These 3rd party batteries dont really offer what they say probably its even worse than the stock 1500mAh

alright. if anyone have tested this batt pls feedback

so did you end up buying the mugen 1600mAH battery ? If yes, how did it go ?

Mugen batteries are very good. I used to own one for a samsung PDA i had a while back and was far superior to other 3rd party batteries i tried.
I can't imagine you getting much out of an extra 100mah though? For example if you get 8 hours use from the device you would expect a return of around 8.5 hours with the extra 100mah. Of course this is an approximation but it gives you an idea. Just take the time you normally get from the current battery and divide by 15 then times by 16 and you will get a very rough estimate as to how much will be gained.

Thanks for the info. I bought a third party (not Mugen) 1500mAh battery but the battery life is much shorter than the original battery , so i was just wondering if this Mugen 1600mAh one is really slightly better than my original samsung battery

I got this Mugen 1600mAh battery last week. It works great. To me, it lasts much longer than my original 1500mAh battery (about 3-4 hrs more). I highly recommend it.

Can anyone confirm this to be true?

Check out http://batteryboss.org/
You'll be lucky if a higher mAh battery designed to fit in the standard bay, even ones from branded third parties like Andida or Mugen, will be as good as the OEM.
Avoid the ebay non branded, loads of re-badged rubbish not even close to the printed value.

I have found this on their site and sounds good. Any experience with their batteries?

Yet another Battery Review thread

Batteries were bought from these sellers:
from hk_yuqian (1800mAH)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150541501350&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
from emmaxie126 (1500mAH)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250755462532&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
and the stock 1300mAH battery, one month old.
from chichitec (1800mAH Evo 4G)
http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html
Capacities were measured down to 3.1V's (well below the point where you phone will no longer power up from the battery)
Stock battery capacity = 1099mAH
Anonymous 1500mAH = 990mAH (Only 843mAH on the second)
Anonymous 1800mAH = 1224mAH
Chichitec 1800mAH = 1386mAH
As a side note, the 1800mAH battery ordered from above had a space under the sticker to fill the battery up to the full form factor of the EVO, so a real 1800mAH battery will probably fair even better.
The discharge graph is attached

Bumping this because I cant believe you put up actual test and number and no one cares to blow this up like the 10 other threads!!.. Id love to know what the 1800 will be at in after a few charges? for 5ish bux its worth it to have an extra hour or two as long as it doesn't surprise you one day and last 2 hrs.

The fact it lasts longer than the stock battery by 20% is already rather nice for just $5.

For Archive Purpose
I will test the 1800 again in a few weeks.
However it is the 1500mAH ones that I worry about with their sporadic discharge pattern.

Have you had a chance to test the mugen 1800?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

How did you test it? I wouldn't mind being able to test a battery I've got coming to me.

I based the design off of this instructable:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-True-Battery-Capacity-Tester-Li-IonNiMH/
The thing about the design is that you have to calibrate it yourself, just once, because the code used on the arduino wants to know the exact resistance value of your dummy load.
You can google some ways to get a more accurate reading of your load to get truer numbers.
But with the original htc battery testing at 1100mAH's of its 1300maH's after several months of use, I figured mine was accurate enough.
But accuracy aside, it is very consistant. I checked the new battery twice, and it gave the exact same results each time. So all the results are highly accurate when just compairing to each other.

Awesome results ! Any info on the Mugen 1800 ?

I think I have enough batteries at the moment, so i can't justify the Mugen 1800. It was fun testing them all though and knowing exactly which one was the best.
Even I thought those first two 1500mAH batteries gave the "15% better battery life" than stock. So it is nice to take the guess work out of it and know it was all in my head.

1500mah "OEM" Battery?

Has anyone purchased one of these so-called OEM batteries?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OEM-1500mAh-...141606?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255ecad726
This one claims to be a Desire Z OEM battery rated at 1500mah. Isn't the OEM battery only 1300mah or was there another one that was released?
Also, has anyone any luck with the 3500mah ebay extended batteries? How are the doors and are they at least 2600mah?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/3500mAh-Exte...863751?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5642245107

Yeah, I see on T-Mobile's website, the G2 also has 1300mAh. I wouldn't recommend buying a third party battery though, just watch this video about a PSP having a third party battery.
http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/psp-explodes-in-pocket/172723

It's a matter of buying a good, name brand battery. 3rd party or OEM doesn't matter if it's a good quality and the listed mAh rating is accurate. You get what you pay for 90% of the time...

eBay is filled with counterfeits, and lots of items marked "OEM" when they aren't OEM. I'd stay away from buying things like batteries and SD memory from eBay, unless you know for fact the seller is offering legit goods.
The pic looks hokey, also. It looks like a stick-on label, instead of the screen printing I've see on HTC OEM batteries. I'd be willing to bet this is a knockoff, misrepresented by seller, etc.

I can vouche for HTCpedia having purchased several extended batteries from there myself
Here's there Desire Z section
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-desire-z/accessories/batteries.html

I recently purchased the Anker, I believe, 1600mah from amazon. Battery life is better than the OEM.

I would personally stick with the stock 1300mah battery, and UC the cpu to save battery life. Unless your original battery has gone bad and you need to replace it altogether. I'm always weary about 3rd party accessories.

The Incredible S has a 1500mah battery that's the same size. I'm not sure where to get one in Canada though (can anyone enlighten me?).
For that matter, if the Anker is available in Canada I'd be interested in knowing where too.

I have links below that sell Anker Batteries.

Based on the price for the battery listed, this may be a little out of your range, but I picked up this one on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8RWLG
And it really picked up the slack from the 1300mah OEM battery, and still fits under the stock battery cover
HTH

Battery life on my G2, even when overclocked to 1512Mhz on the stock CM kernel, is pretty good. HTC has been really slacking off with battery life lately *coughDOUBLESHOTcough*.

Well, I've received my Anker 1600mah battery.
Since it doesn't claim the world, I'm thinking it might actually be true (unlike the Seidio or Mugen "1900mah" batteries that end up only 1300mah).
Even if it's just 1300mah, the price is right =)

Can you post any "Better battery stats" logs or verify how much capacity it actually has?

Interestingly enough, I have some records from the tests I've been running this weekend. This battery has been surprisingly decent considering I only expected 1300mah (from the advertised 1600mah) out of it.
Code:
ILWT 285
1.5GHz Performance
Airplane Mode
Minimum brightness
MX Player SW Fast
Stretch Mute
Battery discharged to 89% before recharging back to 100% waiting for the trickle recharge to stop before starting video and unplugging. Device running until 15% warning which is dismissed and then run until device auto shuts off.
Anker - Claimed 1600mah
375minutes
~250ma
1562mah
97.6%
HTC OEM 1300mah (1.5 years old)
274minutes
~250ma
1141mah
87.8%
I also ran another test with slightly different settings (which meant it couldn't be compared) where the average drain was 300ma:
319minutes
~300ma
1595mah
99.7%
The test is as consistent as I could make it since I only have my phone to discharge the battery with.
With that said, I have heard some non-OEM batteries lose their capacities faster than the OEM ones. I plan to do this test again at the 1 year mark.

I haven't tried those "OEM" batteries before but I've heard a lot of good reports on the "MUGEN" ones. Supposedly, if you follow the instructions, it'll function as it's suppose to (meaning it'll last long).

I'd recommend anyone looking for a extended battery to get a EVO Design 4G battery! It fits in our device perfectly at 1520 mah A BIG JUMP from our 1300 mah stock oem batteries.
Most if not all 'after market' batteries die out quicker and don't live up to the battery life that there claiming to. . .
Here's a few tests that were run on all batteries (stock and after market) and HTC's stock batteries performed the best giving the mah and battery life that they claimed to

Mugen Power 1600mAh Extended Battery for For HTC Desire

Comments of Mugen Power Batteries from Facebook user Val Komissarov
Hey, Mugen. I just installed your 1600 mAh battery for HTC Desire (properly charged for circa 9 hrs) on my HTC Desire running an Oxygen-based AOSP ROM (Android 2.3.7) and had two phone shutdowns when the battery charge was between 90 and 80 percent. That's something that never happened to me before while I'd been using native HTC battery. The ROM itself is extremely reliable and battery efficient. Any clues on that?
on the other hand, after 2.5 weeks of usage I must express my dissatisfaction with the product: the battery hardly lasts as long as the original HTC battery. I did everything per instruction, my ROM and usage patterns remain unchanged, so it's got to be the Mugen battery.

Could just be a faulty battery. Cant damn an entire product for one bad apple. I work in RMA's and see it all the time. "your product is supposed to last xxx times, it didnt even work once, false advertising!!!" My reply, bad units happen no matter what you buy. My other notice is, that is for the desire, not the desire HD. two different phones and two different batteries. Mugen only sells a 1500mah for desirehd/inspire.

Really? Ok, then I probably almost gonna buy a wrong one.
Thanks either!

There's a thread floating around somewhere which explains why the Mugen and similar high capacity batteries are no better than the standard HTC one.
The HTC branded battery can use ~90% of its capacity whereas other only use ~80%.
I don't recall the exact numbers but it works out that, although the capacity is lower, more of it is usable.

Or they are the exact same and Mugen is just rebranding it.

So u r saying it does not worth buying? Either does not have any chang, or it is so minor that it is pointless?

1500 mah akku :good:

Buy it if it's cheaper than genuine HTC batteries, but don't pay more than genuine HTC battery prices, because they are all the same capacity.

Yeah I saw on their website, only 1500 mamph Desire HD batts

To be honest, I have tried some batteries and have ended up coming back to original HTC batttery because they all have similar response and don´t want the battery to melt inside my phone and fck both,the battery and phone.

I did not have a good mugen experience either, it did not had shutdown but the battery charge never last as long as advertized... And I did try every single mod or tweak in the forum, for me it was just like a regular htc battery.

So there is no point in a battery upgrade on Desire HD?

I got one of those 2450 mah (supposedly) batteries and much to my complete lack of surprise it was only 1230 mah.
It was only $8 so I thought I'd give it a try. But at least I have a spare battery that's a little better than the 1 3/4 year-old HTC battery I was using before.

Is there any differences with cost between original battery and mugen? Mugen seems a little expensive for me and plus, cargo price. Or Is it really worth to buy Mugen?

I've been using my phone for over 2 years now and battery lasts 12 hours aprox. ..so i'm considering either a new battery or that powerskin thingy..what do you guys suggest?

Review Mugen Power 1950mAh Extended Battery

SKU: HLI-APX515CSL
Cell Type: Li-ION
Voltage: 3.7v
Capacity (mAh): 1950
Battery Door: Not Required
Rom used: my own kwbr rom
Kernel: stock kernel ICS 4.0.3
In the past I purchased several extended batteries from Mugen. I bought batteries for the hTC Wildfire, Sensation, Desire Z, HD2 and Google Nexus S. Needless to say why. Running these android devices for a full day on heavy usage can be a challenge on it's own. Besides running my own roms the battery is the first thing I replace to get better battery life.
The Mugen 1950mAh for the Sensation came in the known package including quick start guide how to calibrate the battery. Shipped the day after ordering it arrived within about 2 weeks.
The 1950mAh has a perfect fit. No need to replace the cover or fix things. First I calibrated the battery. After a few months of usage I can say the battery is great. Regular day, several calls, 2hours BT connection with nokia carkit. Reading emails and some browsing. After almost 11 hours usage and still 80% battery. That's better then I used to get with the stock battery.
The Verdict
A good battery. Although it is not cheap I consider it a must have for power users that don't want a bulky backcover with the hTC Sensation. You still need to charge the phone on a daily basis with moderate or heavy usage but at least it will last the day instead of the stock battery.

WHat the
dude 11 hours with that usage and still 80% ?! I should buy that battery. I wish the price could be cheaper though

How much did you pay for the battery?and did you order it direct from mugen?why did it take so long to get it is possible to get it in a few days.

@ kwbr
I just want to know your configuration so I have few questions
Which ROM you have? Is it GB or ICS?
Which kernel you're using? Did you change clock speed?

I would also like to see screen on time, I imagine it's next to none.

I have Mugen second week. I can use sensation couple hours longer without charging. Also notice some improvement with screen on time.
But for me it is to early for review. I will write my opinion after a longer time of using it.
I will try to add some screenshots in next few days.
edit:
Here are some screenshot
Soon I will add more to show battery life with heavy load

yea i seen that too. i would rather look at the posts with heavy use on the battery, instead of standby most of the time and barely have any time for screen on. of course, if the screen is barely on and most of the time on standby mode. the battery drain will be very minimal
