1500 mAh battery DealExtreme $8.70

About a month ago I was browsing DealExtreme for some stuff and I ran into this for only $8.70: 3.7V 1500mAh Battery with Battery Charger + EU Plug Power Adapter Set for HTC desire Z
I ordered the 1500 mAh battery and nearly three weeks later it arrived in a yellow envelope. It works great and it comes with a wall charger for the extra battery (WITH some colourful LEDs (pink for charging and blue just for fun)). As I was just about to write this notification I browsed DX again and also found this one:
Replacement 3.7V 1500mAh Cellphone Battery with Charger for HTC Desire Z/Vision/BB96100. You might notice the lack of European power plug support, but it also is $0.70 less
You might also notice the USB port. I just tested it and it seems to be working (the red notification LED is on, but the battery icon doesn't change, might be due to the fact that the battery is already full).
I tested it and it works, so now it's up to you guys to order one if you are in need of an extra (cheap) battery!
Edit: On the wall charger is the following written on a label: For T7373 Touch Pro2 (HTC Touch Pro2/T7373/T7388/T8388)
So the battery of the HTC Vision might be the same as the Touch Pro 2?
Anyway, just thought I should share.

Battery life is good, I guess like 10% better or so.

Curious about this as well as the fit. Any bulge on the door with this one? Did you have to do any mods to get it to fit like people have with the Red Chi Chi's (removing the wrapper, filing down edges)?

No bulge, perfect fit, no mods.

There are a number of other HTC batteries that would work (or could work). Good find.
Note: I've had the same charger for my HD2 batteries. Be extremely careful when you whip out the prongs. I had a set snap on me, rendering the charger useless.

The prongs on my wall charger do feel sturdy, but I can assume not all the Chinese stuff has the same quality.

I noticed the Temperature display that SetCPU has built in doesn't seem to show the proper temperature with the DX batteries. Caps out at 25 and it is definitely hotter than that.

Is the extra heat a major problem?

I got a freebie 1600mAh battery from an EVO4G and I peeled the tape off so it would fit. I noticed on the metal cover it said 1200mAh.
F'in liars.

I didn't notice it, but SetCPU says the temp is 25.4 degrees. The battery doesn't get warm, it felt quite cold (dunno, about 20 degrees or so).

I hava a touch pro with a 1800mAh and the original 1500mAh battery, so after reading the post I pulled it out of the drawer. Unfortunately it doesn't fit without modifications. The size and location of the pins is the same, but there are 2 plastic slots on either side at the base of the battery that prevents it from being used.

Would it work the other way round then? Aka putting the Desire Z battery in the Touch Pro 2?

The other way around it doesn't fit either. Just tried and made come pictures to show you why.

Thanks for uploading the pictures. There is only a teeny tiny piece of plastic in the way... I understand that you don't want to cut if off though. Too bad it doesn't fit.

to those that have purchased this battery, how many hours are total are you getting this with moderate use?

Thought you guys might be interested...DX now has a 3000mAh battery with plastic back cover for $13.90.

Powerskin for dhd

engadget PowerSkin battery case pumps juice to HTC Inspire 4G, Desire HD http://engt.co/lvDmVr
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Saw this on engadget too and was seriously contemplating getting it. Tho I wonder how much bigger this will make the DHD feel

I was just going to post on it! You beat me. Seems like a win-win. I'm already using a Mugen 1500, so if I add this (which is 1500) for a combined battery life of 3000, I should never have to worry about battery life again. Here is the direct link if anyone wants to check it out. http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1508des/htc-desire-inspire.html

Just saw the post on engadget as well, looks promising, hopefully it doesn't make the phone to thick, but would be a excellent thing for travelling if nothing else!

They just replied to my comment on their facebook page that there will be international shipping soon!

I thought about getting one, then changed my mind as soon as I looked at the pictures.

Wished they shipped to Canada. For $60 I'd give it a try!

I have a question look at the specifications Powerskin it is 5V, the problem is this is compatible with our European phone with a 3.7 V battery?

person to answer my question? thank you

It's universal, USB power is ~5V. All batteries in all DHDs say 3.7v remember that all this extra battery is doing is providing power via USB, therefore it needs to be ~5V.
Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.

Doesn't seem any thicker than with a Case Mate Pop case. I have one so I'm sure I can live with this.
Sent via 1s and 0s through time and space using my Defy.

It needs to be 5V to appear as a charger to the Desire HD. But I see several issues with this:
-The Desire HD will be in constant charge mode until the external battery discharges. Only then the internal battery will start to be used.
It's not good to use a device while charging, this reduces the battery life, so this case will reduce the internal battery life.
-Being 5V means that the case internal 3.7V must be pumped to 5V and then reduces again to 4.2 to charge the battery. Pumps and regulators usually have a 80% efficiency, so 1500 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 960. Expect a battery improvement equivalent to 960 mA, not to 1500mA.
Still it's a great accesory for some situations where you spect to have a great consumption, like hicking with GPS, 3G use while moving, etc. And when the external battery is discharged you can remove the case and have the device full charged with its original size.

You can also turn the case off so it won't charge your phone. Then it doesn't charge the phone constantly and the internal battery life won't reduce that much.

Thanks for that picture It does look a bit thicker, but if nothing else its nice to have with you for weekend trips etc when you know you cant charge.
Does it work like a charger in the way that you can turn it off untill your internal battery is almost depleted, then switch it on and charge up the internal one (if you leave the phone idle?) or does it not really charge the internal one, just keep the phone alive on the extra battery?

Anyone tried this yet or has ordered one already? I'm really interested in this, but since I'm only 16-years, I don't have the money to try something out with a chance of not being worth it .

This too thick for my tastes, i like my dhd thin.

It's a fascinating idea, but - converting inches to cm - that is about 0.8cm more, for a phone that is just about 1cm deep. In fact, the manufacturers do mention 0.8cm as a generic add-on. That's a lot of bulk...
For all-day GPS-intensive stuff I take along a 5000mah power pack that does the job nicely, which you just unplug if you need to make calls etc. Back in the bag, and connect it back up
Though I'm sure this powerskin will meet the needs of some people out there.

HTC EVO 3D Battery Experience

Hey all,
Went to local third party sprint store asked if they sold any batteries, was told no. Waited until I ran into the manager who I'm cool with and asked again, he said "not really, we only carry batteries for the EVO 3d" I said sweet thats the one I want may I buy one? I figured maybe they weren't for sale sale but for tech purposes I don't know I don't really care he said he'd sell me one, and I made sure to pay in cash just in case he was tryin to get his hustle on which is fine with me, I paid $25 flat which seems pretty in line with what the genuine HTC battery costs shipped etc..
ROM: Android Revolution HD
Am sitting on 2% battery left right now, and android says it's been 18hrs 0ms 37 sec on battery: bear in mind where I travel I deal with a lot of edge to hspa transfers and it says "time without a signal" 37%. Also my phone is clocked at 1.5ghz.
Voice calls: 1hr 10min 26 sec
Display time on (texts, web surfing): 2h 16m 14 sec
Wifi use: 34 mins
Accounts:
facebook (every hour)
gmail
work exchange (push) (at least 10 emails with attachments a day, I set to download attach automatically)
school exchange (push)
weather (every hour)
I freely used the crap out of my phone today took off the charger at around 8am this morning, its 2:06am at night, its still alive.
Usually when I come in the door at like 9pm I'm scurrying to find a charger, but this bad boy outperforms the original battery BIG TIME, and I hope my scenario above (in terms of real numbers and stuff) helps those who are wondering about this battery.
PROS:
MUCH MUCH more battery life
CONS:
Instantly noticed the extra bit of weight to the phone (I enjoy it though, makes it feel more solid)
Takes longer to charge.
Any questions let me know, talk to your third party sprint stores (they are the only ones that do repairs and would probably have this battery on hand) and pay in CASH lol.

Do you notice if the phone runs warmer with this battery over stock?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk

In regards to the battery size:
Soon as I popped it in, there was no issue whatsoever snapping the back cover on, fits like a glove, no bulge or anything, device feels slightly more heavier however. You use the original battery door, does not come with a larger one.
In regards to the battery being warmer:
I've only seen it go to 96f watching netflix movie, right now sitting on my desk it says 80f, last night when it got a little colder, I can only assume that its VERY close to the unibody and with the metal cooled it was at 66f.
The reason why I chose to have the 1730mAh over the anker 1900 is because of the information that I've come across from this gentleman d0ugie and his website batteryboss.
You can clearly see as an example a genuine htc nexus one battery of 1400mAh tested in at 1357mAh actual capacity VERSUS a seidio nexus one 1600mAh battery testing in at 1305mAh actual capacity.
Through his testing you can CLEARLY see that genuine HTC batteries in terms of their actual ratings against their claims are nearly 90% accurate.
Why would you go buy a 1900mAh battery with crappy cells/manufacturing that ACTUALLY rates in at like 1730mAh or possibly LESS, who knows I don't have the equipment. But I don't buy off brand batteries anymore because of the information on that site.
Hope it helps you guys make the better choice. Cheers

very good, thx, i think i will buy the HTC EVO 3D Battery.

I am using Evo 3D battery now (order from Ebay), really better battery life... As for the temperature, same usage with Stock Sensation battery, i cannot notice any difference as it doesnt get too hot on my phone.

im running the same as you ARHD and evo3d battery. weight gain definitely. unfortunately for me the results differ from my experience. i dont see a notice in change. maybe because ive been on my phone for the majority of the time messing with my settings. who knows. ill report back if my battery stats begin to change.
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------
I'm going to buy the 1900 anker battery soon. Hopefully i will see an improvement.

also bought an original HTC Evo 3D battery. Notice a slight improvement in duration, but wonder if it was worth the 25 euro's. Advantage is that I now have two batteries and can exchange them if juice runs out.

1800mah Anker

I've been looking at anker , HTC evo 3d and HTC Amaze batteries since they are all backwards compatible with the HTC Sensation.
These are my choices so far...
Anker 1900mah $15.00+
Anker 1800mah $11.00
HTC evo 3d "oem" 1730mah $7.00
From what I've seen on the forums.. Ankers are rated at 1700mah and the HTC evo 3d battery out performs Ankers.
There's just a lot of speculation and Hype about the Ankers.
If anyone can give me their opinion on which battery is better for the price I would appreciate it.

Anker
I've seen an huge increase with the Anker and I beat my phone throughout the day.
Get the Anker 1900mAh, top it off with an ICS rom and you'll be perfectly fine.

You can get an Evo3D battery for $7?? When I checked a while back they were going for $29.99. I guess times have changed with newer phones being out.
I'm a big fan of the Anker 1900. I know third party batteries are hit and miss, but the ones I got for my wife and myself have been great. It used to be a struggle for my phone to last all day on a charge. Now not so much if I keep my syncing reasonable.
My only gripe with the Anker is that I'm sure it's not measuring temperature correctly. There's no way I can overclock to 1.5GHz, run psx emulator for 30 mins and have it still sitting on 25 degrees celcius. It does actually run cooler than stock, but still.
Mine measured at almost the advertised 1900. Don't know how accurate battery monitor widget is, but hey not bad.

Well ankers used to be $10 but at the time I didn't believe about the 1900mah hype and due to the high reviews and popularity of the product now the price has went up to $16.00+.
I just feel like people are purchasing the anker and it's way over priced compared to other batteries in the market.
Interesting Picture with 1882mAh measured.. I'm wondering what other users measure with their batteries.

The Anker lacks a temperature sensor that is why it shows as 25C all the time. I read that 25C is the default temperature reading.

@messawood
Mine is measured for this cycle @1901mAh.
From my experience It's between 1850mAh and 1950mAh.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE35 using XDA App

Regardless of the temperature indication contact it seems like there is more than 1800mah on the anker battery.
So far the best price for an anker is buying 2 for $21.00
If anyone can post their stats or opinion on a oem HTC Evo/Amaze. It would help others.

I have purchased a brand new Evo 3D battery and will be testing it on Saturday.

Cant wait to see what it reports on battery monitor widget.

HTC Amaze battery fits in the Sensation as well. I have one in mine at the moment.
HTC is true to capacity. I'm sure Anker is lower than reported. It's not a true 1800-1900. The HTC will be pretty true. Might be off by a little, not as significantly as the Ankers. I would't be suprised if the Ankers were less than 1730.

I believe I've read somewhere before that you can't rely on those apps 100%. It's like false memory and that the app reads the battery at xxxx mAh.
Kind of like when usb flash drives were new to the market. The fake ones read 4GB, but in reality they were 128kb.

That's the reason why I was wondering what it reads on a amaze/evo battery.
Cause on the app it reads 1520mah for a stock battery which is true.

i am using anker and i don't think it is legit 1800.
it is more or less the same as stock....
it was waste of money

:/ well that was my first expectation of the anker. I didn't give into the 1900mah and then the price went up after people reported good reviews.. but there's "evidence" from the battery monitor widget.. which makes me wonder...
With the prices of the "oem" battery dropping down to 5.99 I went with the oem battery for now even if there's a mere 100mah difference.
Now I'm just waiting for powerskins to drop down to $15-20 dollars
Also if anyone wants to do the Chroming of their sensation the oem backcover/housing is only $13.99 which is cheaper than buying the white housing and looks better imo.

New battery, which one?

First off all, sorry for opening another topic about a battery but I've read a lot and still don't know which one I've to buy. Currently I'm using the stock battery in my Sensation XE (1730mah). But I've to charge it too many so I want a better one but don't want a custom cover so my phone is thicker.
I've searched on eBay and found a 2680mah battery! But Japan stuff.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251164807167 which I'm not really trusting. So I've send a message to the seller:
- Does it really fit in the default case?
- Is the battery certified or something? CE, RoHs? Legal in Europe?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And the response:
Dear customer, our batteries have passed all the safety tests,
are CE compliant, making them safe for phones, are equal in size and shape to the original batteries, changing only the mah and weight, our customers notice a duration of more than 30% more than the original battery.
thanks

What do you guys think? I've read another topic about a 2400mah Japan battery which was actually 900mah.
Next I've read about this one: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/330683288786 and I've read some stuff about an exploded battery.. something I don't want!!
Please give me some advice from your experience.

Probably fake. Looks like the other one you mentioned (2400mah) with another label.
I'd suggest you to go with anker 1900mah.

Thanks for your reply! But there's a topic about an exploded Anker battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514929
Can someone recommend me another good battery or can convince me that the Anker battery is the best choise?

Anker is the best, I use it, and so does at least half the Sensation forum.
It performs about the same as the stock XE battery.
Batteries such as the one you linked are much, much more likely to explode. Anker is a quality company which does lots of R&D.

Thanks! Just bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320820724921

Good choice. You won't regret.
This anker battery exploded is totally fake. Some users described how fake is this thread.

These scammers know their market, I'll give them that. People who believe that exploding Anker tripe are also likely to believe the fantasy of a 2400+ mAh stock-size battery.

First off all, sorry for opening another topic about a battery but I've read a lot and still don't know which one I've to buy. Currently I'm using the stock battery in my Sensation XE (1730mah). But I've to charge it too many so I want a better one but don't want a custom cover so my phone is thicker.
I've searched on eBay and found a 2680mah battery! But Japan stuff.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251164807167 which I'm not really trusting. So I've send a message to the seller:
And the response:
What do you guys think? I've read another topic about a 2400mah Japan battery which was actually 900mah.
Next I've read about this one: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/330683288786 and I've read some stuff about an exploded battery.. something I don't want!!
Please give me some advice from your experience.

Hey dude.
I've got 3 batteries:
1: HTC Stock/standard battery.
2: Anker 1900mah
3: The exact same gold one as in the Ebay link.
I find the HTC battery and the Anker battery to be complete garbage.
But, was completely surprised when I bought the gold battery claiming to be 2430 mah (that's what mine says on it) and whilst it may not be genuinely 2430 mah, I have to say...it's MUCH better than the Anker & HTC batteries.
I'm getting 12 hours MORE on my Sensation with the gold battery in, compared to the other 2.....LOVE it!:good:

What was your screen on time?

For me, my gold 2430mah battery is a lot and I mean a LOT better than my Anker and my HTC battery.
over 24 hours of average use, using loads of gps, game, brightness on full etc and still have loads of battery left.
upload pictures online

Could you please post your battery stat like my second photo? I think tapping history will show it.
This is my anker stats. Light usage, but downloaded and installed new build still in this cycle.

I don't see a lot of people using mugen. Any reason in particular? The bulky 3.800mha I understand.. (ugly!)

Over twice the price for marginal (if any) benefit.

just understand it
you cant make a 2450 mah in the same size that the original
it is faked
the anker on the other hand is more optimistic 1950 mah, but it is really strongly(25% better for me)
also, the anker is havier than the original(~3 grams more) - that is what allows it to be stronger
the golden ones will weight the same as the origina, or in the best situation - same as anker
if you want a quality one buy the anker(or the mugen which is also good as the anker but expensive)

Anker or chicitec
