I'm wonder if there is any batteries out there that you have seen from a brand you trust that use the stock diamentions as the stock battery, eg doesn't require extended back casing, only one I know of is the Seidio's 1400mAh, is there anything higher? Better brand, better price?
the only ones i've seen bigger have the extended batteries. they go up to 2600mAh.
buy one. believe me. its worth the big back/ugly bump.
function>aesthetics anyday(at least for me)
I already have one 2600mAh from Seidio, I do enjoy the extra grip when qwerty typing but I don't enjoy it in my pocket. Thus the reason I'm asking, rather get 2 x 1400mAh batts and shove one in my wallet if you know what I mean
i feel the exact opposite. i dont mind it as much when im not using it. when im holding it i cant stand it. but i do like the fact i dont have to keep a charger handy all the time. i know theres a couple normal size batteries around that SAY there 1600mAh and up but there kind of shaky to me. no brand name, barely even a name at all half the time. i wont trust anything besides seidio for extended life, i have a seidio 3400mAh i think in my tilt and its EPIC.

yea the link is here

The results will suprise you...
so it seems like it may not be entirely beneficial to get the 1600(or 1700) mah battery?
Keep in mind that only HTC original batteries have the finest "part" in switching into tickle charge mode (the moment when the battery gets full and quits charging)
2600 mAh battery on G1
Hey guys, so I purchased a 2600 mAh battery for my G1. I LOVE it! My G1 stays on for days! Despite having the extended back on the phone I think it was well worth it.I got it on EBay for pretty darn cheap too. Anyways...I don't have any screen shots of it as of right now but I'll try to get some up. My phone does look like a brick but the battery life is improved so much! Look them up on EBay if you would like to buy one,anywhere else is probably a rip off. Anyways...just thought I'd give my two cents. Take it easy guys! TTYL!
I really want the Seidio 2600 but I've gotten attached to my hard case, it has the hinged feet, and I'm not sure that 1400 would be worth the cash for the amount gained IMO... If Seidio made a hard case with the feet on the back it would be perfect.
Just bought a seidio 2600, 51 shipped from amazon. It's a little high compaired to the 2300 for like 30 or so from ebay, but I think it's worth it for a good branded 3rd party accessory.

people have been talking about a 1600mah battery made by Andida, a Hong Kong-based company. from what it seems, they make quality batteries and some people at XDA have them. it fits into the regular G1 back... it's on ebay: obo_hk or something. $10. otherwise yeah the 2600mah seidio's are best. i just bought the seidio or would switch to the Andida. maybe my dad will let me do a return since the Seidio was bought on Amazon
The stock G1 feels nice in the hand, but it lacks that "You can beat a man to death with it" charm...

Hi,
Found this link and its kinda cheap compared to Seido. Anyone have tried this before and any review?
http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=1173
I bought this battery from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PRCU0U/ref=ox_ya_os_product
It was $23 shipped. Very good battery its best to run it down then recharge it. I can leave gps/3g on all day and not fear a dead battery after a few hours!
Pretty decent battery and half the price of the Seido. I've been using it for a few months now. The only problem is the back cover only ships in one color (black). Otherwise I would recommend it.

wow. it is the same product at the amazon. now we got cheaper price. thanks for the head up!
Still waiting on mine from china. 10-21 Days, that is crazy.
What I really wonder regarding all those extended batteries:
Why do the manufacturers leave so much space unused? I mean if you get the new back cover, it must be as thick as the battery. But on top and below the battery there is just air floating around between the phone electronics and the extended cover, where battery power could be placed.
I would be glad to see a manufacturer use this space as well - so the battery might be formed somehow like a flat T. Would be a little more complicated to produce but might well be worth an extra 1000 mAh without making the phone thicker - that should convince some customers I guess.
Becksman
So I found this battery on Amazon about a week ago for $12.99.. Ordered it and I am extremely impressed. Running Stock Rom + Root, constant use daily.I was really getting pissed off with the battery that came with the phone, it just doesn't do it justice.
Pro's - Been using the phone (50% Brightness, Downloading videos, youtubing, texting, phone calls, tinkering with GO Launcher stuff, almost played through a whole game of Words with Friends) Came off the charger at 3 P.M. today, legit screen on using the phone action about 4-5 hours tonight and it's now 11:25 P.M., battery is just hitting 65%! Extremely impressed with the performance of this battery and would recommend it to anyone that needs some extra juice.
Cons - It makes the phone about twice as thick towards the bottom half (I actually like this, it makes it much easier to hold on to and just grip in general). Also adds a significant amount of weight to the phone but nothing annoying, just saying.
UNSURE - Not sure about the NFC Capabilities of the battery, no one around me here has a phone with NFC so I can't test it... Honestly for the performance I could give a S*** less about NFC whether I keep it or lose it.

Awesome price! Great buy for trip battery.
Sadly with that thickness, I would rather club baby seals
Nice find, going to have to think about this buy some more.
so are you able to charge normally? or is it like the other batteries where it throws you into a boot loop?
Just got an extended battery myself. Yeah it's thicker but using a phone all day without worrying about charging it, worth it for me.
Yeah, I just ordered this one too.
I had one on my captivate and I really liked it.
What does it matter if your phone is thin but you keep getting warnings that you need to charge it?
On my captivate if I got down to half of the battery with the larger battery I didn't have to worry, I had good 8 hours of use left.
Just confirmed it does NOT have this boot-loop issue common with the aftermarket batteries. Operates the exact same as the stock battery, still unsure of the NFC capabilities.

just received mine yesterday over 20 hours still 65 percent battery remaining. Will post a screenshot when the battery gets to 10 percent.

Sorry, but I think GTmax stuff is not that good, I purchased 3 batteries made by GTmax, there is no description of mA with just some generic label. Also, out of the 3, 2 were junk lasting only about 10hours with minimal use. Only one battery was decent, pretty close to OEM.
Also, looking at the battery debug info *#*#INFO#*#*, these batteries are more volatile than OEM, as the amps and temperture fluctuate more than normal.
Good Battery Possible Bad Cover?
I turned my phone off to put this new battery in. I fully charged it before turning it on.
It lasted 42 Hours before it died.
I was running Bluetooth, Pandora and Wifi Medium-Heavy Duty.
So the battery seems good, But it seems the back cover wasn't crafted all that well UNLESS I just got a bad one. It seems like a corner of it won't stay pressed down. Its not a huge gap, but it is somewhat noticeable.
Is anyone else think that their back cover doesn't fit all that well or is it just me?
Can someone post some pics of this on your phone?
The pics on Amazon don't show it on the phone and don't show a side-view of the new back cover.
...nevermind, pics in first few posts. company blocked the images
Got mine earlier today I will post back if there are any issues.
I'm not one to create a post, but I just thought I would share the amazing results I'm having with this battery. I am a very heavy user, so the stock battery would need to be charged at least once to get me through the day. I was very skeptical prior to ordering the battery, however, after all the reviews I read on amazon I had to give the battery a shot.
I received the battery yesterday with a 58% charge and I used the phone sparingly. The next morning (today), I was going to vegas, which is the perfect opportunity to test the battery out. I took the phone off the charger at 530 am, fully charged, did some Web browsing/instagram/facebook etc. I used Pandora and Google maps the entire way to vegas which is a 3 hour trip. With everything at the max settings including screen brightness, all social media syncing and the battery is still going strong. I have not charged the battery since this morning at 530 am and it is now 1135 pm with the battery sitting at 4%. If you're on the fence about purchasing this battery, do it! Here are some screen shots for you all to enjoy:
One more thing, this was all done without wifi. I was on 4glte most of the time, but i also ran into areas where i had no service on the way to vegas. I wanted to see how much I could push the battery and it did extremely well.
Last shots before it goes lol

It's not too thick, even with the seidio extended dilex case on it isn't too bulky.

thanks.. seems like that's one of the best ones? I heard the stock anker cover sucks
In my opinion, it is the best case for this battery. The stock anker cover is very slick and shiny, however it fits perfectly. The slick and shiny drawbacks didn't bother me too much, because I knew I was going to have the seidio extended dilex case on it. I was more concerned about the fitment of the anker cover, and it fit like a glove.
would you mind posting some pictures of the phone with the case?

I have this battery and it fits perfectly under the seidio extended ledger view. Basically a S view cover. I assume it would fit any of the seidio extended covers.
Here you go :
I'm using the mugen battery cover with kickstand and wireless charging with this battery. Perfect fit. They are only $19.99, but you have to request they send you the one with qi charging. Here's the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/351003755089?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I personally don't think I'll get a extended battery with this beautifully designed device but I'll leave this here for anyone who may be looking for one but don't want the complete bulk of the Zerolemon .. This one doesn't look to be quite as big :thumbup: cheerz
http://www.amazon.com/Extended-Battery-Hyperion-Compatible-International/dp/B00NLJAEJO
And a different back plate which looks to be better for grip and maybe a little protection .. Is a Tpu case made for this battery style I believe http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PIBNMEM/ref=pd_aw_sims_3?pi=AC_SY230_QL60

Well I'm recently looking for reviews for this battery cover too. I'm very curious about the thickness of it since it seems the company did select a good angle to kind of make up a illusion of a slim design. And no case for the phone that is having this cover on, that's another problem
True. I'm curious about the same things .....

I ordered mine yesterday from Hyperion website for $24.99 (free shipping, no tax; $4.99 on Amazon). When I get it I will upload some pictures. Stock battery was good in G2, but G3 display is the biggest hog for me.
Received a battery today. I uploaded 3 pics just to show it to the public.
I also measured weight of the phone:
+ without battery: 114g
+ with OEM: 162g
+ with Hyperion: 208g
Now I'm going to measure battery life for a few next days.
I put 2 dimes and 1 nickel to show an extra thickness. Check at home
I'm a heavy user and after one day I can say that this battery is outstanding. Normally I had to charge my phone at least once during the day. With Hyperion I used only 1/3 of juice. It compensate an extra bulk
I don't use NFC, so lack of it is not a problem for me.

Sweet review, I bought mine a few days ago can't wait to try it when it gets here
I don't really mind how thick or heavy my phone is as long as it's not ridiculous (like 5 pounds or an inch thick or more) so I got the zerolemon battery. I can't imagine this really saves THAT much space. But then again, with double the stock capacity, it should be useful in either case.
Can you put pictures of it on the phone?

I m from Germany and since hyperion don't ship to Germany i was looking for a alternative.
There are lot of companies that have the exact same battery whit cover. Just other brand.
In Germany there is for example "Akku King" or a no name company named "vbh".
I got the vbh battery because the one from "Akku king" was not in Stock.
The battery looks exactly like the hyperion. So far battery life is awesome!!! After 6 hours standby and approximately 3h screen time and some telefon calls i still got 72%.
Also the new cover and battery give you more grip. The phone doesn't tend to slip like whit the Orginal battery and back cover. I will add pictures from the phone with the backcover installed later.

Yes you are right i also doubt that the battery had 7500mAh but 6000mAh for sure. Because it looks exactly the same like the other 6000mAh batteryd. The mugen is interesting but there is no silicon or tpu case for them available. Whit the 6000mAh battery you can at least mount a bumper for screen and edges protection.
But i m eager to read you're review on the mugen battery.
