Recently I was looking for a cover for my g2 phone when I saw this sale http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extended-Battery-Back-cover-HTC-Desire-Z-G2-/140496797740?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b643002c#ht_1322wt_1139
It's a 3000 mAh battery with the back cover. Does anyone tried it or anyone similar in the past? Should I take the risk and pay $12.50 for it?
I would appreciate some opinions Thanks
Sorry this thread should be on Desire Z/ G2 area. My apologies. Can any moderator move it?

for $12 I'm in for 1.
Yeah I actually recently got two 1500 mAh batteries that works like a charm so far. I'm just a little skeptical of this one because I don't know for sure if it'll be comfortable to have an extended back cover...
Wow that's a fat battery :O

..3500mah too
Pregnant phone anyone?
I bought 3 1500mAh batteries from HK. Same white lable, maybe same company. They work great, but it is annoying to change batteries.
My G1 was a pregant phone and I did love the extra bulk, but I'm not sure if I want the extra bulk on my G2, I've have to think this one over.
Maybe I'll just have to wait for the reviews.
Just order the 3500mAh. Will report when I get it and test

Looks identical to the one I bought - which works fine. I only use it if I'm going to be away from a charger for a day, but it does the job.
The only other issue is it doesn't fit on the docking station :-(

Just ordered this through Amazon.com. Anyone have any experience with this brand of battery? There weren't many reviews for this specific battery. Their other batteries had decent reviews. If nothing else I suppose it doesn't hurt to have a spare lol. I'll share my experience once I've had a chance to try it out.
usually non oem batteries are fraud but try it out and see if it works the way it says.
if it doesn't it would make a cool backup battery ill guess
edit: ill order it as well
Does it need a different back?

Hopefully as they become available we can start testing aftermarket batteries like was done on the N1 ( and likely other phones )
I know myself and many others would love to have a legit 1800mah that fits the factory case
{Edit} just read the only review. seems to last about an hour longer. while that isnt much for the price and the fact it fits the case I think thats worth it.

Their other batteries had decent reviews because their employees are inflating the #s. I just did a review of the reviews... There is 1 person that reviewed 3 prodicell batteries on the same day, for 3 different phones... all 5 star reviews.
Then, you read the 1-2-3 star reviews... Those are normal people... with normal reviews... who are all getting boned.

Lol we'll find out soon enough. I'm a bit skeptical as I've gotten screwed with generic batteries before, but even if it doesn't perform quite as well as advertised, it sounds like it'll serve its purpose as a spare.

There's another thread about this battery in the Accessories section of the forum. Here:

I just got my battery yesterday and I'll talk more about how it's working after I've used it for a few days. I'll be posting in that other thread, though, as there's no need for 2 threads about this battery's performance. It makes more sense to have it in the Accessories section anyway.
I would buy these before the one you posted.

I got an extended battery from Amazon for my g2. It bricked 2 of my phones after getting a slight bit hot. Just some food for thought.

I have used HTCExpress (Chichitec) on my Dinc and then modified it to work on the G2. I'd pick up this one over any aftermarket anyday.
Apparently this is pretty new, it's not even on htcexpress yet.
If OEMs have trouble producing or procuring a battery that lasts, what makes anyone confident that third party/aftermarket companies will do a better job and for cheaper to boot? Yeah right

I've ordered one of these and the cost came to around £15 once converted.
Was ordered from: mugen-power-batteries.com/htc-sensation-usb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html
Free delivery to the UK and some positive reviews on the company, I'll be honest there was little reviews so they could be fake.. but for £15 I will take the risk and await its arrival. May be a while as they expect to get it in on the 22nd July.
If the older docks for HTC phones are any indication I'd guess the price to be around $32
Here is there webstore

I wouldn't claim no bulk. Its a layer of film about as thick as two screen protectors.

Don't know about the extra battery slot, I never carry 2 batteries but I did email them about having a skin on and here's their response, "Dear Aaron,
Sorry to let you know that HTC Sensation usb cradle will not fit if you put the silicone case on the phone!
Kindly noted!"
Now, the part of their reply that says SILICONE CASE is what throws me off. I asked about a skin and even provided a link for the skinomi skin because that is what I have. I'm hoping they misunderstood and it will fit. Either way, I would rather have this dock than my skin so I'm ordering one.
Anyone get one of these yet? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the one with the extra battery charger.....I just wish it had hdmi out...and maybe audio out too.

Phantom Skinz is very minimal (less than 1mm in thickness), so I am sure you will be fine.

I was messing around on amazon and seen a few 1700mah batteries and am looking in to one.
Why spend so much on one battery
As long as you dont mind switching batteries atleast once a day hit up Ebay and get 2 or 3 batteries depends on your use, and an external wall charger for around 10 to 13 bucks. they are also slim and after conditioning they last as long as stock batteries.

wow, 41 bucks on amazon and just as many 1 star reviews as 5 stars. Think I'll stick to my aftermarket batteries on the cheap.
One of these would go perfect with the otterbox.
I know a lot of these batteries that are labeled on amazon and ebay are actually stock knockoffs labeled as 1750, but truly share the same capacity as the 1400. I haven't tried or talked to anyone that's tested this listing so it could be a true claim. Just a warning for people to keep in mind. A lot of guys on ebay are even selling 1750 extended batteries that arrive still using the 1400 mah labels.

I would normally agree and not post something like this but this was on the seidio site. Being as they could lie as much as anyone on eBay I thought this might be different since this is a company and not just some third party eBay seller. I'm just curious if this battery holds up to the claims.

I apoligize if I sounded like I was trying to be condescending. I would have totally made the same call you did with giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's a big company with a good reputation, and I wouldn't doubt them without proof.
My post was meant as a warning for the people that read the thread and head straight to ebay and buy the first 99 cent battery they can find, and then install it and start bashing a developer about battery life lol

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%
