Say a battery is advertised @ 1300mah, how close will the actual value be to the advertised value? Im asking this because a 'premium' 1400mah battery is significantly more expensive, but how do you know your getting what youve paid for?

you have a nexus one? cause that comes with a 1400mAh battery. usually they are +/- 50mAh or so. my nokia n97 came with a 1350 mAh battery, but actually battery was 1290mah. the nexus has been said to have a 1360mAh battery for some. each battery is slightly different. read the huge battery testing thread.
Hi
I was just looking for bigger battery for my 540 and cant find anything apart of this w*w.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-1800mah-extended-battery-for-lggm750-gt540-optimus-gw620-gw820-gw880-gw825v-p500-optimus-one-gx200-gx500.html#

1800mAh isn't much different from 1500mAh
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Battery-Li-...HVYM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294271114&sr=8-1
not sure what mAh it is but it says ultra high capacity on it.

mAh = milliAmp hours
IANAEE (electronic engineer) but basically it is a measure of how much energy can be stored within the battery. Think of the number as a measure of how long the battery would run for at a constant draining current of 1mA *or* how quickly you'd have to take power from the battery to drain it completely in one hour.
In other words, using the example above, an 1800mAh battery would last ~20% longer than a 1500mAh.
If your battery would normally last 10 hours, it would now last 12 hours.
As for the original question of info on it / whether this qualifies as 'ultra-high capacity' you'll need to ask someone more familiar with batteries than I am
So has anyone got any experience with the extended battery? Worth the punt?

Please write some info about that 1800mah batt..

I'm really interested!
1800mAh won't probably make that much of a difference for Optimus. Optimus has one of the largest batteries for a phone of its kind. 1500mAh itself is pretty high capacity.
I really don't think the extra 45$ is worth the extra 300mAh. You are better off buying an external portable charger. They run at around 20-30$. You could probably get an excellent one for 45$.
For example, this one here,
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP...8PTS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307017732&sr=8-1 has a 5000mAh battery.
Just get any portable USB charger.
What do you think about this battery: 2430MAH HIGH CAPACITY GOLD BATTERY FOR LG GT540 (look for it at ebay)
Is it even possible to have that much mAh?
Edit: Just look at the user rating, and this battery seems to be fake. The stock battery is better.
That must be fake. The highest capacity I have seen is 1800mAh but it's only 300mAh higher than the stock.

the battery is a misterius
I have seen this type of batteries that have a range of longer duration but there are many contradictions if it is good or not, is made in japan maybe that's a plus I'm wanting to buy a battery because the stock I have been short
Hi folks,
I just got a new battery for my nexus s from the prunedanish at ebay but it turned out to be 1440mah. My original battery is 1500mah. However other than that they look exactly the same. Will I give away battery life by using 1440mah ?
Thanks
I have the same battery. I don't notice a difference. Both give me a 24 daily use cycle once I got them conditioned.
I'd feel that the difference would be marginal.
Once you factor in some slight battery degradation and manufacturer tolerances, they would be virtually the same.
I'm also believe that difference woll be unnoticable. Still does anyone know where I can buy oem 1500mah nexus battery without paying 20bucks thoruh samsungs site ?
Like title says.. I've been trying to find a extended battery which has higher capacity yet the size of the original battery but no luck
Does anyone know if there is one and where to fine one
Thanks

are you sure that's even possible ? unless the battery was made of some other kind of materials, I have tyrouble seeing how you could store more power in the same battery size.
If you don't want a bigger phone, Your best bet would probably be to buy a second standard battery but it's a hassle to swap the battery when it's empty
If the battery is the same size it could in theory have more juice but it would be negligible. Seriously though, I picked up a charging cradle with battery charging slot and 2 spare batteries for $20. I also have a car charger and 3 chargers in my house. Unless you get a battery that is about double the size, you won't see a big difference and even then many batteries don't live up to their specs. Chargers and spare batteries are cheap. We're not dealing with smartphones of a decade ago where everything was proprietary and would cost at least $30 a pop.

I remember reading something about this... I think it might have even been on this forum but it was something along the lines of "Don't you think, if it were possible to fit more juice into the same size battery, that samsung wouldn't do that with their OEM batteries?"
Samsung, and I'm sure many other major device manufacturers don't just buy a battery off ebay and throw it in their phones. they spend time and money researching better battery technologies to get the best power/life they can.
It's my second day with an Andida 1850mAh battery, no big changes yet compared to my 8 month old 1500mAh OEM battery, i'll post back after a few complete drain and charge cycles.

Be careful buying those batteries. More often than not they just repackage 1500 batteries and Mark up the price :/

After 3 complete charge cycle its a little bit better than OEM but no big improvement. I'll see in a few more days.
I finally get about 15% better battery life. For the 20$ it cost me, I'm happy.

How long have you had the battery? I'm looking for a new one as well but not if I am going to get scammed. Thanks!
Not Nexus related, but I have a vibrant that I got the Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch battery for recently. Battery life went from about 6 hours to dead (month old 1500 mAh replacement battery bought at a phone hut) to 34 hours to dead (new samsung 1800mAh battery.) Nothing else changed.
My point is this:
1. If the above statements about samsung packing in as much as possible are true, why didn't the vibrant have a 1800mAh battery from the start? (hint, it is always about money.)
2. Take a crap 1500 mAh battery, slap a 1800 mAh sticker on it. People that buy these batteries will see an improvement because most generally they are replacing a worn out battery with a new one. Of course you will see an improvement, your worn out stock battery has only (arbitrary number) 600 mAh worth of usefulness left. The replacement is new and is not worn yet. (All arbitrary numbers follow) So, you will still see an improvement if you take a rated 1500mAh battery, that is labeled 1800mAh, but is in actuality only 1000mAh.
So asking if there is another, bigger, better battery for the Nexus made by Samsung, is a very valid question. So:

Yes it is possible. Search the Vibrant, and Fascinate/Mezmerize forum for examples.
Its about 6-7 days old, bought it on EBAY from this place:

Because it is a device from 2 years ago (2010) and the S2 is from q3 2011. Maybe two years allowed them to cram more juice into the battery.
Maybe it wasn't viable then, to stick such a large battery, considering the power consumption of the vibrant compared to the S2. Maybe if they did the price would have gone up.
I highly doubt that Samsung would just stick different stickers on the same capacity batteries. maybe you had a defective or a non-original one. There are people that measure this kind of stuff. How much damage would Samsung's image suffer if someone found out that they sell a 1000 mAh battery with different labels and price tags?

i don't know about it holding 2430mah, but it's far better than my 1 year old stock battery. i can post some battery usage stats later.

"Take a crap 1500 mAh battery" In this case "crap"="non oem"
I figured that would be obvious with my prior "phone hut" comment. I guess not.
----------------
I am a big fan of the OEM batteries. I have not tested a non-oem battery that will perform anywhere close to the stated specifications so far.
If you guys find some good battery reviews, tests, etc. please post up.
Keep in mind that comparing a brand new "Craptastic Brand™" battery to your old worn out OEM battery is kind of pointless for getting a feel of the comparative quality/capacity of a battery.

yes, it works properly. I had used my original battery for 12 months when I switched over to this one. The improvement was very noticeable.
I just charged my phone to 99%, I will report back in 24 hours with battery information and battery history since unplugged.
Sounds great!
I will be buying a Samsung Galaxy Note this week.
I believe it comes with a 2,500 mAh battery.
Whilst that is fine, I'll also buy a second battery as a spare/backup.
You can pick up a third-party 5,000 mAh battery for £11.50 on Amazon (or £15.00 for one with a cover with a kickstand)
Any thoughts on such batteries?
If you guys think they're fine, I may even use Samsung's 2,500 mAh battery as the spare/backup.

If people want a high capacity battery, the only way to go is to purchase MUGEN extented batteries - Do not consider anything else if you want stamina for your Note.

They charge £55.80 for a 5,400 mAh battery and £27.88 for a 2,650 mAh battery. Do they think I'm a mug?
This has many fine reviews on Amazon and it's only £11.49. I don't mind if it's not 5000 mAh as advertised. For that price, I'll be happy for it to be 3,500 mAh - would still be more than the included 2,500 mAh battery.
I'd rather buy a battery bank to use it on the OCM. That's me, but everybody got his/her own preferences.

I have quite often bought batteries, no one surpasses the orig one.
