How many mAh is the original?
Does this battery require a new backing?
The stock battery is 1500 mah.
It uses the original back.
thats pretty cheap.
ships in 12 days thogh
is anyone using this battery ??
will HERO last one full day (lets say 14h) on it ? without switching off 3g,automatic updates etc ?
hell i ordered one, i had a few hours OT this week haha
I bought one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190309433477
and I bought a couple extra standard batteries with a external charger.
They work great!
It is cheaper than the 1750mAh battery from seidio.
Has anyone in the past used a battery from Mugen Power? Wondering if it's any good. I've used batteries from Seidio and worked out very good. Just debating if I should save a few bucks by buying the Mugen Power battery over Seidio
I used a battery from mugen when I had my ppc-6600 and I was satisfied with it. I haven't used any lately.
I got mine this morning and I can honesty say that I already notice a difference and I haven't gotten the battery cycled yet. I'm also a heavy user.

Yep. Usually if I took my Hero off the charger at 8am, it would be dead around 2. With this new battery, it lasted 12 hours on the first charge. Also, it completely charges from dead to 100% very quickly.
And like I said, I'm a heavy user.

I'll presume you're talking about the Mugen battery -- if that's the case, it's also the one I bought. However, I don't know if I'm seeing the results I should be. How did you go back conditioning your battery? I know the standard is to let the new battery charge for 12 hours -- use until almost dead and repeat this step for a couple of days.
Also, since using the new battery, I've also cleared the battery stats via recovery, but for some odd reason, the moment I take my phone off the charger -- (7:15 A.M) about 5 minutes after, my battery already says that's its at like 95%. Now it's 8:22 and my battery reads 87%.... that just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
I'm a pretty moderate/heavy user -- text a lot, have at least probably one or two 30 minute calls a day, use the web quite often, and I have FB & TechBuzz pulling every 2 hours. I sometimes wonder if my regular (1500 mah) battery was better?
EDIT:: It's now 11:36 and my battery is at 81% -- so things actually seem to be okay. However, I still can't get over why my battery would initially lose 15-18% of power within what looks like to be the first hour.
EDIT Again:: It looks like I'm finally getting the results I was hoping. It's now 9:20 -- and my battery is at 49%, which is extremely good. Usually the standard battery by now would be at 10-15%. Satisfied so far!
I have the same battery and mine shows 100% out of the charger, and down to 87% in an hour with very little use. Its the Mid power curve thats the long life of the 1800 Mugen battery, at least for me. Drops off fast from 100 to mid 80's and then seems like it reads 70-50% forever. I actually have to turn on alot of resources to get the battery level down low enough to recharge properly. I still like to charge when only about 20% or less is left in the battery, or when the "Warning, Plug your phone into your Charger" comes on. Reminds me of Robbie the Robot warning from Lost in Space, "Warning, now generating 100,000 Volts" lol.
Anyway, I didn't see much difference at first but afer a few charge/discharge cycles you will. To prove it, go back to your stock battery to see the difference.
Regards,
I bought the Mugen 1800 today with code 5off2010

There was some some sort of notice during the ordering process that some people have trouble receiving their packages and that is this happens to you that you should contact them and they will re-ship.
Speaking as someone who uses their phone pretty darn constantly, I'm in need of a battery that lasts a bit longer than the stock.
currently, Seidio is selling an extended battery (I would link, but as a noob I'm not able to..) 1750 mAh - no new door required, but only a gain of 450 mAh..
Verizon has stated there's a 2150 mAh extended battery coming, but that will almost certainly require a new back plate.
Anyone spotted any other compatible batteries yet?
I ordered the Seidio one and while it fits behind the stock cover it also adds a bit of weight, which is great considering how light this bad boy is.
Seidio is also going to release a 3500 mAh battery in the near future! According to their website, it adds 3-5 mm of width. But for the extra battery I think it will be worth it. The only problem is I am debating on purchasing this because I had one for my tilt and well it flat out sucked after a month of use.
what do you mean it flat out sucked after a month, the thickness or the capacity of the battery?
The battery itself would barley last a day if I was lucky. Seidio just said it needed to charge like 8 times before it was full. It didn't kick in. Is this rare?

Did you let it fully drain till the phone died, and keep turning the phone on until it wont turn on anymore. Then charge it fully, unplug when it is fully charged, let it get back down to 90-95%, then fully charge again, let die & repeat. Do that a few times and your battery life should be better. This is what I do whenever I get a new phone...
We use LiION Batteries, No special charging required
OK, to start, there is NO NEED to do any special charging conditions with Li Ion batteries, it does not matter how they are charged. A standard battery will have between 400 and 1200 charge cycles before it loses 50% of its capacity (1200 if you charge at 50%, 400 if you charge at 0-10%, like when the phone quits on you). Ni Cadmium on the other hand does require special charging situations but we don't use them in cell phones because of the mass. You can do take the advice of the previous post, but if you do that I would suggest sacrificing a virgin symbian phone or doing a handstand while plugging in your phone to charge. That might increase the battery life too.
Secondly, I spoke with Verizon, and their 2100 mA extended battery will be available soon and it is supposed to fit with the stock backing, probably the best way to go if you ask me, only $60 too. I am checking their site almost daily waiting for this to become available since like many, I need more battery life, I find that I can barely make it through the day without being conservative with the use, and that's on a work day when I'm not on it that much, on the weekends I have to charge it in the afternoon.
If you want to save on battery, turn down the screen brightness, chose a background with as few colors as possible, the more black the less battery you will use since its an AMOLED, blacks mean there is no power being used on the screen. Turn off your GEO locations services both on the phone settings and in programs that run a lot. This will easily save you 25-30% battery life.

I was at a Verizon store yesterday asking about it and they showed me their documentation. Their extended battery will come with a new back cover that is slightly raised to fit the larger battery.
I'm waiting for this too because it looks like it will be the most aesthetically pleasing option.
Too bad the guy had NO idea when the accessories were going to become available. Ugh.

Verizon doesn't trust their employees very much - to prevent leaks, they don't tell people about equipment/accessory release dates til within about two weeks of the actual release. The Incredible launch announcement had one of the longest announcement to release times I've seen the the last two years.

$14.99 + free shipping for a battery that lasts all day from moderate use? This sounds great and I'm ready to buy it now! ... But is it safe to use this battery with an Incredible?

I dont know, but my seideco 1750 def gets me 3 more hours a day on my Incredible. I have switched back and forth from stock and the extended...the extended wins EVERYTIME...so Im not sure about that report.
@ suzook
I read that my OEM TP2 rated as one of the best.
TP2 OEM standard issue Rated @ 1500mAh Tested @ 1414mAh
Most Likely our stock incredible battery has a lower mAh then it actually states it is.
@ Xxq TZ pxX
Yes it will work because its in my phone now working like a champ ;O)
I also told someone else here like myself who swapped from the tp2 ====> incredible and he seen it first hand as-well.
TP2 batteries work fine
Hey all,
The TP2 battery works fine. Same size and 200mAh more than stock... in fact I've seen them sold on Fommy.com as the thin extended battery for $44.95. Don't be fooled, and just go buy the TP2 batteries. They're cheaper if you don't need the therapy session of a rebranding.
Enjoy!
P.S. Got a workaround for Skype too...
I'm sure a number of HTC CDMA phones have interchangeable batteries.
I swapped out the 1500mAh battery from my Sprint Hero and put it into my Incredible. It's easily out lasting the stock incredible battery.
I ordered the 1500 HTC battery as well. Between those to staying charged I am not worried about it.
Also anyone know of a battery charger for these types of batteries?
For those of you that want a red 1500mah battery I found this but im not sure if its oem or not it just says its an htc extra capacity battery hxxp://shop.htcpedia.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=825
Anybody know if this "HTC HD2 Extended Media Battery + Battery Cover BP E400" is going to fit/compatible with T-mobile htc-hd2?

LOL that thing is huge!! It doesn't look that comfortable. I just bought a second battery as a back up. I figure that since I am pulling out my battery to reset the phone once or twice every day that I would make sense to have a fully charged battery in case I was low on juice or something.

anyways you should take a look at ZAGGsparq™ Portable charger

Does the kickstand feel pretty sturdy? And, does it "snap" into fully-open/fully-closed positions, or does it travel freely between them?
Does anyone have any news on when the extended life SLIM battery will be released, either by SEIDIO or MUGEN POWER? I'd like more battery life but not that huge back.
*EDIT* Found one from Mugen Power.. only and extra 70 mAh.. not sure if it's worth it but I might buy.

i heard that HTC HD2 Extended Battery BP E400 will not fit HD2 TMOUS version very well and i am looking for someone to confirm this for me ?
Well im bored in my class. So i guess, ill write up this review.
First off, I purchased andida battery off ebay, and is a very well known, i believe korean battery maker. It took two weeks from Hong Kong for me to receive the battery. Second, i did proper break-in for the battery, about 5-6full charge & discharges. The OEM battery barely lasted the entire day for me, i disconnect from the charger at 9 A.M., and by 8:30, im at 1%!! With the new battery, the same goes, but by 8:30, im at 15%, and will die by about 10ish. I have the phone set for push email, and the bulk of my email comes in about between 10am & 2pm. The Sense updates are set to 4 hour updates & im constantly connected to 3G. The phone never sees a charger in between 9AM & 10pm. Hopefully this sheds some light about this battery.
Reply: No memory loss. mAh, see below.

I'm using the 2600mah Mugen extended battery and I gotta say its a huge improvement. I work 10 hour shifts and I use to leave work with only about 30-20% left and now I'm at 65-70% at the end of shift. I use it as a router a couple times a day, listen to a couple songs, and look stuff up online. I was real timid about using my phone at all cuz it would kill my battery, but now I have no problems with heavy usage. It does take a couple charges to really unlock the batteries full capacity.

Ordered the same battery. Have had it about a week and a half, and I'm only by my third charge. The only complaints I have so far are the 4-5 12 hour charges that the instructions say you should do initially (thankfully I only have 2 more charges to go); and the battery cover included is flimsy. It pops off with the slightest touch. Might be just a defect on mine, but maybe others can confirm this. Good thing I had another cover that stays on.
Mugenpower extended battery case
Has anyone ordered the mugen power extended battery case. Imwondering if it will fit tmobilehd2 due to the slight difference in size. I know that a lot of us are looking for a case for an extended battery. It's avail. At mugenpower.net
Are there any batteries for the DINC that are the size of the original but have a higher capacity (if thats the proper wording for it)?

I have seen those reports too, don't believe everything you read.
I had a Touch Pro 2 before this and the standard battery was a 1500mAh. I had the Seido 1750 for it and it was a lot better than the original battery.
When I got my Dinc I was using the stock TP2 battery for a while and then I bought the Seido 1750 for it as well. I have no regrets, in my opinion it is a lot better than the 1500mAh battery.
The way my phone is set up and the way I use it, with the original battery I could rarely make it through a full day without having to charge it.
With the 1500 by the end of the day I was about done (anywhere from 15% to 25% remaining.
With the Seido at the end of the day I have between 30% and 40% remaining.

I bought the battery mentioned in this thread and have been getting great battery life. Right now I am at 21 hours with about 17% left. Prior to this I was unrooted and having to recharge every 8 hours on the stock battery. Definitely recommend it but the best improvement to my battery life occurred after I rooted.

Flip it over and squeeze along the edges, working from the camera end to the bottom, making a firm connection as you work down the edges. After a few times things settle in and closing the back is no challenge at all.

I bought this battery a couple weeks ago and it pretty much crushes the stock battery. It costs more than the one on amazon but its great. Quick shipping too.
Yesterday I Got my mugen 1800 mAh (original size) battery.
WOW!
Allmost 7 hours passed right now, doing what I always do (phonecalls, push email etc) and still 87% battery left!
The original battery was really OK (about 20/24 hours) to be honest, but this is much better
Your phone battery percentage, wont be calibrated for the new size in battery so you must have just used your phone less than you usually do. With extended battery, the percentage rate goes down to 1% just as fast as your old battery, but when its gets to 1 your battery just keeps going until it runs out.
You maybe right, but I just had the bluetooth and wifi on for the whole tima, made a few phonecalls and data push as always:
Running for more than 12 hours, percentage left is 61

do you use any of the built in power conservation features, or apps maybe? I don't get that kind of performance with my 1800. Did you do the requisite 5 day 8 to 12 hour charges religiously?
The only energy saving thing I use is the automatic display brightness (android stock). Today I used the phone more intensive and after 10 hours still got 70% batt.
I only charge the phone when I go to sleep, for about 7/8 hours.
Im really happy with the new batt

Mine is not so good - with medium usage it barely survives working day...
I have gmail sync all the time and do not use wifi

Its strange how varied people's streak battery lasts. I use mine quite a bit, like listen to music and surf the internet and text for half and hour to and from work, then same for my half hour break and for my hour break at lunch, so that's 2 and a half hours of music net texting sometimes gaming also. And when I put it on charge before I go to sleep its normally over 50% everyday, it just about lasts 2 days doing the same thing on my breaks and on way to work. But normally charge it everyday just incase that's pretty good battery life I think. Might get one of these extended batteries. Really thinking about the massive 4800 one, but would like to see and hold it with it inbefore I bought it, but don't know anywhere that sells them where I live.
I had one of those 1800 mAh batteries too but it gave me worse performance than stock. I returned it. I dont know what was wrong.

the varied performance might have a little bit to do too with how many and what kind of apps are installed on a given device. I know I have a whole heap of stuff that I really have no serious need for, but see running in the background every so often doing what they do. I used to freeze them because I want to keep them, but don't necessarily want them right away.
I've done away with all that now though. Bought an Atrix with a 1930 Mha battery. Love the Streak as I did, I can now once again operate my phone with one hand again.
I am currently waiting on the mugen 1800 Mah battery and I am also testing the 4800 Mah battery really large but I use my Streak alot at work for calls, SMS, email exchange (Moxier Mail) photo's, internet and also reading books etc...
The most I got from my stock battery was 15 hrs 45mins that was due to forgetting my charger, I had about 12% left once I finally got home...
I will be doing reviews at Mobilitysite.com...

Mugen 1800mAh Extended Battery
Hi all well I have been testing the 1800mAh battery and completed my review at MobilitySite.com, if any one is interested they can view it at the link below. The one benefit of the 1800mAh battery is that it is the same size as the standard 1530mAh battery so no new battery cover.
Mugen 1800mAh Battery Review.
Currently now using and testing the 4800mAh battery... WOW! just love it only been using it for about 5 days got 40 hrs the other day, currently at 62% now and it has been off the cradle since 6:43am and it is now 8:24pm - almost 14 hours.
It is big but for me thats fine, I will be completing another review this weekend with photo's.
Cheers guys...
Is there any car mount that fits the Streak with the 4800 battery?
Hey people
If anyone is interested I have just posted my review on the MUGEN 4800mAh battery just click the review image in my signature.
Really liked the battery was excellent got up to 40 hours before I had to charge again, size was large but still easy to use, just wish there was a case that would fit it.
Cheers
Really like that review. I'm actually in the process of getting one of these batteries for my Dell Streak. The original battery in my phone overheated and isn't holding a charge very well after that incident. So I am getting the 1800 mAh battery.
Looks like it is going to take awhile as it is taking the long way from China to the US but, after reading that, I'm pretty convinced that it will be worth it. I will update when I recieve it.
