I'm curious if anyone's used the "higher" Mah batteries from e-bay and if you actually do get more battery life.
My experience with aftermarket batteries has been hit and miss.
My HTC Hero ran great with no problems, long battery life
But...
My Motorola Milestone, and HTC HD2 ate up aftermarket batteries in less than 8 hours with minimal usage. I had to go back to using the OEM one
bump... so everyone's just sticking w/the OEM batteries? I've been looking at this one.

ohhh.. that's dissapointing.
Oh well, I'm usually by a computer all day long anyways. Life goes on
Never used that battery but I have 2 1500mah ebay batteries and both last just as long as the samsung battery.

I was looking through ebay for a new battery for my thunderbolt and there were some extended batteries that were 3500mah for around $12. I was just wondering if these batteries are any good or safe to use because it just seems too good to be true.

I was wondering that too. I saw some on ebay where they had TWO 3500 mAh batteries for like $20 or something.
It's unlikely that they're close to the claimed capacity, but they're cheap enough to try.

I can answer this! I got the same 3500mAH battery off Ebay.. Is it safe? Yes, my Thunderbolt worked fine with it, but as far as it being good - well, you get what you pay for. I have the HTC 2750mAH battery and it lasts much better than the aftermarket one you're talking about. If you're looking for a decent extended battery that's still pretty inexpensive, there is one made by Yobado that's 2800mAH. I haven't tried it for my Thunderbolt, but I had a Droid X with a Yobado extended battery, and it actually worked pretty well.
I haven't tried one but do your research, some aftermarket on eBay work, i bought an extended galilo slim no added bulk battery for my evo 2000 mah and it def lasted longer than stock, i doubt it was really 2000 but an improvement and 2 for 15 dollars with a battery charger

just ordered a thunderbolt and will be looking for extra stock batteries (don't want the added thickness) and a dock which will charge them. I'm guessing 1 extra battery will probably get me through the day at work.
Anyone seen them?
edit:
something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/1500mAh-Quality-Battery-Wireless-ThunderBolt/dp/B004T19WAA
charges phone and extra battery at the same time.
I've had my Vibrant for a little over a year and I'd like to get a new battery for it. I saw someone say there were 1600 and 1700 mah batteries that fit over the stocking housing for our Vibrants. I'd really like to pick up one of those if possible.
Any recommendations? Preferably off of amazon.com
I've bought several batteries off amazon and I find the stock oem batteries to be the best

eBay is probably your best bet for getting them cheap, but Shortbus is right, the OEM batteries seen to be the most consistent and reliable. I'm running the Mugen 1700mAh replacement for the i9000, and I don't feel like I'm getting any significant amount of extra time out of it, its just a pain in my arse to charge it (takes almost 50% longer than OEM to charge, and actually loses charge if I use the phone while its plugged in). If you can locate the OEM Samsung 1650mAh batteries, I would go with that, but they're hard to find.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
Thanks for the advise guys. Gonna look high and low for a 1650 oem.
Hey guys, I've looked around a bit at all the different batteries but I'd like your suggestions! I'm thinking about the Anker 1900mah. I'd really like one that fits in the stock case and is higher than the stock battery.
Thanks a lot
We purchased the 1900mAh batteries for our 2 Evo 3Ds in August and couldn't be happier. You get about 15-20% more capacity, which is nice. The Anker & Chichitec batteries seemed to be the best at matching the claimed mAh rating according to some lengthy threads on XDA about 8 months ago.
+1 on the chichitech and i've heard good thing about Anker
My recent testing show that my chichitec after about 6 months of daily use, to still be about 1800mah for comparison my OEM after using about 3 months is showing only about 1600mah
Go for Seidio 1900 mha Works well and not a knock off battery
I just got two anker batteries. It says 1900 mah but it lasts just as long as the stock battery so I recommend it. Same with chichitec I have two of those as well.
The Anker 1900mAh battery is good value for the money, just make sure you fully drain and charge it 4-5 times to get the most out of it.
mugen 1950mah battery is the best and legit!
Thanks for the suggestions, after looking around the other threads I went ahead and bought a chichitec battery. It should be shipping soon!
I have a friend that works at AT&T and he just sent me a pic of this product they just got in. It is a spare battery charging system with the spare battery included and it is listed at $49. It is on the AT&T website just Google "spare battery charging system galaxy note at&t" and it is about the 6th one down.
(Sorry I'm a noob and can't post links.)
Does anyone have this? Is it worth the buy?
Here's the link for the assist....

personally I'd buy something similar from amazon or ebay before I blow $50 on a charging solution...
OEM original is a huge ripoff!
I bought this, 2 battery with battery charger for only 14.99$ !
I used this battery for 3 days now (I charge it nightly when I go sleep),
and I can't tell the different between this cheap battery and OEM original!
this cheap battery lasts just as long as original OEM!
the battery also weight the same as original, it's possible the battery made by the same company, just a different label.
battery charger works on AC and on car with microusb charging!
I highly recommend it!

The product has been in stores at launch date of the g-note, don't know why your friend's store just now receiving it. As for the item, it does what its design to do. Just make sure to connect it to a charger with more than 500mA or else it will be an all day process. I wouldn't and didn't pay $50 for this product.

If you want the OEM one order it from amazon instead. I bought mine for $30. Better off saving the $20 + tax vs buying it in store, you can pretty much buy 2 for the price of one.

I appreciate the responses everyone. I think I will stay away from it now and look into some other power solutions.

Update us later to see how the batteries hold a charge after some use. Seems like a really good deal
Not that I'm questioning u and ur after market battery, just heard a lot of bad things about non OEM batteries. They may be cheaper but they don't last as long as the OEM ones even if they are larger mah batteries
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
not all non-aftermarket are junk.
I used to have aftermarket battery for Sony x1,
that battery rated the same mAh as OEM
but battery is much lighter and doesn't hold that much charge.
this aftermarket battery for note is heavy, weights the same as OEM.
I have been using this aftermarket battery for 4 days now, it lasts the whole day
I have no need to swap to the other battery. (I charge phone nightly when I go sleep)
I wish someone would make a charging solution that would work with most cases...

Not worth $92. You can buy the OEM extended battery door for $20 on amazon and then an OEM extended battery for the tbolt for $4. $24 is much better. I bought the OEM extended battery at Verizon when it was half off for $25. And about 2 months ago I bought an OEM tbolt extended battery. I now have a total average of 96 hours of battery life.

Too bad it doesn't fit in the oem extended back.
The mugen battery is totally awesome.
Although I have three VZ 2750 batteries I have not used one of them since I got the awesome mugen 4000.
If you want a battery that will never die, the mugen is worth every penny.
I was having repeated problems this last week keeping my 4G connected. It would cut out randomly and I was not able to stream video. The Speedtest app was showing speeds less than 1 mbps. I would run the same test on my GF's Razr right next to my Rezound and the Razr was getting 15 mbps download. So it was isolated to my Rezound.
I got a new SIM card yesterday and still had the same problems. I switched to the spare Mugen Power extended back. Same problem. Then I switched back to the OEM extended 2750 mah battery and the problem is currently resolved. Getting decent download speeds and Netflix streams again.
I'll give it a few more days to see if the problem returns. But for now, the Mugen Power 4000 mAh battery or its back MAY be the source of my problems. Too bad since the battery had done so well for the first month I used it. I'll keep you posted.
(I feel like such a tool since I already posted this rather positive review and now it appears to be having problems.)

Update. The LTE connection problem came back while using the OEM extended battery. So I have done the dreaded factory reset and now the LTE connection stays on. I am praying the problem doesn't return.

Are those OEM extended battery doors on Amazon legit? More specifically, I would like to know if they have all of the proper antenna connections on it.
Good review. A couple comments.
My mugen backplate had the hole at the bottom for the noise canceling mike.
I have the same case you showed. I set my phone face down in the sun for 15 minutes and now the case is snug.
The two holes for the noise canceling mikes do not always line up, so i enlarged the holes a little. Happy with case now.
As for battery life, all I know is i get better than on the oem extended which i started with day 1. How much better is hard to define as i don't take accurate measurements, but gut feel is about 30%.
I had the oem extended for 43 months and the mugen for 1.
Follow the recommended procedure for over charging and draining 4 -5 times. It makes a big difference.
Since I changed to another phone, I'll be selling my Mugen Power extended battery on ebay starting at 99 cents.

The antenna is integrated in the battery door. You have a bad connection between the antenna and phone contacts.
