I know, they are both way up there.....BUT if this thing can deliver a TRUE, say, 4000mAh AND keep the same form factor, I think it will be worth it, and it will be a MONSTER as far as battery life. This thing throws another stock battery on top of the 3200mAh Seido!:D

Of course this all remains to be seen...true mAh and form factor.
 
Lol... If it delivers on performance and looks like the HTC extended or better it would be hard to resist.

I'm with you... WoW!... just not sure if the price is worth a full day or more...I'd have to see some testing results first.. on both 3g network and 4g network.. along with heavy usage.. in order to make a final decision as to whether it'd be worth it or not..
 

My NewTrent 11000mah is cheaper and smaller than that battery :D

I wish someone would just make a 1800mah battery that fits with the regular battery door. I would be so happy.
 
Before you buy a Mugen extended battery, have a look at this battery life test. This guy got a bunch of OEM batteries, a bunch of aftermarket batteries (e.g., Seidio, Mugen), and a bunch of fake OEM batteries. He tested them against their advertised ratings. He found that the OEMs were pretty much true to their advertised ratings, within a few percentage points, while the aftermarkets fell well short of their inflated advertised ratings.

Check out the Nexus 1 section for example. The Seidio battery advertised 200 more mAh than the same size OEM (which itself delivered 97% of advertised), but delivered almost 50 mAh less (82% of advertised). And it cost double the OEM. And Mugen did worse than Seidio in these tests overall.

Another link from that page below the results table shows a 3000 mAh Mugen battery than had been peeled open to reveal two 1200 mAh batteries. You can do the math there. So if that photo shows what it appears to show, Mugen knew exactly what they were doing in that case.

Here's a MobileCrunch article ("Are third-party cell phone battery manufacturers deceiving their customers?") from 2010 that discusses the above test. The guy who did the tests can be found in the comments answering questions and giving additional info.
