Just got my Hyperion 6200mah better from Amazon for about 20 bucks with shipping. Used a dremel to mod my otter box defender like in the other threads which worked wonderfully. Currently doing the initial 12 hour charge cycle. Will post updates to battery life during the first four or five cycles and then do a final update once the battery has been broken in after the initial max to min cycles. Hadn't seen anyone else post any stats or review this one yet on here. I have an anker 6200 on the way as well so I will compare the two once I receive that one as well. Decided to test these two before taking the plunge on a 106.00 mugen 6400. Hopefully I won't have a reason to buy the mugen after these two are broken in.
Cool, hope the battery is good
Would you mind posting a link for how to mod the defender, im interested but cant find the topic
Thanks

I don't think it tells you an exact process on how to do it but has pics. The way I marked for my cuts was to put the Hyperion in and place the back cover over top, lining it up exactly where the tabs fit in then flipping it over carefully and picking the phone up letting the battery come out exactly where it sits in the battery slot. I then used a marker to trace around the battery and used a cutting wheel attachment to trace the guide marks then smoothed the jagged edges from the cuts with the flat edge of the wheel. After that, I just placed the modified back into the backing of the otter box hard shell making sure to line it up exactly and then trace the opening of the stock back and then cut the guide marks with the same cutting wheel and just kept sanding down the edges of the cuts until smooth. Hope this helps
Unplugged the phone after the twelve hour initial charge at about 10:30am and have been constantly browsing the Web and downloading with live wallpaper and screen at max brightness. It is now 3pm and I am at 91% battery. I received my anker 6200mah today and have it on charge so once I drain the Hyperion all the way I will be starting my test with it also. Getting bored of messing with my phone but I want to try to drain this battery so I can try the anker tomorrow but I don't know if I will be able to. Maybe I will just loop a hi Def movie for the rest of the day or something. I need to fully charge and discharge 4-5 times to get the battery to max capacity but at this rate that will take forever lol. Will keep updating as the day goes on. This battery seems to be a beast so far though

Play the game Tower Raiders 3, that drops the battery level at a pretty alarming rate! The SiriusXM app is a close second.
Please do a review of both of the extended batteries once you get them all settled. Im sure its a pain to run that much battery down multiple times, but thank you for doing it!

Will do. I only posted this here because of the other post about the anker. I have been constantly playing games and Web browsing all day and I have only gotten it down to 61 so far. I'll start a thread in accessories to update from this point forward once I have everything broken in and have been using the phone as I normally would. When I'm working and have the phone on me and don't get to use it that much, I'm sure I will be going for a couple of days without charging but we will see very soon.

Just got my hyperion in and installed. Quality is better than what I expected for the price. Also got the tpu case in however the case seems to not fit as tight on one side of the phone.
Pretty darn good value and quality for less than $30. I'm excited to see how long it will last me. I never have wifi so my usage won't be as good as some but I'm still optimistic.

That's fine and that wasn't a"Oh wrong section" comment. I was actually trying to find a review for somebody and couldn't but had to search general and accessories because you never know. But I checked accessories first because there's where it should be. So all I was saying is to put the review where it should be so it's easy to find.

Hello XDA. Another post to try and help the community. I just received my order from eBay and wanted to share.
So I decided to buy some extra batteries to have on hand so as not to run out of juice. In the process, I also wanted a separate charger to keep them charged. To my amazement, I found the Anker charger WITH 2 replacement batteries for $14.99 shipped from a California seller!
I also ordered a Hyperion desktop dock that has a built in charger for an extra battery. This dock should arrive later this week but also a California seller off eBay! I'll post when that arrives.
Anyway, back to the Anker. Packaging is nice. It's in retail packaging as if it's sold in stores. Comes with instructions too! The charger is universal and can charge many different styles of batteries. It also has a USB port to charge another item while it's charging battery. The other nice thing is it will charge from a wall outlet OR a car charger! The mini USB plug is also on the side with the USB port. I'm not so sure on the charging pins however as they seem a bit thin and will require to be lined up every time a battery is inserted. The pins slide from right to left to allow for different size batteries. That's another issue. The battery for the Note is so big that it has to sit off to one side to allow for the charging pins to make contact.
The batteries are also retail packaged and come with instructions. They are White in color... Matches my Note.... And seem about the same weight. They are listed at 2500Mah but I have yet to try them out for longevity.
There are many pics I've taken to try and paint a picture as to what you'll get if you decide to order. Hopefully this will help someone who may want or need them. Any questions, let me know!
Here goes:

The seller is laptopmate_usa. I have no affiliation with said seller nor can I vouch for them but I will say, shipped fast and free. They have a great feedback too. I figured it might be faster for anyone searching for this deal if I gave the name of the seller.
Hopefully these items will work and provide long lasting performance. If not, it was only $14.99.....

let us know the life for one full charge plz...
I got something similar for my Xperia Play last year. I only wanted the charger but it came with two batteries and was only £10 or £15.
I expected the two batteries to be useless but here I am a year later still using them, sometimes for weeks at a time as my primary battery as I tend to charge my phone a lot so it helps keep the official battery good for longer.
The batteries are of course not as good as the official one, probably around 75-80% as good but I have been very happy with them so far. So even if these batteries are similar that is money well spent in my opinion.
i got it at amazon at the same price 14.99$ (2 batteries and charger) with GUARANTEE 2 days deliver! i'm a Prime member. maybe due to popular demand, they raised the price to 16.99$ on amazon now.

i just use it like any other battery, charge it and use it.
after i got these inexpensive batteries, i havnt use the original samsung battery!
these anker battery last me the whole day just like original samsung battery. (i charge it when i go sleep).
the only time i swap battery is when phone battery is getting low or i forgot to charge it.
I also bought this same Anker deal for my Galaxy S -- off the same guy. They seemed to work as well as stock, though I didn't do any testing. They were supposed to be 300 mah bigger then stock -- I didn't notice a diference. Funny thing is it was more expensive for the batteries for my Galaxy S that are smaller then these haha. Anyways I'm not a huge fan of the charger. It says in the manual to not leave your battery charging for more then 24 hours, so I assume that means it continues to charge the battery after it reaches 100% and you'll want to take your battery off as soon as possible to avoid degradation. The charger is also made for any battery so it has these awkward sliding pins you have to set on your batteries + and - each time which can be a little annoying. Other then that, great buy.

Well, first charge cycle was in the 10.5 hour range with 3:25 minutes on screen. Charged it from %1 overnight so lets see what day 2 brings. I leave the wifi on as well as GPS and I'm in an LTE area with so-so signal. My average life is 12-13 hours with 2.5-3 hours screen so if I get the same oit of these, I'd be just fine with that.

Mugen Power 5400mAh Extended Battery for AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-i717 w/ Battery Door
Just got it in the mail today. I'll post more later.
First impressions are:
1) great sturdy battery door, very good fit
2) total height is approx 11 quarters (SEE PICS)
3) adds approx 9.55mm
4) Battery weights 97 grams (FYI, OEM battery weights 50 grams)
Day 2: The included instructions said to charge the battery (in the phone) for 8-12 hrs. So I just finished that step and will report in tonight with some battery stats. I hadn't looked for cases (I didn't use one prior to getting the Mugen extended batery).
Day 3: 25 hrs on battery w/ 25% left (with moderate to heavy use throughout the day and night). I'm a true believer that this battery is the real deal. The extra thickness is a drawback but the way the battery door tapers does help some. I don't know how to test the NFC capabilities with the new battery door, maybe someone can tell me a way to do this. The inside to the battery door sure looks like it has the NFC hardware built in.
Day 4: 24 hrs since last charge with 68% battery left (low to moderate use).
Power Brick!!! Hows the battery life compared to stock?
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I like it... do you know if there any cases to support the extra size?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah have you found any cases? I guess I wouldn't mind then extra size for almost double their battery life. I'm guessing they Otter box won't fit on it? Also is it really that much bigger have you gotten used to it? Are all hopes lost for trying to fit it into your pocket?

Reply: (Kickstand) The kickstand is sturdy (with no side-to-side movement when deployed at all). It stays in the battery door and only comes out when its pulled out. I guess time will tell if it stays this way. (NFC) Yes, the gold contacts are inside the battery boor. I still have not tested the NFC, mainly because I don't know how when running Gingerbread. (Charging) The phone can be on or off while the battery charges when plugged in. (Carrying Around) The size (the weight is fine) is taking some getting used to. I do like the way the extended battery door tapers.

REPLY: The battery life is noticeably more. The second night I was trying to drain it as fast as I could. After about one hour of tethering, video playback, max screen brightness, virus scanning, and continually syncing all running at the same time, the battery dropped from 35% to around 27% of charge left. I was trying to get the battery low so I could start another 8-12 hrs charge (per the battery's initializing instructions), but gave up and had to charge it the next day after lunch when the battery had 15% left.
Oh wow lol seems to be pretty good then so when you carry it do you put it I'm your pocket is it comfortable?

There is an app on the market specifically for the purposes of draining the battery as fast as possible. It does this by turning every feature on the phone on (LED for the camera, uploading data via the cellular network, screen brightness at max and several others as well), you can select manually which items you specifically dont want to use (for example, cellular data might be an issue if you are on a limited plan). You need to be careful however, draining the battery too quickly raises the temp of the battery VERY fast. I ran it on the stock battery and in 10 minutes, the battery temp jumped to over 50 degrees C (someone can convert this to F, right now Im a bit too sleepy to do the math) and drained the stock battery from 90% to 62% in this same ten minute period. Search the market for battery drain and look for a description that isnt in very good English, the screenshots will show a list of 5-8 checkboxes with things to do to drain the battery quickly.
Does such a thing exist? The battery life on the DNA is killing me, I am considering trading this back to VZW for the Galaxy S3 since I'm still in my 14 day trial.
Basically I'm looking for a case that you "charge" and doubles as a case and a charger, once the charge on the case runs out, it goes back to the battery.

Sounds like you have a faulty device. My battery life has been nothing but excellent compared to my Galaxy Nexus. Also, the SGS III is going to get about the same battery life as the DNA.

Somethings wrong with your phone if you have to charge it 4 times in a day. There aren't enough hours in a day for that to be necessary. Even if you don't sleep and never put your phone down.

I also love to play various games on my phone a lot throughout the day to waste time, play a lot YouTube for my kids, I stream all of my music since there is a huge lack of storage on this device & also have to rely on Dropbox for all of my pictures and videos. I know that I could probably get away with letting my phone go down to around 15% or so and then charging it fully and then go on about my day from there, however I just never know when I may have to leave.

People see me as a computer geek and as so expect me to be able to whatever on my phone at a moments notice. Which sucks when we are at a checkout and need to use someone elses number for a pin and my battery is dead.

I don't believe this is the typical way to guage a battery's life span. Basically what you are saying is that you would need to charge your battery from empty twice a day. Given the amount of use put on your phone that is extremely good. That's about 10 hours of screen on time and there are very few phones that come close to that. The note2 being the one exception I can think of off the top of my head. It's not a problem with your phone it's a symptom of how you use it.

Don't get me wrong here, I am not trying to talk down the battery performane of the DNA. I am just rough on my phones and have always been. I don' ever remember getting a full day use out of a smart phone except for when I used the EVO 3D with a Seidio 4,000 MAh extended battery. I have always been the kind of person that doesnt feel like I should limit use or features on my device just to conserve battery drain, I do know that this is all my choice and I have to deal with it.

Basically I'm looking for a case that you "charge" and doubles as a case and a charger, once the charge on the case runs out, it goes back to the battery.

Ironic, my DNA gets a few more hours of battery than my S3 does. Just to warn you so you don't start this same thread in the S3 forum....

I've also been wondering about who made some nice mophie style juicepack cases. I loved them on my iphone, I barely used it, but when I needed it certain days it was really nice to have. I'll be getting my girlfriend a DNA, and I know it's something she's been wanting also since our late poodle (RIP lil Oscar) at the top half of the one for her iphone.
I actually get about 12 hours of hard usage, with very light I've seen 30. I haven't seen better battery life on anything I've owned.

If u barely touch ya phone I'm sure ull get that battery life. In those 12 to 30 hour days what's your screen on time? If it's a hour or 2 then all that mean is the phone is good at not draining while idol which means nothing to me.

Sooooo does anybody have a lead on a charging case?
I don't think it exists for this phone closest thing your going to get is a portable battery bank which can be plugged into the device to charge it but that's about it.

I get an average of 3-4 hours screen on time per charge and that's usually stretched over 12-15 hours...

Just curious to know who else uses a spare battery? i bought a recharger kit like the one in pic and love it. just pop the cover, take battery out and replace with the fresh one and your good to go.

Except this is more of a discussion about the question, not really Q&A material.
OP I don't use one, mainly because I don't have one if I did I would probably use it.
No offence OP, but this should be in the accessories forum, I do believe, so on your behalf ©®™ for moving
Bought two anker batteries at the same time I bought the phone, the Samsung battery is still in the box and I've never used the phone to charge. Swap the battery between the phone and charger every second morning, it's the first smart phone I've not had to worry about battery life.
Galaxy S III has a really good battery life so I don't use an extended battery

I've always been a battery swapper since the early Nokia days. Can't bear the thought of not having a fresh battery there ready to go when I am. No waiting for phone to charge at the last minute when heading out of the door.
Ah, maybe I should note that for most tasks I use my Nexus 7 :laugh:. Oops-a-daisy. I use Galaxy S 3 mainly for music and when I study on bus. No gaming or movies.

boomboomer I was looking at the anker batteries when i first got the phone last year too.. but ended up going with this official samsung kit that had a spare that game with it. What capacity Anker's did you end up getting? I had a look at those big 4400mAh ones as a backup for when travelling overseas but never went through with getting one.
the one thing i hated about the iphone 4 I had last was waiting for sufficient charge whenever I had to quickly be somewhere unexpectedly. Some times Id go out for a few beers in the evening with a low charge thinking id be home soon.. end up having many, many more and so Id end up with a dead phone as im trying to find a way home.
Can honestly say that I havent ever had that issue again since investing in this phone and extra battery haha.
The ankers are the same physical size as the standard battery, just 2200mAh. The only draw back is the capacity drops quickly once below 10%, but I usually swap battery when it gets below 20%.

I use one. love it. All Samsung Galaxy S III phones ships with an extra battery so why not use it? So convenient to have one always charged in the battery charger and your phone charged with wireless charging. Qi!
R: [Q] Anyone else use spare battery?
I bkught a 2800mah battery a while ago...great, lasts a lot.
If i ever need another battery i will put back the old one...i could of course get ANOTHER 2800 and then keep switchingg it...but it would be tiresome...thats why they made rechargeable batterues in the first place...as soon as the battery wears out (5months my guess it will be 40-50% worse than when u first started using it) get another one. If you go on a trip and forget the charger, pop spare under the hood and hit low energy mode!

I was looking around spare battery for my new Note 3 and found some of the same size as original. I had one of those mpj batteries for my previous S3. It probably exaggerate their specs, but still managed to squeeze several hundred more mah and worked good even five months later. Much better than my OEM one out of amazon. Thought it was still worth a roll of the dice to go back to a replacement battery from them. Just received mine yesterday, didn’t measure how much longer but I assume it lasts me 1-2 hrs more before it died.
Edit: I think the battery is still be good condition.
Cheers
ive actually ordered one of these with the added NFC, i hope it goes well. will post here specs also.

I've ordered one as well. I'm curious how long it will hold up. How long did it take for shipping?

Do a full review please. I am also thinking about buying it.
I normally get 5-6 hours of on screen time with stock battery at 60% brightness.
Would it be real? I mean 4500mah in the same size?

It probably adds 10% amount of the new stock battery, but still think it is a good replacement:cyclops:impressive for 20 bucks.
Mine arrived today, its the same size and backcase fits on fine. Im currently charging it up. it came with 57% charge but so far, a episode of the walking dead (40 mins) took 8% battery with full brightness.

That sounds not bad
After a night of full charge, i took it off and battery drained 4% in 2 mins 30 seconds. Only had wifi of and did not do anything heavy other than check email. Not good! ill see how i go through out the day,.
Im hoping this will be sorted after a few recharge cycles etc..but i may have to have the stock battery as a backup!
My sister ordered one and it arrived few days ago. Screen on 38% and at 10 hrs she was still at 70% left.
If anyone has this battery or any extended battery please download gsam in the market it will give you the exact voltage of your battery for example see picture. . This is my stock Battery it's low because my phone currently needs a charge but I would imagine that of someone had an extended battery that was fully charge it would give you the accurate mah so we can see what batteries are legit on ebay and amazon and share with our fellow xda users

What what I recall, with smartphone batteries, the first 15% will always discharge faster. remember, percentage isn't rate.
