I bought one

I bought one the other day. Here is my review:

I bought it off ebay. When it arrived, it had 69% battery, and discharged very fast until I could charge it. After a rather long charge, the battery life appeared to be better. Over the last few days I have calibrated it, so I will comment with how its going in a few days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
I'm looking right now at my phone equipped with the momax battery. It is showing 25% battery after a 12 hours flight while I've pretty much continuously watched movies with the display at ~90% brightness and one hour of GPS navigation from the airport to the hotel.

I don't know about other people standards, but according to my own this is great :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mrsufgi:
Just got a day&half of mid-high use with latest cm7 nightly
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tatsuya79:
Got my first crack in a corner, stupidly cheap plastic didn't take a single shock.

battery AAA+++

cover ZZZ--- :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] SpaZzzzz:
seems nice but its just too big...

a 4" phone is big enough and i dont think u need to make it thicker...

dunno about u but my battery lasts for 20 hours so i charge it once a day and thats enough for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] omishi:
My 2 white case finally arrived. Picked the white cause i'm tired of fingerprint hehe.

Here's my old one that cracked. Unfortunately the build quality is the same as the black one =( you can see the second crack on the second pic by phone jack to the camera.

Guess i'll be buying this one if these 2 fail on me

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rexyu38:
If you don't mind using the phone without the back case, you can just use a tpu case. I got one from http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110679995113&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT. The case fits really well without any back case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ertangun:
it is so big, unusable product for me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] action_papst:
just ordered one for me. lets see how long cm7 will last then :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kmrdeva:
CM7 easily lasts 20 hours for me with 3g, bt, gps always on. I am a heavy user of Gmail, whatsapp, tweetdeck, xda app, gtalk and opera mobile.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] damocles:
I just ordered it for 34USD on ebay! Cheapest I could find. I will be running it with darky rom 10.1 and dark core 2.6.

Do you guys recommend using battery for a week. Then fully charging. Formatting internal SD and then flash 10.1 again and set kernel for best battery results? I want to get the max out of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ddeath:
To strengthen the case and also remove the unsightly finger print magnet cover, I did the carbon fibre mod. You can see the pix I posted in that thread. :)

hey guys, have you seen that on Momax eshop ?

shop.momax.net/files/full/3663_0.jpg

X-Level Battery for Samsung Galaxy S i9000/i9003

[Code: BASAI9000XL]

Capacity: 1700mAh

Could be better than their crappy cover that comes with their huge battery ?

Gonna try it, $28 or 19€ with shipping to France from their eshop, $20 or 14€ at ioomobile on eBay, I think it could be worth it.

I know it is not the place, you're discussing the huge bulky one, just kick me out :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tatsuya79:
I'm not sure it is worth it.

There is no "made by LG" or "Japanese components" sticker like on the 2700mAh battery.

There is already a real Samsung made 1650mAh battery for the Galaxy S Armani which should be better than this one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] action_papst:
Mine runs even longer now and I have not used the new battery since it hasn't arived yet... will be awesome :)

Sent from my blazing fast SGS running the lastest cm7-nightly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] damocles:
Are you serious? 20 hours? How do you do that? I get maybe 10 hours with my sgs.

Darky rom 10.1

Dark core 2.6

Ram fix

Juicedefender

Still on old battery and desperate for longer battery life. Is cm7 so much difference?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kmrdeva:
I am using a 2700mAh battery and I get 20 hours. You are getting 10 hours with the stock 1500mAh battery, no? Why not try the Momax 2700mAh battery then?

BTW, in general, CM7 uses about the same (maybe a little more) battery per hour than Samsung-based ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] damocles:
Ok, but I see action_papst saying he got over 20 hours even without the new battery. Or am I misreading something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kmrdeva:
Maybe his/her usage is different than mine. Battery life is a subjective matter, very much depends on usage, location (i.e. how strong network coverage is in your area) and a number of other variables.

With the stock 1500mAh battery, my phone used to barely make it through 10-12 hours of standby+usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tatsuya79:
And it depends a lot of how much you keep the screen switched on.

On minimal brightness level, Samsung JVH rom, no data, stock 1500mAh battery, it uses 1% every 6-7mn, that's roughly 10H.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] J0HNiE:
looks good how long should this battery last for?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kmrdeva:
In my experience, at least 1.5 times over your stock battery..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] action_papst:
Hey. I indeed have more than 20h with average usage. Google syncs all the time. ATM I have 50% left after 12,5h of usage. Try the newest cm7-nightly ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] damocles:
So, still waiting for the Momax. But also bought this one.

Extreme 3500MAH for half the price almost.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...40218&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_2325wt_1139

Looks good. Will let you guys know which one is better (in terms of look and time using it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tatsuya79:
I bet you'll be using the Momax with the fake-english-3500mah-lie-chinese back cover when the Momax cover will die. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dannyglover:
two more options

Just found more i9000 extended batteries.

batteries.net has some pretty basic looking in white and black

also obostore.com has an interesting looking case.

perhaps they are a good alternative to the Momax in terms of case durability?

I ordcered the obostore.com and will see.

My white Momax replacement cover cracked about 10 times worse than the black one. So brittle.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] damocles:
So. Got the Momax.

1 full cycle, charged completely. Fully used. Then another full cycle. Will let you know how long it lasts. First run not so impressive.

Maybe reflash sarky with full battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ericwww:
This battery is great, made in Korea by LG

and it is the only available "genine" extended battery for i9000 so far in the Market

All other made-in-China battery are fake (please refer to previous thread)

I got the battery 1 week ago and was doing extensive battery drain on it, by computer game

I have just finished 1 hour of Eternal Legacy (from gameloft) with battery drop from 88% to 80%

I start to install and play tons of 3D game from now on (which is not possible previously due to the short battery life)

combine with Juice defender + set CPU, with original 2.33 ROM from Samsung and background data on, the battery can easily last for 2 day with a lot of game play/internet/video/call

Considering the increase in thickness, it is perfectly acceptable if u do not use any phone case.

It is just similar to the thickness of the original battery + a phone case

I recommend buying the BLACK case, which make the phone looks slimmer and less brittle ( compare with the white one)

I strongly recommend anyone playing pocket game on i9000 to have this battery.

Enjoy!

momax

Hi i bought this battery,

but i am waiting for arriving the battery..

i can't wait to try it.:p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ralphitz:
Sounds to good to be true... But if peepz are testing it, okay :)

Are there also any experience with melting or explodingbatteries? or not functioning ones at arrival? Or ones with good activity the first days/weeks, but qith quickly diminuishing capacity after that period?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kmrdeva:
Have been using the Momax batt for a number of months now, no issues, it works as advertised.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xboomm:
Sounds good..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Varcetta:
Using it already 3 months.

The backplate is thin plastic but works also like the stand perfect.

The look is even nicer then with the usual backplate in my opinion.

Battery got. 2700 mah and allows me to work for 2 days until a recharge is needed ;).(iam rly a power user with daily 4-8h screen on time)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jetgomes:
Hi,

I bought a momax and yoobao in the same day(3 weeks ago).

I received the momax one week later(fast delivery,wow)and the yoobao i received it today (I live in Holland,not bad).

The momax battery is quite good (two days of intensive use, always-on WiFi and 3G, gamming, browsing, emails, etc..and 3 days with moderate use) and the case fits well (only a small gap next to the usb port) and the stand is perfect.

I cannot talk about the yoobao battery because I only received it today, but I can say that the yoobao case is not as good as the momax,I had to make some adjustments next to the buttons (with a sharp knife, lol) because it was upon the power and volume buttons and around the camera lens,the stand is not that great!perhaps i receivd a bad one,who knows.

the yoobao battery does not fit in the momax case, but the momax battery fits in the momax case.

My personal advice!go with momax,you get a Carry Pouch,or by both(like i did,not that expensive)and buy a extra wall charger,allways fully charged batterys!

What's best place to buy?

Hi!

I'm from Spain and i want know what's best place to purchase the 2700 battery online...I've seen too much links but i wish purchase a pack with a cover...

Thanks a lot...

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kmrdeva:
Crazy, that's almost USD80!! The Momax extended battery with cover only cost me USD40.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] zacharias.maladroit:
original samsung accessory ;)

without any specs (mAh) it's rather pointless to compare unless of course someone is in possession of this honey ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kmrdeva:
I remember reading somewhere that the original battpack accessory is a 1500mah battery that will charge the internal battery, theoretically giving 1500mah x 2. The phone still takes power off the main internal battery while the battpack recharges it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Arkymedes:
Me too, today :(

Any replacement covers for this? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] omishi:
if you want a spare momax case. Go here http://shop.momax.net/index.php?sp=...5&id=3641&cat1=132&cat0=15&new=&more=&lang=en

I suggest you get the white one. I find it more durable than the black for some reason. I dropped the white one couple time on my desk. No crack so far. The black case cracked on my first drop. And i bought 2 white one just in case **** hit the fan hahaha.

By the way anyone got this battery? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...40218&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_2325wt_1139 I'm gonna be on the road for a while so planning to get another High MAH battery for spare. If anyone got that battery can you tell me how it is. I read from a couple post that E cell product is not what it said to be.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PrinterElf:
You're a star! Just noticed a chunk missing from the corner of the back cover, new one ordered immediately! Any suggestions on a more durable 'pouch' as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Arkymedes:
Ordered one of each colour.

Some pictures for you guys, with the white case:

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dannyglover:
The white for me was exactly as brittle as the black case.

I would advise not wasting money on the Momax covers.

The battery is good but the covers are both rubbish. The only covers I've had that don't crack are the original and the cheap eBay "3500MaH" covers. The black cover with the matt finish loses it's matt-ness after a while so the white is probably better in the long run. They don't fit 100% on the bottom of the phone but the gap is only about 1mm and doesn't stick out or anything. I can live with it aesthetically.

I posted that link to the cover way back in the thread after contacting Momax and asking them to create the option the buy the cover seperately. Probably not the best thing to do as the covers are made from unsuitable plastic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] awandroid89:

Helo.. Do u still using momax 2700mah with stand battpack?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] All Day On XDA:
I've been using this battery for a very long time now - 6 months in fact. It's been through a lot - the back is scratched and it looks worn, but it doesn't have any cracks. Thinking of applying a carbon fibre tape sticker to cover the back up. If I ever get round to it :)

Everything working as it should, the stand is really handy for me as I travel a lot. I'm a really heavy user of the phone running game emulators, frequent web browsing usually over wifi and use bluetooth speakers a lot - with my original battery, which I still like to use occassionally, I get 15-18hrs, with the momax battery I still get 25-32hrs.

still much sleeker than the other battery packs. Phone doesn't feel like a brick. I use the free inside space above the battery to store the other sim I use! stuck a cardboard sleeve in there to hold - ghetto but handy!

best extended battery for the sgs imo
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] omishi:
I totally agree. There isn't any other type of battery out there that provide you a case with stand. I had been using this battery for a while now and I was planning to upgrade to a sg2 but find out that monax doesn't have these type of battery for it so I didn't bother with the upgrade. And a lot of my coworker like the back plate with stand. I told them it came with the battery and they wanted one as well. But too bad for them cause they all use the captivate. Hahaha. Got to love having the phone on full brightness and enjoy the beautiful screen and not worry about the battery running low.

I broke the stand on my battery cover. Super glue doesn't help.

Does anyone know if just the backplate is available somewhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kmrdeva:
Here you go, you can buy the back cover/plate from momax - http://goo.gl/jiXiG
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] All Day On XDA:
Hmmm can't decide between the black and White... Does anyone know if one is better than the other structurally?

Is the quality of the plastic different?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] omishi:
Quality are the same. I have the white and it sure hell last longer compare to the black one i got. I bought 2 just in case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] All Day On XDA:
Started to believe buying another back cover is a waste. The hinge will always be a weak point.

The rest of my case is fine.

So, I'm looking into replacing the stand with some kind of cloth covered wire loop.

The proof of concept works as I have currently used some twisty cable wire. The stuff that is used to hold loops of cable together. If anyone could tell me the proper name it would help in my googling.

It looks ghetto but it stays in place, holds the phone up and doubles as "finger loop holder" making the phone more secure when held with one hand.

I guess it also allows attachment of a lanyard or hooking onto a wall.

It's way more useful now!

Oh well.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] laconic5:
I've been using it for a week. I've never dropped it. I haven't removed the back cover since putting it on. And now there is a crack near the power button.

I was just starting to really like the cover. Besides longer battery life

- It provided a little extra protection for the lens.

- It didn't cover the speaker holes when placed flat on a table.

- It had the kickstand.

I'm thinking about spraying it with this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastidip-P...OOEO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319205453&sr=8-1

Hello there,

Just want to ask,

can i charge the momax battery with my original samsung charger or do i need to buy the external charger?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Krieg Noobie:
I'm using original charger to charge the momax battery for more than a month, no problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] joevik:
Thanks! Getting mine now!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] redzone321:
just got this and i must say it is amazing!

The thickness it adds doesnt seem like much for the ability to make it through the day!

im a power user and by 4 pm id be own to 15% battery. Now with the Momax i can go to bed at midnight as still have 30% left.

dont know how i survived without this battery for this long. !
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] J1M:
I think I´m going to bought one of this! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] olegd:
The same sht. After couple months I found another cracks and bought a replacement. Now the second back cover looks like the first one - there are cracks at the same places...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] redzone321:
i put a rubber "bumper" style case on it so i hope i don't have the same issues as you guys!~
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] olegd:
the problem is that u can't avoid pressing the power button and seems that this causes cracks... the single back cover is not expensive, but I don't like an idea to replace it every couple months :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] All Day On XDA:
Strange that apart from the stand snapping off the case has been extremely solid for me. Not a single crack.

I wonder how widespread the cracking issue is and whether it has something to do when it was bought.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
i dont think you will regret using it, apart from the price.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] twe69:
What do you get with the original battery?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
with the original battery, i get like just over half a day with wifi on, now i get less thsn 2 days on one charge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] All Day On XDA:
I just went and bought one too.

I was able to get just over 24hrs on a regular battery *with moderate usage - yes, yes I know! :)

Will be interesting to see what I can get out of this.

How does the phone feel in your hand now? Is it still balanced well? Or better perhaps?

I imagine a heavier device would feel more sturdy. How is the plastic casing? Is it as cheap feeling as the original?

And how strong is the standing arm and how securely does it stay in place?

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
i got 40hrs on my first charge.

with the new cover, i think it feels much better, easier to hold, much stronger and doesnt feel alot heavier.

the stand is pretty strong as long as you dont bend it, and fits in the back cover pretty good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
I have just ordered one of these as well, if the battery life lasts as near as long as the Cameron Sino one I am using, I'll be a happy man. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vormson:
i received the Momax 2700 yesterday, charged it all night and toke it off the charger 3 hours ago, it's now at 90% with wifi off, hsdpa on, about 30mins of music and another 10 online browsing.

The size and the added size feels just right for me, mainly because i've been used to heavier phones (n900, the communicator series etc)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Davith:
How long did yours take to arrive? I ordered one for myself as well. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Vormson:
ordered on the 2nd, shipped on the 7th and arrived on the 15th

Edit. After 27 hours, i'm still at 61% with a couple of hours of heavy usage. I'm loving it so far !
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Davith:
Just when I went and asked you this question I received mine yesterday morning. :p

Shipping took exactly 8 days, which I find insanely fast considering it was sent from Hong Kong.

Can't comment about battery life yet as it is too soon. I can comment about the external appearance though. To my suprise, it's not too big. It also looks good, much much better than the Mugen one which gives the back a strange square-shape look. The cover also fits very well, just as nice as the normal one. The kickstand seems solid enough, but I probably won't be using it much. The small pouch is also a nice little addition. No need to buy a new one.

The only minor downside is that the power button is a little harder to press as it seems a bit "buried" inside the back cover. Not too deep mind you, I can still do it with a single hand.

Very happy about that, especially for that price. Now I hope the battery itself will deliver. I usually last 2 days with normal use, 3 on light use. I'm hoping I'll be able to get an additional day out of it, maybe 2 on light use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
I'm glad you liked it, I'm gonna part with mine, I might be selling my i9000, it seems that I like to use windows 7 more, and not andriod, when I'm selling it, I'm also gonna give my goki. desktop battery charger, and ptu rubber sleeve.
