Yes but you see how long it lasts over stock i have gotten 4 hours but its only last me about 12 hours.

And Again pay attention im running 1.0GHz constantly with NO UV.

With UV and Running 100/1000 on-demand i can run about 4 hours with screen on time and about a day of battery life.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ÜBER™:
Got my hyperion I must say it fits in the hands very well much better than stock feel I like the bigger phone in my hand. Only problem is the case on one of the snaps is broken and ill email them for a replacement other than that its awesome :D

Man i got the GG one it came with cover obviously, then it was broken. So they sent me another Battery without me sending in broken one and gave me another cover. Then hyperion one so another cover and no problems at all with all three. sorry to hear you cover was broken i got it one day shipping so they usually take care with those.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ÜBER™:
thanks for the reassurance the person never emailed me back saying it was shopped bit I assume it will be here in no time so far I'm very impressed at the battery life :)

I was trying to say that everyone but i put up a review on amazon for it but its only 14.99 with the cover as well clearly. but much better than my 26$ GG battery.

Man this things takes a lot and I mean a lot to drain I've been using it as I would my stock battery and it won't budge :D. Since my last post when I was at 80% its now at 47%

I'm going to write a review when this battery gets to around 8-6% this is amazing if of course there isn't already a review for this battery :rolleyes:

How do i calibrate the battery on the stock rom?
[Epic 4G Accessories] ÜBER™:
Doesn't need to "calibrated" needs to be conditioned means the first charge should be around 12 hours.

Then you should fully discharge and recharge about 4-5 times before it gets to full capactity.

My results on a couple runs across 3 of my different fatties (I forget which readings are for which batteries,though the data is fairly consistent)

Just updated my ROM to the newest EL30 derivative but the results seem to be the same. (This was all on the EI22 last version)

This battery rocks. Got mine from amazon... I thought I would hate the extra bulk... but I really don't even notice it. No different than having my sedio case on the phone. I don't worry about making it through the day anymore. Get an average of 36 hours on heavy medium use.... love it!
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Those measurements I gave were just of the battery. The 3500 mAh battery is twice the thickness of the stock battery. The phone with the 3500 mAh battery is the same thickness as the phone with the 2800 mAh Yoobao battery.

[Epic 4G Accessories] tony45x220:
Hey steve are your numbers the same with your 3500mAh battery as far as phone thickness and what's the max amount of hours you've gone so far with it?
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Longest I have gone so far is probably the current run. Its at 26 hours with 11% left. 5 hours of screen on time all at full brightness. At least 3 hours of various games. Streamed about 2 and a half hours of music over 3g as well. Lost about 25% of the battery sitting in a friends basement last night watching a movie and chilling. Stupid phone searching for 3g for 5 hours straight, haha. Also running DK28 Froyo, dont know how big of a difference that makes, but certainly no custom kernels installed.

This is I think the third full charge the battery has gone through.

Oh, and at its thickest point its 2 cm thick.

The next run will give a better estimate of overall time. Gonna run it at full brightness with no battery saving techniques at all, and hopefully not a basement to drain a quarter of it dead. Then the one after that I will throw on auto brightness and see what difference that makes.

What are you guys doing about cases with this battery installed? Can any one vouch for the "invisibleSHIELD" one of those might be able to still work... Or is this thing still slim enough to leave the door open to most snap on cases.
[Epic 4G Accessories] tony45x220:
Ohh I didn't even notice this was to me...lol, but no the phone's thickness isn't doubled...only .5cm thicker and again that's not the battery's measurments I'm measuring the back of the battery covers...what's the measurments of the COVER with your 3500mAh battery compared to stock?
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
2 cm exactly.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dito33:
I don't know how you guys getting all these hours on this batt, I bought one and getting terrible time, a lot worse then stock batt, it leaks juice even when screen off, looks like some **** wrap in thicker casing to impress gullible buyers at least like me. I bought also external wall charger that came with 1200mha batt and that one is a lot better then this bulky 3500mha. I am buying another original oem samsung batt for $20 ebay at least I know it worth it would fit your hands with org back cover.

dito33
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
That is your phone setup man, not the battery.

If its such ****, take it apart and see that in fact its 2 separate cells wired in parallel. The two cells are each the size of the stock battery, placing the mAH rating around 3000 realistically.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dito33:
Not really I compare that with my stock batt and that is my conclusion not just made up statements, man.

dito33
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Well you absolutely should be getting better battery life with this battery than stock. Did you condition this battery?
[Epic 4G Accessories] dito33:
If you mean wipe batt stat yes I did a couple of times.

Also charged fully and drain all_the_way a couple of times.

It leaks big time, it is not my phone cuz my other 2 reg batt doing fine.

[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:
Maybe you've got a dud battery. I'd contact the seller about switching.

P.S. Did the seller send anyone tracking info, or am I just going to be surprised when I find it on my doorstep in a week?

No tracking info if you bought from the same guy I did. Just a surprise package in the mailbox.

How do you wipe battery stats? I just ordered this battery yesterday and prolly wont get this til 1st week of Jan.
[Epic 4G Accessories] johnbarry3434:
Got my battery in the mail yesterday. Took about 2 weeks to get. Been off the charger since 8 pm last night when it finished charging to 100%. Its now 1 pm and it is down to 37% so that's about 17 hours so far. That includes a clockwork back up and new rom flash which we all know drinks up the battery juice real quick. Will report more after a couple days. Now its time to try and drain this monster...

Sent from my Epic beast of a phone
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Boot into clockwork. Go to advanced, and wipe battery stats. Its recommended to do it when the battery is fully charged to 100%.

It seems less and less huge each day I use it. I actually looked at my phone the other day and was like, damn its a lot skinnier than I initially thought.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Toast95135:
I really like how much more I can use the phone between charges, I've only gone through one cycle but even with extreme use (background data on, at least 5 hours of browsing and over 2 hours of Dungeon Defenders, brightness at 25%) I was able to get 10 hours when I popped the charger back on at 13%. Dungeon Defenders rapes the stock battery too.

The only bad thing with these extended batteries is it takes FOREVER to charge them.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:
OMG I'm dying now. Mine was shipped the 13th of Dec. Yet to receive it!!! I'm starting to think it's lost in the abyss of the Hong Kong mailing factory now.

I guess I was lucky - they shipped 12/11 (customs in HK has 12/12) and I got it around 12/22. The person I used did deliver properly and fast. Works great as well (when I don't forget to do the Airplane on/off on a restart of the phone). Hope you get the battery!

I bought mine from mzmshop. Who did you purchase yours from?
[Epic 4G Accessories] rapatelrocky:

[Epic 4G Accessories] sew3521:
Just to confirm the best thing to do to condition the battery is

1)Charge full +2-3 hours

2)Drain all the way

3)Charge full +2-3 hours

4)Drain all the way

5)Reset battery stats in CWM
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Not exactly.

Firstly, "conditioning the battery" is just a term people use to make it simple for everyone to understand. Nothing is being done to the battery when you do this, its your phone that is being conditioned. By doing this method you are basically teaching your phone how large your battery is and at what "fully charged" and "completely empty" are, so that it correctly displays the percentage of battery life left. Lithium Ion batteries dont really need to be conditioned themselves, but the phones do need to be. Its a minor difference really, but it helps to understand exactly what it the process accomplishes.

To correctly "condition the battery" as everyone says, you:

1) Charge the phone until it reaches 100%

2) Wipe battery stats

3) Drain the phone until it shuts off

4) Immediately place on charger as to not damage the battery in its low voltage state.

From there on out you are good to go. It is not recommended to fully drain Lithium Ion batteries from what I have read, as if they are left in a low voltage state (ie. fully drained), they can incur damage and essentially reduce their capacity. If you charge them right away though you are fine.
[Epic 4G Accessories] sew3521:
Thanks... looks like I will just get rid of steps 3 and 4 :D

I ordered on 14th and nothing, I emailed the seller, hopefully ill come this week. I am getting tierd of my phone dieing before the end of my day.
[Epic 4G Accessories] thumper338:
I'm still waiting for mine from mzmshop. I ordered on 12/10. I too got the email saying that it wouldn't be here for xmas but I was ok with that... however I'm starting to wonder where it is.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:
To those wondering, I've sent Mzmshop a message and he replied this,

"Dear buyer,

I sent it out at 13/12.

I think it maybe mail delay.

Can you wait it more one week?

If you still have not receive it after this week.

Pls let me know.I will help you.

I am so sorry about that."

So you guys should probably message him and see if he'll give you something for free for the wait. :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:
Just got my battery. Took 28 days, oh well. Worth the wait!

of course its on stock kernel and rom but rooted thats the real test!
[Epic 4G Accessories] nubecoder:
I received my order today (Jan. 5th 2011), I placed the order Dec. 11th 2010.

The seller did inform me there would be a delay because of the extreme weather in the UK.

I purchased this item from this seller.

The battery door cover looks nicer than I imagined it would.

It was evident that the whole battery was covered with a black sticker because there were bubbles on the edges. So I decided to take a peek...

I can clearly see a printed model number (or something) and a mAh value of 1200.

If in fact there are two cells (I have not removed the entire sticker, yet), I would assume they are both 1200 mAh and their combined total is 2400 mAh.

Not too bad for $12, but still not the advertised 3500 mAh.

I have a Seidio 3000 mAh that I will be doing a comparison against in the coming days.

I'll see how it goes, I doubt I'll be returning it to china.. Maybe they will send a free replacement or something.

=]

Edit:

OK I went ahead and pulled the sticker most of the way off, no printing of any kind on the other side. =[

Update: Communication with the seller posted here.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Very interesting. I would be very interested in seeing what is under the stickers on the other batteries as well. It was obvious to me when I bought it that it wouldn't be 3500mah for real, but it feels like more than 2400mah to me.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ssiperko:
I got my 3000 mah battery yesterday. Charged fully over night/this AM.

Turn on EVERYTHING I can:

GPS, WIFI, WIFI Tether, BlueTooth, Pandora, and LED light which also has front screen on the whole time. Started this at 7:15 AM and as of now (10:45 AM) I have 5% showing on the battery.

It was dead at 11 am.

Recharging now. Obviously I'm trying to learn the battery.

i ordered mine yesterday, either way if itll last a full day i dont give a **** what the rating is lol
[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:
I've sent an email to mzmshop regarding the 1200mAh print. I haven't given him any feedback yet, and I'm not sure what I want to give him. I'm going to await his response and see what he'll do.

In the mean time, my battery is definitely better, so I know it's better than stock, so I'll just enjoy it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
Just got mine today, seems good quality for the price, makes the phone fatter, but now i hopefully go on all day with everything turned on with out having to worry bout low bat. Very happy.
[Epic 4G Accessories] johnbarry3434:
Anyone having issues where battery suddenly drops to low battery? Seems to be fine after a battery pull and restart. For example yesterday I was in the 60% range and the battery suddenly jumped to low and shut off the phone. I powered the phone back on and the battery was still reporting low, so I shut the phone down again and pulled the battery and turned the phone back on and the battery reported around 60% again. This has happened several times and I am wondering if it is an internal battery problem or an android issue...
[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:
My phone has been unplugged for 37 minutes and its already at 80%. I havent done any battery conditioning. Does that make it display wrong?
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Never happened to me.

Yea, but not that wrong, unless of course you are playing the most intense, bright and loud game of angry birds there is.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:
I was using the internet via wifi with brightness on automatic. For approx 30 mins straight from a full night of charge.

This battery is good

I got this battery about a week or so ago and I have to say that it is really good. I would certainly suggest this battery. I still want to get a Yabbao and test it out to see the difference between that battery and this one. This one has given me the most around 56 hours of normal usage on my phone.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
You should have lost no more than 5% doing that. Something is messed up, might be the battery. I browse for 30 minutes with brightness on high and it drops maybe 5%.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Overstew:
I hope I didn't get a dud. :( I had to wait a month before it even came in. LOL!
[Epic 4G Accessories] sew3521:
Just got mine today... I am charging it as I type this with the phone off. I will let you know my experiences with it as I have them. ;)

UPDATE: Phone just gave me the blue light saying it was done charging. I booted into CWM and cleared the battery stats. I have not taken the phone off the charger yet as I have read it is a good idea to wait 2 hours or so after the blue light to make sure you have a good charge when you are doing an initial charge. Once 9PM hits I plan on taking it off the charger to start the battery kill. I am not planning on using any specific app to do the battery kill but just use the phone normally. 2AM Titanium will run which is a battery hog. I will update y'all tomorrow to let you know what kind of usage I am getting. I am running JuiceDefender Pro and Mammon's ROM with EXT4

UPDATE: I was able to have the phone on for almost 27 hours!!! Once the phone hit 15% I turned off Juice Defender because JuiceDefender cuts most of the communications once the battery hits 15%. This was a great buy!
[Epic 4G Accessories] sauron0101:
Do these batteries lose their ability to store a charge quickly? I've heard that a lot of cheap eBay batteries have the tendency to do that. First few charges - you're close to the rated capacity, but with time, they quickly lose their ability to store a charge.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
No, it has kept its capacity. To be frank, I have a hard time believing those claims. All of these batteries are made in China, for the most part, and they all come from the same factories. However they are re-branded after that is just marketing. Some companies might test their batteries to only sell the highest quality ones, as OEMS like samsung and HTC obviously do, but I doubt the ones you buy on ebay are.

Its not absolutely necessary, but it cant hurt. I am unsure whether over time it calibrates itself, but I would guess that it should.

So I've been refunded my $12.20.

I was looking more for an explanation than a refund, but...

I kinda get the feeling the seller does not want negative feedback.

Good communication IMO, and a full refund.

I feel the seller deserves positive feedback, but I plan on linking to my post in the feedback text (if ebay will allow it).

[Epic 4G Accessories] swanysto:
I wonder if there wasn't a mix up on his part. I bet they have tons of batteries going out everyday. I remember getting a blue Motorola Razr back in the day, when I ordered black. I am obviously not sure, maybe they never intended for people to peel back and find out the truth. But it seems like you got a free battery out of it, so that is pretty sweet.
[Epic 4G Accessories] bigtwpsp:
Ok so recently my battery has been messing up. It would be about 6 hours and it would be at 70% but then all of a sudden the battery low icon would pop up and then the phone would shut down. Then I would turn my phone back on then the battery percent would be at 75%. Has anyone else have this problem?
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Never had that issue with the battery. Been very stable.

One thing I did do was put 2 pieces of duct tape on top of each other on the inside of the back cover so that it holds the battery a little more snuggly, as before I did it I noticed that the battery would wiggle around a little bit.
[Epic 4G Accessories] bigtwpsp:
Thanks for the response but that wasn't it. Now when I turn off my phone to charge it, it says "Unable to charge non-supported battery. See user manual."

I'm going to email him now to see if I can get a replacement.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Try wiping off the contacts for the battery and the phone. Long shot but that could be part of the issue.
