I have an Orbit 2 and want to buy a spare battery, is the touch cruise battery the same?
Looking to get the original from play.com for £15, but I've seen it much cheaper elsewhere, are those crappy fakes or is it worth buying a cheap one?
Yes the battery is identical.
I got my second from eba. with a docking station.
Works fine.
thanks, might risk a cheapo one from ebay then
alright im looking for a spare battery and with all the knock offs online i really being a bit sketched out, if anyone could help me it would be great!
the siedio online is 1600mah
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi16hnx1.htm
i also found this:
http://store.cheapnexusone.com/HTC-Nexus-One-OEM-1500-mAh-Slim-Extended-Battery.html
but i really dunno if its legit, cause i can t find anything about it anywhere else online...
also i found this
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1266349698&sr=1-3
problem is siedio doesn t sell a 1400mah battery, its nowhere on there website so i dunno if its legit or not?
i guess my question really is:
is the siedio a legit battery brand and its gonna go take a crap on me or damage the phone
and are the other 2 battery legit or knock offs?
if your definition of "legit" means made by HTC, then Seidio's battery is not legit. it's been my experience (over the past 3 years) that Seidio sells quality batteries. i don't know the specific manufacturer, but they're likely from japan. all of my purchased batteries performed well. i plan to purchase Seidio's 2800 mAh battery this week.
+1 for Seidio batteries & thier other accessories in general!
Alright so i was looking for an extended battery for my sensation 4G and it looks like there are plenty of 1800mA battery out there that are very cheap! here is the link to one of them:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-SENSATI...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=4052291442312785527
and here is another one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X1850MAH-B...821248?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5890953b80
So i was just wondering, are these too good to be true? or are they actually safe and sound?
Stick to anker or chichitec if you want cheap.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
Or the OEM HTC Evo 3D battery.
But this one is wayyy much cheaper than anker or any other batteries. Its 1/10 of the price!
these ones won't break your cellphone but their performance is even worse than the oem battery. Someone on youtube prooved that some of these are only 1000mah underneith the label. Oh and also if you find the anker battery being too expensive ($20 including shipping) perhaps you should rethink owning such a high end smart phone.

Thats a good reason for not buying it.
//
what i meant was u cant compare anker with this cuz its a lot cheaper. Otherwise there are even better batteries out there which cost like 100 bucks so...
If you want high-end, go for the 1950 mugen power EVO 3D battery

Listen to these guys, if you dont want to take from our experiences than go ahead and buy it and see how bad they are.
I'd buy it except I hate ebay. But I just bought a 1900mah battery from amazon for about $20.
Cheap will end up costing you in the long run, I use anker and i wouldn't look else where.
Anker is powerfull !
I've been looking everywhere for a genuine original HTC Desire battery, but it seems impossible to find them! I've even ordered an expensive one from an eBay seller, but it's just a fake, which looks very similar on the front side but has different backside. It says "Manufactured by Formosa Electronic" in very small text.
Do you have experience that which of these sellers are posting genuine HTC batteries from Amazon?

Or should I just buy the German PolarCell from eBay?

Have you been able to recently find a genuine HTC battery for normal price, like around 10 pounds?
It's funny that you ask because I have been looking for a battery today. I found this website that appears to be genuine http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc.aspx but it isn't cheap (about £35).
I'll look forward to the feedback on your other options. I bought one for a Sony Xperia (not mine) for £8 from Amazon and it was fine, but the reviews for the Desire batteries don't look good.
Hi,
recently i bought a "geniue" Battery for my Desire on ebay from a german seller.
When it came, it appeared to be original, but when i installed it, it gave me constant voltage and temperature values. So it was a faked one. I sent it back and became one behaving exactly the same. So i got my money back.
The next one was on Amazon, but not directly from Amazon. It also looked original, but it didn`t fit perfectly and it didn`t even charge. I´m waiting for a replacement atm. I´m still hoping to get a good one. All were about 10 Euro
so 7 pound?
regards

And the genuine one is 35 pound?
eBay 101 - lesson one - when something looks too good to be true, chances are it isn't.
Original one is around 30€ from registered reseller, 40€ HTC original
I think it's worth telling which seller did we buy from.
The fake which looked almost like the original was from "phonemarketuk" on eBay.
Now I've ordered one from "FoneM8store" from Amazon UK. I'll report when it arrives!
Before I was able to buy an original one from a seller for 7 pounds, so there is hope!
If there is nothing else, I think the best route is to go with PolarCell from Germany.
I´m not sure if it is allowed to post seller´s names here?
I tested the one from Amazon with my battery tester. It had about 1000mAh so the problem is not only the missing of values, but it has also less capacity than the original. Mine has about 1200mAh after 1.2 years.
But the worst was when i applied 5Volts to the Battery, it didnt switch off. So
this could be dangerous if anything in the charger circuit goes wrong.
Hi,
a few days ago the replacement was delivered. This one is original, and has about 1300mAh, so it seems that it was liing around some time.
But all in all ok, cost: 9,60€
Seller: WUSAR (who wants to give it a try)
on ebay, only boxed versions
I've got mine from amazon.de. After two sellers sold me fake ones (in a little plastic bag) for about 10 Euro I bought one directly from amazon. The result: I got a little HTC Box which a genuine battery for about 15 Euros. I dont think amazon.co.uk will sell you fake ones if you buy them directly from them.
Can you post a link? In Amazon.co.uk at least I've spend _ages_ looking for a genuine but there was none, and Amazon wasn't selling any directly.

nice to know that the original one should come on an HTC Box
Hi!
HTC SAV recommended me the HTC Accessory Store as the official HTC reseller. The battery for HTC Desire is expensive (~40 Euros) but I'm bored searching for the cheapest OEM one after being deceived from 2 reputated sellers (not on ebay) with fake ones.
Has anyone ever ordered the battery from that site (htcaccessorystore.com which is in fact Expansys company) ?
And the real question is : is that the genuine one that came with the phone and can be calibrated... ?
Thanks!
taobao.com in china, if you know chinese. but be careful, some batteries are second batteries
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

not a battery but i've purchased a number of htc things from expansys and found them to be fast, reputable and trusted. if they say it's a genuine battery i'd be inclined to believe them.
hope that helps you're decision making

I think the conclusion was that the only way to get genuine battery is to buy from the main Amazon.de shop. Be careful, not to by from a reseller, but from the amazon.de seller. Also, on this page one of them is fullfilled by amazon and it says 100% original, it might work.

Not ebay....my battery caught fire and melted my phone....thankfully it still works
You can look for a AOONEN BB99100 BATTERY FOR DESIRE A8181 on ebay: I bought one 3 month ago and it is a very reliable battery, last the same as than the original one.
I'm very pleased with it.
So my Sensation (non-XE, standard) is almost 2 years old, and I noticed that the battery is getting weaker and weaker, so I figure I should buy a new one. Anker would be my obvious choice, but the thing is I live in Poland and can't order a reasonably priced one from Amazon because it doesn't ship to Europe. Now, where can I find a good and relatively cheap battery? I'd go for Anker since it's recommended all over forums, but I'm open for suggestions. Also, I've checked local markets and there's a cheap 1800 mAh battery called ANDIDA - anyone tried it?
If someone could also post price tresholds so I'd know what's overpriced and what's a good deal, that'd be great. Probably gonna buy it on eBay or regional auction sites.
If its cheap and the price is below reasonable, you should try it.
Who knows, it might be better than Anker! Haha
eBay
Try looking for an anker on eBay. Look for international sellers
Go to amazon and find a list of battery brands that has good reviews. there should be some alternative choice alongside anker. Try to see if they are available in your local market.
The Anker is hands-down the best. Too bad there aren't any decent REALLY extended batteries like the Mugen, but without the sacrifice of gps
