Hi
This is my first thread on this site. Please help.me understand a few things regarding anker extended batteries, before I decide to buy them.
1. Are these batteries safe to use ?
2. Do they perform well even if using for a year or so ? I have seen all short term reviews only.
3. Can u charge them inside the phone itself using stock wall charger as with normal batteries ? As you know HTC sensation back cover is all delicate. So removing it often isn't a good idea.
I have stock ROM and stock battery at the moment and not to mention I am sick of the original battery. Please help me understand the questions above so i can get myself a pair of those 1900mah performers.
Yes they are safe to use and yes you can charge them in your phone with your stock phone charger.I have had my banker battery for 13 months now with now problems.

Thanks for that info I do have one.more silly questions of mine. I am a developer, I often need you do debugging while phone is connected to PC and charging. So in regards to safety I hope anker batteries are just like HTC stock batteries. So.while its charging and in use simultaneously, I hope it won't explode or something sorry for being a safety paranoid.
How to get one?

i have a silly question too
what is the average backup time for Anker batteries (normal, heavy or constant usage)
thanks
From the research i have been doing on this i will say like about 20% more than htc stock battery on a average under same usage as with your stock battery.
Just received my anker battery set. Just letting ya all know. Btw, price has gone up now from $29 to $170. Lucky I got mine from a prior purchase

Still $30 on Amazon, if anyone wants to buy them without spending $170.
Any ideas why such a spike in price ??.it isn't made of gold is it ? LOL

Probably seller's mistake. I bought from the same seller through ebay and two days after, he set 2 pieces for $49. I paid $28 without the charger.
Just reporting in..
Using anker for 2 days here are my simple observations.
Up time : 20 hours
Awake time : 8 hours
Battery remaining : 16%
I am not a gamer, but i read a lot on phone and watch movies with flash player and talk (audio/video) to people over Skype / Viber everyday for over an hour. WiFi stays on whole day.. even when I sleep. So using the device continuous for over 7 hours on hand with brightness set to auto, and still having 14% of battery is a unexpected happiness for me.
I wouldn't want to expect more than this. !!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
8 hours with screen on? Which rom are you using? That's a really great performance! I got mine for 24 hours usage but only 2 screen on.
Am using stock ROM. My typical usage includes watching movies for 2 hours, web browsing for 1-2 hours.in total. Gtalk, viber, Skype usage. (About 1 hour or less) and music plays even when screen is off. Screen brightness is mostly auto because I don't like reflections when reading text. WiFi remains on all the time.
This is after anker, before that of I tried screen brightness it would need charging 2 times a say. Now I make it through whole day one single charge. Mind you I don't play games at all, so may be that helps.

I had 2 batteries for my previous phone, I can confirm it was a royal pain in the ass:
keeping the spare one charged (I had a desktop charger that had a space for the spare battery, but it soon stopped working)
having to take the battery out & reboot
Such is the design of the DHD that the less I have to open the plastic compartments, the better
It does also depend on what you want the extended usage for: I wanted to be able to record a GPS track for 5-6 hours at a time (mountain-biking), so stopping to change a battery, wait for reboot & then start the appropriate app took me 10 minutes once
Everyone's needs will be different, but for me at least, the 5000mah power pack is just right for me.
I use a PowerMonkey for mine. I get about 1.5 charges out of it. I miss my exspect recharge4 (left it at am ex's house) that thing was great, you really do get 4 full charges from it. Hard to find them now though. My PowerMonkey cost about £36 from Mailing in the UK.

Which battery is that?
hey buddy. come join us in the Accessories subforum where you can gloat (like lots of us) about the awesomeness of your Anker or Chichitech battery.
I honestly don't see how this is any better than stock battery.
It can be helpful to have the same screen shots from you using both batteries, while trying to use the phone relatively the same way.

I have a generic chinese battery I get 12-24 hours on depending on use.
Seriously my stock battery lasts a measly 6 hours at best! And that's with only 2 hours of awake and display time. I ordered the CHICHITEC battery and hope it helps a lot. Maybe I'm just used to CM7 on my G2... My G2 had a CHICHITEC battery too!

Found these batteries on Amazon. Don't own a Z, but they seem to be compatble in the Desire S aswell.
1500mAh - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0051N1MTY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
1600mAh - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0052QSTYQ/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
Seem cheap and based on the reviews, they seem to work really well!
See the Sensation 1900mAh - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B0053EZJMC/ref=aw_d_cr_electronics
^Check out the reviews there! They seem to be very good for the sensation!
These batteries are dirt cheap, and seem to work well for other devices!
Anyone own one of these?
Can you give your reviews?

I purchased the Anker 1600mAh battery from Amazon for my G2 for $9 shipped and it works great. I would say it gives me about 2 or 3 extra hours than the HTC battery that ships with the phone. This is just anecdotal of course, not scientific. I usually take my phone off the charger around 5:40am and plug it back in to charge around 10pm. The stock battery would usually be at or below 15% at this time. With the Anker I'm usually at about 30%. Not a huge difference, but my HTC battery started going bad so I needed to replace it and for the price, you can't beat it.
I did do a review on Amazon after breaking in the battery and using it for a week. I have no idea why it was taken down though.
The OEM battery for the Vision is actually pretty good, which is more than what can be said for the OEM battery for the Doubleshot. Search around Amazon. You can actually find bundle packs of those batteries for cheaper and they come with a battery wall charger.
I'm happy with my purchase and since I intended to get the new Nexus, I didn't want to end up with a stack of batteries I wouldn't use. Plus, based on reviews on other forums, everyone spoke very highly of the Anker batteries. It has been reliable for past few months (I bought it on July or August).

You know that 1500 is only 200 more than the stock 1300. If you're getting drastically less than the stock battery It'd be my assumption that it has aged to such a point that it's no longer holding the same charge as a stock 1300mAh battery.
The amker battery works AMAZING! I can go thrrough a whole day of moderate usage and still have 50%

Glad to see some positive feedback for this battery. I purchased one yesterday and can't wait to use it tomorrow.

Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
Probably already debated about this, but my question are 2 specific batteries. The anker 1900mah Battery, or Mugen 1800mah. They're both slim. But I see most people here only talk about the Anker, but nobody mentions the mugen. I bought the mugen supposing it's better quality, but really haven't seen a dramatic increase in my battery life. I probably haven't tuned it properly since I only let it discharge to 10 percent.
Although I need feedback from other users. Is the mugen better than Anker? Is anker better? Or are they almost equal??? Please help.
One more thing, would the 1950 slim Mugen battery for the sensation work for this phone?
i got the anker but will eventually buy the mugen too. i don't like the anker not having a temp sensor and requiring quite some force to get in.
also, the actual anker's mah is between 1700 and 1800mah so don't be fooled by the claimed 1900
You honestly are better getting the Mugen, better quality, its just more money which i didnt have at the moment i bought the ankers.
The sensation battery should work if im not mistaken.

I've got both, and as mentioned earlier, you're better off with the Mugen. The Anker is cheap, but it's lacking a temp sensor and you have to force it in... it's not a perfect fit.

Oki, ordered one ;-)
ok so it's been a couple days, been tuning the battery and so far its giving me 12 hours and around 20 min before it reaches 9 percent battery life so it is an improvement over stock batteries, just not what I expected. Although I am a heavy user, I'm using a not-so-battery friendly rom (cedde's Mytouch Lite) and it does get me through the day right. plus where I work, signal drops dramatically, must be the building structure, so that probably affects the battery.
Overall I am satisfied with the battery. I'm switching roms and giving some others a try, I'll keep the thread posted for anybody that might be curious on buying this battery.
Well!
It's been a couple days, I already broke in the battery and after many tests, I am impressed =]
At first I wasn't getting the results I expected but after a couple of recharge cycles and battery stat wipes, It's giving me what I paid for.
Being slim batteries of course you're not going to get insane battery life, but they definitely get you through the day without needing an outlet.
I'm a heavy user, I use Whatsapp, Live Profile, Go messenger for facebook, occasional skyping, twitter and of course texting. I make about 5 calls a day and work in a building with poor service. Check my facebook and news every now and then and open pandora for my daily commute. My phone never gives me less than 12 hours everyday. Not to mention I use my phone as a hotspot at home and sometimes at work.
So if you're looking for good quality batteries just to get you through your daily hustle and don't want to add bulk, and don't want to have to be switching batteries everyday (like the ankers!), this is most def the battery to get. It's worth the bucks.

I have had these batteries for 2 weeks.
With my normal usage, i.e., always either connected to wifi or 3G, I have around 24 hours charge with one battery. Note I use iodak's kernel with tweaked voltages too.
When I go to bed, I leave wifi off and 3G off, and in 8 hours it spends 1% battery, sometimes 2% only!
When it's drained, I just pop it out and insert a new one.
The charger allows you to charge simultaneously one external battery AND your phone!
Excellent deal, and this seller is very good. Took me around 2 weeks to get the item though, as it was shipped from singapore.
