Ordered one from ebay 16 days ago. U$20 delivered for a charger (charges battery + USB output) and 2(!) batteries. Came in today. Seem to be legit, batteries fit fine, come in about 40% charge in em. Charging both at the moment, will post later as to the longevity etc.
Search ebay for title (the quoted part of it), $20 delivered.
No idea how this chinese quality is, but it´s cheap
[text deleted]
OK,
1st battery charged in N1, seems to be fine after 3 hrs of occasional use, still 100% charge. The other one charged in the charger that came with it, will test it tomorrow. Charger gives indication when the charge is complete. I guess we got ourselves a winner here
Good to hear. I ordered the same bundle a week or so ago and I'm waiting for it. Things from HK do seem to take a while to get to the US - guess that's the price you pay.
I got this same deal!
It's a crazy bargain! I love have (3) batteries on me when traveling. In a hotel room it's wonderful to find a spare remote outlet and charge up the depleted batteries. No down time.
I received my batteries and charger from China very quickly.
thanks i'll look into this
EDIT: Which seller did you guys buy from?
Just trying to help,
This one,
http://yit.me/46vpzp
Wow. That's quite a deal! I don't really think I need it but I'm sorely tempted to order a set anyway just in case.
This deal hooked me.
This is a NO BRAINER!
You get the 2800 mAh worth of power for 1/3 the price. Plus you get the external charger.
The only "negative" to me is that I have to shut down the phone to swap batteries... but the N1 reboots so fast... not really a negative.
The big "positive" is that I get the additional power in reserve... without getting a big ugly battery and new battery door that alters the slick look of my phone.
I don't have an scientific evidence yet.... but these new batteries seem to actually run longer than my stock battery.
I got this. Its a phenominal deal. The batteries are top notch, and I'm almost inclined to think one of them actually works better than the stock battery, but that could just be my imagination. Hard to test.
The charger is great too.
I ordered the same set on the 18th and I still dont have mine! Glad you all are happy with yours! I am going to file a dispute tomorrow, 3 weeks is too long!

2800 mAh is double the OEM battery, so of course they run longer then the stock battery

Uhhmmm....he is saying that 2 batteries at 1400 = one batter at 2800. They are talking about 2 batteries and a charger for 20$.
This is a great deal! Maybe too good to be true?? Please keep us updated on how these batteries perform throughout the year.
Any issue with charge times? It is only rated plugged in at output 4.2V 350mA, this seems a little low to me.
I do see it is rated higher for the USB output connection, is this to the battery or just to the USB port, of 5.2V 800mA?
Thanks
Don't file a dispute... that is pointless.
E-mail them and ask for it to be sent again however if they say no then you can dispute it BUT standard postage can take FOREVER.
I have ordered CDs from America (where most of you guys are) and sometimes they have come in 5 days and sometimes it has been a month.
Unfortunately your US mail is incredibly unreliable and then when you add into that the fact it is coming from Hong Kong so has to go through so many mail systems you should just relax and be patient!
I ordered the same package yesterday and also the 8-in-1 HD2 package with 3 screen protector, 3 cases, MUSB to cig lighter charger and an extra MUSB cable which I can use those 2 both with my HD2 and N1 as I already have cases for the N1 and screen protectors.
Folx,
I have used both batteries, charged via both N1 and the charger that came part of the deal. Used the charger to charge N1's original battery. No issues encountered. Having total of 3 batteries must be a godsend for frequent travelers and alike.
I never hesitate when ordering items from China/HK. Takes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 weeks, never had anything lost.

I ordered on the 18th too...Glad to see I'm not the only one still waiting. I'm even more glad to hear that the quality seems OK so far.
Hopefully it will be waiting for me when I get home tonight!
Anyone use the Innocell 3500mah battery yet on their Eris?
Im a new user still (my account was made in Feb 2008) because of my low post count, so I can't post links but it goes for 49 dollars on Amazon.
That's a good price and I would like to pick it up, but I wanted hear some user experiences. I always have my phone at 768Mhz with some profiles for Screen Off etc, but I end up having to charge my phone within a couple hours under heavy use. So this looks like a perfect fit for me.
Any input would be appreciated.

There's lots more you can do to make sure your battery is good.
Is your Mail app syncing very often? Open mail, hit menu, and open up your settings and take a look at how often the refresh interval is. Once every 15 minutes will chew some battery. Once every 2 hours won't.
Hit home > menu > settings > accounts and sync, check out your facebook, and facebook for HTC Sense.
I UNCHECK the box for sync contacts under the HTC Sense one. Why? because it already synced my pictures once. The other option there is to hit the 'Check frequency' to once a day (saves a ton of battery, that facebook sync is a huge battery killer).
Also, if you don't use push Gmail, I'd turn off Always-On Mobile.
I use my Gmail, and even the company I work for switched our servers over to gmail, so I use the fact that it pushes right to my phone, exactly when I get gmail. I accept that my phone will only last one day if I have Always-On Mobile turned on.
ANYWAY,
I have the 1750mah battery from Seidio, and definitely notice a few more hours per day of use.
If I turn off 'Always-On Mobile', I can make the phone last 4 or 5 days. I just charge it when I go to bed at night though. Not a big deal for now.
I may or may not wind up getting the 3500mah eventually. That thing's a tank. I hear lots of great things.
I picked up the 3500 mAh battery last friday. It came with a 75% charge and once it was full, plus leaving it on the charger for another 2 hours as per directions it lasted for just under 40 hours with moderate usage!! Now I can actually use this phone the way it was meant to be used. I am now averaging about 37 hours per charge with heavy usage(i.e. 2 to 3 hours of last.FM, downloads and lots of browsing)
does it fit it the phone fine?
i mean do you have to have the back cover off when you use the battery.
please post the link for the battery i really want to try it out.
EDIT: never mind i found it on ebay and it comes with it's own case and i don't need the link
here is the link for anyone that does want it: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=Innocell+3500mah+battery&_sacat=See-All-Catagories
might have to get this one....
I've had mine for close to a month now. Running at stock speeds (528 for those of you that don't remember ) I maxed out at 63 hours with normal usage. Running at 710 with moderate to heavy usage I get at least 40 hours. The only thing that really drags it down is when I do a lot of wireless tethering. I still get around 20 hours out of it though.
One thing I noticed with it, after it's done charging, unplug it, use the web for a few minutes to get it down to 98-99% then plug it back in until fully charged again. It lasts 2-3 hours longer that way. Don't ask me why, but it does.
It's an amazing battery and gives you something more to grab on to, making the phone more comfortable to hold. With the new froyo roms, namely Cyanogen Tazz, my battery life is insane with this thing.
Just asking, I had my Eris for a couple months and got it replace a bunch of times for the track ball. Eventually I switched to moto Droid but I still have my two batteries ones 2 weeks old the other a little over 2 months along with 2 chargers and USB cables. Also have back covers. The phones I had to send back though. If you or any ones interested so you can switch batteries when one dies that's what I was doing just charged both at night before bed. If interested let me know just pm me.

I have that battery and get 2 to 3 full days before a recharge. Well worth it

Had the Innocell 3500mah battery for 3 months - many hrs of day with no signal, using wi-fi and will last 30 + hrs. with good signal - 2 days - best thing I've done since rooting the phone. Brother got the 1700 one and it was a joke when back to stock battery - get the big one.

I have the same exact one (1750) and I usually get almost two days use out of it (Thanks to KaosFroyo). I have the same reason for not getting the 3500, well that and it wouldn't fit my Seidio case either, you think they would have made a matching case for the 3500, but oh well.
Though I haven't found the equivalent of the "Always on mobile" option on Froyo yet.
I have a Seidio 3500mah for sale if anyone is interested...
I'm rooted and running xtrSense and I am in 3G mode right now and have Location On and my Gmails pushed and I did over 257 text messages today and about two hours of Pandora and it lasted all day and I still have about 20% left. It's all in the ROM methinks because the same usage on the stock Verizon ROM would have left me wanting more battery life and I would have had to charge twice a day. I only plugged it in while Pandora'ing in the car (maybe fifteen minutes of drive time), then worked an hour of regular Pandora on battery.
http://newgenoutlet.com/products/Pl...lymer-Battery-for-Most-HTC-Mobile-Phones.html
This exact battery is $50 at Best Buy.
Anyone try this battery yet? I have a few batteries laying around that have all gone to crap and my 1750 from seidio isn't holding it's charge very well anymore.
Still can't bring myself to buy the 3500.
Might want to consider & shop for OEM 1500 maH ?
Haven't tried them yet but I got a supposingly OEM battery (1500 maH) for the Ozone/Imagio at around $10 including shipping via eBay, and I switched it over to the Eris since the Ozone is now used only as an unlocked spare for GSM/wifi purposes, etc. Got it from these folks, fast ship as they're local & was in our mailbox in 4 or 5 days.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-OEM-HTC-BTR...309517?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a5dd47b8d
It's only slightly larger than the OEM 1300 maH rated battery, but this one fit perfectly as well and with the custom Froyo, rooted phone, giving me enough juice for a full 18-30 hours day without running low - depending on usage, and, at night, I just hook it up to the charger. Plus, I got plenty of vechile & usb charging option while on the go, plus, the spare battery resulting from the switch with me most of the time, so I'm good going anywhere with the device.
I prefer not to throw more money for a 3500 maH battery+cover as none of the protective cover/shield/cases out there are designed for the thicker phone & its bulk, which sort of defeat the purpose of using this relatively "compact" device especially on a side-by-side with the TB and their related siblings.
I just ordered this battery OP suggested, will test it out and get back to you guys some time next week. Really needed a battery a bit bigger than what I've got now, and I think $10 fits the bill! Thanks OP.
I've tried out the battery over the past few days, and I'm impressed. I had the oem 1500 battery before, and it went down in life really quick throughout the day. On normal use, I would only have 20-30% by lunch time. But I took it off the charger at 7:50am today, and it's at 80% right now (1:23pm). Most of the weekend, I was hooked up to Wi-Fi, and it lasted an entire day and a half on normal use. I define normal use as 30-60 minute sessions of browsing the web, and texting every now and then for about 5-10 minutes. I'm enjoying it a lot. For only $10 you can't go wrong. So if you want a battery that will last you through the day, this is it. Thanks for the find, OP.
For those of you who missed out on LaptopMate's $10.00 price on amazon,
they are currently running a sale on eBay for $9.99 + FREE shipping!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220809471557
(It says on the ebay page that the sale ends in one day, but maybe it will last longer.)
Hope this helps.
Just ordered mine!
LaptopMate must love this forum by now, with all the business they're getting.
I ordered mine last week from a seller who was selling them for $9.99. The price has since risen to $11.99 so those of you without them better grab them now
just ordered one. awesome!
I bought a pair and charger for $28 total. Batteries are working great! You MUST buy this.
bought! thank you!

Your welcome guys. Glad this helped.
20hrs left on this sale.
Grab 'em if you want 'em cuz they are going for $16.99 w/out free shipping on Amazon now.
I've seen this sale up for a few days now. Been feeling conflicted about the value vs. practicality of the purchase, and then finally bought it. Aside from that, thanks for the notice!
Mine should be arriving soon. So since this is the first time I'm using an aftermarket battery, I've got a question: how should one properly cycle this battery the first few times?
I've been looking for a better/2nd battery for my Sensation since the one that comes with the phone is kinda weir. Sometime I can get 20hours out of it and still have 15% left that will last me the rest of the night but sometime it will get to 10% in 14-15 hours of average use and less if I watch movies on it. Hopefully this batter will last longer and be my main battery. For $10 if it doesn't last as long as I hope it isn't a bad price for a back up battery as well.
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered mine. By the sounds of it I might be able to get some use out of my sensation without having to be near an outlet.
thanks for the heads up i appreciate it. $7 bucks shipped with the few ebay bucks i had to spend. good stuff

After doing some research, I think I've pulled the most logical info from a number of different places and put it together below. However, I'll be doing more research and post here again if I notice something different.
-Insert Battery
-Charge up the battery 100%
(Some recommend doing so while the phone is powered off because the booted Android system may stop charging when your new battery reaches your old battery's capacity)
-Boot to recovery and wipe battery stats
-Boot to system and let it drain through normal usage until phone shuts down
-Charge up to 100%
(Again, some recommend doing so while the phone is powered off, just to be safe)
-Boot up and use as desired
Anker 1900
Mine has performed really well. It lasts about 15% longer than my stock.
I ordered mine about 4 days ago from the same seller for 9.99 just got it yesterday and my battery life has doubled! If not Tripled

Hm...everything seems pretty logical. Very detailed! Thanks!
My stock battery is shot. It will drain from fully charged down to nothing in an hour of browsing the net. I have tried everything to calibrate it and have tried different ROMs but still the drain is horrible.
I saw a 1900 anchor (ankor?) battery on amazon for $19. Is that the one that everyone buys?

Yes. http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh-Battery-Sensation-Mytouch/dp/B0053EZJMC
It works great. Though l don't use my phone heavily. I mostly use it at home when phone is plugged in. But still it last much longer than stock.
Most people buy Anker battery and are very happy with it. I personally wanted more juice so I bought Mugen 3800mah battery. With Mugen I get with extremely heavy use around 26 hours of use. With moderate use I get around 36 hours. Light use 48 hours. But one problem with mugen is you will have to replace your back cover and your phone will be thicker to accommodate the battery. For me personally, I was after extreme battery life so the thicker phone didn't bother me at all. Another issue is price. Mugen is five times more expensive than Anker. But for me, I'm keeping my phone for awhile so it was a investment. But most don't want to deal with those issues so they choose Anker. It all depends on what you want. I recommend you start with anker, then if you decide you want more juice, go with mugen. But for most Anker is just fine. It's a good battery and will give you extended use. If you want extremely long battery life, go with mugen.

This is probably a stupid question but you can charge the battery by plugging your phone in like usual right? I see that some of them come with a wall charger where you have to plug the actual battery into that.

Yes. Anker simply replaces your stock battery. Same shape size.
Is this Anker really that good? Beacuse I always buy the batterys from ebay (just like the ones for my DSLR) and have now a no brand 2430mAh using for almost a year and can use it a whole day without problems. Costs me only $12 and free shipping.
I bought 2 Anker batteries and a charger for $30US, I think. No regrets.

I bought my Anker 1 year ago and it still pretty good!
Get Anker.
An important thing to consider is anker has a 1 year warranty. And they WILL honor their warranty. I bought 6 batteries for my families LG Optimus Vs (Our first smartphones) and 1 battery went bad after like 6 months. I called them up a few months later when I realized I had a warranty, and they sent me replacement! (it was like 1 month before my warranty ended) And all they wanted was the serial numbers of the old batteries, however the original ones didn't have numbers so they instead just wanted a photo. (Which now that I think about it I never sent... ...)
Also, one of the chargers (that I bought with 2 batteries, a few months before that set of batteries I mentioned above) fried for some reason after about 8 months. So I left it on the shelf hoping I might be able to fix it. By the time I realized I had the warranty it had been over a year since my purchase. Bummer. So I called them up explained it went bad several months ago but I didn't know about the warranty, could they send me a replacement? And even though I was no longer in my warranty they sent me a new one.
Another thing is, for me, having spare batteries is a MUST as I have a LOT of free time at work. (I'm a background actor, and most of the time we have to do whatever we want) And continuous use (Browsing the web, playing games, reading news, watching TED AIR talks) drains a battery in 3 - 5 hours. And it can sometimes be 16 hour days, with no place nearby to plug in a charger. That's another awesome thing about Anker sets, the stand alone charger. I have MANY times been at work with one of my batteries dead. I looked for and found an outlet, a little far from holding, (where we are while we aren't working) and just plugged a dead battery into the stand alone charger and into the outlet. I can go to work or just go about my business not tethered to the wall, and 3 hours later my battery is charged. I then would switch one of my more drained batteries for it and continue like that.
So ultimately its up to you, but I would recommend getting a set of 2 Anker 1900mah batteries and a charger for $30. However if the charger isn't a big deal for you then look up some $7 Evo 3D batteries on Amazon. They are 1730mah, and are pretty decent.
Bragging here, I currently have around 10 batteries! Only 2 are anker. the others are 5 EVO 3D and 3 Sensation stock batteries I got for only $2 each! I found someone on Amazon selling them for $2 each with $4.50 shipping, only the shipping combined! So I got 8 batteries AND five 16GB Class 4 Sandisk MicroSDs for only $54 total. What a deal. lol.
