1500mAh Battery for Five Bucks Shipped

I've ordered from this site in the past with favorable results. Shipping can take up to 3 weeks but it is free. This battery is for the Touch Pro 2 but should work with our phones.

Super! I have ordered from them as well with positive result. Let us know how the battery performs when it comes in. Thanks for the heads up!

That's a killer price... and they take paypal. Thanks Hexto!
My only question is... will adding 200mAh really make a big difference?

I was thinking of ordering one of these, too, but now I'm not sure if I need to. Ever since learning that the Calendar was causing my phone not to sleep, I have been being sure to keep that process killed. Let me tell you it has made a HUGE result. I unplug my phone around 8am every day and usually by lunchtime I have a battery that is about 40%. And that is just with moderate use.
Today I unplugged it at the same time and have been streaming BT audio to my car for about 4 hours straight. Now it's 4:30pm and the battery is still at 60%! All by just killing the Calendar process.
Hopefully HTC/Google can get that software kink worked out in the next release.

I agree. Ever since I found what wasn't letting my phone sleep, my battery life has improved tremendously. Also, now that I'm using TaskPanel, all apps that I don't need open get auto-killed when my phone sleeps. That's why I was wondering if the extra 200 mAh would be worth it, even if it is only $5. Anyone have any opinion?

I always like to have an extra battery for when I go camping or travel. Doubt 200mAh will make much of a difference but at that price I'd I don't have to even think about it. Its the price of a foot long

thanks for posting - I bought two to have as extras. They will come in handy at some point!

Where could I find an extra charger for batteries only?
Thanks.

Siedio has one http://www.seidioonline.com/

I agree that having an extra battery could come in handy at times. I have to say I am a bit worried about removing the battery cover any more than absolutely necessary, though. With my Droid, the battery cover falls off at will, and I wonder how the Incredible's battery cover will hold up to being removed repeatedly.

Would this charger work?? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25175

My only question is, when my Incredible explodes after installing this battery, can I claim manufacturer's defect? :~P

I'd like to know the answer to this because DealExtreme has some kick ass prices on damn near EVERYTHING!

I don't see how this would work. Contacts seem to be in wrong place. The TP2 is different than the TP, but I could be wrong, it's been known to happen...

You would need to get the base plate for the TP2 battery to charge. Same as incredible.
Or you can do what I just did and placed 20 orders for my client for their incredible
Ebay hkcyberport
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Category=20336&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=1
It comes with an OEM HTC TP2 battery and charger with the correct plate. It also has a USB(mini) plug to dual charge or plug into laptop.
$10.88 with battery and free shipping. I don't need it right away so the 7-10 days is not big deal.

yeah, it definitely appears to NOT be oem. If I had an order put in for oem and received that, I would not be happy

DX batteries are notorious for being over-rated in their capacity. Plus at that price I doubt if the batteries are protected from overdischarging...explosion would be a possibility.

You can also go to eBay and type in htc incredible battery
and there will be a bundle of 2 of those with a standalone desktop charger for the batteries for about 10-15 shipped.
You can also buy a 14piece bundle with screen protectors, styluses, chargers, the above battery bundle, and a couple cases and more for about 35-40$ shipped.

Well, I just received the battery from DealExtreme. Although it fits in the slot, it will not charge or power up. Either I received a DOA battery, or it does not work. Either way, save your $5.

"Do" take a chance, Anker make superb batteries that work either equal to or better than the originals in terms of life span and quality. I've tried batteries from other manufacturers in the past and had my first Anker, all the way back when I had my HTC Desire, ever since then it's the only 3rd party battery producer I trust.
I've tried others, but they just don't compare in my opinion.

Though it's a great price I can't justify to buy it because the current battery last me 1.5-2days. What do I do with the spare battery? What do you guys do? Buy it as spare and use it once a blue moon? Or switch every so often to spread stress of battery?

I agree. I see no point in a 2nd battery for the Note 2 unless you live in a place where there is constant power outages that may last a day. But if you are in North America I see no reason.

It's $10 for americans, so half price. I ordered one, never know when you forget to charge it one might or are super low and need to go out somewhere.

Confirmed!

I'm no battery expert, but I doubt leaving a battery fully charged for a day, Is going to destroy it, that's like saying you have to remove your phone off charge once it's compete (which is recommended by all manufacturers).
If the battery gets fully charged at 3AM in the morning, I challenge you to show me a Muppet, that wakes up from sleep, just to take their phone off charge, in fear of damaging the battery due to over charging haha.
If someone does do that however.... then they seriously need to get laid and chill the hell out

I'd rather have the battery and not need it than need it and not have it. For £6 it's hardly gonna break the bank. Agreed the Note 2 has a sh*t-hot battery, but it's still new to me and i have it in use ALL the time so i'm powering through the juice at a fair rate of knots. Anyway, you can never have enough power.

True that it is cheap, only time I considered a 2nd battery is when I was nearing the end if my contract of old phone and battery was bit tired. Though buying a battery now and let it sit there for 2 years isn't really cost effective imo. I've never had batteries fail on me, I'd like to know when is a situation where I would need power but not had enough (especially with this phone).
If you hike, or its for an 'emergency' why not just buy one of those 50,000mah chargers? yes they cost more than £6 but then you can charge many devices, many times, and actually let it sit there for ages as there is a lot of mah for natural discharge.

I do have an external/portable battery charger too, but it's just not ideal when you're half way up a mountain, having a cables attached to the device you just want to whip out, check your bearing, then stick it back in your pocket again, it's just too cumbersome.
Having the extra batteries (for my personal situation) means, I can use my Note with MM Tracker or Memory Map, to guide me around the wilderness and not have to worry about conserving life.
I sometimes like to track the routes I take as well, that feature alone drains your juice like it's going out of fashion, If you want a fairly accurate track at least, as it has to poll it's position quite frequently.
I'll probably use two batteries at a time on a day-to-day basis and keep one, part charged. At the end of a day, I'll remove battery 1, put it on charge and use battery 2 the following day, then do the same the following week but replace battery 2 for battery 3. At 6 quid each, I'm not bothered that there will be a battery sat fully charged for a day whilst not in use, as it's not being left in storage fully charged long enough for it to be affected in my opinion, not short term at least anyway.

It seems impossible To find an anker or hyperion extended battery on amazon/ebay uk
. Does someone manage to buy one of them from uk?

How's your battery life?

My battery life is decent, but the charging time is the slowest I've ever seen on any device I've ever owned. I'm not even kidding. Surely it's just a defect on mine right?

Negative. My charge time was ridiculously slow. To the point that while I was charging in my car, if I was doing things along side it, my battery would actually go down. Plugged into wall, it is slow but charges though. Maybe its just US or a small number?

Waiting to get mine still. Did anyone else notice that on Sprint's website it said the One has a 19 hour battery life?

It seemed a little better this afternoon, but I've basically had the device plugged in since this morning(10am)(got it at 55%, and albeit the majority of the time, it was plugged into the vehicle[which hasn't been very good anyways[[my GS3 also loses battery while on charge if doing anything concerning navigation or streaming]]]) and it literally hit 100% about 20 minutes ago. granted I've been using it like a pack mule. and I'm sure you have too.

Actually I haven't used it at all. Got it at 2 PM, was at 60%. Dropped my mom off at the airport immediately after, came home and it was 50% at 3:20 PM (which is okay because LTE was on by default and it's super patchy here so I turned it off). Plugged it in and showered, 15 minute shower and I come out and it's 50% still (plugged directly into the wall). Went to work at 5, 55% when I got there. Plugged it in to the computer we have at the front desk and over the course of my 5 hour shift it eventually hit 95% before I had to leave at 10 PM. Un-****ing-acceptable.

yeah, I'd say mine is a little better than that. I left the screen off and didn't use it for like 2 hours and it went from 73% to 91.

Sent from my HTCONE

I don't have my One yet so I can't confirm this personally, but I've read in a few different places that the charging rate is a little slow compared to other phones. My guess is that HTC is trying to maximize the lifespan of the battery since it's non-removable. Quicker charging would generate more heat and might cause it to wear it out faster.

Yes this is the case. Check anandtechs review.
Brian speculates just as you do that it is for longevity.

If I'm not mistaken, the phone has a smart battery or a circuit inside the battery that prevents it from drawing too much current. It is pretty much a standard among smartphones these days. Therefore, even though you use the 2 amp charger, you may not charge faster at all.

I've found thats too much for most phones. It all depends on the charger(most car adapters are crappy), I'd assume. I've had the same with Evo, Optimus, GS2, and GS3. If anything is running alongside gps/navi, it destroys the battery

[TIP] Don't buy a fast charger for your car

I did the mistake of purchasing a fast charger for my car (2000ma).
Now, don't get me wrong, the fast charger works great and charge the phone as fast as the original charger at home. The problem is that when you fast charge, and use other battery intensive applications (like WAZE), the device will become very hot. Such high temperature will shorten the battery lifespan (and as you remember, we can't replace batteries with the G2, so we better take care of it).
I find that with my 500ma car charger, this is about the drain that is being sucked up by GPS navigation, so while you won't charge up the phone, you won't lose battery either, and it won't get hot.
I'm sticking with a slow charger for the car (simply because the phone is active most of the time it is being charged in the car, in contrast to home), and so should you if battery health is important for you.

We can replace them just not easily swap them.

I saw the video of dismantling the LG2's back cover to replace battery. Most people will break their phone while trying to remove the back cover. Moreover, those who have 2 years warranty and like to keep the phone 2 years, will lose warranty if they try to replace the battery themselves (and through the manufacturer, replacing the battery will cost a small fortune).

Qualcomm Quick Charge External Battery from TechMatte

Alright, so I have a review for the Quick Charge External Battery / Power Bank from TechMatte. I was provided a free item in exchange for my unbiased review that I post somewhere on the internet. Alas, here I am.
So, with this quick charger and my LG G4, it's pretty simple. I charge the quick charger (takes an hour or so to charge it up) and then I just plug my phone into it. It registers as fast charging, and I just let it go from there.
From almost dead, my phone charged to full in about an hour's time. The first half hour was the fastest-- it went from 10% to 60%, and then it slowed down a little.
I have been able to get 2 full charges on the power bank, and then I recharged it.
Pretty basic design; small for it's size. I can easily fit it in my purse, or if you're a guy, you could easily fit it in your pocket.
I would highly recommend check it out-- it's probably going to be a lifesaver for me in the future.
Thanks for the free sample!! BTW, I follow them on twitter-- they post stuff for free from time to time in exchange for a review (like this). It's totally worth it.
Thanks for reading, and patronize this company!

My wife has the G4, so perhaps we both can use it.

What model phone do you have? The Aukey brand quick chargers definitely did not work with my T-Mobile phone.
I saw this one on Amazon and it caught my eye because this smaller than every other 10000 mAh portable battery (who actually needs thst much juice?). I'd like something I could keep in my pocket without being so aware that it's there.

I have the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 battery. I got it on Amazon for about $25. It has a 5.2 amphour battery. It is tiny and it works well.
Using the Q-port I can charge my LG G4 from 15% to full in just over an hour. I 've also used it to charge my tablet, my wife's G3 and my daughter's Nexus 4. The standard port provides up to 2 amps which gives good charge times for any device that can use the extra power.
All in all, a nice, well made and handy device. Well worth $25

My wife has the G4, so perhaps we both can use it.

Alright, I have the charger. It takes a little longer than an hour to charge from like 20% to full. It's nice and small, and it seems like a good product. Both my S6 and my wife's G4 work well on it. It's a keeper!!

I have been able to get 2 full charges on the power bank, and then I recharged it.

Capacity of the power bank is 5600mah.
Two charges is 6000mah. you must have charged when battery was not flat

What model phone do you have? The Aukey brand quick chargers definitely did not work with my T-Mobile phone.
I saw this one on Amazon and it caught my eye because this smaller than every other 10000 mAh portable battery (who actually needs thst much juice?). I'd like something I could keep in my pocket without being so aware that it's there.

Its not 10000mah, its 5600mah.
As to why 10kmah is needed there is at least 25% efficiency loss. So your 10000mah is now 7000mah. Enough for two full charges. Whatever figure you see, knock 30% off of the main figure and depending on which brand maybe another 20%.

I meant OTHER power banks being 10000 mAh, not this one.
I still think 10000 is more than enough. Who needs 2+ full charges in a single day? Being able to top my phone off while in the office or being able to swap to a full battery, it's not even necessary for me to ever require a full charge. I like the idea of this particular charger because it can sit in my pocket and keep my phone topped off when not in use.

I don't see the need for a power bank at all when there is the option of replaceable batteries.
There is no need for a 2 charges in a single day unless you're into heavy gaming. otherwise its handy when you're away from a power source for more than a day.

it weighs as much as the phone. a spare battery is a fraction of that and would fit in your wallet.

I agree with you on that first point. I have a power bank, but haven't really touched it since I upgraded from the Nexus 5 to the G3 and still don't need it while I have th G4. I pretty much use it only to charge my spare G4 battery after I swap or occasionally charge my Nexus 7 when I'm carrying it and it's low charge.
I'm really into the idea of getting a power bank that is wireless charging compatible, though. Have my eye on one from Mugen. I like the idea of just keeping my phone in a pocket and it keeping a charge.

in a pocket means it will move around. these wireless chargers can be quite particular about positioning.
a wired power bank would be more reliable.
i like the idea of wireless charging on a flat surface and having a number of them around, unfortunately in the market where i live the dual sim G4 variant does not support it.

It would be a tight fit, though, not leaving much space to move around.
