Hello all,
I have been unhappy with the battery life in my Revolution pretty much since I got it in December. This past week I went on ebay and got an extended battery, but I think it isn't compatible or something... Whenever I turn the phone on with this battery in it, I get the message "Use genuine battery. -Power off-"
Has anybody else had an issue like this with an extended battery? The one I bought is:

Says it's compatible but it's obviously not. Return it and get the one through Verizon.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

Buying the 1500mAh battery by HTC from htcpedia.com really helped my battery life.
It is like an average phone now. I took my phone off the charger at 6am this morning. It is now almost 3pm and my phone has not died yet... and mind you I have been on it for 4 hours HARD!! I've been browsing.. Market... texting.. talking.. you name! (Except gaming, and streaming)
I bought the 1500mah by HTC because of two reasons:
It was made by HTC (a known name)
It fits in perfectly without buying a thicker back covering (huge plus!)
Don't really trust Seido (Don't know them too well)
My steps once I got my battery.
Bumped Charged
Wiped Battery Stats
Drained Battery (until it cut itself off)
Bumped Charged again
Another note to notice is the batter stats from rival phones of the incredible:
iPhone 4: 1420mAh
Droid X: 1570mAh
EVO: 1500mAh
Nexus: 1400mAh
I got these stats from here.
Seeing these stats make me wonder WHY did HTC ship the Droid incredibles with 1300mAh??
Also... how in the world is Seido fitting those 1750mAh in there? Or are they REALLY fitting in 1750mAh? Hmm...
The 1500mAh provided by HTC puts my Droid Incredible battery life up there with the big boys
**I'm not putting down the Seido company nor saying that there batteries are flawed. All I am stating is that I don't know how they are doing it**
Get the battery HERE

I updated the first post.
You think this is the same battery? http://amzn.to/cS3liO Do you mind tell me if either of these numbers are listed?
# ASIN: B003YM9ANY
# Item model number: 35H00123-22M
Model #: RHOD160
Rating: 3.7VDC == 1500mAh
5.55Whr
Would you mind telling me what % your battery was at by 3pm as you stated? Saying it hasn't died yet could mean like 3% remaining, ya know, to which I'd say I get similar stats with my 1300.
I too am in the market for a new battery and was unfamiliar with this one until this post. I have been eyeing the seidio battery but reading about its heat issue is worrysome. (Which reminds me, any comment on the heat?)
Thanks for sharing your info
I use this battery, too. If I go all day, wihout plugging it in, after 12 hours, I'm down to about 25%. After 14 hours, it's time to either charge it, or put my other battery in.
I also took the op's advice and just recieved this. What does wiping the bat stats do though?

i bought this a while back. no bump charging since i charge in the external charger. 2 1500mah with a charger for $10 w/ shipping? no brainer for me.
hey crazifyngers could you tell me how long have you had the batteries and how is it lasting
I bought the HTC TP2 1500 mah battery for $15 shipped off ebay and it appears to be the same battery the OP posted but black instead of red. I bought from the seller bidallies and the battery appears to be a legit HTC OEM battery.
I notice a drastic difference in battery life, and I don't have to charge my phone in the late afternoon. Definately worth it.

My take on "Wiping Battery Stats" is that it deletes the information that tells your phone that it is fully charged and when it is low. Wiping those stats cause for it to monitor and record new stats to base off of.

i have been using those batteries for about 2 weeks and have noticed a slight increase in charge time. the main thing for me is not having to charge the phone just swap batteries and more importantly NO BUMP CHARGING. that is a huge pet peeve of mine. but i digress. i have used extended batteries but i prefer the look of a slim phone. i normally don't need an extended or extra battery but it is nice to know that if i need the juice i have it. i don't recall which site i read it on but it was reviewed by android central i believe.

This. Great price, I would never pay 50 dollars for that battery. You can get the 2150 for that price

i have these too. been very happy with them, they give roughly 20% more battery life on a charge over stock. charger acts funny sometimes though. pardon the dumb question, what's bump charging?

Bump charging is turning the phone off to get the phone to charge to full instead of stopping at 92%.
all of these stats are incredible! *chuckles at bad joke*
too bad im only 14 and dont hav the money to buy one...
anyone care to donate for a future developer in progress?

my generic extended hd2 battery requires to be removed and reinserted at the halfway point.

Hi, I am running the stock US TMO Windows Mobile 6.5
Here is a couple references about having to remove and reinsert the generic extended batteries to get the other half of its life when it gets down to 50%. I have no idea why but I am assuming that perhaps the genuine HTC extended battery has a special chip of some kind in it or something. I would like to find an extended battery that discharges all the way without a reboot, or else get the genuine one but only if that will solve the issue. I hope someone knows what is up with this.

Try the leicke battery, its much cheaper and acts the same as the Official HTC extended battery

I got mine for 10.99 about 6 months ago and its been fine for Android and WM 6.5

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.
Does anyone know of any extended or aftermarket batteries that could work with the Droid 4 by replacing the internal battery?
I understand it is an internal battery, but that does not mean it cannot be removed :good:
You can take it out, but it's not supposed to be removed, so as far as i know no one makes one for the droid 4. Some ppl tried putting in a razr maxx battery, but they then found out that the battery doesn't fit into the same slot. What you can do is get an external battery or maybe you can see if they make cases with battery's in them like they do for the iphone and other devices. Hope i helped.
I have been looking for a case that has an extra battery in it and i cant seem to find one anywhere. If anyone finds one please let me know. I use my phone everything so it would be nice to not have to take my charger with me all the time.

Sadly, I haven't heard of any anywhere. One of these days I want to tear one apart and see if I can't hack in a battery adapter or something...

I guess here is one. Seems to work for the D4 too.

There is a replacement, though, of course. :silly:
this phone would be awesome if it had a extended battery and unlockable bootloader.
Do we have something new about extended battery?

have you check it out from Mugen? I think Mugen may have it, but it should expensive(over $90)
Do Droid 4s share the same battery with a Razr? If so, the Razrs can upgrade to the Razr Maxx battery with some tinkering. I foresee problems finding a bulged backplate for a Droid 4, though.

did you read the 2nd post in this thread?
the mugen site doesn't list the d4. closest thing is the d3 and photon (not the photon q, which looks a lot like a d4), both of which have regular removable batteries, so it doesn't look good for us. esp now that it looks like the droid5 just got leaked... and it doesn't seem to have an easily replaceable battery either.

I just puchased the mugen extended battery. It does add a little more bulk and unable to get a case that will fit the larger door. Other than the power meter not able to show true battery life. It is a software limitation. I do like the longevity of the battery though. My original battery would die while I was asleep after about 5 to 6 hours offBT the charger just sitting idle with no wi-fi or BT on.

hey there! Figured I would chime in on some info concerning extended batts for the D4.. Even though I am not sure that this pertains to the particular model you are looking at, I have found one that works extremely well, and does not need an extended back for the phone. It has thicker cells, and I've gotten more than a day out of it. Given that is not full use of course, but still thats almost unheard of (at least for me) when it comes to the D4. Also, I have to say that I was a bit pretentious at first, because this battery is sourced from china/japan on eBay. Anyways here is your link!

Yeh they have a extended battery 2085 mAh using stock door but the Mugen is 3800mAh which seems super capacity tho the device will become a bit thicker due to expanded door.
I don't mind the expanded door just want to know experience of people who have used it - how long it takes to charge from 0 to 100% and does it almost give double battery life to Droid4 when compared to stock battery...
PLSE PLSE share your experience before I spend $100/- :laugh:
I bought 3weeks ago a new battery from eBay. It 2100mAh and the battery life is quite better than before. I was charging after 4-5 hours of use and now it around 6-7 hours of use. What kills it for me when it is 1xmode for internet.....because I have flashed over to another carrier. Im quite happy with the battery.

Hi guys, my battery has been used for over a year and half, started to drain very quick, the recent Android 10 update helped but still draining quicker. Today I myself installed a new battery from eBay.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REPLACEM...859434?hash=item5481cba3aa:g:uUwAAOSwYY1enbmT
I highly doubt this is original, and I understand companies do not sell original batteries in bulk to any company, I simply require a high quality battery, not fussed about brand to be honest . I asked the seller to confirm if this OEM battery has the exact same performance MAH as the original, he claimed it was original, when arrived it had the Huawei logo and looked good quality.
looked exactly like the one below.
https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-huawei honor 10 battery.html
The original was around 50grams and replacement 53grams.
I want to know if anyone else has replaced the v10 battery and how it turned out?
Thanks
" Today I myself installed a new battery from eBay."
And how it is? What is the Screen on Time(SOT)?
Can You give more details about the performance of the battery as you alr3ady have IT installed?
