[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
Cheers,

hey do you think it will be possible to make extended batteries (with cover) for dhd? because it has unibody

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.

Hi
Seen the following battery on ebay:
1600mAh Standard Replacement Battery For HTC Desire HD
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1600mAh-Stand...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item20b7cc5ca5
Has anyone bought this, and what do you think of this. I know its very cheap
Please give feedback, thanks

personally I think its a bit risky especially at the price they offering..
i still think the stock batteries from htc are the best

Thats what I thought too, as it's the same size. still wanted to give it a testdrive, It's only the price of a Mc Donalds happymeal and free shipping so I ordered one for fun. Will post my findings after is properly calibrated.

Its not too great.....its not too bad. for what you paid....you get a battery than the stock on. Have been using it for a month now.

I think the real capacity will be about 1100Mah zo 130 less then the original battery, as i'm in China right now I went one day on path to find me a spare battery for mine DHD and many just asked to high prices and I hadnt any faith that those higher Mah's would be really true.
So after looking at so many small shops in Guangzhou I came at this shop where the girl first needed look, being suprised that they where not selling battery's with false Mah's on, in fact it was a 1100Mah and I bought it just for 30rmb, all other sellers asked me about 40 a 50, one even dared ask more then 80.
The brand is Speedy, its a brand from Hongkong speedycom.hk/
It's to bad such brands wouldnt survive on eBay because most people will just go for the higher number even though the higher number is just a lie.

im interesting too

No the original htc battery is IMO the best battery on the market.

Guys, honestly I can't understand why you all want to try something that has been tried and proved several times to be fake.
Those guys make money on their lies and you help them expand and design their next lie which we will have to buy again before we realise the truth.
My opinion is that all people who bought similar batteries should return them and request refund because what they bought was not what was described. You bought a 1800/1500 or whatever mAh battery which was really 1240. If eBay or Paypal is involved, you can claim your money very easily.

buying batteries from these mass production factories from china is playing with your life dude....either they will short circuit your mobile board, else it will just blow up under slight increase of temperature.... please be caution and use only when your main original battery dies off and use this as backup and not for long hours usage....

also need a better battery

Is there anyway to check the actual power of the battery? I bought a 1600mah off ebay and it does seem to last a couple of hours longer than the original, but that might be cos i started using a custom rom after i bought it lol

This is reason why we better should use External battery packs...
Of course best of them cost much... but still your DHD maybe will live longer.
Thanks for info about Andida 1800MhA almost bought it. I will wait some time maybe there will be better one in future....

When I had a HTC Hero I had one such 1800mha peace of junk it lasted couple of hours and one day just stopped working I will never make the same mistake again.
These "batteries" are cheep for a reason.....

Tell me if it's worth the purchase! I'll order one too.

if anyone does get this, please post a thickness comparison with the OEM battery.

Is suggest the anker
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Mine arrived from China today, so took about 14 days to arrive - it was sent recorded delivery ( had to be signed for ). The thinckness of the battery is the same as the original battery in my HTC Sensation. That battery came with 95% capacity pre charged. Just topping it up at moment and will then test its use in comparison to the Original.
I bought mine as a spare battery as I go hillwalking and even though I have a powermonkey backup a spare will come in handy as my mapping software drains the HTC when the GPS is running.

Is that possible? A battery of 2800mah having almost the same thickness as a stock battery.

Oh for sure. Just by wondering, you have created a vortex that combines the Big Mac with the Whopper and a Zinger which Captain Planet fuses into this battery.

Anker is the good choice!

Definitely not, atleast right now anyhow. We haven't found much a way to increase mAh without increasing physical size in a while, lithium cells have hardly improved in that area since their conception. This battery is probably anywhere from 800mAh to 1500mAh.

You got it wrong, high capacity and same form factor is physically possible, just ask Wayne Szalinski!

I got one.
Checked it 2 days back!
Same thickness.
less capacity than the original.
But may be in the range of 1300mAh. cant say exactly. Have to use it and see. will post the results soon!!
---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------
One review says
"Good battery, but the real capacity is 1500mAh. Test it RC-Power 601BS"
can any one tell me how to check correctly?

I bought one of these, without doing any fancy analysis its as good as an Anker.

I would not go for this Chinese things at all... It's a hoax definitely.
I bought a Seidio 1900mAh for Sensation two months ago, and it really ROCKS! I really get a big big difference compared to the stock one. I think Seidio are the best alternative batteries that do not bulk your phone. I also tried PowerSkin, and It also rocked indeed... it's fancy in the winter time when you have big pockets, unfortunately, it died after a week because it was defective

I used it last few days. It is almost as good as stock battery.
I can live with it. No prob. And when compared to the price, no question about the value.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

I have this battery. Without charge sustain 2 days. Of course, no music, navigation and animated background. I think that is slightly better than the original.

People, it's not going to get any more than about 1900ish without physically increasing the size of the battery. I am here to crush your dreams, it's not gonna happen.

Extended Batteries?

Anybody have any luck with extended batteries? If so what is a good brand to get and where from?

Yes, but is it better than stock? I highly doubt it's actually 1800mAh. If it is, then the Chinese have turned into wizards.

I am currently using these. I just started using it, so not sure how different it will be. I will let you know.
The reviews are kind of hit and miss

I seen one on ebay where you remove the battery cover, and it was a case too. with like a 3500ma or so.
But I like my Otterbox to much.

I'm using an Anker 1600mAh from Amazon. It's noticibly better than the stock battery, but it takes a week of overnight charging to get the most out of it.

I bought an Anker Slimtalk external battery for mine. Going pretty good so far. I can top up my battery when it goes too low in the evening.

I bought an Anker 1600 mAh and actually performs slightly better than stock battery.. maybe It's the Rom maybe not... Because with ICS I got 23 hours with stock and 18 with Anker..

I have a Dynapak(I think that's the name) from Amazon and I notice a difference compared to stock. I think I paid $16 when I bought it for two. I believe it says they're 1600 mAh or 1650. I'm happy with it.

If it fits inside the stock battery compartment then it will never be more than 1230 mah.

While there's no way to prove or disprove your statement without bench tests, many people have confirmed that the Anker batteries last longer in an apples to apples test.

Might just be temporary. Even on ebay the seller laptopmate USA (same authorized seller from amazon) raised the price to $67 to keep people from bidding. But they did not remove the auctions. So they will be back.

I also had that problem while on holiday in Serbia. You have a lack in phone accessories unfortunately and disappointing that paypal doesn't work. Your best choice is to ask a relative from another country to buy it. Also, there are other ways of paying online that paypal.

You should get PayPal, it is easy to get an account and you can use it for worldwide purchases, so i would definitely advice PayPal.
And for Batteries for HTC Desire HD I would advice Mugen Power brand 1500mAh battery

Regards payment, you should be able to make a bank transfer to them, they also use Moneybookers (not sure that helps) - you don't have credit cards?

so, there's no better replacement than mugen ?

There are certainly no end of "hi-capacity" batteries being sold on e-bay, but they are all fake. At best they have a similar capacity to the stock battery. If they are selling for $1-3, well that's OK I guess. But then watch out for the charging circuitry, because they will be cutting corners.
I would only buy a HTC branded replacement battery, or the Mugen - for the guarantee of quality, since I expect a battery to perform for 1 year with constant use.
Search the accessories thread for "battery" and "Mugen", you'll see what I mean

I bought an extra battery at dealextreme, a chinese website with free shipping to almost the whole world.

According to my own experience i haven't seen people mentioning a great difference between a stock and, let's say a 1500 mAh battery. Or am i wrong? i mean, with my current battery (more than an year old now) i'm getting 3 days of standby time with little use and with moderate use i get around 1-2 days (mostly 1 day) with moderate to heavy use when using internet...which is, i mean pretty much like any other smartphone out in the market.

That certainly doesn't coincide with my experience. I manage connections via Juice Defender (theoretically it provides me with 1.96x battery life...), with push email - but browsing, the odd game and a few phone calls means I just about get to night time to re-charge. As soon as the screen is on, the power drain is significant (tweaked auto-brightness).
My phone is just over a year old - the original battery was beginning to lose power noticeably, so I got a Mugen battery (the only brand of replacement batteries you should trust), which provides 1500mAh. I can definitely see a big difference vs the old, tired, OEM battery.

Mugen Battery has pretty good reviews and they are a reputed company too.

1000% that is the fake battery... only the cover is 2450mAH
I have bought one 1600mAh from Inno Cell Korea for 10$, it is also faked ones because its capacity is not 1600mAh
I use Battery Monitor widget pro to measure it, however it is only around 1200mAh+/-25% so it is the same as stock battery.
Anyway with ten bugs for a spare battery :d

Guys if you want better battery you can use battery from htc sensation. It`s bigger than stock one and you`ll need to break battery cover to close contacts for wi-fi work. I think it`s the simpliest solution =)

There is a whole topic explaining many options about this matter.
Check the topic about sensation battery. Or look at my guide at my signature.
It's in Greek, but you will have the concept from the photos.
The phone is working great all these months and also Wi-Fi is back to normal with other antenna.
Powered by my IceCold 8.6.1 DHD

In terms of affordability, there are at least 2 other options, instead of getting an additional battery/making a Sensation one fit in the HD:
1) an external power pack. Get a good one like NewTrent off Amazon, 5000mAh should cost you in the region of €25. Advantage - for the size of the phone, you can carry over 3x the original battery charge (and only connect it when needed, so it's not bulky 100% of the time). They even do 11000mAh packs, but they get proportionally bigger and that is about 8x the stock battery.
2) get a powerskin, currently on offer for about $20 I think on powerskin.com. Doubles capacity, can be taken off, but bulky when being used. On the plus side, it does double as a case.
I've got a 5000mAh external power pack, does the job fine, and I only take it with me/slip in into a bag if I'm going out all day on my bike (recording tracks etc) or into the countryside.
As an additional benefit, you don't need to power down when you connect either of these options, so it's more convenient than swapping a battery.

Chinese batteries are not good. The best ones are, the ones that are expensive. And you'll never have for HTC Desire HD batteries with real 1600, 1800 2450 mamp.
Try Mugen batteries, and test one from them. Others says that are ok.
