Sprint Extended (Super-Extended?) Battery Avail Yet?

I'm loving my new Diamond on the Sprint network, but the thing just sucks the juice! I'm a data fiend, and it would seem that the battery only lasts about 2-3 hours with me at the controls.
Has anyone seen, or heard any news on a Super-Extended (since it's technically already extended) battery for the Sprint Diamond?
Thanks,
Null

I dont think this will fit the US version of the Diamond...

battery will probably fit, but the battery cover won't work.

has anyone seen or bought this 2000 mah battery? specs and images look fantastic
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/17413.htm
Apparently, the cover that is shipped with this 2000 mah battery is the original HTC cover which comes with the 1340 mah (the BP E270) which m eans this 2000 mah battery is no thicker than the BP E270:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16941.htm
Covers look the same.
I can't see a brand name in the image, they just quote "Pwer-Cell". Could be of high quality though, I can't explain the price otherwise .. or maybe the back-cover is indeed the original HTC one. In any case, it is tempting. I was just curious whether anyone tried it.
Cheers

That's very interesting... It's a Mugen Powercell and they are known for high quality extended batteries that are OEM size.. I just picked up my BP E270 and I must say I'm already used to the (very little!) extra thickness - so now to know I could have 2000mAH in the same package - is almost too good to pass up.... Have to save up some more $ though, they aren't cheap and I just shelled out $90 for this one!

Actually this isn't true unfortunately. I just measured the thickness of my diamond with the BP E270, and it comes in at 14mm exactly, whereas the dimensions from the link you provided for the Mugen Powercell 2000mAH come in at 17mm. So the Mugen comes with a 3rd party cover, or at least, a bigger cover than the official extended battery.

I just 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! this is what they said:
The Diamond with the new battery and cover is about 17 mm thick (you were right).
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 is about 9.5-10 mm thick and pretty hefty they said.
The back cover is not the original HTC BP E270 but hear this: the cover is all flat along the TD (not like the ones with a hump where the battery is) and feels solid and 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 (like some of the hump covers do).
All in all, it sounds good to me but I'm eagerly waiting for liamhere's feedback and pictures

I found yet another one, straight from Mugen Power which looks even better. I posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=2740174

back cover on qtek 8310

Hi all,
I have the following isue: after I gave my qtek 8310 to my sister, it seems the back cover is somewhat broken or malformed because I cannot close it. My sister told me she hasn't done anything but it is possible she forced the back cover in some way. When I try closing the back cover, it doesn't fit well to the phone's body and doesn't make a click sound as usual. As a result it cannot be attached to the phone's body and fully closed. This happens even when there is no battery installed.
Visually I cannot see anything broken and the plastic seems OK. There are no obvious malformations.
Has anyone had such similar issue? Maybe I have to buy a new cover, however I haven't found any website to purchase spare parts for the qtek 8310.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

yo! post here snapshots of the "unshut" back cover so that we may see how can we help ya

10x for the reply.
I will make the shots tonight with my camera and post the links.

even if u dont post, i suspect that either of these slots of ur cell phone are blocked:

Same problem
Hi, I have got the same problem. I have found, the back cover get broken because the battery was old and become "bigger" (got inflated by gas produced in battery by chemical reaction). I have changed the battery, but have not found way to repair the back cover. Maybe just use some hot temperature...

Got the same problem here: seems like the battery has curved (!) it has got a slight bump...
the battery doesn't fit properly anymore - same with the back-cover!
Also my battery drain is quite high... well, it's an 3 year old tornado

on the grey cover, inside, theres the 2 clips, one of them was bent downwards touching the surface, and thus i couldnt slide the cover on without it lopsided or loose. I just lifted the clip a little and fixed it. Be careful its like cheap plastic, felt like it would break easily

What's the battery life like?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

i only got it yesterday, so it will have to go through a few charge/discharge cycle before i can comment.

brief info on the amount of power in the battery with it's first charge.
when i got the battery, it had about 76% power in it, it took about an hour to full charge.
i had the phone on till now with wifi turned on, apart from about 4hours without wifi connected (wifi is still on at all time on the phone), its roughly about 28 hrs now and i still have 64% power left in my phone.
while wifi is on, it auto checks for email every 15minutes and with the little internet browsing.
update: 38hrs with 16% power left. (moderate use of internet browsing)
update approximate 40 hrs with 4% power left, before i charged the phone.

that sounds good. I've ordered one myself and was send today.

this is one good extended battery worth checking out
the extended battery cover + stand makes a really nice appear, specially because it's shiny

I found it on ebay

It is the same size as your existing battery but it's 1900mAh

i havent seen those before, looking at the name seems like a brand from china.
i dont trust them.

Well, I gotta say these 1900mAh batteries caught my eye, and I decided to take a chance at buying one of them. For barely 7€ it ain't that much of a risk anyways. I'll keep you guys updated whenever I get it (max 30 days according to the vendor).
I'm still interested in the Momax one tho, the back plate is the only extended one that hasn't made my eyes bleed so far and 2700mAh must be sweet.
Any complete review ? =)

There you go. A few shots of the Momax 2700mAh battery w/ kickstand.
Been using it for a month or two, loving it.

Motorola Atrix 2 Extended Battery

Received my Motorola Extended Battery just now in the mail, draining it then will recharge fully to test it for full day tomorrow.
First impressions, it adds a little bulk, some protruding from the back. Replacement case has soft touch but doesnt feel as nice as regular back casing.

Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

Hi guys! Can you tell me WHERE you ordered the extended battery? I've been trying to find it everywhere but no luck.
Can you point me in the right direction?

I ordered mine in-store at an at&t store, and got it shipped to my house.
I did order when it said "temporarily out of stock" (as it still does now, sku 40528 on att's site) but it took a couple days to get it sent out.
edit: fixed the sku, though googling for "sku5380297" will still find it faster (can't post a link yet)

Thanks for the info!

Hey Shanghei, have you seen increased battery life? Bimmerd00d isn't, was wondering if that's true for you too.

Moto Atrix 2 extended battery and case/cover
Hello,
I just bought this extended battery for the Atrix 2, and it is awesome!!!
it extends my battery life and I get a full day's charge out of the phone.
I was only getting less than a half day out of regular battery and had to charge it up after lunch... Although I am new to this phone and am trying/figuring things out so I may drain the battery faster than normal, and was considering not keeping the phone since the regular battery drained sooooo fast... But, with this new extended battery I think it is like 2700 mh battery, it makes this phone so nice.
It does not increase the size too much, but is noticeably heavier. I'm talking about the larger Motorola battery from their website or AT&T. I bought it from the AT&T store and am Glad I did... If you need more battery life then I recommend buying this extended battery - you will be glad you did...

I placed an order on the Motorola Store. They are shipping in 4-5 days. Will see how it goes!

Which Motorola store ? I keep popping onto the Motorola site and it still says coming soon. Battery life on the A2's been better then I expected, but I could certainly use more. I really want the battery so that the camera lens is a little more protected without having to get a bulky case.
Does the new back still feel as snug/solid as the original ?
Motorola support told me the phone should still fit with the car and HD docking stations with the extended battery pack. Any idea if this is true ?
& Thanks for the pictures.

The HD docking station has space for the extended battery pack. The car adapter supposedly has a removable "shell" to fit the extended battery.
It does fit pretty snugly, though the bottom part on mine sorta gives in and squeaks a little if you press it in below the settings/home buttons. I could probably put a layer of electrical tape under the battery door to make it feel more solid though it doesn't concern me.
As far as the Motorola store goes, it looks like it shows "coming soon" if you try to get to the battery listing from the atrix 2 page, but if you come at it from the batteries and chargers page, it shows it in stock.
Currently second on the list here and it allows me to add it to my cart.
Another option for those want an extended battery but not quite so extended, mugen power just released an extended battery for the bionic with 2000mAh instead of 1735mAh.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...attery-for-verzion-motorola-droid-bionic.html
(bionic uses the same batteries as the atrix 2, since it's normal size you wouldn't need a battery cover)

Ran through a full charge on both now. It seems the extended and the standard reach 30% at the same time, but the extended one sits at 30% forever. Its simply a calibration thing at this point I think. It took 39hrs to kill the extended and 28 to kill the standard with my normal use
Sent from my Atrix 2.

I belive that if they could create a full bodied case with the extended battery built into it, I would jump on that. I refuse to walk out of the house without my case being attached to it. How do you people do it!!?? No case just walking around all naked and stuff.

I had my iphone 3gs for 2.5+ years with no case (just a vinyl back decal) and traded it in with it still in near perfect condition. I always keep my phone in my front pants pocket, screen towards my thigh (and I don't put change or keys in the same pocket). I only wipe the screen clean with a microfiber cloth, but otherwise, but a good deal of that time I was working as a mechanic, I'm not exactly dainty with my stuff. I tried a case, but they make it more difficult to pull the phone out of my pocket making for more awkward situations.
My only worry without the extended battery is that the camera lens is going to get scratched up every time I set it down.

What's the point in a case? Never had one, never broke/damaged/scratched a phone in 6 years.

Really? Is that even possible.? I am about the most OCD person I know with phone care and I HAVE to use a case. My favs are the Otterbox Commuter, Speck and some Casemates.
Have to say the extended battery looks like it adds a lot of bulk to the back. Will that really be necessary with the size of the battery in the A2?

Yeah, it doesn't have the softback texture does it? The positive thing I suppose is that it would keep the camera glass off of surfaces so you don't have to clean it off as often.

HTC Evo 3D and Sensation Battery Working in Desire HD!

I've been looking for a extended battery for my HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD) and I just got my HTC Sensation with an Anker 1900mAh battery. Turns out if you remove the battery door for the Desire HD, YOU CAN USE HTC SENSATION AND EVO 3D BATTERIES IN YOU DESIRE HD!
The only problem is that the battery door won't fit back on, so you'll need to break the Desire HD's battery door for the WiFi to work. When you put a case on it, nothing is noticeable.
I'll post pictures soon to prove it's worth.
I'm using my 1900mAh Anker bettery in it right now
Here's what needs to be done to Desire HD battery door:

Then after that's been done, put it back on the phone showed here:
Now put on a case (any will do) and now you have an Evo 3D or Sensation battery working in your Desire HD!!
If you want a new battery door, they are only $5.40 so mod away

My Sensation batteries are working great with it.

Is there any way to keep the battery door and to only alter it? I really don't want to break it apart

I agree, is there a way to keep the door? Maybe a special door that is made a lil different?

It would be a great help if the OP would post some more pics of the battery in the slot in some different angles.
And of how much the batt.-door doesn't fit and so on
Thanks in advance

sensation battery in DHD
Nice post sbryan, just a couple of things. Is that Anker battery a confirmed 1900mah? coz there are lots of replacement batteries claiming larger capacity. And has it effected ur WiFi reception at all? i.e: can u still get solid WiFi with no dropouts? coz I thought the battery door itself was the WiFi antenna. Think I'd be prepared to lose a little reception for an extra 670mah tho, that would be a massive improvement. cheers.

nice. thanks

So you're trying to say that I can push this 1950mAh Mugen battery in DHD and it will work???

Will def try this.
BTW, you can get the OEM HTC Evo 3D battery for $15 from Amazon.

Why's it necessary to break it in 2 parts? The second image implies that the new battery is just a little bit longer. Wouldn't it be just enough to remove the "innards" of the battery door and put it back on?
And as I am no friend of rubber between me and my object of desire I'd rather go for an translucent duct tape approach in order to keep the batt door properly closed.
Thx for the inspiration!

I bought an Anker 1900 mAh Sensation battery and a new battery cover to try this solution.
If this work, overclocking the CPU at 1.4GHz / 1.6GHz will make our DHD a top performer... As soon as I will get all the parts I'll try to remove the inner parts of the battery door and I'll let you know

I was also thinking the same thing. I have a sensation and have an ankler battery for that so I'm going to try using the stock battery. Just waiting on a new door cover so I can mutilate that

There are a few problems with this mod.
1. You'd Basically killed 3/4 of the wifi antennae, regardless of what you may think, you're killing the sensitivity of reception, and now probably using more 'juice' to maintain the integrity of the connection.
2. The part that you've broken/cut off is what held the battery firmly against the 4 power contacts. A nice jolt could 'shut off' your device and may cause data corruption (its possible).

1.?? The wifi antenna is the top bit of the battery cover, which OP put back on the phone.
2. Thus the piece of tape (clear shipping variety) to help hold it in place. BTW, I've probably pulled the battery a hundred times without ill effects.

Gotcha. Now I see it. Didn't realize the antenna extends across the battery cover. Thanks for the clarification.
Hmm, I'm thinking I can make an antenna using aluminum foil.
I received my Evo 3D battery today and it does indeed fit and works great. Fit is bit tight since the Evo 3D battery is a bit thicker (which actually works since the battery won't be moving around at all.) My TPU case fits but because of the longer battery (which pushes against the case), it doesn't sit perfectly. Nothing too noticeable and certainly liveable.
We'll see how the OEM HTC 1750mAh battery does vs. stock 1230mAh.

Ok, I've had the Evo 3D battery running last few hours and here are some observations:
- No problem charging the battery to full AFAICT (reset the batt stats just for kicks.)
- the aluminum foil as the DIY wifi antenna seems to be working fine. I laid down a 2" strip along the battery and unto the contact points, securing it with the cut piece of the battery cover.
- Before the mod I got 1 bar at the far end of my house. AFAICT same after the mod with aluminum strip. Good enough for me.
- I sanded down a strip (of ditch) on the inside of my TPU case where the bigger battery's edge was touching. Now the case sits just like stock.
- Call HTC customer support and tell them you need a replacement battery door. If your phone is under warranty period, you'll get one for FREE.
Finally a battery solution that gives me 42% more battery while keeping the same form factor. Thanks OP.
