The reason why i bought this battery is because i wanted to end my work shift with at least 20-30 percent(on a single battery) f obattery left to make phone call if needed, extend my phone usage away from a charger and longer web searching and the Andida 2000mAh didn't help at all. The result
OEM Battery 1500mAh: listening to music from 4 to 1am = 10% battery life left
Andida 2000mAh: ran 3 test each time my phone ended up dying around 11:30-12:00 this battery is not 2000mAh it somewhere around 1100-1300 it make an good back up battery but not an good extended battery.
I well be running some more test, like how long it last on 3G compared to the OEM battery but as of now i see theres no need to.
If you need an extra battery this is worth the money, but if you need an extended battery its not.
I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Haven't seen anything Earth-shattering as far as performance under normal use, but I watched a 2 and half hour movie on the device yesterday and it only went down to 50%.

i listen to alot of music etc etc daily when im at work so that when i would be able to see if its really a big change. I always end the night with about 10 percent of battery life.
Not terrible
I'm using a pair of these, with an external charger. I don't see that they provide a lot of advantage over the original HTC 1500Ma battery that came with my TP2, but they are an acceptable substitute.
One thing to keep in mind - I think they are heavier than the stock batteries. They are advertised as LiPoly, but I think they are LiIon.

It's under $10. Even if it's only as good as the stock battery it is well worth the money considering the stock one costs about $40. Even an OEM off eBay is as much as $16.

for an extended battery it not, i was looking for extended battery life without having to switch to another battery but this battery didnt do its job 2000mAh i don't think so its at least 1100-1300 i notice my battery died faster even on normal usage compared to the OEM. I honestly had enough of it :\... about to add some MM to my TP2 and get a bigger battery.

You are using the US T-Mobile version, from what I can see in the pix you posted; the only one available is the Mugen 3200, it runs about $79. I have not considered it because it really makes the back of the phone stick out. And it is expensive.
I buyed an used Touch pro 2. so i dunno how was the OEM battery when it was new. When i replaced with this 2000 mAh it nearly double up the battery life. From my site there is full satisfaction.

Aside from the poor English in your post, there's no way a 2000mAh battery is giving you double the battery life or even close to it. It is only 33% higher capacity than the stock battery.

Np, i full charge and completely drain the battery and still the same results
Took the plunge and bought the 1900 slim battery for the vigor . First impressions are it is definitely lasting longer than the stock slim battery. I will take a couple days to test and make sure it is not a placebo effect.
Are you refering to this battery?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...extended-battery-for-verizon-htc-rezound.html
Yep it looks slim, fits inside and doesnt require extra backdoor cover.
Concerning the performace please post your test results, i am pretty curious, but at the same time very confident, Mugen is a good brand.

I will post results tomorrow...
I bought the mugen extended battery for the thunderbolt. It definitely did last longer then the OEM one but, when the rezound came out I bought a extra battery and that one lasted MUCH longer on the thunderbolt. That mugen battery didn't work right on the rezound so I didn't need it when I sold the rezound. I bought an oem extended battery for my rezound and I love it.

just got this battery today im a heavy user, ill post results next week
Im interested in seeing the results, I have been thinking of getting a larger battery, but did not want the larger cover and the bulk that comes with it
Still waiting to hear real results, plus how the temperature is.
Also looking forward to the results.
I am too. I would get one if it was actually better than stock.
I believe in the past the problem with third party batteries was the not the initial performance but the extremely short life span of the battery. Over time batteries will gradually loose their ability to hold a charge. So buyer beware, these batteries may be great for the first month or two then significantly drop off.
Good luck
anyone have this battery for a decent amount of time? I am all for just a little more battery, without the bulk of the extended.
How does it work!?!?
My Results!
Here are my results from today. I've had the battery since Monday, so I gave it few days before doing this. At the rate I used it today (Texts, Calls, 4G Use), it would have been dead by the 5 hour mark. Also, 111 is the lowest my phone has ever been when using Wireless Tether. I still text a lot while it's doing that too, and it's always at 120 or slightly above, so that seems to be an improvement as well.
initial impressions
Street putting it through is paces it sends like I am getting about 2 to 3 hours extra life compared to the 1620 battery...I have had it since Monday.
Just got mine last night, initial impression is that it lasts a few hours longer. I was at about 40% at 5 hours 30 mins, at which time I was usually at around 25-20%

Guys,
I recently got the 1900 mugen batt and I just dled this app and it says my battery is 1590mah. I was wondering if i got ripped or the app is inaccurate. I will dl another battery app and double check it.
Just wanted to see if I have the same battery everyone else has.

Mine said the same thing, but running it through some tests, it definitely last longer than the stock battery.
I am getting about 7-8 hours of normal use out of this battery, which is a few hours longer than the stock. One thing to note, however, and I'm not sure why, but last night I let it get down to the 15% warning and at 10% it just died and wouldn't turn back on. Charged up and we're fine now, so I'm not sure what happened.

You have to calibrate your battery before you'll really see it's full potential.
Does such a thing exist? The battery life on the DNA is killing me, I am considering trading this back to VZW for the Galaxy S3 since I'm still in my 14 day trial.
Basically I'm looking for a case that you "charge" and doubles as a case and a charger, once the charge on the case runs out, it goes back to the battery.

Sounds like you have a faulty device. My battery life has been nothing but excellent compared to my Galaxy Nexus. Also, the SGS III is going to get about the same battery life as the DNA.
Download the GSAM Battery app and see what is eating up your battery.
I would also love to find something like this case here http://www.mophie.com/mophie-juice-pack-PRO-iPhone-4-battery-case-p/2175_jppro-ip4-org.htm. I am coming from the Rezound myself where I always had 3 Extended batteries with me in case I killed the battery. I do think the DNA gets alot better batery life then the Rezound, however I still have to charge it 3 or 4 times in a day. I would love it if there was a case like this build for the DNA.

Somethings wrong with your phone if you have to charge it 4 times in a day. There aren't enough hours in a day for that to be necessary. Even if you don't sleep and never put your phone down.

I don't need to charge my phone that often, its just I never like the idea of having by battery below 50% just in case I need to go somewhere spur of the moment where I may not be able to charge my phone either of a wall charger or car charger. I also love to play various games on my phone a lot throughout the day to waste time, play a lot YouTube for my kids, I stream all of my music since there is a huge lack of storage on this device & also have to rely on Dropbox for all of my pictures and videos. I know that I could probably get away with letting my phone go down to around 15% or so and then charging it fully and then go on about my day from there, however I just never know when I may have to leave.

I also would like to find a battery case for the HTC DNA similar to PowerSkins Battery Cases. Not because the battery is horrible on the HTC DNA but because I want to put my mind at ease for when I don't have my charger because I'm in a different car and I need to navigate to a place I've never been or something else that takes a lot of power. People see me as a computer geek and as so expect me to be able to whatever on my phone at a moments notice. Which sucks when we are at a checkout and need to use someone elses number for a pin and my battery is dead.

I don't believe this is the typical way to guage a battery's life span. Basically what you are saying is that you would need to charge your battery from empty twice a day. Given the amount of use put on your phone that is extremely good. That's about 10 hours of screen on time and there are very few phones that come close to that. The note2 being the one exception I can think of off the top of my head. It's not a problem with your phone it's a symptom of how you use it.

Don't get me wrong here, I am not trying to talk down the battery performane of the DNA. I am just rough on my phones and have always been. I don' ever remember getting a full day use out of a smart phone except for when I used the EVO 3D with a Seidio 4,000 MAh extended battery. I have always been the kind of person that doesnt feel like I should limit use or features on my device just to conserve battery drain, I do know that this is all my choice and I have to deal with it. I am just looking for a good battery case or an external battery pack like this one http://www.amazon.com/13000mAh-External-Portable-Blackberry-Motorola/dp/B008AQLHFI.

I have had it for two months now and it's awesome! and really cheap
the batterylife is excellent, i always carry the original 2500mah battery but never use it
I'm a heavy user on my poor note and finally it can stand me.. i always get around 5 hours
(or 5 hours and half, depends on the signal) of screen time and using it all day
Of course i apply proper settings to save some power but i dont decrease the brightness or the useful thing.. this phone wasnt cheap for me, im not gonna use it like it was a dim and slow, non-multitasking old android <3 so yay for the rav power battery!
did you get it at like $7(i got it in my own currency but i guess that's the price in dollars)
Ps/ and no im not on ICS, i'm on JB, the stock one
Awesome .. I have noticed that the battery life seems to be a little better .. Still testing though ... Good to see ya still around kiwi. And yes got it for 7$

Latest buyer comment on that battery on Aliexpress.com:
"battery life is not that good, about the same as the original phone battery", see http://www.aliexpress.com/store/feedback-score/1489491.html
Wonder if NFC works. It is hard to believe that a same size of battery can offer double the capacity.
The battery finally arrived. First impression, it is actually slightly thinner than the original Samsung battery (about 0.10 to 0.20mm thinner). Will have to update the battery life later after I used it for a day or two.
ok men i hope its a good battery
The battery itself feel quite solid. Actually seems better build than the original Samsung battery which is also made in China. However, NFC doesn't work. I have another 3rd party 1860mah battery and NFC doesn't work on that one either. So it seems only Samsung battery comes with NFC antenna.
However, I found a solution to NFC problem. I purchased this Qi slim coil http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QMIM6EM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 a while back. It contains NFC antenna on it. With it on, it provides NFC for any battery. And since this battery is slightly thinner, it makes this Qi coil fit even better than the OEM battery.
Still can't tell the battery life yet. My gut feeling is it is better than the OEM battery, not worse.
is the battery better than the original one?

I don't use screen much. It mostly sit in a spot with very weak cell signal, but ok WiFi signal, all day. I just compare to my other battery with the same usage pattern. So comparing screen on time numbers is useless, IMO. Typically, when my battery dies, SOT is never more than 30min.

Hi! After a few days, what would you say about this new battery life ?
After a week of usage, I'd say it is about the same as the original OEM battery.

Thank you for the feedback !
I will fly to China in a couple of weeks and will order a couple of these. The battery seems the only real weak point on the Alpha. I have the S6 myself and I bought an Alpha for my girlfriend. I am quite impressed with it. Even TouchWiz is feeling smooth and solid. and it just looks awesome. and feels very portable. I am really starting to love this phone especially when running because of the light weight and small form factor.
The only downside is the battery life sometimes with heavy use and I am not charmed by the extended battery by Samsung itself. Because I bought the Silver edition and I don't want a black or white cover that is thicker. So I will definitely give these babies a test drive in the next couple of weeks and post back.
Thanks for the information so far.
