Extended battery - Need Advice! Please!

I have a LG Connect 4G from MetroPcs,and itworks GREAT. I upgraded from a Samsung Admire,and its fast,i can download any app i want,and has a lot ofRAM space. The battery it came with dies really quickly,so i had gotten a 3500mAh extended batteryforit. It works just fine,but shortly after i hadgotten it,a 3900mAh extended battery came out. I plan on keeping this phonefora longtime,and want to do what i can with it. 3500 vs 3900 Theyre the same sizes,so the bulkyness is not an issue.
I wanna know,which one is the best choice?
Is there any better or higher mAh battery for the LG Connect?


And if someone can please,tell me where i can find the lowest price 32GB micro SD? And good looking phone cases for a bulky phone,caused by the extended battery?
 
Wow, I was having the same problem. I've just bought me a Lg Connect on Ebay and paid $164.95 for it (Bidding) and It'll be here on Thursday. I knew once I got the phone I would need an Extended Battery for it, so I bought this one: Amazon.com: QCell MetroPCS LG Connect 4G MS840 3850mAh Extended Battery + FREE Battery Cover! (NOT compatible with LG Spectrum / LG Thrill / LG Esteem): Cell Phones & Accessories - I've heard someone on here say they gets up to 16 hours on it. Also, check out the reviews on the amazon page below. Everyone is saying that the battery is worth paying for. I can't wait til' my connect get's here :)
 
The LG Connect is a REALLY awesome phone :)
I really like it,thats why im going after the best stuff for it :/
I saw shortly after the 3900mAh come out after i got the 3500,and i got so sad :( and mad. Lol.
But,hopefully ill get a reveiw of some kind on it.
Ill check out what you put :).
 
i have the 3850mah and its great but it turns out that the stated mah is not always accurate and from what i've have read from a dev who made this battery monitor widget i bought off the market is that the actual capacity of most extended batteries are not gonna be as advertised.

it turns out that my 3850mah is actually about a 2600mah. still, it works great and i can easily get through the day with this battery doing things that would've killed my stock battery in a matter of a few hours.

i'd say if you have the 3500mah you should stick with that. people with the 3500mah have reported great battery life and its actual capacity may be the same as my 3850 or the 3900.

The w i used the battery monitor widget ive been testing all my batteties with it. first ot gave me 3100 mah but after a few full discharge and recharge it started showing 3900 with a 12% error range pretty impressive its been constant regardless of what 1A charger i use. maybe u got a bad batch? it may be my external charger that popped its cherry of 3100?

My 3500 is decent,but its been weird lately. Ive been hearing around online that 3900 was the best.
I use my phone for alot,and just wanna find a battery to help me do that.

What do you do with your phone and how many hours do you get out of your battery?

Well i play a few games here and there,and use the web quite abit.
When not using the phone,i had gotten 12hrs.
But like i said,im on my phone alot (no computer).
I've had it off the charger since 8am,it is now 4pm.
So its good,just seeing if there is better.

I agree.. stick with the 3500 and charge it fully about 5 times after it was discharged under normal use... this should take about 6 days or so.. I have the 3500 and so far today I have used it about 18 hours and I have 10% left.
 
As an addendum, I think it is great that I can charge in far less than 4 hours a battery that is giving me 12-18+ hours of use and that is what I see with the 3500 and the A/C USB charger.

you'll have to be more specific. what are you doing on the web and for how long? what type of games do you play and for how long?

so you're saying that when you do use the phone your battery lasts less than 12 hours?

i stream iheartradio for 2 and a half hours a day or more, make very short phones calls throughout the day(only a minute long) and play videos that are on my SDcard for maybe a total of an hour a day and i go home with with around 30% battery left being on battery for 15 hours.

the AC USB charger is what came with your phone. do you charge your phone by plugging it into the wall or your computer?

I play games from the market. Like Robotek,draw something,wordfeud,hello kitty,and stupid zombies. I really dont play that long,just here and there.
And i watch netflix sometimes.
I also like watching youtube.
I surf the internet a bit a day.
Facebook,took at stuff online,ect.
And i do all this throughout the day. Not all at once.
And i plug it into the wall,i have no computer.
 
If you do a lot of video streaming and gaming throughout the day you're gonna get 10 hours or more out of the battery. Going with a higher rated battery isn't gonna be much better.
