Droid Charge 2600mah extended battery and door

Well today my extended battery arrived. I get a 25% corporate discount on accessories, and that combined with the BAT30 coupon code yielded a pretty nice discount Anyway here are some pics of the phone with the battery. I just received it so I can't comment on battery life yet, but I'm guessing it will be amazing from the looks of it. It looks like it probably wont fit the car dock which I do own. I'll have to let you guys know if it fits or not. I don't have the multimedia dock but I'm pretty sure that is definitely out of the question, as this battery makes the phone much thicker. It should get me through a night at work and that's all that matters.

That is pretty ridiculous lol

Thanks for posting these pix. I have been debating ordering one, but was worried that it would be even thicker than the extended battery I had for the Thunderbolt.
Looks like a nice option honestly..

It's not too bad in the pocket honestly as long as you don't wear super tight jeans. The phone won't fit in the official car dock with the battery but I'll be mainly using this when I'm at work and the standard battery when Im out and about so not a big deal. I'm sure a generic car mount thats adjustable would be able to work. As far as battery life goes I'll have to post back in a few days once I get an idea of how long it lasts.

that right there is seriously EFF'ING HUUUUGE!!!!!! Man, I knew it'd be thicker and fatter, but I didn't realize it'd be like THAT!!!
At any rate, let us know of the battery life once you've test it out.
And definitely thanks for the pictures!

Where did you order it from?

I ordered it from Verizons website. The battery door with the discount was $9 and the battery was $20. The battery is the same extended battery used in the Continuum.

Just out if curiosity...how long does it take to charge that thing up fully?

Looks to be about the same thickness as the Thunderbolt extended battery. The back case on this version seems a lot nicer than the Tbolt version as well..

Yep that's the same battery. Order that along with the door. As for the speaker it sounds about the same honestly. Lastly it takes a considerable longer amount of time to charge it compared to the stock battery. The stock charger is 5v at 1amp. Im trying to find a charger that is like 1.2 or 1.5a but im not sure if such a charger exists.

Bought it and the door.

Good deal, hey just curious what kind of battery life are you getting with the stock battery. I only had my phone two days before I got the extended battery, so I never really got a chance to see what the battery life was like. Like how many hours does it last if you leave 4g on and you use the phone like normal? If anyone else reads this, feel free to chime in with your battery life as well.

About 6-10 hours. What are you getting on the extended?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

10-12 hours and that's with reasonable usage. Screen on full brightness. Always on data.
In SetCPU I have a screen off profile that clocks the phone to 100mhz and a battery <30% to 200mhz.

I assume everyone noticed that the battery someone posted earlier is for a Samsung Continuum. I also assume that you guys confirmed that it worked with the Charge I also assume that there is no difference between the 2600mah battery for the Continuum and Charge.
Please confirm/deny if you happened to order the battery and cover from Ebay.

I can confirm that the two phones use the same batteries. When I ordered the extended battery from Verizon I ordered the Extended battery door for the Charge and I ordered the Extended battery for the Continuum, beings there was no link for a Droid Charge extended battery. However, once the battery arrived the battery came in a Droid Charge branded box which I didn't show in the pictures I posted earlier.

On the standard battery I seem to get about 6-8 hrs with light to moderate usage and less than that if I use the phone heavily. That's leaving 4g on all the time and syncing two google accounts with all the data syncing turned on. I was hoping for better than that, coming from the Droid X but considering the phone is 4g it's not bad I guess. As far as the extended battery goes, I'm going to wait about a week to post my average usage, that way I give the battery time to make a few cycles and settle in. Also I want to see if resetting the battery stats in Clockworkmod recovery yields better results vs. not resetting battery stats.

So far yes I have. I reset my battery stats today and so far I have only been able to fully charge the battery once. The battery takes awhile to charge and I've been pretty busy as of late. Tomorrow morning ill fully charge it and run it all the way day. Ill let you know how many hrs it lasts.
Beamed from my SCH-I510

new battery makes a world of difference!!!

I noticed one day that my battery stats wouldn't reset after charging it or a battery pull. If the battery was anywhere above 50% and I did a pull, it would restart showing 100%. It ended up getting to the point that I couldn't use the phone for more than 5 minutes straight because it would die. I've had the phone almost a year, so I didn't think the battery would go out so quickly.
I went to the Tmobile store and they pulled the battery and told me to feel it. There is a hump/rounding that happens to the battery when it is shot or overcharged or something like that.
I got my replacement in yesterday and charged it to 100%, then did a battery calibration this morning at 0430 after I took it off the charger. Here it is 0032 and I have 25% battery life left! Now, I am running Juicy Defender in aggressive mode, so I'm sure that helps quite a bit.
Other than that, I've been running CM7's last nightly (#252 I think), Radio 26.09.04.26, and kernel faux 1.0.7 CFS+ low voltage.a
I wanted to share in case anyone was having similar issues. I also forgot to mention that I got the battery for free and just had to pay for the standard ground shipping. Can't beat that!!

It's a stock HTC replacement. I ended up getting close to 32 hours on the first charge.

Wow. That's awesome. I bought two anker 1550 mAh batteries on amazon. $10.87 delivered. Best thing I've ever done.

Well, screen on time is the real teller. Usually between 3 and 4 hours. When you see people getting 4 plus, you know their ROM/kernel/tweaks combo is dialed.
To illustrate, I charged and unplugged my phone before bed. When I got up it was at 11h 5m, 100%. But it had been laying there. 10 min after I started using it, it started dropping.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. That was the worst for me! Surprisingly, im not experiencing that rapid drain yet. I was before the new battery.
I know it's only day two, but for how I use my phone on a regular basis around campus and in my car, im very pleased.

pinch the battery around the middle and slide your fingers toward the top of it (away from the contacts), then reverse. See if you feel a rounding or slight hump. If you do, then you might be due for one.

Can't really feel it.can it be something else or only cause of that?.does it have to feel or can the bump be noticeble too

Same here, I bought a new battery last week and this new battery is making one hell of a difference. Getting over a day with heavy usage on the new battery (straight Modern Combat 3, Sonic 4 Ep1 and Frontline Commando all day).

I really dont know what to tell you other than take it into a store and see if they can get you a replacement or troubleshoot it for you. I'm not an expert, so I dont want to pass bad information. This just happened to work for me and I thought it would help others. Good luck!
If they do charge you for the battery, try looking into the anker 1550 mAh batteries that estallings15 mentioned. They worked for him.

I wish I had taken pictures of my old Motorola battery. It was bulging so badly that it should have been on TV's The Biggest Loser. The cells will expand in time. The replacement battery actually rattled around for the first few months.

I highly recommend the 3rd party battery, that has 1800 ( or 1700) mah and is not extended. Fits perfectly and it gives you easy 18 hours with heavy use

I managed to get a new OEM battery from HTC because of overheating issues (call them!).
Before I would end the day at 15%. I can manage with 70% now
Never tried aftermarket stuff though

Hmm, I think that I may be having the same problem actually. How did you go about telling them about your problem/getting them to replace it? You say that you're running CM7, so you're rooted and installed a custom ROM, which would void the warranty. Did the T-mobile employees give you any hassle with that?

Bad reading of battery charge level.

Andida 1800mah battery

Purchased this battery on ebay the other week and its been great. so far I've been conditioning the battery as stated in the ebay seller post by draining the battery 4 times. Each time the battery lasts longer and longer. Average battery life on the stock oem was about 14hrs with moderate use. The new battery has so far been 16+ hours with today giving me 20 hours. The stock battery never gave me this kind of life before. For $15 I'd say this is a steal for the ammount of performance you get. The seller I got the battery from was called ladyblue, I will post a link to the store when I get to my pc later today.
EDIT: Here's the link

pookend which
Interesting... but no special brand?
And the size is not bigger? I saw a battery which was bigger than the normal one and comes with a special case.

No special case, it fits in the same slot. It definitely weighs more than the OEM battery. Andida is big brand, they make batteries for lots of phones just check out the rest of the store. Andida even has a web page http://www.andida.hk/en/main.asp

I could have sworn any larger mah batteries - EDIT - for the Nexus One -/EDIT- would require the battery to be larger then the stock...
Kind of skeptical on this one.

Perhaps I will order this, it sounds really good and the price is not too high.
As long the battery will not explode around me...

Does it give you correct readings in Battery Calibrator?

No, the battery reads 1450-1500mAh. I just got it and calibrated it once already. I want to do a drain test and see if does any better than the stock battery before leaving negative feedback on the item.

IMO it lasts a bit longer than the stock battery. Its not anything mind blowing but you get like an hour or two more than what you did before... i noticed that the battery screws around with the Battery status. Sometimes you will see that its at like 15% but if you leave the screen off it will "Charge up" and it will go up to like 23%.

How long does your phone work and under which conditions ?

well, it's hard to say. it depends on how to use. for me, it lasts all day(daytime), compair to an orignal one lasting about 8h.

Sounds good!

Thanks the for recommendation. It looks like the N1 will get Jelly Bean thanks to Evelvolv, so why not give the trusty One a new battery.

I have this battery for some like three weeks.
Problem is calibration.
I had the problem that I missed just an hour battery time with my stock battery every day.
This is no problem with this battery anymore.
Yet I guess the performance could be better it will go only to 92% of full load, at least said so by the nexus one battery calibrator.
Also when the battery goes low at some point android will report a low battery and display a yellow bar. Short time later it is back to green. I guess this is due to false calibration.
I want to calibrate it with nexus one battery calibrator.
But here I can not set the maximum of 1800mAh it will only set a really high number of "27306" when I try to set "1800".
Also Capacity is said to be 104856 mAh.
Anyone with the same problem?

as i said, it works well with CM7.2. it indicates a battery life in the way it should be.

I tried the one from the thread.
I guess it is due to the battery sending false data or the app reading it wrong.
I calibrated it manually now.
I discharged it completly. Then put it on again with the charger connected.
I pulled the charger when it was booted and let it discharge for about a minute or such.
Then I set it to airplane and did not touch it overnight.
Now the battery runs much longer.
I had with stock battery after a normal day of use usually not enough battery. It usually died in the evening at work.
Now leaving work I still have a bit less than half of the battery left.
Great!

Great stuff

wich battery?

Hi, i want to buy a new battery for my DHD. I hear talking about mugen 1500 for DHD, is it really better than original one. Thanks

Hi, thanks for this post, because I have same question too.
I already search for all Desire HD Forum, and search throught all the xda site (other forums too).
Nowadays the information is already old and battery brands have already upgraded/envolve to better qualities and advances, and maybe are already better brands than mugen and anker, which xda members suggest in the past as the best.
Please tell us all users of xda with desire hd and that had in the past the desire hd (like Lordclockan great developer) which battery brand and model was the best and longest for you?
Was great if. All great developers of desire HD, of present and past could tell us too, their opinion and what they use or recommend?
OEM, Mugen, Anker, Seidio, Hyperion, Andida, Qcell, or others...?
Thank you so much for everything that you do for us, all work of all Developers here on Xda is Amazing!! Because all Developers are way better than workers of all smartphones and devices brands!
Its great that the best Workers and professionals are all here, because if you were employers of the market brands like Samsung, Htc, and so on, the xda site maybe never existed, and the world was worst without You great Developers!!
Congratulations too all Devs, users, and all members!
Sorry for long post but sometimes we need to tell to the great people, how much they are good and evidence their qualities =)
Congratulations XDA!!

I got my Desire HD when it came out.
I'm still using the battery it came with.
With some precaution and care it can last about 5 years.
My phone is on for 24/7 365 a year, i try as much as possible to charge it before it hits 50%.
Lithium battery's don't like to be discharged below that, it's possible but reduces life drastically.
But for new battery be sure to get a quality one and charge at 50% if possible than it will last at least as long as mine.
(Heared good things about the 1st 3 in your little list; OEM, Mugen and Anker.)

Use Battery Monitor Widget pro to diagnose your current battery conditions. Discharge untill the phone auto turnoff then continous charge to 100%+2hours more (when you see 0mAh on BMW widget) go to Calibration Tab to check your battery condition. The measured xxxxmAh +/- ?% is your answer.
Mine:
- 1.5 years OEM battery now is ~900mAh+/-9%
- New 1300mAh Coral battery (just used a months) is 1265mAh+/-8%
- A 1600mAh on ebay but very bad that after 2month of usage it is only 650mAh+/-15% (Don't believe in high capacity battery anymore)
With current ROM + with normal usage, I can surf 2days with this battery - Coral

Yes, battery monitor widget is a perfect app.
I will reinstall it and calibrate my OEM battery to test it again.

Thank you to Both, coolpixs4 and HanZie82.
I had bought months ago that app, but though that the benefits vs battery drain not value installed, so alternate for current widget app.
So in your opinion the battery monitor widget pro don't drain any battery continuous or don't worth have one more background process?
I will do what you recommended me, at least to measure the battery condition.
Thanks

Of course it will drain some part of battery but NOT MUCH.
Since, you use that *.apk just for investigating your current battery condition to see how good your current battery.
After that, you can remove widget or just stop it.

I still have 1109 mAh availible from my OEM battery wich is as old as the phone. (which i bought when it was new).

I just recently bought a newer "higher capacity" battery for my Inspiremake 4G and should be here tomorrow. I currently have stock battery in it and barley lasts an hour using minimal apps and sync off, screen brightness down, WiFi off, and others.
Ordered a new one from a company called Andida and its rated at 1800 mAh.
Not sure how it will do but with such slim design can't make it "fatter". We shall see tomorrow or Tuesday latest,

How old is your phone? Mine is 2.5 years old and it still works quite fine. Probably just a couple of hours less then in the beginning.

I've just bought a 2500mAh battery from eBay, and its shown to be a vast improvement on the 3 year old stock battery that preceded it.
You should always monitor your battery usage anyway, as a means to prolong your usage, but the stock DHD batteries are now long outdated, and better performance can be bought at quite a reasonable price (I paid just £7.99 inc. postage).
Up to now, I've been getting around 17-18 hours on battery, with some quite heavy usage. Before, on the stock battery, I was lucky to get 5..

I'm found an old topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344761 . HTC Evo 3D and Sensation Battery Working in Desire HD.

Hi,
I've had my DHD for a couple months now and the battery life isn't brilliant. My brother had ir before me for 2 years and then upgraded. I used the battery monitor widget app and this is what I'm getting:
- Health: Good 30.0C/3715mV
- Techno: Li-ion 261/831mAh
- Available: 26% -143mAh
I decided to buy a new battery and I went for a 2430mAh gold battery that I found on eBay

This battery doesn't have temperature sensor, will always show 24 degrees.
It's like stock no more current capacity.
After a while, let's say 6 months is getting so inflated so that is very hard to take it out or put it back in the phone slot. If you remove the sticker you will see that is metal and your risk a shortcut inside the phone. Removing the sticker will not help introducing the battery in phone slot (still inflated).

i don't have those 3 batteries anymore, just the one now, the other 2 are thrown away.

Sounds weird..
But you sure as hell buy some expensive batteries if 3 cost you 75€.
Try an Anker battery. I heard they are reliable. Costs 10€ a piece in german amazon, and they're good.

Yes all batteries should be flat...Did you try new battery with different ROM ? Maybe you are heavy user and you overheat your battery(To much time on phone,you are using your phone while charging etc..)you should check you battery temp when you are on the phone (dial *#*#4636#*#* and go in to battery info) and please use your original htc charger if you do tests with new battery and different rom ... If is the same maybe you have hardware issues..
This is just my opinion
