Can the part MOTDRD2BATXW fit with the original Droid or should I stick to the Seidio slim battery instead?
I read that it does on a post. got to a verizon store and try it out. i have not personally tried either.
I saw a review that most of the aftermarket batteries fall short of claimed out put. buyer beware.
I am using a Droid 2 Extender battery in my Droid 1, and have been for months. I haven't noticed any issues yet, just keep in mind that you have to use the Droid 2 back cover (and it will be a tight fit).
Just have to use the extender battery door, because the extended battery (1850 mAh) is about 1.5 millimiters thicker.
what is its price?
milestone ?
HI Does anyone know if this works on milestone ?
It should right ?
Tun.ko
Any update with the Tun.ko?

So you use the extended on the droid 1. the battery fits but you have to use the droid 2 back? Will it still work in the dock and car dock? or does it stick out? also were did you buy it? thanks!
There are complete replacement sets on ebay including the needed battery door... and a bit more power: About 2300 mAH: http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-Droid-...624689435?pt=US_Batteries&hash=item2a0e12091b
a user on our german android forums (android-hilfe.de) had conducted a series of tests on these "extended" batteries and has (to sum it up) proven them to be pretty much pointless. the mAh value printed on is a lie to say the least, and the added bulk and need for a new battery cover drives the price up to a point where you´d simply be better off (cheaper and in terms of battery life) with an additional "normal" battery.
would explain why there seems to be virtually NOBODY that is using these extended hulks of a battery ^^
I think an original BP7X motorola battery can really boost the duration...

I use extended batteries constantly on my CDMA HTC Hero200 and on my Moto Droid 1. They last a great deal longer and yes they do make the phones look like a brick but it makes up for it in the time the phone can stay on longer. I'm in the military and my Hero stays on for 2-3 days without needing a recharge if I'm not constantly messing with it. If I'm actively doing things with the phone it draws more power. Also if you leave the GPS and Wi-Fi on it draws more power. Everything makes a difference. Close all apps you don't need running and shut down anything not needed for longer battery life. Overall,for 10 dollars on EBay you can't beat it,I'll make that user on the German Android Forums look like a chump when it comes to batteries.
I bought the extended battery a few weeks after getting my D3. Typically, I get more than 24 hours to a charge. That's with quite a bit of texting, phone calls and surfing. The battery comes with a new back cover for the phone.

You can find one here particularly for milestone 3300mAh [HLI-A855XL]
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-milestone-with-battery-in-black-3300mah.html
With the BP7X battery being around 1 to 1.5mm thicker can you just remove the sticky sponge pad on the back of the Droid/Milestone battery panel? I'm hoping that works as the pad itself is around 1mm thick and is there to fill a recess and push against the battery.
I just picked up this phone on release day(04-28-11) and although the stock battery is decent, i would like to get something with more juice when im somewhere with no electricity. Im not sure how different the I2 is from the IS but could i use an IS battery on an I2?
Verizon carries an extended battery and cover for $50
edit: Seidio also carries a 1750mAh slim battery: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17htshf.htm

Incredible S battery will fit. Existing thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004556
They are all too expensive. It is ridiculous.. We should be able to pay as much as we do for these phones and get decent battery life!
Yes. There have been a lot of threats, but never a really clear answer.
I have my HD2 like 1,5 year. In this time I never replaced my battery and I think my battery is now dying.
So the big question.
What is the 'best' battery for hd2?
And what is the 'best' extended battery for hd2?
Should I buy mugen, or HTC official batteries (or maybe an other brand)?
And will my battery be compatible with hd2 and custom android roms?
I don't know why there isn't big sticky threat/guide what battery you should buy. Because there are a lot of questions, and not very much concrete answers.
Thanx you.
HTC Official Extended Battery
In my opinion, the best extended battery for the HD2 is the official HTC extended battery. It's the only extended battery that's supported by the developers who make custom ROMs for the HD2. All the other extended batteries will give inaccurate readings with these custom ROMs. I've made a thread about obtaining a rugged case for the HD2 with the extended battery. In this thread, I've listed a couple of links where you can obtain the battery. Have a look.

I don't like the idea of a rugged case that is made for a other cellphone.
I think it's ok to just have a extended battery and not an extra case
Just official extended battery is the best so?
And how about the best (non-extended) battery?

I'd suggest this one. It's the one I have, and it's been great with every Android ROM I've used [Sense, MIUI V3 and V4, Cyanogen]. I get the advertised 2 1/2 days of battery life [ on Gingerbread at least, it drops a little on ICS but it is still good with my usage, which includes lots of browsing, Twitter, music, and tethering].

I can confirm that the Titan battery worked, but it smelled funny lol. It was the slim extended mugen 1950 mah battery.

Titan 4 pin, HD2 3 pin. not the best idea trying that ...
Thats why it smelled ;-) My friend is an engineer and he said he could tweak it or something. Ill let you guys know :-D

to much fat!
there isn't a version that isn't so much fat? i don't want a brick for phone!
For extended Batteries if we consider aftermarket manufacturers, i can suggest you Mugen Power brand, most positive extended battery reviews so far.
1500mAh fits the original case: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...585-1500mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
2600mAh with extra backdoor: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...ed-replacement-battery-with-battery-door.html
hope this will also help for the reference
what I'm using is:
- simply a second original one which I can put into my briefcase and have it with me nearly all the time (pro: the phone still fits into any holder, case, etc., CON: same little power...)
- the "big" one with the extension cover. I use it when walking around with a rucksack where I don't need a holder.
- and then I have an external batteryback (Mobile Power Pack VT-PP-320) which has to be connected through USB. But this has 5000mAh. I use it at home or in the hotel, or anywhere else. OR I take it with me and load the battery of th phone while making a break for example.
My experience with all of these solutions are good - depending on where I use them..
Wolf
I have always two stock batteries when I'm not at home.
Travelling around for more than 30 hours I have some external battery (LiFePo4 with 9200mAh), which is good for 5 times charging the battery.
But I would like to have just one big battery fullfilling all my needs.
SKU: HLI-NexusSXL
Cell Type: Li-ION
Voltage: 3.7v
Capacity (mAh): 3900
Battery Door: Included
Original Battery Model: AB653850CA (1500 mAh)
Product: Mugen Power 3900mAh Extended Battery for Google Samsung Nexus S / T-Mobile Nexus S with Battery Door
Rom used: my own kwbr rom
Kernel: stock kernel ICS 4.1.1 (3.0.31-g3b0c5d2)
For all that are interested in an extended battery for the Nexus S here is a small review of the 3900mAh extended Mugen battery.
Unpacking and installing
The Mugen 3900mAh for the Nexus S came in the known package including quick start guide how to calibrate the battery. Shipped the day after ordering it arrived within 2 weeks. First thing you will notice is the size of the battery as well as the battery door. These are quite huge.
The 3900mAh battery has a perfect fit although I had to use some pressure the first time installing the battery. Battery door installed without any problems.
Using the battery
Although the backcover is pretty huge, making the Nexus S really a bulky phone, strange thing is it gives a great grip. So, let's clear battery stats after installing the hardware. After a week of usage I can say the battery is great. I can run this device for days! Check images for stats and info.
The Verdict
A very good battery although not cheap. No need to charge the phone on a daily basis instead of the stock battery. In the end I think I will only use this battery when on holidays. It will give you a brilliant battery life ... but it also completely changes the way the Nexus S feels. And that's one thing I like about this device. Conclusion in the end is it highly depends on personal taste and real need for a bigger battery. More juice you will get for sure!

FYI to drop a bit on the price, if you buy from Mugen official website, they offer a facebook discount. And their customer support is also very good quality. And i think all together this battery is worth every penny, it is a very good accessory indeed.
Thanks for the review, does NFC (Beam) still work with the extended battery cover?

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?

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.
