Default Mugen 1800 MaH

This battery is GOAT... highly recommend it and I'm not done conditioning it. With heavy use I'm at end of day 2...Got 2.5 days of minimal use of email, twitter, FB and browsing (NFL Live vids too); on first charge. The 2 day limit was with one day full of emails that would come every 15-20 mins and price is pretty damn good too.

Let me know your thoughts!

How much extra bulk, if any, does this battery add to the phone?

this battery is the same size as stock so other than a possible slight difference in weight should feel the same.

I've been waiting to hear reports of this one, ordering now. I will post back with the results once I receive it in.. 5-10 business days.

my guess is once it's conditioned after several power cycles, etc I'm going to get 1.5- 2 days on a single charge which is better than the .5 - 1 day I got with the stock battery on a single charge and moderate - heavy phone use (mostly data and texting, some phone).

I've been using a Mugen battery for the past two weeks and I can say that it's a huge difference from the stock battery. My phone gets heavy use and I used to have to charge it in the middle of the afternoon to make it through the day. Now when I get in bed around 11:30 I still have about 33% remaining. These are definitely worth the purchase. Just make sure to condition it properly...

Sounds great. How do you condition the phone "properly"?
