Bought a slim MPJ 3200mAh battery for my S3 several months ago. A little improvement but basically on par with the stock, so I just paid nigh on 37 bucks for a I717 7000mAh battery+ TPU Gel extended battery cover. Gonna post result later.
Very interested, let me know. Good to see people still rocking the original Note, nothing on the market of new phones is impressive enough to warrant me spending money on them when this phone still has life enough to be my daily driver
Any updates?

Hello!
Does anybody know where I can get a cheap battery replacement for my vibrant?
I was thinking of upgrading my phone to a galaxy S2 tmobile version but its too pricey now so:
1) Should its price go down in a couple weeks when new phones are released at CES
2) Where can I get cheap batteries for my vibrant? The current battery is barely holding charge. 7 hours on LIthium-ion, battery calibrated,juice-defender on and its dead.
+ GPS doesn't work and drains the crap out of it!
The one on samsungs site is 40 dollars Kind of a lot to beef up an old phone.
Thanks so much!
~Cheers

Ebay and Amazon have tons, I'm sure you can find some under $10.

Just bought 2 and USB charger on Amazon yesterday.
Don't mind waiting for long shipping from Hong Kong then definitely eBay. 10 bucks got me 2 and a charger shipped. 3 weeks I think it took.

My deal from Hong Kong I can't tell any difference between the stock Samsung battery and those actually charge time might even be slightly shorter.

Two places i say amazon or ebay. I would go Amazon ebay tends to be china with way long shipping. Just read reviews for quality not really any better way to tell other than trying it.

Always a choice -> buy 12 batteries for 9$ to last for year or buy one good quality from Seidio or Mugen Power for 40$ and last for a year. What is better do you think? For Vibrant check this [HLI-Si9000SL ]
+1 for the epic 4g touch battery in the vibrant
got it for right around $20 from amazon. took just about 2 weeks to get it in my hands but there was also mlk day in the mix..

I bought this as well and my battery life has drastically increased! Running v11 with Easy Battery Saver. Light to moderate use, no autosync, just a little bit of wifi and bluetooth. Running over 1 day now still at 39%, usually I'd have to rush to charge after 12 hours.

That doesn't seem like heavy use. Looks like you have your screen on for about an hour maybe 2....
I am asking about anker one, which is quite good as per other batteries. unbranded 3500mah really not that good. They have launched this 3500mah battery few days before it cost around 18.99$ on ebay.

This looked like a good buy for me. 5200 extended battery for under $10! I used promo code SAVEMORE and got an extra discount plus its free shipping 3-5 days. I will post more when it comes in.

Got the battery in today, going to do all full charge and clear the battery stats. Looks good and fits nicely I posted a question in the Q&A looking for an app to test the battery, I would like to know if its really 5200 mAh.

I'll wait for the review too. I killed my battery at work today, and I definitely need to get something like this.

hate to be cynical, but a good percentage of the after market batteries are China made. Only the high end batteries are made from Japan. Even the OEM batteries are technically made in China. (even tho they like to write, "Designed in...." another country. Take Apple for example. or Samsung)
battery
The picture of the battery from the link you posted clearly says "made in china" I'd still like to know how you make out with this though. I think i have a defective battery from samsung because i don't seem to get nearly the time as everyone else seems to get on this site
Thanks so much for this link. However, I'm skeptical since it's so cheap. I'm gonna wait till some other order this and review it. I've always paid way too much for extended batteries from seidio for my former EVO phones and am tired of it. So I'm gonna watch this closely.
I have kept my GPS ,Bluetooth, data on all day. I watch over 2hrs worth of videos and been on the internet all day. I charged it for the first time last night and I want to drain it 100% today. 16hrs of extra heavy usage and I still have 11% of battery remaining.
Cons - cheep back cover very thin plastic.
Will update after a few days.

I presume this is the same cheap battery that's floating around multiple sites... has no NFC correct?
Edit: for less than 9 shipped, bought one.

I noticed that in the picture after I commented and purchased it. Not that it matters, since I currently don't use NFC.

More importantly...what's your screen on time look like?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Just received mine today... the back plate doesn't quite fit correctly. The right side of the back plate doesn't clip in flush.
EDIT: after some aggressive pushing the the backplate it seems to have all clipped in. For less than $9, I can't complain on the fitment. Its pretty impressive. I'll report back in a few days after the battery has cycled to show results.

Ordered this also. For $10 shipped it's worth a shot. The tough to install back cover seems pretty common in these bargain extended batteries, but if it fits who cares. If it works as well as I hope it will, i will consider modding my Seido Active case. With the right application of heat and cutting, I may get something to work. Said it's shipping from their international warehouse whereas the other batteries I ordered for wifes tmo exhibit2 are shipping from stateside warehouse. Was hoping for fast delivery but that's out the window.
I will say this battery is pretty good so far. I'm at 17% battery and at around 5 hours screen on time. Full sync, all location setting on except GPS, etc. Not trying to save battery at all.
Does anyone notice the battery jumping up slightly? Sometimes it will go from 30% to 29%, then back up to 30-31%. Gonna ride it out till its completely dead and recharge.
Sucks that I have no case on it, so I ordered an aluminum bumper.

My phone was doing that on the first battery drain. After I wiped the battery bin I have not seen it again.
My last test was an 8 hr road trip with navigation on the entire trip. My battery level went down to 25% after 8 hrs of GPS full brightness and no charging.

The battery seems good and the reviews seem pretty positive. I was gonna get the 10k zerolemon battery but am thinking about getting this instead, will post a review if I get it... It's priced at $35 with free shipping. And if you want NFC, that is an extra $3.

Looks good! I think it might be hard to find a case. That's why I like ZeroLemon, the battery back doubles as a case with pretty decent protection and grip.

Hi, I was also thinking of buying this one and also read something good abt it( never heard them before). I'll wait for ur report:laugh:
just ordered mine..ZL 10k ..been patiently waiting..
any1 using the mpj one though?
I was planning to move on to the LG G3 but it looks like battery life won't be a great improvement, and I really enjoy using the stylus. So instead, I'll try to solve my battery life qualms using one of those extended batteries that fit in the original case. So, any suggestions?
I have a MPJ which is supposedly 4500 mah and the same size as stock. But pretty much a stock battery is all you are going to fit. I would just stick with keeping an extra authentic samsung battery on hand like I do.
