Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a 3rd party battery replacement for my 2x. I have some concerns and questions.
1. Are they safe or rather, how safe are they? I do understand that by using them my warranty will be void, right?
2. The 3500mAh increases the size by a lot I am presuming, so is there something in between like a 2300mAh?
The batteries which I am looking at our located here and here.
Any suggestions?
yes me too, same question...

hey Girls,
i have one of them.
the Battery is double of the original thickness,
by charging it dosnt heat but it need the double time for charging,
the lifttime with one charging feels about double then the orginal
and if you look at the production details there is witten "Stable and safety with circuit protection" and i think its truh
the battery cover fits OK but only on top its about 0.15mm to big.
i use them for wifi hotspot in park or by travel
the delivery from the ebay seller is about 1,5weeks from HongKong to germany

any updates for your battery?
anyone try the 2400ma battery from ebay?
The battery is nice. It does hold a lot longer charge than the original one. GPS seems the same also. I don't really know how to test it out, but I use data and have calls occasionally and text a lot. It still has 75 to full charge by the end of the day or all day too.

this is the battery i bought (has the gsm back cover i believe). It works and also works for the touch pro too!
EDIT: After looking at the battery, the ends of the plastic were out too far so I had to sand/shave part it off to fit better.
http://cgi.ebay.com/GRAY-BACK-DOOR-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51892fab07
I bought this extended case to fit the cdma one. It is nice but mine kind of didn't fit right. I think the hinges were off preventing it sliding all the way on.
EDIT: This one really actually fit. Its just the hole for the camera was being prevented from the going in all the way because of the battery so I cut off part of camera circle and it fits perfectly.
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-OEM-HTC-Tou...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b1e0fbbc
Ordering this one. should be coming in during the week. hopefully it fits better!
EDIT: This one fits good also. It also goes better with the color of the charger port and stylus.
pictures
here are some pics.
i updated my post before this.
If you look at the gray back where the camera is you can see in the cover that it is cut out at the bottom of the camera.
I sanded the battery edges because it didn't fit the maroon case. Now both the back covers are nice and fit perfectly.
i just bought this one:

2400mAh BATTERY F Sprint VX6850,MP6590,MP6950SP,DIAM500
Seller: battery.check - HK Hong Kong Seller
I got this and it was working for the first day. and now it doesnt charge. When i put it in to charge it just keeps turning on and off. I got this for $18. This is such a piece of crap. Anyone know how to fix this?
ok i got it to charge by loading it up into a universal battery charger for cellphones, but that still doesnt solve the problem. when the battery is completely drained, it just resorts back to turning on and off if i plug my phone directly to the charger. I am no way taking the battery out to charge everytime. thats just ridiculous. This also happened to another battery for the htc diamond for 1800ma that my friend purchased, does the same thing.
BE Wary of these CHINA cellphone batteries.... lucky its cheap.. wonder how does the mugen 3000mah holds up.
ive heard that the 1800mah batterry is meant to be good ive ordered one for my htc diamond however ive decided to use a english seller on ebay i will let you know how i get on when it comes through you might wanna look at the tweaks topic if you tyurn off some of the stuff that they say to do on there like i did you will find that your phones battery life lasts longer it worked for me although my battery life still goes in 12 hours im not too fussed cause i know when i get my new battery it wont die it should last for the full day and i only done a few of the tweaks like turned my beam off etc
i find that gps, hspca mode and beam and media player and apps like this eat your battery life really fast so i limit use of these apps and my battery lasts alot longer
Anyone think the power skin case would work for our hd2 that they made for the EVO or for that matter the HD7? I'd love to get this case! Double battery!
Thoughts?!?

It be great if it works... but I doubt it. I'm not sure if the size of the two devices are the same.
Don't figure anyone would be willing to test.

I am glad I came across this forum post. I will be getting me a powerskin.

Ofcourse it will work, since what you are doing is not different from charging the phone. I mean you connect this battery via miniusb to the phone so i see no reason why it shouldn't work. I think the right question would be if the device will show it as an extended battery or as the phone being charged. I think you get what i am trying to say.

OEM T-Mobile Protective Cover w/ Battery Boost for HTC HD2
The reviews don't seem to be too good, and I'm nt frm the US, but guessing someone might want this
Hi ppl why you want to buy something that makes the phone ugly, big ,non pocket friendly and you have to carry it. If i checked correct it charging the phone up to 85%. If you don't have problem to carry something with you you can choose zagg which can charge hd2 almost 4 times or you can carry a Chinese battery from eBay which is really cheap and smaller . For me because this is a problem i choose this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320646241073
Same size without changing battery cover
This is my opinion guys sorry for my bad English

Ty for the reply,
About the zagg, I don't want to carry along something that is detached from my phone, because I like to keep it in my pocket; I admit this makes it thicker, but I got extra big pockets just in case - sales assistant stared at me cluelessly when I asked for jeans/cargo trousers with the biggest pockets.
About the 2430mah Chinese battery, it's stated capacity is a lie - hence a waste of money.

LOl theres no way the fit an extra 1000mah in the same size battery. Im no expert at batteries but it isnt physically possible. I guess most xda members wear skinny jeans or something.
Wow that thing is huge and ugly imo. I get great life out of my battery using hyperdroid GBX...ever since I have been using that rom I have not once thought about an exteded battery.
I bought this from ebay for $13 w/free shipping. Just got it today. Hd2 is 2mm x 1mm x .5mm smaller than the hd7, so it is a little loose. But barely loose. Still fits, and stays put, doesn't slide around. Hd7 power and battery ratings are the same as hd2, so it is fully compatible. Works great! Doesn't actually add to your total maH, but you have a gel cover with a built in 1500 maH battery that charges your phone when needed. The result- led is always green or amber, so no flashing led when message is received. Also, there is no data pass through, so you have to take the case off to sync with your pc. The case comes off easily though. Case takes the same usb connector as the phone, so you can use your charger. Since it is a case, the overall size increase is uniform, unlike the pregnant bulge of an extended battery. Still, I'm going to get an extended battery just to have it and check it out. I recommend this case.

Hi, i wonder how much extra working ours you get using this case, ? some 10hrs more ?
My mom owns an HTC HD7, I tried one of her cases on my phone, and it fit perfectly, however the problem is that the volume rocker is on the other side so it makes it difficult to change the volume on the phone

I was thinking of getting one of these (or an extended battery) but I just bought a portable charger. It's 2300 mah (almost 2 extra full charges) for only $30.
POWERSKIN only 4.99$
POWERSKIN only 4.99$ but not available for FRANCE ....fk...
now even 0,01$ and i think shipping to europe is possible as i could choose it on checkaout. Shipping 14,95$
you could order one? and you probably did...
i had a master plan of ordering few of them, sending them to someone in europe who can order them and sending them to everyone across the continent who wanted one.
DealExtreme now have a 3500 mAh battery with cover Link
However I don't think it's 3500 mAh and the quality is probably low and it wont be water resitance because it miss the extra internal cover for the battery.
there is such topic already, and this battery is the same, that already more than month selling on ebay
It's thicker than stock. I have ordered one similar to that as well. Just waiting on it to arrive. There is another topic here that is already about extended batteries for the defy. Your link does include the rear battery cover. However, I would not try and dip that in water unless you put some kind of waterproofing on the replacement back cover. Getting better battery life for cheap does have its disadvantages as well. Unless some company makes one that retains water resistance with a large battery and replacement back cover.

Oh it exist a topic like that already. I missed the "Extended Battery Idea" topic ._.
Anyway Dealextreme is a more know seller then ebay sellers so I would go for Dealextreme insted of ebay.
agree, i might consider the larger battery
This is really interesting! I want one too but if any of you were to buy it, i would be cautious since dealxtreme is known for having cheap chinese made products, theres an american company i found online that sells this battery: http://www.wirelessground.com/motorola-defy-extended-high-capacity-battery.html just sayin
Another dealextreme 3500mAh
Now there's also this one:
dealextreme.com/p/3500mah-rechargeable-extended-battery-pack-cover-for-motorola-mb525-73564 - 3500mAh Rechargeable Extended Battery Pack + Cover for Motorola MB525
In addition to the previous
dealextreme.com/p/replacement-3-7v-3500mah-battery-pack-with-back-case-for-motorola-defy-me525-mb525-bf5x-90589 - Replacement 3.7V/3500mAh Battery Pack with Back Case for Motorola Defy ME525/MB525/BF5X
Both back cases have no waterproofing. As (remaining) capacity is probably more related to age of the battery than to price; I would pick the newer white one. Anyway, you only loose $11 instead of ~$30 for the ebay options.
I just got a D.Seven extended battery for US$13
Its more than double the thickness of a normal battery, comes with an extra cover which makes you lose the waterproofness....and my shell doesnt fit now, the phone is now damn bulky...
Dont think i'll be using it anytime soon, unless going camping or something
Iit would have created a smaller battery

Hi.
And what about the battery life ? Huge improvement ? Or insignificant ? Thx for the test.
It would be so uncomfortable to carry it after using this battery.
so....is it works?
at least should have double time usage with this battery....
... right?
I tested my D.Seven 3000ma battery....battery life increased by 20 - 30% only...
Hey guys i am planning to buy a little boost to my hd2. I like to buy an extended battery+battery door with kick stand+protective backcase ( that flexible cover pannel which protects from drops,scratches etc)
And the problems are, as i never used an extended battery b4, i dont know which one is good, is there any 3000+ mA version?
Have any one used such a higher capacity one which realy works? Also i need the battery door with kick stand.
The other thing is that can i get a protective case that supports the dimensions (ie,the backdoor bulge when using an extended battery) of extended battery??
Guys pls help me out. I am from india and so pls provide me a dealer that ships to india.
Thanks in advance.

You could buy something like this :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2400mAh-Extended-Battery-Door-Cover-For-HTC-HD2-HD-2-/220713693102?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item33638fafae
Free shipping to India. When it comes to original extended battery it is almost impossible to find it..
The one linked above can be found as cheap as £3.99, the quality of the rear door as very poor & battery is closer to 1800mAh than 2400.
If budget & availability exists get original HTC extended battery or look at the CS extended battery as another cheap easily sourced option.
Looked both links. Confused... as always.. hundreds of options.( in ebay itself). thats why i asked for some one who used a real extended battery. I meen pls provide a link to a battery that is real extended and not fake china ones,which any of u have used( i never gonna belive or buy by checking wht internet says), and is proved good.
Also need a backdoor with kickstand and a protective case tht support extended batterie's backdoor.
Currently i am using the default battery and with a flexible shell type protective case. The case is originaly for desire hd. But hd2 fits into it perfectly. All i have to do is to cut open a little portion of case for led flash and speaker. ( lol.. spend almost a week in search of hd2 protective case in almost entire state itself. No luck. So bought this one)
HD2 HYPERDROID EXTREME EDITION V6.0.1 @ FIKERT KERNAL.
Why don't you just buy a spare battery+external charger? I have bought those from dealextreme it was less than 10$ and after 6months I'm still very happy with it
Simply the best one with kick stand quality back cover & only one with genuine quoted mAh is HTC genuine extended battery.
Second option is Mugen but it is as expensive as HTC genuine & mAh rating is a little over stated & back door is not as good.
The HTC genuine also has no issues using all cell power but some cheaper ones require pulling & re-inserting at 50% level.
The cheaper ones on eBay are appalling quality all round & a pointless bulge with little extra power.
Conclusion=Only decent extended battery & kickstand door is HTC one so search eBay or mobile stores & find one shipping to India.

I bought an official HTC extended battery from this ebay user and it's holds up great, if your like me and use you're HD2 a lot during the day this battery is a must have. Here's a review/info for it http://youtu.be/LgKiMSSX9Rw.
For a case that fits an extended battery go to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316516
P.S. make an offer for the battery i got mines for $38.
Cheap standard sized CS battery with worldwide shipping is £5.35 at moment on eBay.
Not bad for spare or to get an old battery dead HD2 running for a while, also good for those with no local options ...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120887562999
Good thing is if never arrives or does not meet your standards the chance of full refund is very high ...
One hint:
If ur planning to buy a cheap ass battery, you can even better use ur stock battery, cause these cheap battery's can only destroy ur hd2.. and doesn't expand the lifetime that much.

I can understand the need to occasionally want to extend the battery life of your Note II. Camping trip, road trip… However I wonder if this is the best solution. I don't know how much the case costs or what it weighs but think that maybe buying one or two extra batteries would be a better option. It would probably be a cheaper option and one that would not ruin the form factor of your Note II
The point is not cost.. But protection +convenience +handiness..
Buying an extra battery is not a problem but opening the back cover all the time to change the batter is.. The cover gets loosened up after few times.. And if one uses back cover or any sort of cover you need to peel of two layers to get to battery...I am just trying to know how reliable these cases are.. Extended battery is also a solution though
I've gone the extra batteries and found it to be much more of a hassle than a convenience. Now that I carry multiple phones (Blackberries, HTCs), carrying batteries for my phones is out of the question. I found that carrying battery Power Banks solved my problem.

I know someone who got that one above, $20 shipped without front flip cover, and it looks almost identical to the one from your link. From what I heard it works perfectly, especially charging N2 battery while phone is idle. But when you are actively using the phone, charging is at slower rate than discharging (only 500mA output). For $20 its a good "backpack" battery charger without a need to remove original battery/cover.
They have the case the op is talking about on ebay for $39 and some change. They have black, white, and a bundle package. The bundle package is cheaper then buying the battery case by itself. I searched for, "extended battery case for galaxy note 2" from the ebay app on my phone.

I bought one of ebay. The first one I received wouldn't work, so I returned it. Luckily they replaced it in a couple of days.
The new one works, but it is definitely a trickle charge. Using battery monitor widget, or showed a net charge rate of about 450-500 ma/h when the screen was left off for about 15 minutes. With the screen on and moderately heavy usage, it would still charge, but only showed a net gain of 150ma/h. I havent tried it with gps on or anything really battery intensive.
It does add some bulk but not a huge amount. The case/battery seems pretty well made but the flip cover has a mucv cheaper feel than the back does.
I usually don't use it day to day, but it came in really handy on a recent camping trip. I was able to charge my phone back while it was in my pocket while I was away from an electrical outlet.
I have about $35 or so in it, after buying one and shipping back the faulty one. I think it's worth it overall, but expect a trickle charge from it
