is this extended battery any good? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

It seems too good to be true, so I'm assuming this product will just damage my phone somehow.

[Q] Best certified aftermarket battery option?

Mainly I've been looking at a couple of options to extend battery life in general.
I've found a couple of aftermarket battery options..
Battery booster, basically charges your battery when you need it to: http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Protective-Cover-Battery-Boost/dp/B0040Z3B98/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1294195978&sr=8-8
An aftermarket battery same size, but slightly better than oem one: http://www.amazon.com/1200mAh-PowerGen-Premium-Quality-Firestone/dp/B003ZUQISU/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1294195978&sr=8-11
And Mugen Power battery 2600mah extended battery: http://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Power-Extended-Battery-2600mAh-HTC/dp/B0049JWHYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1294196068&sr=8-1-catcorr
Opinions?
As for me I would rather find a battery that fits the stock OEM size battery but has better life. Reason, I already have a nice case for my phone (the body glove one), and there aren't any cases I can find for the extended battery back door.
I think the charge when you need it option is kind of cool, since it comes with what appears to be a very nice case.
Also, the OEM battery i linked isn't the best I've found, but, it's a decent brand as far as I'm aware.. as I've heard some others boast bigger claims than they offer.
Anyone know of any true better than oem batteries that fit the stock back casing and phone? If so please share your purchases and/or findings.
And lastly, what is the stock ratings of the HTC HD2 OEM battery on average? Not sure if mine was/is aftermarket, was purchased used.

Acesoft Battery causing serious issues?

Seems like I have nothing but problems ever since I slapped on there the acesoft 2010mah battery. At 1st I thought it was Quicksense, but my girlfriend is running stock and her phone has frozen up on her, battery goes to 0 when there is still some left. Not sure but seems like these batteries really suck!
I want some serious battery life, any recommendation?
Is it possible I get 2 bad batteries? What seemed weird about the batteries when I got them is that they were fully charge. Every battery I bought has had either a partial charge or no charge.
It could be a driver issue with the phone and battery. Try another company since each likes to tinker with their batteries and that can lead to instability.
Battery needs drivers?
Another thing I notice also, GPS and Bluetooth dont work well when they are both in use. Bluetooth says its pair when its not and the GPS freezes and acts funny.
I'll try and see about getting a different brand.
Can anyone recommend "GOOD" battery with long battery life?
I was thinking maybe this
http://www.amazon.com/2000mah-Premi...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327565898&sr=1-18
I would recomend staying away from any aftermarket batteries. Everyone here seems to like the ankor Battery. weird that the andida looks the same. Oh and yes batteries require drivers.
Have you tried clearing the battery cache? I have read this helps with new non OEM batteries. I would go with ankor if you must seems to be the battery of choice. Imo if an aftermarket battery isn't giving you at least 3-4 extra hours it ain't worth it. Plus there's always the risk of it being a pos and damaging your hardware. And I'm sure you void any and all warranties doing so.
Hope this helps gl

I got the anker 1800mah batteries, I should have gotten the 1900.. but they have better battery life over stock(even the 1800). I will say this though, you have to be careful with them, the little plastic dividers between the charging terminals can break, and I blame the crappy ac charger that anker makes that came with my batteries(the charging tabs move so you can charge different batteries on it).
If I could do it over, I would have gotten two 1900mah, been a little more careful with them, stopped using the stock battery, and gotten a better quality ac charging dock.

[Q] Is this battery worth the money?

Hi all.
I'm thinking about buying this battery: http://dx.com/p/replacement-3-7v-48...case-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300-black-152810
Is it worth it?
I know that it's more than two times bigger than the original one, but will it last two times longer? Or won't I see any difference?
Are there any risks of damaging my phone with this battery? Will it void the warranty?
Thanks a ton
I wouldn't risk it. Non-genuine batteries are always risky. If sammy find out that damage was caused by a non-genuine battery your warranty will be voided. Check out their website for an additional battery charging kit, it's what I use, you can just rotate the batteries instead of putting your phone on charge, much nicer.
Twice the size is twice the battery life though.

Ok, but how could Samsung know it?

[Q] Experience with 3000mAh BH6X Battery?

I am in search of a new battery and I came across a 3000 mAH battery that doesn't require an extended battery case. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-7v-BH6X-R...cement-For-Motorola-MB860-ME860-/271036164752
http://www.amazon.com/3000mAh-Rechargeable-Battery-Replacement-Motorola/dp/B008VO07AA
From reading, it seems like you have to calibrate the Atrix to understand the new battery through a couple charges and configuration changes; cool. I am wondering if anyone has had experience with THIS battery? Is it legit?

It's the same size at the standard battery
It's double the capacity
It costs $1.16
If it's too good to be true...

haha --- I know... I am less worried about the $$$ spent and more worried about not harming my phone.

Well in e-bay I buy this battery http://www.ebay.com/itm/2430MAH-HIG...844826?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f1e183dda and it was quiet good for one day, after one day it was dead the battery board was dead and I replace it whit old battery board so I don't think it is real.
I think the picture says it all. Not quite sure why someone would even bother considering a battery with such almost offensively unrealistic specs.
To store more current, the battery has to be physically bigger. It's why "D" cell batteries are bigger than "A" cell batteries even though they have the same voltage output.
Think of current as water. Can you fit more water in a bucket if it's the same size as the one you have?

I had bad experience with several extended batteries from ebay. I always prefer to buy an extra regular battery instead of having an extended battery.

Battery with acid damage still functional

I used to have a SM-9005 In Pink on TMO, however my dog decided it would be a good thing to pee on (thus causing acidic corrosion). The phone had the 10K MAH Battery from Zerolemon,
The N9005 itself worked, and did not...its mainboard became corroded where the display connector is and went all matrixy. The battery has 1 corroded strip, one is half corroded, and the rest are fine. I inserted it into the 900P, and it works fine. However battery drain seems to be much...faster...and phone turned off three times by itself. When I turned it on however the battery % went...UP!
Is there an app that will allow me to see how much MAH is still working in the battery? I would imagine there are dead portions & I am pretty sure NFC is not usable anymore.
After flashing a rom away from stock turning off seems to not be an issue and all I know is its been running 3943mv...

I have the feeling that you're playing with fire here.
Using a corroded battery is never a good idea. You have already said that the contacts are corroded and you've seen degraded battery performance and, quite frankly, erratic behavior from the battery.
Continuing to use this battery because it still technically "works" would be, in my opinion, irresponsible. Best-case the battery continues to degrade over time (as all batteries do). Worst-case would be a fried phone and/or property damage.
In my opinion, risking the life of a $600 smartphone isn't worth it for a battery that you can buy for $15 on Amazon.

Yeah,
It just started to randomly turn phone off even on normal rom so I switched it back out for stock battery.
