*Integrated microchip prevents
*overcharging and lengthens battery
life.
*Brand New,High capacity Li-ion
battery for you phone
*You do not need a special back
cover for this battery.
The most Mah you can get without an Extended case or back cover? I ordered this and they sent me a 4750 mah. Hmmmm?

Are you going to be doing a test of how accurate the mAh is?
So they managed to fit one and a half times the power into the same sized battery?
Either they have a new technology or they are magicians.

I know another cool magic trick. You remove the cover off this battery to reveal the actual capacity stamped on it's cells, a standard 3100 mAh
hehe, or more like 2500mah
I'll do a battery test soon. Just returned to stock. Going to charge to 100% then run it with normal usage. I'll post screen shots sometime late tomorrow.

Btw, we are not trying to give you a hard time. It just that we have discussed so many extra capacity batteries (OEM slim footprint), and every one was found to be a lie. You will be lucky to get something at 3100 mAh, while a lot of 4200 mAh batteries turned out to be 2500 mAh. I actually had external hardware setup with V/A meter draining batteries with a clip attached to terminals on one side while simulating a phone load on another side with high wattage resistors. It didn't look too good.

Looks like you are hardly using the phone with 1 hr screen on time ... especially if that's the majority of the usage. How about doing a real test... moderate to heavy usage, texting , youtube, internet browsing , music and movie play back. That battery will read MUCH LOWER.
I good suggestion for a test, run free Nova battery tester: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.NanoDinamics.NovaTester
I wouldn't trust the accuracy of mAh calculation, but it runs very CPU/GPU intense test to drain your battery. Do it with your stock battery, and then with deep stretch battery to compare the screen on and other results. As a relative test for comparison it should work. I think the test runs for about 2hr, so once it done run it again, starting from 100% battery until you run it down to 5%.
Right now I'm running at normal usage. I do watch tons of You Tube vids. Read tech reviews. Go through my Flipboard, Taptu news feeds. Check up on XDA, Facebook, Google+, get calls from wife. Internet browse. And download apps. While looking for reviews on this battery I came across a thread in the Note 3 forum mentioning a Deep Stretch battery and they would like to see my results too. And I'll check out that app. Been looking for a good battery stat app. I'll post more screen shots at 50%.

If you're trying to establish that these batteries are somehow better than stock, you have quite a task before you.
Either give the app a shot or set up a system similar to the one that Vectron did.
Basically you need a standard to drain a stock and the magical battery. An exact same standard. Browsing videos and just generally using the phone will have a different load from day to day, so you're definitely not going to get a standard and fair comparison. Screenshots will be meaningless since they aren't an exact representation of usage, data connectivity, cell tower searching, etc.
Well I'm hoping they're better than stock. The battery has 4750 mah on it. If it's fake. I'll never buy a Deep Stretch battery again. Just doing a normal usage test. Then I'll try vectron's suggestion tomorrow morning. I'll fully charge both batteries and run Nova battery tester on both.
Update at 25%.
5% Last one for today.
Nova battery test tomorrow. Samsung OEM vs Deep Stretch.

From those stats, the figures are poor for 4600 mAH
I already get 7 hours of screen time on OEM battery on stock fimware when no tuning of the kernel.
Do Not Remove . I Wonder Why : )
I removed the label. Its just all silver with some numbers and a 3.35 v stamped on the side. I googled the numbers and got nothing.
Update:
Sorry I thought I could manage some more tests today but was exhausted after work.
Running stock deodexed.
Standard test failed.
When short tests completed the app closed itself but managed to keep results. Did two short tests on "4750 mah battery"
Will do a long test later and hopefully it completes. In the meanwhile Im going to look for similar testing apps.
Edit: Actually Im going to do a short test on oem battery to see accuracy of calculations.

Seems at least as good as OEM battery but for it to actually be 33% better you should get at least 9hrs screen on time.

So I searched around and all I could find was one $80+ battery that came with a new back cover.
Anyone have better luck?

WP7 app testing... sorry
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.
Hey all,
Here are some pics of the new 2400mAh battery I got off eBay for $33 USD. Pretty sweet so far. Ran down to 1% battery after about 24 hrs, then ran another 18 hrs. I'm currently trying the "Battery Left" app to properly guage its life, as the built in monitor of the Streak allways thinks its the regular battery...
Its not the biggest extended battery for the Streak, but now I have it, and the original battery too, so I should be prepaired for any eventuallity.
Also the stand is pretty darn cool too. The whole thing makes is about twice as thick, tho. Not a problem for me, as I wear scrub pants to work with real loose pockets. Have not tried it with jeans yet...
My next move is to alter my Otterbox case to fit...

thanks for the photos, was thinking about getting this, but it looks to be about the same size as the mugen 4800 battery, and thats twice as powerful again. Think I'd sooner have that with it being the same size. I do like the stand though very nice idea.
I think the Mugen is twice the capacity , but about 4x the price. This was only $33. You could get several... plus, I figure I still have the stock battery so when this one dies I can pop that one in and get another good day of use...

yeah i'm just not one for carrying other batteries around, I just want one thats in all the time, to behonest I'm happy with the battery you get with, its lasts well over a day. yeah i know its a lot more expensive but probably get a week out of it which is amazing!!
A week would be awesome, but I get nervous if I don't charge it every night anyway...
Sent from my Streak using XDA app on StreakDroid 1.9
hey slaydog, please keep us informed about how many hours does the battery last. Maybe you can run some test to see if it holds its charge (like playing musics/video or browsing the net)?
Is the stand solid or fragile? Do you feel the streak more heavy with the battery on and most importantly, does the battery get warm a lot?
Just an update. New battery is working great! I still charge it every night, but I never worry about how much I use it during the day. I stream Sirius, play Podcasts, surf the web, YouTube etc... the stock battery meter sometimes shows the phone dead around noon, while my new battery meter when I plug it in at night still shows 60-75%
Does not get hot or make the streak feel heavier. It is bigger, though. I cut my Otterbox case to fit the new back and use the stand, so it looks like a tank! But the new cover is only a little thicker than the back of the case. Stand looks good and works good too. Very sturdy.
Using an app called Battery Monitor free, that shows actual batter %, the Battery Left app did not.
Anyway, certainly no regrets for $33!

Have you tried wiping the battery stats using StreakMod Recovery. It is on the advanced menu - pic here.
Also Battery Left has to be 'trained' by fully charging and then fully discharging the battery. It does show the % left and the time left. More info here. Developer FAQ

cheers,

how does it even fit? mine came without any hooks of any kind it cannot attach at all. are the uk and us streaks different?
Mine arrived this morning from superetrader (via ebay)
didn't realise it was a cameron sinai battery, had some real issues with those in the past, if I'd known I wouldn't have ordered it...
But I'll test it for a few days and see how I get on.
Does this battery or the mugen 4800 still fit in the av dock?
the powermonitor in the EMlist reports this as 1446 capacity which is wrong,
I charged it with the streak off then wiped battery stats
its currently on 57% after 25 hours..
cover is pretty easy to dislodge (As its easy to grab), easily fixed in the 1.xx streakdroid roms as they disable the forced shutdown if that happens.
back does make a nice shape to hold.
so far not bad

First thing I tried was resetting battery stats. Don't know what that does, but didn't seem to make a difference. I properly did the training for Battery Left, I even adjusted the battery capacity setting, but the numbers given still only varied slightly from Android's.
Still loving it, BTW...

Anyone got an update?
If you bought this battery I have some follow up questions.
1) Are you still using it?
2) Are you using it as a spare or your everyday battery?
4) How accurate is the battery meter on the phone when using this?
3) What are the pluses?
4) What are the minuses?
5) Is the cover part of the battery or a separate piece?
6) Any problems with the cover coming loose?
7) have you modified a case/cover for your Streak to use with this? If so, which one?
Thanks for the feedback.
I use mine maybe once a week,
used it quite a lot while in netherlands, battery life is definitely better than stock one.
cover hasnt come undone by itself, and now I hold it properly its ok
battery levels appears to be down to the method of calculation that wont account for extended batteries, so 100% is 1500 mah or so no matter what, I've found the battery drops to 1% then keeps going for quite a while
I just thought I would share this just in case if anyone was interested. I bought this battery for my Samsung Captivate and it works well. So I decided to out try it in my Focus to see if it would fit..it fit perfectly!! I have had the battery for only 2 weeks now but it does work better and it looks to be Samsung OEM.
So just to recap this fits with the stock back. It is but you will never notice once it closes

Correct this battery fits under the stock cover. This phone isn't my daily phone so I can't tell you how much longer it lasts. What I can tell you though is that in my Captivate (daily phone) it lasts longer for sure, probably about 20 to 30% more. I literally used it in the Focus for like half a day and it had no issues.
Okay I am using the battery in the focus today. It does snap. Lose but it is a tight fight. If you have a case it won't be a problem at all. One corner from my phone unsnaps randomly but one of my clips is broken so that could be the case also.
I received today the Chinese batteries.
They fit perfectly in the Focus and looks like they're exactly the same size. I've started the phone with one and it works fine.
Battery cover is absolutely the same with this one as with the original. I didn't notice any difference in weight either.
See for yourselves:

Could you PM me where did you buy that chinesse battery?
I tested the Chinese batteries and they're weak, as I expected.
They held 3h 05m on WP Bench where as my 1 year old original Focus battery held 3h 50 min in the same battery test, that's 80% of the battery I have now and I remember in NoDo, on WP Bench battery was holding about 6h.
So, they're good as backups, but in no way better than the originals.
The originals should be better, in theory.
I bought the Anker battery from amazon which was around 10 bucks. Its also 1800 mah, but is the same size as the Samsung OEM stock batter that comes with the focus. Seemed to last about 36 hours with light use on my Focus. One thing I noticed - the charging indicator never stops blinking to say that is finished charging. IMHO doesn't seem to give much more than a fresh new stock OEM battery - although for 10 bucks I agree would make a good back up, thats about it.
Here's the link to the battery I purchased:

I never knew about WP Bench. Wish I had. My Focus had 420 or so cycles on it's battery and had a rapid performance decline in charge holding. It also blew up (physically) a bit. I replaced it with a replacement OEM from Batteries +.
The replacement doesn't seem to be the equivalent of Day 1 on the Original battery but maybe Mango and my usage is far more than before.
The knock off batteries, the misrepresented mah ratings, and even the out-right faking of batteries has my jaw dropped. Buyer beware.
I contend that the battery issue, battery fakes, and cheap replacements is 100% the reason Apple doesn't make their battery accessible. They want a tight control over those batteries to guarantee performance.
I just ordered the OEM from first post. When it arrives, I will attempt to do scientific tests and post results. I'll use WP Bench as mentioned before since that is likely the most accurate way to test.
Stock Battery

Airplane mode and NOTHING running…
UPDATE
Ok, Here is a Preliminary set of numbers with 1800 battery...
4:43:19
Same settings and still NOTHING running:
Reason I say preliminary is because this was after the FIRST charge. When the phone finished charging again, I needed to use the phone, so was unable to set it for a test run again. I'll attempt that again tonight. BUT, for the record, I took the phone with me to Reno, NV and used it for over 1 1/2 days without charging. Used the Internet, Maps, and Showing it off to family, taking 15 mins of video during the fireworks, and still had 10% battery left over... I'm really anxious to see what my test results will be this next time...
FYI, it is a fairly tight fit within the cover, but it DOES fit. Once I got all the snaps snapped, it feels very secure.

Yeah, that's strange, the link died on the first post. Here's a link to eBay with a bunch available... Look for part # EB625152VA If you Bing/Google this number, you will find other resellers too.
If you like paying full price, buy direct from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB625152VABSTD
Larger Battery Tests
Ok, final numbers, photos, and thoughts. The battery is snug, (if you look carefully, you can see a slight deformation on the battery cover where it is forming over the oversized Galaxy battery) but after it is snapped closed, you won't notice as jev3gs has already mentioned. Images attached.
I've made a correction for the time posted in above post (Copied it wrong), and have performed two tests with each battery, so I'm confident that the numbers here are correct. The tests were within about 30 seconds of each other on each battery.
Stock Focus Battery 5.55Wh 1500 mAh
PN# EB575152VA
4hrs 11mins 57sec
= 251.95 Minutes
Galaxy S™ II Battery 6.66Wh 1800 mAh
PN# EB625152VA
4hrs 43mins 40sec
= 283.67 Minutes
This is an improvement of 31.72mins, or 11%! That's using WP Bench which kills the battery very quickly compared to real usage.
That may not seem like much, but for me in my usage, that will likely equate to an extra 1.5 hours per day. 12 hours + 11% = 13.32 hours.
(According to the printed battery specs, you should actually receive about 16% extra, my tests showed a little lower. Maybe will get better with more usage.)
I have not done charging tests yet, but it also seems like it is charging faster. That may be in my head, but it seems like about an hour faster... I MIGHT test that later.
PS: Thank you jev3gs for the heads up on this tip. I was about to buy another battery anyways, so this is icing on the cake!
Thanks for taking the time and doing the review! Let us know about charging times too!
Thanks for the detailed posts SuperSport. I wish the OP had put this before I bought the Momax battery which takes forever to charge compared to the stock one.
Unfortunately, I still have not run verifiable tests to prove the charge times. It does seem faster, but normally, I charge it at night and don't pay attention to when it completes. I've been a bit to busy to run the tests during the day, so it will need to wait for now.
I've bought many OEM and Generic batteries over the years for both phones and Radio Control, and it's really hit and miss. Sometimes, the Generic blow the OEM out of the water, but usually, the OEM batteries outperform.

What do u mean by light use? My stock one, I use the phone for reading news from weave and wp7 news with WiFi enabled, and I got about 5h. I also play games for a little bit. That is my typical day usage.
I wish to use the phone for around half of the day or so, if this 1800 MAh could give me that much of power, then it is awesome

Using my 11% gain as a reference, you could expect 5.55 hours, up from 5 hours. If Samsung is correct, and it's 16% gain, then it would be 5.8 hours. Still not quite 1/2 day...
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.

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.
If you root and install Liberty or Maverick. you'll sh*t yourself.
Anyone have a link to a extended battery that will fit the stock case?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUGEN-POWER...640510?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6a8ba7be
Only 200 extra Mah?
EDIT: Did some math, its about 13% increase over stock. I guess it's noticeable.

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.
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement battery for my phone? All of the ones I find are sketchy on Amazon, and the official Lg one is hella overpriced
for example, would something like this be reliable at all?

i've never trusted those gold batteries, i wanted to wait for one that seems decent, with a max of 1800mAh based on size i would expect thats the highest you could get into a battery that size.
currently testing this new battery, on its first drain at the mo, will be back with reports soon

Cool, as new batteries go i expect you got to charge them a couple of times to get the correct usage average. first drain still surviving, @30% now but that was with a few benchmarks after testing a few things for Stonebear last night. will probably start charging again at about 12% later today.

Reason why i dont get one of those batteries is because i dont want to carry around a Nokia P4000, start to have hip problems carrying something that big around. ( rather just carry one of these so i can charge my phone and psp on the go) that way i can still have my sleek O2x without the bulky back cover.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/10000mAh-Se...ustomized/dp/B0063AAIRG/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_text_z
im using 1900mah batery.. it quite stand up until 1 day half.. :good:
Final drain test on new battery,
full charge gives me 4180mV
thats at a average of 1746mA +/- 24mA
will look into performance and battery life now that i've charged it a third time. and report back
I bought a "2400 mAh" battery from MyTrendyPhone (large Nordic/European online store for phone accessories).
It turned out to be 2800 mAh. Probably mislabeled by the store rather than the manufacturer. It's actually this one:
http://shop.onni-tec.de/Handy-Akkus...imus-Speed-Li-Ion-fat-Rueckdeckel::10090.html
Does anyone have any experience with this particular battery? Will do some non-scientific, subjective testing of course. Bought it on a whim because I got tired of my O2X dying halfway through the day (I'm quite a heavy user, it's literally down to 40-50% by lunch time). If it isn't much of an improvement, no great loss. It makes the phone more "substantial" but the difference isn't that great and the back cover seems to be quite good quality (also it offers far better protection of the camera lens than the original cover).

Usage Test
That Battpit Battery, 1800mAh.
Under medium to heavy usage.
listening to music 3-4 hours, Internet browsing, average 5-6 hours, videos 20 minutes, 5 calls about a minute each, 15 - 20 texts. bit of wifi, but most of the internet browsing was done under 3g.
i'll get a more standby focused battery life over the next couple of days.
ordered a 2400 mah battery.
should arrive in 2-5 days.
gonna make a review video.
I used a duplicate high capacity barrios like this and after fee days my phone used to drain without any use also and it used to heat up also went to lg care they told mother board is gone due to.difference in voltage maintenance as I used not the stock one they told use only stock batteries other high capacity battery will ruin your phone hardware...my phone used to die in Lees than 10 hours whether I use out or not...now it last more than 2 days those people who were telling there phone last more than a day I used to think they always lied.got my mother board changed from lg cost me around 50$ but more now phone is like brand new last more than 2 days and stand by station is like 1% in 8 hours..but stock batteries and go to lg care ask them is there any problem in your phone hardware ....trust me that's the solution
