Will HTC batteries of the same shape from other phones work on the Legend? Or how about the cheap ass batteries on ebay?
Anyone ever tried?

Same question!!!!
HTC BA S420 wildfire/legend battery is the same not sure about any others

I dunno about other phones but I use like a $3 battery from ebay and the only difference is it runs out very very fast when you use wifi, gps, 3g etc etc. But you can get official ones (from memory) for like $20 or so.. The only reason I use the 2nd battery is cause I also bought a battery charger from ebay. So basically when one battery runs out I stick the fresh one in, and then stick the dead battery in the charger and plug it into the wall. That way I never have to wait for my phone to be charged, never have to plug it in, and yeah its basically always alive haha
Wow, it actually freakin works. Well, thanks for that! Say, has anyone ever seen official HTC batteries anywhere?

lol sorry I should have been more specific in my previous post. I meant I've seen the official ones for around $30ish plus or minus $10 on eBay.
Have you tried charging the ebay battery through the HTC methods? USB to AC and USB to PC?

But will it be actually 1700mAh?
Who knows, there is link. But customers looks happy as you can see down on page. That battery is really cheap an also free shipping.. it looks like good deal, otherwise the Quality is 100% guaranteed. Its writen down on page
I brought a Mugen Power Battery for the HTC Legend, and then came across these two off Ebay, comes with 2 batteries, and an external 'dock' charger for the battery (NOT THE PHONE), they're 1500mah I believe so a bit more the stock Legend battery but not as much as Mugen, but I'll be using the Ebay batteries in case of emergancy if my battery runs out in the day and I need to go out at night.
Do you guys notice the overcharging chip in effect?

Is anyone familiar with this battery? http://cgi.ebay.nl/NEW-GOLD-2430mAH-BUSINESS-BATTERY-FOR-HTC-LEGEND-G6-G8-/110629900450?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneBatteries&hash=item19c20e50a2
They claim 2340mah, which seems like a lot and it's not expensive. I'm tempted to try it for that kind of money.
I'd be very cautious about that, it is nearly twice the capacity which is very hard to believe given the dimensions...Li-Ion / Li-Pol technology couldn't get that far in those two years Legend is out

I couldn't resist. I ordered it. What a great deal! Should get it in a month knowing it's probably coming by container ship.
Has anyone else purchased similar 1500mAh batteries from China and experienced better battery life?
I never buy non-OEM batteries from eBay, because the batteries can brake and destroy your phone, but they can be good quality.

I've owned several non-OEM batteries for the HTC Touch Pro for years and they are still perfectly fine and hold just as long of a charge.
Maybe there's a battery program for WP7 that can test these batteries properly like there was with WM.

I only know 1800mAh battery but this one is legit.
looking for a new battery for my Legend, any suggestions?
What is the best moneyworthy alternative out there, i lost the old one, so i just need a fairly good battery, and hopefully not less good than original, but better value for the money wouldnt be bad.
I suggest mugen
I uses this battery for about 4 weeks and it works great within this time but after round about 6 weeks the battery lifetime reduces to a minimum and at the end i only was able to use my legend for about 6 hours with about 70% of standby-time. I dont know if it was a manufactoring error or this battery is just crap? Meanwhile im using the original battery again...

Definitely the Wildfire. My friend had a Wildfire imported to Canada (stupid idea) and the battery I ordered works interchangeably between the two. Though he wasn't scared of the risks because it had printed Wildfire/Legend on the back of the battery. I'd imagine the HTC battery is at the very least similar.

Wildfire is compatible but HD2 have a different format and a different kind of connector - 100% incompatible.

The battery I buy in webstore Pixinf can work more that 2 days and the original one only work less than one day.

I recently Purchased this battery for my evo, but the battery is only compatible with the older htc phones. The battery is brand new. price is $15. that includes shipping!!!!
Are you sure it fits the Hero?
It's definitely too thick to use without a different battery cover, I think.
yes the battery fits the hero, and you are also correct in needing a different battery cover. The battery is about the same thickness as a seidio 3500 so you could probably get a cover for one of those and then have an actual htc extended battery for your phone. I have two of these batteries by the way.

someone correct me if im wrong, but i believe the evo and the hero share the same 1500mah battery. if it doesnt fit the evo, im a little skeptical it fits the hero. if you could take a pic of the battery in a hero showing the stock battery cover fits with it, ill take it

You are correct the hero and evo do share the same 1500mah battery. But the htc 2150mah doesn't register with the evo so the evo will not charge the battery. They work just fine in a Touch pro 2 and a Hero. the reason i bought these batteries cause i knew the hero 1500mah batteries work just fine in the evo. so i bought these which were listed as extended batteries for the hero and touch pro 2. The battery fits and powers my evo just fine, but since the battery doesn't register with the phone it wont charge it. If i put the batteries in an external charger they work in my evo perfectly(annoying). THESE FIT MY EVO, SO THERE FOR IT WILL FIT YOUR HERO!!!! YOU WILL NEED AN BIGGER BATTERY DOOR AS THESE ARE AT LEAST TWICE THE SIZE OF THE 1500MAH!!!!! BATTERY IS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS A SEIDIO 3500 EXTENDED BATTERY!!
Included some more pics. Left batt. is a rebranded seidio 3500mah, middle is the 2150mah htc battery, right is the stock evo battery.
sorry, didnt see in the 3rd post where you said you need a bigger battery cover, hence why i was under the impression it would fit. id like to keep my otterbox case so im gonna pass, but thanks, great price
Why not just get an external charger and have it fully charge it for your EVO? Either way, GLWS. Cheers.

unlike the heroc taking the back cover off and back on an evo truly sucks..lotsa little tabs..used my heroc to charge up some extended batteries w/ ext covers I'd bought for a few friends evos then watched the remove and replace process..ugly it was but the ext batts work wonderfully for a heavy user. glws

I still have both! so i don't think it will be a problem. Not much interest in these for some reason. But like I said $15 per battery is pretty good. lol If there not gone soon im gonna start posting these in the other part of the forums. This battery fits a boat load of older htc phones.
I would buy it as soon as someone finds a back cover that I could use with my hero. I don't know where to get a back cover like that, and I don't feel like trying to find it, I doubt I would. With that battery all my battery issues would go away lol.

Hi Sckank, thanks for the update. So, it's simpler and cheaper to buy another stock battery or an external battery pack that you can use to charge other devices.
Again, thanks. Anil.
Don't really c the point of buying a new battery..
Works decent..if it gets discharged, almost everyone has a mini usb to usb cable and while travelling, just get a belkin ac to dc converter..i think it has two sockets and a usb port..connects to the 12v cigarette lighter outlet in the car.. n doesn't hurt the car's battery as long as its connected when the engine is running or the car battery is fully charged..

I just did some searches on eBay for HTC Raider battery and found a bunch for sale. The model number of the battery is the same as the Vivid (I pulled out my battery and checked), so it should work fine. Pretty cheap too, they had some for like $15.98 for 3 batteries + wall charger.

The point is that you get the most battery while still being able to use the stock battery cover and normal cases for the device.
