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.

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!

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.

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.
Planning to buy a second battery for the HD2.
Certainly would be convenient to be able to charge the spare battery externally, and have it ready for use.
Anyone know of an external battery charger that is available? Anyone here actually tried one, and could tell us if it works well or not?
I see one on Ebay-
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-AC-WALL...CH-HD2-T8585-/290466531133?pt=PDA_Accessories
Don't know if it is any good though.
Also, not sure if it is really for the HD2 battery. The ad says it is for the "HTC TOUCH HD2 T8585".
Is the HD2 ever called "Touch HD2"? Or do they have it confused with the Touch Pro? What is that number T8585?
Farther down I thought I recall it said something like "for Sprint HD2", although I don't see that now. Sprint doesn't have the HD2, does it?
Even at a cheap price like that, it would be kind of a drag to buy that, and it doesn't fit the HD2 battery at all, then you have to pay for return shipping. (At least it is shipped from the USA, unusual for that kind of thing.)
Anyone here tried one of these, or another one? It would certainly add to the convenience, if one has an extra battery, to be able to charge one externally? (This one says it can charge two, but I don't see how from the pic.)
I just bought a spare battery from this place.

I bought one and it cooks my batteries. We should start a thread dedicated to finding after market and OEM batteries online. I purchased several batteries from ebay vendors and IMMEDIATELY tested them using a Triton (RC Hobby Computer chargers) it is sophisticated and charges to max recommended voltage then MEASURES the wattage during a fixed drain cycle. I sent up the drain cycle assuming a 5 hour talk time. (MAH of batteries / 5). EBAY batteries consistently only gave 750-850 mah although they claimed over 1000. One seller (I tested 2 batteries) only had 450 and 465 mah.
I purchased cradle chargers, "OEM" Car chargers, as well as wall chargers. The bottom line is that Chinese produced items are prey to the lowest price regime that is the nature of the Chinese market. Quality is non existent, just the lowest price for an item that resembles a quality product.
Stick with verizon, sprint etc chargers that are proven and tested. That was the best solution for me. I tried to purchase an "OEM" HTC [email protected] charger ebay. It had a poor replica of an HTC logo and it also seems to overcharge and cook my batteries.
Anyone else have any experience or opinions?
Now you got me scared about buying one of the battery chargers.
By the way though, just about everything we buy here (certainly electronics) is made in China. But yes, if it is non brand name, or fake brand name, it might not (or might) have the same quality. (And if shipped from China, not worth returning if it is a dud.)
You say "stick with Verizon and Sprint chargers". Well, the HD2 is not sold by Sprint and Verizon. Are you saying they put out a charger for one of their phones, that uses the exact same batteries? Link to those chargers? Thanks.

Thank you, but just telling us where you bought your battery and charger don't tell us much, without a review of them.
I also posted a link to a charger in the OP, and asked if anyone has tried it, and knows if it is any good.
The previous poster wrote that the no-name chargers can damage the batteries. I don't know if he or she is correct or not, but it scared me about buying one. The battery and charger you linked to are no-name. Have you tested them, the way the previous poster did?
Also, the products you linked to seem very expensive, but I don't know the relationship of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars. Anyone know?
Well, I just bought the one I mentioned in the second post, from Ebay.
At $5.99, free shipping, ships from the USA, I figure not much to lose.
I guess I'll be nervous whether the poster is correct about generic chargers "cooking" batteries. I don't know how I would know, if the charger is damaging to batteries or not. Would they be too hot after charging?
By the way, for those interested in a "cradle" for the HD2, which also has a space for charging an extra battery, I saw one on Amazon, about $20. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1FZ013TFV210J7ZAEDS6
(I have no need for a cradle though, and prefer the small charger only design.

lol.. i am using the charger and battery as we speak... and its not some no-name charger and battery.. the brand is MOMAX.. they have a website momax.net which shows their items.. the battery is fit for use for HD2 original battery and the momax battery, which is why i bought it.. the charger has got 2 charging points, direct to hd2 like the normal charger, and external battery charging function, which is what i liked about it.. no need to switch between 2 chargers, 1 stop solution for the battery in my phone and the other spare battery, whether is it the original battery or their momax battery.
Well, having a name one never heard of like "Momax", doesn't mean the product is not "no name". By the latter I did not mean no name at all, but not a recognized brand name.
Not saying that all products without a recognized brand name are no good (I ended up ordering one, in fact), just that one is taking a chance. (And I think I would have taken just as much of a chance with "Momax" as with the one I ordered.) Besides, the one I ordered was shipped from the USA, much better for returns, quick shipping, etc., than something ordered from Hong Kong.
By the way, do you work for that company "Momax"?

Where did you get yours from? I ordered one off of Ebay for 5 bucks. Got it 3 weeks later and it worked for one charge, then died. I emailed them and they agreed to send me another one without question, but it's going to be another 3 weeks until I see it.
lol.. of course not rofl..
im from Singapore, not Hong Kong.. and besides, shipping from Hong Kong to where i live is cheaper than from europe and the states, not to mention currency conversion..
I really wish there was a cradle charger that worked with the Otterbox cases!

nope, not me..
I have the charger pictured in the 2nd post here, ive had it for over 2 months charging batteries in it daily and have had no problems with the charger or batteries.
The seller i bought it from was US based and they also shipped 2 additional batteries with it, so i now rotate my batteries. I have one in the phone, a spare that i carry in my wallet, and one in the charger at all times. When the phone battery dies it goes into the charger, the charged one goes to my wallet ,and the one in my wallet goes to the phone.
I started doing this ever since I had to return by HD2 due to a damaged USB port causing it to go into car kit mode. I think i have only used this new HD2's USB port twice for charging since i got it. I prefer to just swap the batteries.
This works out great because i never have to worry about carrying around a charger and finding a place to stop for awhile to charge up a bit
It does however seem the charger is incapable of charging a battery and phone via the usb port simultaneously. If i put a dead battery in it the charge light will light up red to indicate it is charging, as soon as i plug something into the usb port the light will go blue to indicate charging is done. Im guessing the internal power supply isnt beefy enough to simultaneously charge both
Just bought the same charger listed in the 2nd post. Seller informed me of delayed USPS pickup due to the snow storm in NY area
Oh well for $5 if it doesn't work as expected it won't hurt my wallet.
charger arrived last night, tested with the stock battery. Charged to full in 3 hours, so far so good.
Only complaint: the charger is slight narrower compared to the battery, so about 1/8 inch of the battery is sticking out during the charging process. It does look cheap but gets the job done. Besides, it's only $5.
Now I just swap batteries (I bought an extra battery elsewhere) and don't have to use the USB port to charge anymore, woohoo!
going to buy this charger from ebay..will review it later when it comes

Busted USB port here, about 6 months ago, bought the same charger and a spare battery, and it hasn't failed me yet. The battery does stick out the one side a bit, but it works. Only problem I ever had was the one time I let my gf switch my batteries in it and she bent one of the charger's contact pins. I bent it back, and it's worked well since.
I actually prefer battery swapping now over charging.
Arg.
So my otherwise adorable 1 year old somehow got his hands on my Captivate this weekend. When we finally caught him, he was chewing and slobbering on it pretty much right where the USB port is. After getting the phone back out of his grubby little hands, my wife and I took it completely apart and have had the whole works soaking in rice for a day or so.
When I put it back together, it booted just fine, and everything seems to be in working order. Except...when I plug a cable into the USB port, it doesn't charge, and it doesn't connect to my computer for storage mounting/flashing. This would be a bit of a problem.
I've checked for obstructions in the port itself and there don't seem to be any. I can get by for now without charging because my wife and I have the same phone (so we can periodically swap batteries...), but she's leaving town for two weeks at the end of this week. I really don't want to have to buy a new phone...so any ideas on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Once the USB port is gone its gone, you would need to get an external wall charger for it and a wifi file browser.
there might be some moister in it yet, but generally the captivates had issues with the USB port just flaking out like that. Its a common problem for this phone, and also has happened to mine.
Or you can just pay ~35$ to get it fixed, look in my sig. They are good!

Hmm...I didn't even realize that was an option. I'll be looking into that. Thanks!
They fixed mine and it works great. I would also order a new cable from them for like 7 bucks. It is all well worth it!
interesting, didnt know about that one either
Update:
It's apparently not *quite* as dead as I thought. It's still not recognizing my computer or telling me that it's charging...but apparently it is actually charging my battery. I plugged it into my computer just to see and left it. It never said that the phone is charging, but when I came back a few minutes later the battery meter had gone up, and it's still doing that fairly consistently.
That's at least good news for now. Even if the USB transfer is dead, I'm still OK as long as I can charge. As long as I don't have to use download mode...
That sounds like a bad cable, just buy one of those first, cheaper and easier to check!

It's nothing to do with the cable. We have four USB cables and two different car chargers. It's the same thing with all of them, and they all work perfectly on my wife's phone.

My first Captivate had a USB port go bad.. I tried 10 different cables and decided for some reason it was a ROM issue and got into download mode.. well let's just say I was buying another Captivate the next day.. lol
I did resurrect it by buying a Captivate with a broken screen on Ebay cheap. Combined the two and it's actually a later production and the GPS works good compared to hardly at all before. M yold screen and new guts.. Now I have a spare phone to try new Roms on without messing up my daily driver.. (Dark Knight 4 atm)
I see broke screen Captivates for $40-80 on Ebay regularly..
My wife also has a captivate with a dead USB port. So I went on amazon and searched for captivate batteries and external charger and found a package that came with 2 extended life batteries and the wall charger that charges one separatly from the phone while you use the other in the phine . Its made by Laza wireless and both batteries and charger was 15.99 and shipped free. Got it in two days and works great and was a whole lot cheaper than a phone.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but, I have had the same problem for months also caused by a toddler sucking on the phone and cables. I swap batteries daily. stock/1800/2430 mah. I am curious if anyone knows of a wireless charging option. I know my wii batteries are inductive and it is just the new battery and charger on a stock remote. is there an inductive charger and battery available for cappy? is wireless charging dangerous to the phone if it wasnt designed with it in mind? for that matter is anything available for anyother phones besides the lumia 920 and maybe nexus I think?
cheapest, best option is to get the USB port repaired by mobiletechvideos.com, imho.
I know of no induction solution for captivate that works without a good usb port.
I figured and also thought the Cappy wouldn't be a device supported by a new battery developer when there is so many newer ones out.

maybe it doesn't, but your way of thinking is flawed, and greedy.
charging cradle is using standard micro usb connection. 99% of the cables/chargers will work with it. everyone own a few at least, they come with nearly every device. micro usb is present on more than 90% of devices. you charge everything with one cable. yet you are trying to get the original charger - for no reason.

I guess I wasn't around whenever you were crowned "knower of all things usb and resale", strange though considering you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. First of all having the original box and original contents along with any item being resold greatly increases the overall chance of it selling, it reduces the amount of time it takes to sell, and most importantly items sold with their original box and contents on average bring in 15% - 30% MORE MONEY than the exact same items being sold without the original box and contents. So wow, just wow, it actually does make a difference whether you want to believe it or not. But I guess whenever you sell something of yours you just give it away for practically nothing because otherwise you'd be greedy right? Let me know whenever you're ready to sell your Gear because I'd be happy to give you $20 bucks for it! Secondly, just because a different cable might fit into the port doesn't mean that it'll work the same way. You're "any old cable will do" theory is kind of ridiculous considering cables by themselves have different resistances which alone could cause longer charge times and faster battery drain, and each adapter has it's own voltage and amp outputs which can also effect different devices in different ways. It's funny how none of those things ever crossed your mind yet somehow you're an authority on the subject. LOL Wow just wow!

I tried waiting at Samsung web site for over 3 weeks for a battery, with no response, I have 2 note 4, black and white for me and my wife...
my 4 older Samsung batteries and 2 charger kits and they don't hold a charge anymore, from about 10 - 15 percent left, they shut down...
I just bought anker batteries on ebay with a charger for about $31, they hold a charge to 1%.. about 2 weeks ago.
they are lasting much better than the samsungs. and buying Samsung batteries on ebay or amazon.. u might be getting these fake batteries that don't last..

The ones on Amazon are 99% fake knock offs which risk fire. Any story you have read online about a phone catching fire is usually either a result of a cheap knock off battery or adapter.
The only two places that have Note 4 batteries still are 100% legit.

and the Best Buy kit I posted earlier in the thread. Anywhere else is questionable.
If a big box store gets them like B & H they will be legit too.
Amazon's inventory has been proven to be compromised. Several have posted online about their batteries even "shipped and sold by amazon" had been clones.
In case you didnt know this happens often on Amazon. The SD Card market and perfume market on Amazon even from Amazon is also like this.
I'm using the Zerolemon 10000mah battery, also if there is a Batteries+ they stock standard replacement batteries for most phones.
Im very happy with Anker bought on Amazon.

I'm looking for a replacement battery for my 910T. I remember Samsung had a battery and external charger for the spare battery...?
Anyway, wondering if anyone can suggest a good place (price) for a genuine Samsung battery.
Thanks in advance.

I definitely recommend the anker batteries. You can buy them on Amazon.

Hey DeeXii, really appreciate your information. But the Samsug page directs you to purchase it from Amazon. It says it is shipped and sold by Amazon too. Do you think this one is legit as long as it is sold by Amazon? Cause it is heck of a lot cheaper than the BestBuy one...

I would recommend the one from Anker, same capacity as OEM from a reputable brand that makes batteries. It also comes with 18 month warranty and a bit cheaper than OEM one. If you still want the OEM one make sure it is shipped and sold by Amazon.com and you should be fine.
I ordered 2 anker and a external charger on eBay for $35
I hope they're real.

1 battery can last me one day, sometimes down to 30 percent, depends on what I am doing, other times, down to 20 and under.. but it makes the day, then I swap and use the other, but only when it drains to 1 2 or 3...
they are better than all these knock off, I think I paid $31.. but they are better than all my old ones put together, wait till my wife come back from vacation, she will definitely take 1, then I will have 4 old batteries. then I have to test the old batteries and anything that shuts down from 20 or 15 percent is getting retired, junked out..
maybe I will have to buy another set to be happy..

I just Re-read your post, you did say that. Well I got (hopefully) the same thing, I think I paid $32 to be exact. Fingers crossed.
I'm waiting on these in the mail. I wonder if they will be good? Ebay item 201375415018 How would I tell if they are fakes?
I'm waiting for my anker package with 2 batteries and an external charger myself.
I read in another thread, they blame the quick charge 2.0 puck for damaging the batteries. Saying the increase voltage pushed to the battery for fast charging is what kills the life of the battery.
So my question is, those who have replaced Samsung with aftermarket batteries, are you still charging at night with the Samsung qc2.0? Or just using a 1amp or 2amp charger?
Help appreciated.
Mostly use the old 2A charger to prolong battery longevity. Need a quick boost? Adaptive fast charger or turbo charger from moto.
I unlocked your mum's bootloader.
Well I disabled fast charge option on the phone so it should be charging at a "normal" rate now and not the high voltage charging.
So far these anker batteries seem excellent, at least compared to my very degraded original samsung batteries. A deal for 2 Batts and a external charger Imho.
The more I use regular charging, my battery appears to improve and return to normal. All this only supports my reservation towards devices with sealed batteries.
