Look back in the thread a bit. I posted some from Amazon that have auto-polarity detection. I bought 2 and can charge any of my different phone batteries...

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Sprint screwed me for too much off-network roaming data; there was no way for me to monitor/check this on the bill or online. :mad:

Now all my E4GT accessories, including the two new Trexcell batteries I bought are sitting with my E4GT on the desk...

I have two 1-month-old Trexcell 3800 mAh extended batteries with battery covers, and the nice fitting Trexcell extended battery TPU case (slightly modded button and USB port openings).

I'll let all 3 go of for $30 plus shipping if anyone is interested. I have gotten 27+ hours of use including 6+ hours of screen-on time with these on average... Just thought I'd offer here before I eBay 'em...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ttrain721:
I emailed them three different times within a month and never got a reply. Let me know if they respond to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MasterTentacles:
I ordered one of these and it should arrive today. Depending on the thickness, I may cut/hollow out a portion of my otterbox, see if I can't make this thing as well hidden as possible. If its too thick to do that though, I'll just end up carrying my phone naked. if it works, I'll post pics of the final result.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Attached are pics of my Trexcell extended batteries/doors and the case with modified openings.

collinsac24 has already expressed an interest and has first dibs...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
Yes I am interested. I suppose this is just for public record of the attempt of making the transaction
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Hi Chris, the price is $35 for the 2 used, pre-conditioned Trexcell 3800 mAh extended batteries with battery doors, and the used Trexcell TPU extended battery case, which includes basic shipping via USPS or UPS ground (at my discretion, based on cost).

PM me your email and contact info and I'll send you a PayPal link to get the ball rolling.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
Thanks just received packaged very nicely :) good job with the case haha...once your Ebay is ready pm me your store name please
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Glad you received everything ok. Hope you enjoy the crazy battery life!

Now if only Trexcell made similar batteries and accessories for my Skyrocket...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Skyrocket has a nice charging case
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Yes, most phones do... The problem with the charging (active) cases is that your battery stats don't report correctly, and your phone might not deep sleep properly if it thinks it's charging, causing unnecessary battery drain that may not initially be evident with the larger power resource.

At least that's what I read... What case are you referring to? PM me since Skyrocket stuff doesn't belong here ;)

I have had one of those trexcell batteries for a few months now, its still in good shape, and I love it! The only thing is I think the cover that comes with it looks very cheap, but some Plasti-Dip fixed that up, I think it looks much nicer now. Pics coming soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
Yes please, that's the only problem I have as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
My original trex battery, which was from around December, started acting weird last night. If you plug in the phone to usb or a charger, anfter a minute it will beep and display battery disconnected. Does the same with phone charging but turned off. I tried different roms but that didn't work. I have a stand alone samsung oem charger that I normally use, and that seems to work. Has this happened to anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrej201:
i think u mt miss that the phone or battery are too hot and wont charge let it cool down a bit
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
This happens when the power source isn't providing enough power to charge your battery, this just happened to me with an external battery but on the oem battery, so It's not your battery it's the different chargers you are you using(especially the usb to I'm assuming pc?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
I just ordered this hope it works out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
Mine are still working great don't worry :)

Fyi, the Mugen battery door works with rhe trexell battery.

Now i gotta find a case...

It's a great Rom, only tw Rom I've ever loved. And so far greatly taken care of as far as fixes and requests.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] miketucky350:
I bought this battery. Trexcell $16.99 off amazon. Its freaking amazing!! Im running stock rooted ga10 jelly bean. This runs circles around stock battery. It last all day and more. Its big but makes phone easier to hold.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robert93436:
same here just bought this battery i get it monday two questions about it, should i get another charger for it? and how many times should i condition it to notice the preformance?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
You don't need to get another charger your original should work fine but bigger capacity=slightly longer charge times, I've got two of these batteries so I bought a battery charger that I leave one battery in and just switch them out whenever needed that way my phone is never plugged up. As for conditioning I'm not sure, it comes with instructions on how and what to do but mine were "slightly used" since I purchased from a fellow XDA member
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
Here is what I did to condition the battery. I charged the extended battery to 100% and used a battery calibration app to tell the phone that my charge is 100%. I then let the phone discharge completely until the phone shut itself down then recharged back to 100%. That's it~! Now I'm getting 6 hours screen time on GA10!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robert93436:
damn thats pretty good there, thats why i bought the battery, i'll give my review after i recieve my battery and do a couple of discharges and full charges
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robert93436:
heres what i got after the first week of use
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kreemerz:
Mine wasn't shiny at all. In fact I like the flat rubbery finish on the case - makes it A LOT easier to hold/grip. The battery though does not seem to be much different than the stock one. I paid $10 for it. It's Trexell but I'm not content with it. I've heard people say that they need to condition it,. I've already let it run down to 0% until it shut off. Recharged it fully. Still haven't seen a difference.

What battery app are people referring to???? Because the stock one doesn't seem to work well....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rmc053:
? on how you cut out the back of the otter box?

What tools did you use to cut out the back of the otter box case. I have the same phone and case and am waiting for my Trexcell battery to come in.

I am going to cut out the back of my case to and don't want to mess it up as they are not cheap.

Thx!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rtwrobert10:
I ordered this battery and I hope to get WAY better results with battery usage. Currently running Blue Kuban 2.0.0.5 GB27 - I'm already getting around 12-14 hours easy so I hope to get over 24 hours with the same usage, different battery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
what setup are you using on your homescreen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I have this battery, have for about 6 months now. At first it was great, a little over 2 days battery life with almost 18 hours screen time. Now, I get about 12 hours on a full charge, and once it drops below 40% it drains about 6% an hour. The short life of the battery is rather disappointing, but for the price it has been ok. I will be going with a QCELL for my next one though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
QCell is amazing quality, that's for sure. Check out the latest posts in the QCell thread. A member from here on xda posted how his QCell is performing a year after purchase. You'll be pretty impressed cause I sure was, seeing how well it held up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I haven't got the qcell yet, my usage has never varied. I have always been a heavy user, flashing at least a couple times a day, and I would get ~2 d 12 hrs total with about 18 hrs screen time before I hit 10%. May be a bit excessive for most, but the fact still stands it didn't hold up for long.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I am taking that into consideration. I would definitely like to see the stats if the Qcell. For 15 bucks it came with a charger, so I work it for what's it worth. Do you know if the Qcell is slim or extended.

I bought my qcell on eBay. Only one that was for sale though lol. Got the 4100. All ran with auto sync on and brightness at 100.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Great stats. I have no choice but to get a Qcell now. My Trexcell is acting crazy. I dropped 20 percent for no reason, and then it started draining the battery. I only got 9 hrs out of it with very little sceen time. Back on the "other" extended. I would like to find a slim one.

I just noticed your sig. Thanks for serving.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
In the qcell thread there's tons of screenshots of people with various usage and a update of someone who's had it for a year. His battery still holds an excellent charge to this day. Just follow the instructions qcell provides to the letter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I have to recant on the Qcell. It is hard to get. The extended battery I got from eBay has really performed better than I expected. I bought another one and on the first charge I am past 18hrs with 59% left. I have love 3 hrs of screen time and have been on WiFi for a couple of hrs. Once I got through my cycles, I think it will be better than the first battery. I am using Project X 3.3, DS battery saver pro on custom, Greenify latest update. I will post pics of the 1st cycle when finished.

X'd out the game
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
I have 4 of those eBay generics after a month or two it won't hold more of a charge than your stock battery. I got the last 4100qcell on eBay lol. They're still a few on Amazon though with white battery covers. I'll trade you my black one if anything lol.

you have the link to the seidio case? i would like to purchase and extended battery but can't find any cases/holster combo .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ac3bot:
I think when he says "Seidio Case" he means the battery back that came with his $70 3200MAH Seidio battery. Havent seen a case for an extended battery E4GT yet... although Seidio does have a clip holster deal that holds the phone from it's face.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
I don't know, that thing looks huge. Might need a case with a titanium reinforced kick stand.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blastboi:
Would a universal wallet case work? I saw one a few days a go it had a elastic band/ pocket to put a phone in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ac3bot:
Got my 3800mah battery yesterday... lasted me 1/2 a day on the 40% charge that came with it. Charged it up all the way overnight last night, I'm at 86% after being off the charger for 4 hours with moderate use... wifi on, screen on ~1/2 the time. Apparently this battery needs to cycle a few times to break in. If you purchased it, follow the instructions that come with it for maximum performance.

Also, for a case solution, I cut a hole in the back of one of these guys for the battery. I know, it's not the cheapest soft/rubber skin on the market, but not all of them are created equal!! I've gotten some awful rubberized cases that just dont fit very well at all... the case from the link above fits very nicely!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ranchosteve:
Any pics of of thickness?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nealwheels:
Got the $10 Ebay 3800 yesterday. Charged all night and been running it about 12 hours medium/heavy usage with GPS on. I'm at 60%.

I kind of like the hump on the back. Makes it easier to hold with one hand, and Swype.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TalynOne:
Jut got the Trexecell but because of the location of the battery contact and the location of the battery contact on my charger/dock I can't use my dock to charge the battery in the spare slot, :(. Can someone suggest a spare battery charger that would work with this thing?

Doesn't make it too heavy either. Actually, its pretty well balanced too.

Fits fine in my wallet holster.

Let me know if anyone licks or on finding a compatible case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nealwheels:
Dang Swype!

Meant to type "lucks out"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pgreeny69:
I bought the $10 cheap one on ebay and after a couple of days of use its getting better and better. Currently 62% after 1day 2hrs with light to moderate usage and not charging overnight. Really IMO not as bulky as pictures look. Kinda like it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] will900:
I Agree it's getting better and better as I go. I didn't want to get it at first because of it being bulky but now that I was have it feels a little better in my hand for some reason, the only thing I really don't like the case it came with
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nealwheels:
I have charged it a couple of cycles now. It keeps getting better and better.

I took it off the charger this morning at 8am and at 8:30pm tonight it was at 70%.

Pretty dang good......

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I really hate how shiny the battery door is, but I went ahead and ordered one anyway. I don't understand why they couldn't just look at the original battery door, and make something close to the same. The shiny plastic just looks cheap.

Oh well, as someone said earlier, function > form.

Anyone know if I have a bad battery ($10 battery)I got 7 hours and at 36% left... I'm run my my phone at 800mhz and haven't used it much at all. I just got it today I saw something about training your battery but also heard it wasn't needed in new batteries something about new batteries don't have memory or something

in for the $10 battery. even though i have an extra oem battery, this will come in handy for the days i tether or when im away from an outlet for long period of time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
Got one for $10, and it was pretty much crap. Didn't even last as long as stock.

Did a charge cycle on it 3 times. Ended up tearing it apart, it appears to be 2 1500mah Galaxy S batteries wired together.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I went ahead and got the Trexcell battery from Amazon, instead of this $10 generic battery from ebay. I never trust ebay for batteries...as they usually end up just like that, a couple of batteries wired together.

Sure, the Trexcell cost a little more, but it's got great reviews...still not bad for $30 overall with 2 day shipping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] L A Z I Z A:
That's very interesting. Can you please post photos?? I'd appreciate it. Also was it literally 2 1500mAh Galaxy S batteries wired together or did it just appear that way?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kalanyon:
Has anyone found a wall charger for this battery yet. I noticed most have the pins backwards. So the

bulge prevents the batt from connecting the pins.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I paid $32 for a better quality cell (and 3920mah)

the door for the battery is CHINSY looking but the fit and finish once installed is perfect.

it does at a lot of girth but that actually makes the phone easier to hold.

with Calkins rom I don't think I "NEED" the extended batt day to day but it will come in handy on long trips.

Here are some pictures

I REALLY like the MUGEN "battery cover"

290646396730

no hump it makes the "whole phone" thicker I think that would look and feel a lot better.

but I can't find "just" the cover sans battery. not paying $90 to get the cover :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LegionCmndr:
:confused:

agreed, i would like the mugen power battery cover, and the trexcell battery with prolly a tpu type of case with maybe the back cut out or if somebody would make one to fit the mugen extended battery back....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
I'm also getting about stock battery life on the Ebay $10 version...pretty crappy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] awesomedeals88:
I bought this battery from eBay for $20
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
After using the Trexcell for a while, I'm getting pretty good battery life. Once I got rid of the Android OS bug on CM7, I'm getting between 28 and 30 hours from 100% to 0%, which is more than enough for my everyday use.

I'd definitely recommend it. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
It just looks that way. I've yet to dissasemble a Sammy bat, so I can't be 100% sure.

I thew it out, but I'll describe it best I can:

Take the Trexcell sticker off, and there is the rounded plastic around what looks like a metal battery cell. Take the plastic off, and there is a flat wire running from the back of the 2 cells (which are taped together) to a tiny PCB on the front. When the 2 cells are split, they are the exact size of the 1500mah Galaxy S batteries (which are thinner and ever so slightly longer than ours).

Only good thing that came out of the battery: The sticker. Slapped that on my stock battery backwards. Now with the back off, the inside of my phone is completely black, minus the SD slot (looking for something to cover it too).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ayman86:
i, too, am getting about the same battery life as a stock battery, bummer. at least its still worth something. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Well after a day of semi-heavy use I managed to get it down to %50 over 14.5 hours. I can see this easily getting 30 hours on a charge. Well worth the $20.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Definitely buying then thanks for the reviews
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigtrail:
It isn't good. I got it also and had returned bwcause it does not work as a 3800mah.. Its more like a 2500. Better way got a original 1800mah and I have a slim phone with over 20 hours of battery life. Using 3g, GPS and internet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I'm going to go to homo depot sometime soon to see what I can come up with to make the glossy plastic back easier to hold without the worry of it slipping out of a hand or pocket. It has already slipped out of a pocket in a hooded sweat jacket (onto a pile of clothes laying on the floor thank god). I've thought about grip tape, rubber tape, sandpaper to the battery cover, idk. The slipperiness of the sides of the phone doesn't help either. I almost sliced my finger twice while trying to hack up a case so it would fit, but it turned out looking like **** so I didn't use it. The battery cover that confess with the battery the OP is talking about matches the glossy Finnish of the rest of the phone. One thing I am very happy with is the seeming better build quality of the plastic and how well it fits and snaps into place when compared to the ****ty quality of seidio battery doors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] midwboss:
Did you follow the proper conditioning procedure? And they dont make a 2500 for it so how is that a fair comparison? The battery does not take away much of the slimness at all IMHO. Battery life has been beastly for me and this is just day one after the full charge. I also reset the battery stats. I took a dremel to my stock case shield combo Item # CHS7171R from sprint and made a cut out for the hump of the battery. It doesnt look to bad either ill post a picture for the heck of it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nealwheels:
Go to home depot, and by tool dip. It is a rubberized liquid used for dipping tool handles in and works great. All you need to do is lightly sand the painted finish on the battery cover, tape off anything you don't want covered by the dip, and then apply.

It's cheap too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I did the same thing with my TPU case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] midwboss:
I looked into this and they also make it in a spray can. I bought some and the second coat is drying as I type. When you said dip I kinda had a thick coating in my head. But the spray goes on very nicely. It looks like an original finish. Will post a pic when dry .
