I'm planning on buying a higher capacity batter for my DHD: any suggestions? I don't want a bulky external battery, the thing is big enough as it is.
I found this on eBay, but it seems waaay too good to be true.. Is there a risk of it exploding in my pocket, or just of it being really crappy?
Are the Mugen (1500mAh) or Andida (1800mAh) batteries any good?
Any answers will be appreciated
Thanks
From what I've read, the Mugen batteries are good but they don't make too much of a difference in normal usage. I really doubt there can be such a huge jump in mAh without any increase in size as the two batteries suggest. 1500 mAh seems plausible, but 1800 mAh seems very unlikely. The actual capacity will be much less than advertised, hence the not so great performance improvement.
In my opinion, (if you haven't done this already) you'd be better off rooting your phone and installing one of many custom ROMs here which give excellent battery life over the stock ROM. I get around 18 hours of moderate to heavy usage and more than a day of light usage. Also, I keep 2 standard batteries. The battery life offered by that combination is much better than a single higher capacity battery, and the HTC battery costs a lot less too.

I want a higher capacity battery also! any one have suggestions?
Thanks for your answer I might go for the spare battery, even though I probably won't ever have it on me when I actually need it
As you can see from my sig, I have installed RCMix's latest custom ROM, but while it adds lots of great features, my battery life is actually shorter than with stock.

Yeah I tried RCMix3d Runny 4.0 and found the battery life quite bad too. Even with killersloth's UV scripts and all that. That and average GPS performance (~6 satellites usually, weak lock) were the only problems with it. The RCTweaks are awesome.
For the best battery life and fast GPS lock (~10 satellites strong lock), from my trials, I've found that these ROMs give the best performance -

If you're going to buy a replacement battery, get an OEM one (0% improvement over stock ) or get the Mugen 1500mAh - that may just get you through to the end of the day.
Definitely, install a different ROM, and look at the clockspeed options you're given (or just install OC/UV Beater) You can overclock or underclock, and also play with undervolting, which improves efficiency.
Also consider network management, screen brightness etc -an easy way to do so is to use Juice Defender, though the purists say all their options can be effected manually.
And if all else fails, you can carry a battery pack around http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Trent-D...1OK4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1326811038&sr=8-3 this is 5000mAh, these people produce an 11000mAh version. My 5000mAh pack is great for sticking in the rucksack on a long day out with GPS enabled, cost about GBP20 - of all the options I evaluated, this is best value for money - also no need to switch phone off, vs changing the battery). Their customer service was very responsive when I told them that the charging cable wasn't working
Don´t waste your money in chinese batteries.I tried a few myself.If you really need it,the best thing is to buy anther OEM one.
Mugen's 1500 battery shows about 15% better capacity than my almost year-old stock one (1270 vs. 1095mAh, as measured by the battery monitor widget, after its first 4 cycles). Does not look quite like 1500mAh, but I guess the stock one never did register 1320mAh in that measurement either - it's either a systematic error, residual change or something...

I have an (china) battery from ebay with 1600 mAh. the battery life on our phones is really really poor. I heavily used my phone of the day an i only get a battery life from 6-8 hours, and thats really bad. So i found that no battery is even better than the original.
Though Mugen is not a perfect solution, it is better than stock batt.
Don't just go for price when you are buying batteries too, especially those dirt cheap china batteries. I bought a few before, it bloated up after a few months of usage.
hi, can some one suggest me(I am heavy user) witch is the best battery for DHD and best place to buy ?
Thanks
Due to DHD specialty, there can be used batteries with the capacity not more than 1500 mAh. All the numbers more than 1500 are either lie, or mean that battery is thicker than DHD body can support.

That's why you've got three options:
1) use multiple batteries (not really an option)
2) use an external charger (better, but i don't want to carry around more than the phone)
3) if you use a protective case then get a sensation battery....mines got 1900mAh and fits nicely into my DHD
You can also use a secour / external battery .You can reload four or five time you phon whit.
I have one extra 1230mAh battery & an Energizer XP2000 Portable charger. But to my opinion, adjusting your phone-charging habits makes all the difference. Anticipate with respect to your day's routine.
Though, I'm looking forward for the GSM version of Motorola Droid Maxx, or for any other that rivals its battery capacity.
p.s. charging extra batteries individual would be nice. I should try modding some usb cable to connect directly to the battery contacts, hmmmm...

Hello everyone!
I've spent the past week doing as much research as possible into what type of battery to buy for my G2 and i've come across alot of information to say the least. Alot of opinions, alot of useless data, and some useful data. I just wanted to summarize this info for everyone. And add any new information that people post in the thread below, including battery life data.
Popular Batteries:
- The Mugen 1800mAh - $45 (1400mAh in testing)
- The Senido 1750mAh - $50 (1400mAh in testing)
- The HTC 1500mAh 35H00123-11M (-00M).. Also known as the TP2/EVO battery - $7 (1500mAh in testing)
- The CHICHITEC 1800mAh - $20/each or $40 for 2 + Charger (untested)
Research:
- Mugen and Seido seem to have EXTREMELY inconsistent mAh ratings, HTC seems to be the most consistent.
- On the other hand, trying to compare these battery assuming constant maximum power draw is a little unfair.
The one thing that seems constant is that HTC's battery's perform as expected in every environment and over time, whereas the third partys seem to be able to pull values closer (somewhat) to what they advertise under certain conditions. Not to mention that we have no knowledge regarding the long-term affects of the 'tuning' that these third party companies have done.
We gotta realize that most battery's are using the same cell or the same knock-off cell, and we can't really expect to much of an increase in mAh in this battery form-factor.
Installation Issues:
A lot of these battery's will need to be modified to fit our phones in one way or another as they're meant for the EVO 4G/Incredible/TP2/MyTouch3gSlide/CDMAHero.. Even the ones that are labeled as "G2 Compatible" might not be as a lot of the 'higher capacity' cells have identical dimensions.
Removing the Wrapper around the battery might assist with door bulge
If you feel like you have to aggressively 'wedge' the battery in then you might want to remove/modify the little nub's at the bottom of the battery near the contacts using nail clippers/dremel/knife. Otherwise you run the risk of damaging the cell-side charging contacts.
Some of the hardcore guys in here have sanded down the battery to have a good fit
The 'fit' differs from phone to phone depending both on the dimensions of each specific battery (not the actual brand or company, but each individual battery seems to be a little bit different) and the G2 Door.
If you leave the door bulging indefinitely it might damage the door in some way, it's recommended that you remove the door and just use a case if it's a major problem for you.
Tips:
- After installing the new battery, remember to reset the battery calibration through your recovery. This affects how many times you feel the need to "cycle it through" before achieving optimal battery life.
- Don't believe the temperature sensor on 3rd Party batteries
- Individual "Before and After" stories are cool, but not that useful considering all the variables involved with the hardware, the radio & signal, the software, and the human being (placebo affect). Aggregating all the data together does give us some picture of whats going on.
- The best tell for battery quality is the weight of the battery compared to your stock one, although this is not a guaranteed method.
Conclusion
After reading through as many threads as I could find regarding this topic, It seems that the CHICHITEC batteries have come to be the most popular across all these HTC phones. While the 1500mAh HTC EVO battery seems like the best deal with the most consistent power output.
The average perceived benefit using these batteries seems to be between 30-20%.

All Corrections Welcome, All Data Welcome!
Fantastic initiative. Unfortunately I only have the stock at the moment and I can't comment.
Did u mean Seidio or Sendio??

Thanks, this really is usefull and spares us who are still trying to figure out wich battery they want, alot of time!
For CHICHITEC 1800mAh battery, is it safe to shave off the piece allowing the battery to be a perfect fit? Such as trying to use a nail clipper and clip it off.
Very good work on compiling all this information.
All I wanted to do was add my experience. I went out on a limb and bought the 2000mAh batteries from Galilio.
I took the wrapper off and trimmed the tabs and have been using them for about 3 months now.
My battery door does have a slight bulge to it but I can live with it.
The other day I decided to go back to my factory battery because I now have a charger by my bed, one in my truck and one at work. I have to say, I am spoiled now. My G2 is loaded up and running like crazy and my factory battery lasted like 2 hours where my Galilio battery goes for about 9 to 10 hours.
I text ALOT and facebook runs all day, I use the navigation on a daily basis and play tons of games.
Hope my 2 cents helped.

This doesnt make your Desire too fat like the 3000mAh and got significantly better times than the battery you chose because the stock battery also got 1400mAh, would be "just" a extension about 400 mAh...
Disadvantage: you can't use your stock protection case (if u do) because theres also a new case for that bigger battery
that battery is utter crap. worse than the orginal imo.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-35H00132-...aultDomain_3&hash=item1c1c1162c9#ht_720wt_906
I have only done one full cycle on it, but I think it is genuine. It is a tiny bit different from my original, but I think not all HTC batteries are the same.
I am using this battery http://www.dealextreme.com/p/replac...-battery-with-charger-for-htc-desire-g7-45427 of course its not 1600, it is about 1300-1400 mah but for now it last for me same as original battery which is almost 1 year old now, so not so bad to use it as spare battery when you out of juice.also you get wall charger-while one batery charging you can use your phone with another one,but don't recommend to charge it in desire-you know its made in china but for me it works ok, i am totally happy with it.so if you decided to buy not original battery,then buy and wall charger(or buy that from DX), because you dont want to explode your desire. do you? goog luck. regards
Yeah I bought that Chinese 1800amh battery too and it's terrible! I calibrated it and as you do with new batteries and it simply doesn't hold a charge. The stock battery lasts much longer when properly calibrated! I don't even think it's 1800amh. I'd suggest getting the Mugen Power battery. I got one for my old HTC Legend and it lasted ages!!! It was more expensive like between E30 - 40 but well worth it! They have a 1600amh one for the Desire, if you want a good battery that lasts, I'd strongly recommend it.
This is an age old topic I know, but was browsing the HTC sensation and sgs 2 forums.
When reading I can across an extended battery making called anker, reviews have been very positive for both phones.
Anyway to cut the story short I emailed anker and they do an extended battery for the HTC desire they provided me with link on amazon.

I agree! Unfortunately it just looks too.... wrong! Granted it might be great for people who can't charge often but I find my phone lasts at a minimum one day with normal usage and possibly 2 if I forget to charge it and don't use it much other than texting and say 30 mins of calls.
You would also need a modified case for it as well and I definitely need one of those as I seem to have a problem with dropping expensive things and my desire has been saved a few times from chips / bumps! by using a rubber case holder!

I doubt it very much but in the end it would probably just be easier to get a second battery and pop the cover and swap it out its not that hard but I guess you have to carry it around with you
I would like to warn you for some of these (cheap) batteries. I got one from ebay for one of my previous phones (nokia) and the battery just melted when charging. My phone was ok, but I don't think it was a very safe/healthy situation

I have one of those. Some apps or the OS see it as 780mAh, I didn't do much testing to find the real truth, but the actual battery is smaller in size than the stock one (maybe 1350-1500 max), has a cheaper and stupider controller (no voltage, no temperature) and it will decay faster than an original SANYO battery (it will be worse than your current battery is now in about a year with similar usage).
Ask yourself, what would you want to have in your pocket when your main battery discharges completely:
- 5 euro banknote
- 5 euro replacement battery with at least half charge
You get what you pay for.
Cameron Sino 2400mAh..with a bit of kernel tweaks, it lasts 1.5 days...good enough for my needs.
I guess you all need to check this review. It's a hands-on review with a lot of data on how much time Mugen 3200mAh battery adds etc.
In my opinion only original or Mugen batteries
i think the original battery is the best battery i had an battery from ebay from Polarcell the battery was terrible its not good has anyone a good alternative battery found

Hi all,
I would like to make my battery life for my phone better. I would like the opinion about external batteries and after market batteries. I just don't know what to buy. Should I buy both?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I've heard stories that Juice Defender in the market is worth it, may want to check out the free version.
I also recommend the stock battery for the EVO Design 4G, fits perfect in our G2/Desire Z and gives a little kick over stock. If you are looking for a monster extended battery that requires a new battery door, check out the battery thread in Accessories.
A lot of folks on here swear by so called "higher capacity" 3rd party batteries like Seidio and others.
But a while back, a guy on here did a bunch of testing of various 3rd party and OEM batteries on various phones. He found that the expensive, so called "high capacity" or extended 3rd party batteries almost never met their rated mAh. And often even tested lower than the stock (lower rated) OEM battery.
He wrote up his test methodology and results very comprehensively. It looked to be done pretty scientifically, and I take more stock in this than anecdotal evidence. Can't find it right now, but its a great writeup.
If your looking for a bigger battery I can vouch for the extended ones @ htcpedia, Having purchased a few myself.
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-desire-z/accessories/batteries.html
That aside your can try flashing a different kernel, for better battery life.
I have the Mugan 1800mah, after flashing a new radio (the newest one from T Mobile) and the matching RiL files my battery is lasting longer. So far on a single charge and moderate use I am getting around 36 hours.
I brought this CHICITECH set (2x1900mah batteries and a wall charger) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220648053...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1427.l2649#ht_5383wt_1185 and they arrived about 7 working days after in the UK.
I only got them yesterday, but already i have noticed a big difference. I had a stock battery before but these are lasting between 30 and 50% longer. I have heard good reviews about them before and they seem good so far.
You do need to remove the sticker and cut off a small bit of plastic to make them fit reasonably, but for the price your getting what appear to be 2 good batteries. Mugen slim batteries are a ripoff IMO.
So EVO 4G batteries would fit with some modifying? Hmm i think an external battery would be better for my use than carrying spares.

Get 2 batteries and keep one charged in your wallet, works a treat and doesnt add bulk
Just out of curiosity how long does ur average battery last? I can usually squeeze ~14 hours with moderate use. if u don't want the bulky feel I would suggest just getting another oem battery as a spare
Idea:
Grab one of those Energizer charge-on-the-go things with a micro-usb plug and use that to rapid charge your phone when you need a boost mid-day.
http://static.phonesreview.co.uk/wp-content/phoneimages/2011/05/Energizer-Energi-to-Go-pic-1.jpg
^ Just an idea.. I would substitute the lithium batteries with rechargables so that you can charge those up overnight and have them ready for the day too.
I have the stock battery and it can last about 19hrs on moderate use (10hrs on heavy) on Virtuous Quattro overclocked to 1.2GHz. Never had my phone die on me even when I ran Sense ROMs (after a 3 day break in period =p)

I don't know if you've tried juice defender app before but I think it helps. Not a lot but you can tell that it improves a little. I think the app kills the date, wifi, when it's in sleep mode and turns back on when you wake and use your phone.
Hi everyone, I've been running an unofficial Cyanogen 10.1 port for a few days now and mostly love it, but at times it does lag just a bit more than my previous rom (existz's ICS 4.0.4 rom, which is excellent). My question is, can I handle this by overclocking? I've never tried before. What's a good place to start?
I just ordered an 1800 mAh extended battery, as my battery life is pretty poor after two years now. So I figure that shouldn't be a concern.
That battery isn't really 1800mah. It's 1230 like stock and hopefully that "extended" battery lasts as many recharge cycles as your stock battery did before losing an appreciable amount of capacity.
That being said, some inspires overclock fine and we few don't at all. 1.3ghz seems to be a pretty popular number. Give it a whirl.

Could you tell me a little more about why it's only 1230? The amazon listing and packaging clearly state 1800. I understand that my battery is two years old and the life has been shortened by now, and that any new battery will likely be an improvement for now.
These are the things I always put and are recommended:
SMARTASSV2
245mhz (minimum)
1200/1305 (maximum)

Could you tell me a little more about why it's only 1230? The amazon listing and packaging clearly state 1800. I understand that my battery is two years old and the life has been shortened by now, and that any new battery will likely be an improvement for now.

Because it's not possible to increase the battery capacity by that much without physically increasing the battery size. As both the batteries are same, it's possible to make a denser battery with slightly more mAh, but not so much more. Usual cheap Chinese batteries and some branded ones quote a super high mAh compared to stock to entice people into buying them, but they're always the same as stock mAh or ever so slightly more. Also the quality of the battery may not be as good as the stock battery as it is unlikely to have passed through rigorous quality checks, and so this battery might have a much shorter life and lose capacity quite faster than stock battery.
Word of advice, rather than spend money on these so-called high capacity batteries, buy one or two extra stock batteries for the same price and keep them with you always. You'll get much much more battery life out of this set.
The only third party batteries which really work are extended batteries which are much bigger than stock battery and come with their own back panel for supported phones. This is physically impossible on DHD/I4G that's why you don't see them. For phones like the Galaxy S3 which has a removable back panel, you get replacement batteries which are 2-3 times the thickness of stock battery, and so obviously have a higher capacity. These batteries come with their own back covers for specific phones to fit their bigger size.
