[Q] Anyone Tried This? - Replacement Battery

Hey Guys
I'm having some quite bad battery life with my DHD and I was looking into getting a bigger capacity battery.
I found this:
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/standard-battery-for-htc-desire-hd1600mah-p-3411.html?language=en
It is 1600 mAh and on paper looks promising and before I just wanted to check has anyone ordered this and had successful results with this battery and the seller or is it just a fail?
Thanks
Patrick

Found one while browsing around for a replacement for my DHD too.
Can't post links yet, but if you go to a site called evertop ending in a .co.uk and search for 35H00141-02M, you will find one with 1550mAH rating.
There are a few of these replacement ones claiming higher capacity, but one has to be cautious about these things mate.
Would love to find a genuinely reliable replacement one, although I must admit, if you haven't tried it already, there is a thread around which has a tip to charge the DHD in a certain way - seems to have worked for me upto certain extent - have managed to go over 24h without the need to charge with moderate use.

Hi I am a new member here. I also read somewhere about a mugen battery. haven't been able to order yet. I recently bought an external 5000mAh battery (USB charging) I can charge my DHD approximately 4 times before recharging the external battery.
just wanted to share an alternative to extended batteries that need to replace your battery cover.

a 5000mAh? holy ****...

EXTERNAL
the ones, which you connect to your usb port and charge the phone's battery
i wouldn't buy another internal one than the original.
battery's can be really dangerous..no chance to buy one from china or so..just my 2 cents.

These are the same as ones you can get from ebay.

Take extra precaution to this company. They will send you counterfeit goods no matter what if they think you are incapable of fighting back (say, living too far away).
My friend has been scammed once, and he went through all the complain channel in UK online in vain. It seems that UK's Government has no intention to stop online scammers that are active in their own countries. That was really an awkward discovery.
So be very careful.

I still don't get why people consider battery life as extremely important for phones that have easy to remove batteries...
They arent too expensive, ($3 on ebay for a 1600 mah fake, $15 for a genuine 1230) and its not exactly that hard to keep a few on you.
External batteries are also another option, but they usually use more space than internal ones (and they also require a cable).

but external can hold ALOT more AND plug into various devices

I would definitely recommend an external powerpack. I have a New Trent 5500mah pack, and it indeed gives 2-3 recharges, in a form factor slightly smaller than the DHD.
The only battery which is not fake, is the Mugen, coming in at 1500mah. It's not a huge improvement, but many say it's the difference between running out of juice mid-evening, and making it through to the night and the power cord.
Search for Mugen in this forum, all the details are there.
Or look for NewTrent on Amazon for example. The price varies (and they have bigger models too).
Avoid ALL OTHER "high capacity" batteries

You are right, batteries aren't expensive nowaday.
I recommend using genuine where possible. Fake/replacement/counterfeit batteries return bogus charging level to the devices, and that would result in pre-mature shutdown which would damage mobile devices.

evertop co uk is a well-known scammer. You should have looked up uk's ripoff list (forgot the full name of this website, you could search) and you can find it listed top 10 or something.
UK is hoarded with scammers like that, because their government just don't give a dime of what their people do on the internet.

I bought two of these on eBay. It's not better than the original (but not worst either).
Worth the money I paid (few $).

Gold battery for DHD
Hi Guys,
I cannot put links yet, but search for "2430MAH HIGH CAPACITY BAS470 GOLD BATTERY FOR DESIRE HD" on Ebay. Got it yesterday, so far so good, looks like it lasts more than the stock one...
It says "Made in Japan" but im not sure about this
Did anyone else tried this one?

2430MAH? i don't think it is even possible to fit that much cell into the DHD battery size, i'm currently on the mugen 1500MAH battery, it is slightly better then the stock battery, would recommend that

- Ive been a little worried about this as I have a cheap one from China which came in an accessory pack, which by the way sucked. everything has just fallen apart. but the battery, which I rely on heavily as a backup, seems to have a better life than the original odly enough, dunno what's up with that. afraid it may leak or output higher charges and fry my phone?

[Q] Mugen VS Anker

Hello Guys,
My question is which battery is the best - Anker 1900 mAh (which actually proved to be around 1700 mAh) or Mugen Power 1950 mAh for Sensation/EVO 3D (not sure of the capacity is real). I have tried to find which battery is the best (even read the entire Anker thread) but I was unable to get a definite answer. I could see that Mugen is twice the money of Anker but it is coming from a well known company and also has temperature sensor. However Anker is a lot cheaper and provides good enough juice for its 15 bucks.
My HTC Sensation costs around $500 so I wouldn't mind giving $40 more for the Mugen battery but if the performance is small compared to the Anker battery I would prefer the latest.
So my question is which one is the best and have anyone tested both of them?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I am in the same predicament, been investigating the topic for a while now and... I guess they're very much alike - you won't find many (if any) people that bought Anker and swapped it for Mugen or vice versa.
The main thing is lack of disappointed people, can't see valid complaints against any of them, therefore my choice will be Anker - just because I a greedy bastard...

I have both and have used both for some time and I can say that the Mugen definately performes better than the Anker. Roughly I'd say that the Anker gives me 10% extra time over the original and the Mugen 25%, yeah it's really that good.
Downside is of course the price, but if you have some money, do buy the Mugen

Thank you atticus182. So it seems that Mugen is significantly better than Anker. Just in case I submitted a ticket with Mugen asking if I could return the battery if it proves to be with less capacity than 1950 mAh. Will let you know when they reply.
DaHorse: If Mugen prove to be real 1950 mAh then the price is justified but I guess I will just have to check it by myself.
Meanwhile if there are other forum members that have tested both batteries?

you can check out this thread to see people's performance in regards to the Mugen battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220518
It seems like its pretty definitive that the Mugen will indeed outperform the Anker. the problem is their store is out of stock until december 9th so you can't even get it for a reasonable price until at least then. Also, don't forget about the review done at batteryboss.org in which the reviewer showed that they might not be as great of a brand name as you thought.

As said, my vote goes to the Mugen.

Darn it, just ordered an Anker... Maybe give it a try and then buy the Mugen half december to compare. Didn't spot the Mugen topic btw.

I vouch for mugen too. Mines (htc evo 3d 1950mah) lasts almost a full day on heavy use. Plus the temp sensors work unlike anker.

I have the Mugen and am very happy with it. I used to get home from work with 40 - 45% battery left on stock. Now with the Mugen I have 60 - 65% left

For me there is no real question...I don't know what is Anker...just saw a lot of spamming everywhere on how cheap and cool it is.
I know that I'm a Mugen fan for their quality, service and social presence. When it comes to performance - I'm using Mugen 3300mAh for a year already on my Nexus S and know at least two people with HTC phones who cannot live without their batteries. I don't mind giving extra 30-40$ for good quality, support, warranty and facebook presence for such a niche brand. Mugen rocks!

I already have the Anker and am pretty happy with it but I'm considering getting the Mugen as well. Can't decide though..

Lol if anything your post sounds more like spam. I know mugen is a good brand obviously, but the anker thread is 120+ pages for a reason. not just spam.
also, why do you care about a brand's "social presence"?

Hello my friends,
sorry for my question here but i wouldn´t like to open a new thread for my question.
Also, who can i buy a original Mugen Accu for my Sensation. My original HTC Accu have enough power for me but i like a little bit more and i think Mugen is the best way or does the anker pass to me better?
Yours sincerely
BS
PS: Sorry i´m not so good in english

There is no app for that. You need hardware to check the power of the battery.

what about Chichitec? $20 on amazon

I think Chichitec and Anker are almost the same in performance. I'd go for Anker because of its lower price.

I just shelled out for a Mugen battery. Why did I go for Mugen over Anker? Well, the reason is a bit lame, but I just don't feel right buying that sort of thing from (and only from) eBay, of all places...

both types are made in same factory in china?

[Q] Getting a New Battery

I've had my Galaxy S 4G for several months now, and recently the battery life has lessened during daily use.
I originally used a 1700mAh genuine Samsung battery (forgive me it may have been 1650), but switched over to some backup batteries I have that are 1500mAh.
The 1500's don't have the same life, so I'd like to buy something better.
I found a 2000mAh on eBay, but would that require a new battery door? The seller does not indicate the battery size. Is it possible to get a 2000mAh battery for my 4G S that is the same size as the original battery?
Any suggestions and response are appreciated. Thanks! - Jamie

as far as I know, there's only one fairly decent battery that will fit your phone as is. and that would be the 1800 mAh battery. there's a thread about it in the accessories section, you should look it up

Thanks for your suggestion. Doesn't seem to be the sort of question many want to answer.
They sell 1800mAh batteries on eBay for 2.99, so I think its worth a shot. I just don't want to get a battery that requires a new door, or makes my phone thicker.

Just saying, you get what you paid for. Honestly, IMO you should try to get the OEM samsung battery for the epic 4g touch, or ankler 1800mAh batteries. there was a battery thread somewhere around the vibrant accesories board which someone tested a bunch of batteries, and a lot of the cheaper off-brands had a lower mAh rating than advertised

We shall see. I actually ended up ordering a 2000mAh off eBay for 11.49. The battery was listed as a fit for my phone. I have actually had some good experience in the past buying third-party batteries, specifically for Motorola phone, but, I've also had poor experiences buying knock-off batteries for blackberries that were packaged to look like the genuine thing.
I'll post back, maybe in a week or so when the battery is delivered and I test it.

Best replacement battery in UK for A9191 Desire HD.

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.

2450mah gold stock fit battery for $6.50 shipped...

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
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

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.
