The 1800mAh battery will give you slightly longer battery life between charges as the battery can store more energy than the stock battery's 1500mAh.
The lack of warranty is something to be leery about. Without a warranty I'd probably not buy from that seller.

I know 1800 is better than 1500
But i was asking weather they are real or fake.... i read somewhere that some people are selling 1500 mah battery with a lable of 1800

Asking if the 1800mAh batteries on ebay are real or fake is a totally different question than whether 1800mAh batteries are better than stock. You wasted my time by not asking whether they were real or fake to begin with! Granted it was only a few minutes, but it's still irritating.
In answer to your question, without a warranty I would be hesitant. However, there is no way of knowing if they are real or fake just by looking at them. You would have to have someone knowledgeable in electronics measure them under load to find out the mAh rating.

Yes i can messure them but i'll have ti buy them for this....
I was asking if someone has already done that..... it might save my money

And it could vary from seller to seller. One may have a legit 1800mAh battery while another could have a fake. Both look the same, but you wouldn't know until you had bought it.
The only way you're really going to know is by purchasing the batteries.

Okayy....
Orderd them
Will be getting soon

Extended battery that doesn't change size?

Is there any standard sized extended batteries out there that don't change the form factor of the phone but give more juice?

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.

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.

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

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

It'd be hella nice to get a 2000 mAh battery with NFC support for less than $40.

Extended Battery

Been looking into getting an extended battery but have some questions.
First which battery do you guys recommend (brand wyse)? Any issues I should be aware of?
And is it worth it? If I am correct the stock battery is 1700mAh or something. The largest extended battery is 1900mAh? Is that worth spending the money on it?
Of course I don't want to get a new back case either.
There are a few threads already with abunch of info.

But as for me I chose an anker, not a huge improvement but worth the price. Switched it out today

Yea I read that thread, really only one person commented on the worth of getting an extended battery, being only a couple hundred higher.
And the brand name question was quite back and forth too.

Anyone tried this extended battery on AT&T Galaxy Note?

It's probably closer to 3800 to 4000mah. The Chinese variants always lie to sell some batts unless it's Seido or Mugen who are trusted.
I am getting to the point where i am going to buy one. I am going to wait until my 30 days is up then buy an extended battery. Probably a cheap one like that first. I can't justify $100 for a Mugen one when it comes out, so this may work.

However with Mugen you get a 1 year warranty and guaranteed quality battery rated at 5000+ mah vs these knock offs that may wear off quicker and most likely no warranty.
You get what you pay for
I 100% agree going with Mugen is the smarter move. If I can take the chance and spend $15 on a knockoff and get lucky that it works well it is worth it seeing how the real deal is like 8 times more expensive.
Anyways most people don't keep there phones for more than 2 years anymore so longevity isn't always the biggest selling point.

Damn.. Im thinking about getting it tooo... Is that back.cover.smaller or is it just the pic
Oh btw guys the.mugen.us like 4150mah

The mugen battery for the note is 5400mah, more than double the stock. Unfortunately they don't have a pic yet, I'm just wondering how much size diff it adds

Mugen does have a picture if the International version don't they? I know I have seen it it has a quicksand with it. From the pictures I have seen it looks to more than double the thickness of the phone.

Personally, I'd stay from any unbranded batteries from that region. They work fine for awhile after the return period and then they go bad.

5200 mAh Extended Battery

http://www.amazon.com/5200mAh-Exten...1027430&sr=8-1&keywords=i717+extended+battery
Just wondering if anyone has this. I'm thinking about buying it because I use my Note a lot, and reading around the 5000 mAh battery thread it really seems to help with battery life. I'm just worried that maybe that one posted on Amazon is bad, or doesn't give you good battery life, etc.
Thanks
It looks like the one I bought from tmart. There is a thread already started about it, take a look. It was well worth the money for me.

Yeah, I saw that thread. I'm just afraid that they might look similar,but might be different somehow. I think I'm going to take a leap of faith. It's only a few dollars anyways.

Replacement Battery Thread

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
