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.

This may shock you but the Chinese lie about their batteries.

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.

Looks like the cheap battery makers should all raise their price a bit and buyers will flock in.

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.

Spare battery?

I know battery life is pretty good, but I'd like to have a spare battery for piece of mind. I was considering getting this one: http://www.amazon.com/Laza-3200mah-...&ie=UTF8&qid=1361770386&sr=1-23&keywords=Laza
anyone have any experience with it?

Get the anker one it might be better than the original, at least for me, and it's only 9.99!!

I haven't tried that one but I have two Ankers and a QCell, all from Amazon, and they all work great. I don't even plug my phone in anymore, I just carry a fully charged spare and throw the empty one onto the external charger when it runs out.

I'd stick with stock Samsung or Momax (it has a good record on me).

I'm using the hyperion batteries and charger. I like them. I abuse my batteries. They hold up well.

[Q] Good cheap battery for Note II?

I'll be going to The Netherlands in a couple weeks and I'd like to have an extra charged battery in my pocket just in case... and for the plane ride. Any suggestions? something really cheap but not totally **** would be nice!

Oh and it has to be a normal sized battery not an extended one.

Why not just pick up another stock battery? Anything else youd risk it being sub par.

Anker and QCell have both worked well for me. They both last just as long as the stock battery and at least on Amazon they each come with an external wall charger. I keep a charged battery in my pocket all the time now and it's great being able to quickly throw the charged one in the phone and instantly have a 100% charge.

Another vote for the regular Anker. Lasts longer than my stock battery. Bought the 2 pack with charger for $20 on Amazon.

Just bought the Gorilla NFC 6500 mah Extended battery :D

http://gorillagadgets.com/gorilla-g...-note-2-ii-with-nfc-protected-back-cover.html
It has nfc capability and its 2.06 times more of stock battery they have it both in white and grey.
It also has a tpu case that is seperate for only 11 dollars found here:

Darn it all. I was looking for one of these about 3 weeks ago. I settled for 2 Anker 3100 mah batteries and a charger for about the same money. So far, they are quite good and I'm pleased with their performance. Now I have battery envy.
In my book, the stock battery is too small, the zerolemon is too big, but the Gorilla would have been just right and at a good price.

Plus it has the nfc support that most dont have. And its 50% off right now. I have another battery case but saw this and was sold. I think you should go ahead and try it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

From the link pictures TPU case looks like S3 case although it says for Note 2. Here is my take on this. It looks like a regular ebay extended battery with addition of NFC built into the plastic battery cover, thus probably why the price is higher than from ebay. I don't have any experience with Gorilla brand, but obviously it just a HK generic re-branded battery, and from a lot of the reviews of those I have seen it's 50/50 chance you will get the advertised capacity. I'm not saying it's a case with Gorilla stuff, but it would be good to hear back from someone who bought their battery before and had a chance to really test it out to calculate mAh output. From what I heard and read, the only available double capacity batteries that are reliable: Mugen ($105 - way too overpriced) or Hyperion ($18.99 and $4.99 for extended tpu case).
Regarding Zerolemon being too big, I would correct it as "heavier" but not too big. It adds the same thickness as 6200/6500 mAh battery, just extends it across the back of the phone due to an additional battery block. That is why people use the same Defender mod for either double capacity or triple capacity extended battery - fitment will be similar.

Well i guess ill be the tester
Ill try to post pics and a typed review of the device when id have a weeks use of it

That's how most of these work. Double capacity is nothing more or less than 2 original ones fused together. Zerolemon is just 3 fused together, arranged in a different shape. As it was discussed before, Samsung squeezed maximum capacity out of that battery footprint, nothing holding back. 3100 mAh is the max you can get out of that single footprint while 6200 mAh is the max out of double, just like 9300 mAh is the max from ZL triple. The only other company that was able to squeeze a bit more juice out of double was Mugen, and they make their own battery cells. Everybody else buys it from China and slaps their own label on it. Some companies do a detailed testing to guarantee the product, while others write made up capacity numbers. I would take it with a grain of salt when I read 6500 mAh and see the price (higher than ebay stuff, but justifiable because NFC antenna is included and that one is pricey) which points to origin of these cells from China. I have nothing against GG and from all the feedback I see they are a very reputable company that has been around for awhile. But I still think these are really 6200 mAh batteries, unless someone can get an external test unit which discharges and monitors the actual current draw down to 3.4V or whatever is the threshold when battery goes dead.

You guys dont understand how hard it is to drank this sucker. I was on netflix, youtube, ifunny, instagram, texting calling web browsing all day. And now i have nyan cat (10 hours version playing) and i dont think i can get to 5% anytime soon XD

vectron, have you seen this review for the GG battery?
http://www.batteryreview.info/revie...h-extended-battery-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s3/
According to the review, the GG battery is on par with Anker, Hyperion, and Mugen, beating them all slightly. If the reviewed battery is representative of GG batteries, then they are comparable to the favored batteries on this forum.
I have enjoyed reading many of your reviews. Thank you for your fine work. Is there any chance you might review the GG battery for the GN2?

Best External Battery

Please share. What is the best extended battery? That you can charge phone on go and use at same time. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Zerolemon is best for battery life since its 3x the battery power of the stock. But i love the Mugen battery for its NFC that comes stock with it. Rather than wiring an old nfc chip then using copper tape to connect the two contacts. But the mugen is only 6400 mah (twice the size) but the very con for mugen is that its nearly 2 times the price of the zerolemon battery. But if you dont need nfc go ahead and use the zerolemon its a great product from what i see people say.

Another option, since you mentioned "charge phone on go and use at the same time" is Anker Astro Slim 3 external battery (not extended, but external), I reviewed it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388894
It's a super slim slice that you can use for charging your phone while holding and using both battery and the phone at the same time.

I use a external battery case that takes 18650 batteries so that I can replace the battery when they go bad. I don't expect those cheap external batteries to be of good quality

Yep, that 14000 mAh looks like a beast! You know, sometime companies list their products both on amazon and ebay where from ebay you can buy it internationally when you contact the seller.
