Hello all, I just got a droid incredible and I'm super disappointed with the battery life, I had a moto droid and got this phone as a replacement, the battery drains sooooo quickly its pretty ridiculous, HTC could've easily popped in a 1500 mah battery for us. Well anyways, I was looking for a replacement battery for the inc.
Paying 50 dollars for a battery is unacceptable in my eyes, I just want to use the standard case but have a little extra boost.
I found these on ebay:
cgi.ebay.com/High-Quality-Battery-Sprint-HTC-Evo-4G-1800mAh-x2-/250660990012?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a5c8f2c3c#ht_3148wt_807
wondering if anyone has tried them out? you can buy one for 7 bucks so I think it's a good deal just to try them out for awhile and see if they perform well. I'll be ordering some soon and post my results.
Anyone else thinking about these batteries or already purchased one?
Any cheap battery from china always dies super fast after a couple of weeks .....i know because I bought like 7 batteries from china and they all sucked. The ones for my incredible die in an hour of playing with it and my blackberry storm battery wouldn't even stay on the night I left it off the charger... ..don't but batteries from china......

just remember you get what you paid for. generally cheap batteries from overseas might last you a week maybe less. like the post before mine. id hafta agree 100% with him. those batteries are that cheap for a reason. get a quaility battery that works with the phone. their are many posts on here in reguards to what batteries work and what dont. take a look around.
I second this - not for phones, but we bought some super cheap chinese batteries off amazon for our canon camera. THey lose their charge in less than a week of non-use. Basically useless for backup batteries.
Oh awesome thanks for the replies, maybe ill just get the seidio 1750 then or the HTC 1500. Thanks again

There is a seller on ebay selling a legit 1500 htc battery for 15$. I can't find the thread cuz I'm on my phone but if I search on here you should find it. There was a recent post with the link in another battery thread. I have one and I'm super happy with it

I have one of those, and routinely get 4-5 hours of active use out of it. 18 up/5 awake just yesterday.
Also remember to charge the battery while the phone is OFF for maximum charge, if you plan to use it to full capacity.
Yeah I get about 24 up and 10 awake but I'm using an underclocked setcpu profile. And I normally leave 3g on, play games, tons of texts and always on the web.

I have one of those 3000mah batterys from ebay, like 12 shipped. The rear case turns the incredible from a phone into a phone/hockey puck hybrid. Its awesome. I get amazing battery life. With mild usage, ive gone 52 hours on a single charge (bump charged). Yesterday, i spoke on the phone for ~2 hours, played mp3s on the phone connected to a sound system for ~4 hours, plus lots of text, LOTS of playing Angry Birds, uploading pictures to flickr and more, and when i got home i had 62% still. Love it.
Before 3 hours of good use and battery was toast on stock battery.

Avoid the Seidio 1750 battery. Someone on Android Central did a discharge test of the HTC 1500 and the Seidio battery and the results came back almost identical. Seidio claims their battery gets better after a few charges but if both use the same chemistry then so will the HTC 1500. I'm not saying that the Seidio is a bad battery just saying its over priced. Just look for an OEM Touchpro2 1500mah battery.
FYI: I bought a Seidio battery before I read the thread. I'm not upset just next time I will do more research before being from them again.
I bought the HTC OEM 1500. They're available on eBay and Amazon for $15 or less available in red and black =P so far its a lot better than the 1300. Good info in the forum

I bought a Chinese 3500mah extended battery from a guy in Hong Kong on EBay for 10 bucks, and my phone lasts all day with moderate usage versus only lasting 4 or 5 hours with the stock battery.
I'm still going to get the seidio 3500 just because it comes with a nicer back.

I think it's hit and miss with Chinese-made batteries...
For example, last year I bought four Chinese generic li-ion batteries for my Canon DSLR. When I moved, I misplaced two of the batteries. I found them about two months ago and they still had three out of three bars of charge (could be anywhere from 100%-67% charge, not sure). But that was not bad, I thought, for sitting idle, off the charger, for eight months.
I also picked up a generic 9-cell battery for my Dell XPS last year. $20. It still, a year later, can run the laptop for a good four hours or so. Solid battery.
But, I've seen evidence on this site and others about Chinese manufacturing of counterfeit batteries and memory cards and other devices that will give me reason to think twice in the future... The gent at http://batteryboss.org/ will open your eyes pretty quickly. There are even photos of batteries with their plastic casing, which states 1500mah, only having an 1100mah cell. Ridiculous.
i bought an OEM HTC EVO 1500mah off ebay, there are a bunch now....i paid 16 bucks...
here is one llink

http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-OEM-15...Accessories&hash=item3a5f725ba4#ht_726wt_1140
why buy cheap chinese batts when you can get oem for a little more, not 50 bucks either...the 1500 lasts me ALL day, with heavy use...hour and half commute...twice, browsing, forums....games, you name it...i do have 2 cheapie chinese batts just for an extra boost if i find myself away too long, but they are only if i run out of my HTC juice, which is very rare
..delete.. how the hell did I get in this forum?

what do you guys think about this?

don't know that I'd buy it. especially coming from hong kong it's probably pretty terrible qualitywise, but I like that battery cover better than the actualy HTC extended battery cover.
Well, as nice as it would be to have nearly twice the power, it looks like it would make the phone monstrously thick. I may like my women curvy, but I like my phone thin.
I'd also be a bit concerned that the recess for the camera lens and flash will interfere with picture quality, causing "barrel" shadow as well as limiting flash light splash.
Agreed...looks pretty chunky to me...jc
I think I may be picking this one up... I like hong kong stuff
has anyone picked this up yet? any reviews?
It has gotten some positive reviews over at androidforums. It probably won't last more than a few months until it stops holding its charge, but for $14 its worth a shot. Another seller is selling two batteries, the cover, and an external charger for $22, so even if both batteries fail, I figure I at least won't have to do anymore bump charging.
I bought a battery from China one time for my blackberry and it worked well for like a week but it didn't carry a charge to well then I leave it one nite fully charged and I wake up its dead.... and it happens every single time...
I BOUGHT IT AGAIN AND SAME PROBLEM...

I just got mine yesterday, a 2700mah for $15.
So far I've left it running for 10 hours with light usage, and it is still at 80%. Very impressive. Seems to be lasting longer than my 2150 official HTC battery as well. Absolutely worth $15 with the back case.
I'm undervolted and overclocked on a rooted dinc, with a sleep profile in setcpu.
bhazard, mind linking us to the one you bought? some people are saying the batteries work okay in the first few days, then die after a week or so. can you comment on this?

Still working good after a week. Battery lasts a little longer than the official 2150. It is most likely 2300mah but still a great deal so far for the price.

any problems with using the LED flash on the camera since the new battery backing is so large?
I just got mine in the mail today. Got the 2600mah version. Gotta say this thing is just enormous. I checked on the flash and it didn't seem to be interfered with by the camera recession. But seriously... very thick.

Just a thought...
So instead of getting a 2600 that makes your phone overly huge, why not get the 2-1800MAH batteries with the separate charger they have on ebay? The batteries are for the EVO 4G, but at least you know they will last over a month and for two 1800 MAH batteries and the charger, it is only $24.95
Also, the 2600MAH one on some auctions on ebay are 11.95 with free shipping...so better than $16.00, I guess it's worth a shot if you want a huge a$$ phone!

It really isn't all that big, especially with the HTC back on it. It only slightly protrudes out of the silicone case that I cut to put it in, and after several weeks has held its charge better than the 2150 battery I have (same physical size). It lasts about 30 min to an hour longer. Very impressive for a $15 battery.
Is the battery the same size as the 2150 htc one bhaz? Just curious cause the phone does look huge with my 2600 hk battery and back. Considering the htc 2150 if its more stylish.

I got the battery on Saturday, I bought the 2600 MaH battery for 11.00 w/ free shipping. When the battery arrived, it actually said 300MaH. The first 4 days, the battery was amazing. I would unplug my phone at 8A and when I went to charge it overnightI would still have 30% left. My stock battery would need to be plugged in by 5P or it would die on me. The new battery I thought was great but after the 4th day, I noticed that the battery started draining quicker and quicker. It's 2:30P and my battery is at 40% already and it's just been sitting on my desk at work. I guess I got what I paid for. I contacted the seller and I'm waiting for a response from him. I might buy the HTC 2150 battery as that worked really well. I figured I could still use the Back cover that came with the ebay battery but use the better battery.
Just got my supposed 2700, yes, 2700, from a seller in usa for 25 bucks. We'll see how it lasts.

A few weeks ago, I bought a 2600 that had the fat door on it with speaker holes. On average for the first four days, the battery lasted a few hours longer than the 1750 Seidio and about 2X the 1300 stock.
About the fifth day in, the battery started declining in life and now lasts in between the stock and Seidio (more than stock, less than Seidio). Weird thing is the trend down has stopped and it remains a little weaker than the Seidio.
I expected the life to trend down "soon", but not days- I expected a few months of good use. Not even $13 worth use, now that I went back to the longer lasting 1750 Seidio. Fat door Inc would be fine, IF the battery lasts longer. Not in this case.
I've really wanted to get a bigger battery, not necessarily a bigger phone. I was looking up videos on youtube, and I found a guy who actually bought one of those verizon silicon cases and used that instead of having a new backing for his phone because the battery was so much bigger. Do you guys really find not having to charge your phone for 20-30 hours worth the extra cover and stuff? I'm sure it's not an option for everyone, but why bother with that if you can just charge it sometime in between? Car chargers are cheap, and there should be some time of sleep between 20-30 hours of you using your phone (you know, where you could be charging it). Also, what is the biggest battery you can get without requiring an extra case?
The 2150 mah battery is perfect for me. The new back protects the camera lense and the leds. I have also noticed that I can hold the phone by the extended back and it feels more comfortable then before.It doesn't add that much weight and the phone is still pretty slim. Obviously I also get improved battery life as well.
I have been using the 1750 battery and it improved my battery life from 6-8 hours to 9-12ish, which is perfect for me. I just needed to make it through the work day and the regular size works for me.
I couldn't go to a bigger battery, since I have a case that works for me and I don't want to change.

My 2 cents... I have the 2150. I still go through it once or sometimes twice a day. I dont like the way it feels in my front pocket and the fact there isn't much at all if any accessories that will fit it. I just ordered (4) 1500mah batteries and 2 charges off of eBay for a whopping $20. shipped. I can use the 2150 when I am out and not near a charger or just sell it and carry extra 1500's if needed.

At that price, it sounds like you bought some off-brand garbage. While I hope that's not the case, could you please confirm/deny? What brand are these batteries?
I need the extra battery...was out today using the stock one and was dead after 5 hours (3 hours I was using My Tracks on my run). I don't care about accessories, I just need it to not run out of charge.
I find the extra ummph in the 2150 battery to be worth the lil bulge in the back....modded a silicon case with a cutout to let the excess...works pretty well and couldnt be happier...the only downfall i found so far is the charge time is nearly 4 hrs from a completely dead battery...never really timed it but it takes a while, but worth it.

I'm not sure which one he's using, but I'm using the Seido 1750. My battery life is...decent, I guess. If I bump charge. After reading so many threads on battery life for Android phones and, specifically, HTC Android phones, I'm left wondering a few things:
1. Since HTC seems to have issues charging batteries fully...if we're wiping Battery Stats appropriately (assuming you are rooted), does the phone actually "register" that it's got such a large battery to charge? Or is the phone so stupid that it stops charging it at a 1500's capacity?
2. When apps sync their data, is Android OS smart enough to have them sync at the same time? Or, does my 30 minute Facebook sync occur 10 minutes after my 30 minute Twitter sync, etc.?
New to the forums guys, it was a round-about way I got my Incredible, extended battery, and seidio battery but here is my opinion on this. If you're not gonna use it heavily throughout the day then you can get away with the 1500/1750 batteries. But if you think you're gonna get some solid use out of the phone for a day, you don't want to have to charge it throughout the day, or you don't want to have to rush home and charge it before you go out then you should get an extended battery. Using both over the past week to see which one I want to stick with, the extended is just more convienient since I don't have to think about how much battery i'm at and remember to put it on a charger.
There is a guy on here who modified his case to accommodate the 2150 battery and after seeing that I think that's what i'm gonna do. If you can get the extended cheap then definitely go for it, its just more freedom in my opinion.
Why do you want to go to an Incredible? I thought the X was a better device. Just too big? I have yet to see an Evo or X so I have know idea how big these things are.

did you get lost? your in the Incredible section of the forum, so there will bee a predominant amount of Dinc users here.
And I'd rather have an Incredible over that piece of Moto anyday
I recently bought a 2700mAh extended battery. I don't mind the extra thickness, it allows me to get a better grip on it. As for battery life its great. With the stock battery I could barely make it through 8hours at work. With the new battery I have made it 10hours and counting. I have had GPS, Sync, WiFi, and max screen brightness on all day and only at 73%. Made a few phone calls, and a few Twitter updates. Was worth it.

No I didn't get lost. I was just curious what he did not like about the X. I would rather have an X but HTC phones are much easier to hack. A Dinc hacked on to Sprint Sero is hard to say no too. I would have done an Evo but used prices on an EVO are still ridiculous and I'm waiting for HTC sort out it's display issues.
Back to the topic at hand. I'm liking my Seidio 1750. With some tweaks I'm getting better battery life then my 3GS got. I make it through a whole day of moderate usage (some web, some streaming and 5-10 calls) and still have 20% at bed time. So I'm quite happy. Someone did point out a thread on Android Central. I won't return the battery but it did dampen my spirits a little.

I have had the 3500, for a week. Lasts 2x the 1750 (have one) and the door design is more rugged and protects the lens well.
Worthy purchase.
I had the HTC 2150mah and returned it. I just couldn't live with the bulk.
I bought both 1750 and 2150 from HTC Pedia. They are both HTC BRAND batteries. They both work well and add work time to my INCREDIBLE. Don't buy anything but brand and you will be happy! I found HTC PEDIA to be the best place to buy accessories for my phone!

I love and swear by my 1750. You will get a lot of people in here saying it is crap, but I assure you it is not. If you want a battery to last the full day and not increase the size of your phone the 1750 is for you. I have had no issues with it getting to hot. Just a word for the wise....
When you get it follow the instructions. Let it charge for several hours after full charge. Im talking twelve hours or so if you can spare. You wont regret it.
I have the 1750 and it works great, does as advertised. Gets me through a day at 1.152 GHz of mid-heavy use, I'm not complaining

Thanks for the input. What do people say about it? Just that it's not worth the "premium" price a la the first post here?
EDIT: Also, I'd consider the larger extended batteries, but I use my phone as a GPS frequently and thus can't deal with an extended back.
It's nice to have but I've become so used to plugging up that I have a way/somewhere to charge almost everywhere I go anymore. It does allow me the luxury of being able to not plug up for longer.
I've started swapping out my 1750 for my stocker and letting them charge on my docking stations for a day or so...seems to help a little.

When I was looking for a replacement battery and searching the forums many different people claimed it didn't work as advertised. That it did not last any longer than the stock battery. In my experience this is not the case at all. Also the price is a little heavy but worth it to me at the time. I would check ebay for it now though.

There's some spec sheets floating around that shows HTC batteries perform at their rated mah while seidios 1750 and 3500 fall short.
And here's that sheet:

I bought a 1750 for my Eris and use it with my Dinc without any problems.
I have one, and use it regularly. Its capacity is not staggering, but noticable over stock.
I have one and would recommend it. I compared it to my stock battery a while back, and found that it charges at about the same rate (in percentage, so it charges faster technically), gives 1 extra hour under full load, and 2-3 extra hours under mixed load.

Bought both the 1750mah and the eBay OEM 1500mah from bidallies and love it. 15$ and lasts twice as long as that sedieo crap. Sold that thing after two months of use. Have since bought an extra 1500 as spare and bought several more for friends and family with the Inc.

Ive noticed mine lasts maybe an hour or 2 longer then the stock battery, not worth the price tag in my opinion.
rubbish, its good for the first month. after that it dies faster than the stock. get a hero battery and call it a day
I purchased an 1800mah battery from htcexpressdotcom for $20 and it works great. Same size as the stock 1300 too.
Are there any batteries for the DINC that are the size of the original but have a higher capacity (if thats the proper wording for it)?
most people use the oem htc 1500 batteries... they are only 200 mah bigger but it add a decent ammount of life to your phone... I have both the seido 1750 and the 1500 and the 1500 last just as long as the 1750... they are only like 10 dollars also so might as well get 2 on amazon... I have bought this battery for lots of people I know and it works great

i have the sedio 1750mAh, and i'm rather pissed to say i've seen a lot of reports proving the 1750 battery isn't any better than the 1500mAh batt...
I've got a 1750 Seido on the way from Amazon. They say you have to charge and discharge it a few times before you see the extra hour compared with the stock battery. We'll see!

I have seen those reports too, don't believe everything you read.
I had a Touch Pro 2 before this and the standard battery was a 1500mAh. I had the Seido 1750 for it and it was a lot better than the original battery.
When I got my Dinc I was using the stock TP2 battery for a while and then I bought the Seido 1750 for it as well. I have no regrets, in my opinion it is a lot better than the 1500mAh battery.
The way my phone is set up and the way I use it, with the original battery I could rarely make it through a full day without having to charge it.
With the 1500 by the end of the day I was about done (anywhere from 15% to 25% remaining.
With the Seido at the end of the day I have between 30% and 40% remaining.

Well i got this one pretty quick I must say. Seems to be holding up better than the stock one. No need for extended yet.

Buying that battery now. Hopefully it adds a little boost in battery life
I bought the battery mentioned in this thread and have been getting great battery life. Right now I am at 21 hours with about 17% left. Prior to this I was unrooted and having to recharge every 8 hours on the stock battery. Definitely recommend it but the best improvement to my battery life occurred after I rooted.

It's a bit of a tight fit, right? I just received mine and it seems a bit tight.
It's a little tighter, but not too bad. I am loving this battery so far. I'm definitely getting good life out of it.
I listen to music on my 1 hour commute and when I'm at work, my battery is more than 65%. Before it was in the 30s.

Flip it over and squeeze along the edges, working from the camera end to the bottom, making a firm connection as you work down the edges. After a few times things settle in and closing the back is no challenge at all.
Yeah that's how I have been doing. Been off the charger since 6 AM and there is still a good amount of battery left

Yeah I bought the battery linked in this thread and its been worlds better than the stock. I'm at 27 hours since my last charge, with wifi and Bluetooth always on a few calls and about an hours worth of robodefense, I still have 18% left. Skyraider could have something to do with it but the battery is well worth the investment and the snug battery cover fit was fine.

Battery has been treating me well I must say. I tethered a bit and it didnt drain that much at all. Not sure on % 's but it wasnt like the original.
So looks like I may pick up one of these, thanks guys.

I bought this battery a couple weeks ago and it pretty much crushes the stock battery. It costs more than the one on amazon but its great. Quick shipping too.
I was going through amazon and was checking out this battery, does anyone own it? I'm kinda hesitated with no reviews or feedback but it looks amazing

I'm Testing Them Now
I got two 1800 mAh batteries and a wall charger from Amazon. I have deep cycled one of the batteries so far, but I need to run some more cycles. Also, I need to put the original battery back in and time it to see how much more, if any, I am getting from the replacement batteries. I will try to report back in a few days with better data.
As for the charger, it can charge the battery directly, outside of the phone. And it has a USB port for charging the battery in the phone. So if you swap out a dead battery, it can be charging while you are using the spare battery in the phone. The charger is small and can easily be carried in a bag or briefcase.
Awesome. For 17 bucks I'll try it out.
I got the SaFPWR Fusion 2 case with the 1800 MhA battery. It works great, I run off of the case's battery all day, and sometimes it runs out and switches to my phone's battery around 10 at nite. Lasts me all day, even using Pandora, internet, e-mail, textes, etc.
Pretty pricey, but it's a case and extra battery, so I just looked at it like if I got and paid for both.
Plus, it has a year warranty, so I can just go in and get a new one before the year is up.
Case makes the phone a bit heavey, but I don't mind, feels like it gives it a more solid feel.
I've ordered the two 1800 mah batteries plus this so i should be set for the life of the phone which is till the edge comes out, this stock battery is pathetic, the amaze has a 1820 mah and its not even lte

I would go with one of these 1700mAh or 3400mAh from Mugen.
1800 mAh batteries not any better, for me anyway

After running one of the 1800 mAh batteries through 4 full discharge/cycles, I got 20-40 hours per cycle. (Note, my usage pattern is probably less than most folks.) However, after running the 1650 mAh battery that came with the phone through 5 full sycles, I got about 48 hours each time, except for one where I got 24 hours with much heavier (for me) use.
So, I think I can say that the 1800 mAh batteries don't really provide significantly more power. They are the same size as the 1650 mAh battery.
The main benefit is simply having a spare battery in an emergency. Also, the charger can charge the battery while out of the phone.
PS: At night, I will put the phone in Airplane mode. It uses little power while I am sleeping, extending the battery time.

Requires too many permissions. What's with "access to power" all about anyway. Besides that I looked closer and see that it does not include either a screw driver or adhesive. Are they insane?
Product Description
This item does not include screwdriver or adhesive. If you want the screwdriver, you need to buy this item:url-link
Joking aside I sweated buying a cheap 3400 battery for my EVO and it was the smartest thing I've done. Worked(s) great. I will give my new Vivid a month to break in but likely buy this one and risk the $16
I don't get why you would need a screw driver I put the battery in today and the cover slid on just like the regular cover does

Thanks, I'm anxious to see how thick it makes the phone. Obviously increasing battery life though by the look of your screenshot.

I found a flaw!!! The clips where it goes into the back are very thin so you have to be careful when removing , otherwise great battery

I signed up because of this thread. Its great to find others that have tried this. I have posted some of this on other sites..
I bought the 3600mAh from ebay for about 13 bucks. Popped it in and it was at 75%. I used Battery dr. app to see what usage time are compared to stock. Even at 75% it should have been more then what the stock batt had.... but it didnt.
Anyway, I thought it was a cheap chinese battery and just left it in the phone and charged it over night. I thought it was a wash and didnt thinking about it till later that day.. After it was charged the wife used it a little and hours passed. When I picked up the phone it was still showing 100% so I re-charged it just in case and ran it through a test.
Turned wifi on
Bluetooh on
sound at max
ran a long netflix move 2H:30min+
then did it again
and again.. haha
Anyway I didnt finish the 3rd time around, but it looks like I can get with all that **** on about 7 1/2 hours of netflex. Hell without wifi and bluetooth that might be over 8-9 hours..
I have not tested the stock one, but I dont think it will last that long. Which leaves me to think for some reason the Battery dr. app or something is not really forecasting the right amount of talk/video time. Also I ran Nav for over an hour the phone was warm and Battery Dr. showed the same temp all the time. maybe there is another app to try.. or maybe there is something in the battery that gives the phone info..
Well I'm still averaging around 27 hours so for $15 I think this is the best battery I've owned

I just dont know why any of the aops doesnt show the difference..
I just tried "one touch battery saver" and that shows the same talk time, surfing time as the stock battery..
You might need to reset stats from fully charged ?
