[BATT] [27-03-2009] 1800 mAh MDA Compact IV with pictures - not official one

All,
I managed to source a non-T-Mobile extended battery and cover for my Compact IV. I believe the original costs in the region of £40-£60 (for a 1340 mAh).
I've just purchased at 1800 mAh one for about £12 GBP ($18 USD).
Up until now, I personally was finding it difficult to find a 'replica' extended battery for the Compact IV (different cover to the HTC Diamond of course).
Anyway I thought I'd post some pictures up if people wanted to see.
I won't post a link to where I got it because I haven't tested the performance of it (just received it 30 mins ago!).
My usage is pretty heavy where the original 900 mAh would barely last me 8 hours on a good day.
I will post back results later if anyone is interested.
[UPDATE 27-03-2009]
Well I've been using the battery for a few days and of course it is as expected far better than the original. I haven't tested it with any perfomance software tools, just real life usage.
Full charged at 8am, the battery would easily last me 48 hours. Over this period I had a data connection always on (Exchange and personal IMAP). Just for testing purposes, I had the GPS (Tomtom) running for an hour, browsed the internet for a total of about an hour, plus the general calls and SMSs made/received.
Just one little thing: I had to remove the sticker around the battery because the cover simply would not close, I instead used sticky labels to cover it and now it fits like a glove! I personally think the whole unit feels better in the palm of hand with the extra thickness.
Overall, so far, I am impressed with this battery.

cool, i'm interested to hear your feedback once you use it for a while. thanks for posting the pictures.

Sh500,
Please give us a link to where you bought the battery, I'm really need one!

Ha, D8LOM

I'm a bit concern about removing this sticker around the battery, would this effect the battery in anyway? Did the seller not test to see if the cover closes with this battery?

As you've seen my HTC pouch I use at work, I'd like to know before I purchase this battery that if it'll fit into this leather pouch?
If you can't remember, I'v attached a simillar pouch from Google image.

This is the best cover design which i have seen

I also bought this same battery from the same supplier on e**y, and first day use already a vast improvement on the pathetic original. Fully charged from new this morning, 1 hour mp3 listening, plenty of emails, web-surfing, phone calls, etc and battery power has dropped by 3 bars, normally its virtually dead by now with the standard battery. I would consider myself a heavy user. The battery cover feels a bit plasticy (but seems strong enough) and as was said in the opening post you do need to peel the stickers off the battery to make the cover fit the phone (voiding any warranty for the battery) but for the price I think this is a winner. The extra-thick case feels a bit cumbersome at first but quickly got used to it. Overall so far so good and this is going to be used a lot when I am unsure when I can next get to a charger.

Hi,
Any updates on batery usage?
Can one of you measure the adittional size with new battery in mm or whole phone thicknes?
I would like to buy the same battery, but I have a dillema. I bought HTC original car phone holder, CU S170 witch looks like this: http://www.mobilesupplies.nl/holder-touch-diamond-s170-with-charger-pi-8691.html
I wonder, if phone with this 1800 mAH battery will fit to the holder
Also is there big diference between this 3rd party 1800mAH battery and HTC extendet 1340 mAH.

The thickness is a maximum of 16mm (tried to measure it with a ruler so not the most accurate!)
Yep I'm in the same situation with the car holder, I've got the same holder as you but one that mounts on the car vent. With the extended battery, your device will not fit the holder as there is no additional clearance on the holder.
I think it will be a while until someone manufactures a holder with additional clearance (perhaps a spring loaded back bit) to allow for such upgrades.
Ive been searching for another holder but the only ones that seem to do the job would be the universal 'gripper' ones - these are very ugly in my opinion but currently I don't have much choice! May submit a new post in the section.
I've been using my device for almost a week now and the battery life is consistently better than the original one. Even if I seriously abuse it running different things it would still last be close to 24 hours.
I can't comment on the 1340 mAh.
THIS CAR HOLDER MAY FIT:
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/Holder/HTC+Touch Diamond-Brodit-Holder.asp
It seems like it has the extra clearance and in the description it states "this kit should accommodate all battery sizes". I wonder if any with a Brodit holder can confirm this? But looking at the pictures there seems like plenty of clearance.
Quite expensive though!

Thanks for reply,
I almost decided to by the original HTC extended battery, becouse of the thicknes, as I read it last about 50% more than original, so that should be bearible it's about two days Not compromizing looks of the phone that much!
Now there is still a issue with the car phone holder, becouse I realy like the holder I got, you can use it in horizontal posittion as a vertical. And I like the build and aesthetic look of it.
There is a small bumps on it, to fit the phone better, maybe if I remove them I can fit my phone with HTC extendet battery in it. Or maybe it would fit anyways without remowing them (picture attached)
As I read, the phone with original battery 900 mAH is 11.85 mm thick, and with extendet 1340 mAH battery is 14.40 mm thick.
So would be nice, if someone could post feedback with original HTC car phone holder, and HTC extendet battery. DOES IT FIT OR NOT

Like i said, I have the same mount as you and there doesn't seem like extra clearance behind. I would be surprised if the 1340 battery would fit even with the extra bit taken off, you need about 3mm extra. Plus you dont want it too tight so as it would scrape against the edges everytime you took the phone in and out of the holder. But see if anyone else replies I guess.
I know Brodit do two specific holders for the Diamond, one for the 900mAh and another for the 1340 mAh.

I'd like to know this answer as well. I would assume the extended battery would make the device look as the size of the TouchPro.

It's difficult to judge the thickness of that pouch just from the picture. I still have my mate's Touch Pro with me and it is about 2-3 mm thicker than my MDA C4.

Nobe question: I'm assuming that's with the 1800 mAh battery on your phone? lol!

I want a battery that is higher than 900 mAh but the same size as the original 900 mAh so I don't need to make the diamond thicker and replace the back cover.

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.

I concur - two of these Mugen 1.3Ah batteries, properly charge cycled from the start and should have no problems with power. Previous experience with Mugen in other evices has been consistently excellent compared to stock batteries.

Anyone know ? that toshiba tg01 battery compatible with Battery for Palm Treo 680 750 750v etc?? It's look very same.
you can search in google or ebay . I'm new user - can't post picture or URL .

Finally I got the Mugen XL 2600 mah one, after a long waiting (25 days past till the battery arrived in Romania from Hong Kong, NOT MUGEN FAULT). My phone now it's a little bit bubbled, but it's... something for something......

And the stylus holder is a positive point ( Imiss it a lot!!!)
I'm happy with my new 2 Mugen 1300mAh + 1 Toshiba 1000 mAh, but the main advantage of having all the capacity together in a single battery comes from the silly Toshiba's policy of leaving us without USB/WIFI/Camera when battery is under 20%

Look at the air under that battery cover, can you imagine, if they used Lithium Polymer instead, and filled all that space for the purpose of being a battery how high the capacity could be

1300 Mugen seems to put pressure on the screen???
I got the replacement battery from Mugen that kinda fits the current back of the phone. But it seems to PUT undo pressure on the screen from behind that I fear over time will damage the screen (rainbow effect). It is thicker than the old battery and I noticed a rainbow effect right over where the battery is located so I took it out right away.
Reading other forums on the rainbow effect, I think the back cover needs to be slightly larger to accommodate even the 1300 mugen or I think it will damage the screen.
Prior to inserting the battery I never had any rainbow swipe effect and since removing it I have not had any. I was very disappointed about this and would love to have the extra power.

I have two 1300mAh Mugen since December, and it's all OK. It's true that this battery is a bit higher than de original, but this extra pressure goes to the thin plastic cover, not to the screen. The only problem is that closing the corver (always not easy in this device) becomes even more difficult.
Best regards

[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.

[Q] Anybody bought Extended Slim Battery 1980 mAh

Hello Everybody
I am looking to buying the following battery
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G2X-Opti...ccessories&hash=item2eb6f543db#ht_2178wt_1270
I don't want to sacrifice the sleek look of my mobile phone by buying 1350 mAh or 1450 mAh huge batteries.
Anybody bought these kind of batteries already ?
Do you find noticeable difference in run-time ?

That's the one I saw on ebay.
The thing I notice that the slim batteries that are larger in capacity than the stock batteries are more in price than the larger capacity and fatter batteries with a bigger back cover.
I wonder what is that???
I going to order next payday to try it out.
If you get it before I do. Let me know how it worked out for you.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

I do not think this is going to be any better than stock battery. Better to go with the fat one. You will at least get 2000 to 2200 mAh out of those for $10.

I have had that Andida battery for a couple of months now. Never any problems with it, and I would say I probably get somewhere between 30 minutes-2 hours extra charge over the stock battery, depending on what kind of usage, obviously. It feels noticeably thicker/denser than the stock battery. It fits inside with the normal cover, but you can tell it's a tighter fit. I also charge it sometimes on the spare port of my desk dock, and it's a tighter fit there, as well. And a bit heavier.
I won't make any claims of whether it's actuallyt 1980 or not...but it's a good battery...at least mine has been good to me. Nothing "night and day" that you're gonna convert religions over, but if you're looking for a second battery anyway, it's definitely worth it.

Generally, it's seemed like people with the Andida 1980 mAh battery have gotten an extra hour or two more over the OEM.

Thanks for posting that obostore link...when I clicked the OP's ebay link, I was pretty sure I didn't pay anything near $29, but it's been a while and I"ve bought so many things, I couldn't remember...but it didn't feel right.
$9 from obostore sounds about right...I've bought about 6 cases and other stuff from them, so they are legit. It does take about 2-3 weeks to reach your door from the time you order, since it comes from Hong Kong.

Generally, it's seemed like people with the Andida 1980 mAh battery have gotten an extra hour or two more over the OEM.

Thank you so much for this excellent link.
I was initially hesitated to buy this battery for $30 in eBay.
