Has anyone seen this or have an opinion on it?

Yes it has been discussed before, please search... It is in accessories-section.
Okay ta... The bump is probably no harm as there doesn't seem to be much post purchase discussion.
Has anyone purchased one of these? Any general reviews or reports back on battery life, build quality or other features?
Thanks again.

Are you still using that battery? Are you still happy with it? I have had 2 'extended' battery's one a 3000mah (which isn't too bad) and a 3500mah one which is absolutely pants! It lasts no longer than the stock 1500mah one. So i was just wondering if it is as good as he says it is, i am going to ask him if he will export to the UK. Ta.
I'm having one of those batteries posted by kevinjmoore, and it lasts me 2 days and 8 hours with moderate use, and still 15% juice left. Batteries are made in China by Yoobao

Coincidentally, he's the ebay seller. Only more independent reviews will prove the validity of his claims. :/

I just ordered this from ebay (new user, no url allowed - cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150506673268), seems similar. Hope the extra 20% will be noticeable...
Keep us updated mate!

Yep, very interested in some feedback on battery life with these.
I have a hard time believing it's a quality product when it's $9.99 shipped from China. Oh well, I'll probably buy one anyways, I just hate the shipping times though....
I had an Andida battery on my first Android phone, a G1, and it was super ok. It was a little better than the G1 stock battery, so that I bought one for my SGS also. When it will come, I'll post some impressions.
Had an Andida battery on my HD2 before... In the end it was just about the same as a stock battery (even though it was labeled with a higher capacity).
For the price a reasonable spare battery I guess but I don't think you'll get a better batterylife out of it... Hope I'm wrong though
i was wondering about the 1800 mah batt from the samsung beam , if it could replace the batt in SGS
anyone now ?
can someone who has got this please post a review or update ?
Planning to buy one.....your views will help a lot

Just got mine today. Was surprised by how fancy the packaging was. Also,the battery itself looks and feels high quality too. Will report later about battery usage.
Yeah cant wate for the battery impression....
I want to get one too

I guess I still need to tweak my usage settings. With Full brightness, email-syncing two accounts, watching flash videos online (using lag-fix ext4 on froyo), my battery did drop kinda fast. Think I will drop brightness and get rid of email sync.
How fast is kinda fast? do you get a full day of usage?
For this kind of stuff there should be a battery tester app.. Maybe one which drains the battery as fast as possible (with a timer). Or better, one which kan read the battery statistics (voltage and so on).
(Edit) Maybe this?: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-dustmmo-batterystation-jjqBw.aspx
hi guys nice findings here. By searching ebay i found a lot of intersting things too:

I'm curious about the last one too.. 1930 stock size is quite sweet, 2 year warrenty as well
ordering the battery is not an issue....but if its going to take a freaking month to reach then its not worth the trouble......and express shipping is too expensive.....

it didn't take long for me. But I'm in the US.
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
Regards
* results *
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

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.....
So this (http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html) seems to be one of the best batteries aroung as well as the Mugen 1800mah. My question is, while Mugen should fit perfectly, I couldn't understand, after reading most of batteries thread till page 6, if the Chichitec need the label to be pulled out, someting to be cut, or fits perfectly.
Then, if something is needed, would there be any risk.
And the last thing, which one would be better in terms of runtime?
thanks
In the future, just drop your questions in the battery threads.
Using these batteries that are not meant for the G2 is fairly straightforward. The only truly necessary thing is to take the wrapper off of the battery, and then use a portion of it to cover up the part of the battery that would be touching the SD card slot in the phone; that's the only risk, the phone may short out if the two metals touch each other.
I believe both of them offer similar battery life; both stay true to their capacities, and are quality batteries. I bought the Anker 2-battery set and am very happy with it.
Going from stock to evo 4g battery then to a mugen 3600 mah, i would never go back. I dont give a crap about the bulk when I can play n64oid for an hour or two a day without any scare ill run out of battery. Without emulators I hit about 65-70% when I lay down at night. With stock I would hit 20% or so at night.

How do the Anker 2battery from amazon compare to the stock battery? Does it last much longer?
Since this thread was already bumped...
Can someone gimme a link to, or tell me where to find this huge "Battery Thread" that I see people keep referring to? I've searched and looked all over, and I find all kinds of battery related threads, but don't think I've come across the "epic" battery thread. It should probably be a sticky... then again, since I'm a noob, for all I know it probably is.
I don't understand why people would still buy the chichi battery when you need to modify, clip tape, etc. if you can just buy the Mugen which fits perfectly. I think people originally bought the chichi battery because there wasn't an extended one yet for the G2, but now you've got lots of options.
Plus, the one and only time I ever bought anything from chichi tec I had to return it and they wouldn't answer any emails and don't have a phone to call, I had to file a claim in PayPal before I could get a refund for my "guaranteed return".
i've had an awesome experiance with chichitec i plan on buying another perhaps mugen though more expensive, and really, seriously, the modifications are a joke, took me 15 seconds to do....anyone who complains about that should get over it. You are on a forum where we modify, hack, and otherwise tweak and customize our phones way beyond what the manufacturer intended so taking the label off a battery is just too easy a mod to complain about lol. Anyways never used a mugen but i get 25 hours plus moderate use with my chichitec so zero complaints here, especially when they are dirt cheap.
Check this one: GOLD BATTERY
...Im not sure but I think somebody else has posted this link in another thread.
I will go for this one myself, as I do hate my HTC DZ not lasting more than a day, but I would dread making it twice as thick! ...this battery (despite the alleged huge capacity 2430 mAh!! ) manages to maintain the original/OEM battery size...

ordered it @ weekend (And early in monday i got mail that said my order got dispatched), its been one full week now. Haven't seen it yet, hoped it would come last Friday, but no. if i don't see it this week, going to start asking some questions and getting my money back.
Also found that local store sells some kind 1500MAh batteries for DZ, might just grab one of those. Looks like it's X-power.

...mmmh... OK, I'll wait and see what happens too. By the way, be ware of the 1500mAh - I got one myself a while back, and upon realizing it wasnt making any difference, I got it checked, and it turned up to be a standard 1300 despite what the sticker said!

remember to wipe battery stats, and do few full charge/discharge cycles, and after a week we'll see if its actually any good
In Android General is a thread talking about battery life... I recommend reading it.
I started a new thread to ask averyone if you, owners of a Desire S, have bougth a better battery on ebay or amazon or a site like that, and if it worth the price.
In example, I found a battery on Ebay that has (the seller says it has) 2430MAh, search for it because I cannot link pages yet.
Can anyone suggest me/us?
2430=fake
you have 2 options that are known as good ones
1) anker-
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anker-1600m...6?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aae657046#shId
2) mugen power, more reliable, i think that quality is better, 1800, but costs much more (search for coupons, 10-15% off can be found all the time)
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-extended-battery-for-htc-desire-s-s510e.html
I'll aggree with what Tik_Tak suggested and while being a person that, when it comes to my cell phone, always does a good research I'd say that Anker batteries are an awesome value for money.
On the other hand the Mugen batteries are known, from what I've found in several forums, to be better in quality and they have a larger capacity.
Personally I ordered a Mugen last week and by the end of the next week I'll have it in my hands.
Ok guys, thnxs for the quick replies. I also thought that 2430 should be fake, but then I saw 90+ sells, thats why I post that.
This can also to be an advice for other owners.
I will ask another thing, if anyone know the answer: why haven't the industry improved the batteries of our phones? I mean, why not create batteries of 2000+MAh? that will only be translated in the size of our phones, just some milimeters more, isn't it?
PS: thanks @Tik_Tak for the links, really helped me.
Check out the Desire S accessories forum.
