Heading out for a 4 day camping trip over July 4th and was planning to get the zerolemon but now its sold out.
Whats the best 2nd choice?
Hyperion?
The hyperion is what I would go with for an extended battery or if you just wanted to swap out batteries I would go with the Anker batteries.

Hyperion would be your best bet at this point.

I would go External such as the Anker Astro3 10000mha. It goes for $50. The nice thing, it has two USB ports. It has extensions that can be use for devices without USB ports like radios. I use it with an ASUS Transformer Infinity Pad which needs 2.1amps at 12V to charge.
You can also looke at Monoprice. They carry some external batterries. Life Hacker last week had an article, Five Best External Batteries, a Monoprice was recommended. A different Astro as well.
If may be worth checking out the Astro Pro2 20000mha. Only has one USB port, but can still use with other devices. It's $90, which is double the cost of the Astro3, but also double capacity.
Wait a few days, zerolemon might be back in stock

Ahh I got mine before I think the reason why they may be discontinued it was simply because of the fact that the battery cover design didn't latch in all the way and that could have been simply fixed by doing it properly but I guess they were too cheap to do that so they just stopped altogether.

Hyperion is a good one.
I'm very happy with my Hyperion 6200mAh battery but I recommend getting the tpu case with it for about $10 more. The back cover is very slippery without a case. I'm getting around 13-14 hours of screen time with it.
With my heavy usage I'd still need 2 of these Hyperion batteries for a 4 day trip lol.

Not really. The E4 has a 13000 battery. But it doesn't have DC port to power other devices that are not USB powered. Although, the E4 is new, it's not as robust. There is a nice thread to illustrate the point about being more robust: [ASUS Transformer Infinity Pad(TF700) 10,000 mAh external battery for your TF700 (and other devices)!!. That thread is actually how I learned about it and why I got one.
I have used it with GN2 at sporting events and various other locations where I knew I would be in heavy use and wanted to make sure the phone would last all day. It's pretty portable too. It's fairly portable. Something that should be easy to take on trips. I did two comparison shots

Yeah, like said above, go to menu > make available offline. You can make multiple offline maps for different areas (there is a size limit for each map). Be aware, to use the navigation, even with offline maps, you have to have a data connection 1st.
Another option is to download an offline app like Open Street Maps or any other to your liking.

I believe the Samsung Captivate's battery (or any of the other Galaxy S batteries) will work with the Focus. There was a thread about it a few months ago but I couldn't find it and I have not tried it myself.
They do work, I use a spare battery I have from when I had a galaxy s on sprint.

I don't want a spare. I want one with double the capacity :-D

Mugen do a 1600mAh battery that uses the OEM battery cover and a 3200mAh battery (more than double the capacity) that comes with a replacement rear cover. Turns your beautiful slimline Focus into a brick tho'.
Also no way I'd be paying $100 for a spare battery, I'd rather buy a couple of stock spares to swap in for far less money and keep the beautiful profile of the Focus.
Just my 2c.
I didn't buy the focus because its thin. I bought it for the screen + expandable storage that doesnt work yet.
It'd still be nice to keep it as thin as possible though, right?
Either way, doesn't look like there are many options out there... The Focus seems like a fairly popular device all things considered, but HTC is simply dominating the WP7 market. Although there are a few Focus specific accessories out there, it looks like the phone may be doomed to seeing a $100 battery from Mugen Power alone :/
Wish there a few more options available. The stock battery is OK, but if you use your phone often, it isn't good enough. I have two extra batteries to help for that issue, but without an easy way to charge these extras, it gets annoying to keep them all full.

I wouldn't expect miracles. Maybe a maximum of 15-20% extra time, but I wouldn't stretch that far
.
On the website the description is more accurate, as on other webites you get "double the standby time and talk time" which is of course, not true.
Quote from Momax website:
* Use the highest-capacity batteries, long standby time, high stability, performance, consistent with the original.
* Advanced Lithium-ion technology, high performance output.
* Battery charging times of up to 500 times or more, environmental protection, and durable.
* Use imported IC components, precision protection circuit board prevents battery overcharge and the positive and negative transient short-circuit, safe, secure.
* Equipped with short-circuit. Overcurrent device in line with international safety standards.
* Production in line with ISO 9002 and ISO 14001 specifications.
Someone here at XDA bought one and I don't see any follow-up which makes me think there's nothing special to expect...
I wouldn't expect miracles either, however I use my phone a fair amount and I usually am forced to sleep with my phone off (which I hate doing). Enough to last through the night would be wonderful.
I was, at first, dubious to spend $80 on a battery that physically fattens my phone by like 40%, but after my first full charge/discharge using Battery Monitor to track my progress, I am fully convinced of the value...

This was with moderate use; some gaming, some internet usage, a bunch of various phone calls, some navigation in my car, etc. Also a fair amount of sleep time, though. At no point did I turn the phone off however; it was powered on the entire time. Let's see... 2 Days (48hrs) plus 16.5hrs = about 65hrs total. plus the remaining 5% or so, equals, maybe 66 or 67 hours? On one single charge? Awesome.
I know your mileage may vary, depending on your phone usage habits, but I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with the 3600mAh Mugen battery and definitely recommend it. I even actually like the way it makes my phone feel a little beefier in my hand, instead of like a scrawny little wafer; it makes it easier to grasp and type on. I also keep the fully-charged MOTO 1880mAh battery in my glove box for a backup as well, since it is worth a good 15-24 hours or so.
Any other good/bad experiences with batteries?
[EDIT] - Aw crap, I thought I was in the Droid 3 Accessories sub-forum, my bad... Can a mod maybe move this over there..? Thanks... 0.0
Even if it was 10000mah i'd still not use it because it makes already chunky phone twice as thick
Hell i was getting 3days on Liberty with the Motorola Extended Battery. Given I didn't use my phone all that much its still impressive.
I'd try Liberty or another custom GB rom, I'm sure you'll get even better.
Take a pic of the phone profile. Wanna see how fat your D3 is.
Sent from my XT860 using xda app-developers app
Does it get hotter than normal when you use it with games?
I live in Hawaii, so it pretty much always got hot during games; I haven't noticed it getting any hotter though.
It definitely fattens up the phone a bit, so if you're obsessed with a super-slim phone you might wanna stick with the previously-mentioned energy-efficient ROM and the slim 1880 MOTO battery (Or just buy a keyboardless ultra-slim phone). I like the thickness and super battery life though. Here's a few shots of it next to my wife's XPERIA Play, which, if you notice, is even fatter than my D3, and it only has a 2600mAh extended battery while mine has the 3600mAh...
Can you post a link to the aforementioned battery? I would like to purchase one as well.

you can get Mugen Droid 3 battery from official Mugen webshop
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/motorola/verizon-motorola-driod-3.html
they have 3600mAh (extra backdoor) and 1700mAh (original cover)
Plus FYI: Mugen gives 7% facebook discount.
And Mugen offers warranty and customer support if the item is purchased from their official website, which is always a good thing to rely on.
OK well, here's one more... Exactly 96 hours (4 days) since last charge with 1% battery left, although I rarely used the phone during this period because I was working a lot; it spent a lot of down-time sitting in a cubby-hole outside of the place I work because they have cell phone restrictions. I did use it for GPS a few times though, and played Trolls n Towers and Trial Xtreme 2 Winter for awhile, as well as your average phone calls and texting activity. It spent a lot of time sleeping, but still... four entire days for a fairly large touch-screen smart-phone on one charge. Not too shabby. In fact I think it's the best I've ever had on any phone/battery combo so far, personally.
Hi.
I want to buy a new extended battery for my droid 3 because without WIFI I can't make the day on one charge.
Also, it skips from 10% to 4% in 1 second. (on all roms)
I'd prefer not to have a much thicker battery(case) but a little bit won't hurt. (so not the 3500 mah )
Anyway, I searched ebay and found many many batteries in the $3-6 range incl. shipment that claim to have 1800-2000mah:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-1950mAh...469871?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cbc6fa02f
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-1800mah...579346?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab4b8a3d2
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Replace...962837?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab65a7a95
Surely these can't be 'real'? They must be like 1000mAh, if any?
Does anyone have experience with these cheap batteries? If so, which one?
I know some have anker 1800 but they don't ship outside the US.
Thanks

I tried a cheap ebay battery that cost 4$ or so and it didnt fit.
Looks like you got a good one.
I've always purchased my goodies from eBay because I never liked going to shop for them.. x3
Just shop around, look at the images, and read the descriptions. I've never had problems, though the batteries I purchased recently were for my old D2G. I received two of them from China with what looked like a custom-built battery charger and.. Well. A year later everything was still discharging and charging properly, no qualms! :]
If it looks shady, skip it and go to the next listing, basically.
Been using it for couple of days now. Wasn't able to make a battery usage screenshot because every day I either charged it or rebooted my phone causing the recording to mess up.
Anyway it's definitely an improvement over my stock battery. Had a heavy-usage (3G only) day at work yesterday (quiet day ) and before I had to charge my droid 3 coming home. Now, it had 40% left :good::laugh:
I'll try to make a screenshot soon.

http://www.amazon.com/GT-N7100-SCH-...keywords=samsung+galaxy+note+ii+anker+battery
I have been using the battery for about a week now and i must say i think Anker lied about mAh rating! lol This thing is for sure a step up from thre stock Samsung battery! After a couple of good charge cycles i have experienced AMAZING batt life! Really nice piece for the money! I have a fe batt stat screen shots but they are somewhat irrelevant considering the static nature of a phones use throughout any given day. I would HIGHLY recommend the battery though. I looked at a few "higher" mAh batteries....but those dinky cheap looking batteries worry me. I have had bad luck with the "gold" batts in the past with my S2. But anyway here are a couple screenshots.....sorry i forgot screen on times
Screen on time?
thanks a lot for the review
I too am an Anker fan. Got the batts for my SII and they are still working great.
I just ordered the two battery pack set with charger a while ago. Now time to look for a spare battery cover lol.
What kind of font or theme is that? Looks like something from ST TMP.
Hmm, I'm at 1d 8h and 29% on the stock battery.
Please post a picture of "Screen > Time On"
Also, have you tried the Mugen batteries at some point compared to the Anker? If so, which would be better?

Ugh, that's pretty bad concidering. What's your screen time? With 3-5 hours of screen on time, I am still getting a lot more than a day out of the battery. I haven't seen anything here to suggest this new battery is any better than stock or OEM.
Is that battery for Samsung note?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
yup for the note 2 as it shows on the battery
How many amps is the charger?
I got 2 no name batteries with a wall charger off ebay.
The batteries seem OK. Not, not as good as stock, they were only $6 each and will do fine as back ups/spares for when I travel..
But the wall charger is only 800mA, so it takes ages to charge the batteries.
I will really only use the spares when I travel, as I can charge my stock battery in the phone at home and work quite easily, and it lasts me a day with no problems. So, fast charging is important if I only have a few hours at an airport, hotel, meeting etc.
Thanks for posting this. I almost ordered the Samsung one if it wasn't sold out. This is crazy cheap compared to the Samsung one, do you have a separate charger for it?

My stock battery was lost too much performance (about 1/2)
I'm interested in this battery, nowwaiting a momax 3100mah, perhaps similar performance will have both (anker and momax).
Sorry guys....here are updated pics with screen on times....decent so far today.
Sorry for the nooby question but, does the battery in the Note 2 play a role in NFC and if so does the Anker support NFC? I am new to Samsung devices but not to XDA and Android.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

The NFC chip is in the back cover and not the battery for the Note 2. For the Galaxy S2 it was in the battery.
Hopefully someone here can help. I absolutely love my s6 Edge. What I don't love is the battery life. Today I took it off the charger at 6:40am. By 3pm I was down to 31%. I fully charged it and at 11:20pm I'm down to 18%. I'm looking for an ultra portable charger. Something small that can give me one full charge. Small enough to fit in my pocket and wouldn't be noticeable or uncomfortable. Preferably with a built in cord.

I placed order for iMuca external power case. It looks slim and offers 2000mah battery. See if it is interesting for you!

best portable battery charger. it has Qualcomm's fast charge 2.0 to charge your phone and it will charge itself using fast charge too. its also aluminum.
I have the LithiumCard and love it for it's portability.
http://linearflux.com/lithiumcard/main.html
The PRO will charge the S6 Edge fully once. The regular LithiumCard will give the phone about a 40% - 45% charge which is usually more than enough to get me through the rest of the day should I need a quick top off. Best thing is they have a built in USB plug for charging (can do pass-through charging) as well as a micro-usb so you don't need to carry any extra cables. They charge the phone fairly quickly also.
When I want a little more juice that can do two full charges, I carry this. It's a bit bulkier than the LithiumCard (but in no way considered bulky compared to other power banks, IMO) and it usually stays in my backpack/briefcase/etc. This also supports Quick Charge 2.0 (Fast Charge)

Just wanted to post this 3000mAh lipstick sized battery back-up. It has worked great for us and we have used it for about 3 to 4 months now. It was one of the only really small sized 2.1A battery back-ups I could find. There are a few listed here so if you like it make sure to select the one that currently costs $12.99 the others are only 1A chargers. We like this one so much I have ordered 4 to give away as gifts.

does anyone know if there is a fast charge power pack with at least 15000mah capacity with a screen saying output and charge left? big ask?
been researching for a long time and haven't found one that actually states it has all of the above…

I have just ordered this and will review it when it arrives. I had the aukey but didn't like that for a battery that size it only had one usb output. This one also supports QC2.0 to charge the pack itself.

I used a custom ROM because I wasn't interested in wasting money on a charging case. If you take the time to read up on that stuff it's actually very useful and free! My battery has never been better.
I would send you a link but I'm new to the XDA group.

I've never had bad battery life on my S6 Edge. Although, when I need a backup I can recommend the Aukey Quick Charge battery pack.
