Ok, so my friend has an Evo 3D, and I have a sensation, this made it easy for us to buy battery's since thy're interchangeable. So we looked for the highest capacity battery and found one rated at 2500mAh.
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-X-2500MAH-Bat...ltDomain_0&hash=item336a412ba9#ht_1491wt_1395
So they just came in today and they're the same size as the stock oem one, but as I popped it in and charged it up, I was at 100% battery for 3 hours straight, followed by a semi-steep decline in battery life.
But as I read other threads, you can peal the sticker off to find a S/N that could give away the real mAh, so I've attached pics of what I've discovered and how my battery's faired all day.
Oh, and I'm running LeeDroid 2.2, freaking amazing rom.
Just wanted to post what I found.

A while, about 1:30 - 2 hours, I used maps for 30 min, then just checking email and reading some engadget.
If i remember correctly, the true mAh on the S/N is the last 4 numbers on the 2nd set of numbers.
So, your battery is only 1700 mAh instead of the 2500 mAh as advertised.

Dang that's disappointing, but better than stock so I can't complain!
Hmm.. 1700 mAh
not 2500mAh.....
Anything is better than stock....
I would tell people to stick to the chichitech or anker batteries.
perhaps it means 2x 1700 mAh = 2500 mAh with a light error in calculating ^^

Yeah right. LOL.
I can't see 2500 mah fitting into the same size shell. Batteries with that sort of specks usually require a new battery cover. Just look at the phones that require a new cover of with batteries near the same power output.
At least you do have a battery that gives you more up time than the stock though.
Think I'll be with the chichitec, myself.
Congratulations, you bought an anker/chichitec, according to those numbers they're all using the same cell, and they're all exaggerating the mAh ratings.
Btw stock is 1520mah

After a couple of unsuccessful trials with replacement batteries (declared 1100-1200 mAh but always 900 mAh in the reality, tested with "htc test battery" found somewhere in this forum), I purchased a 1200 mAh from "pda-square.de".
Battery is same size of original 900 mAh battery.
I've inserted it in my Diamond and the response of htc test battery is: 1340 mAh
Now let's see how long it lasts in the real life....
After some days, what's your opinion about this battery?
In the "real life" my feeling is that the battery doesn't last so much more respect to a new original 900 mAh. Giving the increase in mAh (+50% respect to the original) I would expect a significant improvement.
What I've noticed is that now it takes much much longer to get the battery fully charged with the original charger.
The 900 mAh used to last how long with your normal use? (in hours)
And the new 1200 mAh ?
I can't tell you a number in hours, but consider that with the new 900 mAh battery I usually recharged it every 2 days, with "aged" 900 maH battery every day, and with new 1200 mAh I can come back to recharge every 2 days (when only 1 bar is left in the battery charge indicator on top of the screen).
I use it mainly for email and PIM, but I work in an area where signal is very poor so probably the radio receiver is always forced to absorb lot of enery to keep signal.
Dude, got a link to where you can buy these? Thanks!

Got a short Q.
Is there any bigger battery's for HTC desire? i can change the plastic backside so it gets thicker if needed..
Were ever i look i only find Seidio 1600mAh.. but wonder if there is even bigger.
Best regards Thomas
I asked mugen power batteries about this about a week ago. they will release a "standard" 1600mAh during may.
The extended battery was under processing. not surrme what that means
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
hm. 200 more doesnt sound alot really.
I meen.. for if the phone is 2-3mm or even 5mm thicker does not matter for me.
and if soo maybe there is a 2000 or even 3000mAh avalible soon.
MVH Thomas
why need a larger battery? my desire last for hole 2 days with moderate to havy use. in light use I got up to 4 days.

I am not sure, if you read the whole thread of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5936653
You will find out some interesting facts and figures, from user experience.
One user tested:
After running first the 2400 mAh for a couple of days, and getting more and more suspicious about the claimed mAh, then the 2700 mAh one and getting even more dissatisfied with that one, I decided to run a simple test to confirm my suspicions. I decided to put brightness at max, bluetooth on, leave sync on, GPS on and start up the video streaming app Qik. I ran it with live GPS tracking and left it on my living room table until it ran out of juice. First up was the standard 1350 mAh battery, it managed 110 minutes. Then the claimed 2700 mAh one, it survived 118 minutes, and at last the claimed 2400 mAh one, that managed 115 minutes. And this confirms my suspicions almost exactly, although I must admit I felt the 2400 mAh one was a bit weaker than the stock one, and the 2700 one a tiny bit better. But anyway, its so close to my experienced feelings after running them for several days at work, with very equal usage each day, that made all of them last almost the hole 8-9 hours on one charge, that I will not bother to run any more tests. Its good enough for me. So that means my claimed 2400 mAh battery is only around 1400 mAh, and my 2700 one is also only around 1400 as well. And this is batteries that are around twice as thick!

I'll test and report here... the HD2 version it's a good battery (no miracle, but noticeably better than original)
This external portable charger sounds promising. It has a claimed output rate of 700mA what is just as good as the original socket charger.
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4662&t_mode=des
The other with AA batteries is questionable as I suspect it has not more then 200-300mA output juice which will take your desire 8+ hours to recharge fully if not touched. What is way to much if you ask me!

Mugen Power Extended Battery for HTC Desire A8181 with battery cover in Brown 3200mAh
Batteries were bought from these sellers:
from hk_yuqian (1800mAH)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150541501350&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
from emmaxie126 (1500mAH)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250755462532&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
and the stock 1300mAH battery, one month old.
from chichitec (1800mAH Evo 4G)
http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html
Capacities were measured down to 3.1V's (well below the point where you phone will no longer power up from the battery)
Stock battery capacity = 1099mAH
Anonymous 1500mAH = 990mAH (Only 843mAH on the second)
Anonymous 1800mAH = 1224mAH
Chichitec 1800mAH = 1386mAH
As a side note, the 1800mAH battery ordered from above had a space under the sticker to fill the battery up to the full form factor of the EVO, so a real 1800mAH battery will probably fair even better.
The discharge graph is attached
Bumping this because I cant believe you put up actual test and number and no one cares to blow this up like the 10 other threads!!.. Id love to know what the 1800 will be at in after a few charges? for 5ish bux its worth it to have an extra hour or two as long as it doesn't surprise you one day and last 2 hrs.
The fact it lasts longer than the stock battery by 20% is already rather nice for just $5.
For Archive Purpose
I will test the 1800 again in a few weeks.
However it is the 1500mAH ones that I worry about with their sporadic discharge pattern.

Chichitec 1800mAH battery results

Have you had a chance to test the mugen 1800?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
How did you test it? I wouldn't mind being able to test a battery I've got coming to me.
I based the design off of this instructable:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-True-Battery-Capacity-Tester-Li-IonNiMH/
The thing about the design is that you have to calibrate it yourself, just once, because the code used on the arduino wants to know the exact resistance value of your dummy load.
You can google some ways to get a more accurate reading of your load to get truer numbers.
But with the original htc battery testing at 1100mAH's of its 1300maH's after several months of use, I figured mine was accurate enough.
But accuracy aside, it is very consistant. I checked the new battery twice, and it gave the exact same results each time. So all the results are highly accurate when just compairing to each other.
Awesome results ! Any info on the Mugen 1800 ?
I think I have enough batteries at the moment, so i can't justify the Mugen 1800. It was fun testing them all though and knowing exactly which one was the best.
Even I thought those first two 1500mAH batteries gave the "15% better battery life" than stock. So it is nice to take the guess work out of it and know it was all in my head.

generally speaking the weight of the battery relates to the amount of li-ion in the battery (this can only be a generalization due to the casing of the battery and the like) but simply put the higher the weight the larger amount of li-ion in the battery which increases the Amp Hours; Ah
edit: so continuing on a 2300mAh battery should be heavier than a 1500mAh battery as it would have more li-ion in it
so anyone got one this already and tested it out
I have BXT'S extended model BP6X and am using it with my Motorola XT720. The BXT battery weighs in at 24g (it is rated at 2200 mAh) and the OEM BP6X weighs in at 28.7g (which is rated at 1390 mAh) I have used the battery for about a day (with the charge that it had shipped with) and it didn't last very long. I was also running a 1.2ghz overclock at the time so that could have contributed to it too. I believe however that I need to charge it for about 10 hours or so the first charge, just to make sure it has its full capacity. (which I have not done yet) I can give a full overview in a day or so if you guys would like.
This is the one I have:

Yes, that is probably true. I have also heard reports of android's battery meter not correctly read the % of battery power on these BXT extended batteries but it may vary from phone to phone so people will have to test it out on their devices. What the report said was that the battery would quickly drop to 25% and then it would take HOURS to drop to 0% but low battery messages would pop up frequently during that time because the phone believed the battery was that low, even though the actual battery % was not that low because it was just incorrectly reading it. I could not tell yet from a few hours of use whether or not I experienced this problem with my BXT BP6X.
Don't buy bxt 2300 mah
I ordered this BXT 2300mAh battery on July 21st 2011.
1st of all it came after 15 long days of waiting.
and when it finally arrived the battery was non functional. DOA
(that might be a one time thing)
But what's really surprising is the weight. As someone mentioned before; if the battery is more powerful it should be heavier. So, a 2300mAh should have more li-ion and should be quite a bit heavier then 1520mAh Stock. right?
(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
well this battery doesn't even weigh as much as the stock.
my conclusion: FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!
I just filed a PayPal claim to get a full refund.
Don't be sucked into buying this battery!

The battery in my V10 is 3000 mAh. I saw one on Ebay that claimed 3800 mAh. Is that possible in a battery this size? I know a lot of off brand name batteries inflate the numbers to sell them. I wonder if this is the same. Do any of you have a standard slim battery that is over 3000 mAh?
There is batterys for the LG V10 that can go up to 9000 mAh and higher. They are NOT inflated numbers. The only thing about these batterys is that you will have to have a thicker case.

I am sorry to say, but until the technology progresses, the battery will only increase in size as the mAh increases. IF the 3800 battery you speak of is the same size as the stock battery, it is bull**** and will not be 3800 mAh. If its a shady seller, it could be a even less than stock. Please be wary of these people in the future.

I agree with you 100%! I am still willing to bet that a battery can be made with a higher capacity than the stock one, and have the battery size stay the same. There is a limit to how much capacity can be squeezed into a battery this size, and as you say, when that is exceeded, the battery size has to increase. I just have not owned a mobile phone in a few years that had a removable battery. I was able to find higher capacity, standard sized ones in my other phones, just hoping I will find one for the V10 that is actually the rating on the battery. Amazon has several that are rated as 3300 mAh, but I am not sure if the performance difference on those would be noticeable, even assuming that the specs are legit. If somebody comes out with a super high capacity larger battery with a good case, I may try that.
Well 3300mAh is maybe real. I noticed that the stock battery continues to charge for around 1 to 1.5 hours after you see the "battery charge complete" message. Looking at the charge current with abttery monitor widget it looks like the stock battery when charged fully till charge current becomes zero has in fact 3200 to 3300 mAh capacity. When i do this i also see that my battery sits at 100% for several hours before starting to drop which confirms that. So maybe these 3300mAh batteries are really with such capacity but nevertheless they will not give you better battery life than the stock battery.
