Droid charge batteries - Verizon Droid Charge

Just wondering has anyone purchased some spare batteries on ebay? I don't want any extended ones cuz i don't want extra size to the phone. I wanted to buy a spare one actually made by Samsung and a battery charging dock so i won't have to switch batteries just to charge them. I don't know if any other non-oem batteries are any good. Hopefully someone can give me some feedback or info about that. Thanks

Honestly I bought the media dock with spare battery at VZW and havent looked back since. doubles as an alarm clock, charges spare battery at the same time and i dont need to worry about fiddling with plugging in the cable, just slide it into the dock. It's very much worth the 49 they are asking since the dock alone is 39 so its an extra 10 for the oem battery

I was just browsing ebay and there are some 1800mah batteries. I am wandering how true that can be though!
I purchased some of these batteries for my thunderbolt and didn't notice any difference, not sure if i want to spend that much money on sth like this again !
It'll be good to know if anyone has actually tried these on their droid charge ...

When I had the Nexus S, there was a huge topic about the 1800 mah batteries from China. The result? It was fake. So I wouldn't go for those. Just stick to the standard Samsung 1600 mah batteries or the extended ones.

Yeah i was thinking id just go for the Samsung ones

Yup, just like the seido batteries on the droid incredible. Nothing but garbage but claimed a much higher rating in the same form factor. There was a huge thread on df about it where a guy ran a discharge tester with just about every battery that was sent to him.
OEM or the 2200 battery in the factory format must be new technology that the oem's haven't picked up on yet, lol lol lol

Because I can't post links yet, I unfortunately can't show you guys the extra batteries that I have. However, if you go to Amazon, and search "Hyperion Samsung Droid Charge i510 2 x Battery + Charger", you can see them.
For 25 bucks they're not a bad deal for two batteries, and I get comparable battery life to my original battery.

Wish i could have seen those earlier. I ordered two Samsung batteries and an external charger from ebay. The batteries are 1500 mah instead of the original 1600mah. So ill see how those work out...

I got the desk dock that another poster got from VZW. Fortunately, I got a 25% discount because of my company.
I had a bad experience with ebay batteries on my DX. The one I got on that will only charge in charger that came with it - not in the phone. And, then the phone does not always recognize that battery. Because of that burn I only buy OEM now.

One of the main reasons I like having a hacked kernel is the ability to use non-oem batteries (unlike the DX) - use something like the pbj kernels that incorporate that option. & Another reason I'm waiting on making the switch to a GB rom.
{SDCharge Humb£e 1.25}

I'm using the the Hyperion batteries in both the GF's Tbolt and my Charge with no issues at all. Yes the wall charger is quite slow but I don't mind becasue I figure it's not hammering the batteries with a high rate charge.

3rd Party Battery

Are there 3rd party batteries that are higher quality than Samsungs? Last longer?
I don't think third party batteries would work because of the battery script. I could possibly work if you are on punk.kaos's or jt1134's rom (CM7)

3rd Party batteries should work with any custom kernel. However, I have never read 3rd party batteries consistently outperforming the OEM battery. If you're looking for a cheap alternative for a "just in case" time, then they are good, but that is it.
I don't know about necessarily outperforming the OEM battery. 1500mAh is 1500mAh. The only way it would really be different is if it was defective.
I have had great luck, myself, with this kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/3x-1500mAh-Batt...603758?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b20f256e
Using a custom kernel (which I've been doing since pretty much day 1), it works perfectly (no warning popup).
I only use the included charger with the 3rd party batteries, though. I'm not up for taking chances on that part.
What!
So Am I understand this right? Aftermarket/oem batteries do not work with stock kernal?-AT

They work "fine" with a stock phone, they just can't be charged in the phone. Which is why a lot of ebay auctions include an external charger. I have 5 batteries, all Samsung, last batch I got out of China $2 each. I use the OTB kernel which allows me to charge non-fascinate batteries in the phone, however, I rarely do. The external chargers are very nice I just swap to a fresh batery and throw the dead one in the charger.
The Seidio batteries work fine for both stock and with custom roms/kernals. They charge fine in the phone and run fine. No issues.

OK for starters i am running the latest miui ROM and loving it. for the battery it wont work on my wife's phone with a older ROM cant remember what she has on it.
for the battery i was getting about no more then 8 hours running Pandora all day at work now i can get about 2.5 days on one charge with going to work and listing to pandora for 2 days at work. so i think if you pick a good rom that supports it go for it

I have tried a couple of these batteries
AND THEY DO NOT WORK WITH THE FASCINATE!!!!.. THEY DO WORK WITH THE VIBRANT BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT THE FACINATE>....
I just got a seidio battery for my telus samsung galaxy s fascinate... And it's not charging at all. Had it in the phone and plugged into the charger all night last night. The charge went down to zero % and then when I unplugged the phone, it shut itself off due to the lack of charge. My phone is stock with no roms added, just the firmware upgrades. I'm at a loss.
I have a 2300 mah I got from Amazon for 15$ I believe, however it was listed as 3000 mah. makes a big difference

Anker 1800mah

Had anybody tried the 1800mah batteries made by anker for the epic?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Hard to search from tapatalk, but I posted my experience on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182278
I'm in the process of RMA'ing one of them. The other is good. Seller has been responsive so far.
EDIT: Seller sent the replacement battery quickly and for free. As with the original battery, turned out it was a non-issue. So, all Anker batteries that I received work well. All batteries have 2011-09 timestamps - fresh.
Can this battery be charged in the phone or does it have to be on an external charger?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
it's not that great. their 1500 is better some how.
it does charge in the phone btw, but it take a long time to charge.
The Ankers worked great for me. I got two plus a charger and now they are all I used. I used to carry two spare stock batteries around just in case. Now these two are it. I'd take two of these over three stock batteries any day, even though I know the math does not add up.
They do charge in the phone, but if I actually have to use the spare, then when I get home I charge one in the charger at the same time the phone charges the other. The phone charges faster than the charger, but maybe slower than it charges the stock battery.
I don't have a good way to test how much charge a battery holds though. Is there an app that tracks battery usage so I'd be able to tell how much more charge one battery has than another?
I bought the Anker 1800mAh batteries and charger for $17 on ebay (maybe cheaper, I don't remember). My wife uses it in her Epic and it easily lasts all day long, no issues. I find it to last almost as long as my stock 1800mAh battery does in my Epic Touch.
No issues with either one, recharging time isn't an issue since it'll last all day and it'll recharge overnight while we're sleeping... Plus that leaves us an 1800mAh and the stock 1500mAh batteries as spares...

I got them from amazon, 2 for $20 with the free charger. I've bought other batteries before but now can't imagine why anyone with an epic wouldn't get these.

I'm pretty happy with, Battery Monitor Widget
Ordered from Amazon
I just ordered the 2x1800 mah Anker batteries plus an external charger for about 27 bucks from Amazon. Can't wait to get them and try them out. I think I might've burned through my stock battery a bit faster than usual because it doesn't seem to hold a charge as well as it did, and I was always flashing ROMs and having to re-calibrate the battery every time.
Curiously enough, the stock battery issue seemed to be more pronounced when I went to EI22 and flashed the ACS ICS "F*** it, we'll do it live" v5.5 ROM
hmm....could be just in my head, though. It's a great ROM.
I just got the 2 Anker 1800mAh batteries with the external charger for $20 plus tax (still under $22 with free 2 day shipping using Amazon Prime).
This was a GREAT deal so far, and it's nice to have 2 spare batteries (one extra 1800 and the stock 1500 I've been using for the past year).
This is a bargain and I recommend anyone who has even thought for a sec about getting a spare battery to pick up this deal.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri...GXR6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323157418&sr=8-1
The only downside I can see so far is that the battery is SLIGHTLY heavier, so the phone feels a little heavier than with the stock battery. I guess it's just physics.
Makes the phone feel more solid.
I had a 100% charge at noon today and so far with pretty heavy use, 12 hours later, I'm at about 44% which isn't bad. In the past I've had to charge in the middle of the day to avoid phone going dead at night.
Wow!! Anker-licious!
So I finally got my (w)Anker batteries in the mail and charged one up. I installed it, immediately booted to ACS Recovery 5 and wiped battery stats, rebooted, and I've been running the phone uninterrupted ever since. This was very early this morning.
So far so good!! Ten + hours and only at 76% after mostly idling, with some moderate Facebooking, Youtubing, and Bluetooth audio streaming thrown in.
Battery fits perfectly in my Epic and zero issues so far.
I wonder how it will behave after the break-in period of 4 to 5 cycles.
I use the anker 1800 in my wife's epic. It consistently gets 3+ hours over the stock. Well worth the $12 and a real upgrade for us as the stock battery would always give up around the 11hr mark and the same use she gets 14+ hrs w the 1800. Around 3 hour screen on time maybe.
Although in my nexus the anker 1600 seems worse than my stock battery. Worth a try but not an upgrade in a nexus.

Sorry bout that last "post" I was taking the back off my phone lol. Anyway, here's a question:
My wife got the Touch not too long ago. Before, she had what I'm using now, the Epic 4g. When she had the 4g, she was getting such crappy battery life that she bought an xtra one. When I adopted the Epic, she didn't want to give up the battery. (Don't ask me why,she's crazy) But she has been holding onto battery, afraid to put it into her SG2. From reading the posts in here, I'm assuming that she can use her xtra battery (1500mAh) in her SG2. Am I right? I'm sure she wont get nearly as long life as the 1800 that's in her phone now, but she could use the 1500 in a pinch couldn't she? (No matter what the answer is, I'm gonna tell her no so she'll pony up the xtra one lol) But just out of curiosity, would the 1500 work in the SG2?
Thanx,
Ridge

Take a search for ebay batteries and you'll find at best they are ok at best, at worst.....but who knows, buy em and if they are what they say they are then spread the word.

+1. There is no way the amount of space we have available for our batteries that you are going to get any more energy cells. Its all bull. The stock battery is the best you will get. If you suspect it is not performing its best, take it in to att and they will replace it if its gone bad prematurely.

It ships from asia. I dont buy anything that ships from asia cause you risk it being a fake. But here is a link on reviews of it from other users who purchased it.
http://www.htcdesirehdforum.com/htc...rnative-battery-2430mah-high-capacity-bas470/
The Anker 1600 mah battery is like $8? $9? On ebay. After batt calibration, this thing can go over 36 hrs running cm7. Mugen's are awesome too. Not all the batteries on there are bad, but as a general rule, stay away from anything shipping from Asia.
Still it is the wrong forum but as long as the topic is open....
+1 for the Anker 1600 batteries. Picked up 2 and a universal charger on ebay for about $15. Have only been using one of the batteries. But the difference is very noticeable over the HTC battery. Much better battery life. Installed Battery Monitor Widget to get some stats on the battery. Reported at 1480mAh. Don't know if the app is correct. HTC battery may have been starting to degrade already too which says alot of its quality. But the Anker battery so far for me has been out performing the HTC battery.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XUNRRQ/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details bought those and they are great i easily get 2 days out of one battery, 20$ you get 2 1600mAh and a standalone charger, i think its a great deal!

Looks fake to me. I bought an extended battery a few months ago to replace my stock battery. It was actually worse than the stock battery. I would bet that this is a standard capacity battery with a gold packaging to make it look even better.
I bought a refurb'd inspire 4g. My battery was faulty, like my phone kept shutting down randomly.
Then I got a battery from aftermarket, all is well.
Mine lasts 2 days with juice defender, without it, it's like 6 hrs.
Radio makes a lot of difference to battery life. Don't see how you can put an extended battery in an inspire casing... just saying..

I used to say the same thing over and over. But my white laptopmate batteries are still kicking butt. Battery monitor rates them on average of 1475mAh. If you want to call that extended, I wouldn't. No it doesn't rate them 1600 like the packaging says. Whether that value is correct or not doesn't really matter to me. They work well and I believe better than the original. Our oem battery is chinese made too by the way.
And maybe these third party manufacturers do rate them loosely. Or maybe the oem batteries are rated very conservatively. I never had a chance to see what battery monitor rated my oem. But these 2 batteries and universal charger were worth every penny of the $15 I spent.
I learn that if turn off the wifi when you not use, will let unit run longer

Halo Pocket Power 2800 mAh power pack

My wife got one of these for everyone in the family for Valentine's day.
She didn't say where or how much but she's a QVC fan so I'm guessing she got it here:
http://www.qvc.com/HALO-2800mAh-Poc...Cellphones-&-Electronics.product.E223301.html
$30 each + S&H, but cheaper if you order several
More info here:
http://stores.halo2cloud.com/-strse-17/Halo-Pocket-Power-2800/Detail.bok
and here:
http://halo2cloud.com/resource/pdf/PocketPower2800UserGuide.pdf
The good things:
When you press a button, an LED lights Green for almost full, blue for half-full, red for almost empty
Delivers 1000 milliAmps while charging phone... should charge it 20-100% in about 1.5 hours.
The bad things:
The usb port on the powerpack is a female USB (just like on your pc).
So when charging your phone from the powerpack, you can use any old cord (which is fine) BUT....
.... when charging the powerpack (from your pc or your normal charger), you need a special female-to-female USB cord. The supplied multi-purpose cord fits the bill, but if you ever lose it, you'll have a hard time finding another. The typical USB cable has male on one end and female on the other. I guess I'll rubber band the cord together with the powerpack so I always have the cord handy when/where I need it.
I previously bought 3 Feipusi batteries for $5 each. That seemed like a good emergency/backup plan to me. A spare battery is actually much smaller and easier to carry around than this power pack plus the cord. I guess this is handier backup plan since you don't have to power down the phone and pull of the back. Also if you want to help out a a buddy with a different style phone, chances are your battery won't fit his phone but this powerpack will work.
I prefer to extend tu life of my phone . I got a 2100mah battery for 7$ on ebay to replace the stock 1750mah . It goes up to 3500mah but at the cost of increasing the phones back cover in size making all phone cases unable to fit. Also i use juice defender and Aeon custom rom makes my infuse around 30+ hours of battery time in normal use. Saves the trouble of switching battery for only a 7$ investement

$7???? went to ebay and they were all $34+ except for one from China that didn't say what it was. I have the OEM and a 3500mah but that extended back is a killer (slippier). Someone suggested a couple of coatings of liquid rubber for the back would work. Haven't gotten to that point and if I can find a battery at the right price like you did, I might never get to that option.

It is a myth that you need to drain a new battery. Modern li-ion batteries do not need this and actually hurts battery life. Do a google search for "drain new battery myth" and you will see many articles on the subject.
After all the research I've done, it seems that any time you let your battery get below 65% or so, you are actually hurting battery life and will have to get a new one sooner than later.
Well this new battery and running Avatar 0n my phone it lasts me from sun up till after sun down every day with lots of use on my breaks at work and beyond. Totally love it. Way better than b4 when it lasted maybe 6 hours

2450MAH High Capacity Battery?

While looking for new battery for my sensation, found this battery.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2450MAH-Hig..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item3a769ad5b7
It a 2450MAH High Capacity Japanese Battery and it only $6! I was wondering if anyone have tried this and should I buy this? I was gonna buy an anker but after looking at some battery on ebay found this. There are also 2 of these plus a charger for only $10! Way cheaper than the anker...

It has been proven many times that the 2450mah claim for this battery is extremely exaggerated.
If a battery manufacturer will lie (quite a large lie) about the specs, then I would also highly doubt the quality & longevity of it.
Also, I really doubt they are made in Japan.
So NO, go and buy an Anker in other words, they are by far the best.

Ok thanks. One more thing, does the charger that is included with the anker have usb? Just one anker battery cost $17 and 2 anker plus a charger cost $30. I'm only gonna need one battery but looking at my charger which is a bit ripped I want another charger just to be safe. So was wondering if the anker charger included in the pack of 2 battery has usb plug like the stock charger.

Well the charger I got from Anker has a micro-usb connection input (female), but there is nothing else supplied. So you need another HTC charger (or similar) to power it up.
Anker or Mugen power.
I personaly bought the Mugen power (1950 Mah ) and I'm very happy with it's performance.
It's true that it's more expensive that the Anker batery but it had some better argumented reviews at the time I was searching plus the thermometer (I like to know if and whae the battery gets warmer).
As you can see to this link he sells thousands batteries. I bought too "gold" batteries for friends. They didn't said me something bad. For me i afraid to take something like that. Maybe go to Anker battery at future
Getting my gold batteries this week... Anker sucks

gold battery is cheaper than anker
I was using gold battery on my HTC DHD it worked really good for more than a year after that it started to drain faster but anyway it was better than original battery (talking about lasting time)

ok after all this time using gold battery from ebay I can confirm it works fine. I'm still putting my phone on charge every evening but I'm just used to doing that. phone can last three day on moderate usage no gaming just phone calls, texting, some browsing and so on. much better than original battery. from my experience with two different HTC phones with the same kind of cheap gold battery I can confirm it works fine and is high quality.

Saying that it is high quality seems a little like exaggeration.
But I guess it works somewhat OK.
I don't think it is gonna last long though.

i used my HTC DHD for over a year with gold battery, then gave it to my brother and he is now using this phone around a year long with same battery what he says that the phone lasts at least two days for him. and two days is still longer than I was getting with my HTC DHD with brand new original battery. so think what you want but honestly see no point in buying quite expensive anker battery or what ever else you guys are using.

i got 2 anker batteries and a wall charger for £13 off eBay and they have done me quite well. i use one during the day and then (7am - 5pm) and then i have my other one charging ready for me to just pop into my phone. so I'm never out of power. i also have one of the 2450mah ones and i see the anker lasts at least 3 hours longer.
