have a charger for the Note 2 batteries and that's like $4 alone on ebay anyways.
is there any difference in the actual battery life between the OEM and Anker?
There is a MUGEN battery that is 100mAh bigger (therefore providing approx. 3% longer use of out SGN2:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100.html
to be honest, I´ll stay with the stock battery and just optimize my phone with android tuner / Automate It Pro and other tools to get more than 3% additional time... At this moment I am getting 1 full day (18h-19h) of very heavy use with WiFi and 3G on w/o any optimization.
With my settings running I am getting up to 30h of heavy use...
I don´t think that paying 45 USD is worth the additional 100mAh more but I might be wrong

I have contacted MUGEN a few days ago and this is what I've got as a reply:
"Thank you for your email!
Yes, we will have 5000+mAh battery for Note 2 at December."
So this might be a good thing, I just hope that it will not be bigger in thickness, maybe they can figure out how to make it the same size, but i highly doubt it unfortunately

I suppose it will be thicker than the stock. Anker did not offer any improvement in mAh, Mugen offers only +100mAh so I doubt that you can fit additional 1900mAh w/o making the battery thicker. 1-2 mm thicker battery won´t be much of a problem because you still could fit that battery under the plastic cover (tried it out). we´ll see I think, but I am not getting anything that makes my SGN2 any thicker as it is.
EDIT: there is a 4200mAh battery (I suppose total crap, just look at the price) available: http://www.eforchina.com/view/12921...attery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II---N7100.htm
With this I suppose a 5000mAh battery from Mugen should be possible w/o making it thicker than 1-2mm (lets hope "fingers crossed")
I'm patiently waiting for the Mugen "super" battery. LOL!
I've always had great results in the past, however I've always sacrificed the thinness of every phone I've owned. I guess that's the toss up.

I think that Samsung is improving their own batteries so there is less room for improvement with aftermarket. The Anker battery in my S2 was better than stock, but that wasn't the case with their S3 batteries. Either way, having a spare battery available is really really cool when your away from a charger

Is it worth the investment?
what about the mugen battery?
When you can get an Anker for $8.99, it's beyond me why some one would pay for an overpriced Mugen.
great price.. but i've never had Anker before.. how long do they last? Those cheap chinese batteries that I've had in the past (for my HD2 for example) lasts about 4-5 months and would refuse to charge after that. How is Anker?

Please don't respond with a negative comment when you have no idea what quality Onite offers. I own both the n7000 and n7100 and with the original note I bought 2 Onite batteries with a charger. These batteries run just as good if not better. The weight on them were 1 gram heavier. The charger does take about 8 hours but the slower the better.
I'm now ordering 2 more of these with the charger for the n7100 off of Amazon for around 30. I will keep this thread alive with the results after I receive them Thursday.

Uh... you respond to a negative commend with a negative comment, and that's ok? He's actually correct... Onite advertises a higher mAh rating and then under-performs.
It is YOU who doesn't know the quality that Onite offers. They run worse, if not the worst. And what does battery weight have to do with it?
Take a look, Onite saying it has 200 additional mAh, yet not performing as well as a smaller battery.

My apologies to DarthPiggie for the rude post earlier, but I still stand by my word on this battery. Do you have any previous experience with Onite? I only included weight on the battery, since I know some people are kind of weird about that and I happened to have a scale nearby.
Tonight was my first night I used the Onite from a full charge and this is what I have so far. I used ePSXe for the first 1.5 hours of screen time on the phone earlier tonight to see how fast I could get my battery to drain.
I have experience with Hyperion and it wasn't a good one. Both of their batteries contained less juice than the sick battery even though they advertised the same.
Add for Orion, I have never used them myself but I have read other user's experiences and Amazon customer reviews. In general they seem to also be inconsistent. Anker seems to have a much better reputation than the other manufacturers and they actually seem to know what they're doing.
I'm just imparting my collective advice.

I think a lot batteries are like used cars. Most run okay, some run great, and some are crap from the get go. I know on the original note I bought one of the gold extended batteries and I had a very good experience with it while others did not. I may pick up these 2 with the charger.
I literally bought a 2430 mah gold battery for my Iphone 3gs 32gb to use as an ipod for the gym and it burned my board up after noticing the battery never turning the phone on and thus getting extremely hot. I test my voltages of each battery when I get them fully charged to make sure they are at what they are rated. You should peel the sticker off on that gold battery to reveal the truth.
Also, running a program to kill off every task that isn't needed when your screen is off greatly helps your battery life too.

Yeah when you take the screen and logic board out of the 3gs. It's not swappable but like any other piece of electronics, it's changeable.
Killing apps actually wastes more battery because the operating system has to repopulate memory with apps. You are effectively adding unnecessary overhead to the OS. This phone has 2GB of RAM. It is not going to run out of memory like that. Android manages apps very efficiently now anyways. Take this from a software engineer: you're better off without the app killers.

I think you are misunderstanding my use of it. I am not worried one bit about ram, it's actually 1.75gb usable. I have it killing the tasks that open and keep running in the background. For example, even if you close Facebook, you would have to go into the settings of it and logout to fully keep the app from running in the background.
Do you ever hold the home button down to go into the task manager to clear the ram out?
I am on the 4th charge cycle of this Onite battery that I bought. For me it has worked out quite well.
I have had very pleasing results as well and even more happy always having 2 batteries charged to pop right in. I picked up the 6500mah extended battery by Onite as well and haven't had the time yet to run a few discharges but to a bit of a surprise it included NFC. I can confirm from 2 batteries on the n7000 and n7100 each that Onite is a reputable brand not to look past at.

Yes I do, it's right here I suggest getting the 2 batteries, since it's only $6 more. The charge is pretty flimsy for the note 2. It sits in horizontally and these plastic tabs broke on me to keep it to the charging terminal, rubber band is a simple fix.
Note that the charger is .35A so if the battery really is 3500mah then it will take 10 hours.

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.

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.

Yeah, reading my post again I think I was a little too critical. I find this thing absurd, but to each their own.
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

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.

I got one of these anker 3100 mah batteries that I swear lasts longer then stock samsung 3100mah. Heres a link to a review vectron did on it, I dont trust too many other brands when they say it has higher than stock 3100 but anker has made me a believer. (Zerolemon as well but thats another topic )

It's probably because the battery is newer than your stock one, they lose efficiency overtime.
There's no battery that's stock size with a higher mah OP.

Anker does make excellent batteries! I have about 6 of their batteries for my Evo 3D, and those have a higher mah but are the same size as factory. They definitely last much longer than stock! Actually my sister and brother in law are still using their Evo 3Ds as their primary mobile phones (upgrading next week) and they also bought some Anker batteries after hearing me go on about how happy I was with them. I do agree with the above post though, it probably does last longer simply because it's newer. I'm a firm believer that Anker's mah ratings are very accurate, and if it was truly a higher mah then it would be marked as so. Why not too, as they'd sell more if it truly was a higher mah than stock yet still the same size. Either way, I appreciate your reply and willingness to help out!

I've seen quite a few on eBay, but wanted to know if anyone in here had tried them. Don't wanna buy one if it isn't truly a higher mah, as I've never heard of the battery manufacturers who make them. If they were made by Anker or another battery manufacturer that I've heard of, then I would have already ordered. Guess I'll just buy a 3rd OEM Samsung battery then. Thanks for the reply!

It isn't. Just as josh said it's not possible to put higher mAh battery in the same footprint as the stock battery without a evolution in battery technology, which is a few years away.

Well Anker somehow managed to make their Evo 3D batteries last a few hours longer than the stock battery. Not just me saying that either. If you check out the Evo 3D section (haven't been there in over a year, so don't know how deep the thread is buried by now), you'll see many users praising the Anker batteries.
Not saying that your info is false, just saying Anker was able to. Guess it's possible that HTC just didn't use all of the battery space that they had available, and Anker did? Don't know much about that technology, just that Anker definitely beat the stock HTC Evo 3D battery!

Stay away from eBay batteries. All the "gold" 4200 mAh are actually 2000 mAh. Other ones either close to 3k mAh or below. Anker and Hyperion are the only replacement brands I trust, with preference toward Anker. Been using their 3100 mAh replacement for awhile and it still performs better than oem.

There's been a lot of other phones that have eventually had aftermarket batteries which did have a higher mah in the same footprint; especially a couple years ago.
Unfortunately now though it seems lithium ion manufacturing has reached its full potential and we're pretty much at a standstill in the evolution of consumer battery technology until a more efficient material or process is stable enough for mass consumption.
The race to figure out what's the overall best solution in terms of cost, stability, and efficiency is actually very interesting to follow. There's a lot of research going on from a lot of different players with tons of different ideas right now. If it comes down to a certain lab or company that can really implement the best balance of those main factors they stand to make a ton of money from the IP.

The battery may have performed better but I guarantee it wasn't a higher capacity.

There are other battery brands that can be trusted... Mugen and zero lemon should be mentioned in the same breath.

If they're actually the same mah, then EVERY phone manufacturer should be paying Anker to dollar to make batteries for them!! There batteries will last close to twice as long as the factory HTC battery!! If it was an hour or two then no biggie, but the Anker's put the HTC's to shame!!
Sent from my White Sprint Note 2 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
FYI, Anker does NOT manufacturer their products. They find China suppliers, test their products to make sure it performs as expected and meet all the requirements, buy them in bulk, and test every single product before they sell it. That is how they can keep the price low (cost saving of not having to actually design the product) and being able to offer 18-month warranty on every product because they test everything. They put a lot of work into choosing and testing these products (check out ianker.com or some of my reviews of their other stuff), and re-brand it with their name. Similar to what Monoprice starting to do lately, trying to widespread into other product lines outside of cables.

There's a lot that could explain that. The 3d is old in tech time I think my Gnex was newer and even Samsung themselves came out with a replacement battery after its release that packed almost 25% more mah in the same size cavity. So your anker could very well have more mah. Should it say on both batteries look at them.
Besides that I think HTC used to use nicad batteries until they switched to all unibody designs; maybe the anker is lithium.
And of course batteries suffer from a capacity attrition through charge cycles.

I completely agree with what you said!! The batteries do in fact say that they have more mah. By lasting almost twice as long as the factory HTC battery, that leads me to believe that they actually do in fact have more mah while being the same physical size. I am just surprised, as it's new info to me, that no battery that is the same physical size as the factory battery can actually have more mah. That's what others were saying and I've never heard that before anywhere, so that's totally new info to me. I understand that this may very well be the case in some scenarios, but not every scenario.....
Also, I'm not comparing a used HTC battery to a new Anker battery. I've compared new HTC batteries to new Anker batteries.

Well anker has proven to be a reputable company; if they listed a higher capacity I don't think anyone here would doubt them.
It's just that we're discussing this in the note 2 forum, and for the note 2 we've all learned there is no aftermarket battery that is stock size and actually has more mah.
There's only one company, called Gold, that advertises a higher than stock mah in the same size. It's been proven to be a scam.
So depending on the device, aftermarket stock size batteries can have higher mah. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it), this is not the case with this particular device.

Correct. I got with Mugen guys into a heated argument on this forum. They pretty much came forward explaining the reason why their battery cost so much because of the original development cost and international support. I still don't justify that as a reason to charge $105 for 6400 mAh ext battery when Anker and Hyperion were charging $20 for 6200 mAh, but it's a different discussion...

Ok, cool. I guess I misinterpreted the replies then. I thought the replies were saying that no aftermarket battery that is the same physical size as a factory battery could have more mah. If they were referring to the Note 2 specifically, then that is totally understandable! I just read/took it wrong. I know we're in the Note 2 accessories forums, just thought the replies wouldn't have been as vague, that's all. Thanks for your clarification though man!!
