Hey guys I just wanted to share info on a little gadget I just bought and it works very well. It concerning our battery on the galaxy ace. As everyone knows it's not the best battery but this definitely helps a lot.

It's really small so, that's always a plus. I have actually had my ace charging in my pocket while walking around with it Check it out let me know what you guys think.
UPDATE:
I also just found this but I don't know if it's going to be worth it...1350mah to 1400mah does not sound like a huge step up to me

I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II phone, and it is absolutely brilliant. Speeds are excellent - no lag. Screen is absolutely AMAZING. Camera is the best I've ever touched.
BUT, the thing that bugs me is the battery life. One of the selling points of the Galaxy S II to me was the "Amazing Battery Life" which has been praised. I have only owned this phone for two days (charged only one and a half times), but I have not seen this "excellent" battery life AT ALL.
Any tips or suggestions? I have read that the battery in this device "improves" after some time (a few charge cycles). Is this true?
Thank you
hey congratulations on your new samsung. I got mine when it first came out and had the same problems with batteries. My best suggestion is to familiarize yourself with custom roms and learn everything you need to know about flashing and rooting, and when you're ready look into installing a custom rom. Cognition v1.5.1 is a really good choice because of the fact that it removes a lot of the bloatware that automatically runs when you turn the phone on (which drains the battery quite a bit). Also some other ways of dealing with the battery life is to reduce the brightness as much as you can handle (the highest setting of brightness on any phone is never a good idea for battery life).
if you search around these forums you will probably find better help from people who know more about this stuff than me. However, as someone who went from never touching android in my life to learning it all with this phone I can say your best bet is to learn how to flash and mess around with the firmware. That coupled with basic battery tips will help a lot.
also one final thought. If you download battery calibrator from the market, charge your phone to 100% then take the plug out and run it, let it drain down to 0% then start the charge over that is the quickest way to fix the battery issues. (this would only need to be done once, or every time you flash a new firmware if you choose to pursue that).
hope I helped!
Hi,
Just wanted to know whether you guys think that this battery is the real deal, if it is it would be the ideal solution to the short battery life.

There is a topic in this forum about batteries... Some people say it's really good, and battery last indeed longer. I'm concern about that, and I don't really trust non-official stuff. Our ace comes with a 1350 mah battery, 2430 is almost double capacity, way too much for such a small battery, IMO.
But I'd love to know if someone finds a better battery, I can't stand the crappy battery life we have now.
On the other hand, it costs 15 euros, so, if it's not as good as the original, you can still use it as a spare one, just in case.
Then u have to buy another device, cause the Ace is made for 1350mAh. Its a phone for beginner and therefor not really expensive. If u want a better battery u should buy an S1 or SII or just accept the fact that u have to recharge every day and enjoy ur phone
I personally wouldnt buy any battery on ebay or whatever cause its all fake and cheap it can even damage ur phone..2430 mAh for that kind of battery? surely not possible and it doesnt even say its a lithium Ion Battery..so forget about it its just third party crap u wont have a lot of fun with.. think about why it only costs 12 pounds..
Hey guys, I've been looking into this extended battery for my Alpha since I barely get 9 hours use from my phone (mostly listening to music through Soundcloud for about 4 hours and a ton of browsing reddit/various forums about 2 hours a day). Lots of people told me to go for a larger phone with a larger battery capacity but I don't like holding bricks in my pocket so I went for the Galaxy Alpha and mostly happy with the performance minus the battery life.
Looking into it, I've found the extended battery kit on Expansys (Cant link since this is like my first post here)
So far that's the only place in the UK that I could find that sells the kit, and would like to know if anyone else has seen it elsewhere. I've never ordered from Expansys before, usually stick to Amazon when I can so just want to confirm they are reputable before I order.
Also want to know if anyone has had first hand experience with the kit itself, how much extra juice does this deliver, and how much longer does it take to charge up? Already read through the "official" numbers, and it seems like it will be good. I remember doing the same for my Galaxy S2 before I bought this phone and that goes for about 15 hours for a day now (gave it to my sister).
Thanks in advance for any answers!

I didn't really think that the battery life was terrible but I ordered one of those extended battery thing for more grip.
Now, the phone is still very sizeable, and actually it is now the perfect size for me.
The slight thickness it gains increased the phone's presence in my hand greatly.
About the battery life with the kit, I used to get about 12 hours with the original battery and now, I get about 1.5 Days or so with ~4 hours of SoT. It varies greatly if I just surf the net, listen to music, vs. I play games, etc...
So in general, I can go about 2 days without charging and that is GREAT IMO. (S5 that I used for a bit had similar battery life I would say..)
I say get one when you can, as you really do'nt know when they are going to run out of the stock.
will the extended battery work with wireless charging back cover ?

Hey Guys,
the battery of my girlfriends s6 edge is slowly dieing and i would like to replace it with an battery with even capacity to an original new one. I already ordert two diffrent "original" batteries from ebay. The first was unfortunately a used one and in an even worse condition and the other one had less capacity and started to blow out after one month of use.
I would like to know what the experiences are that you guys made an whether someone has a seller he can recommend.
Ebay is kind of dead for me. And im not sure witch other option there is.
What do you Think about the Hagnaven or the GLK battery?
BTW. I'm from germany so pls dont bother with my good english
Hello everyone !
I've use my poco f1 quite a lot this year and tried many mods/stuff on it and the battery got a bit old now, so I want to change it. It doesn't look too difficult to do it but when buying it I found different models.
I wanted to know if it's dangerous to buy a battery that has a bigger capacity than the original one, here is the one I found (on the website folk battery, 5400mAh, I can't post a link)
It sounds cool to be able to move to a bigger one but I don't know if jt's safe.
Please tell me if you know about it or if you know what model I should buy instead of this one.
Thanks in advance !
I've read the reviews for a battery similar to the one you are probably talking about. The battery is poorly made and is barely 2500mAh let aside the 5400mAh advertised.
Please buy battery only from Authorized Service Center.
But on a realistic note, original Poco battery costs around 2k including service. That's 14% percent the cost of a new Poco.

Thanks a lot, I'll buy an official one and changing it by myself doesn't look that hard
if it is original or good brand such as anker---just go ahead !!
from a long time i tested it for samsung s3 neo and it was totally impressive (it was anker battery with doubled capacity )
