Hi. I have used G1 for 5months and I satisfied it except that battery is too fast run out.
anyway,For 5 months, I have had only one battery.
I know that it's really uncomfortable. but I don't wanna buy another battery.
I used to charge it everyday and it make my USB cab going to come off.
It should be came off within a few days.
I wonder that I get a replacement by free.
P.S. In my case, I can't charge it with turn it on when battery is under 15%.
I have to turn it off and charge it. Is it problem?
thanks!
Just call your carrier and ask. CSR's are mostly retarded and you will get different results depending on who answers the phone. Some may replace it, some may not.
just whine to 611
i got a new one that worked much better than the battery i got on Oct. 22 (opening day) seems maybe the first few had bad cells...
and charge till full the run till dead the first 5 or 6 times you charge, its best to run it till the thing dies, as the warnings are just guesses and the battery much like some kinda power junkie needs to find its OWN "bottom"
then the phone and the battery know each others habits and will get along well for the life of the battery, (which is no where near as long as peeps think)
How many times have you heard "my battery always dies I plug it in every chance I get but it just doesnt seem to last as long as when it was new" you say "how long have you had the phone 3-4 years(same battery)" there ya go
batteries and the chargers made to charge them are more sophisticated than in the good ole' nicad days, mostly because an AA nimh can make a pretty big BOOM if not taken care of properly, you will see alot of stuff that says that all this full discharge -> full recharge stuff isn't necessary with modern rechargeable, you don't have to do it forever but those first few charges/discharges ARE important if even just to make your device aware of the capacity of a new cell.
alkaline - discharge on a nice slow decline
nicad - pretty much the same w/ a bit faster drop on the last 1/4th of the charge
nimh - pumps a stedy voltage unlike its older relatives listed above, but that last 1/4th drops like a stone, (kinda like your car notice the first 1/4th lasts waaaay longer than that last 1/4th, perception is reality, perception is reality)
yea, tmob knows there is a problem, so they musta gave the low level CSR rights to give away a new battery, cause I wasn't put on hold or transferred, and got a new charger, just say you used your voltage meter and talk alot about voltages and amperage, they may come up off one of them also, they did for me.

While I can't find specific references, it is NOT NiMH. It is wishfully LIPO (unstable when damaged), but I believe it is Lithium Ion.
These type of battery do not have the "memory" that you hope they do. The battery and the device will never acclimate to each other through charge/discharge cycles.
I dont know much about betterys so please bear with me if i am being stupid. Why are those 2400mA batteries larger and need a larger back cover. I have some AA batteries that are 1800mA and 2400mA and they are both the same size?

I just received my Anker battery from Laptopmate (ebay) today.
And surprisingly when I look on the cover, it seems there is a print out that is transparent from the back..and it shows number 1700.
Does it mean the real capacity of this Anker battery is only 1700 mAh?
The whole printout reads:
H0545148AR
TIF09NF1700 (I can't read clearly the first 3 letter on this second line)
Can anybody who receive this battery confirm this?
Does yours also show similar printout?
I attached the pictures for you to see.
Very interesting, I was going to ask someone whether they would tear off the labels on their batteries to look for serial numbers.
I've purchased 3rd party batteries in the past that had labeled capacities that were exaggerated versus the data sheet corresponding to the serial number printed underneath the label.
I believe that 545148AR may correspond to the battery listed in this document,

Here is a description of the datasheet from a different datasheet I have from the same company.
Notes:
1.Rated capacities of above batteries are measured according to the following conditions:
under 20+5℃, battery is charged to 4.2V with constant current of 0.2C5mA, and charged continuously with
constant voltage of 4.2V until the charged current is 0.01 C5mA., then discharged to the voltage of 3.00V
with constant current of 0.2 C5mA.
2.Under 20+5℃, 65±5%RH, rated capacities less than 1000mAh, it can be charged to 4.2V with constant
current of 1 C5mA, and then, charged continuously with constant voltage of 4.2V until the charged current is
less than 0.01 C5mA, then battery can be discharged to the voltage of 3.00V with constant current 1 C5mA.
The discharging time is not less than 54 minutes (or capacity is not less then 90% rated capacity); rated
capacities more than 1000mAh, it can be charged to 4.2V with constant current of 0.5 C5mA, and then,
charged continuously with constant voltage of 4.2V until the charged current is less than 0.01 C 5mA, then
battery can be discharged to the voltage of 3.00V with constant current 0.5 C5mA.The discharging time is
not less than 108 minutes (or capacity is not less then 90% rated capacity)
3.Among models of the batteries mentioned above, the battery model labeled R is prismatic battery with
round angle； the one labeled A is the battery whose shell is made of Aluminum；the battery model labeled
S whose shell can is made of steel；the battery model labeled F is a set of explosion-proof；the one labeled
J means the battery is made by automatic line；the suffix of ''H,M,E,L or 1,2,etc" added to the model name
was to sort the capacity of the model which has the same size, and have no meaning else

It would be interesting if someone can measure the dimensions and weight of the battery and compare it to the datasheet values to determine whether its the same battery or not. If the true capacity is actually 1650mAh, I would not be surprised at all based on my experiences with 3rd party batteries.
Guys I think the biggest thing to keep in mind about these Anker batteries, is that it seems to be a fairly unanimous consensus that these "1900" mAh batts are giving people longer cycles.
I spent a few hours today reading ALL the posts about every 3rd party battery for the Sensation, including the Evo 3D batts that work in the S4G. This Anker seems to have to mostly positive reviews by XDA members. Ya its a roll of the dice....but for under $20 to have possibly 4-7 extra hours....that's well worth it. I purchased one today....when it comes, ill give my results.
That faint number you see, that no one else seems to have noticed in the thread on Anker, could very well just be a random number....who knows.
Main thing....it seems to act like a 1900mAh battery

Hoping to love this $18.99-worth
I just bit the bullet and purchased this from amazon.com. For the price point as long as it gives any increase in battery life -and- doesn't set my phone on fire, this will be a worthy investment. As a newly converted blackberry user, battery life on android os devices just kills me. When I get the battery I'll post an update.
First post on xda FTW!
why did you feel the need to open a new thread about this when we already got more than one about the anker 1900mah battery?
My only concern with that is that its all just anecdotal evidence, no one here has tested the battery under controlled conditions with the appropriate equipment. Can we really reliably tell +100mAh from +400mAh based on peoples undefined estimates like "light usage, heavy usage", not to mention bias. Ultimately though, it probably won't matter to people as long as they think they're getting better battery life, which they probably are, but maybe not as much as they think they are.
this may sound werid..i may get flamed at i apologize... but what are the chances that these batteries will blow up compared to the oem htc sensation ones? is it really made out of high quality?
+1
I am also very skeptical about the 3rd parties and how they "feel", once again I will direct people to this test, Battery Boss where many popular 3rd party brands are tested to have only 70-82% of advertise capacity.
However every oem battery tested is around ~96% of listed capacity.
Sure its only 10 or $20, but I would rather put that money towards a battery with a 'true' rating.

Let us not forget that if you turn your HTC battery over, it says...Made In China.
These Anker batteries probably come from the same manufacturer as HTC branded ones.... well it's very possible at least.
Seems like some people think that because it's Chinese...it's inferior to the oem HTC batts. One and same

$40 versus $10, one and the same? Maybe, but more likely wishful thinking. Remember you're trusting guys who are lying about the mAh ratings.
http://batteryboss.org/
Well, i can tell you this: Stock my BEST day was 14 hours with two hous of "screen on" (use) time. My first day on an Anker was 14 hours with 3 hours "screen on" (use) time.
Today, my second day on the Anker and I am at 64% at 9 hours with just over 1 hour screen on time. I will leave work in an hour with probably at least 58% left. i NEVER left work with more than 38% with my stock.
Is it a true 320more mAh? Dunno. Do I get better battery life? Absolutely. Worth $21 for 2 batterys and a charger? Most most most definitely.

If you even get the same battery life as OEM for $10 I'd say it's worth it. If it's significantly better that's a great deal.
Anybody else that has bought one care to post their comments here? Are they worth it in your opinion?
If nobody else has dencided to take up the challange I will, I am going to charge both batteries to full charge, turn the phone on full brightness, Wifi on, and leave a program running (a graphics test ot somthing) and see how both batteries fair.
the only time I can do this mind is over the weekend, if someone else has the time to do it beforehand then feel free buti feel that this would a much better way of judging battery life other than 'High usage', 'moderate usage' ect...
I do however feel I got more battery life from the Anker than the stock battery, so I feel the numbers are simply just part of the product ID and people are flapping over nothing.
I spent days, even months trying to make my battery last longer and looking for portable chargers to carry around with me just incase I needed it.
I then realised I should just buy another battery, I have no idea why I had never thought of this before.
So a few months ago I purchased a refurbished genuine battery from eBay for only £4. The only problem now was the trouble of keeping one battery charged while using another. I then found a desktop charger which can charge the battery without the phone (link below)
I use this one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-Desktop-Charger-Cable-HTC-DESIRE-HD-/290594769249
This one could also be very useful
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-DESIR...DUAL-DOCK-STATION-STAND-DESKTOP-/320793954500
It will automatically stop charging the battery when full, but will still consume alot of electricity if left plugged in.
I've been using this method for about 6 months now with no problems whatsoever.
Now whenever my battery goes dead whilst I'm out, I just simple switch batteries and I have full charge again. It takes 2 minutes to swap batteries, no trouble at all, and a battery isn't too big to carry around, I keep mine in my back pocket or in my wallet.

People want to have ONE piece.
They want to be able to charge the phone when it needs to be charged, but they don't want to look at the percentage every five minutes and fear that the battery will be dead after a day.
Thus they want a battery with more juice.
A lot of people have skins for their phones to protect it and keep the resell value high. Those people might even consider to buy a powerskin which would give them an extra 1500mAh (at a price of course, but that's price vs. convenience).
Others know how to preserve their preciously mAhs.
Normally the phone should drain your battery by 1% to 1.5% every hour. That means it can run in standby and wait for calls and texts for up to 4 days.
Since you normally use the phone at least a bit, you should be able to keep it running on one charge for two days.
The last resort is to keep multiple batteries.
It can happen that you forget the spare. It can happen that you forget to charge the spare. It can happen that it's just not possible to swap batteries because you are standing outside in the dark.
There are just so many points why you would want to try and extend your phones live before you carry around a spare.

I prefer to carry a spare. Takes only a couple of hours to charge, and I always put it in my wallet straight after its charged. It's the cheapest option and imo its the best option. Better than a big bulky cover with a battery inside it that also costs a bomb.

I bought mugen power 1500 mAh. It's better, but still not for all day heavy use...
So i order htc Evo 3d with 3600 extended mugen power battery with spare cover.
The external charger thing is awesome. I always have a fresh battery available. Super cheap too. I have 4 batteries, enough to leave one at work, in the car, and at home.

It does seem the easiest and the cheapest option. I tried larger batteries and portable chargers, but none of them would make the battery last as long as I needed it to.
But now having a spare battery with a desktop charger is the best option for me, it cost me less than £10 for the genuine battery and desktop charger, and all I have to do when my battery is dying, is simply replace the battery. Less than 2 minutes later I have full charge. It's not hard, and it's not expensive, I just don't understand why people chose very expensive, and less effective options when this seems the most effective as it's twice as much juice, and it's the cheapest option too, extremely cheap.
The only downside is if you forget to take the spare battery out with you, but I got used to putting it in my wallet or my jeans pocket straight after it has charged. Some people say it's a stupid option because you may forget to take it out with you, but I could argue saying people with portable chargers could forget to take them out with them too. The way I see it is, you get so used to not forgetting to take your phone out with you, everyone checks to make sure they have their phone with them before they go out, and after a week or 2 you finally get used to taking the battery out too. When I first got the spare battery I did sometimes forget to take it out with me, but after a week I got use to checking I had the battery with me, as well as the phone.
My checks are... Wallet, keys, phone, battery, go

I bought a portable charger for £24 from Amazon, and it's proved really handy for me. It's a 7000mah Tecknet and can charge two devices at once as comes with loads of adapters. Although the spare battery is a good solution it's only a solution for that one device. A portable charger will also charge your back up or 2nd phone, mp3 player, and any other phone you buy in the future. It is as big as the phone so it's easily pocketable. I've considered carrying it in my boxers just to see the look on peoples faces when I unzip my jeans and plug my phone into my crotch. I've also been meaning to test exactly how many charges it does but it's at least 3.

I've got a NewTrent 5000mAh power pack, and it's good for - about - 3 charges. Not easy to be precise about that, since no accumulator maintains and returns 100% of its capacity, but 5000mAh is more than enough.
I use it for mountainbiking when I want to record a track and also communicate my position for 4-7 hours, without having to stop, lose a few minutes and change batteries.
Different solutions will be valid for different needs, but this is easy to charge and easy to use.
And it cost me about €20 off Amazon, which is a lot less than an OEM/Mugen battery.

The only battery that will increase capacity is the Mugen 1500mAh battery. There are a couple of threads already in this forum on this battery.
All the ebay batteries offering the world are, let's say, misleading the consumers.
The Mugen battery are less reliable, also even if its 1500mAh, it may discharge much quicker than our original battery.

How can it have more mAh than the original if it discharges quicker?
Maybe you should think about that for a bit.
Mugen battery has higher capacity!
and for my case, it lasts longer then stock batt.
has anyone tried any of the aftermarket batteries, whether it be from a store, ebay, amazon, etc.
I ordered a 2200mah battery for my Infuse off ebay for $8.
I am going to try that out and see if I get anymore life out of it.
I would have gotten the 3500mah battery, but I use an otterbox and I dont think it would fit since it has the bigger cover to hold the bigger battery.
I work in a metal forging plant, so I have to use an otterbox for my work... so it is a must have if I want my phone to last.
I did order a 3500mah battery for my wifes Samsung Captivate.. She doesn't really use/need a case. I got that off ebay as well.. for about the same price.
I hope her phone lasts longer, because she can't even get a day out of it... hers is rooted running MIUI.

I just got one of them 3500 batteries from amazon and its a solid battery, it wont fit on the case because i have the Otterbox case and cant use it with this, but you can definitely tell the difference in how long it lasts, and the case fits on the back of the phone great it has tabs and snaps right in. I use this battery when i am at home using wifi or alot of power on my phone and use the Samsung battery when i leave. Great investment for $10 but when you have the case on the phone it won't do you no good.

Getting a larger battery will help, but there's a lot of ways you can manage your phone's power consumption to dramatically increase your battery's life.
Take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510745
All I've done is use the power management program Juice Defender (on extreme setting, so data is off unless I toggle it on), not use a live wallpaper, and use a Gingerbread ROM (R3VELATION). With light to moderate use I get about a day of life, and if I took further steps I could even get more out of my battery than that.
EDIT: Whoops, you're the same poster as here, so it looks like the new larger capacity battery has solved your battery problems. I'll just leave this post up here anyway since it might help others.
Would the bigger battery cause it to overheat? or damage the phone in anyway?

Came in here to ask the same question about aftermarket batteries...was thinking about buying the OEM one off ATT site for $30 because I don't see an official aftermarket battery and i'm not sure I want to buy a $10 aftermarket off of amazon or ebay because of stories I hear about cheap China made batteries exploding or damaging the phone in some way
I just placed an order for this.....
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SGH-i...BMJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1332809949&sr=8-2
The description doesn't say so but all the reviews say it comes with an OEM battery along with the charger...great deal for $30 in my opinion if it is all OEM
The thing I've read about these batteries is they don't have a shelf life. Meaning as soon as they are made they start to depreciate. Then they sell the old ones on e bay, amazon at reduced prices as they don't last as long as a freshly hot off the press battery.
I have never had any luck in buying a extra mha rating battery, having it last an extra long time. I got Chinese 2500mah it don't last that long, and then I went and got a high capacity gold 2430mah it only last as long as a 1750mah , rather I have no idea how long normal is, as I got my infuse at a pawn shop used, battery last about 5-6 hours, normal usage, but what is normal? What is the basis of comparison? I mostly use it for movies, and wifi and, angry birds which eat my battery up.
My theory is the more you pay the younger they are, a 4 dollar batter last less then a 10th dollar battery. But I don't have the monies to buy every battery in all the price ranges to test and do all that techy stuff. To me it is just a grip shoot. Hit or miss.

All batteries age during use.
Aging factors are temperature and also voltage.
I think temperature is well known but I don't hear as many people talk about voltage.
Charging your phone to 100% and leaving it on the charger encourages aging.
Some of the cheapo's are not as resistant to aging as the stock batteries. Common story is they work fine for the first day or two and then start to noticeably lose capacity. I noticed that when I tried out the Fujei battery.
Adding to the whole mess as you alluded... evaluating battery life quantitatively is not an easy deal. My usage varies every day.
I get a rough feeling when my battery life is fading but it's subtle.
Battery Monitor Widget has a feature where it estimates your actual 100% battery capacity in milli-Amp-hours (1750 = factory spec but actual will be different and will decrease over time as the battery ages). I think that if you use BMW and allow your phone an uninterrupted charge from low voltage like 20% up to 100% (without using the phone during that period), then it will develop a pretty good estimate of your battery 100% milli-amp-hour capacity (because our phone does have a charging current monitor which BMW accesses, but it does not have a battery discharge current monitor). That's a lot of work, but probably not a bad thing to do once a month to keep track of your capacity so you'd see a trend like 1750 one month, 1700 the next month, etc. I might start doing that some day..
3500mAh Battery
It's been a week, and my battery life is going UP. I plugged in today, and at 1931 hrs today, I still had 61% of my battery life left. I have not had any appreciable decline in battery life, nor reduction in longivity. With the stock battery, my phone is completely dead by 1715. I unplug daily at 0800. My battery life has easily doubled by purchasing a no-name battery from an Ebay seller. I'm quite impressed with it, and I spent $80 on an extended battery when I had my TP2.
Has anyone try those 2500 mah batteries from ebay? I am interest in buying those since they are only 4 USD each. What do you guys think?
not sure if this is true or not but someone told that eco lithium battery can't last more than 2 - 2.5 year so how is it possible to save the battery life extending it
it doesn't make sense
any idea?

It's not a matter of time, it's a matter of charge cycles and the heat generated by them. Lithium based rechargable batteries (lithium ion [Li-ion], lithium polymer [Li-Po]) simply degrade from use. It's just a part of the chemistry involved. Like anything else in the world (tires, motors, underwear, tolerance for BS) it wears out with use. The accepted "lifespan" for a lithium rechargeable is ~500 cycles, after which capacity is reduced by upwards of 20% or so, and should be replaced. If you charge your phone every night and run it down to zero the next day, that's about a year and a half. Most of us don't go quite that far, so the 2-2.5 year figure you've heard is probably about average.
How can you extend it? Don't use it. Don't wi-fi tether, don't watch videos, don't play games, don't spend hours flicking left or right on Tinder, etc. Obviously, that defeats the purpose of having a smartphone, so take that in consideration when buying your next one. Can you simply pop out a fried battery and buy a new one off eBay for $10-20? Or can it be easily replaced with the right set of tools and patience? Or is it impossible and will cost too damn much to have it done professionally? Do you even plan on having the phone as long as the battery will last before it takes a dump?
"It doesn't make sense" you say. It makes perfect sense.

now that u explain it ,it make sense But not yet
my brother once had a job on Dell and they have a lot of laptop that they didn't sell so they have to change the battery every 2 year and get rid of the old batteries i don't get it maybe it is different thing on laptops
i have my phone sense 2013-1-10 so it's 2 years old and it's really in bad state it shut down at 85
when i check that battery with app or with the phone setting it's say the battery is good that weird
