[Q] Will the sensation get an extended battery released?

Does anyone know if HTC will release an extended battery with replacement back cover for the sensation? Or perhaps something produced by another company like Mugen or Seindo? I have the US HD2, which works fantastic in the UK on Vodafone by the way, and I have the extended battery for it and in my opinion makes all the difference. I've had a good look online, htc, ebay, etc but no success.

Most probably
If you have a look around at almost any of the older models they have extended batteries available. The Sensation has only just been released in UK and is being rolled out worldwide. Wait until china gets their hands on it (June 8th) I believe and then wait for the HTC "alternatives" to be released

The antenna is in the back case so i doubt it.

Yeah I was thinking the same when I read about the antenna being in the back casing.
We never saw a extended battery on the DHD due to how the back was. The HD2 had a nice one which had a kick stand built in.
I would like to see one for the Sensation but that might well be difficult to manufacture and probably would be expensive too because they are putting components like the antenna in the casing.

Who is this response from?

Jan from Mugen. I can't add the links that were signed at the end of the email because I don't have up to 8 posts..or sth like that is what the error message said...*shrugs*
I sent them an email on Friday, I believe and they replied yesterday.

Just get a Anker or CHICHITEC 1900 MAH battery, my CHICHITEC lasts more than a day.

Further Update:-( I asked about the possible capacity and if there might be a protective case that will work with the phone after extended battery is inserted).
Dear [....],
Thank you for your email!
The larger size should be over 3000mAh, I don't think we will work on the protective case for this model, I need to ask our marketing team!
Because our holster sales not really good, so we only have 3 models for the holster at the moment!
Please contact me if you need any additional info.

well I don't have the phone yet. By the time I get it, Mugen should be out!

Did you ever get the battery?

Yeah, did you? I only see the 1800mhA Mugen battery for Sensation. (still 1.15x more capacity)

hey guys just want to let you know mugen has announced a 3600 mah battery due for release around 12 september 2011
if i could post a link i would, but if you want to see for yourself search for sensation on the mugenpower website, you should see both the 1800 and the 3600 now

Thanks for the info. I have to admit it looks great. But for the price of 105 US$ I will wait for some test to read and stick with the Anker 1900 I ordered.

I would have waited, I got a 2300mah generic for around $30 on eBay pretty dece, but really excited for the bigger battery, I know 105 is steep, but previous experience with mugen leads me to believe that it would still be well worth it, but that's my opinion

Yikes, what a MONSTER! That would be so nice to just abuse the bejeezus out of your phone all day without being able to kill it lol. I mean, with a battery of that size you could be a 4g hotspot for someone and game on the device itself all day I bet.

One day, I will just stick two 5 USD bats in the back of the phone ... solder 2 wires ... and get 4800mAh For now, mine is brand new, really nice, so ...

are 3000mAh batteries any good?

there are a lot of 3000mAh batteries on ebay... that are not expensive.. are they any good? how much more battery life will i get?

anyone has tried one of those 3000mah batteries?

EBay ones tend to be crap. Mugen s 3200mah is good and does the job reliabiy

Mugen is pretty expensive.. any other cheaper but good brand/model?

i am using mugen 3200, i will score it 8.5/10, the bad points are the case very loose and blocked flash light in a certain degree.

Nothing some blutack wont fix. And no I don't know. There's a post further down documenting some people's experiances with ebay if you want to look for it

Remember you'll always get what you pay for. If you want a second battery buy an orginal one.

thx for all your advices
i finally opted for an oem battery for desire/nexus one

Exacly...anything over original 1400 is bs in my opinion. I've heard about 3000mAh for HTC Evo but that battery is much bigger in size and require custom back case.

i got myself a 3200mAh mugen battery from the states best thing i ever did lasting for 5 days now on one charge

I bought a 3000mAh Extended Battery from the seller.

what rom are you on when you have 5 days duration ?

It's great if you want your battery to last days without charge but terrible if you want a nice sleak phone due to the fact that the 3200amh batteries add extra thickness to the phone which really makes it look ugly in my opinion. Mugen power batteries are really good though they are expensive. I'd be weary about buying from eBay because although they may be cheaper, a lot of the times they're not the capacity stated and have bad quality lithium ions that simply don't hold a charge!

Can I buy it in Ukraine? Somebody know?

I have a 3000mAh battery, but the only way I can get a full charge is with an external charger.
Then I can get between 3-4days from 1 charge.
Charging the 3000mAh in my phone, doesn't seem to last any longer than a standard battery.

I have had good experiences with these batteries in the past. 19.99 for one plus charger and 34.99 for two.

I have one of their batteries for my Incredible and have used it for 10 months now and it's still going strong. If this battery for the Sensation is as good as the one for the Incredible, I'll be very happy. Just ordered mine. Don't forget to use OFF10 to get an extra 10% off!

It made a difference for me in the past. I should have this soon to test but I got a few more hours out versus my G2 stock battery. I forget the sizes at the time. I've had the mytouch 4g, nexus s and g2x since so its been awhile. I have issues.

I bought one so I'll be sure to keep you updated after it arrives. Give it a week or so.

let us know how it fits, i don't want to file down the battery like i had to do on my g2...

yup true....i still have it on my g2 and going strong, just waiting for my sensation to come in and i will pick up one of these. kinda off topic but i really hope there will be a docking station for this phone...i waited for the g2 but it never came and only certain tmo stores had it.

Used this for my g2 as well gave me 2-3 extra hrs, the reason it didnt fit that well is because it was for the evo not the g2 but either way I purchased it too should get it tomorrow or thurs will keep you guys posted

I got one today, was already shipped just waiting for it at the mailbox. Will post more after I get it.

how about this.. since it was confirmed that EVO 3D batteries fit in the Sensation why not the 1930mah EVO 3D Battery for our Sensations.. its more less the same price as the one for Sensation, and same 3.7v as well

not shipping to australia :-(

Anybody willing to order 2 batteries for me and ship them to the Netherlands? I'll pay all the costs and a little extra
I'm in desperate need of more battery power, and only hong-kong ships to the Netherlands, but they don't have good batteries...

why get that 1900, when we can get 2 of the EVO 3D 1930 ones, its already confirmed that it fits
http://www.htcexpress.com/htc-battery/44-htc-evo-3d-battery-1930mah-battery-dock-usb-charger.html

I thought I read the evo battery were 3.8V which would in the long run hurt the sensation which supports 3.7V. Is that wrong?

So has anyone noticed a significant increase in battery life by using the chichitec battery? I would like to order, but I would be happy to read some positive comments beforehands.
My fear is that the 1900mAh are pure scam and that it is in fact just about the same as the OEM. Am I wrong?

Ordered it on monday but processing takes 4-5 days, I think everyone who purchased the Chicitec has had experience with the battery before. I had this with my g2 and notice about a 3-4 hr increase in battery life which is enough for me to buy from them again. I'm not sure if they're actually 1900 but if i get 2-3 extra hrs ill be happy.

1950 mah looks pre good and they are a reputable company for phone battery production, only question is are their any foreseable problems and if not il be purchasing one of these buets tonight .

Did you purchase it? If so, let us know how well it works

Waiting for stock atm, could be a month away. I do have the anker and chichi battery as well.

I dont understand why HTC not include this battery with our phone. We buy the best phone HTC has to offer now and they give us 1580mah battery and 1gb storage. This is not acceptable HTC!

I can deal with the 1gb of storage, its the battery life the drives me MAD. We'll see just how much this 2.3.4 update will improve battery life. I can't see it doing a lot but fingers crossed though.

Any news of this battery?

so between chichitec and anker which one has the titled capacity? I found many ppl report the anker only got 1700mAh. Poor me that I just ordered 2 of them with thoughts of 1900mAh each.......

My Mugen sensation 1800 mah came yesterday ...
So I ordered this evo 3d today because it should give additonal 150 mah, which is approx 10% more than the orignal stock battery.
The evo 3d from HTC with 1730mahwas fitting without any problems, so I hope that the Mugen evo 3d will do the same.
Best regards,

The chich and anker are the same, i think they are physically the same as in the same battery lol.

Have heating problem?

@dingolino : so the mugen 1950Mah, what do you think of that?

Has anyone tried this in a Sensation? Mugen is a reputable battery company so I wouldnt be surprised if its actual capacity is 1950. I would gladly buy one if it fit.

I have a Mugen for my HD2 and was very happy with it.
Now I have the Muggen 1800mAh for the Sensation a few days and I can see improofement over the HTC 1730mAh from the Evo, so I would expect from the new Mugen Evo 1950 an even better result.
So far my experience with Mugen is good!

[Q] Mugen VS Anker

Hello Guys,
My question is which battery is the best - Anker 1900 mAh (which actually proved to be around 1700 mAh) or Mugen Power 1950 mAh for Sensation/EVO 3D (not sure of the capacity is real). I have tried to find which battery is the best (even read the entire Anker thread) but I was unable to get a definite answer. I could see that Mugen is twice the money of Anker but it is coming from a well known company and also has temperature sensor. However Anker is a lot cheaper and provides good enough juice for its 15 bucks.
My HTC Sensation costs around $500 so I wouldn't mind giving $40 more for the Mugen battery but if the performance is small compared to the Anker battery I would prefer the latest.
So my question is which one is the best and have anyone tested both of them?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I am in the same predicament, been investigating the topic for a while now and... I guess they're very much alike - you won't find many (if any) people that bought Anker and swapped it for Mugen or vice versa.
The main thing is lack of disappointed people, can't see valid complaints against any of them, therefore my choice will be Anker - just because I a greedy bastard...

I have both and have used both for some time and I can say that the Mugen definately performes better than the Anker. Roughly I'd say that the Anker gives me 10% extra time over the original and the Mugen 25%, yeah it's really that good.
Downside is of course the price, but if you have some money, do buy the Mugen

Thank you atticus182. So it seems that Mugen is significantly better than Anker. Just in case I submitted a ticket with Mugen asking if I could return the battery if it proves to be with less capacity than 1950 mAh. Will let you know when they reply.
DaHorse: If Mugen prove to be real 1950 mAh then the price is justified but I guess I will just have to check it by myself.
Meanwhile if there are other forum members that have tested both batteries?

you can check out this thread to see people's performance in regards to the Mugen battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220518
It seems like its pretty definitive that the Mugen will indeed outperform the Anker. the problem is their store is out of stock until december 9th so you can't even get it for a reasonable price until at least then. Also, don't forget about the review done at batteryboss.org in which the reviewer showed that they might not be as great of a brand name as you thought.

As said, my vote goes to the Mugen.

Darn it, just ordered an Anker... Maybe give it a try and then buy the Mugen half december to compare. Didn't spot the Mugen topic btw.

I vouch for mugen too. Mines (htc evo 3d 1950mah) lasts almost a full day on heavy use. Plus the temp sensors work unlike anker.

I have the Mugen and am very happy with it. I used to get home from work with 40 - 45% battery left on stock. Now with the Mugen I have 60 - 65% left

For me there is no real question...I don't know what is Anker...just saw a lot of spamming everywhere on how cheap and cool it is.
I know that I'm a Mugen fan for their quality, service and social presence. When it comes to performance - I'm using Mugen 3300mAh for a year already on my Nexus S and know at least two people with HTC phones who cannot live without their batteries. I don't mind giving extra 30-40$ for good quality, support, warranty and facebook presence for such a niche brand. Mugen rocks!

I already have the Anker and am pretty happy with it but I'm considering getting the Mugen as well. Can't decide though..

Lol if anything your post sounds more like spam. I know mugen is a good brand obviously, but the anker thread is 120+ pages for a reason. not just spam.
also, why do you care about a brand's "social presence"?

Hello my friends,
sorry for my question here but i wouldn´t like to open a new thread for my question.
Also, who can i buy a original Mugen Accu for my Sensation. My original HTC Accu have enough power for me but i like a little bit more and i think Mugen is the best way or does the anker pass to me better?
Yours sincerely

what about Chichitec? $20 on amazon

I think Chichitec and Anker are almost the same in performance. I'd go for Anker because of its lower price.

I just shelled out for a Mugen battery. Why did I go for Mugen over Anker? Well, the reason is a bit lame, but I just don't feel right buying that sort of thing from (and only from) eBay, of all places...

both types are made in same factory in china?
