GET THIS: search over. http://www.cowboom.com/product/823263
its a rebranded seido (3400mah). its double the life for cheap. they used to sell this in retail at best buy. bought mine a week ago, it was 6.99 then.
its basically the 4000mah battery with less mah. but for way cheaper.
cowboom is great but if you have doubts you can google or ebay the model number HDB21SB its usually under 20 bucks.

spaceosc,
Just curious. Will this fit in the OEM HTC EVO 3D dock?
Thanks

Given the little flap in the back of the dock i see no way that it could.
the battery nearly doubles the thickness of the 3d for 90 percent of the length.
the battery its self is basically two stock batteries stacked together.
I have both the 4000 and 3500. The 4000 is my primary and 3500 the secondary. They're both excellent. You just have to reboot it a couple of times to get a full charge. It can't be helped.

oohaylima,
Do you recommend any specific brand?
I have the Anker 1900. Stock battery size and was cheap! About £8-9.
I do see an improvement in battery life so it's a good buy in my opinion.

The 4000 and 3500 you posted are the ones I have. People say it makes are phone look big, but I just tell them to not hate on me for for not having small hands like they do.
What made me get them? When I was out in the field, I wasn't always near an outlet. There where times when I was away from a power outlet for weeks. It was nice knowing I had the only working phone out there to make calls.

So the Seido Innocell and the 3500 Incredicell from AccessorySwamp.com are quality batteries you're saying. Heard anything about the Laza Zcell? It's 3460, instead of the 3500, and a bit cheaper. I think I've narrowed my choices to the 3 above. Thinking I'll start with the 3500.
Absolutely. Those both have a great track record. As for the last one, that's an odd one for me. Some people say it works, and others no. It's all about where you want to put your money pimpin.
i got the platinum SE (the one on cowboom). it works great, but i dont use it anymore. Battery life is good enough with stock after the first couple days of excitement for my phone wore off. Now i have extra battery left every night when i go to sleep, and so theres no point putting on the bigger heavier battery

And if you guys had the extended batteries, the results would be three times that shown.
The 4000 can also be bundled with a protective case. It's definitely a good investment if you're clumsy, or have rough working environments.

All these batteries + G1 Dock with 2nd slot battery charger = WIN.
So. Many. Batteries.
Just got my other two in from ebay at $4 a pop. They were supposed to be OEM replacements but to my suprise, one of them says "1300mAh Replacement Battery For HTC G1". The other looks like a replica of an OEM battery but you can tell its not OEM. For $8 for both though, who really cares? lol, here's some pics of all my batteries.

Seidio 2600mAh With Extended Back Door $50
Andida "1600mAh" Extended Batteries (2) They are $10 each but i got em $10 for both
And of course, my stock OEM pos bloated HTC battery but you all know what that looks like.
Think i got enough Juice?
Impressive. I also have a 'defective' andida that I charge with an external charger. I have one of those white label batteries that came with one of my external chargers. It's a good emergency battery, but inferior to the OEM. I have a Seido 1400 that works pretty well. The Seido and the Andida seem to last about the same time in the phone. I still use the OEM even though it started bulging a bit. I hope that doesn't mean it's about to explode.
Depending on usage, I can rotate out all four batteries in a single day. The new radio has improved battery life, though.
How do they perform?

Yea, i was gonna spring for the Seidio 1400 but for the price, i just spent a couple more dollars and got the 2600 Extended at the time. My OEM battery is buldgy as a mofo too, that sh!t scares me sometimes lol. It dies so quick, its ridiculous.

There is no words for the Seidio 2600, that thing is a beast. 3 days easy with everything on. The Andidas last about a day and a half with heavy usage and some things turned off. The others i havent tested yet and the OEM is garbage, lasts about 4 hours max with LIGHT usage.
I have no plans on making my G1 a super brick...yet.
Hey do you have a link for the andida battery, I cant find'em anywhere .

Unforunately, he stopped selling them after the whole fiasco he went through with getting a bad batch and sending it out to everyone then having to replace them all...he just called it quits. =\
If you wanna see exactly what im talking about, just read up on the Andida 1600mAh Battery thread, its like 50 pages long from various XDA members including myself waiting months and months and months for a working $10 extended battery...it was crazy.
On another note though, i've heard there are other 1600mAh extended batteries on ebay so just do a search and they should come up. I think i remember one guy telling me about "Ecell" extended batteries? Give it a go and let us know how it goes.
Got myself this along with my friend. Just got a i717 and probably need some batteries from all those video playback i'll be doing. It's rated at 2800mAh seems pretty good! I'll post some results in next couple days!

I'm really curious about this one.
I wouldn't mind trying it just because we don't have NFC baked into our batteries.
Although I'm not sure how it will do vs. the OEM one
consider this is near the price of a single official battery, i think this is worth a shot!
Does this require a new battery cover? If not I might pick it up.
WOW... only 2800mah x 2 pcs + charger, It's a very good deal WOW WOW WOW
Does this fit behind the stock battery cover?

From what we can tell, yes. Just higher capacity w/ the same size.
One nice thing about this is that we get to keep our NFC while boosting the battery
Has anyone got this yet and tested it? It's very tempting... although my note's battery life is better than my skyrocket...
I highly doubt it actually has a higher capacity than the OEM battery. All of the aftermarket batteries I've tried, even though claiming to have higher capacities than OEM (2900mAh), have only been ~65-75% of OEM. They seem to have no problem lying. So the best deal so far seems to be the $3 batteries on ebay.
definitely report back with some results. I would love to know if they are atleast as good as OEM although I am always really skeptical about after market batteries as I have yet to find any that work as they claim....
I would love it if a 3000mAh could fit stock.
i would agree IF it really pans out to be a 3000MAh battery however if history dictates anything... it wont...
QCell has some good reviews on Amazon. And you also get a battery charger. I think it would be worth it

Lying???? That is a terrible thing to say. Everyone knows you can get batteries for 1/4 the price and they are just as good...especially pin Ebay!
Stick with OEM on batteries for better performance. I found out the hard way a few times.

OEM are good no doubt but definitely not the best bang for the bucks. Consider price of one oem is 4 of these. Even if they are of 80% capacity of oem, it is still much more than original capacity combined
ran some tests for a week and these are faring very well. In fact with these two batteries I don't need to use my OEM ones anymore. Both batteries last as long as the OEM batteries I have. With these two, I can go out for a full day without worry of no power This is quite good of an investment for my i717 juice sucker.
Wonder when the extended battery for this is out. Will be interesting to have just one battery and that's it

Check ebay or amazon sometimes you get a cheaper deal
Awesome! I didn't even realize they made extended battery cases for the Evo 3d yet. Makes my life a whole lot easier since the dang bezel on the phone is starting to come off.
Way too pricey for me... And bulky as well... Thanks for the pics
so guys, after 2 charging cycles, this battery is amazing.
It last 2 days with normal use and i still had 30%. (with stock battery it last 1 day)
10 hours screen on, 30 minutes call, 30 minutes gps, 20 photos etc...wow

NICE I would jump on it and snag one up lol just kinda pricey...
Please don't think I'm trying to rain on your parade. The cheapy ebay extended batteries will do that. If you consider your usage 'heavy' then maybe I'm interpreting the figures wrong?
However, I absolutely love the case and combo FINALLY an extended battery and cover in one. Really like the flip down panel for the camera as well, excellent feature.
You're right. I bought this battery because i know that i want a seidio extended combo case. I like it (i know about thread with otterbox defender maximum edition )
I had hard day in work, heavy usage, screen on, skype online all the time, some games...it last 24 hours to 42% battery. With stock battery i did only 11 hours and battery was dead with this usage.
So i like seidio battery, cheapy ebay maybe do the same work, but i have special defender case
Well.. have to say.. I've started looking at the Seido stuff now my Evo 3D has arrived, even though I said I wouldn't spend that money lol. (And an extended battery/cover already turned up today for it lol). Really do appreciate the pics/links
After 1 day 12h usage at work, still 25% battery remain. Amazing. Screen on time, wifi, sync on...

your first post in this forum, thanks
but i love my phone
You got me sold brother. Just met a Sprint tech that actually knows his ****. He squared away my phone, and now I'm currently purchasing this product.
Gonna be out in the field for a few weeks. If this item claims stay accurate, I'm gonna be a happy camper when I return.
The case I just purchased is only $30.
http://www.gadgetneeds.net/seidio-c...a=X&ei=nb3UT8e7IObe0QHjhfyTAw&ved=0CHIQgwgwCQ
I'll get it in a few days, and will post back to validate material quality.
Just came back from the field. This combo kicks ass. Bought both the battery and the case at amazon for 80 dollars.
If you're never near an outlet, this one is worth the investment.
Hi, do you use any of tracking app (like endomondo/runkeeper)? I would like to know how many % of battery it takes for 1 hour (no 3g/edge, only gsm and gps with screen of)? Would be nice if you could do some tests. Thanks
Hey everyone here is my little review on the Qcell "4150 mAh" Extended battery sold on Amazon.
First thing I have to say is that I WILL be updating this post as I go through charge cycles with this battery.
Upon receiving the battery yesterday, I put it to charge right away. I did a stress test on it and let it recharge once more after draining. I must say that the packaging on it is better than most "ebay" batteries that I receive. It came in a little "Qcell" pouch with the battery and cover.
Today, I tested the battery. It ran for ~18hrs 40 min with a 4 hour screen time and 3 email accounts pushing with moderate internet browsing.
I have to say at the moment, it is not worth carrying this pregnant phone around with only the ~5 hrs increase in usage time. However, I hope that after it goes through some charge cycles it will get better. The battery it self is about 1.4 cm thick(I just used a ruler and eyeballed it)
Now moving on to the cover. The back cover is white and semi close to the OEM back cover. It has no markings anywhere and is not as glossy. The back "hump" is is unlike the Mugen Extended Battery covers, it only raises the battery portion while leaving the camera/flash flush with the phone. The cover does feature the NFC however, I do not know how to test it . It also has NO kickstand.
Problems:
My main complaint at the moment is the cover IS VERY LOOSE on the phone . I do not even need to pry it apart using the corner near the volume rocker, I can literally pull it off by jiggling it from one side.
I have sent a complaint to Qcell and they are sending me a new cover so hopefully I just received a defective model.
In conclusion, the battery it self isn't too pricy and I honestly should expect a premium quality with it. The battery does it's job by outlasting the OEM/Ankers that I use but at the moment I would rather stick with my Ankers. The pregnant phone also doesn't look as attractive and slick. I also cannot use my case which makes me very paranoid about dropping it.
Let me know if you guys need any more pictures or have any questions!
Here are some picture comparisons of the battery on my phone, OEM and Extended.
P.S. sorry about the last picture, my OEM battery is still in use so I decided to grab the next closest thing, the Anker one haha.

Thanks for the info and pics. Hopefully through battery gets better.
Wow that cover makes the phone look more than twice as thick. I am surprised.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
sexy + ugly = ugly!
I rather carry a normal size spear battery in my pocket.
Update after a week of use.
After about a week of use, I can say that it honestly is not worth carrying this around. If Qcell would produce a better battery cover then I may consider going back but at the cost of my phones beauty and impracticality I'm going to have to put this battery away except for when I have no other batteries to use.
The battery has performed better(as it should) from day one. I can get a full day of heavy use which is nice, but the LOOSE battery cover just keeps me paranoid.
How this has helped you with your choice on 1 of the many extended batteries out there.
I like it
Just wanted to help out and say try it again. I had a heck of a time getting my cover on as well. I like how I can mod my old silicone case for this. And battery will hopefully get better with time.
Tip- try placing phone on flat surface and press hard on edges near battery. Mine snaps tight.
I think it would be a better idea just to get another battery. That over-sized battery just looks hideous on the phone. How were you able to put it in your pocket?

I completely agree, I have 3 ankers at my disposal along with my OEM
But I just figured I give it a shot since no one on the forums has done a review on it yet and it is also my first Extended battery for any phone I have owned.
If you have decided it is something you will not use and you would consider selling it, I am interested. I am in the hospital at the moment, but should be out by Wednesday, I will have my paycheck by then and can make arrangements with you.

Jb0nd38372,
They are only 11 bucks on Amazon with free shipping. I think it's cheaper than buying from me TBH. Because shipping it out to you would cost a few bucks.
Thanks for the offer tho!
Ok just thought I would offer, and I had never checked price, actually just skipped to the review part. Gotta wonder for 11 bucks wonder what they skipped on. The cells may be of the "questionable" quality.

Well for 1, the cover is crap...
and the battery is not amazing compared to my OEMS/Anker.
It sucks our phones are so thin for extended battery. Thanks for the review though, I was trying to picture the extended battery on the note. I think i'm go with 3-4 spare batteries

Haha good choice, go with Ankers or OEMs. Had the best output with them.
Just sent my QCell Batteries back to Amazon. One would not take a charge and the other one would only last 9 hours.
Picked up Anker as a replacement.
Does anyone know if Samsung is going to be putting out an official extended battery for the Galaxy S3? I don't trust the cheap "extended" third party batteries that are likely relabeled standard sizes with cheap cells, considering they're the exact same size, yet claim 1000+ mAh over the standard.
They did it for the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, but I have no idea when that battery came out in comparison to the Galaxy Nexus's launch.
Any suggestions?
I just picked up the Hyperion extended battery and back cover.
first initial charge:
Almost 42 hours of use.
Just so you know, I loaded my s3 with as much load as I could:
Turned off auto bright set screen just past middle
Engaged all my "live" apps that Galway update, including eBay, tapatalk, xda pre., etc.
Turned on WiFi, blue tooth, data, and every possible battery trainer I could think of and put all my emails to push.
I you tubed the hell out of it, looked at some porn vids, played the greatest game ever made for android as much as possible, basically tried to get to zero as fast as possible.
42+ hours and then it went time red.
Hyperion is a very reliable battery.
Something else weird:
My WiFi signal was stronger.
Could be a placebo thing but I will report back again Friday, as I need to charge for 8 hours again. It is suggested to drain to red and charge fir 8 hours straight a few times.
Hyperion ftw !

Nice car, I have a black '04. :good:
Do you have (or could you please post) a picture of the phone with the extended case sitting on a flat surface? I'm curious how much it makes the phone stick up. Also, have you come across any (protective) cases for extended battery backs?
that doesn't look any thicker than my epic did.

I'll try to post up some comparison pics today later on
Also have not looked around for extended cases but I think I have seen some.
OK so here's some comparison pics.
I used my htc rezound as something to compare it with. I think for some this at be to much, but the case actually makes the phone more ergonomical.
I loved the build of my amaze (resounds cousin) so for me the thickness isn't an issue.

Hola
Another inquiry... Did you ever come across a thin phone case that was compatible with the extended battery cover?
Btw thanks for the info on the battery and accompanying photos.
Edit: ahhh never mind. I missed the post where you said that you have not looked for a case.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
Link to said extended battery? Is it for the Att lte or international SG3 ??
Blazing Galaxy S3
Need to keep an eye on this thread. I know I will be looking for an extended life batter at some time.

Just eBay it. Hyperion hasvtheir own account and (another reason I buy from them) they are in Michigan. Nice not to have to buy from China.
I paid 16$ for the battery and cover.
I think the buy it now was like 20$
I thought I saw cases for extended batteries on eBay but not sure.
I'm gonna 're do my back cover and clear cote it and see how I feel about it. I like the naked feel. I may just do a full invisible body armor or something.
Also I previously contacted andida they said extended batteries for the gs3 would be out soon and it appears they are on eBay ad of yesterday.
I may buy one just for comparison.
I think the Andida was 4500 as opposed to this one being like 4100ma or something.
Edit: just looked at the battery... made in China....lol. ah well. Still a good product.

If you do end up finding a case that will protect the phone well and fits the extended battery then please post a link. I'm not going to buy an extended battery until I can buy a case for it. I have that bad habit of periodically dropping things. :banghead:

I ordered the battery and back cover yesterday from Amazon, Hyperion has their own account there as well. Same price as ebay. Estimated delivery time is sometime in the next three weeks, but if anyone is still interested when I get it I can put up some more pictures.

I would very much appreciate that. Since the S3 is so thin already, I was thinking about getting an extended battery.
That was my thought too. I never thought I'd say this, but it might actually be too thin. I also ordered a Seidio Active w/kickstand case, but that won't fit the extended battery.
Edit: A bit of new info I just found, Mugen is planning a 4600mAh battery w/cover and a protective case for it. They just recently released a 2300mAh battery, but the big one isn't out quite yet.

I have had great experiences with Seidio's extended batteries. I emailed them asking if they intend to make one for the G3. They replied and confirm that they will make one but would not give me any eta on it.
I just bought a Anker battery rated @ 2200mAh.. I prefer swapping batteries vs. having a thicker and heavier phone. I have used Anker with the sensation and the amaze. never let me down.

I had the Power brand from them for my EVO 4G. That thing ran all day with me playing games from time to time and playing on the internet. I think I might have went to the red maybe 3 or 4 times with that thing and it was late at night. I will be keeping an eye out for it from them.
One thing about the Seidio is their "soft coat" battery door. Unlike the oem cover which I find slippery, this soft coat gives a slight resistance.
I am looking to buy the seidio active with kickstand. This Commuter is too slippery! If I were to buy it, could I reasonably expect that seidio's eventual extended battery will fit in it?
