How soon can we expect a standard size extended battery?

let's face it, the HD2 extended battery is a little bit quasimodo-esqued and the BB is a little bit cumbersome when you're traveling light. How hard would it be to extract another 200mAh or so for a total of 1500mAh while maintaining the same standard size? Anyone here with knowledge as to what's in store in the horizon for an item like this?

HD2 is a bit to new for these to exist, best company will be Mugen batteries
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
I had a standard size 1800mah for my pro 2 which worked very well, cost was around £20, so not the cheapest but was good quality

Lude,
Have you been to Mugen (sic?) to check if they are working on this/give them the idea, perhaps?

I dun mean to put you down. but wouldn't you be pissed if someone mentioned to you " how hard would it be to get 15 more marks to acheive an A"?

I went to the mugen link that chris posted but see nothing for the HD2 yet. Hopefully they'll jump on this soon.

Are you insinuating that it's difficult to get another 15pts for an A? If i were the student I would say to the teacher, "do your job at teaching better and I'll get that A."
It's not a matter of unachievable because HTC did that with the original diamond. The stock diamond battery is only 900mAh and soon after its release, HTC came out with the extended one at 1100mAh(?) or so...in standard size.

have you check their batteries?
New rear cover, giant size battery =/= slim phone
== brick
Would you like to have a brick instead of phone?

I'm assuming that you misread my original post

I am also waiting for one. Had one from MOMAX when I was using the HD. The extra 10% definitely makes a difference. A;so waiting for a battery charger with USB port (so as to be able to charge the phone as well).

yea I hope mugen or momax will jump on this opportunity. Im sure most of us will need all the extra power we can take without carrying extra equipment or sacrificing the slim look of the phone.

One thing I have noticed is the stock battery is a Lithium Ion 1230mAh battery and the aftermarket ones that I have been seeing are Lithium Polymer 1100mAh battery's. I have done quite a bit of research on battery chemistries and it seems odd that the aftermarket would be releasing a different battery to the manufacturer.
Edit: With regard to suppliers another good one is www.batterymill.co.uk

The one at MOMAX is Li-Ion but only 1100mAh. I can't for the life of me understand why they would release a battery that is lower in capacity than the original.

I hope that we see such a battery in the market soon
HTC HD2 with 1500 mah (standard size) will be perfect combination

Just bought a 1300 mAh on Ebay. Not much higher capacity than the original battery, but still higher...

how many more hours will the 1300 battery last?

Another 1300 battery...but a bit cheaper. http://www.netimes.com/shop/replacement-battery-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2449.html?cPath=80_731

I bought a "1700mah" one for my Touch HD and it worked exactly the same as the standard one so I'm a bit skeptical about performance claims of same size upgrade batteries even though the HD2 could really do with a boost!

Yea, those are a dime a dozen. Always make sure that it's from a trusted manufacturer and not some ebay seller...it also doesnt hurt to do a battery test to make sure the mAh is as advertised.

Totally agree... this happens to every gadget i got from Nokia to NDSL etc
Must get from a trusted manufacturer. The extra dollar does make a big difference!

unbelievable...

i cannot believe that there isn't even 1 single 1500 capacity Battery... or even bigger that would be able to retain the original back cover.... so am i just going to have to wait until june until the HTC EVO comes out? cause isn't that being shipped with a larger battery capacity then our own?? if so, i imagine that we'd be able to use it as well right?? that phone is practically a replica of ours.. or am i mistaken??
and even if i am.. the fact that they can make a bigger battery for the EVO and not HD2 is mind blowing...

I believe I have read that the evo is actually bigger than our HD2's. In fact, it's taller.

I doubt the evo battery will work in the hd2. There is this misconception going around that the evo is basicly a hd2 with android... Its not. It's a completely different phone. Yeah, it has a similar processor, same screen size, etc. But there are a lot of phones that use similar hardware. It even looks similar. But there is a lot of different hardware. And it's a completely different model. People just have it in there head, for some reason, that the EVO and the HD2 are the same phone hardware-wise. Yes, there are similarities, but they are not interchangeable.... not with hardware OR software.

ahhh well thats disappointing... but i mean if the evo has a bigger capacity yet it still retains its small size making the evo nice and slim like the hd2.. then what's preventing us from having the same sized battery??
its all really frustrating.. because battery life is an issue with this phone....and even a 1500 would increase my life by a couple hours.. which is more then enough...

If it's got a a bigger capacity battery, the actual physical size will probably be bigger, too. If the evo is the same size as the HD2, they must have found some other way to make more space for a bigger battery. I bet mugen could maybe make a 1500mah battery that fit the hd2 if they tried... they've always been good at fitting bigger batteries in the same size of space. We just have to convince them it would be worth it.

lol sucks...i don't understand how someone would make a 1300 capacity battery and not a 1500 or 1600 one... but whatever... i'm done ranting...
but yea.. if the evo has a slim battery like ours with a 1500 capacity.. i'm hoping that some businesses will jump on the opportunity to make some cash..

i use this 1600mah andida Battery from Ebay.
check the ebay auction number: 390184360646

www.slashgear.com/htc-evo-4g-hands-on-2378816/ Scroll down for a picture with the battery cover removed.
IMO it looks quite a bit longer than our beloved HD2's. Hence the ability to cram more juice in.

So how is this battery performing?

Can you talk about the performance ofthis battery? significant increase in power? any charging issues? As I understand from ebay page, no replacement door needed - right?
thanks in advance

i used my hd2 all day including push exchange and over an hour of video and i could not make it run dead until midnight from leaving charge at 9am. is there really such a need for extended battery? i mean the iphone performs more dismally than this in bettery life and i reckon it's pretty dam good for stock battery and a smartphone with such high specs.

It all depends what you're doing. I've managed to kill a battery in 2 hours once

Extended Slim Battery...

So.... after being out for half a year... a extended SLIM battery has not been released yet?? I mean, I know i'm not the most "technical" person in the world.. but honestly?? how HARD can it possibly be??!! doesn't make one bit of sense.... and they still haven't made an OEM battery cover.. with a kick stand??!! ridiculous.. the person in charge of the accessories.. needs to be fired...
sorry just a little rant.. after seeing my friend buy a extended slim 1750mah battery for his EVO.... which is a HD2 replica..... the battery sizes are identical... and I'm not even asking for 1750... 1500mah is all i really need.. if i had an extra 2-3 hours of battery life.. then it would be PERFECT for a full days use

I posted similar thing awhile back with some moronic replies saying that there is not a market for that.
These people, rather, want you to believe that it's better to buy ebay/chinese fakes for $5-10 bucks that, ironically, labeled "1500" or "1600mah"! I dont understand why other phones, with similar form factor to the HD2, manage to get standard size extended battery with the added 200-300mah, but the HD2 only get +70mah (1300mah) from Mugen.

hear hear. The thing that annoys me the most is the battery life on the HD2, or rather, the pace on which it drains. The biggest improvement would be a battery with a bigger capacity.

How hard can it be? probably just as hard as trying to fit 2 litres of water into a 1 litre bottle

i think thats a slight overexaggeration... first of all take the evo for example.. they managed a standard size 1700mah battery... you're telling me our battery with practically the same size as the evo.. can't even get a 1500?? no sir this isn't a technical issue.. trust me.. this is just bad marketing on the hTC HD2 part.. thats all.

Are the physical dimensions of the battery the same?

Nope - biggest improvement would be a device that uses much less energy, so a battery with a capacity of 250mh would be enough for two days full of work.

the largest capacity for the stock battery size is so far mugen at 1300..
but its very very expensive.. and comes with only 70mAh more juice.. wth man..

I have designed a solution for the short battery life of the HD2, it solves a couple of problems ive seen complaints about and will increase the battery capacity beyond anything available currently, and its not and ugly lump im hoping to put it in production very soon, the only compromise is extra thickness of the phone...

My problem with this is that manufacturers start making power management decisions for me. They start reducing power output from wifi and bluetooth, they restrict standards on things like wifi (allowing 802.11g but not n), they limit screen brightness, etc. All in order to say that their unit last longer on a single battery charge.
I'm sure that the technology is there to have processors that run twice as fast as ours yet still fit in the HD2 device. They just can't make one that will last on such as small battery for more than 10 minutes. That's fine with me. Make it and let the user select how fast the processor runs.
They won't do that because they would still have to advertise that the battery lasted 10 minutes and there would be consumers out there saying, your device needs to use "much less energy, so a battery with a capacity of 250mh would be enough for two days full of work."

2430Mah battery (same size as stock)

Since i upgraded from my htc dream which had a custom japan made 2430 Mah battery iv been searching for the same thing for my O2x and iv found it.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-F...069?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb76a1fad
Its the same asize as the original battery so no gay larger backs for the phone just longer life and more time gaming and browsing, just dont buy them all ill be getting one in a couple of days.
Since they have the tech to put more power into small sized batterys it makes me wonder why these big phone makers dont use these higher capacity batterys instead of giving you some peice of **** that barely lasts a few hours of real use.

If the tech really were available within the requirements and safety measures the big manufacturers would surely deploy it.
This battery probably has nowhere near the advertised capacity, comes without the necessary safety measures like the stock ones and will decline greatly over time.
If you want premium tech you have to pay premium prizes, and while there might be some better bang-per-buck deals, this one sounds to good to be true, so I wouldn't trust it until someone confirms the battery really has that much juice.
Just my 2 cents

Oh why not check it out?
Ordering one now, will tell you all about how it perform as soon as I get it.

I already have confirmed it works did you bother to read my post i bought this battery from the same seller for my htc dream and had bit for a year and it last for almost 2 days with a lot of use, i can't say for sure that this one for the o2x will work as well but its from the same seller and its the same brand of battery from japan so I'm confident and will order one soon.
Remember its made in japan where standards must be kept it isn't from china.

Of course shoddy goods can be produced anywhere but they cannot label them as better than they are that only happens in places like china.
China regually change disk type and spoof them as better brands for sales and clone well known products like the psp and iphone and release crap labbled as psp or iphone this cant be done in japan and western countrys and thats the same kind of thing as labbeling a 2430Mah battery when its only a 1300Mah battery so im not worried as i said i already tried one of these gold premium batterys and it worked fine.
So continue with your scepticism and lose out i dont care.
And remember that when you get a new battery sometimes you need drain the battery then delete battery stats and recharge it or it will appear as tho the battery drains faster than a stock battery and if the stats think the battery is empty it will shutdown.

great find, thanks a lot for sharing.
i ordered one as well since im so sick to having permanent paranoya of running out of juice if i cant plug the device for a couple of hours....

Let's see after some months of usage, I'm usually very skeptic for those batteries with ultra high capacity (1A/h something like 75% more) at those prices.
Producers are not a bunch of idiots, IMO those batteries are simply not good enough.

Please restrain your self from using insults.
As rusty mentioned any country can make crap. And sell them for "some thing they ain't". As you seems to refer a lot to china. It might be a chines battery with a fake label. Wouldn't be the first time. Or the label might have a typo, like I hope your capital M is in all the Mah. Since: M= Mega ,m=mili. Should be written mAh.
Also since the battery is a Li-ion battery be careful with charging it, since if they get overcharged/overheated they explode. Li-ion battery explosion
And I know that the stock is Li-ion to but hopefully of a higher quality.

Well mine is on the way. Guess it will take a week or so, but I will update from day one how it performs.

If the tech is available, the phone manufacturers will definitely use. Longer juice means more profit.

i ordered it as well, i will post an update as soon as i get it.

Most rechargable batterys are Li-ion....you know this means lithium right.... 9 out of 10 rechargable batterys use this tech including the stock and they do not explode when overcharged they have chips that stop them overcharging and even with the super cheap version iv never seen one that didnt come with this even cheaper overcharging chip.
But AGAIN i already said i tried one of those 2430mah batterys with my htc dream and the battery life was doubled from the stock battery and i regually overcharged the phone overnight....no explosion. How about we just wait and see what people who have ordered one report.
In case your brain cant comprehend what you are seeing but that guy intentianally made that battery explode and very likely took apart all the safety features before doing it.
My theory on why phone manufacturers dont use higher capacity batterys is cost they want to make the most profit from their phones so why pay higher prices for better batterys when they can get low capacity ones for dirt cheap prices and slap huge price tags on their phones, if they are paying mass stock prices of £8 per battery for 1920mah or 2430mah instead of £1-£2 for crap batterys then that adds up for each unit they sell. Less cost in production means more profit.

For those that want there are a few other threads on other devices for this "brand" of batteries.

No i couldnt care less if you think im a hired salesman or some crap i used this battery before on a different phone and battery life was increased alot from stock i dont know if these batterys are just relabbled crap and i got lucky and got a 1930mah battery but in any case i got alot more time from the battery i got than from the stock so it was worth it.
Temp didnt rise much more than stock around 35c while charging up to about 41-42 if i was using at the same time. But that was the htc dream and was an old phone that phone got hot from normal use anyway because the cpu was almost always at full load.

Highest capacity of battery

Hi all,
I would like to buy a same size as ori battery with highest capacity available in the market now..
Anyone know where could I get it? What is the battery capacity? And lastly what is the price range? Thanks ya.. I'm searching for it as i donwan to charge my phone twice a day.. quite irritating..
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk

there are a few ebay sellers who sell the genuine htc battery. just search for "genuine htc ba s520" on ebay. most are based in uk. all around 15 - 20 gbp.
you will find several chinese aftermarket batteries claiming higher capacity than the 1450mah of the genuine battery, but beware. none of them (i've tested a few) actually last longer than the htc battery, in my experience. and i don't know if the quality can be trusted. they do cost a lot less than the genuine battery so it is a cheaper option.

u can try dc mugen

I want higher capacity battery so that my phone last longer between charging.. not HTC ori battery with same capacity.. thanks ya..

If it would be possible to put more capacity in the same size battery HTC would have done that from the start, you're only option is to get one of those fat 3500mah batteries from ebay with a thicker battery cover, i'm thinking of getting one of those, unfortunatly i can't put a silicon case around the phone then ...

is anyone aware which is better battery among the custom makers ?
Will be great if that is available in India .

It may be an HTC issue, like Windows, doesn't like hardware changes, it may be the rear case,who knows?
It's a thumping big thing, twice the size, but I only get about another half a day.....Whooopeee.
Thankfully it was only about five bucks.

SEIDIO SUPER EXTENDED LIFE BATTERY FOR HTC INCREDIBLE S

extended battery/door
Thanks mate, I'll take a look.

I've been using the previously mentioned Mugen 3700 mA extended battery (larger, yes, but I'm used to it already) for 2.5 weeks now.
I've completed calibrating and conditioning the battery thru the 5 discharge cycles as instructed, followed by some of the lore I've sifted from xda. It's been useful.
I used to charge in morning and had to be careful not to use my phone too much and need to charge again in one day if I used it a fair amount. My incS was used, so stock battery probably had wear.
Now I get two full days of moderate-somewhat heavy use, and very far into the 3rd day if I use it just for (many) texts and a few short calls and it sleeps half the time or more.
E.g., charged before bed, sat unplugged during sleep, heavy use today (gps for 30+ min, browsing, texts) and 71% capacity as of now.

Good try! how much it cost?

That's meant so far no identical battery with longer battery life (i.e. last 1 whole day for moderate to heavy use)? sigh...

Stick to genuine HTC batteries. Most of the Ebay fakes are far lower quality and often are mislabeled (especially if it claims higher capacity in the same form factor).
Your phone should last at least 24 hours on one charge though (unless you're using it very heavily). Try changing your habits a bit (turning off data/wifi when not using it) and also maybe try a battery calibration. If you do a battery calibration make sure you read a few guides on google and do it properly otherwise you will most likely be worse off.

Some aftermarket hi capacity battery need a special battery cover which makes it very ugly

I bought the 3500 mAh battery with fat back cover (from Ebay). Its a chinese ****s production... We know that on our IncS the antenna is placed inside of back cover. This chinese cover has some antenna as well, but the signal is much worse. For example with original cover I get like 4 full bars. With chinese ****s cover I get only 2-3 bars.
Im already having troubles with the signal in some places, but with this cover it will be even worse.. So I stay with my original HTC back cover. Dunno what to do with this 3500 battery..

why don't you buy another stock battery ?
i think stock one is gd enough.

I think that MUGEN 3600mAh is optimal high-capacity battery on the market. Its stable and reliable...

Seidio 3500mAH

Has any1 tried using Seidio batteries for Incredible S?
Apparently, they claim to use Lithium Polymer technology as opposed to Lithium-ion.
Wikipedia says Polymer is superior to ion but also more expensive.
Only mobile manufacturer known to supply phones with Lithium Polymer batteries is Sony Ericsson.
Seido 3500mAH battery for HTC Incredible S is on eBay for $69. It says its assembled in Taiwan? Its also not as FAT as Mugen's but still needs a back door, which is included. They also have a website.
Mugen might have a new, superior competitor.
