incidentflux · Mar 14, 2012

Are these batteries reliable, could they cause any voltage issues later on?

Agreed! I bought 3 batteries with a stand alone charger for 15$ and the batteries are 1500ma not 1650ma but for 15$ good enough. Gotta love ebay and Hong Kong items.

PS: The 15$ includes the free shipping.

I brought the mugen battery, works pretty good. Now I'm changing devices so ill probably sell the battery.

How much more performance did you get out of it. Percentage and hours wise?

teradark · May 12, 2012

Well I'm a heavy user on some days and my job requires my cellphone, but I can go a full day without worry.

... this phone sucks power up. Which is kinda lame, but oh well I guess.

Just out of curiosity, why changing devices ?
The Captivate Glide has only been out since Nov 2011.
Was the additional 7mm an issue for pocket-ability or weight ?

Our contract ended so we are switching carriers.

i have the mugen 3600 mah battery. i purchased it from amazon and i tell u its the best thing i invested in. hands down its the longest battery i experienced on any device with purchasing a extendee battery. the only thing that lasted as longer was the mili case/external battery for the iphone 4s. other then that i easily get a day. im a heavy and i mean heavy user. i play online games, i play games on my phone listen to google music watch youtube, watch anime online. i basically do eveything on my phone. i easily get about 7 - 8 hours screen on time with no worries. trust me u wont be disappointed

Could someone who bought this battery take a screenshot of the size enlargement of the device when having the battery in it?

That video was extremely helpful. That's a big tradeoff to have to make, extended life for a much bulkier device. Intriguing though.

There's a slim extended battery as well, 1950mAh, which fits under the existing cover:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=66232
http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-1950mah-battery-for-att-samsung-captivate-glide/

So its either:
1950mAh slim extended, no added thickness, giving 18% more power.
OR
3600mAh fat extended with additional 7mm thickness, giving 118% more power.

I will definitely order one of these but still not sure which.

Good find, thanks.

I'll go for the 1950mAh slim, battery life is my only issue with this phone.

Edit: Bought the Mugen Power Extended 1950mAh via Google checkout.

Let us know how you like it and if you see a increase in battery life.

incidentflux · Jun 6, 2012

Sure... Ended up buying it from DayDeal.com with Amazon Payments. Google Checkout suspended my Wallet account, because my billing address wasn't US.

Amazon is carrying them too from the same sellers.

I bought an Andida Extended Life Slim Battery 2300mAh off ebay and its been working fine. The only draw back i had was that it does not fit with the original cover, i'm using an Empire phone case and it keeps the cover there.

How much extra real life are you getting out of it over the standard 1650mAh battery ?
