I was looking around spare battery for my new Note 3 and found some of the same size as original. I had one of those mpj batteries for my previous S3. It probably exaggerate their specs, but still managed to squeeze several hundred more mah and worked good even five months later. Much better than my OEM one out of amazon. Thought it was still worth a roll of the dice to go back to a replacement battery from them. Just received mine yesterday, didn’t measure how much longer but I assume it lasts me 1-2 hrs more before it died.
Edit: I think the battery is still be good condition.
Cheers
ive actually ordered one of these with the added NFC, i hope it goes well. will post here specs also.

Do a full review please. I am also thinking about buying it.
I normally get 5-6 hours of on screen time with stock battery at 60% brightness.
Would it be real? I mean 4500mah in the same size?

It probably adds 10% amount of the new stock battery, but still think it is a good replacement:cyclops:impressive for 20 bucks.
Mine arrived today, its the same size and backcase fits on fine. Im currently charging it up. it came with 57% charge but so far, a episode of the walking dead (40 mins) took 8% battery with full brightness.

That sounds not bad
After a night of full charge, i took it off and battery drained 4% in 2 mins 30 seconds. Only had wifi of and did not do anything heavy other than check email. Not good! ill see how i go through out the day,.
Im hoping this will be sorted after a few recharge cycles etc..but i may have to have the stock battery as a backup!
My sister ordered one and it arrived few days ago. Screen on 38% and at 10 hrs she was still at 70% left.
If anyone has this battery or any extended battery please download gsam in the market it will give you the exact voltage of your battery for example see picture. . This is my stock Battery it's low because my phone currently needs a charge but I would imagine that of someone had an extended battery that was fully charge it would give you the accurate mah so we can see what batteries are legit on ebay and amazon and share with our fellow xda users

What what I recall, with smartphone batteries, the first 15% will always discharge faster. remember, percentage isn't rate.

The official extended battery. Is the one sold in Verizon. Made by HTC.
Im a power hungry person and this battery goes 2 days with background data on!
i tried the official htc/verizon extended battery but it took twice as long to charge it and only lasted about an hour longer then the original. i ended up taking it back for a refund.
and unlike most people who use their phone for calls/txts & will leave it sitting around for long hours, i do not do that. i'm constantly either browsing the web, watching a video, or streaming music. the only time i don't have the phone doing something is when i'm sleeping.
i usually have to charge my phone 2- 3 times a day.
I purchased the official HTC extended battery and it is WELL worth the money! With HEAVY use it will easily get you through a day. With moderate use, 2 days for sure. With light use it might get you 3-4.
I unplugged my phone yesterday morning at about 7:30-8 in the morning and right now and 4:13 p.m. on Wednesday I still have 29%!

There is no way! The extended battery EASSSILLLY lasts twice as long. You must have had a rogue app,widget, or ROM.

i had it when i had my 1st Thunderbolt, it was stock(never rooted it), no widgets(used launcher pro), already knew about all the battery saving tips & had watchdog on making sure nothing was eating up cpu.
i have not tried an extended on a rooted phone though so perhaps i can give it a go again.

REVIEW:
OK, so I have had this bundle for a while and have done a lot of test on different ROMS and different usage. Here's what my personal experience showed me:
Before full testing I charged each battery and ran till phone shut off on joker's CM9. After battery would was charged I left on charger for another 6 hours. I did this 4 times for each battery.
Common across the board:
1) Battery never became hot
2) Broke one battery door doing battery pulls between ROM installs (bottom seems very flimsy and snapped off. Good thing it comes with 2 battery doors.
3)Battery indicator does not read battery level correctly on any ROM or kernel.
4) I used battery calibration app from market to do calibrate battery ever ever full charge. Same app on each test.
5) Once batteries where full cycled and ready for testing I never used stock battery.
STOCK ROM FINDINGS:
So I returned my photon to completely stock and rooted. No matter what I did when the battery level hit 0% the phone would shut off. I know the battery was not dead and my best estimate is there was over 50% of battery life left but because the battery level was not reading properly the system was seeing it as stock battery and thought it was dead. On average I would get between 6-8 hours of battery life before it would shut off. This was with moderate use.
Also sometimes my battery would go from 100% and drop immediately to 5% after mild use. Don't know why but it started doing this towards the end of the test.
So my findings on stock ROM you won't see much difference in battery life over stock. So if you are only going to run stock I would not recommend to buy this bundle.
JOKER'S CM9 BUILD:
Next I unlocked my bootloader again and installed Joker's CM9 build. Let me just say WOW. With moderate to heavy use I was getting between 32-40 hours of battery life. The battery indicator would hit 0% and didn't shut done till battery died. On average after 12-18 hours I would hit 0% and would remain there till the 32-40 hour mark. This was done with Joker's kernel that comes installed with CM9. I started test on 3.3 and ended test on 4.0.
If you are rooted and unlocked I would highly recommend buying this bundle as you will see and increase in battery life.
MIUI CM9:
So after testing on Joker's CM9 I decided to give MIUI a try. Bettary life was ok. On average I got 12-24 hours of battery life on MIUI with moderate to heavy use. Still better then stock but not as impressive as Joker's CM9. Same thing as Joker's CM9 with battery hitting 0% and remaining there till battery died. Most of the time I hit 0% around the 8 hour mark and remained there till the 12-24 hour mark.
RECAP:
Remeber I did multiple battery calibrations on battery after it was full charged and after every ROM flash. I used only the kernels that the ROMS come with. On stock I don't recommend buying this bundle but if you are rooted and unlocked I recommend buying as you will she an increase in battery life. Your battery will not read properly on any ROM. If this review helps you please don't forget the thanks button. Happy Mopohing everyone.
Review
I have this battery bundle for about 4 months. Been doing some extensive testing on it since then. I am a heavy user and I like everything on the max settings. Max brightness to leaving Wifi, bluetooth, and streaming music for over 8 hours a day.
Before I tried testing it, I had charged it on the included charger for over 8 hours. Each battery. I ran it down until the phone shut off and then swapped out the batteries using the included charger to charge them. I did a Full Cycle Charge about 5 times before I decided to power house them.
Natural Things
Battery became hot when phone became hot.
Battery door is very cheap and is broken. Glad it comes with 2 of them
No matter what ROM and Battery Mod I ran or flashed, the battery indicator displayed 1% for several hours.
No Battery calibration apps worked at all.
I only used the stock in my car for emergency backup when the batteries did die.
Usage
I get about 8 - 12 hours of heavy heavy usage. When I'm not at work or school, (my day's off), I am on my phone all day. I connect to WiFi and brightness is maxed. I stream music the entire time I drive. I use my navigation at least for 30 minutes a day. I am connected to Bluetooth with maximum sound coming from the phone and moderate on the headphones.
I get about 12 - 24 hours of moderate usage. When I'm at school or work, I am on my phone every so often without messing with any settings. I connect to WiFi and brightness is maxed. I stream music the entire time I drive. I use my navigation at least for 30 minutes a day. I am connected to Bluetooth with maximum sound coming from the phone and moderate on the headphones.
Suggestions
I recommend this battery package if you want to use your phone and not be too worried about it dying ever. I swap the batteries out when they die and I haven't seen any problems with it besides the battery indicator and the occasional heating of the phone and battery.
So that's my review on this battery pack. In short, buy it.
Yea. It is massive. Comes with extended battery door.

Hello XDA. Another post to try and help the community. I just received my order from eBay and wanted to share.
So I decided to buy some extra batteries to have on hand so as not to run out of juice. In the process, I also wanted a separate charger to keep them charged. To my amazement, I found the Anker charger WITH 2 replacement batteries for $14.99 shipped from a California seller!
I also ordered a Hyperion desktop dock that has a built in charger for an extra battery. This dock should arrive later this week but also a California seller off eBay! I'll post when that arrives.
Anyway, back to the Anker. Packaging is nice. It's in retail packaging as if it's sold in stores. Comes with instructions too! The charger is universal and can charge many different styles of batteries. It also has a USB port to charge another item while it's charging battery. The other nice thing is it will charge from a wall outlet OR a car charger! The mini USB plug is also on the side with the USB port. I'm not so sure on the charging pins however as they seem a bit thin and will require to be lined up every time a battery is inserted. The pins slide from right to left to allow for different size batteries. That's another issue. The battery for the Note is so big that it has to sit off to one side to allow for the charging pins to make contact.
The batteries are also retail packaged and come with instructions. They are White in color... Matches my Note.... And seem about the same weight. They are listed at 2500Mah but I have yet to try them out for longevity.
There are many pics I've taken to try and paint a picture as to what you'll get if you decide to order. Hopefully this will help someone who may want or need them. Any questions, let me know!

Hopefully these items will work and provide long lasting performance. If not, it was only $14.99.....

let us know the life for one full charge plz...
I got something similar for my Xperia Play last year. I only wanted the charger but it came with two batteries and was only £10 or £15.
I expected the two batteries to be useless but here I am a year later still using them, sometimes for weeks at a time as my primary battery as I tend to charge my phone a lot so it helps keep the official battery good for longer.
The batteries are of course not as good as the official one, probably around 75-80% as good but I have been very happy with them so far. So even if these batteries are similar that is money well spent in my opinion.
i got it at amazon at the same price 14.99$ (2 batteries and charger) with GUARANTEE 2 days deliver! i'm a Prime member. maybe due to popular demand, they raised the price to 16.99$ on amazon now.

i just use it like any other battery, charge it and use it.
after i got these inexpensive batteries, i havnt use the original samsung battery!
these anker battery last me the whole day just like original samsung battery. (i charge it when i go sleep).
the only time i swap battery is when phone battery is getting low or i forgot to charge it.
I also bought this same Anker deal for my Galaxy S -- off the same guy. They seemed to work as well as stock, though I didn't do any testing. They were supposed to be 300 mah bigger then stock -- I didn't notice a diference. Funny thing is it was more expensive for the batteries for my Galaxy S that are smaller then these haha. Anyways I'm not a huge fan of the charger. It says in the manual to not leave your battery charging for more then 24 hours, so I assume that means it continues to charge the battery after it reaches 100% and you'll want to take your battery off as soon as possible to avoid degradation. The charger is also made for any battery so it has these awkward sliding pins you have to set on your batteries + and - each time which can be a little annoying. Other then that, great buy.

I got these from a seller on Amazon for 8.99 I think it was. Couldn't go wrong. I actually get better life from these than my samsung battery!
Well, first charge cycle was in the 10.5 hour range with 3:25 minutes on screen. Charged it from %1 overnight so lets see what day 2 brings. I leave the wifi on as well as GPS and I'm in an LTE area with so-so signal. My average life is 12-13 hours with 2.5-3 hours screen so if I get the same oit of these, I'd be just fine with that.

Found these on ebay. I personally own two of the 1800 mAh AceSoft batteries and I have seen somewhat of an improvement over the stock (granted it's only 1.5 hours extra on average), but that's better than nothing. These are 1980 mAh
These are some stats from the 1800

Good find for 14.00 what the heck.. can't be any worse than my stock bat.
I got one of the 1,800 AceSofts with a battery charger on eBay for like $15 total. I didn't see any gain at all with it, even after a couple cycles. I bought the Mugen, after making sure if it didn't do anything I could return it, and got good results. The first two days with it saw awful life, but I followed their directions and now get about 15% better life. Which doesn't really do much for standby time, but with the same screen on time, I can go to bed now at like 30% instead of around 15-20. Can't really fully recommend it yet, as I know a lot of these third party batteries lose their max mAh over time pretty quickly. But as for now, the Mugen is worth it for me. Kinda want to try the 4,000mAh, but it's waaaaay to expensive lol
Ordered one as well. I have the Mugen 1900 and my accuracy readings were always off. The phone always went from 24% -14% within seconds and would die rigth after that. I did the battery stats things and that didn't help (I know it doesn't really calibrate the battery at all) so I put my stock back in and I'm getting the same battery life with it that I was with the Mugen. and its nice to have an accurate battery again. We'll see how this one does. The Mugen battery is rediculously overpriced. We shall see how this one does.

Can you post up some screen shots side by side with the stock ones screen shots when you do, for comparison purposes? I hope it really makes a difference, I'll definitely buy if it does.

I'd be happy to but that will take a few days if you want it to accurate at all lol. A couple to get an accurate read on the new battery and a full day to drain the stock one and get a ss

Thunderbolt batteries work. I have a thunderbolt 2750 extended in my phone, right this second. I swap it in with my normal 2750 rezound extended. They're $4, all over the place (without the back cover, which you don't need anyway, because it's the wrong one).
I'd imagine if they make 1980's or anything like it for thunderbolt, that one of those would be worth trying as well.
got mine on saturday
Ok I received my 1980 battery yesterday I am going to charge it up for 6 hours per the instructions. I'll post my results later this week.
Here are initial results. It died at the red mark. Went from 19% to 8% in about ten minutes then just died. So that's about 15 hours with 3 hours of streaming music from play music in a low reception area. Keep in mind this is day one (and I did calibrate the battery before use)
This Space For Rent...Fax me
Screen time on that? Are you pleased with the results so far?
Just got my Hyperion 6200mah better from Amazon for about 20 bucks with shipping. Used a dremel to mod my otter box defender like in the other threads which worked wonderfully. Currently doing the initial 12 hour charge cycle. Will post updates to battery life during the first four or five cycles and then do a final update once the battery has been broken in after the initial max to min cycles. Hadn't seen anyone else post any stats or review this one yet on here. I have an anker 6200 on the way as well so I will compare the two once I receive that one as well. Decided to test these two before taking the plunge on a 106.00 mugen 6400. Hopefully I won't have a reason to buy the mugen after these two are broken in.
Cool, hope the battery is good
Would you mind posting a link for how to mod the defender, im interested but cant find the topic
Thanks

I don't think it tells you an exact process on how to do it but has pics. The way I marked for my cuts was to put the Hyperion in and place the back cover over top, lining it up exactly where the tabs fit in then flipping it over carefully and picking the phone up letting the battery come out exactly where it sits in the battery slot. I then used a marker to trace around the battery and used a cutting wheel attachment to trace the guide marks then smoothed the jagged edges from the cuts with the flat edge of the wheel. After that, I just placed the modified back into the backing of the otter box hard shell making sure to line it up exactly and then trace the opening of the stock back and then cut the guide marks with the same cutting wheel and just kept sanding down the edges of the cuts until smooth. Hope this helps
Unplugged the phone after the twelve hour initial charge at about 10:30am and have been constantly browsing the Web and downloading with live wallpaper and screen at max brightness. It is now 3pm and I am at 91% battery. I received my anker 6200mah today and have it on charge so once I drain the Hyperion all the way I will be starting my test with it also. Getting bored of messing with my phone but I want to try to drain this battery so I can try the anker tomorrow but I don't know if I will be able to. Maybe I will just loop a hi Def movie for the rest of the day or something. I need to fully charge and discharge 4-5 times to get the battery to max capacity but at this rate that will take forever lol. Will keep updating as the day goes on. This battery seems to be a beast so far though

Play the game Tower Raiders 3, that drops the battery level at a pretty alarming rate! The SiriusXM app is a close second.
Please do a review of both of the extended batteries once you get them all settled. Im sure its a pain to run that much battery down multiple times, but thank you for doing it!

Will do. I only posted this here because of the other post about the anker. I have been constantly playing games and Web browsing all day and I have only gotten it down to 61 so far. I'll start a thread in accessories to update from this point forward once I have everything broken in and have been using the phone as I normally would. When I'm working and have the phone on me and don't get to use it that much, I'm sure I will be going for a couple of days without charging but we will see very soon.
Have u got anything close to my 50+ hours on and 12+ screen time. On the second charge ????

Are you using the Hyerion battery as well?
No anker

Just got my hyperion in and installed. Quality is better than what I expected for the price. Also got the tpu case in however the case seems to not fit as tight on one side of the phone.
Pretty darn good value and quality for less than $30. I'm excited to see how long it will last me. I never have wifi so my usage won't be as good as some but I'm still optimistic.

That's fine and that wasn't a"Oh wrong section" comment. I was actually trying to find a review for somebody and couldn't but had to search general and accessories because you never know. But I checked accessories first because there's where it should be. So all I was saying is to put the review where it should be so it's easy to find.

I am only on the initial charge on the anker but I have had the phone on since about 8 this morning and have been using it as I normally would at work and it is now 5:36 and I am still at 87%. Loving it so far. Btw I did start a new post in accessories but I will keep updating both I suppose.
I can't help but wonder how Mugen and Seidio get away with charging what they do for batteries....
