Im sorry guys i ment to post this in Q&A i thought i was in that section my fault

I use the platinum 2x 3500 and it is the best thing. Battery is amazing. Never need to carry a charger. I charge every night and easily goes all day under medium to heavy use. I think my best has been 7 hour screen on time and 20 hours on 3g before I plugged it in. On wifi all weekend it does 40+ hours

I have a ns4g. I think seidio sells a specific 3500 for the ns but I am unsure. I don't think the back plate is too chunky on this. There are some butt ugly ones. This isn't. Can't argue w capacity anyways.

I paid......$5.98 on eBay shipped. Random bid, no one else put a bid on it. Got lucky! Most are around $25 for the platinum 2x extended.

They sell the battery and back plate in best buy for I think around 70$.
I've traveled to 4 different best buys here in the Philadelphia area and they only had the 4G version.

First day of use, supposedly it'll get a lot better after a few days of charging/discharging. Used very heavily normally would be dead hours ago, but not as much battery as my old power skin gave me when it worked...

What was your screen on time. The stock battery would get me 2 1/2 - 3 hours screen on time and around 15 hours. 9 were 3g only and rest around wifi.

[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

There is a seller on ebay selling a legit 1500 htc battery for 15$. I can't find the thread cuz I'm on my phone but if I search on here you should find it. There was a recent post with the link in another battery thread. I have one and I'm super happy with it

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.

Got my battery 2 days ago and can already see a huge improvement. This is the HTC 1500 OEM battery. I bump charge it and it lasts all day, texting browsing and games also.
Thanks for the eBay link.

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.
Before 3 hours of good use and battery was toast on stock battery.

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 bought a Chinese 3500mah extended battery from a guy in Hong Kong on EBay for 10 bucks, and my phone lasts all day with moderate usage versus only lasting 4 or 5 hours with the stock battery.
I'm still going to get the seidio 3500 just because it comes with a nicer back.

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...
here is one llink
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-OEM-Battery...ccessories&hash=item20b3dd7c57#ht_1991wt_1140
here are 2 for 26
http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-OEM-15...Accessories&hash=item3a5f725ba4#ht_726wt_1140
why buy cheap chinese batts when you can get oem for a little more, not 50 bucks either...the 1500 lasts me ALL day, with heavy use...hour and half commute...twice, browsing, forums....games, you name it...i do have 2 cheapie chinese batts just for an extra boost if i find myself away too long, but they are only if i run out of my HTC juice, which is very rare
..delete.. how the hell did I get in this forum?

Thoughts on the Seido 1750mAh battery?

I'm sorry if there's a topic about it. I browsed for it, but the XDA app crashes whenever I try to search.
I'm considering ordering this battery. Had anyone had any good or bad experiences with it? I'm finding that the stock battery just isn't quite enough. Do you get the expected extra ~30% run time based on the capacity difference? Does it run too hot or anything? Thanks in advance for any input.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
You can go on ebay and buy 2 or 3 1800 mah batteries for the same price as one 1750 seido... I know there is a chance the batteries will be **** but ive never had bad luck with them.

I love and swear by my 1750. You will get a lot of people in here saying it is crap, but I assure you it is not. If you want a battery to last the full day and not increase the size of your phone the 1750 is for you. I have had no issues with it getting to hot. Just a word for the wise....
When you get it follow the instructions. Let it charge for several hours after full charge. Im talking twelve hours or so if you can spare. You wont regret it.
I have the 1750 and it works great, does as advertised. Gets me through a day at 1.152 GHz of mid-heavy use, I'm not complaining

Thanks for the input. What do people say about it? Just that it's not worth the "premium" price a la the first post here?
EDIT: Also, I'd consider the larger extended batteries, but I use my phone as a GPS frequently and thus can't deal with an extended back.
It's nice to have but I've become so used to plugging up that I have a way/somewhere to charge almost everywhere I go anymore. It does allow me the luxury of being able to not plug up for longer.
I've started swapping out my 1750 for my stocker and letting them charge on my docking stations for a day or so...seems to help a little.

When I was looking for a replacement battery and searching the forums many different people claimed it didn't work as advertised. That it did not last any longer than the stock battery. In my experience this is not the case at all. Also the price is a little heavy but worth it to me at the time. I would check ebay for it now though.
1750 is an over priced, under performing piece of ****. Go on ebay and for $8.90 you can get a original HTC 1500.

Why would you say that? I've had the 1750 since a week after I got my DInc and it always over performs. I've had days where my phone was on for 26 hours with 20% left. The Sedio batteries are wwaaayy better than the crap HTC Taiwanese ones. Sedio is a Japanese cell. You pay for quality.

Advertising what? A good deal? I wasted my money on the 1750 so I would know. Why pay $40 for it when the HTC 1500 performs the same.
There's some spec sheets floating around that shows HTC batteries perform at their rated mah while seidios 1750 and 3500 fall short.
And here's that sheet:

I bought a 1750 for my Eris and use it with my Dinc without any problems.
I have one, and use it regularly. Its capacity is not staggering, but noticable over stock.
I have one and would recommend it. I compared it to my stock battery a while back, and found that it charges at about the same rate (in percentage, so it charges faster technically), gives 1 extra hour under full load, and 2-3 extra hours under mixed load.
See. I told you hater trolls would show up.

Bought both the 1750mah and the eBay OEM 1500mah from bidallies and love it. 15$ and lasts twice as long as that sedieo crap. Sold that thing after two months of use. Have since bought an extra 1500 as spare and bought several more for friends and family with the Inc.

Ive noticed mine lasts maybe an hour or 2 longer then the stock battery, not worth the price tag in my opinion.
rubbish, its good for the first month. after that it dies faster than the stock. get a hero battery and call it a day
I purchased an 1800mah battery from htcexpressdotcom for $20 and it works great. Same size as the stock 1300 too.

1980mah Andida battery

FYI on a thread I started on this battery over in the g2x group.. So far, it seems promising. I'll keep it updated as I receive responses from those that are using the battery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104665
well they seems quite afraid of this ....
Sounds interesting, will keep a eye on this thread, hopefully some full tests will be done on the battery.

If anyone buyed it, say if it works.
Im very interested.
Enviado desde mi LG-P990 usando Tapatalk
i was using this brand when i have my desire z, the battery itself is really giving some extra time, but it get "fat" fast when compared with original. "fat" means reduce battery saving power. so, if compared with the original one, in long term usage, andida won't give you any good compared with original one.
I've just buyed one. I think that this could extend a lot my battery life. At least with OEM battery I coul ony use my phone for 12 houres
I have bought and received the battery now. Seems fine, but I will need more time to really notice any difference. Aslo, my stock battery kept my phone running for 40 hours on a single charge (phone is running on CM7 based ROM, stock ROM never lasted that long, 20 hours max).
So? Worth buying or not?

My battery lasts 8-12 hours depending on how bad I beat on it.
My active days, I listen to music, play suduko, check xda, play in the market. Listen to tune in radio.
That said. I don't know if that is short. I think it's pretty long, and am happy with it. I have the decrapified rom, love it. I have App Killer by Rechild set on a widget. So I go in set what I want it to regularly kill, and tap the widget through out the day. It's mostly my android process that hogs the battery according to widgetsoid.

12 hours seems like a long day and good amount of hours. i hear task killers are bad for your phone though
I was averaging 9-12 hours with decrapified 1.1 depending on use. JuiceDefender extended that another 1-2 hours but added 4-6 seconds before I get 4G back when the device "wakes up". It turns the radio off and I have it set to ping instead of constantly syncing. 3G comes on 1st, then 4G...

Sounds ridiculous but i turn airplane mode on when i'm not using the phone. Turn it off every couple hrs to see if i got any emails or texts or something. Huge battery savings. I have the accurate battery mod posted in the dev forum so if i wake it up after sitting for an hr it's down 5% if i leave airplane mode off, but if i turn it on, it's down like 1%... maybe.
Once cm7 is available, we will see huge battery improvements, i have no doubt. Gingerbread is much better w/ the battery than Froyo. I saw huge improvements between cm6 and cm7 nightlies on my droid, to the tune of 200% standby improvements. Still heavy use i wouldn't expect more than 15 hrs, but imo 10 hrs is ridiculous. There's not really a huge difference between heavy and light use in battery time either.

good to know! thanks. when is cm7 available for the revo?
Thecubed is currently working on it.
Buy an extra battery and wall charger off eBay... Throw the battery in your back pocket, and you're set all day. I swap the battery out after about 8 hours (when I get to about 20% battery) and I'm good the rest of the day. I've had to do this with EVERY Android phone I've purchased. The OG Droid would only get me about 10 hours right when I got it, but Undervoltage Kernels, and decent Rom's brought it up to around 16 hours on the standard battery. The Samsung Fascinate was horrible - Roughly 6-7 hours out of the box. Rom's got it up to around 12. The Droid Pro - 8 hours at most on the standard battery, never saw any improvements with my usage. Droid 2 - 10 hours out of the box, but when CM7 came out on it, I was averaging around 16 hours before I got the Revo. The 8 hour battery life didn't surprise me. I kinda expected it, and had already placed my battery/charger order before I went and got the phone. I'm not a fan of extended batteries just because of the extra bulk, plus finding a case w/an extended battery is a PITA. And the 3 minute downtime from a battery swap really isn't that bad (especially if you've ever had a Blackberry).

good information. but i don't feel safe buying one off of ebay because i don't think the volts will match and it will have bad results on the phone. i can't find a cheap yet any case for the extended battery. i'm sure CM7 on the revo will help the battery a lot. we just have to wait now...

good information. but i don't feel safe buying one off of ebay because i don't think the volts will match and it will have bad results on the phone. i can't find a cheap yet any case for the extended battery. i'm sure CM7 on the revo will help the battery a lot. we just have to wait now...

Agreed, I don't buy from overseas with the battery but the charger really doesn't matter. I got a genuine LG battery for $19 and then just a generic charger for it for $8. Knock on wood I haven't had any problems with the chargers I've gotten, but I don't trust generic batteries either.

I bought my extended battery off eBay and it came in an authentic Verizon box with back for 36 bucks shipped so its genuine not fake.

New, better battery

Hi, Is there any better battery than stock on Ebay?
Yes, I use One from AkkuKing and One form PolarCell and both are better then the stock battery..

There are 2 kinds of battery replacements, the ones that have the same size as the original one, and the ones that are bigger and come with a replacement back cover for your phone in order to fit in there.
The first kind is usually ineffective. The Mah listed by most of those batteries is greatly exaggerated and poor quality control makes getting one of them a lottery. You might get one that lasts a little longer, but it might start to deteriorate after a month of usage, or it might be worse than the stock battery from the start. The only exception to this rule is the Mugen power 1700 Mah battery, but the cost of that one is almost unreasonable.
On the other hand while the fatter batteries do work, they will transform your phone to an unpocketable miniature whale. You will also be unable to find any cases big enough for the phone.
I am in the same situations as you and i decided to go for the Mugen, it is expensive but it's reliable and performs better than the stock battery.
which mugen?? extended or stock?
and what about anker...are they any good??

is there a big difference from buying a new battery, i cant remember how long the phone lasted when i just bought it, ya they sell it at the lg service centre
Actually my battery used to suck on standby ...like when I sleep after 7 hours around 35- 50% gone...but with this original it's only like 3 %

Anker batteries are supposed to be good quality but i can't find the normal sized model anywhere and even if i did, it has the same MAh as the OEM battery, so i don't see a reason not to get the LG battery instead. The fat 2800 MAh model is good but i don't want to double the size of my phone. For that same reason i am not interested in the Mugen Power 4500 MAh battery, i will go for the 1700 MAh version instead.
Actually I got the battery from grey market here in Bangalore India it looks exactly same as original exactly same means from exactly you just can't differentiate ...but after a month it became futile hold same charge if you use our not will discharge in 4 hours
Jeez, huge difference between 1700 and 4500.. Almost 3x lol

Yes, the same multiplier is applied to the size of the phone
Such a waste of space the whole backlid should be a battery not only the dimention behind oryginal battery place...

How long your battery drains in standby, like when you sleep on night if it's 100% after 7 hours how much you get when you get up?
