Extended Battery Mugan Power 3600 mAh

---

Has anyone ordered/tried this battery yet? It seems super bulky but I need something that'll at least get me 24 hours of life and I don't think the 1800 one will do it.

You can get a coupe of stock batteries plus an external charger for about 10 bucks on ebay, I dunno why you would wanna spend $100 on that thing, the added bulk and weight on an already big device would suck ass

I don't know, it just seems like a pain to carry all these extra things. We'll see though. @_@

I'll probably check this out. I've owned some truly bulky Sidekicks and never sweated the weight or bulk.

I was thinking of ordering one of these, anyone tried it out yet? Is it worth buying?

Yes. Have one.

Weighs about the same as a Sidekick LX and the device is now about the same thickness as a Sidekick 2/3. If either of those things make you feel uncomfortable, the battery isn't for you.

Shipping from Hong Kong takes forever and I have heard rumors of spotty quality control down at Mugen. There are some people around the forums that have had to return defective batteries. (My guess is that it is not a pleasant place to work and the hours are long. So, be patient.) With that said, I'm happy to report no problems so far.

After a few charges, you will start to see the benefits of the extra juice. Don't bother trying to calibrate the battery yourself, I have found that deleting the battery stat file actually makes the device expect the stock battery. All you can do is follow the instructions that come with your battery.

The extra capacity is nice and I don't mind the extra bulk. You'll have to decide if the trade off is worth it. Good luck.

orange808, how much longer does your battery last now? xmeatismurderx, links for extra batteries and charger on ebay?

ive had it for a few months, i love it i airbrushed the case to match my phone and depending on rom/usage/other facotrs i can easily go for 1 day one weekend i went for 36 hrs with light use and juice defender on and it still had some juice left

Sorry about the late reply..

With moderate use, I have to charge my phone every other day right now. 36 hours is about right for general use.

Heavy or constant use is about 10-12 hours. The display seems to eat the most battery, so this applies to just about any tasks that I do on the device.

My results may not refect what you would get. I have removed all of the built in T-Mo and Zipwip software. I use Voodoo sound on top of the stock kernel (no V6SC mod). I use Green Power to manage my data.

Hope this helps.

I have the 1800mAh battery in my Sidekick. It was just the bump that my device needed. I can go a full day easily doing what I need to do. I'm running Glorious Overdose V1 as my ROM and am using K9 Email with IMAP IDLE enabled which is a battery hog IMO but I need my push email. The nice things about the 1800 versus the larger batteries are a lower price and it fits inside the stock cover.
