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

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.
Hi
I finally buy a momax battery for USD 13 . I am charging it now. Will give you update news when i used to replace the original battery.
posts on the web said that it is even better than the original battery though it is 1100mah only
let see !
i have one already. its better than the original one.
How much better?

I bought one for 27USD from ebay, where did you find the cheaper one?
any idea how better than the origianl one?
I bought it in Hong Kong which costs HKD 100 (~USD 13). Much cheaper.
I bought a charger for the battery as well. It can charge 2 batteries at the same time !

I suggest to all those who havent bought it yet, and are planing to, please wait for some time if its not urgent, MOMAX will surely come out with a "X-LEVEL" battery for the HD2!
I have used the MOMAX X-LEVEL battery for my previous Touch HD, and it was like around 20% more long lasting than the Original battery by HTC.
interesting. im doing the last full empty to full charge cycle (ive heard its good for the battery) and this is day 3 (21:00) iver used the phone couple of times a day for calls (short ones) and for a few youtube vids via 3.5g some games and just playing around with it.
ive noticed battery drains very fast when using wifi and data connection.
so a 10 to 20 % increase in battery life might not be that exciting.
unless i buy one as a backup battery.
might do that..pls keep me posted
i will be keeping an eye on this thread as i just scrap through a day with the original battery... its gettign me down
must add thou, how is it better being less mAh ?
in the same size? I mean you don't need another back cover..?
Man. There are people complaining about having 30% on day 2. I'm at 30% before 5pm on the first day.

Haha! ^This^ - If I just leave the phone sitting there, on the desk - Battery life is good. But, I bought this phone to play with, dammit! I can use up 30/40% of battery before lunch surfing, tweeting, watching vids, listening to podcast etc, Oh - and feeding my addiction to crayon physics. I have actually had to invest in a 'manbag' (dear Lord, the shame!) in order to cart around my charger.
Coming from a Nokia E71 - which had a phenomenal battery life (i'd get three/four days of heavy use) it's a bit of a shock, but understandable - after all, screen is about 4 times the size! However; physically, the E71 battery (BP-4L) was no larger - if anything seemed slightly smaller in my recall - and was a 1500mAh beast. Surely HTC could have crammed in a little more juice without having the resort to turning the slim HD2 into a less handsome Quasimdo figure with the promised extended battery? Oh well, I shall stick to the manbag for now.
Amazing! Where do you people find this information on batteries and chargers such as the Momax!!! In relation to this subject: has anyone spotted the double capacaty battery and matsching backplate for the HD2, you know the one that has been rumuroing arout on other forum threads on the Leo (with the picture where the stand leg comes out of the back plate).
I have gone for it ! I bought a MOMAX one to try i cant stand it anymore, like most of you I am not getting a full day and thats with most of the gadgets turned off I am not in the position to carry around spare batteries so fingers crossed i get abit more form it, i will keep you all posted of what i find....

I've ordered from this site in the past with favorable results. Shipping can take up to 3 weeks but it is free. This battery is for the Touch Pro 2 but should work with our phones.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.35632
Super! I have ordered from them as well with positive result. Let us know how the battery performs when it comes in. Thanks for the heads up!
-------------------------------------
not sent from an iPhone
That's a killer price... and they take paypal. Thanks Hexto!
My only question is... will adding 200mAh really make a big difference?
I was thinking of ordering one of these, too, but now I'm not sure if I need to. Ever since learning that the Calendar was causing my phone not to sleep, I have been being sure to keep that process killed. Let me tell you it has made a HUGE result. I unplug my phone around 8am every day and usually by lunchtime I have a battery that is about 40%. And that is just with moderate use.
Today I unplugged it at the same time and have been streaming BT audio to my car for about 4 hours straight. Now it's 4:30pm and the battery is still at 60%! All by just killing the Calendar process.
Hopefully HTC/Google can get that software kink worked out in the next release.
I agree. Ever since I found what wasn't letting my phone sleep, my battery life has improved tremendously. Also, now that I'm using TaskPanel, all apps that I don't need open get auto-killed when my phone sleeps. That's why I was wondering if the extra 200 mAh would be worth it, even if it is only $5. Anyone have any opinion?
I always like to have an extra battery for when I go camping or travel. Doubt 200mAh will make much of a difference but at that price I'd I don't have to even think about it. Its the price of a foot long
thanks for posting - I bought two to have as extras. They will come in handy at some point!
Where could I find an extra charger for batteries only?
Thanks.

Siedio has one http://www.seidioonline.com/
I agree that having an extra battery could come in handy at times. I have to say I am a bit worried about removing the battery cover any more than absolutely necessary, though. With my Droid, the battery cover falls off at will, and I wonder how the Incredible's battery cover will hold up to being removed repeatedly.
Would this charger work?? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25175
My only question is, when my Incredible explodes after installing this battery, can I claim manufacturer's defect? :~P

I'd like to know the answer to this because DealExtreme has some kick ass prices on damn near EVERYTHING!
I don't see how this would work. Contacts seem to be in wrong place. The TP2 is different than the TP, but I could be wrong, it's been known to happen...
You would need to get the base plate for the TP2 battery to charge. Same as incredible.
Or you can do what I just did and placed 20 orders for my client for their incredible
Ebay hkcyberport
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Category=20336&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=1
It comes with an OEM HTC TP2 battery and charger with the correct plate. It also has a USB(mini) plug to dual charge or plug into laptop.
$10.88 with battery and free shipping. I don't need it right away so the 7-10 days is not big deal.

yeah, it definitely appears to NOT be oem. If I had an order put in for oem and received that, I would not be happy
DX batteries are notorious for being over-rated in their capacity. Plus at that price I doubt if the batteries are protected from overdischarging...explosion would be a possibility.
You can also go to eBay and type in htc incredible battery
and there will be a bundle of 2 of those with a standalone desktop charger for the batteries for about 10-15 shipped.
You can also buy a 14piece bundle with screen protectors, styluses, chargers, the above battery bundle, and a couple cases and more for about 35-40$ shipped.
Well, I just received the battery from DealExtreme. Although it fits in the slot, it will not charge or power up. Either I received a DOA battery, or it does not work. Either way, save your $5.
First off, I do not have any affiliation with any vendors - whatsoever!
Here's an awesome deal on a highly-rated, 10,000mah battery bank for $29.99/free shipping!
Read about it here
Then go here for info on how to get the deal.
If you want more reviews, go here for reviews on the previous model (essentially the same thing).
I've known about this for a couple of days now, but I just grabbed one, and wanted to share with my fellow forumites.
Hope this helps someone else looking for a battery bank!
I have actually been looking for something like this.. but the price I see is $59.99. Is there a special code I have to use to get the discount and free shipping?
EDIT: oops I didn't read all the way
Yes - you have to go look at the SlickDeals link in my OP.
My smaller power battery bank has been a life-saver so many times in the past six months of ownership. I look forward to getting this one.
Goo deal .. the promo code is only valid from 8pm -11pm EST till Dec 31. Buhch of people say that they run out of the alloted quantities pretty fast, so try to get it as early as you can.
Technical Data say it's 5200mAh, product description say it's 10000mAh

However, the RavPower website states that the pb07 is indeed 10000mAh:

Yeah - the Amazon write-up is inaccurate in a number of places - it seems that info from prior models is carried forward. This model uses four Samsung cells that provide 2600mah each.
I'd go with the mfg'ers website and what actual customers say about the battery pack's capacity.
Not that this will make a difference for anyone else but I emailed the seller and they told me this product is not UL certified. Big bummer for me because I'm in the Navy and they require every device that we plug in aboard a ship to be UL certified. This would have been super handy for a deployment as electrical outlets are scarce on the boat. My search continues..

will you provide us with some pics of it next to the nexus 7 by chance (size comparison)?
wavrunrx,
Dude, I would love to, but unlike everyone on this forum right now, I don't yet own an N7. It's at the top of my xMas list and by most accounts I've "been good". So here's hope'in.
The height/width is about the size of a pack of cigs, and it's about 3/4" thick. Rounded edges, hefty, a beautiful piano-black finish, really nice design and comes with a charger, two usb/mini usb cables, and a black velvet storage bag.
If it were white and had an Apple logo on it, it would be $175, easy.
Still don't have an N7 (c'mon Santa! c'mon Santa!, I've been "nice" the whole f**ck'in year!!)...
... but I can report back that this battery pack is awesome. It takes a while to charge-up, but that's expected given it's capacity. I repeatedly put my Galaxy Nexus on it yesterday and it charges super fast and doesn't even break a sweat. Plus I could be charging another phone (or tablet) on the other charging port. Given what I've seen yesterday, this could be my sole energy source for my GNex for the better part of a week without ever being tethered to a wall.
Bookmark: Thanks for Sharing. May look into getting one before the deal expires.

Very nice price indeed, thanks for the quick info. Just curious, how long does it take your unit to charge up?
I got one of these during this deal and I love it. The powerbank was nicely packaged and came with some extra tips for other cellphone models. Even came with an ac plug too which impressed me the most. I love getting products with added accessories that I didn't think would come with. As for the unit, it's compact and stylish and nicely designed. Very portable and lighter and smaller than I anticipated for a 10,000mah charging unit. It's literally small enough to hold in my pocket, but not both my phone and this together. If you carry a pack with you, this would be perfect.
I don't dare to crack open my unit but I read on an Amazon review that the four batteries used is Samsung 18650 power cells which can charge up to 500 or more times. There is also a lit up gauge that lights up to how much power is left in the powerbank. I used this on a short trip last weekend and maybe used this twice and it worked wonderfully. I can see myself using this during future camping trips, outdoor outings and even during emergencies. I love it and I can't stress this enough on having something like this since my phone tends to run out of battery fast during trips since I use my phone a lot during these times. Highly recommend everyone have something like this around.
i just got my unit in the mail today.
comes in a very nice box, well designed, comes with 2 micro usb cables, wall plug, and a felt pull-string bag. the unit itself is quite impressive. has a nice weight to it, and just feels solid. im still charging mine up, but sofar, (and especially for $30) i am *very* impressed.

right off the bat i can answer these:
"How long did it take to get yours in the mail?"
i live about 2 miles from where it shipped from, and if it wasnt for xmas eve/xmas day, i would have gotten my unit 2 days sooner. shipping would have been overnight, if not for xmas.
"Can you use the nexus at the same time while it's charging?"
unfortunately no. :crying:
when you are charging the unit itself, it shuts down the 2 remaining usb charge ports, until you unplug it from the wall.
**edit
now that i re-read what you asked; yes, you can use your phone/tablet while it is charging from the RAVPower.
the RAVPower just cannot be plugged into the wall at the same time.

whew! At first I was about to cancel my purchase because I thought you couldn't use the nexus while charging from the RAV. That would have been unacceptable. As far as not being able to use the RAV when the unit itself is charging I don't really mind. Thanks for the quick replies, I'm eager to get mine. Update us on your experience when you got a chance to test it fully charged if it's not too much of a bother
(cross posted to Nexus 5 subreddit)
So I've had my N5 since it was first available (ordered it the first day it was on Google Play). Over the last 6 months or so, I've had absolutely atrocious battery life, which I attributed to the upgrade to Android 5. Most recently, the battery life has been so bad that I could be at 98% and after 10 or 15 minutes of playing a game with GPU usage, the phone just shut down. After a reboot, the phone said my battery was at 1%. Then I'd keep the phone off, leave it for 20 or 30 minutes and when I turned it on again, it told me the battery was at 40%. Super strange.
Long story short, I decided that my battery had some real problems. So I took a chance and ordered what looked like an ok battery replacement off of Amazon (link below) as well as some tools from iFixit.com (link below) and decided I was going to try to install a new battery.
Well, it's been about a week since I did the battery replacement (link below to the YouTube video that was helpful) and my phone feels like a brand new device. I get a real, full-day use of the phone now, which for me is having it on and using maps, Gmail, texting, Chrome, Facebook, Play Music, and a few other key apps. Some games here and there. I also obviously have the phone off during the day when I don't need it. Before the battery replacement, my phone could easily be dead with a mix of screen on and off time in 2 hours or less. Now I'm getting 13-14 hours easily. Really amazing.
So I thought this was important enough to share with everyone. If you're in the same boat that I was, you might give this a shot too. Here's everything you need to do what I did:
BATTERY (ships from Chicago, NOT China! this was key!): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LD7S6YQ
iFIXIT TOOLS (if you don't already have these): https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Plastic-Opening-Tools/IF145-000-1
YOUTUBE TUTORIAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlmKLfgUtBQ
Here's some additional info about my setup that may be helpful: ROM: Cataclysm latest stable build (built off 5.1) KERNEL: Elemental X 2.11. Also using Greenify to hibernate unnecessary background apps
Feel free to ask any other questions. I'm really pleased with how things have gone with this new battery (at least for this first week, which I know is not tons of time). For the moment, it feels like I have a brand new phone!
I was just starting to look for a replacement for my N5. This one doesn't get the greatest of reviews. I've wasted $13.50 on worse though. You still recommend it?

I do! Granted, I've had this for just about a week so it's not the best assessment of long term performance but the difference between the dead stock battery I had and this new one is night and day. I can go all day with this new one. I could barely go an hour with the old one before it shut off. Worth a shot -- and to your point it's only $13.50.
Great thread!
But I think my battery still no dead, can get 3.5 hours of SOT with like near to 2 hours gaming, and it can still standby for at most whole days with such usage
Now in stock 5.1 with elementalX kernel
ONLY fresh year battery to buy
I hope for a long battery manufacturing. Unfortunately, the design of batteries is that they are prone to aging. Even if they are in a store, they begin to lose capacitance over time. It is necessary to carefully examine what year battery you want to buy
Hmm, also considering replacing my battery...
One day my phone was going haywire and I took it apart (easier than I thought) replugged the battery cord and worked fine after that.
Probably anal but right when I unplugged my phone from the charger just now it went from 100% -> 99% instantly.. dun dun dun! lol I've had my phone since December 2013 so yeah you can tell how long I've had my phone for! haha
I ordered one from etradesupply that will arrive tomorrow. I hope it has a fairly recent manufacturing date and isn't some extra stock from 2013. I know I am paying more due to shipping but buying batteries on ebay makes me so nervous about fakes and the quality. At least it looks super easy to swap out.
Coincidentally, I came to the same conclusion yesterday and ordered a new battery. It appears to be something of a minefield and you can pay between £8 and £30 for what seems to be the same battery!
In the end, I went with a mid-price battery from a reputable seller and hopefully all will be well...quite excited for it to arrive
My new battery just arrived today! I'll get it fitted and update with how it is. I've got some screens of battery life at the moment. Hopefully it improves

My etradesupply battery arrived yesterday. It looks exactly like the stock battery and shipped from Texas. Manufacture date is September of 2014... Can't remember the exact date but it for sure september of 2014 which is older than I'd like but we'll see. It was at 47% charge which is about what it should be for storage.
I haven't had a chance to do a full cycle yet. I just charged it to 100% once so far. My screen on time is 2 hours 15 minutes with 34% battery left. I don't do anything special to conserve battery and use automatic brightness set to 50% or whatever stock is. That's a mix of games and browsing.
I am not sure if a new battery has to go through a full cycle to get calibrated or anything like that. I've read laptops should be drained completely once in awhile (not often) to recalibrate something with how the battery life is measured. I feel battery life is better than the battery it replaced so far which is what matters to me. If I can get 3+ hours SOT consistently I'll be happy. I was getting down to around 2 hours SOT on my old battery.
I've been contemplating getting a new battery for a while. I have a launch week device so my battery is sitting around 18 months old. I'm not getting terrible battery life but it's not as good as it was either. My usage patterns have changed since then and I also keep a lot of apps installed and have everything turned on as opposed to when I first had the device I had a script remove most everything from the phone and kept most things turned off. I'd say an average work day I'll see 2-2 1/2 hours screen on time with about 1 1/2-2hours bluetooth music playback. I'm looking for a charger around 6pm when I get home.

i see you're in the US so not sure if I'll be of much help. I ordered off ebay, just checked to make sure there was plenty of feedback for the battery. Just using up the battery of my current one so will change tonight and hopefully update tomorrow!
Good to hear OP! I always look forma back up bstteryied con amsozn
Just my luck. I get the one battery that doesn't charge ? have to wait on a replacement now
Every one knows batteries need to empty and fill a good few times to reach peak holding. I replaced mine with a genuine OEM, from Amazon, and it took a good few days then it made a huge difference longevity. Never buy cheap batteries. They are fake and can't be told from the real thing until you use it AND findout. Go by the reviews and who is selling

Battery Replacement in India
Where can I get the battery in India. My battery too draining like hell..
Can anyone suggest where I can get battery in India.. Online website is fine
I have my old battery replace at the official LG service center here in Manila and all i can say is that my 5's battery life is just like brand new. After a year with the old battery, sot max is just 1.5 hours, after the replacement, 4.5 hours.
