I've seen a bunch of battery on eBay. But I'm worried since their mostly from China. Does anyone have experience with one of these or know of an official desire or inspire battery?

I haven't seen one yet. Those cheap batteries often are no where near the capacity they claim so steer clear for now
I bought one from eBay for $4.89. It claims to be 1600 mah. So far it hasn't given me a problem but the battery life seems to be about the same than the official one.

I have been looking for a longer lasting battery as well. My battery only lasts about 8hrs if I use it alot.
Anyone care to review batteries they've bought?

It's pricey, but I suppose I'd rather it be pricey than $3 bucks, lol. AND it's in the US. I may give it a look see. What do you guys think?

why pay so much for battery? i got charger at home, car, work. less then $15.
There are quite a few other 1600mAh Desire HD batteries on eBay, mostly in Hong Kong, one in Canada, for significantly less than the $103 price. That's just an insane amount of money to pay for a battery. Personally I'm happy to find one that performs as well as the stock battery and pair it with a plug-in charger so I can swap mid-day if needed. It would be killer to find a battery charger for the car too.

Does said battery make me breakfast in the AM?

Why not just plug the phone in while in the car? The adapters/cables are only a few bucks.

Well the reason people buy extended batteries are because they're away from some type of charger, or don't want to hassle with a charger all day. I am one who wants to get the maximum possible out of a device, without compromising on reprogramming things to conserve battery. I'd LOVE to see a 1600 mah battery that got good reviews, but thus far everyone says since they're made with cheap chinese cells, it's really a 1200 mah battery labeled 1600.
I do plug the phone in while in the car, but it would be nice to have a spare battery charging while on the go as well, sort of a charge it and forget it type of thing in case it's needed while out.

I'd say the same but the replacement procedure for getting the phone open is such a hassle, I'd prefer an extended length battery, lol

This auction is back down to $4.89. A lot of the time, when a retailer is out of stock of something, they'll jack up the price of the auction, rather than having to pull/repost the auction. This way they don't have to pay the fee to have it removed/readded, but no one in their *right* mind would buy one. I've seen this a lot with Inspire accessories...no one can keep anything in stock.
I ordered this one from Amazon and it is from HTC.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CWWWJ4
And if it is garbage I can use Amazon's A to Z return policy, so I am covered. I would rather try Amazon before I would use E-bay, with Amazon there is always a way to get your money back with e-bay there is not.

That's not FROM HTC that's FOR HTC and fully after market. Boo.
Recieved this dirt cheap (so called High Capacity1800mAh) chinese battery today, if anyone is interested I post my results and findings, after using it for a couple of days. Got it from www.obostore.com

after using and comparing to stock battery my conclusion is I get the same hours from this battery (which I expected) still it's a cheap replacement if you need one I posted a review on the website of www.obostore.com and they refuse to publish it, that says enough I think, right ? chinese fake

Thats what I thought too, as it's the same size. still wanted to give it a testdrive, It's only the price of a Mc Donalds happymeal and free shipping so I ordered one for fun. Will post my findings after is properly calibrated.
Its not too great.....its not too bad. for what you paid....you get a battery than the stock on. Have been using it for a month now.
I'd love to hear your experience with it. Let us know! If it's any good, I'll be buying it...

I think the real capacity will be about 1100Mah zo 130 less then the original battery, as i'm in China right now I went one day on path to find me a spare battery for mine DHD and many just asked to high prices and I hadnt any faith that those higher Mah's would be really true.
So after looking at so many small shops in Guangzhou I came at this shop where the girl first needed look, being suprised that they where not selling battery's with false Mah's on, in fact it was a 1100Mah and I bought it just for 30rmb, all other sellers asked me about 40 a 50, one even dared ask more then 80.
The brand is Speedy, its a brand from Hongkong speedycom.hk/
It's to bad such brands wouldnt survive on eBay because most people will just go for the higher number even though the higher number is just a lie.
im interesting too
Money aside, is there any proven/better batteries for the desire hd?

No the original htc battery is IMO the best battery on the market.
Guys, honestly I can't understand why you all want to try something that has been tried and proved several times to be fake.
Those guys make money on their lies and you help them expand and design their next lie which we will have to buy again before we realise the truth.
My opinion is that all people who bought similar batteries should return them and request refund because what they bought was not what was described. You bought a 1800/1500 or whatever mAh battery which was really 1240. If eBay or Paypal is involved, you can claim your money very easily.
buying batteries from these mass production factories from china is playing with your life dude....either they will short circuit your mobile board, else it will just blow up under slight increase of temperature.... please be caution and use only when your main original battery dies off and use this as backup and not for long hours usage....
also need a better battery

Funny enough, the only reported cases where batteries exploded was for major brand names...
Ah, good thing I have 2 oems then...but truth be told, I never have to use the second one...but I do like have the backup

Is there anyway to check the actual power of the battery? I bought a 1600mah off ebay and it does seem to last a couple of hours longer than the original, but that might be cos i started using a custom rom after i bought it lol

This is reason why we better should use External battery packs...
Of course best of them cost much... but still your DHD maybe will live longer.
Thanks for info about Andida 1800MhA almost bought it. I will wait some time maybe there will be better one in future....
When I had a HTC Hero I had one such 1800mha peace of junk it lasted couple of hours and one day just stopped working I will never make the same mistake again.
These "batteries" are cheep for a reason.....

Ordered one Anker battery...
Thanks for the heads up! I ordered mine tonight, probably get it next week.
The seller has a 99% Positive Lifetime feedback and they have a 30 day Full refund return policy for defective items. Plus they reimburse your return shipping costs.
The only thing I didn't like was the high shipping costs... $3.00 per item plus $3.99. And the fact I got charged sales tax since I live in California. I checked the sellers web site and they are based in San Jose, California. My order total was $17.81.
As far as the Anker battery, I'll be putting it to the full test when I get it.
just ordered mines also.
hmm.. I register just to tell you guys this is better deal, only 10 bucks on ebay and free shipping. So much for my lurking on XDA... lol.

The same seller, I think is also selling 2x for 18.99?. =)
Not all that fond of eBay but...
The Anker battery is cheaper...looks to the same company too...oh well, looks like I overpaid by $8. If the Anker works out I'll order my next battery from eBay.

In the other thread (confusing having two of them about the same battery ), someone who received his Anker confirmed that it's a little bit thicker than stock, but fits just fine in the slot and back cover.
I believe the situation is similar with the Chichitech battery.
Anker Battery
I purchased two Anker batteries for my Sensation about 3 wks ago and have used both of them extensively. I immediately noticed significant improvement in battery life first day which is what I'd hoped given the increased capacity of 1900mAh. It seems that I'm getting roughly 1/3 more battery life which is slightly more than the difference in mAh which could also be a factor of better battery quality. I can get through the entire day with little difficulty. A big improvement over the stock HTC battery.
Good looks! I just bought one. I can get about 9-11 hours of constant and heavy use. Hopefully this battery bumps it up to 13-16.

Seems BS. Look how they advertise it: "Bluegeta li-ion battery is ultra-slim and ultra-light than any other batteries by using high
molecular substances and also provides."
"high molecular substances"? First, "molecular substance" is nonsensical; and let's say that even made sense, how the hell does a molecular substance become "high"? Doesn't make sense at all.
Just get an anker from amazon....

seems like bs. I've noticed that ever since Anker came out with nice packaging+Brand name and all... these fake HK sellers are doing the same thing. Remember! Just because it says 2300.. It's FAR from true. I was a newbie ebayer at one point. I bought all that, tested and learned the hard way. It's most likely a fake

Hello,
I have some problems with the stock 1520mAh battery of the HTC Sensation.
Since I have an internet flatrate & mobile internet is always on, my battery drain is very high and empty very quickly.
Now I'm thinking to buy a better battery, where I see a difference between the stock battery.
I found this one on ebay with 2300mAh: >Klick<
What do you think? Has anyone experiences with this battery?
Thanks, ~Maik.
Anker is a great battery. Its a long lasting battery. Get it off Amazon not ebay as they have many fakes going around. Its made a great difference in my time!
