So having a bigger battery is nice right? I mean all that extra juice comes in handy especially with that nice big note screen. However the thing looks a bit funny and isn't well protected anymore. Is there a case that replaces the back cover? The batteries are rather cheap(I got scammed for 40 bucks for my 5200) there must be something out there....
Your best bet is to just buy a spare OEM battery and charging dock. Keep it slim and most likely 2 OEM batteries will last longer then a 5200. The spare is real thin, I keep mine in my wallet. Usually only need it for trips and really late nights partying.

This is honestly your best bet at this moment. I'm ordering mine tomorrow after my pay clears. I also have a 5000mah battery but I figure this would help me along also.

I was hesitant to buy the extended battery, however at less than $9 shipped, I took the chance. I'm very satisfied! Sure, the device is bigger now, but I can go the whole day while on LTE and not worry about swapping the battery out or forgetting the extra battery, etc. I purchased an aluminum bumper to aid in protection for the sides. I got over 6hrs screen on time yesterday on the FIRST day of using the battery. All syncs on, all location services (except GPS) on always, etc. Basically, I wasn't trying to save battery at all.

I have an extended battery and Hyperion case its not that bad after this I don't think I could go back to the regular battery I stream Pandora to my Bluetooth speaker and play Netflix heavy. I can make it through 8 hours now its well worth it for me!
I'm testing both these extended batterys to see which ones better.

Yeah, screw the whole speedboat look. I used to carry a Tekkeon MyPower All 3700 on me, this is far less conspicuous & faaaaaaaar cheaper.
Also better than that Sprint power pack pro that sells for $40 & only holds a pathetic 1100mAh.
I could see that coming in handy for people who travel a lot.
Yeah, on my trips to NYC I find myself in starbucks, tethered to an outlet for an hour more times than I'm comfortable with.
Thanx for the heads up on this. I had the Sprint version of the technocel battery pack for my evo 4g which felt cheap and I think the connectors ruined my charging port, but I like this New Trent. waiting for delivery

My biggest gripe with my new Trent is that it doesn't charge the EVO 3d fast enough.
If I am in a situation where I need the extra juice (eg poor reception and I'm trying to make an extended call or do a lot of 3d) it does not seem to increase the charge in the battery.
You can have 99% charge in your external battery but if the internal battery is less than 15% you can't do a thing.
If only the 4000mah battery wasn't so ugly...

Turn off the power save conditions on the EVO. They kick in below 15 percent.

Does the power save option affect things like 3d capture below 15%?

Is this something that could maybe be fixed with later dev-updates?
Has anyone had a chance to try THIS 2400 mAh Anker battery? I've been wanting an extended battery, but it seems they have all been fakes or cost an arm and a leg. This one has a sweet price, and I know the other Anker's have a good rep. I was just wondering if anyone had a chance to try this one.
Yes, there is a thread about that exact battery on here already. Search for it, or just look through the first 1-4 pages an you should see it. The owner is very happy with it.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Sorry about that. I did a search for it, but it didn't show up. I'll look for it.
Can someone post a pic of this battery on their phone? Love to see how thick it is...
I have the anker 2400mah battery. I got it about a week ago, and when i received it, there was a small crack near the power button. I am currently in contact with the seller to get a replacement. I will update when i get this issue resolved.
As for the performance, I love it. I also have the seidio 3400 from bestbuy, and I hate the battery cover for the seidio. The anker is much thinner, and feels better in the hand.
For now here are some pics.

It does not fit in the original back. It comes with an extended.

Not too bad, might just get this

Yeah, to drop it right on your toe. That thing's HUGE!
I think if feels good. The seidio isnt much bigger, but the anker case is much better. Sorry I cant get any better pics. For $12, its worth it.
The seller has decided to send me a new back case, since the original one came cracked. I will update when it arrives.

Just like he said 12 bucks for it can't go wrong even tho its big if you get a lot of battery juice more bang for your buck. Looks nice .
Weird... There is a galileo battery that is 2400mah and it fits under the stock battery door..... Something isn't right....
Edit: nevermind now people are saying it's probably a fake.
Hello,
Few days before i got an anker 3500mah battery. I found it very impressive. just to see where it stands i just run antutu benchmark. it was started from 100% full charge to 15%.
it was running all the night.
just to check the accuracy, i tried it for another night. result was almost same.
It was quite good. cpu usage 100%, brightness full, wifi on, bluetooth on.
and I got 765 score. which was on second place after motorola zoom.
just see image.

Its just a brand new battery, hrd that after some recharge cycle it will enhance more.
may be after switching off wifi and bluetooth,we can get better score.
I need backup, as i travel a lot. This one, i found to be nice, good cheap replacement. although it makes phone bit bulky, but doesnt matter. back cover is good enough.
Ok..how about some real results like what the stock battery stats says? The graph will look like this

So... Is this battery good for the Evo 3D?
I got this from ebay in 19$, sure I will just try to get that stat. Till yet I have not tested it thoroughly, as my number is not yet ported. But in a day it will, I will full charge it, use it as heavily and let you know an legit review, worth a buying or not.

does this battery lose its power after some time?
does this battery work as a real 3500mah battery?
Would you mind getting Battery Monitor Widget (free) and running a Calibration and report your result? the method/instruction are posted in this thread

I just got the 2650mah rated extended battery. Will post a review once it goes through a few cycles.

Awesome, thanks for doing the review. I've been on the fence about ordering this batt.
Hello where did you buy and how much?
You can get it at mugen power website. So far it had been disappointing (stock performs better) however let's see after a few cycles.

extended for an extra 150mah? not worth it...
Where is the review
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Aftermarket batteries are crap. OEM's spend millions on battery research. Aftermarket battery companies spend a fraction of that, hence why their batteries blow chunks. Don't waste your money.
Yeah on second thought 2650mah is only like a 6% increase in battery life?
I'll have to agree. Not enough return for the price. I'm waiting to see if seidio comes out with 5,000 mAh extended like I keep hearing about
seidio has there battery available now.

I finished testing it and will post a full review along with pictures (for proof?) later tonight. Currently at work so unable to do so.
But for anyone looking to buy, I say don't waste your money. The extra minutes isn't worth the $45-50... I am returning it and buying another stock for $25.
Also I apologize for the delay for the review
If you want extended battery life, buy the Anker.
Anyone purchased any of the 2800 may batteries off eBay?
Curious if they really are more power or its just another lie.
Is there a good aftermatket extended battery out there?

Well it all depends on your needs and taste.
I dislike big rounded styluses so I ordered a Samsung C Pen which works great for me!.
Cases, well I got a few but nothing so far that I call amazing. As for Battery back ups, there is one that is 4500mAh and outputs 1A which I saw a nice review for it on youtube and feedback seems to be a good choice.
Like this one

Sony's CP12 Power Cover is a 3000mAh battery case with flip cover & stand and comes with such a stylus. It comes with a magnetic charge cable to charge the battery & phone. It's mains charging process charges the phone's battery before it tops up the case's battery, when the case is charging the phone's battery, when the phone hits 100%, the case stops supplying power.

The stylus is extendable, BTW. The case does add a little more width to this already large phone, but it still fits in the front pockets of my slacks.
Yeah note for 139 I don't think I can do that for a case that seems a bit to steep for me I saw a couple on amazon for about 30 buck but I'll check out the Samsung c pen out
