Gooooooooooood evening every1,
I'm Antony and I will be discussing the progress and my personal review on the new 1800 mah Mugen Power battery for my HTC G2 that I bought and received yesterday.
1st of all the stock battery that it comes with when you buy it is a 1300mah battery, which for me is not enough, for I am a very heavy user of the net and I use plenty of apps and games, plus I tinker with my G2 all thee time. That battery would not last the whole day for a person such as I, unless I just use my G2 to text, then I might have some battery left at night till I need to recharge. I bought my G2 in the beginning of Jan and have had it till now which is the 7th of June. So it would be 5 months with it, and I've hated the battery from day 1 because I would use the gps nav to help me get around, and after using it my battery would just collapse in charge =( the necessity of a car charger had to come along, that's not a big deal, but I lost the damn thing. So I noticed my friend had an extended battery for his evo and I decided to search the net for a battery for my G2 ( I love saying it, its just soo damn powerful and fast, it deserves to be called by its name instead of just a phone, we all know its not just that) and I found plenty of batteries; stock, and extended. But just soo many that I didn't know which would be reliable. Then I ran into the Mugen Power batteries. I did research on reviews and what previous customers thought of their batteries. And they were all mostly well, above average, i'd say 4/5 on the scale. Only complaints I found was that they didn't last as much as the stock battery so they thought it was garbage.
Now here is my take on the battery after only 1 day of using it.
I put it to charge for a bit over 12 hours, maybe 15, but no more than 24 for sure, as instructed on the packaging ( instructions were short and simple, nothing techy nor complicated ) and after finishing with the charge I disconnected it, and the battery begins to leak what I believe was battery acid through the back door! Can u believe that?! Nor could I! That's y it didn't happen! Haha, just kidding, as I was, I disconnected it and began using it like I normally would. I had wi-fi on, with the back light low on 25% because I was indoors, and the mp3 player was running. To add to that I went on some social networking website, and various other websites not in search of anything specific but just browsing my interests. Checked my gmail various times and last but not least, browsed the market. After a while my battery was at 75% I did the calculation and estimated that it would last 5 more hours till it hit 50%. And I was approximately correct! It went about 10 hours till it hit 50% I was impressed. The stock battery would never give me a result like that after using it like I regularly would, not even on day 1 out of the box. Now this is only from today as my 1st day of use with the 1800 mah Mugen Power battery. I will continue to use it and post my further results. I will continue to recharge the battery for at least 12 hours as instructed 3 to 5 times. I feel confident that it will give me even better results after completing the charging instructions. I believe that the unsatisfied customers that gave bad reviews might of not followed the instructions to properly charge the battery, they might of thought that it just any other battery that u just charge to 100 percent the second it reaches there and u can immediately disconnect it and use it while expecting to get the 100% charging results... well its not, let me say that they mightve been idiots that cannot follow instructions.
To wrap this up; stock battery sucks, new battery is WORKING! And with great results. Apple can kiss my ass and diamonds are forever.
If you have any questions or comments please post them here, I would like to read about your personal experience with a Mugen Power battery.
HTC G2 (1516mhz in speed!!! Be jealous!!)
You have diamond on your ass? Lol j.k
In seriousness, thanks for the review. I'll have a try at the new battery soon.
You should also calibrate the battery with the phone after mugen's instructions. I plan on getting one of those after a few more reviews.

No mention as to how much it cost? Lol. And I agree with the stock battery sentiment. Mine died on me today after browsing the internet for 30 minutes max, music throughout the day, and Plants Vs. Zombies for 40-ish minutes. Boo.
It's possible to get if for around 20, maybe 22 euro's, excluding shipping.
I think i'm going to buy one
Do you bought it from the Mugen website ? If not could you give us a link
thx

Care to provide a link?
Mugen's site lists it at $45 USD, that's about 32 Euros.
I bought 3500 mAh battery from DealXtreme. Cost $11.90 with shipping.
Comes with it's own back plate because the battery is so thick. Very ugly looking and heavy but lasts about twice as long as the stock battery
I can't provide a link or pictures as I am not yet allowed to post links here.
hey, cheers for the review... how many hours in total is it lasting now? and did you have to cut any covers off the battery to make it fit or did it just fit nicely out of the box
but the g2 has kind of a weird back. does the battery stick out and need a bigger cover? how does that look on the g2? (pic please)

I have one of these batteries. it's quite big and you need to use the cheap cover that comes with it. It's good to have if you're traveling.
My apologies for not posting earlier, battery continues to deliver great results. This battery actually last the whole day. This days results were 15 hours straight on moderate use and still has 30%. Some of you have asked for a link, I believe that I am not allowed to post links, I may be mistaken. But its the 1800mah Mugen Power battery. Its the exact same size as the stock battery. I didn't need to cut anything on it to make it fit with the original cover, fits in perfectly. Here in the United States, it cost about 44 dollars plus about 3 dollars extra for 1st class shipping. I bought it from the official website, if you find a better deal somewhere else, well congratulations, I hope it delivers its full capacity.
Any more questions? Comments?

I agree with this. No cutting or bad fit, and is better than stock. Not by as much as you would think from the difference in capacity, but I find it noticeable. Now happy with phone life.
I just got mine yesterday. I left it on the charger for 12 hours, as suggested, and I've had it on for 4 1/2 hours, 3 of that was constant GPS use with the screen on. I'm at just barely 1/2 charge now. At the very least, this will get me through an entire work shift of heavy use.
1800 mah battery. Cost $49 off Amazon, shipped Friday, got here last night.
If I had the money, I would compare this one to the Andida 1800mah battery and post a thread for comparison for that. I have thought many times about getting the andida battery but don't want to spend money on a battery without more juice. I have been saving for this battery for a little while now. Hopefully, I can get it soon because I do have an 1800mah battery for an Evo made by andida.
Yes, it's not the same but it could be used as a comparison for this battery...
I got this battery. It's a barely noticeable improvement over the stock battery.
You might not have the exact same battery that I have. I bought it from their official website. Not Amazon. If you do have the same battery, did you charge it as instructed on the packaging? If you did not, then there is your problem. If you did just as instructed and it still doesn't work, and if its an exact Mugen battery, just like we have, then you may just have a defective battery.
I would post pictures but I am not allowed to post yet.
The review sucks; Very unprofessional, no model numbers, etc.
This sounds more like an ad than anything else.
Second, do you use SetCPU? Im a heavy user (surfing, downloading, angry birds, etc) as well and out of 24 hours about 6 Id say, the phone is idle and SetCPU kicks in downclocking it to 200mhz when the screen is off. In those conditions Ive seen the phone go down to about 60%
Third, do not tell funkeee his battery is defective. Battery life depends on so many other things such as reception, individual components, etc.
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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
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

Just wondering if anyone has tried this battery. It's the newest one I've seen, and the highest capacity but, as we know, that may be bollocks.

i got it, the old battery lasted about 10 hours with me, this lasts about 12 hours under similar use... big difference is it takes about half the time to recharge! i think im gonna buy the Anker 1900mAh battery and try that out
The Anker 1900 seems to be the one everyone is using and actually IS 1900mAH. Some of these higher ones are false but I'd be interested in how you compare this and the Anker 1900. Going to get one of these anyway. Interesting about the re-charge time.

The recharge time is entirely possible of they punched a few thousand nano holes through the lithium to allow for the ions to transfer faster. However, considering the production time it probably takes and the price of this battery, I doubt it. I've been using the Anker 1900 mAh batteries and have been getting pretty solid life (with no calibration & heavy usage). I usually see 8-10 hours, which is fine because I just swap out the battery with the one that's been charging (I bought the 2-anker batteries + battery charger combo pack). I'm seeing some people say they get 20+ hours on a stock battery due to phone configuration? I'm not so sure about that yet. I'll do a calibrate, reconfigure my phone, then see what kind of hours i'm getting.
Mhh only 6 dollar. that is quit cheap. The anker 1000mAh costs around the double money and more.
Is it possible to built such a battery with _over_ 2400mAh with that money?
Just be careful.
Im using the anker one too. Really great.
I'm seriously getting a huge battery life right now, and I am on the Anker 1900. I have one battery but I have configured FauxClock to underclock the processor to 1GHz + I am using Juice defender on the Advanced setting. Yes the battery does need to be calibrated correctly but it's incredible the difference these two things make to battery life.
I use the phone a lot and I don't notice any lag when it's underclocked.

I'm having this battery for like two weeks now, and I must say it's absolutelly fabulous. I'll post my usage results later today or tommorow morning. It's definatelly more than 50% increase of usage. Not a single problem with this one, and it was really cheap.

That is correct, I'm sure most of us spend a lot of time on the dev boards lurking, but in fact there is quite a bit you can do to make your battery life a lot longer without getting a new battery, aside from flashing a new rom and kernel. I personally have gone 20 hours with the stock battery, but that was with minimal use of course. One thing that increased my battery life significantly was making all my emails and updates C2DM, for instance. I'm sure there are a lot of users out there that still use email sync...
Here are my stats with ~10% remaining battery last night, before I went to sleep FB, LN, TW, Weather, 3x mail acc, all syncing as much as possible all the time, mails every 15mins, Whatsapp, Viber, GTalk, FBMessenger, ...
I'm super satissfied with this gold battery.

I'd like to buy it too, can someone else confirm that this is a good one ?
Is there temperature issues during charge ?
How many time does it take to charge it from 0 to 100 ?

I have an extended battery for my. Inspire(1850 mah) but it still doesn't help that much and I was wondering even though it is a unibody cover if there is an extended battery with a cover like the extended battery for the Google nexus 1
Sent from my magic piece of metal using even more magic
hey let them completely discharge 3 times ( after it dies , wait about 5 minutes and power on the phone again let it power off)
don't let the battery charging over night . about a 3 hr and 30 mins to 4 hr will do.
i have a 1500 mA battery . it last me about a 1 with heavy use .( temple run , music , pandora , gps , text , photos , and reading )
Never try to let you batteries run completely dead. This will shorten the life of Li-Ion batteries. And feel free to let your batteries charge over night. When the battery gets charged fully the charging will stop or slow as needed. They will not overcharge. The charging systems of phones have their own regulation. Not sure where previous poster got his info. Guess his phone still uses NiCads.
Yet to see an extended battery for The Inspire with the custom cover. There is a battery pack that attaches to the back of the phone but I can't remember the make. There was big talk when they were released but I hear little about them now.

that i read , is not good to let the battery over charge , that has happened to me, i have let it over charge overnight , after that the battery life gets reduce, i have an app call current monitor , after the battery reach 4.209 V . if i let sit there charging, the voltage starts to go down . ( maybe is the app)
with a 3 hour charge , i get about a day use out of the cell phone . letting the battery died the first three time you put it in the phone , i was told by th rep of the company that sold me the item , like i said before i get pretty good battery life , even with heavy use , now that temple run is in android . even more fun ..
Not that its a huge improvement over 1850 but the best I've seen for the inspire are 2000mAh, I just kept searching on ebay in 100 mAh increments until I got no results.

Be extra careful were you buy your extended life batteries from.. i ordered two and got what i paid for... they were 1850mAh which did last about 4 hours longer then the original but which one my camera didnt work... Said something to the tune of "Cannot use flash in cold weather conditions"... When i saw this for the first time i was like WTF its 80 degrees outside... then i changed batteries again and it worked... obviously something wrong in the battery.
It i probably worth spending a little more money on the battery to get better quality product.
saw this on ebay...2450mah
highest capacity ever for the HTC DESIRE HD or INSPIRE 4G
you can search on ebay for HTC DESIRE HD 2450mah...
not sure about it's performance, since it's made in china.
you are awesome

According to the DHD community the Mugen is the only trustworthy one, and that's at around 1650mah. The ones you see online are rarely what they claim to be.
1800 Andida good
Basically Mugen and Anker are the only good extended batteries it seems, and even then they don't seem to help much. D: I still wanna pick up an extra battery just in case for long trips, etc.
Hello XDA Community, i'm a HTC Sensation owner and i got it from service 3 days ago (the phone had really frequent shutdowns and the battery only lasted like 2 hours even without using it). Altough it doesn't have those problems i experience a really weak battery... As you can see from the photos i only had a 9h and 20 minutes lifetime from 100%, with only 2 hours and 7 minutes Screen On... Today i played games around 1 hour, used the internet 5-10 minutes , talked for like 1 minute and sent 5 messages. Is it normal that a 1520 mAh battery drains so fast?
I had the same problem when I first got my Sensation. Mine was used, so the battery was already a year old, but the phone was mint. I had the same terrible drain as you have, and I hardly used mine during the day. I rooted it and tried a few ROM's, and found that so far, anything based on Bruce's CM10 gives the best battery life. Will defiantly be try the Viper ROM today though.
If you don't want to root, I would pick up one of these:

I'm going to be trying one out myself.

I bought mine used too, it was used for 8 months, ill try to purchase an anker then... Thanks!
Hi I had same issue, tried Anker it was a good battery but I still needed more juice . I went to Mugen 3800mah battery. Now with HEAVY use I get more than 24 hours use out of one charge! I can't stress enough what a difference this battery has made for me! Yes it is expensive but for me it was worth every cent! I am a heavy user of my device and rely on it for everything from navigation to internet to gaming. This is a serious battery , it solved all my battery drain issues ! One thing through, it does make you're device a bit thicker but it still fits in pocket and feels good in my hand. For me, battery life is what I'm after so I don't at all mind the thicker phone I'm not in a beauty contest, I wanted results! This battery delivers. If your a moderate user you might not need so much juice but if you're a heavy user like I am this battery is the answer! It will not disappoint! If you find Anker is not providing enough juice and want more time on battery, do consider Mugen 3800mah. You won't worry about running out of battery Again! This battery with HEAVY use will still be on 100% two hours later!! My biggest issue was battery drain and this battery solved that problem for me. Like I mentioned its not for everyone because it will make device thicker but if you're serious about battery life it's the way to go! So depending on your use this might be an other option for you. If you use your device heavily, I highly recommend this battery. Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the tip... I'm not such a heavy user of my phone but atm its still unbealiveable short on it's life. If i would take it out of the charger at 100% and play 1 and a half hour it will get to 1%...
Have you gave Anker a try? Most people here really like Anker and its given great extended battery. It's very affordable and I think it would be a wonderful solution to your issue.battery will make a big difference. You will see. My stock battery was absolutely pathetic. After I switched it was like night And day a huge difference! I believe Anker is only about 10 to 15 dollars and you won't regret switching. This is one solution to your issue. Best wishes. You can also try changing kernels and see if that helps but I think a Anker battery will really help in your situation.

Hello XDA Community, i'm a HTC Sensation owner and i got it from service 3 days ago (the phone had really frequent shutdowns and the battery only lasted like 2 hours even without using it). Altough it doesn't have those problems i experience a really weak battery... As you can see from the photos i only had a 9h and 20 minutes lifetime from 100%, with only 2 hours and 7 minutes Screen On... Today i played games around 1 hour, used the internet 5-10 minutes , talked for like 1 minute and sent 5 messages. Is it normal that a 1520 mAh battery drains so fast?

Just thought I'd put my two cents in...
Whilst a higher capacity battery will help to some extent, IMHO it's like buying a bigger hose instead of fixing the hole in the bucket.
To clarify, I do actually own an Anker 1900mAh battery as well as the stock battery, but only because it was cheap and I was interested to see how much difference it made. I switch between the two on a regular basis. I can't deny the Anker certainly has a better cycle length than stock, but as I was already achieving well in excess of a full day's use on stock battery the benefit to me was negligible.
Another clarification, I'm not one of those people who will refuse to use their phone all day and then crow about their "amazing" battery life. You buy a smartphone because you want to use it. Mine is a work phone and as such is well used every day, making/receiving calls and texts, camera shots, VPN access etc. Then there's my personal use, web browsing, eBay, bluetooth audio every time I get in the car or work truck, e-books, games and so on. Not to labour the point but the phone comes off the charger at 6 am every work day and always has some life left when it goes back on the charger at 10 or 11 pm.
I guess, partly because of what I do for a job, I'm not a fan of "bigger hammer" solutions. There is a wealth of information here on XDA and you can greatly increase your battery life and cost you nothing but a bit of time spent reading. For a start I'd suggest looking into Battery Monitor Widget and/or Better Battery Stats (this thread).
I don't know if you're rooted or not, there are huge gains to be made with rooting and the possibilities that come with that. However, my wife's completely stock One S had absolutely atrocious battery life out of the box, and of course no possibility of increasing battery capacity, but with a few tweaks and better understanding she can still get a day's use out of her phone.
Sorry for the lengthy reply, but I see a lot of "get a bigger battery" responses to these questions when there are other options you can explore
