I need a new battery.
I need peoples opinions on which deal I should take
On HTC Express, I can get 2 batteries at 1900 mAh for $24. Or for $29 I can get 2 batteries at 1800 mAh with a wall battery charger. My charger wire that I have now is falling apart though, and isn't working right. What should I get?
Go with the two 1900 mAh, it's a better deal.
I got two 1900's with a wall charger for $30 a while back on amazon. Never used the wall charger, never touched the second battery. Good for backup I suppose, but unnecessary.
Get the ones with the batter charger...can never hurt to have a spare charger around
I bought the 1800 from htcexpress months ago, love it, $20. No need for a new batt door was the deal closer for me. I had the 2150, but man was it ugly!
Received my order from HTCExpress the other day. $29 for 2 1900 & charger (don't know if the special still exists - I haven't checked since). Like someone else stated, the fact you can retain your cover sealed the deal! Also doesn't hurt to keep an extra battery on hand either.

I read that someone was having troubles fitting the standard door over one of those 1900's. They said that the door wouldn't completely snap in all the way around. What's your experience with the fit?

That's exactly what I'm going to get for my DINC. Excited for the battery life without compromising size
Now are the 1900's true factory OEM's or not? Go to Batteryboss.org, I know there isn't much for the incredible there, but look at the actual mAH of the OEM batterys(almost spot on), to the actual mAH that you get out of the after market ones. Some of the ones that are even 500-600 more get less then OEM versions...

sorry for the late reply. I haven't a problem with the 1900. You have to make sure the battery is seated firmly/flush and the cover snaps on all sides. At first I thought the cover wouldn't snap, then I noticed my battery wasn't completely flush, so after I reseated, cover snapped shut on all sides. snug but shut.
Just bought two of these.

Awesome, I am thinking about getting these. How is your battery life compared to the original?
for backup, i got two 1900's with a wall charger for $30.
but the original one is better for me.
These probably have the same juice as a OEM evo 1500 battery at the most, because their not authentic HTC...
I am also looking for a new battery. I know that the sideo 1750mah batteries uses to be popular, does anyone know how these compare to those?
Ok, so I found a better deal on the HTC Express website. For $29.99 I can get 2 1900 Mah batteries and a charger! Thanks for the opinions everybody! Is there anything I have to do before using the batteries or something?

I have two of these. It helps to charge them fully using external charger then put in your phone fully charged and clear battery stats. It takes one or two cycles to notice a difference. I usually charge one with the external charger and switch in the morning. I get great battery life with the 1900 ( I think its really 1800) and cm7 with tiamat kernel

I'm using the 1500 htc battery with good results. I don't have a good comparison because I only used the stock battery for a few days. The 1500 htc batteries are from the hd2.

Definitely a tighter fit.. I had a bit of a worn back and it wouldn't stay on with the bigger batt.. New back = no problem..
+1 for the OEM 1500mah battery off ebay for $12 shipped. Cleared 2 days(2d 9h) w/ average use on and off 3G. This is 3 cycles in. Very pleased so far.

I got mine from Seidio on Monday; not a miracle battery but definitley better life than OEM. If you don't like the hunch-back look and want a second battery this is the way to go. I would extimate that it is giving me roughly 10% better life as they advertise.

Seidio battery may give a smidge more life; build is pretty poor though, and seems to be made of some paper-like or cardboard/plastic material, covered with not very well-fitting cellophane. If you never remove your battery, may not be an issue, but I suspect this one wouldn't take very many change-outs without getting rather worn. Also seems like it heats up a bit more...

Their batteries are pretty cheap. Rating from Reseller Rating is quite good too.
I am using 2 of these and they work real nice, very high quality batteries comes sealed in shrink wrap plastic which prevents air and moisture from getting into these batteries that kills it's ultimate capacity.

Hi...
I need a couple of new high capacity batteries with a high mAh rating.
Do any of you have info on the best place to buy ?
Id rather purchase from a European vendor but will consider importing worldwide.
TIA.

i just bought a 3600mAh mugen off ebay. works great my first week using it. i get between a 1.5 and 2 days of usage where previously, i'd be dead by 9pm of day 1.
what size battery is that ?
I forgot to mention that I need a regular sized battery, IE one without a new battery cover.
...so it fits into my case.
If it is regular size, what's the name of the ebay seller ?
TIA.

I got a cradle from these guys. It was a $29.00 and it has an extra slot for a second battery to charge. I convinced the Sprint Repair Center that the battery life really sucked and they gave me an extra battery, so I was looking for a charger that could do 2 batteries.
The charger did not come with any documentation. It is one of two dual chargers on the Website http://www.talkietech.com/ and it is the one where the battery sits flat, behind the handset. It is not the one made by HTC (ORA) where the batter is upright. That one is $79 but i bet it will work better and it has 3 led's one for each battery and one for power!
The device has two led's on it and they simply do not change color, no matter what you do. One stays blue and the other green. The sales guy at TalkeiTech was very helpful but said that there was a replacement version coming in November.
Apparently the problem is from having one or both the USB and power cords plugged in (rapid charge option) at the same time. He stated you need to have both plugged in simultaneously.
I was using it as a simple charger that was near the door to the garage so I could charge both batteries as soon as I got home.
I use the Boxwave charger at my desk but it only has space for one battery but only needs USB (slow charge option).
I have now swapped the chargers so the dual one is attached to my PC and an electrical outlet, the left led seems to be for the 2nd battery and it changed red when I plugged in a low battery otherwise nothing else happened.
We are now negotiating for a new charger . . . .

Defective Mogul Cradle
I just obtained a new car cradle from Buy GPS Now
http://www.buyGPSnow.com
The thing is an absolute piece of junk. This is the second one they sent me. They claimed the first one needed a longer USB connector and that this new one was equipped with it.
Well that is not the case. The new one has some rubber strips on the sides to hold the phone in place because the device is really made for the thicker TyTn’s such at the AT&T 8125, 8525 and the new TyTn II (Tilt).
It is obvious that there is no one doing any quality control. On the first one I though it may be the length of the USB as they claim so I took it apart and plugged the full connector into the Mogul and powered it up, and the same conditions existed: the device would charge for a second and then stop charging and then the phone would lock up. This is a firmware issue not a connector issue.
Anyway they are slow to respond since they do not have a telephone number and you wait forever for a live chat person who seems to be NOT Empowered to do anything . . .

Bought the 3200 mAh battery from Seidio
Bought it about 3-4 days ago. Showed up without any fanfare. Also got the slim rubberized case (hint, the super extended battery and the slim rubberized case DO NOT go together).
So far, I have been charging like normal, I usually keep it plugged in at work and have noticed that about 30 minutes after taking it off the cable, the power drops to about 90%. this could be the battery "conditioning" as the Seidio site says. Don't know yet.
Oh, I had to write to Seidio to point out that the main page graphic says "3600 mAh" and the battery that ships is 3200 mAh. Apparently the only ones who make a 3600 mAh battery are Mugen (google it, Mugen 3600 mAh Mogul battery).
I also ordered the stylus/pen combo. This is worth the money. I'm constantly looking for a pen, but ALWAYS have my phone. The pen expands out to be very comfortable to hold, not some tiny thing that you're left feeling like a giant with a midget pen.
The battery... well, time will tell if the expense was worth the cost.
Can more people who have either the Seidio 3200 or the Mugen 3600 batteries post something on performance or experience so I can get an idea. I am still debating. Seidio 3200 or Mugen 3600. I have a Verizon XV6800. I'm a power user and i will gladly sacrifice the size of my device for more battery life. I'm also debating on whether I should get 1 or 2 of these. Having the stock battery is like being on a leash...well for me at least. I did a bunch of searches on forums but there is not too much info especially on the Mugen 3600mah. Thanks guys.
Mugen or Seidio, you'll have to judge for yourself
I have the Seidio. I'm not about to go out and buy a Mugen as well as the Seidio battery. These things are quite large to lug around in my pocket. I may be a power user as well. The only question is, are you not near a power source for a long enough time to warrant getting one of these?

Thanks for the speedy response. My problem is i play in alot off basket leagues and tournaments and for work am out at a customer siteanywhere from 8 to 18 hours...nothing looks more ghetto than being with a customer and asking if they have a place you can charge your ur cell...lol. I need the secure feeling that i dont have to charge my phone 8 times a day. I actually think i am going to get 2 of the Seidio 3200s because i like the rubber case that they may be coming out with.
amazon has a great deal going on right now for all of you who have been wanting bigger battery.

nice! might buy one of these. not sure if i want my sleek phone turning into an obese amoeba though. for 12 bucks shipped I can get another OEM battery. I think i might rather have two spare OEM batteries in my glovebox...
Would definitely not face any juice problems with that beast in it but It would be hard for me to adjust to the bulk of the phone afterwords I'm afraid.

3500mAh
ebay 8.00 free shipping
For all those wondering, I got one of these batteries. It is slightly larger then the HTC 2150 extended battery and slightly smaller then the Seidio 3500 battery. You can use the HTC extended cover but there will be a small gap around the sides. With the backing that comes with the battery, it makes the whole thing feel very big. The max thickness is really the same as the HTC extended case, but it is big all over instead of just over the battery.
In addition to the case being clunky, I really did not see any benefit to this battery. Even though it says 3500, it gets less life then the 2150. If you want a lot of life out of your phone, go with the 3500 battery from Seidio. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. No matter which of these three batteries you get, they are all going to add the same amount of thickness which is approximately doubling the size and weight of your phone.
If you want to increase the life of your phone and not increase the size, Seidio also makes a 1800 battery that is good. I am using the one I had from my Eris.
i got this Acase 3500 mah battery a few weeks ago, it's great! bump charging vastly improves its battery life also. usually it lasts me about more than 24 hours
I got it late last week, and have been running it for a while. Battery life is a LITTLE better than the 1750 Sedio I had in it before. Not enough to justify the huge size, though. I can make it all day on my 1750, anyway.
Wow. Kind of disappointed after hearing all this that I bought it. Mine is supposed to come on the 22nd so I'll post back with results. Hopefully for my experience, I get better life out of it than stock.
I sent the Acase back and picked up two of the OEM 1800 evo batteries, they fit the dinc fine.
Do those OEM 1800 Evo batteries do much better than the OEM DINC battery? You can get 2 of the Evo 1800 batteries for $40 on Amazon.

get the seidio battery. this is the second extended battery i've bought from them. (had one for my evo 4g) so far it's been great. i can go at least 2 days on a single charge. just make sure you follow the instructions to get the most out of it. i charged mine over night and just let it completely die out. i'm using the matr1x kernel and i have it clocked at 1.2

I'm sure those cheap ones are fine, but I'm willing to pay a bit more to help ease the thoughts of a cheap battery....catching fire or exploding.
I just picked up a seidio 3500 from best buy today. Its big, reminds me of the old 5100 series Nokia from some years back but hoping for the best. I love the no slip coating on it though!
Anyone know where I should go to get one of the 3500mh batteries in Australia?
I got mine from Amazon. Here's their shipping policy for Australia:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=596190
I got mine yesterday and I love it so far. It does make the phone thicker, but I think the thickness is welcome, its easier to hold the phone to my ear with my shoulder. The battery cover is nice too. Just make sure you order the correct battery, the 4G is different from the regular NS and a few people left comments about it not fitting on Amazon.

Update - Im getting a solid two days of heavy use with this battery. I love not having to run to the charger. The second charge got me to 56hrs and I was at 4% IIRC. I forgot to take a screenshot though Ill take one on this charge. By this time of day Id already be down into the 60-70% range on the stock battery, but right now Im sitting at 81%
Side note - I also picked up the Seidio spring belt clip, and it fits perfectly with the extended battery due to the way the battery cover is. Its very sturdy and still gives you access to the lock button, volume rocker, charging port and headphone jack. Its also got a nice felt lining to protect the screen. I got it on eBay for $18 shipped.
Almost forgot to add, Im running NSCollab oc'd to 200 (screen off) 1200 (screen on) on demand.
Are there any extended batteries that will work with the stock back cover?

Thats why I went with the Seidio. Its nowhere near as sexy as the stock battery cover, but the Mugen cover is much worse. Its just a big lump of plastic.
How different are the battery doors between the NS and the NS 4G? I need a couple of cheap extended batteries from eBay and the ones for the 4G are scarce and there are more choices for the NS.
Pretty sure its the exact same battery
Correct, its the same battery, but they use different doors if you go with an extended battery.
I accidently ordered the regular Nexus S extended from Amazon, luckily Amazon took care of me same day and re-routed the wrong package. <3 them.
EDIT - What he said ^
Just wondering if anyone bought one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/1X-Gold-420...880538?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416dcac91a or bought a simular battery with higher mah then the stock but keeps the phone the same size. Not looking to put on one of those crazy hulking back covers.
Thanks in advance
Personally had issues with batteries from china/hong kong, also they have been know to lie about size of memory on memory cards and basically just labeling over stock batteries with fake labels. If you were wanting an extend battery I would suggest getting one from a reputable company such as mugen or another name brand company. I highly doubt a battery less than $20 will be any better than the oem. If there were a way for samsung to get a larger mah battery in that size they would have. I think your best bet is either getting another oem battery or purchasing an extended battery with the larger housing. IMO
Mugen is definitely the best battery wise, so if u can find a good case with or without wearing the back cover then I'd go with that if that's in your price range
How about a 2nd OEM battery to swap.

This is what I recommend.
I posted here showing a picture of the Onite extended battery I have and had someone comment on it showing that is wasn't fully snapped on to the back cover, well it was. The picture of the Mugen extended case, as provided in the same thread, has the official picture of the GNote2 with the extended case on it and it blatantly shows it not connect. Check out the thread.
I had great success with anker batteries on my note 1. Lasted as long or longer as the stock battery. Still being used by my son after 10 months of use and getting same duration out of them. Just got the qcell 3800mah extended battery for my wife's skyrocket and she has gone over 2 days on it now. Not sure about the lifespan yet as she has only had it for 2 weeks.

I bought this of ebay. If you peel the gold sticker off which I did it is just a 3100mah battery underneath

I used the 50% off code listed in the accessories forum to get a battery directly from Samsung for $25. Well spent for piece of mind and two batteries is likely more than I will ever need. Carry one as a spare and rotate them every few days or so.
Not sure of the code is still good.

That's a lie, I've had this battery in my n85, it was worse than the original, and was to be much better.
I have had great experiences with Hyperion and Qcell batteries. My mom is using my old GS3 and she says that the Qcell extended battery is still lasting her 2 days. There is no way that Mugen is 4 times better than either of those batteries. It does have NFC though. When my gs3 was new, no extended batteries had nfc, but they eventually added it. My guess is, in a month or two, Qcell will add nfc to their case. So if you buy one now and one when they add nfc you will have 2 extended batteries for half the cost of the Mugen. As soon as Hyperion comes out with a case for the extended battery, I am going to buy theirs.

True, i forgot abou that. Charger and battery for the sameprice of just the battery.
Also any battery that claims to have much more capacity (3800mAh - 4200mAh or more) in a standard size batter is BS. Everyone dreams of that mythical 5000mAh standard size battery, but it doesn't exist.
Unless I'm going camping for more than 3 days I can't see needing my standard battery with a standard spare.
I got this one from Amazon, And I've been super stoked!
(sorry, I'm too new, it stripped my URL)
The brand is Onite, and it was $24.98
it's a 6500 mAh battery, and cover. I've been wailing on wifi and wireless data all day while streaming pandora Non-Stop to my bluetooth beats, and at 10:42 PM, I still have 48% left.
This is the first phone I've had that I can talk with customers all day, and not have to put it back on the charger once.
A full day with heavy usage, and battery to spare at bedtime? Winner in my book!
