I found this extended battery for the vogue. Any of you use this? If so how does it compare to the original standard battery?
that battery just showed up on the "battery scene"... it should provide more capacity based on mAh. i'm using Seidio's 2000 mAH battery it provides enough power to get me 1.5 days with normal usage.
Yeah I have that battery and anything is better than the one that comes with it. It lasts a lot longer as you would probably expect from a bigger battery. If you do get that battery it won't fit in your case anymore and the best case I found that fits it perfect by the way is this one http://swissmobility.swissmobilitystore.com/store/product/swissmobility_commander. It fits it perfect after a day of breaking it in. It is also cheaper here at this site http://www.buywirelessnow.com/smartwireless/buy/accessories/cat/615/accessory/298685 which includes the cover and free shipping.

Mind sharing pictures of what it looks like installed? Also do you know if any of the existing extended batteries would fit using the OEM extended battery door?
thanks,
-CC
Here are a few pictures. As far as other batteries fitting inside like the 2000 from seidio it probably will because they claim it will still fit in the original holster with the back you can get with it and with this HTC back it won't fit inside the original holster. This is all an assumption.
thanks for the pictures... if you have it, i'd like to see a side-shot of the phone with battery cover (similar to 3rd from left but with cover) and a bottom-shot of the phone with battery cover (looking from bottom). having an OEM cover vs. the tight Seidio cover is something i'm thinking about (not to mention having another backup battery). thx
Yo, here are the pictures you requested.

thank you sir...
Guess I can't get the 2000mah battery then
What else you guys recommend ?
I've been thinking of getting the Treo 700wx
This is the 1500mah battery which fits with the original cover..

too expensive though, there's tons of them on ebay cheaper
Will a Extended Battery Door for a Capacity 1900 mAh battery fit a 2000mah battery?
i have the extented door for the OEM 1900 mAh battery and it easily accomodates seidio's 2000 mAh battery. in fact, the 1900 mAh battery is taller than seidio's 2000 mAh battery.
Thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward to the purchasing the door and the extended battery.
how much room is left in between the battery and the cover would you say? I want to put an led in the case for a non-flash/light. the mugen-power full case looks like it would work, but I don't want to spend $75 on a 3 year old phones battery.
Hello,
Mugen Power is currently working on making an extended battery for HTC HD2 phone. The battery should be available on the market at the end of March.
We still do not know but it should be at least 80% more capacity than the original battery. The capacity of the original battery is 1230mAh so the extended battery should be around 2000mAh.
Thank you,
Michael
MugenBattery.com
will it fit with the original battery cover on? not the fat one?
I will definitely get it if it is of the same size as the original battery.
+1 on that. Mugen batteries are supposed to be the same quality as oem right?
Subscribing to this thread now!
If it is the same size, it is a must have item for me, and it will crush sales of the hump-backed whale battery that HTC has created.

Mugen is a top notch third party battery manufacture, so your in good hands.

I truly doubt that an 80% increase in battery power will be the same size as it's traditionally required an extended back cover. Not a fan of that as I appreciate the HD2's slick feel. But if battery technology has changed in that it all of a sudden can fit, then that would be called progress....
Come out with a legit 1500mah battery, michael. HTC is already doing ~2200-2400mah battery and the consensus would be that any altercation to the overall slenderness of the phone would ruin its uniqueness, so why is Mugen insisting on making one with a fatty backplate?
If you guys are making 1500mah standard size battery, I can guarantee you that I'll buy 5 of them.

already been asked, sorry

I agree, it has to be the same size for me...I could have brought the offical extended battery by now but its just to ugly.
a standard-size 1300mAh from Mugen is already available: the 2000 mAh does probably have a replacement back cover
+1 on the same size deal... if I wanted to buy a bulky unwieldy phone I would go back to the 80's... if there is a good well made higher capacity (=more time) then I would def buy it...
Just to be clear, this isn't Mugen the Honda tuner?

I would be surprised from that, in such a case i may use it in my Civic Type R for power gain ^^
Subscribing to this, more power, same size.... that would be very nice!
I was looking for other batteries the other weke and saw that massive HTC one with replacement cover and its the most stupid thing ever!
If they can produce a 2000mah or close to, at the same size as standard battery, im definately in for a purchase!
I will also be very impressed if it is standard size.
only buying if standard size!

Or my case wont fit in HD2
2000mah battery is not going to be the same size as the standard battery lol. Had a few Mugen batteries for previous devices, will not be buying any more from them. The life expentancy of their batteries has never been good and the extra mah they managed to add to the standard size really didn't translate into any extra battery life at all.

i never own one, but thinking of getting one. i thought Mugen batts are supposed to be good quality ones? mind sharing with us your experience?
subscribing! hope like others... same size like the original battery!
I don't really know much about how easy replacing phones with bigger battery's, but is it likely that htc will sell a bigger power battery for the hd7 ie 1500 or something?
I've seen regualr replacement batterys for the HD7 advertised but not extended ones...not yet anyway.
As always, it's just a matter of time before Mugen/HTC/Seidio etc announce an extended battery.
I hope they can squeeze a true not BS 1500mAH battery in there without a new back cover. It would ruin the design.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
There are 1500mAH batteries listed on Ebay already but how can you tell if its the same old 1230mAH battery with a different sticker on it? Is it even possible to squeeze 270 more mA into a battery of the same size?
lol of course its possible.. have you seen the size of the EVO's battery??? that was 1500 and the dimensions were quiute similar to that of the HD2... so I don't see why it would make a difference
I bought an HD7 and love it. Battery life is not the greatest so I just ordered a 1500 mAh battery for it. I'll let you guys know if it is any better. BTW, the HD7 comes with a 1230 mHa battery (thanks HTC for going cheap here :-| )
Also, the Evo 4G which is almost the exact same hw device comes with a 1500 mHa out of the box.
rfleites, did you get the battery?

I'm sure this is the one we're all talking about:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1500mAh-Replace...338942?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f04e9503e
I've heard those batteries on ebay are fakes. There's a thread on the General HD7 forum.
I have just had an email from these people saying they will be announcing an extended battery tomorrow:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
They look legit.
1300mAh extended battery with existing back cover:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/mugen-power-1300mah-extended-battery-for-htc-hd7-t-mobile-9292.html

holy sh*t 3900mAh?? really? wow if they work...!!
I'm sure it works. The qustion is do you want a great big lump sticking out the back of your phone?
Hey guys I ordered the battery but now I need a case that is compatible with this 3900 mah battery.
They provide you the battery cover It comes with the battery itself

As mentioned above the big battery sticks out the back of your phone in a great big lump (they have a picture on their site now). It will also add a lot to the weight. HTC would never release a phone like this.
Why they didn't make the HD7 just a tiny bit thicker and heavier to squeeze a 1500mAh battery in is another question though.
I am not talking about the battery cover. I am talking about a case. A leather case or any other thing i can protect my phone with so if it drops or anything i dont want any scratches etc.

Just saw the battary pic Man this thing is agly.
now I understand what you ment. No, not for me.
I like mine thin and crispy
1500mAh?
Im not so bothered for the 3900 especially with the size of the thing!
But is there a 1500mAh replacement battery that wont need a new battery cover and that wont change the original design form factor of my HD7?
Hi,
Just saw a 1530mah LENMAR battery and an Extended 2400mah for the Dell Streak5. Has anyone purchased them yet and give their opinions?
The 2400mah battery and back look interesting, it will make your steak thicker but it doesn't say by how much. The built in stand would be useful though.

yes it does look interesting, but what happen to the back camera and speaker with that new back cover?
For those of you who have the HD2 with the extended battery, I know how important it is to find a case that will fit with the extended battery attached. For the fact that the HD2 is a very unique powerful phone along with the vast amount of operating systems that this phone can support, a protected case is priority! After much research, I have finally found the case that will fit with the extended battery without any modifications whatsoever! It is the Seidio Convert Combo Case for the HTC Evo 4G!! Here's the link:
http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-evo-4g-convert-case-holster-black-p/bd3-hkr4hev4.htm
Not only that this case does an excellent job at protecting the phone, but thanks to the excellent pre-cutouts, you still have access to the camera, speaker, light, USB port and headphone jack! The only disadvantage is that you don't access to the kickstand. If you can deal with that, this case is for you! Here are some pictures I've taken with my phone and new case.
Complete Assembly
My phone with extended battery
Ditching the slim hard case
Putting the phone in the silicone skin
Phone with silicone skin
Phone with silicone skin and skeleton
Pre-cutouts
This case should fit all HD2's without any problems. If you have the HD2 with the extended battery, I highly recommend that you get this case to protect your investment!! It will be the best $50.00 you will spend! I hope this helps!
http://www.jr.com/powerskin/pe/PSK_AP1502HD7/
What about the powerskin? It claims to fit the hd2
I did the research on this case. It may fit, but it will cover up the camera, speaker, light, USB port and headphone jack. For me, I wanted an extended battery as well as a protective case that gives the ability to access all the ports and jacks on the phone. That's why I chose the case I have now.
Another thing to consider: That power skin has a battery with 1500mAh. The extended battery has 2300mAh. To me, that's more juice that I get to have with the extended battery.
awesome, can you tell me exactly which battery to buy. And I will also buy that case. Do I have to apply a screen protector my self, or is it like the otterbox defender case that comes with one already installed?
Yes, you will have to apply a screen protector yourself. Here are my recommendations:
Extended battery: http://gorillagadgets.com/htc-hd2-e...k-plate.html?gclid=CNC7kdHAgKwCFQNthwodoldVlA
Screen protector: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
You may be able to find the screen protector cheaper on eBay or Amazon.

Yes, that is the correct case. It's good to see that Amazon has the case for cheaper. I'm currently running Coredroid v1.7 on my HD2. I don't have any problems with the extended battery not showing full capacity.
very nice , i like it
so are you not using the hard case part of it just the loose fitting rubber with the outer shell? just curious if you are using the hard part of the case as well.
I bought this official HTC Battery and gel case from eBay.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-H..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item4158991c90
What absolute crap!
The battery is fine but that gel case has a pointless bulky stylus attachment on the side which adds a whole cm to the width. The phone now looks like something the Fedex guy carries!
I just ended up taking the extended back cover off and stretching a standard gel case over the battery.

Nope. I'm not using the hard case. It won't fit if you have the extended battery attached. I tossed my hard case and used only the rubber and the outer shell.

What ROM are you using? I ask because most of the custom ROMs here don't have extended battery support. The ROM listed in my signature for the HD2 is one of a very few that does. Here's the thread where I got the ROM from.

According to the Tytung_R14 kernel list of features, the only extended battery that is supported by this kernel is the official HTC extended battery (2300mAh). This is what the battery looks like.
