As the title says... this topic is going to be about MOMAX X-Level batteries (for the Desire HD, of course). I stumbled upon this item back when I was looking for a battery replacement for my old Desire (didn't get one, just a crappy solar battery which was not holding 2600 mAh, as stated, but barely 800).
So anyway. I found THIS topic while I was searching on Google... for this. I was kind of hoping there was a thread like that for the Desire HD community as well, but, sadly, there isn't.
So... is there anyone here having that battery? Is it any good? Cause on the HD2 thread, everybody seems to be extremely happy about it.
I'm going to replace my battery soon enough, because this 1230 mAh baby... is cripled or something. Even though the MOMAX X-Level battery is of 1150 mAh, people on the HD2 thread still give good feedback, like this battery is god-like.
I'm not going to buy an original HTC one, simply because it's $5 more expensive, and I could use that money, especially if the difference is only of 80 mAh. Also, I have reasons to believe that MOMAX battery is better.
I've had screen protectors and hard cases from MOMAX. They have NOT dissapointed me. X)
I'm going to pay the extra 4 bucks and get an original HTC battery instead of this MOMAX one, due to the lack of warranty it offers.
Still... if there are people that use this battery on this device, I would like to hear some feedback...
i believe amazon has better and bigger batteries than this one and people have reported positive feedback about them
here although this battery seems to be 1500mAh and people have reported that this one lasted 1/3 longer than the original one...i would say this should definitely be considered.
http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1272&T=1
this one?
since it's only got 20mAh more than stock (and thats only on paper!), i'd also suggest you stick with the original from htc.

No, the 1150 mAh one. I can't get the 1250 mAh in my country, yet.
Anyway, I'll stick to the original one. I trust HTC more than MOMAX, at least when it comes to batteries. MOMAX still does good hard cases & screen protectors, though, but I'd say that's the one & ONLY thing they're very good at.

That's the problem, I can't. The only one I trust, besides OEM, would be Momax. And all those batteries with stuffed capacity... are reported to not last much longer.
Anyway, I got an original one (HTC). I'll see how it performs... after I format it for 3 times -.-

I have bought MOMAX X-Level Battery a month back for my DHD & I am quite happy with it. For me its better than Original battery.

We need to find out if anyone has a battery that is bigger than 1500 mah. It looks like the Optimus 2x uses the same battery so I would hope someone has a 1650 or 1800 mah out there. Let me know if a source is found. It would be nice to have an external wall charger as well.

Check on Ebay every few days. I haven't seen one yet but they make it for most phones. The batteries are thicker than the standard ones and it also comes with a different rear cover to accept the thicker battery. It is usually from China and around $15 or so.

the optimus 2x has been out for a while, and there's nothing yet.. I agree.. probably will be out soon. too bad they can't pack more punch into the same size.. don't want to make my phone any thicker.. I'll have a case for it where it wont' fit in then..

Sometimes there are extended batteries made that are the same exact size as the stock one but have a larger capacity. For example, I bought a Seidio extended 1750mAh battery for my Droid X which was the same size as the original battery but had about 250 more mAh to it...it gave me a couple more hours on one charge. Hopefully something similar is made for the G2X!
Maybe a bunch of us should just write to seidio and ask them to start on developing one for us...

That's the nice thing about the Seidio ones. They are a legit company, and they can usually squeeze an extra 150-400 mAh out of the standard size battery. They aren't too terribly expensive, either. I am thinking for now, though, I may have to give one of those ebay ones with the separate battery charger a try....I have had good luck with ebay laptopt batteries, so....it might be worth the $20 for it.
Also, I will start spamming Seidio's twitter. Lol.

Seidio slim extended batteries are usually way lower than what they state. Just run a quick search on here...bottom line, you may as well use the stock battery in most cases.

Actually, they just re-label their inferior batteries with bigger mAh numbers and make a big profit for their efforts.
No company has ever made a legitimate higher capacity OEM size battery ever.

Agreed. Seidio does make some legit extended batteries, like the 2500 and 3500 mAh one's they put out for the EVO and Droid X, etc... but the ones that are the same size as the stock battery don't hold any extra juice, they take advantage of the loop hole in the rules concerning how companies can label batteries.
Batteries have a range of mAh that they hold. Say the battery in our device has a range of 1300 to 1700 mAh, most companies will use the average and label the battery at 1500 mAh. Seidio on the other hand will label theirs on the high end of the range at 1700 mAh, which is perfectly within their right to do, but is rather deceiving to the consumer.

There is no range. All the OEM batteries I've tested were within 3% of their tagged rating.
Regarding Seidio, there is no explanation as to why their "same size & higher capacity" batteries consistently deliver less power than an OEM battery.
But don't let me stop anyone from buying their snake oil.
Regarding Mugen, that first link shows a disassembled 3000mAh battery that contained 2 1200mAh cells. I call it fraud, plain and simple. They all do it, I've proved it.
i just ended up getting this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N63AC6 . i have a body glove case and they're a pain to snap off everytime i want to replace my battery while at work. for me, this is much easier.
now if they made a good extended battery with a custom back cover like i had on my g1, i'd get it.

Definitely stay away from the 1600mah. I saw those and I emailed one of the buyers.. and asked him for his input on the battery b4 I made a purchase. He said "stay away, they are junk and only hold a charge for a couple of hours. save your money."
Anybody have any luck with extended batteries? If so what is a good brand to get and where from?

Yes, but is it better than stock? I highly doubt it's actually 1800mAh. If it is, then the Chinese have turned into wizards.
I am currently using these. I just started using it, so not sure how different it will be. I will let you know.
The reviews are kind of hit and miss
I seen one on ebay where you remove the battery cover, and it was a case too. with like a 3500ma or so.
But I like my Otterbox to much.
I'm using an Anker 1600mAh from Amazon. It's noticibly better than the stock battery, but it takes a week of overnight charging to get the most out of it.

I bought an Anker Slimtalk external battery for mine. Going pretty good so far. I can top up my battery when it goes too low in the evening.
I bought an Anker 1600 mAh and actually performs slightly better than stock battery.. maybe It's the Rom maybe not... Because with ICS I got 23 hours with stock and 18 with Anker..

I have a Dynapak(I think that's the name) from Amazon and I notice a difference compared to stock. I think I paid $16 when I bought it for two. I believe it says they're 1600 mAh or 1650. I'm happy with it.

Might just be temporary. Even on ebay the seller laptopmate USA (same authorized seller from amazon) raised the price to $67 to keep people from bidding. But they did not remove the auctions. So they will be back.
Hey goat, still got your Eternity? I use mine as an MP3 player now. Just put a new digitizer on it and its like new.
Never actually had the eternity. I had the impression. And yeah I still got it. I had to replace mine also.
So I was on amazon looking for extended batteries. I've heard that the anker and hyperion batteries are reliable, and that some batteries can be worse than others. I wanted to get two extended batteries (3500mAh ones) and this seemed good:
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337731035&sr=1-6
does anyone know if this is any good? The fact that it comes with a belt clip is sort of appealing
Would've been nice if it came with an external charger, but I can probably do with the one I already have.
Anyways, anyone have any tips or suggestions concerning good/decent extended batteries for the epic 4g?

Here's a few screenie's from my phone using the Hyperion 3500 mah i have 2 of them and they're about the same.
On CM7 i could get a day's worth of battery with about 1-2 Hours of actual screen on time. Or6 Hours of screen on time and 7 hours on the battery just straight streaming netflix. I have gotten 2 Days before on Cm7 with 1.5 Hours of screen on time for display.
On ICS i can get about 15-18 Hours depending on usage

They aren't 3500mAh no, but while they don't reach their claimed capacity, they offer a hefty value as far as capacity/dollar is concerned. True OEM 1500 batteries can be closer the same price ($7.89 here, still more expensive though) and true OEM 1800mAh batteries are more then double the 1500's in cost (best price I found here was $17.66).
If the swivel case isn't a huge loss for you, maybe get just one battery and see for yourself for much cheaper, $6.53 here

Sounds about on par with how I'd expect the Hyperion to perform, and it's hard to say since it was my oldest Generic but it *seems* as though the larger print "3500" batteries don't perform as well as the small print labeled ones (which if you ever looked at the Hyperion, it has the small print label )

I'm not worried about length or width as the OEM Epic Touch battery (aka the 1800mAh) fits easily into our phones, though I always heard that the Epic 4G's batteries were slightly longer so I was more worried about the Hyperion Epic Touch version being a slight bit too deep (to fit the same capacity) to work...though I think there is a little extra space in the current Generic battery cover that may allow for what little more depth there *may* be (as you can shake the phone and hear the battery jostle around slightly)

Yeah it's weird that sometimes they do that, change some of the phone so that they aren't compatible. Probably the most absent minded business strategy I've ever heard
Just to let you guys know there is actually a set of the 1800 mAh's for our phone and the Epic Touch i got the one for our phone and the 1st charge i got 15-16 HRs and about 3 Hrs of screen on time
I personally use the Yoobao 2800 mAh extended battery from here

I watched several videos on Youtube with recommendations and thats what made me get one. I dont think I have ever had it die all the way on me during the day, as long as I charge it every day or two I have no problems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al_po8oanz0 this guy has multiple videos reviewing these batteries and after trying it out versus a generic 3500 mAh, it is much preferred.

That's okay? but the 3500 mAh Hyperion i can get 4-5 Hours of screen on as well as 18-24 Hours on ICS. Hell on CM7 i got close to 2.5 Days with about 1.5 Hours of screen on time.
Not to mention the 1800 Ankers are slim so it fits without a big back and gets still decent battery life i just got 16 Hours and 3 Hours of screen on time on the 1st charge just opened the battery up and put it in the phone @100% so it hasn't even settled in yet.

Hi all,
Sorry if this subject has been hammered already, but a lot of these things are time specific, i.e. battery tech improves with time.
About a year ago I bought a Desire HD 1600mah replacement battery from a popular auction site, and it worked for a few weeks.
Now it doesn't hold a charge...and basically makes my phone freak out when I put it in.
I've seen Gold batteries on the popular auction site, which are 2450mah ish. I've also heard things about Anker batteries, the 1600mah kind.
What do other DHD users in the UK (or at least available to the UK) recommend for a replacement battery.
That cheap 1600mah one is in the bin...you know the ones that come with a free YiboYuan charger!
Thanks all. :thumbup:
It has been mentioned many times.
Check for mugen batteries.
It's available for all Europe.

They are very expensive, and the capacity is not much bigger than stock. Has anyone any experience of the following? :-

I've also heard mixed views of anker batteries...so I'm not sure about these. The mugen power ones, although expensive, no one has a bad word to say, so maybe the high price is worth it...although the low capacity rating (1500 mah?) concerns me.
Thanks.

The best combination of mah quantity and quality is Anker 1909mah.
Only drawback, the mod in battery cover to hold the bigger battery in place.

I don't think that cheap batteries are so good. Personaly , I've never tested. I prefer the original ones provided by HTC, or the expensive ones.
Anyone buy one of these? Seems a bit too good to be true... or maybe theyre just cheap to get rid of them since the G2 is aging?

Name they have always been around that price, they seem to be hit or miss, never trully what they claim to be
Sometimes you'll get one that is better than stock that stays that way for a year, sometimes they start out good then deteriorate quickly.
I find anker and mugen make the best after market ones, better then stock anyway. Or there are phones that use the same size batteries as ours only 1500 mah or so, I think some evo model.
Check other threads in here, tons on batteries, for your answer, mine is go with anker for the price

I bought the same exact battery via dealextreme [1], and as my suspicion was, it's a standard 1300mAh battery. I figured I would give it a try for just the $1 difference from the same type of battery [2], with only 1500mAh (which was also 1300mAh as stated in the comments).
Anyway, it's a decent battery regardless of the fake capacity that it claims to have. It has real temperature readings which was something that I didn't expect.
YMMV, though

Looks like the same battery I reviewed at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955706
It didn't test out at 2450 but the battery app did show mine to be ~1850mAh which was still enough of an improvement to be noticeable in regular usage.
I buy a couple of this battery, first test with nova battery tester 603 mAh, second test 766mAh
less than oem battery
Haven't tried it before, but I think that Mugen 1800 is pretty good.
3500mAh
