Hello,
I have bought an unofficial 1340 mAh battery from ebay. I am talking for this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1340mAh-Batte...5bcebfa&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=
It is announced for HTC Touch Pro. However, as far as know this battery should be absolutely compatible with Diamond. That is the reason, I ordered the battery. Unfortunately this one doesn't want to work with my device, in spite of the fact it fits perfectly and looks the same. Is there anyone who could confirm or reject my assertion that both batteries are equal? Up to now, I am pretty sure that I have had a bad luck with this cheap item
All the best to all of you!
any details about the battery?
the e bay link doesn't work.
I have a GSM Diamond and Touch Pro (Fuze), and the Pro's 1340mah battery works in the Diamond.
I also have the Diamond's official 1340mah battery which also works in the Pro.

Hi, I've just been in the mobile shop, and asked for an original Touch Pro battery (1340mAh) to try it in my Diamond... It fits good, but it's too thick - it can not be used with diamond's standard battery cover!!!
@dsixda - what did you mean that Pro's 1340mAh battery works in Diamond? How thick is your Pro's battery?
Is there any standard size battery for Diamond with more capacity than 900 mAh???
Do a search in this forum, there are multiple threads about the Diamond's 1340mah extended battery.
The official Diamond 1340mah extended battery comes with a new back cover.

Just google for it:
"BP E270"htc
I dont know yet how many mah the battery has. But i know it is the extended battery for this phone.
Dutch people:
Google for:
"BP E270"nl
Its packed with a back cover because the battery its fatter
I expect that the new one will be a 1340 mAh version! Same like the MDA Vario IV, but that's still not certain.
1340mAh
The HTC Touch Diamond official battery is at present the BA S270 with 900mAh and the BP E270 battery is of the HTC Touch Pro (aka. Raphael) and has 1340mAh.
Since the two devices have the same dimensions barring the thickness the BP E270 is also compatible with the Diamond, but it will require what's named a 'blister' battery cover - which is basically adds a little more depth to the phone.
Cannot wait myself for an extended battery as I use my Diamond like a power-hog at the moment.

Maybe this one: HTC Touch Extended Life Battery - 1500 mAh is available, but I'm not sure it works on the Diamond but it's a battery for the Touch so i think it is possible...

2200 mAh, which seems plenty to me! With all the energy saving tweaks my standard battery lasts much longer than before, even to an acceptable level.

I can only see a .nl site, and nothing in english... lol any chance of u posing a link (that link to a preorder site for a 2200mah, just looks full of crap... the discription and pic are stupid, and they even advertise expandable memory for Diamond on that site lol, dont trust that site with a preorder imo)

No it is not possible. It's for the Touch, not Touch Diamond and i would recommend that you should change the name of the link because someone may misunderstood and buy that.

Yes it is.
You can visually see it in the pre-order link. Not to mention the extra back cover. If it was the same size there wouldn't be a need for the secondary cover.

it looks like the official HTC extended battery, no ? Any unoffcial batteries apart from the mysterious easydevices uk one ?

Nice to have a better battry but it looks more to change youre HTC Diamond in a HTC QuasiModo
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.
Hi guys, just wonder does raphael extended battery fit htc diamond?
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=172018
Anyone know?
it would seem reasonable that it might - it depends on whether the fixing for the back cover is different on the Touch Pro. One could reasonably expect it to be - might have provision for difference in case caused by things like mem card slot etc.
Saying that though, that pic on the website is actually of the Diamond extended battery, so it might look nothing like that and be obviously different!
Yes it does. I did a comparison with my battery and the diamond extended battery kit, and it's the same size.
They are the same battery E270, but need to buy alongwith the battery cover in order to fit the battery onto Touch Diamond.
The point is not about the battery fitting - thats certain as the 1340Mah battery for the Diamond is basically the standard battery in the Raphael. The question is, does the back cover fit? Easy way to answer this is if someone has access to both can see if the back covers are interchangeable (would need to be done without the battery in the phone!).
I would say that the 1800MAh battery for the Pro fits the extended battery cover BP270 (sold with the 1340 MAh battery) for the Diamond. There will be no extra cover for the 1800MAh battery for the Diamond and the cover for the Pro doesn't fit the Diamond.
So you are saying that the 1800mAh battery of the HTC Diamond Pro can be putted in the HTC Diamond with the cover of BP E270 ?
If it is true, that will be so nice !
any news ?

don be happy too fast... there used to be report of 1800mAh (compatible battery) blocking the GPS antenna Signal causing no GPS signal... does the 1800mAh extended battery of Pro have the same effect for Diamond as well?
It is not the battery which block the GPS signal but the battery cover.
I think we can´t use the extended battery from the raphael....
Because on the HTC webshop http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/de/p_htc_item.aspx?i=172018&p=tech
They sell the HTC Touch Pro Extended Battery incl Cover BP E272 (1800 mAh, Black/Blister)!!
I think its still bigger then the 1340mAh Battery because that new cover (BPE272) for the Touch Pro!!
And the guys here said that the Battery Cover from the Touch Pro don´t fit on the Diamond
==> that mean we can´t use it on the Diamond (maybe without back cover but not a slution for me )
Bad........
Who know that Battery for Diamond CDMA can fit to T-Mobile Compact IV?
I want to buy Diamond CDMA Battery but not sure it can fit to T-Mobile Compact IV.
It more capacity 1350mAh with original back cover.
Thanks
DAMMNNNN!
I just spent £11.99 on a 1800 batt with a bigger 'diamond' casing....if i knew i could get a 1350 batt the same size as the original I would have waited!! oh well! got any pics? wud be interested to see if this is true!!
Cheers!
I don't think the 1350 mAh battery can fit with the original cover on the GSM Diamond. If this is the case, HTC wouldn't have to sell the 1340 mAh battery with a slightly thicker cover.
hi, what is the biggest battery / biggest capacity you can buy that you can use with the standard HTC case?
i would like to buy an original battery after reading peoples comments about GPS and excessive heat, and i dont want to make the phone any bigger.
the htc website has the 1100mah as a direct replacement. although is it really going to make much difference going from 900mah to 1100mah... what real world difference is it going to make? like 2 hours?
i think its strange how no-one knows this.
The move from 900 to 1100 would be very minimal.
Just get a 1340? It really doesn't make it too thick.
I ordered this one.... 1500maH....
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoce..._1_2?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1249321047&sr=8-2
It says I dont need a need back cover and it fits properly in existing space. Have not received it yet. I had to get it for the wife as I have moved on to the TD2 and she is using my TD now with the old batt which is on it's last legs....
Double post... sorry...
eskasi, let us know if it fits.
Thanks
I think 1340 mAh is the battery with most power you can get into a standard back case. I'm gonna order a 1800 in few days (http://www.mytrendyphone.se/shop/batteri-htc-touch-14547p.html) and that really needed a new back case, tho I don't think it will look too bad, will be easier to hold the phone and stuff.
@ArtieQ:
I wouldn't buy that battery if I was you.
You should check my 1800mAh battery + new back cover:

has this arrived yet? mind giving us some feedback? looks good, ive got an ignito aswell
@Srem:
My English is not good so I can't give clear feedback - I hope that you can understand what I say:
1. The battery is bigger - must change the back cover ( included ). My diamond is more heavy and now I can take it more easier in my palm.
2. I can use Engery Rom nearly 4 days with new battery - or 6 days with new Cloudyfa's rom ( I've just tested with Phone function only )
3. Have no problem with GPS with new cover.
4. It isn't hot when do reset / hard-reset.
kinda new to modding of phones so just wondering if this will work with my phone or not, ive got the p3051
Hi everyone,
I found this battery, capacity is 1500 mAh and page says "Fits in existing space so no replacement door is needed", is there anyone using this battery. Or any else suggestion?

The HTC Touch Diamond Sprint is more rounder than HTC Touch Diamond.
By the way....
Does anyone knows if HTC Touch Diamond Battery size is the same for HTC Touch Diamond Sprint (or HTC Touch Diamond Pro) ??
Also, anyone who has bought the 1500 mAh can tell if the battery is good and if it fits on the HTC Diamond?
