i'm looking to get a extended battery that is better that the standard g1 battery but i don't wanna convert my G1 in a gigantic brick...i dont mind a few more milimeters of tickness on the g1 but not too much...for the people that are using extended battery which will you recomend?
It's like saying I need to get a shot, but not with a needle. It will add thickness, if you don't like it get one of the 1700 batteries from the thread below.
I didn't mind the extra girth for a two day battery life. But right now I'm back to stock because it fell off my bed and the cover broke on the bottom.

i concur. i just got my new battery a couple days ago. a 2200 mAh. yes, it did make my g1 into a brick (in size, not functionality), but i would choose actually being able to use my phone over size anyday.
I got a Seidio 1400mAh battery. The brand is reputable, the use I get from it is noticeably more, and the size is the same as the stock battery.
My stock battery started to bulge out last month and wouldn't last even two hours on a charge. I'm not able to use my phone as much as I'd like during the day, but I can take it off the charger at 6am and still have over 30% charge at 9pm. I don't call, but I use lunch and break time to check up on facebook and newsfeeds.
I use Andida 1600mAh Battery. It works much longer than the default one while not making your phone bloated (it's the same size as original). And best of all it's pretty darn cheap! I was quite skeptical about it at first, but I got it just because how cheap it was. And it works like a charm!
oh well so i ordered this morning a 2200 mAh battery for $24...i'll be here anytime in the next two days...so should i do first charge the battery or use the battery till it die and then do the calibration?
Same with all Li batteries, drain, then charge fully.
I am using an Andida 1600mah battery as well. But I would like to ask whether there is any other battery that does not require a case covering? I just dont like to turn my phone into a brick. What is the max without requiring a bigger case? 1700mah? or 1800mah? Thanks.
ok so i just got my new extended battery to be honest is not that thick (still pits on the original pouch)and i like the new backcover...actually is a diferent one that the ones i saw on the pictures...i put it on my G1 and it has %53 left so i'm gonna kill it and recharge...awesome...

Please be aware that the recent batch of Andida 1600mah batteries are NO good. Before you go on ebay and get one, take a read on this thread.

I got 2 batteries, both do not charge. I just got a replacement from the seller, the replacement does not charge and a lot of people are experiencing the same thing.
.
I too brought the 2600mAh battery off of eBay. Cost me £12.00 which is around $20 I believe. Funny thing is, when I recieved it, it said 2850mAh on the battery. Now I don't know if it's a genuine HTC battery or not (sure as hell looks close enough) but it definately does the job. And as far as the size goes, as the previous poster said, you get used to it. Plus I find it a bit easier with the extra size when typing on the device. I would advise it to anyone. Makes your phone last a hell of a lot longer. Small, but very worthy investment.
Small question though: I don't know if I had a dodgy battery before, but this new one seems to charge in around half the time of the stock battery. Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me? I just thought I'd ask
Wow this batttery is a beast...my settings using the original battery was alway on edge,the lowest brightness setting,maybe a few text a few minutes talking listening music for like 2 hours and by the time I got home it will be under %10 this is barely using my phone now I have it on 3g using wifi whenever is possible texting browsing playing videos from youtube medium settings on brightness playing games listening to music for 2 hours and by the time I got home is at %55 and when I tried to kill the battery for a new recharge it just don't wanna die my last charge last over 24 hours...I'm so glad that I get this new battery finally I can use my phone without being attached to the charger....I'm planing to get me a bluetooth headphones...
I got a White G1, I bought a 2300 mAh Extended battery from ebay for about 23 USD, with the black battery door, but after months of abuse, the door cracked on me till a point where it just wouldnt stay on my g1 with my hand behind it ... So I ordered another one this time for only 12-13 (w/ shipping) bucks .. and it's white... Just got it today, Pictures below

What is the name of the battery?
And for the rest who bought the batteries, can you please state what it the seller's name or the battery brand? I'm thinking of trying one of those large ones Thanks!
I have the Seidio Innocell 2600 mAh battery. I like it now, but the bulge took about a week to get used to. It's great not having to worry about charging the phone halfway through the day (my stock lasted 6-8 hours tops).
The only complaint I have about the bigger battery cover is that it is easier to crack and break. I have a crack in the lower left corner of my cover, and I'm worried it will continue to grow. I've looked on eBay and Google for replacement battery covers, but I can't find any for sale without a battery.

I too can vouch for this. I have a crack in the exact same place. I also have lost the small lip like thing at the top where the back cover becomes in line with the keyboard. Only the lip part is gone though. If I find a cover available without the battery I'll be sure to post it.
I picked mine up from Gadget Garage off of ebay for around $20. I'll also vouch for the batteries themselves. It adds thickness but the change in battery life makes it worth it imho. Mine has been up 17 hours and I'm still at 50% without charging at all.

I bought one of the 1600 mAh pieces of crap and sent it back. Where did you order the Seido 1400 mAh from?
Is anyone using a case with a big battery? My current case (Body Glove) has protected my phone from everything for over a year. Don't want to lose the case for a bigger battery.

How could you possibly expect a battery with OVER THREE times the capacity of the original to not be at least three times the size of the original?!?!
Maybe if the battery had 10 - 20% extra, it might manage to squeeze in the original cover - but not 200% extra! These guys aren't magicians!
I bought a 2500mah one from ebay which also has a huge hump (which I expected!). Its not pretty to look at - but my only purpose for it is to watch films on the plane when travelling, so I'm not that fussed. I'll just switch it back when I get off the plane!
On another note - I usually charge my original battery every night, but this week I thought I'd try running it flat and see how long it lasts. Almost 4 days with a few calls / texts and about 15mins of GPRS internet a day... and one day with about 30mins of music through its speaker!
Not to shabby really!
I found a Photo with a 3000 mAh Battery:

Thats EXACTLY what I bought my 2500mah battery for!!! Movies on the plane to Canada, then GPS tracking of my snowboarding using snowranger software. As its hidden in my pocket, I don't really care what it looks like! I just hope that the 2500mah is enough to last about 8 hours of GPS and MP3.

Yep, I acknowledge it's my fault since I bought it without adequate amount of researches of the item. I know that 3000/4500 mah should lasts many times longer than the original one, but it really doesn't looks decent, that why I finally decided to return it....

I'm surprised to read that. My diamond would go through a battery in roughly 7-8 hours... .thus the reason why I kept two spares on a separate charger.
I received my HD a week ago and at the end of a 10-12 hour day, I've used 25% percent, sometimes 50%.
Just for reference, I use the phone for my business and personal use. I run roughly 5000 minutes a month so I'm on it a decent amount.
I'm THRILLED with battery life on the HD compared to the Diamond.
Mark
There's a 1500mah battery kicking about on ebay, only a shade under 10% more than than the original, but should be able to squeeze a decent amount of time extra for basic day to day usage
One thing we must all consider is our background running apps.
I've heard that S2U2 drains the battery fast... I have it installed on mine but can't really make a comparison against what it was like if I hadn't installed it.
Check your \Windows\StartUp folder. If there's something there you've installed, question if you really need it on all of the time.
Also, use button mapping tools to kick off background apps that you occasionally use.
e.g. I use MobileMagic for screen rotation on all apps and button mapping. This runs in the background at all times. I've also install TaskFacade to manage my runnig apps. By default this runs in the background and is likely to drain the battery. So, I simply removed it from the StartUp folder and used the Back button mapping in Mobile Magic to start it up when I need it. On first use it takes a few seconds to run, but thereafter it's pretty quick.
At least this way, you have more control over startup and only engage apps when their really needed.
Just my $0.02 worth...

roundup at time of posting:
1500mAh pricey but quality seller
1700mAh cheap and does the biz
1950mAh mixed results - one guy got worse performance than the 1350mAh stock under heavy load, another guy took it easy and it lasted for ages.
Jury still out on the 1950 but the 1700 seems like a good buy, tho you might have to do some rooting around to buy it if you're a yank.
Another Battery Option
Another option for more power is something like th eGear reserve battery pack. It is small, rechargeable and can be used with any future phones you might get. It has multiple adapters (mini usb, ipod, ...). I have been using mine for a couple of months and have been very happy. I could not find the one I have online but here is something similar:

I purchased 1 of these Andida (1600mah) for my G1 and battery life increase is very noticeable. Just ordered 1 for my Tmo TP2.
Looking forward to your review. I will also buy one in case its worth once I have my rhodium. Cheers..
an extra 500mah's does seem nice for a few quid, ill hold out for your review also.
post for review curious myself as I got about a day out of this thing although I did talk for 3 hours on it
I would be real leary and real careful about buying a battery that inexpensive, even if it is 2000mah. If its protection circuit is not good or even worse, non existent, that TP2 is nothing but a grenade in your pocket. I know I'm not risking a no name Chinese battery in any device I know. You just never know what you are getting for your money.

Received mine yesterday
So far so good (89% after 10 hours and I have push email)
2000mAh Andida
Received the 2000mAh. Put it to the test with Coreplayer in a loop playing Coraline fullscreen sound off. The Andida lasted 130 minutes first charge, 155 minutes second and third charge.
The stock 1500mAh HTC lasts 220 minutes. Quite a difference. But for € 7,50 including shipping you won't hear me complain. It's still a whole lot cheaper per minute than the other leading brands.
BTW, I haven't tested it yet but it seems the 2000mAh Andida provides longer stand-by times. Will test that starting today. If so, someone have a theory as to how Li-Ion batteries perform different under different circumstances? If there is a theoretical possibility that is
Packaging was quite professional I must say. Apart from that, the battery doesn't heat up, not during charging and not while it was put to the test.

A higher stand-by time but lower overall energy density is unlikely given they are both lithium ion. It's possible there are more impurities or something of the sort in the Andida battery, giving a higher internal resistance (meaning it has a high voltage drop-off when under full load). That would indicate a very poor manufacturing process and be a surprise.
This thing about these batteries having 2000mAh is total BS. I've tested for my own amusement a few of these cheap batteries under a few different testing regimes (using This). They can squeeze a few mAh by stripping down the packaging and safety stuff, but not much. All battery manufacturers are limited by simple chemistry. In this case, Lithium Polymer. If you want a high Ah battery, it will be bigger.

I have not done an official minute test but I feel exactly the same about this battery. Price, packaging is good but not even close to 2000mah of use time under data usage. Standby time is pretty good but who cares since we use the phone for data or else you wouldn't have a touchscreen $500 device. I am not saying it was a waste of money since it is a second battery...but definitely not an extended battery.

Oh I dont know why but I thought it used more battery every time it connected to the internet every 15 to 30 minutes to check for email (what ever non-push is called). Well I was mistaken. Thanks. Guess thats a whole nother topic which I dont care enough to start..
I just purchased this battery btw. From my experience I purchased a 3rd party battery from china for my g1. I had no problems with the battery I could see a difference. It lasted at least 6 months until I got rid of the g1 for the tp2.
I bought the g1 extended battery on ebay for $13. It was the exact same battery that fommy.com was selling for $40. Im sure china is where most resellers get there items from but they probably slap sticker over the original and call it theirs.
I see this as cutting out the middle man and saving myself the cost.
i would definatelly never trust a battery that cheap, especially in something that:
a) is kept in a pocket (see pic :)
b) is ususlly left to charge over night.
something that happened to someone using a chineese no-brand extended battery in an HTC Touch Pro:

I purchased and they charged my credit card 11/27, here it is 12/28 and still no batteries. There is no tracking number for these when they were sent as they didn't let me know that the way I'd paid I couldn't get a tracking number.
What I don't understand is I get a lot of things from DealExtreme and they ship from China and it's always trackable for bulkrate shipping. So, what gives with this company?

That's not a real Amaze Battery... look at the posting info, it's only 3.7V. the Amaze comes with a 3.8V battery. Just use your old Anker sensation battery. it's the same thing.
I would really like to know if its worth getting since the stock battery is anorexic... and how would 3.7 volts affect the phone. Can it break it?
The phone will be undervolted which isn't bad seeing as how many kernels offer undervoltage

I email Anker and asked them about the voltage difference...
Hello, I have a quick question about the battery for the HTC Amaze 4G.
The OEM battery from HTC is listed as 3.8 volts, but your battery is listed as 3.7. Is there a reason why your battery has a lower voltage?
Could this affect the operation of my phone?

Their response was...
Thank you for contacting us.
I just heard back from our tech team that there is no actual performance difference between 3.7v and 3.8 v and it will not affect the performance of the battery.
Please do not worry about it.
Please let us know if there is anything else we may help. Any time you need us, we are always here.
Sincerely,

I don't have a problem with that response. Since all of the components in the phone run at either 3.3v or 1.7v, that .1 of volt should have no affect on the operation of the phone.
If for some reason it does, just return it. They are reputable and have been selling for awhile.
It's not like they are selling these out of the back of a van.
Off Anker topic... But if it's a 3.8v 1730mAH battery, then it's the exact same as the Evo 3D isn't it?
Anker battery
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005M19IZU
I bought the anker battery and charger from Amazon and in all honesty the battery seems to work much better than the OEM one provided by HTC. 1800mAh and seems to provide a good backup battery. The external charger is a neat touch since one does not have to charge the batteries through the one all the time.
I just purchased two Anker batteries with a charger combo for $12.
Here's the link:
http://amzn.com/B005M19IZU
At first I thought that it sounded too good to be true but for $12 it's worth the risk.
It arrived today and at first glance I had a bit of buyers remorse because the charger didn't have any instructions and the charging pins seemed to move around too freely. It just felt cheap overall. The two batteries that it came with say that they are for the EVO 3D 4G as 3.7v and 1800mAh. Yet I let the batteries charge and I daringly put it in my phone. Voila! Powered right up and works just as well as the OEM battery. I haven't drained it yet so I have no idea on how long the battery will last. My expectations? 180 mAh 3.7v battery vs the 1730mAh 3.8v OEM battery... I'm not expecting too much difference to be honest. I'll keep you all posted with an edit in say about 48 hours.
A premature opinion if you ask for it... is it a viable solution for a primary battery? I wouldn't think so.
Is it a viable solution as a backup since we can't charge via 5.0.2.6 recovery? You're damn right!
Another note:
Not sure if it's related to the battery or not but I've had two random reboots with this battery installed. So... perhaps if someone else has experienced something similiar there just might be an issue there. Time will tell.
I bought from mugen the evo3D 1950mah I'm on my second cycle so far not impressed so far at all. The difference between the stock battery and this one is only 200 mah but it almost seems like the 3D battery drains faster

Damn!!!! I bought for 17 two weeks ago!!!!
Just got my Amaze last night. I put my Anker battery that I bought 2 weeks ago for my sensation in it. Unplugged the phone at 9:45 AM, and when I got home at around 8:00 i had something like 15-20% charge remaining. That was after using my phone through out the day to place a few phone calls, constantly checking texts and facebook, and also doing some ebay browsing looking for accessories for it. Must say, I LOVE my Anker battery.
Solid opinions?
I'm planning on buying one (1900mAh). I heard that initial it appears to lose it charge then slows down but still offering good battery life. However I'm a bit unsure.
By how much more hours will this thing pack compare to stock?
Also I hope (and it probably will) increase battery life once we see Cyanogenmod and better kernels. First we have to get through S-Off.
I got the 1950 today is my third cycle, in my previous post it was my second and I said it was terrible, after the 3rd cycle I've seen a big improvement. 12 hours and 12 mins off charger. I started at 100 percent. Right as I went into work. For 8 and 1/2 hours I had airplane mode on, being that WiFi calling doesn't work, had WiFi turned on, and listened to Pandora the whole time.

Just bought this battery for mine. It does not seem to get a full charge. Charging on device only get up to 94 % or so. Any one else have that problem?
edit: meant to reply to Binary. I've got this same battery kit: http://amzn.com/B005M19IZU
I've had this same kit for a few weeks. I have the same complaints about the charger pins but whatever, your hands will learn how to do it quickly after a couple times. Now I just rotate the batteries about every day and a half. On the first few charges I was barely getting more than the stock battery. After a few times of fully charging and fully draining I get about 25hrs of normal use. Last weekend I got 36 hours before the battery finally died.
My usage patterns:
1+ hr internet radio morning commute.
Mail, Facebook, weather, syncing all day.
Random web
random games
1+ hr internet radio evening commute.
not plugged in all night, sometimes I leave sync on, sometimes I turn it off.
1+ hr internet radio for morning commute
change battery some time between getting to work and lunch.
Worth it IMO.
So you are not charging in device though at all. Just their charger?

I bought the single 1900mAh and I can charge to 100% through the phone, it does however discharge down quickly initially. Its slows down after 80 - 90% so the overall life is still good. This is its second charge so I'm still waiting to see if I get a boost.
are you charging yours in the phone or the anker charger? Seems with indicator being off been tryib to charge in the phone myself.
What is thr best most accurate way of charging for life and indicator to be right?
Here's the results with my Anker battery.
I know that telling you guys by text would be fairly useless so here's the screenshot as proof.

In my usage I get 7 hours out of the stock battery and 5 hours from the Anker. That puts the stock at about 1259 mA.

Do you notice the difference in the 2? Like does the qcell with 300mah more make a difference?
I have one; started using it yesterday. Haven't used it enough to notice a difference, but personally I doubt there is one. If it was so easy to fit 300mah (>10%!) extra capacity into a battery, why wouldn't Samsung have done it in the first place? Surely a 2800mah battery would be a better selling point than 2500mah.
I miss that battery testing web site where the guy stress-tested all the aftermarket batteries and showed how basically all of them were massively over-rated.
I have two OEM batteries (got one as part of the awesome Samsung portable battery charger) and I figured for $15 or so the Q-cell was worth trying. One of these days I'll do a run-down test and see if there's a difference. If there is, I'll buy 10 of them and then report back here how great they are.
I *love* this product:

It doesn't charge the phone, but you can toss it in a bag, swap batteries mid-day and have enough juice to get through a long evening of speed tests and server management while out on the town.
I've never had a phone die on me mid day.
I've never had hypothermia. Doesn't mean I don't carry a jacket when it's cold out.
My point is that for me, by mid-day my Note is often in the 30-40% range, and if I want to comfortably go for 8-10 more hours it's nice to have a fresh battery so you don't have to think twice about it. It's one thing to be at 5% and getting critical battery warnings at 10pm when you're home on the sofa. It's another to be getting 5% battery warnings when you're out somewhere far from a charger and need to use the phone.

Mid day its that low? I go through my whole day and by the time I go to bed at 12 its at 40-60%.
Yes. I have 3 email accounts - 1 exchange and 2 IMAP (even though I set the intervals for IMAP to 1 and 2 hours), and I use the phone as a desktop replacement for answering emails, server management, and various other web-intensive functions. I lose 10-20% per hour while in use. Screen on auto brightness. Bluetooth is always on because I use a headset or a car link for voice calls, though I don't make a lot of voice calls. If I did my battery would be dead by noon every day. On voice calls my battery graph drops precipitously.
I am in a fringe LTE area, which I suspect doesn't help. Sometimes I get 1-2 bars of LTE, and most of the time I get 4 bars of non-LTE. Searching for signal and switching back and forth is probably not good for battery. Either that it's the time that it's on LTE that kills it. So I'm resigned to either swapping batteries mid-day or leaving the phone on a charger at various times throughout the day.
Back to the Q-cell battery, tomorrow I will use my other phone for the day and try to run a couple of video loop tests with the Q-cell battery and the OEM battery and see how long each lasts.
Thanks looking forward to the results.

Yes please do the test, that would be awesome.
Planning on it...Monday is looking good as ill have some uninterrupted time where the Note can sit on my desk playing movies. I want to run them down as quickly as possible, so I'm planning to turn wifi on, brightness full, fullscreen movie mode. I don't know if running maps in the background or maybe GPS status would help too. Open to suggestions.

Test 1 is currently running. Fully charged Qcell 2800, started at 6:45am; as of approx. 9am (2h 12m of full screen video with GPS status running in the background) battery was 65%. I have the phone in flight mode to remove network connectivity/signal strength as a variable. Full results will be in tonight.
Well this isn't even close. I'm half tempted not to bother finishing the test. On test #2, OEM battery, after 2h 12m of video the OEM battery is at 78%. 78% vs 65%....that is HUGE. The OEM is winning by a mile. But for kicks I'll finish the test and post all the results/graphs.
"2800mAh" battery is more like 1600mAh
The results are much worse than I expected. And I notice that Amazon isn't even selling these batteries anymore, so that's something to take note of. I would imagine the data below would look familiar for any aftermarket battery sold at a cheap price (and possibly some sold for a not-cheap price).
Each battery was charged to 100% to start. I used the Samsung video player on full brightness (using the video player setting, not just the Android setting since the video player setting overrides the system). I played 3 movies on the Note during the rundown tests, in the same order. Mostly the Note sat on a corner of my desk playing with volume off; occasionally I stopped it to take a measurement or screenshot.
The "2800" battery lasted 5h 32m to 1% charge. Discharge rate was fairly linear, though it did accelerate a bit starting at about 25%. After movie 1 (2h 12m) it was at 65%, after movie 2 (4h 15m cumulative) it was 30%, and did not make it through movie #3.
The OEM battery lasted 9h 35m to 1% charge. Discharge rate was also linear and remained essentially the same from 100 to 0. After movie 1 (2h 12m) it was 78%, after movie 2 (4h 15m) it was 57%, after movie 3 (6h cumulative) it was 36% (the "2800" battery died during movie 3), and after movie 3 I went back and played movie 1 again (in full) and then started movie 1 AGAIN and got another ~90 minutes into it.
The difference is ridiculous. Since the "2800" battery was only $14, price per mAh is actually better than the OEM battery which is more than twice as expensive, but this thing is more like 1600mAh than 2800mAh. This isn't surprising to me, but it is good to quantify how terrible these knockoff batteries are. If I'd paid $20 or more for it I'd be angry, but given how cheap it was I'll toss it in the drawer and know I have a cheap 5-hour battery in addition to my two OEM batteries.
Since the "2800" battery has only had a couple of charge cycles, I will try to run the test again in a few days and see if more charge/discharge cycles make a difference. My OEM batteries haven't had many more, though, since I have two and I've been swapping between them on alternate days. I don't expect to gain 1200mAh.
Notice something else. When I rebooted for the 2nd test, bluetooth turned itself back on despite the Note staying in flight mode. I didn't notice that during the test, but that means that the OEM battery was actually under more load than the "2800" battery for the 9+ hour run.

please report back !
So after using them for a few days, they actually seem pretty good.
I don't think I have the patience that Hausman (I actually want to call him 'haus) to do a more technical burn analysis (thanks 'Haus). Plus, I'm lazy. However, I've been using them instead of the Samsung OEM battery for the past few days and they seem to be transparent enough that I don't notice that a different battery is being used.
For $30 on Amazon, I'd tap that.
Why purchase a 5-7000mah battery and add the bulk to the phone? Why not purchase an oem spare battery and just swap. Every night I place my phone on the charger and my 2nd battery in the cradle. I use 12-14gb/mo. And never waste 2 batteries (5300mah) in one day. I'm not bashing the people who do buy them just looking for what their reason behind it is, also, you're limited in protection.

I used to get extended batteries with all of my phones. It's getting better nowadays though, the GS4 seems to get me through a day fine enough. However If it weren't I would definitely opt for an extended battery. The girth of some of them isn't that ridiculous to where it's a huge trouble (I mean people use otterboxes all the time and those are enormous) It's a lot more convenient that seeing it low and having to swap, then having to recharge both batteries especially if you don't have an external charger.

Exactly. I suppose you right.
Yeah, no need for ext batteries with the GS4. I'm using Clean ROM and with less then .5% battery drain sitting idle and when in use i get 5-6 hours of screen time... whats the point?
Not everyone is near power every night (or whenever). I like to kayak/hike/camp and I don't always have power available, so I carry extra juice (usually extra OEM batts) when I'm out & about. Weak signal areas will also burn up a battery pretty fast.
Yeah i hear you, but i would just do an extra battery not an extended i meant. They last so long they are like extended batteries.
Does anyone have an extended battery?
I used an extended battery on my Bionic just to get through the day, with the SG4 I can sometimes make it almost 2 (not quite). This isn't a problem for me since I charge every night. But on the long trips the extended battery was great, so does anyone have one for the SG4? and if so which ones and how long do they last (under normal usage conditions compared to stock battery)?
I'm at 13 hours with 20 percent left with roughly 4 hours of screentime. My extra battery is fully charged just sitting there ready to get popped in, honestly I can say, I never actually charge my phone just keep swapping batteries.

You don't want to have to deal with charging 2+ batteries, especially if you don't have an external charger
You don't like the idea of having to swap batteries twice a day, every day because you use your phone a lot
Don't feel like breaking the tabs on the rear panel by taking it on and off almost every day
Don't want to have to remember to grab an extra battery when you go out for the day
You use a case, and it's impractical to take the case off all the time to swap batteries
You can't turn off your phone to swap batteries because of apps you are running
Hate the battery dying at the worst possible time
Hate seeing the battery percentage drop so quickly
Find it difficult to walk around with a phone and extra battery

The worst part about extra battery and actually swapping them is the case bit.. I absolutely hate having to keep removing this extremely form fitting Speck candyshell case just to swap batterys.. And yes removing the back of the phone gets annoying fast..
Samsung likes to market extra batteries and the charging station but they don't make it easy to swap them.. What gives?

This times a million. I'd rather have the extra bulk than to have batteries in every pocket of my pants or shorts. It gets annoying really fast. Carry too many and you'll forget which one is charged and which one isn't.
I've experienced both with my Galaxy S3. Had total of 3 batteries and then switched to the Zero Lemon extended battery. The extended battery was great, but once I took that off and put back the original battery. Man, I was missing out on how light it was.
After getting my Galaxy S4, I decided to just get the Anker 2 battery kit. I prefer the lightness (w/ case) of the phone compared to the brick. I don't mind switching out the batteries and I find a case that's durable enough to be taken on/off often without any issues (UAG case was a champ).
During the work week I only carry one extra battery with me and it's in my wallet. Also, I never get confused on which battery to use. During the weekend I bring my backpack with me and have a portable charger along with a dock/battery charger that I can use if needed to charge up the used battery. So I'm always ready and never run out of juice.
Obviously if you don't want to deal with all that, just get the extended battery. I just prefer having a slim phone and already had some stuff that I might as well use.

If you're camping and kayaking, and generally enjoying the great outdoors, I imagine you're doing it with friends/family. How much data / screen time are you really burning through on these trips? Just throw it on Airplane mode when you don't need a signal and forget about it. The battery life on these things is amazing. Clearly beats my old GNex's horrid battery life.

Why not? Some people aren't concerned about the additional bulk that's added to the phone as long as they don't have to worry about charging their devices frequently. The s4 isn't bad on battery life, but if you can put a bigger battery on the phone and have the battery life extended by 2-4 times, then that's one less issue some people have to worry about. I'm typically near a power source, whether it be at home, work or in the car so I could just plug in my phone if needed.
I had a Powerskin for my Thunderbolt. I really like that type of solution. Use it on travel days, then just take it off when you don't need it.
Now, I just have an EasyAcc power bank for travel in my bag. Done. There is almost nothing I could imagine doing where it is not a good solution. If you are camping, etc., then your phone is not in your pocket...its in your bag. If you are flying, then you have a bag. If you are driving, then you have power.
The only thing I could come up with is a day at an amusement park. And then you are not using your phone...because...roller coaster.
Just got my anker x2 replacement battery's in the mail =D waiting to see how long they last compared to the stock battery
Cuz I don't want to have to manage 2 batteries. And the s 4 is too thin imho. The added bulk makes for a sturdier grip.
