Both those images are the N97's one. The only image we have so far (AFAIK) for the N900 version is the "draft photo" on the Mugen site, which shows absolutely nothing useful.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

True... But it looking at the shape, it shouldn't be too far off.... (Doesn't explain why they don't have an actual picture though)

Just need to wait :) - not understanding the people complaining about it looking ugly as the draft is a draft not a product though!

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Assuming the overall thickness of the device with extended Mugen battery is 25mm, that's 5.5mm thicker than it currently is (19.5mm at camera "hump") which suggests the draft photo is more or less accurate, at least in terms of size (too early to say if the kick-stand will be added in the final product).

My guess is Mugen are going after the uber hardcore user that doesn't mind carrying or being seen with an unattractive half-ton brick, and maybe that's enough to justify the development costs but I'd have thought a replacement battery with a more modest capacity increase that only extended the back to make it flush with the camera would have been a sure-fire winner.

jeez i dont need that bulky fellow on my phone, i just carry a dc-11 charger, that gives me time to look for an outlet and charge via wall charger.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

all i have to say is this.............

I'd rather have a frontal lobotomy
than to buy mugen battery pack monstrosity

enuff said

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Thanks for feeling the need to bump a 3 month old thread to say so.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

After 2 months, I am still happy with my (182% comparing to normal) Mugen 2400 mAh battery.

Just yesterday used GPS tracking and web access (Mappero) for constant 6 hours and there were no possibility to charge from wall outlets during that time. With normal factory battery this would not have been possible.

This thread has typo in the subject line?

Also there is the thread with more info and usage graphs.:

Pugh, Pugh Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

The Pughs were twins.

Hugh! Is if I remember it right, widely known as the primal scream of a depressed castrated monkey. It has little or nothing to do with oversized Nokia batteries.

BTW, is there a backpack included when you buy that battery?

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

i been waiting for some sort of replacement battery however mugen seems to be the only thing out there.... and atleast zimon is happy so to me this thredad is worth bumping...... is there anymore happy mugen users despite its size and weigh

in reality the stock battery is usless i have a powerful phone and to get mileage i have to trn off all functionality to have a little battery life remaining... well that defeats the whole purpose of having a full package communication phone... it would be better to buy a nokia 3210.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Well, they *could* make a better back cover. But they did not, so i am not buying it.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

The size is not bothersome while using it. I keep mine for special occasions.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Does the memory card still work while using the bigger batt?

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Yes it works now with the redesigned back cover, also camera.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Ah good! Nothing I hate more than not being able to have a play cos your concerned about when you can next charge it next..

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

I've purchased several Mugen extended batteries for previous devices (N95 and N810) and had no problems with the batteries themselves, but the quality of the covers in both cases left much to be desired. In both instances, I had problems with the plastic latch hooks coming off or failing to adequately secure the cover to the device.

There is great potential for an extended capacity battery and a cover that fixes some of they issues with the N900's poorly engineered official cover. Namely, including a full device width kickstand with multiple lockable angles, a camera cover that doesn't actively interfere with taking a proper photo (haze effect) and make sure the cover lets the n900 lay perfectly flat and level on a desk. It would be nice if it was somewhat rubberized so that it stays put, too.

Unfortunately, even the revised version 2 cover that Mugen started shipping leaves much to be desired. Given my experience, I really don't trust them to engineer a cover I would want to buy.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

I didn't have any problems with my N810 Mugen cover and haven't had any with this.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Ive got one a few days ago and I'm loving the 8+ hours of nonstop Internet/angry birds use! Before it i would be back to the charger at least twice a day.

Also call me mad but I kinda like that it's more brick like now! Yep nuts I know but at least people know now it's not just a 'phone' trying to do everything but a powerhouse device able to do anything.

Lol thats how I see it anyway. (and going on feedback received)

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

how much heavier does it become (approx)?

how long does it take to fully load the battery?

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

just got the email from mugen in: The HLI-N900XL battery weighs 51gr and adds 6mm to the width of your device

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Using the Nokia charger it would be done in three hrs give or take.

I use a lower rated 500mh charger, it takes longer but as it's it's over night its fine.

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
 

Can you post some photos of this ... beast? :)

Re: Mugen hugh capacity batteries
