I rather buy that 2500 mah battery kit than this brick
Lol. It is fairly ugly looking.
I just use a spare battery which is
3720 Mah .
Odd though- because two Alpha Batteries are nowhere near as thick as this thing.
Is there a small piece of Pizza in there or a money clip maybe ?
If it could do wireless charging, it would sell so much more.

Hi,
are there stronger batteries for the Hermes device available?
Shipped one is about 1350mAh, maybe a third party offers 1900mAh.
I have seen a 1500 mAh ones, but I think some 3rd party battery manufacturers are a tad "optimistic" when they state their batteries capacity, so i dont know if they last much longer than the original battery.
There are indeed some compatible and HTC original batteries (same as for HTC Apache) with capacities up to 2800mAh, but there are no compatible battery covers for the Tytn yet, since the batteries need extra room, thus battery compartment extension.
3000mAh soon: http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=473
Boy! Can't wait til they come out with that one!
More Power More Power !
WOW They even have a 4800mAh now
http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=324
Could you imagine.. This would be a small heavy weapon sorta.. You could throw this and really hurt someone.. Just the weight of the unit with this power pack.. YIKES..
4800mAh is for Universal.
Mugen Power Netherlands rep say they are working hard on a same-size-as-original power battery with around 2000 mAh. Waiting for that one. Of course the price needs to be right, not 1/10 of the device´s price.

which one is it? and how would you buy it?
A stronger battery would be great.
I got one of the advertised 1500mah batterys off of ebay today for $20. When it gets here i will do a battery comparison and update you on the resaults.
is it physically the same size as original?

i believe the one i bought is the same one as kramer11's but it's about the same size as original. seems slightly thicker but you won't notice the difference.
you probably won't notice the battery life difference either as it is only 150mah difference. i ended up purchasing a 3000mah one and have started using it from today. it makes the device thiker but it's a great stuff that comes with a replacement battery cover. recommended for anyone who wants longer battery life.
I dont understand why the hermes battery is twice the size as the htc wizard and is only 100mah more.
Anyone ?

Can you post some pics regarding how does this battery look on your TyTN? And how is that working out? Would really appreciate some more details .. Also, where did you buy it from?
How about this one?
http://www.boxwave.com/products/hig...ded-battery-htc-wizard-cingular-8125_1160.htm
It's for the 8125/Wizard
Would it work in the 8525 / TYTN?
--sorry some how i missed posting the link, how useful was this post?
Boxwave battery response
I requested that boxwave look into compatibility of the ElectraSpan Extended Battery (which allready works for the 8125/Wizard) for the 8525/TYTN.
The response I received from boxwave was they would look into the request but it depends on requests (demand) received as to how quickly they will develop/offer the new products.
So here is the link to request the extended battery for the 8525:
http://www.boxwave.com/community/request/request_model_103.htm
Fill in your name and email and then a quick note telling them you have the 8525/TYTN and hit submit. If enough of us request this battery they'll probably bump it up on their priority list.

Done. I used one under which I've ordered from them before, so maybe that'll pull a tiny bit more weight than a random e-mail address....

Boxwave shows it as available now
Interesting that they never bothered to tell me, but Boxwave is showing the extended battery on their site now:

Nice capacity (2500 mAh) but it blows away the same leather case they sell that I just got for my Cingular 8525 I'll wait for battery technology to get slimmer, thank you very much. In the meantime, I just acquired a second 1350 mAh battery so I can pop it in if needed.

Hi,
I've been looking at this battery and wondering if it would be safe?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-HIGH-CAPACITY-BA-S450-GOLD-BATTERY-MOZART-/200627217288?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb6506388
Thanks
Will it be safe? Probably. Will it be a load of crap? Also, probably. You get what you pay for with batteries - I have a Mugen Power 1800 mAh extended battery and it works really well - but then it was twice the price of this one. Have a look at the seller's feedback and you'll see a lot of people complaining the batteries did nothing better than the stock ones and in some cases were worse. They sell cheap Chinese knock-offs - maybe OK if you just want a cheap silicone case, but useless for batteries.
There's only so much juice you can cram in to the stock battery size. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Yep I would vouch for the Mugen power one as well, better battery life, not had any problems with it. Get the Mugen one.
"Yoobao Motorola Droid X2 Extended Battery Door 2600mah" from Ebay. Anyone tried it?
Has anyone here tried this yet? How is it?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yoobao-Moto...S_Batteries&hash=item19c6481d6b#ht_500wt_1413
I understand why people want extended batteries, but that just looks ridiculous.
I think im gonna order one of these today
Buddy of mine has a Seidio extended battery for his Evo 4G. He says it's great. Here's one for the X/X2 and the better priced one.
Never even heard of Yoobao. So I think I'm going Seidio.
I had a Mugen Power extended battery for my HTC HD2 and couldn't live without it.
When I considered one for my X2, I looked at the ones offered by Seidio, Yoobao, Gorilla Gadgets, Mugen Power and generic eBay.
Yoobao and Gorilla Gadget reviews were the most positive; experiences with Seidio and the generic eBay batteries were all over the board and the Mugen Power batteries were just too expensive.
I ended up purchasing a Yoobao battery (which comes with a grey battery cover) - that does not match the phone - a plug-in charger and a rubberized case which fits the X2 with the extended battery/cover in place. Total tab with priority shipping was somewhere between $40 and $50, if memory serves.
I've been using this combo for about a month now and am generally pleased. Since I'm rarely on the same ROM for more than a week, battery life is hard to consistently rate. Today, for example, I'm going on 7 hours of steady texting, email syncing, alternating 3g/wifi use, 'net surfing, tinkering with Root Explorer/Text Editor, and playing music on PowerAMP -- remaining battery power is at 54%.
All the extended batteries in this class make the phone huge. Make no mistake, the photos you see are spot on. Some people like the increased purchase on the phone, some people bemoan the loss of that sleek, sexy chassis. It's a personal decision, to be sure.
At any rate, you'll need to calibrate your battery reader to get anything close to an accurate battery power reading. If you aren't rooted, I don't know how you would do this. If you are, you can simply erase batterystats.bin in your system folder, go into bootstrap recovery or use an app that does it for you.
I also alternate between more standard-sized BH5X and BH6X batteries. With these, I need to carry a spare, which invariably gets used sometime at the midpoint of the day. The greatest upside with these batteries, obviously, is in the case selection. I have 3 cases that I rotate, as my mood sees fit. For power users, this is a viable alternative to carrying around a slump block.

Yup, exactly what I thought ...
People are under the mistaken impression that Mugen Power batteries are Japanese, so the cells used are superior to the Chinese batteries. That is not correct. Mugen Power uses Chinese batteries, just like everyone else.
Based on my research, all of the major resellers use Chinese battery manufacturers. Quality control for stock Motorola, Yoobao and a few others tends to be much higher, so the possibility of getting a bum battery is concomitantly lower.

I'm pretty sure the Galaxy SIII will have decent battery life and when ROMs and kernels come around it'll be even better. The S3 having a 2100mah battery, do you guys think it's possible for 3rd parties accessories maker to do like a 2500 Mah battery like the note? Or will it be too big and add bulk to the phone with an bigger back cover?
There will definitely be extended batteries, but any that add significantly to the capacity will have their own rear casing and add some bulk. Mugen often make batteries the same size as the originals with a slight edge in capacity, but I doubt they'd get it to 2500mA.
Im sure there will at some point be extended batteries available in much higher capacities with their own back covers. This might actually be beneficial for those worried about getting scratched camera lenses.

Nfc antenna is in the battery so Kepler that in mind when looking for a replacement
Extended batteries on eBay
I found some extended batteries for sale on eBay. All of them seem to ship from China. Some are 2300 and 2500 mAh and appear that they fit using the standard back cover. Other larger batteries come with a new back cover making the phone thicker. The downside of both options is that none of the extended batteries seem to include NFC support. It's a shame that the phone's NFC feature was built into the battery.
Extended Battery and Cover
I think what you are looking for is the power case from droidax. They have a new one that fits the GS3 and has 2300 mAh battery inside. That doubles the battery capacity.

Waiting on the full line from Seidio myself. They said they are working on an extended battery but currently have no ETA. I usually buy the whole suite; Comes with a battery, back cover, 3 layers of casing and a holster. My opinion is that practicality is more important than how thin and light the phone is. My EVO 4g lasted a week with Seidio's extended battery. Hope to get the same with the SGS3.
I see this time and time again, but also I guess this is why there is a market for fake batteries.
Think of a battery as a fuel tank, you want to run the motor for longer? you need a bigger tank. Any battery that claims to have a larger capacity yet maintain the same physical size is either utilising battery technology no one else knows about or its too good to be true.

You can get a 2300mAh battery that gives like 10% extra capacity or a huge 4600mAh battery (2.2 times more capacity). Second one comes with back door because of bulk and adds like 11mm to the phone.
Found this video for the above mentioned battery.
I know some of you are keeping track of the weight of different batteries to see if there's anything heavier than the stock battery which would presumable indicate more battery life.
I have access to a highly accurate gram scale so I thought I would post some info here for the folks looking for it.
49.288 grams = Stock Samsung 2500mah Battery
49.313 grams = Ebay "Gold" 3000mah Battery
48.710 grams = Anker 2700mah Battery
Now for my opinion...
The Ebay Battery seems to be pretty much be the same as the stock battery in terms of useful life. The Anker Battery does seem to last a tiny bit longer however..
I would guess the extra weight of the Ebay vs Stock is due to the foil sticker on the Ebay battery as it feels slightly thicker.
I really don't think there is a stock sized battery out there that lasts much longer than the stock battery. If it did exist you can be sure that Samsung would make it and sell it to you as an accessory for $50. And honestly i'd pay $50 for a real 2900-3000 mah battery that fit under the stock battery cover.
If you want a tiny bit extra (Around 15 minutes screen on time) then the Anker 2700 is the best i've found so far, but just by a tiny margin. I average about 3 hours of screen on time with the stock battery.
Here's the link for the Ebay "Gold" Battery

First, thanks for sharing your data... a batteries weight (given the fixed volume) correlates well with its potential capacity. The battery aftermarket is flooded with extraordinary capacity claims most of which have little or no bearing on reality...
Second, the Ankor battery has received some good subjective reviews and your info seems to support them. Have you used it long enough to comment on how it's performance has held up over time?

Ripoffs
I wish I could find the link where a member dissected his battery and found there to be filler in place of where battery should have been. I remember it being a Hyperion battery and it supposedly being the same Ma/h as stock. I think the final conclusion was it was an 1800ma/h pack, with filler to make it weigh close to stock. That kind of crap is sooo shady.

Now I remember why those batteries went in the trash a couple days ago, they did not last long

The Gold ebay 3000mah battery has held up well and its pretty good quality construction, even though its really just a 2500mah battery.
The Anker doesn't have enough cycles on it yet to be able to tell...

+ 1 Hyperion = trash.
I remember that post, I had already weighed the Hyperion by that time and found it was a full 10 grams less than the stock. So. while I wasn't surprised by his findings, I was... Extra disgusted....
I went back over the post, but I didn't find that the battery was padded for weight but only for volume...in a sad way kind of a shame.. I think I would have had a little more respect for the scam if Hyperion had at least gone to that much trouble.
