[Q] Are these bigger batteries for Real ?!

Seems like any other chinese market or Ali Baba's hidden batteries yet they say they're genuine and come with HTC warranty lol. I tried to e-mail HTC and clarify this but I need to have a phone in order to do that and my HD7 is currently on its way to me ..

just got one ... will let you know

Hope you will provide good reviews from it ! Do you have it physically in hand or you got it ordered ? From my experience 3rd party batteries don't have the brand logo (due to copyright I guess). The one on that links seems to really be a HTC battery but it might aswell be just a random pic from the web ..
Looking forward to your feedback

got it from here:
http://www.htchd7accessories.com/
and i just ordered it ->Germany so not sure when it will arrive.

The more I look at it the more legit it seems .. Although I'd still want a proper response from HTC on this one. It would be great if someone who already has a HD7 would ask their mail support and paste it over here.

if you google for the part number:35H00143-01M most german/european pages told me 1230mAh.
could be the stock one.
anyway looks suspenseful.

I'm going to order the 1500 mah one and see how it goes. This phone should have come stock with a 1500 mah anyway, so i hope it works.

as i say, htc partnumer 35H00143-01M is a 1230 mah one. both pages sell 35H00143-01M but declare it as a 1500 mah battery.
would be great to know whats real. is it a 1500 mah one or 1230 mah stock htc.
thank you

I also think is misslabelled. I'd love a 1500 mAh battery but it sounds to good to be true that we get so early a bigger battery

Not real.

is the hd7 battery the same as the hd2?
What about the same as the evo or tp2?
Just curious, because there are some decent batteries out there for those 2 devices.

Unfortunately no. In order for them to squeeze the size on this they had to change up the battery size. I have my sources and so far none of them can actually put their hands on anything larger than the OEM battery so far. The ones advertised are not A Grade 1230mAH batteries.
If my sources can get a hold of them I am a direct importer/manufacturer of Cell Phone Accessories. I might try for a group buy. Air Freight from China is not cheap for small orders. I do not advertise here due to the fact we sell to national retailers and have never setup to handle small quantity items. We are toying with the idea at the moment.
If I find something I will post. I might start a group buy on something for the HD7's. Manufacturers are starting to get the molds completed on this phone from what i have been told.

great post ... what are you basing this info on ?
anyway i sent the company an email asking them to provide some evidence of the 1500mAh. If I do not receive any I will reject the Paypal payment and not accept the battery at all.
Lets see how that goes.

Read the post above yours. You can be told all you want. It has been proven that batteries even from top suppliers are not as good as some of the OEM at a lesser mAH. Since I am in the business I have already asked by agents in China.
Search for it. I am sure Seidio or the likes will produce something soon. there is not a lot of room in the battery bay to make a larger battery than perhaps a 1500mAH before you have to get a custom back cover.
Not trying to rain on your parade just being realistic. The HD7 needs a bigger battery. It's battery life is not that great but its not that bad.

3300mAh Battery by Mugen Power

Hello fellow XDA peeps...
This just popped up on my Google Realtime Homepage
(which is, ofcourse, set to search for "Nexus S" results )
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/google/google-samsung-nexus-s/mugen-power-3300mah-extended-battery-for-google-samsung-nexus-s-with-battery-door.html
Yes, it's pretty expensive, would need a different battery door (read: no NFC), and probably adds quite some weight..
but - it won't run out on you that easy
On a separate note - does any one have tips for a good replacement/swap battery that I could buy?

$99.95 wowww :O im assuming that this battery will add massive bulk

Nice.... I will get it in a few weeks. I want to read some reviews first.

Just got confirmation from Mugen Power, they are sending me the battery for review! They are in Hong Kong so should arrive in a couple of days and will follow up with video review.
"This is Mugen Power Thanks for your message!

Yeah for sure, I want to compare battery life on both (obviously ) - bulk on both - time of charging taken for both - usability on both - if it's really necessary in the end, to be honest, I'm fine with a phone that gets me through 1 day, since I can just charge at night.
However I could see myself using something like this on a road trip where I'd be using phone nonstop or perhaps to tether to my MacBook.
Suggestions are welcomed

so true! I think most people generally follow that same rule, if you can get through 1 day on heavy usage, then battery life will be acceptable, anything short of that is where you begin to hate your phone since you have to carry charger/extra batteries lol

While we're on the topic of batteries, they both can be rejuvenated via microUSB. Thoughtfully, Columbia includes a single wall adapter with two USB ports, as well as two USB charging plugs. That means that a single wall socket can charge both packs up, and yeah, it'll charge your Nexus One and Garmin PND if you ask it to. Another killer addition is the inclusion of worldwide power sockets; if you're the type who jets off to Switzerland or France to catch some fresh powder, your charger will come prepared. A nice touch, indeed. Furthermore, one of the internal batteries has a USB port that can be used to charge any USB-enabled smartphone or PMP so long as you supply the cable, which is certainly helpful for those on the slopes with a dying iPod touch.

most likely eBay or Craigslist.
I was pretty fond of it but didn't like the development that was going on around there. All the ROMs were based off internal Samsung Froyo leaks and development was limited because Samsung took forever to release Froyo (kernels were closed-sourced, only kernel available was the I9000 and vibrant kernels based off I9000 kernels were awful battery life). This leaded me to getting a Nexus S and i don't regret it. Only thing I really miss are the video codecs, at the moment 720p mkv play fine but no audio is being outputted.

Oh ok, well the Nexus S is my first android phone so i've had no experience with others and if i could find others for 200-300$ used i wouldn't mind buying to compare, thx though!

For whoever is interested...
"Hi Gianpy!
Just placed an order with two batteries for you: one for 3300mAh and the other one is stock sized 1600mAh.
You will get confirmation letters on your email address when they will be shipped."
They are sending me the 1600mAh battery as well, which I think is 100 mAh more than our original battery. Will compare that as well.

[Q] New experimental Galaxy S battery?

Hello!!!
I was searching in ebay and i found this:
[link] http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_2218wt_1139 [link]
I was thrilled at first 2430Mah!! It could't be.. However i thought that there may be drawbacks.. If anyone knows more can he tell me if to buy one?
Something else. If the battery is fake could it break the phone?
Thank you for you time!!

Buy it.
Made in Japan with 2 year warranty. Looks good to me.

You might want to head over the accessory section and do just a little search, you should learn a lot about this battery, there is a full hread with feedback already waiting for you ...

Just got this battery, took ages to charge (a good sign), so far the battery is performing really well, early days tho yet, lost 20% charge at work today, normally, its at least 30 - 40%
Sent using TCP/IP

These batteries have been shown before to have far less charge than advertised. it might even be less than the stock battery...
Never trust the advertised mah unless its an official battery or if someone has done real testing on it.

The seller doesn't have a very good feedback for his batteries so I would avoid!

These batteries are made in China, they have had the Japanese writing added because people think Japanese cells are better than Chinese ones and they will sell better, stay away they are bu11sh1t.
Also if you are interested its impossible to fit 2430mAh of cells into the same formfactor as the original battery.

exactly. at least with current tech. we do have an official 1800mah battery that fits (actually its from SGS2 epic 4g) but even that is .5mm thicker.
2430 is 62% more than stock.

Generally these batteries are of very bad quality and slowly slowly u will start noticing battery life getting low and low day by day. Buy one which has many reviews and are all good. And buy one which is made by a renowned company . Search about any company you buy from, at Google.
P.s. Buy from a Korean company.

I highly doubt you will get the usage that it's said to bring. These cheap batterys are often dangerous and will turn out to be worse than your stock battery. Trust me if you value your handset I wouldn't use one of these.

Warninig - fake.
First of all: the weight: original SGS battery is 34g. So, if replacement experimental platinium super-hyper 3000Giga Ah battery will be lighter - it's a fake. And, it IS lighter.
Second, this and similar issues are and were widely discussed in Accessories:CLick and Click 2
Third, as you may see, both referred by me links contains the DIFFERENT ebay seller who:
- changed his eBay nick from ecell_accesorize to e_cell;
- in both cases is claiming that his stuff is located in Manchester, UK
- is completely untrustworthy, as he buys his eBay feedback. Please take a look on Buying eBay feedback announced thanks to NiTroGenious
- please read carefully both given by me threads. You will find that there is commonly negative feedback from testing: the positive feedback in relation to 1939mah battery was given by... none, and in case of 2430mah battery thread, the positive feedback was given by peoples referring to 1800mah PolarCell battery only.
Looks promising? Interested to waste your monies? Well, you're welcome then

Not being argumentative in the slightest - I'd just stay out if I was - you've sparked my curiosity. What else are they for then? I thought they were literally just for telling you about speed traps.

your not argumentative at all, but they have many uses like for instance the GPS modules tell your speed, red light cameras, accuracy on speed.
The bands it has like for instance a 15 band has 7 types of radars, 6 lasers, and 2 safety signals. like when a firetruck or emergency vehicles, etc...
several other reasons too, just gives you a warning doesn't give you the GO to speed.

*bump* does anyone use them?? i would like some advice on them

Just make sure it doesn't show up on the police's radar, Cause mine did and they took it... It was long time ago, so maybe the new one's are better

Don't waste your money on a Cobra. When they came out 30 years ago they were the best, but they have fallen seriously behind.
Look at Escort/Beltronics. They're the same company but I think they still sell under both names. Best radar detectors out there hands down.
And make sure they are legal in the state you plan on using it. The fines and hassle of getting caught are much much worse than the speeding ticket.

Honestly,in that price range,I would just wait on getting one. They typically won't do enough to warrant spending 100-120. if you can't get at least an 8500 x50, I wouldn't waste my money. I wouldn't buy anything under 200.

I've owned a cobra. Be it an older cheaper model from like 02. But like I said, "I" wouldn't buy anything less than an x50. I couldn't justify it. For the price,I'm sure it's a decent RD judging from a quick search, just not something I would buy.

Anything under $300 won't do you much good. Look up the Valentine 1, passport escort, or belltronics sti. They are well known and respected. You can do some research at radarroy.com its pretty informative

[Q] Fake battery?

Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.

German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?

i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.

Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

well it's going to matter, if the battery ends up exploding while your phone is in your pocket.
@-MaoR-
Concerning my previous post, i was merely elaborating on what you said:
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

Yes my original has 3 patches.
Well.. That's really hard to tell fakes today..
What year is your battery?
Thank you

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..
Thanks again

you raise a good point, $8 or $800 pocket explosions are bad.
I had not even considered that happening :silly:

In fact considering that most of us do sleep with our phones next to our head, maybe she could consider herself..... rather lucky after all

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.
Thanks

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..
