Now the standard 3DS battery that comes with the 3DS is a 1300mah so when i bought the 2000mah i thought i would be getting a slightly better battery, little did i know i was wrong.
I decided to do a test with my girlfriends 3DS still with the original battery, i charged both 3DS's to the maximum made sure the 3D slider was up to max and the brightess on both was at the highest i also left both consoles on the Dashboard.
after just over an hour my 3DS with the new 2000mah Battery had already dropped one Bar and my girlfriends was still at full power. Sadly i could not do a full battery test as i had other things to do but it just shows that the Official Nintendo Battery is better.
There are actually 3 of these 2000mah Batterys on the play.com website and they are all different prices but they all look exactly the same. So i dont know if there more expensive ones are any better im guessing not.

It could be a "fake". I've seen battery's stating that it's 2200maH when it's actually 1300mah before. I think it was on Amazon.
I really suggest you check around, look at reviews or even find trusted "manufacturers". Mugen apparently makes the best batteries for mobile devices in terms of lasting power. Yeah, it's expensive, but it sounds worth it from what I've heard so far.
Shame you wasted and potentionally voided your 3DS' warranty.
I got the fat extended life battery from Amazon ($23.99). It comes with a back cover that makes the unit about a third thicker. It's not horrible (7 hours or so) but the Nyko grip looks better IMO.
For $10 at Best Buy you can pick up Nyko's Powerpak+ and double you're battery life. Without 3D & wifi disabled, I was able to squeeze out 10+ hrs of gameplay on medium brightness settings (perfect for my 15 hr plane trip).
