2450 is little bit stronger but not much. It cost around $6.00 so why dont try it.
Generally speaking these cheap batteries from places like Ebay are crap. You get what you pay for, as in you pay more you get more.

I'm still using the original OEM battery that shipped with the device and it does me fine.
My advice was more general in that I'd advise you to go for a more expensive extended battery from a reputable company instead of a bargain one that's not likely to offer any real improvement.

So does anyone have any more information about this battery like reviews or MaH capacity.
It's probably 3500. Best buy has two reviews that are positive. Please tell us if and where we can get these for that price. I have cash ready to buy one of these.

Hell, that is pretty good for the price Even of its only the 3400mah version from seidio! I'm sure the $75 4000 MaH from siedio isn't really 4000, probably around 3500 to 3700.
Lol, caliboy refuses to say where he got it from. In assuming it's used at that price an the fact that it doesn't come with the door...

Is there any standard sized extended batteries out there that don't change the form factor of the phone but give more juice?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...d-battery-for-atandt-samsung-galaxy-s-ii.html
I believe you can find it on amazon for cheaper.
There is one by Hyperion on Amazon. 1800 mAh but I can't comment on how good it actually is
Thanks for the speedy responses. I'll look into those
Make sure to report back how it works. The hyperion one mentioned above is not supposed to cause the boot loop problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Make sure it's the i777 one, they just released it and like mentioned above its supposed to remedy the boot loop issue that the i9100 caused.
Good info, ill order one and check it out too
I just received my hyperion battery today and I can say its just a Lil bit lighter and thinner then the original battery. Out of curiosity are we suppose to drain these battery first because I just put it in my phone and charged it.

Hey! Mugen Power has a OEM sized extended battery for AT&T SGS2
1800mAh man
Also they have a super-big one: 3200mAh
The actual answer is no.
batteryboss.org
alice0223 said:
Yes. There is a very reliable one where I bought several times from them.
mugen-power-batteries.com
Normally for one model they have the standard size with extend capacity and another super size with 2-3 times capacity of the standard one. I have tried HTC Sensation's extended battery, works great on my HTC.
Hope you can find what you need. Besides, they ship to all over the world for free!

The HTC Sensation is a special case because it shares batteries with the Evo 3D, but other phones either you're buying something with the same capacity as the stock battery, or less.
If OEMs could make a battery with more capacity in the same space, we have to ask ourselves, why wouldn't they do it?
Exactly... The amount of money they spend on the battery technology alone is crazy. In the old days before smart phones motorola lived and bashed on good battery life... It was the selling point for phones... Until smart phones. But in my opinion it's even more important
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Its difficult to quantify battery life as its so subjective to actual use/ user habits.
That said, battery technology is pretty good and consistent. You can only get so much "juice" in a battery given its size.
samsung made a 2000 mAh for the euro galaxy s 2, it ads just a little bit of thickness
I would agree with the claims that battery life is nearly impossible to extend but I personally really noticed how much battery life went up with my Inspire when I tried going back to the OEM battery with my normal daily use I'd do with the extended battery. It was incredible what a difference a few hundred mAh make
Sent from my Samsung GT-I9100
It'd be hella nice to get a 2000 mAh battery with NFC support for less than $40.
is this for oyr note?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006T...mp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B006TKDS54
Holy Bejeezus. Looks like it will make the note a brick and a half, but the battery life could be ridiculous depending on how good the quality is. I know a lot of times the mAh are exaggerated on off brand batteries, but at 20 bucks somebody should definitely give this a go.
This should probably be in the accessories section though.
I saw another post from a guy saying he gets a day and a half on moderate use and about a day with heavy use... Im a bit curious too

Thanks for being the guinea pig! Be sure to post some battery tests as well to compliment the pictures. Nothing too serious, just a comparison of a rundown vs. the stock battery with your normal use would be enough.
If it is able to make it through 2 days, this would definitely be the first extended battery that I would be interested in. For my previous phones, infuse and captivate, the extended batteries cannot make it through a full two days, making them pointless in my opinion. A full two days would be useful for trips and whatnot.
if its not a OEM product I won't even look at it! I pay all my phones full price I won't take the risk!

I'm sure your stock battery is just as likely to do the same. Hyperion is an established company that makes both normal and extended batteries for a wide variety of devices that I have seen, not just some no name piece of crap. And if your battery starts feeling warm, I'm sure you would have enough time to remove it before it explodes.
Your logic is like this: I pay 20k for a new car, so I'm not going to buy any aftermarket battery, because it could blow up. Have fun paying more for a replacement battery if you ever need one.

I don't have this battery but I did get two 2600mah batteries from hyperion and a charger for 25 bucks and they work fine
I ordered it as well. Will report with pics and results.
Are we sure this will fit our att notes. I dont see anything saying it will.. unlike here

If this company is reliable, and their product is great, then there's no problem using it. I was talking about cheap battery you can find on ebay in general. Just make sure that you're using a good battery. If it got on fire or exploded, say goodbye to your phone's manufacturer warranty.

Yes, battery can get on fire or explode. Google it. even the batteries from manufacturer can do that (but in this case, manufacturer warranty covers your phone)

If aftermarket battery is reliable (3M, AAA, etc), I won't mind getting it for my 50k car.
And I'm not saying that this Hyperion brand is not good. I'm saying I don't know about it, if you want to get it, make sure that you do your research that it's good and don't just go cheap on it.
I know they can catch on fire and explode but you seem to have a better chance of winning the lottery.
Those battery covers are for international and chinese Note, even though the white one says "AT&T i717". Those Hyperion covers don't have a NFC antenna, so you lose NFC capabilities, if you use them.
And when nfc works on att and i have places in my area that have nfc the note 2 will probley be out....

I received it today, the back cover doesn't snap in right so there's no way for me to test it, needless to say the size makes it giant and holding it is just a task on its own

Hi
I'm new here and was hoping to get a bit of advise. I need to get a new battery for an old Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100) and I have been having a look on Amazon. I know the correct battery I need but what troubles me is the amount of conflicting reviews on the batteries. Almost all of them have 50/50 people saying they work or don't work and it gets even worse when you try to look for a genuine Samsung battery with most of the reviews claiming that they are not in fact genuine Samsung.
What I'm hoping is that one of you have bought one in the past that worked okay either genuine or non genuine (it just needs to work) and that you remember which one it was you bought so I can take a look at that one too. At the moment I'm just confused by all the noise in the reviews and haven't got a clue which I should be going with.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah that's the trouble now though as it's such an old phone most shops don't stock them so you have to look online. You mention that you got a 2000mah battery, do these work okay then? I thought I'd have to get a 1650mah as that's what came with the phone? Can you put any mah? in the phone?
use the 2000 mah, samsung made it special for s2 and is a great battery i bought it 2 months ago from store so they still make them

Any info on which replacement batteries are reliable and when they will be available. So far I've only seen some cheap ones on eBay that I assume will be garbage in comparison to the one that comes with the neo.
Why worry so soon? The original batt is great and batt life is much better than Note 2.

Since one of the biggest reasons I bought this device was for the replaceable battery, I like to have a spare just incase in my bag or something if I forget to charge it and don't have the time to.
Hi blcistheking, Did you end up finding batteries? My Dad purchased the same phone (on-line) and is unable to get replacement batteries easily. I'm hoping you may be able to recommend a good battery / supplier. Cheers, D
