A buddy of mine gave me an OEM HTC 1500 battery. The battery originally went to the HTC Sprint Evo Shift. As you know the Incredible S takes a 14500 battery. I put the 1500 battery in my Incredible S. It fits perfectly and the phone boots up and works. Only problem is I get a grey battery icon with an exclamation point in the middle instead of the regular green battery icon. When I go to charge the battery the indicator light blinks orange and green. What is going on with the 1500 battery?
Check amp and voltage, most likely tje battery isnt right for the incs and may cause damage

Does anyone know of any extended or aftermarket batteries that could work with the Droid 4 by replacing the internal battery?
I understand it is an internal battery, but that does not mean it cannot be removed :good:
You can take it out, but it's not supposed to be removed, so as far as i know no one makes one for the droid 4. Some ppl tried putting in a razr maxx battery, but they then found out that the battery doesn't fit into the same slot. What you can do is get an external battery or maybe you can see if they make cases with battery's in them like they do for the iphone and other devices. Hope i helped.
I have been looking for a case that has an extra battery in it and i cant seem to find one anywhere. If anyone finds one please let me know. I use my phone everything so it would be nice to not have to take my charger with me all the time.

Sadly, I haven't heard of any anywhere. One of these days I want to tear one apart and see if I can't hack in a battery adapter or something...

I guess here is one. Seems to work for the D4 too.

There is a replacement, though, of course. :silly:
this phone would be awesome if it had a extended battery and unlockable bootloader.
Do we have something new about extended battery?

have you check it out from Mugen? I think Mugen may have it, but it should expensive(over $90)
Do Droid 4s share the same battery with a Razr? If so, the Razrs can upgrade to the Razr Maxx battery with some tinkering. I foresee problems finding a bulged backplate for a Droid 4, though.

did you read the 2nd post in this thread?
the mugen site doesn't list the d4. closest thing is the d3 and photon (not the photon q, which looks a lot like a d4), both of which have regular removable batteries, so it doesn't look good for us. esp now that it looks like the droid5 just got leaked... and it doesn't seem to have an easily replaceable battery either.

I just puchased the mugen extended battery. It does add a little more bulk and unable to get a case that will fit the larger door. Other than the power meter not able to show true battery life. It is a software limitation. I do like the longevity of the battery though. My original battery would die while I was asleep after about 5 to 6 hours offBT the charger just sitting idle with no wi-fi or BT on.

hey there! Figured I would chime in on some info concerning extended batts for the D4.. Even though I am not sure that this pertains to the particular model you are looking at, I have found one that works extremely well, and does not need an extended back for the phone. It has thicker cells, and I've gotten more than a day out of it. Given that is not full use of course, but still thats almost unheard of (at least for me) when it comes to the D4. Also, I have to say that I was a bit pretentious at first, because this battery is sourced from china/japan on eBay. Anyways here is your link!

Yeh they have a extended battery 2085 mAh using stock door but the Mugen is 3800mAh which seems super capacity tho the device will become a bit thicker due to expanded door.
I don't mind the expanded door just want to know experience of people who have used it - how long it takes to charge from 0 to 100% and does it almost give double battery life to Droid4 when compared to stock battery...
PLSE PLSE share your experience before I spend $100/- :laugh:
I bought 3weeks ago a new battery from eBay. It 2100mAh and the battery life is quite better than before. I was charging after 4-5 hours of use and now it around 6-7 hours of use. What kills it for me when it is 1xmode for internet.....because I have flashed over to another carrier. Im quite happy with the battery.
Here a link to the same battery i bought....http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Internal-Replacement-Li-ion-Battery-for-Motorola-Droid-4-XT894-EB41-2100mAh-/321329426209?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4ad0b9ef21

Any particular reason besides the price & expanded door you didn't think of purchasing 3800mAh Mugen ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUGEN-POWER..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item258ad52152
I am more keen to go for this as it is lmost double capacity from stock battery...
Found these on ebay what i like is that it keeps the original cover and no added thickness , anyone tried those batteries or not i read a reply in other forum from a guy used them and says it adds around 40% more for the original monester note2 battery
I know note2 battery is awesome gives me full 7.30h of working display with 3g and 20 full hours ,, but why not add more if its ok !!!

enough said.
I'd be incredibly surprised if that is truly the capacity it says considering it's the same size as the stock 3100mah battery. If it were possible to fit a bigger battery I think Samsung would have. Also, from personal experience, I have found those cheaper off-brand extended batteries can often be worse than stock.
I hope I'm wrong because who wouldn't love even more juice?

Hey I bought this exact battery and I've been using it for a week. I honestly haven't noticed any difference. Since I have so much time this holiday I've been using my phone constantly and at the end of the day im down to 10%
I bought that exact "4250 mAh" gold battery from eBay but from a US seller. DO NOT BUY IT. It is not 4250 mAh. I have tested it on my Note 2 and it only has the same power as a regular 3100 mAh battery. It is blatant false advertising.
People don't realize that in China the word "mah" actually means, "Look at the stupid Americans!"
No. This battery will NOT be as advertised.

The only way to extend battery life is to a get a battery physically larger than stock but that's just way too big with a phone like the note 2 imho and iv used extended batteries in my G1 and G2x.
So I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
Went through the initial setup, says the battery capacity from files is 3023. Stock is 3220 right...
Just wondering what everyone else's says?

Going from my RC modeler experience the only way you're going to know EXACTLY how many mah your battery truly has left is to drain it to zero then charge it to 100 then drain it to 0. The more charges the battery takes the less its able to retain.
