Problem with 4500mA battery NEED HELP! - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

Recently I've ordered HighScreen 4500mA battery from Moscow and it arrives. It looks like reviewed 4500mA battery from Mugen Power.
But I can not gain any additional capacity from it. It discharges and even shuts down my Qtek 2020i as fast as original 1300mA, maybe slightly slower.
That is very sad. Maybe there are some callibration needed or such?
Please help me.

What type of battery is it? ie. does it say "Li-ion or Lithium" on it or "Ni-cd" or "Ni-mh" or anything like that? It could be that it is brand new and needs to be worn in a little. Some batterys take a while before they perform at full potential.

Hi,
I've just bought the new one's like you. And getting the same problem. Pls hold charging for at lest 12 hours for the first time. It'll work. Good luck.
Cheers,
T.N

How many mAh is the original?
Does this battery require a new backing?
The stock battery is 1500 mah.
It uses the original back.
thats pretty cheap.
ships in 12 days thogh
is anyone using this battery ??
will HERO last one full day (lets say 14h) on it ? without switching off 3g,automatic updates etc ?
hell i ordered one, i had a few hours OT this week haha
I bought one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190309433477
and I bought a couple extra standard batteries with a external charger.
They work great!
It is cheaper than the 1750mAh battery from seidio.
Has anyone in the past used a battery from Mugen Power? Wondering if it's any good. I've used batteries from Seidio and worked out very good. Just debating if I should save a few bucks by buying the Mugen Power battery over Seidio
I used a battery from mugen when I had my ppc-6600 and I was satisfied with it. I haven't used any lately.
I got mine this morning and I can honesty say that I already notice a difference and I haven't gotten the battery cycled yet. I'm also a heavy user.

Yep. Usually if I took my Hero off the charger at 8am, it would be dead around 2. With this new battery, it lasted 12 hours on the first charge. Also, it completely charges from dead to 100% very quickly.
And like I said, I'm a heavy user.

I'll presume you're talking about the Mugen battery -- if that's the case, it's also the one I bought. However, I don't know if I'm seeing the results I should be. How did you go back conditioning your battery? I know the standard is to let the new battery charge for 12 hours -- use until almost dead and repeat this step for a couple of days.
Also, since using the new battery, I've also cleared the battery stats via recovery, but for some odd reason, the moment I take my phone off the charger -- (7:15 A.M) about 5 minutes after, my battery already says that's its at like 95%. Now it's 8:22 and my battery reads 87%.... that just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
I'm a pretty moderate/heavy user -- text a lot, have at least probably one or two 30 minute calls a day, use the web quite often, and I have FB & TechBuzz pulling every 2 hours. I sometimes wonder if my regular (1500 mah) battery was better?
EDIT:: It's now 11:36 and my battery is at 81% -- so things actually seem to be okay. However, I still can't get over why my battery would initially lose 15-18% of power within what looks like to be the first hour.
EDIT Again:: It looks like I'm finally getting the results I was hoping. It's now 9:20 -- and my battery is at 49%, which is extremely good. Usually the standard battery by now would be at 10-15%. Satisfied so far!
I have the same battery and mine shows 100% out of the charger, and down to 87% in an hour with very little use. Its the Mid power curve thats the long life of the 1800 Mugen battery, at least for me. Drops off fast from 100 to mid 80's and then seems like it reads 70-50% forever. I actually have to turn on alot of resources to get the battery level down low enough to recharge properly. I still like to charge when only about 20% or less is left in the battery, or when the "Warning, Plug your phone into your Charger" comes on. Reminds me of Robbie the Robot warning from Lost in Space, "Warning, now generating 100,000 Volts" lol.
Anyway, I didn't see much difference at first but afer a few charge/discharge cycles you will. To prove it, go back to your stock battery to see the difference.
Regards,
I bought the Mugen 1800 today with code 5off2010

There was some some sort of notice during the ordering process that some people have trouble receiving their packages and that is this happens to you that you should contact them and they will re-ship.

Mugen MUSCLE-BATTERY: 1800mAh

did any1 got this monster ?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...d-battery-for-htc-legend-bb00100-1800mah.html
it's about 47$
if u do please tell me how it performs ... i heard and read that legend battery isn't quite impressive :| ... i really like this phone ! if someone tried tell me plz! i'm lookin 2 buy a legend myself ( i own a blackstone and is ... about same thing : with light usage hardly 2 days ! )
Legend battery sucks. Anyone had any experience with the mugen brand?
To bad they dont tell what the Whr of the battery is.
And all the "reviews" are of other batteries and a few years old.
Wonder how the managed to engineer a 50% bigger capacity battery in the legend since there is no margin for any physical increase of the battery.
jjs87: Why? The battery can't run on a different voltage so the capacity in mAh is clear enough.
Has the battery been tested?
Any new infos?
come on guys we wanna know!

If you're that anxious, why don't you buy it yourself, then you can post your findings here..
Can't we find find those batteries for a bit less expansive?
47 € is not particuliary expansive, but if I can find for less money it would be cool.

I haven't bought it yet because my Legend is new
And for that i Don't know it's real power. At the end of The day with 3g or WiFi always on i have about 30-50% for now.
I bought one, but it is currently out of stock. I think, it will ship July 9th?
When I receive it, I will review it and post my results. I am surprised someone has not yet already done this.
Someone on a Dutch forum has this battery and will report in a few days. I will post his findings here!
tks, i look forward to know how it behaves, but from what i've red, Mugen is an awsome brand with lots of quality products.
lets wait and see

Did he buy it from the same place TC posted or did he get it from a shop in Holland?
I hope the latter since I'm anxious for a hicap battery for my Legend
Yes, I think he bought it on the same website. He hasn't posted anything at the moment though..
Edit:
First review from a Dutch forum (translated from Dutch, so it might be a little iffy):
I've got the Mugen Power Extended Battery for HTC 1800mAh Legend BB00100 a few days now. Enough time (following the instructions) to fully charge and empty the battery a few times. I drained the battery by leaving the phone running Google Maps navigation. Yesterday and today was the first normal use.
Old situation: Before I had this battery, I was happy if the battery could make it through one working day. With light use in the morning, and in the evening with 40-50% left to do some web browsing. If I didn't put it on the charger at night, the next morning it was about 15%, not enough to start the day. Under normal to heavy use I never made it to the end of the day without charging in between.
New situation: With the same kind of usage it's about 70% in the evening. Again some web browsing before bed and no charger. This morning there was still 43%.
Conclusion: I still put it on the charger because I'm still unlikely to make it through an entire day. But what's clear is that I can make it easily through one day even with heavier use, no more charging in between. That makes the purchase worth for me.
Don't expect that you now can navigate for hours without draining your battery because that won't change. That was exactly what I hoped it would cause. Nothing more annoying than a device to with normal to heavy use that won't make it through one day. Striking is that the Battery Graph program (from where I get these measurements) shows that this battery longer stays at 100% and about as steep downhill runs compared to the standard battery.

Hi,
What about the size of the Mugen Power Extended 1800mAh Battery? Is it the same size as the original 1300mAh one? If not, how much bigger it is? Any photos?
On Mugen website it says:
"The extra size and weight increases pale into insignificance when you consider the true convenience the battery gives... it represents excellent value for money."
Thanks!
hey guys, consider searching a topic i think it's here @ xda about batteries.
It's ridiculous, the best battery currently is the original one from HTC.
All the others either don't have the announced capacity, or don't fully charge.
if I find it i'll update this post.
update...lol
check this guys...

the original thread is at http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/66987-seidio-1600mah-extended-life-battery.html

@ bodjor its the same size otherwise it will not fit in the legends unibody case

Thanks, Mafiatounes. I thought that logically, but was confused by the statement on Mugen's website ("The extra size and weight...").
So, is it worth buying?
For me its worth buying my legrnds standard battery runs for 8h of heavy use and I need about 12h at least I think only mugen can provide that amount of power

HTC HD2 Extended Media Battery + Battery Cover BP E400

Anybody know if this "HTC HD2 Extended Media Battery + Battery Cover BP E400" is going to fit/compatible with T-mobile htc-hd2?
http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b195058.jpg
LOL that thing is huge!! It doesn't look that comfortable. I just bought a second battery as a back up. I figure that since I am pulling out my battery to reset the phone once or twice every day that I would make sense to have a fully charged battery in case I was low on juice or something.
I saw Mugen Power 2600mah extended battery with build in reset hole

I saw Mugen Power 2600mah extended battery which is thinner than the OEM with reset
hole on the cover, you donot need to remove the battery cover in case you need to reset,
you can find our from Youtube.
I would love to see a profile shot of one of these. I have not seen a single one...no comparisons...nothing.
WOW that would make my hd2 look like one of the 90's cellphones
anyways you should take a look at ZAGGsparq™ Portable charger
its a bit pricey but I think It would be worth the money, Im thinking of buying it
I just received mine from Expansys USA. I will post pics later with it on my TMobile HD2.

Does the kickstand feel pretty sturdy? And, does it "snap" into fully-open/fully-closed positions, or does it travel freely between them?
Does anyone have any news on when the extended life SLIM battery will be released, either by SEIDIO or MUGEN POWER? I'd like more battery life but not that huge back.
*EDIT* Found one from Mugen Power.. only and extra 70 mAh.. not sure if it's worth it but I might buy.
I have the andida battery, its a def. improvement from the stock one! I wanted to test it out, but im currently occupied with the CFA.

ill be back on the forums after june 5th... the results are good better than stock battery for sure.
i heard that HTC HD2 Extended Battery BP E400 will not fit HD2 TMOUS version very well and i am looking for someone to confirm this for me ?
Well im bored in my class. So i guess, ill write up this review.
First off, I purchased andida battery off ebay, and is a very well known, i believe korean battery maker. It took two weeks from Hong Kong for me to receive the battery. Second, i did proper break-in for the battery, about 5-6full charge & discharges. The OEM battery barely lasted the entire day for me, i disconnect from the charger at 9 A.M., and by 8:30, im at 1%!! With the new battery, the same goes, but by 8:30, im at 15%, and will die by about 10ish. I have the phone set for push email, and the bulk of my email comes in about between 10am & 2pm. The Sense updates are set to 4 hour updates & im constantly connected to 3G. The phone never sees a charger in between 9AM & 10pm. Hopefully this sheds some light about this battery.
Reply: No memory loss. mAh, see below.

I'm using the 2600mah Mugen extended battery and I gotta say its a huge improvement. I work 10 hour shifts and I use to leave work with only about 30-20% left and now I'm at 65-70% at the end of shift. I use it as a router a couple times a day, listen to a couple songs, and look stuff up online. I was real timid about using my phone at all cuz it would kill my battery, but now I have no problems with heavy usage. It does take a couple charges to really unlock the batteries full capacity.

Ordered the same battery. Have had it about a week and a half, and I'm only by my third charge. The only complaints I have so far are the 4-5 12 hour charges that the instructions say you should do initially (thankfully I only have 2 more charges to go); and the battery cover included is flimsy. It pops off with the slightest touch. Might be just a defect on mine, but maybe others can confirm this. Good thing I had another cover that stays on.

Has anyone ordered the mugen power extended battery case. Imwondering if it will fit tmobilehd2 due to the slight difference in size. I know that a lot of us are looking for a case for an extended battery. It's avail. At mugenpower.net

G1 Battery Lasts Only 2 Hours (Help)

My G1 battery is only lasting 2 to 3 hours for some reason. it is a 1400 mAh by seidio. I am running the SuperFroyo 2.6 Lite by Superatmel. i got the battery online like 3 months ago and it was used. Any ideas or suggestions to save battery. and/or should i get a new battery? Thanks

Try another Rom Super D v1.9.3 and SuperFast v1.3.3 are excellent Donut (1.6) ones to test your battery issue.
ok ill try out SuperD thanks
I will bet that your battery issues are not ROM-related. Being that its an after-market battery, and used, it's probably outliving its life spam. To my knowledge, batteries are meant to provide a certain number of charges, every time you plug the power cable into the phone to charge it, that constitutes for one charge. Whether its for 5 minutes, or 5 hours. They usually have a set number, somewhere around 500 charges. After that, it slowly stops holding a solid charge.
I would suggest buying a NEW battery, not used.

Youre assumption is correct, thats why I directed him to flash a Donut rom to test and see if the short battery life occurs again.
Until we hear from him we wont be 100% in our hypothesis.
Youve gotten ahead of me and commented about the battery being the culprit, damn, beat me to it. ha ha ha.
i would say its lasting longer, but only by 1 to 2 hours more. so im going to buy a new battery. thanks for the advice tho
ALSO, while downgrading to Donut, While wiping, MAKE SURE your battery is FULLY CHARGED and wipe the battery stats. Check back.
ok my battery wasnt fully charged while wiping everything and downgrading. instead of re-flashing and downgrading can i just re-calibrate my battery? sorry for the late reply
me too
same rom - same problem .
i have a genuine battery , my g1 last one hour and 12 mins with the super froyo rom.]
real shame as i love the rom .
I have that rom and it the best battery life I have found so far on this phone...
There's a thread similar to this bellow and I recommended this:
3 thinks you can do
1)check for a better rom and\or verify if your gps, wi fi and on while this happens
2)Recalibrate your battery
2A Discharge it until it shuts itself off.
2B) Recharge it back to full and then leave it charging for another few hours even after it says it is full
2C)repeat if needed
3)buy a new one...
Good luck

Dead battery!!!

Hey, got a weird issue with my device.
Just 4 years old piece and already this has a dead battery!!! Cannot use it anymore basically... drains overnight on airplane mode from 75-80% to 0 in 7 hours!!! Last night I left it fully charged and shut down just to not starting anymore this morning because there is no power left, battery is EMPTY!!! Just barely started to charge!!! Something is wrong with this phone, really wrong!!!
I tried custom roms but the phone has the same behavior... so I came back to MIUI 12.5 just to be in the same position and to have the same conclusion: I HAVE A DEAD BATTERY!!!
I went back to my old Redmi Note 5 Pro with a custom rom... just like knew. How is this even possible??? An older device, with same amount of use have a better battery life than a newer device??? Different battery manufacturer, some production flaw in the battery production? Either way, conclusion is clear: NEW BATTERY... so, so disappointed by this situation...
Batteries get old and die , you have to change it , or maybe there is a short circuit on the motherboard , best option is to take it to a repair shop
I know.
But I found out that in fact my phone is only 2 years and 3 months old??? So, is this battery old enough to die? I guess there is something else here.
In the meantime, I already change the battery, sadly not with an original one... and so far so good, but only a few days passed. This battery however is acting strange! Does not charge more than 86%. Aida64 reports battery full at this precent... but I guess time will tell if I made a bad/ good choice.

encounter the same problem after 4 years of using redmi note 8 battery drains so fast unlike before and changing the battery to a new one it either does not fully charges it to 100 percent and it shutdown when my battery percent is around 20 or so percent but when I try to connect a charge and remove it, it will open up to that 20% or so percentage and continue to be used, I'm guessing the it need a battery calibration but I know really know what to follow on the internet.
