I'm interested to buy this, what do you guys think? For those who have this, any feedback, including its performance, would be appreciated. For the price, I can actually get two HTC or four Momax 900 mAh batteries, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. By the way, the cover is mat instead of glossy.
I found the pictures on Google.
Well, I really love the matt finishing and overall high quality. Thats the finishing that HTC should have given in the original batt.
With the old glossy surface, the pyramid peaks are very vulnerable to scratches, and you can see whitish tiny scratches on the peaks. With the ext-batt's rubbery surface, it's almost scratch proof. I've been using the batt for 4-5months and it's still perfect.
As for the thickness.. frankly, 14mm is still thinner than most PPCs out there.
Enough of aesthetics.. My phone now lasts >50% longer.. which is good for me. Thats abt 2 days with some MP3s. Used to be low end of every day, which makes no sense coz you know 15-20% batt won't get you through the whole of next day.
My advice is.. get the batt as a long term investment. If you're gonna sell the phone after 6mths, bear with the lousy original batt.
Hi MasK, thanks for the input, it's very helpful.
I think I will probably keep this phone till November or December, because by that time I can get a free phone from my provider, I will just sell that right away and the Diamond to get something new. Yeah the glossy finish is really easy to scratch, right now I've to use a case to protect it.
There is another option that I'm considering, it's the HTC battery bank BB G300. It's sightly more expensive, but I can keep it for future HTC phones or any phones that use the same connector. The only thing is I'm not a huge fan of carrying extra devices on me.
Extended battery
I decided to buy this battery when I one day ran out of battery at 7pm and desperately needed to send an email.
It certainly improved battery life by up to 50% and i don't think it makes the phone uglier. It's only a few mm thicker (i think 3mm) but only the fact that I get two days out of it with hotmail pushed and OWA pushed through emoze and average calling, texting emailing and surfing, should convince you to buy the battery.
The only problem I had was the HTC pouch that came with the phone. When you have the extended battery on, it won't fit your diamond any more, so I had to buy another one (a generic HTC leather pouch).
Hope it helps...
What I don't understand is, why do they only thicken the battery? They could also use the new space above and below the battery (looking straight onto the backside of the Diamond).

I think it's not as simple to produce a battery in some odd shape, they also have to consider about the compatibility with other models.
I got mine last week and it's great.
Mat finis is actually better than glossy - no fingerprints and I think it's going to be more durable in the long run.
As for battery life - now I can use my Diamond normally for two days, I had to charge the normal battery every day.

I just received mine today, I'm glad I went for it.
looks like im gonna have to invest in this battery...
I've decided to go for it, and have orderes the BP E270.
Can anyone recommend some cases that would fit the 3mm fattened diamond?
Thanks,
Dave
Having owned the extended battery (and getting rid of it). I have to say I didn't like at all, the phone just felt wrong. I appreciate it only make the phone a couple of mil thicker but trust me, it wrecks the feel of the phone. If the phone came with the exteneded battery to start of with, I may have been happy with it.
Another problem I had with it, was that the back was always coming loose and sliding forward when I tried to take the phone out of my pocket.
If you are having problems with the power of your phone, then by all means get the extended battery but I'm telling you the extended makes your phone feel like a brick and even worse, makes it feel cheap.
I tend to disagree, the phone feels much better in my hand (my opinion), I liked the thin looks of the phone with the original battery, but I could never hold it properly, it slipped from my hand a couple of times, lucky it fell on the carpet. Now I like it much better, plus having the added benefit of the extra power. At the end of the day, it's a question of choice, some of you might like it, some of you might not, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here.
Mine has arrived, and I really like it. As said earlier, the matte finish is much better, and the small increase in size actually makes it easier/nicer to hold.
Any suggestions on a pouch or case that fits it?
The extended battery is actually the same thickness as the 900mAh battery with a silicon case ;-) Actually I normally use a Tek Sock pouch with my extended battery.. but for now, i just have a screen protector and will try for a few days without a pouch/case.
hi i got mine today its beetter than the old one htc must have done this before n replaced all batterys like nokia did for mathatushita battery which recently got blasted
i got it for RS-3,000 inr< indian national rupee> wat abt others cost

i check the battery status using powerguard and the battery voltage is always around 3.9V to 4V.. and the phone gets heat up v fast.. to more than 39 degree.. is my battery faulty or it is normal for the extended battery to behave like this??

im playing games.. but when using the original 900mAh battery, it wont get so warm.. with the extended battery, when it have around 80% battery left, the voltage is like 4.1V to 4.2V.. which i think is very high.. thats why causing the phone to heat up so much..
can anyone confirm with me that it is normal to get 4.1V to 4.2V when the battery life is more than 70%?? or is my battery faulty?? it will drop to 3.6V to 3.7V when battery life is less than 50%..
I've got mine today... I thinks it looks better than the glossy one and with the extra mAh...
Does anyone found a good case for the new package?
Anyone can help me find an another one battery, seems that it's ran out of stock now !
Would me popping in the HD2 Official Extended Battery brick the AT&T HTC Inspire 4G?
Gonna assume the two battery sizes are the same. Haven't received my Inspire 4G yet. Still in the mail.
I believe when some contacted HTC, they stated that the Inspire/Desire HD battery is not compatible with any other current HTC device.
This is in the wrong section... This should be in accessories...
If you could some how get the battery to fit, I guess it would temporarily brick it seeing as the Inspire's battery has contacts on the side whereas the HD2 battery does not.
Remember, the Inspire has an aluminium unibody design and no genuine extended battery will work with it.

Not likely. If the HD2 extended battery is thicker than the Inspire battery, it wouldn't fit the slot of the Inspire. The battery of the Inspire slides into the body of the Inspire much like an SD card slides in. And the shape of the slot is the size of the OEM battery and no larger.
i have and hd2 (european version) that is no longer working (screen doesnt respoond to touch) and was wondering if anyone has trying putting the original htc hd2 batterry ( not extended battert) in their inspire 4g. due to the fact that i dont what to break my phone, i have not turned it on, but it does fit, really snugly. where the original htc inspire battery just slides out with no effort, the hd2 battery needs to be pulled out to be removed
My wife has a My Touch 4G Slide, and I have a Sensation. I was taking a look at our batteries today, and both our our OEM batteries have the exact same model number, and look and feel exactly the same...with one exception that I could find: the metal contacts on the bottom of the battery are on the opposite side of each battery, relative to the "HTC" logo on the "front" of the battery. If you flip one battery over, so the "small print" is facing up, and the align it with the other battery, I have a hard time telling the difference.
Before I place one of these batteries in the opposite phone and cause the polar ice caps to melt down, can anybody confirm that I can swap these batteries between the phones with no issues?
I'll keep scouring the XDA forums and the rest of the interweb thingies, but I haven't found an answer yet.
Thanks.
I did this going from my old incredible to a g2. I just flipped the battery around, cut the corners down and plugged it in. Worked just fine.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
I'm scared that my hair will fall out, or tsunamis will hit several major cities around the world! Well, maybe not THAT scared.
Make sure the polarities are going the right way.
HTC Sensation, HTC Evo 3D, and HTC MyTouch 4G Slide stock batteries are all interchangeable. The similar-sized extended batteries (the ones that don't require a new back cover) also work too, to my knowledge.
Well the Evo 3D and Sensation batteries are swapable so guess that would me the same for the Sensation and myTouch. I have a sensation and my wife has the MT4G... why would you want to swap?
Edit--- nevermind just realized you said MT4G Slide...
I've switched the 2 batterys with no problems
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
i found a 24oo mhA battery:
http://www.batterybay.net/Battery-for-HTC-myTouch-4G-p/htccs-htm4xl.htm
don't forget to use the coupon codes mentioned on the frontpage (i forgot).
I ordered and hope it will be good .
really love the mugen 1 in my g2, it is hard because of that to switch now
Does someone has this one?
3600mAh Mugen power
At "Special Price" of $104.95 I don't think I would want it. Back cover looks horrible, instead of making a hump they kept the width consistent with a slight curve.
My phone looks smaller with BALLISTIC case on. Battery life is no longer an issue if you have a small charger like below, just keep it in your pocket and charge your phone while it is not in use.
the reason there is no hump like on the HD2, is because the back cover is required to get a signal, due to the contact pins being right there. The back cover isn't a 3 piece back cover, so they can't make a part have a hump, and the rest not.
I have not used this one but I'm currently using their 3300mah for Nexus S...I payed their price and I must tell, they do a good customer support job for the price they ask for it.
Speedtest?
Can anyone shed light on why speedtest had a faster download with the extended battery installed?, is it simply more powerful because I would have thought the power was regulated by the phone itself?
Is it likely to be a better aerial in the back of the Mugen case?
Thanks.
Terry
That thing is ugly
If you have to replace the battery door, how do you expect the antennas to work?
That's... HUGE!
The size is too big, and out of my price range
I have one, it gives me enough power to last until the next morning without a charge. The wifi sucks now since the back doesn't have the metal antenna connectors, but everything else works fine. The back is ugly as hell, but its worth it to be able to last at least a day.

Wifi sucks? Have you asked mugen about this? It's very bad.

The aerial is probably better than the original HTC one, so faster results, they could afford to make it a lot bigger as the back of the phone is a lot bigger
So far so good! Loving my new HTC Beluga!
All kidding aside though... Ditch the skinny Jeans kids, you're killing your sperm!
Thickness is not always bad thing (that's what she said)

Yes, they sent me a new back to the phone, but it didn't fix it. If I switch to the old battery/back then its fine and works great, but with the back they sent me, my range is now severely limited and certain ways of holding the phone drops my signal altogether.
Well a friend of mine is offering a mugen 3600mah(!) battery unopened for 50 euros... that's about half the price I can find it in retail.
I'm still waiting for my Anker batteries, but I'm -seriously- thinking of getting that as well... do you think it's worth the price, will it really get me ~2.5x the battery time I have now (including drain) or I'll end up with roughly 3-4 hours extra?
Just waned to add that Mugen Power has a slim solution that is OEM sized but still gives about 15% juice.
1950mAh

As far as battery size goes, it looks like a perfect fit for the original back. There won't be a bump or need for over-sized back cover.
As far as the mah's of the battery are concerned, I would say there is little to no way that thing is a 2430mah battery. If memory serves me correct, our stock battery is 1550mah. You're not squeezing almost 1000mah of power into that package without making it bigger. I have the Anker 2800mah battery and it comes with the over-sized back cover. It's a great battery, but in my opinion there is no way you're fitting 2430mah into a small form-factor.
