Extended Battery For Samsung Galaxy Note 2


Recommended Posts

I recently ordered an extended battery for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The battery is so awesome I thought I share it with you people who own a Note 2.

Thing thing got to me at 9:00am this morning and it had 58% charge. I wanted to drain the battery completely so I can star to "train" it to get the most out of it so I opened Netflix, turned "on" the GPS and the WIFI and began to play movies. I swear to my mother that after playing 5 movies, GPS and WIFI "on" and surfing the web, at 6:30pm this thing still had 28% battery left. It is now 12:19 midnight and with the battery on 8%, I was able to play 1 more Netflix movie and it finally died now. This thing is a monster.

Here's the battery and where I got it:

Would you be interested to test our battery?

I have seen your battery, but you charge $105.00 for it. The Hyperion 6400 mHa battery I got was $14.99 and does the same, exact thing yours does. It has nothing less than stellar reviews at Amazon, so why spend the extra $$$ on something that does the same thing as the one I got?

Hyperion has been making batteries for RC Cars and other remote control toys for years, so they got a good reputation.

If your battery is better than the Hyperion and does more things, then please, enlighten us and tell us what the difference is.

Pretty sure you don't need to train a li-ion battery, in fact running it all the way down could keep it from charging to full capacity.

FWIW, my understanding of battery technology today is that, much like defragmenting a solid-state drive, 'training' is an obsolete practice and could potentially cause harm. It's being dangerously encouraged by the Android hacking crowd that's been using custom recovery modes which offer a "reset battery stats" function, where users are instructed to run the battery to zero then full to 're-teach' it its limits.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

They only look stupid to people who care more about fashion looks, those people tend to be a bit childish to begin with.

I agree. What's the point in having a super thin cool looking phone if the battery will only last you 8 hours? Sure, the iPhone is cool and thin and so are other Android phones out there but turn on that GPS, the WIFI, make calls, text and I can assure you , by 2pm (if not earlier), your phone will go on panic mode and ask you for more juice.

This is no lie, I have had my Note 2 turned on with GPS, WIFI, calls, texts, since wednesday. It is Saturday now and I still have 71% battery left.

Does the Hyperion battery make my phone a little thicker on the back? Yes, but who cares. I don't have to worry about charging that sucker for days.

The Hyperion battery comes with a manual and on the back of the manual it says:

"For full battery performance, please discharge fully and re-charge at least 5 times."

I was thinking 'does anyone make extended batteries for my s3'?

After looking for one, and the price at the time, I simply decided to turn off the features I didn't need on all the time and just turn them on for a few minutes a few times a day to let it update.

Note, I don't have a problem with extended batteries and would probably get one if needed.

It's more individual preference these days, I just recycled my old laptop, that I bought 2nd hand, that had a lithium battery, and I can assure you, at least in my case, the battery at the time I got rid of it, didn't last much more than 20 or so minutes.

I tried the method people recommended, full discharge, etc.. nothing.

But the mobo failed, so I sold it to envirophone. But back to battery management, my N8 still had almost 6 days standby when I traded it in for my S3. A good rule of thumb from personal experience....

Let it go dead, charge it using your pc if possible, after 3 of these cycles, and the battery has gone dead agaij, charge the 4th time from the mains power. Or keep a spare battery if this is too impractical.

(I had to do this especially for my old n8 as it was a sealed unit.)

Hyperion makes an extended battery for the Galaxy S3 as well. Here you go:

Other brands that make extended batteries for the S3:

NOTE: My boss has an S3 and he bought the Hyperion extended battery and he loves it. He says the phone has been up and running for 3 days straight now, GPS, WIFI turned "on" plus his casual calling and texting and he still has 58% battery left. Those things just won't die. They are very good batteries.

Cool, the prices are more reasonable now, I'll look into getting one, thank you :)

And for the recommendation :)

Edit... doh!

Lol they were in US Dollars, I'll see if they're available as exports or if there is a UK stockist.

HOW!!??

What's the secret??

The secret?: Hyperion 6200 mHa battery.

Also remember, even though the GPS is turned "on", the phone will only start using it if an application such as Navigation requests it so even though it's turned "on", it's actually "sleeping" until requested by the app that wants to use it.

The Hyperion battery comes with a manual and on the back of the manual it says:

"For full battery performance, please discharge fully and re-charge at least 5 times."

I don't know if I'd trust the manual-writing expertise of a company with evidence against it of fraud:

Well, if that's the case then its time for a law suit for false advertisement.

Also, if the 6200mHa battery is a fake then its a damn good one because I am telling you dude, this thing will not die. I have been using the hell out of it and it's still almost full. Not even half way yet.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
