Ive just seen this on Clove, and wondering if anyone has bought it yet?
Really i would like to know how big the bulge will really be, as there aren't any good photos on their site... LINK
Seems like a good price for the capacity!

That particular extended battery (from that manufacturer) is now available from many sites. I did some searching earlier today and there are some great pictures available (sorry...I don't remember where).
It looks nice, but like you I'll look forward to what people think after they get it and use it.

there arent any good photos of the bulge is due to the fact that the extended battery is really ugly. There's no decent view of it from any angle.

bought this a few days back. the back cover looks really awkward. the battery lasts full day with wifi and gprs on. after about 8-9 hrs the battery is exhausted and strangely when taken out of the mobile and reinserted, the battery meter shows me another 49 to 50 % left. so basically double life. but i havent checked it practically for two days without recharge

Thanks I was fearing as much, i did find a few photos last night, that seemed to show a gap where the cover meets the phone body under the camera LINK

you have a point! I have just been looking at the HTC extended battery and i really like it but the price and not be able to use a case really puts me off...so i think you are right, maybe a spare or two standard batts are the answer

Just got mine in the mail.
I kind of had to push it on real hard. I think it clicked. It's got a rubber finish. Not bad but not perfect. Haven't used yet will report.
21$ USD received in about 2-3 days from purchase in the U.S. Pretty quick. I like that. Doesn't ship from Hong Kong. Or it didn't for me anyway.

Thanks for the post and the pictures. Will look forward to your thoughts after you've used it.

I bought the one from Clove a few weeks ago. The cover didn't fit too well. The space cut out for the volume bar prevented the cover from sitting onto the device properly. I cut out a bit of the corner then it fit.
Then I found the cover didn't "lock" well to the device. One side was OK while the other was just too loose (it didn't "click"). Just a slight touch/pressure would make the cover fall off. This was totally unacceptable.
I nevertheless still held on to it just to see how the battery perform. I fully charged it for 8 hours (overnight) but then I just felt (feeling only; no proper testing) that it was more than the original juice by half only, no where near the supposed-to-be-almost-double.
Being totally disappointed, I returned the cover + battery to Clove, who admitted that it was a manufacturing defect (I didn't really complain about the battery). New stock will however be only available end of the month.
While waiting for the new stock, Clove was kind enough to inform me that the original HTC extended battery (with stand) was available. So, I informed them that I would want to get the original HTC one instead.
Sales at Clove really sucked. They didn't even bother to read emails nor customer records or whatever and asking me to return my battery - what the heck. Like this, after a few rounds of email exchange (one email reply per day), the Sales finally seemed to understand the situation and advised me of an additional charge of 30 British Pounds ??????
The HTC extended battery is priced at 35 pounds while the one I returned is 15 pounds. So, apart from the VAT, etc., they obviously charge me at least 10 pounds for the shipment, again. Excuse me, that was supposed to be a replacement!!!
Like this, another few rounds of email exchange (that means a few days), i finally gave up and stick to waiting for the replacement.
Just some experience to share with those who are interested in this battery and buying from Clove.

as if the HD 2 isnt big enough allready. I just bought a spare normal battery which i will keep in the car or something.

Battery isn't really a problem anymore at least with my phone. Can have Wifi and bluetooth on all day listen to music ect. Make calls and browse and still on about 30-50% at 11pm when taken off charge at about 7am. If I turn things off and use it just a bit I can get 2-3 days out of it. Using Elegance Rom with 2.07 Radio

Here's my review:
http://htchd2.net/?p=70
I purchased the battery on Ebay here http://myworld.ebay.com/av-battery/. It arrived in about 2-3 business days. Pretty quick. Obviously not shipped from outside the U.S.
Where I live my HD2 is constantly struggling to hold a signal. It goes between 1-3 bars 3G most of the day. Mostly hanging around 1 bar and sometimes dropping signal altogether depending where I’m standing in my house. So with that said I’ve charged it fully and used it 2 full days. I mess with the HD2 most of the day surfing via wifi and 3G. Watch some videos and do a handful of calls a day. The battery does definitely offer more juice than the standard. I wouldn’t say double but maybe 70-75% more. So for me I get pretty much a full days use out of it. But I think it’s because my signal isn’t great where I live. If I lived where I had 4 bars constantly I’m thinking I’d get at least 2 days out of it.
It does have a good rubberized coating and the extra girth isn’t really a big deal. Actually the hump kind of fills a gap in my hand when I hold the device. In the pocket it does stick out more but not too bad. My cover didn’t fit on perfectly on my device also. It did click on both sides though. Some people are saying that one side isn’t clicking on. But mine did after I applied some pressure. Definitely not as quality as the original cover and it’s plastic not metal. Also the volume keys are almost flush with the cover making it hard to click the volume keys.
One benefit of this battery is when I lay the phone on it’s back the camera edge doesn’t scratch surfaces anymore. I think I can live with the hump on this device. I think I’ll keep this battery on. I’m curious about the official extended battery how/if it will perform better and I think I would like the kickstand. But for half or even less the price I’m OK with this solution for now.
SCORE: 8.0

I bought one of these off ebay also. Seems the same one as is available everywhere. Battery was ok but backplate was crap and would not clip in on one side. I complained and asked for a replacement, which they granted and then i changed my mind that I wanted a refund. They gave me my refund and didnt ask me to post it back Next thing they have sent me a replacement as well (although again backplate wont clip in properly)!!!! And in between i ordered the official one so ive got three now lol.
Anyways the official one is far far better. Backplate is metal and of perfect construction (as you might expect) and kick stand is nice and solid.

got this battery today. The back cover doesn't feet well, one side doesn't lock.

Hello,
I bought this 2400mAh battery a month ago, but it has the same problem. The capacity of the battery is as described, but the battery indicator shows wrong percentage. It means that, when the indicator shows 0% and automatically turn the phone off, the battery still have about 50% of the power inside. I have to remove the battery out of the phone and install again, then it shows the 50% left.
Anybody know how to install it in a correct way (without this problem).
Thank you very much!

Ok, I bought the same battery off thEbay and the cover didn't fit well either. So I got out my pocket knife and shaved away very thinly on the cover where it has the cutout for the volume buttons, and also at the bottom of that edge till it fit and clicked in place. The most I had to cut away was at the top and bottom of the buttons, and in the radius. I think I trimmed a very tiny bit off the top of the cover too. It's very soft plastic so go slow like you are shaving it. Fits like a champ now with very noticeable increase in power.

Forgein battery imports... they aren't even TRYING to hide their scam anymore!

Sometimes I look at eBay for batteries, even though I know they're pretty much all imported garbage (and who knows how many peoples' water supplies are being tainted by industrial chemicals to produce this cheap ****). I am lured by high capacity and "USA FAST SHIP" slapped all over the product pictures. Regardless, it seems that recently these sellers have gotten a bit more ballsy and have decided to be honest about their products... kind of.
Here are the most recent batteries that have somehow floated to shore from our friends in the far east (along with screenshots):

And another! This one apparently is only good "up to" 1000mah...
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Cell-Phone-...228457?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a07b991e9
Who are they trying to kid? (Unfortunately, probably more people get scammed than we think...)

Yeah, who are they trying to kid by not hiding their scam anymore !?

Other than from Verizon, where should I look for a new battery?

Even they are borderline sketchy.

To be honest, I bought this exact battery the first week I got my phone on launch day (first link) except it was a package of 2 batteries and an external charger for $10 and free shipping. Best decision I made. They last about 12 hours on moderate use for me. I'd rather carry around an extra battery than shell out $50+ for seidio.. until you try it, don't automatically assume it's not worth the $3 because I use it every day.

I think you are all missing the point...
They don't specify an exact mAH number rating. They specify a range from 500 to as low as 1000 and as high as 1600.
The fact that three different vendors all sell the same battery with the same ad copy with the same pictures but wildly different power ratings positively screams "avoid at any cost" in your face.

I bought the same thing. I'm sure most people that visit Android blogs did as a few endorsed/advertised it.

Eh I got one battery and an external charger shipped for about $5. Sure it doesn't last as long as an OEM battery but hey, for the price of a fast food meal I got an extra battery that I can pop in to my phone in a crunch. I use the OEM battery mostly and then I have this one when I need it. I wouldn't recommend using it as a main battery though. Just my thoughts

i bought oem evo battery and it runs at 1800 mAH instead of 1500 and Best thing I did. Both are the same size. Bought two for 20 dollars off ebay before I even got my phone.

What's so sketchy about Seidio?
They make quality products. I bought one of their slim extended batteries for the DInc - works like a charm. I can get through a full day with heavy usage and still have 20-30% life left over. Granted, I use SetCPU to adjust my CPU speeds - which greatly helps improve my battery life.
But I've bought many products from Seidio - cases, batteries, charges - none have ever failed me.
What was your bad experience with them?

Seidio's been good to me also, I'm running the 1750mah battery and I certainly can't complain. I also have the Innocase Rugged which offers great protection, albeit I use just the inner Innocase most of the time, it's nice to have the option.

I bought one of these, came with two batteries and a charger. can't beat the price. I just peeled the sticker off that surrounds the battery and replaced it with scotch tape (to make it thinner). it's barely thicker than the stock battery and last at least as long. cheap chinese. whatever, but $10 for two spares and a charger is an amazing bargain.
(can't post the link, but I got the htc my touch slide 1500mah batteries and charger from china. on ebay).

I bought a cheap chinese 3500mah battery on Ebay from a guy in hong kong, and it doubled my battery life for 10 bucks.

Their products suck. The 1750 battery lasts 3/4 as long as my stock battery, and the innocase ii peeled and scratched the sides of my phone
Sent from my personal space

Seidio's batteries from those tests ranged from 79% to 82% of their rated capacity.
OEM batteries ranged from 96% to 100%.
The OEM EVO 4G 1500mAh battery fits in the Incredible and has a very, very, very high likelihood of last just as long, if not longer than, a Seidio 1750mAh.
That is what's sketchy about Seidio.

Honesty is best, but,,,,,
,,,but business is in it to make money. I have not bought any knock off batteries, but I do not understand why they can not be as good. We know that HTC probably is not in the battery manufacture business, they must have someone make them for them. Would it not stand to reason that if discovered the company that makes the good ones for HTC could sell them to us. Or think about this, maybe they get them from China too from the same places on the net but the Chineese test them all and sell the best testing ones to HTC, they would not throw away batteries they have made and sealed and have money tied up in so they put the crap ones on the net for sale,,,,,just a thought;-)

I bought one from Ebay and am quite happy with it.
It cost me $0.01 loll plus 10.99 shipping from hong kong I guess.
Ebay 1 penny battery
It works great.. Not exactally DOUBLE the life of the OEM battery but pretty darn close.
Here is a tip I read online and IT WORKS AMASINGLY for my DINC.
When you get up in the morning, unplug your phone from the charger and shut it down.. then when its OFF,, then plug the charger back in for 30-60 minutes or so while you take a shower or eat breakfast or whatever...
It makes my battery last MUCH MUCH LONGER..
Now I am wondering if there is some type of program that will automate this for me? I noticed though, when you leave the charger plugged in and shut the phone down,, it doesnt reset the charging cycle.. The Light stays green and doesnt charge.
Anyone know of an app that will shut my phone down at a predetermined time?

4200mAh Nexus 4 - second internal battery!

Just thought I'd share a mod I've done to my nexus 4..
After smashing the back glass on my nexus 4 and getting tired of glass shards in
my pocket/hand every day I decided to make a new back for it (£50 for a replacement is a bit excessive..)
I thought I may as well try and add in another battery too, as I don't mind a thicker
phone and would always opt for a fatter phone with more battery if I had the choice..!
Now I have a 4200mAh nexus 4!!!

How To:
-Remove the battery cover, and remove all the glass from it (its a pain...so much glue...but easy with blade to slide under)
-Solder a wire to the positive of the battery connector (disconnect the battery) and a wire to the negative side. Leave them fairly long for now...then reattach the battery connector to the phone
-Peel off the NFC/wireless charging coils from the battery cover and put to one side
-Solder a wire to each of the 4 gold spring contacts that connect to the coils...leave these fairly long too
-Put the battery cover back on the phone making sure all 6 wires are sticking out the back
-Now put the second battery (I used a Samsung galaxy S3 battery, 2100mah 3.8v same as nexus 4 (and cheap)) in place on the back of the phone and fix it in place (double sided tape, hot glue..)
-Measure the voltage of the second battery and then measure the nexus 4 battery voltage and either charge or discharge the nexus 4 until the voltages of the two batteries are within about 0.05v of each other
-Solder the positive wire coming from the nexus 4 battery to the second battery positive contact, and negative to negative
-Put the coils on top of the second battery and fix in place. Then solder the 4 wires coming from the gold spring contacts to the correct contacts on the coils
-Now mark out a thick piece of plastic (I used 12mm Acetyl) so it fits in the step where the glass sat. Then use a router or similar to cut out a pocket for the second battery to fit. I shaped the back using a router, and finished it off with a belt sander.
-Fix the new back part to the phone using something sticky (I'm going to re stick mine with sikaflex, but hot glue or double sided tape work!)
-Now enjoy over 7 hours of screen on time!!

Original post:
Hi there, I'm hoping to add a second battery or single larger battery to my nexus 4.
Can anyone see any problems adding another battery in parallel with the current one? The charging circuits are built into the battery so I guess it should work.....
Also I'm thinking of putting in a higher capacity single battery...from a note 2 maybe or one of these case batteries
I'm not bothered about the battery cover part of the phone..I can get that sorted after its working

I doubted you and I should be ashamed. Lol

I doubt it's going to work. Different batteries for different devices. Have you looked under the hood to see how the N4 battery is connected to the phone? Zerolemon is making a external battery that will allow us to snap and connect as it rides on it's back. It'll be up for sale in May.

Yeah I have the back off (it was smashed so I'm making a new one!) And its easy to add in small wires to the connector to get a battery in parallel. I've ordered a 3.8v 2100mah battery which is here tomorrow and I'm going to try it as long as I have both battery voltages identical before connecting them in paralell, there shouldn't really be a problem as the voltages should stay identical & both have separate charging circuits!
Yeah I was reading the thread about the ZeroLemon cases yesterday, they should be good!

I'm not sure but if you wire them in parallel, would that effectively double the voltage and fry your phone? Using a single larger battery with identical voltage to the original outta work though

It's the other way around. If you wire them in parallel, you double the current. If you wire them in series, you double the voltage.

Okay I'm running with a sgs3 battery (3.8v & 2100mah) in parallel, so now have a 4200mah nexus 4 I'm just finishing off wiring the wireless charging/NFC coils then I'll try and get some pics....

pics would be awesome, im curious about this alternative back you are using since you said the stock back shattered. also pics of the inside showing how you mounted it all would be cool. i would never do this but it sounds really interesting so if its too much of a pain, no biggie

What I'm doing with the back: I've taken all the glass off the plastic bit(the rubberised surround is part of this..) And where the glass was there is a step where it sat. I'm putting a thick back (Plastic) with the inside milled out for the sgs3 battery to fit. It will Be rounded and look a bit like the HTC one back then I'll wrap it in carbon fibre effect vinyl so it looks nice and professional!

Battery life is epic......4 hours screen time with full screen brightness after 24 hours off charger!!!! Only problem is that the battery meter goes down as usual (same speed) but stops around 20% (~3.8v) and stays there for aaaaaages before starting to drop again....
There is a file in sys/class/power_supply giving the full capacity of the battery (2100mah). Is this used to calculate percent? I might try changing it to 4200 and see if I get better readings....

Pics??

Look at the battery graph..... Stays flat for hours even when being used! Battery is very good... 2 days of proper usage!

Battery just died... 7hr 15min screen time after nearly 35.5 hours off the charger ))
Its actually really easy...only hard bit is getting a back cover to fit over the extra battery...3D printer would be nice
Cost me £5 for the battery & £3 for the plastic (acetal) block the back is made from!
I will get some pics of the back when its finished properly

Could you use any other phone battery? As I have some old smartphones laying around. Might try get into this mod as I never say no to more battery life.

Yep i guess you could...each battery has its own protection circuit in so the batteries can't over charge etc
I will whack some pictures up of my neuxs tonight...its all done now

Nice one! Another option is to buy a 5000mAh battery pack, a good one like NewTrent often costs $25 - price varies quite a lot for some reason. It's a black rectangle about as big as the phone, and you just connect from the USB port to the phone with a normal charging cable. And you charge it up from a PC/wall charger.
Obviously a bit messy when you actually have to connect, but when you are not charging the phone is still the original size.
Hope I didn't spoil the fun

That would break this in the root. We are trying to add a battery not charge the existing one. I own a 12000mAh battery but this is very interesting as it would improve the battery capacity directly.

There seems to be 1000s of posts out there from people with broken batteries, and no consistent info on suppliers.
If I find a supplier I will post again, but I'm not holding my breath.
My sole lead is http://www.batteryforum.org/t1427-nook-hd-battery-gb-s02-308594-0100#1490
Such a shame, as this is a fabulous tablet IMO.

http://www.portatronics.com/product...Nook-HD--Battery-and-back-cover-original.html

Interesting.
Looks like a reasonable price as well since it claims to be an OEM part and includes the back panel.
I might ask a friend to pick one up for me (I'm in UK).
Thanks a million for posting this!

that's what's inside of mine, HD+, anyone have someplace that sells replacements for HD+ in europe? the battery is bust, other than that it works great even though tablet is a tad slow, plenty great for movies and reading stuff... seems a shame to need to bin it just due to battery

The only on-line place I can find through Google search that seems to even carry the battery is portatronics (http://www.portatronics.com/index.php?cat=c535_Barnes---Noble-Nook-HD--BNTV600.html), but they don't seem to have very good customer reviews, e.g., http://www.yelp.com/biz/portatronics-new-york-4.
Power99 appears to have good feedback from XDA members but have not had the HD+ battery in stock for quite some time.

well, i wasn't ready to bin my perfectly working tablet just because the battery gave up, so here's my solution http://imgur.com/a/QqihT turns out sony makes almost exact same size and capacity cells to replace the pair that is in the nook, with some DIY elbow grease. if there are enough people ill make a tutorial or some more in depth information on the matter. Long live my NOOK HD+.

Thanks, thought that was abundantly clear from the pictures. Sony cells are actually a bit smaller than the original, so i had some room left over, same capacity (3000Mah x2 cells) and even Li Po exactly same as originals. it works as new, lasts as new as well. super happy and easier than it sounds, just need to be careful not to short it out, touched the battery contacts together a few times, those LiPo cells pack some damn amperage, sparks are pretty scary. other than that a good soldering iron helps, as those terminals are huge heatsinks. Tossed out the encasing as it made things easier to just use some thick tape to insulate everything, with some adhesive to hold cells in, they're nice and stuck in there. Contacts didn't quite align, few terminals did so i soldered those directly while jumping others with a little wire (a fairly thick one, just in case). could do it better and tidier with current hindsight, but I'm too lazy to redo it when it works perfectly well as is also put together everything and all those screws + bezel adhesive... not ripping all that apart without a good reason.
also need to make sure both cells are fairly close in voltage as they might get damaged, they dish out some decent amperage and since they're connected together, can potentially end badly.
Anyways to update, it works perfectly fine, i noticed a boost in performance, i guess old cells couldn't deliver stable power causing issues. It lasts as new, i didn't do a weight in, but doubt it matter. Sony cells were 4.99£ each on ebay, so 9.98£ total.
all in all happy not to spend 60$+shipping+possibly import tax on the replacement battery which is likely a used part anyways. It's a great tablet(albeit slow) and hopefully will serve me well for my movies and reading needs for a long time to come. If anyone is looking to do this, feel free to PM me i'll be happy to help. Love my HD+, I'm probably not alone :highfive:

A link to your source of the batteries would be helpful, and (it might be too late to ask but) an even more close-up picture of the wiring connections would be great.

batteries came from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-Genui...056770?hash=item20ea5f2282:g:8dgAAOSwDk5T5NQ0
The wiring, is pretty simple, + to + and - to - . all marked on batteries, if you don't make note before you undo the terminals of original cells, the 2 contacts closer to middle are positive terminals and 2 further on each side are negative.
had to strip off the plastic casing and a bunch of tape off the ultra z batteries, had to use wire to jump 3/4 terminals as the contacts didn't align very well compared to originals, but again, it's just a few jumper wires and unless you keep the super long there is enough room in there to leave them, but not if you want to keep the little black plastic enclosure, then it'd be troublesome as that leaves no room, that's why i went for the tape things up approach.
trickiest part was alighting everything and placing tape on top of terminals so they don't short out, rest is straight forward soldering a few wires to terminals. keep in mind to get some alright flux and solder as i'd imagine it'd be quite hard to tin those without it. then again no clue what they're made of.
also lower capacity cells should work fine, i was looking for something of larger capacity to be honest(who wants worse battery life!?), but couldn't really find anything that would fit nearly as nicely as the sony cells, or not be china no brand things with 2 wires sticking out of them...
hope it helps :good:

Thank you for posting the "tutorial" for installing the 2 Sony Z batteries. Scoured the net for hours in search of the elusive GB-S02-308594-0100 and, as a previous person posted, only found it available for $69 plus shipping (USA) from Portatronics out of NYC. However, a quick search of consumer reviews for this site turned up the lowest rating I've ever seen on the Better Business Bureau site .
Then I stumbled into your solution, un4tural. THANK YOU for posting this! It is the only solutions I've found in days of searching. On Ebay I found the batteries here in the U.S. at $24 for 2 plus free shipping. I know you've already installed your battery, but if anyone else reading this plans to do the same, a short video tutorial would be greatly appreciated! My HD+ is less than 3 years old and the folks at Barnes & Nobles were kind enough to offer me a new device to buy. WHY WOULD I TRUST another machine from them?! Plus I do love this Nook, when it worked!! I'll post a follow up on how the install went & will include photos & possibly a video if all goes well.

I have a question about fit of the batteries. It seems the Sony Lis 1520 battery is 98x82x3mm. Would the Lis 1525 at 75x62x5mm or the Lis 1558 at 79.05x60.26x4.26mm fit?

@EPell13 its not hard, just need to remove some tape and stuff then a little soldering, not sure if it's allowed to post links to other forum, sorry if not but I've posted here as well http://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/bn-nook-hd-battery-replacement/msg857055/#msg857055 there are measurements etc. too for what you need, plus some more info. i guess ill try and compile it all into a single post and put it out there, it's really not difficult as long as you can do some basic soldering etc. any battery would work, of larger or smaller capacity as long as it is within the size constraints.
@tj2003 the cells are around 3mm thick, whole package 200x85x3 mm. now with replacement, you want something 190x85x2.5-4mm maybe 4.5 thick, as there is some room to spare thickness wise, but not a lot and original cells are 3mm thick. with the ultra z cells i used, i can still bend the case inward on where the battery is, so i'd say another 1mm on that shouldn't be noticeable, but i am eye balling.
the battery you mention should fit, if not you can get creative and move the control circuit elsewhere, it around 1mm wide between the two cells as you can see in photos. keep in mind lipo cells come in kind of baggies, so you might be able to get away with slightly bigger ones if you tuck everything inside neatly.
It's not exact science, but it's not too difficult, the battery contacts are huge, so even if you have hands of ham you should be alright.
glad it helps someone, will gladly answer any other question you might have. also make sure the two cells are at roughly similar voltage, those bastards have pretty huge amp output, as i mentioned they produce some proper sparks if shorted, so they could get quite hot from charging each other cause they're basically just shorted together, so try and keep the voltage difference minimal. mine were within 0.1volts, had no issues. charging them right after might be a good idea too to equal out the voltages.

Hi Folks
hope this saves someone some time.
Part number for HD+ battery (not the HD) is GB-S02-308594-0100.
Picture (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094006):
There seems to be 1000s of posts out there from people with broken batteries, and no consistent info on suppliers.
If I find a supplier I will post again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hello everyone,
I felt the need to create an account and let you guys know what I just found out by accident that replacement Nook HD+ batteries may be on the way soon. An Amazon seller "MPFProducts" replied to a customer and stated they are currently testing Nook HD+ batteries that they will sell.
Here is the Amazon link to their statement:
http://www.amazon.com/forum/-/Tx3VVTZRIMPCH48/ref=ask_dp_dpmw_al_hza?asin=B00WNEBRDK

New Update!!!
newpower99.com finally restocked Nook HD+ batteries. They are going for $79.95. Just curious, is that a fair price for this kind of Tablet?
Thanks!

Another update on new batteries.
seller named "smavstore" on eBay is selling new Nook HD+ batteries.

unfortunately they don't ship to Europe. I'm on the lookout for a UK or European distributor. the battery life is shockingly poor. I need a battery fix before my HD+ becomes unusable. any pointers welcome...

Kicking up an OLD thread here, but I wanted to put it out there that the LIS1558ERPC batteries do work. They are about as thick as you can go though, so now we know the max. My nook fired right up with no problems upon plugging it in, and all my battery issues are gone. Thanks again @un4tural for the idea! I got mine from Amazon for a total of $17 usd.
Udate: battery still working flawlessly, and as a bonus, on paper the lis1558 should give me approx. an extra 40 minutes of use. Its a peak 4.35v battery so nominally .1v more and 200mAh more in a smaller, though slightly thicker, package. Keep in mind this is calculated off the specs sheet of the ovation showing that it does 9 hours of video playback with 6000mAh making the draw at .66mA and the upgrade adding 200mAh to the same numbers. This makes for 9.39 hours of video play. For the price, I am happy. Antoine else try this yet? How did it work out?

LG G4 Extended Battery, MPJ 6000mAh Battery and Black Back Cover for $29.90

First, I’d like to thank MPJ for sending this 6000mAh battery for testing and this is an unbiased review. I usually don’t like to test batteries because I always carry my extra original battery and QC 2.0 Power bank with me. I have my G4 on May 28th 2015. One week before the G4 was selling in USA. The G4 was given to by LG USA Mobile for the G4 Trial Program. After a couple of weeks I have brought a battery on Ebay for about $7 shipped from China. This is the first battery I can find but its a fake battery that wouldn’t hold charge and drain like crazy.
This MJP battery will give a MASSIVE boost to your phone's life. Makes the phone a lot more beefy and a bit more heavy, but if you are a heavy user it is way more than worth it to try. The case/battery is flatter than the standard back of the G4 which makes it sit steady on table tops which I liked.
The charging speed is about the same as the original battery but 2 X more because its 6000mAh. The charging temperature is around 23 degree C which is quite cool. I had even tested to see the battery will hold charges.I fully charged the battery and left it unused for 3 days. Then put it on G4 and its still at 100%.
Pros:
- Ridiculous battery life boost, like an insane jump over standard G4.
- New case is steady on tables and will not scratches the camera lens.
Cons:
- Bulkier/beefier phone, heavy users like myself will find this way outweighed by the battery life gains.
- No NFC and wireless charging.

Somehow we always end up testing the same products.
I have one of these also and am currently on day 2 of the first charge.
I will have a review to post up here in about 2 more days with my opinions of this product.
So far it is looking good for me.

oh boy how ugly ...
is there any 4000mAh or 4500mAh battery ???
because 6000 or 8500 are good in term of battery life but are making the phone look really UGLY

+1 this!
This is why I just bought some Quick Charge chargers... with all my other phones I ALWAYS ended up getting an extended battery, but with the quick charge on this phone, I'm fine! Got 2 quick charging chargers at home, and one in the car. Just throw it on when I'm not using it. This phone charges SO FAST on these chargers that I don't even plug it in at night because it will be on the charger for 7+ hours longer than it should be.

Completely agreed. Anyone with even a modicum of a fashion sense will absolutely stay right the hell away from this.
But hey, it's called a "Business battery" for a reason!
Just keep that sh*t hidden in meetings and you're good to go

MPJ was kind enough to allow me to test out their new 6000mAh Li-ion High Capacity Extended Battery For LG G4.
I have had this battery for about a week now and have been using it every day.
I consistently am able to get two days of use out of it with everything syncing normally and brightness set at 75%.
I went three days one time and had to charge it when I got home from work, so I would say the max I was able to get from this battery was two and a half days.
Charging time for me was about double the time it takes to charge the standard battery, which makes sense as it is double the capacity.
I did however find that my Quickcharge 2.0 charger did seem to charge it slightly faster, but this battery does not claim to be Quickcharge compatible so it may just be that my Quickcharge charger is just a better charger.
I had no issues with heat while charging this battery. It actually seemed to be cooler while charging than the stock battery.
I did find that in my daily use of this battery and case I found it much more enjoyable to use the phone while on a flat surface due to the flatter back of the case.
It removed the normal rocking this phone comes with when set on it's back.
The extended portion also prevents the camera lens from touching any surface when setting the phone down, preventing scratches.
There is some added bulk to this case and that was to be expected as it is double capacity from the standard 3000mAh stock battery.
I however did not notice it in hand much at all due to the well rounded edges of the back cover.
It actually fits rather nicely in hand and was comfortable to use.
The ports on the back cover all line up perfectly. The opening for the volume and power buttons fit so perfect that you would think LG them-self designed this back.
The opening for the speaker is sectioned off so you get better sound coming directly from the speaker through the opening with no distortion from going through the rest of the case.
This is one little thing that sets this case above the others like it.
The only problems I can find with this case is the lack of NFC and the smooth texture of the back they sent me.
They do however sell a textured back cover for this battery for $9.99.
Finally the price of this is perfect at $29.99 with free Prime shipping on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Extended-Batt...821189&sr=8-7&keywords=lg+g4+extended+battery
Pros:
Double capacity battery = double usage!
Comfortable back in hand
No rocking of the device when on it's back
Good charging time
Well made case
Price
Cons:
No NFC (seriously, this could be a deal breaker if you need it, there is no way to add it without some serious modifications)
If you can live without NFC (I can) and you need either more charge in your phone for day-to-day use or just want to make your phone last for more than one day on a charge, I would recommend you purchase this extended battery and back plate.
I would give this 5/5 stars
I will include some pictures so you can see for yourself what this battery is like.
Sorry about the lower quality pictures, I had to use a backup phone to take pictures as my G4 was in them
I will try to answer any questions you may have about this item.
I received this at a discount in exchange for an honest review, this does not change my opinion of the battery in any way.
If this review has helped you at all, please click thanks below to let me know.

Where can I order a more textured back door for the extended battery? The back door in the pictures looks do glossy and flimsy. Someone mentioned one may be available for $9.99?

Just click the back you want from the options.

Im getting 5+ hours screen on time from the stock battery, so 5 hours with 40% left means this is closer to a 4500mah battery labeled at 6000mah. Dirty. Can you confirm your screen on time barely reached 7.5 hours screen on time, and not 10hours?
A 50% boost is not worth making my phone 700% uglier

Each person's screen on time will vary.
You can not compare mine vs yours. (or anyone else)
One person may have an extreme battery saving setup that gives 12 hours screen on time from stock.
While another person could be running always 100% brightness with tons of background apps running always and using tons of battery and only get 2 hours screen on time.
As for your claim about capacity, you should not assume things with no proof.
I have the battery and did a review on it.
It is definitely 6000mAh.
I have a USB voltage detector and it shows you current charge rate and total charge.
It showed me between 5800mAh and 6100mAh every time I charged mine.
Here is a picture of the one that I have so you know what I am talking about.

Nice Review
you review is really nice. But are you sure that this extended battery will to disturb the terminal of board? I am sorry I am little bit confused.

Yes, I am also a bit curious about that.

Looks great ! But to much big .. Will be really great to see a 4000mah or 4500mah with cover a little bit bigger but not like this one
Just bought my G4 there is 3 days and for the moment really good ! :fingers-crossed:

Easy killer. I clearly asked "if" that's what they do - and yes i used my own screen on time of 5 hours as estimate, but only because the last 3 in a row non-MPJ ebay batteries purchased ended up being totally bogus. Literally half capacity.
As it turns out - YOU WERE RIGHT, i bought a pair of 3000mah MPJ replacments for the stock battery, and while the battery discharge graph is very strange and shows charging-sloped-inclines during sleep (5%-10% spikes of battery remaining) you absolutely do get every advertised mah. They last as long as the stock battery.
Thanks for the recommendation

I will just stick to quick charge and 2 batteries. I spend a lot of time on the slopes so I would rather swap batteries then have bulk in my pocket

But by this way you are adding a lot of pressure on your phone charging Circuit and maybe your are shorting its age!
