Last week I received the 3000mAh MPJ battery. The fit is quite snug, probably because of the paper around the battery but of course it does fit
It came 60% charged so immediately loaded it up fully as I wanted to see how this one would hold up Once full decided to do a battery test. Unfortunately that day I also had to use navigation (and that, as we know, uses quite a lot of juice) but even doing that the screen on time was around 4 hours and the battery lasted the whole day. In my experience running CM12 (which I do) uses a bit more than stock LG Roms so this will also depend on the system setup of course.
Charged it up again and set out to do a more proper test. Results below. The battery lasted for 3 days in which 3 hours of screen on time were used. Did quite a lot of texting using Whatsapp, some browsing, updating the installed apps, made some backups to Dropbox etc. This for me is a great result!
Of course as the original battery is also 3000mAh the expected runtime will not differ. But for a replacement battery this one holds up to it's advertised capacity very well (which isn't as logical as it might sound) so for me it is recommended :good:

The reason why i bought this battery is because i wanted to end my work shift with at least 20-30 percent(on a single battery) f obattery left to make phone call if needed, extend my phone usage away from a charger and longer web searching and the Andida 2000mAh didn't help at all. The result
OEM Battery 1500mAh: listening to music from 4 to 1am = 10% battery life left
Andida 2000mAh: ran 3 test each time my phone ended up dying around 11:30-12:00 this battery is not 2000mAh it somewhere around 1100-1300 it make an good back up battery but not an good extended battery.
I well be running some more test, like how long it last on 3G compared to the OEM battery but as of now i see theres no need to.
If you need an extra battery this is worth the money, but if you need an extended battery its not.
I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Haven't seen anything Earth-shattering as far as performance under normal use, but I watched a 2 and half hour movie on the device yesterday and it only went down to 50%.

i listen to alot of music etc etc daily when im at work so that when i would be able to see if its really a big change. I always end the night with about 10 percent of battery life.
Not terrible
I'm using a pair of these, with an external charger. I don't see that they provide a lot of advantage over the original HTC 1500Ma battery that came with my TP2, but they are an acceptable substitute.
One thing to keep in mind - I think they are heavier than the stock batteries. They are advertised as LiPoly, but I think they are LiIon.

It's under $10. Even if it's only as good as the stock battery it is well worth the money considering the stock one costs about $40. Even an OEM off eBay is as much as $16.

for an extended battery it not, i was looking for extended battery life without having to switch to another battery but this battery didnt do its job 2000mAh i don't think so its at least 1100-1300 i notice my battery died faster even on normal usage compared to the OEM. I honestly had enough of it :\... about to add some MM to my TP2 and get a bigger battery.

You are using the US T-Mobile version, from what I can see in the pix you posted; the only one available is the Mugen 3200, it runs about $79. I have not considered it because it really makes the back of the phone stick out. And it is expensive.
I buyed an used Touch pro 2. so i dunno how was the OEM battery when it was new. When i replaced with this 2000 mAh it nearly double up the battery life. From my site there is full satisfaction.

Aside from the poor English in your post, there's no way a 2000mAh battery is giving you double the battery life or even close to it. It is only 33% higher capacity than the stock battery.

Np, i full charge and completely drain the battery and still the same results
i just got a new momax 2700mah battery still fresh from the box and put it on my phone.. initial battery level shows 22% but then after a few moment it jumps to 62% and stop charging afterwards.. i check using battery monitor app and it shows i only got about 100ma of current even though im using an AC charger to charge..
what should i do now? im puzzled because i can't even know what is my current battery level??
Try to charge it for couple of hours

Hello,
You need to let him charged during few hours and after calibrate your battery stats with "Battery calibration".
Battery apps on the SGS2 only give a rough estimate of battery available at any given moment (a limitation of the hardware).
Non-stock batteries probably don't have the fuel gauge chip stock batteries have, so any reading you get whilst using one of these is probably going to be even less accurate than using a stock battery.
Obviously using non-stock/genuine batteries is a case of caveat emptor.

i see.. no wonder the batt percentage suddenly rides a rocket
it charges normally now but slightly slower than stock.. definitely
so any battery apps are rather useless when using an extended battery particulary on S2?
They're not useless, but there's no way to absolutely 100% accurately measure how much juice you've got left, even with stock batteries. The numbers reported by battery apps are normally 'close', but you can sometimes see all kinds of weird results like the ones you saw with that battery you just got.

ok, i get it.. but would it affect to the actual battery life?
i mean battery life should scales according to its battery capacity right? even though the phone thinks that it still running on stock battery..
No, it shouldn't have any bearing on the life of the battery.
Yes, at the end of the day you'll get the right 'capacity' regardless of any inaccuracy shown by a battery app at a given point in a charge cycle. For example, I have a 2000mAh Samsung battery, and my testing shows I do indeed get on average around 20% more juice out of it compared to the original 1600mAh one that came with the phone.
Tho non stock batteries are notorious for often not having a capacity the same as what they're advertised at. I bought a 3500mAh non-Samsung battery in December, tested it out for two weeks & found it was only roughly 1800mAH. It also used to get really hot (45°C) when charging so I took it back to the place I bought it from & got a refund then bought the Samsung 2000mAh.

Will check for improvements soon after 2-3 cycles..
Wait, what? So ur saying that the bigger the capacity the more inefficient it gets? How did you know the actual capacity of the battery ur using?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I didn't know the actual capacity for certain because I don't have the equipment to test that kind of thing, but my testing gave me around 10-15% more juice than the stock battery so I figured it was around 1800-1900.
Not exactly scientific, but after two weeks and a bunch of charge/discharge cycles, it was nowhere near the 3500mAh it was alleged to be, so I returned it. For me, I'd rather stick to a 2000mAh Samsung battery which was the same price as the genuine 2000mAh battery (~$40). I get fantastic battery life as it is, and 2000mAh is plenty for me. Plus I have the original 1600mAh which I store/keep charged @ 60/70% as a spare which I can charge to full quickly if I need it.

Im on my 4th day of using the 1900 one. it seems regular to me. ive been fully charging and draining it for a few days now. havent seen a great improvement. oh and props on the supser sayain rom playa. I got like 2 days of battery life with that. are you going to make the newer versions for the 351.3 leak? or does it not really matter.
Damn that sucks. Right now I'm just using the external battery pack when I can't plug in my phone.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Yeah same here. Not really a huge noticable difference. Then again a change in only about 200mah is not that much anyways. 1700 vs 1900mah
I have an Anker 1900 also. The life of the battery depends on how its conditioned. I also charge it in the phone and not with an external charger and I have noticed the battery life last longer.
I let the battery drain till the phone shuts off then charge it to 100%. I do that with my stock one as well. After a couple of days of doing that I reset my batt stats in recovery (4EXT of course) and continue the process over again.
--------------------------------
It's Better To Fail At Originality
Than To Succeed In Imitation.

i have an anker and chichitec. both are better than the oem one. given that the oem one crapped out, i'm not sure how accurate my observations are, though.
One of the first things I did was get an Anker battery and honestly I couldn't tell that much of a difference. Granted I only had the OEM battery for about a week, but it seems like it drains at about the same rate, it might last just the tiniest bit longer, but its not much of a difference.

My OEM is slightly better than either of my two Anker 1900 batteries.
I have not noticed any difference really. I have to charge me batt. every night after a days use. I keep an original batt charged and another anker. I switch them out. no ground breaking changes.
Hello everyone,
Just ran across this site. It looks very good and explains a lot about charging and overcharging Lithium-ion batteries. Hope you find it useful.

the difference between stock amaze batt and anker (i doubt it's full 1900mAh anyway) is about 170mAh. def. not groundbreaking lol
After conditioning my Anker batteries (0-100 charge/discharge 5 times as recommended) using the external charger. I found that on average my batteries lasted about 30% longer than stock. Also I was getting random reboots, the grey battery icon error, incorrect battery % reports with the stock battery. All of that has stopped when using the Anker battery. I have also found that charging with the external charger will allow the Anker to last longer than charging in the phone. The Anker battery seems to operate at a lower temperature also. Overall I have definitely seen a substantial increase in battery life over stock. Although obviously not ground breaking it is a worth while investment especially with it being relatively inexpensive.

I also conditioned mine, and they don't last as well as OEM, certainly not 30% better. Maybe your OEM was defective.

If you want to compare properly – you need to calibrate each battery and use it with its own calibration profile. The results will be quite approximate otherwise.
I asked about app to switch battery profiles – nobody answered yet…
Even if it exists, it’ll work for rooted phones only, most likely…

I should think that a battery would work so long as it was stronger than the profile being used (the % might not be accurate, but it would at least run), but you bring up a good point.

I get it, it was a long shot, but for ten dollars I figured I'd try. Like I'm sure everyone would assume, this battery does not last as long as stock. I know SOT varies by user, but with the stock LG battery, I consistently got 35 minutes SOT per 10% battery used. With the new battery, it was 26 minutes SOT per 10%battery used.
I followed the instructions of fully discharging until the phone shuts off and then charge to 100% 3 times and still no change.
It's not a bad backup, but it's also not performing like an extra 1000mAh should.
Thanks for your information. I want to buy that battery because 4000mAh but now i will search another alternative for bigger mAh.
Is there any danger in using a third party battery on the phone? I just bought a 3300ma one from NewEgg (hasn't arrived yet).
I'm curious, will larger mAh adversely affect longevity of phone hardware? I mean, is there any chance it could damage phone? For example, if I get 6000mAh battery?

I've used it for over a year and I only need to plug in every couple of days with heavy use. Makes the phone slightly bigger but only charging it every 3 or 4 days is so worth it.

Short answer is yes, I would never use a third party battery unless it was by a very well known company like Zerolemon or the like. Plus if you are buying a battery from ebay, amazon or the like and it is not from a well known company the chances are all your getting is a cheap battery with a higher number on it. Bit like my neighbour that has a Porsche 911 s with a turbo badge, just because it has a turbo badge doesn't mean it is one.
I have a really nice rc car charger and when I bought some high end batteries that were 4000mah they actually took a little more than that. I wish a had a few batteries to cycle thru to see what the capacity really was.

Here's a quick over view of my experience with this battery. So far I've been very impressed getting over 10 hours in SOT. It makes the phone about twice as thick at the bottom 2/3 but is actually quite nice to hold still and not too heavy. The actual capacity is massive I'm sure its the 6000mah they claim which is surprising considering how cheap it is relative to the other brands.
The back cover that comes with it does feel cheap and flimsy but I purchased the honeycomb case with the battery so that is not a big issue for me. My major concern with this battery is its voltage. On the battery it is printed that the Max charge voltage for the battery is 4.2V (the standard lithium ion Max voltage) but the lg g3 takes its battery up to 4.35 volts (due to modern phones using a slightly different li on chemistry). Constantly taking the battery to 4.35 volts when it is only designed for 4.2volts will significantly shorten its cycle life. For this reason I'm using an app called Battery charge limit to only charge my phone to 92% which is equivalent to around 4.2 volts.
Overall highly recommend it and the honeycomb case if you want to give your lg g3 a new lease on life and massive battery life without breaking the bank. Time will tell how long it'll hold up. Saw reviews saying after 6 months the battery swells up but hopefully by limiting how full it charged to that can be prevented.

Not only acts as awesome battery, but comes with a SUPER COMFY case (feels icky going back to the usual case, this is way more handfriendly)
It should work for D855 too;
I bought one from aliexpress which was stating 7500 mah but the SOT is still the same with original battery. I tried some apps to estimate the capacity which actually was ~3000 mah.
So I dont want to waste money again. Can you share some screenshots for your SOT? BTW the shape of the battery and back cover is the same as this one
Nah haven't got any screenshots sorry mate, my g3 died of the dreaded screen flickering and fading bug. Trying to sell my extended battery now actually. But anyway I guarantee its an extended battery was getting 6+ hrs sot when I was getting 3 before. You can also look at the Hyperion 6000mah battery pretty sure it's a clone of the mpj or the other way around. You can look for YouTube videos of people using the battery too btw. Cheers.
