went to the real mugen power website, checked on the extended battery, it is out of stock, you can order but wont receive until november
ordered my seidio extended battery for the photon 4g it will arrive tomorrow. there are a few counterfeit mugen websites on the web so be careful, mugen power batteries are quite good.
as for cheapo chinese batteries you get what you pay for, many chinese batteries are labeled with exaggerated claims as to their mah rating, several of these batteries have been found to be no larger than the standard ones containing weights to make them feel authentic, never trust chinese knockoff batteries, some will also damage your device and some have been known to catch fire, saving a few bucks on a cheap chinese battery that saves you a few bucks today and ends up costing you your device.......suddenly not soo cheap anymore you know the old saying....you get what you pay for
When I first saw this post, I was all over it until I saw the extended door. I do not want any battery (or accessory for that matter) that adds size or weight to the device. With that said, for my and other members knowledge, will it fit in car dock?

As I said the REAL mugen power does not currently have the battery in stock nor have they ever, there are however phony websites claiming to have an extended battery for the photon, these are counterfeit products and not genuine mugen power batteries, there was soo much confusion and soo many soo called mugen websites that I spoke directly with the company.
They are awaiting shipping of the batteries so anyone who orders them from the genuine mugenpower site will not see their product shipped until some time in november.
Most ebay batteries are fakes, mugenpower does not sell batteries on ebay, chinese scammers sell knockoffs on ebay for cheap, they ruin your phone and catch fire, thanks but not thanks, you get what you pay for.

I find extended batteries dont add that much bulk and actually make the evo and now my photon easier to handle, most people who try an extended battery for a week tend to keep them and love them, you'll just have to find a diffferent case to carry your phone in, easily solved at best buy or other stores that sell generic cell phone cases for phones with larger screens. As noted before, this battery is extremely light compared to the evo's extended battery, I was surprised really. As for a car dock? not sure if the extended would work or not, but you could always use the regular battery for that purpose and swap out the extended when not using in the car dock. These batteries WILL get you through a day, people tend to complain about the bulk havent tried one and lets face it, your carrying extra **** now ..........another standard battery or a charger and charging it up throughout the day or in the car, extended batteries free you from that burden. if you dont like it you have 30 days to return it if you buy it from seidio, best buy also sells seidio products so the battery may show up their, the retail packaging at best buy does not bear the seidio name but they carry the seidio extended battery and several of their cases, very fancy packaging, certainly not rocketfish lol.
Hi, I saw this in eBay , will it be of any serious issue if I use this battery with my photon , I just ordered for one , thought it was a good deal coz my battery hardly lasts for 5 hours , thats it. I'm an entrepreneur and I need to make lots of calls and emails . Like 7 hours a day I need to divert my photon's number to my BB coz the fone lasts literally 5 hours . Any suggestions .,

that battery on ebay is a chinese knockoff, I wouldnt trust it, also look at the back cover, the speaker grill looks like it will obscure sound, I highly recommend the seidio extended battery for the business man who needs extra power, ebay batteries seldom live up to their claims, I have taken some apart to find that they have no more cells or fewer cells and power than a standard battery, some of these can also damage your phone, seidios battery is only 69 dollars, thats twenty bucks more than a genuine standard motorola battery and you get 3500 mah instead of 1600. when it comes to after market batteries I only trust mugen power and seidio ( beware of counterfeit sites imitating mugenpower) the seidio extended fits the phone perfectly, much better speaker grill, had to turn my volume down, mugeenpower batteries are generally good with fit and finish as well. at the official mugen power batteries site you will find that these batteries are currently not in stock, only the counterfeit sites have them "in stock" so heads up if you go with mugen, the official site says you can order but will not be shipped intil november 4th.
The Battery is on its way , I'll buy a mugen itself as u have suggested, I wont use this ebay battery then .,
i bet ur phone case wont fit with that

This is totally legit - there are many mugen fakes out there. I'm posting a lot of news about mugen cuz I'm in touch with their representative. They are quite open for communication so if you have questions, just shoot them a message or add them on Facebook.
mugen claims
According to this web site mugen falls short of it's claims often enough.
http://batteryboss.org/
Just ordered a 3600mah from MUGENBATTERY.com. Hope that is the legit site. Price was $88.00. Anyone know of an app that will let me know how much juice is left in the extended battey? I'm running CM9 Alpha...
Battery circle might help. I've heard problems with the photon not reading battery percentage correctly. That was on the seidio battery tho. It would stay at 1% for like 5hrs. Any issues with the mugen one?

Still waiting for UPS to deliver it, but will post my finds ASAP. I heard an app called Battery Monitor may help...
Just a FYI, battery circle will not help with the issue of extended batteries not registering the correct percentage left.
Even on CM7 the percentages don't display correctly? Our on any other ROM?

Just got my 3600 Mugen Power extended battery last night. Came 100% charged out of the box. I love this thing and can tell it is quality built. Phone actually feels better in the hand with it as opposed to with stock battery & cover. I'm running CM9 Alpha ICS (not so great with battery consumption) but my phone lasted 12 hours with heavy use. Still need to break it in too (instructions said 4 to 5 100% to 0% runs)!
Also got my battery indicator to calibrate with it as well...
Here is the trick: You must charge the extended battery to 100%, power off device, boot into recovery and then wipe battery stats and reboot phone. Leave the phone on until the battery drains totally dead and the phone shuts off automatically because of it. After this charge the phone back to 100% without removing it from the charger (took 4 hours for me) and enjoy, you're now calibrated to the extended battery.
Nice I just got the trexcell one off Amazon. Reviews were good. If it is crap then at least it was cheap lol. I over night it. Should be here tomorrow

You said it actually feels better in hand, I'm sure the added weight has to do with that. What about pocket size though? Is it a pain to get in and out of a pair of jeans? Just flashed CM 7.2 and I'm doing the whole calibrate thing. I hope what you detailed works, good thing I've got all day to play with it and run it down from 100% to 0 before I have to go out with it tomorrow.

Just wondering.
Not sure but HOLY HELL that's one expensive battery. The most I've seen was $50+
There is a MUCH better alternative to that one on Amazon for about 20 bucks + $4.99 shipping: http://amzn.to/xtT3Sf
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22752635#post22752635
Ive always had good luck with seidio and mugen batteries. little worried bout those cheaper solutions on amazon. etc.. plus i have the white note. so the white mugen would look better.. I guess i could order, and if it doesnt work, just return it, lol
I hear you about being cautions. I am the same way about the cheap eBay knock offs. But this is from an Amazon vendor (somewhat better selection criteria and overall support) and based on my experience - i've been using the Hyperion batteries for a while now - they are just as good as Mugen. I was just pointing out a few alternatives for folks that might be reading this later...
I'm assuming none of the current N7000 Extended batteries will work on the AT&T Note since N7000 Battery covers don't fit and that's what these extended battery covers are molded after.
I've heard this on numerous occasions also. I would wait to buy one made to fit "i717" - I believe the back covers are different.

ALSO, you will lose NFC capability since NFC is mounted to the back cover

Let me know how the battery is. I'm looking at the battery without the back cover..
Get it bro... i want too.. i've heard another forum a couple guys say they get a full day with it, and thats with HEAVY USAGE.
Or get juicedefender... i went from 6hrs to about a full day. turns off data when screen goes off and push data checks every 15 minutes. that will keep you happy in the meantime. im a heavy user too!

Just received a set of a battery charger/stand and a battery, both original Samsung products, ordered through eBay a couple of weeks ago. They came sooner than expected and are in excellent condition and quality. Based on my past experience, the original Samsung batteries do last longer than the imitation products and also provide longer phone operation time. The seller even included a pair of LCD protection films! The battery charger charges the battery inside a hidden compartment and provides a nice stand for the phone, even with a TPU case. @$39, it's a good purchase, I think, better than getting inferior imitating products. Highly recommended.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260928923469#ht_3831wt_952
While leaving a positive feedback to the seller, I discovered that he has many more high quality Notes accessories.
Definitely worth browsing them.
I'd love to jump on that but I am extremely skeptical of eBay with OEM. Are you sure all the items are OEM? I mean, people say OEM all the time but in the end, Samsung never produced it.
This seller's store only handles the original Samsung OEM products out of Korea. These aren't some Chinese imitating products. I paid attention to the location of the seller and checked out his store in advance. Products that I received are of high quality, all made in Korea.

I might have to jump on this tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. My battery has been pretty weak and I'd prefer not to send the whole phone in.

For the price that better be OEM.

Yes, that looks pretty good and the shipping should be faster since it's located in the States. Nice. What I received were excellent also, btw, but I would buy from a store in the States for a faster delivery.

It's under $30 from Amazon right now (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076Z3FSQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details). If you get it directly from them, they won't have it in stock until next Tuesday, but it's pretty cheap. Plus, I prefer getting it directly from them to ensure that it's real.

You might want to verify that it actually includes the battery, as the battery is not clearly indicated in the product title on Amazon:
"Samsung ETC-CPK1E1GSTA Battery Charger 2500mAh with Stand and Travel Adapter Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717 - Retail Packaging - Black"
All I see is "Battery Charger" despite the battery being shown in the pictures. The reason I mention it is that Expansys sells the charger separately for the same price ($29), or they did when I checked a few weeks ago.
Either way, I have one of these and I love it.

Better deal through Amazon
I just bought and received the exact same charger and battery from Amazon for $29.00. When I ordered it I didn't know a battery came with it, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it did. Yes it is original OEM and came in a sealed box from Samsung.
$29.00 and free shipping. ..Great deal. Here is the url link below.

Did you get it from Amazon or from a third-party seller? Amazon is sold out right now.
Here is the link.
Hey everyone, I recently got these off Amazon.ca for $9.99 CAD (plus $5.54 shipping). At first I thought it was probably an error since these go for $29.99 USD on Amazon.com. But I can confirm that this is not an error.
EDIT: It was shipped from California, USA, and it arrived in 7 business days in BC, Canada.
Here are some things I would like to clarify for you:
-The package came with 2 batteries that are labeled 3000 mAh (On Amazon.ca it is advertised as 2800 mAh)
-NFC works with these batteries
-Both batteries are the same colour (Dark blue)
-Seems to be of decent quality (My opinion)
-Charger is included as advertised
Firstly, I want to clarify the NFC issue that people have. The NFC antenna in the LG G3 is on the back cover, and therefore NFC will work with any battery. Caseology advertises these batteries as "Non-NFC" because other phone batteries has their antenna in the battery. This is not the case with LG G3, so ignore that all together and take my word for it. NFC works with these batteries.
As to whether or not these batteries actually hold 3000 mAh, I have no method in testing that. I haven't used them all that much recently, but the usage of a battery is highly dependent on the user. So for those of you in doubt, you should probably just try them yourself, it doesn't get cheaper than this.
One problem I have had with these batteries is that it is slightly thicker than my OEM battery (+0.5 mm?). It is noticeable enough.
The back cover is not as easy to put back on with these batteries, but it is still possible to put them on without damage. I have the D855, so maybe the QI back panel has something to do with it?
Let me know if you guys have any questions, hope this helped!
Please change the subject to include the total price
Thanks just ordered. Total came to $18.48 USD shipped.
@lexluthor good point, I'll say it's canadian + shipping. Since shipping isn't a flat rate.
@BrunoSlivar I edited the thread with the answer to your question. Try to post it in the thread instead of PM, it'll benefit everyone by doing so.
So my phone is a year and a half old and the battery has noticeably slowed down. I'm looking for a place that sells actual LG batteries, and I'm a bit hesitant to replace it because from my previous experience owning phones with replaceable batteries, most batteries that are being sold are refurbished/fake. So question: has anybody replaced their battery and has had it for a few months now and is sure they got the actual LG part? Where did you buy it from?

What does it mean when a battery "slows down"? Doesn't hold a charge long enough? Blows through a full charge quicker? The only places I can think of to get an actual branded replacement are Amazon and LG.com The latter sells batteries for the V20 and V10, not sure about the V30.
Just regular battery wear, doesn't last as long as it used to. LG.com doesn't seem to sell v30 battery and Amazon has a bunch of different sellers with no guarantee that the battery is genuine.
