has anybody tried a 2400mAh on the alpine
please reply???
I'm using a 2400mah battery. The battery life is a lot better but the life reporting leaves a lot to be desired if it's a big issue for you. I find the reported life runs down quickly, 100% to 24% in about 2 hours of heavy usage (wi-fi), but if you stop using the 2i it goes back up to 60% or so as if by magic. I'll get about 6 or 7 hours video playback with full brightness. Done a 4 hour journey with TT5 on battery with 40% left at the end of the day too.
My only complaint is the extra size, about twice the thickness of a standard battery, but there will always be drawbacks.
I found temporary solution for me - before buying 2400mA battery.
Turning down scren backlight and turning off unused GPRS helps a lot. Now entire day I can use my Qtek without troubles.
Please, post photo of the back of Qtek with this battery!
to pug: is that the battery from Cameron Sino?
Yes it is. This is the one I bought:
http://pdaden.com/shop/catalog/prod...IMate_High_Capacity_2400mAhPH17B_cat_507.html
Does this fit inside the normal back case or does it come with a fatter one?
it is a 5 mm fatter one and replaces the back cover....
I am thinking of buying one but wonder if it really doubles the operational life of the Alpine (1300 x 2 = 2600). Does it? Or how much will it change?

Does this company sell/ship to UK residents? If so how long does delivery take. I have seen a decent metal case (with clear perspex front) which seems to be what I am looking for.
http://pdaden.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&action=view&product_id=16860 What do others think of this case?
Hi Pug,
Just want to know if with the 2400 high capacity battery, does the unit still go into the standard leather case??
I have read somewhere here that it did indeed..
I have bought one (order processed but the battery did not come) but I still wonder if it really doubles the operational life of the Alpine (1300 x 2 = 2600). Does it? Or how much will it change? Any ideas?
Pity ur order didnt arrive(yet).. I wonder too if it would double the life, i cant tell as am about to order mine too, pls could you educate me on where you ordered from that didnt arrive Subzero??
Safe
i have seen sth like this.
I noticed that mdsbatteries.co.uk have them in stock. But they are £100 so I will wait to hear from you guys if they are worth the money :wink: . And yes they do need a replacement back - it comes with 2 - a silver and a black.
Julius at MDS just gave me some superb service replacing a faulty laptop battery when he didn't have to.

that one is too way out in price.
and this one is gone out of shape with that Notre Dame style hunchback (too thick and i think this one is in 1700-2200 mAh range):
But the PdaDen one (2400 mAh-PH17B) is a lot better. If only it wasn't that thick (it destorts the shape of the device with that hunchback)...
http://pdaden.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&action=view&product_id=17080&category_id=507
what about this one? It is coded as PH26B, code number is different, maybe this one will fit to xdaiii like the original battery.
look on ebay

£4.44 plus post - works great - is bigger than the normal battery but it does come with anither cover
We're using 4500 mAh batteries - thinner than the 2400s we previously had but still requires a (smaller) bulge pack.

here is a good one, i will probably be ordering.
i mean SEDIO is really pricey, these well are 100 mah less, but like 1/6 the cost..
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-For-HTC...ryZ15034QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
seidio makes good quality batteries... personally, i would not consider the one in the link you posted because, if battery issues arise, you're pretty much stuck with the battery. conversely, with seidio, if the battery issues arise, i can send it back for a replacement (as long as it's within the warranty period). i've been using the Seidio 1500 mAh battery for 2+ weeks and it DOES provide more "up" time before a recharge is necessary...
i bought this battery only $6 w/ shipping so we will see.!
the batttery works well. It was a great investment. I can leave BT on ALL DAY, and still have Battery left over... Great!

Glad to know the batteries are great.
Just bought too from the same seller.
Thanks!
Great find. For $7 to my door its worth a try. Even if it isnt the fantastic it will make a great spare.
soo...?
anyone care to comment on how this battery actually performs or if it is having any problems? really interesting find...
thanks, Jim.
no the battery is great. I get through a normal day from around 8 am- 7 pm. on a full charge. BUt... i do use the phone.. Probably around 10-15 minutes of calling, 20 minutes of slingplayer mobile, 20 minutes of internet searching, 10-20 texts, read email once an hour, and listen to music w pocketplayer for X amount of time??? and i still have around 10-20 % battery life left at 6. Since i have the other battery, if im going out that night, i can just flip it out and its good, but for the whole work day and that amount of use (i have screen on full brightness as well.) it works great. When the screen is not fully bright i can get through the night easliy as well (hard to read in sunlight though...)
i also bought the digipower power extension (3400 mah battery pack) this is for skiing. I put it in my camelpack, and it lasts the entire ski day while playing music, with then some to spare. That is only $30 and its about the same size as the phone. The other great thing is that can also work for airplanes as well as it plugs into usb , so any usb device!! still only $7 for the 1400 mah batt, not badd....
thanks
thank you very much for that great detailed response. is that more than what you would normally get out of your OEM 1100mah battery?
like what would those figures have been had you been using the original battery?
Thanks very much, Jim.

It has been said that the battery is good.
I mean... 7$ , delivered to your door!
And you're still not quite sure...
the 1400Mah one for $7 fits in the OEM case?
also, would u still have bought it given the choice of the new 2000MaH battery from seidio?
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=927
Yeah, the 1400mah fits the original case.
No, I would not consider a 2000mah battery because of:
- The price
- The bulk
- The additionnal back plate.
14$ for two 1400mah battery.
15$ for a desktop cradle dual battery charger.
S/H included.
That's all I will ever need!

well the stock battery is "good". but im not gonna give away $7 (even tho thats not much) if its not going to do anything more than the stock battery. thats...completely pointless. i was just trying to get some #'s on the stock battery vs the ebay one to see if it was even worth bothering with.
The only reason i'm slightly wary is that it's not OEM...
Is this something I should be worried about? would TEP through sprint still take care of me in store? I hate asurion...
my batt arrived

so how is it? lasting much longer than your original? and you have the cdma vogue right? not the gsm elf.
yes, mawst95, plz let us know if you are using the battery for the sprint touch/vogue and if the battery is reliable in terms of performance. TIA

Hi, sorry I wasn't subscribed to this thread.
Yes, they seem to work fine. I haven't compared them to the OEM battery in any sort of analytical way. My reception and programs I run vary so much that it would be pretty difficult to do a fair comparison. My anecdotal experience is that they work comparably to the original. How long they'll last (#cycles), who knows. If there's anything specific you want me to test, let me know. Yes, CDMA version of the vogue (Sprint Touch).
I also bought one, and he shipped a different battery that didn't fit. He insisted that I email a photo of the battery to prove it which I did. He said I was right, he had sent the wrong battery, and he would send me the right one. He also wants me to (at my cost) mail him back the wrong battery he sent me. I told him I would only do that when he puts $1.80 (cost of mailing it to Hong Kong) into my PayPal account since it was his mistake not mine. After numerous inquiries he finally responded that he has shipped a replacement, but it is almost 2 weeks ago and I still haven't received it.
I just saw this on ebay

anybody know if its legit or not cause from what i know the stock battery is 1380 mAH a 1930mAH battery would be really useful to have if it is actually 1930mAH and it works properly i.e. doesnt explode or something.
fake, don't buy it
Ive been hoping for a high capacity battery to eventually come out for this phone!
confirmed fake ? how can you tell its not the 1930mah as advertised

Good find, but I am quite sure it wouldnt give actual 2300mAh. But still, for that price I wonder how much improvement it actually has over stock. I remember the 1600 mAh at best gave about 1400 mAh or there abouts. I would not mind if this gives even slightly more than 50% of the stated capacity. Please let us know if anyone has tested this.
Hell, I'm getting paid in 2 days, and sending my HD2 to repair then, when I get it back, I will buy this battery and review it for you guys.
Though I doubt it's more than 1400mAh, but what the hell.. 13€.
I want to try this out just got a question first, hopefully you guys will know
Do not use inferior charger to recharge this battery in case of damaging the battery.

Does that mean I have to get another charger or is the stock HD2 charger sufficient?
Bull****.
....
this won't have more than original battery.
the andida one is also very good with the same capacity as original and it costs only around 7$. i use mine for almost a year now and it's still good.

Define good
My battery lasts me about 8-12 hours of moderate use, and 4-6 of heavy use/no service use
I would call that good for what my phone can do, but of course I'd like better

What that probably means is this battery has a very poor charge control circuit/temp sensor.
For cheap good batteries try the well tested brands: Andida & Momax .
Andida & Momax represent good quality for the money. I have used Andida & they have been as good as original. Just purchased a Momax for HD2 while in Hong Kong as read good remarks in posts here at XDA ... Buying cheap unknown junk from ebay with obvious overstated product details is just stupid, do not support these idiots by buying there useless low quality junk that they call products.
The feedback from crimebay mugs:
Evaluations neutres Does not last long , even after several chargings
Evaluations neutres standard battery time nothing special .
Evaluations neutres Battery capacity/life poor. Second battery the same. mAh less than stated!
Evaluations neutres never arrives the battery
Evaluations neutres the battery lasts less than 1000 mah
Evaluations neutres one battery didn't work
Evaluations négatives It was damaged to repair. broken batteries destroyed.
Evaluations négatives The battery offers far less then the offered capacity!!!
Evaluations négatives the battery is not even 1150mah
eBay should be prosecuted for its roll in enabling a trading platform for fake & fraudulent spec products ...

i will not believe to comments on ebay. i ordered mine few days ago and i will leave a feedback here.
hi there, well i m looking for a better battery, mine s getting low quickly.
i just bought this one on ebay after reading this post. I ll give you my opinion at reception
hope it will be fine...
Heres a Momax on eBay with world shipping included:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Momax-X-L...835895?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20bbed2af7
I purchased a momax in HK to test, in my opinion the X-level performs same as my HD2 Andida ... Bonus with Momax is they do not Bull**** on capacity & you can feel confident cell quality & charge protection circuitry is adequate too.
Andida was the best cheap budget battery & well tested within XDA community.
I purchased Andida direct in HK for around $7 US & they are working fine.
A colleage purchased an Andida for his old Topaz via ebay seller snow9white. Total price with shipping was $9.45 US & he has been very happy with the battery over the last 6 months of use ...
Will try to check it out next week!
I receive mine
So,
First, surprise to find my batterie today...
Another surprise, the weight is like the original, maybe more heavy...
(i'll try to find a digital balance)
Third,surprise she work, and more than a quarter...
So i'll put her in my phone a 4PM and it's work fine for now...
I'll keep you inform !
Sorry formy bad English
New batteries tend to have better standby time, even the one has less capacity.
So try draining your battery by watching YouTube or some intensive gaming, it should tell the difference.

Better yet, drain it by let running Netflix for a whole movie and that should kill it fast enough.
So is there such a thing as a larger mah cell at the standard thickness at any price or are they all the same?
FYI, I bought this battery (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extended-30...Accessories&hash=item3a65fb4a24#ht_1885wt_952) which claims to be a 3000mAh.
I have used it for a while (2 weeks), and have to say that I am quite pleased with it. With 3g, wifi and auto-brightness on, I managed to get 32 hours of usage. This includes talking on the phone for 2 hours+, browsing on net 2 hours and 30 minutes of listening to music. I think it is more like 2000mAh. Certainly much longer than the original.
I am using Dorimanx's ROM, OC and UV, screebl and juice defender beta. Hope this helps others to make an informed purchase. Got his for less than USD10 including shipping. My best deal yet.

Almost all are the same at standard size.
Li-ion technology can not physically pack much more capacity into a cell of the HD2 size.
Mugen produced a standard sized cell at around 1500Mah & that was the best they could manage using quality cells & construction.
Claims of 1600, 1700 or even 2000+Mah of the magical Gold Business batteries are simply bull**** & fraudulent in an attempt to rob you of some cash for rubbish goods.
Best options for budget is Andida & Momax x-level, x-level may give about 5% more, Andida is about same as new original. Mugen may be an option if you don't mind paying high prices, around $39 US if still available.
Feipusi is another brand seen around Asia Pacific area, they rate at 1600Mah for standard size HD2 replacement but reality is standard Mah but quality is ok for less than $10 battery.
If you need double capacity you will need a cell almost double in size too, that's the reality so don't be fooled by these sellers marketing tactics.
There's one available from Lenmar having 1230mAh capacity for HD2 available for about $20...
I think it should be good as Lenmar is a good company

Open that battery and you will find in there a 1,200mah battery and some foam to fill the empty space inside the big housing. I seen this before with cell phone batteries and even Sony PSP batteries sold on Ebay.
It's a shame those Chinese guys manufacture fake and less than advertised charging capacity.
BTW- I have that battery and the charge is not that great, gave it to my 13yrs son so he can play with this HD2.

That's what i have!
I got a supposed 5000mah one that fits under the stock case but it only shows 4300 when fully charged on the phone screen. Might have to buy one of these TBTH...
edit: just ordered one. Will see how it stacks up to the one I have. If nothing else, I'll have a good extended spare and the OEM battery too. When I start flying regularly again I'll have juice for days if I can't find a charger.
4300mah? where'd you see that on the lock-screen cause mine never did unless i were to hack the kernel (which is imposable). I thought the kernel has the Mah locked at 3000mah? unless they added a chip on the motherboard the tells the phone only 3000mah
i just find it hard to believe that its 5000mah without changing the size. im pretty sure its not possible. i think its 3000mah battery but it will limit the power out to make it lasts longer. i want someone to do benchmark and antutu tester for battery
Well i get far better sot with it
It's slightly thicker than the stock battery and i guess denser too but I really doubt it makes 5000. It's definitely an improvement though over the stock battery.
I do worry that these batteries might explode... Chinese quality and all...
Yeah I doubt that cause I've been charging\recharging for a year now and no issues. I just today tested the 5000mah battery with my screen on the whole time (YouTube, Facebook, Browsering) got 8HRs SOT

All the Slim batteries fit fine and I've come to say All batteries on my eBay listing work and the one's I've come across like the one you posted should work. I've also come to say Android 6.0 works fine. It's just the Batteries that are more then 5000 don't read correctly so disregard the time left on the battery menu
