The OEM battery gives me 12-14 hours on a high use day and 16-18 on a moderate day.

The Mugen is fairly new and I do not use it all the time. After I charged it full 5 cycles it lasted me 36 hours on moderate use (weekend) and still had 30% left. I think 24 to 30 hours of high usage is possible.

One night I was streaming netflix on wifi trying to discharge the battery and the battery outlasted me lol! I gave up at 12:30 am and went to bed.

If a long last battery is what you want, this is a good choice!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
If they dropped the price down a bit and made a quality case for this, then I would buy it immediately
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tubgirl:
I would settle for a cheap s-line TPU case. But since there are now zero protection I will not buy this. I want to get it but I want to protect my Note even more.

I'll buy the Mugen battery for the Note if i can get better results than what i'm getting with my new chinese-cheap-5000mA-bat from ebay.

Attached is an example of what i'm getting , with moderate use , no gps , no BT, all the time in 3G ..... and i 've charged it only 2 times. Not bad if you ask me !

The screenshot was taken when the batt. was nearly 0% , but after it reached 0% ( after the screenshot) i was able to watch a movie streamed over wi-fi for 52 minutes !!! then the phone shoot off ... at last .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
Lol! A funny thing in your picture is how the battery jumps up multiple times. You can see drops and then it goes back up! What were you doing there?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Miciobigio:
Yes i noticed that too , i think that inside are 2 batts of 2500mhA in parallel so after a high drain the second batt recharge (just a little) the first batt. ? ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jojorios:
Has anyone been able to successfully use a bumper case with this battery? I'm really close to ordering one of these but i definitely would want a small lip at least to protect the screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] leppo:
I've got a bumper case on the way, but am holding out for a proper review of the mugen before ordering.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] clairenix:
What are the accessories available to coincide with this?

I assume the case would also be hollow on the inside. How strong is the new back case?

also, can someone post a side view comparison of with and without the battery cases?

A leather case to protect the screen while in bag/pocket would be nice too. Would it fit with atleast some leather cases?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] trea916:
Just get a custom from and keep the stock battery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lightfire:
Just received my Mugen battery for the Note.

When first time charging, my battery app monitoring alarm went off with 120 F temp. I unplugged it for a bit then re-charged and it never went up again. Has this high temp when charging occurred with anyone else who has this battery?

The back cover is leaps better than the Samsung original cover and I used the built-in stand. No history yet with life although just using it to watch half a netflix movie last night, also checking email and one short run with GPS running app, I used 8% of the battery. This morning at 90%.

My battery use jumped sky high when I rooted and changed to LA4 from KKA, so I am not sure these fiques are representative of actual battery life of the Mugen.

It certainly makes the device heavier but that does not bother me; actually makes it easier to use 2-handed in landscape.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] N1NJATH3ORY:
can you please post some photos with the mugen battery on ?? is it chunky how big does the note look ?? Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Phytrax:
I got a bumper case to try with my Chinese battery and it wouldn't quite fit after fighting with it for over 30 min. I can't imagine having this phone without at least a little protection. I just use a S-Line case but it has saved me several times.

PLEASE NOTE THE BULK ON THESE BATTERIES IS CRAZY!!

I have used several other phones with extended batteries and have laughed at people that complain about the thickness. But with the Note, the phone is so big already I just can't live with this huge battery. It seems make the phone 3x the original thickness. Probably less but that's how it feels. Imagine holding a VCR tape in your hand. That's what this feels like. I'd estimate the Chinese battery at 4000 mah, but I guess I'll just have to deal with charging an extra time during the day.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] clairenix:
I've always wondered why the manufacturers never make an extended battery when it's obviously in-demand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] BrainSex:
I really can't understand your gripe about the thickness of your device after using a pimped chinese battery, dude. What do you think where the extrapower should come from? Maybe you take a look in an old physics book ;-)

Just my two cents worth...

[sb]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] joshnichols189:
The battery usage isn't representative of your actual battery level it is more of an estimate based on what you are doing. If you do something like play a game for a long time then stop all of the sudden it readjusts and the battery level "increases"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lightfire:
? Anyone else?

EDIT:

BAttery life, moderate use, on 31 hrs moderate use and am at 42%; included gps, wifi, bluetooth on most but not all of the time. Also getting very high battery temperature after 10 minutes with Omos HD - not sure yet if it is this battery or just the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
I never monitored the phone when I charged my Mugen Battery. I do not use it all the time. It is a beast and workhorse battery, that is for sure! I never noticed the battery or phone get hot while in use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lorekarf:
just received my mugen ^^ im testing it but no overheat so far

ill revert with some accurate details
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tubgirl:
I wonder if this bumper case would fit with the Mugen installed?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
I also don't understand why these batteries could not be better designed to add less bulk. They basically just take the dimension of the original battery and protrude it further out the back when there is a lot of room to spread it out once they are past the frame...or even just integrate the battery into the backplate like they used to do with older phones.

The way these extended batteries are designed with the custom made back cover to smooth everything back out, there is an awful lot of wasted space.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Phytrax:
This is very true. Look at what Motorola just did with the Razor Maxx. They squeezed a 3300mah battery into a quite thin phone that is smaller than the Note. Imagine what they could do in the Note, especially if they added just 1 or 2mm. The Razor Maxx battery is not replaceable mind you, but still!

"Dude", can you really not comprehend one whole paragraph at one time? I guess you are just reading the big pretty letters. I clearly stated that I have had thick batteries before that were not an issue and that I fully expected the phone to be thicker. My point is that it adds more bulk then you would expect due to the already large size of the phone. Also I really wasn't griping so much as just warning people to strongly consider this before buying a $100 battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lightfire:
Not too impressed with Mugen right now.

In spite of me sending full details asking for a replacement due to overheating, they keep asking me actually quite dumb questions; they should have already sent out a replacement. I do think (hope?) in time they will, but to make your customer jump through hoops and not tending to this issue right away is the pits - on a $100 item - poor customer service. And no doubt I will have to pay for shipping back to the company and wait a long time before getting a replacement. Sheesh.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
Bummer. Seidio has a 4800 mAh battery under development for the GNote on their website.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tubgirl:
Thanks for the info... good to know.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
I have always thought L shaped batteries could at a tremendous amount of space with not nearly as much bulk.

I have to believe that it's just totally impractical to make an oddly shaped battery. Batteries are what, 99.999% cylindrical or rectangular?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xeq544:
makes me wonder if actually putting together two genuine 2500 mah batteries wouldnt be cheaper and yield better results... From theoretical point of view there should be no problem just connecting +to+ and -to-... bam same voltage double capacity. And physics tells us that those batteries would also discharge simultaneously as the two batteries would balance each other... I had this idea long time ago with my s2 but didnt get around to try it. And also we would need a spare ext battery cover (mugen would fit as the battery is exactly 2x the size of the original.

Just my DIY spirit kicking in... dont kill me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] itsjusttim:
Why not use 3? The mugen case has soo much wasted room, just adjust the batteries accordingly.

So would this actually work without blowing up our Note? I want to try but don't want to damage anything.

Edit: after looking over the pics its pretty clear (3) wouldn't fit. Its a real shame they don't make L shaped to fill it and be efficient.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xeq544:
I am pretty sure it wont damage anything, just use some good copper plate to connect the two contacts (not the middle one) and it will work from theoretical point of view. Because the voltage will be the same and thats all that matters. The only change would be charging speed, which would be at least 50 percent longer and max mA output, that is still not a problem because the phone only takes as much current as it needs... This just needs to be tested, Im willing to do it but I dont have spare 50 euros to try it (student yay!) Though I have already ordered cheap chinese extended battery just for the cover to measure exactly if two sammy batteries can fit. And then I can proceed if I find spare money. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] PoisonWolf:
Good luck! Hopefully no melting of phones is included in this process. I don't know how the charging would work though and how the battery's own IC would work or whether the Android OS can properly report on the battery, etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
So far so good with my mugen battery, no overheating issues whatsoever. On a first charge, and without enough time for battery stats to adjust I'm sitting at 3hours 15minutes screen on time with 10 hours standby and at 51%. With a few more charges and when battery stats sort themselves out should do very nicely on this battery. Love the kickstand!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
Questions for everyone that has this battery. You guys think it's worth it? I use my note all day. Charging it multiple times is getting tiresome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ckang008:
you can get this QCell Extended 4150 mah battery for quarter of the price. can even get two and that's around 8300mah!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] porcupineli:
This 4500mAh battery is awesome and the cover is super. I found these hi-res photos on their facebook! Photos
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] droidsmith:
ordered wrong one!

Would anyone be able to tell me why this won't work in the Roger version of the note?

Just realized I bought the GT-N7000 version. :'(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
My review here: http://www.androidnz.net/2012/02/review-mugen-extended-battery-for.html

Bottom line: it's good, I'd recommend it (not yet tried the Seidio one that is cheaper).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] drearg:
I'm getting a gnote this weekend and was wondering if the 4500mah will work on the at&t version? On there site, they only show a 2650mah battery for it.

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/at-t/at-t-samsung-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-usa.html

Has anyone tried the other battery and extended door on at&t version?

Or, are they all the same?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spiritcrusher33:
no this wont work on the att note. the tabs on the door are diff size. ( i think wider ) u could in theory shave them down for the door to work, as i think a member in the att section did just that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] droidsmith:
cool, hope i can get it to work!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] drearg:
Thanks for info, I was wondering if it was something else. Don't know if it worth the trouble. Will probably wait and try seidio battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Smoothface:
I am not sure, but because the at&t note has nfc it needs a different battery. With the s2 the at&t version needed a special nfc battery or else it would not charge and would boot loop if it was plugged in to charge. You could use it but would need to charge it with a battery charger outside the phone.

Of course this could be different than the s2, but is very possible a similar problem exists.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] illmatic75:
Jut ordered mine, lets hope it lives up to the hype :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] droidsmith:
i have the galaxy note from roger's, and am now using this battery.

all i had to do was trim the tabs on the provided back cover that are closest to the power button by about an eighth of an inch.

FYI: from what i can, tell the mugen back doesn't have NFC!

Any Original size battery more performant than the samsung one ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ubermetroid:
I got that too - from ebay, Works great. The back is a little loose, but I got the metal armor that goes around the note. That takes care of it.

I got 1 day 15 hours out of the last charge. :D

Hi guys, I've just picked up a 3250 mAh battery. will post review tonight and see how itholds up after first day use

Sent from a noob on a new note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Sobakel:
Never has problems with a battery from this site on my galaxy s2.

A tip tho: Pay more, but get a decent brand instead of cheap chinese stuff. High risk of messing up your phone. Dont know what it does, but I had to send my phone back to samsung after using a chinese battery for 2 weeks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] illmatic75:
ok, just n update...received mine in exactly 2 weeks, on charge for tonight and then ill be putting the battery through its pace :)

i plan to use pre and post mugen stats for comparision also.

according to Mugen facebook the upgraded 5400mAh version for GT-N7000 Galaxy Note will be available for purchase from 20th of april.

Meanwhile a review of 4500mAh version in Pictures, because apparently the sizing will remain the same:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] illmatic75:
Ok, I’ve now used this battery for the last one week.

first impressions, not too impressed....I thought it was going to give me at least a good full day with moderate use...and yes I’ve charged it for 12 hours at least 4 times now and the rest of the time at least 7-8 hours.

Now when I say moderate I mean,

1. Maximum of 15mins-20mins of facebook - collectively

2. Checking email- two accounts- no push notifications, just every now and then

3. Whatssapp msging - primary messaging source i.e. on average around 40-50 msgs

4. between 15-30 mins of gaming, nothing fancy just scrabble or something similar

5. Not much of a talker so maybe 5-10 calls in the whole day

I’d say average time the screen in on is 4-5 hours in total.

Now is me or is that pretty rubbish for a battery which has good 2000maH on the original stock battery.

Any suggestions guys??

(I can post screen captures to back this up btw)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] iStep83:
I also expected more of the battery. It lasts me about 1.5 days maximum.

I am running a customized ROM (stunner 5.0) so maybe some reason is that it drains the battery more, am still investigating

Poor reception after using the back door from Mugen Power Batteries

Comments of Mugen Power Battery from Facebook user Moe Ali

I just ordered and received the back door and it still gives the phone horrible reception. And it looks like the old one I had. So how will I get good signals? And I ordered from mugen

Repy from MP:

Hi Moe! Have you ordered a battery for Sensation? We have improved the backdoor and solved the issue with the reception.

Moe Ali:

I've already done that. And I've been sent a door from the exact same website u posted and the door still has horrible reception. It looks exactly like the other door I have.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] illmatic75:
just an update to the above post, currently battery doing arround 19hrs with my use.....is that the average for others using teh same battery ordo i need to contact mugen for a replacement??

any suggestions guys/gals?

Doesn't it look heavy ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] leoni1980:
I love that us Note/Android users get so much choice but for me these big batteries are a bit daft. I can get an official battery off Amazon with a charging block for a lot less. Surely that is a better option? I appreciate that I would then have to swap a battery out but I think the inconvenience of having to squeeze an embarrassingly humongous bulkmonster into my pocket over-rides the inconvenience of a battery swap-out....just my opinion though. I've heard you can get 2x Anker batteries and a charging block in the US for $14.99 which seems like a better idea. Suppose you don't get the kick stand though :-/

My current setup is to have two charged external battery packs for 'emergencies'. As soon as we get the Anker sets on Amazon UK though I'll be picking them up as they were stellar performers with my Galaxy S2

One plus point with the Note is that it charges MUCH faster than the S2, despite the bigger battery. If all phones charged as fast as an iPhone though the need for these battery packs would be lessened, as a 20 minutes top up would see you with another 3 hours of use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jojorios:
Well looks like my Mugen died. Woke up this morning to my phone shut off showing an empty battery with an exclamation point. My old battery works so just sent a message to Mugen to see what I can do about a replacement. I have the old 4500mAH. Hopefully this wont be to painless and maybe I'll get the higher rated battery. I received the battery at the beginning of March.

Is the Mugen one compatible with international Note or US version only?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sg1969:
Hi,

I have been using my Galaxy Nexus for a couple weeks now without problems, but today I was havinbg porblems with signal being lost. I switched it to airplane mode, then switched it back to normal, but it would not switch back. This happened once before, and was fixed by rebooting.

however this time after rebooting, my homescreen and fonts are messed up. The widgets and icons/folders on the homescreen either have garbled fonts, or the text is missing entirely. Same thing for the icons in the app drawer.

The text within apps, such as SMS, browser, contacts, etc, are all fine.

I have rebooted a couple of times but it hasn't made a difference.

Also a file download from gmail seems to be stuck, it's still trying to download after 2 reboots, but there has been no progress...

I know I'm throwing in a few different issues at the same time, but maybe they're related, maybe they're not...

Is there anything else I can try?

My phone is running stock 4.0.1, it was purchased in UK and on O2 network. It is not unlocked or rooted in any way, and I have not recently installed any apps that might cause such problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sphinxy:
Only thing I can think of referring to you to try is a "Factory Restore".

Mind you, that means it wipes everything, apps, SMS, etc (not gmail/calendar stuff tho).

Other than that, I haven't heard or have read about this problem occurring - so apart from that, I dont know what else I can suggest you try - sorry!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sg1969:
Thanks. That's what I feared...

I was going to try to unlock bootloader to root, so was gonna wipe my device anyway, but I wanted to wait until after the holidays season in case something goes wrong...

I will probably take it into the O2 store this afternoon to see if they have any idea

I wish I hadn't spent so much time configuring my widgets :P Gonna have to do it all over again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sphinxy:
Thats where all the fun lies :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jykae:
Dude, don't wipe it yet!

I had the same issue after my phone died while charging and I had to pull the battery. Fonts where distorted and further reboots didn't help.. BUT:

I changed the font size from small to normal, which immediately fixed the widgets. App drawer was still messed up, but after a reboot it was fixed as well. After that, switching back to small fonts works as well!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ray2jerry:
I just started having the same issue too... and since I was setting it up I'm not sure which of the 92 apps I installed may be affecting it lol.

I can say that changing the font size only temporarily fixes the issue, and then the fonts get garbled/go black/go completely missing again.

Perhaps a font reinstall would work, and if so could someone make it into a flashable zip or provide instructions on how one would do that?

Thanks
