So, i was wondering.
Since the battery life of the HD2 is sort of disappointing i wanted to look for an extended battery.
Now, i came across an ebay item and i'd like your opinion;
Here is the subject in question: E-Bay HD2 1500mAh Battery
Do you guys think it is
a) Truly 1500Mah
b) Truly standard size
still in doubt as of to purchase that battery, thats why i want to ask the opinion of the community.
Cheers
This battery looks interesting but not sure whether the size is the same as stock battery so that the metal cover can close nicely?
i just bought it! for seven dollars (~£4.50 GBP) i think its worth a shot! will report back when/if i get it!

me too. I thought I'll buy a guy in Hong Kong a cup of coffee and lets see what for good things will come from it.
To the OP: thanks for the tip!
BTW Mugen also makes extended batteries - though not for the HD2 yet - that have a greater capacity and a standard fit, so ... it is possible (if not, a spare battery for 5 euro is always usefull)
I cant belive that this chinese crap can have more then 1000 guys

Please do!
Noone seem to notice the mfg date on that battery is 3months before the HD2 was even available worldwide?
Then again, it's only $7 bucks...
I dont believe this battery his really 1500mah... I have bought some other batteries on ebay to digital cameras who 'supposely' had bigger capicity, but in reality their time was much shorter than the one that came to the camera. I believe this should be the case...
Please feedback if the 1500mAh battery is long lasting?

yeah i did notice that the battery was made before the HD2 came out! ha ha!
and that its made by a well know company! lol!
i just noticed that the battery terminal polarity indicators are in the wrong position! lol!
we find out when it arrives!
Use the Battery tool for it. Search for HTC Debug Tool, it's in it.

I second that.
i ordered this

what do you think?
well..only thing i can think of is...
The battery sais "Touch HD 2" out unit is called the "HD2" without the touch....but...as allways...we'll wait n see!
ehehhe, i'll let you know
Don't believe it
I checked c Manufacture Factory for this battery, It made in china , I found wrong record for it in chinese wesite. So don't believe it.
Please report on how it works and how it fits.
On all previous HTC phones I could stick a microSD and simcard side by side on top of battery and cover would still fit perfectly. I can not do that with Leo so am interested to see how it fits.
It looks that the Phieips battery isn't gonna work on the HD2 I recieved this email today:
Hello,
I had make mistake of the htc HD2 battery, the factory marked this battery
for htc HD2, I find this is wrong size battery for HD2 today, I will ship another one HD2 battery to you again, if you received the wrong battery, don't need return to me and waiting for another one HD2 battery arrive.

Oh well, **** happens
EDIT: looks like **** happened only on 3 and 4 january. I just recieved another mail from the guy from Hongkong, which I bought a cup of coffee:
Hello,
Sorry again, just find battery has problem sold on 3-4 Jan, other battery
are correct model, if you receive battery is wrong size, take a picture of the battery and send
to me, I will ship another one to you again, sorry again.

(bit ambiguous, but it looks as if my order is OK because i placed it jan. 6th. Or? )
He does take care of his business, that must be said.
I have always been of the opinion that cheap batteries from anywhere risk giving you a lot of pain, either physical pain from the device melting/blowing up/dieing in your hand or emotional pain from the device melting/blowing up/dieing in your hand (but you not being hurt)
Poorly manufactured batteries have a tendency of doing the above and is it really worth the risk for an extra 250mAh?
Edit: And to emphasise my point - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614240
this should be legit right? with all the fake battery threads and everything lately, i want to be very careful where i buy my battery from unless its from the verizon store. i think this is legit though, and a decent price cheaper than buying from verizon.

Yup, looks like the OEM one that I have. The fact that it comes with the back which says HTC is a pretty good indicator too

im gonna order it, no verizon within 500 miles of me has them in stock lol. kinda wanted it today, i hate waiting for shipping!
just ordered it for 42 shipped, cant wait for it to get here!

i saw those, i dont think those are legit OEM HTC batteries....
I've had mine for awhile and easily get through a day with a single charge. So legit or not they work. Stock battery I'd be lucky to make past lunch some days
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I ordered it, 100% legit. It's a great upgrade for the phone. While it does look thicker, it's feel is actually better. You can easily get a full day out of this battery with heavy use. I purchased it as a 'when I need my phone all day' kinda battery. No worries.
Only thing is the back bezel doesn't come with the metal around the headphone jack. But the case is OEM.
Ultimately do what makes you comfortable. Just thought I'd share my experience. Everyone on these forums have been so helpful to me thought I'd put my 2 cts in. I was a little skeptical too. Battery is red and says HTC (easy enough to do) but received in 2 days and couldn't be happier. 2 best things about are not having to have an ugly hump and no longer having to hear my brother (ex iPhone user) ***** about the terrible battery life. So in short 2 people very happy with these.
Good luck with whatever you choose

I actually should have went with it to try it out, but i had already ordered the 2150. i actually like thicker phones, i cant stand thin phones, on my old g1 i used to have one of those like 3500 batteries and it was huge lol.
my friend has an inc and i know he wont want to get a thicker battery, so ill have him order the one you got. thanks for the review on it btw.
This battery is so worth the money. Got it last night, charged it (bump charged it) and been unplugged since 830am, and 7hrs later and I'm at 63%. Id be dead already on the stock battery.

Ahhhhh its out of stock everywhere!! Not on Verizon or Amazon
Just got the extended battery for the Droid 2 from Verizon store today and it works well with my Droid 1. Unfortunately my case won't work with the extended battery cover so I ended up having to leave the back cover off in order to fit it into it.
I am going to be testing the battery life with this new battery and it looks to be rather awesome in terms of not having to recharge the phone during the middle of the day or end of night before I get home.
High recommend so far. Will post updates more later on.
Which case do you use if you don't mind me asking?
It was a clear plastic case from Verizon.
They work really well, been using one in my milestone for a couple of weeks. Lasts the whole day now.

Extended Battery Door?
Forgive me, but it's unclear to me which extended battery door works... ANY links to GOOD extended batteries and covers would be awesome! Thanks!
Does anyone know if you can fit the Droid/Milestone door over the extended battery if you remove that sticky sponge pad on the back? I got a Droid 3 but want to go back to using my Milestone and I'm looking to enhance it yet keep the stock look.

How come you want to roll back to the D1/Milestone?
I almost pulled the trigger on a used D3, but will probably just buy a new D4...

The software was horrible, the build quality the Droid/Milestone has no longer exists, it had issues getting a signal most of the time, it was too big and so much more. Dislike the Droid 4 even more.
Doing a full rebuild of my Milestone but I'm stuck with a US keypad as I can't get the UK one.

Bought one from this ebay account 3500 mAH same size a little more live, battery does work except for the fact that the phone itself uses data like crazy. phone last me like 16 of continuous usage without data being turned on
Does it make the back of the case bulge at all?
Beware of batterys made in China that claim to be 3500mAh! for a small price.
You might find they are re-labelled ordinary batterys that can cause faults.
You need a close-up exam on those Chinese-made batts to make sure of Everything. I live in this hell.

I'd listen to this guy if I were you, fake faulty batteries are very common.
Im still using the Mugen battery. I use my phone the entire day. Wifi, location, faster gps, xbox live.. everything turned on.. i talk more than 4hrs a day, keep texting, youtube etc. never have to recharge the phone. Amazing battery. i had a problem with it once. sent it to mugen and they sent me back a new one. ^^
Dumb me opened a post in general

I've had one of these for 2 months... Marginally longer than the stock battery, and the bulging case is a pain in the ass...

So besides its look, what does every expect from its lifetime.
I bought a second hand note about 6 months old and the new batterys from ebay were just as good if not better than the original hence im thinking a 6500ma battery would see possible 2 full days of heavy use? perhaps 4 of light use.. I hope they bring out the 12000ma extended battery

I prefer to buy another original or anker battery with a double charger for 30 bucks and put it the second in the wallet than use this extended in the phone.
I would rather get a second official battery than have this monstrosity destroy the look of my phone

I think you are all missing the point of this battery.
I was in Thailand with the arduos task of taking 3000 photos on my note. My small batterys didnt last that long and was also hard to grip. The big phone with big battery was far superior. Obviously it destroys the look but for usability it is amazing.
Can we keep comments to the use of thos battery, not the look it will give the phone.. Ovbviously its not a fashion accesory **** guys
I can see its usefulness, that's for sure. I just think the company could have worked on the execution a bit better. But no doubt, if you need a long life battery, it should do the trick.

Cheap no brand batteries are NEVER as good as the quality OEM products. I'll reserve judgement on this thing until someone's reported on its actual performance.
That is a good find.
I'll definitely buy one before taking a trip/vacation.
It'll be a very handy if not a life saver.
Be sure to let us know how it performs.

I don't understand why you these extended battery case makers make a lump,
rather than just making the entire case that thick. (maybe needing a bigger hole for the camera.
It'd look much nicer.
