how can you be sure that is not an imitation?
edit:
price has gone up a quid .

They're 2nd hand but for £4.10 I wasn't bothered about the risk. I don't understand why it has been increased by a quid because they didn't look like they were selling

Hello,
I can't tell, but sounds too cheap man. Make sure you will not cause a leak inside your beloved phone...

Well a refurbished battery is a battery that was dead, but been dissasembled, and the individual cells inside replaced, then recalibrates it.... as far as I've heard.
some refurbished batteries don't hold charge as long, but that's no bother to me as I've only bought it to use when I'm out and my battery goes dead, once I get back home I will charge it and replace it with my original one.

Received the battery today, it works fine, but looks slightly different on one side of the battery, will upload some comparison images later on

I bought a 2430mah battery but the duration is equal to the original.

Ok I have bought one from that link. It was £5.10 now so I guess it will go up £1 every time item ends so I secured one.

I have been using this battery a lot over the past two weeks now and had no problems with it. Temperature staying at a normal rate, charge holding just as long as the battery that came with my phone, no signs of leaking, etc. Very good so far.

I still have that battery now and had no problems with it at all.

So could we see the pictures please (can't see them)?
Otherwise cheap batteries may result in some harmful stories (such as overheated/blown when charged) since the (overcharge and polarity) protection are not too well implemented (if implemented at all) and the cells might be some cheap ones... Afaik.

just search for it on ebay, I saw some interesting ones a couple of weeks ago, they are pretty cheap and small.
Or search for it on the first page of the accessories forum - about 10 entries further down.

I had 2 batteries for my previous phone, I can confirm it was a royal pain in the ass:
keeping the spare one charged (I had a desktop charger that had a space for the spare battery, but it soon stopped working)
having to take the battery out & reboot
Such is the design of the DHD that the less I have to open the plastic compartments, the better
It does also depend on what you want the extended usage for: I wanted to be able to record a GPS track for 5-6 hours at a time (mountain-biking), so stopping to change a battery, wait for reboot & then start the appropriate app took me 10 minutes once
Everyone's needs will be different, but for me at least, the 5000mah power pack is just right for me.
I use a PowerMonkey for mine. I get about 1.5 charges out of it. I miss my exspect recharge4 (left it at am ex's house) that thing was great, you really do get 4 full charges from it. Hard to find them now though. My PowerMonkey cost about £36 from Mailing in the UK.

I've ordered one of these and the cost came to around £15 once converted.
Was ordered from: mugen-power-batteries.com/htc-sensation-usb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html
Free delivery to the UK and some positive reviews on the company, I'll be honest there was little reviews so they could be fake.. but for £15 I will take the risk and await its arrival. May be a while as they expect to get it in on the 22nd July.
If the older docks for HTC phones are any indication I'd guess the price to be around $32
Here is there webstore

I emailed. Will let you know what they say. Phantom skins add no bulk at all to the phone right?

I wouldn't claim no bulk. Its a layer of film about as thick as two screen protectors.

Don't know about the extra battery slot, I never carry 2 batteries but I did email them about having a skin on and here's their response, "Dear Aaron,
Sorry to let you know that HTC Sensation usb cradle will not fit if you put the silicone case on the phone!
Kindly noted!"
Now, the part of their reply that says SILICONE CASE is what throws me off. I asked about a skin and even provided a link for the skinomi skin because that is what I have. I'm hoping they misunderstood and it will fit. Either way, I would rather have this dock than my skin so I'm ordering one.
Anyone get one of these yet? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the one with the extra battery charger.....I just wish it had hdmi out...and maybe audio out too.

Phantom Skinz is very minimal (less than 1mm in thickness), so I am sure you will be fine.

Cheap Ankers Battery 1500/1600mAh

Found these batteries on Amazon. Don't own a Z, but they seem to be compatble in the Desire S aswell.
1500mAh - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0051N1MTY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
1600mAh - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0052QSTYQ/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
Seem cheap and based on the reviews, they seem to work really well!
See the Sensation 1900mAh - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B0053EZJMC/ref=aw_d_cr_electronics
^Check out the reviews there! They seem to be very good for the sensation!
These batteries are dirt cheap, and seem to work well for other devices!
Anyone own one of these?
Can you give your reviews?
Cheers

I purchased the Anker 1600mAh battery from Amazon for my G2 for $9 shipped and it works great. I would say it gives me about 2 or 3 extra hours than the HTC battery that ships with the phone. This is just anecdotal of course, not scientific. I usually take my phone off the charger around 5:40am and plug it back in to charge around 10pm. The stock battery would usually be at or below 15% at this time. With the Anker I'm usually at about 30%. Not a huge difference, but my HTC battery started going bad so I needed to replace it and for the price, you can't beat it.
I did do a review on Amazon after breaking in the battery and using it for a week. I have no idea why it was taken down though.
The OEM battery for the Vision is actually pretty good, which is more than what can be said for the OEM battery for the Doubleshot. Search around Amazon. You can actually find bundle packs of those batteries for cheaper and they come with a battery wall charger.
I'm happy with my purchase and since I intended to get the new Nexus, I didn't want to end up with a stack of batteries I wouldn't use. Plus, based on reviews on other forums, everyone spoke very highly of the Anker batteries. It has been reliable for past few months (I bought it on July or August).

You know that 1500 is only 200 more than the stock 1300. If you're getting drastically less than the stock battery It'd be my assumption that it has aged to such a point that it's no longer holding the same charge as a stock 1300mAh battery.
The amker battery works AMAZING! I can go thrrough a whole day of moderate usage and still have 50%

Anker Batteries + Battery Wall Charger for Skyrocket

Does anybody know or have even used Anker batteries and can give some feedback on them?
Also wondering if the wall charger can charge the OEM Samsung battery that came with my phone.

I bought an Anker for my Captivate, it was probably the best investment I made for that phone.
I use that exact set. The batteries are wonderful, but the charger itself is a little poorly made/easy to break

I have the exact set also, and yes you can use it to charge the OEM batteries. Have done it numerous times. I've had great success with Anker products. I've purchased so many of their products they send me free items.

Actually, when I bought the batteries, I got 2 chargers. The one that a rarely touch at work is still working like a champ, but the one I was using at home broke at the plug.
They're both kind of flimsy, but I probably just got one bad one. Still a great deal

Really? That nexus battery was able to fit in the skyrocket?
I wasn't concerned about getting better battery life than the stock just cause they're 2200mah but more concerned about the quality of the batteries and the wall charger.
