Hey everyone, I recently got these off Amazon.ca for $9.99 CAD (plus $5.54 shipping). At first I thought it was probably an error since these go for $29.99 USD on Amazon.com. But I can confirm that this is not an error.
EDIT: It was shipped from California, USA, and it arrived in 7 business days in BC, Canada.
Here are some things I would like to clarify for you:
-The package came with 2 batteries that are labeled 3000 mAh (On Amazon.ca it is advertised as 2800 mAh)
-NFC works with these batteries
-Both batteries are the same colour (Dark blue)
-Seems to be of decent quality (My opinion)
-Charger is included as advertised
Firstly, I want to clarify the NFC issue that people have. The NFC antenna in the LG G3 is on the back cover, and therefore NFC will work with any battery. Caseology advertises these batteries as "Non-NFC" because other phone batteries has their antenna in the battery. This is not the case with LG G3, so ignore that all together and take my word for it. NFC works with these batteries.
As to whether or not these batteries actually hold 3000 mAh, I have no method in testing that. I haven't used them all that much recently, but the usage of a battery is highly dependent on the user. So for those of you in doubt, you should probably just try them yourself, it doesn't get cheaper than this.
One problem I have had with these batteries is that it is slightly thicker than my OEM battery (+0.5 mm?). It is noticeable enough.
The back cover is not as easy to put back on with these batteries, but it is still possible to put them on without damage. I have the D855, so maybe the QI back panel has something to do with it?
Let me know if you guys have any questions, hope this helped!
Please change the subject to include the total price
Thanks just ordered. Total came to $18.48 USD shipped.
@lexluthor good point, I'll say it's canadian + shipping. Since shipping isn't a flat rate.
@BrunoSlivar I edited the thread with the answer to your question. Try to post it in the thread instead of PM, it'll benefit everyone by doing so.

I searched but did not find much current information-
Has anyone gone to an oversized high capacity replacement battery for their wizard? I see several on ebay from $17 to $30 delivered and doubling the battery capacity has to be a good thing.....right?

i was thinking about it as all wm devices suck on battery life... but i charge mine all day at work and on my nitestand, and it usually lasts about two days without charging anyways....
i figured my brick is already big enough i'd just buy a second battery and keep alternating the two (keep one in the car or something with a car charger)...
I did purchase a large / double capacity battery - and am very happy with the purchase. Yes, it makes the brick a bit larger, and does come with a battery door as the original will not fit.
I was having charging issues, believe my battery was at the end of its lifespan - was having to charge every night, and if battery got below 51%, my wizard would continually loop at windows mobile flash screen.
I've gone as long as four days without a charge with the new extended battery - that is running some of the XDA WM6 roms - using wifi, etc.
I find the phone easier to hold with the larger battery
Just my .02 cents
Have a good one
does the phone with the bigger battery still fit in the regular case?
Thanks
The phone still fits in my holder - that was a big plus for me.......
The holder I have is a brown leather one with the logo Reiko on it. Came with the phone when I bought it on ebay. It has elastics on the side, so not sure if it is a specific holder for the wizard only.
Can't really help much more than that
Have a good one
Thanks for the info, bill_in_mtl.
I have decided to buy one. Hopefully it'll fit in the case.
What's a good place to buy one?
I found someone on e-bay selling them for $12 shipped.
http://cgi.ebay.com/2400mAh-Ext-OEM...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
It says it's by Celxpert.
Is this battery to be trusted, or could this turn out to be a cheap, low quality product?
I purchased mine on ebay also - for just about the same price. Have had no issues whatsoever with the new battery.
One note is that you need to ensure you identify which model you have - the different Wizard models have different battery doors.
Cingular 8125 and TMobile MDA have different battery doors. I noticed that the ebay item you linked shows it is for the mda.
I ordered and received the correct item for the 8125.
Thanks again for the info.
I just ordered the one I linked to.
I do have a T-mobile MDA.
I'll report here how it works out.
After one day of using the high capacity battery I got from e-bay, I can say so far it's performing great. The phone is bulkier now, but it can still fit in the original case that T-Mobile sent with the phone, although barely.
I may start making a lot of voip calls over wi-fi, so can't do without a high capacity battery.
I see that Mugen have updated their website to say that standard size and large capacity batteries will be available for the TC at the end of April
Reteb
Looking forward to the OEM sized high capacity battery.
Thanks for the heads up.

thanks matey
Nicely spotted Reteb. Thanks. I've been hoping for this for a while
I see the capacities are still TBD. Judging by the currently shipping TyTN II batteries it would be reasonable to expect at least the same, i.e. 1500mAh for the same-size replacement and 3000mAh for the over-sized replacement.
Does anyone have any experience with Mugen power batteries? I came here from the PalmOS world and my previous device was a Sony Clie TH-55. That had quite an active forum and one thing we discovered there was that there were a lot of third-party batteries out there for the TH-55 which, if you just looked at the manufacturer's claimed mAh ratings, should have delivered between 15% and 20% extra battery life per charge compared to the factory-fitted battery.
What we actually found by running standard battery discharge test programs on many devices was that in real life the replacement batteries at best only just matched, and in most cases failed to match, the performance of the factory-fitted battery. Whether this was because of dishonest labelling by the manufacturers or whether it was because they had sat on shelves in hot warehouses for too long was never determined.
I just hope that Mugen power label their batteries honestly and store them properly before shipment because even a 1500mAh battery should in theory be an 11% increase over the factory-fitted one and that would give me another 80 minutes of music playing time on my device so definitely worth having.

Here is one new extended capacity monster for the Touch Cruise.
http://www.boxwave.com/products/hig...ty-extended-battery-htc-touch-cruise_3046.htm
Have you seen this one?:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/replacement-battery-for-htc-touch-cruise-p3650-p-1028.html
Is not extended, but I think, the cheapest...and it works as the original one!!!
I bought two batteries and a lot of more things (cases, car support, protectors, cradle, stylus..), and I have to say its a very serious shop..
Wow, that's pretty cheap, I prefer to have one or two spare if I'm away for a while rather than having a huge bulge sticking out of the back. No catch? Will this also be the replacement battery for the Orbit 2?
Spare Battery - Cheap.
Found this on eBay, and checked just now (August 4, 2008) and they still have them. Ships from Asia, but arrived in under a week and is absolutely dirt cheap and perfect quality. The wall charger is the only convenient way to charge a spare battery, and the battery plus the charger together for $7 + 6.50 shipping is amazing.
And, of course, i do realize that i sound like the spokesperson for the seller - but it's really an amazing deal and i wanted to share witcha

ive always used mugen powered batteries when it came to extended, they are the best quality out there. a little pricey but the best.
for the touch pro they have two out so far:
1800mah STANDARD SIZE battery. i am looking into getting this one because their is no need for a extended backpeice, its the original size.
http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.info.../es109514_es120302495377/Products/HLI-T7373SL
the second one is a 4500mah extended battery that comes with a new backpeice.
http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.info.../es109514_es120302495377/Products/HLI-T7373XL
one question i have is, will the backpeice fit the tmobile US touch pro 2 ? the tmo us touch pro is just a flat cover that dosent go around the edges, but looking at the unbranded tp2 and the backpeice goes around the edge. so are they a different size or the same ?
in opinion, which one is a better value ? taking into thought the size difference
I would get the 1800mAh for 2 reasons.
1. Better value for money.
2. No extra battery cover needed. OEM TP2 fits fine with 1800mAh
If you do buy the 1800mAh, please do post a review...
also if you look on the mugen website, they also have a 3000mAh for $80 which fits the TP2 but a extended battery cover is needed which is supplied...
I'll surely go for the 1800mAh. not that pricey after all, if it really gives that 20% more usage time with no need for weird battery covers and so on! I've been crossing my fingers for months hoping to see a standard size / increased capacity battery!
moreove mugen power batteries are well known all over the world as I can see, and much appreciated by many users, which is good!
wow I'm so happy! jayizzbakk you're the man!
UPDATE: all htc touch pro 2 t7373 batteries are currently out of stock. I wonder when they'll be back on stock again??
I purchased one of these on eBay without thinking. No it doesn't fit the Tmobile USA Touch Pro 2.
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370245860031&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT>
I'd think having a 4500ma battery for trips etc would be great.
I'm guessing the one you listed is not for the Tmobie Touch Pro 2 either.
I have one of the 1800 ma batteries on its way to me now I will let you know how it does on the Telus TP2

I was looking into getting one for my Telus TP2 as well. Please do post a review.
no problem, im also waiting for them to come into stock. im afraid that it wont be a big difference
I don't think there is is an extended battery with a rear cover made for the At&t fuze...\
I too went on ebay, bought a 2800mah and cover, not realizing what the descript meant by unlocked (unbranded)
blasted the seller with negative feedback, there in hong Kong, even if they where to credit mysale and shipping both ways, I wouldn't have been satisfied, for the time I waited and that was with me paying express.... they should have written Unbranded, not unlocked(unlocking is software, un branding is hardware) Period
i saw the exact same one, and was thinking that unlocked has nothing to do with it lol
im hoping they can make an extended with a rear door in mind of the tmo tp2 users.
im really looking into the standard size extended because this phone is already big and heavy, no need for a size boost
I was liking the idea of something like the HTC Battery bank but it's kinda expensive. What do you guys think about making something like this:
http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ele/1331980387.html
Would that even work, or worse yet, would it harm the device. Too bad I just sold my MDA or I'd have an old piecer to test it on.
I haven't seen any real high AAA Lipo, maybe 1,000 - 1,500 Mah not any improvement
Unbranded Extended Battery
I did the same... I bought the unbranded 2800. I just looked and seen that it wont fit. I bought it on the 22nd and they put a note saying it would only fit the unbranded on the 24th... So now I have to wait for it to get here, just to send it back...

probably after I gave them neutral feedback, Listen I waited over a week to get it and paid the express shipping, its not a total lose, cause the batter is still good, but there is nothing they can do to make me happy, short of refunding me the whole sale, and I wouldn't want or expect that, so.... "just changed unlocked to unbranded" sothis don't happen to anyone else
mugen batteries for touch pro 2 will be in stock by the end of next week. their customer service is superb, will surely buy the 1800mAh one, though I fear it won't be much of an improvement...

won't see much of an improvement till u move too the 2400 and beyond, I'll wait till they come out with an extened back cover
I wonder if this is correct: 1800mAh is 20% more than 1500, so is it correct to assume that it will increase my phone life of nearly 20% (likely less - but HOW MUCH less?)?
There are some 1800mAh batteries for the TP2 on ebay but I can't imagine a $1.50 battery is going to do much besides melt my phone.
and what about that:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/HTC-Touch-Pro-2-...3?hash=item20ad159355&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
It's hard to tell how thick the back cover is
Got my Mugen 1800 ma battery today
It arrived in todays mail will let you know what my impressions are after I have used it for a few days.
Hey,
I made a thread yesterday about the possibility of me getting a 3500mah extended battery. But there were lots of mixed reviews (mostly about ebay batteries not being the mAh advertised).
Now i'm thinking should I get one of those extremely cheap 1600mAh batteries £2.99 (like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805) and swaping it out with the original when it gets low (even if it is only 1000mAh) or should I fork out a bit more cash and go for a £12 (4x the price) 1900mAh Anker
If i'm going to use the battery as a secondary what clear advantages does something like the Anker have and what are you recommendations? and how much more life does the Anker have over stock.
Thanks,
Louis
I would just go with the cheap ebay battery. Its so cheap, you can also buy two if you like.
I also just use them as spare batteries, I got one spare battery now myself, haven't used it though, but its just meant for when the original battery runs out off juice then I can place the spare one in it.
Why don't you just get a GENUINE OEM battery ? I wouldn't even consider getting a slim battery that wasn't OEM to be honest (Unless the OEM version was stupid money).
Downside of an extended battery: Can't fit a protective case on it, unless it's one of the stupidly expensive innocell/seido ones. The ebay 3500/3600mah batteries in general at around 2000-2500 in capacity and cost as little as £5 in the UK.
You can buy at least 10 cheap ebay batteries for same price as an original HTC Evo 3D battery, so even though the capacity is false most times, the one I bought it said in advertisement 1600mah, but when I got the battery it said 1800mah.
I don't know how much capacity it really have, but it will serve good enough as spare battery, its not meant as replacement, its only meant if i run out off juice with the original battery.
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190652254118
$3,18 that is less then € 2,50
get this for $8.99 plus $2.99 shipping. i have the same one and i get great battery life. theres others on this forum also that cosigned this battery.
http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Extended-Battery-HandHelditems-Universal/dp/B005G6571U
The cheap 1600mah seems to be 1000mah.
Yeah,
I ended up going with the cheap £5.99 3500mAh extended battery from eBay. Even though it's probably not 3500mAh more like 2800mAh (according to tests from XDAers) it's still better than stock and only £5.99.
And I 100% agree with Dexter. Why buy another OEM battery for 10x the price when you can get a cheap one with roughly the same power. It's not there for a replacement just as a backup.
Some even dare to call it an scam that they advertise the mah rating falsely, but you don't pay much for it so I don't consider it as scam.
You just get what you pay for.
i got this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2200mAh-G...316853?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item415dc8d435
turns out to be 1700mah but not bad for what i paid $6 or 4 gbp
I bought this at Amazon, plugged it in last night, set my Sprint LG G3 on it, and... nothing.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J7L6GJC
I went back to the Amazon page and read a little bit more. The first question (that I missed when I bought it) asked if it worked with an AT&T LG G3; the answer was "no, a wireless receiver is required."
I emailed the seller to return it, stating that it required an additional piece of hardware. The seller replied that it does NOT require any additional hardware.
So who is right?
AT&T model of G3 uses PMA wireless charging standard, instead of Qi and so it would never work.
In the case of Sprint G3 (and other US carrier models), I believe none of them come with battery doors that have Qi charging pins.
You have 3 options
Replace the battery door with one that has Qi charging sticker
Buy a Quick Circle case that has Qi charging sticker
Buy a wireless charging sticker, open your the battery door, affix the sticker at the right spot on the battery door and put it back
The third will be the cheapest option. Here is a video.
Thanks!
I see some cheap cases on Amazon for about $10 that include the Qi charging sticker. I see the stickers for about $5 if I go with the cheapest vendors.
Does that sound about right?
Are there any caveats? Is it better to buy from an established seller rather than a knockoff from overseas?
I personally buy knockoffs from China all the time and had very little issues. If the price difference is significant, I prefer the cheaper ones.
For example the 6000+ mah internal battery I bought for G3 cost me $12 from China. Compared that to the same capacity battery from Mugen which costs $90.

Did you need an extended battery cover for that large of a capacity?

Yes I do. The extended battery is double in thickness. Check this photo album (not mine, but same battery and cover).

Keep in mind that cover you see in the pictures, does not have Qi charging and NFC pins.
