[Q] Will the sensation get an extended battery released? - HTC Sensation

Does anyone know if HTC will release an extended battery with replacement back cover for the sensation? Or perhaps something produced by another company like Mugen or Seindo? I have the US HD2, which works fantastic in the UK on Vodafone by the way, and I have the extended battery for it and in my opinion makes all the difference. I've had a good look online, htc, ebay, etc but no success.

Most probably
If you have a look around at almost any of the older models they have extended batteries available. The Sensation has only just been released in UK and is being rolled out worldwide. Wait until china gets their hands on it (June 8th) I believe and then wait for the HTC "alternatives" to be released

The antenna is in the back case so i doubt it.

Yeah I was thinking the same when I read about the antenna being in the back casing.
We never saw a extended battery on the DHD due to how the back was. The HD2 had a nice one which had a kick stand built in.
I would like to see one for the Sensation but that might well be difficult to manufacture and probably would be expensive too because they are putting components like the antenna in the casing.

Who is this response from?

Jan from Mugen. I can't add the links that were signed at the end of the email because I don't have up to 8 posts..or sth like that is what the error message said...*shrugs*
I sent them an email on Friday, I believe and they replied yesterday.

Just get a Anker or CHICHITEC 1900 MAH battery, my CHICHITEC lasts more than a day.

Further Update:-( I asked about the possible capacity and if there might be a protective case that will work with the phone after extended battery is inserted).
Dear [....],
Thank you for your email!
The larger size should be over 3000mAh, I don't think we will work on the protective case for this model, I need to ask our marketing team!
Because our holster sales not really good, so we only have 3 models for the holster at the moment!
Please contact me if you need any additional info.
Best Regards,
Jan

well I don't have the phone yet. By the time I get it, Mugen should be out!

Did you ever get the battery?

Yeah, did you? I only see the 1800mhA Mugen battery for Sensation. (still 1.15x more capacity)

hey guys just want to let you know mugen has announced a 3600 mah battery due for release around 12 september 2011
if i could post a link i would, but if you want to see for yourself search for sensation on the mugenpower website, you should see both the 1800 and the 3600 now

Thanks for the info. I have to admit it looks great. But for the price of 105 US$ I will wait for some test to read and stick with the Anker 1900 I ordered.

I would have waited, I got a 2300mah generic for around $30 on eBay pretty dece, but really excited for the bigger battery, I know 105 is steep, but previous experience with mugen leads me to believe that it would still be well worth it, but that's my opinion

Yikes, what a MONSTER! That would be so nice to just abuse the bejeezus out of your phone all day without being able to kill it lol. I mean, with a battery of that size you could be a 4g hotspot for someone and game on the device itself all day I bet.

i remember having a HTC diamond in India.... the stock phone came with a 1350mAh battery.... i was surprised too....
The battery has arrived, can anyone recommend a program that can measure amps? I tried batlog but can't read it properly.
I charged it up fully and am running the GPS until it dies as the GPS rarely gets beyond two hours usually.
OK, so the the Diamond ran for about three hours before the 10% warning, so it feels like the battery has more capacity than the OEM. I will post up my impressions after a few days of real world use.
I think that at the price of 8Euro it is good value and would recommend this battery as a replacement.
The battery is actually marked as 1600mA.
It's not 1600mah
I'd be wary of anything bought from hongkong as they like hacking their tech. I got an mp3 player that was hacked to look like 32gig capacity but it was 16gig. Wouldn't surprise me if you had a funky battery. 3 hours is not a lot as I can get that out of my original phone. takes about 3 hours to drive from my house to the southwest and my phone is still kicking.

I would be inclined to agree, I don't think for a second that this battery is 1600mA, but it holds up well enough for the price. I have since checked the charge time and it's similar to the original.
So, 1600mA no, 8 Euro for a battery, yes.

[Q] 1600mah battery?

UK company BMC Digital claims to have a 1600mah battery for the Desire HD... for just 6.50 UKP. That can't be right, surely?
They also have a 1230mAh battery for 16.95 UKP, which seems more believable.
Sorry that I can't post the links yet, as I'm a new user.
The typical capacity of a battery is one thing but what they print on the label is another thing! I think, it's impossible to improve the original battery 1230 mAh about 370 mAh to 1600 mAh and sell it for less than the half price.

Well I just bought one for the hell of it, will let you know it's performance probably this time next week.
I got 2 of them 1600mAh with a bundle from good old ebay. I've been using them and they last at least as long as the original but not convinced they last much longer....
At least they work! so far

I don't think so, the battery have to be relatively the same size as the original battery, especially when the battery cover is used as antenna too.
try here for batteries - including extended one...
here is the link...
go to mugen-power-batteries dot com and then to the htc-desire section...
There is only one in the list.
its 1300mAh for 45$.
Very expensive and not very usefull.
Only 70mAh more -.-
So I used the one that was delivered for a couple of days, and let me tell you it is utter 'DOG-EGG' it doesn't last anywhere near as long as the original, but £6.50 for a spare ain't half bad.

It made a difference for me in the past. I should have this soon to test but I got a few more hours out versus my G2 stock battery. I forget the sizes at the time. I've had the mytouch 4g, nexus s and g2x since so its been awhile. I have issues.
I bought one so I'll be sure to keep you updated after it arrives. Give it a week or so.

yup true....i still have it on my g2 and going strong, just waiting for my sensation to come in and i will pick up one of these. kinda off topic but i really hope there will be a docking station for this phone...i waited for the g2 but it never came and only certain tmo stores had it.
Used this for my g2 as well gave me 2-3 extra hrs, the reason it didnt fit that well is because it was for the evo not the g2 but either way I purchased it too should get it tomorrow or thurs will keep you guys posted
I got one today, was already shipped just waiting for it at the mailbox. Will post more after I get it.

how about this.. since it was confirmed that EVO 3D batteries fit in the Sensation why not the 1930mah EVO 3D Battery for our Sensations.. its more less the same price as the one for Sensation, and same 3.7v as well
not shipping to australia :-(
Anybody willing to order 2 batteries for me and ship them to the Netherlands? I'll pay all the costs and a little extra
I'm in desperate need of more battery power, and only hong-kong ships to the Netherlands, but they don't have good batteries...

I thought I read the evo battery were 3.8V which would in the long run hurt the sensation which supports 3.7V. Is that wrong?
So has anyone noticed a significant increase in battery life by using the chichitec battery? I would like to order, but I would be happy to read some positive comments beforehands.
My fear is that the 1900mAh are pure scam and that it is in fact just about the same as the OEM. Am I wrong?
Ordered it on monday but processing takes 4-5 days, I think everyone who purchased the Chicitec has had experience with the battery before. I had this with my g2 and notice about a 3-4 hr increase in battery life which is enough for me to buy from them again. I'm not sure if they're actually 1900 but if i get 2-3 extra hrs ill be happy.

Mugen Power 1800 mAh battery for sensation

Hi!
A real and good battery is arrived!!!
Look at Mugen!
I think it will better than all stuff that you can find on ebay......
Wondering how long it will last since it's only 300mAh more then the original battery. Think you'll still have to charge overnight.
But can't wait for your results
You can buy a Htc evo 3d standard battery too, it's same size,and 3,7v too.
You must just return the battery and hyde the "htc"....
Just pre order, expeded on 22 july!!!!
But mugen power has a very good reputation!
And i waited this model before to buy a simply chinese product....
The new update ROM will improve the charging time,but i must to wait because mine sensation is not unbranded.....

I was wondering if you think it will be better to put the upcoming seido 1900 designed for the HTC Evo 3D into a HTC Sensation. From the imagery it seems to be the correct voltage and on other XDA posts they do say the Evo 3d battery fits in the Sensation. If anybody has any thoughts or review data about Seido v Mugen can you share them please.
p.s. I can't post the Seido link but it is under HTC Evo 3d accessories

Better quality? And what are you basing this on? I had both the Seidio and the chichitec for my Incredible. I would never, ever pay full price for that Seidio crap. Did it last longer than OEM? Slightly. Chichitec lasted longer and was about a third of the price. JMHO.

[Q] Mugen VS Anker

Hello Guys,
My question is which battery is the best - Anker 1900 mAh (which actually proved to be around 1700 mAh) or Mugen Power 1950 mAh for Sensation/EVO 3D (not sure of the capacity is real). I have tried to find which battery is the best (even read the entire Anker thread) but I was unable to get a definite answer. I could see that Mugen is twice the money of Anker but it is coming from a well known company and also has temperature sensor. However Anker is a lot cheaper and provides good enough juice for its 15 bucks.
My HTC Sensation costs around $500 so I wouldn't mind giving $40 more for the Mugen battery but if the performance is small compared to the Anker battery I would prefer the latest.
So my question is which one is the best and have anyone tested both of them?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
I am in the same predicament, been investigating the topic for a while now and... I guess they're very much alike - you won't find many (if any) people that bought Anker and swapped it for Mugen or vice versa.
The main thing is lack of disappointed people, can't see valid complaints against any of them, therefore my choice will be Anker - just because I a greedy bastard...
I have both and have used both for some time and I can say that the Mugen definately performes better than the Anker. Roughly I'd say that the Anker gives me 10% extra time over the original and the Mugen 25%, yeah it's really that good.
Downside is of course the price, but if you have some money, do buy the Mugen
Thank you atticus182. So it seems that Mugen is significantly better than Anker. Just in case I submitted a ticket with Mugen asking if I could return the battery if it proves to be with less capacity than 1950 mAh. Will let you know when they reply.
DaHorse: If Mugen prove to be real 1950 mAh then the price is justified but I guess I will just have to check it by myself.
Meanwhile if there are other forum members that have tested both batteries?
you can check out this thread to see people's performance in regards to the Mugen battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220518
It seems like its pretty definitive that the Mugen will indeed outperform the Anker. the problem is their store is out of stock until december 9th so you can't even get it for a reasonable price until at least then. Also, don't forget about the review done at batteryboss.org in which the reviewer showed that they might not be as great of a brand name as you thought.
As said, my vote goes to the Mugen.
Darn it, just ordered an Anker... Maybe give it a try and then buy the Mugen half december to compare. Didn't spot the Mugen topic btw.
I vouch for mugen too. Mines (htc evo 3d 1950mah) lasts almost a full day on heavy use. Plus the temp sensors work unlike anker.
I have the Mugen and am very happy with it. I used to get home from work with 40 - 45% battery left on stock. Now with the Mugen I have 60 - 65% left

For me there is no real question...I don't know what is Anker...just saw a lot of spamming everywhere on how cheap and cool it is.
I know that I'm a Mugen fan for their quality, service and social presence. When it comes to performance - I'm using Mugen 3300mAh for a year already on my Nexus S and know at least two people with HTC phones who cannot live without their batteries. I don't mind giving extra 30-40$ for good quality, support, warranty and facebook presence for such a niche brand. Mugen rocks!
I already have the Anker and am pretty happy with it but I'm considering getting the Mugen as well. Can't decide though..

Lol if anything your post sounds more like spam. I know mugen is a good brand obviously, but the anker thread is 120+ pages for a reason. not just spam.
also, why do you care about a brand's "social presence"?
Hello my friends,
sorry for my question here but i wouldn´t like to open a new thread for my question.
Also, who can i buy a original Mugen Accu for my Sensation. My original HTC Accu have enough power for me but i like a little bit more and i think Mugen is the best way or does the anker pass to me better?
Yours sincerely

There is no app for that. You need hardware to check the power of the battery.

what about Chichitec? $20 on amazon
I think Chichitec and Anker are almost the same in performance. I'd go for Anker because of its lower price.
I just shelled out for a Mugen battery. Why did I go for Mugen over Anker? Well, the reason is a bit lame, but I just don't feel right buying that sort of thing from (and only from) eBay, of all places...
both types are made in same factory in china?
