Well so far the first two charges are disappointing. I've gotten about 6 hours of heavy use from it when I was getting over 24 hours on the stock battery. However I will keep using it over the next week or so and see if life improves after its been "broken in".

Greetings all!!! There is an extended batter on ebay, 3200mAh MUGEN EXTENDED BATTERY FOR TMOBILE MYTOUCH 4G. Comes with custom back cover. Kind of pricey, but I'm thinking about it. Maybe you guys can help me investigate!!! Put it in the search, you guys will see it. Would love some feed back.

My 2 cents. Ugly as anything, but surely delivers.

A little update...
Battery is doing better. It seems to sustain very well when the phone is on standby. That is with the screen off and the phone just sitting doing nothing. As soon as I use it though it seems to drop pretty fast. I also noticed it takes longer to charge than my stock battery which is a good sign. I am also getting a little more time from it than I had been before. I have faith that it will turn out well especially for the money. I still plan on running some capacity tests when I feel the battery is performing as it should, and when im not so doped up on pain meds lol.

Some screen shots to show its current performance. You can tell when the screen is off its very stable but as soon as the screen goes on it drops like a ton of bricks.

Well what did you expect from a cheap, Chinese battery? My own saying is this- when it comes to things you will use A LOT, you really get what you pay for and memory and batteries are NOT something to skimp out on. Get a cheap case, cheap screenguard or none of these, but never get a cheap battery or sometimes memory cards.
I personally didn't expect much. I am doing this research for my fellow board members. Like you said. You get what you pay for.

Charged at 500mah
Took 163m 9s to charge
Starting voltage was 3.00
Charged voltage is 4.10
Took a total of 979mah worth of power
I believe the stock battery is 1500mah and this battery only took 979mah from a lower voltage than the phone will get it to before it shuts off. These are very low numbers. My suggestion is if your going to get this battery use it as an emergency backup and not an original. It does not perform as well as the stock one but for the price I paid to have it shipped from Hong Kong it would make a decent in case of emergency power source.

Buy the mugenpower 1650mAh battery, it's awesome.
I'd never buy those janky ebay batteries. I don't want my Glacier (and potentially my hand) going up in flames.

I don't know how you guys are getting that kind of battery life. Please provide more details? What defines "heavy use"? Is sync on during the day? Screen brightness?
For me, my screen is on auto, sync is on for google and facebook, facebook updates every hour automatically, and I get maybe eight to ten hours while browsing facebook, xda, and various games. It should be noted that I am getting these numbers at work, where my reception is not so great, so my phone constantly trying to find/hold a signal is very likely a leading culprit for battery drainage.

stock 1400 battery i got 4-6 hours tops
1700 mah red battery i could squeeze around 8-12 hrs
i just got a 3600 mah battery on ebay and easily hit 24 hrs+ now that it's calibrated, it might be a cheap alternative(only cost around 12$ after shipping) and add extra bulk to the phone due to the oversized battery plus new back cover but it beats the hell out of having to charge it 2-3 times a day. Only thing i dont like is not being able to use my trident aegis case with 3600 mah.

I change smartphones too much to justify the purchase of a device specific battery so I have gone the external battery route instead and I am very satisfied. I got the Duracell Instant Charger awhile back and I really enjoy it. Its small enough to fit in your pocket and charges your device using your existing USB cable. It is a 1150mah capacity battery so combined with the stock 1400 mah battery that should be plenty of juice to last you an entire day with relatively high usage. It has an output of 5V at 0.6A which is slightly above the standard USB 2.0 charging specification of 0.5. I'm pretty sure any External USB charger will do the trick, I just picked this one because it is small enough to fit in my pocket and charge my device without much bulge (probably no bulge at all if you have wider pockets). Duracell is also a pretty reputable brand when it comes to batteries so it seem like a safe route to go with them. Here is how it looks and how it compares to the size of the iPod Touch.
yeah, but they only have black color back cover so i dont think it would look good with my white phone

2Don't do it. Usually those off brand batteries are complete junk. Even if its cheap, its a waste of money.2
Hey, I realize this is a lot to ask, but I really need some help fixing some things around my house. I have a hole in the drywall in my master bathroom. Could you come to my house in Atlanta, GA and patch it up for me? I'm out of drywall patches, but fortunately, there's a Home Depot that you'll pass on your way here. Also, there is a stain in the carpet in my living room. I've tried and tried for hours to remove it, using everything from the cheap cleaner that I got at the local grocery store all the way up to using pure ammonia, which made me really sick. Do you think you could come over and clean it for me? If not, maybe you could stop in Dalton (it's local, only about 100 miles north of my house) and pick me up some new carpet. Also, by the time you get here, I'll probably be pretty hungry. Think you could stop and pick up some dinner? I like Mexican food. Three beef soft tacos and a plate of cheese nachos would be great! I know that's a lot to ask, but I really do want all this stuff, thanks.1These are the ones i got and i couldnt be happier with them....I know it says for thunderbolt but its the same battery for the mt4g...i have been able to get 2 days with out any problems at stock clock speed and about 27 hours at 1.5ghz.

I discharged it to its lowest safe voltage so I can get a reading of the maximum capacity it would take. I then popped it into charge mode and got these results...
Charged at 500mah
Took 163m 9s to charge
Starting voltage was 3.00
Charged voltage is 4.10
Took a total of 979mah worth of power
