I have the specifications for the Mugen battery it is 1.1 centimeters thick or 0.5 inches thick it fits very well with Seidio back cover and does not leave gaps in the margins.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
since it works with that back case it will also work with the extended surface cover I do not have the usage stats at this time because the battery just came in.

I also doubt I can replicate the tests that have been done in this thread.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
How long did it take for your Mugen Battery to arrive? Its been two weeks for me and it still hasn't arrived.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
it did take about 2 weeks for me as well it was sent it registered but nobody had to sign for this and it just arrived in the mail
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mojorizen:
Has anyone tried the battery from Yesoo yet? Toss up between this and the Anker, or even the Gorilla Gadgets if they ever get the cases back in stock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jorgefcbastos:
Is there a chance this 'genuine' battery to be fake?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW...278?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a25bb4ca6
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Andrew_han:
its fake, i bought one and it lasts half the time the stock one does
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spenc938:
This is great info. Thanks to the OP for all this effort.

I bought a $2 battery on ebay for my S3 and unsurprisingly it sucked. Battery life is about half that of the original battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demandarin:
My Hyperion 4200mAh still performing great. I'm still on like my 4th or 5th charge cycle. Even working 10+ hrs a day, I can never kill the battery..lol. ill have it on Max brightness and everything. Amazing battery life.

I will be ordering the suedo battery cover and case next weekend likely. I accidentally put a small crack on the Hyperion battery cover. What I need is a durable holster. These cheap leather ones from mall keep falling apart after a while.

I still recommend the Hyperion 4200. I see no one has beat my 8-9hrs.+ of on-screen time yet that I posted a while back. ;P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ahlexkim:
The OEM on amazon has it for $1.59...

Not sure if it's fake, but I got one.

Hi

Hi,

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents since I've been following all

these extended battery threads for quite some time.

Well, for me this is how I came to my present system.

I bought 1 Hyperion 4200 with NFC and was amazed with

the performance, I bought another for just in case!!

As far as covers, cases:

I started with the Hyperion Cover and their Honeycomb case.

It was OK, better than no protection. I then bought a Yesoo

clear case and that was even better. I now have the Seido back

and the Seido extended case with kickstand. I'm done!!!

Ken
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
Pretty with the same here I have the Seidio back as well as the extended cover and the Mugen battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] comdei:
Anyone know a reputable reseller on amazon for OEM battery?

Or should I just go 3rd party?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tedkord:
I may be giving you a run for your money. :)

Gorilla Gadgets 4500mah (though I'm sure it doesn't hold that much)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SmoothB:
I purchased the Hyperion 4200. Works great so far (on my 2nd cycle). Are there any other bumpers besides the Draco S3 that work with an extended battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Most bumpers work with the seidio battery cover
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tedkord:
Well, just about through my first cycle with the Gorilla Gadgets 4500mah extended, and so far I'm happy. Broke the 9 hour screen on barrier.

Edit: finished with over 9 hours 33 minutes screen on time. Nice.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
What app is being used for this testing, if I have time I'll try to run the Mugen thru this.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slackflash:
yes plzz name that app plzz and thks

btw- any idea those 2500Mah batteries are for real- or just quality print on battery?- because that some xtra20% is hard to be discerned imo

How many cycles does it take to brake in an extended battery?

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

I tested mine with nova battery tester free from play store
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demandarin:
Impressive! Hyperion the king of long battery life.

P.s. if for some reason you ever notice battery draining extra fast, just restart/reboot device. I had something draining my battery fast. Likely rougue app or widget. It drained like 10% in one hour w/out me even messing with phone. I rebooted phone and all is good. Now it only drained 1% per hour on same usage ;)

Its good to reboot/restart phone every now and then anyways.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
Does anybody know about a good bumper case that can be used with the extended CD battery from Seidio

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

To be very clear the bumper case does not have a back the cases that have backs are not bumper cases
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Updated Onite 2300mAH screen times in 1st post
[Galaxy S III Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
Well this is after first cycle of this battery

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008DF57W0

Did play few more games, used WiFi a lot and other stuff, other games not show on battery stats after a boot.

Was trying desperately to kill my battery so could do another cycle

Was £9.99 when I bought it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
It won't die
[Galaxy S III Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
Still......

9 Hrs 13 mins screen time on before battery died

3g wifi continuous, no power saving, stock jellybean firmware and kernel

Not sure if nfc works but it switches on?

I'm happy with it so far.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] marcogtt:
I bet always on WiFi connections not 3g.

Now is 19.99£ it worth Mugen then..

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
Yeah but wifi in uk drains battery badly when you use it especially with jellybean stock and I was moslty using the internet with it so compared to the samsung 2100 battery which I had to recharge probably every 5 hours with 2-3 hours screen time think it did well.

Edit: This is the first cycle and I was told it gets better after a few cycles.....don't know

I just thought I'd give it a try as the mugen is about £50 I think
[Galaxy S III Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
What is a full cycle 100 to 1 or 100 till it switches off?

Not sure which to do
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
The wi-fi in the uk is different? Pretty sure using 3G drains it faster than using wifi anywhere in the world.

I usually do 2% on normal days and 1% for testing. Never let your battery die becuase that will mess up your cells.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
There is a problem with jellybean UK I think, using WiFi with my standard battery it was draining 1% every two minutes and when using 3g it drains at 1% every ten minutes, not sure if it has anything to do with it being 75 mb speed showing on my phone.

Given up finding the answer to that.

Ah that's why my second cycle the battery is draining bit faster, just read that letting the battery die callibrates the battery too.

I'll cycle it from 1% then
[Galaxy S III Accessories] marcogtt:
I do think the same indeed unless we are talking about crappy hotspot provider services

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
I've just found something out, battery drains bit less if you have WiFi set to always in advanced settings, maybe having it at never while sleeping makes WiFi keep disconnecting causing battery drain when the screen has been left a bit.

Just checked my stats with it on never awake and had wlan wake in kernel wakeups being a concern.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Basil3:
Is this a known problem? Do you mean on standby? I'm on jellybean and browsed xda for an hour on wifi this morning, battery was still at 90% after that...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tormeister:
I was thinking about getting a stock-sized second battery, do you guys trust brands like Hyperion or Onite? They offer slightly extended capacity for a lower price than the OEM one but I'm not sure if I should get them
[Galaxy S III Accessories] XenomorphXx121:
No while using WiFi, my battety drain is like 1% every 5 minutes and when I have WiFi off no drain at all.

Look in general forum there are posts everywhere about drain problems using WiFi.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] trvbone:
Okay guys this thread has made it to 46 pages what's your best recommendation for an extended battery? I've read through most all of the pages but I don't know which one?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Riktar:
I'm on 7th or so cycle on the hyperion, it's simply amazing!! I I cracked the back case with simple removal, and contacted them and they shipped me a battery and extra back cover... If that ain't amazing customer service idk what is lol. I did eventually purchase a seidio battery case, the quality is ridiculously good, but gives my phone a nice two tone black/white combo. As far as battery is concerned hyperion all the way!

I didn't wanna post exact contact from which vendor I bought them from so it's not viewed as scams or spam ads so just send a pm.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] shinigenEddy:
Is there any reason why the Mugen Power 2300 mAh slim extended battery isn't in this? I just received mine in the mail today and it blows every other stock-sized extended battery that I've used out of the water..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Vanquiz:
Which extended batteries did u used?

If it can beats extended Hyperion, Anker, Q cell, or even Seidio 3500 , that's really hard to believe.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shinigenEddy:
It can't beat the 3500/4000 ones that require a new battery back door, but it does indeed beat the hyperion 2200 and the onite 2200, as well as the other 2100 mAh batteries.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Vanquiz:
Ah, I see ... if it's still fits in the original cover and does have a significant advantage over OEM battery, it might worth it, I'm interested to see a review as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jimlmackjr:
Ok quick question -----Hyperion 4300mAh battery STOCK rom

at night off the charger and powered up (i use it as for my alarm)

it drops about 10% in 7hour does this sound normal

Other then that i am getting at last check on my 3rd cycle or charging i had 1day 18h and was still at

34% did a battery drain and a 12 hr charge but they way i use my phone it LITE to MOD use with about

4hr or screen on time

this is normal or am i little off

comming from a Infuse i been looking at Flashing which would be a Stable Rom that not Power Hungry

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
When I use the Synergy Jb rom I usually lose around 1% every 1 hr 20min-30min on standby. My Hyperion still has no problems and I've had it since July.

Oh I may beat the current record for screen times in this thread. I've gotten 8 hours screen time on 50% brightness and I may be able to break the 11hr mark with a little tweaks here and there. Ill post pics once I hit 11 hrs to make you guys jelly,
[Galaxy S III Accessories] trvbone:
Are you using the Hyperion 4300? Or is there more than one Hyperion Mah rating?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jimlmackjr:
Woops i stand corrected 4200mAh
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
No point in paying $40+ for a battery that will only give me a around 30min extra when cheaper batteries will give me around 10-15 min extra for $10

Hyperion 4200mAH with NFC. The first posts are tests done to see how much screen time I can get with max settings. Thats GPS running, 100% brightness, full white screen, 4g data, and max CPU.

The other screen times people are posting are daily usage. I'm just trying to beat those screen times with my daily usage not testing times.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
Any ideas when your Mugen testing might get done?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Currently testing the Anker 2200mAH. I just checked the tracking on my Mugen and it left Hong Kong 11/2. I live in New Jersey so the Hurricane might have pushed shipping dates. Somebody on this thread also said the Mugen takes around 2 weeks so hopefully I'll get it by next week and go through the cycles.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
I'm using this bumper case with Seidio extended back cover. Works well, minimal protection minimal bulk. May not work with all usb cables as the opening is narrower. However it's good quality and good price, so I'll shave a few cables :) I've not had problems using head phones. Conceivably if your head phones are thicker or 90 degree that may not fit.

Just recieved my Anker 4400mah that was bought on ebay from the US as I am in the UK. Fast delivery! I am just testing it now on my i9305. I'll test on the LTE when my plan switches to an LTE plan.

All i need now is a Seidio battery cover and extended battery case with a kickstanf and ill be sorteddd!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fast2049:
Hey that looks awesome. Could you post some pics of your phone with it on + the seidio battery cover. thanks :highfive:

Comments on the Bumper Case pics

There is a decent lip around the front glass - so it will not touch the surface if put face down.

There is a decent lift from the back of the battery - so the camera will not touch the table if put back down.

The slide in front restraining mechanism for the bumper case does not have give and is not loose.

Now to the not so good things - if you'll see that cable - which is actually "not fitting in" is an HTC cable - I used that cause most of us have come across an HTC cable - and know the head on that cable is not too big - so be ready to have to shave the cable.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
Ok 2 of the screen captures are attached 1 of these shows a slightly higher signal value that's the one without the bumper case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ningcube89:
I got about 8 hours screen time with 38 hours off charge with the Anker 4400 battery. Very impressed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fast2049:
nice looks good. I just got my hyperion battery and I am on the first drain and its still taking forever. I got the seidio battery cover so i just have to order that bumper case. done deal :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] trvbone:
I really want this combo for my phone but I'm not paying $70 for seido when I can get higher mah Hyperion battery for less than half that I just want that back cover I can't find it sold separately anywhere any clue?

Did you buy the cover by itself.

Dude really for 99$ u can get 2 to 3 of the Hyperion batteries down the road

the Mophine is only 2300mAh battery

but to each his own
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
Looks great I do have a few concerns though

Your'e spending a 100 bucks and making the device taller and fatter too

The 29 Dollar Battery plus the Seidio Case is a cheaper and possibly more aesthetically pleasing alternative.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fast2049:
Ordered the bumper case black. I think it will look good with the black seidio battery cover and the white s3. 2 colors to match. So far my hyperion battery is kicking ass, Im on my full first discharge and im at 1 d 1 h with 62%. Screen 27% and devide idle and standby is only at 5%. Cant wait for this thing to be full calibrated :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] trvbone:
Do you mean devil idle? Is there a devil kernel affair for the s3?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Received my Mugen 4600 today. I should be done cycling the Anker 2200 tomorrow so I'll post times of the Anker 2200 and start the cycling of the Mugen 4600.

Just can't wait to have a valuable and normalized review

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
I have a question about the phone you used to do these reviews is this the daily user phone with various applications email and the other stuff on it already working or is this the standard phone that just does not have all the user customization applications on top of that. I'm thinking user customization is going to cost more battery life.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
I factory reset my phone for these tests and I'm 100% sure you will get a longer screen time than the tests I do. For instance you you probably wont have GPS up and running for 7 hrs straight pulling a signal, CPU maxed out, 100% brightness with a full white screen, using 4g while searching for a Wi-Fi connection non stop. Once I'm done testing the Anker and Mugen I'm going to try and pull 11+hrs of screen time with the Hyperion using Synergy. So far my record is 8hrs and I've seen a few people beat that on this thread.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Capa1970:
Keep in mind that the Mophie adds to the stock 2100 mAh, and so if we add the 2300 that Mophie adds, we end up with 4400 mAH, which is more than the Hyperion 4200 mAh. It does cost $100 but it is both case and battery. If I buy the Seido case for $35 + shipping, and then the Seido cover for $15 + shipping, and then the Hyperion battery for $30 + shipping, I'm not too far off from $100. Also, that high gloss white with metallic accent is soooo beautiful on the Mophie case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
Thank you I appreciate all the work you have done in this thread do you think the average people using their daily user phones with multiple applications would likely get less battery life than your testing because there are there many other running apps to use more battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Well I bought my Seidio case used for $20 shipping included with prime on Amazon. The seller was Amazon so I didn't have any worries about it being fake. I'm sure people can find it cheaper on eBay and such. But you are right about the similarity in prices between extended batteries and the mophie pack. Let me ask you this though, would you feel safe about dropping your mophie pack from 5ft+ on a concrete/cement floor? I do with my seidio case. I know my phones safe with the outer plastic exoskeleton and the rubber innards. When I saw the mophie pack first thing came into my head was the micro usb. Lets say I do drop my phone(I drop my phone alot), what would happen if the micro usb broke off. I would be left with a broken $100 battery pack and a piece of metal stuck in my micro usb slot preventing me from charging my phone or worse breaking my phone trying to take it out. Anyways my point is it just seems to fragile to be considered a battery pack + case. Battery pack users can hate me but that thing is way too long.

They would get more than double my testing times for sure.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
Thank you you're right the testing needs to be in standardized conditions

I understand now
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
What's Synergy.

Did someone try the 4600 mAh battery ?

I want to get one but i am afraid that it's not real 4600 mAh..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BR377:
Finally my Anker 4400 battery arrived in the mail.

I live in Australia and it was very difficult to get my hands on one, i could NOT find a way to get a hyperion but one fellow was shipping Anker intl.

2 weeks later it arrived yesterday and is in the phone, i charged for the entire night a good 10+ hours, so far 4 hours on battery and 96%... Looking good :good:

I can't believe how much better the phone is with the extended battery, much easier to hold, much better weight and just feels right to hang onto.

In my opinion the S3 is far too thin stock, would have made sense to have it thicker with more battery life. Who has pockets that can't fit a S3 with extended battery? Nobody.

loving it don't hesitate people jump in and buy one!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kench33:
I would but uag doesn't fit it lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Ok guys my anker 2200 results came up with 3 hours 56 minutes. Something doesn't feel right so I'm going to test it one more time tomorrow. Thats almost an extra hour for 100mah

Edit: I noticed I forgot to change my baseband. I was doing the test with 1535VRBLK1 which is the new JB baseband leak. I'm not sure how the baseband would give me an extra hour with just 100maH. If anybody can explain it would be appreciated. I'll be doing the test two more times using the HE and HD basebands.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mehdi_s82:
Maybe 3 hrs 56 mins is correct! its in line with what this review says. I have hyperion 2200mah and I don't use NFC. If you can test it again and confirm the initial testing results, I will def get one.

Thanks buddy for all the effor
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badrsj:
What's Synergy? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] djalecazam:
So would it be safe to say that the Anker 2200Mah is a step up from the stock battery? If so, I wouldn't mind dishing out the money. It actually sounds like a reasonable investment to me if you don't say (:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kench33:
If you use nfc don't get it. I don't so I don't mind.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Synergy rom

All the stock sized extended batteries gave better life then the OEM, I'm going to have to retest the Anker because 50min extra from 100mAH is just ridiculous. I also forgot to block all calls and received a call near the end when I had around 10% battery left. Also the baseband wasn't changed. You should wait for the retest. I'll have to do 2 retests with older basebands to get the right reading.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jay661972:
why not get mophie.....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
This was my answer to somebody asking the same question before. Its also $100 for a battery. No thank you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Capa1970:
Amazon definitely sells fake stuff, in fact, Apple just issued a warning about their Smart iPad covers sold on Amazon. Sony has issues similar warnings.

I know multiple people who have Mophie battery cases for their iPhones and I have never heard of anyone have the type of accident that you describe in detail. It seems that you are grasping at straws to discredit the Mophie product and at the same time you are really pushing the Seido case. Case in point, you state that the Mophie case is too long and yet totally ignore the fact that with the Seido case the phone is too fat. Certainly beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I find the white Mophie case more appealing aesthetically than the Seido case.
