[Q] Best Slim Extended Battery? - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Which is the best extended slim battery that will fit in a normal case and battery door? I seen a few 4700mAh batteries, but other buyers claimed in negative feedback that they were fake or not reporting the correct size, so I was wondering if someone could link me to a trusted and factual extended slim battery that reports the size it claims to be.

Not sure, but I know only one genuine-ish battery seller, which is mugen power. I'd advise you to check the link below. There are both slim extended and extended version (extended version comes with additional back cover due to enlarged size, but slim extended can be used with OEM back cover)

My waiting and holding off paid off, just won this lot on eBay for 60 bucks! It's the Power Pack Note 3 Edition, hell haha now I need to buy one of those external chargers to keep one extra battery juiced up, good thing I found this auction, been needing to get a OEM USB Note 3 Cable too.

Unless someone has patented some new type of battery technology, there's no cramming more mAh into the same size battery.
Plenty of people report anecdotal "well it seems longer!" type stuff, but only one person bothered to scientifically test it with meters and the bother of completely draining and testing different claimed batteries.
Best to just buy an extra Anker or OEM battery not claiming to have 4 billion mAh into the same size battery.

Anyone bought the Seidio 3500 mAh battery?

Hi,
Has anyone bought this monster for $69.95?
Innocell 3500mAh Extended Life Battery
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bacy35htp2-bk.htm
And/or how does it compare with the Mugen?
The Seidio site says: " Adds only 3-4mm to your device" now folks that is millimeters according to Seidio. So, I'm curious how they're doing that.
Anyone please chime in with a review and some realistic pictures.
I'd rather use 2x 2000mAh batteries that fit my phone

First of all, it still says "coming soon". I had the version they did for the Treo Pro, which definitely doubled the life I was getting with the stock 1800mah battery. Yes, the phone was bigger, front to back. No, it wasn't inappropriately bigger or heavier. The cover looked like it was designed with the phone having priority over the battery & actually made handling the phone easier.
The equivalent Mugen Treo Pro 3600mah battery had, to put it kindly, very mixed reviews.

lmaooooooooooo.....
I have one on order... Still waiting...
Sorry for the zombie post but has anyone gotten this? did you like it? quality?
I am seeing them for around $60 ($26 cheaper than the mugen)
is it really 3500mah? is the back universal? I notice the mugen has a SPECIFIC model for each branding (verizon - sprint - gsm)
but the seido only seems to have one? will it (the back) fit the sprint tp2?

[Q] 2 Battery contacts on the flat surface. What do they do?

Hi All,
I have a Touch HD and I am looking at replacing my battery, as I have one of the first released and the battery has come to the end of its useful life.
I have noticed that the genuine HTC 1350mV part no: 35H00120-01M has 2 metal contacts on the top right and left corners of the flat side of the battery.

All the non-genuine batteries do not have these 2 metal 'contacts' on the flat side of the battery.
When I put a multimeter across them, it shows that they are connected to each other, but not connected to the actual battery terminals. By that I mean, there is no voltage drop when I connect one of these terminals to any one of the main power terminals of the battery.
I have looked at the HTC_Blackstone_Service_Manual and it shows that these contacts connect to a metal plate. This plate could be a shield or a heat sink for the battery.
Can anyone advise me just what are these 2 contacts used for?
Are they necessary?
Will my reception suffer, if I use a non genuine battery such as one of the extended batteries?
If all 3rd party batteries don't come with these, can I assume they are not needed?
If they are not needed, then why did HTC see fit to have them in place?
Thank you in advance.
David
I guess this is for grounding purposes.
i am currently using a after market replacement battery, there is no such 2 metal 'contacts' on the battery. The replacement battery works very well with my phone. It is even works better than genuined one

Looking for charging dock for extended battery

I asked the folks at Mugen if they have one that will fit their extended 5400 mAh battery. I want to be able to recharge my spare battery while I'm out with my phone. They don't have one, but the rep pointed me to this one:

Does anyone have this charger? Is there a distributor or vendor in North America I could buy from? It is $13 from TVC Mall, but adding on shipping and PayPal fees brings it to about $26. :silly:
Hrm, I wonder if the extended battery will fit in the rear charging bay of this Hyperion cradle. As long as their isn't a lip or other protrusion that might get in the way of a thicker battery, this might work:

The Hyperion cradle will charge the extended batteries. Have one sitting at home that I use all the time.

Thanks for also letting me know that this cradle will work! I use it currently at my desk and I like it a lot. Now I'm going to like it even more
ADDITION:
While I was charging my phone today at the desk, I just wanted to charge my other battery. So as I was charging the spare battery I noticed that the right side plug-in charges BOTH the main phone and spare battery.

Reserved for stat-pictures!
UPDATE: I recently reached 7-hours screentime with multiple apps running & data... I was quite surprised! Pictures: soon.
i paid MUCH LESS for same battery. it is quite good, but not 7800 mah.
in really is about 5000mah i think..... maybe initially was better, after 3 montsh of use life decreased a little.
it is a good battery better than original. but it is 2 battery IN PARALLEL.
1 battery chinese WILL NEVER BE 3200mah like original. so it it is 2500 real....................... 2500 x 2 = 5000 mah about. a good amount, not the promised 7800. but i paid just 10 euro not 40 XD XD
