Does anyone on here use the 5300mah extended battery for our phones? Was curious how much bigger it made it feel, how hot it got, yada yada. A pic of it in compared to stock would be splendid also! also if anyone has tried the "extended slim" battery that's supposed to fit with existing back (weighing my options) I love how this phone feels in my pocket and in my hands idk if I want something that's gonna make it a lot thicker. Thanks again guys. I love this forum lol.

---edit--- nvm. I finally found that thread on the 5300. I tried for an hour earlier lol. But about that extended slim, its like 3000mAh, is that even worth it? That 5300 is HUGE

Hi There,
I have the 5400mah from amazon, $9.99 with plastic door. Battery works good and door is not bad but will not last over time. I also have two 2700 mah which where $9-13 from amazon and came with wall mount charger they work awesome. I have had no issues with either battery types and love them all. I tripped over my charging cable while plugged in the phone and does not work. I am tied up at the moment, about to make a rom help thread haha...when i get time today or tomorrow i will post pics and answer further questions along with details and links. And i use my note for everything, games reading and video all day long, truly is my phablet.
The 2700's fit as if stock, use stock door.

Awesome thanks! I like my note just wish it had battery life like the note 2. I might invest in one of the 3000 mah battery. They have decent reviews.

Are you saying there's a 3000 mah batt for this phone? Link please?
Otherwise I used to have the extended 5300mah. was just too big for my liking. Sold it on ebay and got the RAV 2750. But interested in the 3000 mah you mentioned, thanx in advance.

I've ordered 2 of these (2 batteries & 2 external chargers). I can't believe how cheap they are and the seller claims they are compatible with the HTC Hero (Sprint). He also appears to have fairly great feedback.
I'll let you know how they work out when they arrive.

This might be more what your looking for mate ... http://cgi.ebay.com/for-Sprint-HTC-...Accessories?hash=item3a53d22232#ht_2442wt_802
Yep, they work. I now have 2 HTC Heros, each with 3 batteries & 2 wall chargers. They're slim enough to fit one or even two in my wallet without too much extra bulk.
So glad I ditched that POS iPhone.
it looks good! but i am very concern about the quality as you know that battery always explode nowadays!
thanks for posting the link, I'm also going try the battery out and see if they would blow lol
I've got them two weeks ago, using them since. One of them have in wallet (haven't used this one yet) and the other one is in the phone - original is back in the box.
They're ok, little bit weaker than original, but for this price. One thought - I had to use the pile to get them into the phone, they were a 1mm too long
Weaker than the originals? They should be better lol.
And you guys are buying batteries for that cheap and really arent worried about them either a)exploding or b) overheating and melting or melting internal components in the phone .. ?? The quality cant be that great
Anybody have recommendations for mobile power packs? Thinking about purchasing one of these for a camping excursion where there won't be any electrical outlets.

Recieved mine today. I'm in the process of reviewing its performance right now. I'll post tomorrow my results since I don't think its possible to drain it by tonight. I am leaving screen brightness %100, no dim or screen lock, 4g constantly on, live wall paper, and doing whatever else I can to REALLY put it to the test. None of this standby 15 min of internet 2 phone calls stuff. Battery monitor shows 650+ positive mA with all this going on if that means anything. Still learning.
First impression is its well made. It's definitely not a shoddy slap together item. Thought went behind design and usability. We shall see about performance. The case is attractive. Hard plastic, not flimsy at all. It's about an inch wider then EVO and 2inches smaller then its length. Perfectly square. Thickness is 2 EVO's stacked. It is alittle heavy. Someone said it was 10oz. So overall its way small for the juice your getting. Not to heavy. This is a battery after all.
The packaging was nice. A cardboard setup like the EVO where it slides out. Real packaging. Peel off sticker guards to prevent scratches. Come with 2 adapters and a charger. All is included to charge EVO. I'll end here and post performance of this device tomorrow.

Thanks for the review.
Well I've been using it constantly all day today from my first full charge. Been 11 hours and its at 50%. That's with screen brightness 100%, no dim/lock, live wallpaper, 4g constantly on. All that while using my phone for browsing the web, netflix, 3d camera, ect. I've been using my phone constantly as in non stop. So in all reality its not possible to use this up in one day of constant HEAVY usage. I have to fully recommend this product. Obviously I don't know about longevity but from what I've experienced so far I'm guessing it will last a long time. If you have any specific question ill do my best to help.

Same here... no picture posted yet, but i am sure it is going to be a very big one indeed.
It says it is 2.5 times more powerful than the original.
Though could be very indispensable for summer travellings and countryside picknicks far from civilization, but still to enjoy connected and secure feeling
Well, the 1900 mah one works great so far. It's quite possible that it will work as advertised.
Dang I'd buy it if it were in stock

The OEM Extended battery is big enough and I believe that was 2700mAh? I couldn't imagine how monstrous this thing must be, even if they do find a way to slim it down.
I suppose they could pull it off if they punched more holes in the layers and stuffed in some silicone. They'd be able to make it nearly the same size as the original OEM battery. I just don't think battery companies are doing that yet.
That's one enormous and expensive battery there. Having the oem extended battery, I don't know if I could take a much bigger battery, but it would depends on exactly how much bigger we're talking. The oem one gets me through 98% of days with absolutely no problem. The price would have to be a major consideration as well at almost 100 dollars.

wow epic battery life. Lol. My OEM extended battery lasts my just about 48 hours, I could only imagine how long that one would last, idk maybe 72!

I hope Mugen comes out with a battery that lasts a full year without recharging. I would pay $45,000 for it.
I wish they wouldn't charge so much for extended batteries.

i think we're getting somewhere...
That'd definitely be useful for people like me who love to run their phone at full speed and full brightness, but aren't near a power source most of the time. I only use my extended when I know I'm going to be out for awhile since it's such a beast, I can't imagine how huge this thing is going to be!
I just put in an order for mine should be here by end of april
Are they trying to bring the bagphone back? That's gotta be ginormous.
Thanks! gonna order a 1900 as soon as they are available
I ordered a Mugen Power 1900 mAh battery from a reputable vendor on ebay. It shipped and should be here by Thursday. It was even a few bucks cheaper than what the Mugen Power website was selling. They have over 10 of them in stock, according to the listing.
I also ordered the Mugen Power 4000 mAh battery from their website. It won't ship for a few weeks since the battery is on backorder.
I hope to do some comparative tests, like I did for my old Droid Razr, as well as a video review. But that will be next month, likely.
Sent from HTC Rezound using Tapatalk.
here's to hoping it's just creatively shaped... I feel like there's a lot of unused space behind the extended battery cover that a manufacturer could take advantage of (albeit a bit costly...)
UPDATE: Mugen says 4000 mAh battery is strong enough to power your car. Details here: http://www.thatbatteryistooEffinbig.com
how does this battery compare to the normal extended battery? would it fit in the case for the extended battery?

Dunno, 4000(mugen) - 2750(oem) = 1350 advantage(almost a standard battery) ...no pictures as of yet for size, but trust me I'll post a decent review when I get it sometime either this month or next. When ever the hell they get it to me.
Sent from my Rezound
Edit: math is off, I've been up for 30+ hours its 1250 advantage
I bought one of these recently, the price on it is ridiculous but if you want a battery that will never die this is it.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...or-verizon-htc-rezound-with-battery-door.html
It comes with a new back with a kickstand on it which is nice & it still fits in my HTCpedia extended battery case.
I am really hard on battery life as I stream audio all day at work (Iheart radio & Sirius online) & that really burns up battery life.. The VZ extended battery makes it a little over 8 hours usually doing that. The Mugen beast still has over 1/2 the battery life left at that point.
I recently went on a two day business trip & was still on the original charge of the thing when I flew home. I took a spare bateery with me, but never used it.

It's almost the same as the OEM extended battery. See here :

Would rather put that money toward a phone that doesn't need a battery that large to make it through a day. Oh wait I did do that.

Yea, it's not really much different at all.
I have three VZ extended batteries & when the phone is in my pocket (wearing either jeans or cargo shorts) I really can't tell which is which.
This thing is amazing, it lasts as long as my Son's Razr MAXX.
Speaker holes are small and it muffles the sound. Probably could cut a couple more slits in it. . But I wouldnt pay a hundred bux for a friggin battery
I agree the price is ridiculous (as I stated in my original post) but the back has not affected the sound on mine at all. It's not like the original speaker is all that powerful anyway.
I was pissed originally at the price for sure, but it's turning out to be one of the best investments I have made for this phone.
I literally never have to even glance at my battery gauge anymore, I couldn't kill this battery if I tried (streaming video/audio, screen on time etc etc nothing seems to matter) I have completely stopped carrying a spare batt, something I have done religiously since last October.
It's not for everybody, that's for sure but if you never want to worry about your battery life again this is just the thing.
They're charging an extra $50 for the kick stand. Watching that video reminded of how awfully slow this phone was @ stock.
I love my mugen compared to the oem extended. I have never had a dead phone on the mugen, but i did on the oem extended.
Yesm itvis way to pricey, but the 30% works for me.
Saw this battery available on amazon. There is one with a white battery cover, blue carbon, and black. The batteries are stated to be 3800mah. I couldn't find much information about them.
http://www.amazon.com/Empire-qualit...H-i9220/dp/tech-data/B0089M7JYG/ref=de_a_smtd
Update: I went ahead and ordered one of the 3800Mah batteries. I will let you know how it performs when I get it in. I also will let you know if it will fit in the seidio holster.
Got the battery in and it is much larger than I thought it would be. It is about 2 1/2-3 times the thickness of the stock battery. I am on the second full charge and so far it doesn't seem to last any longer than the gold 3250mah battery that I have. Right now the battery monitor pro had the actual reading at 2992mah. It read the gold one as having 3302 mah after 4 charging cycles. I will compare again after I run this one thru 4 charging cycles. I hope to have some pictures posted this evening. If the rating doesn't change I will stick with the gold battery especially since it uses the stock battery door.

They don't last any longer than the stock battery, there's no way a 3250mah battery is the same size as the stock one. Its a fake...
It is larger than the stock and you have to work the back cover on as it creates a tight fit. I honestly don't think it is the mah that is stated but it does last me about an hour or two more than stock depending on long I have the screen on. But back to what this post is about. I am seeing better numbers today with the 3800mah battery.
Update: Well I am going to bed so so I will be putting this on the charger for the 3rd cycle. Looks pretty good. Here is a final tally to show you in the screenshots.
