Is the M8S battery compatible with the M8? - One (M8) Accessories

I still love my M8, and given that AT&T seems to have completely dropped HTC, I'm thinking of keeping it a while longer. However, the battery is beginning to flag, and I've contemplated attempting a replacement. However, I noticed that the M8S and M9 have very similar looking batteries, but with a slightly larger capacity (2840mAh vs 2600mAh). I'm wondering if the M8 can use this larger battery, given how similar they appear.
Has anyone tried it?
Also, has anyone tried the BinTek batteries? They appear to be "new" batteries, as opposed to the OEM batteries that are often as old or older than the original.
Thanks!

I will try to fit new m9 battery in my M8 tomorrow...

So how did it go?
Thinking of changing my old battery too and I'm curious if anything other than original will do and if m8 can even use the additional mAh.

Yes I did it. It is a same battery with more mAh. Working great

Amazing. Apps that display battery info still show 2600mah though, right?

Yes still 2600mAh in apps...

Awesome I will definitely be trying this on my M8.
Assuming I can find a seller who has reasonable shipping. E-trade is the only site I can find with M9 batteries, and they are quoting $60 shipping for a $7 battery!

Here I bought my batt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121970774107?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

And what do you think about a HTC 10 battery can be compatible with the HTC m8???

Yes !!! M8S battery is compatible with the M8

Qoestion about m8 battery
Plz help me

[Q] Gold battery 2430mAH...anyone tested it?

I've seen there are a lot of business/gold batteries on ebay, with 2430mAH...anyone has tested one of this? there are real benefit with this kind of battery??
Thanks.
i have it . works 1d9h and orginal bat works 26h not so better i expeckt better dan dit
I was looking around and saw those too. It would seem that the Mugen Power batteries still provide better life generally.
The claimed capacity is never the real capacity
Mugen is the best battery on the market, i think

I only know 1800mAh battery but this one is legit.
looking for a new battery for my Legend, any suggestions?
What is the best moneyworthy alternative out there, i lost the old one, so i just need a fairly good battery, and hopefully not less good than original, but better value for the money wouldnt be bad.
I suggest mugen
I uses this battery for about 4 weeks and it works great within this time but after round about 6 weeks the battery lifetime reduces to a minimum and at the end i only was able to use my legend for about 6 hours with about 70% of standby-time. I dont know if it was a manufactoring error or this battery is just crap? Meanwhile im using the original battery again...

Definitely the Wildfire. My friend had a Wildfire imported to Canada (stupid idea) and the battery I ordered works interchangeably between the two. Though he wasn't scared of the risks because it had printed Wildfire/Legend on the back of the battery. I'd imagine the HTC battery is at the very least similar.

I have one Gold battery and it work ok, is a good value to the money.
The battery I buy in webstore Pixinf can work more that 2 days and the original one only work less than one day.
Be carefull, I think some gold batteries are made on china (not in japan) and are copy ones (fake).

Extended Battery for US Android HD2 Owners

Apart from the OEM HTC Extended Batteries. Were can US users find a working Extended Battery. I have an eBay one but the battery life is similar to the 1200mah HTC battery.
Does anyone know if Leicke sells batteries in US?
And also... For anyone answering this. What kind of battery life do they actually give when compared to the original?
is no one using any other extended battery apart from OEM, Mugen and Leicke?

I think only Mugen makes an actual extended battery that fits the TMOUS HD2, which is larger than the Euro version. That battery is around $80 and has a "big hump" battery cover included.
Bump. sorry unable to delete

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the 1600mah Andida Battery for HTC HD2; mine lasted less than one month and now I am trying to get a replacement from the OBOstore
ugh... really need a good extended battery that's gonna give me more than 24 hours and doesn't cost like 60$ like Mugen
I get a good 20 + hours, With Moderate to Heavy Usage. Wifi on and or 4G.
WITH the original Battery.
i currently get about 20hrs with moderate use with stock and 41hrs with the ebay Chinese extended that doesn't get a proper battery level read. It gets stuck on 15% for like 10 hours which i didn't realize before.

I think there is some kind of Android thing where it won't charge unless the OS is running. I don't run Android myself on my HD2. But in any case you are going to need an external charger to get it going, or to flash back to WM to charge the battery.
hi, well, I have android OS running..
I have the OEM 1200 mah htc battery which charges and works perfectly fine...
Its the extended one that has problems and doesn't charge...
If anyone's interested, this website has extended batteries for $13.91.

Highest capacity of battery

Hi all,
I would like to buy a same size as ori battery with highest capacity available in the market now..
Anyone know where could I get it? What is the battery capacity? And lastly what is the price range? Thanks ya.. I'm searching for it as i donwan to charge my phone twice a day.. quite irritating..
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk
there are a few ebay sellers who sell the genuine htc battery. just search for "genuine htc ba s520" on ebay. most are based in uk. all around 15 - 20 gbp.
you will find several chinese aftermarket batteries claiming higher capacity than the 1450mah of the genuine battery, but beware. none of them (i've tested a few) actually last longer than the htc battery, in my experience. and i don't know if the quality can be trusted. they do cost a lot less than the genuine battery so it is a cheaper option.
u can try dc mugen
I want higher capacity battery so that my phone last longer between charging.. not HTC ori battery with same capacity.. thanks ya..

If it would be possible to put more capacity in the same size battery HTC would have done that from the start, you're only option is to get one of those fat 3500mah batteries from ebay with a thicker battery cover, i'm thinking of getting one of those, unfortunatly i can't put a silicon case around the phone then ...
is anyone aware which is better battery among the custom makers ?
Will be great if that is available in India .

It may be an HTC issue, like Windows, doesn't like hardware changes, it may be the rear case,who knows?
It's a thumping big thing, twice the size, but I only get about another half a day.....Whooopeee.
Thankfully it was only about five bucks.
Anyone have a similar issue ?

SEIDIO SUPER EXTENDED LIFE BATTERY FOR HTC INCREDIBLE S
extended battery/door
Thanks mate, I'll take a look.
I've been using the previously mentioned Mugen 3700 mA extended battery (larger, yes, but I'm used to it already) for 2.5 weeks now.
I've completed calibrating and conditioning the battery thru the 5 discharge cycles as instructed, followed by some of the lore I've sifted from xda. It's been useful.
I used to charge in morning and had to be careful not to use my phone too much and need to charge again in one day if I used it a fair amount. My incS was used, so stock battery probably had wear.
Now I get two full days of moderate-somewhat heavy use, and very far into the 3rd day if I use it just for (many) texts and a few short calls and it sleeps half the time or more.
E.g., charged before bed, sat unplugged during sleep, heavy use today (gps for 30+ min, browsing, texts) and 71% capacity as of now.

Good try! how much it cost?
That's meant so far no identical battery with longer battery life (i.e. last 1 whole day for moderate to heavy use)? sigh...

Stick to genuine HTC batteries. Most of the Ebay fakes are far lower quality and often are mislabeled (especially if it claims higher capacity in the same form factor).
Your phone should last at least 24 hours on one charge though (unless you're using it very heavily). Try changing your habits a bit (turning off data/wifi when not using it) and also maybe try a battery calibration. If you do a battery calibration make sure you read a few guides on google and do it properly otherwise you will most likely be worse off.
Some aftermarket hi capacity battery need a special battery cover which makes it very ugly
I bought the 3500 mAh battery with fat back cover (from Ebay). Its a chinese ****s production... We know that on our IncS the antenna is placed inside of back cover. This chinese cover has some antenna as well, but the signal is much worse. For example with original cover I get like 4 full bars. With chinese ****s cover I get only 2-3 bars.
Im already having troubles with the signal in some places, but with this cover it will be even worse.. So I stay with my original HTC back cover. Dunno what to do with this 3500 battery..
why don't you buy another stock battery ?
i think stock one is gd enough.
I think that MUGEN 3600mAh is optimal high-capacity battery on the market. Its stable and reliable...

Has any1 tried using Seidio batteries for Incredible S?
Apparently, they claim to use Lithium Polymer technology as opposed to Lithium-ion.
Wikipedia says Polymer is superior to ion but also more expensive.
Only mobile manufacturer known to supply phones with Lithium Polymer batteries is Sony Ericsson.
Seido 3500mAH battery for HTC Incredible S is on eBay for $69. It says its assembled in Taiwan? Its also not as FAT as Mugen's but still needs a back door, which is included. They also have a website.
Mugen might have a new, superior competitor.

[Q] Extended Battery

Hey, I was wondering if any of you have experience with some of the extended batteries available for the incredible 2/s. I know htc makes a official 2150mah one for the incredible 2 that would work but i was also considering the seidio innocell 3500mah one. Any thoughts?
I use a Mugen Power 1800mAh extended battery and I'll be honest, I'm not sure of I've seen that much of an improvement. Maybe an extra couple of hours? Up to you if you think it's worth the cost of buying one I guess.

i bought a 3500mah batt off ebay (not any major battery brand) for like 11USD $. It works great get around 5 days of life with it with wifi/mobile network on, except the signal strength dropped around 1-2bars, because the connectors arent the proper ones htc and other phones give you.
I bought the official htc oem 2150mah battery for the incredible 2 off of amazon and its been great! cost me 25 dollars and fits perfectly! Doesnt make the phone too big and almost doubled my battery life

[Q] HTC One M7 compatible batteries?

Hi everyone,
I've had my HTC One (M7) for a while now and I've noticed that the battery is slowly but steadily decreasing in strength/life. I know this is normal with any type battery, it doesn't retain its full capacity forever.
Anyway, I've been thinking about swapping out its battery, only I would like to put one in that has a greater capacity than the standard M7 one (2300 mAh). I've been thinking about something along 2800 mAh or so, which is what the M9 has, if I'm not mistaken. Would the M9 battery be compatible with the M7? Also, would batteries by any other manufacturer be compatible?

Greater capacity = bigger
Its not impossible but its hard to tell without having batteries and compares their size. If the replacement battery isn't the exact same size, it won't fit in the phone. If they have the same size then try it, as long as they are the same type battery and same nominal voltage. I remember someone successfully installed a One X+ battery in a One X (300 mAh gain). I wouldn't recommend to use other manufacturer batteries, only use original HTC parts.
Have you seen what is involved in getting to the battery anyway? (Hint: It's under the motherboard)
It is doable with a standard battery but you need to get a battery and a replacement back cover at the same time because your old cover will never be the same. Also be prepared for any number of problems because these are not easy to get right.
As far as a non-stock battery goes the stock battery leaves some empty space in its cover and an M8 battery might fit, bearing in mind that the M8 is a physically bigger phone .
To be honest I'd get a new M8 and sell the M7 rather than replace the stock battery, but if you must replace it have a professional do it.

Yes its not an easy task for everyone but many members did replace the battery successfully with the help of the "i-fixit" guide. Still much cheaper than buying a M8 (400$) even if you replace the cover assy. (12$ for the battery, 15$ for a new back cover). Worth trying before buying a new phone. Local repair shops can also replace the battery for much less (around 100$ parts + labour) than what a M8 or even a M7 cost.
Hi to all
someone have been able to replace the battery with the M8 battery?
