True..buy Ace if you find battery life is everything for you..

You can't compare Galaxy S2 with Ace..both at different level..you are comparing - Example AUDI A6 3.0 TFSI with Altis 1.8E doh.gif

MUGEN, a very good and proven reliable battery maker offer its MUgen 3500 mAH at US$ 100

Spiderfoot offer is US$10

So just use your intelligence to gauge how good, reliable, lasting is Spiderfoot

I always advise if you want to use such cheap alternative batteries, do not charge these batteries inside the phone. Use those external charger docks to do it and in ebay plentiful, darn cheap US$3-5 only
I really doubt the quality and sensitivity of the supposedly built in power chip to cutoff charging. Sometimes I wonder whether there is any chip builtin. Of course they advertised there is
*
There's also claims that Mugen is simply over-priced these days. I've used their batts before, and while they did last about the same as Oris (same size extended cap BL-4L for the E71/N810), the electrical contacts on those were fragile as heck, IMHO, and it would frequently NOT WORK with my N810 unless spacers were used to tighten the fit of the battery against the cell contacts. Cells lasted okay though.

There's also the batteryboss controvesy (google for info).

And while I don't condone the Spider-Foot extended, so far the guys using 'em at XDA has not had a problem yet (VS the 2000mah Adinda that fried this ONE guy's SGS2). Cap has been measured with proper equipment too (it's actually 2450mah or so). BUT I have doubts TOO that the SF batts would last that long, I mean RM30??!

Just for the sake of testing, I have a couple on order. Will be pitting them against the Momax 2700mah eXpower that's I already have OTW and (if I get lucky), the Samsung 2000mah. Heck, I'll test the Mugen too if anybody game to lend me a unit.

One thing about Momax though, they have enough balls not to be caught up in the mah race. Look at their batts and you know (1400mah and 2700mah). IT feels like they're being realistically honest about it, because, it's always easier to lie about capacity (ehm, Adinda). Prices are NOT cekik darah too (ehm, Mugen).

Shame Sedio has no expacks out yet, as they make good quality, well priced batts too, and cases to match.

I have very good experience with Mugen and I never hesitate to pay a premium for it. Have been using their battery for the about 10 years on my Windows Mobiles to Androids. NO complains at all. Yes I agree is overpriced. But if you compare it to Samsung original battery price, it is not that overpriced, I'd said is fair. Anyway Samsung original battery is indeed overpriced so comparatively along same argument, Mugen is overpriced

The guy who use the Andida is just plain unlucky I'd say. I also bought 2 units of the Andida 2000mAH from a fellow user here, and I can postively say is definitely not 2000mAH. It still perform well, about an hourv less versus the original. But what is there to complain for a RM30 battery compared to Samsung original RM 130

I have also order Momax 2700 and Mugen 3500 - hopefully will get it by next week

If this is critical issue, buy a blackberry or Nokia symbian phone
I have used it for 4 months + and has yet to burn my hands or burn my ears. It is NOT hot - when you say hot we are talking about temperatures above 60 degree
Operating temperatures ranges from 25 degree at idle to 40+. EXtreme temperature I have hit is 48 when using it as wireless hotspot and GPS
If you cannot accept these ranges, you can forget getting any dual core Android

I use 2A charger and I dont believe those theories it will spoil phone. I have been using the 2A for even my previous low eed Androids and Windows Mobiles. I used 2A as I need not switch car charger as it can charge all my tablets too ( which need 2A). But I don't use those capalang brand - I use Griffin and Kensington . Is definitely faster than those normal car charger ( 500mA) or mid range (1A)

According to what I found, our human skin will burn when touch something around 140 degree Fahrenheit = 60 degree Celsius for over 6 seconds..

So far, I didnt see any user report that Galaxy S2 generate heat more than 60 Celcius..If yes, its only inner part of phone, not the casing that we hold icon_rolleyes.gif

I got my original Korean stock (supposedly) batts from exportprive for RM60 each, and the new 2000mah packs can be had for about 190 WITH postage from an XDA member in Slovenia (which means that local price should be better at least), so I wouldn't say that Samsung batts are THAT expensive.

Unless the local distro and shops jack the price up la (like they already do with ALL original accessories). I mean I got the ori charging stand for RM35 (local price: 80), and the HDMI cable for RM90.

Granted of course, my "warranty" involves sending stuff back to Exportprive lol. Which I agree might be a hassle to some.

Anyways, at least you're gonna have both the Mugen and the Momax so can test against each other.

I'm talking about 3 pin charger which use at home..not car charger..
so conclusion is higher Ampere can charge faster? As I know, SGS II running ninpo kernel can support 800mA..so which mean 1A and 2A charger should be charge at same speed right? wink.gif
