Will they make the phone last longer?

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!

[Q] 1600mah battery?

UK company BMC Digital claims to have a 1600mah battery for the Desire HD... for just 6.50 UKP. That can't be right, surely?
They also have a 1230mAh battery for 16.95 UKP, which seems more believable.
Sorry that I can't post the links yet, as I'm a new user.
The typical capacity of a battery is one thing but what they print on the label is another thing! I think, it's impossible to improve the original battery 1230 mAh about 370 mAh to 1600 mAh and sell it for less than the half price.

Well I just bought one for the hell of it, will let you know it's performance probably this time next week.
I got 2 of them 1600mAh with a bundle from good old ebay. I've been using them and they last at least as long as the original but not convinced they last much longer....
At least they work! so far
Cheers,
hey do you think it will be possible to make extended batteries (with cover) for dhd? because it has unibody

I don't think so, the battery have to be relatively the same size as the original battery, especially when the battery cover is used as antenna too.
try here for batteries - including extended one...
here is the link...
go to mugen-power-batteries dot com and then to the htc-desire section...
There is only one in the list.
its 1300mAh for 45$.
Very expensive and not very usefull.
Only 70mAh more -.-
So I used the one that was delivered for a couple of days, and let me tell you it is utter 'DOG-EGG' it doesn't last anywhere near as long as the original, but £6.50 for a spare ain't half bad.
Hi
Seen the following battery on ebay:
1600mAh Standard Replacement Battery For HTC Desire HD
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1600mAh-Stand...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item20b7cc5ca5
Has anyone bought this, and what do you think of this. I know its very cheap
Please give feedback, thanks
personally I think its a bit risky especially at the price they offering..
i still think the stock batteries from htc are the best

I have 2 of thoes batteries and I can tell you they work fine but they are not 1600mAh they say 1600mAh on them but last no longer than the oringinal battery.

are 3000mAh batteries any good?

there are a lot of 3000mAh batteries on ebay... that are not expensive.. are they any good? how much more battery life will i get?
anyone has tried one of those 3000mah batteries?
EBay ones tend to be crap. Mugen s 3200mah is good and does the job reliabiy

Mugen is pretty expensive.. any other cheaper but good brand/model?
i am using mugen 3200, i will score it 8.5/10, the bad points are the case very loose and blocked flash light in a certain degree.
Nothing some blutack wont fix. And no I don't know. There's a post further down documenting some people's experiances with ebay if you want to look for it

Well if you willing to sacrifice your phone's look go ahead and try it, but it will get very ugly with that thickness...

Where can i buy one of those? i never seen such a big battery.
Remember you'll always get what you pay for. If you want a second battery buy an orginal one.
thx for all your advices
i finally opted for an oem battery for desire/nexus one
I'm got the 3200mAh from saido. It's a great battery and worth its price!

The "ebay" batteries tends to have smaller capacity than announced.

(can't post links)
Exacly...anything over original 1400 is bs in my opinion. I've heard about 3000mAh for HTC Evo but that battery is much bigger in size and require custom back case.
i got myself a 3200mAh mugen battery from the states best thing i ever did lasting for 5 days now on one charge
I bought a 3000mAh Extended Battery from the seller.

battery case is included. i think it is ok.

what rom are you on when you have 5 days duration ?
It's great if you want your battery to last days without charge but terrible if you want a nice sleak phone due to the fact that the 3200amh batteries add extra thickness to the phone which really makes it look ugly in my opinion. Mugen power batteries are really good though they are expensive. I'd be weary about buying from eBay because although they may be cheaper, a lot of the times they're not the capacity stated and have bad quality lithium ions that simply don't hold a charge!
Can I buy it in Ukraine? Somebody know?
I have a 3000mAh battery, but the only way I can get a full charge is with an external charger.
Then I can get between 3-4days from 1 charge.
Charging the 3000mAh in my phone, doesn't seem to last any longer than a standard battery.

[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.

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?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261107435027?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
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

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.
3500mAh
On amazon.com /3500mAh-Extended-Battery-T-Mobile-Universal/dp/B0091WZMT2
When I saw this, I was like WHAAAAAAAT ???
And then I saw this, and I was like whaaaaat :crying: ????
