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 just recently bought an extended battery for my fassy. As some of us know erasing battery stats in cwm "helps battery life". In reality its showing more accurate battery stats so that it doesnt drop several percent rapidly to compensate. My question is: does it really work like that and will switching between the stock 1500mah and extended battery 2400mah distort the battery reading? Or cause any other problems for that matter....m

I have the naztech 2400 battery. I have wiped my stats after a full charge. Doesn't seen to hurt anything. Mine. Appears to report correctly.

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.

nice battery, where did you get it?
Hey, i got this battery too and he didnt work for me. I had the same battery life as the stock battery.
LG
Ah,the placebo effect (or marketing interests?)...He has a 14% drain of battery from screen, less than half of phone idle, it means he did not use it as he says he did. If you do some research you will find out that there realistically is no way of getting more power out of a battery without increasing its size, there are some 1500 (advertised) capacity batteries which show that they are slightly bigger in size barely fitting in, but also on those users report amperes lower than what displayed...Many batteries out there are fakes...
My solution in battery problem
There is one viable solution from my point of view. Two extra batteries + charger. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-1200mah-...448706?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab2080042). It just works for me.
That was my setup with Xperia X10 Mini Pro! 2 Deji batterys plus the original! I think I'll go again for the Deji in my Mini Pro. I was very satisfied with those.
Here's the link
the bigger mAh, then bigger size the batt is. am i correct?

Hi guys,
I am a Galaxy S 3 user.
I have been using DU battery saver over the past few days and i noticed that my battery voltage ( which is rated at 3.8V for the SGS3), is showing fluctuations between 3.8V and 4.0V. Is this normal ??
I also bought an OEM battery off ebay and the voltage is fixed to 3.6V. Do you recommend using the OEM battery or will the low voltage affect the phone?

Its against the rules, that you agreed to when you signed up for XDA, to bump threads before 24 hours of inactivity. Refrain from doing so in the future.

OEM batteries are always my preference. They're regulated better (generally). Id rather have 2 OEM batteries or 1 OEM battery and a usb extended battery than a replacement brand battery. that's me though.

As I know it is normal.
The voltage will be between 3.6 or 3.7 up to 4.1 or 4.2 , sorry I can't remember the exact number, but that's it
Usually battery capacity is related, 100% will show like 4.2 V, and if goes down 10% , it will drop to 3.7 V.
Maybe you should have done a little research on Li-ion battery, Wikipedia is good place
