I am looking to upgrade my battery, but as I read through these forums all i see is people complaining about crappy Chinese made battery's that work good at 1st but then suck after a month or so.
What brand has the best quality?
SEIDIO
4U
MU**** (some name i can't remember)
anyone have an opinion
Thank You
If you're looking for a battery that doesn't need an extended cover, I can recommend the Andida. I picked up an Andida 1600mAh battery off of eBay, shipped from Hong Kong. I've only had it for less than 2 weeks, so I couldn't tell you about performance degredation. However, I can tell you that the battery does perform significantly better than the OEM HTC battery that came with the phone. I did a little bootlegged battery test with the Andida and found that it had about 30% better battery life than the stock HTC one. Good luck finding the right battery...

i can confirm this too
I've talked about this many times on here. This is the BEST battery for the G1 IMO. http://tinyurl.com/g1batt. Can't say enough about it and I have six months of use to back it up.

you're referring to Mugen. and idk about the others, like the chinese and stuff. the Andida seems to be quality, wish i knew about it before i bought the 2600mah seidio...
everyone also says that Seidio is quality. out of the list here i would recommend you to them. try the andida i guess. man oh man why did i spend $50 when i could have spent $15... and even three andida batteries for the same price >.<
The only battery I personally would ever recommend to anybody.

So I bought a really nice, 4 month old, rooted unlocked i717 a few months old to sub for my TMobile S2 on occasion. Battery life was kinda lousy so I looked online and found the Anker had good reviews. I bought one, noticed it was just slightly heavier, and in use that it had noticeably better life than the stock one.
I ended up getting a few minor scratches on that phone's screen and even though I originally loved it (better size than the Note 2, I like the four buttons, same sim size as my S2 for easy swapping) I started to hate it JUST because of the scratches.
I just bought another one, for much less! with AT&T JB, with more accessories. This one is also rooted though I'll need to get it unlocked for TMobile. ANYWAYS,.... I plan to use that Anker battery in this one and sell the other Note and perhaps my T869. I wanted a Note 2 for the battery and refinements but couldn't pass this up, especially as I prefer the proportions and buttons of the original. This one's coming with better cases and a screen protector.
Has anyone measured a good condition stock battery and a 2700 Anker? I know I got a noticeable day to day difference but would like to see actual proof. I got a lot of good news today, sorry about the rambling!
How is the original Note's Defender case? Most of the reviews I've found have been for the Note 2 and mention the screen protector being raised a bit and the home button letting dust in. I don't mind keeping a regular screen protector underneath the Otterbox protector to snug it up and protect it; I'm used to my S2 in two sandwich bags on the beach. I'd still really like a sand/waterproof case if one ever becomes available (and for my T989!). I'm so close to buying an S3 just to get the Seidio Obex! This phone's coming with a Commuter and a screen protector.
Also, are there any good one-piece 2 amp chargers? I've learned to carry a charger to some of my shifts, scorekeeping and such, and I like a nice compact charger to stick in my pocket. My older Samsung charger is nice and compact but barely levels out my current Note when it's being used.
Thanks, and sorry for the verbosity!
Sorry!
To summarize, i717 2700 Anker measured against stock, i717 Defender, and one piece tablet chargers.
Edit-there was a post between my two, dunno what happened.

I'm confused? Is the 2700mah Anker battery stock size, or extended? If it's stock, can you link me to amazon, as I'd be willing buy and test it
I'm currently using an extended battery for my Note but it's wearing on me with it's size, and I'd be glad to try other alternatives.

2500 is stock .... 2700 is obviously extended ...it fits like the OEM battery
™
Mine fits perfect, no back cover bump or anything. I really noticed a solid improvement over stock. I still have both batteries but no way to measure them. I stopped using the stock one and, to make up for still only ok battery life, stick it on a charger when I'm at home using it for prolonged periods.
Any update on this battery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Not from me, sorry! Once I noticed a decent improvement from stock I haven't used stock on either Note, even though the newer one came with two Samsung batteries and I still have the one from the first one.
Where did you guys bought the Anker from? I checked their Amazon site and its over 50 dollars, the rest of phone model batteries are about 15 something but why is note i717 so expensive??
hey all,
Im thinking about getting an extended battery for my note, probably a 5200mah. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before or if anyone thinks it would work. There is a tpu case thats meant to cover phones with extended batteries. Ad says n7000 but ive seen another ad that lists the n7000 and i717 as being compatible.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/S021-NEW-TPU...hone_PDA_Cases&var&hash=item27ce2a9ae0&_uhb=1
what do ya think?
Hi, I bought both the tpu case($5) and the 5200mha extended battery with back cover($10) from eBay and am pretty satisfied. The case fits real well around this extended back cover, not being the best case only because I would prefer something more rugged, however it has a hole for charms. The extended battery is pretty good so far as well. I am a really heavy user, and this 5200mha battery lasts me for a while, definitely time and half of the original 2600mha battery. I read forums using my phone and am constantly flashing roms or playing/downloading new apps. In my personal opinion I think this battery and case are worth the $15.
triavq,
So how do you like the battery and case? I know it's been many months, but I am curious?
I have the same one ordered (in Black) but not received yet..long way from china to here!
I going to try and squeeze that case around a 7000mAh battery and back cover. I don't like the squared off back cover that comes with some of those extended batteries.
I am hoping the 7000mAh battery isn't much thicker than the 5200mAh ones.
I have seen 3 battery case options. There is some cheap Chinese one all over Amazon and Ebay. It has different manufacture names but is completely the same.
The other 2 are the official one and the Mophie version. Is there anything in between? Not the cheap Chinese one for 25 or the expensive Mophie one for 100. Thanks
I have the official one - you can find them for under $60 on Ebay. It's great, no problems with it, does exactly what you'd want a battery case to do.

The wireless one? How much mAh does it lose during the charging, more or less than a wired one?
I received the mophie battery case about a week ago. With the case fully charged, and the phone also fully charged, I've gone exactly a full 48 hours without having to plug into a wall outlet (and there was still 10% left). It's a great battery case and well built. I do wish it was a bit thinner though, but I guess that's unrealistic since there needs to be a battery inside the case!
In terms of other options, Incipio has just released a battery case for the s7, and it's about 30 dollars cheaper than the mophie, but I don't think it has the wireless charging option like the mophie does. However, the Incipio has a significantly larger battery (3700mAh vs Mophie's 2950mAh). I'm contemplating whether to return the mophie and pick up the Incipio and save 30 dollars, since I don't have a wireless charger (I had ordered the mophie before Incipio has released their battery case).
Someone posted his thoughts on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/4eruno/two_days_with_the_galaxy_s7_backpack_battery_case/ and I bought it too, its fine. Expensive but its well built and does a good job. I don't trust any of the chinese mAh specs so I wouldn't compare them without a real review...
I just bought the Incipio for its large battery size and slimness compared to other cases. Wireless charging is not really important to me as much as making my phone last the day! It's on it's way, so I'll let you know if its terrible/awesome. As a side note, I got 15% off with a code from the website, making it less than $60 in total.
I just received the Incipio one yesterday so I could compare it with the Mophie and decide which to keep. while the Incipio is well built, I had issues with the fit. Firstly, it was pulling up my screen protector in some areas. Second, the top frame that clips into place would not fit properly once the phone was actually installed. I can take pictures of the case itself, but since I don't have another camera I can't take pictures of the fitting issues.
Considering all this, I'd go with the Mophie. Going to be returning the Incipio

I own and have used one of the "cheap" Chinese battery cases. Over an extended Memorial Day weekend it served me well. I don't know whether the claimed 4200 mAh is accurate. What I can say is that during a day of heavy use while away from a regular electric supply, I never was in danger of running short. Nor did it add an uncomfortable weight. While the more expensive, name-brand battery cases may bring something extra to the table, I expect that, for the most part, battery cases have become a commodity item. Indeed, I've come to the same view regarding wireless charging pads.
Any suggestions regarding slimmest? It seems the thinnest one comes in at around 0.69in with 4500mah. I just want 2000mah. Anyone know of the thinnest battery case on the market?
According to me Mophie battery case is the best one. The 3300mah battery case can provide 60% extra battery to your samsung galaxy s7 edge.
I bought 2 of these battery cases from AliExpress. Claimed Mah is 5200,however from they manage to charge my phone from 0-85% with light usage. Which i'm satisfied with. I would've thought 5200 would've charged my phone completely and then some but the manufacturers claim is that transfer loss accounts for the remaining 25-30%.
I'm not complaining because they do the job for just $20 apiece. Anyone familiar with batteries who could confirm that due to transfer loss while charging a 5000mah battery will only charge a 3600mah phone to less than 100%.??

sounds like too much of a loss IMO.
Personally when I had my zerolemon extended battery for the S4 it was perfect. They're a great company. The 7500MaH is available for the s7 and i dont doubt it will give you ALL of that extra power. They have great customer service and are always willing to help where needed.
Has anyone tried one for their S7 yet? it looks pretty massive but then for an extra day or two of life on it, i could deal with that
i had a zero lemon one for my s3 it was great thinking of getting one for my s7 now

ive got there 7500mah one for the s7 its sweet.
its now 20:40 and im on 100% battery and the case still has 3/4 bars charge left with heavy usage (you can turn the battery case on/off)
i cant post a screenshot of the battery life as the phone thinks its being charged from the genuine charger (it charges quick)

and i mean proper nokia, 6610 etc the battery life on it is still better than my s7 and its on its original battery lol
It's not what you buy its what you build
Side note, the zerolemon s7 case also fits my girlfriend's s6 edge perfectly.

Is there any good comparison of the Mophie, Incipio or Zerolemon. I'd love to see some?
I ordered a Zerolemon, have had them in the past and have been good. I'll report back when I receive it and use it for a few days. 7500 us a good bit extra, should last me at least 2 days maybe 3 through the work week.

hello guys, i ordered normal 3200mah battery for note 3 but seller sent me 6400mah by mistake, altough the phone is now heavy and bulky battery life is amazing so im thinking to keep it, just dont like the fact that i dont have any protective case on my phone now (btw this is my 2nd note 3, previous one broke)
is there any cheap protective cases for note 3 with extended battery, cant find anything on ebay with fair price and shipping to eu?
this is the battery and the back cover > https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51ilhaUjA-L._SX522_.jpg , if there is such a case - dont know if all 6400mah cases are standardized and will fit.

Zerolemon, Anker and Hyperion all have this 6400 mAh battery and cases. So you could check their sites for stock.
Check if that 6400 battery aint damaged, aint it kinda weird u got a better battery by mistake?
they're practically giving away note 3 extended batteries and screen protectors since the phone is so old now
laza $1.99 6400 battery just bought 2 and have been using laza for years. will try to keep the note 3 until they start making phones w/replaceable batteries again instead of phones that look like works of art
I considered a battery case for my phone but just decided to get a normal case instead and bought an external 16000mAh battery. Can charge more than one thing with it and it holds about five Note 3 charges.
