    4600mAh Extended Battery for Galaxy S3

    I bought the battery directly from Mugen's website, and used a transparent, unbiased, calibrated, repeatable, minimal variable test to analyze the battery, along with opening it up and showing it had the markings of a lesser capacity battery, and performs like one too. My tests are more...

    Seidio Releases 3500 mAh Extended Life Battery for Galaxy S3 [NFC Now Available!]

    Is there a new one? The one I tested (120D) is fine at 1A charge rate, but looks ugly at 2.1A.

    4600mAh Extended Battery for Galaxy S3

    The mugen battery is only 4200mah and ridiculously overpriced. I bought tested, and reviewed the battery. The back case is disappointingly shoddy for the price. If you want a cool case, try the seidio one... but you'll have to call them up and order a "replacement"

    To calibrate it, discharge until the phone turns off, then charge the battery. Preferably with the phone off - the point is to charge it fully in one shot.

    Seidio Releases 3500 mAh Extended Life Battery for Galaxy S3 [NFC Now Available!]

    Yes, the seidio cover will work for the gorilla gadgets battery. The seidio battery is 10.7mm or so.

    I tested and reviewed that New Trent IMP120D portable battery charter that was discussed earlier in the thread. Short version is, the capacity is as advertised. However, the 2.1A output has some issues...

    That's only the case - the Seidio battery cover is required, too. I can't post links yet, but go to this tinyurl to find the Seidio battery cover (it's hard to find on the site, took me a while) dxc4fgy. The Seidio battery cover should work with the Hyperion battery.

    Seidio Releases 3500 mAh Extended Life Battery for Galaxy S3 [NFC Now Available!]

    Cycling is useful to reset the internal fuel gauge, from charge, full discharge, then full charge. Best without any discharges or other breaks while doing that. And, it's only useful once in a while, and it's best to keep the cycle depth as shallow as possible... aka don't purposefully cycle...

    Seidio Releases 3500 mAh Extended Life Battery for Galaxy S3 [NFC Now Available!]

    I'm a cat... But I try. How many people know how to convert the 12000mAh rating for the charger into usable output at the usb port?

    Funny. I ordered a Trent IMP120D to test a couple days ago. I just got a shipment email for it.

    I don't know of any Hyperion holster, but keep in mind that Hyperion and QCell use the same door, so accessories should be cross-compatible. I don't think there's a QCell holster, though. I measured the Seidio battery and the Hyperion batteries just now, and to my surprise, one of the Hyperion...

    4600mAh Extended Battery for Galaxy S3

    You are correct! After being scammed by QCell using short batteries and plastic shims to fill in the space, I bought 2 battery analyzers (CBA-III & CBA-IV) and a bunch of extended batteries and tested them. I wanted to answer the question, "What makes Mugen's $88 battery so special?" Well...

    Re: [**UPDATED Seidio 3500mAH Times**]Ultimate Battery List with Cases for Extended batteries I did tests with all the batteries, and more with my CBA-III and CBA-IV battery analyzers. And took a bunch of pics. I'll start out easy, here are the capacity charts and discharge lines for the...

    Seidio Releases 3500 mAh Extended Life Battery for Galaxy S3 [NFC Now Available!]

    I bought the same EZOPower battery from BargainCell myself, and it's definitely a good battery. These are my testing results for the ezopower battery and the seidio battery: It's rated for 4200mAh, but with a 500mA load, delivers 4350mAh.
