hey guys, im intending to get the 1600mah mugen power battery. Is it advisable? how much better does it fares against the samsung 1500mah batt? will it last additional 1 more hour on display?

These 3rd party batteries dont really offer what they say probably its even worse than the stock 1500mAh

alright. if anyone have tested this batt pls feedback

so did you end up buying the mugen 1600mAH battery ? If yes, how did it go ?

Mugen batteries are very good. I used to own one for a samsung PDA i had a while back and was far superior to other 3rd party batteries i tried.
I can't imagine you getting much out of an extra 100mah though? For example if you get 8 hours use from the device you would expect a return of around 8.5 hours with the extra 100mah. Of course this is an approximation but it gives you an idea. Just take the time you normally get from the current battery and divide by 15 then times by 16 and you will get a very rough estimate as to how much will be gained.

Thanks for the info. I bought a third party (not Mugen) 1500mAh battery but the battery life is much shorter than the original battery , so i was just wondering if this Mugen 1600mAh one is really slightly better than my original samsung battery

I got this Mugen 1600mAh battery last week. It works great. To me, it lasts much longer than my original 1500mAh battery (about 3-4 hrs more). I highly recommend it.

Can anyone confirm this to be true?

Check out http://batteryboss.org/
You'll be lucky if a higher mAh battery designed to fit in the standard bay, even ones from branded third parties like Andida or Mugen, will be as good as the OEM.
Avoid the ebay non branded, loads of re-badged rubbish not even close to the printed value.

I have found this on their site and sounds good. Any experience with their batteries?

Is that hard to scroll throught the other posts?
There is a post exactly for the 3200 mah !

i brought a original mugen 1600mah before i went over seas, last another 2 or 3 hours more than the original i am happy with it , ask away if u want to know more

What I found on Anker battery..is this the real capacity?

I just received my Anker battery from Laptopmate (ebay) today.
And surprisingly when I look on the cover, it seems there is a print out that is transparent from the back..and it shows number 1700.
Does it mean the real capacity of this Anker battery is only 1700 mAh?
The whole printout reads:
H0545148AR
TIF09NF1700 (I can't read clearly the first 3 letter on this second line)
Can anybody who receive this battery confirm this?
Does yours also show similar printout?
I attached the pictures for you to see.

Very interesting, I was going to ask someone whether they would tear off the labels on their batteries to look for serial numbers.
I've purchased 3rd party batteries in the past that had labeled capacities that were exaggerated versus the data sheet corresponding to the serial number printed underneath the label.
I believe that 545148AR may correspond to the battery listed in this document,

Here is a description of the datasheet from a different datasheet I have from the same company.
Notes:
1.Rated capacities of above batteries are measured according to the following conditions:
under 20+5℃, battery is charged to 4.2V with constant current of 0.2C5mA, and charged continuously with
constant voltage of 4.2V until the charged current is 0.01 C5mA., then discharged to the voltage of 3.00V
with constant current of 0.2 C5mA.
2.Under 20+5℃, 65±5%RH, rated capacities less than 1000mAh, it can be charged to 4.2V with constant
current of 1 C5mA, and then, charged continuously with constant voltage of 4.2V until the charged current is
less than 0.01 C5mA, then battery can be discharged to the voltage of 3.00V with constant current 1 C5mA.
The discharging time is not less than 54 minutes (or capacity is not less then 90% rated capacity); rated
capacities more than 1000mAh, it can be charged to 4.2V with constant current of 0.5 C5mA, and then,
charged continuously with constant voltage of 4.2V until the charged current is less than 0.01 C 5mA, then
battery can be discharged to the voltage of 3.00V with constant current 0.5 C5mA.The discharging time is
not less than 108 minutes (or capacity is not less then 90% rated capacity)
3.Among models of the batteries mentioned above, the battery model labeled R is prismatic battery with
round angle； the one labeled A is the battery whose shell is made of Aluminum；the battery model labeled
S whose shell can is made of steel；the battery model labeled F is a set of explosion-proof；the one labeled
J means the battery is made by automatic line；the suffix of ''H,M,E,L or 1,2,etc" added to the model name
was to sort the capacity of the model which has the same size, and have no meaning else

It would be interesting if someone can measure the dimensions and weight of the battery and compare it to the datasheet values to determine whether its the same battery or not. If the true capacity is actually 1650mAh, I would not be surprised at all based on my experiences with 3rd party batteries.

Guys I think the biggest thing to keep in mind about these Anker batteries, is that it seems to be a fairly unanimous consensus that these "1900" mAh batts are giving people longer cycles.
I spent a few hours today reading ALL the posts about every 3rd party battery for the Sensation, including the Evo 3D batts that work in the S4G. This Anker seems to have to mostly positive reviews by XDA members. Ya its a roll of the dice....but for under $20 to have possibly 4-7 extra hours....that's well worth it. I purchased one today....when it comes, ill give my results.
That faint number you see, that no one else seems to have noticed in the thread on Anker, could very well just be a random number....who knows.
Main thing....it seems to act like a 1900mAh battery

i have ripped my label off will post picture shortly

Hoping to love this $18.99-worth
I just bit the bullet and purchased this from amazon.com. For the price point as long as it gives any increase in battery life -and- doesn't set my phone on fire, this will be a worthy investment. As a newly converted blackberry user, battery life on android os devices just kills me. When I get the battery I'll post an update.
First post on xda FTW!

why did you feel the need to open a new thread about this when we already got more than one about the anker 1900mah battery?

My only concern with that is that its all just anecdotal evidence, no one here has tested the battery under controlled conditions with the appropriate equipment. Can we really reliably tell +100mAh from +400mAh based on peoples undefined estimates like "light usage, heavy usage", not to mention bias. Ultimately though, it probably won't matter to people as long as they think they're getting better battery life, which they probably are, but maybe not as much as they think they are.

this may sound werid..i may get flamed at i apologize... but what are the chances that these batteries will blow up compared to the oem htc sensation ones? is it really made out of high quality?

+1
I am also very skeptical about the 3rd parties and how they "feel", once again I will direct people to this test, Battery Boss where many popular 3rd party brands are tested to have only 70-82% of advertise capacity.
However every oem battery tested is around ~96% of listed capacity.
Sure its only 10 or $20, but I would rather put that money towards a battery with a 'true' rating.

Let us not forget that if you turn your HTC battery over, it says...Made In China.
These Anker batteries probably come from the same manufacturer as HTC branded ones.... well it's very possible at least.
Seems like some people think that because it's Chinese...it's inferior to the oem HTC batts. One and same

$40 versus $10, one and the same? Maybe, but more likely wishful thinking. Remember you're trusting guys who are lying about the mAh ratings.
http://batteryboss.org/

Well, i can tell you this: Stock my BEST day was 14 hours with two hous of "screen on" (use) time. My first day on an Anker was 14 hours with 3 hours "screen on" (use) time.
Today, my second day on the Anker and I am at 64% at 9 hours with just over 1 hour screen on time. I will leave work in an hour with probably at least 58% left. i NEVER left work with more than 38% with my stock.
Is it a true 320more mAh? Dunno. Do I get better battery life? Absolutely. Worth $21 for 2 batterys and a charger? Most most most definitely.

If you even get the same battery life as OEM for $10 I'd say it's worth it. If it's significantly better that's a great deal.

Anybody else that has bought one care to post their comments here? Are they worth it in your opinion?

If nobody else has dencided to take up the challange I will, I am going to charge both batteries to full charge, turn the phone on full brightness, Wifi on, and leave a program running (a graphics test ot somthing) and see how both batteries fair.
the only time I can do this mind is over the weekend, if someone else has the time to do it beforehand then feel free buti feel that this would a much better way of judging battery life other than 'High usage', 'moderate usage' ect...
I do however feel I got more battery life from the Anker than the stock battery, so I feel the numbers are simply just part of the product ID and people are flapping over nothing.

I have confidence in Japan made - will buy it now and see how it goes. Thanks for the link.
Anyone else tried this brand before?

Well I just bought one of the first one's. Kind of skeptical that it is rate almost 50% higher and looks to be the same size as stock. Also hope this fits... oh well. Says 5 - 10 business days so I will report back later.

Ask the seller if he could weigh it for you

Seller said 29g, while chichitec and anker is 34, stock battery is 29 aswell heavier means better batterytime

I thought someone bought these gold ones and said they were crap.

BUt this isn't the gold one although i bet it's made at the same factory, oh the gold battery weigh in at 27 Lol i had a gold battery but got a full refund, so i opened it up, and there was a small battery inside, with a spacer built around it!

Really?! Oh lame...it's shipped.
I guess the only way to find out is to test it and form my own verdict.

can someone explain me technically how the weight of the battery relates to the performance.
apart from getting a case with a smaller battery inside.

generally speaking the weight of the battery relates to the amount of li-ion in the battery (this can only be a generalization due to the casing of the battery and the like) but simply put the higher the weight the larger amount of li-ion in the battery which increases the Amp Hours; Ah
edit: so continuing on a 2300mAh battery should be heavier than a 1500mAh battery as it would have more li-ion in it

so anyone got one this already and tested it out

I have BXT'S extended model BP6X and am using it with my Motorola XT720. The BXT battery weighs in at 24g (it is rated at 2200 mAh) and the OEM BP6X weighs in at 28.7g (which is rated at 1390 mAh) I have used the battery for about a day (with the charge that it had shipped with) and it didn't last very long. I was also running a 1.2ghz overclock at the time so that could have contributed to it too. I believe however that I need to charge it for about 10 hours or so the first charge, just to make sure it has its full capacity. (which I have not done yet) I can give a full overview in a day or so if you guys would like.
This is the one I have:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2200mAh-High-Ba...Accessories&hash=item3a6712c73b#ht_2876wt_952

Seeing as it weighs less and claims its 2300 mah I call this battery a load of crap like the other 2300 mah battery. It prolly has spacers around a smaller battery.

Yes, that is probably true. I have also heard reports of android's battery meter not correctly read the % of battery power on these BXT extended batteries but it may vary from phone to phone so people will have to test it out on their devices. What the report said was that the battery would quickly drop to 25% and then it would take HOURS to drop to 0% but low battery messages would pop up frequently during that time because the phone believed the battery was that low, even though the actual battery % was not that low because it was just incorrectly reading it. I could not tell yet from a few hours of use whether or not I experienced this problem with my BXT BP6X.

Don't buy bxt 2300 mah
I ordered this BXT 2300mAh battery on July 21st 2011.
1st of all it came after 15 long days of waiting.
and when it finally arrived the battery was non functional. DOA
(that might be a one time thing)
But what's really surprising is the weight. As someone mentioned before; if the battery is more powerful it should be heavier. So, a 2300mAh should have more li-ion and should be quite a bit heavier then 1520mAh Stock. right?
(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
well this battery doesn't even weigh as much as the stock.
my conclusion: FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!
I just filed a PayPal claim to get a full refund.
Don't be sucked into buying this battery!

Guys, sorry to resurrect this thread but I've just got one of these with the Sensation I've just bought.
It weighs 34g exactly the same as the Anker I've got. Bot tried the Anker yet so can't compare how they both perform.

1gram battery ≈ 47mAh
I have 5 batteries.
Motorola BK60 930mAh Weight - 20g.
Motorola BC50 750mAh Weight - 16g.
Sony Ericsson BST-33 950mAh Weight - 20g.
Samsung sgh x160 800mAh Weight - 17g.
HTC Desire HD 1230mAh Weight - 26g.
930/20=46,5

Generic 1800mah batteries from Ebay?

Anyone use these or had any experience with them? Are they really 1800mah? I've had mixed results in the past on various devices using generic(mugen included) extended life batteries...
Samsung MM-A700 - Battery worked great for a few months then one day the phone would just bootloop. Put stock battery in and no more problems...
Sanyo SCP-8100 - No problems
Sanyo SCP-8200 - No problems
Sanyo SCP-5300 - Standard generic battery no problems
LG Env - Awesome extended life no problems ever.
LG Env Touch - No problems ever
Audiovox PPC6600 - No problems ever
Audiovox PPC6700 - No problems ever
HTC Evo 4g - No problems
HTC HD2 - Tried multiple brands and generics...all lies, all garbage..including the one that came with the extended back cover with built in kickstand
HTC G2 - No problems
MyTouch 4G - No problems
Any info would be great as I just ordered one of those packages including 3 "1800mah" batteries plus the rapid wall charger.... I figure worse comes to worse they are just all standard life batteries so it's still a bonus over having just one battery. Thanks.

Buyer beware.
Sent from a message in a bottle.

Just bought and used an 1800mAh battery from ebay.
Says on the battery that it's meant for the Sensation and Evo 3D, which is fine. But the battery life is pretty terrible.
My Setup: Brightness full, wifi on 24/7, mobile data off. Profile is set to 192MHz when display is off and 1188MHz Conservative when screen is on. Running on 2G all the time and the screen is on for about an hour before the battery is completely gone. Fancy widget is pulling in weather and location every 15 mins via GPS and wifi. Pulse reader refreshes every hour on wifi.This is HALF the life that my G2 gave on stock battery with same setup. Overall battery lasted for 8-10 hours before complete dead. And my setup isn't even that power intensive.
I don't recommend buying those cheap eBay generic batteries. You get what you pay for. Go with the anker, like everyone else is saying

An Anker battery is like $10, why would you bother with an eBay battery?

I have a spare anker battery that came in my 2 pack i hate having to keep switch between batterys so i decided to only use one but i learned batterys go bad if not used? so i stored it in my fridge lol pm me if anyone wants it.

I bought a two pack of the "1800 mah" ebaytteries and not only do they get worse life than htc stick batt, but imo are running much hotter. Just bought anker, and going through the breaking in period (charging and uncharging fully...) Very cool running, obviously better life already.

Too expensive. I'm not ready to shell out $20+ for a new battery. Best part about the ebay battery is, the 1800mAh battery was only a few dollars, and I told the seller I didn't want it. He let me keep it anyway and refunded my money. The battery life is pretty bad, about 20% less than stock. Lasts about 8-10 hours. But having a spare battery at all is great. Just that little extra boost when days get long. Otherwise I'm getting 10-12 hours of runtime on the stock battery, which is mostly fine for me.
It could be that I got a bad battery as well. Feedback for the battery is mostly positive

It's $10 for each battery plus another $10 for a wall charger. And your phone must have been a fluke, since the average battery life of the OEM battery is upwards of 6 hours.

Expensive is spending good money on crap that doesn't work well and fails in a short amount of time. The Anker is a good value. Value being good quality & functionality at low or reasonable cost. Value costs more than junk.
For me a Mugen might be awesome but the price point is wrong for me. I personally don't see the value in buying one. The Anker is a good value to me. Ebay batteries are of questionable use and suspect build quality they are over priced especially if they could damage my $600+ phone.
You have to decide for yourselves what value is for you. I appreciate a well functioning product at a reasonable price.

You misunderstood me. I was looking for ONE battery at $10.
Bulk multiple buying =/= good deal
What am I going to do with two Anker batteries or the charger? I would only ever use one at a time, so that deal is unnecessary to me.
By the way, I wanted to ask anyone how the battery cover fares after multiple battery swaps. Does it get loose or out of shape over time? I'm afraid that might happen when swapping the battery often...

Given that the OEM batteries are $50 each, I'd like to know how $30 for two batteries AND a wall charger COMBINED is "too expensive."

1500mah "OEM" Battery?

Has anyone purchased one of these so-called OEM batteries?

This one claims to be a Desire Z OEM battery rated at 1500mah. Isn't the OEM battery only 1300mah or was there another one that was released?
Also, has anyone any luck with the 3500mah ebay extended batteries? How are the doors and are they at least 2600mah?

Yeah, I see on T-Mobile's website, the G2 also has 1300mAh. I wouldn't recommend buying a third party battery though, just watch this video about a PSP having a third party battery.

It's a matter of buying a good, name brand battery. 3rd party or OEM doesn't matter if it's a good quality and the listed mAh rating is accurate. You get what you pay for 90% of the time...

eBay is filled with counterfeits, and lots of items marked "OEM" when they aren't OEM. I'd stay away from buying things like batteries and SD memory from eBay, unless you know for fact the seller is offering legit goods.
The pic looks hokey, also. It looks like a stick-on label, instead of the screen printing I've see on HTC OEM batteries. I'd be willing to bet this is a knockoff, misrepresented by seller, etc.

I can vouche for HTCpedia having purchased several extended batteries from there myself
Here's there Desire Z section

I recently purchased the Anker, I believe, 1600mah from amazon. Battery life is better than the OEM.

I would personally stick with the stock 1300mah battery, and UC the cpu to save battery life. Unless your original battery has gone bad and you need to replace it altogether. I'm always weary about 3rd party accessories.

How long is battery life? I thought we could have gotten a battery with a higher capacity from a different HTC phone?

The Incredible S has a 1500mah battery that's the same size. I'm not sure where to get one in Canada though (can anyone enlighten me?).
For that matter, if the Anker is available in Canada I'd be interested in knowing where too.

I have links below that sell Anker Batteries.

Based on the price for the battery listed, this may be a little out of your range, but I picked up this one on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8RWLG
And it really picked up the slack from the 1300mah OEM battery, and still fits under the stock battery cover
HTH

Battery life on my G2, even when overclocked to 1512Mhz on the stock CM kernel, is pretty good. HTC has been really slacking off with battery life lately *coughDOUBLESHOTcough*.

Well, I've received my Anker 1600mah battery.
Since it doesn't claim the world, I'm thinking it might actually be true (unlike the Seidio or Mugen "1900mah" batteries that end up only 1300mah).
Even if it's just 1300mah, the price is right =)

Can you post any "Better battery stats" logs or verify how much capacity it actually has?

Interestingly enough, I have some records from the tests I've been running this weekend. This battery has been surprisingly decent considering I only expected 1300mah (from the advertised 1600mah) out of it.
Code:
ILWT 285
1.5GHz Performance
Airplane Mode
Minimum brightness
MX Player SW Fast
Stretch Mute
Battery discharged to 89% before recharging back to 100% waiting for the trickle recharge to stop before starting video and unplugging. Device running until 15% warning which is dismissed and then run until device auto shuts off.
Anker - Claimed 1600mah
375minutes
~250ma
1562mah
97.6%
HTC OEM 1300mah (1.5 years old)
274minutes
~250ma
1141mah
87.8%
I also ran another test with slightly different settings (which meant it couldn't be compared) where the average drain was 300ma:
319minutes
~300ma
1595mah
99.7%
The test is as consistent as I could make it since I only have my phone to discharge the battery with.
With that said, I have heard some non-OEM batteries lose their capacities faster than the OEM ones. I plan to do this test again at the 1 year mark.

I haven't tried those "OEM" batteries before but I've heard a lot of good reports on the "MUGEN" ones. Supposedly, if you follow the instructions, it'll function as it's suppose to (meaning it'll last long).

I'd recommend anyone looking for a extended battery to get a EVO Design 4G battery! It fits in our device perfectly at 1520 mah A BIG JUMP from our 1300 mah stock oem batteries.
Most if not all 'after market' batteries die out quicker and don't live up to the battery life that there claiming to. . .
Here's a few tests that were run on all batteries (stock and after market) and HTC's stock batteries performed the best giving the mah and battery life that they claimed to
