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:

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........
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.

Hello, I've searched on eBay and found some interesting high capacity batteries with low price for the HTC Sensation.
1650MAh High Capacity Battery for HTC Sensation - $5
1800MAh High Capacity Battery for HTC Sensation - $11
I'd like to hear your opinion on the reliability of these batteries because I'm a little suspicious because of the very low price. I already have a cheap 1600MAh battery (bought on eBay) for my Desire and I haven't had any problems with it but I'd not like to risk my new Sensation. As you can see the 1800MAh battery I link above is in a retail package so it should be more reliable and it has a lot more capacity than the stock battery of the Sensation.

One question, how come they have higher capacity over HTC and cost less money? I truly believe that if HTC could efficiently put more mAh in they would.
With current battery technology you would require a battery that was physically bigger to fit the extra capacity.
Be suspicious

But, other phones like the GS2 have higher capacity battery in the same form factor. I can't really know if this is really 1800MAh but I can purchase it and if it's not I'll just make a paypal dispute or keep it as a backup battery.
I like the funny oxymoronic title. I'd imaging the battery on sale is either no 1800MAh or would not hold the charge as long as the stock battery.
But I'll buy one as I need a backup battery. I'll report back after couple of weeks use.
Giorgis, search HTC Desire capacity tests. Basically, batteries have something, let's call it "efficiency". HTC battery was 96%, and that is considered top notch in the battery world. Cheap ones, had "efficiency" of 70-80%, so even with less capacity, HTC outperformed them.
I've bought these cheapo batteries before on my nexus one, MT3G, MT4G, HD7 and now just ordered Sensation...they are hit and miss.
Every one of the batteries were used as backup emergency situations but each one for each phone lasted around 2-4 hours less then the OEM battery. The exception was the 2 higher capacity batteries I bought for my HD7 which lasted just as long as the OEM one...
It's $10-20 and the ones I have bought in the past all come with an external battery charger that also serves as a multi purpose USB charger...and have not damaged any of the phones so far ...Keeping my fingers crossed :$

Hey guys from the g2/dz forums!
The other day i came across a post that said that batteries for the evo shift where compatible with the g2/dz but they didnt show any proof
so later i found this freaking good deal on ebay that comes with 3 1800 mah batteries and a battery charger for a very low price
here is the link
Can someone please confirm this to me before i purchase them please!
I do know G2's batteries work in the Evo Shift. So yeah i would take it shifts batteries will work aswell
I am using an EVO 1800 mah battery in my G2. Get about 1 day and a half on CM7.1.
Ok thanks for the replies!
I guess im buying those batteries!
No don't get these batteries I did and they are not worth it they are at best 900 mah batteries and are way worse than stock and a month after using them they take nearly 8 hours to charge and 2 of them have this weird issue where it will start at 100% and just shut off when you start to do anything on the phone that uses a lot of battery and when you reeboot the phone it will display 17% battery left.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!

Not sure about the reds... for 17 bucks they probably are a knock off, but I am using the white HTC OEM Evo 1800 mah battery. Have been since the G2 came out. Got 2 and charger for $40 and still running great.
i have both an evo shift and a desire z. The batteries look almost exactly the same and the evo shift battery slides right into the desire z without any modification. The only problem is, the door doesnt fully close with the evo shift battery because it is like a hair thicker. I'm sure u can get it to close by pulling off the wrapper... but if you're going to go thru all the effort to mod it, you might as well get an evo battery (which has more mah then evo shift battery) and mod that lol.
i had the evo shift 1500mAh battery it does fit, but the battery door will not close fully. Returned the battery and ordered the HTC Incredible 2 battery 1450mAh perfect fit battery door closed all the way. I was a bit pricey at $30 but its oem.
Well apparently batteries for the G2 are used in many other phones.
This OEM original battery is made and manufactured by HTC and is directly compatible with your HTC devices. The lithium ion technology allows for longer lasting talk and standby times as well as charging with no effect on memory. This 1500 mAh battery is a perfect replacement or spare for your HTC phones.
OEM HTC Part Numbers: RHOD160 / 35H00123-00M / 35H0012300M
The HTC 1500mAh Standard Lithium Ion Battery, manufactured by HTC is compatible with the AT&T HTC Tilt 2, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Hero (Sprint), HTC Imagio, HTC Ozone, HTC Snap S522, HTC Snap (Sprint), HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint), HTC Touch Pro 2 (T-Mobile), HTC Touch Pro2 (Verizon Wireless) and T-Mobile Dash 3G phone models.

Don't buy non OEM batteries on ebay.. they are alll crap! Bought a 1500mah and the description states clearly "1500mah" and its worst then my stock battery... but it costed me 3$ lol
