There is a new double capacity 2200mAH battery in Expansys website:
http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=183044
Wonder how is the thickness increased by this new battery? Is there any impact to the GPS radio as seen in some extended battery in original Diamond?
I'm sure that the thickness increased!
Otherwise not be sold with cover. It is like the diamond 1.
This one is much more modest (1350 mAh), but seems to fit within the original back cover:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIAMOND2-LONG-LIFE-BA-S360-COMPATIBLE/dp/B002AANPYG
It seems that extended batteries are appearing on the net already, nice, I would like to have something a little bit more beefy than the original one (2200 mAh may be overkill), to be able to use my TD2 on the move while not worrying about saving battery (GPS and wifi while away from plugs for 1 day for example). A battery slightly larger than the orginal, plus the original as a backup, should cover all my uses cases...
The website mentioned the extended battery only price at GBP8.90. Wish buyer may get the goods.

That would be nice, thanks.
yeap. please let us know. i am really interested in this. is it really the same size as the original battery? that would be great.

Interrested about your test too: how does it fit, how long for charging it (compared to standard one), and of course the most important thing: does it offer increased battery life

I bought the same one, but the size is much smaller and a bit wider than the original, as I explain in my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3943769#post3943769
I told the guy, and he told me there must be some mistake, and he' ll send it again. How does yours look like size-wise? Is it working properly?
any news on the 1350 battery?
The issue is solved, as I explain in my relevant post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525090&page=2
The battery I was given was wrong. The guy sent me the correct one now, and everything seems fine.

What are the chances that the 1500mAh battery that comes with the MAX 4G would fit into our Touch HDs? The MAX is slightly thicker than the HD which may explain the bigger battery though..
Yeah that would be nice... I wonder if the battery connects are in the same place. If so the battery may work but probably bend or bulge our battery cover.
Another problem is where do you buy the max 4g battery from?

No chances, different dimensions. I see them.
That sucks. I was wondering the same thing.
heyhey,
I am from Hong Kong, and I got my HD yesterday.
I also bought a replacement battery incase my HD runs out of battery~
I think it is a Japanese brand, and the battery comes with 1500mAh!!
google it and u might find it!
~cheers
Got myself a 1500mah battry from ebay.
It fits and works.
was hoping for an even bigger battry, cause the difference between 1320 and 1500 isn't that much.

May I know the brand and how much is it?
Thanks!
i bet its momax. its HK brand. im using it. also 1500mah. not longer than original one.
but its ok to be a replacement....so far so good
Gotta be careful with batteries of unknown sources.
Surely there are many good and cheap stuffs made in China, but more often you find cheap and bad items.
From my experiences, these low price batteries are short-lived, with wrong mAh parameters, and worst of all, may cause damage to your precious phone. I'd better buy an original one (or wait for it to appear...)
I'm also using a second 1500 mAh battery from eBay without issue. Does last longer than the original 1300 unit as I can compare because I swap between the two on extended trips away from the office.
Does anyone know what type of extended batteries to expect from third parties for the galaxy s ii? I remember there were some rather hefty and bland looking ones at the early stages of the galaxy s release. Did they get better/better looking and how soon do you expect the first ones will be available for the s ii?
I personally don't like extended batteries and I would only use it if it was something that made the whole phone bigger(but not much bigger) because having it all slim, then suddenly bulge out where the battery is, just doesn't work.
Well, it already has a hump on the bottom, like the galaxy s, so making the hump the new thickness and evening it out throughout the back wouldn't make it too much thicker. Some people don't care about thickness anyway and it could be a good powerphone with a big 2400 mah+ battery.
I use 2000mah original Samsung battery and it takes my phone looks more beautiful in my point of view. The thickness of back cover will increase to be the same level as bottom hump(where there is a speaker hole)
But there are many 3rd parties battery with much larger capacity (3500 mah I think?) and with the new back cover. You should look in eBay.

lol i wondered the very same thing
I'm keeping an eye out for the availability of some power jacket extended battery packs.
Below are a couple of examples of solutions that are available for the standard Xperia Z.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bearcXdXdAc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6rE0Z0yczws
The first one is a generic Chinease one that is about availiable on ebay for about $25
The second one is the official mugen one that has recently come out.
Personally I think I prefer the cheep Chinese one. Anyway its all academic at the moment because there are no solutions out yet for the Ultra. Its pretty new out mind so I suspect that when the LTE models launch globally we will see such solutions. :good:
Would you consider using such a solution for your Ultra?
These stuffs does give the phone some extra weight, some may like it for easier handling due to it having more weight but kinds of defeats the purpose of the ZU design.
I'm currently using a 15000mAh powerbank with 2.1A and 1A output options.

You're talking to a man who has a 9000mAH Zerolemon battery on his Note 2
Each to his own of course but my personal preference is to have a powerjacket attached to the device rather than carry around a separate power bank.

Haha no worries, I owned one of the powerjackets for my Note 2 or was it S3, I'm fine with it but just speaking out generally since many users are going for thinner and thinner designs
I generally don't mind added thickness and weight, phones these days are going so thin and light, it makes me feel insecure holding them lol.

I was kind of excited when you posted this thread but when I saw the battery capacity and I went "mehhhh"
Cos anything equal to or less than the phone's own capacity.. is a little on the low side. Most of the time we will use the phone and use the power jack at the same time, which means even if it's equal to the phone's 3000mAh it would probably be able to charge it from 1% to say 50% only. Still useful in emergency times (beggars can't be choosers) but like you said, maybe 4000-5000mAh may be a better option considering these cheap China makes usually overstate their capacity and the battery degrades rather fast too.

Well they certainly have more surface area to play with on the Ultra, so lets hope the capacities supplied will be bigger. That's kind of too logical to be a reality though lol
How about this one?

I have 2 questions as followed:
1. Anyone here knows a slim extended battery that is better than original manufacturer Samsung battery ? By this, I meant better in real life, not on paper. I know a lot of batteries claiming 4800 mah but their performances are horrible.
2. Anyone can compare Hyperion vs zerolemon vs MPJ extended battery in terms of thickness.
Thanks so much.

1. Without a huge advance in battery tech since the time the N3 battery was designed, it's not possible. I am not aware of any such advance available to consumers, so any claims to have more capacity but be the same size are likely BS.
2. Most extended batteries will be about the same thickness, they are usually a second cell stacked on top of the main one. The ZeroLemon is the same, but instead of 2, they have 3, the top 2 are offset on top of the first one that goes inside the phone. So the thickness is about the same for all of them. The ZeroLemon will be heavier though. Partly due to the extra cell, partly the nicer case it comes with.

I don't think ZeroLemon has the single cell batteries available yet for the Note 3. When they do make one I might get it because the charger they give you has a USB port on it you can charge your phone with from the battery that's installed in it at the time which is a nice feature to have.

Hei guys, not to advertise, but I found this battery, is only 7 dollars .. the shipping is free. For all those who want to try it http://www.eforchina.com/view/16274...usiness-Battery-for-Sony-Xperia-U---ST25i.htm
Same size, Larger capacity. Not possible.
Made in china with a bundle of comments about how awesome it is. Not possible.
So sorry, but 90% chance that's its fake.
How ever if you do buy it and notice some change, then feel free to mention. In interested.

I'm hesitant too. Personally I do not want to try, as regards the size it is natural that must be the same, does not mean anything. The site is reliable (I have already bought there), however I think that really has the potential

sorry I do not understand much, but a larger battery will not automatically compatible with the 'XU, by force must have the same dimensions. There are really isometric batteries with more mAh capacity (known brands = higher costs)

By cutting corners like margins for thermal & gas expansion you can squeeze a little more capacity (a 1,8 Ah battery instead of a 1,5 is realistic, although often it's just a fake)...
But as you said an hypothetical better technology will likely be more expensive (and regardless of price you'd only be able to see it in batteries for Samsung S2, S3, S4 and very little other phones )
This all in theory as no brand batteries are often an outlet for dumping subpar cells (which will probably end up being compared to a high quality but worn out battery so they can indeed be better in the short term), anyone can design a plain label and/or change the firmware to make it report a different capacity...

Hi,
what do you think about this :
aliexpress. com/item/Free-Drop-Shipping-New-2450mAh-High-Capacity-BA600-Gold-Golden-Business-Li-ion-Battery-for-Sony/1678547036.html
I see many battery "gold" witch have more capacity...
is this safe?
I have buyed this battery 6 month ago for 4 € and... it's fake. But it's safe and a good second battery.
