New 1000 mAh standard size battery from Mugen

Touch Diamond will be equiped with 1000 mAh battery without sacrificing the shape, size and impression of using extended battery.

That's great, although the capacity isn't that much higher than the original....
Release date?

100 ???
will that really make a real diffrance????

The Mugen webpage tells release date is end of August. There might have not much difference between the OEM 900 mAh with this 1000 mAh, but it is good that Mugen can enhance the battery by this 100 mAh. User can still choose to buy OEM extended battery which has 440 mAh more but has to use another cover with extended size.

you guys say its not that much - but its an 11% increase! which if your battery lasts 24 hours now - this new one will be an extra 2 and a half hours - its up to you guys if its worth it - im considering it!

I'm not too impressed with the lifetime of the Mugen batteries. I've had two in different PDA's and I've experienced short lifetimes.

not as short as the life in my diamond battery!

Seidio say they will have an OEM sized extended battery that will be more along the lines of 1100mah.. That's the one I'm waiting for.

sounds more like it! 22% increase! woo!

I wonder of its lifetime - some of my rechargable 2500 mAh last shorter than those of 2000 mAh running the exact same device after a few usages. Let's hear the experience once you have tried it.

No probs - if they ever release it... They said end of July, so I guess we can expect it any day now.

Well, there is an OEM sized battery on Siedos site now, but it is only 1000 mAh.

In europe the diamond have a 900mAH so 1000mAH doesn't give more. Perhaps 1 or 2 hours in stand by ?

I know - what a shame....

It's a shame the promised capacity hasn't appeared, but the 11% increase will certainly help me. With the original to carry as a spare I doubt I'll have to change often, but atleast I'll have the option.
As far as the HTC delay is concerned, I have a feeling they may surprise us, with an original sized extended capacity. Their theme is 'innovation' afteral, and there have been some interesting developments in Lion batteries recently. They have the punch to make investments in the right place. I'm holding out hope anyway lol.

I found a 1050mAh battery
Hey guys, I just fund this on amazon.de. It looks to be standard size.

I just ordered one. I've had good experiences so far with the seller. I'll report back once I get it.

There is one little issue with these kind of batteries, they may catch fire if not properly designed and for the phone. I the east you get batteries rated from A to AAA depending on how good they are and the risk. It doesn't happen often but make sure your phone is ventilated (not put on a carpet or covered) while recharging over night

Do you believe what capacity they print on that battery??? I wouldn't unless someone test it. I used to work with Cadex battery analyzer and believe me, there are so many lies on batteries even brand new ones as GP, Energizer, etc. Consider buying it...
You better buy this one for 7USD with worldwide free shipping:

[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?

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.

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

Mugen Power 1800mAh Battery or EVO 4G 1800 mAh Battery?

So, I was thinking of getting an extended battery for my Desire Z and I need some opinions. The batteries I found are:
Mugen Power 1800 mAh
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...nded-battery-for-htc-desirez-t-mobile-g2.html
EVO 4G 1800 mAh (2 Batteries)
http://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Batter...sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1294181018&sr=8-1
Price doesn't make a difference too me, I just need better battery life.

They're both pretty much the same thing. If you read through the other battery thread you would know... but I don't blame you for not reading it that thread is loooong!
Anyway I'd go with the chichitec ones since there's 2 of them and a wall charger. Seems like a much better deal.

The mugen fits better. it's made for our phones. the evo 4g leaves a slight bulge on the battery door. annoying for the OCD.
i have both, and i prefer the mugen

The one he posted is not an OEM EVO battery. It is made by chichitec for the EVO. And you can peel the wrapper off of it and it'll fit fine with no bulge.

actually it doesn't. i have the chichitec batteries. i took the wrapper off, AND sanded it. and there is still a bulge. its minor, but it's there.

If you use the Chichi's the bulge in the battery door will eventually ruin the battery
door . It bends the hinges because of the stress over time and then if you decide
to go with the OEM or Mugen battery the battery door is loose and doesnt fit right
anymore . The Chichi's are a bad idea for Vision/Z owners because it ruins the phone.
If you dont care about a $500+ device then so be it but I take care of my phones
like theyre my babies . A cheap $30 battery isnt worth ruining an expensive device .

This will happen...unless you really sand down the battery. I sanded quite a lot of mine and now it fits just fine.

I sanded mine so much there was very little plastic left . The metal casing
is what kept the door from closing fully . And its rigged to have a piece of
paper under the battery to keep it from shorting out on the SD card tray .
The Chichi's are a bad idea . The Mugen 1800 fits correctly with no rigging
and door issues .

Btw, does anyone know the best place where to buy the Mugen 1800mAh from, their website has it for $45.00 plus free shipping, but 15-25 days shipping and a mugen distributor has it for around $53 including shipping and with a 5% off coupon.

I've been running red Chichitech Evo batteries for 2 and half months, no bulg, no warped door over time, no problems. All I did was remove the wrapper, no sanding or cutting needed.

Having purchased the mugen 1800, I've seen a minimal improvement in battery life across multiple roms. I thought an additional 500 mah would have I bigger improvement.
When I say minimal, an additional 2 hours, I got 8 hours from stock and only 10 from mugen. Obviously I'm a heavy user but I expected at least 30% increase for 30% more mah.
I think I may have been better served with the seido 1700.

My thoughts basically. I'm definitely not seeing a 30-40% improvement in battery life!

I was unfortunate to receive a bad Chichi battery I think. The battery kept restarting on me every time I close my keyboard after using it. The battery also would not power on the phone on it's own. I eventually got it running for an hour and it just died. Tried charging it but couldn't get it to work. No way I could exchange the batter after I have taken the wrapper off and clip some of the plastic off to make it fit. I don't know why people are saying there is no bulge when there especially is one with minor modification.
I would go with a Mugen or Seidio extended battery.

This is turning into a hard decision for me lol, don't know which one to get...

If I were you, and I have the extra cash, I'd go for the mugen.
But, if you don't and need to save all the cash you can get, (like me) go for the red chichis. I went for it and my chichis are awesome! the first week it was worse than the stock battery but then after that the performance was phenomenal. I would usually get around 11 hours of battery life with light use. Now I get around 15 hours or more with moderate use.
Today I made about 1 hour and 30 mins worth of phone calls, some facebooking, some xda browsing, little bit of music, one 5 minute youtube vid, and some regular browsing. I'm currently at 42 percent left of battery life and took my phone off the charger a little less than 11 hours ago.
But the thing with the chichis are that sometimes you get the good ones, sometimes you get the bad ones. My 2 cents.

Innocell 3300mAh Extended Life Battery (no longer 3000mah)(pics update, Review later)

Just received the battery from mobilecityonline.com. Ordered Tuesday came on Saturday $60 shipped. Here are some pic's will do a review when I can test it. Any question's please ask.
Initial impression:
The battery itself is bigger than the China 3500mah, The back cover doesn't fit over the sedeio battery. The plastic is thinner than the china back cover but thicker than the oem samsung back cover, not able to stand it up on it's side. The case it difficult to put on, but fits very well. It's gonna suck when my phone locks up and i have to pull the battery.

Can be bout cheaper for about $55

Just order one came out to about $60 the don't charge tax at least in California. Still have my cheapo ebay 3500mah battery but it still doesn't last me the day. Will post review when i Get it.

Hrm....so then what about those of us that bought the 3000 mAh Innocell? I'm wondering if this battery is actually 300 mAh bigger or if they just changed the rating on the battery. I'd like to get my extra 300 mAh, especially as much as the 3000 mAh cost.

According to androidcentral.com it is a different battery.
http://androidforums.com/epic-4g-accessories/244950-review-seidio-3000mah-extended-life-battery.html
Customer79: Hi Kevin,
Customer79: I have a Samsung Epic 4G phone.
Kevin: hi
Customer79: I see that you have a 3000 mAh and a 3300 mAh battery for this phone. Is this indeed the case or is it a mis-type of some kind?
Kevin: we have updated the 3000 to 3300
Customer79: If I bought the 3000 last week, is it a 3000 or is it in reality a 3300?
Kevin: 3000mAh is 3000mAh
Kevin: the new version is 3300mAh
Customer79: I think I read something somewhere that suggested that the 3000 was originally intended to be a 3300, but was de-rated to correspond better with real-life use. Is this the case? Could I get performance approaching 3300 with my recently purchased 3000 battery?
Kevin: no that is not possible
Customer79: OK. I sure wish I knew the 3300 was coming up before I ordered the extended 3000 batteries for my 2 household phones.
So...I guess the 3300 is a 3300. I think we all have to accept that technology is constantly changing with these phones. You got to hop in when you can and expect things to constantly upgrade and change. Clearly, my battery situation is much better with this 3000 mAh battery. My daily life no longer revolves around find a place to plug in my phone. Is 300 mAh really going to change your day? Not really.

Yea it's not a huge deal to me, at least not enough to go through the process of exchanging my battery. Just wish they would have made some mention of the 3300 coming so I could have just waited. Of course they wouldn't do that, because then no one would buy their 3000's and they'd have a bunch of leftover stock.

Would love to see a test between the 3300 mah and the cheapo 3500 mah batteries. Any chance that you would feel like running a test like that???

I planning too when i get the sedio battery.

While I haven't ran a methodical test but I know my Innocell 3000 mAh definitely lasts longer (or so it seems, placebo effect?) than my generic 3000 mAh. Of course, if the Seidio is actually 3000 mAh, then that should be right since the generic 3000 mAh is just two 1200 mAh batteries wired together.

While I haven't ran a methodical test but I know my Innocell 3000 mAh definitely lasts longer (or so it seems, placebo effect?) than my generic 3000 mAh.

Seidio extended batteries are usually around 82% of rated capacity.
That would put the Seidio 3000mah at around 2460 mah.
That is why I would love to see a test between the two that reduces all variables to make it as fair as possible. Something like putting the phone in airplane mode with brightness and volume maxxed, setting the phone to play a movie file repeatedly until it turns off and measuring the time.

Ah I see. I would do this if I had my spare phone on hand, but unfortunately I don't. I might do it one of these days when I'm at the library studying.
Are there any other suggestions as to how to test the battery life?

The only way to test the "battery life" is to see how many charge and discharge cycles you can get. You need a tester circuit that accelerates this process or you will be doing this for a long time. Alternatively you can do a discharge test and so long as you use the same circuit you can then make some intelligent guesstimates in comparing the batteries.
The problem with mfgs are that they don't use the same parameters in testing. Thus two identical batteries can be rated at different capacities.
The short answer: Buy a high quality battery and forget the BS.
Brought 2 u via Bonzai! v 5

I hear that, Hopefully the sedio preforms well. I am starting to realize it makes more sense carrying an extra oem battery then having a cheapo extended one, due to the size it adds.

I got 3 extra samsung batteries and so extended batteries don't make a lot of sense. I usually get them for free as well.

I too have a couple of spare batteries, but it was a pain in the ass having to keep them with me and swap batteries, charge batteries, etc etc. I much prefer having one extended as opposed to multiple spares.

Same here, the only downside is the thickness the battery adds to the phone. I HAVE to use my extended battery at work since I'm nowhere near a charger, listen to my music all day and paint in a dungeon so there is a lot of crap that could possibly get inside my phone when switching batteries but on the weekends I rock the regular battery.

For me, the only disadvantage to the thickness is not being able to use a case. I don't mind the thickness at all (I was a former Treo lover LOL), but it bugs me not having a case on the back half of my phone.

Can be bout cheaper for about $55

If you are talking about the extended battery cover then you just have to push on it really hard to snap it into place, it also helps to squeeze the edges inward

1600/1800mah Ebay Batteries

Hi everyone,
I'm a happy owner of a unbranded HTC Sensation (1.34 Rom).
I'm reading every day the different post on the HTC Sensation XDA forum... thanks to the wonderful community.
I'll like to give my 5-cents input.
I've ordered different things from ebay from this phone.
A few usb cables, covers, screen protectors and batteries
I ordered 3x 1800mah batteries and 1x 1600mah battery from diff. sellers (Chinese) on ebay.
I tried them all the last couple of weeks, but wasn't satisfied by them.
So, I decided to take of the stickers (on the 1600 and 1800mah)
I found, to my surprise, that the 1600mah battery is only a 1100mah (see picture).
I've also ripped of the sticker of the 1800mah battery, but there was no printing at all (I suspect same capacity)..
I've now ordered the e-cell 2430mah battery and will test it when it arrives..
If the performance is as low as the others I try to take of the sticker to see what the real capacity is!
I hope other people can be helped by this.
Cheers,
Davy

I bough a 1500 evo battery for my incredible. The guy had 99.8 feedback. He is a seller from new York. Not a disappointment so far. After 15 hours with heavy use I could be at 50/40% . So I'm happy with the purchase.
However I did buy 1800 battery from China and it was worse then my stock 1300 battery. Now that I found this post it make sense now. I will try to take that sticker off and update

thank you for doing this. How can you tell from the picture that it is 1100? Is that on the scratched out part?

Hello,
Sorry for the bad picture.
If you look closely on the battery (left buttom side), you'll see 0mah
and 110 on the sticker...
That makes 1100mah..sorry can't make any better pictures as the inkt is almost all onto the sticker....
Cheers,
Davy

Thank you. Mine is exactly the same as your 1800 one. Same issue, only about 1100 real charge.

Interested to see what the 2430mah is all about. Does it come with a replacement back cover? I got the Chichitec 1900 and I believe it's totally legit. the battery lasts about 25 hours of normal use for me. I can't really ask for anything else really.
