Mugen Extended Use Battery for Commando

E

eltee

Newbie
I've had my Mugen 1800 mAh battery for several days. I fits into the standard back.

I don't have any way to gauge its power or storage capacity other than to say under my normal usage patterns it has not needed a charge in three days, whereas my standard battery needed to hit the charger at least every other day. I am going to let it run down to zero (per the instructions) before charging it up again.

No heat problems that I have noticed.

So far, so good. :cool:
 
+1 Me to.
Sounds good.:)
Can you link us? Ha,Ha when I do a search all I get is this thread popping up so far. Google and Mugens site returns nada for commando or c771 or casio.
EDIT: Now I found a 1700mAh, but you said 1800, right?
OK, one pic says 1800 another 1700 and no price I can see, keepin' lookin'

You spelled Beatles wrong:rolleyes:
Seriously tho, you going to put out the cash for that batt? I'd like to hear one more review if possible so your up Rafael.:p If I was getting a day and a half before with the oem as eltee said , I'd be pretty happy. I usually charge once during the day as it is, but I also just don't want to get caught short. Gadzooks tho, 45 bucks! Dang!:eek:

Can't get anything right tonight! :D

Money is tight......can't do the battery thing just yet, as much as I would like to.

It's strange though....I went to Mugens website and I could not find the C771 battery. Maybe they have not updated the site yet?
 
The question came up as to why it is not on the mugen site. I emailed them and got this reply:


Thank you for your email!

Yes, this is the real one too, our site here is only for the popular PDA smartphone battery.

Some for the model we sell it on Amazon and ebay too.

Please contact me if you need any additional info.

Best Regards,

Jan

exactly!
 
I'd actually like to get one, but that price for a battery
is just very steeeeep for meee. :cool:

Now that you've had it for a while eltee,
any further comments on it?
 
Compared to the OEM battery, this thing is pretty amazing. My normal usage is likely way less than most users. Being my first smart phone, I am not up to the level where I am constantly texting, surfing, etc. I pretty much use it the same as my G'zOne Ravine plus a little more.

That said, I am still on my initial charge. :eek:

The instructions say to let it discharge completely to cycle it, and I am trying.

So far it has lasted 4 x longer than the OEM battery under the same usage level. No issues with over heating, cutting out, etc. Very pleased at this point, I still am surprised every time I check the battery indicator and see lots of green.

That's a glowing review. I think you should send it to me to use for a year or two. :D
 
"This seller is currently away until October 22, 2011, and is not processing orders at this time. You can add this item to your watch list to purchase later."

eltee, could you post another battery performance report in about a week or so? If your experience is still positive, I might spring for it.

Thanks
David
 
X2.
My bad Eltee, I thought your initial post was a bit older.
That's what I get for not looking at the date. :o
The fact that it's lasting as long as you've stated so far is pretty dang good though.
That would definitely be a great "road battery" for me because I
hate having to bring a charger along. :)

Also:
Check your email.
I sent that boosted tone to you this afternoon. ;)
 
How true sector, but I'm one of those guys who prefers to never open the back door. ;)
It's always tempting to get an extended, but begs the question, "why the heck don't they put the bigger battery in there from the beginning?"
They probably get cash kickbacks from the mugens's and seidio's out there.
I did have an 1800mAh extended on my old BB bold and it made a very nicely noticeable diff from the oem 1450.
I have two pods and a car charger for my commando, so I'm pretty well set. Think I'll be keeping my cash for now at least ;)
