[Q] anker battery?

hey guys. After having the sensation for about three months i got pretty much sick and tired of the battery life and so i searched up and found an anker 1900 mah battery, do you guys think that it is actually worth buying it? I also heard from a friend that it reduces the overheating issue that the phone has, can anybody confirm this to be true?

Try to look around.... Anker battery topic has a lot of replies... You just need to open sensation accessories... Because battery is accessory....
Go on try, open... Its right there on the first page....

It's really work for me, but it's actually about 1830-1850 mah not 1900 mah as it state on a label.

Picked one up off Ebay and it's great. I can go a few extra hours compared to stock battery. Worth it for me.

so far after reading the reviews anker battery has got lots of positive reviews but unfortunately the price of the battery in malaysia is double so i opt for sunglobal 1850mah... http://www.sunglobal.com.my/enlarge.asp?id=93.... so far works fine for me for around 15 to 25 hours..

This is an interesting topic for me too. There are several brands offering batteries with extended capacity. Do you think that they are all the same, or Anker is the best?

Will rreplacig my stock sensation battery for the anker 1900 one reduce overheating

No. The battery is only part of the issue, your processor generates more heat.
For those thinking the Anker solves temperature issues, it doesn't have a temperature sensor included so always reports 25c no matter how hot or cold it gets.

Anker is 1900 mAh, and I saw another aftermarket batt on eBay listing 2450 mAh capacity.
Its easy to print a label with a higher capacity rating, so my question is has anyone tried it - feedback?

I got 2 Anker 1900 mAh batteries with external usb/plug recharger, I just swap them when one is discharged.
Now my phone works a lot longer but the greatest difference occoured when I stopped using Superpower app with it's 2G/3G switching scripts (2G preferred) and turn on airplane mode in the night when I sleep.
Now my phone works even 3 days when is lighlty used.

My Anker battery offered a great improvement at first, however six months down the line I'm not so sure its lasting as long as it used to - can't say I'm using my phone any more than I was, but I always seem to be in power saving mode now before I stick it on charge at the end of the day. Hopefully in another six months it won't have gotten any worse!

Best/ highest Mah stock sized battery?

I am looking for a battery that has the highest quality/ Mah that's the same size as stock. Meaning, there would be no need for a new back cover.

Anker 1900 is meant to be good.

Thanks, I figured it would be. Didnt know if there was anything a little bit bigger and was quality. Hopefully the Misses will be happy with it.

I've been using a BXT DPD G14 I found on eBay for 5 or 6 months now and it works very well. Fits with the original back and all. This is (supposed to be) a 2300 mAh batt. Even if it's not a full 2300 mAh batt., it still works pretty good and for $8, it ain't bad.

The anker/chichitec 1900s and the Mugen 1950 seem to be recognized as the three most true to their rating. All have had their share of positive reviews, as well as a handful of lacklustre reviews. I personally purchased the Mugen, but any of the three will likely work just fine for you.

The Saner battery also seems to be really good.

Momax X-Level 1700mA/h works for me.

I have used several different batteries, over time the best one I have use have been the 2010mAh AceSoft. After a few months of use these batteries lasted a lot longer then any of the other ones that I, or my friends have used. A little more money but well worth it.

me and my girlfriend both have anker 1900 batteries and it causes random shutdowns and its extremely annoying.
i bought an evo 3d battery which is 1730 mah and the same size.. should give about 9 hours of use. im waiting for it to come in the mail. but im back to the stock battery and no random reboots.
wouldnt recommend anker to anyone. just saying.

I use the mugen-power 1950mAh since january and it's great!
No need for a back cover and you get enough fuel to do whatever you want and without problems (random reboots with anker...?).
I really recommend it

jona compare the sice of the anker you have to your oem battery, it's probably a bit shorter. I have heard of people having random shut downs and I can tell you, your battery isn't broken or anything, it's most likely just a bit to short.
Try putting a little bit of plastic or paper additional to your anker battery in your phone - so it's like phone, papper/plastik, battery, connectors, phone....
There is even a post out there in xda about that.
Hope that helps.

Never had problem so far. It's been 2 - 3 weeks now.
Sent w/ HTC Sensation 4G (Z710a) XDA Premium

Own Anker battery for 3 month
Its a fantastic battery, claims 1900mah its actually 1950mah according to an app. also battery benchmark for stock was 240pt and Anker came in just under 500. thats a true improvement!!

I know I'm a bit late, but I have to say that my Chichitec 1900 mAh battery is fantastic! Fits great, and lasts noticeably longer than the stock battery. I've also read far fewer negative reports on the Chichitec battery compared to the Anker and others.
I highly recommend it.

Ive had the anker and am now using the evo 3d battery (1730), both of which are fanstastic but the htc evo battery is cheaper on Amazon. Always lasted at least 24 hours either way. Surely you've already gotten one by now though...

I have the anker battery now. It works perfect.
One and half a day because i dont play games and watch films.

Mugen Power 1600mAh Extended Battery for For HTC Desire

Comments of Mugen Power Batteries from Facebook user Val Komissarov
Hey, Mugen. I just installed your 1600 mAh battery for HTC Desire (properly charged for circa 9 hrs) on my HTC Desire running an Oxygen-based AOSP ROM (Android 2.3.7) and had two phone shutdowns when the battery charge was between 90 and 80 percent. That's something that never happened to me before while I'd been using native HTC battery. The ROM itself is extremely reliable and battery efficient. Any clues on that?
on the other hand, after 2.5 weeks of usage I must express my dissatisfaction with the product: the battery hardly lasts as long as the original HTC battery. I did everything per instruction, my ROM and usage patterns remain unchanged, so it's got to be the Mugen battery.

Could just be a faulty battery. Cant damn an entire product for one bad apple. I work in RMA's and see it all the time. "your product is supposed to last xxx times, it didnt even work once, false advertising!!!" My reply, bad units happen no matter what you buy. My other notice is, that is for the desire, not the desire HD. two different phones and two different batteries. Mugen only sells a 1500mah for desirehd/inspire.

Really? Ok, then I probably almost gonna buy a wrong one.
Thanks either!

There's a thread floating around somewhere which explains why the Mugen and similar high capacity batteries are no better than the standard HTC one.
The HTC branded battery can use ~90% of its capacity whereas other only use ~80%.
I don't recall the exact numbers but it works out that, although the capacity is lower, more of it is usable.

Or they are the exact same and Mugen is just rebranding it.

So u r saying it does not worth buying? Either does not have any chang, or it is so minor that it is pointless?

1500 mah akku :good:

Buy it if it's cheaper than genuine HTC batteries, but don't pay more than genuine HTC battery prices, because they are all the same capacity.

Yeah I saw on their website, only 1500 mamph Desire HD batts

To be honest, I have tried some batteries and have ended up coming back to original HTC batttery because they all have similar response and don´t want the battery to melt inside my phone and fck both,the battery and phone.

I did not have a good mugen experience either, it did not had shutdown but the battery charge never last as long as advertized... And I did try every single mod or tweak in the forum, for me it was just like a regular htc battery.

So there is no point in a battery upgrade on Desire HD?

I got one of those 2450 mah (supposedly) batteries and much to my complete lack of surprise it was only 1230 mah.
It was only $8 so I thought I'd give it a try. But at least I have a spare battery that's a little better than the 1 3/4 year-old HTC battery I was using before.

Is there any differences with cost between original battery and mugen? Mugen seems a little expensive for me and plus, cargo price. Or Is it really worth to buy Mugen?

I've been using my phone for over 2 years now and battery lasts 12 hours aprox. ..so i'm considering either a new battery or that powerskin thingy..what do you guys suggest?

Go for a bigger battery. Known brands can offer batteries with more juice.

Mugen 1600mah or Anker (Sensation) 1900mah if you are willing to do the battery cover mod as described in the Sensation battery topic.
I own the second and its really very good choice.

Review Mugen Power 1950mAh Extended Battery

SKU: HLI-APX515CSL
Cell Type: Li-ION
Voltage: 3.7v
Capacity (mAh): 1950
Battery Door: Not Required
Rom used: my own kwbr rom
Kernel: stock kernel ICS 4.0.3
In the past I purchased several extended batteries from Mugen. I bought batteries for the hTC Wildfire, Sensation, Desire Z, HD2 and Google Nexus S. Needless to say why. Running these android devices for a full day on heavy usage can be a challenge on it's own. Besides running my own roms the battery is the first thing I replace to get better battery life.
The Mugen 1950mAh for the Sensation came in the known package including quick start guide how to calibrate the battery. Shipped the day after ordering it arrived within about 2 weeks.
The 1950mAh has a perfect fit. No need to replace the cover or fix things. First I calibrated the battery. After a few months of usage I can say the battery is great. Regular day, several calls, 2hours BT connection with nokia carkit. Reading emails and some browsing. After almost 11 hours usage and still 80% battery. That's better then I used to get with the stock battery.
The Verdict
A good battery. Although it is not cheap I consider it a must have for power users that don't want a bulky backcover with the hTC Sensation. You still need to charge the phone on a daily basis with moderate or heavy usage but at least it will last the day instead of the stock battery.

WHat the
dude 11 hours with that usage and still 80% ?! I should buy that battery. I wish the price could be cheaper though

How much did you pay for the battery?and did you order it direct from mugen?why did it take so long to get it is possible to get it in a few days.

You can also check mobilefun. 34 euros ex. Shipping costs a 3,50 or 10 euros for a 24 hours shipment-receiving. I prefer the 3,50. It will take about 5 days before receiving.

34 euros is 42 USD. Google is your friend

@ kwbr
I just want to know your configuration so I have few questions
Which ROM you have? Is it GB or ICS?
Which kernel you're using? Did you change clock speed?

I would also like to see screen on time, I imagine it's next to none.

I have Mugen second week. I can use sensation couple hours longer without charging. Also notice some improvement with screen on time.
But for me it is to early for review. I will write my opinion after a longer time of using it.
I will try to add some screenshots in next few days.
edit:
Here are some screenshot
Soon I will add more to show battery life with heavy load

yea i seen that too. i would rather look at the posts with heavy use on the battery, instead of standby most of the time and barely have any time for screen on. of course, if the screen is barely on and most of the time on standby mode. the battery drain will be very minimal

What about this battery?

Hi all.I really need to buy a big battery for my sensation and i found this battery .Anybody know something about this battery? Or i must buy a XE stock battery?I`m from Romania and there not found Anker battery and nobody deliver to Romania.Thanks!

If you are willing to take a risk, it could pay off or it could not. If you aren't able to get the Anker battery and don't want to take a risk, I would say go with the stock battery.

I bought my replacement battery from dx.com and seemingly hit a lucky strike: it's supposed to be 1700mah, yet measures over 2000 in Android Tuner. Cheap, free shipping, pretty much ideal except for the ~3 week shipping time. Doesn't get especially warm, works perfectly, and capacity has only gone up in he couple of months that I've had it.

I really don't know - I'd guess an original replacement has somewhat better quality, but I'm not really finding anything wrong with this battery. The only niggle I have is that remaining battery capacity changes on reboots - it might say I have 30% left before rebooting, and then 40% after (I just made those numbers up, but they're pretty representative). It always goes up, though, so I never have less battery remaining than what I'm seeing. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the battery not reporting its actual capacity to the phone (from reading other threads, only original HTC batteries seem to do this), which maybe means the system has to calculate remaining capacity from other factors(?). Still, it doesn't really affect anything.
I've attached a few screenshots I just took, showing some stats and my current usage (as you can see, the phone has been pretty much constantly in use today, mainly web browsing, but some text editing and other stuff too. Always multitasking, several tabs in the browser, and so on. Wifi on all the time, auto brightness, syncing 2 google accounts.). It's currently running at 1728MHz, Badass @performance (918/1188/1728MHz), with [email protected] 320MHz 3D, 266MHz 2D.

Yeah, I had the same problem - after a year and a few months my battery never lasted a workday even with light use, gaming could drain 30-40% in a matter of minutes, and it got ridiculously hot. I also got random reboots all the time. I concluded that the cheapest fix to try would be a replacement battery, and this solved all my problems
If you can get the stock XE battery at $18 including shipping I'd say that's a bargain, and you should probably go for it. Still, the Pisen battery is ridiculously cheap (and shipping from DX is free, if slow). If you can afford it, i'd buy both, try them out, and keep the least good one as a spare. Never know when you need one
