Battery Recommendations

My OEM battery for my Advantage is starting to show some age. I can't seem to find an OEM replacement on the web. I've had checkered experience with replacement batteries -- especially from ebay -- in the past. So, I'm wondering if anyone wants to make a recommendation for either a specific battery or specific web vendor.
I know there's another thread about batteries, but they seem to focus on ebay batteries or one which costs $82.00. That's a bit pricey for me.
Thanks!

so, if you'll excuse my ignorance, what's so special about the mugen battery? I've looked at them but was wondering why they're so expensive. 200ma more doesn't seem worth that kind of premium. However. I'd consider it if it were worth the extra cash.
thanks again.

Its more on the principle, you get wa you pay for! Mugen lasts longer and i believe they have a better warranty for them.Mugen specializes in extended batteries.If you just need a battery but dont have the cash ,then the 20$ battery good for now,no problems so far its been almost a month and charges hold well.

any one got links to those 2400 batteries?
i've checking ebay and googling online, but i can't find them

I am tempted to get one as a backup for when I travel...
http://cgi.ebay.com/Lithium-Battery...m?hash=item270213135346&_trksid=p3286.c0.m234

the one on the link is a standard 2200 not 2400
2200 is the one from factory

It may be more expensive but it's a one-off purchase - I have bought an official SE one.
Performs identically to my nº 1 battery

hey, those cheapo batteries on ebay that are like $9, i assume you got one of those? does it allow the 1% battery meter to work?
thanks
matt

i got mine for 4 dollars. and yes, the 1% battery meters work. never had the red LED of death with it. a full charge lasts the whole day with heavy use.
but i'm not telling you to go out and buy one right now, just sharing my experience with fake/china batteries

original ou can fint on sonystyle but it hashigh price bout 90$
on amazon there are one it has about 44$ but I'm not sure that this will be originl.
if you have mone go and buy from sonystyle for 90$
also i have fake china battery
it works normal but qhen battery power bcomes under 50% it can turn off any time.

my girlfriend bought me an authentic original BST-41 from SE for the full price, so it obviously performs perfectly, but I really need a third battery (LOL). sometimes i'm using my phone ALL day, tempted to try one of these hong kong POSs now....

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260548004689
I bought this battery last week for $14.99 from a company in florida. It arrived in sealed sony ericsson packaging. It also looked identical to the orig bst-41 i was replacing. So far it is performing wonderfully.

Cheap eBay Sourced 1500mAh Batteries

I just ordered a 3-pack of 1500mAh batteries with a battery charger for like $12 shipped from eBay. Since they are coming from Hong Kong, I have a bit of a wait, but has anybody tried the eBay batteries on their Xperia Play?
I used similar batteries on my Samsung Captivate with no problems other than they seemed to be only slightly less capacity than my original (based on non-scientific gut checks at the end of the day of how much charge I thought I should have.)
In searching before posting this, I saw some nightmares in the HTC forums where they peeled back the label from their batteries and found them rated by another label 500mAh less than what the top label said.
I'll report back either way when they arrive.

Got them in today. I took some pics to show what they look like right out of the pack. Notice that they all have the same S/N. Hmmmm
The charger has a USB port at the bottom and glows red when charging. If it is like the other eBay battery chargers I've seen, it will likely turn a different color when full.
Will report back once I've had a chance to use them.

Good luck with the batteries. I couldn't find the offer with 3 batteries so maybe they took it out in the last month (ebay.com).
If they turn out to be ok it could be a good investment for an emergency. Looking forward to your results.

I picked up the batteries from this seller.
As it turns out, two of the batteries seem to be bad. I sent a note to the seller to see about making it right. I'll update the thread with whatever the outcome turns out to be.
Regardless, the one that is working is doing a great job. I've been using it in place of my original battery, and so far, I can't seem to tell any difference.
Update: I accepted an offer for my Xperia Play, so I won't be following up here. I sold it with the good extra battery and am probably going to get a Samsung next.

I bought a set with 2 batteries and they seem to work fine, just slightly less capacity as the original. I know just charge the batts separately and swap them when I need a new one.

I got this response from the seller:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for shopping with us.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We are now processing replacement for you.
Customer satisfaction is important to us, as a token of courtesy, there is no need for you to return the original item to us.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. If there is anything else we can do to assist you, please feel free to let us know. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Tina

That was really nice of them. I checked the seller but they won't ship outside of the US, even tho it's coming from Hong Kong D:

There's a chinese company that makes 1800mAh batteries for the X10. They work in the play, and are good quality. All the reviews said they actually offered better battery life, unlike a lot of cheap alternatives. I can't remember the brand name, but they're black with gold writing.

Normally I wouldn't trust third party batteries from eBay, although I did buy an extended battery for my laptop off of Amazon over a year ago (third party) and it stills holds a charge fantastically.

Latest (fake??) extended battery from eBay (£99)

I was playing on eBay for new accessories... I'm sure this one is fake (well, as they never live up to their promises), but as I haven't seen it posted on this forum, I thought I'd throw it up for debate
It was the high price - £99 - that made me curios enough to start a thread. That's a lot of money for a fake(?) item.

NEW GOLD 2430mAH BUSINESS BATTERY FOR HTC T8585 LEO HD2

2430mAH GOLD BATTERY

EXCELLENT REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR BROKEN / FAULTY ITEM

And, when you know its a fake?
The battery has the same size, only the Power is turn high?Hmm, i can't belive this deal....
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

i would never buy this battery for 99 pounds

the battery has 4G technology...oh great...i will finally be able to use 4G !! i am getting this for sure !

Gold batteries have ben mentioned before, these are fake in terms of quoted capacity.
They are not from Japan, they are poor quality chinese cells in a posh gold wrapper.
Only good brands are: Momax, Andida & Mugen ...
Only good point is £99 is a cheap price to teach any buyer they are a muppet ...

HD2 new battery

Hi, i like to buy a new batery for replace when my is over. I look at ebay but i think some are "fake". if someone has already bought one that works well can you tell me?
Thanks

I have heard that best way to avoid "fake" is to neglect ebay or amazon and to scout for branded batteries - anker, mugen, seidio. I use mugen and advise you too, they may seem costy but they are actually twice cheaper. Not only the batteries last longer during the day, but also in general they last longer in terms of life cycle of the battery. Usually batteries have maximum 100 recharges and then start to day (like one year of use), while branded aftermarket batteries like mugen for instance can be recharged 400 times. Do not do ebay..

I bought extra battery from htc care. Visit your nearest htc service centre and give order new battery.

And how mutch you pay for?

I bought a golden battery on ebay ( 2430mha and same size as stock ).
I cannot see any improvement since it lasts as long as the original one ( 1300mha ).

Simply buy an Andida which costs about $8 shipped WorldWide from Obbostore or available from some online store & local mobile shops.
Gold batteries are complete fake junk & Mugen over priced ...
We have over 20 HD2 devices issued to staff & in their 3rd year of use, we issued Andida as spares & have had no issues with them to date, had issues with Momax & local no name brands ...
In no way am I saying Andida is superb but performance seems close/same to standard & at Hong Kong direct price we would be mad to pay HTC genuine prices with no real benefit ...

Hello Halsahaf

Franck

Don't buy the battery made by Qcell..... I suggest you guys to try zerolemon battery for HTC hd2

Zerolemon do not do a battery for HD2.
Andida & the generic battery for HD2 are ok for price of say 5 to 7 USD & worldwide availability is a plus too.
Better more expensive option is a genuine or mugen if still available ...

So, after ~two weeks
Can''t see any real difference between originals old htc batteries and newer Andida.
My daughter stil needs everyday charging (3g, snapchat, always online,...)
Me, less heavy usage, from 1~2 days, now 2~3 days ok

Andida are ok for cheap price of around $5 like at vegacom & seem last ok (have some just over year old & still work ok)
Capacity is actually about 1130 to 1200mah which will be better than any very old well used original cell & very close to original standard capacity, main downside is no working temp sensors & a fixed resistor to fake a 25degC temp output :-S
