Yeah, dr_frost_dk delivers a meaningful service of a kind that makes tmo worthwhile. Buying a non-nokia battery would be a lottery without the thread. The "320mAh" specimen is a hoot in point...
I know there is a thanks button, but sometimes one simply must write it out.

If you want a good, reliable extended battery, get one from Mugen Power.
I've been using it for half a year now, and very satisfied.
2400 mAh, very long standby and more than a full day of extensive use (many hours of continuous browsing, music, whatever). I've never had it go dead on me during the day yet.
It DOES make your phone quite bulky (thickness increase of around 50%), and it doesn't have a lens cover in the back - however the lens is very deeply recessed and I've yet to get a scratch of any kind on it. Just dust.

These XL packs are sold for a reason - so that the end user doesn't have to do it all himself

if i paid the same rate for my EV battery then it would be more expensive then gasoline with a high fuel consumption

I believe he meant the mugen was "a tad expensive".... but the expense saved him having "to do it all himself"...

At least one person has failed to make the bigger battery DIY-way destroying the battery, so it is not so easy for everyone. us$100 is not so much when you doesn't have to tress out being afraid of the fireball in the future, if you are not sure what you are doing.
I have made two of these batteries with two different methods. The first one really I couldn't recommend to average joe. The second easier hack is more doable for everyone, but still if one do not want to worry and has the money, go buy an original Mugen battery.
