With new roms and gps placing demands on battery life, I opted to look for an alternative. Performance hacks can only work so much before your battery dies out when you have an 1100 or 1500Mah battery. I found this battery on ebay from a store and decided to go for it and here's my findings so far....
The model number I'm testing is HLI-P6800SL and will cost you USD48.55
Here's the link in case you wanna check it out:http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/
Ebay:http://search.ebay.ca/search/search...=m37&satitle=mugen+power+batteries&category0=
*FIRST IMPRESSIONS*
1) Battery is exactly same size as the OEM, had no problems with fitting. Initially thought its increased capacity it would be make it a tighter fit, wasn't the case, PERFECT FIT!!!
2) Turned on my PPC without any hitches or glitches
3) Free shipping, makes this even sweeter...
4) Juicing it up, will fill you in with a much more detailed comparative analysis, my girlfriend is a true test of battery power
5) After some extended use, battery is still cool, haven't experienced any over-heating some users claim
*PRELIMINARY RESULTS*
Having spent a full 36 hrs with the battery...the results are encouraging to say the least. Do keep in mind that for Li-on cells to be fully functional, they need to go thru at least 3-5 full discharge-charge cycles and this is only the 1st cycle.
I followed the manufacturer's specifications about the initial 12 hour charge, also take into consideration that this test was conditioned, i.e. I dished out extra punishment, GPS ON for every trip, BT headset on for every call, backlight at 40% (which is pretty bright) and send/receive set at 5 minute intervals.
I consider myself a heavy-user during the day (less at night) with usage being split data and voice even. I receive approximately 40-60 emails a day (some with large attachments) and make out just about as many phone calls. So without much ado, here are my results...
Testing started 09:30 when I initially placed the battery 100% and ended 02:49 when it finally discharged 0% = 17hr 19m window. So in order to rate correctly and/or approximately I took the calculation values (credit hofo_mofo) of my 1500mah battery
Talk time (4.5 hr)
Current = Rating / Time
Current = 1500 mAh / 4.5 hr
Current = 333 mA
Standby (230hr)
Current = Rating / Time
Current = 1500 mAh / 230 hr
Current = 6.5mA
Run time based on my daily usage 09:30/100% -22:23/ 0% = 13hr 13min window
VERSUS 1800Mah
Talk Time = Rating / Current
Time = 1800 mAh / 333 mA
Time = 5.4hrs
Standby = Rating / Current
Time = 1800mAh / 6.5mA
Time = 277hrs
Theoretical 5.4 - 4.5/ 4.5 = 26% more power
vs.
Actual 17.19 - 13.13/ 13.13 = 31% increased capacity
I will be back to update my findings after 5 charge cycles and will note any increased or decreased performance, but for now very promising. If you use an 1100mah or any other type of battery, do the math and the numbers will pretty much tell you if it's a worthy purchase or not. I am not in any way recommending you purchase this battery, just sharing my findings. So until then....
Disclaimer this is by NO means a scientific test and results may not be typical
How about a URL and a price?
Interested in your results...

Also very interested... My Mogul came with a 1500 battery so the 1650 is a waste of time... but 1800 may be worth it.
I have the seidio 3200mAh battery
Have had it for about a month now. The thing really does perform. I use my phone all day long and rarely go below 70% it's great.
Now, if only Seidio would make the rubberized case for the extended battery things would be better.
were do u get the 3200mah battery n how much did it set u back
Seidio. I mentioned the NAME of the battery as in the name of the company. They MAKE the battery and sell it.

Very nice review of this battery. Most of the time people just say, "it lasted a day and a half instead of half a day," as if that is any real indication of how the battery performed. You were very specific on how you use your phone and gave an analysis of your results.
They may not be entirely accurate ( due to the every day changes in your usage between the 1800 battery and original batt. ), but I still want to give you props for a decent review.
Suggestion:
Test the 1800 vs Orig using a stopwatch program and gsplayer like here:
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/vbar...gen-extended-battery-for-the-ipaq-2200-series
That way you will get a more precise comparison.
But again, good review of the battery, you were above par on that one .

how much depth/thickness does that battery add? will it still fit in the stock leather holster?
It added a lot of thickness to the phone exact number I'd check the Seidio site, and no, it won't fit the stock case any more
i bought a mugen extended (fat) battery for the htc tytn ii a few weeks ago and it's performance is a bit strange. while it does add plenty of power to the device, battery drains at normal rate until 14%. then it stays at 14% for a long time before it starts to go down.
so while the battery is useful, the device won't accurately display the remaining battery life. is this the case with this 1800mah mogul bat?

Its actually quite accurate, it doesn't hang like my oem battery. I thought it was somewhat the same after the first time when it hung around 10% for more than an hour or so, then it dropped to 5%. I think when the power is that low, it drops in multiples of 5... just a thought.
Will confirm/disprove when my battery is low, come to think of it I've never seen my original battery at 8% either

That's not Li-Ion that's for the old Nickel_MH or cadium batteries
you should never completely discharge Li-ion battery as that will damage them a bit. In fact there's people arguing you should keep your Li-ion battery as high a charge as often as possible.
Defective battery? Mogul LED blinking Red with Mugen 1800mAh
I ordered the Mugen HLI-6800SL 1800mAh standard-sized battery from www.lionbattery.com last week and got it this past Saturday. I put it in my Mogul and proceeded to charge it as per the directions (i.e. in the phone, not on a cradle, with the OEM AC adaptor). After 12 hours, I tried powering up the phone but nothing happens. Furthermore, once I tried plugging in the AC adapter into the Mogul with the battery installed, I get a blinking red LED light.
I emailed lionbattery.com about a replacement. Is this anything I can fix?
Thanks!
symptoms of a discharged battery or a battery about to discharge (end of life cycle). Best action plan at this point is to return it, here's hoping you kept the original receipt, keep me posted how it goes...
So far haven't had any problems, still outperforming my original battery. Will be back to finish my review of the battery in the next 2-3 days
What I'd like to know is who makes hard cases for these? I have a mogul and no one makes a hard case for the sliding keyboard to be functional as well. What i mean is for an extended battery for the mogul and a hard case like the seidio one (thanks seidio for dropping the ball completely on this one).
I bought that 1800MaH battery today. Also bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Black-Alumi...15036QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
I had a case like that for my Axim, it was awesome. I really dont care that you cant use the touchscreen or keyboard without opening it, I need something rugged and with a high enough ridge buttons dont get pressed. Poor phone rides around in the center console of a Jeep all day long.
I'll post pictures and a little review once I get the items. I also have a good 2400 Mah battery and door I recently got, if anyone wants it I'll ship it in the US for $20. It's 4mm too thick, comes with back door.
Still impressed? The battery is currently out of stock at LionBattery.com
Hi all,
Just wanted to share my experience with people who may be considering an extended battery for their 6800. I recently decided to take the plunge on the super-extended battery after ditching my home phone and going cell only. Between the email checking, web surfing, texting and phone calling, the stock battery wasn't even lasting a day before crapping out. I attribute some of that to the fact that I have very weak signal in my office so often times while at work my data connection will drop and reconnect.
So early this past week my battery arrived. Install was cake as expected, though the battery door doesn't fit perfectly. It is just slightly raised in the middle.. hardly noticeable, but there. Seems like the hole for the white camera flash LED isn't quite big enough to fit around the element, too. I was initially worried about the extended backing being an annoyance, but after a week of heavy use, I've found the phone is MORE comfortable to hold, albeit slightly heavier (which I've never minded at all). With the battery on, it feels to be about the same weight as my old Treo 650 (god I HATED that phone LOL).
Ok so here are my typical settings :
Bluetooth : Off
Wifi : Off
GPS : Can't use it yet.. to chicken to install custom ROM
Email : 2 accounts, one set to check for mail every 15 mins, the other every 4 hours.
Backlight : 60%
Auto-Off : 2 minutes (screen and sleep mode)
Data Connection : 24/7
Software Running Full-Time : SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, SPB Diary today plugin, VITO SMS-Chat, Personalizer
I am a very heavy text and picture mail user and do a fair bit of web-surfing. Voice usage is light to moderate.
This past Thursday evening I decided to try to see how long it stretched from full charge to zero. I plugged the phone in to the wall charger and charged it up to 100% (around 6pm). With my normal usage pattern, and without plugging it into a PC to sync (so no short recharges), I was at 30% by 10pm on Saturday night. In an effort to kill it so I could recharge overnight, I used media player to loop a few full-screen WMV videos as well as turning on Bluetooth and WiFi. The bastard was resilient, though. At midnight, I still had 5% charge and "very low battery" warnings. To kill it the rest of the way, I surfed around the web for a bit.. it officially keeled over at 12:23am.
So my first official test of the super-extended battery netted me approximately 54.5 hours of "normal" usage with the afore listed settings which includes a couple hardcore hours of me making an effort to take it from 30% to zero. Having not intentionally killed it, I'm sure it would have lasted much longer.
In conclusion, I'm extremely pleased with the Seidio 3500mAh battery. It certainly delivers on it's promises. Thankfully I've never been bothered by a bulky or slightly heavy phone, so the extra weight isn't a factor for me. If anyone is on the fence about buying one, I would say go for it. If you're a heavy phone user you will really appreciate the extra juice
Oh yeah, one more thing, the extended battery does stick out enough to make the phone ALMOST too big for my leather bag/case thing. It was a universal leatherette belt-pouch with the magnetic click locks on it. The phone still fits but it's a super tight squeeze so I whipped out my much-loathed VZW rubberized holster for the time being. I have a Seidio spring loaded holster on order, hopefully it will be here tomorrow or Tuesday.
Just wondering if the spring loaded holster fit with the extended battery?

I think I read on the actual site that it does. I velieve I was reading the ext. battery product info. I have the Seido black rubberized case and the spring holster and was thinking of upgrading as well.
Hopefully, themirthfulswami will inform us soon.
I second that experience - best change I've made to my mogul.
Before using the battery, it was a race to see if the battery died before the end of the day. Now I can miss a night or even two of charging and it doesn't even matter.
A word of warning: The mogul is already decently large. Adding the extended battery pushes it to the edge of being useful in one handed operation. Not that it isn't, you just have to learn to hold it slightly differently.
Hello
I have tried few 3000mAh batteries and they perform great. i get to use my Titan for 4 days without charging... If anyone is interested I can get them for you for 35$ with back door included...
Who do I need to send the money to get the extended battery?
So I noticed the original person never got back to completing the review. So here's my two cents:
I'm generally a heavy phone user, especially with texts, emails and web surfing due to job reqs. Here's my typical settings:
WiFi- off
Bluetooth- off (on roughly 1 or 2 hrs max a day)
Brightness- 100%
Email: 2 accounts, 1 checking every 5 minutes (Yea, I actually need it) and the other receiving emails as they arrive (meaning I get them immediately upon receiving)
Auto off: 1 minute
Data Connection: On at all times
Software Running: Just switched to Manilla 2D- definitely a cool program to check out, SPB Pocket Plus (no today plugin)- using it to flick through IE
Texting: I don't know how many I text/day but I've hit 3000 in a month
Talk times: light to moderate
So I've never actually drained the extended battery to nothing, since I'm still used to charging it on a daily basis. I generally start my day off at 6 in the morning, its now 2:00 at night and the meter shows 50%. So typically speaking this thing beats the original battery by a lot. I won't charge tonight and see how well the battery does tomorrow. Along with the battery, I also got the extended battery case which fits snuggly and also covers that "middle lift up" the original person had a problem with (I guess its a problem with all the battery doors). I also have the spring holster- which fits both regular and extended battery phones.
As for how well the battery will stand up to my rigorous usage- I'll update you all once I'm through with tomorrow
big batteries need a fast charger
I put my 3600mAh Mugen in the charger at 10pm and remove it at 6am. If I try to it with the standard XV6800 charger (250mAh/hour), it won't charge all the way. Instead I use the 450mAh charger that I bought on eBay to charge the Mugen outside of the phone. Except I don't remove the battery from the phone; the 450mAh charger uses a standard USB cable, so I simply plug the cable directly into the phone.

As to that, I haven't had any problem charging the battery up to full using a regular charger. I generally plug it in probably 12 or 1 pm and unplug it at 6 or so. Then again, I never fully drain my battery.
As to the "review" that I had going yesterday, I am currently at 20% after 38 hours of use. I'm guessing this 20% will last several hours more since it was on 30% for several hours before
I just got one of these battery. When i plug into the charger the charging lite just blinks. Left it like this over night and still blinking.
Does this on 3 chargers:
1 - 5.5 V @ 1.0 A
2 - 5.4 V @ 2400 mA
3 - 5 V @ 850 mA
Any help ?

Hm..are you using the charger that came with your device? If that doesn't work..its most probably due to the battery. Seidio has a warranty on the batteries they sell
Email them first and ask what you should do, you most probably will have to ship it back if anything
Leaving the battery out of the phone for a minute or so when changing has seemed to fixed my problem of charging the 3500mAh Seidio battery.
Glad to hear it! Enjoy the crazy long lasting battery life we've never had before with the stock ones!
I actually bought this battery off of someone used for 3 months. Life is way better than my original battery. My original was real funny. If i'm doing nothing, it would last a few hours with extremely basic functions including screen off for majority of time. If I was to make a phone call, battery would die literally after 10-15 minutes of constant speakerphone talking, even from a full charge. Pissed me off, I use my phone for many things and sh*tty battery limited me heavily.
After installing this new battery, I am using my phone for everything again. Slingbox, navi, bluetooth music listening, web surfing and ofcourse phone calls.
I am able to keep my phone off of charge for up to 2 days with heavy use. I work out everyday or try to and I watch tv through slingbox on my phone with Jabra BT620 bluetooth head phones. Thats a lot of drainage. Yet phone still does well with 2 days of use and no charge needed. I have emails set to come in every 5 minutes as well.
Here is one major issue this battery has presented to my phone when I originally got it but doesnt happen all the time. The beauty of our phones is that they are real easy to open and close. Real smooth. But can close very fast. First few times I closed it, it slams so hard I guess that the battery gets knocked out of place. I have to remove the battery completely and put it back in to start my phone up again. Very annoying but tested a few times and it doesnt seem to happen all the time. It has happened to me maybe 3 times since I got battery (almost a week) but it happened maybe 2 times on the first day.
It depends on how hard you do it. As I was typing this, i tested it a few times. Opened and closed pretty hard like 4 times in a row with no issues. 5th time, I did it harder than I normally would and it happened again. Aside from this, very happy with battery.
hm, never had that problem you had. But in general- lets agree, the battery is a lifesaver for any powerhouse user
Ok, so the battery is great, but what about Seidio's customer service? Here's what happened when I ordered the battery, along with a charger, hard case, and a few other accessories...
"Dear [my name here],
Please refuse the package for the carrier. The order arrived to your address belongs to another customer. Please contact customer service at 832-204-1118 for any questions.
Once we received the package, we will reship your order ASAP.
Regards,
Seidio Customer Service"
I paid for 2 day FedEx delivery, yet they want me to refuse delivery, and then they won't even send the right stuff out until they get the wrong stuff back? My wife needs the battery for an upcoming business trip. She can barely use her phone today because the current battery doesn't even last a single day anymore. Besides, I didn't get this e-mail until yesterday on the way home from work, and the package was on my front porch when I got home.
Of course, customer service was closed for the night, so I replied asking that my correct items be shipped out in an expedited fashion and offered to return the incorrect package however they wanted me to. I'll follow up today with customer service once they open as well. Wish me luck!
Here's an update to my Seidio shipping issue. Apparently someone else with my same first name placed an order at the same time, and somehow ours got switched. When I called this morning, the person I spoke with said the same thing as the e-mail, that I would have to return the package and then they would ship the right one once they received the wrong one.
Since we really needed the extended battery, I went ahead and placed a second identical order and chose next day shipping. Then I called them back to cancel the original, but to my surprise the person who answered knew of my situation immediately and we came to the following agreement. I would return the package I received, and at that point they would refund my original purchase price plus the cost of the next day shipping, meaning I am still paying 2nd day shipping for something that will have taken over a week to arrive. But hey, at least I'll finally have it, and my wife will be able to use the extended battery on her business trip.
that's good news, seidio doesn't seem like they'll have bad customer service, its a great battery tho with the case it is somewhat of a brick haha..hope you enjoy the new extended life of it!
hello everyone,
i am planning to buy a new battery for my O2 XDA II but i was just wondering whether it will make any difference in the total running time? my device currently runs for two days with normal usage.
and on average how much does a new battery cost? it is $15.9(australian) on ebay.
thanks for replies in advance
im am using this battery for my XDA, it is larger, and with bigger capacity, note that the origina battery has 1200 mAh capacity, this has 3600 mAh. it really extended the usag time of the XDA, altough it is now BIG to look at.
http://cgi.ebay.ph/3600mAh-Battery-for-O2-XDA-II-IIi_W0QQitemZ200277754970QQihZ010QQcategoryZ38329QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
two days with old battery and normal use is not bad at all.
There are several sellers of 1800, 2400 and 3600 mAh batteries. Because of bad experience with "original Minolta" batteries on Ebay I'd prefer buying from shops that have a reputation to loose.
Ebay feedback is unreliable. Buyers can only give feedback based on if they received the goods and if the goods look like the description. Plus giving negative feedback almost in every case leads to getting negative feedback as well. The seller who sold me fake minolta batteries had 50,000+ feedback, 98% positive. The batteries looked genuine and performed well for over a month. One month later his negative feedback started to increase, he never answered my warranty claims, next month his account was gone.
Battery??
can anyone tell me approx. how long would a new battery last on a hima?
1200 mAh? 1400mAh? 3600mAh?
actually no, nobody can. It highly depends on your personal use, the software you use but most of all:
-the time per day your LCD/Backlight are on
-the brightness settings of your LCD
-how often do you turn it on/off per day
-is IR on or off or on for some time per day
-is bluetooth """""
-how often do you recharge and do you recharge till max capacity
-the quality of your charger
-Do you use it in combination with other hardware like headphone, thumb keyboard...
and so on. It might depend on the radio version that's never been fully studied in this forum AFAIK
but to compare mAh capacity is simple math. If 1200 mAh lasts 3 days, 3600 mAh should last 9 days in the same device with the same use.
Unreliable manufacturers exaggerate capacity.
hi, im a very heavy user, meaning my xda is almost always turned on for i am using unlimited texting feature of my phone, my average text per day is around 400 text messages and 30 minutes of calls per day. my battery (3600mAh) starts at 99% after 24 hours, it may have 25% left, good for another 4 hours use. Please take note that my phone rests for 8-9 hours as i sleep anyways, so continuous use of the 3600mAh batt may be 20 hours CONTINUOUSLY, my backlight is set to minimum and im using WM6.1 OS.
note that with my old 1200mAh batt and my heavy use, the old batt wont last 1 day.
also, im not an ebay seller, i just gave you that link as i had no problem with that seller.
sounds indeed like a good battery, so a good seller. I'm very proud that it takes me 4 hours to completely drain my old 1200 mAh. 5x as much from a new 3600 mah... I guess I'll have to order one...
please also take note that new batteries needs a couple of charge/drain/charge cycles before you will see the effect its large capacity. so give it 2 charge / drain cycles before you evaluate how good it is for you.
@paulpax
Liked the E-bay linked; I'm intersted. Too bad it's E-bay, if only I can communicate with the seller in some other way...
that seller has a phone number in his ebay store, i use that number to contact him when i make my orders, to date my orders have been, 1-3600mAh XDA2 battery, 1-700mAH Tanager Battery, and 1-Canon IXUS battery.
thanks.

hmm... i think im going to drop by their store in Cityland to check out the merchandise first. Thanks for the tip bro.
Very **** it would seem. I only used tomtom for about 15 or 20 minutes today and played a couple of vids for a minute or two. Nothing else I can think of and no phone calls made. The fully charged battery this morning was giving me low battery status by the afternoon. Wtf? This is the 900 mAh one that came with it.
I last a full day with frequent internet/video/game use. maybe 2.5 hours of that stuff, 1 hour of text messaging, 1 hour of phone calls, 30 minutes of just dicking around, and the rest of the time with it in on in my pocket.
there's a bigger battery available - the model is "BP E270"
well with stock battery i was able to watch 2hour film...than battery was at 10% from fully charged..so battery is disaster....
if you would convert video for hardware accelration - it would not use 90% of battery, only 40% )
if you use a different ROM, some are more efficient with battery life.
also, there are third party batteries as big as 1800 mAh. be warned that this is just the manufacturer's claim and they're usually made in China. I think a site called dealextreme has it for the cheapest but there's a ton of different versions on the net. most bigger batteries come with a bigger back plate to accommodate the extra size. most do not have the "diamond" detailing.
I've got the 1800mAh Cameron Sino and it works brilliantly. I can leave the Wifi on all day, make calls, browse the internet without too much worry of the battery giving out half way through the day. With the origonal battery (900mAh) I practically gave up on the phone and used a Nokia E51 instead. The only downside to the new back cover is as tacky as hell and you need to put some tin foil over the GPS Antenna for it to work.
However, I can actually use the phone now on a day to day basis. Oh and the phone stands on its side now due to the extra thickness so I can watch TV progs etc without holding it.
I might try for a more powerful battery but not one of those oversized ones with bigger backplate. And I'm not sure I'm ready to risk a different rom, I'd frankly be bricking 'bricking' it.
What amazes me is, why did htc supply such a weak 900mAh battery in a phone which undoubtedly requires MUCH more power than say, my artemis, and that came with a 1200mAh battery. Doesn't make sense.

i am converting films for hw acceleration,i use mp4 for hd to convert them and than i use htc album to wact movie....and battery is disaster
also i am using nuedynamicclock but it only helps at night(it should help also when ppc is on cause i reduced voltage for 528MHz(from 1.35v to 1.1v),and i am using rom that is tweaked for minimal battery usage...it helps a little bit but not enough
900mAh is way to low for this device...
also if i want to buy new battery i need also new backplate so my diamond will be fatter???
Greetings everyone. First of all, sorry for my bad English, im a bit rusty.
I have been using this smartphone since Dec 2019, it runs perfectly fine to this day, but as expected battery is starting to show some signs of fatigue. In a colder enviroment phone will turn off with about 20% battery remaining. I average about 4h SOT, moderate usage (Youtube, Web Browsing and Social media). Battery health apps estimate around 70% of battery health.
My actual question is what is your experience with replacement batteries? They are really hard to find, but i managed to get one for around 15 euros. It is probably some AliExpress copy, as OEM battery is not possible for me. Should i keep using my original battery further or should i replace it now? I fear that AliExpress battery might bloat in short amount of time.
I know that the best/forced solution is to get a new phone, but i can't afford that right now.
Just try and use the one which suits you
I've used the Lehehe 4000 mAh battery for around 1,5 years without any negative side effects. Only the back glas did not fully stick, but this was fixed with later batches from that battery according to other guys on Telegram.
Because I found this to be annoying after some time, I got the Nohon 4000 mAh a month ago. Works perfectly fine so far and the back fits nicely. I would've gone with Lehehe again, but they stopped delivering to Germany, so Nohon was my only option and I've already seen good feedback about it online.
Battery life was really good with both of these. Just make sure to clean the back glas and attachment areas on the phone and apply new tape to glue it on.
I've replaced battery with Nohon 4000mAh. The real capacity is above 3700mAh and after 6months of usage it still works, so you should definetely try to change battery at least for the 3300mAh.
