The reason why i bought this battery is because i wanted to end my work shift with at least 20-30 percent(on a single battery) f obattery left to make phone call if needed, extend my phone usage away from a charger and longer web searching and the Andida 2000mAh didn't help at all. The result
OEM Battery 1500mAh: listening to music from 4 to 1am = 10% battery life left
Andida 2000mAh: ran 3 test each time my phone ended up dying around 11:30-12:00 this battery is not 2000mAh it somewhere around 1100-1300 it make an good back up battery but not an good extended battery.
I well be running some more test, like how long it last on 3G compared to the OEM battery but as of now i see theres no need to.
If you need an extra battery this is worth the money, but if you need an extended battery its not.
I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Haven't seen anything Earth-shattering as far as performance under normal use, but I watched a 2 and half hour movie on the device yesterday and it only went down to 50%.

i listen to alot of music etc etc daily when im at work so that when i would be able to see if its really a big change. I always end the night with about 10 percent of battery life.
Not terrible
I'm using a pair of these, with an external charger. I don't see that they provide a lot of advantage over the original HTC 1500Ma battery that came with my TP2, but they are an acceptable substitute.
One thing to keep in mind - I think they are heavier than the stock batteries. They are advertised as LiPoly, but I think they are LiIon.

It's under $10. Even if it's only as good as the stock battery it is well worth the money considering the stock one costs about $40. Even an OEM off eBay is as much as $16.

for an extended battery it not, i was looking for extended battery life without having to switch to another battery but this battery didnt do its job 2000mAh i don't think so its at least 1100-1300 i notice my battery died faster even on normal usage compared to the OEM. I honestly had enough of it :\... about to add some MM to my TP2 and get a bigger battery.

You are using the US T-Mobile version, from what I can see in the pix you posted; the only one available is the Mugen 3200, it runs about $79. I have not considered it because it really makes the back of the phone stick out. And it is expensive.
I buyed an used Touch pro 2. so i dunno how was the OEM battery when it was new. When i replaced with this 2000 mAh it nearly double up the battery life. From my site there is full satisfaction.

Aside from the poor English in your post, there's no way a 2000mAh battery is giving you double the battery life or even close to it. It is only 33% higher capacity than the stock battery.

For $45 they better plan on coming by 2x a week to clean the lime-stain ring from the toilet bowl. For a "china-model" battery that's absurdly high.
But I am interested to see when this one goes to market if they've figured out how to produce a battery that'll charge inside the phone.
Not sure why ATT pisses off their customers by having Samsung spec a phone which requires customers to purchase batteries and phone parts direct from ATT. So annoying.
Anyone get it yet? I might order one on payday and report back unless someone beats me to it.

Bump.
Anyone using it? I'm considering getting it if anyone else has had a positive experience.
That seems kind of expensive. See the other thread where Hyperion is selling 2x1800 batteries and charger for $25 on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Samsung-Galaxy-Battery-Charger/dp/tech-data/B005XOHQ6Y/ref=de_a_smtd
No idea which is better but if Hyperion can provide this I would think Mugen could as well at the same price point. I would wait till it's cheaper or get the Hyperion. Hyperion model already has some good reviews on Amazon.
Doesn't the Hyperion have the bootloop problem with our phones

Hyperion has released a new one, specifically for the AT&T, that doesn't cause the boot loop. The reviews on the Amazon page so far has confirmed this.
Nevermind. Just saw the link.

http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams..._47?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1321325447&sr=1-47
i would like to hear how the battery life is with this battery
Any significant increases in battery life? I've heard mixed reviews on the hyperion products.
Also the Amazon description says to use their charger? Any dangers with using the Samsung charger?
Just ordered one to try. Delivery is in about two weeks. I'll report back then.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
I dunno about hyperion but Mugen does give a chart that there is about 9% more juice in the 1800mAh battery...I think if you need a real increase it's better to check a solution with a backcover. 3200mah could do. I used 3300mah on my Nexus S and it was great.
So these extended batteries don't have nfc and they won't charge inside the phone correct?
Mugen Battery will last 1.09 times as long!
it reads" Mugen Battery will last 1.09 times as long!"
WOW that's allot!!! 9 %

Lol, exactly what I've been thinking. Until lithium ion is replaced, the physical size of a battery is a strong indicator of how long it will last. If it's 'barely' bigger. It will last 'barely' longer.

received the battery today. I'll let you guys know in a few days how it is. Gotta run some tests.

That's exiting. Will you be posting a topic about it?
Alright results are in and I'm sorry to say. The mugen battery did not outperform the stock samsung battery. Although it was close. When I got the battery I fully charged and discharged it 5 times as the manufacturer recommended. I did a simple test
1: brightness 100%
2: screen on 100%
3: Pandora streaming 100%
mugen=
Start: 4.190v
End: 3.16v
Total: 5.34hrs
Samsung=
Start: 4.190v
End: 3.025v
Total: 5.49hrs
I know we were all hopefulyhat this would be a better battery. Maybe my testing wasnt the best method, if you guys have a better way let me know so I can retest.

I bought the official Samsung extended battery and am happy with it - at least I'm confident the battery will survive the whole day, whereas the original battery was dead before I finished work...! :-(
Whatever you do, don't buy those chinese 3500mah batteries. They are worse than SGS2's stock battery

Have heard this too - that's why I went for original Samsung... Possibly more expensive but genuine!
I would go with the samsung official extended battery, as the non official ones are not very trust worthy.
Hey,
I was trawling the internet for some cheap extended batteries. (my only other experience with them was the official HTC one for the HD2).
I heard someone saying that there is a good 3500mah one going on Amazon for £11. I'm presuming he meant this as it is the first result: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-3500M...A9ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333452409&sr=8-1
After a quick search on ebay I found the same battery for £5.99! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3500mah-H...ltDomain_3&hash=item256aa12a8e#ht_2235wt_1024
But is it any good? Has anyone had any prior experience with unbranded batteries?
Thanks,
Louis
never go for it, no use, this are fake chinese battery, i got one for evo 4g. it was told to be 3500 but it was not even 1000 mah.

That is usually true for the batteries that sit inside the original casing, but not the extended ones?
I am saying abt extended one, same battery which you are asking for.

I got this on amazon and has been doing calibration with the battery monitor widget and its calibrating out to at least 2500mah. One peculiar thing is the first 40% or so drop by very fast, but then from 50-30 percent it last a lot longer, this has been notice by another poster also. the battery door is also decent, first generation soft touch rubber coating type material and not as ugly as the Seidio door

So can you please give me a rough estimate on how much longer this battery lasts? And would you recommend it over the stock battery?

You buy many spare batteries for the amount an original battery costs. One spare battery made in China is about € 2,50.
What the real capacity is doesn't matter, as long it does it job as spare battery, you can always order a second one.
Also would it be better to buy the 3500mah and use that as primary. or buy something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805
And use it as a secondary battery? Which would provide the best overall battery life?

that is hard to say, because everybody usage pattern is different, but even if its only 2500mah it still comes to 50% more capacity then the stock 1700mah.
Last night charge cycle adjust it to about 2700 mah, I don't think its settle down yet, seem the more charge history the widget collect the more accurate the calibration should be.

Thats true. But, seriously i was not happy with the backup it provides. It was 50% of the oem.
as in for spare this is great. you can also try anker one, its great and cheap.
btw, it was about extended.

Guys dont trust some of these batteries. I bought a few of these similar type batteries cause they were really cheap 2 for $9.99 with charger. This has been discussed to death already. I bought another set of 3x + 1 charger. They didnt last long at all. I peeled the stickers on all of them at they were all had 1000mah stamped on it but the sticker says 1800mah. This has been pointed out here before too. It was a complete waste of time and a hassle trying to get my $ back. Seller didnt bother taking the batteries back. For the total of $20 I spent and headache I couldve just bought and anker or chichitec. Which I did. I bought 2x 1900mah anker + charger for 24.99 a while back and they have been great. Been using them for 10 months now and last slightly longer than stock. I will look for the thread so you guys can do some reading but it did get pretty lengthy. Spend the extra $5 or even $10 and dont go for these cheap batteries.
Here's the thread. Take time to read it and it may be worth your trouble later down the road.

good afternoon guys
of you wanted to know if these Chinese batteries (2000mah or 3400 mah) are really good?
because our original is 1650mAh and finishes very fast, it will be with some of these Chinese improves?
someone here uses?
anxious for the answer. hugs
Bit of a lottery. Some people seem to have good experiences with them, others not. Only way to find out is to try yourself; see if you can get one with the ability to get a refund if you don't like it (which is what I did).
Edit to clarify - My experience was a negative one - 3rd party battery was nowhere near rated capacity, and suffered significant overheating issues when charging, hence I got a refund. Other posters are on the money, 2000mAh Samsung battery is the go.
You must buy only original samsung battery 2000mah . It will give you best result compare to stock one
