[Q] Do any other HTC batteries fit the US HD2?

Has anyone tried using HTC Desire HD batteries for their HD2? I just ordered these HD2 batteries that are 1350 mAh on an eBay store located in Brooklyn. They are 2 for $8, I figured worth a chance for only 8 bucks, but I'm still thinking 1350mAh still won't be enough. The HTC Desire HD batteries are 1500 mAh(or more) and almost look like they'd fit, but I'm unsure. Right now I'm running my HD2 on the Desire Z ROM that is rooted, I think it's made by Dandiest and Freak. This ROM is seriously the best out of the 3 I've tried. With it being rooted I was able to download the battery calibrator on the market and it has increased my battery life significantly. I'm still on the standard 1230mAh battery and I charged it to 100% and it lasted 13 hours before needing charged with mild usage. Any suggestions, or anyone know if the Desire HD batteries would fit and work?
Please Help

The Desire HD's battery has different dimensions. There's no way to fit in HD2. The DHD's battery is 54mm x 43mm x 5mm, the HD2's is 51,7mm x 46,0mm x 4,8mm
there is a hungarian web page : http://www.akkuk.hu/Akku-Kereses/
in this page you can search batteries for a lot of phones, type a model name in the "Keresési kulcsszó" textbox, and you can check the dimensions each of it...i would be surprised if you find an exact same dimension as HD2's battery

HD7/Wildfire S Share the same battery?

Ive been looking for extended batteries, and found one on play.com that mentions its also HTC Wildfire S compatible, does anyone know if this is the case?
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...archsource=0&searchstring=hd7&urlrefer=search
If it is, can we not use other extended batteries from the HTC Wildfire S? thus giving us more mAH?

I believe they are the same battery... I had someone at work get one and return it... I switched the battery before it went back when.
I only noticed they were the same when i was putting both my phone and the other one back together, I obviously keep hold of the newer one

I can confirm they are SIMILAR. I'm not sure about the same.
I bought a 3500mAh HD7 battery for my wildfire s and found that the battery contacts were on the wrong side, so I had to 'adjust' it to work
I now get 2 days VERY heavy use or 6 days standby/5 days light use.

I would be curious to know where you bought this battery.

A lot of eBay listings for HD7 batteries also state they're for Wildfire S too...

yes they share the same battery.

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.

[Q] HTC One M7 compatible batteries?

Hi everyone,
I've had my HTC One (M7) for a while now and I've noticed that the battery is slowly but steadily decreasing in strength/life. I know this is normal with any type battery, it doesn't retain its full capacity forever.
Anyway, I've been thinking about swapping out its battery, only I would like to put one in that has a greater capacity than the standard M7 one (2300 mAh). I've been thinking about something along 2800 mAh or so, which is what the M9 has, if I'm not mistaken. Would the M9 battery be compatible with the M7? Also, would batteries by any other manufacturer be compatible?

Greater capacity = bigger
Its not impossible but its hard to tell without having batteries and compares their size. If the replacement battery isn't the exact same size, it won't fit in the phone. If they have the same size then try it, as long as they are the same type battery and same nominal voltage. I remember someone successfully installed a One X+ battery in a One X (300 mAh gain). I wouldn't recommend to use other manufacturer batteries, only use original HTC parts.

Have you seen what is involved in getting to the battery anyway? (Hint: It's under the motherboard)
It is doable with a standard battery but you need to get a battery and a replacement back cover at the same time because your old cover will never be the same. Also be prepared for any number of problems because these are not easy to get right.
As far as a non-stock battery goes the stock battery leaves some empty space in its cover and an M8 battery might fit, bearing in mind that the M8 is a physically bigger phone .
To be honest I'd get a new M8 and sell the M7 rather than replace the stock battery, but if you must replace it have a professional do it.

Yes its not an easy task for everyone but many members did replace the battery successfully with the help of the "i-fixit" guide. Still much cheaper than buying a M8 (400$) even if you replace the cover assy. (12$ for the battery, 15$ for a new back cover). Worth trying before buying a new phone. Local repair shops can also replace the battery for much less (around 100$ parts + labour) than what a M8 or even a M7 cost.

Hi to all
someone have been able to replace the battery with the M8 battery?

Is the M8S battery compatible with the M8?

I still love my M8, and given that AT&T seems to have completely dropped HTC, I'm thinking of keeping it a while longer. However, the battery is beginning to flag, and I've contemplated attempting a replacement. However, I noticed that the M8S and M9 have very similar looking batteries, but with a slightly larger capacity (2840mAh vs 2600mAh). I'm wondering if the M8 can use this larger battery, given how similar they appear.
Has anyone tried it?
Also, has anyone tried the BinTek batteries? They appear to be "new" batteries, as opposed to the OEM batteries that are often as old or older than the original.
Thanks!

I will try to fit new m9 battery in my M8 tomorrow...

So how did it go?
Thinking of changing my old battery too and I'm curious if anything other than original will do and if m8 can even use the additional mAh.

Yes I did it. It is a same battery with more mAh. Working great

Amazing. Apps that display battery info still show 2600mah though, right?

Yes still 2600mAh in apps...

Awesome I will definitely be trying this on my M8.
Assuming I can find a seller who has reasonable shipping. E-trade is the only site I can find with M9 batteries, and they are quoting $60 shipping for a $7 battery!

Here I bought my batt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121970774107?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

And what do you think about a HTC 10 battery can be compatible with the HTC m8???

Yes !!! M8S battery is compatible with the M8

Qoestion about m8 battery
