1500mah batteries, anyone tested them already?

I found some 1500mah batteries on ebay. They are dirt cheap and even have free shipping. Sounds to good to be true so anyone tested one of these batteries already?
since i cant post links look on ebay for: Legend 1500mah

The legend only came out a month or so ago, and you really believe that there are already replacement batteries with a higher capacity on the market?
If you're lucky they'll only be of inferior capacity. If you're not so lucky you might end up with a destroyed phone, or worse like severe body burns from an exploding piece of crap battery made by a Chinese company that couldn't give a damn.
Protect your phone by not buying one. Protect other consumers by not buying one, thus reducing the amount of counterfeit product on the market. Protect yourself from bodily harm by not buying one...

Although I praise your concerns about my personal safety that wasn't the question. I know they are dirt cheap and I know what the risks of faulty batteries are. But you can't judge everything on gut feeling so that's why I'm asking if anyone had experience with them. If they are selling them people must be buying them.

Sadly people buying a product doesn't actually say much about it's build quality but I'll not bother you further with that
If someone has a good report on those batteries I'd also be interested in reading it. But are people allowed to browse the net from the Intensive Care unit? (only kidding)

wow, sounds very ominous, beware the evil battery

I would be interested to know if these are a scam or not.
Does anyone offer a larger capacity battery for the Legend yet? (Or is it likely they will?)

for alot of phones there are large capacity batteries how ever for the legend its harder i guess. Mostly the higher capacity batteries are slightly bigger but the legend design doesnt allow any room for that. So it has to be a battery with exactly the same dimensions.

Well if you look all over eBay (sorry can't post link) there are 1500mAh battery's widely available from Hong Kong and the likes!
But for €6, i dunno will it even work!

Why do you want others to "test" these batteries for you?
Why not buy one yourself - test it - then let us know what they are like?

Haha!
Nice!

my nkia e71 battery is virtually the same size, so there is no reason why there can't be a good quality 1500 at some point

nokia e71's screen is about half the size, not a touchscreen, inferior technology to the legend's, far fewer apps so much less usage etc etc etc

I'm not comparing the phone, only the battery.

but the battery is only as good as the power requirements determined by the phone's components and applications. I'm sure if you stuck the legend's battery into an old brick it would also last ages, but that's largely because it's not being drained by anything

He is saying the battery has the about the same physical dimensions and packs 1500mAh, so it is possible to make a good quality battery with these specs.

Got it, but I meant the current battery is probably just as good quality wise, but more juice is being sucked and at a faster rate.
Here's another way of putting it, do you know of any amoled touchscreen smartphone that runs many apps, WiFi, gps etc etc and lasts several days of regular use?

ive just ordered one 1500mAh HIGH CAPACITY BATTERY FOR HTC LEGEND its on ebay but its a uk company called ecell, ive had stuff of them before and the quality always seems good, ill post back when ive got it and tested

I have exactly the same one in mine Legend.
To be honest....it is ****.
Some e-mailing, browsing, a hour of music listening and BOOM...it's drained.

I honestly think original battery is better.

That's completely irrelevant. The Legend packs a 1300mAh battery, the Nokia E71 apparently has a 1500mAh battery with the same dimensions.
All he's saying is that it's possible to make a trustworthy 1500mAh battery that would fit the HTC Legend. No one's comparing battery life, we're comparing battery capacity. I don't see how the draining rate of the battery is relevant. A 1500 mAh battery has 15% more capacity than a 1300mAh battery and thus has 15% longer battery life. What's not to understand about this?

Whatever...

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

Thin extended battery?

Is there any thin extended battery that works with original back cover of hd2?

Well if it was thin it wouldnt be an "extended" battery would it? The whole point is that its extended to fit more power into it.
If it was easy to get more power into a battery then HTC would already supply them with the HD2 and extended ones wouldn't be needed/wanted.

apperantly you dunno anything about material science.
CAN'T a new battery with a better performance with SAME SIZE come out? Oh of course no! cuz it doesn't have bigger size.

Don't think there are any worth considering... there are 1600mah batteries on ebay but the overall consensus is that they're just about the same as ome battery ... it would truly make HD2 a much better phone if they can just extend the stock battery by a bit...

Apparently your logic and maners are weak. If you bothered to flip through next two pages of this section, you would find at least two threads about batteries. In those threads you would find that there is no slim extanded battery in existance for HD2.

lol, your scientific/logical huge brain obviously missed the point.
You asked for an "extended" battery, that would infer you wanted one that was "extended" beyond the normal limits. Currently the only way to get one that is beyond the limits of the ones that are supplied with devices are to buy ones that are "extended" meaning they are larger in dimension and hold more power.
Currently you CANT get a battery for our device that has the capacity of a extended one unless its "extended". The ones you see on ebay and other sites saying otherwise are FAKE.

You should dial back the Smarmy attitude amigo. Athiest is spot on by the way. The only way (currently) to have an extended battery for the HD2 is to make the battery larger.

I suspect that if someone made a genuine Lithium Polymer battery instead of Li-Ion it would indeed hold more charge. But I have not seen any such. The Andida is listed as LiPoly, but it can't be - it is basically the same mA as the stock battery.

Mugen has a 1300mah battery, which is a little more than the 1230 or 1250mah the stock battery comes with. I think I get a little more time with my mugen battery than with the stock, but never ran any definitive tests. But mugen is probably the best you will get with a battery the same size as the stock one.

Why do you guys disinform people? As a matter of fact there are "extendend" batteries that have the same size as the OEM batt. Where it is written that a battery extended in power must also be extended in size? Of course, there is a relation between size and power, but this relation might vary depending on the materials and the technology used.
Here you have a 2430 mAh battery (the "famous" business gold battery, which no one here bothered to test), and the seller says it has the same dimensions as the original one. If this battery has indeed 2430 mAh remains for us to find out. I'm thinking to buy one, just to test.

Nowhere in the add does it state that it is the same size as the OEM battery. I'm wondering if it really is; from the picture angles it is difficult to tell and might be deeper. But it is probably the same.
However, the packaging looks amateurish and suspect. This almost looks like a home-made wrapper.
Let us know if you order one!

Gold Battery
OK, I asked the seller about the size and if it will work with the stock cover, here is the answer:
"Hi,
I think it will work with it and the battery has a same size as standard battery."
On looking at the pictures, the batteries may be from Japan, but that is Chinese writing on the battery... or at least it is identical to my Andida "1600" writing.

Yeah...I would'nt put that battery into my HD2...seriously, that looks sketchy as hell. IF it turns out to be 2300mAH, which I highly doubt...it looks REALLY amateur-ish. It's all about memory management people, close crap thats running in RAM and your stock battery will last literally ALL day.

I really hope that you're joking.

Well I'm not, call me stupid, call me whatever you want but I do believe what I said for a main reason: one of my hobbies are rc flying models, both electric and with combustion engines. In this hobby you need powerfull batteries for controllers or engines (NiCD, NiMh, LiPo). I have a range of these batteries of different capacities and some of them have the same size but different power (eg: a 750mAh has the same size as a 2200 one). Of course, the ones that are more powerful are not cheap, but it's money well spent.
I'm not saying that the ugly looking "gold"battery which seems to be wrapped by a 5 years old kid has 2430mAh, but it worths tested. I just want to put this battery on the ohmmetter to read it's values. Regarding the safety for my device, I used chinese batteries on other phones too (spv m3100, kaiser) and none exploded, got bigger or overheat; they do loose their capacity much faster but if you are on low budget a 10 bucks battery saves your as* for a couple of months.

No one is calling you stupid, but you do seem ill-informed.
Cell phones are not the same as hobbyist 3rd party suppliers. Batteries for rc devices are much more third party friendly than cell phones. What we're likely buying from these Chinese manufacturers are probably cast-off batteries that didn't make it through quality control.
Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't.
I asked if you were joking because the battery you linked was blatantly sketchy. It isn't even worth checking unless you just like to throw money away.

Where did you get this feedback?

I wish people would just give up trying to find a higher capacity battery which is of the same size. If it was that easy wouldn't you think HTC and ALL major phone manufacturers with their vast resources wouln't want the same thing? A few mm less in dimensions or a higher capacity battery can mean far better sales (millions more).
From experience with tons of mobile phones and 3rd party batteries they have always come out worse 99.99% time. Most of them are cheaply made where they blatantly lie about there actual capacity, don't meet safety standards, can explode, can bulge, overheats etc.
How many more threads about these cheapo batteries quoted with much higher capacity that is pulled out of thin air.
Not to rant but if you want more juice I recommend you get the official HTC extended 2300mah or Mugem battery. I'm afraid you can't have a thin phone and more juice. end of

Ebay sellers that sell the same battery

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.

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.

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.

There's a level of respect and decor that you should maintain in this forum. It makes me wonder if you're some hired salesman from ECell, but that's just speculation and not an accusation.
For the people that ordered this battery, please do give a report of how this performed.Tell us about how hot it gets while charging, what are the battery stats like, and how much real time usage does it give you.

I'm a heavy user and sometimes the battery wont last a day. I will report in how it performs as soon as I get it, so no worries

For the people that ordered this battery, please do give a report of how this performed.Tell us about how hot it gets while charging, what are the battery stats like, and how much real time usage does it give you.

Ill respond to someone in the same manner that they reply to me if they cant handle it then they should learn to deal with people better.
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.

extended life battery for n7000 - recommendations?

As per thread title, looking for an extended life battery - but dont want to end up with one that comes nowhere near what its rated for....like the 5400 mh battery I bought off ebay last year. Its so poor, it doesnt even last half the length of the standard oem battery!
Does anyone have an extended life battery for the n7000 that actually lives up to the declared spec??

Hm not that i know off.
You might want to turn your screen brightness down, ive found that matter quite a bit.
As for batteries with more capacity... Well youve said it, tho its a bit weird if the batteries capacity really measures 5000mah(?) It should ofcourse last.

I've tried that - but in certain circumstances, its simply not practical - if out and about somewhere that its sunny. I've gone back to setting it to automatic in this respect - so it adjusts to conditions.

I guess they should. However, around the time I bought that battery, there was discussion on here re. the expensive mugen batteries - and that they were not coming anywhere close to the rated capacity. There were mixed reports re. other chinese batteries - some good, some bad. I took a punt on that battery - it was cheap - but it turned out to be rubbish.
Perhaps the way to go is one of these portable power packs rather than a replacement battery? However, again I'd imagine that some are better than others. Is someone of you already using one of these? Anyone care to make a recommendation?
Would this be worthwhile?

Despite the big price tag, my N7000 has served me very well - its become an essential item. Although I have to carefully 'manage' it on a day to day basis (always having it charged to the max before I leave home - and having a back up battery with me), the greatest difficulty is when I leave home for an extended period. Ironically, this is also when I rely so much on the device also. With heavy usage, battery power just trickles away rapidly.

This its a question which I'm also interested in.
I found as I thought a good and not cheep battery on eBay but before purchasing I checked it in goggle and found android forum where people complain about this bataries. They looked under the sticker and the real battery power was something like 1500 mh instead of 5200.
So I deside not to risk with chip Chinese bataries.
If I had local store which sells bataries I would by. Thus I could change battery off it has fake marking.
Using standard browser with reversed colors can save battery life on amoled screen.
I used to this view and now some websites look even better.
I also tried some cpu tweaking tools.
Funny, today because of marketing companies put more unnecessary cores in the phones and than people install software to turn them off.

My experience with new batteries is not so great. Guess all companies make inflated claims. On the other hand I see significantly better battery performance on OMNIRom 4.4 atleast in standby mode. YMMV
