After 39 hours unplugged, i'm still at 32% with normal usage
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
My Momax battery + black case arived today. I'm really impressed about how it fits the device. It's giving a nice feeling overall when you hold the phone and apparently the quality is fine (somewhere between mid-range and high-end I would say).

Now .. let's see how it will hold on power wise ... I'll need about a week or so to draw a conclusion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
I'm trying to fulfill some whishes (at least I know I would like these photos before buying something) so, here we go :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] GGSunny12:
Thanks for the pictures. Surprisingly the battery lasted twice as long as the original.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lokhor:
Nice pictures. It looks pretty sweet
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Davith:
I can already tell the battery life on this thing is amazing. It's been 2 days an I still have 64% left. Mind you I didn't use the phone much.

Just a few texts, calls and music, and the display's been on for a bit more than 2 hours (probably games and browsing I guess).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] frnkly:
had mine for 2 weeks now and have cracks on usb connector corner and base of phone.

Have not removed case once its been on.

Apart from that its great and kick stand is great to.

I think it maybe due to these areas being thinner than original samsung case..

just a thought...:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] redzone321:
just pulled off my "bumper" case and can see some small cracks forming already near usb , headphone and "antenna hole" .

all well ill just crazy glue them if they crack more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Abyss111:
Oops..I just posted a thread on this very item,i`ve had no problems with case durability and yes the kickstand is very handy too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] elita:
just got mine this morning! very excited :D

oh ya it has 45% pre-charged btw. charging now and will give you guys an update after few charge-recharge cycle.

I used to be very upset with the battery drain... with stock battery it only last 7-9hrs :(

I just got mine today. My one is already 67% charged.. Do I need to plug it in for 8hrs on first charge or just charge till it says 100%?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lerkin:
Use my battery for about 2-3 weeks. It's very good. BUT plastic quality is super, mega BAD. I never dropped down my phone, pulled the battery 4-5 times, but back case already have more that ten crackles, small part of plastic is going to fall down. Brr
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lasickui:
Anyone has any idea where to buy a new back, cuz mine broke into two pieces :?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rajatparihar:
need advise

I am also buying momax 2700mah for my galaxy S.

Should I go for white one or black?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chachi:
Is your charger slide cover white or black is the first question ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kingsonwongs:
that sounds good....

i like it
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] keizero:
Been using it for about a week and quite satisfied with it. With medium-heavy use (autosync on, games, heavy browsing) I usually get for like 8-10 hrs. Now I can get 16-24 hrs (18-24 hrs++ when I used Darky 10.4.2).

But I agree, it's very plasticky :D Oh yeah, I pick the white cover cos I like the zebra look on my phone :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DomZg:
just ordered one on the main site! cant wait to try it
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] TeusFrom:
Ok, but, is it as comfortable as normal? ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Cu8eR:
This battery is awesome, I have one... battery life with normal using is very good... I recommend
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jabirrockzzz:
Can

Hi friends can any 1 confirm how is the battery life and its quality?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dontstalkme:
That's not bad actually... hope they can make it slimmer though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ddeath:
Just go and buy it. Have been using it for a year with no issues. With so many replies, I think there are more than enough answers for you to look through and reference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jago25_98:
hmm...

this is smaller and cheaper than the $99 Mugen at £21,

but the plastic is poor quality

so I'll stick with a Mugen 1600 and stock cover

and swap batteries until I need to renew something...

The shame with many of these extended battery covers is that they leave a massive air space at the top... would have been better to fill it with battery don't you think?

I wonder if the EBB-U10 Samsung case can combine with a Mugen 1600...

update:

EBB-U10 only fits with the Mugen 1600 if you take the back plastic cover off as it's a little thick than stock battery. I think best option is the Yoobao beast
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sucre213:
very good battery life

but a little ugly don't you guys think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rexyu38:
Can you compare it to the stock battery? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
I'm on the first charge/discharge cycle with my battery (so no full performance is generated yet) and I can feel the additional power already.

I've watched a 1H 50min MP4 movie (800x480, 2500mbps, h264, AAC stereo) with the brightness at about 50% and the battery went down by only 11% ... this means a capacity of about 1000 minutes =~ 16 hours of continuous movie play, compared with about 9 hours on the original battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Davith:
I can only guess, but with my typical use I'd be somwhere between 20 to 30 % by now. My phone used to last 2 days on normal use and 3 days on light use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] k!pps:
Very interesting!

We are looking for further measures :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
One small correction .. the movie encoding is 2500kbps :) ...

And yes .. I have more measurements at this moment: On the same charge (it didn't died on me yet) I have accumulated the following:

- about 4 hours of movie play with the above codec settings, ~50% screen brighness

- about 2 hours of playing (angry birds, impossible game and impossible level game, for the record :) )

- about 4 hours of internet browsing

- one exchange email and gmail with push settings activated 24/7

- 3G data when I'm not in wifi range

- wifi and bluetooth turned on all the time

- around 30 minutes of phone calls

- unplugged since ~32 hours

I have 40% juice left in this moment. I can say I'm quite impressed. Good purchase :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] All Day On XDA:
Good to hear all these positive reviews.

Looking forward to receiving mine!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] twe69:
Do you mind taking one with the free slip case it comes with? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
Sure .. here they are.

BTW, the phone's weight with momax installed is 147grams.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CASz:
I just ordered one today. Nice to know it doesn't add a whole lot of weight although I'll probably only use it when I'm away from a power source.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
This is exactly what I've said .. but is fitting so nice that I've changed my mind :).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Davith:
Yeah it really fits perfectly. And it doesn't add too much weight or thickness.

I'm on my first cycle, and it's still going strong lol. 98 hours and I have 31% left. I'm on holiday though and I'm not using the phone much, so don't expect yours to last that long on normal usage. :p

All I can tell is that the display has been on for 3 hours 20 minutes, and most of that time has been for texting, Angry Birds and mostly browsing. I also have 2G set when the screen is off and 3G while the screen is on. Data is disabled at night (thanks to Superpower).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] darrenweiner:
Just ordered mine. Can't wait to get it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Lightarrow:
Sweet stuff. I should receive mine this week hopefully. The picutres look like the device is not that much bigger. Can't wait!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] qmox:
Did anyon buy white version and would it be possible to post some pictures ?

thank you in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] teiki87:
momax 2700

yes if we could have some pictures about it please please

Is it possible to have a comparison between the mugen 3200mah battery and the momax 2700 mah?? thx a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kezgez:
Hi all, can you tell me if anyone has found a seller in uk I would love one of these they look fab:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Lightarrow:
Yeay, just received mine ! :) it was charged at 45% when i got it so im still recharging it..

The case feels just right ! Before, i always felt like the SGS was about to fall out of my hands without any case. Now i don't feel the need for any case. The weight is also just right.

Will report back with my battery stats. I usually drain my battery in about 5-7 hours so we'll see it this can last the whole day :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
There was one I found, can't remember what it was called though, but they had no stock and including postage it worked out at approx 35GBP. I ordered mine off ebay and that worked out at 23GBP including postage. Mine left hong kong on the 20th, so all being well it should be delivered this week :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kezgez:
Yeah think that's what I will have to do ok thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] omishi:
damn all the black are sold out =(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lgkahn:
just so you guys know you can also get an extended battery direct from samsung that will work with our phones with one of the larger backs.. i have found that samsung oem batties work better than 3rd party regardless of the size..ie

this battery has normal dimensions but double thickness.

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB145152YZBSTD
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
The only three issues I see with this battery are:

1. Costs "only" 50 bucks.

2. Doesn't fit the galaxy s phone.

3. Doesn't come with a back cover.

Other than this, is fine.

I had the white one, just sold it to someone in this forum, there is a link in one of my post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tbsalan:
can i know how long its take to make a full charged?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Lightarrow:
So i finally did my first complete charge-discharge cycle. The battery laster 12 hours under heavy use Which is amazing. Loving it and i recommand it to anyone :-)

Even at the end of the day I got frustrated because the phone would not die... I wanted it to die to be able to do a complete charge discharge cycle lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lgkahn:
it does fit galaxy s phone smart ass i wouldnt have put it up there if it hadnt.. i have a couple..take your foot out of your.. before you reply.. i also said you need one of the other back covers.. i have found the 3rd party batties even ones larger than stock are really not and usually last half as long.. you get what you pay for.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
I think it took me about 5 hours from dead.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
@lgkahn

In the link your majesty provided, under compatible phones I do not see Samsung Galaxy S I9000 listed (or its US sibbling: Vibrant).

And ok ... considering this one will fit, the other 2 disadvantages still exists.

More than that, your royalty, the MOMAX battery (this being THE TOPIC TITLE) truly provides 2700mAh (or very close to that) for half the price of the genuine 2200mAh from Samsung.

So, your highness, if YOU have paid 50 bucks for just a battery w/o a cover and with less power than the one under discussion here, this does not mean we all have to do so.

Later edit: It happens that I'm an engineer ... in electronics (figure that) and I really know what is the difference between the rubbish batteries and the ones worth buying .... the momax, even its a chinese company (which spell "cheap&unreliable" for some), is making really good batteries (and guess where the cells for the battery on Samsung's site are produced).

You know ... being a "new commer" doesn't make me any smarter or dumber than you. We are supposed to collaborate on this forum and I've just expressed my opinion w/o insulting anyone .. if a product is not "certified" by the producer for a certain device, I would not risk to make an order overseas.

P.S: I forgive you for calling me "smart ass" because you have just proven you are fitting perfectly in this description.

P.S.2: I'm sorry for my English .. It is not my native language.

Later later edit:

Just an empiric measurement based on my own style of using the phone:

- genuine battery (1500mAh printed on it) is providing 2 days of usage (after 48 hours the battery gauge was showing 5%).

- momax (2700mAh printed on it) is providing 4 days (after 72 hours the battery was at 29%, after 96 hours was at 5%).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Lightarrow:
Woah take a deep breath and relax, I doubt his comment was to offend you. He was just stating facts from the website. This momax is not at all like the other cheap batteries. Its much better and really offers good performance.

Ro-explorer, how do you get 2 days off the original battery? I can hardly get half a day. Of course I use the phone alot so I'm not complaining.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
/start offtopic/

I've used to kill my phone in about 10 hours with really heavy intermittent usage. Never got less than 10 hours.

Anyway, I'm getting 2 days only after I've installed a custom rom with a custom kernel known to be good power wise. Additionally I've turned off the hsdpa and I'm using only 3g and edge. I'm using wifi always where available (the wifi is turned on all the time). And after all these, I'm using my computer whenever I have a choice :).

Just got mine today, very nice design and fit. Going to give it some hammer for the next few days, could only get about 6-7 hours with stock battery on a heavy day, so i'll see what this is capable of. I'll report back ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cokeman2:
can you measure how thick the phone is now ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
The phone is 15mm, I'm very impressed so far, but the crucial part is the battery life, which will take a few days.

got mine but not real happy with the thickness.. when i get two days out of a stock battery anyway and keep a spare in my pocket..

i will keep and use it for on planes, etc. as the kickstand is nice for watching movies/tivo on phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] All Day On XDA:
Just ran one cycle with this battery with moderate/heavy use.

Wifi and Bluetooth on for most of the time, some heavy gaming, browsing, a little GPS, auto-brightness the entire time and 3g always on.

I got 33 hrs before it died.

I expect this will improve on the next cycle as I intend to run in a more optimized manner and the calibration should be better.

The size, fit and weight are all very good - a very good buy. Highly recommend it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aomumu:
Great buy...

Ordered and paid on ebay on Tuesday. Turned up in my grubby hands today.

I love it, the svelte SGS is replaced by my Volvo SGS! I'm happy with that though, have had the phone off and battery being charged since it arrived and its just hit 100%. Will test this beast to extinction over the next two weeks but I have a very, very good feeling about this.

Cannot say enough great things about the Hong Kong ebayer that got this to me in 4 days. Stunning.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Wesku:
Ordered as it doesn't cost anything :p

Hopefully it gives better battery life.

I have just got two days out with heavy usage from the battery and no conditioning. Its a great battery and the cover is perfect fit and case not bad either. V. happy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
the set does not come with any charger, the desk top charger stand that I give, is because I have no use for it, If i need another, i can get them free.

Is it available in UK?? cant find it in amazon or ebay.

Any settings after installing MOMAX battery

Hi

Mine arrived today as well. It took 11 days to arrive to Lithuania.

Just one question. Must I do any settings change, clear battery stats, etc.?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
I didn't do anything ... just plugged it in and use it as usual. The battery stats will update themselves as you will use the battery. Actually, drain it to empty, charge-it to full and drain it again ... now your battery stats are accurate.

Anyway, keep in mind that this is a Li-Ion battery. It doesn't require formatting, but it will generate the maximum potential after 2-3 charging cycles (3 cycles 0 to 100% or 6 cycles 50 to 100%, it's somehow equivalent) ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tbsalan:
is there any special charger required? or i can just use original charger to charge this battery..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
Just use your original charger. The only difference is that the bigger the battery, the longer it takes to fully charge ... that's all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] razorhanny:
That's nice!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Sparkly1:
I love this battery. I've got it unplugged for 36 hours now, and i got 66% remaining. And every charge/drain cycle it keeps getting better.

Also, when i put the phone on my sofa, i can actually hear it now. Before, the speaker was pushed into the sofa and muted.

Loving my galaxy s even more now!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] fedefedefede:
Same here. It took around 11 days to deliver to the Netherlands. I am quite impressed by the quality of the cover (it fits perfectly!) and the increased battery time. It add a bit more weight and thickness into the game but I personally dislike the recent competition in who builds the thinnest phone..I tend to drop all these thin phones lately :P Now I have something that I can grab with my hands!

In one word:

Satisfied!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] BaggyBizzle:
Got mine on Monday morning and did one full charge and decided to kinda stress test it. Anyway since that day i have bluetooth, wifi and gps constantly active although no browsing, transferring etc has taken place. Also looped the music player on for one song and it is still going as we speak with 11% battery still left. Thats more than 48 hrs with these settings. A bit extreme i know but quite good life in it me thinks.....Although never tried this with the manufacturers battery. Hopefully it will last even longer after a few more charges and it gets used to the handset. Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dereknas:
Received mine after a week. The first thing I did was to apply the extra Gadgedshieldtz I have on the cover...Haha, fits perfectly on the camera and speaker holes. Top and bottom also ok except the sides which only covered half...but at least it gets protected...now back to the more serious thing of charging the battery on my first cycle.

We'll see how it goes. Anticipating to get 3 to 4 days out of this based on my current usage. Nice packaging and there seems to be an overall solid feel to the whole package.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alijanismayilov:
Very useful, better than million words. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CASz:
Got mine last week and am in the middle of charging for the 3rd time. Now I actually do stuff as I was afraid of running out of charge when I really needed the phone. I got the white version from ioomobile/ebay. Inexpensive and free shipping with awesome delivery time. I did my first ever unbox video:eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5291_oVUL4

Someone can test this battery to know how many real mah it has?

thx and sorry for my english.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
momax is a reputated company, and it states the mha is 2700, the main thing is, every member who has got this battery, has posted positive comment, and got at least twice the power of the standard battery or is very happy with it's performance, isnt that enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pantosssp:
Maybe is a reputated company but not for me, because is the first time i have seen the name.

i'm between the 1650 samsung battery (without modifying the thickness) or this battery, so, if this battery is 2200-2300 real mah, i will buy the 1650mah.

Thats why i asked if anyone has tested this battery.

I can say a 1950mah crappychinese battery is working very well to me, but is a 1200 real mah, and the people is still buying in on Ebay, and saying how wonderful it is... the point is: opinions are subjective, tests are objective.

Again, sorry for my english.

PD: I dont want to troll, i only want to know if somebody has tested it to know the results, thx in advance.
