Hi all,
Just wanted to share my experience with people who may be considering an extended battery for their 6800. I recently decided to take the plunge on the super-extended battery after ditching my home phone and going cell only. Between the email checking, web surfing, texting and phone calling, the stock battery wasn't even lasting a day before crapping out. I attribute some of that to the fact that I have very weak signal in my office so often times while at work my data connection will drop and reconnect.
So early this past week my battery arrived. Install was cake as expected, though the battery door doesn't fit perfectly. It is just slightly raised in the middle.. hardly noticeable, but there. Seems like the hole for the white camera flash LED isn't quite big enough to fit around the element, too. I was initially worried about the extended backing being an annoyance, but after a week of heavy use, I've found the phone is MORE comfortable to hold, albeit slightly heavier (which I've never minded at all). With the battery on, it feels to be about the same weight as my old Treo 650 (god I HATED that phone LOL).
Ok so here are my typical settings :
Bluetooth : Off
Wifi : Off
GPS : Can't use it yet.. to chicken to install custom ROM
Email : 2 accounts, one set to check for mail every 15 mins, the other every 4 hours.
Backlight : 60%
Auto-Off : 2 minutes (screen and sleep mode)
Data Connection : 24/7
Software Running Full-Time : SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, SPB Diary today plugin, VITO SMS-Chat, Personalizer
I am a very heavy text and picture mail user and do a fair bit of web-surfing. Voice usage is light to moderate.
This past Thursday evening I decided to try to see how long it stretched from full charge to zero. I plugged the phone in to the wall charger and charged it up to 100% (around 6pm). With my normal usage pattern, and without plugging it into a PC to sync (so no short recharges), I was at 30% by 10pm on Saturday night. In an effort to kill it so I could recharge overnight, I used media player to loop a few full-screen WMV videos as well as turning on Bluetooth and WiFi. The bastard was resilient, though. At midnight, I still had 5% charge and "very low battery" warnings. To kill it the rest of the way, I surfed around the web for a bit.. it officially keeled over at 12:23am.
So my first official test of the super-extended battery netted me approximately 54.5 hours of "normal" usage with the afore listed settings which includes a couple hardcore hours of me making an effort to take it from 30% to zero. Having not intentionally killed it, I'm sure it would have lasted much longer.
In conclusion, I'm extremely pleased with the Seidio 3500mAh battery. It certainly delivers on it's promises. Thankfully I've never been bothered by a bulky or slightly heavy phone, so the extra weight isn't a factor for me. If anyone is on the fence about buying one, I would say go for it. If you're a heavy phone user you will really appreciate the extra juice
Oh yeah, one more thing, the extended battery does stick out enough to make the phone ALMOST too big for my leather bag/case thing. It was a universal leatherette belt-pouch with the magnetic click locks on it. The phone still fits but it's a super tight squeeze so I whipped out my much-loathed VZW rubberized holster for the time being. I have a Seidio spring loaded holster on order, hopefully it will be here tomorrow or Tuesday.
Just wondering if the spring loaded holster fit with the extended battery?

I think I read on the actual site that it does. I velieve I was reading the ext. battery product info. I have the Seido black rubberized case and the spring holster and was thinking of upgrading as well.
Hopefully, themirthfulswami will inform us soon.
I second that experience - best change I've made to my mogul.
Before using the battery, it was a race to see if the battery died before the end of the day. Now I can miss a night or even two of charging and it doesn't even matter.
A word of warning: The mogul is already decently large. Adding the extended battery pushes it to the edge of being useful in one handed operation. Not that it isn't, you just have to learn to hold it slightly differently.
Hello
I have tried few 3000mAh batteries and they perform great. i get to use my Titan for 4 days without charging... If anyone is interested I can get them for you for 35$ with back door included...
Who do I need to send the money to get the extended battery?
So I noticed the original person never got back to completing the review. So here's my two cents:
I'm generally a heavy phone user, especially with texts, emails and web surfing due to job reqs. Here's my typical settings:
WiFi- off
Bluetooth- off (on roughly 1 or 2 hrs max a day)
Brightness- 100%
Email: 2 accounts, 1 checking every 5 minutes (Yea, I actually need it) and the other receiving emails as they arrive (meaning I get them immediately upon receiving)
Auto off: 1 minute
Data Connection: On at all times
Software Running: Just switched to Manilla 2D- definitely a cool program to check out, SPB Pocket Plus (no today plugin)- using it to flick through IE
Texting: I don't know how many I text/day but I've hit 3000 in a month
Talk times: light to moderate
So I've never actually drained the extended battery to nothing, since I'm still used to charging it on a daily basis. I generally start my day off at 6 in the morning, its now 2:00 at night and the meter shows 50%. So typically speaking this thing beats the original battery by a lot. I won't charge tonight and see how well the battery does tomorrow. Along with the battery, I also got the extended battery case which fits snuggly and also covers that "middle lift up" the original person had a problem with (I guess its a problem with all the battery doors). I also have the spring holster- which fits both regular and extended battery phones.
As for how well the battery will stand up to my rigorous usage- I'll update you all once I'm through with tomorrow
big batteries need a fast charger
I put my 3600mAh Mugen in the charger at 10pm and remove it at 6am. If I try to it with the standard XV6800 charger (250mAh/hour), it won't charge all the way. Instead I use the 450mAh charger that I bought on eBay to charge the Mugen outside of the phone. Except I don't remove the battery from the phone; the 450mAh charger uses a standard USB cable, so I simply plug the cable directly into the phone.

As to that, I haven't had any problem charging the battery up to full using a regular charger. I generally plug it in probably 12 or 1 pm and unplug it at 6 or so. Then again, I never fully drain my battery.
As to the "review" that I had going yesterday, I am currently at 20% after 38 hours of use. I'm guessing this 20% will last several hours more since it was on 30% for several hours before
I just got one of these battery. When i plug into the charger the charging lite just blinks. Left it like this over night and still blinking.
Does this on 3 chargers:
1 - 5.5 V @ 1.0 A
2 - 5.4 V @ 2400 mA
3 - 5 V @ 850 mA
Any help ?

Hm..are you using the charger that came with your device? If that doesn't work..its most probably due to the battery. Seidio has a warranty on the batteries they sell
Email them first and ask what you should do, you most probably will have to ship it back if anything
Leaving the battery out of the phone for a minute or so when changing has seemed to fixed my problem of charging the 3500mAh Seidio battery.
Glad to hear it! Enjoy the crazy long lasting battery life we've never had before with the stock ones!
I actually bought this battery off of someone used for 3 months. Life is way better than my original battery. My original was real funny. If i'm doing nothing, it would last a few hours with extremely basic functions including screen off for majority of time. If I was to make a phone call, battery would die literally after 10-15 minutes of constant speakerphone talking, even from a full charge. Pissed me off, I use my phone for many things and sh*tty battery limited me heavily.
After installing this new battery, I am using my phone for everything again. Slingbox, navi, bluetooth music listening, web surfing and ofcourse phone calls.
I am able to keep my phone off of charge for up to 2 days with heavy use. I work out everyday or try to and I watch tv through slingbox on my phone with Jabra BT620 bluetooth head phones. Thats a lot of drainage. Yet phone still does well with 2 days of use and no charge needed. I have emails set to come in every 5 minutes as well.
Here is one major issue this battery has presented to my phone when I originally got it but doesnt happen all the time. The beauty of our phones is that they are real easy to open and close. Real smooth. But can close very fast. First few times I closed it, it slams so hard I guess that the battery gets knocked out of place. I have to remove the battery completely and put it back in to start my phone up again. Very annoying but tested a few times and it doesnt seem to happen all the time. It has happened to me maybe 3 times since I got battery (almost a week) but it happened maybe 2 times on the first day.
It depends on how hard you do it. As I was typing this, i tested it a few times. Opened and closed pretty hard like 4 times in a row with no issues. 5th time, I did it harder than I normally would and it happened again. Aside from this, very happy with battery.
hm, never had that problem you had. But in general- lets agree, the battery is a lifesaver for any powerhouse user
Ok, so the battery is great, but what about Seidio's customer service? Here's what happened when I ordered the battery, along with a charger, hard case, and a few other accessories...
"Dear [my name here],
Please refuse the package for the carrier. The order arrived to your address belongs to another customer. Please contact customer service at 832-204-1118 for any questions.
Once we received the package, we will reship your order ASAP.
Regards,
Seidio Customer Service"
I paid for 2 day FedEx delivery, yet they want me to refuse delivery, and then they won't even send the right stuff out until they get the wrong stuff back? My wife needs the battery for an upcoming business trip. She can barely use her phone today because the current battery doesn't even last a single day anymore. Besides, I didn't get this e-mail until yesterday on the way home from work, and the package was on my front porch when I got home.
Of course, customer service was closed for the night, so I replied asking that my correct items be shipped out in an expedited fashion and offered to return the incorrect package however they wanted me to. I'll follow up today with customer service once they open as well. Wish me luck!
Here's an update to my Seidio shipping issue. Apparently someone else with my same first name placed an order at the same time, and somehow ours got switched. When I called this morning, the person I spoke with said the same thing as the e-mail, that I would have to return the package and then they would ship the right one once they received the wrong one.
Since we really needed the extended battery, I went ahead and placed a second identical order and chose next day shipping. Then I called them back to cancel the original, but to my surprise the person who answered knew of my situation immediately and we came to the following agreement. I would return the package I received, and at that point they would refund my original purchase price plus the cost of the next day shipping, meaning I am still paying 2nd day shipping for something that will have taken over a week to arrive. But hey, at least I'll finally have it, and my wife will be able to use the extended battery on her business trip.
that's good news, seidio doesn't seem like they'll have bad customer service, its a great battery tho with the case it is somewhat of a brick haha..hope you enjoy the new extended life of it!
I was going through amazon and was checking out this battery, does anyone own it? I'm kinda hesitated with no reviews or feedback but it looks amazing

I'm Testing Them Now
I got two 1800 mAh batteries and a wall charger from Amazon. I have deep cycled one of the batteries so far, but I need to run some more cycles. Also, I need to put the original battery back in and time it to see how much more, if any, I am getting from the replacement batteries. I will try to report back in a few days with better data.
As for the charger, it can charge the battery directly, outside of the phone. And it has a USB port for charging the battery in the phone. So if you swap out a dead battery, it can be charging while you are using the spare battery in the phone. The charger is small and can easily be carried in a bag or briefcase.
Awesome. For 17 bucks I'll try it out.
I got the SaFPWR Fusion 2 case with the 1800 MhA battery. It works great, I run off of the case's battery all day, and sometimes it runs out and switches to my phone's battery around 10 at nite. Lasts me all day, even using Pandora, internet, e-mail, textes, etc.
Pretty pricey, but it's a case and extra battery, so I just looked at it like if I got and paid for both.
Plus, it has a year warranty, so I can just go in and get a new one before the year is up.
Case makes the phone a bit heavey, but I don't mind, feels like it gives it a more solid feel.
I've ordered the two 1800 mah batteries plus this so i should be set for the life of the phone which is till the edge comes out, this stock battery is pathetic, the amaze has a 1820 mah and its not even lte

I would go with one of these 1700mAh or 3400mAh from Mugen.
1800 mAh batteries not any better, for me anyway

After running one of the 1800 mAh batteries through 4 full discharge/cycles, I got 20-40 hours per cycle. (Note, my usage pattern is probably less than most folks.) However, after running the 1650 mAh battery that came with the phone through 5 full sycles, I got about 48 hours each time, except for one where I got 24 hours with much heavier (for me) use.
So, I think I can say that the 1800 mAh batteries don't really provide significantly more power. They are the same size as the 1650 mAh battery.
The main benefit is simply having a spare battery in an emergency. Also, the charger can charge the battery while out of the phone.
PS: At night, I will put the phone in Airplane mode. It uses little power while I am sleeping, extending the battery time.
:>;
Requires too many permissions. What's with "access to power" all about anyway. Besides that I looked closer and see that it does not include either a screw driver or adhesive. Are they insane?

This item does not include screwdriver or adhesive. If you want the screwdriver, you need to buy this item:url-link
Joking aside I sweated buying a cheap 3400 battery for my EVO and it was the smartest thing I've done. Worked(s) great. I will give my new Vivid a month to break in but likely buy this one and risk the $16
I don't get why you would need a screw driver I put the battery in today and the cover slid on just like the regular cover does

I signed up because of this thread. Its great to find others that have tried this. I have posted some of this on other sites..
I bought the 3600mAh from ebay for about 13 bucks. Popped it in and it was at 75%. I used Battery dr. app to see what usage time are compared to stock. Even at 75% it should have been more then what the stock batt had.... but it didnt.
Anyway, I thought it was a cheap chinese battery and just left it in the phone and charged it over night. I thought it was a wash and didnt thinking about it till later that day.. After it was charged the wife used it a little and hours passed. When I picked up the phone it was still showing 100% so I re-charged it just in case and ran it through a test.
Turned wifi on
Bluetooh on
sound at max
ran a long netflix move 2H:30min+
then did it again
and again.. haha
Anyway I didnt finish the 3rd time around, but it looks like I can get with all that **** on about 7 1/2 hours of netflex. Hell without wifi and bluetooth that might be over 8-9 hours..
I have not tested the stock one, but I dont think it will last that long. Which leaves me to think for some reason the Battery dr. app or something is not really forecasting the right amount of talk/video time. Also I ran Nav for over an hour the phone was warm and Battery Dr. showed the same temp all the time. maybe there is another app to try.. or maybe there is something in the battery that gives the phone info..
Well I'm still averaging around 27 hours so for $15 I think this is the best battery I've owned

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
the bump isn't really that small, its about 860mah more than stock battery...but i dont think it actually is that, I've seen 4000+ same size but it does not state that the battery has a longer discharge time compared to the stock one...so idk
If you do buy it, please post a review of it
It does state in the description that you do not need a special back cover.

There was a huge debate about batteries and stock covers with the EVO 3D and i remember that there were many 2500 mah batteries that only said that on the sticker and were actually around 1400 mah batteries. you have to pull the sticker off to see what the actual rating is or do some sort of test. If this is a true stock sized 800 mah boost batterie I would buy one right away! if someone can find out that would be awesome and if its a piece of crap let us all know too.
+1; 4k mah with stock door would be wonderful..

lol peeled off the cover like you asked and sure enough it has 3100mah printed on it. I Can't really complain as it was a cheaper than a stock battery and got a free spare charger too
Never buy a gold battery thinking it's what it is. The only problem is that you are risking putting a battery that was labeled wrong in a very expensive unit. Just charge the battery outside of the phone so there isn't a risk of damaging anything.

I received my Acesoft 3960 Extended Battery for my Galaxy Note 2 on this Thursday from Amazon. It shipped pretty fast from Cali and looks and feels pretty solid. I comes with no charge so I charged it for about 8 hours. I also use a battery monitor from Google Play to correctly monitor after market/extended batteries cause the stock reader won't read it correctly. I put the 3960 in and took it off the charger at 7:30 am Friday morning. I had my Note 2 on all day. I played music, fb, tweeter, instagram on, emails, text messages, phone calls, web searches and all. At 7:30 pm, I still had 34% battery power left from the 3960. That's 12 hours plus on the first use of the battery. I will order a second on for back up. I recommend this battery.
how many screen on hours did u use have you got screen shots plz

It is fake. The only guy with a positive comment/experience about it registered on XDA at the time of making his one and only post to promote the battery he is selling, and never posted in this forum again.
Since the last post has anyone decided to bite the bullet and buy this battery from amazon? It does have three positive reviews on amazon but no one gives actual run times or posts. On a normal day I am an extreme battery hog, running bluetooth media, pandora, fb, and such I get about 10-12 hours out of my stock battery. I would love 16 hours. I'll have to remember to run betterbatterystats tomorrow and get you all accurate run times on stock. And will do again if I finally decide to get this battery. If anyone has this battery can you give accurate times from battery settings?
Thanks all!
Exact battery I'm wondering about with some reviews on it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AV4ZMGM?vs=1
Received both the anker and Hyperion 6200mah batteries yesterday. I purchased both from Amazon for about 20.00 a piece including shipping. I decided to test both of these before jumping into the 106.00 mugen 6400. I have an otter box defender case that I moved like in the other thread with the mugen battery. I did the initial twelve hour charge on the anker and took it off of charge and put it in the phone at 9am this morning and used wifi and 4G both throughout the day so far and have not been heavily using the phone too intensively, just as I usually do while I'm at work so it will be rating the battery for how I usually will be using it. It is now 3:30pm and I have done a little Web browsing on 4G and have been updating Facebook and testing all day and am currently at 92%. So far so good I guess I am running beans build 6 with the perseus kernel with the performance profile from the stweaks guide that's in one of the forums on here. My screen brightness is at about 75%. I will continue to update as I break the battery in. Received the Hyperion night before last and charged it in my phone for twelve hours and I gave it a much harder test yesterday. I had the brightness maxed and had the phone on pretty much all day long from about 10am browsing over wifi, playing a ton of games and texting constantly, made 4 or 5 calls and was trying my hardest to drain that battery and with all of that, I finally got it down to 15% by 1:30am. Looks like I might not spend the extra on the mugen and just switch between these two every few days. Will keep updating as I break them in seeing as how these are just the initial charges and they are supposed to hit full capacity after 4-5 full charge/discharge cycles.
Hey where's the guide for the stweaks performance guide?

I upped the voltages a step or two from the ones listed to make sure I don't get any crashes. The performance settings are in the second post down. The first is for battery life I guess, I was getting a lot of lag when scrolling screens and in general so I used the performance ones in the second post with slightly higher voltages.

Can you link me to the anker? I'm guessing the anker you have isn't officially an anker battery since I don't see it on the Web Site

Looks real to me. Amazon is where I got it. It's definitely real.

I'm waiting on my Hyperion to come in. I am going to mod my Otterbox defender so it will fit. Any tips?
I am planning on ordering one of these. Not the Mugen. I do have three questions for you:
1) Both covers are different right? I like the look of the Anker battery better.
2) Does the phone get hot at all?
3) What do you use to charge the battery before placing on it into the phone. Official Samsung charging system or one from Amazon?
TIA
I charged mine in the phone. It came in at 59%. No troubles at all . Once hit full. Reset battery stats. And went to town.

Just got my Anker. Fits great in my Sweet Armor case. Will be testing it the next week or so.

hello
My:laugh::good: battery came in Friday night at 59 percent it lasted 24 hours with everything cut on. I had 2 gmail accounts syncing and Outlook also Facebook which we all know drains battery. I was playing Temple Run 2 with the settings turned up. Flipboard was in frequent use all said I think that this battery is excellent. p.s. it really does take around 12 hours to charge it from 0 that is not a joke.
OK, second charge with the Hyperion with normal use, I have had my phone on for 52hours and am still at 16 percent battery. I'd say 3 days isn't too bad for 20.00. Again this is only the second charge so it may get even better.I can't post screens because I have switched ROMs twice during the three days its been on battery. I'm sticking to this ROM for my next charge cycle so I will actually be able to post accurate screens of usage. I am on the root box ROM now so if you are on beans you would probably get even better battery than I am. Will keep updating.
Here's my 3rd charge on my anker
Now I have a op in general for this battery with tons of pics throughout its use. It's quite detailed. Please look over in general section for more comparisons. I feel the anker is the best I've tested. I've done the 6500 ebay specials have 3 of those. And one of the 7600 ones and there the same as the 6500 ones.

I am looking to buy one of the extended batteries, but none of the sellers on Amazon ship to Australia. Anyone knows of any alternatives, short of using a mail forwarder? I am not very fond of buying the Chinese ones on eBay.
I was using anker extended battery on my s3 and it was perfect. Unfortunately anker/hyperion batteries for note 2 are not available in Uk. I have tried one unbrand from ebay....but it was completely sh%&% $.
So, anyone know where I can buy one of them from Uk ?
Anker battery only comes with the white back cover, correct? i have the gray Note 2, so it would prolly look goofy with a white back...

I have it and I must say it does. I've been meaning to do what others here have, which is use some vinyl to change the white to whatever other color I want.
My battery life isn't what it used to be, even after a factory reset. Any recommendations where I can find a genuine Samsung battery? Too many of the batteries I've found online are a bit questionable...
Go to amazon and buy the battery via amazon directly. Costs about 18$.
You can try samsung.com
Buy it direct.
MUST order from samsung official website if u want genuine battery . it's only $25 .Even samsung stores don't sell genuine batteries.

I have had good luck with Anker replacement batteries. I recently bought an official Samsung battery from the Samsung website. I get about 4.5-5 hours of screen on time over 24-30 hours. My recent warranty replacement Anker batteries (swelling issue with my old batteries) I also get about 4.5-5 hours of screen on time over 24-30 hours.

+1 for Anker. I just bought one to replace my original battery and it is a great replacement. Runs about $15-16 on amazon.
These are the best after market batteries I have come across and they're also very cheap.

They last as long as my official battery and I use them all regularly.
