Anyone bough both the Anker and Chichi batteries for their Sensation?

I don't know which one to get, so based on your experiences, were they worth it?
Has anyone bought both and gotten better performance on one more than the other? Has anyone gotten either of these and actually have had equal or less battery life compared to the stock battery?
thanks for any helpful replies!

I'm wondering about this too. Judging from threads from both brands, alot of people are getting the anker as they are cheaper. But according to some users who have used chichi are saying they last long and have had great experiences with them despite being $20+. Any one else can chime in?

Yeahh. I had a chichi battery for my G2 and it worked wonders so Im leaning more towards it.

I bought both...figure I could use one for a back up if anything but both seem to be getting good reviews..the CHI is on the 2nd cycle, i got 10 1/2 1st one under heavy usage would only get about 8 hr at most under heavy with the stock.
2nd cycle i was at 14 hrs under semi heavy usage, before I feel asleep when I woke up it was dead so not sure how long it actually lasted.
3rd cycle starting today..
The Anker is in the mail so hopefully it will arrive soonL
Having both I would prob go with the Anker since its cheaper and the reviews have been very good as well, I purchased the ChiChi when the Anker was 60 now that its back to $10 I would just go with those
Either way I'll post a comparison when I get both although I don't think there will be a huge noticeable difference, seems like both are excellent batteries

I just won two chichi batteries + charger for $15 at Ebay. what a good deal.
will test once i receive them.

I feel like there won't be much difference either, but I'd still absolutely love it if you could give some side-by-side specs.
Also, one nagging question from the Anker thread, if you have access to a scale, would you be able to compare weights between the stock, Chichitech, and Anker?

subed, also want to find out what the life difference between the 2. But i don't think you can go wrong with either one right? because they both will last longer than the htc one...

Will weigh both ,I have a scale...just not sure if I can find it, didnt come in the mail today hopefully tomorrow or mon which will let me fully cycle the ChiChi ones

My chichitec lasted 25 hours first charge with moderate usage. Not heavy, but definitely not light usage. Moderate till about 6pm then heavy till around 11pm. Then it was in standby the rest of the night. The stock battery would have never come close. I ordered an Anker too since it was only 9.50. Waiting on that and my battery charger dock still. Got the battery and used the phone for a few hours without charging it. Started at 70 got down to around 30. Then I turned my phone off and charged it for about 7 hours. Got up at 6am, unplugged and turned it on. Lasted all day and all night and died around 730 the next morning.charged it for about 3 hours on my laptop at work today till it was full with it on. Going to let it drain completely again on this charge. Stoked.

Can anyone post a link for these batteries, tried searching didn't come up with any results thanks in advance

I have both on the way. Waiting on slow shipping heheh. I'll let you know!

Is there a need to peel off the sticker for Chichitec ?? I remember having to do this for my G2 and it had to chip lil bits of the plastic off for it to fit and not bulge out lol

Extended Battery Mugan Power 3600 mAh

Has anyone ordered/tried this battery yet? It seems super bulky but I need something that'll at least get me 24 hours of life and I don't think the 1800 one will do it.

You can get a coupe of stock batteries plus an external charger for about 10 bucks on ebay, I dunno why you would wanna spend $100 on that thing, the added bulk and weight on an already big device would suck ass

I don't know, it just seems like a pain to carry all these extra things. We'll see though. @[email protected]

I'll probably check this out. I've owned some truly bulky Sidekicks and never sweated the weight or bulk.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

I was thinking of ordering one of these, anyone tried it out yet? Is it worth buying?

Yes. Have one.
Weighs about the same as a Sidekick LX and the device is now about the same thickness as a Sidekick 2/3. If either of those things make you feel uncomfortable, the battery isn't for you.
Shipping from Hong Kong takes forever and I have heard rumors of spotty quality control down at Mugen. There are some people around the forums that have had to return defective batteries. (My guess is that it is not a pleasant place to work and the hours are long. So, be patient.) With that said, I'm happy to report no problems so far.
After a few charges, you will start to see the benefits of the extra juice. Don't bother trying to calibrate the battery yourself, I have found that deleting the battery stat file actually makes the device expect the stock battery. All you can do is follow the instructions that come with your battery.
The extra capacity is nice and I don't mind the extra bulk. You'll have to decide if the trade off is worth it. Good luck.

orange808, how much longer does your battery last now? xmeatismurderx, links for extra batteries and charger on ebay?

ive had it for a few months, i love it i airbrushed the case to match my phone and depending on rom/usage/other facotrs i can easily go for 1 day one weekend i went for 36 hrs with light use and juice defender on and it still had some juice left

Sorry about the late reply..
With moderate use, I have to charge my phone every other day right now. 36 hours is about right for general use.
Heavy or constant use is about 10-12 hours. The display seems to eat the most battery, so this applies to just about any tasks that I do on the device.
My results may not refect what you would get. I have removed all of the built in T-Mo and Zipwip software. I use Voodoo sound on top of the stock kernel (no V6SC mod). I use Green Power to manage my data.
Hope this helps.

I have the 1800mAh battery in my Sidekick. It was just the bump that my device needed. I can go a full day easily doing what I need to do. I'm running Glorious Overdose V1 as my ROM and am using K9 Email with IMAP IDLE enabled which is a battery hog IMO but I need my push email. The nice things about the 1800 versus the larger batteries are a lower price and it fits inside the stock cover.

yeah the 1800 wouldnt have been enough for me, but the stock cover would have been nice

which 1800 did you purchase? the Mugen or a generic?

IMO don't buy that bulky battery just install the new rubix xcel rom for the phone make a battery calibration than lower the brightness and voila your battery last much longer.

I have the mugen power 3600 mah battery in my phone. Probably the best investment i've ever made since the 2400 mah battery on my old G1. It lasts me through the ENTIRE day on 3G (I never saw the 4G icon btw. probably because of where i live)
I leave for work at around 8AM, drive to college at 4PM, and drive back home at 8PM. on all trips (30-45 mins), I listen to online MP3 streams on 3G. At work and college, I check twitter, gtalk, G+ messenger, email, and some light browsing.
i hit 15% battery at around 1 AM or so. I never felt so careless about charging my phone
EDIT: also, the fat battery cover makes the phone feel far more ergonomic than with the stock battery cover. the size feels just natural for my hands.

i know only use mine on weekend trips, day to day i use the stock batt at the office because its plugged into the computer anyhow

anyone who has the 1800 mah battery, which one did you buy? i bought replacement batteries off ebay, they were super cheap- 2 1800 mah batteries plus external charger for 11 bucks. if i charge em up in the external charger and put em in the device they work fine, but anytime i try to plug the phone in, either to a wall charger or usb, the phone goes dead... completely dead, and i have to unplug, pull the battery and reboot. has anyone experienced this? i guess i got what i paid for
edit: i'm guessing people got the Mugen 1800, i see it now on ebay for around $44.

I changed to the new rage 3.6 time and my battery lasts twice as long

Don't get em, haha. The battery life on them seemed even less than the stock 1500 mah! Plus the flaw I mentioned about the phone shutting down when plugged in with those batteries. I've had some good luck at times with cheap replacement batteries, but that particular set was a real flop. For reference, I think it was $8.99 for 3 batteries + ext. charger.... avoid!

Seems like a good investment if you tend to use your device like a computer. But for me, it'd be pointless.

Looks sketchy, I've only seen a 1900mah battery on ebay and even then it was probably an exaggeration. It's only six bucks w/ free shipping, take one for the team, try it out and let us know

Looks really interesting... Im curious, 6 bucks wont hurt to hopefully finding the cure this phone dying fast!!

Never heard of it before now. I love my girl too much to drop a new battery in her like that.
Incipio has a battery extender for $60. I *may* go that route if I start having significant batt problems.
Let me know how the 2200 turns out though.
Sent from my SGH-I997

I already took two of these for the team. So far I only intended them as back ups. When I did use one it was right after a rom flash and while I did not see any better battery time, I also didn't see any worse. I plan on running one this week now that my battery use is more settled. FWIW, they do feel heavier in your hand.....how much should a MaH weigh anyway?

as long as this 2200mah provides similar or better than original Samsung 1750mah I will buy one as backup.

I was actually debating between that one and the 1900mah http://www.ebay.com/itm/160632602166?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I went with the 1900mah, mainly because I didn't want to wait for this to come from Hong Kong. I noticed the 1900 lasts about an hour to hour and a half more than stock battery with the Infused ROM. When I first flashed Infused it was seriously drained both stock and the 1900 in less than 5 hours. Once it settled I got about 7.5 to 8 hours out of it on the 1900. I never had a ROM needing to settle so much, but I guess that was part of it. One thing I did notice is that 1900 charged noticeably faster than stock.

I went with this one. I will report back once I get it on my hands.

You can get a 2 pack + battery charger on amazon for $14. They are branded as "hyperion". They are 1800s and I get great battery life with them.

What Roms are you guys running.
I am running the Doctorz V8 Rom, and even with watching several episodes of Futurama on Netflix, with Pandora while patrolling, I still get 15 hours + on my phone.
Stock battery too.

Miui ftw. Doctorz gave me the worst experience out of all the roms I tried. I typically get 27ish hours on this rom with no mods or battery savers. That is with a LOT of sms, some mms, some phone calls, plenty of pandora, and the occasional photos. When I use my phone heavily I get 15+ hours. That's heavy phone usage, lots of games, etc.

where to get it online ???

I just bought Anker brand batteries for my Captivate and it works great. Get at least 30% more life than oem and it was only $20 for 2 with a charger. Was contemplating getting their battery for my wifes Infuse. It's only $12.99. I'd definitely look at it if you want more battery life for a low cost.

1800 mAh batteries from Hyperion

Ive had these batteries for about a month and a half. For $20 you get two batteries and a wall charger. Not a bad deal for two batteries that are supposed to last longer than stock however, they do not last longer than stock. I get about 20% less time out of these batteries than my stock LG. I don't regret my purchase though because they are still useful in the sense that you don't have to ever plug your phone in, you can just swap out batteries... all in all not a bad deal for what you get you're just not getting what they advertised which is more time on a single battery.

I get like 15 hours of good usage (for me atleast) with the stock battery

Battery life varies on everyone man, i got about 3-4 hours on stock battery with 600 apps installed. 3500mah i get 12-16 i'm content with that. Doubt you would get the same battery life if you used your G2x like i did ;-)

Yeah I don't really like swapping batteries constantly either. I've just been using stock batt. and keep the 3rd partied "just in case". I would like to use extended batteries but I dont like having the huge back. Hopefully someone will make a Li-Po for this phone.

I'm still quite surprised as to how you get less battery life with this battery thank with stock. Still, $20 for two batteries and a charger is a pretty good deal. I think I'll go for it, too.

Stock battery is usually as advertised for mah (1500), while aftermarket ones generally overstate their capacity. I have the andida 1980mah one and it's not much better than stock. It's not a dud either though, so I'm pretty happy with it.

I make it through the day on stock. That's what matters to me. So anywhere from 9-24+ hours, depending on the day. Except on slow days at work, then I might have to charge halfway through my shift, but there's always outlets available at work.

After installing weapon g2x with faux kernel and setting my max cpu speed to 503mhz, I'm averaging 30 + hours on stock, though that is very limited use. And if I turn wifi on its just starts draining....

I have had the hyperion batteries for about 3 months. They are decent but they lose capacity fast. Meaning they hold less and less over time. But at least they work i guess.

It's better idea to buy 3 pack of knock off batteries with charger on Ebay for $10. That's what i've done and i've had the batteries for 2 months now.. The knock off batteries last about 80-90% as long as the original. I always keep two charged and swap them whenever needed and bam back to 100% and no oversized backing in which no case can fit

I got those and they worked ok. Don't last as long as the OEM but you have an option of switching the batteries when waiting for the other to charge. They take a long time to charge from 0 to 100%. Still a better alternative than getting stuck with 1 battery. For me they last about 4 hours with listening to the radio on LTE and with everything else running in the background. This phone does suck a lot of juice.

Sounds like its not even close to 3800mah, or even 1800mah. Cheap batteries are notorious for overstating their actual capacity.

If u guys read what I wrote you would only have to spend $10 and get 3 batteries along with charger.. One of the batteries lasts a decent amount of time. I've been running on the Ebay battery since 6am and its now 152 pm. And I'm at 30% with decent data usage. I got my stock battery fully charged and ready to go for when I run out.. And I have the other two batteries as back ups if one of the batteries decides to fail. That beats having an oversized backing anyday

It depends on whether you carry a briefcase , are around a single place regularly, or have neither apply to you. I'm all over the place without a bag daily, so batteries in the pockets makes no sense.

Looked at extended batteries but didn't want to add thickness. Found an external battery pack (8400mAh) that works great, especially since I use a tablet. Gotta carry an extra device, but that works for me. Can get smaller capacity for about 1/2 the price of the one I got.
Can't post links since I'm a noob . Search Amazon for Anker external battery pack.

Finally had a chance to run this battery through its passes the last few days.
Let me describe my day.
I run an IT shop so I get lots of status, info, newsletter etc emails throughout the day. In addition I get text messages regularly, email on my gmail account, facebook updates and hourly twitter updates via plume.
So my phone comes off the charger around 7am(on home wifi), I start dealing with work emails at that time.
I do a commute of about 40-45 min where I'll listen to music that is stored on my phone pipe through my cars audio system in the morning. Get to work(go back to wwifi), then the phone will be on on sound notification for text and work email throughout the daily. I also run NoLED for notification.
Lunch time I'll come off wifi as I head out but I'll the phone will see increase usage as I'll browse various apps, play a few games, etc.
Back to just status notifications for the rest of the work day(back on wifi), then an evening commute home listening to music again, and back on wifi at home.
With that in my the stock battery will start at 100% and by the end of the day as I get in my car to head home be at about 15%-17%.
Yesterday the extended battery was at 45% when I got in the car, and by about 10:30pm was still at about 15%.
Today I didn't use my phone as much today (limiting it to mostly status updates which still come regularly) and my phone right now is at 65%.
This will work for me. I really only have an extended battery for periods where I'm not going to be near a charger... basically a day when I know I'm going to be out and about, as oppose to at work or in my car.
So with that being said I'm happy with the purchase.
edit: I also own an Energizer XP18000 which I can use to charge my phone and my Xoom 4G tablet that will come in to play when I head out on business trips for IT conferences.

So, you're gettng a 30% increase from a supposed 1950mah increase in battery capacity over the 1850 mah stock. That sounds like a 2400mah battery rather than a 3800mah battery.

My testing was very unscientific and this is really only the first day of usage. I vaguely remember that with many of these batteries folks have commented that the increase gains fairly quickly over a short period of usage/recharging?
