Seidio 3200 mah super extended battery
Seidio is working on an 3200 mah extended battery for Kaiser that is thinner than this 2400 battery.

yes i am quiet curious on this as well.. i wanna know about the hybrid cases too...

Any news on this?

i am still waiting for this.... any updates?

I am curious too. Seidio seems to make good quality products. I am happy with their case and probably go for this battery

We are definitely working on this, and right now the ETA is sometime in May.
Thanks,
Seidio

Example or estimate on size???

I don't know anything about physical size yet, but my understanding is that the capacity should be in line with most of our other larger extended batteries (at least 3200mAh).
Thanks,

I hope it will have a battery cover similar to the mugen one... It's much better covering the entire Tilt than only the battery..

should I just plain give up with the search for cases when it comes to these extended batteries ???
I baby my Kaiser with a few cases ( crystal clear ... armor ...leather ...etc ) ... and then I went & got the Mugen extended battery ...
Now my precious Kaiser is prone to damage due to lack of cases made for these batteries !!!
Please Seidio !!! ... if your company planned to make these extended batteries .... make sure to also design a case for it as well !!!
Thanks !!!

Get a case that was made for a thicker phone like the 8125. It may work.
Here is a size comparison. Just remember to add in the battery thickness as well.
http://www.sizeasy.com/page/size_comparison/6094-AT-T-8525-vs-AT-T-Tilt-vs-Cingular-8125

i have just read in another forum that seidio said that they were going to release the 3200mah battery in march...
its already the end of april and still nothing... whats going on here?

send them an email and ask them.

maybe they are taking a leaf out of htc's book

i was thinking about it, but then again i have also read that seidio takes extremely long to respond...

P.M. seidioseidio and see if he knows anymore.

My old Seido leather case for the 6700 ext. battery works.

Hey guys...sorry it's taken so long, but we've had a lot of projects in the works. The Tilt battery was pushed back, but we do expect to have it in stock by the end of May.
Thanks,

hey seidio what could you tell us thats for sure about the new batt... any new news?

Close to stock battery cover with 3200mAh

This is the closest to the stock Hero door I could find with a extended battery. It comes with the 3200mAh battery and teh door for 79.95

I have not tryed this out becuase I dont have 79 dollars because I have spent my entire check on apps LOL. So if anyone has tryed this one out tell us about it.

BUt 10 dollars cant go wrong! Ordering now.

Careful, that eBay item appears to be for the euro/GSM Hero, not the CDMA Sprint Hero. The backplate looks far too square to fit a CDMA Hero.

Yeah it's questionable, I bought one for the battery reviewer (from the battery reviews in my sig) so I can atleast find out if it's a good battery.

Ummm... ok here's a novel question... how do you cope with putting a case on your Hero when it comes to these extended batteries? I have the body glove case from Sprint and there is no way I could fit it on my Hero if I had a larger back cover. Do a lot of people just not have their Hero's in cases? Or what else are people using to protect their Heros? Cuz I wouldn't mind having one of them longer lasting batteries myself

They sell strap cases where you just put them on your belt loop and you can just insert your Hero into them and take them out. Not protected 100% percent of the time but it just makes you be more careful. But I just don't use a case on at all.

I ordered an Otterbox Impact series, 12 bucks from amazon.

heres one from ebay that acually goes to the HERO200 (cdma sprint hero) for like 16 bucks.. just incase you guys are still looking.. the door looks pretty close to stock.. hope this helps guys...

thats funny.. ive had plenty of mugen batteries in the past plus seidio..and never had one problem etc.. if that mugen 3200 mAh battery is really 1785 then wouldnt it not last very much longer than the stock battery? my brother has the mugen 3200 and it lasts almost as long as my seidio 3500 mAh..
so I dont understand how that can be true unless that mugen was defective!!!

actually....it's a 1790mAh batt instead of a 3200mAh, but even so it seems to last alot longer than the stock battery. I complained to the seller and I got it for free so whatever. I'll let you know how the new 2600mAh one is, I wish the batterboss would review (which btw, go check out his review on the Mugen "3200mAh")
I have the link in my sig, I mean Yes, the Mugen got near 2400mAh which is better than the no name....but at what, nearly 700-800% price increase!!!

The cover that comes with it fits well and is quite comfortable though sadly it doesn't incorporate the 1790mAh battery, so I still have to run with that coverless (though with a vinyl case as a back cover).
The battery itself has quite good battery life, and I'm sure it's going to get better with future charges. I'll let you guys know if it gets any better, though I can definitely recommend it at this point.

will we see extended battery's?

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:

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:

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.

now I understand what you ment. No, not for me.

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.

Where to buy genuine HTC HD2 battery?

Anyone have any idea where I can order the genuine battery for the HD2? My stock battery is dying and it would be awesome if I can get a brand new one that performs well. So far, I ordered two of those Chinese imitation batteries from two different sellers and they have the same serial number haha. They don't hold nearly as much charge as they should. Any suggestions?

is the mould 100% same on this battery & the wrapping cut & folded the same.
Also look at print for matching size & quality.
Most batteries at that price will not be original but if lucky it will be quite good battery in a HTC copy wrapper.
Another way to tell is get other buyers to forward the serial of battery, copies only have a few differing serials at best & normally just one.

Haha... now I'm worried about copy wrappers.
Original battery on the left and new one from Amazon link on the right. (I'm pretty sure... could have gotten them backwards). I'll go dig around for their serial numbers online and see what I find.

Hard to tell from that image. compare moulding on edges & how wrapper is folded around. Also look at water label & contacts. Original battery contacts are quality copper & look a bit satin if look at an angle but look shiny when view straight, copy batteries normally have a cheaper coated contact which is shiny at all viewing angles.
If it performs ok & charges without getting over hot don't worry about it too much.

They look exactly identical in every single aspect. So much so that I wouldn't know which was the originial if I hadn't taken a pic. No heat issues and I've been abusing the Netflix app testing both batteries.

You got a battery with the correct markings; at that price point, it is almost certainly a Chinese relacement. Be sure and report back after three charge cycles with the measured capacity.

We usually get what we pay for... so I wouldn't bet against you. I do plan on testing it under my normal usage after a few charge cycles and see how it does. I'm a medium to heavy user of batteries.

I'm a little leary; the photo says 1500, but the description says 1300...

Original batteries are heavier than these cheap rip-offs. They use the copy wrapper to mask their lesser capacity.

Some copy HTC batteries will be same weight or even heavier.
I have a fake HTC battery that I picked up for my Touch Pro, slightly heavier & performs as good as original but probably not for as long as original cell.
problem with copies is quality goes from trash to almost on par with original but with not much way of telling what you are going to get.
I went for a compact USB power pack as got bored of looking at fake HTC batteries & official HTC retail outlet prices can be ridiculous, plus swapping, booting & charging 2 cells is a pain at times.
