Figured I'd give this brand a shot. Price was cheap, and found that it comes with a sensation specific standalone battery charger as compared to the universal ones. Kind of cool when you have a dozen universal ones.
No results on the battery itself yet, but I did order the Laza EVO 3D extended battery, hoping to use it with a Mugen extended housing for the Sensation. Unfortunately, while the EVO 3D uses the same battery, it's installed facing the wrong way, so a double battery won't work. So I took it apart, and found that in between the two batteries, underneath the Laza sticker, it says 1700mah. So I'm assuming it's the same battery used for the single battery model, which is promising.

Is this the one you are talking about?
Yes. Pad order to $25 for free shipping
Take a look at the same 2 pack + charger from Chichitec. It's identical, except Chichitec puts a far more ridiculous sticker on the batteries
I saw at least another similar package by an equally questionable brand (but forgot the name). I must say that this Laza is the cheapest (and the most honest) of the bunch
Anyway, I think they are all good, even though buying them is a bit of a lottery. At least I'm satisfied with my Chichi

Ok - I just stumbled across something on ebay.
One seller is suggesting (I think) that a Nokia BL5c battery works with the Desire?
htxp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WORLDWIDE-BATTERY-TRAVEL-CHARGER-KIT-FOR-HTC-DESIRE_W0QQitemZ350340077535QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_AudioTVElectronics_PDAsAccessories_PDACharger?hash=item5191e557df#ht_4597wt_1167
Anyone shed any light on this?
Hmm, not sure about a nokia battery in the Desire. If sources are to be believed it uses the same battery as the Nexus One. A quick (albeit not very thorough) google search on the battery listed in the ebay add suggests it's around 1100mAh? That's less than the Desire's original battery capacity. You can get a 1600mAh battery from Seidio - available from mobilefun - they have a good track record with non-OEM batteries:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/seidio-innocell-extended-life-battery-htc-desire-p24215.htm
This fits in the same space as the current one. There is an even greater extended battery (3200mAh) however requires a new battery compartment door, and as it's marketed for the nexus one there is no desire door as yet (plus IMHO negates the point of having such a beautiffuly slim phone...
If you need all the charging bits, then go ahead and buy from the listing - though I'd be wary about putting such a cheap battery in my expensive new phone... Alternatively, invest in a nice retractable microUSB sync cable and you should be able to find USB charging sources around, or travel with any USB-power outlet adaptor.

it´s same the battery of nexus and htc desire ?¿?¿
Nexus One battery = Desire battery
Same part number; BA-S410 (HTC) 1400mAh.

ok thanks, are you sure ?¿?¿
Yes, sure. As I said, same part number from HTC. Both phones made by HTC. Also another forum member in a different thread bought the Nexus One Seidio battery and used it in desire without issue.
If you go for the extended Seidio (1600mAh) make sure not to go for the 3200mAh option - as you will NOT fit the back cover on the phone.

anyone got the 1600 mah one yet?

Mobilefun said they will let me know when its in stock. i've pre ordered mine. should get it next week.
We need to find out if anyone has a battery that is bigger than 1500 mah. It looks like the Optimus 2x uses the same battery so I would hope someone has a 1650 or 1800 mah out there. Let me know if a source is found. It would be nice to have an external wall charger as well.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Or maybe a dock with spare battery charger on the back to at least hold a stock battery to charge
Check on Ebay every few days. I haven't seen one yet but they make it for most phones. The batteries are thicker than the standard ones and it also comes with a different rear cover to accept the thicker battery. It is usually from China and around $15 or so.

the optimus 2x has been out for a while, and there's nothing yet.. I agree.. probably will be out soon. too bad they can't pack more punch into the same size.. don't want to make my phone any thicker.. I'll have a case for it where it wont' fit in then..

Sometimes there are extended batteries made that are the same exact size as the stock one but have a larger capacity. For example, I bought a Seidio extended 1750mAh battery for my Droid X which was the same size as the original battery but had about 250 more mAh to it...it gave me a couple more hours on one charge. Hopefully something similar is made for the G2X!
Maybe a bunch of us should just write to seidio and ask them to start on developing one for us...

That's the nice thing about the Seidio ones. They are a legit company, and they can usually squeeze an extra 150-400 mAh out of the standard size battery. They aren't too terribly expensive, either. I am thinking for now, though, I may have to give one of those ebay ones with the separate battery charger a try....I have had good luck with ebay laptopt batteries, so....it might be worth the $20 for it.
Also, I will start spamming Seidio's twitter. Lol.

Seidio slim extended batteries are usually way lower than what they state. Just run a quick search on here...bottom line, you may as well use the stock battery in most cases.

Actually, they just re-label their inferior batteries with bigger mAh numbers and make a big profit for their efforts.
No company has ever made a legitimate higher capacity OEM size battery ever.
I've spend hundreds of dollars on batteries just to rip them apart, document my findings and test.

Agreed. Seidio does make some legit extended batteries, like the 2500 and 3500 mAh one's they put out for the EVO and Droid X, etc... but the ones that are the same size as the stock battery don't hold any extra juice, they take advantage of the loop hole in the rules concerning how companies can label batteries.
Batteries have a range of mAh that they hold. Say the battery in our device has a range of 1300 to 1700 mAh, most companies will use the average and label the battery at 1500 mAh. Seidio on the other hand will label theirs on the high end of the range at 1700 mAh, which is perfectly within their right to do, but is rather deceiving to the consumer.

There is no range. All the OEM batteries I've tested were within 3% of their tagged rating.
Regarding Seidio, there is no explanation as to why their "same size & higher capacity" batteries consistently deliver less power than an OEM battery.
But don't let me stop anyone from buying their snake oil.
Regarding Mugen, that first link shows a disassembled 3000mAh battery that contained 2 1200mAh cells. I call it fraud, plain and simple. They all do it, I've proved it.
i just ended up getting this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N63AC6 . i have a body glove case and they're a pain to snap off everytime i want to replace my battery while at work. for me, this is much easier.
now if they made a good extended battery with a custom back cover like i had on my g1, i'd get it.

You ever tested any of the batteries from htc express? Those seem to work well.
Currently I am using Veho 5Ah external battery while I am waiting for 2 more batteries.
With regular microUSB cable, it works fine.

Definitely stay away from the 1600mah. I saw those and I emailed one of the buyers.. and asked him for his input on the battery b4 I made a purchase. He said "stay away, they are junk and only hold a charge for a couple of hours. save your money."
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.
What to you think of these Batteries?

I bought Andida 1800mAh battery and to be honest... I don't see any difference. At least seller gave me a screen protector for free...
Interesting topic.
Here's what I got as information.
The first battery seems to me interesting and testing.
The second I bought it, it is unreliable and can not calibrate it. There is no control chip battery. This is also why it is not expensive.
The third is to avoid. A battery with dimensions of origins can not exceed 2000mAH
I've looked through a few threads and it seems there are two ways to get a 'good battery':
1. Official HTC battery from HTC accessory site.
2. Mugen high quality battery

I agree with you ...
I tested the batteries above and none are valid.
It is better to buy an original or a Mugen
I have 3000 mAh battery with replacement back cover. Too bad the shop I got it from went out of business soon after. Added some weight and about doubled the thickness but works like a charm. No need to charge every night anymore!
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.
