I'll have some up of the hyperion hopefully soon. I'll try to do my normal usage without tethering. I'm really liking it so far. I recommend anyone pick up the tpu case. It's only $10 on Amazon

Can you link me to the anker? I'm guessing the anker you have isn't officially an anker battery since I don't see it on the Web Site:confused:

I'm waiting on my Hyperion to come in. I am going to mod my Otterbox defender so it will fit. Any tips?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Xirix12:
I am planning on ordering one of these. Not the Mugen. I do have three questions for you:

1) Both covers are different right? I like the look of the Anker battery better.

2) Does the phone get hot at all?

3) What do you use to charge the battery before placing on it into the phone. Official Samsung charging system or one from Amazon?

TIA

I charged mine in the phone. It came in at 59%. No troubles at all . Once hit full. Reset battery stats. And went to town.

Just got my Anker. Fits great in my Sweet Armor case. Will be testing it the next week or so.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tantran:
hello

My:laugh::good: battery came in Friday night at 59 percent it lasted 24 hours with everything cut on. I had 2 gmail accounts syncing and Outlook also Facebook which we all know drains battery. I was playing Temple Run 2 with the settings turned up. Flipboard was in frequent use all said I think that this battery is excellent. p.s. it really does take around 12 hours to charge it from 0 that is not a joke.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pickleweasel:
OK, second charge with the Hyperion with normal use, I have had my phone on for 52hours and am still at 16 percent battery. I'd say 3 days isn't too bad for 20.00. Again this is only the second charge so it may get even better.I can't post screens because I have switched ROMs twice during the three days its been on battery. I'm sticking to this ROM for my next charge cycle so I will actually be able to post accurate screens of usage. I am on the root box ROM now so if you are on beans you would probably get even better battery than I am. Will keep updating.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nicko42004200:
Here's my 3rd charge on my anker

Now I have a op in general for this battery with tons of pics throughout its use. It's quite detailed. Please look over in general section for more comparisons. I feel the anker is the best I've tested. I've done the 6500 ebay specials have 3 of those. And one of the 7600 ones and there the same as the 6500 ones.

I am looking to buy one of the extended batteries, but none of the sellers on Amazon ship to Australia. Anyone knows of any alternatives, short of using a mail forwarder? I am not very fond of buying the Chinese ones on eBay.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hudjw1:
I was using anker extended battery on my s3 and it was perfect. Unfortunately anker/hyperion batteries for note 2 are not available in Uk. I have tried one unbrand from ebay....but it was completely sh%&% $.

So, anyone know where I can buy one of them from Uk ? :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kminatta:
Anker battery only comes with the white back cover, correct? i have the gray Note 2, so it would prolly look goofy with a white back...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nbafatso@yahoo.com:
I have it and I must say it does. I've been meaning to do what others here have, which is use some vinyl to change the white to whatever other color I want.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 300winmag:
Or just get a case that has a silicone sleeve that goes over the back like the defender which covers the color anyway.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Didn't see it listed here, but the new Hyperion has NFC installed in its battery cover for the 6200mAh battery. I am not finding it requires 12 hours to charge to full using the OEM Samsung AC adapter and quality Monoprice 3ft USB cable. I picked up a second 6200mAh hyperion because I didn't think I could get a full recharge overnight if it was going to take 12 hours... so it looks like I have a ton of battery juice available, just in case, lol. Really impressed with the price and ship times of the hyperion from amazon.com. And the hyperion case feels solid, probably the best combo of weight and feel I have found in a case \ battery combo.

YMMV.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 300winmag:
My Hyperion didn't take that long at all to charge either but I still left it on for 12 hours.

First charge would have lasted me about two days but I had to use a battery draining app to kill the rest of the battery or I would have ran out the next afternoon at work.

When I got to work today I looked at my phone and it was down 10%... after an hour of being off the charger and me not using it.

I used it quite a bit since this morning and it's only gone down to 81% so I don't know why it drained so fast but at least it's stopped.

This battery is amazing!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Trying to charge my initial battery to full so I can take it out and put the backup battery on the charger... and the last 10% recharges at a snails pace.

But ya, I am noticing that too, it quickly drains the first 10% for me as well, then takes forever to run down. An iPhone 5 user tried to tell me he only used 9% of his battery with heavy use. Trying to explain to him that his battery was about 1\3 the size of the Hyperion 6200mAh was like trying to explain it to my dog at home, so I showed him where he could see phone use since the last recharge. Once he realized it read 47 min of use, he dropped the subject. LoL!

Do you many battery saving settings with your phone? (brightness set to auto, slowing the cpu, etc) I haven't changed anything yet, but I might tinker with it this weekend.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] one80oneday:
Tried one of the cheap 6500mah batteries from eBay and it doesn't last even as long as the stock 3100mah battery. I don't mind the extra size so I'll be ordering an Anker next.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
I've had the Hyperion battery for about 3 weeks and I wasnt too impressed with the first 10% dropping off after charging in a span of two hours. I raised serious concern about it and Hyperion refunded my money and told me to keep the battery. I am waiting for my Anker to be shipped to me sometiime this weekend. I hope I have a better experience with that one.

As for the OD mod for the extended battery, I strongly suggest to do it if you have a dremel! I didnt have one and it took a lot of work to cut through the Otterbox case...Whew! Other than that,I love it! :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 300winmag:
Awwww thats not what I wanted to hear!

Mine does the same thing, I was hoping it would only last the first few charges. :(

Looks like I have a decision to make....
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mesh626:
So basically you two don't like the hyperion batteries? I'm asking because I'm in the market for an extended battery and wanted to get either the Hyperion or Anker. From the looks of things I'm leaning more towards the Anker. I've had the Hyperion on the S3 and it was awesome lasted long and I remember reading something about our wall chargers only let the batteries for so long so it doesn't charge the extended battery to its full potential. So I would always put in my OEM battery while I charge the extended on its own charger.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 300winmag:
I am going to wait for a few charges to make that call.

The battery does last a crazy long time even with losing that 10% in the first hour.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
My hyperion didn't come with a charger and I didn't see an option for one. Ive read better reviews for the anker.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mesh626:
Did Hyperion offer you a replacement battery or you just wanted to get an anker? Also did you get it from their Amazon store? Thanks for the reply.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
I did get it from their amazon store. After emailing them 3 different times about the battery, they sent me a full refund. I had ordered the anker before emailing them the last time and their offering to refund my money. They didn't offer a replacement.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Greatbape:
Are you charging it 2 to 3 hours longer once it hits hits 100%. That's what my qcell battery requires per instructions.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 300winmag:
Initial charge should be at least 12 hours, Subsequent uses charge as needed.

Fully charge and discharge battery 4 to 5 times to reach best performance.

As per Hyperion
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dude18:
I thought there is no need to overcharge for lithium batteries, only for Nickel ones. Confused now... ?!¿
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
Here is some correspondence I had with Hyperion via email about the quick discharging:

Me: OK. I received my extended battery and per instructions, I let it charge the intial 12 hours. I took it off of the charge around 6AM CST and Ive made 2 calls and browsed a couple of websites. My battery is already down to 93%! That couldnt possbile be normal. Even the stock battery wouldnt delete that fast. I have attached a screenshot for you. Please advise. Am I doing something wrong?

Hyperion: Thanks for the inquiry! We do recommend that you perform 4-5 cycles of charge/discharge/recharge, making sure that you charge up to 12 hours for the first few charges. This is known as the break-in period of the battery and helps achieve optimal use. If you continue to have difficulty, let me know and we will be happy to send a replacement.

Have a good day,

Hyperion EA

Me: Thank you for responding. When you say discharge, am I suppose to let it die then recharge or let it go down to a certain percentage?

Hyperion: The discharge time doesn't matter...It is the charging time that is most important.

Me (two weeks later): I have contacted your company a few times regarding my extended battery for the note 2. I've had my phone off of the charger for less than 2 hours and I'm already down to 96%. I have tried the charge/ discharge cycles and so far this battery isn't lasting that much better than stock.

Hyperion: I have refunded the purchase and rather than inconvenience you any further, I just ask that you dispose of the defective item once you have received email confirmation of the refund.

Great Customer service and company. Maybe I just got a bad battery, but with all of my power saving options turned on and being on wifi 90% of the time, I shouldnt have been discharging so quickly....:(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
@babiegurl36 thats the nature of these aftermarket batteries. The Anker will also do that it will discharge fast the first 10-15% then should level out... I havent received any of the stuff I ordered yet but coming from other devices and using different types of aftermarket batteries most, if not all, of the ones I have has done this. Just let the battery run the course of the day and let it drain to atleast 5% before its recharged.. I also found it beneficial to charge the aftermarket battery with an external charger.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
Thanks for that info. I truly appreciate it but my battery seems to die before hitting the 48 hour mark. How long should I expect it to last on one charge? I have the power saving option on, Gps, sync, and bluetooth are never used and I'm on wifi 98% of the time yet I'm not lasting long. Right now my battery is at 38% and it's been 1 day 3hrs and 24 mins.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
Oh ya..thats not that great for 6200 mah battery... I got 24hrs on my stock battery with 10hrs screen time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
10 hrs screen time? Wow, that's a record I think.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
It was approximate...it was around 9.5hrs...it was my very first charge out of the box. Im on my second charge and im no where near that this time around. . Still satisfied with it..only hitting 19hrs and 5hrs screen time..the more customizing the battery life becomes shorter..

I just got this beast on Wed ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
I think the battery is stabilizing now. I've been off the charger for almost 5 hours on lte and streaming music and its still at 90%
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
Received my anker battery. I'm going to charge it, reset stats then see how it fares.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
First charge with the anker. Didn't even charge it for the initial 12 hours and it's draining less than the hyperion. No wifi and streaming music. (Been at work for about 5 hours so far)...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
My Anker does that...drops fast the first 10-15% then levels out. I also noticed that the last 10, or so, percent it last quite a while.. so there might be some callibration issues.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
I prefer the anker over the hyperion. It holds a better charge in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
How much *thicker* is the Anker vs. Hyperion? Or are they identical?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
Identical
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
Yeah. Anker is better. Yesterday my Hyperion battery was in the 60th percentile for the same amount of hours.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Hate to break it to you but posting these screenshots really don't prove much. At the very least you should be using better battery stats, but even then, your battery life would be governed by software installed, which version of android you are running, etc. There are ways to test your battery... Hitting the battery under settings isn't one of them.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
Whatever. What is with the negativity that people post on this site? I'm out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
You blew up this thread with your opinion, which is based on nothing more than warm and fuzzy reactions to the stock battery screen. Try getting fast discharge or another type of battery discharging app next time, so you can cycle thru the recharges (per hyperion's email to you) faster, and get your battery to where you want it. Hyperions, and many of these 6200mAh batteries are lasting close to 72 hours, yet you're worried about what the phone says immediately after you unplug it? Cycle properly, test with facts, profit.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] babiegurl36:
Kma. How about that? I swear some of you on here are so full of yourselves and are Internet bullies.... I'm entitled to my opinion and after using the hyperion for a month and seeing better results with the anker, i prefer the anker! Keep commenting if you want. I'm done and I won't be back to read anything else you post so internet argue with yourself.

Btw, I do use another frigging app, Gsam battery! I swear I wish some of you lived in the Chi because I would love to see you disrespect this female in real time. SMMFH. I'm deleting my profile. I'm just done with the snappy attitudes and blatant arrogance of some on here.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] donelam304:
why is there is always someone trying to make their ePen look impressive to others by degrading someone else. this is a forum and post asking others of their opinions on certain items. yes i am a total noob when it comes to the G Note 2. but i can bet i know a ton about android products. and i never put someone down over their opinion. if they state false facts thats another thing. but this is their experience and opinion. i have been with android products and rooting them since the OG droid hit the scene. i just came from a moto bionic and had to getan extended battery for it. so this is a very important topic for me. i am sure there are others that would like to see others post their opinions on their batteries as well. not all of us are experts here. but we do value the opinions of other normal people. thank you for your time. and have a safe and wonderful day.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jujuburi:
@babiegurl36: Well don't do that. Don't go away for some smartarse. It's XDA™, when everything is going cool and calm, some KIDS (there is a reason why I've bold it) come and try to involve their dirty nose. Pathetic, but that's how it is here.

You have some problem with your Android, well you have a faulty unit.

Just make an anti-Apple comment and have 50 thanks by other kids. This is XDA, I mean another side of it.

Anyway, as I said, keep posting the information you were posting about Anker, Hyper batteries. I follow this topic closely, never thought I'd have to post, but yet I did!

:o

'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
I am interested to find a single piece of disrespect in my posts. What I did was point out that using your opinion that's not based on a single shred of evidence was complete hot garbage. How many wakelocks or partial wakelocks did you have during your first 10% of battery drain? Did you try draining your battery properly, per Hyperion's instructions, and then spending the 12+ hours to recharge to full? Did you do this five times, per their instructions? I am willing to bet no.

I literally have to use an ac wall adapter to let my spare hyperion charge to full, as it takes WAY to long to recharge from 2-5% charge. That said, I am getting near 14 hours of screen time and 2 days 23 hours between recharges. I am using a monoprice 24awg usb cable coupled with the HP Touchpad ac adapter, and it still takes forever... but this is about the cleanest power to the phone.

Now, regarding the Badass Battery Monitor, or GSam... That's basically a pretty version of the stock app. Again, I gave you the tools, why go free when you own a $700 phone?

Since you have twice said "you're done" and you're deleting your account, I assume that you won't see this. Then again, you will. And here's a hint... while you're up in "Chi"... sprint has horrible coverage there. Your phone is crushing it's modem trying to amp it's signal in order to get data(Data, not voice, data). Next time you are giving your opinions, set your phone to airplane mode and turn off background data...and truly test it. No lte with music streaming, no pulling it off the charger before it's fully charged. I know this is hard for your "Chi" values to grasp, but statistics can really embolden your remarks. Throwing the female and "chi" card... on top of whatever you are trying to do in your avatar, really adds to your credibility.

And I, too, am done... with craptastic opinions that aren't based on a single shred of fact. You've been complaining about poor battery life on XDA since mid Dec. Try listening to users advice instead of just throwing money at your phone. How can I get almost THREE DAYS of use (10-14 hours of screen time) on a hyperion battery... and you can't break two days? I could care less about the first 5 to 10%, it's the length between charges that's important. You had these problems with the stock 3100mAh as well, doesn't that tell you something? Are you still using a non stock rom? There are tons of variables... a lot more than "ohh, piece of candy" every time you see a new battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
First of all... Sorry to ask this here.

But had anyone tried this generic battery?

Generic 7600mAH Battery

It says its not for Tmo... but I would still buy it just to test...

Or should I steer clear away and just use either an Anker or Hyperion (Mugen is out of my budget for a battery)?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
I've been here waaaaay longer than you and I must say I never felt the need to tell someone to get over themselves. If you don't like the thread move on. The post above is childish and immature. Your attack on the Avatar and your inappropriate "Chi values" reference is really making you look like an idiot. If you are an adult, you should know better.

Anyone here knows that if you turn your phone to airplane mode (thus consuming less power due to signal search), you will get more battery life. But me, and I'm sure other members, are concerned with real world usage. How it works when you can't spend 12 hours charging sometimes or how it does with real life signal issues.

Metrics are relative. I can spend hours coming up with baselines that will mean nothing in comparison to real use. Contribute something to the thread or refrain from commenting. I hope you realize this is not an insult or me trying to disrespect, it's trying to get you to reevaluate and remember why you are posting on this thread.

..................................................

MOVING on, I' m thinking about getting an extended battery. After looking at the posts it seems there is still debate on what provides the best value. Is it safe to say that I would get respectable battery life from the Hyperion model? Even if Anker does give more battery life, I'm looking at price to battery life comparison. Hyperion price is hard to beat.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:
On amazon the Anker 6200mah battery is $15.99 usd
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
I keep confusing Anker and Mugen ($104). Been looking at Anker due to the full back plate. Also, been wondering if I should invest in one of the 3M NFC stickers that you can apply to the back plate but that would probably require the hyperion half back plate.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Double0EK:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Bstrong9211:
I've had one problem and that's with three door rather than the battery. My plastic teeth have worn down. Does anyone know of a tpu or similar case that would fit over the battery door
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ghost_1:
The Anker comes with NFC on the door. I'm not sure if it's my phone or not but nothing but the OEM NFC stickers work. I just scotch taped my OEM one to the phone and use the Anker battery. Price wise I paid the same amount as my buddy who has the Hyperion battery. I just didn't like the way his looked so I went with the Anker.

IMHO the two batteries are identical minus the markings. I haven't really seen the need to push my phone but with my normal usage I'm getting about 6-7 hours for the first 10% and go roughly 12 hours and have only used 30+% of the battery. I'm sure the readings are off but who cares I don't have to charge my battery at work and I go out afterwards and still come home with over 30% battery life left. I've never been a fan of using extended batteries but after using the HTC Amaze 4G I think otherwise now. lol

Here are some pics to show my setup which works great. MIME SP, ZOMGO gunmetal bumper, Anker battery, Gunmetal Carbon Fiber Look 3M Vinyl, Spiegen home button.

Sorry for the huge pictures... :(
