I just bought a i9100 external battery case from ebay not sure if its any good or it fits but I'm going to give it a try any ways. Has any bought one of this.
UPDATE"""
OK got the case 2 days ago and was going through the cycle charges to get the full potential out of the battery. The case fits great with no freezes or boot loop when on. Cons it kept turning of and on by its self, but fixed that by bending the usb plug. OK second con is the battery life sucks it would only charged the phone up to 65%. So what I did was open up the case to see what size battery it was and it says 1700mah not 2200mah liked stated on the case.the battery is crap and I wont recommend it to any one. I'm going to try to take out the old battery and put in a better battery..

Looks interesting, let us know when you get it if it works and if it adds much bulk to the phone

Just posting to get opinions on after market batteries. I have owned the Atrix 4G since the day it came out with no complaints whatsoever. The battery life seems to be comparable to my old iPhone 3g (which i hated) but because the Atrix is so much better I obviously have it opened and am using it a lot more.
-Is it worth it to buy the optional extended batteries?
-Are they bigger that OEM batteries?
-How much longer is the battery life?
-If so, I assume my current Otter Box would not fit?
Thank you for the help.

The largest is a Seidio (which I dont think is out) it's only a 2200 MAH, compared to our 1900 (ish) MAH. I got a new replacement from moto because my battery life wasn't lasting as long as it was when i first bought it. Turned out I actually had the wrong battery mode on and it was using up too much power.
I have the 3600 mah, and while its big and you can't use a phone, it makes it easier to hold the phone imo, and lasts all day easily.

My review with heavy usage says you'll last forever. Now I squeeze a day and a half with stock battery. That battery pushes me several.

do you have a prob where the % do not reflect the actual battery usage? my battery can show 30% but after a reboot it will show 100%. I can do a reboot twice before it shows the actual %
I can confirm CEOGUY's report on the Seidio3200. It is indeed a beast.
I too experienced the battery calibration problem. I am now using the latest Battery Monitor Widget. Something was fixed in a recent update that allows the calibration to work correctly.

Does the battery req a special charger? Or just charging direct from the phone will be sufficient
No special charger, I use the OEM one.

I'm thinking about getting an extended battery for the vibrant which is 3500 mah and I was wondering, is it really worth it? Because if I put it in my pocket I really don't want it to stick out or get annoying. Any comments or opinion's that may question my choice are welcome that will help me in my decision.

If it's Samsung original, it won't stick out. I tried one at an official Samsung distributor a while back and it looks exactly the same as the stock one, feels heavier though.
WAIT! You can buy a battery that holds more charge???? How much is it?
I just received my extended battery and I couldn't be happier. My phone has been off the charger since 7 this morning and with heavy use it just got down to 60. (over 14 hours)

wow.i like it
I'm looking to buy a new battery because this 1400 mah just isn't cutting it. I want to buy a bigger one but I don't want all that extra bulk in the back and have to replace my stock battery door. Can someone tell me the biggest battery mah wise that I can buy w/o having to get rid of my battery door?

Seidio has a 1600. That's the biggest i've seen, and it looks like most reviewers are finding performance similar to stock.

Go name brand when you do. I have a 1800 mah no name and its not that great. Might be better than stock but not much.
Pm me your address if in the USA and ill send you a battery I got from htc express. I never used the battery (came with 2). I'll eat the shipping cost.

I went the chinese route and received 2 x 1500 mah and have noticed same battery as stock. Guess I got lucky.

wow, that was nice!!!
Sadly you won't be able to get much more performance out of a stock-sized battery, the manufacturer usually fits the largest battery they can in the phone. Any third party claiming to have a higher capacity is usually lying about the specs.
I would instead focus on software tweaks, I can easily get a full day out of my stock battery with moderate use.
I don't lower any of my settings. I keep the push email. Sometimes I use Live Wallpaper. I let my device pull LTE data speeds whenever I want. With the extended battery it lasts longer than I need in a day. Other than needing to order a case I don't mind. The bulge in the back is not as bad as some people made it seem. Pros outweigh the cons for me.

Just bought extra batteries and a battery charger. By the time my battery is dying, the next one is charged and ready to go.

app helped my battery life
I'm new here and the TB is my first Android phone. I came across an app that has helped with my battery life..... called keyboard backlight controller. It allows you to turn off the two lights that eluminate the four soft keys on the bottom of the phone. I've only been using it a couple days, but really seems to have helped by having those lights off, not HUGE diff, but anything helps.
Not sure if this was the right place to post this, but thought it might be helpful to others. It does require root.
I found this on e-bay & it says not compatible with the nfc chip. My phone doesn't have that right? Also, what do you think the chances of this battery boot looping? I already have 3 that do. Does anyone know of any on Ebay that don't for sure? I saw the post for the Amazon one but I don't want to spend 30 bucks when I can get free shipping on Ebay.

That'd be nice if only it would charge in our phones, but since it'd probably give you a boot loop it makes no sense to get one since it doesn't even come with a wall charger to give it any juice.
I got a wall charger with the other 3 regular ones that boot loop.

Cool. If you could take pictures of what it all looks like together, that'd be great too!
I just got it today. I tried to charge it with my charger from the other batteries I got & it's reversed so can't charge it that way. Its in my phone now & thankfully does not boot loop. I'll try & get some pictures up soon.

Instead of buying an extended battery for my note I want to buy an extra battery and keep it in my wallet, which I keep in my back pocket. Would the battery leak if I were to sit or would it be alright for me to keep the battery in my wallet?
It would be perfectly fine. I leave every morning with a full charge on my phone and spare battery. The spare sits in my wallet which stays in my back pockets all day. I'm in and out of chairs all day with no issues. To each their own but I love the spare battery option...
