They're not that cheap either -- most of their extended batteries costs about $25 and runs up to $100 for the high-capacity ones.

The guys from Mugen Power emailed me last week asking if I’d like to check out their line-up of extended batteries and so I told them I have around half a dozen smartphones. So they shipped me 4 extended batteries from Hong Kong — Optimus 2X, HD7, Xperia X10 and Desire, with varying battery capacities for each.

As expected of any extended battery packs, these batteries are huge (as in physically huge!) that they practically add twice the size and about 50% more of the weight of the handsets. The usual battery capacities of most smartphones nowadays are in the 1000mAh to 1,500mAh (that should last you about a day or two).

Mugen Power Battery starts at around 1800mAh up to a whopping 4,500mAh. I requested if they have one for the LG Optimus 2X and I was surprised to see the battery was rated at 4500mAh — that’s like having 3 fully charged batteries inside your handset. Of course, the unit looks a bit ugly once you slap them in (Mugen also includes the expanded battery cover).

They even have a 3800mAh extended battery for the Huawei E585. Imagine getting up to 10 hours on your pocket WiFi with this one. You can check out all their available extended batteries here.

They’re not that cheap either — most of their extended batteries costs about $25 and runs up to $100 for the high-capacity ones. Their store is in Hong Kong but they told me they ship to the Philippines as well.

I have yet to test out all these batteries for about a week or two and see if they really pack the power as promised by Mugen. Will post updates and results once I’m done. We’re also giving away a couple of these batteries after the tests (if you guys like them and have the respective handsets to use them with).

these batteries will surely turn your smartphones into remote controllers because of the bulk!

Hello Abe, am using a Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation now. After trying unsuccessfully to locate a Juice Pack case for iPhone 4. Bit of an epiphany for me: why buy a unique case that only supports one device? This will handle my 3DS and all the family cells, if one goes low batt on us.

Just make sure you don’t misplace the charge cable for your device ;)

At 3600 Mah, will handle an iPad charge cycle as well, and offers faster charge cycles than my wall charger delivers. Just got home last night, I’ll try and get you a real-world set of numbers for it later. For those that are interested, pair with an iPad car charger for best results. These deliver the charge most anything – I like Griffin’s designs.

Oh yeah, it’s a “pass-through” device – can charge or operate your gadgets while being charged itself. Again, iPad charger recommended – standard iPhone charger doesn’t provide enough juice.

Cheers!

Were you able to source the Mophie Juice pack here? If so, what store/site? Thanks.

Check out “KShowNow”. He’s cheating on Topblogs.com.ph to be no. 1. How? He also put the topblogs code in his other site “Noypistuff.”

leeto · 15 years ago

No need to buy that, just buy additional battery for your cp will do the job. As for me, I have 2 batteries for every cp that i have.

Maki · 15 years ago

hi may i have the battery pack for the desire once your done testing it? please? :)

Glenn Ong · 15 years ago

I’m not sure if it’s the same brand, but a friend has this battery extender/extra battery pack on his iPhone. It doubles as some sort of a phone protector/case too! It made it heavier though.

IC DeaDPiPoL · 15 years ago

Thinking if this is a better alternative (although still looking for a more reliable brand )

Maganda sana pero galing kasi sa Hong Kong. Baka kasi hindi maganda yung quality pagtumagal na pero okay ang battery power!

jdm · 15 years ago

im currently using Mugen 1800mAh for my Desire Z. the stock rating is 1300mAh. Its already almost a week. A full charge overnight can last up to 2-2.5 days with moderate to heavy use (except 3G)

i highly recommend this. It cost me almost 2.5k shipped. If you want to buy, i suggest a group buy to distribute for the shipping and tax! Yes. Custom tax. tsk tsk tsk

Buboy · 15 years ago

How much did you pay for the taxes? I’m planning to buy from their website but I’m having hesitations that Customs will charge me double the price. Thanks!
