I'm interested in getting a spare battery for this phone, but I'm wondering if for some reason this would be bad for the phone? Like is swapping batteries some how messing up the calibration? Say I used the phone and killed 1 battery and then used other one the rest of the day and I did this every day. Would this impact anything negatively?

Definitely would throw off the calibration, but with the extra kick of a fresh charge you shouldn't feel it
How long have you had your phone? The first could of days the battery life was horrible, but once everything settled, the battery life doubled.
That being said, i found a battery and charger on ebay for 8.95. It's one of the cheap ones, but it's hard to go wrong on a 9 dollar battery.

i know that it is unlikly to get 2430 mah but will it be better than the stock battery?
The jesus battery
Take a search for ebay batteries and you'll find at best they are ok at best, at worst.....but who knows, buy em and if they are what they say they are then spread the word.
I'm gonna call bull to the "Gold Battery", seems a bit off if you ask me
Don't forget that we do have an inspire 4g accessories section where this type of stuff should be posted.
I got your 10 char right here

+1. There is no way the amount of space we have available for our batteries that you are going to get any more energy cells. Its all bull. The stock battery is the best you will get. If you suspect it is not performing its best, take it in to att and they will replace it if its gone bad prematurely.

It ships from asia. I dont buy anything that ships from asia cause you risk it being a fake. But here is a link on reviews of it from other users who purchased it.
http://www.htcdesirehdforum.com/htc...rnative-battery-2430mah-high-capacity-bas470/
The Anker 1600 mah battery is like $8? $9? On ebay. After batt calibration, this thing can go over 36 hrs running cm7. Mugen's are awesome too. Not all the batteries on there are bad, but as a general rule, stay away from anything shipping from Asia.
Still it is the wrong forum but as long as the topic is open....
+1 for the Anker 1600 batteries. Picked up 2 and a universal charger on ebay for about $15. Have only been using one of the batteries. But the difference is very noticeable over the HTC battery. Much better battery life. Installed Battery Monitor Widget to get some stats on the battery. Reported at 1480mAh. Don't know if the app is correct. HTC battery may have been starting to degrade already too which says alot of its quality. But the Anker battery so far for me has been out performing the HTC battery.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XUNRRQ/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details bought those and they are great i easily get 2 days out of one battery, 20$ you get 2 1600mAh and a standalone charger, i think its a great deal!
Word is true!

I got the same thing and they work great much longer phone life than stock Bat
I'll have to look into this, however I'm worried about the battery door coming lose and causing the phone to shut off. Anyone have problems like that?

Looks fake to me. I bought an extended battery a few months ago to replace my stock battery. It was actually worse than the stock battery. I would bet that this is a standard capacity battery with a gold packaging to make it look even better.
I bought a refurb'd inspire 4g. My battery was faulty, like my phone kept shutting down randomly.
Then I got a battery from aftermarket, all is well.
Mine lasts 2 days with juice defender, without it, it's like 6 hrs.
Radio makes a lot of difference to battery life. Don't see how you can put an extended battery in an inspire casing... just saying..

You can't, but I've tried saying this in this thread before and people just don't want to hear it. The amount of space available for the inspire battery can not pack anymore energy cells. It's physics. Unless they have some new crazy technology that no one has heard of.

I used to say the same thing over and over. But my white laptopmate batteries are still kicking butt. Battery monitor rates them on average of 1475mAh. If you want to call that extended, I wouldn't. No it doesn't rate them 1600 like the packaging says. Whether that value is correct or not doesn't really matter to me. They work well and I believe better than the original. Our oem battery is chinese made too by the way.
And maybe these third party manufacturers do rate them loosely. Or maybe the oem batteries are rated very conservatively. I never had a chance to see what battery monitor rated my oem. But these 2 batteries and universal charger were worth every penny of the $15 I spent.
I learn that if turn off the wifi when you not use, will let unit run longer
Well I think my Infuse is now a goner.
Initially had charging problems, brought it into ATT and they noted corrosion and blamed it on me, warranty voided and I was SOL.
Purchased a replacement charging port and found out that the damn thing is soldered on. Well I attempted it and accidentally lifted the solder pads.
wanna sell it? or you can try to do the touchstone mod. i pulled mine apart to see how hard it would be to do and it doesnt look to difficult. i would've done it to mine but my infuse is only a couple weeks old. just google touchstone mod if you havent heard of it. but you wont be able to send data you can only use it to charge it wirelessly.
Poor you
I bought an extra pair of batteries along with a will charger, I haven't used the charging port in months. Something you might want to consider.

On Ebay battery charger plus 2 1900 mah batteries for $15ish, which 1900mah is supposed to last longer than stock something you may want to look into, also if you do get your charger port working again then you can charge one via the battery dock and charge the one that's in your phone at the same time (it has USB port on bottom of battery dock) a also its smart charging so it doesn't ruin the battery if you leave it on there all the time

They're 1900mAh batteries, lasts me 19 hours on average. I'm sure it's more of a hassle to have your phone plugged into a wall than it is to leave a battery in the wall.

Im not really sure why, but on my old infuse my phobe wouldnt charge anymore so if charge my batterys off my dads infuse. And i was for sure it was a hardware problem. Then wen my dad upgraded phones a month later he give me his old and i was going to return my old infuse back to ebay. But somehow i fixed it b4 we returned it. Iv tryed changing roms and whiped that phone like no other then randomly after i factory reset on a custum rom it fixed it self.. idk how it fixed it self but it happend. So its possible its a software issue
Not a hassle at all. I rotate between 3 batteries, I haven't plugged my phone in in over two months... I don't see that as a hassle. All I do is power down my phone once a day to swap batteries, nothing like going from 5% to 100% in a battery of minutes. I use to stress about battery life, but that hasn't been an issue since. Its probably become what I brag most about to iphone users.

What about us users that have a nice protective case on it? I use a casemate that has 2 layers of protection, and would be a pain in the butt to remove everyday. And if you use an Otterbox case, those things are damn near impossible to get off without a struggle.
Obviously if you lock up your phone like Fort Knox then this method is not for you. I have a case mate case and I have no issue taking it off once a day, far less troubling than keeping it plugged in hours everyday whilst trying to use it.

I'm not worried about it. I have a car charger if I need to charge while out. I'll be damned if I'm going to open my case every day. If it floats your boat, go for it.
I wonder if anyone tried this batteries before:
http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Sams...O4G0/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1336756981&sr=8-9
My phone shuts down whenever I take a picture with flash, and I read that a lot of people have the same issue and that it might be the battery on the verizon website ... Therefore I want to head away from Samsung batteries ... If those are not good, please let me know what you have tried and knows that it works.
I have some bad reviews/experiences about using non-Samsung batteries.
from my understanding, VZW/Samsung will send you a new battery free of charge the next day if complain to the right person.

I use a Hyperion, an off brand Chinese from eBay, and the OEM. I don't notice a difference between the three and just cycle through them.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Between 2 phones I have 2 older hyperions, 2 new hyperions and 4 samsungs. I see very little difference between them with the samsungs being only slightly better but that can easily just be a placebo effect.
Could not get a replacement battery without getting a replacement phone with asurion.
Got the hyperion battery, works great and the phone no longer shuts down when using the camera.
Again thanks for the help!

Hey guys. SO ive been using a hand me down Captivate recently, but coming from a Blackberry, the battery life seems very poor. I know the phone is over 2 years old so I should get a new battery, but even with a new battery, what kind of stats are you seeing with the captivate?

Highly depends on your usage. I personally get about a day to a day and a half of battery on slow days. With some more moderate-high usage, it's usually about 8-9hrs with 2-3hrs of screen on.

Depending on the ROM I'm running I've seen battery life between 24 and 36 hours with the stock battery.
I bought a 3750 mAh no-name battery pack for $10 (plus shipping, lol) on ebay and constantly get over a days worth with moderate use (over 1h screen-on time quite often) Be aware that this battery was considerably larger than the stock one, but did come with a plastic cover that snaps in place of the stock one.
mine lasts about 1.5 days, with a new aftermarket battery
What firmware are you using? I noticed drastic increases going from GB to ICS and JB.
Have you turned off your data? Are you running stock? As mentioned above, power management is much better with ics and jb.
When I got my captivate, data could kill the battery in a about 6 or 7 hours without turning on the screen.

I just picked up a 3500mah ebay battery, combined that with juice defender and gsam battery monitor to finally go a whole day without charging. Im running a JB rom and use my phone regularly with work days being up to 16hrs. Before all that, I'd have to watch my usage to get a stock battery to last a whole day for me.

The Cappy's battery are faily small for all the new features 4.2.1 is bringing. You gotta keep in mind that more features = more battery drain. If you can get 2.5-3hrs of screen on, be happy!

You said "before all that". I understand from that, that you meant before the JB rom.

I understand battery consumption will be higher with JB than a previous version like froyo. The "before all that" referenced the new battery and apps. I've been running various JB roms for quite awhile now.

Have gotten between 15-18 hours on my battery from new till now (2years old)
With the exception of a few roms (mostly early stages) its been pretty consistent and based more on wifi/mobile data than anything else
My advice is to buy a new battery. Even if it's the same capacity as the old one, it will have less cycles on it, and batteries don't last forever. Also, I would stay away from these cheap ebay batteries. More than likely they are either recycled or they're subpar sells that have been relabeled and sold. Either way, they're not close to the mAh reading they're advertising.
I bought the 1800mAh battery that fits in the Epic 4G and I get more than a day with my usage. Just have to turn off google maps location report, as that will kill your battery in a few hours. Google now still works without it enabled.
actually, if you buy from a reputable seller, my experience with batteries on EBay is very good. I got a 1600 maH battery with 3 year warranty for $4. I've been using it for 8 months, no problems, good life.

And a small form factor. if you want to make it thicker, there is that 3500 mAh battery with bulky cover. I never went that route by others say it works well.
