Are there any third party batteries that you can buy that will improve the battery life without need to get a new case?
I've seen some 3800mAh ones on eBay but I don't know if they will offer much improvement, if any.

Dont even thought!!!!!!
dont use 3 rd custom batteries tgey are suck and by time your lg g3 will say invailed battery and the device will power on only if you but tge original battery and you wont able to use any other batteries.
i have used power bear battery and i had that issue and then i boaght zerolemon for 35$ by sale and it is pretty good no issues and i reached 10 hours (SOT) screen on time but it add too much thickness to my device
have a nuce day
Original batteries are best. Best for capacity, long life and safe.
Others maybe 4000-5000 mah but can not be bigger than the original and may be dangerous, I guarantee it. Original batteries are about 15$ at Aliexpress

Hi @kdr3120,
Problem is there are so many fakes all looking alike. Which seller at Aliexpress did you buy from that actually delivered GENUINE LG G3 batteries? Mind posting the link?
I got one from Lazada which looked exactly like the real thing but it was obviously fake cos the battery life sucked.

There is a new double capacity 2200mAH battery in Expansys website:
http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=183044
Wonder how is the thickness increased by this new battery? Is there any impact to the GPS radio as seen in some extended battery in original Diamond?
I'm sure that the thickness increased!
Otherwise not be sold with cover. It is like the diamond 1.
This one is much more modest (1350 mAh), but seems to fit within the original back cover:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIAMOND2-LONG-LIFE-BA-S360-COMPATIBLE/dp/B002AANPYG
It seems that extended batteries are appearing on the net already, nice, I would like to have something a little bit more beefy than the original one (2200 mAh may be overkill), to be able to use my TD2 on the move while not worrying about saving battery (GPS and wifi while away from plugs for 1 day for example). A battery slightly larger than the orginal, plus the original as a backup, should cover all my uses cases...
The website mentioned the extended battery only price at GBP8.90. Wish buyer may get the goods.

Interrested about your test too: how does it fit, how long for charging it (compared to standard one), and of course the most important thing: does it offer increased battery life

I bought the same one, but the size is much smaller and a bit wider than the original, as I explain in my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3943769#post3943769
I told the guy, and he told me there must be some mistake, and he' ll send it again. How does yours look like size-wise? Is it working properly?
any news on the 1350 battery?
The issue is solved, as I explain in my relevant post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525090&page=2
The battery I was given was wrong. The guy sent me the correct one now, and everything seems fine.
Does anyone know what type of extended batteries to expect from third parties for the galaxy s ii? I remember there were some rather hefty and bland looking ones at the early stages of the galaxy s release. Did they get better/better looking and how soon do you expect the first ones will be available for the s ii?
I personally don't like extended batteries and I would only use it if it was something that made the whole phone bigger(but not much bigger) because having it all slim, then suddenly bulge out where the battery is, just doesn't work.
Well, it already has a hump on the bottom, like the galaxy s, so making the hump the new thickness and evening it out throughout the back wouldn't make it too much thicker. Some people don't care about thickness anyway and it could be a good powerphone with a big 2400 mah+ battery.
I use 2000mah original Samsung battery and it takes my phone looks more beautiful in my point of view. The thickness of back cover will increase to be the same level as bottom hump(where there is a speaker hole)
But there are many 3rd parties battery with much larger capacity (3500 mah I think?) and with the new back cover. You should look in eBay.

lol i wondered the very same thing
Now that I'm using Android and my phone's life has been extended, I wanted to extend its battery life too. Branded extended life batteries are really expensive at retail. Seidio and mugen both sell 3000+mah for something like $80. HTC sells a smaller 2150 for around $40.
According to batteryboss.org, HTC's 2150 battery (rhod170) is pretty much the only battery that meets its mah rating, so I went hunting for a good price on one. Found this one for $5 shipped, or $7.51 for two if you want to better your odds. Figured it was either fake or used or otherwise had issues, but I got mine in the mail and it has zero contact wear and looks the spitting image of the legit rhod170. Seller has 5 left at the time of this posting. You can easily find other batteries advertised as rhod170 for $10 shipped, but it's always anyone's guess if they're legit or not. I had to roll the dice with no idea, and I thought someone else would appreciate hearing that this particular seller shipped 2 rhod170s that very much appear to be legit. Took about 1 week to receive from NY.
You need the extended cover to go with it. The cheapest I could find was from batteries4less, which you can shave another 10% off with save10 coupon code. It does look exactly like the OEM, with both HTC and verizon branding, however my particular one bulges a little in the middle when attached, like it isn't latching as well there. It isn't really noticeable unless you're looking for it, and it could be the fault of one of the drops my phone has taken over the years. Shipped quick, maybe 3 business days.
With both battery and cover, YMMV. I won't know for a couple of days at least what the lifespan is. And I'm still looking for a program that I can use to get accurate, easy-to-compare bench information from. Suggestions on that front are welcome. My original battery 1500 mah battery has been in use nearly 24/7 for almost 2 years. I'm not sure a comparison to that would be helpful to anyone.
See (someone else's) pictures here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578388&page=2
How much longer is the battery working?
Since my last battery was in use for almost 2 years, I'm not sure comparison to it is worth anything. Battery life was atrocious. I basically kept it perpetually plugged in with just a few hours a day away from an outlet of some sort. I had cables everywhere to keep it charged. Now I can go 2 days of moderate use without plugging it in. I'm very pleased, especially given the price.
Couple of months ago, i bought the rhod 170 from ebay, using it since than, but to be honestly, the batterylife isnt much longer than the original one.
I think i have bought a FAKE one, this one is RED ( not black like at the picture )

5usd is very cheap ( maybe too cheap ) are you sure it is orginal htc battery, and no chinese garbage?
This website had the same battery
http://www.wirelessground.com/tilt2extbatt.html
It looks like the orginal htc battery, you can also look to the video with the guy who looks like he woke up couple of seconds ago, and inmediately started making the video. The website you gave is 6 times cheaper.. isnt that a little bit
suspiciously?

I have no new information. Mine still looks real and it still gives me better battery life than my OEM 1500 ever did, even though XDAndroid isn't as battery friendly as winmo.
If you're considering grabbing one of the same, you're gambling, just a little less than if you got a similarly priced rhod170 from a seller with no positive feedback yet. You can hedge a little more by buying 2 and hoping at least one works to spec. If you want a guarantee, you'll have pay $40ish to a well-known outfit that takes returns.
The cover on the picture you posted looks very thick, thicker than you actually need.
I bought this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-TOUCH-P...ccessories&hash=item23148ba3ce#ht_1765wt_1397
Its a high quality cover, and its smaller than the one you showed. No need to carry a ticker phone if it can be smaller . it fits the 2150 mah battery perfect
Looks the same thickness to me (though black is a slimming color), and there's no spare room in mine. Both are made by HTC, it's just the one you got was designed for the GSM while mine was CDMA.
I have ordered 2 pieces. lets see what it gives me. Do you have any information about how to use it first time ? ( fully charge ) downcharge etc..

I've read varying views on that. Lithium Ion batteries like these don't have memory effect, however, there might still be metering issues (relating your phone's ability to measure how much battery power is actually left). In android, I used a utility that wiped out past information collected on my 1500mah (don't know if there is a winmo analog) and did a full charge and full discharge right off the bat. Since then, I've kept it topped off as there is unanimous agreement that you shouldn't discharge lions often.
That's what I did, but I can't promise it's the best way. I have no inside information, that's just what I've culled from contradictory sources.
Do they also ship to the netherlands?
I couldn't tell ya, but since the particular seller I linked is out of stock of the batteries, I'm not sure it matters.
i like chichitec's slim extended battery, bought 2 of them with a wall chager for $30 a while back, 1900mAh each. One of them lasts me 2 days but I full charge at night out of habit and not wanting to be stuck without phone on 2nd day even though I only reach 60-70% after first day lol
fortunz, i see you have a rhod500, do you know if that battery works with a rhod400 as well?
---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------
Correct me if I'm wrong - but after searching, it appears the answer is yes.
Would the BTE6875 be equivalent to the RHOD170?
My 2 cents
Mugen batteries are the best. They are the only extended slim batteries I have ever tried that actually live up to the name extended and outperform the stock batt. I have had 4 of their batteries for various devices and this week I just got the first for my Rhod and what a difference! Don't know why I waited so long to get one... I guess the rhod was just supposed to tie me over til WP7 came out... but now it looks like I'm trying to hold out for windows 8 (or 64bit cpu).
At any rate you can try to find a good one on Ebay for $10 and buy 4 different ones in the process, or you can do what I would recommend and spend $35 just buy Mugen.

Anyone try out this battery? I'm not sure if it's really good compared to the more popular Sedio Innocell batteries. This one is a really cheap price compared to the Seido's right now since it's 55% off...and it's a little more power. Is this too good to be true or should I get it?
I won't recommend it, a friend of my bought it, at the very moment he started using it, issues began to show on screen, got lots of bugs, even wiping battery

People: stop listening (and reproducing) the archaic fears of China-made hardware.
Every manufacturer makes it in China and then add their profit and voila-.40 dollar batteries with original cost of under 5!
I have bought at least a dozen batteries for cell phones from ebay, always choosing the cheapest. I never had a problem.

I'm wondering quality of this and ecell gold brother.
Bought it. I am quite sure that these ampere numbers are way to optimistic.
My experience with several non original batteries throughout different android phones is that talking, about same size batteries, ther is nothing like the original one.

I'm from the Philippines and the service centers here doesn't have stock for replacement anymore which makes sense since phone is pretty old now. I'm trying to look online where I can get battery replacements but i have no idea what's good or not. most of the ones I've seen have reviews where they say that the capacity is lower than the designed capacity and/or their battery dies fast. most of the batteries sold from online shops here costs like around 500 php which is around $10.
