1700mAh Extended Battery Q

I'm looking to bring my Vogue back to life with the newer Android stuff but first I need a battery. I have a older 2400mAh battery but it's run it's course + I hate the huge backplate/buldge. So does anyone know what's the cheapest and highest capacity battery that fits with the normal backplate?
I saw this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Battery-1700m...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item4a99b65f5d
..but I'm not sure 1) if it's really 1700mAh or 2) if it fits into the original plate.
Any suggestions? Or am I better off getting two 1100mAh batteries "OEM" versions are going for $4-$5 -- btw, are they really OEM?

I am in the same boat... hoping to keep my Vogue around for as long as possible... nothing much better (IMO) on SERO and can't bring myself to leave them.
I am wondering if it is worth it to spring for name brand battery (mugen, etc) or to just get an el-cheapo. Realistically, I'll probably only be able to squeeze another year or so out of this phone, so my biggest concern is with it lasting through the day with heavy usage, not overall lifespan.

I carry around a second standard vogue battery in my wallet haha, no need for extended stuff

I got a couple from this guy on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-OEM-HTC-Tou...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item4cee9865ec The ones I got are not what is pictured in this auction but they had the same identification markings as my original battery(Model: BTR6900). They appear to be oem but I don't know if they are new. One of the two batteries i ordered was swollen and would not fit my phone but he sent me a replacement pretty quick and i did not have to return the bad battery. The battery life seems to be just as good as when i first got my vouge.
Two batteries, less than $10 shipped, hard to go wrong.

Hmm, I was also thinking about getting an extra battery since I just got a data plan and just killed my phone in about four hours
Anyone know how much improvement there would be from 1100mAh to 1700mAh?

Assuming it's actually 1700mAh? The math says about 65% improvement ;D

!!!Max mAh for stocked battery size!!!

Hello all as everyone know the stock HD2 battery has a horrible life. As I have been looking for a replacement and seen alot of threads here trying to find a nice battery so I came to ask few things I want to be clear about so post away if you can help.
1) I want normal size battery that is not extended battery as it fits in the original cover for TMoUS HD2.
2) I want the highest possible mAh that fits in the original case, which is what 1500-1600 mAh? if anyone know any other let me know.
3) I seen alot name these 3 companies Andidas, Galilios, Mugen. So name them which is better.
Keep in mind that to me money is not an option as I am welling to spend whatever long as it meets my requirement as I want quality and durability also don't want it to blow up as safety is also a concern, thanks looking for good product review and advice.

Anyone? any take on this? thanks.

i m interest with this too

Well I took HD2 of charge at 8AM when I was getting ready for work and now its 3:46PM and I am at 63% battery power. So I need a real solution as I use my phone for work, hope someone who tested other battery can respond as I need it urgent.

Have you been using the phone? If so, this is not bad! You only lost 37% battery for almost a whole day of work!
And you will not find a battery that fits like the original one, and has more capacity.
Just buy a second one, charge it, and take it along...

Thanks for your reply man but are you sure? As I seen in this very forum battery that is 1300 mAh and I'm not talking about bulky extended battery packs. Also carrying around two battery and changing it is not an option. Also that's like only 6-7hours and already that low ATM I have to keep my charger with me at work fearing that ill lose battery power as it happend once. I can Google some results but ill take feedbacks from user here any day as they tested it and used it thus they can compare it and it would have a fare product review.

dude if you can get your phone to mid after noon with more than 60% charge, you really shouldn't be complaining lol....

Its 8:30PM EST here and i am at 34% as device has uptime of 47hours and connected to 3g tmobile network for 36hours. I need 1500-1700 mAh but i seen 1300 on this forum as they say its same size.

The best battery you can get is a momax 1100 mah yes the mah is less than stock. But the reports are very good and it should go longer then the stock. It will give you about 20% extra. There are no good 1500 mah or more batteries. For example HyperNode would get with that momax battery instead of 34% 49 or 52 something like that.

The higher the mAh number, the longer a battery will last.
If your phone needs 1000 milliamps(1.0Ah) to work, a 1000mAh battery will last 1 hour continued use, if the phone needs 500mAh it will last for 2 hours and so on.
So going from standard 1230mAh to 1500mAh will not give that much more battery life.
Easier to carry a charged spare standard size battery if going to be away from charger for a long time.

I've also taken a different 'strategy' Charge all time (in car with Navi and BT anyhow) and use cheap secondary batteries (as with this charging strategy they wont last too long)
Apart form the Ah of a battery, it makes a huge difference in how the battery is engineered. It is indeed possible that a lower Ah battery provides more rela life power....

Jan thanks for that useful reply as ill look in to the product. But is there any battery that you know from same company with higher mAh? From what you said this is better than stock one and lower mAh yet better performance due to higher quality.

So ATM two candidates for possible same stock size battery.
1) Momax 1100 mAh
2) Mugen 1300 mAh
I hope people who used any or both can compare it with stock battery and post the finding here so others like me can make easy decision and order it.

[Q] 2430mAh Battery

Has anyone tried this GOLD 2430MAH BUSINESS BATTERY FOR DELL STREAK MINI 5 battery here? (Just check it out on ebay, i can't link it because i'm a new user)
Wondering if its worth getting it or if I should just get a cheaper pack with a charger and 3x 1800mAh batteries? Mainly looking for an extra battery to take with me on long car trips so I can use the phone more like a tablet, but I wouldn't hate having a longer lasting battery for daily use either and then using the stock battery as my extra.

this looks interesting..one thing good about it , is that is the same size as the original dell battery.

I think its a fake capacity, the largest capacity that fits as standard size offered by a decent battery manufacturer, Mugen Power is 1800mah, and if you read the threads here, there is a 2400mah extended battery that has to use a custom battery cover because the battery is twice the depth of the standard battery.
So, i think you will find its not really a 2430mah battery, but a 1800mah battery at best.

if it seems too good to be true...
The best bet is to get one of those external battery packs with 3000-6000mah and a spare cable.
Also be agressive in your control of screen brightness and data use

If you read the feedbacks of that seller on eBay. There are heaps of negative feedbacks from buyers calling him a CON.

I bought off amazon since it had to be shipped to India... think there was only 1 seller in Amazon and he seems genuine.

There's a point with batteries where to make them any more powerful you must make them bigger. If fitting 2430ma into an 1800ma package was possible Mugen would have done it, so yes the rating is a lie.

REF: Gold Battery 2430mAh on eBay...
Total fake and ripoff!! ...so dont be wasting your money...

Sorry. Thought you asked for the regular 2400mah.

hi, i bought this battery 2 mounth ago and my phone authonomy is double now. so dont coment if you dodnt try!

Do dell sell them?

Probably a con, but what the heck… I just purchased it. If it’s not 'as stated', I’ll report the bugger.

could keep us posted about this, i looked at the seller's feedback and seems it is fake but wondering if that is true.

The Americans have a saying "You can't put a quart in a pint pot" and that applies to battery power as well. Don't waste your money.

Irritatingly, battery capacity is only shown on the battery itself and not in the device’s battery info. So, is it really 2430mah? Don’t know. But there IS a difference. The 1530mah stock battery ran out of juice alarmingly quickly – like falling off a cliff - when at 30-40%, yet ‘Business Battery’ allows heavy use (downloads, browsing, video… etc) right down to single digits. So now I can use Streak much more (I’d say several hours more of constant use) when battery level is below 50% without worrying if it’s going to suddenly die on me. No gain between 100-50%, though.
I was prepared to slag this off, but from my experience it’s genuinely longer-lasting, especially at low battery levels. How long the battery itself will last only time will tell.
I’m not prepared to test it against Mugen’s 1800mah and spend near 30 quid (plus £18 p&p) in the process.

I've read elsewhere that the cheap Chinese batteries often don't report the available power in as many steps as a 'proper' one does, so they appear to fall slower.
I don't know how old your Dell battery is but it might not be as good as it used to be when new.

Yep, I had to replace the Dell battery (after about 10 months use) because over the past week it became completely unstable – dropping to 70% after 30min use, suddenly back up to 95%, and plummeting from then on. But the stock battery right from the start was always weakest when two-thirds empty, and it drained juice even on standby. Last night it was 100% or ‘fully charged’ for over 3 hours (mostly on standby and some light doc editing)… that had never happened before.
The thing is actually stamped ‘made in Japan’… aren’t Japanese products supposed to be expensive? Looks suspect, but whatever. If it becomes unstable after a month or two then sure, I’ll invest in a nice new Mugen or Dell replacement. But as of now I’m fairly content with a £13 Ecell batt.

Got one of these last week, & have put it through a few recharge cycles etc, unfortunately, it's no better than the stock battery
Oh well, it was worth a try..

As with all cheap batteries it has a short life - no more than 2 or 3 months before it starts to rapidly drain. As a temporary and inexpensive solution it's fine, but don’t expect long-lasting quality.

Aftermarket Batteries

Hey guys,
I'm looking for an aftermarket battery that is SAFE (no dodgy stuff from, i dunno, china?) and gives me longer use than the stock battery. Although the stock battery usually gets me past a day, it can easily drop very quickly after some use.
I was hoping got the GOLD 2680mAh but I can't seem to find it anywhere What other options do I have? Is the 2500mAh one safe? Mugen makes a 2300mAh one but I don't think it's a big enough upgrade to make it worth it.
Also, I don't really want one that requires you to have a new back cover...

Wrong thread mate. We have a dedicated thread about Optimus 4X Accessories
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1652
You will find feedback about batteries too.

in 99% of all cases, it does not make any sense to buy a "bigger" battery...
They don't last longer than stock battery.
The only ting which is usefull, are the big batterys where you need a bigger cover

For example

mabyits wiser to buy one of these external battery pacs and always carry that with a cable.
these 5600 mah packs are dirt cheap (less the 8 euro on ebay)
just stick it inthere midway trough the day and it will charge some and at night just put both on a charger
and theres also 20.000 mah packs for barely 20 euro that charge with either 1 amp or 2.1 amp so thats a really fast way to put some juice in your phone.
you can charge your phone atleast 8 times with that and thats a stunning 32 hours active USE time on a pack that you can carry with you (10x6x2.5cm)

Yep, can't agree more. I use Powerbank myself, packed with 6600 mAh extra juice. Though not too convenient, it's quite handy and does magic in extending your phone usage hours

Battery replacment with higher capacity

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with using third party batteries for the N950. Specifically batteries with extended capacity. I have seen a handful of these batteries which say they have a 3600mah capacity over the stock battery capacity of 3300mah. They also say that they are Li-Po over the stock Li-Ion.
I cant post the link due to XDA rules but there are batteries available on Amazon under the title :
Galaxy Note 8 Battery ZURUN 3600mAh Li-Polymer Battery
The battery appears to have good ratings and would be a fitting upgrade for a decayed battery. I'm just asking if anybody with experience would recommend these batteries, are they real(in terms of spec), would the higher capacity effect the device negatively? And most importantly are they safe?
Any help would be appreciated!

Although I have no experience with batteries for the Note 8 as of yet, but from previous experience, I would recommend only official batteries. Even if these non official batteries are the correct mah, they will not have the same amount of cycles, so you will probably go through 2 or 3 of these batteries for the life of the official one.

I have had my Note 8 since the day it came out and I'm still using the same battery and I still get well over 8 hours of usage before I need to recharge it. I only charge it to 90% and I never let it discharge fully it's usually back on the charger whenever it gets near 20%. A friend of mine decided to put a 4,000 mah battery in his Note 8 only to find out that it wouldn't charge to 4,000 and it was dying much much faster than the original battery and it took even longer for it to charge back up so I wouldn't recommend getting aftermarket parts for it.

Huh, as for my device, I got it recently pre owned however the previous owner didn't take anywhere near as much care of my device as it seems your taking care of yours. So the battery capacity is pretty decayed and I've found it hard to get a healthy OEM battery online.
With my current new but unhealthy battery I wouldn't be able to protect it as I would like to by using the charging ranges you do. Tho I do really want to!
So I was thinking a new third party battery could be better than a 'new' oem. But again just another gamble it seems haha.
Thanks a lot for your advice!
