High quality Mugen Power 2000 mah battery (looks really good!) - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories

Straight from the Mugen Power website. Free world-wide shipping (non-EU countries get it 12 bucks cheaper): http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.info.../es109514_es120302495377/Products/HLI-P3700ML
The back-cover looks quite good. I sent them an email asking whether the back-cover is indeed the one they show in the pictures.
A similar or identical product (although picture is different) at the UK shop mobilefun.co.uk: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/17413.htm
(I posted in several threads about the latter, apologies to the mods).
liamhere has purchased the latter from mobilefun.co.uk and said he'll be back with details and hopefully pics: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2739093
I also spoke with mobilefun.co.uk on the phone and they were incredibly helpful (and nice). They said they'll call back after they check the warehouse ... and they did! They actually measured the whole thing and described the battery and the back case:
- the Diamond with the new battery and cover is 17 mm thick.
- they said the battery is indeed of high quality and that if i'm not happy with the performance then they will offer a full refund or an exchange.
- the battery itself is about 9.5-10 mm thick and pretty hefty they said.
- the back cover is not the original HTC BP E270 but is all flat along the device (not like the ones with an ugly hump) and feels solid and of high quality. I actually prefer a flat back-cover so that the TD becomes more usable when sitting on a desk.
- the camera hole is a conic inset and he said it should not cause any bottom shades in pictures from the looks of it
It all sounds good. The first link to the Mugen Power website battery looks better than what mobilefun.co.uk described but I would kind of prefer a flat back cover. I'm eagerly waiting for liamhere's feedback.
Cheers

Does the gps work with this battery?

i haven't got one yet so i don't know ... i'm waiting for liamhere's feedback; (s)he purchased the one from mobilefun.co.uk and will post some feedback
i still don't know if the two batteries and back covers are the same. mobilefun.co.uk says it's "Power-Cell" and that is backed up by the Mugen Power tech. Also, the mobilefun.co.uk rep said the back cover is flat while the Mugen Power picture (1st link) shows a diamond-like cover.
i'm also very interested whether gps works

Thank you for your reply.....we shall wait for his input.Thanks anyway.

hello its me
this battery don't let (tomtom) gps get a fix.......sending mine back
tested it all morning and no joy
you have been warned

oh man!! That one does not work either
I bought one 1900mah battery on ebay and gps doesn't work either I am really burned out with this device.
-Poor signal
-Short battery life
-GPS issue.
I am going to get my HTC Tmobile G1 with Android the 22nd and if it works I will sell the Diamond....I miss my Trinity.
Thanks for your input.

I wouldn't necessarily assume that the Mugen version affects the GPS in the same way - the version sold by Mobilefun is well documented in the way it makes GPS not work; I don't believe that the 2 are the same product even if they look similar (the Mugen back cover looks more like the official back cover for a start).
Of course, it might still break the GPS, but don't assume it does.

Will it fit/work in the Sprint diamond
The sprint diamond is already .6inches which is about 17-16mm so i wonder if this battery would fit without any extra thickness? I e-amiloed them today and when they respond I will also ask about the GPS

Apparently, it blocks the GPS signal.

yep, i know about your recent experience, that's why i was asking since he reported other batteries from mobilefun had the issue.
i wonder if another radio would have done any difference though ... we would have liked you to experiment more with it before sending it back ... now we have to find another guinea pig

sorry i could test longer
but i needed the battery for tomorrow
as i am away on holiday for a week
must say there returns dept is A++++++++++++
my exstended htc battery arrived this morning....great service!

Herewith we would like to stress that the 2000mAh HLI-P3700ML and the upcoming 3000mAh HLI-P3700XL Mugen Power batteries for the HTC Touch Diamond do NOT affect the working of the GPS in the device. We must clarify that the GPS function of our model HLI-P3700ML is actually very good indeed.
Please be aware the Power-Cell Ultra Battery is NOT a Mugen Power product and we advise you to buy Mugen Power batteries only from authorized Mugen Power distributors and resellers.

But Mugen Power batteries claim their original 2000mAh HLI-P3700ML and 3000mAh HLI-P3700XL work well with GPS and that these are not the same as as the Power-Cell Ultra's.

i remember the guy from Mugen saying that GPS will not be affected.
dont blame me if it is tho!
I have ordered one from Mugen on the 7th of November. Knowing that there will be delay in shipment as it is out of stock. Although Mugen stated clearly that it is expected to be shipped in the second week of November, I kept waiting calmly. Until three days ago, I tried to contact Mugen through email asking the status of my order but with no reply. Kind of depress and have no idea when could expect shipment. Just wait...wait...wait...forever.

No problem on offering comment..............only if I could "really" get my battery.
here is the mail mugen power batteries sent me:
In regards of availability, we will start shipping batteries at the end of next week. However, due to the popularity of pre-orders for this model of battery, we will have no available stock until middle of December.
The new batteries will not have any GPS reception issues and the delay in shipping was due to another improvement to the battery cover which provide about 15% faster GPS reception. As soon as the battery is released, we will send some to independent magazines and journalists for review purposes.

Anyone got one of these babies?
I'd preorder, but need a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV back cover.
i ordered one of these except way uglier. i got the one with the rectangular bulge cover on the back and its also a 3000mah. gives me roughly double the battery life. lasts about 2 days (36 hours, charge overnight until morning, leaves it on overnight, lasts throughout the rest of second day) if you use internet/email and call a lot.
3000 mah wow
this thing can start car Engine

What about the GPS? Is is still sensing as many satelites? Can you get a fix?
looks pretty ugly I'll stick with the htc extended battery
looks ugly and big, the cover is bad
I've got my Mugen 3000mA yesterday.
I believe the battery itself is great, but the rear cover is really ugly.
It is made by very "normal" plastic and gives a "cheap" aspect to the device.
... and it is big.
... and the cover is not very stable, sometimes it opens in the left upper corner.
GPS works, but takes longer time to fix. before in my car I was getting fix for 10 seconds (aGPS ON and updated QuickGPS). This morning it took 3-4 minutes.

wow nice pictures
i really like this battery
i can say from these pictures the thicknes size will be like the Raphael
in other words , diamond size + 3000mah battery = Raphael size
am i right idimdim ?
I would say it is double the depth of the standard diamond.
Now I am looking for a silicone skin that can fit the giant ...
Should be very stretchable or for another device
Any ideas, anyone?

[BATT] [27-03-2009] 1800 mAh MDA Compact IV with pictures - not official one

All,
I managed to source a non-T-Mobile extended battery and cover for my Compact IV. I believe the original costs in the region of £40-£60 (for a 1340 mAh).
I've just purchased at 1800 mAh one for about £12 GBP ($18 USD).
Up until now, I personally was finding it difficult to find a 'replica' extended battery for the Compact IV (different cover to the HTC Diamond of course).
Anyway I thought I'd post some pictures up if people wanted to see.
I won't post a link to where I got it because I haven't tested the performance of it (just received it 30 mins ago!).
My usage is pretty heavy where the original 900 mAh would barely last me 8 hours on a good day.
I will post back results later if anyone is interested.
[UPDATE 27-03-2009]
Well I've been using the battery for a few days and of course it is as expected far better than the original. I haven't tested it with any perfomance software tools, just real life usage.
Full charged at 8am, the battery would easily last me 48 hours. Over this period I had a data connection always on (Exchange and personal IMAP). Just for testing purposes, I had the GPS (Tomtom) running for an hour, browsed the internet for a total of about an hour, plus the general calls and SMSs made/received.
Just one little thing: I had to remove the sticker around the battery because the cover simply would not close, I instead used sticky labels to cover it and now it fits like a glove! I personally think the whole unit feels better in the palm of hand with the extra thickness.
Overall, so far, I am impressed with this battery.
cool, i'm interested to hear your feedback once you use it for a while. thanks for posting the pictures.
Sh500,
Please give us a link to where you bought the battery, I'm really need one!

I'm a bit concern about removing this sticker around the battery, would this effect the battery in anyway? Did the seller not test to see if the cover closes with this battery?

Sent D8LOM a private message.
This is the best cover design which i have seen
I also bought this same battery from the same supplier on e**y, and first day use already a vast improvement on the pathetic original. Fully charged from new this morning, 1 hour mp3 listening, plenty of emails, web-surfing, phone calls, etc and battery power has dropped by 3 bars, normally its virtually dead by now with the standard battery. I would consider myself a heavy user. The battery cover feels a bit plasticy (but seems strong enough) and as was said in the opening post you do need to peel the stickers off the battery to make the cover fit the phone (voiding any warranty for the battery) but for the price I think this is a winner. The extra-thick case feels a bit cumbersome at first but quickly got used to it. Overall so far so good and this is going to be used a lot when I am unsure when I can next get to a charger.
Hi,
Any updates on batery usage?
Can one of you measure the adittional size with new battery in mm or whole phone thicknes?
I would like to buy the same battery, but I have a dillema. I bought HTC original car phone holder, CU S170 witch looks like this: http://www.mobilesupplies.nl/holder-touch-diamond-s170-with-charger-pi-8691.html
I wonder, if phone with this 1800 mAH battery will fit to the holder
Also is there big diference between this 3rd party 1800mAH battery and HTC extendet 1340 mAH.

The thickness is a maximum of 16mm (tried to measure it with a ruler so not the most accurate!)
Yep I'm in the same situation with the car holder, I've got the same holder as you but one that mounts on the car vent. With the extended battery, your device will not fit the holder as there is no additional clearance on the holder.
I think it will be a while until someone manufactures a holder with additional clearance (perhaps a spring loaded back bit) to allow for such upgrades.
Ive been searching for another holder but the only ones that seem to do the job would be the universal 'gripper' ones - these are very ugly in my opinion but currently I don't have much choice! May submit a new post in the section.
I've been using my device for almost a week now and the battery life is consistently better than the original one. Even if I seriously abuse it running different things it would still last be close to 24 hours.
I can't comment on the 1340 mAh.
THIS CAR HOLDER MAY FIT:
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/Holder/HTC+Touch Diamond-Brodit-Holder.asp
It seems like it has the extra clearance and in the description it states "this kit should accommodate all battery sizes". I wonder if any with a Brodit holder can confirm this? But looking at the pictures there seems like plenty of clearance.
Quite expensive though!

Thanks for reply,
I almost decided to by the original HTC extended battery, becouse of the thicknes, as I read it last about 50% more than original, so that should be bearible it's about two days Not compromizing looks of the phone that much!
Now there is still a issue with the car phone holder, becouse I realy like the holder I got, you can use it in horizontal posittion as a vertical. And I like the build and aesthetic look of it.
There is a small bumps on it, to fit the phone better, maybe if I remove them I can fit my phone with HTC extendet battery in it. Or maybe it would fit anyways without remowing them (picture attached)
As I read, the phone with original battery 900 mAH is 11.85 mm thick, and with extendet 1340 mAH battery is 14.40 mm thick.
So would be nice, if someone could post feedback with original HTC car phone holder, and HTC extendet battery. DOES IT FIT OR NOT

Like i said, I have the same mount as you and there doesn't seem like extra clearance behind. I would be surprised if the 1340 battery would fit even with the extra bit taken off, you need about 3mm extra. Plus you dont want it too tight so as it would scrape against the edges everytime you took the phone in and out of the holder. But see if anyone else replies I guess.
I know Brodit do two specific holders for the Diamond, one for the 900mAh and another for the 1340 mAh.

It's difficult to judge the thickness of that pouch just from the picture. I still have my mate's Touch Pro with me and it is about 2-3 mm thicker than my MDA C4.

Cheap replacement batteries for TG01?

I found claims of using LG batteries in TG01 with varying levels of success.
LG LX600 (Sprint Lotus) batteries (LGIP-490A) can be used but cannot be charged by the phone, it has to be charged with a separate charger.
LG LGIP-470A (AX830, Glimmer, KF750, Secret, UX830, Shine KE970, Shine KF600, Shine KG70, Shine KG70c, Shine KU970) also seems to fit, but I'm not sure if it can be charged by the phone.

Cameron Sino uses to be despised on Internet forums as battery supplier. To be honest, I've used CS batteries on my former devices, without problems. They worth its price (But that's only my personal view)
Amazon: Another source here:

They are good news. When a brand as Camerosn Sino decides make a copy of a battery's device, that means that this device has been quite successful!

[Q] Anyone Tried This? - Replacement Battery

Hey Guys
I'm having some quite bad battery life with my DHD and I was looking into getting a bigger capacity battery.
I found this:
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/standard-battery-for-htc-desire-hd1600mah-p-3411.html?language=en
It is 1600 mAh and on paper looks promising and before I just wanted to check has anyone ordered this and had successful results with this battery and the seller or is it just a fail?
Thanks
Patrick
Found one while browsing around for a replacement for my DHD too.
Can't post links yet, but if you go to a site called evertop ending in a .co.uk and search for 35H00141-02M, you will find one with 1550mAH rating.
There are a few of these replacement ones claiming higher capacity, but one has to be cautious about these things mate.
Would love to find a genuinely reliable replacement one, although I must admit, if you haven't tried it already, there is a thread around which has a tip to charge the DHD in a certain way - seems to have worked for me upto certain extent - have managed to go over 24h without the need to charge with moderate use.
Hi I am a new member here. I also read somewhere about a mugen battery. haven't been able to order yet. I recently bought an external 5000mAh battery (USB charging) I can charge my DHD approximately 4 times before recharging the external battery.
just wanted to share an alternative to extended batteries that need to replace your battery cover.
a 5000mAh? holy ****...
EXTERNAL
the ones, which you connect to your usb port and charge the phone's battery
i wouldn't buy another internal one than the original.
battery's can be really dangerous..no chance to buy one from china or so..just my 2 cents.

These are the same as ones you can get from ebay.

Would love to find a genuinely reliable replacement one, although I must admit, if you haven't tried it already, there is a thread around which has a tip to charge the DHD in a certain way - seems to have worked for me upto certain extent - have managed to go over 24h without the need to charge with moderate use.

Take extra precaution to this company. They will send you counterfeit goods no matter what if they think you are incapable of fighting back (say, living too far away).
My friend has been scammed once, and he went through all the complain channel in UK online in vain. It seems that UK's Government has no intention to stop online scammers that are active in their own countries. That was really an awkward discovery.
So be very careful.
I still don't get why people consider battery life as extremely important for phones that have easy to remove batteries...
They arent too expensive, ($3 on ebay for a 1600 mah fake, $15 for a genuine 1230) and its not exactly that hard to keep a few on you.
External batteries are also another option, but they usually use more space than internal ones (and they also require a cable).

but external can hold ALOT more AND plug into various devices
I would definitely recommend an external powerpack. I have a New Trent 5500mah pack, and it indeed gives 2-3 recharges, in a form factor slightly smaller than the DHD.
The only battery which is not fake, is the Mugen, coming in at 1500mah. It's not a huge improvement, but many say it's the difference between running out of juice mid-evening, and making it through to the night and the power cord.
Search for Mugen in this forum, all the details are there.
Or look for NewTrent on Amazon for example. The price varies (and they have bigger models too).
Avoid ALL OTHER "high capacity" batteries

You are right, batteries aren't expensive nowaday.
I recommend using genuine where possible. Fake/replacement/counterfeit batteries return bogus charging level to the devices, and that would result in pre-mature shutdown which would damage mobile devices.

evertop co uk is a well-known scammer. You should have looked up uk's ripoff list (forgot the full name of this website, you could search) and you can find it listed top 10 or something.
UK is hoarded with scammers like that, because their government just don't give a dime of what their people do on the internet.

Hey Guys
I'm having some quite bad battery life with my DHD and I was looking into getting a bigger capacity battery.
I found this:
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/standard-battery-for-htc-desire-hd1600mah-p-3411.html?language=en
It is 1600 mAh and on paper looks promising and before I just wanted to check has anyone ordered this and had successful results with this battery and the seller or is it just a fail?
Thanks
Patrick

I bought two of these on eBay. It's not better than the original (but not worst either).
Worth the money I paid (few $).
I recently got 1, not tried it out yet

Gold battery for DHD
Hi Guys,
I cannot put links yet, but search for "2430MAH HIGH CAPACITY BAS470 GOLD BATTERY FOR DESIRE HD" on Ebay. Got it yesterday, so far so good, looks like it lasts more than the stock one...
It says "Made in Japan" but im not sure about this
Did anyone else tried this one?

2430MAH? i don't think it is even possible to fit that much cell into the DHD battery size, i'm currently on the mugen 1500MAH battery, it is slightly better then the stock battery, would recommend that

- Ive been a little worried about this as I have a cheap one from China which came in an accessory pack, which by the way sucked. everything has just fallen apart. but the battery, which I rely on heavily as a backup, seems to have a better life than the original odly enough, dunno what's up with that. afraid it may leak or output higher charges and fry my phone?

Confirmed - Seidio 1900 extened battery for HTC EVO 3D Works! Japanese cell!

Okay. I took a queue from people using the oem htc battery for the HTC EVO 3D and ordered the seidio 1900 mAh extended battery and it fits perfectly, albeit upsidedown but works! My research has shown that Seidio is a very reliable company with a posotive standing in the market but also with fellow forum communities.
I dont have any results as for real world usage but I should have a review by the end of the week.
Can anyone recommend an application that will aid in recording daily usage and battery ratings. I believe that someone has screen shots of such an application but no name provided.

I've used Seidio batteries on my N1. They do increase battery life a bit. This time around I went and got an Anker battery, also 1900mAh. And it's been a few weeks and seems to work great, even though I was getting good battery life with the stocker. And for 12bux shipped, I would have taken stock performance for the price.
I would have got with the Anker but I've had two bad experiences with batteries from "some where in china". First an over heating replacement battery for my Creative Zen MP3, which I placed in a coffee can and in trash due to fear of exploding or something crazy. The next time was a replacement battery for an old cell phone, charged once and then shorted the phone DEAD... so you can see I'm weary.
Glad to know they aren't like the [email protected] ones I've gotten in the past.
Did you ever get an app to test the battery? I am thinking about buying this battery, but I want to make sure that it works. Now that you have been using it for a while, would you still recommend it?
Thanks-
Looks suspicious why did they removed country of origin? I bet its China but why remove it? Take a careful look at the picture
Seidio is a legit company.
I have used their batteries for several years in my devices. They are a bit more in price and the quality is really good. Tech support is very helpful too and that was enough to continue doing business with them.
Man this thing is awesom
