which one will live longer as in year or more ?
I heard that the Mugen and others lose the ability to hold charge faster than the stock ones ?
I bought a third party one off ebay and it stopped holding charge in about 4 month.
Although the mAh has high numbers on these batteries, they don't make a difference in usage time with the original htc batteries imo.

If you are into DIY, I would recommend using the Sensation battery mod. If you want a second battery, not as replacement, it is always better to use stock battery for longer lasting.
Read through the Mugen threads on this forum (and other devices' accessories forums).
I think the feedback is generally positive.
After 1 year, my OEM battery was OK, but far from its original capacity (subjective, but still). So any "good" phone battery will degrade over time, it's a very punishing environment.
I don't know how the Mugen will be after 1 year - I hope it's OK, since I bought one 2 months ago. The 1500mAh seems real, and it's started well for me.
I think the Mugen is actually cheaper than a replacement HTC battery (don't even think about the ebay rip-offs), so since they are well constructed I think it makes sense to buy one of theirs.
Also consider a battery pack, you can get a good (NewTrent) 5000mAh pack for €25 or so off Amazon. They are even made with a 11000mAh capacity...
Stock battery is the best option. Mugen has not that much more capacity, and is 4 times more expensive.
I replaced my old one by 1 year, and keep the old one for back-up.

How much is a stock battery for you???
I bought the Mugen one for €32, I think it was, free shipping.
In HTC's online store their battery is on sale at €40. Could be cheaper elsewhere, but I really doubt you'll find one for €8.
They are for sale for around €10 on Ebay. Bought mine here in The Netherlands for €13...
That is much cheaper then the Mugen, I'm not paying triple for maybe a few Mah more.
And all original items in the HTC shop are way overpriced;p

Beware of most of those cheap original batteries. Although original, they are refurbished items. So they are used items, usually from returned phones, or dead phones, or whatever. So they're not new.
Sometimes, mostly not. Most of them are brand new, and if not the seller attents you on this.

Unfortunately I made both experience on ebay. It seems like luck which one you get.
My stock battery was really down after one and a half year usage. It didn't reach a whole day anymore... But I bought a new stock version.
Well if you don't trust it on Ebay, lots of shops in the UK/US sell them for a little bit more, just as were I bought mine.
Everyone who wants to pay more for almost the same, buy yourself a Mugen

Thats what I thought too, as it's the same size. still wanted to give it a testdrive, It's only the price of a Mc Donalds happymeal and free shipping so I ordered one for fun. Will post my findings after is properly calibrated.
Its not too great.....its not too bad. for what you paid....you get a battery than the stock on. Have been using it for a month now.
I'd love to hear your experience with it. Let us know! If it's any good, I'll be buying it...

I think the real capacity will be about 1100Mah zo 130 less then the original battery, as i'm in China right now I went one day on path to find me a spare battery for mine DHD and many just asked to high prices and I hadnt any faith that those higher Mah's would be really true.
So after looking at so many small shops in Guangzhou I came at this shop where the girl first needed look, being suprised that they where not selling battery's with false Mah's on, in fact it was a 1100Mah and I bought it just for 30rmb, all other sellers asked me about 40 a 50, one even dared ask more then 80.
The brand is Speedy, its a brand from Hongkong speedycom.hk/
It's to bad such brands wouldnt survive on eBay because most people will just go for the higher number even though the higher number is just a lie.
im interesting too
Money aside, is there any proven/better batteries for the desire hd?

No the original htc battery is IMO the best battery on the market.
Guys, honestly I can't understand why you all want to try something that has been tried and proved several times to be fake.
Those guys make money on their lies and you help them expand and design their next lie which we will have to buy again before we realise the truth.
My opinion is that all people who bought similar batteries should return them and request refund because what they bought was not what was described. You bought a 1800/1500 or whatever mAh battery which was really 1240. If eBay or Paypal is involved, you can claim your money very easily.
buying batteries from these mass production factories from china is playing with your life dude....either they will short circuit your mobile board, else it will just blow up under slight increase of temperature.... please be caution and use only when your main original battery dies off and use this as backup and not for long hours usage....
also need a better battery

Is there anyway to check the actual power of the battery? I bought a 1600mah off ebay and it does seem to last a couple of hours longer than the original, but that might be cos i started using a custom rom after i bought it lol

This is reason why we better should use External battery packs...
Of course best of them cost much... but still your DHD maybe will live longer.
Thanks for info about Andida 1800MhA almost bought it. I will wait some time maybe there will be better one in future....
When I had a HTC Hero I had one such 1800mha peace of junk it lasted couple of hours and one day just stopped working I will never make the same mistake again.
These "batteries" are cheep for a reason.....
Made in Japan, very high capacity, they`ve sold 275 already:

Any feedback?
like nearly all batterys from japan or china or that are made in china/japan are dirt tbh only decent one out the are anker batterys or mugen batterys
If there are higher capacity batteries on the market, why on earth HTC doesn`t fit them in their phones directly so we don`t have to buy them?
this battery
There has been other Threads about this battery if you go and look, it turns out to be 1570 mah the same as the oem and it wieght the the same as oem too, this info is coming from other thread please go and look, this battery has been test all ready and found to be fake!!!! If it was real it would be on back order by now, because you not the only one looking for a bigger longer battery!!! Once again check the other threads!!! Thank you
Just buy the anker battery from Amazon, I am using it and get roughly 36 hours on with with heavy usage.

Total piece of junk!!! Stay away from it, better off buying the Anker one that is circulating around. seems to be very popular and it works for me. That Japanese one keeps freezing my phone. I think that thing will damage your phone if you keep messing with it.
Yeah I don't think you should buy this. I usually buy my batteries from HTC Depot or from T-Mobile. Don't trust anything you get from overseas. I bought a battery once, turned out it was filled with some sort of sand -_-.

someone tried this? someone can expect how much this is good? and etc...
read the feedback on ebay. not 1 good feedback about the batteries and apparently they are only 1700mAh
It is recommended to use only original batteries.
Take a look at Power Pack. I've got one, it's very nice
I want to buy a larger battery too, which one is your suggestion?
Greetz Bonnsay
what is Power Pack @przemcio510
It's kind of backpack for our sgs, cant paste there a link coz im new but type in google "samsung galaxy s power pack" you'll see
it's kind of extra back case of phone
I guess +extra 1500mah
somebody can share a link for a good and strong battery?
better will be that fit our original case...
but if there something that is good and have a massive power (high mAh)
than share it either! plz plz plz!

Look for Anker batteries on ebay, they are 1800mAh instead of the original 1500mAh and apparently good quality (I use two their batteries, so far so good).

buy polarcell batteries! search for it on amazon. They are true 1800 mah and they are considered the best without a new back cover. There's another thread here about that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277647 read some random pages in this threat and you'll see that everybody is happy with their polarcell (better than the anker). i've bought one this week, can't wait for it to arrive

indeed, i would recommend the original battery of the samsung epic 4g, has 1800mAh and fits perfect into the sgs.
i wouldn't recommend third party batteries, they're never worth the money..well, however, i don't like it also, when the phone is so clunky..
Battery
i recommend you to buy samsung 4g battery than fits prity good into the sgs.
my friend did it and have no problem till now
I Had a look at some of these batteries. I currently own the 1800mAh Anker battery. It was slightly cheaper than the Polarcell but it definitely doesn't lack in performance.
Since I bought the Anker I've been getting 2 days of charge running ICS so far. The Polarcell's are apparently better but I was pretty low on cash
If value is what you're worried about go Anker. If you want outright performance go Polarcell!
The el-cheapo 2500mAh aren't worth it. Some reviews have pointed out that they're just relabelled 1200mAh batteries.
For an original part and a little better, try i9003 battery. It has 1650 mAh, it's a little bigger, but if fits perfect, and it last longer. Obviosly. Good luck
I bought the "Polarcell 1800mAh" because I heard much good about it. There are no problems and I'm very happy.
It costs about 13€
A 2500mAh battery should logically be heavier and bigger than a normal one (I mean 1500 here). It can't be sold as a real 2500mAh since you would really need a new supersized battery cover for it.
I've bought a 1800 mAh Polarcell Battery after I read the good reviews here on xda. Now, after 10 months of use, I decide that is the best battery for the SGS. And it doesn't double the housing and the weight.
I am using polarcell 1800mah for two months.Very good!

My battery has been lasting about 30 minutes tops in the last time so i decided to buy a new one (looking back i remember the battery beeing sticky on the back as if something had leaked..).
Got a first one on amazon, obviously fake since it was poorly made, although differences were subtle (the fakers seem to have gotten their hands on the original labeling foils, so these were identical). Also i got weird results in Nexus One battery calibrator app , e.g. 104856mAh for a 1.400mAh battery (see screenshots). Long story short, i sent i back thinking it was impossible to get a genuine batteries on amazon...
So i turned up the official HTC store (cant post the link.. htcaccessorystor dot com) and ordered a Bravo Battery...and was really surprised to see the same allegedly faked values in the Nexus one battery calibrator app....also de foils werent attached tightly in some places and just now wenn i took it out with my fingernail a piece of foil came off. my original htc battery came with the phone 3 years doesnt have a scratch and shows completely different and realistic values. After ~14h of usage (mostly standby) the new battery is now down to 10% and demanded the charger...(not that bad actually but still, with my custom rom it should last a lot longer).
So now I´m asking myselft whether even they are selling us the fakes or what?! Or maybe the fakes have become too good so even they can´t tell lol...
Do the "strange" values from the app prove that the battery has been manipulated?
where are my attachments? edit: there they are...
hey blaxxxun44
Have a look to this screenshot from my phone with a so called "official" battery :
I get two "official" batteries with the same symptom before so I stopped to search anymore.
I get full refund for defective or fake item from the two sellers but this one come from HTCaccessories too ...
maybe I'll buy a mugen power if this one dies ...
Last one with 1 year last 15min... I buy a original battery too and going to receive in 1h (DHL)... Any advice for first time charging?
Interesting..what app was that screenshot with?

buying "original" batteries here in germany is like a lottery (unless you want to pay 30€ in a HTC online store)
its a lot of trial and error until you find a battery that fits well in the phone AND lasts like a real original...
As it seems that I lost my second battery some days ago, I will need to go through this again in the coming weeks.
Wish me luck guys
Buy polarcell battery on ebay from german seller. Great battery!

Anker 1800mAh is the best cheap and ive been using it since a few weeks after the sensation was released, with good battery results compared to stock
I bought a couple of 1900mAh Ankher batteries last year in a bundle that can charge a spare at the wall at the same time as charging from the cable. It means that I always have a spare, though to be honest, I easily get a full day from one, let alone two batteries.
Nice to have the extra in case of long trips etc.
Lots of reviews on Amazon so worth a shot.

Yeah the 1900 mAh battery is what I have too and I really get through the whole day even with heavy use. The one that comes with two batteries and a charger I believe was $30 on amazon.
i also got 1900mAh Ankher. it's wonderful. Full day with one.
