Hi
Seeing a bunch of 3100mah batteries on ebay for about $13 or so.
I know there has been stability (auto shut off) problems with anything but stock batteries, so do any of you use higher mAH batteries and how stable has it been?
Also, is 3100mah about as high as it gets for our Notes ?
Would welcome any recommendations for places to buy quality battery as well. Thanks
Try looking in the accessory section. Many battery threads there.

Got my BA (sx66) recently and while I love this thing, the battery life compared to my old 6315 is better than expected, but for how much I am away from a desk I would definately like a little bigger battery.
I've read all the posts in this forum on extended batteries but I don't seem to find anyone doing a review of the battery after they have it. There seems to be quite a few different batteries available so I think a battery roundup would help with a few peoples deicisions, myself included.
First off, current shipping batteries, I've seen mentions to a 1900mah battery, a 2000mah battery, an older mugen 2200(?)mah battery, the current 2400 and 3300 mugen batteries. Are there any more I am missing?
Some pictures of the batteries in the device to get an idea of size increase would be great! If you got them lets see them! I can provide webhosting if needed so email me at [email protected] with the subject involving HTC BA Battery or something similar.
Compatible accessories. Do any of these batteries fit in the cradle? If so do they fit in the extra battery charging spot? What cases do you know they do not fit in properly, and what ones do they fit properly.
Last but not least, where did you buy it and how do you rate the battery. Does it give as much of a life increase as the size increase would indicate?
Lets see it! This is the greatest PDA community around I know we can get a real nice roundup together.
Well this thread seems to be getting rather ignored.. I too would be interested in a battery roundup!
If I get one I will leave comments here!
dear saq,
it's a good idea to have a battery round up. So that the users in this forum can know the quality of the battery on the market.
But I do have a suggestion, I think you need to do a more details testing with all the environment the same...for the battery testing.
In case you have any question about the mugen power battery you can contact me.....

This may not be 2500mah although it says it is. bcz it has to be much thicker if it was 2500. If you are willing to spend like $45 you can get the official samsung 2000mAh battery which is the best
Yep. Get a genuine Samsung 2000mAh. Been using one for over 12 mths & it's still going strong.
Tried a generic 3500mAh battery in late 2011, found capacity was closer to 2200mAh after a week of testing & it got seriously hot (high 40's C) when charging so I returned it & bought the OEM battery. YMMV may vary tho if you do get a generic battery; just as many people on here say some of them work well as people like me who think they're rubbish
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

i am using the original 2000mah for a long time and it is just great, amazing battery life
I've been checking my battery life (see pictures) and I don't find normal that is consumption is so high only for having the screen on and using it for normal things (whatsapping, browsing...). What do you think? may be battery defective? I bought it as it was the original (I think it was a fake one) but I don't have the impression it has the same performance I had when I bought my phone.
In case you think it's the battery, could you please refer me to a seller link in which a battery you recommend is being sold?.
Thanks in advance.
PS: pics 1 and 2 | 3 and 4 are related.
I have been reading about people buying "original" samsung batteries and most of them seems to be a fake. Then, its performance is just bad!. Then, I've seen that anker are good batteries. What do you think?
Thanks!
There's nothing abnormal in your Battery usage statistics. The S3 uses an AMOLED screen so it needs more battery than other screens.
Try to reduce the Brightness to the lowest / put it on Auto. And try using a dark Wallpaper.
Thanks, I was already using autobright with -5. I wonder all of this because I've seen stats of having 1d or more and 4-5 hours of screen. I don't know if these people own a higher capacity battery (e.g. 4400mah of Anker) or it's because my battery is a fake samsung one.
I've been looking at the extended batteries from powerbear and the like. None of them list which battery cells they use in their batteries. I've also seen a lot of complaints of the batteries dying at the 3 to 6 month mark.
Does anyone know which batteries use high quality battery cells, for example Samsung cells or at least the OEM battery cells?
Does anyone have long term experience with one of these batteries that hasn't degraded significantly or similarly to the OEM battery as far as equivalent capacity loss over time?
I posted this question on Amazon for a number of the extended batteries and only received a response from the
PERFINE who claim to use LG OEM battery cells.
No luck with responses from Powerbear, Zero Lemon and others.
Regards,
Mike

No idea, i can say ive been using powerbear for 5+months now with no issues. Battery life has not degraded more than 5-15%. Most likely the cells are lower quality, but the larger capacity should allow you to often have a lower depth of discharge and help them to last a bit longer.

Thanks for the input, I'd really be interested to see how the battery holds up after the 6 mons. mark. Also, I'm assuming you're a heavy user.
Another thing I recently read was the way some of these batteries are put together. Some are simply two regular capacity batteries put together. Apparently this is a bad idea because the leveling of the battery usage isn't controlled since they are technically two separate batteries. Anyhow, it's good to hear the powerbear is holding up pretty well.

Third party chinese batteries are always a bit hit and miss. I have always used them like if it doesn't catch fire it is good. Putting two cells in parallel is not as bad as putting them in series so I would not worry about the balancing. They are poor quality batteries anyways so balancing does not give that much advantage in this scenario.
If the battery costs something like 20 bucks then don't worry about it lasting more than six months. It's cheap so just buy a new one if you want the best battery life. But don't get the cheapest if you don't want Note 7 problems. They have really poor quality cells and most likely no protection. Death traps if you ask me. 20 bucks should give you the protection and not the worst cells.
