Like everything else they make it's probably not...
Is it true the samsung 1440mAh is better than the 1600mAH or even out stock batteries? I read that it was even though i dont see how it could be.
I doubt that the 1440 mAh is better than the 1750 mAh. I think I'll get this slim extended battery! It's as much as the regular OEM, which is I think the 1600 mAh. But I'm contemplating if the 3300 mAh (bulky but with backdoor) would be better considering the price is too much? http://www.mythoslife.com/2011/04/nexus-s-now-has-extended-battery.html. Then, again, if you're a power user then it might be worth it.
interesting...
Like stated before, it probably isn't 1750. They ramp up the number to get more sales and usually worse than the stock 1440mah.
I'd rather get the Seidio 1750 mAh slim extended battery. It'll probably last better compared to the one from eBay. http://mythoslife-store.blogspot.com/2011/05/looking-for-extended-slim-battery-for.html.
Seidio had the same battery up a few months ago and had it labeled as 1600mah.

no thanks, im going with the 1600mAh from mugen.
Great, you'll never know what you buy these days on eBay. Did you say that Seidio is the same way? My perception of this company is that their products are hight quality.
I'm not saying seidio is the same way... when the nexus s was released they had the same exact battery and description but 1600mah. Now it looks like they bumped it. I don't want to knock it until I try it. I'm not sure who to trust...

My NS4G came with the Samsung 1440mAH battery. It lasts me all day even if I use it moderately. I am looking at buying an extra Samsung battery and a battery charger so I can have a charged spare battery for those heavy usage days.
2 the guy selling the 2 extra batteries and the charger, I may be interested. The only reason I haven't bought them from ebay yet is I don't want to wait all that time for shipping from China.

but there is a general rule that says.
if its more MAH than stock battery,but do has the same size as Stock battery.its fake.
more MAH meens Bigger battery to actually make it work.
well, here's a battery rated 1850.. anyone brave?

Increased mah doesn't always = larger battery. OEMs are notorious for skimping on batteries. Sure.there are limits in package size but OEMs rarely ever reach the full cell size. There's a reason Samsung has multiple mah batteries of the same outer packaging size. Hell, I have about 3 different nexus one batteries of different capacity that all fit with the standard backplate. The N1's battery drivers were written into some kernels and you can read (even alter) the battery controller's register values in real time.

Probably less of mAh rating if you peel it back but to be honest isnt too bad to try out but i'd rather buy the Anker 3100.
What do you guys think?
My battery is only 1850mAh. :'(
Sent from my SGH-T989 on Jelly Bean goodness!
You really think a non brand item would have that much capacity? Doubling the battery would make it 6200 (if it was linear) and to think you want to put a non branded 7600 mah battery in a $700 phone? No thanks.
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. They all work the same, if not better. they are cheap and about 1/3 to 1/4 of the price. I bought this one exactly and the battery life is awsome.
I picked up an extra stock battery lg tones and the all share cast thingy last week with sprint's 30% off accessories sale. Have yet to actually need the battery. But comforting to know it is there

I've been using this battery for the last two weeks or so, and it's been good as gold. Not wholly convinced about the 7600 rating though, but it still lasts about twice as long as the stock battery.

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
Sony Ericsson, Htc Kaiser, Samsung Captivate, Note I, Note II
Im using Note II LTE 7105.
I wish to ask is N7100 using the same battery as N7105? well because i have bought a battery from ebay
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/GOLD-4500...ht_2519wt_1139
and when i tell them im using Note II 7105 LTE, they reply me with this
"We understand that you would like to know if there's an issue with the battery because you purchased a N7100 battery where in fact your using N7105 LTE version.
The battery you purchased is compatible only for Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 not for N7105 LTE version.
May I know how do ou want to proceed with the transaction?"
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...

I know the note 2 had a decent battery life, but why not strive for better?
With the galaxy note 1 you could buy a certain gold battery that was rated at 3250mAh. I'm not sure if it's that high but certainly after 6 months use between the two I can say it gives an extra 10% any least. This would work with the original back door.

Check out post #9. Gold batteries are such a scam it's ridiculous how they are still selling as they are. Anker, Onite, Q cell and Hyperion all make aftermarket batteries. They are all rated around the same as a stock battery. You are best off purchasing an additional battery to keep on a swappable cycle.
I'd also like to see some legit slim-sized batteries for the Note II that are ACTUALLY a few hundred mAh more.

I understand the idea of swapping batteries or carrying around an extra, effectively doubling your battery life. For me I'd like slightly higher capacity while keeping the same form factor. One of the points of a higher capacity is to eliminate the carrying of another battery. IMO its just another thing to think about and check for when I leave my home. That's just my 2 cents. As for the actual question, all I've been able to find is the 3950 mah battery from ebay which has already been reviewed and is actually similar to the oem.
In Germany the company "Akku-King" is selling a 3300mAh normal size battery for around 15€.
I got a 3200mAh Extended Battery for my galaxy s2 from their shop and it's working really great!

I will attest that Anker makes excellent batteries. I had 2 of them as swappable spares for my Mytouch 3G Slide and they were rated about 200 mA higher. They worked far better than the OEM battery did. I would avoid using my original battery.
Got a G2x later on and that thing killed batteries. I tried a few differ brand batteries and ultimately coughed up the extra money to get an Anker battery. Was the only battery that wouldn't be destroyed by my G2x.
If Anker comes out with a higher capacity slim battery, I'll definitely be buying.
Last thing, I also have an external battery pack for charging on the go, also made by Anker. No complaints at all with that product either!

Don't you think a corporation like Samsung, with the amount of money they have, would put in the largest and highest capacity battery that they can make?
Either way, get another spare battery or go with an extended. At best, you will have the same battery life with an aftermarket. Again, at best.
I would add in Pisen who also make great batteries - from experience, and reviews. They currently have the same rated mah as the oem and I'm waiting for a higher rated one from them, or either of the mentioned 3rd parties.

/\this right here. Batteries are the single biggest limiting factor in phone and is also the slowest evolving technology. Battery technology isn't like the rest of the technology in where something better always right around the corner. To my understanding the wall battery tech has hit is the cost to produce a better lithium battery is way to high.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Mugen is the only mainstream aftermarket battery company that actually manufactures their own battery right?

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.

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!!

yea I understand that it costs to make etc etc and I get that they want to justify the cost but as a consumer I will never ever pay $105 for an extended battery
for $105 u can get -
1 mugen 6400
8 Anker 3100each
2 zero lemon 9300each
4 hyperion 6200each
10 qcell 3100each w 10 external chargers

You do realize its capacity is anywhere from 2500 mAh to 3100 mAh, not really 4000 mAh? It's physically impossible to fit bigger higher capacity cells into single OEM battery size. Typically these ebay batteries, like Golden 4200 mAh, are closer to 2500 mAh (I have tested a few), but from your screenshots and the fact it costs over $10 - I think its safe to assume it will be closer to OEM 3100 mAh. Just gotta watch out for any bulging which happens with these over time especially when you charge them at full 2A speed, and you probably going to notice performance to go down in about 3-4 months.
Sorry bro, didn't mean to rain on your parade. It's just a fact with these ebay batteries.

Well it doesn' t seem much, if any, better than stock battery.
It is surely better than my stock battery. So it can't be less than 3100mah. Has to be higher.
It is not physically impossible. Not sure where you got that info from.
You didn't rain on my parade. I have results to prove it. My stock battery is now used as back. No use for it day to day now.
Only idiots buy golden battery lol.

Ooh, you just offended a bunch of people on this forum who got Golden batteries hoping they will get 4200 mAh for $6
Unless you have some latest ground breaking info about new development in battery cell density, Samsung used the highest density battery in their OEM footprint. It's a fact. The only way to maximize it was by doubling the size, thus all the reputable companies had double thickness/capacity with 6200 mAh batteries and Zerolemon had it at triple with 9300 mAh. The only company that was able to squeezed a bit more was Mugen who does their own development and was able to squeeze in 6400 mAh in double capacity.
To verify capacity of your battery, looking at performance with screen on time, etc is not accurate. Especially since you are comparing it to an original battery with aged performance. You need to get an external hardware battery tester where you charge the battery to a full capacity and let it discharge down to 2.4V cutoff voltage while monitoring the actual current drain over time to get the exact capacity in mAh.
Btw, just for sh!ts'n'giggles, take the label off your battery to see what is stamped in there as actual capacity
I dont need to get anything. ..
My real world usage proves this last longer than my stock battery. I bought this battery to use as a backup but now my stock battery is the backup.
Are you saying mu screenshots are fake?
Also if you're point was valid, aa batteries come in one size right?
Why are there 800mah, 1200mah and 1600mah aa batteries?
I am happy and surprised with my purchase. Doesn't matter what you might think. My screen shots prove it.

Chill bro, I'm not doubting your screenshots or your experience. As I said, it sounds like you probably got 3100 mAh battery. That's all. As someone who reviews a lot of accessories and gadgets on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333) and helps other members on this forum, I just want to be sure other people are not mislead by thinking they can get 4000 mAh battery because Note 2 battery with such capacity doesn't exist. Period. Neither does anything over 3200 mAh since I remember testing my Anker 3100 mAh to be slightly higher then stock capacity. The screenshots are real, I'm not doubting it, but that is call a "relative test" to another reference of someone else using stock capacity battery under different conditions with different setting and running different apps. We had people reporting poor performance with ZL 9300 mAh while the fact is they were comparing it to stock battery performance from 3-4 months ago when they had different setup with different apps, etc.
Just calm down, enjoy your battery, and spend a little bit of time reading this website with a lot of Note 2 battery reviews and explanation how they really being tested: http://www.batteryreview.info/
Ok just making sure you aren't hating lol.
I didnt say I believe it to be 4000mah. I just believe it is higher than 3100mah because it lasts longer.

It lasts longer cause its a new 3100 that hasn't degraded like the one you are currently used to.

It's probly a case of new 3100MAH compared to your used original 3100MAH
Only new battery tech could squeeze juice more into the same physical battery.
New battery tech wouldn't be sold for $14. :good:
Anyway at $14 that's not bad. Let us know how it performs over time. Cheaper than buying an original Samsung 3100mah
Just got this
Just got this battery and managed to last over 7hrs of onscreen time doing mostly messaging, web browsing, watching videos off the microsd card and youtube.
Auto-brightness was set to about 30% (was more than sufficient for an overcast day and 8 hours in the office).
Had location services turned on, gmail and Exchange syncing. Also had music playing (Poweramp) for most of the work day.
Hope this helps any others looking to give this a try.
No idea if I will get this sort of screen time on the stock battery as I've only had a half day use of it (bought the phone used off ebay and got the extended battery at the same time).
I get these same stats on my stock battery. Running ADHD 18 with latest Perseus kernel

Im not impressed
As i can see your screen on time is just 4+ hours, i can say im getting somewhat 6-7 hours screen on time with my 7 months old stock sammy battery
As far as I'm aware the Mugen battery is the best available at 3200mah. The Anker one being a better value for money choic3 at slightly higher than stock.
I have no way of actually testing this though, but there's no way the OP's battery is anywhere near 4000mah.
On a similar note, does anyone know of any tools to accurately measure these battery capacities?
–edit sorry wrong link that was for testing cords not batteries
gNOTE2 rolling in the north
I see the reviews here are pretty old now.... so can anyone of you update the status of your battery performance now?
im sorry but i think zerolemon is better with 9300 if u dont mind the bulk
