best battery for tornado?

I'm looking for batterys on ebay (mine is Qtek 8310, I supose it has the same battery that tornado). Not too much trust in 2200 mAh batteries. Has someone tested them?
I think the best choice is this one

Thanks!

I usually use a car battery strapped to my back. Sure it's a little heavy, but I pick up lots of chicks because of it.

I expect to receive a 2200 mAh battery these days (GPS-usage drains my standard 1100 mAh battery quite quickly), after testing I'll post my experiences.

Plz, plz post a picture - best the one with the extra entenna on your hat!
No - seriously, if you don't get the original spare (for much more $) I think you can take anything from ebay for that little money. I see you choosed one with all the overheating, short circuit, etc. protection - can't be wrong if it is true.

I was joking.

lol @thecraze
well purchased a battery from an HTC service centre (Maxell 1050 mah ).. i asked for a battery at i-mates service centre .. they gave me " CelXpert " (1150 mah ).. it is made in Taiwan..
I bought it for my i-mate sp5m.. lol

Hi,
I actually have a 2200mah battery to sell, was going to put it on ebay tomorrow but I can do a straight paypal transaction if your interested. I got 3 batterys with my tornado and I really dont need them. I have 1 standard battery as well if anyone is interested. Both work fine, I tested them all fully before leaving feedback for the person I bought the mobile from

Do you also sell a cover fitting for an i-mate SP5/Qtek8310 ?
(The battery I received included a wrong cover. )

1340 mAh Battery availible in Germany

Hey folks, i just received a email that expansis has shipped out my 1340 mAh battery incl a new cover. This could mean that the battery is finally availiable in germany! looking forward to test it!

is this battery shipped with the backside cover? If yes, is this cover fitting on a O2 XDA diamond?

Hi! I own a o2 XDA Diamond, and yes it is shipping with a fitting backside cover! Here is the link to expansis, remember this is no ad:
http://www.expansys.ch/p.aspx?i=166204

that cover wount fit on your xda diamond!
check this post to compare the backsides: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2605740&postcount=19

Sad to hear this man... has anyone a link to a product 1340mAh or 1700 mAh with a cover that fits my GERMAN VERSION of the XDA Diamond from o2?

I will receive my battery incl. cover the next days, email's out for me as well. I am curious to see, what is different. I just hope, that one can still use it...
Anyone already tried?

Also got an email from Expansys today, should receive mine on Monday .

have been using the offical 1340mAh battery for 2 weeks now.
it gives new life to my Diamond, I bought a Samsung Omnia because of its big battery and were going to sell my Diamond. But then I found Omnia is not as easy to use (only its camera is better than Diamond). I bought the battery before I sold my phone, and I end up sell the Omnia.

How much thicker does the Diamond get with the 1340mAh battery?

I wonder it is same as Touch Pro since they share the same battery. Why not trying Mugen 1000 mAh standard size battery? It really improves and worth trying if you still prefer slim size of Diamond.

if i remember correctly, the extended battery is +3mm and the original size is 11mm so that makes it 14mm. while the Touch pro is 18mm.

hey. received my ext. battery today.
german o2 xda owners: hands off! it doesn't work in our phone. i mean, it works, but you won't be able to put your cover on. it doesn't fit.
anyone in germany with original diamond in need for ext. battery? 40€ incl shipping to germany
and yes, it makes the "original" diamond around 3mm thicker!

I thought O2 Germany was going to release an expanded battery itself....what happened to that project ? They said "end of August"

yes, the new 1340mAh battery is indeed the same one used by the Touch Pro.
How much help would the extra 100mAh do? not much I guess.

I also have the o2 XDA Diamond (should be with me this week) and was looking for another battery - found a few for the for the HTC but now I know the backs are different this will be hard - I originally thought of ebay - but having second thoughts now
Has anyone got a link for the extended battery and back for the O2 version of this phone please

In Germany I found some threads before the following link for the extended battery for the XDA Diamond:
http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=173907
But for me it's too expensive, too.

and that is not the original extended battery. it's thicker than the 3mm people talked about. the phone looks hideous with those inofficial extended batteries.

1200mAh battery - SPRINT ONLY

Hello!
Just noticed this battery on sale at eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-1200mAh-BAT...4|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
I wonder if is this another scam like the "1100" one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445050
Assuming this one is real, would it work with all (incl. non Sprint) Touch Diamonds?
[UPDATE: COMPATIBLE WITH SPRINT DIAMONDS ONLY]

This seller have better reputation than one with fake 1100mAh battery... and it's from UK so can't blame Royal Mail for slow delivery

Since when was California in UK?

Looks great! I've gone for it let you know when it arrives! This could really be the amswer to all my battery problems

Careful buying this for the original Diamond. I think the Sprint version's slightly deeper so might allow for a larger battery? Could be wrong

won't work on standard diamond. sprint diamond is 1350 capacity. it is thicker battery door as standard.

Oh well... wishful thinking!!

it will be a good idea to change the title of this topic since this is NOT standard size battery for HTC Diamond.

It clearly states in the item description that it only fits the mentioned models.
So if you do buy this for a normal gsm diamond = you will also need to buy a thicker battery cover in order to house it
Good idea to change this thread's title I would think as it may be misleading to some people

Mhh, I bought this battery in Germany. It will arrive next week. I wonder whether this fits into my HTC Victor.

Hello Fayoumi,
please let us know if this battery also fits to your MDA compact IV. I read that the MDA compact IV is comparable to the Sprint Touch Diamond from the U.S. Thanks in advance!

i've bought the 1100mAh battery from the ebay-seller posted in fort post.
conclusions: he send me a 1000mAh instead the 1100mAh battery. but it seems to be garbage - the 1000mAh battery testresult is the smae as the 900mAh original standard battery

DON'T BUY IT!

hi man, did you receive the battery ?
Is HTC Victor same with diamond (orange UK ?)

So what happened with this battery?

Hi, any news about your battery, did you receive and test it?

[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.

I'd like to know this answer as well. I would assume the extended battery would make the device look as the size of the TouchPro.

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.

Nobe question: I'm assuming that's with the 1800 mAh battery on your phone? lol!

Co-sign this statement. If any1 can confirm then I will probably BUY.

[Q] 1600mah battery?

UK company BMC Digital claims to have a 1600mah battery for the Desire HD... for just 6.50 UKP. That can't be right, surely?
They also have a 1230mAh battery for 16.95 UKP, which seems more believable.
Sorry that I can't post the links yet, as I'm a new user.

The typical capacity of a battery is one thing but what they print on the label is another thing! I think, it's impossible to improve the original battery 1230 mAh about 370 mAh to 1600 mAh and sell it for less than the half price.

Well I just bought one for the hell of it, will let you know it's performance probably this time next week.

I got 2 of them 1600mAh with a bundle from good old ebay. I've been using them and they last at least as long as the original but not convinced they last much longer....
At least they work! so far
Cheers,

hey do you think it will be possible to make extended batteries (with cover) for dhd? because it has unibody

I don't think so, the battery have to be relatively the same size as the original battery, especially when the battery cover is used as antenna too.

try here for batteries - including extended one...
here is the link...
go to mugen-power-batteries dot com and then to the htc-desire section...

There is only one in the list.
its 1300mAh for 45$.
Very expensive and not very usefull.
Only 70mAh more -.-

So I used the one that was delivered for a couple of days, and let me tell you it is utter 'DOG-EGG' it doesn't last anywhere near as long as the original, but £6.50 for a spare ain't half bad.

Hi

Please give feedback, thanks

personally I think its a bit risky especially at the price they offering..
i still think the stock batteries from htc are the best
