Hey,
a few months back i brought a Anker 1900mAh battery from ebay from a dealer in the US (I am in India)
It cost about 35$...but I wasnt getting as much battery life as expected..
Then couple of days ago i tried Du battery saver, and it showed my battery capacity on full charge as 1500 mAh only....should be 1900
this is the ebay listing for the battery
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Anker-Extend...ries&hash=item43b9b11e0b&_uhb=1#ht_1725wt_922
and the play store app Du battery saver
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5kaWFueGlub3MuZHhicyJd
Can someone please try their Anker battery on Sensation (not XE) with Du battery saver and tell me what the shown capacity is...
I intend to go after this ebay seller if he has screwed me over
Thanks,
Photo of battery attached
Maybe its an fake one but the seller has 92.6% positive feedback on ebay so i doubt he is fake.
There is a mini chance it is misfabricated like damage to the cells, do you still have the warranty card so you can send it back?
You can try to charge it for a day
Btw 35$ for 1 anker battery is way too high

I bought mine from eBay too and seems original. It's probably an app issue. Mine shows 1520mah when fully charged.

The problem is neither with the du battery saver app nor the anker battery. The mah of battery is hard coded unto kernel. So what ever battery you are going to use it shows 1520. Also the reason why battery will stay at 100% for long time during discharge. Early attempts in changing the hardcoded value in kernel was made.. But they caused bootloop so dev(s) abandoned it. Anyways sorry to blew the whistle but anker batteries turned out to have 1750mah instead of 1900 mah. But still people use it as it's better than stock

Did you measure it?
I don't know if it isn't 1900mah, but I know that it lasts a lot more than many users with stock battery. Mine's already 7 months old and I think it's a bit worse than when I bought it. But in my first cycle of ViperS 3.1.0 rom it lasted 1 day and 5 hours screen time.

most of Anker's batteries do have a common problem which is that the capacity of energy is not as what they guaranteed when several friends of mine bought it. for example, one of my college bought an Anker battery last week with the capacity of 5600mAh. they told her it can do 3times of charge to her iphone4s, which never happens. only one and a half time maybe.. so i lent to her my external battery of RAVPower bought in amazon.es, she said it was fantastic and really nice with the real capacity that the seller guaranteed and the cool shape, now she took away mine:crying::crying:.....

An app cant tell you the capacity of your battery, that's not how a battery works. if you really wanna know the exact capacity, you'll have to do it a different way:
http://denishennessy.com/2012/04/08/measuring-battery-capacity-with-an-arduino/
someone did a similar test (but without arduino, he did it "manual" with multimeters and some other tools) with different smartphone-batteries but i cant find the link....

There's no way an anker will last this long. I have an xe, and my 1730mah lasts 10-12hrs max screen off

This had me confused. Though why would anker perform so much better than xe stock, considering they have nearly equal charge (1730 mAh)?

So you're saying that in testing through actual usage you've seen better results?
All conditions being the same, you've determined that the new battery gives you a longer amount of time between charges than the stock battery does?

yes, it last longer than the stock battery.
I bought three of these batteries, because they were like $1 each from China, and all of them are no different than the stock. Grab a tool and check the actual capacity and you will see that they are exactly the same spec as the OEM battery.
By the way, this is very old news. Did you search before posting? I didn't think so.

JK or not, he never did say it was an "internal" battery.
I bought one of these, isn't really 1600 but works good as a spare once my original dies completely.
I was thinking about buying a 1500 mah battery from ebay then I read a thread stating that the Inspire 4g stock battery lasted longer. The "Mah" rating is not industry regulated so basicly a manufacture can put 1600 mah on a battery thats 1100 mah without getting reprimanded or fined. So be carefull where you buy these batterys from and make sure the Co. is reputable first.

The technology itself is the cap. For this size this is the most juice you are going to get, unless they figure out a way to pack more energy cells into the same amount of space. Which they haven't. Don't be fooled. The battery that came with phone is the best available for this phone.

I got some extended batteries and found I had to fully charge them then wipe the battery stats run it down to 0 then charge it to 100 before I saw an improvement, but now I can get like 13 or 14 hours of use on average. I also like being able to carry around a spare battery

All that did is calibrate the battery. It's not going to hold any more juice than the space allows. It's physics. Until a new technology comes out...

what is the name of this battery?
yesterday i came accross this website call Mobilefun.com
and i seen the evo3d battery which i know works in sensation.
since i was thinking of getting a original htc battery for my htc sensation.
i thought this might be a great deal because the battery was on for £22 including post.
but the thing that suprised me that i ordered the battery yesterday around 11 in the morning and i recieved the battery at 12.
here is some picture of the box and packaging.
i made this thread so anyone is looking for htc evo3d batteryu for thier senation and dont want to pay £32. then i suggest you order your battery from this website beside the delivery is very quick.
some picture of the box and accessories i recieved today.
and try this rebate code and you will get a free mobile cleaning cloth
PROMOCLOTH.
is that battery better?
did you see any different in working time of Your sensation with evo3d batterie? how many hours its working on this battery?

no just because i got the battery the battery isn't fully optimized but yesterday i fully charged my battery than i took it off from charger and turned the brightness fully up, turn the wifi, gps, bluetooth on and start playing shadowgun and my battery lasted nearly 3 hours
the real time was 2hour 39 min
wheras my orighinal htc optimize battery lasts me
1hour 55min
my normal usage on original battery is 14-15 hours. but after 5-8 full charge and fully killing the battery i will let you know my normal usage.
hm..
On my standard battery (1520 mah) it's working about 9-12 hours. Today I will buy evo3d battery.
Do you think it can work 20 hours after charging on this battery?
But I think this is gut idea to buy this battery, isn't it?

anker battery claims that they have 1900mah of power but nobody know what's the real mah. beside htc 1730mah is guaranteed 1730. because they cannot advertise wrong but since anker is 3rd party you can be guaranteed with them. beside i would rather buy a offical htc battery rather then 3rd because you can guarnteeill work
but that was my point of view but if you think anker is better than legit company batteries than go with it. because its up to you to decide what to choose.
I get evo3d batterie
Today I get my evo3d batterie. It's a little bit bigger, but it's working great on sensation I starting tasting it and after week I write is it worth to buy it
I also buy 32gb sd card for it, so I will have a lot of fun:d
hm, strange but batterie works same as original in sensation... any suggestions why?
One seller on UK eBay has the Anker 1600mAh DZ battery for £7.39 inc postage. That is a bargain price by anyone's standard, so I thought I would give it a try.I was half assuming that it would be poor quality or a knockoff etc.
Had it for a week now. First 3 or 4 charges I was very careful to charge fully overnight and then let it run down to at below 15% before plugging it in again. Full charge/discharge cycles are good for battery calibration and the good for the battery itself (apparently?!)
I have been trying out lots of different ICS betas recently and they have been chewing through my battery pretty quick. Also my stock battery is the one that came supplied with my DZ over a year ago so it was a little tired.
I always charge overnight. On my tired stock battery I would just about get through the working day and would likely need to plug in around 7:00 if I wanted to use/tinker with my phone in the evening. With the Anker I am easily getting through to the evening without going near a power point. So can get all the usage I need on a single overnight charge - perfect!
What I cannot comment on is what performance I would get from a new stock battery. Obviously it might be just as good or even better but for this price these Ankers do a very good job.
I've just ordered two more and a second replacement backplate. Guess I'm coming to terms with the fact the HTC are not going to release a high build quality, high spec, qwerty slider in the near future So we better stock up on spares/consumables whilst they are abundant and cheap
I just started using an Anker battery last week and so far it's working quite well. I've heard that non-oem batteries can lose their capacities faster so I intend to do a rigorous retest a year later.
I'd avoid buying up batteries for use in the future though. Lithium Ion batteries age with time as well and will lose capacity even without use.
For now though, it does seem to come close to the claimed capacity which was nice. I did some tests that were more controlled than simply using it for a day:
Code:
ILWT 285
1.5GHz Performance
Airplane Mode
Minimum brightness
MX Player SW Fast
Stretch Mute
Battery discharged to 89% before recharging back to 100% waiting for the trickle recharge to stop before starting video and unplugging.
Device running until 15% warning which is dismissed and then run until device auto shuts off.
Anker - Claimed 1600mah
375minutes
~250ma
1562mah
97.6%
HTC OEM 1300mah (1.5 years old)
274minutes
~250ma
1141mah
87.8%
I also ran another test with slightly different settings (which meant it couldn't be compared) where the average drain was 300ma:
319minutes
~300ma
1595mah

Hi,
I recently bought the Anker 1600 and let AnTuTu Battery Tester run trough and got a Score of 630. In the AnTuTu Score Statistics it seems to be very good...
I am on Andromadus Beta3 (ICS) @1200Mhz
Don´t know what is this in comparision to the stock battery - I didn´t let the test run trough, maybe later. My stock batt is already over 1 yr old and I charged it almost every day or every 2nd day - so I don´t know if the result would be comparable...
Anyone knows about AnTuTu results of the stock battery?

you should test it with the exact rom, got 466 with andromadus on a new installation 768mhz, can't exactly remember other settings.
I'm seriously thinking of getting a new battery.
Anker doesn't need sanding or an extended battery cover, right? can't understand why the OP needed to buy a new one
No it fits fine with the original cover and is quite cheap as well - bought it at Amazon for abour 13 EUR including shipping. I think 466 is not so bad but I feel that Andromadus rom needs a lot of juice too.
With the new Anker I´ve got more or less the same duration like on cm 7.1 stable with stock battery...
Just got my anker in, excited. It fit perfectly, was @ 67% when I put it in, going to charge it all the way up and see what kind of results I can get with this badboy.
I don't know why but I'm going to trickle charge down to 75 then back up, then down to 50 then back up then let it roll. Me just being stupid.

After a couple of recharges now I think the Anker is even getting better - but I am not getting more than 4hrs "screen on" @Andromadus. But for a 10EUR battery not bad.

This is the one I bought yesterday:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220928813853
The seller gets good feedback from this and other forums and I'm pretty sure the batteries are genuine Anker. I believe it's the same seller as MaxWiz used as they were selling the same battery for £7.39 in February.
Can anyone please tell me how to get the best from a new battery? I hear different opinions on 'conditioning' batteries and do's and don'ts of charging/discharging.
Damn good service from the seller! Bought on the Sunday, dispatched on the Monday and arrived this morning. One working day as opposed to the advertised 5-7.
From the packaging, it looks genuine. The seller also uses Amazon marketplace which is probably why it came in Amazon packaging. Learned that 4-5 full charges and full discharges is the right way to treat a new battery so that's what I'll be doing.
I wouldn't fully discharge as its not good for it. Do a little more research, you'll find differing ways but the authorities on lithium ion batteries will tell you a full discharge is unhealthy

As you mention, I've seen a variety of methods, some quite elaborate. The manual that comes with the Anker battery says 4-5 full charges/discharges.
Based on your knowledge, at what percentage would you recommend plugging back the charger?
15 to 20%

Thanks, I'll do that.
I made the mistake of not charging it for several hours before letting it discharge. I unplugged when it got to 100% and let it drain to 84% before I read that the first charge should be several hours. I've plugged it back on charge again and will leave it overnight before unplugging. Hope I haven't knackered the battery
I'd also like to buy a battery, but it seems that the eBay seller from the link posted by Chem23 does not ship to Romania.
D'you have any recommendations as to what should I order, that ships to continental Europe (and Romania)?
Just like to say I love this battery. I can easily get 12-13 hours of heavy, heavy use with it. The best I've gone with intermitted heavy use is 22 hours. That is definitely a far cry from the 8 hrs maybe I would get with the stock battery.

The same seller sells via Amazon as LaptopMateUK. It may be worth looking at Amazon and checking if he can ship to Romania. Good luck!
Just got one of these, looking good so far, been very disappointed with the stock batterys inability to cope with all my tinkering and screen on time, hoping this will be the answer or at least a competent spare to keep in my wallet....
Checked Amazon but shipping is pretty expensive to Romania, higher that the battery itself... I'll check a few local stores, maybe one'll have this battery for sale.
I didn't find any other stores online where they send to the Europe mainland, and since i don't have a creditcard, I'm not able to buy on amazon. Anyone has any ideas where to get it instead?
Hello
Im going to put a larger capacity battery in my Desire Z and I wanted some recommendations. Also, normal sizes (as in demensions); None that come with a additional cover to compensate for the normal size this making the phone bigger.
Ankers 1600mAh, lasts for me more than 2 days between charges. Got mine for a fiver off eBay, brand new.

Hi,
I'll also went with the Anker. 2 Days without charging even when using custom roms... Definetely a good choice for this Price!
riahc3, if you ask for advice, don't argue about there being higher capacity batteries, if you want the mugen go get it, but if you asked advice in the first place then don't get annoyed when people don't give you the answer you want to hear. Sorry, that's just the way I see it.
If you're after numbers rather than advice, take both. Look at my screenies, yeah I know I'm a light user, under clocked and had a sneaky charge in between but this was on CM10.1 build 15 which supposedly has battery problems, and as you can see I listened to music for a couple of hours as well. Also everyone else here has gotten at least 2 days between charge with Ankers.
battery info
I am also thinking about buying a new battery but I think that it doesn't matter how much mAh of the battery has. I think that real question is how will be after 6 months of usage. Most of these aftermarket batteries are start good but after few weeks or months they become useless. So we need real user feedback. Is there anyone who uses any of the aftermarket battery more than few months?
I've started to use JellyBaby v1.5 ROM and I've decided to buy new battery instead of new device.

I am also thinking about buying a new battery but I think that it doesn't matter how much mAh of the battery has. I think that real question is how will be after 6 months of usage. Most of these aftermarket batteries are start good but after few weeks or months they become useless. So we need real user feedback. Is there anyone who uses any of the aftermarket battery more than few months?

I've been using the Mugen battery for over two years now. Still get good battery life, although playing games drains it pretty fast. I can last two full days if I try, but it's pushing it. One day is easy.
2 day is sufficient

I don't know about battery life of iPhone 5, S3, Note2, etc but I think that under normal circumstances battery life of our phones should be 2 days.
Do you use home-screen widget or lock screen widget? Does they have any effect on battery life?
aftermarket battery? you're better off getting a oem, a lot of aftermarkets don't live up to the levels they advertise.
I recommend the evo 4g design battery, it fits perfect in our devices at a whopping 1520 mah compared to stock's 1300mah

A 200 mah difference wont matter
But 3 times stock mah means something

a bit off topic, but bought my t-mobile g2 from ebay, and it came up in 1450 battery, instead of 1300??

Mugen
Hi,
I had the Seidio one which was good and lasted for more than 1.5 years. Now I have the Mugen one and feel like it's gettimng worse after only 8 months.
Cheers, Ralf
While looking for new battery for my sensation, found this battery.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2450MAH-Hig..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item3a769ad5b7
It a 2450MAH High Capacity Japanese Battery and it only $6! I was wondering if anyone have tried this and should I buy this? I was gonna buy an anker but after looking at some battery on ebay found this. There are also 2 of these plus a charger for only $10! Way cheaper than the anker...

It has been proven many times that the 2450mah claim for this battery is extremely exaggerated.
If a battery manufacturer will lie (quite a large lie) about the specs, then I would also highly doubt the quality & longevity of it.
Also, I really doubt they are made in Japan.
So NO, go and buy an Anker in other words, they are by far the best.

Ok thanks. One more thing, does the charger that is included with the anker have usb? Just one anker battery cost $17 and 2 anker plus a charger cost $30. I'm only gonna need one battery but looking at my charger which is a bit ripped I want another charger just to be safe. So was wondering if the anker charger included in the pack of 2 battery has usb plug like the stock charger.

Well the charger I got from Anker has a micro-usb connection input (female), but there is nothing else supplied. So you need another HTC charger (or similar) to power it up.
Anker or Mugen power.
I personaly bought the Mugen power (1950 Mah ) and I'm very happy with it's performance.
It's true that it's more expensive that the Anker batery but it had some better argumented reviews at the time I was searching plus the thermometer (I like to know if and whae the battery gets warmer).
As you can see to this link he sells thousands batteries. I bought too "gold" batteries for friends. They didn't said me something bad. For me i afraid to take something like that. Maybe go to Anker battery at future
Getting my gold batteries this week... Anker sucks

gold battery is cheaper than anker
I was using gold battery on my HTC DHD it worked really good for more than a year after that it started to drain faster but anyway it was better than original battery (talking about lasting time)

ok after all this time using gold battery from ebay I can confirm it works fine. I'm still putting my phone on charge every evening but I'm just used to doing that. phone can last three day on moderate usage no gaming just phone calls, texting, some browsing and so on. much better than original battery. from my experience with two different HTC phones with the same kind of cheap gold battery I can confirm it works fine and is high quality.

Saying that it is high quality seems a little like exaggeration.
But I guess it works somewhat OK.
I don't think it is gonna last long though.

i used my HTC DHD for over a year with gold battery, then gave it to my brother and he is now using this phone around a year long with same battery what he says that the phone lasts at least two days for him. and two days is still longer than I was getting with my HTC DHD with brand new original battery. so think what you want but honestly see no point in buying quite expensive anker battery or what ever else you guys are using.

i got 2 anker batteries and a wall charger for £13 off eBay and they have done me quite well. i use one during the day and then (7am - 5pm) and then i have my other one charging ready for me to just pop into my phone. so I'm never out of power. i also have one of the 2450mah ones and i see the anker lasts at least 3 hours longer.
