[Q] Need help chosing a battery. - HTC Sensation

Hey guys, I'm in need of upgrading my battery for my sensation 4G. I currently have the Anker 1900mah (really around 1700 mah) and was wondering if I would see a significant improvement if I purchase either the chichitec 1930mah or the Mugen 1950mah batteries for HTC evo 3D (Since they both are compatible with sensation). Currently the price for the mugen battery is really putting me off but if someone already proved that it performs as well as its advertised, I don't mind making this investment. Thanks for the help!

I had exactly the same dilemma as you, now using the Anker which is good but not great, and looking for a better one.
The review I found HERE convinced me to buy the mugen, just haven't received it yet but I'll post a review when I finally have it!
Good luck with your choice!

Hey atticus182, thanks for your reply, I'll be looking forward to your review. The thing with mugen is that i'm also kind of scared off by the review performed at batteryboss.org. Deep down I'm hoping this is an isolated case but we'll just let the tests do the talking.

[Q] Will the sensation get an extended battery released?

Does anyone know if HTC will release an extended battery with replacement back cover for the sensation? Or perhaps something produced by another company like Mugen or Seindo? I have the US HD2, which works fantastic in the UK on Vodafone by the way, and I have the extended battery for it and in my opinion makes all the difference. I've had a good look online, htc, ebay, etc but no success.
Most probably
If you have a look around at almost any of the older models they have extended batteries available. The Sensation has only just been released in UK and is being rolled out worldwide. Wait until china gets their hands on it (June 8th) I believe and then wait for the HTC "alternatives" to be released
The antenna is in the back case so i doubt it.
Yeah I was thinking the same when I read about the antenna being in the back casing.
We never saw a extended battery on the DHD due to how the back was. The HD2 had a nice one which had a kick stand built in.
I would like to see one for the Sensation but that might well be difficult to manufacture and probably would be expensive too because they are putting components like the antenna in the casing.

Who is this response from?
Jan from Mugen. I can't add the links that were signed at the end of the email because I don't have up to 8 posts..or sth like that is what the error message said...*shrugs*
I sent them an email on Friday, I believe and they replied yesterday.
Just get a Anker or CHICHITEC 1900 MAH battery, my CHICHITEC lasts more than a day.
Further Update:-( I asked about the possible capacity and if there might be a protective case that will work with the phone after extended battery is inserted).
Dear [....],
Thank you for your email!
The larger size should be over 3000mAh, I don't think we will work on the protective case for this model, I need to ask our marketing team!
Because our holster sales not really good, so we only have 3 models for the holster at the moment!
Please contact me if you need any additional info.

Jan

Thanks for the info. I have to admit it looks great. But for the price of 105 US$ I will wait for some test to read and stick with the Anker 1900 I ordered.

I would have waited, I got a 2300mah generic for around $30 on eBay pretty dece, but really excited for the bigger battery, I know 105 is steep, but previous experience with mugen leads me to believe that it would still be well worth it, but that's my opinion

Yikes, what a MONSTER! That would be so nice to just abuse the bejeezus out of your phone all day without being able to kill it lol. I mean, with a battery of that size you could be a 4g hotspot for someone and game on the device itself all day I bet.

Mugen Power 1800 mAh battery for sensation

Hi!
A real and good battery is arrived!!!
Look at Mugen!
I think it will better than all stuff that you can find on ebay......
Wondering how long it will last since it's only 300mAh more then the original battery. Think you'll still have to charge overnight.
But can't wait for your results
You can buy a Htc evo 3d standard battery too, it's same size,and 3,7v too.
You must just return the battery and hyde the "htc"....
Just pre order, expeded on 22 july!!!!
But mugen power has a very good reputation!
And i waited this model before to buy a simply chinese product....
The new update ROM will improve the charging time,but i must to wait because mine sensation is not unbranded.....

I was wondering if you think it will be better to put the upcoming seido 1900 designed for the HTC Evo 3D into a HTC Sensation. From the imagery it seems to be the correct voltage and on other XDA posts they do say the Evo 3d battery fits in the Sensation. If anybody has any thoughts or review data about Seido v Mugen can you share them please.
p.s. I can't post the Seido link but it is under HTC Evo 3d accessories

Better quality? And what are you basing this on? I had both the Seidio and the chichitec for my Incredible. I would never, ever pay full price for that Seidio crap. Did it last longer than OEM? Slightly. Chichitec lasted longer and was about a third of the price. JMHO.

Choose Anker, actually,they all have a same capacity in same battery size.Anker do the best in long term performance, and it's the cheapest one as well
I just got my Sensation about 2 weeks ago and immediately ordered an Anker. I've been using that for about a week. It seems to stay a little cooler and last a little longer, nothing major. Then again, the cost is pretty minor so I say jump on it! If that's not good enough, there is the big mack daddy from Mugen (3600?) with the extended case of course.

[Q] Mugen VS Anker

Hello Guys,
My question is which battery is the best - Anker 1900 mAh (which actually proved to be around 1700 mAh) or Mugen Power 1950 mAh for Sensation/EVO 3D (not sure of the capacity is real). I have tried to find which battery is the best (even read the entire Anker thread) but I was unable to get a definite answer. I could see that Mugen is twice the money of Anker but it is coming from a well known company and also has temperature sensor. However Anker is a lot cheaper and provides good enough juice for its 15 bucks.
My HTC Sensation costs around $500 so I wouldn't mind giving $40 more for the Mugen battery but if the performance is small compared to the Anker battery I would prefer the latest.
So my question is which one is the best and have anyone tested both of them?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
I am in the same predicament, been investigating the topic for a while now and... I guess they're very much alike - you won't find many (if any) people that bought Anker and swapped it for Mugen or vice versa.
The main thing is lack of disappointed people, can't see valid complaints against any of them, therefore my choice will be Anker - just because I a greedy bastard...
I have both and have used both for some time and I can say that the Mugen definately performes better than the Anker. Roughly I'd say that the Anker gives me 10% extra time over the original and the Mugen 25%, yeah it's really that good.
Downside is of course the price, but if you have some money, do buy the Mugen
Thank you atticus182. So it seems that Mugen is significantly better than Anker. Just in case I submitted a ticket with Mugen asking if I could return the battery if it proves to be with less capacity than 1950 mAh. Will let you know when they reply.
DaHorse: If Mugen prove to be real 1950 mAh then the price is justified but I guess I will just have to check it by myself.
Meanwhile if there are other forum members that have tested both batteries?
you can check out this thread to see people's performance in regards to the Mugen battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220518
It seems like its pretty definitive that the Mugen will indeed outperform the Anker. the problem is their store is out of stock until december 9th so you can't even get it for a reasonable price until at least then. Also, don't forget about the review done at batteryboss.org in which the reviewer showed that they might not be as great of a brand name as you thought.
As said, my vote goes to the Mugen.
Darn it, just ordered an Anker... Maybe give it a try and then buy the Mugen half december to compare. Didn't spot the Mugen topic btw.
I vouch for mugen too. Mines (htc evo 3d 1950mah) lasts almost a full day on heavy use. Plus the temp sensors work unlike anker.
I have the Mugen and am very happy with it. I used to get home from work with 40 - 45% battery left on stock. Now with the Mugen I have 60 - 65% left

For me there is no real question...I don't know what is Anker...just saw a lot of spamming everywhere on how cheap and cool it is.
I know that I'm a Mugen fan for their quality, service and social presence. When it comes to performance - I'm using Mugen 3300mAh for a year already on my Nexus S and know at least two people with HTC phones who cannot live without their batteries. I don't mind giving extra 30-40$ for good quality, support, warranty and facebook presence for such a niche brand. Mugen rocks!
I already have the Anker and am pretty happy with it but I'm considering getting the Mugen as well. Can't decide though..

Lol if anything your post sounds more like spam. I know mugen is a good brand obviously, but the anker thread is 120+ pages for a reason. not just spam.
also, why do you care about a brand's "social presence"?
Hello my friends,
sorry for my question here but i wouldn´t like to open a new thread for my question.
Also, who can i buy a original Mugen Accu for my Sensation. My original HTC Accu have enough power for me but i like a little bit more and i think Mugen is the best way or does the anker pass to me better?
Yours sincerely
BS
PS: Sorry i´m not so good in english

There is no app for that. You need hardware to check the power of the battery.

what about Chichitec? $20 on amazon
I think Chichitec and Anker are almost the same in performance. I'd go for Anker because of its lower price.
I just shelled out for a Mugen battery. Why did I go for Mugen over Anker? Well, the reason is a bit lame, but I just don't feel right buying that sort of thing from (and only from) eBay, of all places...
both types are made in same factory in china?

Suggestion request: battery for our phones.

In Android General is a thread talking about battery life... I recommend reading it.
I started a new thread to ask averyone if you, owners of a Desire S, have bougth a better battery on ebay or amazon or a site like that, and if it worth the price.
In example, I found a battery on Ebay that has (the seller says it has) 2430MAh, search for it because I cannot link pages yet.
Can anyone suggest me/us?
2430=fake
you have 2 options that are known as good ones
1) anker-
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anker-1600m...6?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aae657046#shId
2) mugen power, more reliable, i think that quality is better, 1800, but costs much more (search for coupons, 10-15% off can be found all the time)
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...-extended-battery-for-htc-desire-s-s510e.html
I'll aggree with what Tik_Tak suggested and while being a person that, when it comes to my cell phone, always does a good research I'd say that Anker batteries are an awesome value for money.
On the other hand the Mugen batteries are known, from what I've found in several forums, to be better in quality and they have a larger capacity.
Personally I ordered a Mugen last week and by the end of the next week I'll have it in my hands.
Ok guys, thnxs for the quick replies. I also thought that 2430 should be fake, but then I saw 90+ sells, thats why I post that.
This can also to be an advice for other owners.
I will ask another thing, if anyone know the answer: why haven't the industry improved the batteries of our phones? I mean, why not create batteries of 2000+MAh? that will only be translated in the size of our phones, just some milimeters more, isn't it?
PS: thanks @Tik_Tak for the links, really helped me.
Check out the Desire S accessories forum.
I opened a thread regarding the 1600mah Mugen battery.
