Hello all as everyone know the stock HD2 battery has a horrible life. As I have been looking for a replacement and seen alot of threads here trying to find a nice battery so I came to ask few things I want to be clear about so post away if you can help.
1) I want normal size battery that is not extended battery as it fits in the original cover for TMoUS HD2.
2) I want the highest possible mAh that fits in the original case, which is what 1500-1600 mAh? if anyone know any other let me know.
3) I seen alot name these 3 companies Andidas, Galilios, Mugen. So name them which is better.
Keep in mind that to me money is not an option as I am welling to spend whatever long as it meets my requirement as I want quality and durability also don't want it to blow up as safety is also a concern, thanks looking for good product review and advice.
Anyone? any take on this? thanks.
i m interest with this too
Well I took HD2 of charge at 8AM when I was getting ready for work and now its 3:46PM and I am at 63% battery power. So I need a real solution as I use my phone for work, hope someone who tested other battery can respond as I need it urgent.

Have you been using the phone? If so, this is not bad! You only lost 37% battery for almost a whole day of work!
And you will not find a battery that fits like the original one, and has more capacity.
Just buy a second one, charge it, and take it along...
Thanks for your reply man but are you sure? As I seen in this very forum battery that is 1300 mAh and I'm not talking about bulky extended battery packs. Also carrying around two battery and changing it is not an option. Also that's like only 6-7hours and already that low ATM I have to keep my charger with me at work fearing that ill lose battery power as it happend once. I can Google some results but ill take feedbacks from user here any day as they tested it and used it thus they can compare it and it would have a fare product review.

dude if you can get your phone to mid after noon with more than 60% charge, you really shouldn't be complaining lol....
Its 8:30PM EST here and i am at 34% as device has uptime of 47hours and connected to 3g tmobile network for 36hours. I need 1500-1700 mAh but i seen 1300 on this forum as they say its same size.
The best battery you can get is a momax 1100 mah yes the mah is less than stock. But the reports are very good and it should go longer then the stock. It will give you about 20% extra. There are no good 1500 mah or more batteries. For example HyperNode would get with that momax battery instead of 34% 49 or 52 something like that.

The higher the mAh number, the longer a battery will last.
If your phone needs 1000 milliamps(1.0Ah) to work, a 1000mAh battery will last 1 hour continued use, if the phone needs 500mAh it will last for 2 hours and so on.
So going from standard 1230mAh to 1500mAh will not give that much more battery life.
Easier to carry a charged spare standard size battery if going to be away from charger for a long time.
I've also taken a different 'strategy' Charge all time (in car with Navi and BT anyhow) and use cheap secondary batteries (as with this charging strategy they wont last too long)
Apart form the Ah of a battery, it makes a huge difference in how the battery is engineered. It is indeed possible that a lower Ah battery provides more rela life power....

Jan thanks for that useful reply as ill look in to the product. But is there any battery that you know from same company with higher mAh? From what you said this is better than stock one and lower mAh yet better performance due to higher quality.
So ATM two candidates for possible same stock size battery.
1) Momax 1100 mAh
2) Mugen 1300 mAh
I hope people who used any or both can compare it with stock battery and post the finding here so others like me can make easy decision and order it.

so which battery u got in the end and how good was it?
has anyone found a way to get the hd2 to properly show the battery percent of extended batteries? i have a 2400mah battery and i have to remove the battery and put it back in to get it to show the rest of the battery life when it is almost dead. Its quite annoyin.
Could you give some more information, eg: What ROM, RADIO version you use. And if you use Android, what Android version and kernel.
Also, Use the search function, since there have been a lot of "extended battery not showing right percentage" threads in the HD2 Android Q&A section.

Im using dusk rom with radio 2.10.50.26.
the battery is a cameron sino 2400mah extended battery. Im pretty sure it isnt one of those double batteried made into one. Is there a newer radio update that gives extended battery support that i need?

I dont know, but I have a 2400 mAh battery and it shows the exact percentage .. though I'm using energy ROM . Try to change your rom, maybe its the reason
the problem is your battery! get the original extended battery. also the 2300mah battery from the company "leicke" is working for me. i had a cheap 2400mah chinese battery before and had the same problem.
the thing is, that these chinese batterys are faking, they are normal ones because the driver of the hd2 origininally didnt support bigger batterys in the first roms.
the chinese batterys are out of date and also the capacity is mostly a giant fake!
my battery did cost 21 euro incl shipping and is working correctly.
dont try to fix the problem with hints and tricks or calibrations, it will NOT work with the cheap batterys! i already tested it.
your device is ok, throw away your extended battery or keep it as emergency replacement.
If you have the one from ebay that costed around 13.72 USD
then do this
1.) Charge 100% + 2-4 hours more if possible
2.) Drain battery completely to switch over to second battery
3.) Charge second battery 100% + 2-4 hours more if possible
4.) Drain battery completely
5.) Repeat steps 1-4 once more and your battery should function as expected
Worked For me.
Yes i still have to change battery but i have 2days at first part then remove move in and another 1,5 day is here so its good
the forum here is full with problems of people who did get a cheap chinese battery from ebay or somewhere else, that is not recognized by their htc hd2 and is discharging at the rate of the shipped original small battery.
also the forum is full with "solutions" that are NOT WORKING that WILL NEVER WORK.
this is the reason for this thread to give the people the one and only answer to fix their problem!
first of all, be sure to have the newest firmware to have the extended battery driver.
but this will only solve charging problems if you got one of the first shipped firmwares.
after that get the ORIGINAL EXTENDED BATTERY. also the 2300mah battery from the company "leicke" is working for me. (looks identical to the original extended battery, maybe its the same)
this batteries will be recognized correctly and will discharge in the right speed!
--- got a chinese "noname" battery? ---
your battery is crap like most other extended batterys for hd2. get another one, but continue reading the rest of this thread before!
i had a cheap 2400mah chinese battery before and had the same problem.
the thing is, that these chinese batteries are faking, they are normal ones because the driver of the hd2 origininally didnt support bigger batterys in the first roms.
the chinese batterys are out of date (they only added a kickstandcover) and also the capacity is mostly a giant fake!
i disassembled my chinese cameron sino battery and here is the result: its made of 2 small batteries pakaged in one frame and controlled with one chip that is sending fakedata to the phone, also the temperature is recognized wrong because it doesn't really have a sensor! it always shows 25,X°C all the time. like i said: totally faked data
tip but not a solution: if you discharge your chinese battery to 0%, remove it and put it back into the device, you should have 50% again, but thats no calibration because a calibration of this batteries is not possible!
my "leicke" battery did cost 21 euro incl shipping and is working correctly, also the high quality cover with metal-kickstand is fitting perfectly, not like the chinese ones that never fits!
dont try to fix the problem with hints and tricks or calibrations, it will NOT AND NEVER work with the cheap crappy chinese batteries! i already tested it!
i hope this thread is helping the most people with their cheap-battery-problems.
thanks for reading
Cheers for the info,,,, really was dissapointed with the cheapo one i got the other day..... Could you provide a link for the leicke battery?
~Many thanks in advance....

How long does the Leicke battery last by you ?? By me not too long , just a littel more than the original -.-
for me it lasts with wlan on and permanent internet using ca 10-12 hours (and still is not empty). in standby-mode many days and maybe weeks with windows mobile. (under 5-10% draining a day with phone on)
it lasts nearly the double time of the original battery. i can tell you, that the 2300mah are the real capacity and how long your battery lasts depends on your systemsettings, phoneusage etc.
i use battclock to control the current powerdraining. with wlan on it is ca 140-300mah but mostly a little bit under 200mah. so you can calculate yourself how long the battery lasts until it is empty
I'm using the licked battery too and can confirm that it works correctly with the hd2. With current android builds the battery last for 3 days with moderate use. If you can live with the bulky shape, the leicke is definitely a great alternative to the official HTC extended battery. Cover and stand are also quite ok, aluminium cover would be nicer but can surely not be expected at such a low price.

I use the cheap China batterry 2400hr
I bought off ebay for $14.00 US shipped and it works perfectly. The back cover fits like it was made for it. Snaps on cleanly and has never come off or stick up on the edges. The battery charges with Android and WinnMo to 100% and lasts for days. Most of your charging problems may be your rom or radio version. There are probably multiple makers in China so some may be better than others. My Cheap China works works okydoky!
can you share the companyname and capacity of your battery? many people are interested in that
Here is the current link.
It has gone up a little bit. Just bid on it to get the cheaper price. There are several in his store. I got mine several months ago. Just buy a cheap silicone case and cut a hole for the cover to stick through on the back. Works good and looks fine. Only HD2 snobs will know any difference!
http://cgi.ebay.com/2400mAh-Extende...211159?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf386c897
Just bought the Leicke too.
Unfortunately it does not charge at all in WinMO
I use an NRG rom.
It seemed to work in Android but it went really fast downhill at 50% at 7% or so it was at 3.9 Volts which is rather high to be at that %.
maybe your rom don't support extended batterys. try another one like the oem rom from htc and test it.
the first roms didn't charge real extended batterys.
and you need the right android kernel for extended batterys because many kernels are buggy,
i use the kernel of froyo sense 2.4 and its working perfectly
Which WinMo rom are you using Schildzilla?
i am using a german rom called "EPS V5" - it is only a little tweaked oem rom with the newest drivers
thanx a lot.. i'm gonna update the kernel
Its nothing to do with the battery , its the android os and he kernel which is main cause of the battery not getting detected where the manufacturers are putting in the code which only detects the stock battery and thus your extended battery reports and drains like the normal battery.
I have a mugen 4800 for my dell streak and because of dell's coding my battery is not getting detected on froyo and on gingerbread, however it is getting detected properly on android 1.5 and 1.6 so its nothing to do with the battery. I agree to your point regarding the kernels having the extended battery support and that is the main cause for this reporting error.
Thanks! Great info mate
Leicke Extended battery only charges when switched off
I've just bought the extended Leicke battery (from Amazon @ £15.)
When plugged into either my laptop or to the mains adapter I get orange and green alternating blinking lights and it doesn't charge. When the phone is off, the light is constant orange and charges.
I have the standard WWE ROM 3.14.405.2 and have just reapplied the same ROM in case I've done something to cause the problem.
This FAQ seems to confirm that the battery won't charge when the HD2 is on as a result of something that HTC have put into the Kernel to try and make sure that we only buy HTC branded batteries. It seems that I will need to go to a custom version, although I may just leave it off over night when charging.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
Got an HTC extended battery. Not recognized by my hd2 running Pdaimatejam WP7 ROM Ver-7.1. I have read though many threads on XDA, but no solution !
After charging in magldr mode for 10 hrs it shows only 55 %. And the battery tool by HTC only shows capacity as 1230 , while the actual capacity is 2300.
Can any one guide me to a wp7 rom which will recognize the extended battery.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I would also need some help, the "stock" MIUI ROM doesn´t recognize the Leicke extended Battery...
Could someone please help me with all this Kernel stuff etc. I´ve read a lot but I don´t know what special Kernel is compatible with what ROM...
EDIT: Is it an alternative to just buy an externel battery dock so that you could just switch the battery if it´s empty?
So, I haven't looked for extended batteries in a while, Andida 1600mah only seems to be only as good as the OEM
Has anyone tried

Are they better or the relatively the same?

When you see it from China, consider it FAKE.
i've got the second one. i don't know if it's true that have 1600mah but for sure have more long lasting than the original

The fine print on the second one is exactly the same numbers as on my Andida battery.
Thanks guys... I don't understand why no manufacture can produce a slim extended battery. It would make the HD2 so kick ass
Is the Andida 1600mah battery actually thicker than the default battery? Seing some ebay photos it seems to me that they are the same size and there's no need for extended back cover for the 1600 batt. Anyone can confirm this?
Its not 1600 mAh. Maximum it has is 1300... Most users reported it to be of less capacity than standard one.

It is the same size, but my HD2 shows about 1230 mA when fully charged. Still, a decent price for a replacement battery.

You mean with a meter or something? My tbattery program indicates they are 12296 at full charge.
I have the 1600 mah battery and it is more powerful then the original u have to condition it first or you wont get the right amount of power after about 4 charges on it and then I had to charge the original 2 to 3 times a day but with this 1600 once a day and thats using wifi and other apps
Can you tell us how many mV you get at full charge?

Thinking about to buy it.
( Replace the ** , cant post Links under eight posts.
Mmm, if you want to go with big capacity & extended cover try finding original HTC extended battery & cover on a promotional offer.
Almost all of these extended batteries from China are junk with data chip sending false battery MaH data & many close to stated capacity batteries don't allow HD2 to utilise it without soft reset.
personally I went for a USB charge pack working from 4AA batteries, I loaded 4 UniRoss 2100MaH hybrio AA cells & it works great.
size is 68mmX63mmX18mm so easily to slip in a pocket or bag.
I get 2.5 charges from it, have total control over cell quality & MaH rating & it cost me less than $13 including new AA hybrio cells.
Just another option to consider perhaps.
I know a good store that sell many extended batteries for HTC, But now i cant send the link , forum cant accept that. if you are interested, send me the message.
Just type link address without www or replace a w with an asterix. Users can figure it out easily enough & copy/paste then correct address in browser bar.

I have gotten good service out of the Andida batteries. They advertise 1600, but they are actually the same output as the OEM batteries. But they are inexpensive. Some people have reported very low output from them, but that has not been my experience. Just don't expect 1600!

Question
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 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 unplugged it at 8:49 AM and it's now 8:28 PM(I'm in Germany) and it has 40% battery. This is just mild usage though. Any suggestions, or anyone know if the Desire HD batteries would fit and work?
Please Help
Yes. There have been a lot of threats, but never a really clear answer.
I have my HD2 like 1,5 year. In this time I never replaced my battery and I think my battery is now dying.
So the big question.
What is the 'best' battery for hd2?
And what is the 'best' extended battery for hd2?
Should I buy mugen, or HTC official batteries (or maybe an other brand)?
And will my battery be compatible with hd2 and custom android roms?
I don't know why there isn't big sticky threat/guide what battery you should buy. Because there are a lot of questions, and not very much concrete answers.
Thanx you.
HTC Official Extended Battery
In my opinion, the best extended battery for the HD2 is the official HTC extended battery. It's the only extended battery that's supported by the developers who make custom ROMs for the HD2. All the other extended batteries will give inaccurate readings with these custom ROMs. I've made a thread about obtaining a rugged case for the HD2 with the extended battery. In this thread, I've listed a couple of links where you can obtain the battery. Have a look.

I don't like the idea of a rugged case that is made for a other cellphone.
I think it's ok to just have a extended battery and not an extra case
Just official extended battery is the best so?
And how about the best (non-extended) battery?

I'd suggest this one. It's the one I have, and it's been great with every Android ROM I've used [Sense, MIUI V3 and V4, Cyanogen]. I get the advertised 2 1/2 days of battery life [ on Gingerbread at least, it drops a little on ICS but it is still good with my usage, which includes lots of browsing, Twitter, music, and tethering].

to much fat!
there isn't a version that isn't so much fat? i don't want a brick for phone!
For extended Batteries if we consider aftermarket manufacturers, i can suggest you Mugen Power brand, most positive extended battery reviews so far.
1500mAh fits the original case: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...585-1500mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
2600mAh with extra backdoor: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...ed-replacement-battery-with-battery-door.html
hope this will also help for the reference
what I'm using is:
- simply a second original one which I can put into my briefcase and have it with me nearly all the time (pro: the phone still fits into any holder, case, etc., CON: same little power...)
- the "big" one with the extension cover. I use it when walking around with a rucksack where I don't need a holder.
- and then I have an external batteryback (Mobile Power Pack VT-PP-320) which has to be connected through USB. But this has 5000mAh. I use it at home or in the hotel, or anywhere else. OR I take it with me and load the battery of th phone while making a break for example.
My experience with all of these solutions are good - depending on where I use them..
Wolf
I have always two stock batteries when I'm not at home.
Travelling around for more than 30 hours I have some external battery (LiFePo4 with 9200mAh), which is good for 5 times charging the battery.
But I would like to have just one big battery fullfilling all my needs.
