My arrive has been going strong swapping my batteries out of a charging Touch Pro2. This in result has got me 2 power cycled batteries. I haven't fully charged out of my Arrive since new. Who likes waiting for a charge? Anyone using a higher then 1500mah battery? Was looking to buying a mugen 1800mah battery from an HTC Hero for around 34 bucks. They seem to be a little cheaper for some reason. It's the same battery type as the Touch Pro2, Evo, Incredible and possibly others.
I thought about putting an Evo battery in, but I am able to get two days on a charge as is, and frankly if I ever plan to be away from home for more than one night, I pack my charger anyways.
Hey guys I just got my Anker Battery 2 days ago and it says to let it charge and discharge about 5 times before getting better results. So far so good and its getting better. I'm on my 2nd charge but just so im clear on something here...
By charge to discharge does it mean to charge to 100% (turning the phone off) then discharge to 0% ( phone shuts off) and charge to 100% again 5 times? Been doing that and im not charging in between so it's a mess when it runs out while I'm not home (happened today!)
Also: any suggestions or opinions on the product so far?
Ps:was in supposed to clear the battery stats or something?

I only do it 3 times.
As soon as I get the battery I turn it on & run it into the ground. After it's shut off from a dead battery I plug it in & let it charge with the device still off. When the charging light turns green I turn the phone on & run it into the ground again. Rinse & repeat for 3 cycles.
I love my Anker battery. I get way better battery life with it versus stock & it doesn't overheat like it the stock one does. I use one, my buddy with another Sensation does as well, & my mom with her MyTouch 4G has one too. All are outstanding!
Sounds good...i should try it too

just ordered my anker yesterday - i think the 5 times advise is the same like deleting the battery stats - more a software then hardware related thing
Sounds like your training your phone to establish effective range. Personally I would run it into the ground five times, but some people say It's okay to charge when It's under 10%. Better safe than sorry is what i think. U only have two more cycles to go, suck it up.

I have had mine for a few weeks now and it is getting me at least an extra 20% with heavy usage...
Even the new Sensation XE only gets a 1750mAh battery I have read today...still under powered imo
The XE proves that the base Sensation we all have is definately underclocked and that running at 1.5GHz is quite safe...
Hi with an anker battery do you have to take the battery out of the phone each time to charge it? I saw it came with a battery charger where you insert battery into charger.
Can it still be charged normally thru the phones micro usb port? I don't want to have to take my phone battery out at all once installed but was looking into 1900mah battery.
It can charge like the normal battery or you can use it the other way with the wall charger. I just leave mine in my phone and charge it that way. Keep in mind that the anker says 1900mah but you actually get 1740mah which you can get from the evo 3d battery and that one has a sensor unlike the anker one.
Link to the evo 3d battery. Just giving you options buddy

Sweet thanks for the info
I bought the anker battery and it sucked for me, stock battery gives me more battery lifetime.

I brought an anker battery and althougg it works really well, giving me around 5 hours extra life it got really hot the one time i charged it through the phone.
Now i charge it through the wall charger supplied and its fine

I have the Anker also, I'm at my seconde charging cycle now and can already say that battery life improved a lot! I'm almost 24h on battery now, 8 hours airplane mode but 16 hours WiFi/mobile data on, autosync enabled, moderate usage (screen on ~3 hours).
what should i say - still 43% juice remaining and still potential, cause you need about 5 cycles before you can really say what's going on.
Also it never got hot, did use micro-usb charging... So - Anker rulez
Do anker sells in single battery? Most offers comes with 2 battery and a charger
An example
Has anyone tried both the Anker and the Evo 3D battery and compared these two?
I have the Anker 1900mah battery but Battery monitor widget says the battery is only 1580mah???

It's because it only reads what phone it is to get capacity not the battery itself.

so it is. in my opinion the anker battery is much better than the original and i could charge it like the "normal" battery
Works very well with me.. I have it fire last 2 Weeks and it gives 25% extra time and doesn't get hot like stock one...
I charge it in my phone...
It's worth getting the two battery and charger combo. My battery life has dropped quite a bit after 3 months on the anker, but it's still better than stock by a landslide.
If you get either the anker or evo 3d battery you need a good kernel to pair it up for max performance. Don't expect to play games for 11hour straight and then complain about battery lasting only 5 hrs. I have the anker and i get at least 9 hrs of usage on heavy usage and 16 hrs on medium usage. I would at this point go with the evo 3d battery because it's directly from htc and hell it's cheap why not?!

Bat Monitor Widget defaults to 1580mah you can set it to any amount in settings. Its not a true refection of the battery capacity.
I just ordered mine but did not get the charger. Have you tried charging again to replicate the heating issue?
I guess i did something wrong with my anker.
battery monitor widget is only measuring about 1200 mAh. It measured 1540 on the stock. I'm on 6th cycle or so. For sure more than 5...
Any Idear?
Have you let it completely die out and then charged it? What's your usage like? If I play games on my phone nonstop then I'll get only 6hours but if i just text, answer a couple calls and Google search something I'll get 12-19 hours.

I would like to know this also.
Hi there, just wanted to know what is the best way to store a battery which won't be in use anymore..I bought a 1900mah Anker for my sensation off of ebay. Arrived in packaging from Amazon.. Anyways do I fully discharge the official HTC battery and put it away or charge it to 100% and then store it away. I don't want the battery to leak or get damaged as I won't be using it anymore. Any help would be appreciated
You should put it in your refrigerator as ions and chemical breaks down are slowed in constant cool temperature make. Put it in a shelve with humidity control on low.

As for battery levels. Keep it around 40-50%. Do not drain it..

This.
Neither full nor empty. Notice the state of charge of the Anker when you first got it?
Yep your right mate, I took my original battery out at 52% and upon inserting the anker it was already at 60%. Said to charge it fully and let it drain. Complete charge is done. Let's see how long it lasts. I know its not even had 1 cycle yet but its been 100% for about an hour now

The Anker rules..
I brought new battery for my sensation
It is a stock like looking battery.. i think it is sort of a Chinese battery..
mobile data was on.. all the day..
is this battery back up good ?
I have an xe and after more than one and half years I get this much. So I guess you're ok (sensation has a 1500 mAh battery compared to xe's 1700 mAh).
You can get greenify from the play store to increase battery life. Just saying.
Happy to help.
11h battery on a single battery life is average for any sensation so u are ok specially with data on (on wifi u get more) .I also get 11-13 h battery normally
Thanks buddy
now i am :angel:
you're lucky my battery drains in 5 hours and thats with light use.
If this is an average battery life whats the max? My maximum screen on time on my sensation XE is 3 hours on a 16 hour day. My battery charges in about 8 hours. If i change my battery will i be able to get a bit more juice?
