Awesome, thanks for letting us know. I think you're the first to try one of those
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

I read some reviews of the battery in Amazon before I ordered it...saw some people mention using it in the epic...just wanted to share the news in case others didn't know.

I've had it for months. You will see the difference. It was stronger for the first week or 2 then lost some of its hold time but blows away my stock epic. I just ordered the anker 1800 from amazon for 11.99. Ill see how that one compares

I got the 2x Anker 1800 with charger for 22 bucks and they've been pretty good to me so far.

I think the OEM might hold it's life longer than Anker, I also have one and I enjoy having the small boost in battery life

This. Lol if it was only $9 more for OEM it was more than worth it.

Clue, how much did you pay for an OEM 1800, if you don't mind me asking?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Paid $21...free shipping. Amazon...

Guess I'm the lucky one. My local Sprint store rep just handed me one and said, "Here ya go! Let me know how it works for ya!"
So far, battery life is MUCH better on CM9/AOKP vs. stock battery.

You can get 2 1800mah batteries on eBay for $12 and free shipping.
Also I've heard talk of a compatible 3500mah battery on Amazon (?). Going to check that out today.

Those are not genuine oem batteries. They are Hong Kong knock offs.

I want to verify that we are talking about using a battery designed for an Epic touch in and Epic slider. I have an SPH D700 that I need the best battery I can find without the backside footprint of the phone changing. Otherwise I wont be able to dock in my car anymore
I use the mp3 feature of my phone, all day, every day (podcasts and audible). Within weeks of a new battery (stock) I barely make it til 2pm before having to charge. If I can't find a battery that can carry the load I'm going to just have two and a drop in charger, switching them out during my usually 10 hour long work days.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Yes the Epic Touch Galaxy S2 1800 mAh battery fits perfectly and gives you 20% more battery life.

so the battery life is better i bought one and had overheating issues and never went back

Is my battery life crappy because I made a mistake?

I let the thing drain until it turned off, then turned it back on and drain some more then charged it while it was off when I first got it.. should I get a new battery because right now I can barely last 8 hours with set cpu and all the stuff.. Ive done many calibration things but no change..

I think it's unlikely you ruined your battery but it couldn't hurt to swap it out at a Sprint store, I'm sure they would do that for you
Is it free?

Getting the battery to too low of a voltage can damage it, yes. It's unlikely you actually managed that though.

Extended Protective Battery Case

I want to get a extended battery but haven't found a protective case anywhere for it. I don't want to get a extended battery if I can't find a extended case for it. Any suggestions anyone?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Usually the case comes with the battery. Probably goes best in accessory section
sent from my touchwiz 4.5-ed epic
The battery comes with an extended door. I've never actually come across cases for phones with extended doors.

There r actually two different items I bought the case on accident thinking it was the one w/ the battery but I use it a lot whenever I do use my extended battery.
edit: I am sorry because i guess they do not make it anymore, but I would email them because they did produce one at one time.

I think so, but even though...
I see it this way... at this price, it's worth the risk, especially since the fakes usually sound as good as the real ones, and since these are the iBeats that came free with certain phones... it's not gonna be heard to match/beat
Are these even worth it? I've got Dolby surround headphones right now and they are perfect. Plus, they are durable and only cost me $10.

Extended Battery Finds?

So, now that I've realized and begun the painful process of accepting my battery won't make it until my bed time (11ish). Anyone get a good find on an extended battery. Preferably one that doesn't require added bulk. A 2500 mah that fits the stock slot would be soooo nice
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Also interested in this. The phone is so thin a bigger battery might not add too much bulk anyway. Any word on official extended battery?
Just buy a spare battery.

Nope, I went through that with a captivate. Not gonna keep switching, its too much work especially with a case
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Do a search in this or the Q&A forum. There was someone who found an expensive one but he was getting something like 40 hours usage! The battery comes with its own battery cover that will replace the stock cover.

I'm trying to avoid adding bulk. However, what's the best one that would require a cover?

Hmm isn't that only 100mah more than stock ? Seems completely pointless , what we need is at least 2500mah or above to get a benefit

Extended batteries are nice, but you can never find a decent case to fit one. I'll go through the trouble of pulling off my case to pop in my spare battery. :cyclops:
There's already a thread on this in q&a which is where this belongs. Maybe a mod can merge this
