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

hi all,
i've just bought this battery:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2200MAh-Extende...yZ130790QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
as soon as it arrives, i'll post some pics & impressions
if anyone has the same battery, please tell us how it performs!
greets
i'm a little concerned about the cover (as displayed in the picture) and how it covers the camera. i'll be interested in how that back cover fits. look forward to the pics...
Just arrived!
Extended Battery arrived today!
Looks good at first sight some use will tell if it's really good.
comes in a nice package, battery is sink wrapped itself (nice touch) and shows an hologram. back cover fits well, there's no slop. Thickness raises a bit, quite acceptable for a trade of longer run time Actually trinity don't feel bad in hand with extended cover..
it come with 60% remaining charge. I'll charge overnight whis evening..
here's some pics!
here's some other...
thanks for the pics... can you take a couple more pics looking from the top and bottom of your Trinity while face (screen) down? it appears to me that the new cover has nicely rounded contours and does not distract from the devices' overall appearance. thanks again.

Thanks for the great pics. Please let us know about the practical battery perfromance, compared to the stock 1500.
When testing various batteries made for Prophet, I found that the extended time batteries "leaked" faster than stock.
Can you install the BatteryStatus cab & let us see the comparison?
Thanks.
@dave: color matches my black trinity
@cortezzi: sorry, i couldn't make any pics with my digital camera, maybe next days i'll have some time to do them
@deviluck: since now, i used my trinity in many ways (pda, internet sharing, etc) so since i don't have a "regular" usage pattern, i can't tell exactly and scientifically how this battery performs. I could tell you my feeling about it, instead. I can tell that it lasts about 30% longer than original battery and it get less warm when using "connection sharing", the most battery demanding app i use. Actually, when i got new battery i also installed WM6 and since then i noticed battery stays much cooler with conn.sharing (this effect is also with the standard battery, so this effect is somewhat doubled by new battery and WM6).
Discharge curve seems to be more regular, while the original stays "full" (80-90%) region then it jump to "empty" region (30-20%) quite fast, this extended one seems to stay also in the middle region more time, showing a more "linear" discharge. Also, i can still use the famous silicon cover, it enlarges a bit but still usable
I think i'm still breaking in, so maybe performance will increase still a bit.
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.

Can anyone recommend some cases that would fit the 3mm fattened diamond?
Thanks,

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
just got mine yesterday.. however mine is the white colour version.. so still have the glossy back cover..
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 !
i'm currently looking at this battery:
(image links to ebay)
which seems like a nice cheap battery for extending my phone's battery life.
i'd like to know other people's experiences with this battery though before buying it.
some questions:
battery:
does this battery interfere with GPS like some extended batteries for the original diamond do?
does this battery really noticably increase battery life?
has anyone been able to check if this battery has any negatives with long term use?(phone damage, or large reduction in battery life after active use)
is battery charge properly displayed?
cover:
is it made of good material?
the camera opening: can you feel a hole or is there a smooth transparent cover at the same hight as the rest of the cover?
does it fit properly?
unfortunately all quality related info i could find was from webshops selling this battery, and from the manufacturer itself, which isn't really a reliable source.
EDIT: if you know a better/smaller battery, please tell me.
I got this battery just over a week ago. Figured it was so cheap it was low risk. I'll try and answer your questions.
GPS was affected. It still worked but took a long time to get a fix. I applied the silver foil fix in this thread and now it is just as good as with original battery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4341412#post4341412
Battery life is massively increased. I had stopped using my phone coz it wouldn't last a day. Now I can use GPS for a couple of hours and do some browsing with power left at end of day. So far I have never run out but I still charge everyday because it has been quite low a few times.
Can't speak about long term use
Battery charge seems to be properly displayed.
The cover is not brilliant. It fits but it is a bit creaky. It's just about ok.
The camera opening is just a hole. There is no cover for the lens. It's unlikely to get scratched as it is a deep hole but dust does collect in it.
I feel it was a good investment and I am glad I bought it.
thanks for the info.
i think i'd rather go for a good standard-size battery though.
i really don't like the idea of having a hole for the camera.

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.

Ok today i got my zerolemon samsung galaxy s5 7500mah battery, all i got to say is that thing is big and bad, the one thing i really don't like is the way the tpu case fits a bit loose around my phone, for those wondering about the heart rate monitor it is easy to use since your finger lands on the sensor, the phone don't weigh too much as i thought it will, but i will post more after the first charge cycle
My brother had one of these on his s4, and it reminded me of this image. I just don't get it. If you manage your device and ensure that you disable unused applications and services then you can easily get a day of use. Tripling the size of the phone vs. tweaking what it actually does. To each their own, either way thank you for the review, I'm sure that the case fit issue is valuable information for those who are looking at these as a purchase option.

Depends on usage. I use mine all the time for work and I can barely get through a day without needing some extra juice. So if you are one that NEEDS an extra battery like this its perfect.
I loved mine for the s3. The case felt a little loose on it but i still got used to it. I am concerned by the last of waterproofing but if the battery performs will probably get one. Please let us know asap how it performs.

I love the 10000mah version for my note3, Does well when I go on my 3-4 day camping hikes, I like the way it feels in my hand, Still waiting to receive my battery for the S5, You got yours early! I preordered mine 2 weeks ago.
Just ordered mine today (Going to have to wait to it ships to the UK though) loved the S3 version. Never went wrong with anything zerolemon
Already sold out on amazon.com I think
That's a little overkill, don't you think? Even heavy smartphone users get a day's (10-12 hours) of use out of their phone. I mean that big of a battery would seriously get annoying to me. Turn your brightness down man.
I get about 8hrs regular battery, even with 25% brightness. Power users we are and that juice is what it keep us away from being attached to a charger... Attached to a wire.
I got my pre-order on the 16th, And I'm returning it, I'm hoping I got a defective case & battery.
Case doesn't seem to hold battery in that well, I can knock the back of the case and the phone will reboot or shut off completely.
The case seems very loose along the sides as well, I think due to them packing the box and & battery inside of the case while shipping which seemed to stretch the case out a bit making it loose on the sides.
I'm going to ask for a replacement, if it's the same issues on the next one I'm asking for a refund.
any update robert ?

I had this battery for the S3, I loved it. However I don't want to lose the waterproofing on the S5, and I think the case is ugly this time around..
Anyway after rooting and installing the Infinity ROM, I get 2 days of moderate use out of the stock battery..
So for the $50 price of that battery, I instead bought the 18600mah Zerolemon Juicebox.. Same price, 2 1/2 times more power..
I can charge my phone 7 times without having to recharge the Juicebox.. It also charges 2 phones while charging the Juicebox at the same time, most battery packs can't do that.. Plus with the USB 3.0 cable, it charges my phone from dead in 90 minutes..
I have a bag on me at all times, so carrying it around is no biggie.. It's the size of my phone..
http://goo.gl/XVObHn
p.s. - They should pay me for this lol.. but yea, I'm happy
Got mine of Friday last week.
Followed the instructions to charge if without disturbance for twelve hours before using. I am at sixty percent now and am beginning to think it will last me one week per charge. I stream pandora when in car with bluetooth, play games, surf internet, check all emails once an hour, update facebook three times a day, send texts and receive calls about three or four an hour, cast netflix and youtube, update weather once every hour, keep screen on auto brightness, never turn off wifi, etc. Unreal performance from this battery. I'm actually looking forward to using a charger! But they say do not do it until the phone reaches 2 percent. So I wait.... The case does seem a little loose to me and I don't really care for the style, but aesthetics aside, a real good bang for the buck!!!! I would highly recommend for anyone who would actually like a real uncorded phone that can be used for a good week at a time without worrying about a charger cable and what not. :good:
So on my first use I was able to use the phone with heavy use, WiFi always on, Bluetooth on in car, Pandora streaming with screen on, emails checked every 2 hours, Weather updated every two hours, Games like spades, hearts, some other graphically intense ones, Calls and SMS, some pictures and web surfing total time to 2%: 5 days, 22 hours, 56 minutes, 59 seconds. The owner of ZeroLemon said that they will be sending me a better case as soon as they get them and hope that it will fit the phone a little better, however even though the case I have is a little mushy, it does stay on. Very easy to remove which could be a good or bad thing depending how you look at it. So far I would rate the battery with a five star and the case with a two. Definitely like not having to plug the phone in every night and everytime I'm in the car.
I'll receive mine soon. I can't wait to see how it will goes. On previous phone I bought mugen one which are X2 more expensive than this one.
It's good to know they'll replace the case.

Wonder if the "looseness" is a problem with the first batch of cases? I had a ZL on a Note 2 and the tpu was perfect, never gave any signs it would easily come off. I'm getting a S5 just to have a ZL, hope they fix this issue.
