Found this on ebay yesterday: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HTC-Touch...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item335b7d6d96
£3.99 delivered, cheapest I've seen so far compared to the next cheapest @ £5.
Anyone got any thoughts? Pic claims 1230mAh
Any thoughts are that if this is not an HTC battery for at least 15 bucks this is due to be a P of S, or BS, sorry..
i bought a cheaper one about 2 months ago. for $4 (incl. delivery to the netherlands) its ok i guess it fits a lot tighter than my original one (not a good thing) and it doesnt seem to last as long. but i just have it with me for when my original runs out of juice. so its fine for that job..

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
my battery try soonly after making single call, i decide to buy new battery for my gene, please suggest where to buy branded battery?, what abt the cost of battery? and which brand is best for gene?
Try on ebay.
If you are from India, try R T Outsourcing, they are authorized service centre of HTC in India and also sell batteries and enhancements. Just google for your nearest service centre.
Always buy Genuine Batteries (HTC)
But you'll find better deals on ebay. I purchased a stereo bluetooth clip headset for $20 (900 rs) with shipping and a pack of 3 stylus for $3.5 (about 150 rs with shipping). I donno about the headset, but 150 rs in India is cost of a single stylus You will just have to bear some shipping time, my items were shipped within 6 days, from Honkong. And do buy from dealers with lots of positive feedback.

2.replacement batteries of same specs for Rs.845 and 875..
which i shall use....
cuurently i have replaced mine with nokia's BL5c with some modification posted on this forum....it works...but seems my BL5C as older then 2/3 yrs or so, gives back up till 15/20 calls as copared to 4/5 calls before. so i have charge tilll evening... plz update..

im a bit skeptical since it is on ebay what do you guys think?
http://cgi.ebay.com/1600mah-Spare-B...ries?hash=item518c118338&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Sounds why to good to be true and if it is I would be quite concerned about it's safety
i have bought many items from hong kong on ebay
i thought the g1 battery was 5v and not 3.7v? maybe i'm wrong
heres a feedback from someone who bought the item:
"As Described, Havent seen the benefit of the xtra capacity yet, but it works gr8"
1600mah Spare Battery for HTC G1 Google Phone NEW (#390071957890)
I would trust him since the guy has over 30,000 transactions, and has feedback of 98.7%
ok im going to bite the bullet and purchase it (30,000 transactions and 98.7% positive sounds pretty good to me!) and if it isnt 1600mah at least i have a spare battery
jadi929, I love feedback following on eBay too, you can easily uncover some rampant lies (like following the same "untested" item back through several sales).
I'm still in the market for a high capacity standard size,
I bought this one as a basic replacement: http://cgi.ebay.com/z388-Battery-Fo...ries?hash=item3a51ceee23&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
It came this morning, but they've sent me this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/T-MOBILE-HTC-OE...ries?hash=item5ad2ee643b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Whatever, it was only £2.50, and since those are cheapest prices, I've kinda of got a more expensive one.
Currently waiting on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-G1-T-MOBILE...s?hash=item4ceabd1c59&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
So hope you can post something positive on that one, maybe I'll have one too.

No they are 3.7v, charging is at 5v so it's compatible with USB.
Morning,
i would like to know how much is a used, scratchless, unlocked HTC HD7 worth?
just bought a brand new samsung omnia 7.
thanks

I paid £256 for mine on eBay , Which I thought was a good price
They are new £380 IIRC , so I wouldn't have paid more than £280 personally
having recently got one off ebay i watched a lot of acutions. the well worded auctions usually reached near 300 pounds.
i paid 230ish for mine as the guy didn't list it well and he had some negative feedback from a few years back which may have put people off. phone was mint when it arrived and even included a silicone case.
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:

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.
