The reason why i bought this battery is because i wanted to end my work shift with at least 20-30 percent(on a single battery) f obattery left to make phone call if needed, extend my phone usage away from a charger and longer web searching and the Andida 2000mAh didn't help at all. The result
OEM Battery 1500mAh: listening to music from 4 to 1am = 10% battery life left
Andida 2000mAh: ran 3 test each time my phone ended up dying around 11:30-12:00 this battery is not 2000mAh it somewhere around 1100-1300 it make an good back up battery but not an good extended battery.
I well be running some more test, like how long it last on 3G compared to the OEM battery but as of now i see theres no need to.
If you need an extra battery this is worth the money, but if you need an extended battery its not.
I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Haven't seen anything Earth-shattering as far as performance under normal use, but I watched a 2 and half hour movie on the device yesterday and it only went down to 50%.

i listen to alot of music etc etc daily when im at work so that when i would be able to see if its really a big change. I always end the night with about 10 percent of battery life.
Not terrible
I'm using a pair of these, with an external charger. I don't see that they provide a lot of advantage over the original HTC 1500Ma battery that came with my TP2, but they are an acceptable substitute.
One thing to keep in mind - I think they are heavier than the stock batteries. They are advertised as LiPoly, but I think they are LiIon.

It's under $10. Even if it's only as good as the stock battery it is well worth the money considering the stock one costs about $40. Even an OEM off eBay is as much as $16.

for an extended battery it not, i was looking for extended battery life without having to switch to another battery but this battery didnt do its job 2000mAh i don't think so its at least 1100-1300 i notice my battery died faster even on normal usage compared to the OEM. I honestly had enough of it :\... about to add some MM to my TP2 and get a bigger battery.

You are using the US T-Mobile version, from what I can see in the pix you posted; the only one available is the Mugen 3200, it runs about $79. I have not considered it because it really makes the back of the phone stick out. And it is expensive.
I buyed an used Touch pro 2. so i dunno how was the OEM battery when it was new. When i replaced with this 2000 mAh it nearly double up the battery life. From my site there is full satisfaction.

Aside from the poor English in your post, there's no way a 2000mAh battery is giving you double the battery life or even close to it. It is only 33% higher capacity than the stock battery.

Hey,
I was trawling the internet for some cheap extended batteries. (my only other experience with them was the official HTC one for the HD2).
I heard someone saying that there is a good 3500mah one going on Amazon for £11. I'm presuming he meant this as it is the first result: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-3500M...A9ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333452409&sr=8-1
After a quick search on ebay I found the same battery for £5.99! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3500mah-H...ltDomain_3&hash=item256aa12a8e#ht_2235wt_1024
But is it any good? Has anyone had any prior experience with unbranded batteries?
Thanks,

never go for it, no use, this are fake chinese battery, i got one for evo 4g. it was told to be 3500 but it was not even 1000 mah.

That is usually true for the batteries that sit inside the original casing, but not the extended ones?

I got this on amazon and has been doing calibration with the battery monitor widget and its calibrating out to at least 2500mah. One peculiar thing is the first 40% or so drop by very fast, but then from 50-30 percent it last a lot longer, this has been notice by another poster also. the battery door is also decent, first generation soft touch rubber coating type material and not as ugly as the Seidio door

You buy many spare batteries for the amount an original battery costs. One spare battery made in China is about € 2,50.
What the real capacity is doesn't matter, as long it does it job as spare battery, you can always order a second one.
Also would it be better to buy the 3500mah and use that as primary. or buy something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805
And use it as a secondary battery? Which would provide the best overall battery life?

that is hard to say, because everybody usage pattern is different, but even if its only 2500mah it still comes to 50% more capacity then the stock 1700mah.
Last night charge cycle adjust it to about 2700 mah, I don't think its settle down yet, seem the more charge history the widget collect the more accurate the calibration should be.

Thats true. But, seriously i was not happy with the backup it provides. It was 50% of the oem.
as in for spare this is great. you can also try anker one, its great and cheap.
btw, it was about extended.

Guys dont trust some of these batteries. I bought a few of these similar type batteries cause they were really cheap 2 for $9.99 with charger. This has been discussed to death already. I bought another set of 3x + 1 charger. They didnt last long at all. I peeled the stickers on all of them at they were all had 1000mah stamped on it but the sticker says 1800mah. This has been pointed out here before too. It was a complete waste of time and a hassle trying to get my $ back. Seller didnt bother taking the batteries back. For the total of $20 I spent and headache I couldve just bought and anker or chichitec. Which I did. I bought 2x 1900mah anker + charger for 24.99 a while back and they have been great. Been using them for 10 months now and last slightly longer than stock. I will look for the thread so you guys can do some reading but it did get pretty lengthy. Spend the extra $5 or even $10 and dont go for these cheap batteries.
Here's the thread. Take time to read it and it may be worth your trouble later down the road.

the HTC one is bigger and has more mAH so last longer... but you will need a different battery door... the other one i think fits in the stock battery door but only last longer for a couple of months
Ebay ad says: *Extended battery door is needed, which we do not currently carry*
Don't forget that the Rezound antenna it is located on the back cover so if you get an extend battery it should come with a new cover and antenna as well.
The HTC one does.

Besides what the others have posted, I've found Mugen batteries to be overrated in regards to MAH rating. Ive only had two Mugen batteries on other phones, but received nearly identical battery use in comparison to my lesser mah stock batteries.
Just my opinion, but grab the HTC extended battery, but don't forget about the door. I have 3 extended battery doors if you need one.
Hello everyone, do you think the Chinese batteries that are 2450mah online from reliable?
someone has got to try them?
I've had a negative experience with a non-Samsung battery - nowhere near rated capacity, overheating. If it were me, I wouldn't use anything other than genuine Samsung batteries (& haven't other than that one occasion & I returned the battery/got a refund), tho YMMV obviously.

Not reliable, most of the time is a piece of garbage, in one of my experience if the battery goes down completely, it won't recharge if you didn't plug it in within a short time (I am speaking minutes).

I have the Samsung 2000 mah, worth every dollar. Brilliant extension of battery life, had it nearly a year and still going strong. Dont bother if your phone is riddled with wakelocks etc, you're better off getting rid of those vs. buying a bigger battery.
But you guys, but do you think the batteries samsung where they are produced? read read ..
What does where they're manufactured have to do with anything - you do realise why they're produced in those places ? (Relatively cheap labour/closer to supply chain).
It's the quality of the manufacture, materials & quality control you're paying for when you buy a genuine battery. And non-genuine batteries are often hit & miss for those reasons.

If you're basing that on personal experience with non - Samsung batteries, I'd be inclined to think you got lucky. More often than not a non genuine battery will be significantly less than claimed capacity, vs Samsung ones which are very close to claimed capacities. I don't bother unless it's genuine now.

Well FYI buddy I am talking from experience(multiple times) and I am pretty sure MistahBungle is also talking after having several experiences with non-original batteries.
As he said non-original batteries are hit and miss deals.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
To suggest all/many/most non-genuine batteries are of the same quality/reliability/at or close to rated capacity compared to genuine batteries is a blanket statement which isn't grounded in fact. Read threads on here/elsewhere & the real world experience is this:-
*99% of people who buy genuine batteries find them to perform exactly as they'd expect (be reliable/durable, able to hold a charge, not overheat, at or near rated capacity), the other 1% (should) get refunds or exchanges.
*Anything up to 30-40% of people who buy non-genuine batteries seem to have issues with them at some point, whether it's right off the bat (as soon as they start using them) or within a reasonable period of time after buying them.
The rub is, if you buy a genuine battery, you know exactly what you're getting almost all of the time, and you can easily get a refund or replacement if you don't get that. If you buy a no-name from little E big B/elsewhere, you may not be able to do that easily. Yes, the battery might perform as you'd expect a genuine battery to (tho very very few end up at the rated capacity on the outside of the battery, I.E rated 3500mAH, you're lucky if you get 2800), but there's a not unsubstantial chance it won't. Which means you have to go thru hassles to get it replace/refunded, and you don't have a spare battery or whatever in the meantime.
So that makes the question, do you want to take that risk ? Me (and lots of other people - you did ask for opinions after all), I'd rather pay the extra $15-$20 & buy a genuine battery (or two or more), or even the extended power pack if you really need a lot of juice & can't get near a power source to recharge (If that was something you did a lot, a 3rd party power 'brick' from a reputable company is worth exploring, as would a solar charger if you spend time outdoors/away from mains power).
Yes, but do you think the price is correct as the original battery 2000mah for samsung 40 €? when that is 1650mah from the 13 euro?
then it is no exaggeration to have longer life?
I wouldn't pay €40 for a 2000mAh genuine battery, no. I can get them for $30-$35 in Australia which is €25-30. If you shop around online, you may be able to get one near that price if you find somewhere who does cheap or free shipping.
With regard to the longer life, as you'd expect (and this is my RW experience), the 2000mAh battery gives you around 20% more juice/usage.
Edit - If you can get 1650mAh genuine batteries for 13 Euro, why not load up on those ? You could get two & have 65% more juice than the 2000mAh battery and still save €14 (Or are you talking about non-genuine 1650mAh batteries for €13 ?)

Yep at that price getting two of the 1650mAh ones & saving a bit of money as well rather than getting a 2000mAh looks the better deal.

Anyone here can share your experience with a slim extended battery for note 3? I want a better capacity battery comparing to original without adding the bulk to my note 3.
Spare battery charging kit.
sent from my sm-9005.
You're not going to get a battery that has more mah AND fits under the stock battery door. Some batteries state a higher mah, but have the same or less than the stock battery.
I agree with @rbiter, spare Samsung battery with Samsung battery charger = awesome combo! That's what I have and love it! I also have a 12,000mah power bank with 2 usb ports, so it can charge 2 devices simultaneously. This combination gives me more than enough battery life to last me for days without needing AC or DC power!

I believe that the extended battery should be thicker than the original battery because the capacity is more than the original.
Originally, if the capacity is larger, the chips of the battery should be more.
Therefore, it's impossible that the extended battery is slim.
I have a 6400mah extended battery, but actually I don't like extended battery. thicker. uhhh

That whole thread is 'snake oil'.
Didn't want to ruin a perfectly good nonsense thread there, but this seems a more appropriate place to mention a few realities.
1) Can't magically make more mAh out of the same sized battery. Especially not that much more. That's pretty much like grabbing two of the exact same logs and declaring that under the same circumstances one burns for an hour and the other a day.
2) People in that thread are claiming it charges faster. No kidding. That's because it has less to charge.
3) You get what you pay for.
