Mugen 3800mAh Extended Battery user experience? - HTC Sensation

Thinking of getting one of Mugen's monster batteries, since I barely last half a day on stock (mostly due to games). Most of the posts say the battery life is great but the case messes with Wi-Fi and GPS. I've come across a few posts claiming that that problem has since been fixed. I'd like to know if that is true, as well as how the battery has been holding up to long-term use.
Thanks.
The extra thickness won't be a factor; I actually find the phone too thin to hold comfortably, so it'll probably be a plus.

a friend of mine has this battery but it gets 1 day and half and i take 2 days with anker 1900

Mate he is talking about mugen 3800mah battery and not mugen 1950 mah
Hm
I don't have this battery . . But I read somewhere in sensation forum that , mugen 3800 mah batteries giving best battery backup more than 2-3 days and more than 10-12 hour screen on time.
If thickness does not mater for u then go for it . .

I'd say get a power skin and an anker for like 20 bucks total and you'll get over a day's worth of battery. That's what I did and it's amazing

Chichitech vs. Anker

Hey guys I've got both batteries and so far the chichi tech has been giving me significantly more life then the Anker. Both batteries have been treated the same way, popped in, fully charged without the phone off, then used till the phone died and charged back up to full (2x) so far I notice that my chichitech is giving me about 3 hours more than the Anker. Is anyone else getting these findings?
Typical daily use: total of an 1-2 hours game (gun bros, cut the ropes) a ridic amount of texting, light web browsing, and heavy email use.
so how many hour does the Anker give you? hours Chichitech?
I haven't bought any but I'm leaning more towards the Chichitech.
This thread can tip sales in favor of one brand
pinch of salt!
The chichitech are more expensive though. But they do come in pairs. I only need one and don't like paying for things I don't need. The anker battery is £9.
I might wait a little while longer as I believe it is still too early to see if these batteries are good. Need to see how they hold their charge in the long-term as we all know battery life is reduced over time.

Yes it is, I'm running my battery down now and will recharge tonight and post back when it dies manana mi amigos. Stay posted.
In that case I might consider grabbing the Chichitech 1930mAH for EVO3D to get even more juice!

That;s what I did! Will report back with how it went.
Chichitec rocks socks.
I completely discharged , then charged in the wall charger 3x. Then I kept it in the phone the next cycle, overnight, and the thing took off ever since.
I've been getting a full days use with, normal for me use, where im usually dying by 5 or 6 pm I'm now left with battery to spare when I go to bed between 10-12.
I unplug in the morning around 7 am.
Couldn't be happier, and for a normal day I wont need a spare. :-D

That sounds awesome. I ordered one a few days ago over the anker. Can't wait for it to get here. Anyone can confirm the battery temp sensor works properly or accurately for the chichitec. I read from anker thread that some people are not getting correct readings.
I have both. I am at 14% right now with my anker and its been off the charger since yesterday at 9 am. It's 11:45 am, so that's 27 hours. Chichitec is yielding about the same results for me. Anker wins because its half the price.

I am a bit skeptical about chichitech, I have bought 2 batteries from them for my old g2. I only used one of those, and it does not give me no substantial difference with a 500 mAH difference (1400 vs. 1900 mAH). But my anker battery so far is working very good for my sensation. noticeable difference with the stock battery (not as significant as I would expect, but let see).

So I'm about at 9% battery and its been 10 hours and 18 minutes with the Anker. Far less then what I get with my chichitec. However to be honest I bet if I bought another chichitec battery and another anker battery, my results would be switched. These batteries are probably drastically different from make to make. I feel its the luck of the draw with both manufacturers either you get an awesome battery or you don't.
I have never made pass 6 hrs on stock batt. With the ankers I get 9 hrs heavy use.

Please report your findings also, im very interested.
So far so good, received my Chichitec and I did my first full cycle yesterday. I drained it when I got it, charged it overnight and started using it as normal from 10AM.
I made it until I went to bed, at 15h uptime with 3:30 hours display time and slightly heavier usage than normal. This left the battery at 19%.
On the stock battery I could barely make it past 2:20 hours of display time at around 10-15% battery left by the time I usually go to bed.
1900mAh? I don't know, but I do know these batteries are definitely lasting longer than stock.

Anker battery

I want to ask if anybody can send me.the link where to buy Anker battery for sensation. I have read the forums and they said its not good to buy it on eBay that I might get the fake ones.

Amazon ?

Amazon. Definitely Amazon. Got 2 1900mah batteries plus travel charger for 30USD. 3 charge cycles in and I'm getting an extra 1.5 hours of screen time!
I've ordered all my anker batteries from this seller on ebay:

What do you mean by 1.5 hours of screen time? Screen switched on all the time or regular or power usage?

I think he means when you go to battery stats & look at display usage
Yeah, I meant active phone use at 50% brightness.
So basically Anker battery last 1 1/2 hrs more than the stock battery?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
That's just my experience thus far and I've only been through 3 charge cycles so there's room for deviation. The anker is 1900 mah, which is just about 25% more than stock. If this was a perfect world that should equate to 25% longer battery life, but real world is always a little different.
got 2 ankers with the wall charger/cradle for 28 bucks on amazon. Its rated at 1900 which is a big increase over stock.....the actual increase in life doesnt match that increase but they do last longer...so 28 bucks for 2 of em with a charger is still a great deal. Think you can pick up one for like 14 bucks

[Q] anker battery?

hey guys. After having the sensation for about three months i got pretty much sick and tired of the battery life and so i searched up and found an anker 1900 mah battery, do you guys think that it is actually worth buying it? I also heard from a friend that it reduces the overheating issue that the phone has, can anybody confirm this to be true?
Try to look around.... Anker battery topic has a lot of replies... You just need to open sensation accessories... Because battery is accessory....
Go on try, open... Its right there on the first page....
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
It's really work for me, but it's actually about 1830-1850 mah not 1900 mah as it state on a label.
Picked one up off Ebay and it's great. I can go a few extra hours compared to stock battery. Worth it for me.
so far after reading the reviews anker battery has got lots of positive reviews but unfortunately the price of the battery in malaysia is double so i opt for sunglobal 1850mah... http://www.sunglobal.com.my/enlarge.asp?id=93.... so far works fine for me for around 15 to 25 hours..
This is an interesting topic for me too. There are several brands offering batteries with extended capacity. Do you think that they are all the same, or Anker is the best?
Will rreplacig my stock sensation battery for the anker 1900 one reduce overheating

No. The battery is only part of the issue, your processor generates more heat.
For those thinking the Anker solves temperature issues, it doesn't have a temperature sensor included so always reports 25c no matter how hot or cold it gets.
Anker is 1900 mAh, and I saw another aftermarket batt on eBay listing 2450 mAh capacity.
Its easy to print a label with a higher capacity rating, so my question is has anyone tried it - feedback?
I got 2 Anker 1900 mAh batteries with external usb/plug recharger, I just swap them when one is discharged.
Now my phone works a lot longer but the greatest difference occoured when I stopped using Superpower app with it's 2G/3G switching scripts (2G preferred) and turn on airplane mode in the night when I sleep.
Now my phone works even 3 days when is lighlty used.
My Anker battery offered a great improvement at first, however six months down the line I'm not so sure its lasting as long as it used to - can't say I'm using my phone any more than I was, but I always seem to be in power saving mode now before I stick it on charge at the end of the day. Hopefully in another six months it won't have gotten any worse!

1800 Mah Good?

Buddy, save yourself the trouble of six dollars here and there looking for cheapo super batteries. They rarely hold the charge they claim they're capable of. I've seem them as low as 200mAh before - kept my Nokia charged for 15 minutes!
Nope it basically lasts as long as stock (I have one)
just get the Anker and save yourself the trouble in the long run
Yes i have also Anker very Happy ;-)

Mugen Power 1600mAh Extended Battery for For HTC Desire

Comments of Mugen Power Batteries from Facebook user Val Komissarov
Hey, Mugen. I just installed your 1600 mAh battery for HTC Desire (properly charged for circa 9 hrs) on my HTC Desire running an Oxygen-based AOSP ROM (Android 2.3.7) and had two phone shutdowns when the battery charge was between 90 and 80 percent. That's something that never happened to me before while I'd been using native HTC battery. The ROM itself is extremely reliable and battery efficient. Any clues on that?
on the other hand, after 2.5 weeks of usage I must express my dissatisfaction with the product: the battery hardly lasts as long as the original HTC battery. I did everything per instruction, my ROM and usage patterns remain unchanged, so it's got to be the Mugen battery.

Could just be a faulty battery. Cant damn an entire product for one bad apple. I work in RMA's and see it all the time. "your product is supposed to last xxx times, it didnt even work once, false advertising!!!" My reply, bad units happen no matter what you buy. My other notice is, that is for the desire, not the desire HD. two different phones and two different batteries. Mugen only sells a 1500mah for desirehd/inspire.

Really? Ok, then I probably almost gonna buy a wrong one.
Thanks either!
There's a thread floating around somewhere which explains why the Mugen and similar high capacity batteries are no better than the standard HTC one.
The HTC branded battery can use ~90% of its capacity whereas other only use ~80%.
I don't recall the exact numbers but it works out that, although the capacity is lower, more of it is usable.
Or they are the exact same and Mugen is just rebranding it.
So u r saying it does not worth buying? Either does not have any chang, or it is so minor that it is pointless?
1500 mah akku :good:

Buy it if it's cheaper than genuine HTC batteries, but don't pay more than genuine HTC battery prices, because they are all the same capacity.
Yeah I saw on their website, only 1500 mamph Desire HD batts
To be honest, I have tried some batteries and have ended up coming back to original HTC batttery because they all have similar response and don´t want the battery to melt inside my phone and fck both,the battery and phone.

I did not have a good mugen experience either, it did not had shutdown but the battery charge never last as long as advertized... And I did try every single mod or tweak in the forum, for me it was just like a regular htc battery.
So there is no point in a battery upgrade on Desire HD?
I got one of those 2450 mah (supposedly) batteries and much to my complete lack of surprise it was only 1230 mah.
It was only $8 so I thought I'd give it a try. But at least I have a spare battery that's a little better than the 1 3/4 year-old HTC battery I was using before.
Is there any differences with cost between original battery and mugen? Mugen seems a little expensive for me and plus, cargo price. Or Is it really worth to buy Mugen?
I've been using my phone for over 2 years now and battery lasts 12 hours aprox. ..so i'm considering either a new battery or that powerskin thingy..what do you guys suggest?

Go for a bigger battery. Known brands can offer batteries with more juice.

Can you please specify what brands should i consider buying? Thanks in advance

Mugen 1600mah or Anker (Sensation) 1900mah if you are willing to do the battery cover mod as described in the Sensation battery topic.
I own the second and its really very good choice.
