Is there any standard sized extended batteries out there that don't change the form factor of the phone but give more juice?

I believe you can find it on amazon for cheaper.
There is one by Hyperion on Amazon. 1800 mAh but I can't comment on how good it actually is
Thanks for the speedy responses. I'll look into those
Make sure to report back how it works. The hyperion one mentioned above is not supposed to cause the boot loop problem.

Make sure it's the i777 one, they just released it and like mentioned above its supposed to remedy the boot loop issue that the i9100 caused.
Good info, ill order one and check it out too
I just received my hyperion battery today and I can say its just a Lil bit lighter and thinner then the original battery. Out of curiosity are we suppose to drain these battery first because I just put it in my phone and charged it.

Hey! Mugen Power has a OEM sized extended battery for AT&T SGS2
1800mAh man
Also they have a super-big one: 3200mAh
The actual answer is no.

Yes. There is a very reliable one where I bought several times from them.
mugen-power-batteries.com
Normally for one model they have the standard size with extend capacity and another super size with 2-3 times capacity of the standard one. I have tried HTC Sensation's extended battery, works great on my HTC.
Hope you can find what you need. Besides, they ship to all over the world for free!

The HTC Sensation is a special case because it shares batteries with the Evo 3D, but other phones either you're buying something with the same capacity as the stock battery, or less.
If OEMs could make a battery with more capacity in the same space, we have to ask ourselves, why wouldn't they do it?
Exactly... The amount of money they spend on the battery technology alone is crazy. In the old days before smart phones motorola lived and bashed on good battery life... It was the selling point for phones... Until smart phones. But in my opinion it's even more important

Its difficult to quantify battery life as its so subjective to actual use/ user habits.
That said, battery technology is pretty good and consistent. You can only get so much "juice" in a battery given its size.
samsung made a 2000 mAh for the euro galaxy s 2, it ads just a little bit of thickness
I would agree with the claims that battery life is nearly impossible to extend but I personally really noticed how much battery life went up with my Inspire when I tried going back to the OEM battery with my normal daily use I'd do with the extended battery. It was incredible what a difference a few hundred mAh make
Sent from my Samsung GT-I9100
It'd be hella nice to get a 2000 mAh battery with NFC support for less than $40.

1900mah as opposed to the 1750 stock. Brand is platinum which is made by siedio, a very reputable accessory company. I'm currently rocking the 3500mah battery, ya it makes the phone pretty big but I enjoy the freedom of not having to worry bout a charger.

But i can literally get 2+ days of moderate use if I tried. I just tend to be on my phone a lot (dling roms, flashing, Googling) and with this battery I can do all that on the go and not have to worry about charging in car or at friends place. And this isn't even the largest mah battery they sell. They have a 4000mah cell that's just as big as this and would be a monster

the only reason I bought the 3500 is because I work at best buy and go a good discount on it, otherwise I would have bought the 4000

What ROM and kernel are you using? I've gotten better life with some of the ROM's I've flashed, but nowhere near what you are reporting, even with an extended battery.
This is the only battery I would use.
ALL of the aftermarket batteries are at 3.7v - and use lithium polymer - while the 3d requires a battery at 3.8. Another thing is the 6.57Whr rating which I HIGHLY doubt these aftermarket)read: cheap) batteries can provide...especially since the spec isnt listed on the retail sites Ive visited.
Always go official.

Two OEM batteries are better than one huge, cheap extended battery. The devices aren't intended to run on a huge battery and recharging a large capacity battery in the phone is not ideal, technically.
But the aftermarket batteries will always use lower quality materials and worse craftsmanship than OEM.

I would say Yes, but do this first.... Charge all the way to 100% when your in the rom. Unplug.. turn off the phone completely... plug in the charger again... wait for the charging light to turn green, than wipe battery stats and use it....
Thanks for all your input... !
Don't use this s*** from ebay. Get a normal product from a quality brand.

the batteries from mugen are 1950 and 3600mAh, but yeah not much of a difference between the 1730 to 1950
Has anyone found a good alternative for battery replacement on this phone? I just got the arcsoft 2010 Mah and it seems to drain faster than the original! Only had it a day now and have not let it do a complete cycle, not even sure that is necessary. More input would be appreciated.

I use the ferocitymobile.com ones they work well and come with a stand alone charger.

If anyone has noticed, Zero Lemon has extended batteries made for a selected few devices. Extended batteries are usually made up of two batteries stuck together. Zero lemon makes their own extra large second battery on top that much further extends power capacity.

Yep looks like our OG Notes are being shunned for accessories. I combed eBay and Google for a rugged case with battery and got nothing, even an extended battery door case would be lovely, but it seems it's either one or the other: good case or a big battery. Considering the screen size my battery life is decent, but I think I'll be jumping to e Note 3 or Nexus 5 with battery case soon.
My biggest complaint with my GNote which I bought late in the game end of last year full retail yes I shouldnt have gotten an att branded one but they are treating it like a certain windows developer treats their mistakes, Oh we screwed up kick it under the rug and act like it didnt happen, I have tried a few extended batteries they are junk etc some of them are just a regular battery and a weight after disassembling them.

Designed to provide maximum mobile freedom, Mugen Power 4700mAh (milliamp hour) Lithium-Polymer battery case extends the life of the Verizon HTC Droid DNA by 3 times delivering enough power to recharge the stock 2020mAh battery twice after it is depleted. This impressive battery performance allows consumers, especially those who are often on the move, to use the device longer. The new battery is fully compatible and fits well on to Verizon HTC Droid DNA.

It fugly as all get out too! At least the Mophie packs for Iphone5 are sleek and good looking. They do add alot of bulk but they're not ugly. I will say this though, these are putting out 4700 mAh while the mophies for iphone are only like 1200mAh or so and those sell for $100. So by that notion these aren't a bad deal.
I don't think it looks that bad, if it were in the $40-50 range I'd totally grab one.
If they were cheap I'd get one to travel with but not for everyday use

It has to be one hour of screen life lol. I've finally gotten my phone to only use 1-2% of it's battery while its on stand by. However it doesnt matter how long I've had the phone on or anything if I go to 2 hours of screen on time my phone is sitting around 50% +/- a few depending on some other factors. So that's the only conceivable way for me to see him doing it.
Missed the comment above about Mophie and you're 100% right. This is a great deal compared to their offerings for the ONE or the S3. 100$ here gets you a lot more juice.
Thanks you very much news, I think HTC phone's battery accessories is still very good, lifespan can reach 10 hours of the time it brought me a lot of convenience and benefits, I do not have to worry about no electricity and phone things affect me

A one year warranty sounds pretty darn good. I can't bring myself to spend $90 though, and no way $100 for the brick unless I was traveling. Tempted by the extra 3000 and doesn't look THAT bad. Hell this thing barely fits in my pocket as is, what's an extra few mm going to really matter? Price point on mugen products are notoriously high and stay there. I don't see this being any cheaper. I may just pull the trigger on this but have to sleep on it a few days first. Not an impulse shopper by any means.
I'll pick one up in the next week or two, it's ideal for my purposes, especially since I bought a GoPro Hero 3 Black which I control from my phone using Wi-Fi. The extra power will be very useful.

Since one of the biggest reasons I bought this device was for the replaceable battery, I like to have a spare just incase in my bag or something if I forget to charge it and don't have the time to.
Hi blcistheking, Did you end up finding batteries? My Dad purchased the same phone (on-line) and is unable to get replacement batteries easily. I'm hoping you may be able to recommend a good battery / supplier. Cheers, D
