[Q] Extended battery 3000mah - HD2 Accessories

is this for real? here is the link :
http://www.lelong.com.my/htc-touch-...o-battery-3000mah-75157308-2010-12-Sale-P.htm
ive asked the selller too and they are confirmed that the extended battery is for htc hd2 t8585. So my questions are:
1. Is this a real product or just a scam? because when i googled, there is no such thing as 3000mah extended battery for htc hd2. i even searched the forum too.. no such topic found >.<
2. Since there is no type of brand mentioned, is it safe? i don't want a leaking battery or an explosive on my pocket. So is the battery safe? how do i check before i buy it? any method of checking it?
3. is there any effect on my os? like compatibility issue or anything? eg : im using dezire z build.
4. any opinion or suggession on extended battery? im from malaysia btw.

1/ That is a REAL physical product, but it may work, it may not, or it may destroy your phone, lol. No one can ensure about its quality.
2/ Look at 1/
3/You must try it yourself, because there are around 10000 factories around the world can manufacture that kind of product, and I assume less than 0.1% of them are certificated by HTC! Someone would use the same looking battery at yours, but how can you ensure yours and his were from the same factory?
4/ I've seen on Ebay some sellers advertise that they selling the genuine extended battery (BP E400 2300MAH). Hope those aren't fake products but who knows?
My experience: I'm using a Duracel External Power 1000mAh (similar to Enegizer Xpal Power 1000) for emergency recharge. It doesn't look cool but at least it's cheaper and safer for my hd2.

The guy couldn't even attach the right photo to the auction. It is not an HD2.
I would rather buy these. Tried them both, the official gives more juice, but the other one doesn't make the phone that thick and is a lot cheaper.

Wow! how much is that? Does it work for android and WinMo?

Without even making this thread, don't you think it's a little weird that the image shown is clearly not an HD2 ?

They both work on winmo and Android. Some roms might have problems dealing with extended battery support.
Official around 25GBP on ebay, used to be more than 40GBP
The one from China 7-11GBP on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-HTC-B...850?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb00db4aa
Official is 2300Mah, the cheaper one has 2400Mah written on it, but I doubt that, coz it is slimmer and the official lasts longer for me.
I started seeing the cheaper one with 2600Mah on it on ebay, that must be fake if the size is the same. But if you put this fact aside it is a decent battery with a nice rubbery feel cover which fits perfectly. Kicstand broke glued it in normal position.

Haven't tried wp7 yet. For me android development just got to the stage I was dreaming about. No issues/bugs for me with MDJ HD4.6+hastarin. I am gonna wait a lot before trying wp7. Again the official one works just fine, 2 days, accurate %drain details and it costs 25GBP.
If it is not compatible with your fav android rom, you can sell it and use 2 stock size original batteries which isn't that convenient but still better than a built in non removable battery what lots have in a phone I don't even want to talk about :-D

I dont recommend the china cheapo's. They have magical mah. Why? Because they dont really last that longer. I bought one from ebay, and the kickstand brke like 5 minutes after i took it out from the packaging. And, it looks fugly. After that, i bought the official one from ebay, and it works great. Only problem is, android needs eb drivers for it to work, but in wp7 it works (crazily, but it does xD).

I stand on the OEM side as well.
There is an another option to consider if you have money.
The mugen 2600Mah battery for hd2 which is a quality product for 69.99 dollars.

That's 16% of the Device's cost !
Does it make my phone fly ? .. I mean I'm not buying a power mat, it's just a battery ! It shouldn't be that expensive

So does anyone have those battery I thought of buying one, but I'm not sure is wort of spending so much money on them, but Htc really made mistake with battery of 123omAh for HD2

I have bought the 2600mAh mugen battery together with the extended battery case. so far this battery is giving me around 3 days of continous use with me running android off the sd card. on wino 6.5 i was getting around 4 days.
the build quality on the case is questionable though as the clips on it have already cracked after 3 days of use. mugen have been good replying and they will send me another at no extra cost.!!

As for me the extended battery i bought was very cheap and it works very well. The only drawback is that winsmob doesn't show the actual amount of battery i have left. This doesn't seem to be the problem while using android on sd card. One needs to pull the battery in order to make the phone know the battery still has a lot to give.
I was able to go 2 day and like 4 hours.
I played game for more than 2 hours, listened to music for more than 4 hours and surfed a little bit. As far as i can tell, this result is acceptable. I bought the battery for 7.49 euros in total.

Hey jzack,
when it comes to batteries I recoment always to be careful. There are a lot of products out there not working properly. BUT: most replacement batteries (for all kind of electronics) work just fine, for a while. They really do. What's wrong with them is not that they are not working... it's the specs!
First: Nearly none of them have the capacity with which they are labeled. Take at least a third off, that's the real value for capacity with most noname products.
Second: They do not last very long in most of the cases. Since Batteries are build nearly all the same, the quality of the materials & chemicals and the quality of maufacturing makes the difference! Now try to imagine how good noname products are at these points!
Third: In many cases the Phone is not correctly reading the charge, so it is sometimes worth the money bying original stuff. Not having the correct leftover of energy on my screen is a no go for me.
In a nutshell: you can by "cheapos" anytime, with a little bit of risk of course. They will do good for a while.. or not. If they last half a year fo 5$, it's ok. They also could be down to half the capacity after 3-4 month... then buy new ones, since they are so cheap! (which is not the most ecological way I think)
I personally would rather buy 1 or 2 of the standard HTC batteries (or brandname standards) and swap 'em. One always in the bag, one in the car...or in the office... whatever. They are strong, keep the capacity up for a long time and do not cost too much.
Swapping is easy, many HD2 cradles with spare battery charge function are out there on ebay and the Phone itself stays sleek (the bigger battery cover makes it so ugly!) and it still fits in the sleeve/case or pocket. All stays like it is, you just add 1 or 2 spares. And a quick boot for a battery swap isn't really an issue now, is it?
I like that solution much more. But that's probably just me...
hope this helps a bit,
regards,
Myrixamophit

extended battery for £14.98 + post

Hi guys i have seen a few different posts about the extended battery with the lager cover and came across this site i dont know if it has already been posted already because i cant find it so if double post to this site sorry if not may be of interest
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/products.asp?partno=BATHTCHD2EX&model=
i have never ordered from this site but for a battery with nearly 2x the power storage for £14.98 + post seems a pretty good deal to me will be Pre Ordering and will post a mini review of the battery once I have had it going for a day or 2
Nice find. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in this. Any idea what the battery cover is made of? I'm spoilt by the metal cover already.
The official HTC extended battery is downright ugly. Though if you don't care about the aesthetic look of your phone, having 2200mAh does sound good.

am not too sure if its metal like the original or something different but as soon as i know ill update in the post
why cant they bring out extended battery that is normal size??? lol
i'd like to see a "mega" battery with a stepped design that goes all the way to the bottom, and has 6000mah. for trips, camping, etc. add a solar panel to it even better.
I'll be waiting closely for the review on this battery. Keep us all posted!
the official htc battery 2200 mah at price of 49 usd, this one is only 14 pounds, it is maybe unusable, isnt it?
yea - 2200mAH would be an option - my HD2 drains the battery too fast - less then 1 day the battery keeps my HD2 on life,...

This is really nice. I would definitely go for this official battery once its out there. No matter what size my HD2 will have afterwards the cover is definetely an eye catcher on the top.
Or Spend an extra fiver and get a cradle with it, able to charge both phone and spare battery. Not Bad value for £19.99
I can't post links (new member) but it's on the same website. Here is a screencap of the web link.
I'm ordering this at the end of the month so will post about it soon.
EDIT:- Could a MOD please take the weblink restriction off me please. Thanks

But the whole point is that if you are out and about you don't have access to a cradle! And if you are using your HD2 in the car for satnav, it still drains slightly as most chargers do not supply enough power to run the program and recharge the machine. Hence the bigger battery is very useful. Also, I do not want to be regularly taking the back off to replace the battery so a spare is not for me. The phone is just not designed for it, unlike my cameras which make it easy to swap batteries.
I do think that the fold out stand on the HTC big battery is a piece of ridiculous style over function. How long before that breaks, and who is likely to use it - the phone is a handheld, after all. I have never thought - "oh i wish i could prop this up on something on my desk".

I think you could argue that it is function rather than style. AT worst, function AND style. Definitely not style over function.
I for one think this feature would be great when travelling on a train/plane and you want to watch a tv program or movie on the handset.

HD2 Standard Size 1500Mah battery

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)

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?

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.

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?

Fake vs. Real Battery: Can you spot the real one?

I'm writing this so that you don't get SCAMed as I've already seen in several topics on the Accessories forum.
I know many of you would rather by OEM (myself included), yet many of you are paying full price for an imitation.
Now, there is nothing wrong with the imitation batteries on ebay, they work just as good as the real ones.
However It's just sad to see people paying like 50 times more for something that can be bought cheaply
there are honest ebay sellers that do tell you it is not the real battery, there are the type of sellers you should buy from.
not the ones adverting FAKE ones as "Real" ones.
Here they are side by side, can you tell the difference?

It should be rather clear, ironically the FAKE one has a better build than the OEM ones.
Now look again at the pictures advertised on ebay or whatever place you should happen to buy them at
They are all the same as the fake one.
pictures taken by SGS i9000m
The 1st on the first picture and the 2nd on the second picture are the original batteries
A bit redundant if you don't tell us which and what differences to look for.
is too early to tell, i'll let more people try on their own before giving out the answer, but there are plenty of hints already
My battery is original, and looks like neither of these, yet is G7. It doesn't have a QR code for starters, but that's maybe because its a EB575152VU.
Everyone is happy with imitation batteries.. Until they overheat, melt, or have other problems. So, you need to decide if you want to take the risk. If you buy off ebay, just go 3rd party. If you want originals, go to an authorised service center or dealer.
You also say ALL fakes on eBay are that specific fake one? How can you prove this? Having sold apple equipment in the past, we found there were many different looking kinds of fakes. Many generally were similar (and that might hold for now), but it generally isn't true long-term..
Just remember, if you buy a fake, the person who made them know you are a sucker (and they aren't interested in making you happy, only making money). This means they just need it to seem plausible enough to be real (they can ship it with 1400mah, and barely anyone would notice). It can use the dodgiest cells on the planet, and as long as they take a while to die, it's ok too.
Either buy genuine from a trusted dealer, or go third party. It isn't always easy to identify counterfeits.

No. Left battery looks most like mine does, applies to both pictures. Seems like that doesn't necessarily mean it's a real battery though.
At closer inspection, my battery says EB575152VU and not EB575152vu as the left battery does and mine is MADE IN CHINA / FINISHED IN KOREA, they are otherwise identical.
I'm assuming Samsung didn't supply me with a fake battery for my phone.

Yepp, you have a battery that looks exactly like mine does (barring the serial#/mfgdate obviously).
Assuming all batteries Samsung supplies with the phones are exactly the same, they're BOTH fake.
I would assume the difference on model# is because that particular battery is made and finished in China while our batteries are made in china and finished in Korea. There's really nothing that says the left one is fake.
@ OP. OK now I am really confused (not difficult) Are both the one in my pic and the one I bought from eBay fake? They look identical apart from that little bit of print above the "G7"
First picture, right battery says "made in japan/made in japon/made in corea" Something is fishy there. Besides, it doesn't look like mine does.
As for the second picture, the left battery looks pretty much identical to mine. I'm assuming the batteries are not swapped simply because of that.

what mickeko said
and celeronix said
A straight answer would be helpful please or I will assume your just flaming. The two you refer to seem to say both fake and real. So I respectfully ask again are both my and the eBay pictures of fake batteries?
The batteries supplied with your phone are real.
But, honestly, this discussion is a waste of time anyway, because fakes aren't always obvious.. The assumption that they always look the same is wrong

[Q] Any one tried 3000 mah battery yet?

Any one can tell how long it will last?

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. ^^

you really should carry one extra battery with you. no 3000mah, too thick and make HD7 totally a brick, better works forr self defense....

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...

[Q] Fake battery?

Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.
German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?
i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.
Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

well it's going to matter, if the battery ends up exploding while your phone is in your pocket.

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

Yes my original has 3 patches.
Well.. That's really hard to tell fakes today..
What year is your battery?
Thank you

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..
Thanks again

you raise a good point, $8 or $800 pocket explosions are bad.
I had not even considered that happening :silly:

Mine is from 06/2010:
By the way check out what happened to this unlucky brod, that tried to save a couple of bucks on her battery:

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.
Thanks

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..
