Hey guys, I've been looking at extended batteries for the myTouch 3g, and I just found one on ebay. Does it seem like a good and reliable one? It says it is 3.7V Li-ion 2100mAH, but to tell you the truth, I don't really know what that means. It also comes with a cover. Will it add a ton of thickness to my phone, and do you know if the case around my myTouch will still fit?

Thanks.
Regarding your battery
Hello!
Here's my opinion on your battery.
The original battery inside your phone now is 1340mAh (milliamp hours).
The one you're looking at is 2100mAh, which for you would be a 56.71% increase in battery life.
The upside:
Ridiculous battery life
The downside:
1970's soviet era technology backing for your phone (it's terrible looking).
No accessories skins/acrylics would really accommodate your phone. You'd have to rely on a universal-type side holster.
The battery is off-brand and ships from China, the quality of these cells are unknown, and who knows how old.
Perhaps try reputable battery brands such as "Seidio" or "Mugen"
I recently purchased a Seidio 1500mAh slim profile battery, which gives me an 11.94% increase in power, whilst allowing me to keep my current backing on with NO increase in device thickness.
Couple this with some operating system tweaks and or a new rom specifically made for battery improvements and you should really enjoy from then on in.
Good Luck!
Anyone tried this?

Yeah, battery is good but the cover(door) will not snap on the HD2.
There is missing a little cam inside the cover....got two covers from my dealer (BatteryUpgrade.com) but both with the same issue.
Can someone else confirm? Because I have another battery door from a Chinese battery thats snaps on perfect.
I just want to make sure this battery doesn't have the discharge problems that a lot of cheap Chinese battery seems to have.
Has anyone bought a higher capacity battery and found it to be good?
I've seen some 1500mAH batteries very cheap but have seen people reviewing them saying they are don't last as long as the 1230mAH HTC battery due to being bad quality.
Is there a good quality 1500 (or higher) capacity battery around - one that doesn't make the phone fat and ugly?
+1
I would also like to know this. When I had a Vibrant 3g, I was able to buy an oem vibrant 4g battery for $20 and it was 150 maH bigger, but same physical size and voltage. Worked great. I know there are extended batteries, but they are usually bulky. I have found that aftermarket slim extended batteries are worthless, and often perform less than the stock one. I even bought a mugen slim extended battery for my Mytouch 4g and at first it was phenominal. But within the first 4 full cycles, it was performing at 60% what my stock battery did. I reconditioned it, reflashed the rom from a full charge, etc. Surprised me, cuz mugen gets a lot of good reviews. Best bet is to get a power skin, or get a bulky extended battery. Power skin is bulky, but it's a uniform bulkiness, so not as awkward as the bulge of a standard extended battery. Hope this helps.
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 ?

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. :/
Edit: This might be something? 2500mah: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2500mAh-Rep...040?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27d5bb3b98
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.

You have more than one replacement back covers with NFC built-in? Can you post some pics and where you got them?

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.

Can you link the onite battery you mentioned? and any suggestions to a battery that doesn't require larger back cover?

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
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-4800mAh...&qid=1379867665&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+p880+onite
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!

Hi
I'm having trouble with my phone's battery life. I googled today and found 4000 mAh with back cover http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-4000mAh-Extended-Battery-with-Cover-for-Samsung-Galaxy-ACE2-GT-i8160-Phone-/290957031326 , but didn't found any user reviews.
Also i found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2800mAh-High-Capacity-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S3mini-i8190-ACE2-i8160-/151537348944 and i like it more (because it uses original back cover), but it looks quite thin for 2800 mAh battery
Anyone has experience with this or something similar?
Does it have power for a long time or loose it after month of usage?
I mean, if any of those have more power than OEM battery, it is worth of investment
Thanks in advance
Soko
