anybody try this incredible battery?

http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=952&t_mode=des

Yes, me. Yesterday was PDA-XMAS for me :lol:
Bought this Battery ( just in one word: WONDERFUL ) and my external keyboard.
The only thing what i have to do now is to create a small leather pocket for the keyboard and the extra battery to fit on the throwsers :shock:
This battery can also be recharged seperately in the cradle without the XDA II.
Cheers,
Scorpion

Normally after watching movies ( 320 x 240 ) with full speaker sound the XDA Battery went down after one movie ( around 1 and a half hour ) with that battery you can watch almost the whole night
Because of that i was using the headphones earlier to save battery power - this is now obsolete.
However, this is maybe a stupid question, but does anybody know if there does exists some kind of portable solar energy recharger ? It would be good if the empty battery could be recharged during the usage of the 2nd battery without any 110/220V recharging modul. ( Even if it takes some time longer )
Cheers,
Scorpion

That sure is one expensive battery :shock: One could probably buy 3 XDA II batteries

Scorpion...
This isn't that oversized, bulging battery that comes with a special backplate is it? I can't tell from the picture... The picture seems to imply it's the same dimensions as the standard XDA battery. Is it? Ie, will it simply pop in as a replacement, without requiring a special/new battery backplate?

Poporta PDA Extended Battery (XDAII) 2600mAh
I have one simple question about this battery. Does it fit in the standard himalaya battery place under the backplate or does it add to the volume of the device? I don't want to have a enormous thing in my pocket.
Thanks !

This website sells it cheaper and said something about comes with back cover.

More news on that battery: It's probaby the same as the topic, which means it comes with a bulge on the back cover. Too good to be true as a slim 2600mAh.

ebay.com!
You still can have an original battery. Just go to ebay.com and search for "st26 battery" in "Cell Phones & PDAs". You'll find several options from $3 to $12 + shipping. I bought a couple this way and am happy now. Just look for original Celxpert or Sanyo brand (ST26B or ST26C). Don't buy cheap fakes labeled Samsung (ST26A). They cost the same but have less capacity.
In addition you can buy an external charger - it's very comfortable if you have more than one battery. And there are also high capacity batteries about twice of the original. They come with a spare cover because they won't fit in the phone with the old one. I can't say anything about this one.
Good luck and long live Tornado!

Those battery seems too cheap, do you trust them?

[QUOTE Don't buy cheap fakes labeled 2Samsung (ST6A). They cost the same but have less capacity.[/QUOTE]
thanks but before buy it (Samsung (ST6A)) and capacity is very low abut (12 hr) what solution for increase capacity Samsung ?(ST6A) . i buy it about 15$

karhoe,
I have one battery of all three types I've described. Well, the Celxpert was new and the best of all - absolutely the same as original. Sanyo was of the same manufacturing quality and capacity, although looked a bit used. 'Samsung' was made of poor quality materials, was not exactly rectangular and it is definitely not Samsung at all, just a fake.
The first two last almost 24 hours (I listen MP3s for 1 hour a day, make 5-8 calls, sometimes use Opera Mini). And the 'Samsung' one now doesn't even last 12 hours.
BTW, I use one of the latest WM6.1 Standard ROMs, they are all pretty 'hungry' for energy. When I tried WM6.1 Pro and WM6.5 they seemed to work noticeably longer.
smoma,
I don't think there's a way of considerable increase in capacity since it is a hardware problem. You can just use it until it dies, just have a spare one with you.

i really need this instruction
help me please

Bro, I am back and have read your PM
My battery is completely debranded (means that "A mobile techie did the job for me. As far as I know he shown me sanyo battery case (perfect for tornado) then he ripped off a nokia's battery cells and made a custom battery for me). My problem of battery charging is solved since I am using 1A charger from now on
NeHow, What u really need is "mAH rating of battery", Battery voltage that is required (i think its minimum 4volts and as per required (I dunno what is the ower rating of official battery and i am too lazy to google for it lol)
As my celetask shows:
Tick Count: 23:39
Main Battery 91% (charged it about 17 hours before, and I have used about an hour of wifi on that)
Voltage: 3942mV ~ 4Volts
Curent: 122mA
A battery rating of more than 1000mAH is fair for gud battery backup. As a consequence the charging time is taken as far more. Since a higher mAH battery requires a Higher mAH adapter too
i-e 1000mAH battery requires 1A current for an hour to fully charge orr vice versa
I really catn help in ripping the battery since there is some battery cells ripping is involved which that mobile techie is afraid to leak out. I asked him again after reading ur PM
P.S you can check the market out for custom made batteries on above criteria
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DEMAGE TO YOUR PHON REGARDING THE RIPPING OF UR BATTERY

Best 6.1 rom and battery combination

Hello I have searched the threads looking for a rom and radio which will allow me to reach a full day's use or more using my extended battery. I have my unit set to download rss feeds every 15 mins as well as emails. Of course it will be running software such as SPB shell which will be updating the weather as well. So far with the current 6.1 rom which I am running along with radio 1.18 the unit doesn't seem to hold a candle to this use. I have read in other threads of the 1.18 radio being the best just would like to know which is the latest 6.1 with the best battery consumption. All help is appreciated in advance

On my personal experience
Toml 8.2, 8.5 and 8.9 are very god stable ROM´s with great battery life
Test them all and decide for yourself!

Hey I am at work at the moment during a flashing to radio 1.18 I lost all my info on the device (I didnt read the instructions had my sd card in slot (long story)). Anyhow was wondering what was on average your usuage and consumption of battery. I am debating buying a bigger battery (bigger than the one I have) which I am eyeing on Ebay. As you can tell I can't wait to have my unit flashed and with a reliable battery life. I just recieved the phone and love it just hate carrying around a charger

When I was using the recommended ROM´s my battery life was aprox of 1 day and a half using:
1hr WIFI
2hr Bluetooth
A lot of calls
With my original battery from 2005.
I would not buy a bigger one, Unis is big enough to put a bigger battery, I would buy another original battery.

After many tests I've gone to Tomals 8.2 Vanilla rom, It's stable good at everything and its vanilla so you install what you want

aktopshooter,
I have several batteries. Under constant useage (no wifi/gprs/bt/ir, backlight on, phone on, SD in)
Best PU16A 1620mAh lasts 3hr 30mins
My only 3200mAh (double-size battery) lasts 6hr 10mins [I bought of eBay]
I repeat, this is under constant useage (test conditions) with backlight continuously on.
I usually tend to carry two normal batteries if I know I'm going to need juice, rather than the double-sized one for same reasons as Orb, Uni is big enough without a huge battery sticking out!

I would like to thank all who replied to my question. I have loaded a tomal rom and also started to use my regular battery versus my extended my battery. I was blow away by the normal battery for some reason it seems to out perform my extended battery. I am easily getting through a day with out even worrying about charging the battery through out the day. I am downloading mail every 15 mins and checking rss feeds every thirty mins plus lots of texts and calls the battery handles it well. My extended battery is nice but I rather the slim oem battery it just makes the phone feel hell of sexy and appealing

Unfortunately, Uni is not known for its great battery life compared to other devices simply due to the demands of a large screen. Various ROMs will be more or less economical when it comes to battery, but don't expect a huge improvement.
As far as getting a battery on eBay, be very careful. The last battery I purchased charges and drains at the same speed.

Also don't buy batteries from dealextreme, they are crap

Hi!!
Reading this post, I will go a little "off topic", but where to buy on line good battery.
My 3200 is dying.... and I lost my standard battery cover...
Can anyone give a help: standard battery and standard cover...
Thanks

Go to Universal accesories and you´ll find 2 or 3 threads regarding your question
Searching is the key!

Battery suggestions?

I'm planning on buying a higher capacity batter for my DHD: any suggestions? I don't want a bulky external battery, the thing is big enough as it is.
I found this on eBay, but it seems waaay too good to be true.. Is there a risk of it exploding in my pocket, or just of it being really crappy?
Are the Mugen (1500mAh) or Andida (1800mAh) batteries any good?
Any answers will be appreciated
Thanks

From what I've read, the Mugen batteries are good but they don't make too much of a difference in normal usage. I really doubt there can be such a huge jump in mAh without any increase in size as the two batteries suggest. 1500 mAh seems plausible, but 1800 mAh seems very unlikely. The actual capacity will be much less than advertised, hence the not so great performance improvement.
In my opinion, (if you haven't done this already) you'd be better off rooting your phone and installing one of many custom ROMs here which give excellent battery life over the stock ROM. I get around 18 hours of moderate to heavy usage and more than a day of light usage. Also, I keep 2 standard batteries. The battery life offered by that combination is much better than a single higher capacity battery, and the HTC battery costs a lot less too.

I want a higher capacity battery also! any one have suggestions?

Thanks for your answer I might go for the spare battery, even though I probably won't ever have it on me when I actually need it
As you can see from my sig, I have installed RCMix's latest custom ROM, but while it adds lots of great features, my battery life is actually shorter than with stock.

Yeah I tried RCMix3d Runny 4.0 and found the battery life quite bad too. Even with killersloth's UV scripts and all that. That and average GPS performance (~6 satellites usually, weak lock) were the only problems with it. The RCTweaks are awesome.
For the best battery life and fast GPS lock (~10 satellites strong lock), from my trials, I've found that these ROMs give the best performance -

Of course these aren't the only ones, but I've used these for long and can speak for them.
I keep a spare battery with me at all times. Finally found some use for that small square pocket in my jeans
It's not too much of a bother once you make it a habit, and it's helped me out in quite a few situations.

If you're going to buy a replacement battery, get an OEM one (0% improvement over stock ) or get the Mugen 1500mAh - that may just get you through to the end of the day.
Definitely, install a different ROM, and look at the clockspeed options you're given (or just install OC/UV Beater) You can overclock or underclock, and also play with undervolting, which improves efficiency.
Also consider network management, screen brightness etc -an easy way to do so is to use Juice Defender, though the purists say all their options can be effected manually.
And if all else fails, you can carry a battery pack around http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Trent-D...1OK4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1326811038&sr=8-3 this is 5000mAh, these people produce an 11000mAh version. My 5000mAh pack is great for sticking in the rucksack on a long day out with GPS enabled, cost about GBP20 - of all the options I evaluated, this is best value for money - also no need to switch phone off, vs changing the battery). Their customer service was very responsive when I told them that the charging cable wasn't working

Don´t waste your money in chinese batteries.I tried a few myself.If you really need it,the best thing is to buy anther OEM one.

Mugen's 1500 battery shows about 15% better capacity than my almost year-old stock one (1270 vs. 1095mAh, as measured by the battery monitor widget, after its first 4 cycles). Does not look quite like 1500mAh, but I guess the stock one never did register 1320mAh in that measurement either - it's either a systematic error, residual change or something...

If you are using a case (for example an otterbox or a case from casemate) then this is your best option!
The original htc sensation battery has 1520mAh and costs a lot less than the one from mugen. And i'd say you can trust original htc batteries more than anything found on ebay

Anyone Used this one:

I have an (china) battery from ebay with 1600 mAh. the battery life on our phones is really really poor. I heavily used my phone of the day an i only get a battery life from 6-8 hours, and thats really bad. So i found that no battery is even better than the original.

Though Mugen is not a perfect solution, it is better than stock batt.
Don't just go for price when you are buying batteries too, especially those dirt cheap china batteries. I bought a few before, it bloated up after a few months of usage.

hi, can some one suggest me(I am heavy user) witch is the best battery for DHD and best place to buy ?
Thanks

Due to DHD specialty, there can be used batteries with the capacity not more than 1500 mAh. All the numbers more than 1500 are either lie, or mean that battery is thicker than DHD body can support.

That's why you've got three options:
1) use multiple batteries (not really an option)
2) use an external charger (better, but i don't want to carry around more than the phone)
3) if you use a protective case then get a sensation battery....mines got 1900mAh and fits nicely into my DHD

You can also use a secour / external battery .You can reload four or five time you phon whit.

I have one extra 1230mAh battery & an Energizer XP2000 Portable charger. But to my opinion, adjusting your phone-charging habits makes all the difference. Anticipate with respect to your day's routine.
Though, I'm looking forward for the GSM version of Motorola Droid Maxx, or for any other that rivals its battery capacity.
p.s. charging extra batteries individual would be nice. I should try modding some usb cable to connect directly to the battery contacts, hmmmm...

external battery case and battery
