Cool High capacity battery life - verdicts?

Hello as I've come to find out the Samsung Galaxy Ace is a great smartphone for the cheap price (especially with a custom ROM) - but the battery life sucks.

I've been checking eBay and Amazon etc and there seems to be quite a few high-capacity alternatives to the 1350mHz stock battery - I just wanted to know if anyone has had any bad experiences with these alarmingly cheap offerings - or whether they really are as good as they sound.

I can't post links as I'm new hear but if you head over to amazon.co.uk and search for "Ecell - GOLD 2430MAH s5830" you will see the one I'm particularly interested in.

I have been using these batteries for about 4 months now and I must say I'm pretty impressed. The battery life is a bit better than the OEM battery and it comes with three and a wall charger.

Just make sure you dont get a battery thats too cheap(yep there is such a thing ). The battery life isnt just determined by the capacity. You also need good quality cells, some battery's on amazon & ebay are cheap because they really are Cheap.
