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

Anker 1800mah

Had anybody tried the 1800mah batteries made by anker for the epic?

Hard to search from tapatalk, but I posted my experience on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182278
I'm in the process of RMA'ing one of them. The other is good. Seller has been responsive so far.
EDIT: Seller sent the replacement battery quickly and for free. As with the original battery, turned out it was a non-issue. So, all Anker batteries that I received work well. All batteries have 2011-09 timestamps - fresh.

Can this battery be charged in the phone or does it have to be on an external charger?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

it's not that great. their 1500 is better some how.
it does charge in the phone btw, but it take a long time to charge.

The Ankers worked great for me. I got two plus a charger and now they are all I used. I used to carry two spare stock batteries around just in case. Now these two are it. I'd take two of these over three stock batteries any day, even though I know the math does not add up.
They do charge in the phone, but if I actually have to use the spare, then when I get home I charge one in the charger at the same time the phone charges the other. The phone charges faster than the charger, but maybe slower than it charges the stock battery.
I don't have a good way to test how much charge a battery holds though. Is there an app that tracks battery usage so I'd be able to tell how much more charge one battery has than another?

I bought the Anker 1800mAh batteries and charger for $17 on ebay (maybe cheaper, I don't remember). My wife uses it in her Epic and it easily lasts all day long, no issues. I find it to last almost as long as my stock 1800mAh battery does in my Epic Touch.
No issues with either one, recharging time isn't an issue since it'll last all day and it'll recharge overnight while we're sleeping... Plus that leaves us an 1800mAh and the stock 1500mAh batteries as spares...

I got them from amazon, 2 for $20 with the free charger. I've bought other batteries before but now can't imagine why anyone with an epic wouldn't get these.

I'm pretty happy with, Battery Monitor Widget

Ordered from Amazon
I just ordered the 2x1800 mah Anker batteries plus an external charger for about 27 bucks from Amazon. Can't wait to get them and try them out. I think I might've burned through my stock battery a bit faster than usual because it doesn't seem to hold a charge as well as it did, and I was always flashing ROMs and having to re-calibrate the battery every time.
Curiously enough, the stock battery issue seemed to be more pronounced when I went to EI22 and flashed the ACS ICS "F*** it, we'll do it live" v5.5 ROM
hmm....could be just in my head, though. It's a great ROM.

I just got the 2 Anker 1800mAh batteries with the external charger for $20 plus tax (still under $22 with free 2 day shipping using Amazon Prime).
This was a GREAT deal so far, and it's nice to have 2 spare batteries (one extra 1800 and the stock 1500 I've been using for the past year).
This is a bargain and I recommend anyone who has even thought for a sec about getting a spare battery to pick up this deal.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri...GXR6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323157418&sr=8-1
The only downside I can see so far is that the battery is SLIGHTLY heavier, so the phone feels a little heavier than with the stock battery. I guess it's just physics.
Makes the phone feel more solid.
I had a 100% charge at noon today and so far with pretty heavy use, 12 hours later, I'm at about 44% which isn't bad. In the past I've had to charge in the middle of the day to avoid phone going dead at night.

Wow!! Anker-licious!
So I finally got my (w)Anker batteries in the mail and charged one up. I installed it, immediately booted to ACS Recovery 5 and wiped battery stats, rebooted, and I've been running the phone uninterrupted ever since. This was very early this morning.
So far so good!! Ten + hours and only at 76% after mostly idling, with some moderate Facebooking, Youtubing, and Bluetooth audio streaming thrown in.
Battery fits perfectly in my Epic and zero issues so far.
I wonder how it will behave after the break-in period of 4 to 5 cycles.

I use the anker 1800 in my wife's epic. It consistently gets 3+ hours over the stock. Well worth the $12 and a real upgrade for us as the stock battery would always give up around the 11hr mark and the same use she gets 14+ hrs w the 1800. Around 3 hour screen on time maybe.
Although in my nexus the anker 1600 seems worse than my stock battery. Worth a try but not an upgrade in a nexus.

Sorry bout that last "post" I was taking the back off my phone lol. Anyway, here's a question:
My wife got the Touch not too long ago. Before, she had what I'm using now, the Epic 4g. When she had the 4g, she was getting such crappy battery life that she bought an xtra one. When I adopted the Epic, she didn't want to give up the battery. (Don't ask me why,she's crazy) But she has been holding onto battery, afraid to put it into her SG2. From reading the posts in here, I'm assuming that she can use her xtra battery (1500mAh) in her SG2. Am I right? I'm sure she wont get nearly as long life as the 1800 that's in her phone now, but she could use the 1500 in a pinch couldn't she? (No matter what the answer is, I'm gonna tell her no so she'll pony up the xtra one lol) But just out of curiosity, would the 1500 work in the SG2?
Thanx,
Ridge

That's a shame, I bet she would never have needed the Touch if her Epic was rooted from the start

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.

Thanks for the review, but i prefer my 3500mah which lasts usually 12-16 hours and i hate swapping batteries constantly.

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.

QCell SkyRocket 3850mAh Extended Battery

with stock battery, i've been getting extremely horrible battery life around 6 hours maximum with tethering. I think most people using this phone in this forum is getting the same problem
Went to amazon.com and found a 3850mAh Extended Battery for Skyrocket made by QCell. It have the highest mAh rating among all other manufacturers.
Product arrive 1 day from purchase. The seller seems to ship out pretty quick. I charge the battery for 8 hours prior to use and now with this battery, I can last full day without charge.
The cover that comes with the battery is in reflective black. Matches quite nicely to the phone.

Wish the back wasn't so blocky. Hope OP puts up some pics of his use of this.

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?

Best aftermarket battery?

Hello
Im going to put a larger capacity battery in my Desire Z and I wanted some recommendations. Also, normal sizes (as in demensions); None that come with a additional cover to compensate for the normal size this making the phone bigger.

Ankers 1600mAh, lasts for me more than 2 days between charges. Got mine for a fiver off eBay, brand new.

Hi,
I'll also went with the Anker. 2 Days without charging even when using custom roms... Definetely a good choice for this Price!

riahc3, if you ask for advice, don't argue about there being higher capacity batteries, if you want the mugen go get it, but if you asked advice in the first place then don't get annoyed when people don't give you the answer you want to hear. Sorry, that's just the way I see it.
If you're after numbers rather than advice, take both. Look at my screenies, yeah I know I'm a light user, under clocked and had a sneaky charge in between but this was on CM10.1 build 15 which supposedly has battery problems, and as you can see I listened to music for a couple of hours as well. Also everyone else here has gotten at least 2 days between charge with Ankers.

battery info
I am also thinking about buying a new battery but I think that it doesn't matter how much mAh of the battery has. I think that real question is how will be after 6 months of usage. Most of these aftermarket batteries are start good but after few weeks or months they become useless. So we need real user feedback. Is there anyone who uses any of the aftermarket battery more than few months?
I've started to use JellyBaby v1.5 ROM and I've decided to buy new battery instead of new device.

I've been using the Mugen battery for over two years now. Still get good battery life, although playing games drains it pretty fast. I can last two full days if I try, but it's pushing it. One day is easy.

2 day is sufficient

I've been using the Mugen battery for over two years now. Still get good battery life, although playing games drains it pretty fast. I can last two full days if I try, but it's pushing it. One day is easy.

I don't know about battery life of iPhone 5, S3, Note2, etc but I think that under normal circumstances battery life of our phones should be 2 days.
Do you use home-screen widget or lock screen widget? Does they have any effect on battery life?

aftermarket battery? you're better off getting a oem, a lot of aftermarkets don't live up to the levels they advertise.
I recommend the evo 4g design battery, it fits perfect in our devices at a whopping 1520 mah compared to stock's 1300mah

A 200 mah difference wont matter
But 3 times stock mah means something

Mugen
Hi,
I had the Seidio one which was good and lasted for more than 1.5 years. Now I have the Mugen one and feel like it's gettimng worse after only 8 months.
