Hi All,
I emailed Mugen to find out when they will bring out battery for the Desire HD.
They replied saying November, the model no. is HLI-DESIREZSL/XL
They did not state capacity though......
Good News!
Did they state costs?

No only model number........
Good news, i might consider the larger battery
Wow XL battery, nice dreams to hope :/
I'm planning to get the DHD myself soon... never heard of "mugen" before... they reliable/stable/good quality???
is this the official site? I'm seeing several mugen power results on google
www .mugen-power-batteries.com/
Bigger battery, yes please.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yes @ last confirmed i will get the dhd for sure!! The legend got a bump from 1300mah to 1800mah i hope we get at least a 1500mah for dhd it would be perfect!
But most people were saying 3rd party high capacity batteries in fact does not do what they claim.
Do you think If they did why did not normal Desire users prefer this battery instead of original ones?

The answer is easy:
It looks like **** and is soo much bigger!
Dont you think so as well?
Bigger battery is like useing a daiper: You dont have to visit the WC as often, but instead you have to carry the **** around....
lol ethania, you are killing me.
Yes lol that's why they don't want that battery, the dhd won't have that problem, I know from my previous phone (htc legend) that the mugen battery did give me a boost of around 30 to 40% that's enough for me frankly, you can use your phone without closing apps or connections you need and get through the day nuff said..
How will this work with the DHD's unibody shell? You can't carve out extra room (assuming that the battery will be of a bigger physical dimension).

yeah,
an increased mah doesnt mean increased size, they can use better battery technology or increase cell density

They say the legend got about an increase of 30-40% battery life.. If this could be achieved for the DHD too that would be really nice

That was the source of my question. I'm not so into the tech of battery technology. Thanks for clearing it up.

if Mugen comes out with a higher capacity battery that fits inside the Desire HD, it would be fr......! great!!.
But have they ever made a battery like that? All the Mugen batteries i have seen ad massive bulk to the phone/ipaQ ect. could be just the ones i have seen i dont know much about it. Could anyone give reference to a higher capacity mugen battery with the same size as an original?

Battery Door: Not Required
Hey everyone ! I recently got an extended battery for my Sensation for around $90 as it was much needed to meet my usage !
I thought I would share the feedback with you guys !
Mugen Power is a 3rd party battery manufacturer, and is known for it's "extended" batteries. If you’re an owner of a high end Android phone you too are probably facing a very poor power backup with the stock batteries and that’s where extended batteries come into play.
Basically, Mugen promises something near double battery life with this extended battery life, let's see how this extended battery fairs.
Unboxing
This battery comes in a very small, compact and simple backing - it has a leaflet with the instructions and standard warnings, a back door and the extended battery itself.
Look and Feel
We already know the HTC Sensation is not a very thin device in itself, and by adding the Mugenextended battery and the battery door, it does get noticibly thick - but for double battery life which it promises, the thickness can be bared - at least for me !
One would think that this battery adds a significant ammount of weight to the phone, but on the contrary it does not add any weight which can be significantly felt.
It's also nice to know that the backdoor cover fits perfectly on to the Sensation, and the feel of the replacement cover is not different from the stock one
However, with the extended battery users with small hands will find it a little difficult to hold on the phone for long durations at a go, rest shall be fine.
Performance
The li-ion extended battery which we were provided was rated at 3600mAh which is more than double of the stock battery on the HTC Sensation which is 1560mAh, so was the battery life also double ? Let's find out.
I have been using the HTC Sensation for almost 2 months now and with moderate usage, casual browsing, push email and constant interactions along with a lot of IM and calls, it did last me around 11 hours or so with moderate usage.
But on days when I had heavy usage, with constant data transfers on wi-fi or 3G along with lot of media playback, games, calls and IM - going beynod 8 hours was a tough task for the Sensation.
Now I did spend a nine days on the Sensation with the Mugen Power extended battery, and yes, it works ! And works pretty well following are the figures :
Heavy Usage : 2 days
Moderate Usage : 3 days
Light usage : 5 days
Now let me describe my usage, my heavy I mean constant connectivity either via 3G or wi-fi, 5 email accounts with push email and mails coming in every hour or so on all 5, constant IM i.e. Google talk and Facebook chat, off and on internet browsing, around 40 pictures shot, around 3 hours of voice call, lots of media playback (songs) and even video streaming.
My moderate usage I mean, data connectivity on 2G and wi-fi, push email, selective IM, and 2-3 hours of voice call, with causal browsing and media playback.
Light usage is more like a few texts, some casual browsing and a few calls in a day, with hardly any data usage - more like constant standby.
Conclusion
The Mugen battery is a very good buy and lives up to it's promise of increased power backup. It is a must have for hardcore users and the people who travel a lot, regardless of their usage patterns.
One would however have to bare the slight increase in the thickness of the phone, but amazing amount of backup one gets is well worth it.
But, if you are a light user, and mostly have the phone on standby with a few calls a day, Mugen Power is not for you.
Also note that the HTC Sensation has been known for the "Death grip" issues - but don\t worry the added thickness or the replacement door on the Mugen extended battery does not affect the signal receiving capabilities of the HTC Sensation.
Overall, the battery lives up to the promise of double battery life and has left me much more mobile fearless about the phone battery finishing suddenly !
Is it worth it though? You can buy 2 Chichitec 1800mAh batteries for $40, or other brands like that through ebay
The replacement battery door doesn't look the same as the original battery door from what I can see. Can you post some pics of your phone for us to see

You can watch this video to see how it looks
www.youtube.com/v/s6moi12ZL-4
The back cover is completely different than the original one... It feels cheap and it's not even on the same planet as the original cover.
Also the "8 MEGA PIXELS" mark under the camera is horrible. It's printed very bad and it feels like on fake chinese phones. The battery is awesome, but the cover sucks completely.
Just delivered. Very disappointed, though I have read negative impressions on this forum before... It decreases wifi strength up from 100% to 30%. When you're near wifi router it works fine (like in the video), but when you're 5 metres away from router it drops to 30%.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I understand, that their battery cover is extremely bad and doesn't allow to use wifi.. May be there are alternative battery covers for such battery?

Mugen has announced sometime ago on their Facebook that for the Sensation battery they have developed a new backcover that solves the signal issue. Contact them, they will replace it, they always do.

Please tell the date of the message.
Anyway I checked the latest messages in the group and didn't find any mentionings. Only hidden advetisement. If they really replace battery cover to a working one, it's good. But right now I DON'T RECOMMEND to buy it if wifi is important for you.
if you get a powerskin and an anker 1900mah battery, you get the same total size battery power, but also have the ability to remove the silicon case and/or turn off the second battery in the powerskin to be used at a later time, and for half the price of the mugen.

I just wish powerskin redesigned it and got rid of the fin at the side...
otherwise I would have been rocking it.
stll, I think it's a better alternative to the mugen...

Mugen is not an alternative any more. No one wants to get Sensation without wifi and weak 3g, but with an extended battery. I am very angry...

a 1900mah battery is a better alternative than 3600mah? Imho, these are two completely different products that have different purposes. Btw, Mugen offers 1950mah battery as a slim battery alternative.

get a Anker or Evo 3D battery on top of the powerskin and you basically around the same amount of power as the Mugen.
plus you have the option of going slim with a higher capacity battery(anker/evo 3d) then stock 1520 mah and a gel case that comes with the powerskin.
on top of all that, it's about half the price... (powerskins around $40, Anker $10-15)
you tell me which one is a better alternative...

Isnt the 1900mah of the powerskin in addition to the stock battery? If this is the case it makes the two comparable in terms of capacity.

I guess, Anker is really targeting people by selling cheap stuff. I have a phone that costs 700$ and you think that paying another 100$ for a quality battery is a problem? Sorry, I don't believe in 10$ batteries because I have used them in the past and I don't support this idea. 10$ price can only be achieved if a company is cutting budget on smth important.
This is a well known fact: who pays cheap always pays twice.
Product placement
Wow, the OP sounds like a product placement or marketing. It is nothing personal but I read so much comments on Mugen...that it sounds like a rip off.
For my taste your posting sounds a bit too perfect. Like loose 20 kg in just 2 weeks.
I got an Anker 1900 mh and it is perfect. 5 to 6 hours with navigation or 24 hours with moderate to heavy usage...on sense 3.5 - stock kernel. What else do you want....I mean you are not awake for 24 hours...every day...are you?
Just my 5 cents.

I'm sure
My experience. Wanna to be objective:
Positive
Battery works from 14 (high usage) to 25 (low usage) hours. It's very good in comparison with 5-7 hours from original battery.
Cover looks pretty good (in comparison with mugen cover for Desire).
Negative
Wifi and 3G/HDSPA problems
Phone started to turn off sometimes.
If new cover solves this problem I will post the information here. Mugen promised me to replace the cover.
P. S. Your Anker refused to deliver me the battery a long time ago. What's more - they don't have a 3600 mah battery like Mugen.

hey, if paying more makes you feel better, more power to you buddy.
I currently use the Evo 3D battery. I can add the powerskin and I'd have about the same amount of power as the Mugen...
and as a bonus I won't have wifi problems(talk about cutting corners eh?), have a silicon case to boot, AND I would still be paying less then the Mugen setup.
I won't loose any sleep over paying less for quality accessories for my phone.
and regarding the Anker battery... just look at the Anker thread. so many success stories... doesn't matter the low cost, long as it works... properly, which it seem to do.
Good review! Thanks!
So I just ordered an OEM battery for about $7, but I'm still interested in a high quality slim battery. Anyone find one brand stands out in particular? I see Anker was popular, is it still the best?
I know anker is well known brand. the only problem with the g2x is that there is no additional room for a larger capacity battery. I haven't found any batterys with higher density, but I would definitely like to see a post that shows which batteries have a longer life span.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I have the Extended Battery, had to change my back case
its think, 3700mah. I have searched for one to fit in the reg case that had more juice no luck.
I am currently using the reg battery and case, because Genesis Rom with harsh kernel has some good batt life. So thank god for that.
If anyone knows of a higher than 1500mah batt that fits our normal case please let me know
Thanks, and i want to say hello to everyone ive been a member for months but i just now decided to make posts.
XDA is like my homepage, i always run here when something isnt right right my G2X. Now my phone is running 100% with harsh's new kernel and Genesis ICS AOSP ROM Stable 1, which is simply amazing. I OC'd to 1408 and its running great, no issues so far.
Took me a long time to get a WIFI hotspot app to work tho, but i found one

I think it's the best one. Look on Amazon: Ecell - GOLD 2680MAH FL
I use the stock battery with ADKP ROM battery life seems great for me
I am also looking for new battery so will try few different batteries to see which one is best
I'm looking for a tablet with a long battery life, price is not a big deal but I don't want to spend to much since I just want to read books from it and do other cool stuff (not really into gaming on it).
A ideal tablet has a mic, storage space for the stuff I will be recording. It needs to have a long battery life. Cheap is nice but not a big deal if it has a long battery life. I bought a cheap one and it seems to die so fast.
Thanks for any feedback!!!

If you are looking into a low end, long-lasting tablet, check out the Pandigital Novel. It is available from here:
http://www.amazon.com/Pandigital-Color-Multimedia-eReader-PRD07T10WWH7/dp/B00449W1WS/
It is available for $92.95! Plus, it has lots of custom roms. Randomblame is cooking up Cyanogenmod for it, and there is also Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich!
Enjoy!
Well I just bought the Xoom off CL for $150, they guy rooted CM10 in it and also has a recover rom on it. So i'm glad i dont have to mess with it. I played around with it on and off and got 11h and 30m on the battery and 54% left, i'm super happy with it! The guy said he got a Nexus 7 and a Nexus 10 and no longer needed the xoom so sold it to me for what I think is a good deal.
Wish I knew how to take a screen shot this battery life is just to good to be true!
Check the ainol store, they seem to have some decent hardware at good prices. A 10" quad core with jellybean for around $200
I open this thread cause wasn't for our phones before and i think will help each other to get smooth phones and better battery...so post your experience and share your apps that you have tested and really deserve it!!
I'LL BE FIRST :i use JUICE DEFENDER for battery and i suggest it but any other up that i have used wasnt good...
