Battery Full 3500mAh battery for TEN bucks?!?

I was searching through Amazon and found this battery by Hyperion. Anyone willing to test it? I would, but my Mugen and my Qcell are good enough for me.

Too bad the shipping is $4.49 and it's not a Prime eligible item or i'd be all over it...
Nothing comes close to my Nokia 5110.....

If I had not just ordered one of those 2450 mAh "Gold" batteries, I would jump all over this. My only issue is the need for a bump in the cover. I know it isn't huge, but it still adds extra thickness and just doesn't look as nice.

Once again, if you don't want a phone that you know is in your hand or case and will break on the slightest impact, get an iPhone.

iPhone is a "piece of art" Hence, in theory it may be a phone too, but as a "piece of art" it supposed to be stared at, not used...


Good find with this battery, blackknightavalon!
Seller's images on amazon:



I had some "Hyperion" battery (assuming it is the same brand?) for one of my old phones and it worked fine.
I may buy it, however it won't fit into my holster or my "night table stand" (dock) anymore... gotta think about it.
Certainly price is excellent.

Just remember my criticism of the Qcell battery. That one may last as long as a Mugen but sudden, violent shakes causes it to fall off the leads. Buyer beware.

Default Just Ordered Two

Hey everyone, been reading these boards for a long time, first time posting. Awesome site, very informative. I just rooted my 4g Slide with CM9 and after two days of relatively fast battery drain, have ordered two of these. Once they arrive, I can let you all know how they turn out. Any recommendations for a good screenshot tool?

EDIT: Nevermind, CM9 has a screenshot tool built in, just found it.

Go with "screenshot" by Kastor Soft. Much more versatile.

New batteries came in yesterday, I took some pictures that I'll post later but they're at home right now As a comparison, they're about twice as thick as the OEM batteries so they're going to add some weight to your phone. So far after 4 hours, made one phone call, checked my FB app a few times (Friendcaster) and my weather app but haven't done a whole lot more, the battery is down to 92% which is much better than the OEM running CM9 where I'd probably be down to around 70% by now. I'm not looking for a miracle, just hoping the charge will last me the day.

If anyone can let me know how to post these pics in the message instead of uploading as an attachment, it would be a help. I'm being asked for a URL...am I supposed to upload the pic to another site first?
