I'm trying to find out when HTC are planning to release their BP E270 Extended Battery and "blister" cover, and was hoping someone might know some more than the only official accessory distributor in the UK (expansys). I have sent expansys an email and they replied with:
Hi,
We do not have any release dates on any pre order items as soon as we do we will advertise this on the website.
Regards
eXpansys

Which isn't very helpful. So I was hoping someone on here may have herd some rumours of when its going to be released! If anyone could shed any light of the extended battery situation I would be very grateful!
I don't want to waste money on some shady third party battery if the official HTC one will be out soon!

An update on the Expansys support forum indicates they are receiving stock on the 15th.

wow that's great news! Thanks for the reply!
Do you have a URL by any chance?
edit: never mind I've found it http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=112296

They're now saying the end of week before they get it into their french warehouse

Ok, but where can I find a leather case for the diamond + extended battery?

The standard case allegedly also fits when the official extended battery is fitted.

Can anyone please confirm me if there is any battery dor Diamond with extra-capacity than the stardard one, that does not forces one to have a new thicker back faceplate? If so, what brand is it?

Seems very unlikely that something like that exists, as a bigger capacity practically always means a bigger battery.

HTC Taiwan did not releases (yet) the extended battery for own market.
Reason is that the software (ROM) seems to have issues measuring the capacity (as stated in other threads)

That seems hard to believe if its the same battery as in the Touch Pro (and presumably that has no problem with its own battery!) - although if it is true, then its a bit of an own goal!

did any of u find pictures of this extended battery pack yet? I meen a picture of a diamond using this pack of course

Good news!
I've just got an email from Expansys informing me that the BP E270 is shipped

Now my Diamond is 14mm, it means + 3mm

This may be a winner....Ima scoop one up just to check it out.

wow that looks really good, it even comes WITH a Battery! hmmm tempted.... nice to have a spare battery but so far these days my battery lasts me the whole day which is all i need... always a good idea to have a spare though

I'm not certain whether that offer is really outstanding...
The battery is sold seperately for 7-8 USD (shipped), the charger is one of those that you'll get for almost nothing. That leaves 18-20 USD for the Dock.
Not too expensive for a dock but for this amount I'll think twice about a purchase.

By all means, if you can find another horizontal dock that looks like it will fit nicely with the G2 + an extra slot to charge an additional battery please...post away.

1 Month of delivery kills it..
"Delivery:
Estimated between Fri. Dec. 10 and Thu. Dec. 23"
By Dec 10 there will be cheaper docks online or from your local stores.

no offense.. but it looks poorly made..

Check out the thread from the Desire-Z forum, looks like the same dock you purchased:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845946
I held off on ordering one after hearing his feedback on it... Hopefully they have some more selection in the next few weeks.

I still haven't gotten anything yet (lol why would anyone say no offence, I didn't design it, just stated it was the only one I have seen)
Looks like the last post in the post you posted has a good one, he seems to like it, may try that one...still a couple days till pay day lol

It showed up today! I will post more later, but everything works fine. Get it with confidence.

Battery goes in upsidedown (versus what the stock battery looks like. Still 1300 mAh.
Base doesn't lean back as much as I thought it would. This definitely works with the T-Mobile HTC G2. Using the battery right now. Used the dock to charge same battery and connect to the computer to download the photos.

you rock man, thanks

#notworthit

do you think the phone would fit in the dock with that clip-on plastic case?

Na I dont think so it seems to be pretty flush against the dock itself

Why are you saying its not worth it? Looks like a good deal as long as the battery doesn't jack up the phone any

So this battery, after the mod, fits right into our G2's without having to use a different cover or anything?

I just took the red wrapper off of it and it fit snuggly

In terms of weight, does it change much? I'm thinking about picking up this battery if it's a drop-in replacement.

I just purchased, thanks.

Well, it's certainly cheap so might as well give it a try. I highly doubt it's even close to 1800mAh but hopefully it'll be more than 1300mAh and won't die after 50 cycles.

i wouldnt trust it since it from china, they been known to switch out label

Can you let us know what the battery life is like, compared to your normal battery, please? I am interested, but have heard too many tales of batteries that promise more but in fact deliver less. It would be great if this gave even 25% more over the standard battery!
Here's some independent testing that shows a lot of manufacturers claims aren't always that true:

thanks for the preview pic, on how to modify the battery. I purchased a battery for $5.98 USD! Cant wait to test it out.

Just curious but did you have your internet on the entire time you were doing the test run? I normally turn off my internet and activate it when needed, when I do that battery life for me is about 20 something hours, with mild usage (gaming and phone calling).

any more updates?

I just bought one. I will update you guys when i get it.

I ordered one. Wth for 8 bucks
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app

I bought one from mugen site and it is awesome althought it is a little bit pricey but i think it worth. I charge it over night. Unplug it at 7 am and carry with me untill 10pm. My wireless was on the whole time. I have 3 email setup as default. Running sense ui so i believe there is some process running at the back ground. I only make about 30 min to 1 hour call. At 10 pm, i still have 35% life.

Well, too expensive

Just received mine. Removing the tab means it'll go into the space but it still won't fit quite right as the battery is slightly too thick for my cover to go back on.
I'll see if I can rectify this =/

Same problem here. If u take the red wrapper off i dont think it matters because the black plastic cheap outlined housing is the problem. I think i wasted 8 bucks
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6

Yeah, I've taken the entire thing apart (piecemealed it together) now and while the cover will fit it still bulges out because the battery itself is a tad too thick.
It was a cheap experiment though so I'm not choked. The lesson here is that Incredible/Evo batteries don't fit our phones =(

PowerSkin® for HTC Desire HD & Inspire 4G

Alright folks, don't know if this has been discussed before, and frankly I can't browse through threads atm looking for it, so here it is. It's a a power case for your Desire HD/Inspire 4G with an extended 1500mAh battery to make your life easier.
I've tested it some time ago but never got the chance to actually post anything about it because I just don't get enough time. The case is very rigid and provides the ultimate protection for your device. The only downside is the fact it is enormous.

The price varies between $40 and $47 so if you think this can help save your phone, go ahead and buy yourself one.
You can grab it on amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/PowerSkin-Pro..._1_8?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1330464202&sr=1-8
Be fast they only have like 4 or 5 left in stock.
Of course if ya think this post is useful, hit thanx. Won't kill ya.
PS: I am in no way affiliated with the company that is making this so if ya think I'm making money here, I'm not.

read the reviews on amazon... it sucks...

As panyan says... it sucks... I tested it for a week and then it went back to amazon...
The Quality is quite good, but it makes the DHD really fat... but i knew it before i purchased it and this wasnt the real problem...
This this batterie was supposed to last as long as the internal batterie does, but for 50euros (in germany) you get a silikoncase which makes your phone thicker and a really bad batterie that lasts for 7 hours... in IDLE!!
My DHD "survives" sometimes up to 2 Days (When its IDLE most the time), so a battery that used to have more capacity then the internal one lasts only 7 hours?
FAIL!!!
I loaded it more than one time to full capacity and tested it the whole week...
I cannot recommend that powerskin.
mfg cre-x
PS: sry for my bad english XD

It's an interesting idea, but it woud add a lot of weight and bulk to the phone, which you would only need let's say for the second 1/2 of the day
So would you want to carry that around with you all day?
The alternative, which I use, is to have a battery pack (mine's a 5000mAh) which I plug into the charging socket of the phone via USB-microUSB cable when I run low.
The battery pack has the same dimensions and weight as the phone, but I keep it in a bag until needed, so it doesn't affect the phone's bulk until I decide to charge.
And they are cheap too, I got mine off Amazon for €22 I think it was. NewTrent is the brand, I can recommend it. The price fluctuates quite a lot. There are also some cheaper alternatives, but I wouldn't bother with a 2000mAh pack, since it wouldn't pack much of a punch. Also the NewTrent one has 2 output sockets and can provide a 1A output, giving a fast charge.
And you can keep your favourite case too, no worries about GPS signal either

powerskins are for people who can only get to charge their phone every other day or use the phone very intensly.
In most cases it's a waste of money.

I used it 3 months and now it no works.
PS: This Case is really big!

I have it, it's awesome. The thickness isn't important to me, i have big pockets. But it was 80$ here in my country.

phone companies are on the verge of these 'inductive charging' techniques by just attaching the tech to the battery without sacrificing any of the physical size of it all, so who knows maybe at the end of the year it'll become standard in phones without the need of having accessories like these

WOW! The Phone becomes very thick with this thing. That's absolutely not cool. In which pocket shall it fit? Just rendered and no real pictures you can see nothing about the quality of these thing. I think a spare accu is much better than this Power Skin.

I got a 3500 mah, for $17 shipped. arrived in two days.
the battery and back case is hard to tell hoe thick from the pictures, I'm guessing its 1/4" thicker than stock. no additional protection to the camera lens over stock, other than the shelf the extended case provides. it feels heavier, bit easier to hold than with the tiny stock battery case.
the mt4gs is nearing end of life for development, so ill use it until its damaged, then upgrade .
charged well, and then started it up yesterday morning around 6am. I'm now at 29%, with almost 31hours of use. yes, the graph is wrong, as I plugged it in to transfer 15-20 pictures to the Mac for however long that takes. that USB port is 1.1, so if you really want to figure how much juice it received, figure about 3 minutes plugged in....
the majority of time the phone had wifi and 3g/edge on, with poor reception.
this is virtuous v 1.3 and Gmail, contacts, calendar and g+ photos syncing running at 1.3ghz, "on demand" throttling.
again, currently I'm at 29% after 31hours.

A link of the battery, Back cover if any and a picture of the battery itself is a must if you want to share the info here with us.
Posting a screenshot of your phone's battery graph only and not even having the right values you stated won't be of any use for us.
So please if you want to share something please make it as detailed as possible in a way we could appreciate it

can't make the screenshot right, but my information corrected it. updated first post with screenshots and direct amazon link.

OK, I'm at 3%, after 35 hours , with no attempts at conserving at all. I've shot video, surfed, txt, all normal operations. with some simple conservation, I could squeeze 2 days easily. 3 would mean using airplane mode, or edge. this will be great for motocamping.

I would never be able to have a battery that thick for my phone, but cheers for the battery life
