Mugen's 6400mAh Note 2 battery...

Anyone come across a uk stockist for the hyperion.

No, but someone who contacted me from my web site who is in the UK said that he went with EZOpower since Hyperion wasn't available. My EZOpower battery is still on the way, but for the S3, they made legit products.

Cheers for that, never heard of them but will take a look.

Neither had I until somebody on a forum mentioned it or asked me to test it. And I was pleasantly surprised by the results.

Yeah, the covers do vary, slightly. The onite one is slightly thicker than the hyperion/anker one... Hyperion/QCell use the exact same battery cover, and Anker/Gorilla Gadgets/somethingelseicantremember do too.

I've seen only two brand marks for all the batteries I've opened... around two dozen. I think once the cells are manufactured, they then all go to the same Chinese company that assembles them, and they offer branders pulldowns on a web page to select what they want... they choose the cell part number, the count, whether or not to have shims, and then they can choose the wrapper type then upload an image which gets printed to the wrapper. I find it amusing to imagine that these people can choose how much to screw their customers through a battery order configuration web page.

If you still have that weird battery, I'd like a pic. Never seen or heard of something like that before.

Here it is. Think you can kinda see the bulgy and sorta flush rather than recessed nature along with the grain which is harder to see in these shots that looks more cast rather than foil on a pcb. I can break it down and see for sure I guess.

Here it is tore down. Seems to be some sorta little cast or die cut chunks soldered down onto the pcb.

That is really cool, thanks a lot. I see what you mean now, and indeed I've never seen anything like that.

I've posted a picture from my archive showing what most PCBs look like.
