UK company BMC Digital claims to have a 1600mah battery for the Desire HD... for just 6.50 UKP. That can't be right, surely?
They also have a 1230mAh battery for 16.95 UKP, which seems more believable.
Sorry that I can't post the links yet, as I'm a new user.
The typical capacity of a battery is one thing but what they print on the label is another thing! I think, it's impossible to improve the original battery 1230 mAh about 370 mAh to 1600 mAh and sell it for less than the half price.

Well I just bought one for the hell of it, will let you know it's performance probably this time next week.
I got 2 of them 1600mAh with a bundle from good old ebay. I've been using them and they last at least as long as the original but not convinced they last much longer....
At least they work! so far
Cheers,
hey do you think it will be possible to make extended batteries (with cover) for dhd? because it has unibody

I don't think so, the battery have to be relatively the same size as the original battery, especially when the battery cover is used as antenna too.
try here for batteries - including extended one...
here is the link...
go to mugen-power-batteries dot com and then to the htc-desire section...
There is only one in the list.
its 1300mAh for 45$.
Very expensive and not very usefull.
Only 70mAh more -.-
So I used the one that was delivered for a couple of days, and let me tell you it is utter 'DOG-EGG' it doesn't last anywhere near as long as the original, but £6.50 for a spare ain't half bad.
Hi
Seen the following battery on ebay:
1600mAh Standard Replacement Battery For HTC Desire HD
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1600mAh-Stand...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item20b7cc5ca5
Has anyone bought this, and what do you think of this. I know its very cheap
Please give feedback, thanks
personally I think its a bit risky especially at the price they offering..
i still think the stock batteries from htc are the best

I have 2 of thoes batteries and I can tell you they work fine but they are not 1600mAh they say 1600mAh on them but last no longer than the oringinal battery.
Can somebody recommend me a spare battery ? I normally keep a charged spare battery in my wallet for cases when the current battery just dies on you and you need your phone on .. I dont mind getting an 3rd party battery as long as the life is good, price is under $20 or something, etc ..
Any suggestions ?
110 views and no suggestions .. ?! How is this possible .. ?!
I use a Desire S battery. 1450mah, perfect fit and made by HTC (i am not so keen on those 3rd party batteries as they almost never have the capacity they clame to have and not always fit right) I have the original battery as spare.
I've read the incredible s/2 battery will work. Going to try and grab one when verizon launches it.

How about this battery ?:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Battery-Rep...ccessories&hash=item4aa76db5c9#ht_1378wt_1200
I just need one to keep as a spare in charged state in my wallet for those rainy days .. It will end up being used maybe like once a month or something, so I'm not looking for something with necessarily a lot of juice in it .. I just need something to give me a decent performance when my main battery dies on me .. And because I dont require much, I'm also not wanting to spend anything more than $15 more or less ..
Also, what about the ones mentioned here? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953518

i got two of these (two chargers also) and was really impressed with them. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/replacement-3-7v-1500mah-cellphone-battery-with-charger-for-htc-desire-z-vision-bb96100-51190 The downside is they take a long time to ship from Hong Kong.
The batteries last at least as long as the original one on a charge. Also, you can have one charging while using the other in the phone.
I got 2 spare batteries plus a dedicated spare battery charger for 99 cents on eBay... crazy... but they do work fine, mind you. Not as long as an original, but on it's own the spare generic battery can last as close as the original htc battery....
...and I get two and a battery charger for effin 99 cents!!!!!!! plus shipping of course, which cost me 3 bucks... not bad
Hehehe...

The htc evo shifts battery fits our phone perfectly, no modification necessary. Ebay sells some third party batteries for the evo shift which includes 3x1800 mah and a sleak wall charger for them. In my personal experience, they do offer more juice than the stock battery and everything on my phone is fully functional. Oh yeah everything together cost about $15.

3500 mAH batteries for 22$ with a charger, 10$ for just 1 and no charger. Only downside is the bulky back. Will last 2 days no problem though.
i guess im paranoid.. dont trust any of these generic batteries. blow up my phone, with my luck lol
there are a lot of 3000mAh batteries on ebay... that are not expensive.. are they any good? how much more battery life will i get?
anyone has tried one of those 3000mah batteries?
EBay ones tend to be crap. Mugen s 3200mah is good and does the job reliabiy
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Mugen is pretty expensive.. any other cheaper but good brand/model?
i am using mugen 3200, i will score it 8.5/10, the bad points are the case very loose and blocked flash light in a certain degree.
Nothing some blutack wont fix. And no I don't know. There's a post further down documenting some people's experiances with ebay if you want to look for it

Remember you'll always get what you pay for. If you want a second battery buy an orginal one.
thx for all your advices

The "ebay" batteries tends to have smaller capacity than announced.

(can't post links)
Exacly...anything over original 1400 is bs in my opinion. I've heard about 3000mAh for HTC Evo but that battery is much bigger in size and require custom back case.
i got myself a 3200mAh mugen battery from the states best thing i ever did lasting for 5 days now on one charge
I bought a 3000mAh Extended Battery from the seller.

what rom are you on when you have 5 days duration ?
It's great if you want your battery to last days without charge but terrible if you want a nice sleak phone due to the fact that the 3200amh batteries add extra thickness to the phone which really makes it look ugly in my opinion. Mugen power batteries are really good though they are expensive. I'd be weary about buying from eBay because although they may be cheaper, a lot of the times they're not the capacity stated and have bad quality lithium ions that simply don't hold a charge!
Can I buy it in Ukraine? Somebody know?
I have a 3000mAh battery, but the only way I can get a full charge is with an external charger.
Then I can get between 3-4days from 1 charge.
Charging the 3000mAh in my phone, doesn't seem to last any longer than a standard battery.
Hi guys I am thinking of getting a battery wih large capacity.. came across the following one..

Is it worth buying ? I read that this not cheap chinese company so the chanes of the battery blowing up and giving good battery backup is possible but is it really worth it? Does it give a good backup??

i am a very very heavy user and i get two full days mourning til night.
on my stock battery i would get about 12-14 hours normally, less then an entire day.
i think because of the fact i have a bigger battery i leave more stuff on and use even more...
3500 mAh Seidio and eBay China knockoffs
I got the Seidio 3500 mAh several months ago (Sep) and I am glad I did. I wasn't making it past 5:00 PM without it. I also picked up a few of the eBay knock offs, 3500 mAh, from China. They didn't work nearly as well as the Seidio but for only $10 I can't complain. I mostly stick with the Seidio for every day stuff. If I'm traveling I pack the extra China batteries as backups.
One thing about these 3500 mAh batteries is that the phone won't fit in the cradle/docking station chargers. And the battery by itself won't charge in the extra charging bay because of the orientation of the electrodes to the battery.
On standalone chargers for just the battery by itself, I did find one universal charger that can charge the extended battery standalone, from ebay from China. The universal charger that worked was called the "3G Portable Commerce Multi-purpose Battery Charger USB".
Compared to the ebay ones, how much more do you get?
For the ebay ones, do you still get more than the stock battery?
Because if you get at least 2000mah from the ebay ones and they don't explode, I'm thinking of getting one.

I also had that problem while on holiday in Serbia. You have a lack in phone accessories unfortunately and disappointing that paypal doesn't work. Your best choice is to ask a relative from another country to buy it. Also, there are other ways of paying online that paypal.

You should get PayPal, it is easy to get an account and you can use it for worldwide purchases, so i would definitely advice PayPal.
And for Batteries for HTC Desire HD I would advice Mugen Power brand 1500mAh battery

The product has very good reviews and very good performance, Mugen is also a reliable brand.

I also recommend the Mugen battery.
Regards payment, you should be able to make a bank transfer to them, they also use Moneybookers (not sure that helps) - you don't have credit cards?
so, there's no better replacement than mugen ?

There are certainly no end of "hi-capacity" batteries being sold on e-bay, but they are all fake. At best they have a similar capacity to the stock battery. If they are selling for $1-3, well that's OK I guess. But then watch out for the charging circuitry, because they will be cutting corners.
I would only buy a HTC branded replacement battery, or the Mugen - for the guarantee of quality, since I expect a battery to perform for 1 year with constant use.
Search the accessories thread for "battery" and "Mugen", you'll see what I mean
I bought an extra battery at dealextreme, a chinese website with free shipping to almost the whole world.
According to my own experience i haven't seen people mentioning a great difference between a stock and, let's say a 1500 mAh battery. Or am i wrong? i mean, with my current battery (more than an year old now) i'm getting 3 days of standby time with little use and with moderate use i get around 1-2 days (mostly 1 day) with moderate to heavy use when using internet...which is, i mean pretty much like any other smartphone out in the market.

That certainly doesn't coincide with my experience. I manage connections via Juice Defender (theoretically it provides me with 1.96x battery life...), with push email - but browsing, the odd game and a few phone calls means I just about get to night time to re-charge. As soon as the screen is on, the power drain is significant (tweaked auto-brightness).
My phone is just over a year old - the original battery was beginning to lose power noticeably, so I got a Mugen battery (the only brand of replacement batteries you should trust), which provides 1500mAh. I can definitely see a big difference vs the old, tired, OEM battery.
Mugen Battery has pretty good reviews and they are a reputed company too.

1000% that is the fake battery... only the cover is 2450mAH
I have bought one 1600mAh from Inno Cell Korea for 10$, it is also faked ones because its capacity is not 1600mAh
I use Battery Monitor widget pro to measure it, however it is only around 1200mAh+/-25% so it is the same as stock battery.
Anyway with ten bugs for a spare battery :d
Guys if you want better battery you can use battery from htc sensation. It`s bigger than stock one and you`ll need to break battery cover to close contacts for wi-fi work. I think it`s the simpliest solution =)

There is a whole topic explaining many options about this matter.
Check the topic about sensation battery. Or look at my guide at my signature.
It's in Greek, but you will have the concept from the photos.
The phone is working great all these months and also Wi-Fi is back to normal with other antenna.
Powered by my IceCold 8.6.1 DHD
In terms of affordability, there are at least 2 other options, instead of getting an additional battery/making a Sensation one fit in the HD:
1) an external power pack. Get a good one like NewTrent off Amazon, 5000mAh should cost you in the region of €25. Advantage - for the size of the phone, you can carry over 3x the original battery charge (and only connect it when needed, so it's not bulky 100% of the time). They even do 11000mAh packs, but they get proportionally bigger and that is about 8x the stock battery.
2) get a powerskin, currently on offer for about $20 I think on powerskin.com. Doubles capacity, can be taken off, but bulky when being used. On the plus side, it does double as a case.
I've got a 5000mAh external power pack, does the job fine, and I only take it with me/slip in into a bag if I'm going out all day on my bike (recording tracks etc) or into the countryside.
As an additional benefit, you don't need to power down when you connect either of these options, so it's more convenient than swapping a battery.
Chinese batteries are not good. The best ones are, the ones that are expensive. And you'll never have for HTC Desire HD batteries with real 1600, 1800 2450 mamp.
Try Mugen batteries, and test one from them. Others says that are ok.
