Batteries! The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Discussions!

Good Day.
I would like to make a list of different battery sellers/brands and your experience with them, then compile the information into the OP for easy viewing. I am doing this because I have had 2 bad experiences buying batteries on ebay from high rated sellers. It can also be difficult to determine what htc models have interchangeable batteries.
Known HTC Models with interchangeable batteries
CDMA TP2 ERIS OZONE HERO EVO IMAGIO SNAP DESIRE INCREDIBLE(DUH)
HTC Models non compatible batteries
N1 G1 FUZE OTHERS
Props(and ALL CREDIT) To Doug Simmons for his work testing batteries and making the results public domain. We need more people like you!
Please check out http://batteryboss.org
Mr. Simmons's VERY scientific testing of multiple batteries and brands show consistently overstated mah on many brands of batteries. Please see second post or above website.
XDA Member Jermaine151 has a thread about his experience with the OEM 2150 getting 3 days of runtime I think has great photo's and info.
XDA Member DrPheta has some good information for identifying FAKE OEM BATTERIES.

I have had nothing but trouble with no name batteries, and I have not seen one capacity test to support getting more than 1500mah from this form factor. even the 1500 makes it more difficult to close back cover. I'd be curious to know what the battery weighs.
I bought HTC 1500 from amazon marketplace for $9..Amazon has me fully covered. Could not be happier.

I Got the seido 1750mah, very high quality. was a little afraid to go with a no name company.

I got the Seidio 3500, even if it's only 80-90% of the advertised, it's still the highest actual mAh on the market and I can get a full day with Wi-Fi tethering, GPS, and downloading and flashing the latest CyanogenMod nightly over Verizon 3G (DROID Incredible).

+1. I have the Seidio 3500mAh and it is a hoss! I have no problem getting through an entire day with heavy use. It doesn't detract from the looks of my Incredible either. In fact, the included battery door makes it fit in my hand better and protects the camera lens.

I get better performance out of my HTC 1500 then my Seidio 1750. The HTC is thicker and heavier then the Seidio. I paid $17.99 shipped for the HTC and something like $40.00 for the Seidio.
I just purchased an HTC 2150 which included an OEM backing for $39.99. Couldn't be happier with it.
I think with what I've learned, going OEM is the only way.

I agree. The seidio 1750 is crap

I'm really liking the HTC 1500 battery (same one that comes with the evo). Right now I'm sitting at 15% remaining after 13 hours 20 minutes of uptime and 4 hours 40 minutes of awake time. Thats without bump charging it either. Score one for the oem.

I use the HTC 2150 and I love it. One charge lasts all day with HEAVY use.

Batteries for Optimus Black

I`ve just found this:
(can`t post link yet, so google it)
Mugen Power 3400mAh Extended Battery for LG Optimus Black P970 / DOCOMO LG Optimus Bright [HLI-P970XL]
Looks promising, capacity is more than double
Do you thik it will make phone thicker?

Yes, the phone will be thicker.
If you look at Mugen direktly (first hit on google) there will be extra shells shipped with the accu. If you close enough at the picture you will see a little pit at the camera spot. I assume it will be about 5 mm thicker or so.
Greetings

I really like the look of this extended battery. Since the phone is already so thin I don't think an extended battery will make as big of a difference as it does with other phones. My only issue is the $100 price tag. Hopefully there'll be more options by the time this phone hits the USA, specifically VMU.

OMFG ! How ugly ! OB lost all the sex !

There is a highly reputable, reliable and respected seller on ebay from whom I have bought many items (but not batteries). They are selling high capacity, japanese batteries for a reasonable price.
Go onto ebay and search for 'Gold 2430MAH battery optimus black'
I emailed them regarding the quality of the batteries and the price and basically their answer was that they have an excellent feedback score on almost all batteries they have sold and the price is good because they get it straight from the factory.
I have ordered a set and will report on it after some use

There are no miracles in that area, there's no physical possibility of having such a big capacity in such a small form.
This is more than 100% fake.
Waiting for your confirmation.

Here you can find users feedback about those batteries. All of them are fake. Higher capacity requires larger size so only Mugen batteries are not fake.

Where would you say is reliable to get a new battery then? To pay 30gbp for a mugen battery is too much I think

If you need new battery - buy original one, if you need longer time, think rather of buying good 5v charger. The one for P970 is 4.8v, and some of polish lg users claim that 5v extends battery live. Think of some original microUsb charger, eg.Nokia.

I think, if you need a good product, then it's normal to pay a good price. Besides, Mugen has great customer support on Facebook http://facebook.com/mugenpowerbatteries and Twitter and through their website. They changed 1 battery for me already without issues. I rather pay a 100$ and know that I can change the battery if it does not work, rather than buying a bulk of useless junk on eBay for 10$...same goes with any other product - you can buy cheep shows and throw them away in a month, or buy good ones and wear for a year.

How much is the extended battery?

Mugen over rates their batteries by quite a bit. Check batteryboss.org

Mugen are the best and the "only" or is there any other brand....?

No such thing as free lunch. If it is much cheaper it is for a reason.
When is the last time you bought a 50 dollar gold Rolex?

But in case you feel adventurous and do buy that extended battery please do make a experience update.
I got a similar pack for my 5800 when the original battery died and to be fair performance is better than i expected for a 15 euro

Seido 3500 Extended Battery for Sale on Amazon for only $10.91!

Even though I'm no longer a DInc1 user ( ), I still wanted to let you all know about this deal. Amazon is now selling the Seidio Innocell 3500 mAh Extended-Life Battery for only $10.91. I purchased one a few weeks ago for something like $50 before I returned it because of my new replacement phone. If you haven't picked one of these up yet I highly recommend them!

Awesome to hear guys. Yeah, it does add bulk obviously but I actually really liked it.

Thanks for sharing this with us.
Such a great deal

shame i already ordered the OEM 2150 battery.
but i may pick this up later

Thanks! Even though I have the 2150 I'll probably still order one of these.
Edit: just ordered the 3500. Couldn't pass it up so I'll just put my 2150 in my wife's dinc.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Wow that's a huge discount! The battery makes the phone chunky, like twice the stock thickness (maybe more?), but it is almost 3x the stock 1300mAh..

Does it come with a new back for the added size, what a deal.

While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

I've been running mine for over a year. Still works like the day I got it. It does come with a new battery cover that's just as much a pain to get off.... in other words, it fits just and nicely as the factory cover. Damn the punk to hell who told them the price was wrong!!!! Still, at $50 it's a better deal than the cheap chinese OEM extended battery.

I didn't find the battery you all have posted but I did find Prodicell 1900 mAH battery on Amazon. I dont know why it would make that big of a change, but it is a dramatic improvement over the stock oem battery. I also have the 3500 mAH battery ordered but have not got it yet. Figure i will use it when I know i will have a really busy day out and no access to a charger.

Well now that the SG2 doesnt look like it is coming out any time soon. I think I may just stick with my Trill. I do like.
So please let us know how the extended battery works out. I want one, but dont like not having a case to put on afterwards. Are there bumpers that will work with an extended battery casing?

The 1980 MAH battery doesn't require a new back cover, you can use the regular back cover for the Thrill.

Zack Morris phone anyone?

Honestly the stock battery lasts so long for me (6-7 hours screen time), I would rather keep an extra stock battery in my briefcase for the very few times I may run out of battery travelling.

Doesn't look half bad. Can you give review and more pics when you get it?

You never really know with those cheap batteries. Though I have never really had and issue, the ones I have had have always worked. I just suspect the capacity listed on them is often not so accurate.
The fact that by all accounts the Note II has excellent battery life I just got a spare battery from Samsung using the 50% code mantioned in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957986
It over priced but with the code I paid about $25 plus a few dollars for shipping.
I doubt I'll run out of battery often, but will rotate them and keep one on me when traveling just in case.
I seen the video of one of those extended batteries for the Note I and it did give great battery life but added a lot of heft and weight to an already large device.
