1650 mAh vs. 1500 mAh

The new galaxy 4G is brong released with a 1650 mAh battery and we currently have a 1500 mAh. How much of a difference is that?

No, but that is very interesting. Just standard procedure... When vibrant first came out people cried about bad battery life.

10%. Lol. I think bigger and bigger batteries will be gracing phones this year, with the not-much-bigger-than-the-vibrant motorola atrix 4g sporting a much more sizeable 1950mAH battery.

It doesn't seem that much bigger, i wonder how much it adds to the width. Also could be for the added '4g' or it could be just because they could, but I dont think battery life has been bad on the vibrant.

The 4G radio probably will use a bit more power to function, so... yeah

More importantly, will the 4G battery fit in our Vibrants?

Um... 150 mAh. Doesn't your smart phone have a calculator app on it?

The new 1650mah will fit PERFECTLY in our vibrants. It is IDENTICAL in size.
It is the Giorgio Armani battery that was released on the Giorgio Armani Galaxy S version in Italy this month. Hope they are cheap cause im getting 1 or 2 when they come out.
Also to anyone that asks: 10% increases over stock
Note though that if you have had your phone for 6 months like me now, your old battery is likely decreased from the 1500mah it was when new so the new 1650 mah may seem like more than 10% for some.

Using a i9000 3000 mAh battery that I purchased on ebay (yes shipped from china) for $7.99. Love it. Yes its bigger but I like the back it came with better than stock. Lasts forever on bionix v. Like 48-60 hours with heavy use.

Hmm if I would buy a battery I would settle to 3000 mah instead of this, though this won't make our phones big.

Any idea on how much these 1650mah batteries would cost?

Lol 48-60 on moderate use u mean.
Heavy use is like watching videos and browsing ng webs constantly with half to full brightness on.

Why would anyone go less than full brightness on the amazing SAMOLED screen?! Quite crazy if you ask me! I bought it to look at the beautiful screen, not worry about battery life and I get through the whole day with light-moderate use on Nero 5.

150mAh. look @ what public schools are doing to us. I will walk you through it:
1650
-1500
-------
0150

Whenever you see difference, you should subtract, and when you see sum, you should add!
j/k, couldn't resist

Who has it and what do they experience as far as uptime? I plan on starting to keep my 3g connection alive always while at work (BAD SIGNAL), brightness turned up more , 4G more often , And best of all ramp up my CPU to 1300 - 1400 depending on how i feel ... Its time for me to unleash the epic for what its true beaty is

Cool story, bro.

Looks like the one I got off e-bay for $21 that came with an extra data cable. I use my phone differently everyday but certainly seems to get double stock battery life. It works well. This is the one I got:

OH, make sure to run it all the way down before charging it. It seems to make a difference.

Open the case and it's two 1200mAh batt stuck together. I complained and they refunded my money, I then bought it from 3 other vendors and did the same thing. 4 extended batteries for free.

I thought this didn't matter with Li-Ion batteries.

Seems to work better and calibrates the phone if you do this the first time. Don't matter after.

Its due to the fact that android's battery meter is more of a demand meter, so if you don't run it all the way down the first couple times it won't read remaining battery life correctly and try to make you charge when you're at h alf battery.
See threads about calibrating battery.

Hrm. I've had a 3500mah + extended back cover for several weeks now as purchased off eBay. This was before I knew about the wonders of Juice Defender and custom roms that helped increase battery life. This was when I was getting a few mere hours out of the stock battery before needing to charge.
Anyhow, the 3500 did increase life. I'd say it doubled it. After I found out about JuiceDefender, I only stayed with the 3500 for about two days before I reverted back to the stock battery. With JD, I can easily get all day out of the stock battery. It's amazing.
I just took the cover off the 3500 to see if I have two 1200's or two 1500's sandwiched together. I took the end cap off and indeed there are two cells laying on each other, but don't want to disassemble any further. Battery is a nice spare to have.

New EVO batterys ?

Is Sprint sending out better batterys in replacements EVO
Cause I'm getting like 14 - 16
Hours stock unrooted
I got may 8-10 with my old phone

Check the battery and see if its a 1500MaH...I think I may have heard they were, but I could be mistaken. Also your type of usage varies the battery life.

They have the same batteries which are 1500mah.
things that could be getting you better battery are
-Updates like 2.2 and 2.3 which improve performance and battery life.
-New battery, yes batteries get worn after a number of charging cycles.
-bad battery with your old phone.
-your old battery wasn't properly calibrated.
I'm rocking the sprint 2600mah battery they sell at the store, end up at 40% by the end of the day.(got it free) unplug at 5:30 am and plugs back in at 10pm every day.
That is with 10-15 phone calls, maybe 30mins-1hr browsing the web, 15-20 text messages and two hours of pandora along with 30mins of gaming( slice it and pew pew). With the stock battery I always ended up needing juice by 12pm. (On 3g, MAX brightness and 2 email accounts checking every 30minutes I think)

What's the bigger battery that you can have with a stock back cover?

They do make batteries claimed to be 1900 mAh that fit in the Evo. In fact they're exactly the same size. Since a battery's capacity is linked pretty directly to its size, the general consensus is that the battery's ratings are being inflated. But having said that, a new battery will perform better than an old one (making it hard to compare if you're replacing an older OEM one), and they may even be somewhat better than a comparable stock battery. It just isn't likely to give you the expected percentage difference between a 1500 and a 1900 mAh battery.

I got them from here. It was a little bit thicker than the 1500mah but the back still snaps on fine. Noticed a bit more life but nothing to blow ya over.

Samsung GSII battery

So I heard someone on here say that the epic touch 4g has the same size battery as the epic 4g, but has more juice (like 1800 mAh). Can. Anyone confirm this, I wouldn't think they would take the same size battery, but would be cool if it did. Especially since I'm holding on to my epic 4g for a while. Would be nice to get a bigger oem battery. Thanks.

It's all rumors, but I heard it'll be a 1650 mAh battery. Anything's possible, though.

Chances are the battery is gonna be a different shape... would be nice though to not have to buy more batteries

Battery Life 3500mah

Anyone try those 3500mah batteries off eBay? What kind of added lifetime does one get from those? Fraud issues?

I bought this one
http://gorillagadgets.com/samsung-epic-4g-extended-battery-3500mah-with-back-plate.html
and it has worked really well for me. no worries about a bad product or fraud from these guys. For $27 (I bought it for 24.99 but it didn't come with the fancy gorilla graphic on the battery)

How much extra time did this buy you, double? Thanks.

Got me about 50% more...not double.

The 3500mah batteries are all really 2400mah batteries. There is a huge thread in accessories on them that I started.

For a twenty percent boost get the battery for the epic touch. Fits the OG epic just fine without changing battery cover. Might be able to sweet talk a sprint store into giving you one free if you go and complain about battery life and they happen to have one in the back from a returned ET. Battery looks the same, is slightly heavier and has 1800 mah stamped on it.

I have it and really dont notice too much diff under regular use. Mine was like $12, so it just makes for a spare that came in handy several times.

I bought a pair of the 8$ 3500's off ebay and a 4$ wall charger. Phone will do 48 hours with light use. When I get a new game I can blow through one while charging the other.

So far, after a full charge and battery wipe, my battery life on cyanogen7 is as epic as my epic. Definitely notice a difference from the 1800mah to the stock 1500mah battery.

I've noticed a pretty nice improvement from the 8 dollar one on ebay, I wouldn't say double either, but may 60 to 70 percent. I have been tweaking things for battery life recently, so that might be another thing that helps.

I am a pretty light user, I don't play games. On midNIGHT ROM 5.3 I went 6 days between charging. Of course that is with everything you can turn off; off.
Then I decided; why did I pay this money for this phone to use it like an old samsung a05?? (ok dated myself there).
I usually get 3-4 days texting, phone calls, weather updates, emails and poking around on the market.
randomrom rocks for excellent battery life.
