Decided that instead of an upgrade to my phone, a new battery will eek out some more life from this one. What's the biggest capacity battery that has ZERO size issues fitting in the mogul? It's a Sprint model if that matters.
Thanks!
Fits perfectly? Do you mean no extended case?
biggest mah battery
The biggest mah battery that I have seen that fits in without te bigger back door is this one
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...os-akkumulator-sprint-htc-mogul-ppc-6800.html
They also have the most powerfull one, 3600mah and that comes with a new battery door.

Kind of expensive IMHO. I would go on ebay (like I did) and buy one there for 10 - 15 bucks depending on which one. Make sure it states 'new' and gives the mah rating. some batteries say bigger capacity but don't tell you anything about the rating.... There are 3000 mah extended with a door for 12.99 free shipping. Even the label on the battery is the same as OEM except the actual logo....
yeah 1 already buy extended battery the price around 12 usd, shipped from Hongkong.
i think the battery capacity not 3000mah (even in spec said so) i just feel little enhancement from my previous battery
maybe if you want to buy extended battery, try to buy mugen the original one.
For posterity I wanted to point some readers to batteryboss.org
Reviews batteries and there are a lot of scammers out there.
Hello guys.
I'm about to replace my OB's battery (1500 mAh one) with a 3000 mAh one. Does this battery fits the phone?
http://www.batteryupgrade.com/shopB...rtmentProductId/62216813/shopGroupId/67670221
Thanks.
It will fit , just the phone will be twice thicker. And quite heavier.
Thats why it comes with extra-big back panel.
I just bought this:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/390505661772...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1175wt_1139
It fits well.
The first one is expesive, if a seller says that his Li-Ion Akkus have no memory effect than it's fraud because Li-Ion batterys never have it. The second one is not better than the original one, well maybe a tiny little bit.
I have a 3500mAh battery from eBay for 10€, it is nearly the same as the first one. A friend has bought that battery from a local dealer and payed 17€ it is labeld 3000mAh but it's the same. Maybe in HongKong the lable it 3500mAh cause it sounds better but in the EU they can't do it because controlls here are better. Anyway both batterys are made in Singapoure.
:laugh:
Hy did anyone bought this battery from Ebay and has some experiences ?
It's declared 2500 mah and I dont this is generic Chinese battery like Gold batteries,do you thinks it provides real 2500 mah ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181138474411?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Are there any extended batteries for LG 4X like 2500-2600-2700 mah batteries ?

I'd like to know if this battery is any better than the stock one, too.
I like that you don't need a larger back cover with this ebay one.... Anyone any experience with this battery? Also, with the larger batteries that DO require an extended back cover, how is NFC affected?
NFC won't work, because NFC antenna is in the original back cover.

you actually get nfc antenna included in custom cover, for example see here:

so nfc should work.

I googled this batteries,they dont seem low cheap *hit as golden batteries,but just google mpj battery s2 and I just see bad reviews of this battery,they dont provide 50 % of declared mah.
Sad, it seemed too good to be true. :/

There are varieties of extra capacity batteries for 4X, up to 4800 mAh @ 3.7V, but most require some custom back cover which usually doesn't include NFC anntena, and the true capacity is in question as is the quality (longevity) of these batts. Mugen's deal is genuine (from various reviews and remarks), the back cover has NFC, but the price is just insane, $90 for the cover and battery! And they're not that great:
Good battery but new case not good

The extended battery is about 20% better than original but case is not a great fit. The phone is LG 880 HD Optimus. Battery is costly for what u get.

Just 20% better autonomy from a doubled amount of mAhs is a failure.

Yeah, I'm thinking the $90 for a freaking battery is way overkill on the price tag. Unless that thing had a mini-arc reactor that can power the phone for a whole year without any slowdown, then the price is warranted. I've switched my original battery for the Onite 4800mAH and the performance is just about as impressive as the touted Mugen one for more than half of the Mugen price. Average non-heavy use on a single charge goes up to at least 2 to 2.5 full days to reach zero charge.
I've also played around batteries of varying sized from the gold 2450mAH up to the 4800mAH that I now use and I have noticed that depending on which battery you use, the phone either heats up insanely fast or rarely heats up at all. The gold 2450mAH battery I have has just as much of a pitiful charge as the original battery that came with the phone but for some reason, the recorded temp rarely strays between 77°f to 88°f at it's lightest and heaviest usage. The 4300mAH battery also shows the same readings as the gold battery. The Onite one I have that is 4800mAH is almost as normal as the original battery - in that it's temp rises depending on usage from 77°f up to 110°f (110°f at the worst without any throttling at all, graphite heat sink pad included). I have no idea why that is, but if someone here can explain, please do so.
As for NFC, I barely use it at all, but I do have more than one back cover that includes the NFC antenna for extended batteries if I ever feel the need to use NFC.

2500 mAh for that price? .... No Way. This is also to good to be true. And in 99% of all cases where something seems to be to good to be true, it usually is.

A larger capacity battery without larger backcover is impossible. The capacity of a battery is directly related to it's size (using same technology). Without using a physically bigger battery it's not possible to get more capacity, unless they invent a new technology. Maybe they can squize a few more mAh in there, but that's it.
So if you want a significantly larger capacity, you have to have a battery that,s substantialy bigger and therefore require a different back-cover.

I have a question. I have a leather flip case.
Because the back of the case is made of plastic and is not thin. Is there a similar case for the 4500 mah battery?

Did anyone tried this battery,I'm planning to buy this MPJ battery or Aku Polar,MPJ gives 200 mah more juice on paper,but in reality ?
And its cheaper than Aku,what do you think ? I have two 1800 mah golden batteries,one doesnt work and I plan to order stronger battery for daily use and leave stock and gold for backup
I can recommend this battery it gives more time of use

I just bought the MPJ 5000mAh Extended Battery for my s2, I'll report back when I get it to see just how accurate this will be. I figured $22 and can be returned, so why not try it.
They actually have their own site, http://www.mpjbattery.com/
Which most no-name batteries from China do not. So who knows!

keep us updated
Got the battery yesterday, I'm fully charging it as we speak in an external charger. The battery itself is massive and heavy (you would think it was actually 5000mah just by visually inspecting). I will update and post back after I put it in. The back cover fits perfectly and tightly, pleasantly surprised about that.
My last extended bat was on my my touch 4g, so I have experience with them. Let's see how this pans out!

I'm not looking for huge 6000mAh batteries that make my phone thrice as big. Just something that will give me a bit more juice. I know all those gold batteries selling on ebay are scams. There's no way to fit a higher capacity battery with the same dimensions and using the same case.
So are there are batteries in the 3800 to 4500 mAh range that won't make my phone as bulky?
I can safely tell you no.
If you want a battery that is bigger than 3100mah and not a scam, the best you can do is get a double battery 6200mah which makes your phones twice as thick, not three times as thick.
These companies are legit and also have very reasonably priced 3100mah batteries which you can get multiple of and charge externally if you dont want a thicker phone

There is the Mugen 3200mAh which is the same physical size of the OEM 3100, but as it's Mugen, its pricey. http://www.amazon.com/3200mah-Extended-Battery-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00AN34JLU
Not really worth it for the price, considering you can get a spare Samsung 3100mAh and battery charger for around the same price.
I've pretty much removed Mugen from my vocab. Their pricing is just plain ridiculous. They don't offer anything special to make up for the price premium
Try an anker battery.. very cheap and I can confirm they perform slightly better than stock.
This was also the case on many of my previous phones. It really id the best bang for buck same dimension battery you're gunna find.

Qcell is the best according to some testing done - It actually provided 100mah more than advertised 6200 (i forget where the link was on that, but google it).
Next Best battery is the EZO power - you actually get the advertised Mah's of these batterys.... I'm using Qcell and get 2+ days easy
Hyperion always raises an eyebrow... some people peeled the label off their hyperions and they were (3) 1500's packed together... sketchy as hell

Yea I find the 3100 ones perform slightly better than stock. Personally I'll never use an extended battery, but these ones work good and its conveniant being able to carry it and to swap it out when not near a power out.
I'm sure the mugen 3200mah battery is the best slim battery available, but the cost is absolutely ridiculous.
