After a couple of unsuccessful trials with replacement batteries (declared 1100-1200 mAh but always 900 mAh in the reality, tested with "htc test battery" found somewhere in this forum), I purchased a 1200 mAh from "pda-square.de".
Battery is same size of original 900 mAh battery.
I've inserted it in my Diamond and the response of htc test battery is: 1340 mAh
Now let's see how long it lasts in the real life....
After some days, what's your opinion about this battery?
In the "real life" my feeling is that the battery doesn't last so much more respect to a new original 900 mAh. Giving the increase in mAh (+50% respect to the original) I would expect a significant improvement.
What I've noticed is that now it takes much much longer to get the battery fully charged with the original charger.
The 900 mAh used to last how long with your normal use? (in hours)
And the new 1200 mAh ?
I can't tell you a number in hours, but consider that with the new 900 mAh battery I usually recharged it every 2 days, with "aged" 900 maH battery every day, and with new 1200 mAh I can come back to recharge every 2 days (when only 1 bar is left in the battery charge indicator on top of the screen).
I use it mainly for email and PIM, but I work in an area where signal is very poor so probably the radio receiver is always forced to absorb lot of enery to keep signal.
Dude, got a link to where you can buy these? Thanks!

Many thanx dear
I have purchased one from ebay for 17 euros, a 1200 mAh with the same size as the original 900 mAh battery, but tbattery.exe shows 900 mAh, so it's a fake one I think?
It's the following one: http://cgi.ebay.nl/Akku-f-HTC-Touch...Item&pt=DE_PDA_Zubehör_KM&hash=item5ad8f28c4b
I will leave the new battery in my phone, and will see if it lasts any longer, but I doubt it...

it seems i have more power available. the battery does not drain as fast as the other one.
for power users: there is a 2000 mAh battery available, with backcover
Does an extra 100mah make much difference? How much extra time are you getting out of the Mugen?
Hi, did it need a different backover ?

Guessing from the figures, that extra 100 mAh will give you 1/9 more battery life, i. e. if your Diamond had run for nine hours before, it would now run for ten. Personally, I don’t think this is much of an improvement. If you where, however, getting a 900 mAh battery anyway, the 1000 mAh one might be the better choice.
Only works on DIAM160?
it does not need a backcover.
so you still have the slim phone, but with just a little bit more power.

Ok hello there!
Got a short Q.
Is there any bigger battery's for HTC desire? i can change the plastic backside so it gets thicker if needed..
Were ever i look i only find Seidio 1600mAh.. but wonder if there is even bigger.
Best regards Thomas
I asked mugen power batteries about this about a week ago. they will release a "standard" 1600mAh during may.
The extended battery was under processing. not surrme what that means
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
hm. 200 more doesnt sound alot really.
I meen.. for if the phone is 2-3mm or even 5mm thicker does not matter for me.
and if soo maybe there is a 2000 or even 3000mAh avalible soon.
MVH Thomas
why need a larger battery? my desire last for hole 2 days with moderate to havy use. in light use I got up to 4 days.

Mugen Power already has available a standard size 1600mAH battery for Nexus One and HTC Desire share the same battery. (same HTC model number)

The OEM 1400 mAH is still better than 1600 mAH.

Mugen Power's 1300 mAH lasts longer that standard 1230 mAH (4-6 standby hours better) on my HD2. Hopefully the 1600 mAH for Desire lasts at least 10 hours more than original 1400mAH if has the same quality.

I am not sure, if you read the whole thread of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5936653
You will find out some interesting facts and figures, from user experience.
One user tested:
After running first the 2400 mAh for a couple of days, and getting more and more suspicious about the claimed mAh, then the 2700 mAh one and getting even more dissatisfied with that one, I decided to run a simple test to confirm my suspicions. I decided to put brightness at max, bluetooth on, leave sync on, GPS on and start up the video streaming app Qik. I ran it with live GPS tracking and left it on my living room table until it ran out of juice. First up was the standard 1350 mAh battery, it managed 110 minutes. Then the claimed 2700 mAh one, it survived 118 minutes, and at last the claimed 2400 mAh one, that managed 115 minutes. And this confirms my suspicions almost exactly, although I must admit I felt the 2400 mAh one was a bit weaker than the stock one, and the 2700 one a tiny bit better. But anyway, its so close to my experienced feelings after running them for several days at work, with very equal usage each day, that made all of them last almost the hole 8-9 hours on one charge, that I will not bother to run any more tests. Its good enough for me. So that means my claimed 2400 mAh battery is only around 1400 mAh, and my 2700 one is also only around 1400 as well. And this is batteries that are around twice as thick!

I'll test and report here... the HD2 version it's a good battery (no miracle, but noticeably better than original)
This external portable charger sounds promising. It has a claimed output rate of 700mA what is just as good as the original socket charger.
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4662&t_mode=des
The other with AA batteries is questionable as I suspect it has not more then 200-300mA output juice which will take your desire 8+ hours to recharge fully if not touched. What is way to much if you ask me!

Mugen Power Extended Battery for HTC Desire A8181 with battery cover in Brown 3200mAh
Ok, so my friend has an Evo 3D, and I have a sensation, this made it easy for us to buy battery's since thy're interchangeable. So we looked for the highest capacity battery and found one rated at 2500mAh.
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-X-2500MAH-Bat...ltDomain_0&hash=item336a412ba9#ht_1491wt_1395
So they just came in today and they're the same size as the stock oem one, but as I popped it in and charged it up, I was at 100% battery for 3 hours straight, followed by a semi-steep decline in battery life.
But as I read other threads, you can peal the sticker off to find a S/N that could give away the real mAh, so I've attached pics of what I've discovered and how my battery's faired all day.
Oh, and I'm running LeeDroid 2.2, freaking amazing rom.
Just wanted to post what I found.

A while, about 1:30 - 2 hours, I used maps for 30 min, then just checking email and reading some engadget.
If i remember correctly, the true mAh on the S/N is the last 4 numbers on the 2nd set of numbers.
So, your battery is only 1700 mAh instead of the 2500 mAh as advertised.

Dang that's disappointing, but better than stock so I can't complain!
Hmm.. 1700 mAh
not 2500mAh.....
Anything is better than stock....
I would tell people to stick to the chichitech or anker batteries.
perhaps it means 2x 1700 mAh = 2500 mAh with a light error in calculating ^^

Yeah right. LOL.
I can't see 2500 mah fitting into the same size shell. Batteries with that sort of specks usually require a new battery cover. Just look at the phones that require a new cover of with batteries near the same power output.
At least you do have a battery that gives you more up time than the stock though.
Think I'll be with the chichitec, myself.
Congratulations, you bought an anker/chichitec, according to those numbers they're all using the same cell, and they're all exaggerating the mAh ratings.
Btw stock is 1520mah
hey guys. After having the sensation for about three months i got pretty much sick and tired of the battery life and so i searched up and found an anker 1900 mah battery, do you guys think that it is actually worth buying it? I also heard from a friend that it reduces the overheating issue that the phone has, can anybody confirm this to be true?
Try to look around.... Anker battery topic has a lot of replies... You just need to open sensation accessories... Because battery is accessory....
Go on try, open... Its right there on the first page....
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
It's really work for me, but it's actually about 1830-1850 mah not 1900 mah as it state on a label.
Picked one up off Ebay and it's great. I can go a few extra hours compared to stock battery. Worth it for me.
so far after reading the reviews anker battery has got lots of positive reviews but unfortunately the price of the battery in malaysia is double so i opt for sunglobal 1850mah... http://www.sunglobal.com.my/enlarge.asp?id=93.... so far works fine for me for around 15 to 25 hours..
This is an interesting topic for me too. There are several brands offering batteries with extended capacity. Do you think that they are all the same, or Anker is the best?
Will rreplacig my stock sensation battery for the anker 1900 one reduce overheating

No. The battery is only part of the issue, your processor generates more heat.
For those thinking the Anker solves temperature issues, it doesn't have a temperature sensor included so always reports 25c no matter how hot or cold it gets.
Anker is 1900 mAh, and I saw another aftermarket batt on eBay listing 2450 mAh capacity.
Its easy to print a label with a higher capacity rating, so my question is has anyone tried it - feedback?
I got 2 Anker 1900 mAh batteries with external usb/plug recharger, I just swap them when one is discharged.
Now my phone works a lot longer but the greatest difference occoured when I stopped using Superpower app with it's 2G/3G switching scripts (2G preferred) and turn on airplane mode in the night when I sleep.
Now my phone works even 3 days when is lighlty used.
My Anker battery offered a great improvement at first, however six months down the line I'm not so sure its lasting as long as it used to - can't say I'm using my phone any more than I was, but I always seem to be in power saving mode now before I stick it on charge at the end of the day. Hopefully in another six months it won't have gotten any worse!

Fake, any battery above 2000 mah can't be like stock battery. Check Mugen 3200 mah. I have it. When on idle. I 'm getting 1 % down for an hr with mugen battery. Means 100 hrs standby with Edge\3G On ...
Mugen does ship battery to any part of the world at free of cost. So get it from them directly

In fact I would buy a new battery because the one I have now started to cause problems at the charge and discharge.
Do you have any advice for me? or a replacement with more capacity without having to add a thicker shell?

Thats normal if youre able to get a day of usage of your battery.
I bought a 2500mAh battery on eBay. Same size as stock, but it does not last much longer (~15% longer?) than the stock battery I had. I got the device lasting longer by installing the MildWild (based on Redux2) custom ROM. This ROM gives approximately an 80% increase of battery life (almost an additional day).
