'Bigger' (more powerful) battery?

hi, i was wondering if anyone is using, or has used an 'extended' 2400 mah battery-the normal battery is 1350 mah?
2400 mah mah batteries are common on ebay etc. so i was thinking of getting one but i have a few questions if anyone has used one...
-do they work?
-quality?
-battery life?
-any other problems?
thanks

I bought one quite soon after buying my TyTn.
To answer your questions (based on my experience):
- it worked out of the box, first time. Full charge from the mains.
- the quality was superb. As its a thicker battery, you get a new back piece.
- heres the rub: battery life was no better than with my normal battery. I discharged and re-charged about 4 times, but to no avail. I was bitterly disappointed with it, and now it just sits in my bag as a spare battery. I've not used it since.
- no other issues.
Hope this helps

crap then!

i have a 2600 battery that i got from daydeal.

if you use directpush or stream audio or otherwise extensively use the dataconnection you will not get much better life out of the battery.
if you set your mail sync to 10 minutes or more and longer during off peak times then it will give a lot of battery life.
I was able to get 40+ hours out of my phone with a 2 hour charge in the middle.
mine increased the life of my phone but a large margin.
I could use it all day as an mp3 player and occasionally get mail.
The dataconnect sucks down the battery at an enourmous rate.

I got the Seidio 3200 mAh pack for mine and it has worked great. The only problem I have is the added thickness, but you can't add that much and put it in the same space. I leave the push mail on all day and I can go 2.5 days between charges. In fact I have yet to go below 50% batt. life.
my 2 cents worth

I bought this and it is GREAT and even BETTER PRICE. Seido was good but pricey when I was shopping.

I bought a 2800 a couple of months ago. It works great I never seen my battery drop below 50%. Also it came with a extra charger and a car charger.

What about a good replacement battery that doesnt require a larger back plate?

I just ordered the 1500 mAh pack from Seidio last night( can't get used to the 3200 mAh hump pack)and I will let you know which one works better. Depending on which one I like better, I'm going to sell the other on on the Bay .

I had an extended cheap battery from eBay. It worked for about 3 weeks then stopped working for some reason. Time to order an expensive but high quality piece.

I read a review on the 1500 the reviewer said you won't see any difference.
Let us know how it works out for you.

My new 1500 works fantastic, now I can get through ~36 hours before it dies on average. My original battery was barely lasting 12 hours. but it was 9 months old.

With the inherent issues with Lithium Ion battery you really dont want to be putting any old PoS battery in there. Unless you have a spare Hermes for when your's melts or goes pop due to a bad/faulty/cheap battery.
I assume HTC sell official batteries?

Having Battery Problems???

The stock battery is 700mah, so if any of you are having battery problems I reccomend getting the 1400mah battery. It is the exact same size as the regular battery so it wil not make your device any bigger.
This is where I bought it (this EXACT item from this EXACT ebay seller)

uhh, my stock battery is 1500mah

I think I'm running Siedio's 1650 slim battery - gives me just enough juice to get through the day with slightly above average useage.

that means you didnt get a brand new one, but a refurb or used. they ship from the factory with 700mah's. someone probably owned it before you did, upgraded the battery and then resold it to you, telling you it was new. you cant have one with a 1400 or 1500mah battery unless its been preowned and manually upgraded.

My stock battery is also 1500mah.
My brother-in-law's is also 1500mah.
My boss's is also 1500mah.
Hmm, I'm seeing a pattern here. Verizon is selling refurbs as new!

Look under accessories:
Standard Li–Ion Battery (1500 mAh)

my battery is 7000 mha i placed two 3500mha batteries together by sodering wires to the second battery and also the first one and then pluging them into the phone. I phone now lasts two days on a charge. it does take 24 hours to charge them....

Mine is 1500mah "stock verizon bought new"

I bought mine new from verizon 1500 mAh, i think u got ripped off too....

Mine was a 1500 new from Verizon also. You might want to contact whoever sold you the phone and see about getting the stock 1500 battery.

Sounds like you may have this backwords

I also got a 1500 on my Verizon. I have upgraded to the 2100. I can make it a day an half with a few emails checking ever hour and frequent web surfing.

Just took a look at my mogul, it's 1500 mAh Model BTR6800.

My stock battery is 1500mAh as well.. just checked. I have a 3500mAh battery on order from Seidio.. hopefully it'll be here soon. I'm an extremely heavy user so my stock battery takes a pounding.

I have both an OEM 1500 and a non-OEM 2400 extended battery.

Has anyone seen this ...

Im looking for an X1 replacement batter with the charger. I have this same exact thing for my HTC Touch Cruise and believe me it is a godsend. Instead of sitting there for my phone to charge, I have one in the dock charging all the time. So when I run low to dead just swap and in seconds I have new juice.
Link to the htc touch cruise one that i have
http://cgi.ebay.com/1350mAh-Battery...14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

unless your a really power user you probably won't need to charge the battery that often given hercules is powering the x1 i think with heavy use you'd be good charging it probably once every 10-12 hours

What about with WiFi use?
I know on my Wizard the battery goes in about 2 hours with WiFi active even if its just idling with Messenger. Have they actually improved that much over the years? I'm hopeful but also skeptical.

WMVWifiRouter will kill your battery in an hour and a half.
I'd be curious to know if there are any reliable aftermarket batteries. Buying any Sony OEM parts are always ridiculously expensive and many aftermarket batteries don't work well with Sony products.

well based on what i've been reading about the X1 it's supposed to have a nice increase in battery life compared to our current HTC phones. supposedly sony made a special project just for the phone codename Hercules it's supposed to be using a 1800 mah li poly in stead of what we use in our current phones which is li ion supposedly using the li poly is going to give the battery a much needed boost that all ppc's need to go all day or maybe a couple of days given the usage
Li-poly batteries is over 20% higher than that of a classical Li-ion battery and they store more energy than nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries of the same volume.
When compared to the lithium-ion battery, Li-poly has a greater life cycle degradation rate. However, in recent years, manufacturers have been declaring upwards of 500 charge-discharge cycles before the capacity drops to 80% (see Sanyo). Another variant of Li-poly cells, the "thin film rechargeable lithium battery", has been shown to provide more than 10,000 cycles.

stole that from the wiki page

SGSII 1800mah battery, SGSI compatible for $20

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28506
Confirmed by multiple sources to fit in Samsung Galaxy S I variants such as the Vibrant, Fascinate, etc. Since it's a Samsung made (read: Not Chinese hackery) battery, the 1800mah is all but guaranteed.
Have since received the batteries in the mail. They fit perfectly in both my Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Fascinate. Initial battery life tests seem to confirm the 1800mah listed on the side.

I see no point in that as you can now get a 2000mah battery from Samsung. It makes your phone a bit fatter and comes with a different cover but it adds some decent juice.
http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-re...galaxy-s-ii-gives-you-all-the-juice-you-need/
I might get one later.

So does this one is still the same size as the normal one?
I'd like one for my sgs2

Wow, where to start. First, that 200mah requires a fatter phone. The whole selling point of the 1800mah battery is that it doesn't require a new battery cover, and thus does not require a new case. For the many of us with Otterbox cases and the like, this is very good news. I highly doubt I'd give up my Otterbox for a mere 200 mah. If I were going for an extended battery that required a new battery cover, I wouldn't aim so low as 2000mah, but would opt for the Momax 2700mah battery with the kickstand battery cover, or the crazier 3600mah upgrades on the market.
Secondly, this battery is SGS1 compatibility. The Vibrant, Mezmerize, Fascinate, Epic, Galaxy S 4g, i9000, etc all have 1500 mah batteries. To get a legitimate 1800mah battery that doesn't require an extended battery door is a real boon.

Does anyone know if Samsung do any extended/ higher mah battery for the nexus s?

Received the batteries in the mail today. They fit perfectly into both my Vibrant and Fascinate, and initial testing corroborates the mah rating of 1800.

Can now confirm that the battery is not only legitimate, but holds up to the 1800 mah claims. Quite the steal for $20!

Would this work on a Samsung Focus?

If the Focus is a Galaxy S variant, then yes. Otherwise, no.

How much more does the battery last?

So far, for me, it's lasted about as long as it's rated, meaning about 20% longer than stock.

yo the sprint galaxy s2 epich 4g touch ... ugh so long to say that... umm , it comes with a the 1800 already

I will trade someone two of the stock Galaxy S 1 batteries for one of those.

5800 mAh (or more) extended battery; Does it only show 50% charge?

So, i've been looking at some extended capacity batteries like this one http://mobyl.ro/baterie-extinsa-samsung-galaxy-s4-i9500-capac-spate-5800-mah-albastru
But surfing the net, i read in a review that the phone actually only uses 2600 MaH of the 5800 and then it reaches ZERO. Restarting the phone would instantly show the remaining 50% of the extended battery. It seems....dubious. Is it any truth to this claim?
Thanks

If there is then it's because of that particular battery model and not because of the phone.
I don't see a logical reason why the phone would have a 2600 mAh limit.

Thank you. Fair answer.

Does batteries are crap and the battery cover starts coming off after a while. I had one before and it was a waste of money.
Good luck with your product.
