Battery Question

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

New battery on the block?

Hi all, anyone tried these;
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1900mAh-...Accessories&hash=item3a6aadd5bc#ht_5871wt_922
?
Are they anywhere near as good as they sound?

Want to know too..
Yesterday I ordered Antutu 1980 (with mixed review)..
We, android user, always long for bigger battery..

anyone got one of these? I'd like to get one myself, but Im waiting for feedback first

hey. i now have a optimus 2x, but i tried this 'brand' battery on my xperia x10. there just a 1500ma battery re stickered. if you want huge battery life get the huge 3200ma with the extended battery cover off ebay. its pretty bulky though...

for me cheap 1800 battery from ebay works a little better than original 1500

Well, that battery performs more or lese like the stock one. I can barely get one day out of it.

No point spending money on "good" batteries.. Buy $2.80 ones and switch regularly.

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..

there are a few ebay sellers who sell the genuine htc battery. just search for "genuine htc ba s520" on ebay. most are based in uk. all around 15 - 20 gbp.
you will find several chinese aftermarket batteries claiming higher capacity than the 1450mah of the genuine battery, but beware. none of them (i've tested a few) actually last longer than the htc battery, in my experience. and i don't know if the quality can be trusted. they do cost a lot less than the genuine battery so it is a cheaper option.

u can try dc mugen

I want higher capacity battery so that my phone last longer between charging.. not HTC ori battery with same capacity.. thanks ya..

If it would be possible to put more capacity in the same size battery HTC would have done that from the start, you're only option is to get one of those fat 3500mah batteries from ebay with a thicker battery cover, i'm thinking of getting one of those, unfortunatly i can't put a silicon case around the phone then ...

is anyone aware which is better battery among the custom makers ?
Will be great if that is available in India .

4000mAh Battery
Just bought one of those chinese 4000 mAh batteries on ebay.
The [email protected]#$%^ thing won't let me switch on mobile network (3G) ?????????!!
Real Handy.......wifi, bluetooth, gps all fine.
It may be an HTC issue, like Windows, doesn't like hardware changes, it may be the rear case,who knows?
It's a thumping big thing, twice the size, but I only get about another half a day.....Whooopeee.
Thankfully it was only about five bucks.
Anyone have a similar issue ?

SEIDIO SUPER EXTENDED LIFE BATTERY FOR HTC INCREDIBLE S

extended battery/door
Thanks mate, I'll take a look.

I've been using the previously mentioned Mugen 3700 mA extended battery (larger, yes, but I'm used to it already) for 2.5 weeks now.
I've completed calibrating and conditioning the battery thru the 5 discharge cycles as instructed, followed by some of the lore I've sifted from xda. It's been useful.
I used to charge in morning and had to be careful not to use my phone too much and need to charge again in one day if I used it a fair amount. My incS was used, so stock battery probably had wear.
Now I get two full days of moderate-somewhat heavy use, and very far into the 3rd day if I use it just for (many) texts and a few short calls and it sleeps half the time or more.
E.g., charged before bed, sat unplugged during sleep, heavy use today (gps for 30+ min, browsing, texts) and 71% capacity as of now.

Good try! how much it cost?

That's meant so far no identical battery with longer battery life (i.e. last 1 whole day for moderate to heavy use)? sigh...

Stick to genuine HTC batteries. Most of the Ebay fakes are far lower quality and often are mislabeled (especially if it claims higher capacity in the same form factor).
Your phone should last at least 24 hours on one charge though (unless you're using it very heavily). Try changing your habits a bit (turning off data/wifi when not using it) and also maybe try a battery calibration. If you do a battery calibration make sure you read a few guides on google and do it properly otherwise you will most likely be worse off.

Some aftermarket hi capacity battery need a special battery cover which makes it very ugly

I bought the 3500 mAh battery with fat back cover (from Ebay). Its a chinese ****s production... We know that on our IncS the antenna is placed inside of back cover. This chinese cover has some antenna as well, but the signal is much worse. For example with original cover I get like 4 full bars. With chinese ****s cover I get only 2-3 bars.
Im already having troubles with the signal in some places, but with this cover it will be even worse.. So I stay with my original HTC back cover. Dunno what to do with this 3500 battery..

why don't you buy another stock battery ?
i think stock one is gd enough.

I think that MUGEN 3600mAh is optimal high-capacity battery on the market. Its stable and reliable...

Has any1 tried using Seidio batteries for Incredible S?
Apparently, they claim to use Lithium Polymer technology as opposed to Lithium-ion.
Wikipedia says Polymer is superior to ion but also more expensive.
Only mobile manufacturer known to supply phones with Lithium Polymer batteries is Sony Ericsson.
Seido 3500mAH battery for HTC Incredible S is on eBay for $69. It says its assembled in Taiwan? Its also not as FAT as Mugen's but still needs a back door, which is included. They also have a website.
Mugen might have a new, superior competitor.

Dont look for extended batteries on Ebay they are usually false.
There is 3300mAh Mugen for Milestone, they specialise on extended batteries and have positive reviews.
You can check it here
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-milestone-with-battery-in-black-3300mah.html
Mugen ships worldwide

Few things:
First of all, I've purchased extended batteries for my OG Droid from a seller called 'edeal8' from ebay. It is generic, and lacks a temperature sensor, but it IS actually an extended battery.
That being said, if you are worried about the batteries not working, or exploding, or whatever, you can pick them up for almost nothing on Amazon.com.
I think I paid ~ $2USD for an OEM Motorola battery from them.

Looking to buy a new battery

My IncS battery has been dying faster and faster as of late so I want to replace it. Any suggestions which battery I should get and how much it will cost?

OMG that capacity is awesome and the price?! Sounds way to good to be true, what could happen in worst case, I mean when u say: original or genuine or safe ?

even im not sure wt if it screws up our phone

My stock battery was getting ridiculous, if I get up at 7am and unplug the phone off the charger, the battery will be pretty much dead by 2pm (<20%).
So last week I picked up HLI-S710EXL from Mugen Power. (You need to go search it on their webiste, I can't post link due to newbie status)
I was hesitant at first because the phone could become bulky due to the extra thickness, but now I'm actually holding the phone better as the extra thickness sits right in the centre of my palm, creating a more natural grip.
Battery life is extended significantly, by the time I go to bed around midnight, usually there is still 35% left in the tank.
I know the price is a bit steep, but I think it's well worth the money, especially if you are not about to purchase a new phone in the near future. I'd totally recommend it.

i found battery 2450 in stock size on aliexpress.

hesitant to buy a new batterly
I'm also looking for a new battery.... but hesitant because I also seeking for the next phone...

If you want to buy some cheap but high quality HTC batteries online, I think you need to try the Everbuying.com.

Truth about batteries is, the manufacturer has already installed the highest capacity battery possible for the physical dimensions of the battery. I've purchased them gold batteries and many other( higher capacity rated for the same physical size) batteries and they seem to be a tad better than original battery for a few weeks but then quickly diminish in capacity to a point way below your stock battery. If you want more mAH from a battery to fit into inc s you must look into extended batteries where the physical size of the battery has been increased. A word of warning too with all these cheap batteries is that most if not all of them have no inbuilt thermal protection circuitry and therefore the posibility exists of thermal runaway caused by batteries being charged when they are too hot to be charged- eg hot summers day in a car...
