I will start doing my testing today with all the batteries (including the 3250mAh) to answer all questions, but i'm still looking for a demo/showcase/benchmark 3d game to drain battery as fast as possible. I've tried NeoCore but it drained too little (2% in 10 minutes). All the other benchmarks i've tried don't have a loop/demo mode... and i definatelly need that.

Maybe somebody has the apk for Unreal Epic Citadel (the one that's on iOS devices for at least an year now)... Any suggestion is welcomed!

P.S. I don't want to use apps like Battery Offender, that might ruin the vibration motor or the flash led...

Looped movie on MX Player with SW codec used should give ca. 600-700 mA (4 hours to discharge). Probly faster with streaming from network.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] paris.gr:
Let me just add that the higher the battery consumption from an application then the lower the differences between the batteries will be. So the best solution would be to try both a low and a high consumption test.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] p107r0:
Wholly agree. Besides, due to instability of battery consumption (occasional peaks), longer tests should provide more comparable results on the average
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dch77:
Great! Let me explain the stress test I did myself. You shall drain the battery in a bit more than 3 hours:

- Put all to full: brigthness, wifi, gps, bluetooth, sync, SetCPU to performance 1.4Ghz

- Have your battery at 100% obviously

- Use the game Riptide GP because it is easy to run the game in loop. Just start a new game and let the jetski run in round by putting your GNote in portrait.

- Of course, take note of start time and end time

- at 15%, the GNote will tell you have low battery, just click OK.

- at 5% or so, the screen gets automatically dimmer, nothing you can do

- You can stop when reaching 1%; no need to have the phone turning off

Hope it helps.

I always take third-party high battery ratings with a pinch of salt. I bought a few thick 3,500mAh ones for my SGS2 and ran it through my battery analyzer. It measured out between 2,000 to 2,100mAh - the same as the genuine slim 'extended' Samsung battery, just twice the thickness. Quite disappointing.

I won't be surprised if this 3,250mAh one is actually just 2,500mAh or less.

Which Battery Saver App really works & helps save Battery on Note

Please
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] p107r0:
According to common wisdom, definitely not any of taskkillers.

What you could try instead:

1. Reduce screen brightness (main power consumer)

2. No miracles, but check the steps here

3. Not sure if it really helps, but it is possible to reduce the wifi signal power, reducing the battery usage - check here

Any Singapore user that wanted this battery can PM me.

I contacted the seller previously that wrong item had been sent to me and he promised to resent the item. And for some reason, he sent this same battery to me twice on the same date. Thus i had 2 of this battery and willing to let go one at a price. :p

I don't see why someone would buy a phone like the note and then barely use it, I use it for nearly all the features which I bought it for so it wont last a full day in my general use.

If you want awesome battery life get a basic cheap dumb phone and it will handle that type of usage with a weeks battery life. Or better still buy a note and turn it off and the battery should still have some charge in 6 months lol.

Theses cheap fake batteries are complete rubbish, they are fake because they lie about the capacity when most likely they will be below the stock battery. If not when brand new but after a month or so of normal usage where these cheap crap batteries will reduce capacity much faster then the OEM ones will.

Can you share the name of the app used to test and display the results for this battery as shown in the original posts from numbnutsuk

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] p107r0:
if the question was directed to me (not sure), than having no professional device to measure battery capacity (on Note only estimates are available), I did twice in 2 weeks interval looped movie run to 0%, at minimal brightness, in plane mode, so as to achieve possibly longest run time in similar conditions.

Results in both cases were very similar details in posts #348 and #416

I just got this yesterday

3000MAH BATTERY BACKUP CASE FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE

hoping it will give me more Juice

I had to pay $35 in India :cool:

NOT WORTH DONT BUY ONLY GIVES 40% more Juice
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] MonkY:
Some "complain" about getting the same juice as the stock one (although it's still cheaper). I might be lucky though... in my tests it's at least 20% better. I don't know though if the performance will not decrease faster than the stock one. I've been using it for about a month now without any issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
Mine is working fine too, a regular battery is fairly low around 9 pm but the Gold will keep on until midnight.

Proper way to check a battery

The better way to check battery capacity is to use specialized device like MH-C777PLUS to measure real battery capacity

I recently bought 2900mA battery on eBay, and it does have more juice in it. Here are my measurements so far using MH-C777PLUS:

Stock (2500mA) battery capacity when measured on MH-C777PLUS device: approx. 2400mA

The 2900mA battery: approx 2700mA. So while it's a little further from the claimed capacity compared to the stock battery it does have 12.5% more energy than the stock battery.

I also ordered 3000mA Gold battery from eBay but didn't receive it yet. Will post test results as soon as I get it.

I was trying to post links to the MH-C777PLUS and both batteries but forum rules won't let me post links yet :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sentlon:

do u mind to show us where to bought all the batteries ?

Today i had a parcel, 2x 3250mah gold batteries i havent even ordered lol. now i have 3 yipee. :D Have no idea who sent them

Charging cases are a waste of time, bulky and you loose a good 30%+ juice in charging by heat and resistance ect. easier to just carry another batt.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] G0bl1n:
3000mAh should give only 20% more juice than the stock battery, and it's hard to notice unless you use two phones side by side with different batteries, running the same test on both.

I received mine 3000mAh Gold battery, charging now and will run a full discharge, measuring the capacity. Will post results ASAP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] hp79:
That was like 2-3 months ago when they had a special sale on Amazon.com. I think they were getting the new 2700 mah ready and that's why they were having the sale. I'm still very satisfied with their batteries and would recommend these instead of 3250 mah Gold Battery that people are talking about. (I have no experience with that one.)

Hi i actualy got one and measured it it has 2100 mah:(

Gold battery ecell

ok here im...

i also just bought a gold battery from ebay...

it says "3000 Mah"...with the same stock size...

so i tried it and run "battery monitor widget" to see

the true mAh...turn out it was a fake...it just got 2500 mAh

same as the stock...im not really disappointed with it

because it actually have a good longer lifetime compare to the stock one

but what i do is :

1. charge the phone 12 hours for the 1st charge

2. charge 6 hours for the next charge

3. i change the kernel also

4. so now my battery lasts about one days

thats all from me...i will post screen when i got it...:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ilordvader:
Can you please give me a idea

how much more juice it gives

like more than 50% or more ?

cos it $99 & want to know before i buy :)

less than 50 there were measurments it is only 4100mah real.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] FlamingGoat:
I just got a 3250 one from Amazon. It was already at 50% so I charged it up to full. I then went out on a hike where I had the GPS on. It gradually went down to 5%	where the screen flickered and went black, and that's it!

It won't charge at all now, seems totally dead as the screen remains black when I plug it in. Left it in overnight and there isn't a squeak so not impressed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] mug2k:
Did you get the 3250mAh battery yet ?, if so how did it stack up against the others you've purchased ?.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spfraggle:
I have the 5400mah battery and it lasts significantly longer. On stock I get maybe half a day or so as I'm a heavy user. On the Mugen I can get through the whole day, sometimes almost 2 days but remember it's also down to how you use it. With the larger battery I find I'm using it more often as I'm not as paranoid about the battery going dead and not being able to charge it till I get home.

Thanks for all the Help from you

I still have few Qs

You said "it lasts significantly longer"

Cos there is a big difference in Price in the 2 links I gave you

wondering why you choose Mugen ?

cos it 4 times the price
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spfraggle:
Mugen is a quality product. They are proven batteries in that when you get one you know it'll work, last as long as it claims and won't harm your device. I've used them in the past and I can't fault them or their customer service. I had originally bought the 4500mah battery but a month after getting it they released the 5400mah battery for the same price and they were fine in doing an exchange for the new product. Certainly can't fault them on customer service or product quality.

it only has 2700mAh

Don't order 3250mAh, it only has ~2700mAh. I measured the capacity using this device:

http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1645?page=2

and it only has 2700mAh. I tried 4 types of batteries, the real highest capacity I found (real 3000mAh) is this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/260995972702?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

That's the one I'm using...

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

Yes, I did buy 3250 mAh, but it's a waste of money. I used it for a week and then measured the capacity by doing full discharge/charge/discharge cycle. Both charge and discharge cycles show only 2700mAh. It's still better than stock battery, but it's 20% less than the statet capacity. The highest capacity battery I found so far (standard size) is this one:

If you bought it from Amazon you can easily return or exchange it, Amazon has pretty good customer service...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ilordvader:
Trying to understand what you mean is

The 3250mAh battery only has 2700mAh,

but the 3000mAh is what it claims (the full 3000)

& also want to know if people who got this battery did follow instrutions:-

To get the best out of your battery please follow the instructions below:

1) When you receive your new battery, take it out of its packaging and insert it into your electronic device. Turn your device on and drain your battery until you’re left with 1 bar of power. Then charge your device for a minimum period of 12 hours. Your first charge cycle is very important, do not charge it before it is down to 1 bar.

2) After you have completed the initial charge, your battery should only be recharged once you drain it down to 1 bar of power and should be recharged for a minimum period of 6 hours for the battery to reach its full capacity. Ignore the phone telling you that the battery is full—this is normal but is not accurate.

3) Make sure that the contacts are clean.

This item also comes with a warranty, so if you experience any problems simply contact our diligent Customer Support team via email, live chat or telephone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] G0bl1n:
The battery came without any specific instruction for the first usage. When you buy a phone the only instructionis to fully charge it, and i'm not sure it is related to a battery capacity. All new batteries do not have memory effect, the charge/discharge sequence shouldn't matter. More importently, when battery voltage reaches 4.2V, it doesn't matter how long you keep "charging" it after that, since there is no charging current flowing into the battery. There is a protection circuitry to prevent overchsrging the battery, otherwise it will explode. So given instruction "to keep charging it" doesn't make any sense.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] G0bl1n:
I measured battery capacities using specialized device, which discharges the battery with the constant current. Knowing the current, time to discharge and monitoring battery voltage gives you real battery capacity. Battery with the claimed 3250 mAh capacity discharges quicker than the battery with 3000 mAh capacity, from a fully charged state at 4.2 V to 3.4V. In an attempt to get better sales some companies simply lie to their customers...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] toygixxer69:
The golden 3250mAh battery sucks big time. Drained it & fully charged (more than 10 hours each time) to use it 3 cycles already, and the results are the same. It has shorter life than my stock battery. So i'm just using it as a back up battery now.

So, same your money guys.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zilchie:
hi there, new guy here (first post!)

im a bit puzzled by the mixed comments here because i personally bought the 3250 mah battery from ebay and got GREAT results

on my stock samsung battery if i fully charge it before sleep, the next day it WILL NOT last the whole day on my normal usage - semi heavy usage with a lot of browsers and facebook, music, and whatsapp

on the 3250 mah battery it lasts just fine - i checked this again and again as i was always paranoid about using OEM batteries (especially due to that news of the galaxy s3 exploding - which i later found out that the idiot was putting it in a microwave or something)

i was not able to confirm the actual capacity of the battery, even though battery stats app shows it is 3250 (is that even accurate?)

but one thing for sure is i know it does lasts longer than my stock battery - just want to add this in
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] vipfreak:
The problem isn't that it last the problem is that down the road more long term it doesn't keep it's full charge as long as when you first got the batt. If they've improved this since the last time I owned one (EVO) then I'll be more confident about trying one again, but till then no thanks...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] krazman325:
Hey all you nattering nabobs of negativism!

I have been using the 3250 mAH battery for several months. It lasts me an entire day of fairly heavy usage, while the stock battery fell about 2 hours short of a full day. I have seen very little degredation in performance in the few months I have been using it. This battery was an excellent buy for ME at $11. I have no regrets and I have the stock as a spare! I would make this purchase again without any hesitation.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

I tested almost all batteries except mugen or other double sized or external batteries, only stock size ones. I can tell you that 3030 and 3500 "japan designed" batteries are extremely disappointing (I try to avoid being insulting). They were cheap and as I can afford an extra $20 I tried them. I will make this even more clear: do not buy those batteries, they are fake.

The 3250 sold by efreeport99 does it for me as I reported earlier. The only drawback that I did not mention but that may be due to not having reset battery stats: The battery is sometimes reported as "charging" even if I keep it away from a charger (I have been seeing that in battery drain app).

I previously used Anker 2700. They are good batteries with a little extra juice than stock. I keep them as spare now.

Nearly 24 hours on the new battery now, seems worse than stock. Quicker drain. Has gone through 2 half charge cycles (50% to 100%).
