battery

has anyone used a 3rd party battery if so please let me know how it works. this is the only 3rd party battery i could find but it sold out at the moment and it does not give a price but when i was on about a week ago it said $78.00

thanks

The price is back up but you have to remember that it comes with the battery charger. So you get both a battery and a charger.
They are still out-of-stock but we do have some coming in by sea. This means by the end of August we should have them. However, we are considering getting some by Air. If you think you'd like to be among the first, let me know and if there is enough interest, we'll have some flown in.

Mark,
I will be interested, so count me in for one

Sorry, I'm out of the office and away from the phone at the moment, is this a much higher capacity, and if so, by how much, will it be noticiably better?
Cheers.

Is it the same size as the standard battery? Can we get it without the charger?
Thanks for the info!

Awaiting your answers on the other thread. Let us know what's going on with these so we can get some orders placed, etc.

(Sorry, I was away for the weekend and didn't have internet access.)
The battery is 2400mAh while the OEM battery is 2200mAh (I think). This will give about 10% more capacity. But it does come with its own charger. I was just checking to see how many were immediately interested to see if we should wait until the ocean shipment arrives or should we bring in some by air. I will let you know soon what we decide.

So Mark, does it take up any additional space over the standard battery?

It does not, it is suppose to fit the currently available space.

HTC X7500 VGA Cradle With Spare Battery 2200mAh
Im sorry to look like a killjoy or a spoilsport, but why paying 80$ for that battery which needs a specific charger (as from what I understood)
when for 71€ you can buy this superb HTC X7500 VGA Cradle With Spare Battery 2200mAh.
This still my own opinion and I respect yours
Just wanted to share this great product with you

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the battery also charges while inside the phone like the stock battery. Why wouldn't it? Isn't the charger that comes with the battery so you can charge up your spare? Let me know guys because if BigDede is right, then it would suck.

I agree with you and it should charge in the phone and use the charger for either spare battery.

If it is like other Mugen/Lion offerings then the charger is a slot type that will charge both the OEM and the Mugen battery. It is not some proprietary offering that will plug into the Mugen. Think about it guys...it has to be pin compatible with the Athena and it's circuitry.

1500mAh Battery for Five Bucks Shipped

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.

Guaging Interest - better battery charger?

I've got a contact with the owner of a company who builds custom battery chargers, currently they develop chargers for marine applications (on-board ships, subs, ect.)
if we R&Ded a charger for our phones.... perhaps even built it into a cradle... would anyone be interested?

Who's paying for the R&D and what is the MOQ?

it's my father's company. thought started out as mainly designing a better charger for myself... but depending on the results & interest, we might produce a few more.
company name is Quality Marine (www.qualitymarinechargers.com)
current model we're looking at is the HD2 (since that's the phone I got) but again... depending on results & interest, we might expand to other models.
first thing we would need to do is see the condition of the battery after a standard charge... see the limits of the battery, and a few other factors. Potentials would be better battery life (not how long a charge lasts... but lifetime of the battery) faster charge times, and potentially other factors... (as we haven't done any testing with the battery yet it's hard to say)
anyways... that's where we are at currently

Charger
I would definitely be interested.

Check out the one at Obostore... Cradle plus extra battery charger in one. I picked one up and it's great.

Already have it.... if you look, the output voltage on the charger is different then the stock HD2 charger (it's lower)
it's possible with the internal circuitry it could be a "trickle charger".... but I doubt it.
Also... i'm not so sure I like how the phone sits in the cradle... it feels to put the majority of the weight on the microUSB port and not on the cradle.
it's an ok cradle for the price ($20 if I recall?) but I think it could be done better.

I agree... It could be better for sure... I wish it was angled so that the phone would rest on the back of the phone and so it's not sitting straight up... The question is, is it even worth it since this is a WinMO6.5 phone? Tmobile could stock selling HD2's when the Winmo7 phones start coming in.

don't know about you... but I'm not going to drop my HD2 for something else for at least 2 years, when I'm due for an upgrade again.... Don't really feel like paying for the same phone again

True. I'm just thinking about this dude throwing down a TON of cash to make the MOQ on something like this and being stuck with them because the demand isn't huge... Seems risky from a $$$ standpoint.

TBH, I don't think the MOQ will really be that high.... we're only talking about a 3.7V battery after all
the concept & design will be mine... as the project will still start with making something better for my phone and as I said... depending on how it turns out, we could make more depending on results & interest.

The stock USB charger for the HD2 is already very good. I use it to charge all of my USB devices from Garmin GPS to HD2 and other things

F/S Brand new 2150mah HTC Extended Battery

I recently Purchased this battery for my evo, but the battery is only compatible with the older htc phones. The battery is brand new. price is $15. that includes shipping!!!!

Are you sure it fits the Hero?
It's definitely too thick to use without a different battery cover, I think.

yes the battery fits the hero, and you are also correct in needing a different battery cover. The battery is about the same thickness as a seidio 3500 so you could probably get a cover for one of those and then have an actual htc extended battery for your phone. I have two of these batteries by the way.

someone correct me if im wrong, but i believe the evo and the hero share the same 1500mah battery. if it doesnt fit the evo, im a little skeptical it fits the hero. if you could take a pic of the battery in a hero showing the stock battery cover fits with it, ill take it

You are correct the hero and evo do share the same 1500mah battery. But the htc 2150mah doesn't register with the evo so the evo will not charge the battery. They work just fine in a Touch pro 2 and a Hero. the reason i bought these batteries cause i knew the hero 1500mah batteries work just fine in the evo. so i bought these which were listed as extended batteries for the hero and touch pro 2. The battery fits and powers my evo just fine, but since the battery doesn't register with the phone it wont charge it. If i put the batteries in an external charger they work in my evo perfectly(annoying). THESE FIT MY EVO, SO THERE FOR IT WILL FIT YOUR HERO!!!! YOU WILL NEED AN BIGGER BATTERY DOOR AS THESE ARE AT LEAST TWICE THE SIZE OF THE 1500MAH!!!!! BATTERY IS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS A SEIDIO 3500 EXTENDED BATTERY!!
Included some more pics. Left batt. is a rebranded seidio 3500mah, middle is the 2150mah htc battery, right is the stock evo battery.

sorry, didnt see in the 3rd post where you said you need a bigger battery cover, hence why i was under the impression it would fit. id like to keep my otterbox case so im gonna pass, but thanks, great price

Why not just get an external charger and have it fully charge it for your EVO? Either way, GLWS. Cheers.

unlike the heroc taking the back cover off and back on an evo truly sucks..lotsa little tabs..used my heroc to charge up some extended batteries w/ ext covers I'd bought for a few friends evos then watched the remove and replace process..ugly it was but the ext batts work wonderfully for a heavy user. glws

I still have both! so i don't think it will be a problem. Not much interest in these for some reason. But like I said $15 per battery is pretty good. lol If there not gone soon im gonna start posting these in the other part of the forums. This battery fits a boat load of older htc phones.

I would buy it as soon as someone finds a back cover that I could use with my hero. I don't know where to get a back cover like that, and I don't feel like trying to find it, I doubt I would. With that battery all my battery issues would go away lol.

Video Review: MUGEN POWER 3300 MAH BATTERY!!

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the Mugen Power Batteries (thanks to the folks over there for sending them out free of charge!) - both the 3300 mah and 1600 mah capacities. I wanted to provide an accurate comparison between these and the stock battery so I took my time with the review, getting a general idea of the overall usage and then putting them into test experiment.
You can see the whole experiment and full review below, but basically put, the 3300 mah battery is FANTASTIC, meeting my high expectations. On the other hand, the 1600 mah battery is disappointing to put it lightly.
Check the full review here:

Wow, I'd rather be switching batteries than having a fatty Nexus S in my pocket

Yep, I agree. That's why I only recommended it to those who really did NEED the extra power, I'm sure there is a small market of people who would find it essential. Thanks for your input!

I agree too. It's waaaaaay too much ca$h for it. Furthermore, it even makes the NS look fat, so you're in a lose-lose situation instead of a win-win.
Instead, I would recommend an OEM 1440 mAh, or maybe even 2 of these, which you can find at around 5 $ on eBay. It's way cheaper and it retains the original NS thickness. Granted, you will have to reboot the device each time you connect a new battery, but hell... I would prefer at anytime this method instead of a fat NS, really now... (it just looks ugly, even though maybe it is pretty decent to hold in hands).
Anyway, it was a pleasure watching the video, so thank you very much for putting the effort in it, I really appreciate it !

Glad to help! Comments like yours keep me going

Back again. Question: have you taken the batteries through a couple of cycles of charges before the test ?

Yes I did, the batteries came with instructions on how to condition and cycle them, so I did so 4 times (the amount they recommended)
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App

Thanks a lot for the input.

I had extended batteries for my evo and epic. Both ran longer than stock obviously. The evo battery, even though it had less capacity than the epic's, it lasted longer. My biggest complaint with bigger batteries is that there isn't usually any case you can find that fits the fat phone. I really hate not having a case to help protect the phone against any unforeseen accidents. Both battery door covers had cheesy build quality and the epic didn't snap shut completely.
It's a damn shame too because it's so awesome to be able to stay away from a charger all day long, then plug it in when you go to bed.
