Extended Battery - Are you using one yet? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi,
Just wanted to know if any one was using these 2700mAh batteries and if it was safe ti use them.
I was thinking of getting one from GPSForLESS Ltd for £18 pounds, is it worth the hassle? Anre they any good?
Also, when I am about to change the battery, what happens to runnung programs etc, will I have to close everything down. (sorry not had a PDA b4)
Thanks

dude already bought a spare standard size battery and was very tempted to buy a thrid one...
After taking the device of full charge and probley using it for 20 mins for a calls by midday it only got 20 odd percent left.
Problem is iv got push mail runnin with exchange for work- reall time sync- got windows live runing for hotmail- reall time sync again adn i know they hammer the battery life....
if i cant find the extended batter by Monday i will need to take another device with me, which for the love of god i want to avoid - i cant even bring myself to say the name of that damn other device!
Ahh i see, just been searching 4 one not found any yet.. most places seem to be outta stock.. Hope u find1, best of luck
Buy a USB battery pack.
You can get a Li-ON one, or you can even buy one that takes AA (harder to find but more convenient)

extended hd2 battery
Hi,
I did a lot of research and found that it is hard to find extended hd2 battery in the market. Then finally i realized that htc service center would be my only option and when i called them this week they said they can arrange it in a week.
@yksudha : did you get the battery from HTC service cntr ?
Any news?
I'm also interested in an extended battery pack...though the present one lasts one day...not 24 hrs..
Please reply.

I bought one from this particular seller on eBay. It's $32 USD, and I got the advertised 2.5 days of battery life, and that was on Android, with texting, web browsing, watching some video, using Google maps, and playing GTA III for a total of 70 or so minutes .
I have found this, but don't know about performance, thinking of buying this one..

From the looks of it i have the same brand battery as above just not the extended version. It was listed as 1350mah but then when i tested it with a good battery app i downloaded from the market it told me that it was only 1250mah. With that said if you do buy it i would make sure you test it with a good battery app to verify that your getting what is advertised. If you buy off ebay you should feel safe in knowing if you get something that isn't as advertised you can always file a case and get your money back. All things considering the battery works very well and i have no complaints with it at all other then it being listed as a 1350 battery. I bought two batteries and a charger for $8, cant beat that.

HTC 2150mAh Extended Battery + Door for sale

I recently came to the conclusion that i wanted to sell my 2150 battery. It was great and lasted long but I just never really could adjust to the bulk and after rooting and installing a custom ROM on my phone, my stock battery was enough to satisfy me. It is only about 2 weeks old and I'm a light user to begin with. This battery should still perform to its max. I'm posting in hope of finding someone who can get better use of it than I could. If anyone is interested you can check out the link below .

I just didn't really like the weight and it kinda was a turn off with the size. It's easier to get out of pockets with the stock haha.

Well I didn't use it too much so it's still great quality. I was hoping for around $40 on eBay but It's around 20$ at the moment on my listing so it's possible to snag it for less.
I will send you 40 for it

Bought one from this ebay account 3500 mAH same size a little more live, battery does work except for the fact that the phone itself uses data like crazy. phone last me like 16 of continuous usage without data being turned on
Does it make the back of the case bulge at all?
Beware of batterys made in China that claim to be 3500mAh! for a small price.
You might find they are re-labelled ordinary batterys that can cause faults.
You need a close-up exam on those Chinese-made batts to make sure of Everything. I live in this hell.

I've had one of these for 2 months... Marginally longer than the stock battery, and the bulging case is a pain in the ass...

[Q] Fake battery?

Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.
German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?
i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.
Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

well it's going to matter, if the battery ends up exploding while your phone is in your pocket.

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

Yes my original has 3 patches.
Well.. That's really hard to tell fakes today..
What year is your battery?

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..
Thanks again

you raise a good point, $8 or $800 pocket explosions are bad.

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.
Thanks

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..
