hi all,
i've just bought this battery:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2200MAh-Extende...yZ130790QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
as soon as it arrives, i'll post some pics & impressions
if anyone has the same battery, please tell us how it performs!
greets
i'm a little concerned about the cover (as displayed in the picture) and how it covers the camera. i'll be interested in how that back cover fits. look forward to the pics...
Just arrived!
Extended Battery arrived today!
Looks good at first sight some use will tell if it's really good.
comes in a nice package, battery is sink wrapped itself (nice touch) and shows an hologram. back cover fits well, there's no slop. Thickness raises a bit, quite acceptable for a trade of longer run time Actually trinity don't feel bad in hand with extended cover..
it come with 60% remaining charge. I'll charge overnight whis evening..
here's some pics!
here's some other...
thanks for the pics... can you take a couple more pics looking from the top and bottom of your Trinity while face (screen) down? it appears to me that the new cover has nicely rounded contours and does not distract from the devices' overall appearance. thanks again.

Thanks for the great pics. Please let us know about the practical battery perfromance, compared to the stock 1500.
When testing various batteries made for Prophet, I found that the extended time batteries "leaked" faster than stock.
Can you install the BatteryStatus cab & let us see the comparison?
Thanks.
@dave: color matches my black trinity
@cortezzi: sorry, i couldn't make any pics with my digital camera, maybe next days i'll have some time to do them
@deviluck: since now, i used my trinity in many ways (pda, internet sharing, etc) so since i don't have a "regular" usage pattern, i can't tell exactly and scientifically how this battery performs. I could tell you my feeling about it, instead. I can tell that it lasts about 30% longer than original battery and it get less warm when using "connection sharing", the most battery demanding app i use. Actually, when i got new battery i also installed WM6 and since then i noticed battery stays much cooler with conn.sharing (this effect is also with the standard battery, so this effect is somewhat doubled by new battery and WM6).
Discharge curve seems to be more regular, while the original stays "full" (80-90%) region then it jump to "empty" region (30-20%) quite fast, this extended one seems to stay also in the middle region more time, showing a more "linear" discharge. Also, i can still use the famous silicon cover, it enlarges a bit but still usable
I think i'm still breaking in, so maybe performance will increase still a bit.
I'm interested to buy this, what do you guys think? For those who have this, any feedback, including its performance, would be appreciated. For the price, I can actually get two HTC or four Momax 900 mAh batteries, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. By the way, the cover is mat instead of glossy.
I found the pictures on Google.
Well, I really love the matt finishing and overall high quality. Thats the finishing that HTC should have given in the original batt.
With the old glossy surface, the pyramid peaks are very vulnerable to scratches, and you can see whitish tiny scratches on the peaks. With the ext-batt's rubbery surface, it's almost scratch proof. I've been using the batt for 4-5months and it's still perfect.
As for the thickness.. frankly, 14mm is still thinner than most PPCs out there.
Enough of aesthetics.. My phone now lasts >50% longer.. which is good for me. Thats abt 2 days with some MP3s. Used to be low end of every day, which makes no sense coz you know 15-20% batt won't get you through the whole of next day.
My advice is.. get the batt as a long term investment. If you're gonna sell the phone after 6mths, bear with the lousy original batt.
Hi MasK, thanks for the input, it's very helpful.
I think I will probably keep this phone till November or December, because by that time I can get a free phone from my provider, I will just sell that right away and the Diamond to get something new. Yeah the glossy finish is really easy to scratch, right now I've to use a case to protect it.
There is another option that I'm considering, it's the HTC battery bank BB G300. It's sightly more expensive, but I can keep it for future HTC phones or any phones that use the same connector. The only thing is I'm not a huge fan of carrying extra devices on me.
Extended battery
I decided to buy this battery when I one day ran out of battery at 7pm and desperately needed to send an email.
It certainly improved battery life by up to 50% and i don't think it makes the phone uglier. It's only a few mm thicker (i think 3mm) but only the fact that I get two days out of it with hotmail pushed and OWA pushed through emoze and average calling, texting emailing and surfing, should convince you to buy the battery.
The only problem I had was the HTC pouch that came with the phone. When you have the extended battery on, it won't fit your diamond any more, so I had to buy another one (a generic HTC leather pouch).
Hope it helps...
What I don't understand is, why do they only thicken the battery? They could also use the new space above and below the battery (looking straight onto the backside of the Diamond).

I think it's not as simple to produce a battery in some odd shape, they also have to consider about the compatibility with other models.
I got mine last week and it's great.
Mat finis is actually better than glossy - no fingerprints and I think it's going to be more durable in the long run.
As for battery life - now I can use my Diamond normally for two days, I had to charge the normal battery every day.

I just received mine today, I'm glad I went for it.
looks like im gonna have to invest in this battery...
I've decided to go for it, and have orderes the BP E270.
Can anyone recommend some cases that would fit the 3mm fattened diamond?
Thanks,
Dave
Having owned the extended battery (and getting rid of it). I have to say I didn't like at all, the phone just felt wrong. I appreciate it only make the phone a couple of mil thicker but trust me, it wrecks the feel of the phone. If the phone came with the exteneded battery to start of with, I may have been happy with it.
Another problem I had with it, was that the back was always coming loose and sliding forward when I tried to take the phone out of my pocket.
If you are having problems with the power of your phone, then by all means get the extended battery but I'm telling you the extended makes your phone feel like a brick and even worse, makes it feel cheap.
I tend to disagree, the phone feels much better in my hand (my opinion), I liked the thin looks of the phone with the original battery, but I could never hold it properly, it slipped from my hand a couple of times, lucky it fell on the carpet. Now I like it much better, plus having the added benefit of the extra power. At the end of the day, it's a question of choice, some of you might like it, some of you might not, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here.
Mine has arrived, and I really like it. As said earlier, the matte finish is much better, and the small increase in size actually makes it easier/nicer to hold.
Any suggestions on a pouch or case that fits it?
The extended battery is actually the same thickness as the 900mAh battery with a silicon case ;-) Actually I normally use a Tek Sock pouch with my extended battery.. but for now, i just have a screen protector and will try for a few days without a pouch/case.
hi i got mine today its beetter than the old one htc must have done this before n replaced all batterys like nokia did for mathatushita battery which recently got blasted
i got it for RS-3,000 inr< indian national rupee> wat abt others cost
just got mine yesterday.. however mine is the white colour version.. so still have the glossy back cover..
i check the battery status using powerguard and the battery voltage is always around 3.9V to 4V.. and the phone gets heat up v fast.. to more than 39 degree.. is my battery faulty or it is normal for the extended battery to behave like this??

im playing games.. but when using the original 900mAh battery, it wont get so warm.. with the extended battery, when it have around 80% battery left, the voltage is like 4.1V to 4.2V.. which i think is very high.. thats why causing the phone to heat up so much..
can anyone confirm with me that it is normal to get 4.1V to 4.2V when the battery life is more than 70%?? or is my battery faulty?? it will drop to 3.6V to 3.7V when battery life is less than 50%..
I've got mine today... I thinks it looks better than the glossy one and with the extra mAh...
Does anyone found a good case for the new package?
Anyone can help me find an another one battery, seems that it's ran out of stock now !
I bought the Platinum extended battery for the Nexus s 4g today thinking it would fit my nexus s NON 4g. Needless to say that the cut out on the battery cover does not line up with the power button.. Can anyone confirm that the 4g's power button is a little higher than the rest or did i just get a faulty peice? And also the battery erased alot of my widgets for some reason and reset my keyboard to OEM... kinda confused. Thanks!
I have a proporta mizu case, which is made for the nexus s, but I have the 4g version, and I can confirm that the power button is indeed placed slightly higher in the 4g version vs the regular version.
Thank you very much for the quick response! That was all I really needed to know!
Does someone has this one?
3600mAh Mugen power
At "Special Price" of $104.95 I don't think I would want it. Back cover looks horrible, instead of making a hump they kept the width consistent with a slight curve.
My phone looks smaller with BALLISTIC case on. Battery life is no longer an issue if you have a small charger like below, just keep it in your pocket and charge your phone while it is not in use.
the reason there is no hump like on the HD2, is because the back cover is required to get a signal, due to the contact pins being right there. The back cover isn't a 3 piece back cover, so they can't make a part have a hump, and the rest not.
I have not used this one but I'm currently using their 3300mah for Nexus S...I payed their price and I must tell, they do a good customer support job for the price they ask for it.
Speedtest?
Can anyone shed light on why speedtest had a faster download with the extended battery installed?, is it simply more powerful because I would have thought the power was regulated by the phone itself?
Is it likely to be a better aerial in the back of the Mugen case?
Thanks.
Terry
That thing is ugly
If you have to replace the battery door, how do you expect the antennas to work?
That's... HUGE!
The size is too big, and out of my price range
I have one, it gives me enough power to last until the next morning without a charge. The wifi sucks now since the back doesn't have the metal antenna connectors, but everything else works fine. The back is ugly as hell, but its worth it to be able to last at least a day.

Wifi sucks? Have you asked mugen about this? It's very bad.

The aerial is probably better than the original HTC one, so faster results, they could afford to make it a lot bigger as the back of the phone is a lot bigger
So far so good! Loving my new HTC Beluga!
All kidding aside though... Ditch the skinny Jeans kids, you're killing your sperm!
Thickness is not always bad thing (that's what she said)

Yes, they sent me a new back to the phone, but it didn't fix it. If I switch to the old battery/back then its fine and works great, but with the back they sent me, my range is now severely limited and certain ways of holding the phone drops my signal altogether.
Well a friend of mine is offering a mugen 3600mah(!) battery unopened for 50 euros... that's about half the price I can find it in retail.
I'm still waiting for my Anker batteries, but I'm -seriously- thinking of getting that as well... do you think it's worth the price, will it really get me ~2.5x the battery time I have now (including drain) or I'll end up with roughly 3-4 hours extra?
Just waned to add that Mugen Power has a slim solution that is OEM sized but still gives about 15% juice.
1950mAh

As far as battery size goes, it looks like a perfect fit for the original back. There won't be a bump or need for over-sized back cover.
As far as the mah's of the battery are concerned, I would say there is little to no way that thing is a 2430mah battery. If memory serves me correct, our stock battery is 1550mah. You're not squeezing almost 1000mah of power into that package without making it bigger. I have the Anker 2800mah battery and it comes with the over-sized back cover. It's a great battery, but in my opinion there is no way you're fitting 2430mah into a small form-factor.
