Does anyone have experience with the Motorola BF6X battery? Is it a legitimate OEM battery?
I purchased one from the following eBay user, but I've seen it around on other places. I will let you guys know how it is once I've got it, but I'd like feedback from others ...
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160657767951
I've had great luck with mine so far (1 week). Ordered 2 batteries with an in-wall charger for around 10-15 bucks. Can't beat it.

Those batteries aren't the same at all ... They are cheap knockoffs with probably half the rated capacity.
I bought mine at a verizon store. After I updated to 5.6.890 I monitored batt life. Had 40% @29th hour from the first full charge (had 70% when I bought it). Wrote it down, but can't find the stat. I was trying for 48hr. Fell short by 4 or 6 hrs.? Played XGalaxy2, Txt, Email, Tweaking, little broswering. lol . I'm using a live wallpaper now so thats using energy. ps. debloated.

I agree. Get the one from Verizon. You need the new battery door. I'm using one since I received the phone, still don't get anywhere near the rated phone specifications of 300 hours standby/550minutes usage. However, the battery does make a difference for me.
The inductive charger is also a nice accessory and works with the extended battery.

I got mine from amazon (the us site I mean), payed it 29 USD + 5 euros to ship it to italy (via a proxy service).
I just ordered a genuine Motorola 1930mAh battery; I've heard too many bad things about the generics and knock-offs to buy one of those. I would avoid them.
Can you buy genuine Motorola batteries for D3 that are bigger than 1930mAh (I mean bigger power-wise, not physically)?

hi, I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...52&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_4390wt_902
It doesn't state that it comes with a new battery door... were you able to fit your battery cover on your phone with your new BF6X batterY??
or does anyone else who purchased a similar item know?
You can fit the battery in under the stock cover
but if you live in a hot area there wont be room for the battery to expand and that could cause problems

A battery of that size and capacity won't expand than the thickness of a sheet of paper. If it expands noticablly, you'd be facing a serious risk of explodsion whether if you're using the extended back or not.

Yes, I purchased the Seidio 1500mAh off of ebay for $39.95 + 3.95 shipping, saved me a couple of bucks.
It has 11% more battery life than the original, I DO notice the difference I can enjoy killing that frantic "gotta get home and charge" feeling. It works WONDERS of a difference if you keep your phone on edge but I remain on 3G most of the time because im lazy to be switching a lot based on needs
I just bought a Phillips 1700mah battery from the bay for £7 inc fingers crossed its better than the shocking 1340mah factory battery.
Yes, let us know. I saw that on ebay and it is not Phillips, but a company called Phieips. I guess it is a Chinese company trying to mislead us into thinking it is Phillips. But it is cheap enough.
mugenbattery.com seems to be the only company in US. They have three different batteries for mytouch 3g.
I am not sure which one to get. I want to have as much power as possible but i am not sure how much bigger the phone will get with the extended battery. Very tempted to buy one tho.

Is there a battery available for the HD2 with greater capacity than the stock unit, that fits in the same battery slot? I'd like to upgrade without having to replace the back cover or use a bulky addon.
I purchased an Andida 1600mAh battery on eBay about two months ago. It has a six (6) month warranty, and fits my HD2 US version without any problems.
So far, I've been happy with it. It lasted through an entire round (4.5 hours) of golf yesterday powering the GolfLogix GPS application, and for me it routinely lasts several hours or more longer than the T-Mobile US stock battery.

Sorry, I can't provide a link. eBay only shows purchases won over the past 60 days, and I bought my battery prior to that. However, I did save the battery's packaging. The website for Andida is:

The ID number for my battery is: GB/T 18287-2000, if that helps.

Is 1600mAh the largest battery available without changing the back panel?
Screen shots of the "official" extended battery with the kickstand make it very unappealing. Before I switched out of my Dash, I bought a replacement battery at Radio Shack. Same size, but better specs - 1100 mAh instead of the stock 900 mAh. Nice improvement. Been checking RS online, nothing yet.

i also purchased the same andida battery from hong kong via ebay. increase in battery life was noticeable but not by that much. however, the battery is quite a steal in terms of pricing considering you need a backup or second battery.
I have a different perspective on these extended batteries: I actually prefer the one that adds to the overall device thickness! I have always been concerned about these very thin devices - you can easily crack the display. An extended battery gives the HD2 more robustness.

Eager to read your results with this one, just might be the battery I go with.
Only took 7 days to receive. Fits fine, works fine. After 2-3 charging cycles (as was stated on the eBay page), I'm clearly getting more charge time from this battery than the stock battery.
Plus, you get a nice little tin case
10 bucks, free shipping, you can't go wrong.

Like everything else they make it's probably not...
Is it true the samsung 1440mAh is better than the 1600mAH or even out stock batteries? I read that it was even though i dont see how it could be.
I doubt that the 1440 mAh is better than the 1750 mAh. I think I'll get this slim extended battery! It's as much as the regular OEM, which is I think the 1600 mAh. But I'm contemplating if the 3300 mAh (bulky but with backdoor) would be better considering the price is too much? http://www.mythoslife.com/2011/04/nexus-s-now-has-extended-battery.html. Then, again, if you're a power user then it might be worth it.
interesting...
Like stated before, it probably isn't 1750. They ramp up the number to get more sales and usually worse than the stock 1440mah.
I'd rather get the Seidio 1750 mAh slim extended battery. It'll probably last better compared to the one from eBay. http://mythoslife-store.blogspot.com/2011/05/looking-for-extended-slim-battery-for.html.
Seidio had the same battery up a few months ago and had it labeled as 1600mah.

Great, you'll never know what you buy these days on eBay. Did you say that Seidio is the same way? My perception of this company is that their products are hight quality.
I'm not saying seidio is the same way... when the nexus s was released they had the same exact battery and description but 1600mah. Now it looks like they bumped it. I don't want to knock it until I try it. I'm not sure who to trust...

My NS4G came with the Samsung 1440mAH battery. It lasts me all day even if I use it moderately. I am looking at buying an extra Samsung battery and a battery charger so I can have a charged spare battery for those heavy usage days.
2 the guy selling the 2 extra batteries and the charger, I may be interested. The only reason I haven't bought them from ebay yet is I don't want to wait all that time for shipping from China.

Increased mah doesn't always = larger battery. OEMs are notorious for skimping on batteries. Sure.there are limits in package size but OEMs rarely ever reach the full cell size. There's a reason Samsung has multiple mah batteries of the same outer packaging size. Hell, I have about 3 different nexus one batteries of different capacity that all fit with the standard backplate. The N1's battery drivers were written into some kernels and you can read (even alter) the battery controller's register values in real time.
Has any found a good source for spare batteries yet?
Always had good luck with the chinese knock offs.
While I'm on the subject, I wonder why HTC didn't just share batteries with the Sensation and Evo 3d????
<Removed>
I just did some searches on eBay for HTC Raider battery and found a bunch for sale. The model number of the battery is the same as the Vivid (I pulled out my battery and checked), so it should work fine. Pretty cheap too, they had some for like $15.98 for 3 batteries + wall charger.
I just ordered some batteries on amazon and it includes the charger. I would give you guys the link but im too new to submit links lol. Search this "Hyperion AT&T HTC Vivid 4G 2 x Battery + Charger" and you sohuld be able to find it!

I just bought anker batteries on ebay with a charger for about $31, they hold a charge to 1%.. about 2 weeks ago.
they are lasting much better than the samsungs. and buying Samsung batteries on ebay or amazon.. u might be getting these fake batteries that don't last..

The ones on Amazon are 99% fake knock offs which risk fire. Any story you have read online about a phone catching fire is usually either a result of a cheap knock off battery or adapter.
The only two places that have Note 4 batteries still are 100% legit.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-BN910BBUSTA
and the Best Buy kit I posted earlier in the thread. Anywhere else is questionable.
If a big box store gets them like B & H they will be legit too.
Amazon's inventory has been proven to be compromised. Several have posted online about their batteries even "shipped and sold by amazon" had been clones.
In case you didnt know this happens often on Amazon. The SD Card market and perfume market on Amazon even from Amazon is also like this.
I'm using the Zerolemon 10000mah battery, also if there is a Batteries+ they stock standard replacement batteries for most phones.

I would recommend the one from Anker, same capacity as OEM from a reputable brand that makes batteries. It also comes with 18 month warranty and a bit cheaper than OEM one. If you still want the OEM one make sure it is shipped and sold by Amazon.com and you should be fine.
I ordered 2 anker and a external charger on eBay for $35
I hope they're real.

1 battery can last me one day, sometimes down to 30 percent, depends on what I am doing, other times, down to 20 and under.. but it makes the day, then I swap and use the other, but only when it drains to 1 2 or 3...
they are better than all these knock off, I think I paid $31.. but they are better than all my old ones put together, wait till my wife come back from vacation, she will definitely take 1, then I will have 4 old batteries. then I have to test the old batteries and anything that shuts down from 20 or 15 percent is getting retired, junked out..
maybe I will have to buy another set to be happy..

I just Re-read your post, you did say that. Well I got (hopefully) the same thing, I think I paid $32 to be exact. Fingers crossed.
I'm waiting on these in the mail. I wonder if they will be good? Ebay item 201375415018 How would I tell if they are fakes?
I'm waiting for my anker package with 2 batteries and an external charger myself.
I read in another thread, they blame the quick charge 2.0 puck for damaging the batteries. Saying the increase voltage pushed to the battery for fast charging is what kills the life of the battery.
So my question is, those who have replaced Samsung with aftermarket batteries, are you still charging at night with the Samsung qc2.0? Or just using a 1amp or 2amp charger?
Help appreciated.
Mostly use the old 2A charger to prolong battery longevity. Need a quick boost? Adaptive fast charger or turbo charger from moto.
I unlocked your mum's bootloader.
Well I disabled fast charge option on the phone so it should be charging at a "normal" rate now and not the high voltage charging.
So far these anker batteries seem excellent, at least compared to my very degraded original samsung batteries. A deal for 2 Batts and a external charger Imho.
The more I use regular charging, my battery appears to improve and return to normal. All this only supports my reservation towards devices with sealed batteries.
