Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A
 

No i don't think so, it's like the 'londonmagicstore' with their battery's, they have 2 kind, 1000mAh & 1500mAh, the 1000mAh are real, the 1500mAh are the 1000mAh with a cover saying 1500mAh

And if you out there are board or something, you could contact them and say you know they sell fake battery's and such :D

Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A
 

Ah, I see what's going on - a crooked company BUT what your data shows, is that they do make a rather good 1350 mAh battery.....

Was it an eBay advert? And I am not sure how bOred I am :)

They also have an ebay page, where they only ship to US......

Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A
 

Ok 1 cycle is almost complete and so far it is at 1450mAh, so it has just hit 2 place, will update this post for every cycle.

01 Cycle = 1460mAh (1465)
02 Cycle = 1410mAh (1416)
03 Cycle = 1410mAh (1414)

im calling it at 1410mAh, guess 1 cycle was a bit of a fluke.... but i don't see this battery reaching 2250mAh at all, even after 10 cycles, more likely will be that it will drop to 1400mAh then, since it is loosing a few mAh every cycle, like most lithium battery do the first 10-30 cycles

NOTE: The numbers have been as always rounded down to the closest 10

disappointing but great to have a verdict. and at least its better than the original battery.
has the pricing for the scuds changed? they dong seem to be avai!able @ 17$ for 2 anymore?

Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A
 

Seems to be sold out by that seller who had that price (Fire Union).

Another seller has 1 for $13. Still not a bad price for a good battery. But you can get Japod for $8.40 on Manafont.com and I don't know if the Scud will be so much better to be worth the difference in that price.

Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A
 

Do you guys know a good site for SCUD batteries when shipping to Europe (netherlands) preferably by one or max. a bulk of two? Most links ive seen have rediculous shipping prices to europe.

Anyone near my region perhaps willing to split buy a small bulk? :)

Link to buy 1x Scud right now.

From my view the best battery is still SCUD, even if you will have to pay 15$ for 1x, the fact is that it has 140mAh more then the japod and this will mean alot in the end of the day, this is again 10% more.
Remember 'stlpaul' being very happy about the effect of the japod, and it only has 50mAh more then stock, the Scud has a massive 190mAh more then stock battery (1320mAh).
And if you do the dual version it is even more, you have seen the runtime i have with everything enabled (no power saving at all!!!)

I will for the fun of it do 10 cycles on the 2250mAh battery, and yes this is still not a bad battery considering that it comes in second on the list, but still it cost 15$ and this is more then what you will pay for the SCUD that still has 100mAh more.

So to conclude for now, Scud is still the best choice.

Thanks, but nor for me it seems :/ shipping costs are outrageous compared to battery pricing. Location: Netherlands.

Total Price:
$13.47 x 1 + $21.21 = US $34.68

Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A
 

Blimey, there is no free China Post option to the Netherlands! What did you folk do to China Post to deserve that? Weird - all your neighbours and near neighbours have the China Post option. I would query the omission with the seller frankly.

I assume that most used the free China Post option and had no problems, right?
