Has anyone tried BP7X 1680mah battery on XT720?
I think this battery is for MS and MS2 (BP6X), and since we share the same battery this BP7X might work on XT720.
The only problem is where to get new battery cover,
MS2 uses the same battery as the XT720...
@Visatus
that´s for sure..but the BP7X is a tiny bit thicker, therefor it usually is delivered with a new backcover for the MS2
and this is "our" problem..where to get a fitting XT720 battery cover, which can cope with the thicker body of the battery

I found this extended battery for the vogue. Any of you use this? If so how does it compare to the original standard battery?
that battery just showed up on the "battery scene"... it should provide more capacity based on mAh. i'm using Seidio's 2000 mAH battery it provides enough power to get me 1.5 days with normal usage.
Yeah I have that battery and anything is better than the one that comes with it. It lasts a lot longer as you would probably expect from a bigger battery. If you do get that battery it won't fit in your case anymore and the best case I found that fits it perfect by the way is this one http://swissmobility.swissmobilitystore.com/store/product/swissmobility_commander. It fits it perfect after a day of breaking it in. It is also cheaper here at this site http://www.buywirelessnow.com/smartwireless/buy/accessories/cat/615/accessory/298685 which includes the cover and free shipping.

Mind sharing pictures of what it looks like installed? Also do you know if any of the existing extended batteries would fit using the OEM extended battery door?
thanks,

Here are a few pictures. As far as other batteries fitting inside like the 2000 from seidio it probably will because they claim it will still fit in the original holster with the back you can get with it and with this HTC back it won't fit inside the original holster. This is all an assumption.
thanks for the pictures... if you have it, i'd like to see a side-shot of the phone with battery cover (similar to 3rd from left but with cover) and a bottom-shot of the phone with battery cover (looking from bottom). having an OEM cover vs. the tight Seidio cover is something i'm thinking about (not to mention having another backup battery). thx
Yo, here are the pictures you requested.

thank you sir...
Guess I can't get the 2000mah battery then
What else you guys recommend ?
I've been thinking of getting the Treo 700wx
This is the 1500mah battery which fits with the original cover..

too expensive though, there's tons of them on ebay cheaper
Will a Extended Battery Door for a Capacity 1900 mAh battery fit a 2000mah battery?
i have the extented door for the OEM 1900 mAh battery and it easily accomodates seidio's 2000 mAh battery. in fact, the 1900 mAh battery is taller than seidio's 2000 mAh battery.
Thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward to the purchasing the door and the extended battery.
how much room is left in between the battery and the cover would you say? I want to put an led in the case for a non-flash/light. the mugen-power full case looks like it would work, but I don't want to spend $75 on a 3 year old phones battery.
Hey guys, I've been looking at extended batteries for the myTouch 3g, and I just found one on ebay. Does it seem like a good and reliable one? It says it is 3.7V Li-ion 2100mAH, but to tell you the truth, I don't really know what that means. It also comes with a cover. Will it add a ton of thickness to my phone, and do you know if the case around my myTouch will still fit?

Thanks.
Regarding your battery
Hello!
Here's my opinion on your battery.
The original battery inside your phone now is 1340mAh (milliamp hours).
The one you're looking at is 2100mAh, which for you would be a 56.71% increase in battery life.
The upside:
Ridiculous battery life
The downside:
1970's soviet era technology backing for your phone (it's terrible looking).
No accessories skins/acrylics would really accommodate your phone. You'd have to rely on a universal-type side holster.
The battery is off-brand and ships from China, the quality of these cells are unknown, and who knows how old.
Perhaps try reputable battery brands such as "Seidio" or "Mugen"
I recently purchased a Seidio 1500mAh slim profile battery, which gives me an 11.94% increase in power, whilst allowing me to keep my current backing on with NO increase in device thickness.
Couple this with some operating system tweaks and or a new rom specifically made for battery improvements and you should really enjoy from then on in.
Good Luck!
Anyone bought it?
http://cgi.ebay.com/2400mAh-Extende..._Accessories&hash=item5ad84bc6c0#ht_500wt_750
I'm curious about how it will fit and if its secure.
I have this battery, and i found the fitting it not that good. I had to trim down some edges from the plastic cover to fit properly. Also the battery lifetime doesn't impress me much, so it's my backup battery now and the original will be my primal.
so is it a no buy? does it last???
man... I really wanted a long lasting battery
at last a 1 day without charge
I really use the phone a lot...
video, excel, internet, gps, games...
HD2 is a powerhouse and don't let me down (rick roll xD)
the only cons is the battery life.
=================
"lifetime doesn't impress me much"
it's really that bad? What do you think its the REAL capacity?
it's printed 2400mh...
You think it last 30% more than a original battery?
I was expecting to last 50% more at least...
I really doubt it is even 30%, i haven´t tested it thoroughly but i found that i was at the same percentage at the end of the day with the fat battery as with the orignal one. So i just have this fat battery with me in case of an ermergency or so. My original battery now last 3 days for me so i can deal with that, i don´t use it that often.
I would not buy it for a second time, even tho it is really cheap.
So why will they sell this huge brick and it is no better than the flat original battery? hmmmm... :-?
To make money, and it works
You can buy two spare standard batteries and charger for around $12US on ebay, and I find it quite easy to just have a charged spare in my pocket for when I am out and about, and one still on charge ready for when I get home in case I need it.
For me it has been an improvement. I have more protected the camra and now the life expectancy is slightly higher than 40%
size of ext.battery
Could anybody post a photo of HD2+ext.bat or write in mm width of exserted battery.
if you are honestly going the route of the ugly ugly extended battery back cover and all.. why not just get an official htc.. so quality wouldn't be an issue????
Because the HTC one still isn't available.

The width of the battery is 52mm the thickness is 10mm and the lenght is 45mm
I didn't buy the HTC extended battery but one from amazon sold by Karen Deals. Link is below

Shipping was lightning fast. Seller had it in the mail in 12 hours! Bought it on Wed and got it on Sat. Pretty good for being sent from across the continent (cali to minn).
Model No: cs-ht8585xl

Battery
The new battery has the same width and length as the stock but the height has been doubled.
Case
Looks like it's made from ABS plastic with exterior (outside of phone direction) being coated with a 'soft plastic' layer. Feels cheap but doesn't seem like it will break.
The extended battery cover made by HTC looks much better than this one since the other one has a lot more curves. I don't like the fact that it just dips down at the top and bottom. It makes the cover seem like it didn't come with the phone unlike the HTC extended battery cover which curves and has a battery stand.
Would you reccomend this battery? What is your average battery life now? Minimal use, medium, or heavy usage?
Thanks in advance
Highly recommended. I had my phone turned on at 10am and ran it until 10pm and it's got 40% left after heavy/moderate use.
Hey, guys this battery is one of the newer ones found in Ebay. I took a stab and went for it as it was only 10 bucks. As you can see in the video this Quality of the construction is very good for a plastic cover. The cover and the device is flush on the sides, which is is perfect for me and ITS THINNER THAN OTHER ONES THAT I HAVE SEEN ON XDA. KICKstand is great too.
Take a look at the video.(incomplete due to the 256mb SDHC card )

part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U66JxD75bWk
Performance: Still testing the battery. Not sure how to, but I will recharge the battery with the device shut off and open up android to see how good the battery actually is. Seems like its using only the first half of the battery(16hrs with 80% left - I was listening to music, texing my cuz who was at bestbuy line for 55" LED Samsung, while I was at sears waiting in line till 1am . My cuz got the tv for 1500 so ) But I will try to recalibrate it.
The interesting thing was, when i first tested it, it was with mdjeejay 2.3 clean with NON EXTENDED Kernel. So, Im not sure whats going on there. (MAY BE ITS A FAKE)
But I kinda need help about testing the battery. Cause Im not really sure how to recalibrate it.

UPDATE: This battery works with any kernal available, whether or not the kernel supports extended battery does not seem to matter.
May i have link to it?
Thanks

I have both the official and this 2600mah/2400mah (advertised elsewhere) with kickstand. The kickstand will fall apart after a short time... The hinges that keep them in place are very weak. Mine broke in less than a week.
The battery life is very good and doesn't add much thickness to the phone. I would say the total thickness is about 15mm compared to 11mm of the phone without the extended battery. I do prefer this battery in some sense to the official one with kickstand as it is quite a bit thinner (guess about 18mm) however HTC OEM has a "real" kickstand...

I have the HTC extended battery... Can these extended batteries be used with the HTC extended battery case??? I just need another extended battery... Want to use my HTC case and kickstand????

Yes, I can use the HTC case with these 3rd party batteries but not vice versa as the HTC extended battery is thicker.
Another problem and mentioned on other threads the battery acts like 2 batteries. The controller is el-cheapo. Once you run out of juice, remove the battery and re-insert then you get another 50-60%+
but i have heard or read somewhere that you could calibrate the battery somehow to make android show the whole battery percentage. Any idea how?
