So I just bought an extended battery from accessory swamp.
This one: http://www.accessoryswamp.com/3500mah-extended-life-htc-evo-3d-battery.html
Will these cases fit that battery cover?
These: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Evo-3D-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item84b8bb48cb
It would be great to find out.
Thanks guys.
that extended battery looks like any other $15 ebay extended battery, but twice the price. so really that extended case should fit.
i'im going with this extended battery + cover + case in a few days after i see how i like the evo 3d: http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-3500...63SQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320023461&sr=8-2
Other inexpensive cases for extended batteries EVO 3D
There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the evo 3d with the extended battery.
I have question, I have extended battery and it is much better than the oem, it 1950 mAh, but when I open any battery monitoring program, it keep saying 1700 mAh. Is this normal?

This very much depends on the phone and the way you initially calibrated your battery. I recommend to read this guide from Mugen Power for more info and also look into rooting the phone to be able to access power mngmt .bin files.

I am thinking of buying a Mugen extended battery for my HD. I know it's bulkier, but I don't mind the extra dimensions/weight for the peace of mind that I won't run out of power. I have used Mugen before for my last smartphone, and I was totally happy with the performance.
I also know from past experience, how difficult it was to find a case that fit the phone with the extended battery.
Anybody use a pouch type (preferably leather) case that fits the HD with the extended Mugen battery? either 4500mAh or 3000mAh
Thanks in advance for sharing this valuable information
I was looking for the same thing too because I bought a 2500mah extended battery with extended cover from Boxwave but I cant seem to find a case that will fit my HD with a extended battery, so what I did is I bought some cheap silicon cases from ebay and just modified it to fit my Touch HD with extended battery.

Hi,
I've been looking at this battery and wondering if it would be safe?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-HIGH-CAPACITY-BA-S450-GOLD-BATTERY-MOZART-/200627217288?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb6506388
Thanks
Will it be safe? Probably. Will it be a load of crap? Also, probably. You get what you pay for with batteries - I have a Mugen Power 1800 mAh extended battery and it works really well - but then it was twice the price of this one. Have a look at the seller's feedback and you'll see a lot of people complaining the batteries did nothing better than the stock ones and in some cases were worse. They sell cheap Chinese knock-offs - maybe OK if you just want a cheap silicone case, but useless for batteries.
There's only so much juice you can cram in to the stock battery size. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Yep I would vouch for the Mugen power one as well, better battery life, not had any problems with it. Get the Mugen one.
Hey Guys,
You may want to know about the performance of the extended battery from mugen 3600mah and from ebay so called 3600mah (white+red+yellow). Here is my observataion and just wanna share with you my feelings:-
I got a GS2 and a EVO3D, purchased one mugen battery and 2 ebay batteries for my GS2; also purchased 2 3600mah battery from ebay. they are from the same China manufacturer and thus the prices are similiar.
Outlook:-
The mugen cover is really awesome, fit and with imprinted figures, however if you use ebay battery, the mugen cover cannot fit in, its tailor made for its battery only!
The ebay cover is also fit to the body, surface smooth. u can use both ebay battery and mugen battery.
Performance:-
Mugen battery can last for 3x hours something with juice defender
Ebay battery can last for nearly 24 hours with juice defender
both are under heavy usage in internet browsing and texting
Price:- Buy 1 mugen can buy at least 8 ebay battery
Charging time:- Mugen battery takes longer to fully charge
i would say the battery from ebay is not fully 3600mah, i think its abt 3000mah, assuming mugen give you the true figures.
For me, I would no doubt to purchase evo 3d battery from ebay, and the finishing of the cover is top fit to evo 3d, make it more durable! and now my evo 3d can last at least 24 hours, for sure sufficient to heavy usage guy. someone said i'm taking a soap out, but for me, it shows much handsome and durable, its worth.
Buy 1 original htc 1730 mah battery can buy 4 3600mah ebay battery, why not?
Up Time is irrelevant really, as we don't know how the phone was used. To give everyone a better idea of the battery's performance, also post Awake Time along with Up Time.
Other important information is what rom/kernal you're using, and if you're overclocking, underclocking, etc...

Mike, you are right, i use stock rom from Taiwan, rooted, no overclock etc, I'm a user, test the 2 batteries under the same circumstances, same numbers of software, same user preference. my view is subjective enough. Trust or not is your call.
A universal way to judging batteries is screen on time..
How much hours was the screen on for each bettery in your tests?
Mugen is a rip. Way too expensive and didn't last as long as China 3500mah with smooth flat cover
hi, i'm looking for extended batteries that come with replacement back cover for motorola photon
can anybody give me input ?
on how the battery perform
and how good the quality of the replacement back cover ?
actually i'm leaning towards seidio because i've used them in may blackberries and they are good.
and also the other option that i found is
either the cheapo ebay stuff (where i'm afraid about the quality of the battery and the quality of the back cover
and also the Mugen power battery (i found the price is too steep for and extended battery)
so please advice
thank you.
I've been using a TREXCELL 3500 battery from AMAZON.Pricing is in the $20-$25 range & this is definitely a solid choice over SEIDIO.
I get a solid 10 hrs of moderate to heavy use & 14-16 hrs. of light to moderate use w/o re-charging.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526066
No problems with them yet.
Can anyone give a link to a decent external battery charger?

I got 50 Hours with light use on my TREXCELL 3500 mAh =D Favorite battery!
hows the quality of the back cover on trexcell ?
do they feel flimsy ?
I've got both a TREXCELL & INCREDICELL(don't recommend the INCREDICELL).
The battery covers are equal, if not exactly the same.
Care does need to be taken when removing the cover, especially around the kickstand area, as that is the weakest point on the cover due to the contours that are present to accommodate the extended battery thickness.
Not a big deal, or, deal breaker. You can get replacement covers by simply buying an el cheapo extended battery for a few $ on e-Bay, AMAZON, etc.......
SEIDIO will sell the extended battery cover by itself, for $14..95.
You simply just have to call & ask for it, unless SEIDIO has begun listing them on their website.
Anyone ever try the Droid Bionic battery on the Photon? I am thinking about getting it.

hi thanks
this is what i really want
a hyperion battery and a seidio back cover
do they fit ?
why hyperion, cause i've heard good reviews of it on this forum and the seidio battery doesn't get good reviews
and also my friends buy the hyperion battery with the replacement back cover, but thte cover is very bad, he broke the clips within 2 weeks, so i supposed that the seidio back case is supposedly better.
the only question for me now is , are they compatible ?
i mean will the seidio back cover accommodate the hyperion extended battery ?
I'm pretty sure the Galaxy SIII will have decent battery life and when ROMs and kernels come around it'll be even better. The S3 having a 2100mah battery, do you guys think it's possible for 3rd parties accessories maker to do like a 2500 Mah battery like the note? Or will it be too big and add bulk to the phone with an bigger back cover?
There will definitely be extended batteries, but any that add significantly to the capacity will have their own rear casing and add some bulk. Mugen often make batteries the same size as the originals with a slight edge in capacity, but I doubt they'd get it to 2500mA.
Im sure there will at some point be extended batteries available in much higher capacities with their own back covers. This might actually be beneficial for those worried about getting scratched camera lenses.

Nfc antenna is in the battery so Kepler that in mind when looking for a replacement
Extended batteries on eBay
I found some extended batteries for sale on eBay. All of them seem to ship from China. Some are 2300 and 2500 mAh and appear that they fit using the standard back cover. Other larger batteries come with a new back cover making the phone thicker. The downside of both options is that none of the extended batteries seem to include NFC support. It's a shame that the phone's NFC feature was built into the battery.
Extended Battery and Cover
I think what you are looking for is the power case from droidax. They have a new one that fits the GS3 and has 2300 mAh battery inside. That doubles the battery capacity.

Waiting on the full line from Seidio myself. They said they are working on an extended battery but currently have no ETA. I usually buy the whole suite; Comes with a battery, back cover, 3 layers of casing and a holster. My opinion is that practicality is more important than how thin and light the phone is. My EVO 4g lasted a week with Seidio's extended battery. Hope to get the same with the SGS3.
I see this time and time again, but also I guess this is why there is a market for fake batteries.
Think of a battery as a fuel tank, you want to run the motor for longer? you need a bigger tank. Any battery that claims to have a larger capacity yet maintain the same physical size is either utilising battery technology no one else knows about or its too good to be true.

You can get a 2300mAh battery that gives like 10% extra capacity or a huge 4600mAh battery (2.2 times more capacity). Second one comes with back door because of bulk and adds like 11mm to the phone.
Found this video for the above mentioned battery.
