I did 2 test with 2 different batterys with Nova Battery Tester
1-original 1650mAh (3yrs old)
2-Mugen extended 3200mAh (+- 2yrs old)
these are my findings
1650mAh battery

as you can see it lost a bit capacity, i was very suprising to see it only lost about 400mAh in a period of 3 years
MugenPower 3200mAh battery
here is the result of the test of the Mugen 3200mAh battery.
(bought it used a year ago, so i dont know how long it was used before i bought that).
i did my research, this battery has been tested (new) and give arround +- 2400mAh in real-time though.. Mugen claiming its 3200mAh
It lost a but capacity but not by much as you can see it lost about +- 250mAh in a period of 2 years orso, so im very pleased with the performance
btw for informative purposes the screen was at full brightness in both tests
Please post your result also inhere so we can see the differences!

Yeah thats why i bought it used for like 25$ it had 2 cases (one with a kickstand wich was broken) and still with 1 month warranty left on paper .. so i contact them (dutch shop) and told them that my case was damaged so i send them my mugenbattery-kit and got everything back as new within a few days! and i dont know if they included a new battery also.... maybe it was a new battery but im not 100% sure ... i should have marked the battery before send it in
and somehow my CPU performance is performing better with the mugen battery according to the test
ill post my results tomorrow hopefully, doing first test now, but the second battery, supposed to be a extended life one, needs charging..
The app crashes at the end of the test, was looking forward seeing the results, oh well

Cool, dont forget to choose the long test (within settings) from 100% to 5%, to get the best accurate results
The app crashes before I can see results..every time, and there's no other I can see to use
Yes i know it crashes at the end of the test but dont worry about the crash, it happend tot me too twice in both tests but it does save your result at the end just before the crash, just go tot settings and check "my result"

No you dont need tot be at the phone al the time, But you can use the medium test if you like.
The long test just gives a more accurate test

I have ordered a new genuine battery since my old one is dying after 2 years of usage and flashing. I will do the test with the old and the new one to see the difference. So I just set the screen to full brightness and always on, switch on wifi, gps, bluetooth and leave the phone from 100% battery to 0% right?

Cool!
No! turning on flightmode will do the trick (everything should be off otherwise you can recive calls and messages in the middel of the test)...then open Nova Battery tester app it will automaticly turn on the screen on its brightest level, before you click on "start benchmark" go to the setting and switch to "long" test (for best accurate result-from 100% to 5% if im not mistaken). then start benchmark, :good:
dont touch phone and leave it until its done

Hello all;
I purchased Mugen battery 1800mAh, received it a week ago. After doing the initial charge-discharge for three cycles. Today is the third day I am runing the phone without charging, moderate use, bluetooth, music, messaging, downloading stuff and regular calling, I have 41% life left. I have BatteryTime, Advanced Task killer and Startup auditor.
I would highly recommend for you all who have problems to purchase this battery it is a great performer.
I am in no way affiliated with Mugen, just a satisfied customer
I´ve the same battery and i can confirm that it´s definitely a huge improvement. Almost 3 days in a row without charging.

I got mine off da bay, I think they ship international
If the sony updates dont improve battery life then i might purchase one.
I bought one also, and I'm very happy with it, because the original one last only 7h for me.
ey guys, could you say a comparison of times between the original one and this huge?
P.D: Could you tell me the ebay seller, i cant find it anywhere
Just google for the battery. You´ll find the online store.

What is the mAh rating of the standard battery and how does the physical size and weight compare to the standard one?
I believe standard 1500 ma and Mugen 1800 ma.
I read a test that slated the allegedley higher power batteries as ina test they actually perfomed worse electrically than standard. Can't remember where though - Google is your friend (as long as you don't have an Android phone and want to use bluetooth voice dialling!)
just put my order in today..10-15 days till it arrives. hope its worth the 33$

Hi, I have this battery, too. I followed all the instructions that came with the battery (4-5 full cycles, 12 hour each charge, NEVER leave to 0% charge) but the life of the battery is worst than the stock Sony Ericsson one...

That´s what I thought for myself. The manufacturer provide the best battery solution as possible with their devices. So it´s not worth to buy an other battery.
This is a comparison between the stock battery and the Mugen battery. The Mugen battery is floating a bit more so I added 2 different graphs.

Not to disappoint anyone here, but these Mugen guys are sort of known to overrate battery capacity a bit. Just do a google search and lots of alarming things will pop. I would generlly recommend against using anything but OEM batteries

this time start use from93%
How much did you actually use your S2?
My guess is very little, look at the power use ratio of screen vs. cell standby, they are almost the same. Right my phone is 57% display vs. 3% cell standby.
This looks like barely open SGS2, no wifi , barely touched...
You have never touch your phone.....have you..?? Hey....enjoy your phone and have a normal life..........

Exactly, posts like this are tragic in my book, oh look how many hours i get, anyone can get that if you don't or barely use your phone.
Wow what a pointless first post.. Congratulations on not using phone..
Anyone could get battery life of xxx hours if they never use there phone, it's the screen on time that everyone cares about since generally people with such amazing devices rooted and pimped can't put there phone down...
I get 4:30 hours with CheckROM 4.0 and DK kernel, all values to stock... and that's with playing games! My battery is the stock one.
I guess with minimum brightness, underclock and undervolt and no games i can get 5+ hours but I wouldn't count that as normal usage either.
i charge mine everyday and always excited and looking forward to charging.

Fantastic....
If you wanted to buy a phone you aren't going to use and then brag about not using at all for 100 hours maybe next time you could review this?
Would make you look a fair bit less ridiculous, you would have got the same use out of it and would have saved you over £300...
The only great thing about having such a great battery life and not using your phone is if you end up losing it, which is unlikely if its lying there on the side all the time.. At least you know its bound to stay awake for a few days so you can send over Plan B and locate it. Funnily enough I went on a cruise this year, start of November and after 5 days of no use (being in the middle of the Ocean n all, i went to grab my phone from inside the suitcase to find it was still turned on, (i swore i turned it off) and the battery dropped no more than 40 percent. Was amazed to find it last so long, especially as i've not got the patience to leave it dormant for so long.
keep your galaxy off and the battery usage could be increased to a year lol
bought one of the best phone in the market and not using it all features? rofl
dont have what to say
This post is similar to "Hey look at my mileage of the car that is parked in the garage".
Kinda pointless imo.
Lot of comment you got there LOL
Mine are using about ½% per hour in standby (little sync, good 3G connection, no Wifi), so it might last for about 200 hours (8 days) ... if I ever should go into some kind of long lasting coma where I couldn't use my phone
Once we get charged up (and back down), let's see how the battery life in the S4 compares to the quad core.
Please make sure to include your screen on time, as that is the best indicator of light/heavy use.
pleasantly surprised
I can't believe how good the battery has been so far, 84% after 13hours (over night)
I am a light user. still - that is impressive for stock. I never got close to that with my OG Epic on stock which was usually 3% per hour.

Not too bad for first day with moderate to heavy use!
This is heavy usage. Screen on time of 3.5 hours. Downloading Max Payne and a lot of apps. Downloading and listening to audio on Google chrome. Lots of Pulse usage. Games, YouTube, and 30 minutes of phone calls.
*edit* Bluetooth and wifi on all day long.

one thing im NOT noticing here is Allshare Service taking up a high percentage in your guys battery stats...
on mine its been at 7-9% and i dont know why, i have something waking up my phone when the screen is off and it might be that... ive forced stop, but i check later and its active again, ive disabled the service and the Allshare play in the application manager but still comes back on... hmmm i think im gonna have to root and just get rid of that file, or freeze it or something
Question... Does having all the motion settings on effect the battery? Also does having the NFC and sbeam on hurt the battery?

I wish I could get some stats like that. The screenshots are while I was sleeping and 7% seems like a lot of drain for it just sitting there. Only thing on was wifi. Cell standby time on is always the same as the time on battery, is that normal?
edit: the phone now shows 79% battery left with time on battery of 12h 46m; cell standby the exact same; screen on at 9% with time on of 48m. I'm fully stock and running power save mode.
Here are my stats. I think the battery life isn't too bad so far but we will see.
are the battery stats suppose to reset when you restart the phone? For dinner reason my persist even after a reboot

No, they will carry over until you re-charge or change the battery.
I was going to make a thread like this, but it was already here! Here are my results after my second full charge and regular usage. The results are on par with my fully modified and decked out Epic. Of course, this device has a bigger battery, but it also has a larger screen. Between the hardware and software upgrades, I'm very impressed with the stock battery life. This includes wifi on at all times as well as signal w/data. Some motion features are enabled, nfc is not, and google sync is off (I use stock email). Now how much further can this be improved?? Remember not to be discouraged, Screen On times will vary depending on what the phone is used for. Showing pictures is much less battery intensive than watching YouTube videos.

So I bought the phone used for 350 USD. The guy claimed he only used it for two weeks.
Although the phone is great quality, but I think the battery is broken.
Its like drops a percent after other minute use. Anyone please confirm it it's not normal.
Do you know how can I log the battery usage?
Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100
From 100% to 70% for 4 hours, just chatting in Internet. Look log in "battery usage " where you can turn on/off "stamina". From 100 to 90 I drown fast. The most long battery life % when it is 60-40%
My phone drops a percent after 5 minutes from 100% and sometimes it takes less time .. but battery life is good

The problem is here when you buy the phone?Try to calibrate battery(there are a lot of methods). The older user probably used wrong his battery. Calibrate and try for another week ...and see the results Do you make a factory reset when you buy it? If you don't ...try it... sometimes factory reset fix batteries calibration problems Sometimes my battery drops like yours but depends what i do.
Yes i did make him do factory reset before I got it. But damn i rush i hadn't, i could have seen total run time.
I read on another thread where it said Facebook app drains battery a lot.
I haven't charged it to 100 percent yet. Will see how long it by doing it.
Uninstalling the Facebook app did make a difference.

Try a hard reset and then flash 4.4.4 again
You should confirm that if the phone is using stock firmware. or you should just flash the stock one by yourself. since you said USED phone.
also if it is battery issue. you should able to get a new one from ebay. and I think there is a video on youtube about open the back panel and change the battery.

Update
Just wanted to post an update.
The About information of my Sony device, non rooted and did complete up to date.
Right now I have it fully charged to 100 percent and have read a few calibration "How-to". I removed it from charged and rebooted the phone. I have install GSM Battery Manager as well.
I still don't know how I can delete battery stats and I think i can't considering the phone isn't rooted. I have stamina mode enabled + low GPU/CPU undervolting option in it.
Lets see how long it last.
I've been waiting for my battery to die. This is my normal use. I just do what I normally do.
Streamed music to my car while driving for a while
browsed reddit/xda and other forums a lot... mainly on WiFi.
Had data/wifi disabled when I didn't need it on... really no point. Takes 3 second to enable it again
~50 texts with a few MMS sent. I'm not a popular person
checked voice mail once.
2-3 bars where I live.

Btw That was an old screenshot I just had in my gallery from not long after I got the phone.
Ive gotten 34 hours out of it so far im really impressed
I have the moto Maxx, Mexican firmware. I´m from Argentina.
Could you tell me guys the version and the baseband of yours?
Because it seems that the latin america version the battery is barely poor.
Thanks!
Damn... Going beast mode with this battery. Would've gone longer, but gotta use it more tomorrow when I'm out. Ya, I know I only have 4hrs of SOT. Haven't been using much
I assume anyone getting more than 48 hours of battery life is turning off data, or at least disabling updates/background data. Just out of curiosity, do you always keep that turned off, or do you just do that when you're seeing how much you can squeeze out of the battery? In my mind, the big reason to get a device with a big battery is so you don't have to baby the battery like that.

I disable data and auto sync. I've done this for every phone I've ever owned. Not to preserve battery life, but I have no need to have it on 24/7. I turn it on when I need it.
