Anyone selling batteries yet?

Does anyone know where to get standard replacement batteries for these? I always like to carry a spare battery with me but can't seem to find anyone who carries 'em at this point..
Thanks

I ordered one in hopes that it'll be better than the OE...

awesome, I just ordered one also
Thank You!

sprint sells a extended battery 2200 with raised battery cover back.
$69 without shipping / taxes.

Definitely let us know what you can tell from using it. The battery life is one thing I would definitely like to improve on the mogul.

I got mine from Seidio on Monday; not a miracle battery but definitley better life than OEM. If you don't like the hunch-back look and want a second battery this is the way to go. I would extimate that it is giving me roughly 10% better life as they advertise.

OEM HTC Mogul Lithium Ion Extended Battery 2200mAh
Use coupon code to get 15% off: EX0605

or you can order directly from sprint telesales for 49.99

Seidio battery may give a smidge more life; build is pretty poor though, and seems to be made of some paper-like or cardboard/plastic material, covered with not very well-fitting cellophane. If you never remove your battery, may not be an issue, but I suspect this one wouldn't take very many change-outs without getting rather worn. Also seems like it heats up a bit more...

Have anyone buy from here

Their batteries are pretty cheap. Rating from Reseller Rating is quite good too.

I am using 2 of these and they work real nice, very high quality batteries comes sealed in shrink wrap plastic which prevents air and moisture from getting into these batteries that kills it's ultimate capacity. Lasts longer than my original one from sprint... I tried those cheap $10 or less batteries before and their capacity fluctuate wildly, don't get those, these are nice, check out my rating:

So, XDA forum member nvgear bought batteries from eBay seller nv_gear? ... Did you get a discount?

Hi...
I need a couple of new high capacity batteries with a high mAh rating.
Do any of you have info on the best place to buy ?
Id rather purchase from a European vendor but will consider importing worldwide.
TIA.
Regards,
Mark.

i just bought a 3600mAh mugen off ebay. works great my first week using it. i get between a 1.5 and 2 days of usage where previously, i'd be dead by 9pm of day 1.

what size battery is that ?
I forgot to mention that I need a regular sized battery, IE one without a new battery cover.
...so it fits into my case.
If it is regular size, what's the name of the ebay seller ?
TIA.
Mark.

Seem seidio is selling 3200mah batteries now too.

Trying to look for a decent extended battery

Just wondering if anyone bought one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/1X-Gold-420...880538?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416dcac91a or bought a simular battery with higher mah then the stock but keeps the phone the same size. Not looking to put on one of those crazy hulking back covers.
Thanks in advance

Personally had issues with batteries from china/hong kong, also they have been know to lie about size of memory on memory cards and basically just labeling over stock batteries with fake labels. If you were wanting an extend battery I would suggest getting one from a reputable company such as mugen or another name brand company. I highly doubt a battery less than $20 will be any better than the oem. If there were a way for samsung to get a larger mah battery in that size they would have. I think your best bet is either getting another oem battery or purchasing an extended battery with the larger housing. IMO

Mugen is definitely the best battery wise, so if u can find a good case with or without wearing the back cover then I'd go with that if that's in your price range

How about a 2nd OEM battery to swap.

This is what I recommend.
I posted here showing a picture of the Onite extended battery I have and had someone comment on it showing that is wasn't fully snapped on to the back cover, well it was. The picture of the Mugen extended case, as provided in the same thread, has the official picture of the GNote2 with the extended case on it and it blatantly shows it not connect. Check out the thread.

I had great success with anker batteries on my note 1. Lasted as long or longer as the stock battery. Still being used by my son after 10 months of use and getting same duration out of them. Just got the qcell 3800mah extended battery for my wife's skyrocket and she has gone over 2 days on it now. Not sure about the lifespan yet as she has only had it for 2 weeks.

I used the 50% off code listed in the accessories forum to get a battery directly from Samsung for $25. Well spent for piece of mind and two batteries is likely more than I will ever need. Carry one as a spare and rotate them every few days or so.
Not sure of the code is still good.

That's a lie, I've had this battery in my n85, it was worse than the original, and was to be much better.

I have had great experiences with Hyperion and Qcell batteries. My mom is using my old GS3 and she says that the Qcell extended battery is still lasting her 2 days. There is no way that Mugen is 4 times better than either of those batteries. It does have NFC though. When my gs3 was new, no extended batteries had nfc, but they eventually added it. My guess is, in a month or two, Qcell will add nfc to their case. So if you buy one now and one when they add nfc you will have 2 extended batteries for half the cost of the Mugen. As soon as Hyperion comes out with a case for the extended battery, I am going to buy theirs.

True, i forgot abou that. Charger and battery for the sameprice of just the battery.
Also any battery that claims to have much more capacity (3800mAh - 4200mAh or more) in a standard size batter is BS. Everyone dreams of that mythical 5000mAh standard size battery, but it doesn't exist.
Unless I'm going camping for more than 3 days I can't see needing my standard battery with a standard spare.

I got this one from Amazon, And I've been super stoked!
(sorry, I'm too new, it stripped my URL)
The brand is Onite, and it was $24.98
it's a 6500 mAh battery, and cover. I've been wailing on wifi and wireless data all day while streaming pandora Non-Stop to my bluetooth beats, and at 10:42 PM, I still have 48% left.
This is the first phone I've had that I can talk with customers all day, and not have to put it back on the charger once.
A full day with heavy usage, and battery to spare at bedtime? Winner in my book!

Anker or Hyperion 2x 3100mAh - which is better

So, I've been wanting to get a second (and third) battery for my Note II when it arrives. Which of the two are better, though? A lot of people seem to support Anker but it looks like Hyperion are good as well, and seemingly cheaper.
Any advice would be very much appreciated, and thanks

I keep a set of the Anker's that you listed there, in my emergency bag. I based the purchase off their reputation and Vectron's review.

Both are reliable brands, cost the same (Anker w/free shipping, Hyperion with $5 shipping) and I have a feeling they get their batteries from the same source (neither of them manufacturer their own stuff). But I can say with certainty you will get a much better support from Anker and also 18 months extended warranty. Also, I'm not quite sure why Hyperion says "now with NFC" when these are standard slim batteries to use with Note 2 original battery cover that has NFC antenna built-in (no need for anything built into a battery).

Thanks as well! Yeah, it's the S3 that has the NFC chip built into the battery, isn't it?
I'd like to ask also - how is the Anker wall charger? Like, how long does it take to charge from the wall?

Their wall charger is 600mA which is probably the highest you can get in that type of charger. At least I haven't seen any wall battery chargers or universal wall battery chargers at 1A or higher.

Gah. So it sounds like you pretty much have to charge it overnight, then? Or save time and charge it in the phone?
Also I'd like to ask one other question of you - do the Seidio Vitreo screen protector and Otterbox Commuter go well together? Any problems with fitting, etc?

Any batteries in the 3800-4500mAh range?

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.

After trying some chinese battery cases, i feel like chinese lie about mah values. I used a 6500 mah case before returning it as I only got 1.5 x charge with it. Was totally not worth the bulk.
Considering the mophie case is 2950 mah, would it even fully charge the note 8 once? I've never used mophie so maybe their battery claim can actually charge one full battery?
Also, would samsung pay work with the mophie case?

No because the Note 8 has 3300mah. Also when its being used its going to deplete at the same time. Its a good boost but very expensive. The chargeforce system however is really cool if you're already in the ecosystem.

its actually a good price, but mah not a lot
and when the mophie pack charges, it doesn't quick charge right?

Seems like it was a limited production release for the note 8 mophie juice pack. I ordered the same day I was notified, and back ordered for a month.

Some of the less reputable ones might lie but you're not going to get 10000mah out of a 10000mah pack even with a legit samsung power bank.

Magnetic issue.
Can anyone whose getting the juice pack or charge force confirm whether or not the magnets mess with the stylus, the other similar cases (i-blade) has issues caused by the magnet. It causes the stylus to not be able to draw properly (I have it on my note 10.1 when i used a case with a magnetic latch).
