Hi guys, due the problem withe the OEM 1230mah Battery, i decided to buy a Non-OEM 1500mAh Battery for my HD7 (T-Mobile).
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160546276534
It fit perfectly my HD7 without having another "modded" backcover. But i have a question about charging this battery.
HD7 is designed for the 1230mAh battery, and you guys all know the phone must be turned on in order to charge the battery (because of Windows Phone 7 OS). So, it means, the OS controll how the battery would be charge(like when the power reach 1230mAh, the OS will stop the charging process? Is that right?). And my question is, if i charge this non-oem 1500mAh battery like an OEM one (leave the battery inside the phone and plug the charger in), can the battery be charged full to 1500mAh or it will be charged to 1230mAh only like a OEM one?
Sorry for my bad English. Thanks!

not necessarily, there are docks available that let you charge a battery separately maybe that would be of service to you?
Well, i might need it, and i may not. I did charge this battery like a normal way last night and this is the result.
I used the phone like hell today, and it did show me the red light and the warning messege about low battery (I was using it from 8 AM, and it did show me the red light on 2h30 PM). But then i kept listen to music for the whole 45 mins through my earphones, left it inside my bag when i was going to practice for whole 2 hrs, and then made 2 phone calls, one 3 mins and one like 10 mins and it totally ran out of power.
Using phone from 8h AM to 7PM, heavily 2G EGRPS Using, Web Browsing, games, no Wifi, no 3G, music all the way.
Normally, with the stock Battery, the phone would be dead by the afternoon, this thing do make the phone last longer, but not much. 1500mAh?, i don't think so, this thing should be around 1300mAh to 1400mAh.
Gonna Re-test tomorrow.
let us know...i'm interested in a backup battery...i used my phone today (browse web, text, and games) from 8am and by 2pm it was RIP....i really need a new battery
I tested it today again.
8:15AM : Removed from battery charger (Wifi Off, Bluetooth Off, 3G Off, EGRPS on, Silent, Automatic brightness)
Used for Web Surfing on EGPRS, Mail checking, Note taking, a little bit gaming, red light appeared by 1.30PM, and the battery still existed until 5PM (still listened to music, screen off)
And i am sure if you are a heavy user, this thing will help you extend the life-time of the phone pretty good. But you still need to recharge everynight. I think
i found this one online (HTC HD 7 T9292/ 1500mAh, standard battery 46.00USD), you can find here:

i'm skeptical on the ebay batteries...
Well, somehow, this battery does extend the life time of this phone, it work for me from the morning until the evening, when i have already been home, is not bad, and acceptable with the 4.3 inch Screen.
Pay $46 for it? i don't think it is a good idea either.
Quick update: After Post No-Do and No-Do update, i realize one thing, now the battey bar of Windows Phone 7 display correctly the amount of the battery i believe. Before both 2 update, the red light would be turned on by the phone way sooner than the actual point that the battery was nearly dead.
Yesterday at the baseball match, i used my HD7, listened to music "non-stop", volume = 18, through headset, screen turned off, from 10AM to 5 PM and the red light was not even on.
The other day I went and bought a USB micro cable for my phone, which was different from the original one provided in my phone's package.
I never used it to charge my phone's battery until 2 days ago, which in the morning I attached the cable to my AC Adapter charger and started charging my battery, that charged in an hour or so. I got somehow surprised because of the speed but I thought maybe I got carried away by work.
The amazing thing is it's been 2.5 days from then and my phone still has something around 15% battery charge on it.
Did anyone here ever charge the phone with any cable other than the one shipped in the package ? Or maybe come accross something like this ? Is it going to ruin my battery ?
I had a similar situation a few months back when my battery was out of juice for about 4 or 5 hours (it ran out in the afternoon and i couldn't charge until much later on that night). After I charged it over night i got about 2 days out of mine too.
Wp7 probably still lacks a consistent and accurate way of telling battery life, so the phone may show it is fully charged when it is not.
Ones i charge the phone 100% i then browse my photos and broawse apps... and suddently my battery is half empty in under 2 hours time... its strange. because im not playing games with it.
I can strech my batter put over 30 hours, but that with turning everything off, It would be interesting to know how you use it, and what you have installed and turned on or off.
I have 2 or 3 days battery life when the phone is on airplane mode. But less than 1 day with regular usage.
the problem is Radio in my opinion.
