Hi,
I got my 1340mah battery today and thought about making some pics to compare both batteries and back covers.
First of all, GPS receiving is just as good as with the original cover.
The new back cover isnt glossy anymore. I didn't clean my original back cover to show what the biiiiig plus for the new cover is.

Compared from the front
Here you can see that the new back cover is about 2,5mm thicker than the old one.
And this is what the phone looks like with the new back cover
I am up to some battery conditioning the next days and then hope that I will get 50% more battery life. Would make sense, though.
Let us know how long the battery life is!
Very nice pics. Thanks.
Does any e-store sells only the back 'non-glossy' cover?
Nice shots, thanks
How is the camera thru the deeper back cover?
Are there any cases or other protections devices that fit Diamond with bigger battery?
Have not seen any yet?
Camera Quality is about the same though the camera opening is bigger now. I will post my experiences with the battery life here when I unloaded and reloaded it some times. With 900mah battery and 15-20min phone, some sms and some playing around a day I got about 2,5 days with shutting the phone off at night. I expect about four days lifetime now and I would be very satisfied with this.
Where did you buy the battery and the case?
lets hope they make a ignito version!
yea dude..let us know where ya bought the battery and case!
I am from germany and they are available here now. I got it from cyberport.de for about 32 Euros including shipping.
very nice, is this htc pro original battery or another one?
You can get them from expansys in your country. Look for BP E270.
They really are good. It feels like a lot more than 50% extra power too - it's tough to make it go flat now, lol. For me the biggest plus is to be able to take it out all weekend and it makes the distance. The little bit extra size on the cover is nothing much at the end of the day and you get used to it quickly. Also as pointed out the material feels much better and doesn't leave prints everywhere.
Single best additional purchase I've made for my Diamond and I recommend it to all!

Oh yes it is. This third party batteries are real crap, they double the size of your phone and it's NOT possible to receive any GPS signal with these. Forget that crap.
And yes, this 1340mah is the original HTC battery - no problems with GPS
It's really tough to get the battery dead now, wasnt able to get it to shut off automatically yesterday evening, I got the battery very weak message and left GPS on, half an hour later I decided to go to bed and load it anyways because it didnt shut off from itself.
And about the weight? Is the difference noticeable?
well others say its noticeable... don't know maybe 20 grams?
would the non-gps 1800mah batter fit into this htc cover?
or any other ultra powerfull non-htc batter?
i really like the cover, but it can still be much better, there's still wasted space
I just got an extended 1800mah battery yesterday and as mentioned GPS is not available when using 1800mah battery, the signal seem to be not available with the 1800mah battery.
After I observe and try, i notice that the original 900mah battery can lost the signal too when we take off the back cover (you can see the signal drop in the GPS signal page) but when I put back the back cover the signal seem to be recovered. So conclusion is there must be something stick to the original back cover to enhance the signal reception strength for the GPS data. So I need some expert to help to solve the problem. I just wonder if we can just stick a piece of similar material in the 1800mah back cover and that will make the 1800mah battery function close to perfect (except the size).
Greattttt
Thanks fBx.. Very nice images and greaattt comparison.
I would like to know, do you feel battery life is increased by 50%?
Thanks a lot
I've had my Athena nearly 2 years now, with daily hard use. I'm surprised the factory battery has lasted this long, but I've noticed over the last month or two that it was going downhill quickly. In the last week it has finally fallen off a cliff - it will say 100% charge but 5-10 minutes of web surfing and it will just shut off, no warning.
Time for a new battery. I'm sure some of you are due for one, too.
I looked around the net and I see 2 or 3 shops selling a battery for about US$20, and in one case they even claim its a smaller (capacity) battery than the factory one. Plus shipping. Ouch. So, I found a supplier on Ebay that was advertising them for under US$10 - with free shipping and the same capacity as the factory battery. I ordered 2 and I'll post later to let you know how they seem to hold up.
Anyone else find a good source?
Hi
I must say I've already had the same problem and am now quite happy with an ebay battery. seems not really worse than the htc one. There is one disadvantage, though. The pin that holds the battery in place breaks usually after one,two months of usage. Recently I had to make a replacement one using a copper wire - works pretty well.
I'll be sure to keep the pin from the original battery in case this happens.
Hi there ,
Try pm asking bradaland from usa , he seems to get a few advantage batteries at a very good deal in usa . But make sure those pins you are talking about is made of steel and not black plastic - some manufacturers produced oem batteries with plastic pins - it will break after a few times you slot in and out the battery , watch out ! Thks for reading - cheers - jimmunsw
Anyone notice the battery door will not fit (slight bulge in the middle of the door) with after market batteries? Even making sure the pin is locked into the hole the top part of the bracket seems to be sticking up to far. I even swapped out the metal pin from the original battery and still fits poorly.
Anyone have this happen ..and anyone have a solution? I just don't want to break the door tabs.
The new batteries arrived today, two of the ones available on ebay right now (7 left last time I checked). They are marked identically to the original battery, with metal pins. I'll charge the first one tonight and let you know how it holds up in the first few days.
Hi Could you update us with the performance of your new battery if possible?
A link would be very helpful also or the name of the shop that you have bought it.
I have to change battery also and your experience can be helpful.
So far both batteries are functioning normally. I haven't done any hard testing to see if they last as long, but under normal use they are fine. I bought them from user "bestseller2628" on ebay. Note: these are definitely Chinese knock-offs. BOTH batteries I bought arrived with an identical serial number sticker! But I expected that for something that cost half of what other dealers were asking (and since the batteries ship from Hong Kong).
Got an extra batt
I bought an extra battery 3 months ago from a battery replacement shop (for pda,cameras,mobile phone etc.) in my area...I was surprised that they have one, 'cause there may only be roughly around 5-10 HTC Athena units/owners in our country (seen two brandnew units for sale, two used units for trade/sale, and known 2 other owners, total of 7 confirmed units in the country) ...
It has a metal pin and though it's only 1800mAh, with normal use it lasts a day and a half...
Good thing was it had a 3-month replacement warranty and worth only $16...

Hello
I bought recently 3 batteries from ebay, 2200 mAh with plastic pin. Its work fine, like an original battery, but for very little money. The plastic pin was broken inmediately, but I can to extract it perfectly. I also bought a wall charger. I can charge the batteries without the pda.
Yes her:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/stdcapacitybattery/standard-capacity-battery-htc-x7500_2722.htm
Boxwave 2000 mAh
or
http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/
Mugen 2400 mAh
Don't buy Cameron Sino. ****.
Anything higher then 2200mAh ? Time is critical...
While searching for a suitable spare battery for my hd2, I came across the official extended battery from HTC - hadn't seen any feedback from the forums so thought I'd post it here.
Search for it on the HTC accessory store (sorry, I can't post links as a newbie).
2300 mAh [good]
Has a stand [probably good]
Not due till 5th April [bad]
Costs 50 british pounds!!! [bad]
It sure is ugly [really bad]
I dunno if I'm gonna bother waiting - for that price, I can buy about 10 cheapy standard batteries on ebay.
Too expensive for what it is... why don't you simply buy 2 other extra batteries on ebay for 10 USD for one... much more better alternative no ?
well standerd is 1230mAH and i just bought a 1600mAH battery from ebay for £5.99... will see how it goes when it arrives but imo its not worth £50 for the official extended although it does include the back panel (pictures of it are in another thread)
I emailed HTC about the official battery as I need a decent extended battery with 2x capacity rather than a 1600mah or so (although I ordered one of them of ebay the other day!).
They said they still can't confirm when it'll be ready - most sites are expecting it in April just now.
There will be an HD3 before it arrives!!
i bought the extended 2680mah with back extended battery from my vodafone (germany) shop...normally it costs 69,90 euro - we will see if its worth
Photos! And we need a proper review!
dang, thats one expensive battery.

i found a quiet good alternative in the neofree 4400 mAh battery . when i need the extra power i put the usb cable to my hd2 and thats it. the neofree is the reason why i stoped buying extra batteries for my devices. no more nonfitting cover/cases and blown up pockets .
regards mad
This is way bigger than i thought at first...Damn that is HUGE !! I am not as concerned about the form factor of the phone as i am of dropping the phone with that huge extra mass on it...broken screen for sure (i don.t expect to fit in any case - other than a tent )

Thats a shocking price for a battery, though i would certainly be interested in a kick stand battery cover for the standard battery.

That's an interesting alternative that I didn't even think of.
I don't care the size of the extra batterry. It's uglier, yes, but it's more funcional.

I ordered it, waiting April for delivery.
I prefered an ugly back phone that to be constantly wired to something and get stressed by that!
I too find they've done a great job with the extended battery and cover.
Stop dreaming, an extended battery will always be bigger and thus will stick out, no way around that... there's no point in offering an extended battery with 20% more capacity that fits in the normal volume. If you want an extended battery it's to have at least twice the capacity...
But at least they keeped it quite stylish with a suitable metal cover and not some cheapo piece of plastic. The stand is awesome for video/GPS, which are the main reasons you'd use an extended battery for...
On no phone is an extended battery an accessory meant to be nice looking and/or for everyday use. You put it in when you expect you'll need a lot of juice, like travelling...
For everyday use I just keep a second standard battery in my bag, in case I need it, which normally doesn't happen.

Sometimes I look at eBay for batteries, even though I know they're pretty much all imported garbage (and who knows how many peoples' water supplies are being tainted by industrial chemicals to produce this cheap ****). I am lured by high capacity and "USA FAST SHIP" slapped all over the product pictures. Regardless, it seems that recently these sellers have gotten a bit more ballsy and have decided to be honest about their products... kind of.
Here are the most recent batteries that have somehow floated to shore from our friends in the far east (along with screenshots):

Even they are borderline sketchy.
To be honest, I bought this exact battery the first week I got my phone on launch day (first link) except it was a package of 2 batteries and an external charger for $10 and free shipping. Best decision I made. They last about 12 hours on moderate use for me. I'd rather carry around an extra battery than shell out $50+ for seidio.. until you try it, don't automatically assume it's not worth the $3 because I use it every day.
I think you are all missing the point...
They don't specify an exact mAH number rating. They specify a range from 500 to as low as 1000 and as high as 1600.
The fact that three different vendors all sell the same battery with the same ad copy with the same pictures but wildly different power ratings positively screams "avoid at any cost" in your face.

I bought the same thing. I'm sure most people that visit Android blogs did as a few endorsed/advertised it.
Eh I got one battery and an external charger shipped for about $5. Sure it doesn't last as long as an OEM battery but hey, for the price of a fast food meal I got an extra battery that I can pop in to my phone in a crunch. I use the OEM battery mostly and then I have this one when I need it. I wouldn't recommend using it as a main battery though. Just my thoughts

What's so sketchy about Seidio?
They make quality products. I bought one of their slim extended batteries for the DInc - works like a charm. I can get through a full day with heavy usage and still have 20-30% life left over. Granted, I use SetCPU to adjust my CPU speeds - which greatly helps improve my battery life.
But I've bought many products from Seidio - cases, batteries, charges - none have ever failed me.
What was your bad experience with them?

Seidio's been good to me also, I'm running the 1750mah battery and I certainly can't complain. I also have the Innocase Rugged which offers great protection, albeit I use just the inner Innocase most of the time, it's nice to have the option.
I bought one of these, came with two batteries and a charger. can't beat the price. I just peeled the sticker off that surrounds the battery and replaced it with scotch tape (to make it thinner). it's barely thicker than the stock battery and last at least as long. cheap chinese. whatever, but $10 for two spares and a charger is an amazing bargain.
(can't post the link, but I got the htc my touch slide 1500mah batteries and charger from china. on ebay).
I bought a cheap chinese 3500mah battery on Ebay from a guy in hong kong, and it doubled my battery life for 10 bucks.

Their products suck. The 1750 battery lasts 3/4 as long as my stock battery, and the innocase ii peeled and scratched the sides of my phone

Seidio's batteries from those tests ranged from 79% to 82% of their rated capacity.
OEM batteries ranged from 96% to 100%.
The OEM EVO 4G 1500mAh battery fits in the Incredible and has a very, very, very high likelihood of last just as long, if not longer than, a Seidio 1750mAh.
That is what's sketchy about Seidio.
Honesty is best, but,,,,,
,,,but business is in it to make money. I have not bought any knock off batteries, but I do not understand why they can not be as good. We know that HTC probably is not in the battery manufacture business, they must have someone make them for them. Would it not stand to reason that if discovered the company that makes the good ones for HTC could sell them to us. Or think about this, maybe they get them from China too from the same places on the net but the Chineese test them all and sell the best testing ones to HTC, they would not throw away batteries they have made and sealed and have money tied up in so they put the crap ones on the net for sale,,,,,just a thought;-)
I bought one from Ebay and am quite happy with it.
It cost me $0.01 loll plus 10.99 shipping from hong kong I guess.
Ebay 1 penny battery
It works great.. Not exactally DOUBLE the life of the OEM battery but pretty darn close.
Here is a tip I read online and IT WORKS AMASINGLY for my DINC.
When you get up in the morning, unplug your phone from the charger and shut it down.. then when its OFF,, then plug the charger back in for 30-60 minutes or so while you take a shower or eat breakfast or whatever...
It makes my battery last MUCH MUCH LONGER..
Now I am wondering if there is some type of program that will automate this for me? I noticed though, when you leave the charger plugged in and shut the phone down,, it doesnt reset the charging cycle.. The Light stays green and doesnt charge.
Anyone know of an app that will shut my phone down at a predetermined time?
Is anyone making a Battery Case for the Nexus 5X
Like Mophie powerskin etc.

I can technically get 4 hours SOT too but only if I leave the brightness at like 10%, stay on wifi the whole time, don't do anything more power intensive than browsing and stay in an area that has excellent cell reception and even then it's dead like 10-12 hours after I take it off the charger.
If I do anything that is even moderately power intensive like video(streaming or local), music(streaming or local), GPS, any games(even simple ones), go somewhere without wifi, increase brightness, etc then it's dead much sooner.

That's crazy. I use my phone quite often. GPS and WiFi always on. I think this battery is almost as good as my OPO which had the best batter I've ever had. I used it aggressively and averaged 5-6 SOT.

I feel like this phone has no margine for error. You need a really good signal, h+, perfect parts, ect to get 5-6 hours of SoT. The battery feels like an afterthought to the design. I too can manage that SoT but it's heavily babying the phone, turning off things, running custom scripts ect.
Back on the subject at hand . I too would pay for one. Just for the peace of mind. Also it's a small phone so an extra 800mha battery wouldn't make it too bulky imho.
Any word on a battery case?
I'm surprised there still isn't a battery case released. I realize the 5x may not be the most popular of nexus devices but given the somewhat limited battery capacity of the phone I would think there would be a decent roi for a companyvlike mophie or mugen.
5x battery case mostly likely has been delayed due to the new type C port.
I'm my opinion no one probably wants to invest in the type c and rather reverse engineer the product after someone else has done the hard work. ROI is there but it's always a gamble to be the first. I would easily pay over $100(even $200 for really nice, evenly balanced battery back,fast charge, dare i say +12,000mAH) but not everyone is in the same boat as me.
I don't know why I'm so interested in this, because the battery already lasts longer than my previous phone... But I would love to have one.
I for one would like a battery case that adds Micro SD support
If only this took off... https://www.kickstarter.com/project...only-microsd-expandable-phone-c/posts/1396276
Yeah I saw one of those... Pretty neat idea for adding storage. A battery + storage + Qi case would be sweet eh?

I wonder if another possible issue contributing to the lack of battery cases is the location of the fingerprint sensor. A lot of people like having the fingerprint sensor on the back but it probably creates a problem for battery case makers.
I don't know if non-rectangular batteries are possible, but assuming they're not all the extra battery would to be stuffed into the bottom of the case, and then the case would need to taper its bulk to a thin point where the finger print sensor is. It might end up looking weirder than the iPhone battery case, and probably would lead to a poorly balanced phone.
Either that, or just completely cover the fingerprint sensor with battery.

Why bother?
I am just using (or rare occasion), Kingston Mobilelite Wireless G2 as powerbank and storage (via WIFI).
looking into a new phone i happened across the 5x, it seems great all over EXCEPT the lack of aftermarket battery options, especially annoying since the 5x's battery life is panned just about everywhere
if i could work with a phablet i'd use a nexus 6 or 6p (the 6p already has a big aftermarket) but...those are just too big
Sooo im thinking about making one. I did that in my old M7 days and it worked well. You take a huge 2-3 layer case and cut it out and insert the battery pack. The question is does anyone know of a thin wallet sized usb c power bank? Can't seem to find one on Amazon...
