I was wondering if anyone has spotted a extended battery for the magic/ion yet? I should be getting my Ion any day and I'd love to have one. I've found no useful results on google.
The device is only a few weeks old, so don't expect to see one for maybe another month or 2.
Actually now that I have had time to play with my Ion; It gets better battery life than what my G1 did with my extended 2600mah Innocell battery. I can't believe the difference. This is what the G1 should have been.
1760mah Extended Magic Battery
His transaction history seems sound and he claims it is 1760mah. I ordered one. I'll let ya know what happens.
Is the size the same that original?

? mines 1340mAh... then again, Vodafone UK model has less ram so makes sense they supplied us with a worse battery too
anyway, be good to know if the battery off ebay makes a difference for you
Ive got a new battery
Not sure if from this seller but its 1760mah, its the same physical size as before.
I need a decent battery app that will show all the tech details which I'll post screenshots of, any ideas

The item is coming from Europe. I ordered it at the end of June and I'm still waiting. I'm pretty disappointed in the time this has taken. This completely goes against the feedback left on his account.
I never did receive the battery. I'll be getting my money back. Although Yoobbao is now offering 2600MAH Batteries! I ordered one and should be receiving it shortly.
Look forward to hearing back from you.
Am a heavy user myself.

The Magic already handles battery life a hell of alot better than the G1 but with so much battery... I don't expect to need to charge it that often.

True that, if I was just making some calls or text messaging i wouldn't need to charge it for at least a couple of days. Some occassions, for example hiking, I tend to leave GPS on all day to record my tracks as well as access some data apps here and there, which I notice the data usage is usually the one to blame that drains the battery fairly quickly. If a bigger battery could rest assure that would be awesome.
The thing with owning a phone like the magic, is that you don't want to stick to just a few calls and texts, when you have so much more at your disposal. Otherwise I would have stuck with my old Nokia and only charged it once every several days.

Exactly, my Sony Ericsson C902 normaly lasts from mon-fri no problem with texting and calling.
With a phone like the magic you do want to make most out of it, and mine normally gives me a full day of continous use. Originally i only used to get half a day as i hammerd it but a few good tweaks make a MASSIVE difference.
- get a brightness widget and just adjust it as required. i have it at 40%.
- get an over clocking app and underclock it when screen is off or having less use. (root needed)
- get a task killer, apps runing in background can drain it too. Well they seem to. (root needed).
Anyway, whats the update on the new battery Gimpeh mate.

It shipped monday with expedited shipping. Keep in mind it is coming from China. I've been using the donation version of Advance Task Manager forever now. Whats the difference between that and Task Killer? I've looked at the description and it appears the same. I wish one of these could be set to auto kill apps that start up. Throughout the day I'll open up task manager only to see that Foobook and a few others are idling again after killing them earlier in the day. Annoyances!
No real difference really, just that task killer has a widget aswell that shows number of apps running and upon clicking it, it kills everything.
I only went over to tasKiller as the advanced task manager app expired.

Mugen Power now has 3 batteries for Magic: 1550, 2600 and 3650 mAh. http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=htc+magic

Damn! Looks like I'll be getting the 3650 now. Anyone want a 2500?
Hi guys,
this is my first post on this board, so i want greet all first.
Looking on the mugen power site, I've realized that with 2600mAh or 3650mAh extended battery you are force to change the battery covery due the size of the battery, and also your phone will become much ticker, it's right?
While I'm pretty happy with the stock Magic battery, looking on the mugen power site i have seen that 1550mAh extended battery doesn't require a cover battery change, so i would be happy to give it a try and mantain the thin shape of the Magic. Anyone can confirm me that the 1550mAh battery doesn't require a cover battery change?
Last question i'm in Italy and i hasn't been able to uderstand where this company is located on both about us and customer service there is some dummy text ,and there are no information on the contact page. The only information that i have is that domain is registred to an'Hungarian man.
So in few word is this site trustable? anyone here has experiece with this battery? They ship from Europe North America or Asia?
Sorry for all this question, but about a month ago the local national tv reported the case of a woman which changed the battery of his phone whith a chinese one, and the phone/battery exploded in her hands.
Thanks all in advance
so a few of you may remember I took the plunge and bought an ebay extended battery. I'm here to report that not only do they work, they work great! I used my phone from 8 AM yesterday to about 2 AM and it still had about 20% left!!! And I was using GPS, phone calls, heavy internet browsing application installing, and more. Not to mention I just got the thing so it's probably not even broken in yet. The back is extended out a bit, but really it actually feels more solid than the standard cover. I'm 100% satisfied... for $15 shipped this is 1000000% worth it!
This is the battery I bought, it's 2000 mAh, so it needs an extended cover which this seller included with the order. I actually made a mistake and bought the P3050 version I guess it's GSM? Not sure exactly, but it didn't fit, so I emailed him and he mailed out the proper one for the Sprint CDMA version. If you email him, he should be able to help, nice guy.

Just thought I'd share my success! Everyone (including myself) thought these things were garbage, but in fact this is a pretty high quality product

Hit or miss
For me, buying batteries on ebay has been a hit or miss experience. 50% good, 50 % crap (out of 6).

I agree, but this guy did me a favor. I bought the wrong one (wrong battery cover) and he hooked me up!
Berardi,
That's a great news.
I'll get one, if I need a new battery.
My standard battery life is now much better than before. Last weekend, I used a golf rangefinder (GPS for yardage). My battery died right after I hit my 2nd shot to the 18th green.
can you take a picture of the back at a different angle?
From the picture it looked aweful... like a step and then flat on the top part
For now i've been leaving my phone charged most of the time and carrying aspare battery rather than an extended one but with the use of GPS/BT/ Internet i can hardly squeeze more than 5-6 hrs before i have to replace or charge mine...
I wish the Extended batter can "blend" in more with the phone rather than the protuding and funny looking cover ...

GPS definitely drains the battery like no other. I use my phone pretty heavily, not extremely heavy on GPS like you would with golf rangefinder, but I can't imagine you being able to drain this thing in less than a few hours. Compared to my 1500 mah Seidio, a Japanese brand battery that is supposedly a very good brand, this is a pretty large increase. I'd give it a shot I would buy from this guy if I were you, he's good about responding to emails and fixing problems. Like I said, I bought the wrong version accidentally and he fixed it for me.

Yeah it does stick out about maybe 3/8 of an inch? But truthfully, it feels more solid in my hands when I'm typing and using it. I don't know if it's because the old back cover was so beat up, or if it's actually that the extra back makes it fit better in my hand, it just seems to fit better. Here I took some pics.
http://picasaweb.google.com/berardi1111/ExtendedBattery?feat=directlink
It does stick out in the battery area and not the top area and a small area not sticking out at the bottom, but it really doesn't bother me in the least. I've used mostly larger phones in the past, like the Mogul so I'm used to a larger size and prefer it actually. YMMV but I'm extremely satisfied

are you serious?!? everybody KNOWS this battery will specifically only work with android, if it senses WM on your phone it will begin a self destruct sequence and your phone will blow up.

ok, sorry, just kidding. no battery is specific to an operating system to the best of my knowledge.

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)
http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&rh=n:172282,k:usb battery pack&page=1
thanks dude, never really thought of it... not bad for a emergency charge when you cant get to a power point!!! also found this along the same lines..

OK I bought the battery !!! Ive seen the bad feedback (some good ) now its here. Im going to test this out and let you guys know if any good !! Hope i didnt waste my moneys !!!!!
First point ive noticed ....... It charges quicker but that isn't allways a good sign :S <----- my moneys
Oh! Yes please give us your feedback

No problem lol --- will take a good few days for a full report but today im trying to run it flat as fast as I can then i will just copy like for like with the lg standard battery looking for a big margin mind.
One thing I can report and my case may be contributing to it or the fact ive never run so many apps at once is its burning my pocket !! Im running a live stream from some scanner app whilst downloading a torrent im never going to end up getting whilst having wifi gps bluetooth full brightness all the tweaks that kill battery time and it was charged up on full power 7.28 hrs ago and im on 30% give or take. when its fully dead i will turn off phone and do a recharge and give a time then do the like for like. :s <----- my moneys lol
And, what is your oppinion after 5 days?
I think the Battery Exploded or was fakelabeled.
Sorry for taking a while on this had some medical issues. Never the less ive being using the battery and i can report its a wrongen. I keep running low well lower than the originall battery as for performance no change. I think the battery is in fact lower than the standard battery and i lost out. I now use it as a back up but know i would have been better off withy the 1800 or the portable charger or the 2 standad batterys with a wall charger. The guy has had bad feedback for far to long and I will contact ebay.
Dont be a mug like me and buy
Did you get refund?
Shiittttt... Does damn fake products...
Well better no spend money on that , if the battery doesn't explode, your phone could...

The G2 is over 2 years old now and still kicking for a lot of us, but the battery life has gotten pretty poor. I think a lot of us would be interested in buying a new OEM battery (seems like it is the same for all models) but there's a lot of fakes out there.
If you know where to buy an OEM battery for a reasonable price please post here, maybe with price+shipping.

Also interested in this
Extreme overheat and battery drain due to ageing
Got mine from Etradesupply on Amazon.
Works just like new ...which means insane"this phone just won't die" battery times again
Mine almost 1.5 years-old with custom rom, battery is still enough for 1 day, sometimes even more. No big change comparing to what I got at the beginning, so I guess battery is still fine.

My apologies guys.
Kept saying I got my battery from Etradesupply however I checked my Amazon history and saw it's epartsolutions
Here's the link to the Ad
Please note the reviews are 50/50. Some good some bad. I got a good one from them that was new and shipped very fast.
I'd email them and confirm you're getting a new one that's been tested before you purchase. That way you won't have problems
hey everyone i can't manage to remove all the screws to change the battery, any tips?
(i bought a wole kit with the good screwdriver and all)
What do you guys think of this one? Makes me feel a little bit happier knowing it's a german seller, althouth it might be very possible that it says made in China!

I had the same thing happen with two G2 batteries from etradesupply on amazon. Not that they're a disreputable company; it's just that I think it really was a hardware issue that arose after year. Second G2 + that new battery worked fine.

Hey guys. I think I understand what's going on with these batteries.
It's hard to distinguish between true oem vs cheap aftermarket.
My good battery died last week and won't charge.
Now I'm also in the same boat.
Like replacement screens, we also need a good source for batteries. Wish LG sold direct
