2600mah battery

what do you guys think about this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-EXTENDED-BA...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a5c1f18ce

don't know that I'd buy it. especially coming from hong kong it's probably pretty terrible qualitywise, but I like that battery cover better than the actualy HTC extended battery cover.

Well, as nice as it would be to have nearly twice the power, it looks like it would make the phone monstrously thick. I may like my women curvy, but I like my phone thin.
I'd also be a bit concerned that the recess for the camera lens and flash will interfere with picture quality, causing "barrel" shadow as well as limiting flash light splash.

Agreed...looks pretty chunky to me...jc

I think I may be picking this one up... I like hong kong stuff

has anyone picked this up yet? any reviews?

It has gotten some positive reviews over at androidforums. It probably won't last more than a few months until it stops holding its charge, but for $14 its worth a shot. Another seller is selling two batteries, the cover, and an external charger for $22, so even if both batteries fail, I figure I at least won't have to do anymore bump charging.

I bought a battery from China one time for my blackberry and it worked well for like a week but it didn't carry a charge to well then I leave it one nite fully charged and I wake up its dead.... and it happens every single time...
I BOUGHT IT AGAIN AND SAME PROBLEM...
DON'T BUY BATTERYS FROM CHINA

I just got mine yesterday, a 2700mah for $15.
So far I've left it running for 10 hours with light usage, and it is still at 80%. Very impressive. Seems to be lasting longer than my 2150 official HTC battery as well. Absolutely worth $15 with the back case.
I'm undervolted and overclocked on a rooted dinc, with a sleep profile in setcpu.

bhazard, mind linking us to the one you bought? some people are saying the batteries work okay in the first few days, then die after a week or so. can you comment on this?

Still working good after a week. Battery lasts a little longer than the official 2150. It is most likely 2300mah but still a great deal so far for the price.

any problems with using the LED flash on the camera since the new battery backing is so large?

I just got mine in the mail today. Got the 2600mah version. Gotta say this thing is just enormous. I checked on the flash and it didn't seem to be interfered with by the camera recession. But seriously... very thick.

Just a thought...
So instead of getting a 2600 that makes your phone overly huge, why not get the 2-1800MAH batteries with the separate charger they have on ebay? The batteries are for the EVO 4G, but at least you know they will last over a month and for two 1800 MAH batteries and the charger, it is only $24.95
Also, the 2600MAH one on some auctions on ebay are 11.95 with free shipping...so better than $16.00, I guess it's worth a shot if you want a huge a$$ phone!

It really isn't all that big, especially with the HTC back on it. It only slightly protrudes out of the silicone case that I cut to put it in, and after several weeks has held its charge better than the 2150 battery I have (same physical size). It lasts about 30 min to an hour longer. Very impressive for a $15 battery.

Is the battery the same size as the 2150 htc one bhaz? Just curious cause the phone does look huge with my 2600 hk battery and back. Considering the htc 2150 if its more stylish.

I got the battery on Saturday, I bought the 2600 MaH battery for 11.00 w/ free shipping. When the battery arrived, it actually said 300MaH. The first 4 days, the battery was amazing. I would unplug my phone at 8A and when I went to charge it overnightI would still have 30% left. My stock battery would need to be plugged in by 5P or it would die on me. The new battery I thought was great but after the 4th day, I noticed that the battery started draining quicker and quicker. It's 2:30P and my battery is at 40% already and it's just been sitting on my desk at work. I guess I got what I paid for. I contacted the seller and I'm waiting for a response from him. I might buy the HTC 2150 battery as that worked really well. I figured I could still use the Back cover that came with the ebay battery but use the better battery.

Just got my supposed 2700, yes, 2700, from a seller in usa for 25 bucks. We'll see how it lasts.

A few weeks ago, I bought a 2600 that had the fat door on it with speaker holes. On average for the first four days, the battery lasted a few hours longer than the 1750 Seidio and about 2X the 1300 stock.
About the fifth day in, the battery started declining in life and now lasts in between the stock and Seidio (more than stock, less than Seidio). Weird thing is the trend down has stopped and it remains a little weaker than the Seidio.
I expected the life to trend down "soon", but not days- I expected a few months of good use. Not even $13 worth use, now that I went back to the longer lasting 1750 Seidio. Fat door Inc would be fine, IF the battery lasts longer. Not in this case.

Bigger batteries.. is it really worth it?

I've really wanted to get a bigger battery, not necessarily a bigger phone. I was looking up videos on youtube, and I found a guy who actually bought one of those verizon silicon cases and used that instead of having a new backing for his phone because the battery was so much bigger. Do you guys really find not having to charge your phone for 20-30 hours worth the extra cover and stuff? I'm sure it's not an option for everyone, but why bother with that if you can just charge it sometime in between? Car chargers are cheap, and there should be some time of sleep between 20-30 hours of you using your phone (you know, where you could be charging it). Also, what is the biggest battery you can get without requiring an extra case?

The 2150 mah battery is perfect for me. The new back protects the camera lense and the leds. I have also noticed that I can hold the phone by the extended back and it feels more comfortable then before.It doesn't add that much weight and the phone is still pretty slim. Obviously I also get improved battery life as well.

I have been using the 1750 battery and it improved my battery life from 6-8 hours to 9-12ish, which is perfect for me. I just needed to make it through the work day and the regular size works for me.
I couldn't go to a bigger battery, since I have a case that works for me and I don't want to change.

My 2 cents... I have the 2150. I still go through it once or sometimes twice a day. I dont like the way it feels in my front pocket and the fact there isn't much at all if any accessories that will fit it. I just ordered (4) 1500mah batteries and 2 charges off of eBay for a whopping $20. shipped. I can use the 2150 when I am out and not near a charger or just sell it and carry extra 1500's if needed.

At that price, it sounds like you bought some off-brand garbage. While I hope that's not the case, could you please confirm/deny? What brand are these batteries?

I need the extra battery...was out today using the stock one and was dead after 5 hours (3 hours I was using My Tracks on my run). I don't care about accessories, I just need it to not run out of charge.

I find the extra ummph in the 2150 battery to be worth the lil bulge in the back....modded a silicon case with a cutout to let the excess...works pretty well and couldnt be happier...the only downfall i found so far is the charge time is nearly 4 hrs from a completely dead battery...never really timed it but it takes a while, but worth it.

I'm not sure which one he's using, but I'm using the Seido 1750. My battery life is...decent, I guess. If I bump charge. After reading so many threads on battery life for Android phones and, specifically, HTC Android phones, I'm left wondering a few things:
1. Since HTC seems to have issues charging batteries fully...if we're wiping Battery Stats appropriately (assuming you are rooted), does the phone actually "register" that it's got such a large battery to charge? Or is the phone so stupid that it stops charging it at a 1500's capacity?
2. When apps sync their data, is Android OS smart enough to have them sync at the same time? Or, does my 30 minute Facebook sync occur 10 minutes after my 30 minute Twitter sync, etc.?

New to the forums guys, it was a round-about way I got my Incredible, extended battery, and seidio battery but here is my opinion on this. If you're not gonna use it heavily throughout the day then you can get away with the 1500/1750 batteries. But if you think you're gonna get some solid use out of the phone for a day, you don't want to have to charge it throughout the day, or you don't want to have to rush home and charge it before you go out then you should get an extended battery. Using both over the past week to see which one I want to stick with, the extended is just more convienient since I don't have to think about how much battery i'm at and remember to put it on a charger.
There is a guy on here who modified his case to accommodate the 2150 battery and after seeing that I think that's what i'm gonna do. If you can get the extended cheap then definitely go for it, its just more freedom in my opinion.

Why do you want to go to an Incredible? I thought the X was a better device. Just too big? I have yet to see an Evo or X so I have know idea how big these things are.

did you get lost? your in the Incredible section of the forum, so there will bee a predominant amount of Dinc users here.
And I'd rather have an Incredible over that piece of Moto anyday

I recently bought a 2700mAh extended battery. I don't mind the extra thickness, it allows me to get a better grip on it. As for battery life its great. With the stock battery I could barely make it through 8hours at work. With the new battery I have made it 10hours and counting. I have had GPS, Sync, WiFi, and max screen brightness on all day and only at 73%. Made a few phone calls, and a few Twitter updates. Was worth it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

No I didn't get lost. I was just curious what he did not like about the X. I would rather have an X but HTC phones are much easier to hack. A Dinc hacked on to Sprint Sero is hard to say no too. I would have done an Evo but used prices on an EVO are still ridiculous and I'm waiting for HTC sort out it's display issues.
Back to the topic at hand. I'm liking my Seidio 1750. With some tweaks I'm getting better battery life then my 3GS got. I make it through a whole day of moderate usage (some web, some streaming and 5-10 calls) and still have 20% at bed time. So I'm quite happy. Someone did point out a thread on Android Central. I won't return the battery but it did dampen my spirits a little.
http://androidforums.com/accessories-incredible/119578-battery-testing-results.html

I have had the 3500, for a week. Lasts 2x the 1750 (have one) and the door design is more rugged and protects the lens well.
Worthy purchase.

I had the HTC 2150mah and returned it. I just couldn't live with the bulk.

I bought both 1750 and 2150 from HTC Pedia. They are both HTC BRAND batteries. They both work well and add work time to my INCREDIBLE. Don't buy anything but brand and you will be happy! I found HTC PEDIA to be the best place to buy accessories for my phone!

[Q] Galilio batteries (cheap batteries from china)

Hello all, I just got a droid incredible and I'm super disappointed with the battery life, I had a moto droid and got this phone as a replacement, the battery drains sooooo quickly its pretty ridiculous, HTC could've easily popped in a 1500 mah battery for us. Well anyways, I was looking for a replacement battery for the inc.
Paying 50 dollars for a battery is unacceptable in my eyes, I just want to use the standard case but have a little extra boost.
I found these on ebay:
cgi.ebay.com/High-Quality-Battery-Sprint-HTC-Evo-4G-1800mAh-x2-/250660990012?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a5c8f2c3c#ht_3148wt_807
wondering if anyone has tried them out? you can buy one for 7 bucks so I think it's a good deal just to try them out for awhile and see if they perform well. I'll be ordering some soon and post my results.
Anyone else thinking about these batteries or already purchased one?

Any cheap battery from china always dies super fast after a couple of weeks .....i know because I bought like 7 batteries from china and they all sucked. The ones for my incredible die in an hour of playing with it and my blackberry storm battery wouldn't even stay on the night I left it off the charger... ..don't but batteries from china......

just remember you get what you paid for. generally cheap batteries from overseas might last you a week maybe less. like the post before mine. id hafta agree 100% with him. those batteries are that cheap for a reason. get a quaility battery that works with the phone. their are many posts on here in reguards to what batteries work and what dont. take a look around.

I second this - not for phones, but we bought some super cheap chinese batteries off amazon for our canon camera. THey lose their charge in less than a week of non-use. Basically useless for backup batteries.

Oh awesome thanks for the replies, maybe ill just get the seidio 1750 then or the HTC 1500. Thanks again

I have one of those, and routinely get 4-5 hours of active use out of it. 18 up/5 awake just yesterday.
Also remember to charge the battery while the phone is OFF for maximum charge, if you plan to use it to full capacity.

Yeah I get about 24 up and 10 awake but I'm using an underclocked setcpu profile. And I normally leave 3g on, play games, tons of texts and always on the web.

I have one of those 3000mah batterys from ebay, like 12 shipped. The rear case turns the incredible from a phone into a phone/hockey puck hybrid. Its awesome. I get amazing battery life. With mild usage, ive gone 52 hours on a single charge (bump charged). Yesterday, i spoke on the phone for ~2 hours, played mp3s on the phone connected to a sound system for ~4 hours, plus lots of text, LOTS of playing Angry Birds, uploading pictures to flickr and more, and when i got home i had 62% still. Love it.

Avoid the Seidio 1750 battery. Someone on Android Central did a discharge test of the HTC 1500 and the Seidio battery and the results came back almost identical. Seidio claims their battery gets better after a few charges but if both use the same chemistry then so will the HTC 1500. I'm not saying that the Seidio is a bad battery just saying its over priced. Just look for an OEM Touchpro2 1500mah battery.
FYI: I bought a Seidio battery before I read the thread. I'm not upset just next time I will do more research before being from them again.

I bought the HTC OEM 1500. They're available on eBay and Amazon for $15 or less available in red and black =P so far its a lot better than the 1300. Good info in the forum

I think it's hit and miss with Chinese-made batteries...
For example, last year I bought four Chinese generic li-ion batteries for my Canon DSLR. When I moved, I misplaced two of the batteries. I found them about two months ago and they still had three out of three bars of charge (could be anywhere from 100%-67% charge, not sure). But that was not bad, I thought, for sitting idle, off the charger, for eight months.
I also picked up a generic 9-cell battery for my Dell XPS last year. $20. It still, a year later, can run the laptop for a good four hours or so. Solid battery.
But, I've seen evidence on this site and others about Chinese manufacturing of counterfeit batteries and memory cards and other devices that will give me reason to think twice in the future... The gent at http://batteryboss.org/ will open your eyes pretty quickly. There are even photos of batteries with their plastic casing, which states 1500mah, only having an 1100mah cell. Ridiculous.

i bought an OEM HTC EVO 1500mah off ebay, there are a bunch now....i paid 16 bucks...

Extended slim battery

So I have read through all the old threads about the extended batteries people have tried. Unfortunately most of the threads are almost a year old. If you have purchased an extended battery, what have been your results over the long run. Since I will be keeping my Shift for a long time, maybe it is time to try a new battery. Yes I am rooted and running Supreme, but with the amount of calls and emails I do daily, I can chew through a battery in 6 hours some days. Thanks for any input.

I bought a few a while back that so far have been great. I'll try and remember, or find out who I bought them from. I do remember it was off Amazon.
EDIT: But I do remember seeing that the 3500mah Batts have come down a lot in price.

I got a chichitec evo replacement battery from htcexpress.com (fits the shift, just "backwards" ... supposedly 1900 mAh) and it lasts pretty well for me. With light usage i can go about a day and a half or so on a charge. Heavy usage i get closer to 10-12 hours or so. Been working for me. I don't have any experience with the 3500 mAh batteries that need the replacement battery door though.

Yes the 3500mah Batteries need a different door. But I've run across them as cheap as $13 with the door included, and shipped. For that price I'm might give it a shot.
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11

The only reason I haven't gone the 3500 mAh route is that I've already bought a case and holster and I'd like to keep using what I have. I also typically get at least 14 hours or so per charge off of my current settings/usage so I don't see the need for the extra bulk.
Worst case scenario, I have another battery that I got the same time, along with the cradle charger and my stock Shift battery so a little battery swapping and I'm good as new. Speaking of which, I might give my current battery a rest ...

I bought a 2400mAh 8.9Wh 3.7v battery from radio shack with these results:
I'm currently running SS9.2.1, overclocked to 1.5/245 w/ performance governor and I/O scheduler noop. With HEAVY use it will stay above 30% at 5:00 pm, I generally unplug it around 8 am.
If I turn the OC down to default of 800/245 it will normally stay above 50% by 8:00 at night. 90% of my phone use is between 8:30 and 5:00.
What drains mine the most if wifi tether.

Do you have a link to the battery?

The only one I could find on the Radio Shack website that matched your description is THIS ONE. Since the HTC Incredible and the EVO Shift use the same battery. I'm assuming that is the one your talking about. It looks a little thick, does it actually fit under your Stock Back Cover?

Same with the regular EVO 4G, Touch Pro2, Hero and MyTouch Slide (just FYI). I know the regular EVO 4G battery fits, but it's like backwards and upside down, so the label is facing the opposite direction. Contacts line up, same physical size and all that ...
EDIT: Because of the battery orientation, only slim/stock sized EVO 4G batteries will fit the Shift, obviously. Just wanted to make that correction.

Yes very true, and good to remember. But I was checking out the battery in the link. It's already in the correct orientation. What I'm wondering about is the actual thickness of the battery. I might stop into a Radio Shack by me to see if they have one, or can get one. So I can see it first hand.

It is not a slim battery, it works for the evo or the shift depending on how its installed. Its made by Digital Energy.
Edit: its twice as thick as the standard bat and it came with 2 new back covers, one that will fit the evo and another for the shift. I had the hard case protector from sprint but now the back does not fit on it but if you leave the front cover on it will still lock in the belt holster. I will try and remimber to take a picture with my tablet or wifes phone and upload it latter.

Best Extended Battery For LTE?

I am looking for a replacement for the stock battery. Since we got LTE in our area my battery is having a hard time keeping up. I used to be able to go from awake to bed on a charge but now by evening I have to be on the charger.
I've seen a few posts here about specific extended batteries but wanted to ask people that had any experience with any to reply.
My criteria is needs to work, needs to not ruin the form factor of the phone, and needs to be in the $30-40 range.
I also want a pony.
Thanks!

I hear ya on LTE draining the battery. Me personally I couldn't find an extended battery I like, and if you get one good look with cases that fit. So I got an Anker Slim Talk power bank, basically a slim external battery with a retractable mini usb plug that fits our phone. basically what you get a is a charger that will fit in your pocket, and its 3200mah, just a tad shy of twice as much juice as the stock HTC battery. I typically will plug it in when I know I'm doing something battery intensive, or when I'm working and can't use my phone much anyway. Only drawback of it, is the built in flash light on it, which is pretty easy to trigger and get your pocket glowing lol. I'd like it better without the flashlight but otherwise its the best solution to this phone, since HTC put way too small of a stock battery and didn't make a native extended battery kit for it. here's a link

I was going to also reccomend the anker external charger with 2 1550 mah batteries but it looks like its no longer available for our phones I use that too for times I just want an instant refill and don't feel like waiting on the external to charge up the phone.

I reccommend the acesoft 3850 its amazing
