[Q] eBay High Capacity Battery?

I have ordered 2 high capacity batteries for my new HTC HD7 and DHD.
They are simply higher capacity batteries but not made by HTC.
The Desire HD battery is 1600mah (standard is 1230mah) and
The HD7 battery is 1500mah (standard is 1230mah)
My DHD is aweful with its standard battery - I won't even touch it once in the day and after 6 hours it will only have 1/4 left of battery!
The HD7 is much better and seems to last the whole day with call and text use but it is always on its last legs towards the end of the day - I imagine that these batteries will offer at least another 2 hours of good use a day to these phones.
My question really lies in the safety of these batteries... they are not HTC batteries - they are made by some oem somewhere in china I would guess and I don't know if they are likely to leak and damage my phone or not with extensive use. Does anyone have any actual experience with such batteries on their phones?
I did actually buy 2 spare oem batteries for my Nexus One from eBay and have never had problems with them however I have never used them for a sustained period so I don't know for sure...

i am also interested in this. ive seen a few 1500mah batteries on ebay. but my concern is if they are really 1500mah. they could just throw a sticker on there that says so.
as for safety, as long as the batteries output is equal to that of the stock hd7 battery i dont see why there would be a problem
you'll have to let us know how they work when you get em. i might end up just getting one here pretty soon though

It's not recomended and it is risky.Those batteries can really damage your phone and in some extreme cases you can even lose your warranty.You can find this hot topic in various forums, I read a Blackberry user buying one and after 3 months working presumly better the battery started to literally mealt, ouch ! (could have been a bigger ouch btw lol). I'd wait for an extended battery but I'm new to the world of HTC and don't know how they would react. Nokia in 2006 launched a program which replaced some particular batteries and delivered increased cappacity back.
OR buy a 2nd original battery. It's the safest decision and 2460 is still better than 1500

I bought a battery like this for my Treo 700wx. Worked great for awhile and than it started to die really fast. I put back the stock battery and it would even start to die on my pretty quickly. After that, I never would buy another extended battery. Seems hit or miss but just wouldn't trust it again.

^ Exactly. Forgot to add that their cycle life is a lot shorter. While with an genuine one you could go even for years, for an extended one you should expect 6-7 months at best.

Don't buy these batteries. They all look the same and I'm guessing originate from the same supplier. I bought one and it didn't fit quite right, and I worked out the label was misaligned, so I peeled back the label to line it up and low and behold the battery itself said 900mah despite being labelled 1500mah and "replacement for desire hd".
Blatantly trying to rip off users who are desperately trying to get a little better battery life, ironically they are actually getting a lower capacity battery! Beware! Also note, I've had my hd for a month now and the battery life has improved hugely, I always get a full day now! Although its in power save mode by bed time. I have though invested in an external 5000mah portable battery charger for use when I know I'll be away from mains or usb, a much safer option.
Cheers!
Ps this is by far the best smart phone I've owned, iPhone, blackberry storm, palm not a bit as good as this, wish it could deal with outlook meeting requests though, ie accept, reject, send...only fault, and I can live with it for how amazingly it does everything else.

I've bought plenty of generic batteries and have yet to have my phone blow up in my pocket.

2430Mah battery (same size as stock)

Since i upgraded from my htc dream which had a custom japan made 2430 Mah battery iv been searching for the same thing for my O2x and iv found it.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-F...069?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb76a1fad
Its the same asize as the original battery so no gay larger backs for the phone just longer life and more time gaming and browsing, just dont buy them all ill be getting one in a couple of days.
Since they have the tech to put more power into small sized batterys it makes me wonder why these big phone makers dont use these higher capacity batterys instead of giving you some peice of **** that barely lasts a few hours of real use.

If the tech really were available within the requirements and safety measures the big manufacturers would surely deploy it.
This battery probably has nowhere near the advertised capacity, comes without the necessary safety measures like the stock ones and will decline greatly over time.
If you want premium tech you have to pay premium prizes, and while there might be some better bang-per-buck deals, this one sounds to good to be true, so I wouldn't trust it until someone confirms the battery really has that much juice.
Just my 2 cents

Oh why not check it out?
Ordering one now, will tell you all about how it perform as soon as I get it.

I already have confirmed it works did you bother to read my post i bought this battery from the same seller for my htc dream and had bit for a year and it last for almost 2 days with a lot of use, i can't say for sure that this one for the o2x will work as well but its from the same seller and its the same brand of battery from japan so I'm confident and will order one soon.
Remember its made in japan where standards must be kept it isn't from china.

What a load of crap, any country can produce shoddy goods.

I dont think it will be much better but it costs almost nothing so I give it go anyway.

No its not crap idiot...
Of course shoddy goods can be produced anywhere but they cannot label them as better than they are that only happens in places like china.
China regually change disk type and spoof them as better brands for sales and clone well known products like the psp and iphone and release crap labbled as psp or iphone this cant be done in japan and western countrys and thats the same kind of thing as labbeling a 2430Mah battery when its only a 1300Mah battery so im not worried as i said i already tried one of these gold premium batterys and it worked fine.
So continue with your scepticism and lose out i dont care.
And remember that when you get a new battery sometimes you need drain the battery then delete battery stats and recharge it or it will appear as tho the battery drains faster than a stock battery and if the stats think the battery is empty it will shutdown.

great find, thanks a lot for sharing.
i ordered one as well since im so sick to having permanent paranoya of running out of juice if i cant plug the device for a couple of hours....

Let's see after some months of usage, I'm usually very skeptic for those batteries with ultra high capacity (1A/h something like 75% more) at those prices.
Producers are not a bunch of idiots, IMO those batteries are simply not good enough.

Please restrain your self from using insults.
As rusty mentioned any country can make crap. And sell them for "some thing they ain't". As you seems to refer a lot to china. It might be a chines battery with a fake label. Wouldn't be the first time. Or the label might have a typo, like I hope your capital M is in all the Mah. Since: M= Mega ,m=mili. Should be written mAh.
Also since the battery is a Li-ion battery be careful with charging it, since if they get overcharged/overheated they explode. Li-ion battery explosion
And I know that the stock is Li-ion to but hopefully of a higher quality.

Well mine is on the way. Guess it will take a week or so, but I will update from day one how it performs.

If the tech is available, the phone manufacturers will definitely use. Longer juice means more profit.

i ordered it as well, i will post an update as soon as i get it.
13 pounds sounds good since, the 3450 bat is 35 + cover....
just my thoughts....

Most rechargable batterys are Li-ion....you know this means lithium right.... 9 out of 10 rechargable batterys use this tech including the stock and they do not explode when overcharged they have chips that stop them overcharging and even with the super cheap version iv never seen one that didnt come with this even cheaper overcharging chip.
But AGAIN i already said i tried one of those 2430mah batterys with my htc dream and the battery life was doubled from the stock battery and i regually overcharged the phone overnight....no explosion. How about we just wait and see what people who have ordered one report.
In case your brain cant comprehend what you are seeing but that guy intentianally made that battery explode and very likely took apart all the safety features before doing it.
My theory on why phone manufacturers dont use higher capacity batterys is cost they want to make the most profit from their phones so why pay higher prices for better batterys when they can get low capacity ones for dirt cheap prices and slap huge price tags on their phones, if they are paying mass stock prices of £8 per battery for 1920mah or 2430mah instead of £1-£2 for crap batterys then that adds up for each unit they sell. Less cost in production means more profit.

For those that want there are a few other threads on other devices for this "brand" of batteries.
HTC Dream: G1
HTC Sensation
Samsung Galaxy S I9000

There's a shock.

There's a level of respect and decor that you should maintain in this forum. It makes me wonder if you're some hired salesman from ECell, but that's just speculation and not an accusation.
For the people that ordered this battery, please do give a report of how this performed.Tell us about how hot it gets while charging, what are the battery stats like, and how much real time usage does it give you.

I'm a heavy user and sometimes the battery wont last a day. I will report in how it performs as soon as I get it, so no worries

Ill respond to someone in the same manner that they reply to me if they cant handle it then they should learn to deal with people better.
No i couldnt care less if you think im a hired salesman or some crap i used this battery before on a different phone and battery life was increased alot from stock i dont know if these batterys are just relabbled crap and i got lucky and got a 1930mah battery but in any case i got alot more time from the battery i got than from the stock so it was worth it.
Temp didnt rise much more than stock around 35c while charging up to about 41-42 if i was using at the same time. But that was the htc dream and was an old phone that phone got hot from normal use anyway because the cpu was almost always at full load.

Insane battery - should I take the risk?

Should I take the risk, or am I risking the phone exploding in my face?

They are a total con.
100% not 2400mAh
100% not made in Japan
100% Li-ion not polymer, don't know why like quoting Polymer as polymer in this design cell would have lower charge density !
100% guaranteed bull****
100% waste of your money
DO NOT SUPPORT THESE LYING SCUM
At best will be close to standard mAh
At worst 900 to 1100mAh
Either buy physically bigger high capacity cell or a cheap Andida or Tekcomm standard size replacement as they perform well for the money.

Thanks for the heads up

If you do decide to buy it when you get it just test the batteries mah with a very good battery app found off the market.
I bought two for $8 that said it was 1350mah only to find out it was 1250mah. If its not what its supposed to be open a case
against the seller and get your money back. Even if its only 2000mah you should still see an improvement over the stock
battery.
My only problem is it may seem to charge a slight bit slower then the stock battery but i love having a total of three batteries.
I'm able to keep a spare in my car just incase (may need to change since its getting warmer out) as well as if i know i'll be on
my cell a lot that day i can bring a spare along with me while keeping the third one at my house to charge.

batt
I have to recharge it almost twice a day...

dont buy this fake batteries, you waste your money like Mister B told

[TIP]:Use only original Batteries.

There may be many batteries in the market but only factory made ones sustain the level of the needs of the phone.If you so damn angry with your battery life and choose to buy a higher mAh battery i would say its a bad idea..cause many china makers just use lower quality cell and prepare a battery and label it with higher mAh capacity sticker..so you lose your precious hard earned money on a fake cheap battery and soon you spoil your phone board and the result your phone may get DEAD.And duplicate batteries have faster discharging rate due to low grade cells in it.This is why apple iphones comes with a batteries that cannot be taken from the phone..Better you spend money on spare battery from original manufacturer so you get a good battery backup for longer time.And the +point is you get warranty.So no fear..I have made this post to help the people buy original batteries cause rest are peace of ****.Do you want **** on your phone??
Enjoy ANDroid Experience with original batteries.

Lol holy sh!t bro. I was thinking about buying this already

I am fullly satisfied with my Chinese replacement batteries. They don't last as long as the original one though, but it is still okay. (Their capacity is about 25% less compared to the original one).
Using them with an external charger, I have always two batteries which are fully loaded.
I use them for a half year everyday, altenating with the original one. Nothing happened so far and I absolutely doubt that they could harm my phone. The only difference is, as mentioned, that they have a little bit less capacity.
To claim that chinese batteries could destroy a phone, is just speculation. If so, it could happen with an original battery too, since they are also from china and most probably made in the same cheap factories.

Agreed. Most of the batteries - and Boards are made in China. So, we cannot take it for granted that Chinese battery would destroy your phone - though they have bad reputation.
P.S: I read in an article a little while ago that the battery used in iPhone is also made in China (Guanzhou I think). The good part by Apple Inc is that they have not revealed to the manufavturers where these are being used since they have middle men in between and manufacturers never know where their prodicts go... // I didnt agree to this though, but the article said so.. Just Sharing..

grizzlydude said:
I might agree on the statement if we consider noname chinese batteries which are being stamped without any precautions or testings and sold on Ebay for couple of bucks. That is true that they might be of a very low quality.
But if we talk about branded batteries such as Seidio or Mugen, which offer quality and a good customer support and just see the feedback and test results found also on XDA. for instance I have been testing 1600mAh model for G Ace and its originally almost 25% more mAh than stock battery but it actually supplies about 35% longer performance. And manufacturers claim it will have 400-600 solid lifecycles compared to 200-400 lifecycles that original stock batteries supply.
Secondly mobilephone device manufacturers have no interest whatsoever to supply an ultimate device for users to last forever, and stock battery is a great compromise to save some money, and attract users to change they phones more frequently. This puts stock batteries under some doubts as well.
I wouldnot be so dogmatic about stock batteries supremacy..

So you recommend that battery? What do you think about this one? I'm about to order one so your opinion is worth a lot right now.
BTW; your link is down and I can't find it anywhere else. I think the website is having problems. But still though, please tell me your opinion.

Exactly we have to always used the original battery.This make our mobile phone life longer.

even if u say that, its hard to find battery made from non-cheap-mass-labour country....
aint saying chinese batteries are all horrible, but from ur statement it would be hard to find one....
Is Mugen made-in-china too?

Agreed!!!
I agree from personal experience.
Bought a 1 year old HTC phone, bought 2 Chinese higher capacity battery at eBay.
Both Chinese batteries swelled after a few months of use. Original HTC battery almost 3 years old now and still working fine!
Better get a reputable battery like the ones felllow members recomend.

Mugen Power 4600 mah and 2500 mah batteries for ZR

So while randomly trawling the Internet for accessories for the ZR, I stumbled on this.
Mugen Power has come up with two batteries for the zr. The 4600 mah version comes with a battery door of course, while the 2500 mah one promises to fit into the existing back cover but for $44, doesn't quite make sense to spend that much money on a battery that will give you 9% more battery life.
I thought about getting the 4600 mah battery (deliveries begin in the first week of September) but two things held me back:
1. Will the new back door support nfc and the waterproofing? Not sure about this. The website doesn't have any proper images.
2. The phone looks like a whale.
What do you guys think?

I think it's have to look like a whale bro.., its still a 4600 mAh battery
For the waterproofing, i saw a video on YouTube of the mugen power batteries of the Xperia V, which he's design similar to the ZR, n they say the back cover they provide with the battery is keeping on the waterproof feature, n water can't get inside..
So u don't need to afraid man.. otherwise u can get one of this n be careful not to be around water..
Still here
N!geR -> E!ch0

I am at one step for make this purshase, and I have the same questions...
Does anyone tasted it? working nfc and waterproof?
Thanks for your answers

I had the Mugen-battery to my Xperia V and I was truly disappointed about the door.
It could fall off in my pocket without any reason.
The sealing looked like original but I couldnt rely on the waterproof quality.
The battery itself worked as expected!

They should make something like a 3000mah that doesn't look like your phone swallowed another one. I could live with a 2-3cm more but this is ridiculous.
Also something like this will be much more good looking.

This one looks promising.......

Really interested in the actual capacity of the batteries. Which are fakes? Which are real? Can people who bought them post them here?
I bought the 2600mah for $4 on ebay seller u daily. Its actual capacity is about half of that.
I bought a 2800mah for $5 from ebay seller niking niking and its actual capacity is seems to be close to the original 2300mah, a bit less.

I went by how fast the battery % it fell. the 2800mah(niking-niking) for $5 is still pretty good for the price considering the capacity is slightly less than the original battery(probably 2200~2300).

Avoid this battery...
There are too many bad, cheap batteries being sold. I decided to buy one just for the sake of it and it performed horribly. It came in a sealed plastic wrap with the "BA950" word and an Android logo, nothing else. The battery was made really poorly. The wrap is made of paper (yes, paper) and the specs don't match the real capacity. My phone turned off at about 55% every time and the charging time was 90 min. It has a Sony Ericsson logo :silly: and an "A&J" sticker (brand?) on the back and a very bad SONY one on the front. It costs 5 bucks, but believe me, you don't want to buy it. Save those bucks for a better battery instead. You have been warned

want 5000 mah nor 4600 mah battery for my sony xperia zr please suggest me links

mugen battery link is dead

i had installed 5000mah extended battery in my sony xperia zr , i much hours my phone must work
