Nearly 24 hours on the new battery now, seems worse than stock. Quicker drain. Has gone through 2 half charge cycles (50% to 100%).

Thats to bad 2 hear! But anyhow, waiting for my battery to come, I will try to not get to disappointed about the battery, because the price was low. I will just see it as a spare battery that will make my GT-N7000 last longer in use when the stock battery runs out. But despite your comment iam still not convinced about it, because many other members do say it does have a small improvement of batterylife.. The comments are to mixed to judge..:silly:

An alleged 30% increase in battery capacity in the same form factor that's both cheap and from some shady no name company. Hrmmmmmm.

That 30% is not worth it, and probably is more like 20%. Not the same sort of reliability and consistency as a genuine battery, and have to gamble and pray for a "good" one and test it out to make sure it actually is good.

I bought a 1500mah battery for my old samsung slider back in the day. Same size as original, which was only 880mah. Lets just say the rating was a load of bull and I got worse performance than my original 880mah.

There are no breakthroughs in lithium tech, and definitely not at the low end price. Bigger phones are getting bigger batteries and getting lighter, but that's not because the battery is getting lighter, its just the rest of the phone...

Hi there, just thought I will share on this battery. My gold batt died after one charge cycle. Ever since that I've been using the anker 2700mah and I must say it's brilliant for the price. Gives approximately an extra hour compared to my anker 2700mah

Edit: Might want to consider the wall charger package. Really useful

Well, got the 3250 mAh batt now for a couple of days.
I notice a difference with the stock battery for sure. It last a bit longer than the stock.
I got the battery with a charge of 63 %. Used it till 1%, switched off the phone, fully let it recharge overnight, and after that did clear batterystats and battery calibration.
I love this battery! And it is def worth the 15 euros I payed for. Using my stock batt. for spare now...

    It's getting late......after a long day waiting for this 3250 mAh battery to go flat, here is my review for what it is worth.

    I have been searching for a month to find a battery that had the capability to last me all day. Not a bulky one! One that would fit within the original case. Not make my phone look pregnant.

    I wanted a battery that i could Take off charge at 8am being able to last me all day, with LIGHT to MEDIUM usage (not heavy use!), right up until I went to bed at 10 and put it back on charge.

    Is this the one??? (battery photos below)

    I sourced this one. It just about fits the phone. I had to peel the battery label off at all 4 corners to get it in. It's fits in fine with standard Samsung back on. No bulge. I put in straight into my phone and charged it up to 100% then took it off charge and restarted the phone.

    I'm not expecting amazing results on this first drain as I am more than aware it will take 3 to 4 cycles to gain it's full effectiveness. I am however expecting it to beat my standard battery display time on this first drain as it holda 34% more charge and then improve again after 3 more days use!

    My stock Samsung battery lasts normally 4 hours display time with light to medium use. I have google location turned off, brighteness to auto and i am running gingerbread LA6. Full Samsung stock fresh out of the box. No root. No mods at all. And I have all the Samsung crap turned on and registered. I have google email with 2 accounts running. I play the odd game, and text and email like crazy. I used Ebay app heavily and also surf the Web lots. There are widgets on all 7 screens running and I always have a heavy usage live wallpaper running.

    Phone finally starting to go flat... I will take screen shots of battery use and upload them. With my finally thoughts and finally 1st battery use screen shots as soon as it goes flat.

    And obviously I'll look forward to your valued thoughts and views and make use of your experience as I'm new to this.......hopefully won't be too long!

    Bye 4 now

    1st day results in.

    3250 video running test result

    finally finished testing the batteries:
    conditions: plane mode, dark room (night), non-stop video on MX Player, brightness 0, volume 0
    batteries:
    1. stock 250mAh (weight 50g), after 2 months of heavy use
    2. gold 3250mAh from lovetomorrow (weight 50g), after 1 charging cycle
    running times:
    1. stock 2500mAh: 7:40:39 on battery
    2. gold 3250mAh: 7:50:50 on battery -> 2% longer than the stock one, well within error margin

    screenshots attached


    PS. rerun of test in post 416

    So you have one of these batteries have you? you've tested it have you? Your the one who's fake. Making unfounded statements you drongo

    Sent from a noob on a new note

    Really? I was explaining what the other guy meant by fake. Its no Mystery cheapo batteries are sold with "fake " ratings its a scam no need to get defensive due to your ignorance! I made no personal pokes at you and to respond like that proves your less than intelligent. My battery results with stock battery are better than yours so i dont need to own one to know its junk...

    Enjoy spazzo

    Fair testing

    Hey,

    I see a lot discussion in here about these "Gold" 3250mAh. So, guess what, I did the testing. A reallife, straight forward one. I have no reason to lie ^^

    My test is simple: put everything to heavy usage e.g. full brightness, GPS, WIFI, Sync on, SetCPU to performance 1.4Ghz etc. The goal: suck the battery as quick as possible. Then I charged to 100% and run Riptide GP 3D game on a loop run and leave the screen to always on.

    Straight forward results with the battery I have:
    Gold 3250 mAh = ~3h10
    Samsun2500 mAh = ~3h10
    Anker 2600 mAh = ~3h10
    CS 5000m mAh (thick one) = ~6h30

    There you have it. Hope it helps ^^

    So, conclusion: what can you expect from a battery that weight the same, size the same and have the same technology as the Samsung one? well, the same capacity... You can dream of increased battery life in same weight and form factor, only if you have a better technology...

    PS: so, with this Gold battery, if you feel you have more capacity on normal usage, then either it is a placebo effect, or you had a lighter usage than usual by coincidence...

    Cheers,
    Denis

    I measured battery capacities using specialized device, which discharges the battery with the constant current. Knowing the current, time to discharge and monitoring battery voltage gives you real battery capacity. Battery with the claimed 3250 mAh capacity discharges quicker than the battery with 3000 mAh capacity, from a fully charged state at 4.2 V to 3.4V. In an attempt to get better sales some companies simply lie to their customers...
