Thanks for the review. Might be something to check out for.
Just got mine today. From ioomobile. They've got it on sale for $17 + free shipping (on their website) or $19 from eBay.
See how it runs over the next few days. Usually get around 35 hours (light/minimal use) or so on miui 1.7.8 on stock battery.
I'll post back after a day or two and report if it's any better.

35 hours on miui, holy ****.
I had to go back to cm7 because miui drained 2xs as fast
Edit
I just bought one, I had great success with my extended momax batter but it was just too bulky for me

If you've got the battery drain on 1.7.8 here's the fix (install as a regular app and restart)
Hope it helps. Worked for me, had terrible drain before the fix.

for a stock fit this would be the best, if you want a larger battery with back then I would recommend their 2700
I've received my 1700 momax battery last week and it's very good!
2 days with medium usage and CM7
Could someone pls do a real test? white screen, max brightness screen on time till shutdown compariaon would be great. everything else ia just not really compareable.
I've had my Momax 1700 mah battery for about 3 weeks now and it's performing well. I have a noticable increase in battery life, deffinitely more than a day, up to almost two days depending on usage.
I'm not a heavy user, main usage would be a few calls, internet and bit of video/movie viewing a day.
I'm on Juwe's 5.3 ROM with a Semaphore 1.5/1.6 kernel. Am also just trying the latest GalaxianGT kernel and seem to be getting similar battery life.
"1e charge about 8 hours from full then drain thil empty"
what do you mean? a full battery then charge it again 8 hours? or charge it with external device? i dont understand. the rest makes sense but this is....
Got this battery from ebay (ioomobile user). I have it in my possession for one week now. It went through 3 full charge/discharge patterns and the beefed capacity is getting noticeable now. I'm easily getting 2 days out of my phone (~36 hours) compared to ~24 I was getting with the one year old original battery. I'm actually using my phone daily for music - emails - web browsing having the display on for about 3 hours/day.
I highly recommend this battery nor necessarily to the recent SGS owners but more to the ones having these gadgets for about one year .

Just ordered one from that seller, will write a short review when it arrives. Original battery after a year of moderate use is lasting 2 days for me with OC to 1,2GHz and UV.
Hi,
I'm just a simple guy using HTC Desire. It's been 1.5 years and it's time to get a new battery. I wanted to get this japanese 2430mah battery but I understand it's a scam.
So instead I wanted to opt for an original battery. However I do not understand why the original battery in the official UK htc store costs 3 times as much than it is on amazon.co.uk. Is this because it is not truely genuine? Why is it so complicated to get a new battery?
All I need is a battery that would last me from morning till I go to sleep at night. I do use bluetooth, wifi and mobile internet quite a lot. That's it.
Thanks for all your help,
Timmy
No one here knows if the batteries sold on Amazon are genuine or not?
Depends on who is selling the batteries. Is it being sold and shipped by Amazon or is it a 3rd party who is selling and shipping through Amazon Marketplace?
This is a third party. It's all very confusing. As I said above the price for what is supposedly the same battery on the HTC shop is 3 times as much.
battery not good
I bought a battery from China through dealextreme, a 1400 mAh 3,7V PISEN battery, because my orginal was getting kind of old...
It was good for 1-2 month's but after that my original 2 year old HTC battery was performing better. I would think twice before buying something else than a original battery again.
i too have fallen foul of the fake batteries, i just want something that gives me better on time without resorting to the hump back batteries
I too think I'm in need of a new battery, I guess I'll sift through ones on eBay for now..
I bought a new original htc batterie. How can I check whether it's original or crap ?

easy really should look exactly like your old one [ exactly ] maybe the numbers might be different but you can usually tell just read the battery word for word on the back if something's missing or something is added then its usually a fake. Had trouble before with Chinese copies -.- hate them
I'll be testing a 1800Mah battery soon and will post a thread about its performance, my battery is a year old and my phone deserves a new one
don't buy a battery from 3G-Power with 2400mAh..it's total crap. my 2 year old original battery is better..
My point was, my battery was good for approximate 3 months, but after that performance decreased rapidly. Even a good test would most likely say my battery was a good buy, if it was done on a new one.

Genuine HTC battery
I bought a genuine battery off Amazon (UK). Arrived this morning, seems to be identical to my genuine HTC battery. I investigated other options, but few people seemed happy with their higher mA batteries, so went for stock.
As this is my first post and XDA seems rather fascist in its approach to trying to limit noise (which doesn't work, IMHO; look at the number of posts in the Desire ICS threads about non-working cameras...), I can't post urls. I can't even post the url without the url tags. Very frustrating.

For HTC for alternative batteries try to look for Mugen Power.
which model we are talking about? but for instance for Desire Z they have 3600mAh
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...c-desire-z-t-mobile-g2-with-battery-door.html
reviews of Mugen batteries are promising.

you can try to recalibrate your battery, using either a option of your recovery or an app from the market.
My battery is nearly 2 years old, and using latest version of this ICS Rom it's now 22% after... 2 days and 14 hours of medium use !

how good is your 1800 battery ?

My advice if you want more days of usage without losing long term usability would be to go with mugen power batteries as mine has lasted 6 months with good consistant usage. This does mean that you will have to put a new battery cover on but hey, 2-3 days of usage isn't bad.
Actually, for $60 you can get a battery worth your time and money with double the power of a stock HTC Desire Battery on Amazon. I am planning to buy this soon because reviews look promising.

Sent from my HTC Desire (CDMA)
SKU: HLI-APX515CSL
Cell Type: Li-ION
Voltage: 3.7v
Capacity (mAh): 1950
Battery Door: Not Required
Rom used: my own kwbr rom
Kernel: stock kernel ICS 4.0.3
In the past I purchased several extended batteries from Mugen. I bought batteries for the hTC Wildfire, Sensation, Desire Z, HD2 and Google Nexus S. Needless to say why. Running these android devices for a full day on heavy usage can be a challenge on it's own. Besides running my own roms the battery is the first thing I replace to get better battery life.
The Mugen 1950mAh for the Sensation came in the known package including quick start guide how to calibrate the battery. Shipped the day after ordering it arrived within about 2 weeks.
The 1950mAh has a perfect fit. No need to replace the cover or fix things. First I calibrated the battery. After a few months of usage I can say the battery is great. Regular day, several calls, 2hours BT connection with nokia carkit. Reading emails and some browsing. After almost 11 hours usage and still 80% battery. That's better then I used to get with the stock battery.
The Verdict
A good battery. Although it is not cheap I consider it a must have for power users that don't want a bulky backcover with the hTC Sensation. You still need to charge the phone on a daily basis with moderate or heavy usage but at least it will last the day instead of the stock battery.
WHat the
dude 11 hours with that usage and still 80% ?! I should buy that battery. I wish the price could be cheaper though
How much did you pay for the battery?and did you order it direct from mugen?why did it take so long to get it is possible to get it in a few days.

@ kwbr
I just want to know your configuration so I have few questions
Which ROM you have? Is it GB or ICS?
Which kernel you're using? Did you change clock speed?
I would also like to see screen on time, I imagine it's next to none.
I have Mugen second week. I can use sensation couple hours longer without charging. Also notice some improvement with screen on time.
But for me it is to early for review. I will write my opinion after a longer time of using it.
I will try to add some screenshots in next few days.
edit:
Here are some screenshot
Soon I will add more to show battery life with heavy load

yea i seen that too. i would rather look at the posts with heavy use on the battery, instead of standby most of the time and barely have any time for screen on. of course, if the screen is barely on and most of the time on standby mode. the battery drain will be very minimal
Hello XDA Community, i'm a HTC Sensation owner and i got it from service 3 days ago (the phone had really frequent shutdowns and the battery only lasted like 2 hours even without using it). Altough it doesn't have those problems i experience a really weak battery... As you can see from the photos i only had a 9h and 20 minutes lifetime from 100%, with only 2 hours and 7 minutes Screen On... Today i played games around 1 hour, used the internet 5-10 minutes , talked for like 1 minute and sent 5 messages. Is it normal that a 1520 mAh battery drains so fast?
I had the same problem when I first got my Sensation. Mine was used, so the battery was already a year old, but the phone was mint. I had the same terrible drain as you have, and I hardly used mine during the day. I rooted it and tried a few ROM's, and found that so far, anything based on Bruce's CM10 gives the best battery life. Will defiantly be try the Viper ROM today though.
If you don't want to root, I would pick up one of these:

I'm going to be trying one out myself.

Hi I had same issue, tried Anker it was a good battery but I still needed more juice . I went to Mugen 3800mah battery. Now with HEAVY use I get more than 24 hours use out of one charge! I can't stress enough what a difference this battery has made for me! Yes it is expensive but for me it was worth every cent! I am a heavy user of my device and rely on it for everything from navigation to internet to gaming. This is a serious battery , it solved all my battery drain issues ! One thing through, it does make you're device a bit thicker but it still fits in pocket and feels good in my hand. For me, battery life is what I'm after so I don't at all mind the thicker phone I'm not in a beauty contest, I wanted results! This battery delivers. If your a moderate user you might not need so much juice but if you're a heavy user like I am this battery is the answer! It will not disappoint! If you find Anker is not providing enough juice and want more time on battery, do consider Mugen 3800mah. You won't worry about running out of battery Again! This battery with HEAVY use will still be on 100% two hours later!! My biggest issue was battery drain and this battery solved that problem for me. Like I mentioned its not for everyone because it will make device thicker but if you're serious about battery life it's the way to go! So depending on your use this might be an other option for you. If you use your device heavily, I highly recommend this battery. Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the tip... I'm not such a heavy user of my phone but atm its still unbealiveable short on it's life. If i would take it out of the charger at 100% and play 1 and a half hour it will get to 1%...
Have you gave Anker a try? Most people here really like Anker and its given great extended battery. It's very affordable and I think it would be a wonderful solution to your issue.battery will make a big difference. You will see. My stock battery was absolutely pathetic. After I switched it was like night And day a huge difference! I believe Anker is only about 10 to 15 dollars and you won't regret switching. This is one solution to your issue. Best wishes. You can also try changing kernels and see if that helps but I think a Anker battery will really help in your situation.

Just thought I'd put my two cents in...
Whilst a higher capacity battery will help to some extent, IMHO it's like buying a bigger hose instead of fixing the hole in the bucket.
To clarify, I do actually own an Anker 1900mAh battery as well as the stock battery, but only because it was cheap and I was interested to see how much difference it made. I switch between the two on a regular basis. I can't deny the Anker certainly has a better cycle length than stock, but as I was already achieving well in excess of a full day's use on stock battery the benefit to me was negligible.
Another clarification, I'm not one of those people who will refuse to use their phone all day and then crow about their "amazing" battery life. You buy a smartphone because you want to use it. Mine is a work phone and as such is well used every day, making/receiving calls and texts, camera shots, VPN access etc. Then there's my personal use, web browsing, eBay, bluetooth audio every time I get in the car or work truck, e-books, games and so on. Not to labour the point but the phone comes off the charger at 6 am every work day and always has some life left when it goes back on the charger at 10 or 11 pm.
I guess, partly because of what I do for a job, I'm not a fan of "bigger hammer" solutions. There is a wealth of information here on XDA and you can greatly increase your battery life and cost you nothing but a bit of time spent reading. For a start I'd suggest looking into Battery Monitor Widget and/or Better Battery Stats (this thread).
I don't know if you're rooted or not, there are huge gains to be made with rooting and the possibilities that come with that. However, my wife's completely stock One S had absolutely atrocious battery life out of the box, and of course no possibility of increasing battery capacity, but with a few tweaks and better understanding she can still get a day's use out of her phone.
Sorry for the lengthy reply, but I see a lot of "get a bigger battery" responses to these questions when there are other options you can explore
I am running an unofficial CM 10.1 ROM on my DHD and with 'slight' use I can probably get a full day out of the battery. Prior to the CM 10.1 ROM I was running a custom rooted ROM based on the final official android 2.3 ROM from HTC and I remember the battery lasting much longer (over 12-months ago). I won't be moving back to Gingerbread but want to improve my battery life and have seen good reports of the PolarCell batteries
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390392597069?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Has anyone replaced their stock battery with one of these? Any comments?
Andy
Would be interested in knowing this also. Dont suppose you took the plunge and bought one?
Hi guys
I would be interested too on this question, or another battery brand.
Only want that someone with experience tell us if possible which battery and what brand/model is the best nowadays to buy to our great Desire HD?
And if you can post the link where to buy and maybe some buyer reviews, would be wonderfully.
Because are too many "Fake" vendors nowadays.
But for some questions that I asked to other few members and one recognized developer, they said that one of best batteries are:
First - Oem
Second - Mugen
Third - Anker
....
That PolarCell I never heard do not know =S
Cheers
I guess dhd battery is a pain in the a** for everybody, I suggest you to go for sensation xe, evo 3d type batteries. There are plenty of ways to do it (with battery door or without) I was personally using without battery door because I was already using silicon cover for all phone. Btw you need to apply a small copper wire for external wireless antenna which is already built-in with your original battery door. Search for thread in this section you will find Evo3d battery thread. I have changed to HOX but still my wife is using my beloved DHD with 1950mah Mugen. Believe me it gives equal amount of satisfaction for this money. If you don't want to spend that amount, go for original Amaze 4g battery (which has the highest capacity when compare with evo 3d if I don't remember wrong) still you will be satisfied with battery life.
Please don't ask me, which rom am I using or how is battery life. It depends on people and how they are using.
I can give several examples, heavy usage with all the time 3g, bluetooth, mail sync, whatsapp, viber, browsing, auto brightness but no games and no wireless: it will handle 1.5 day.
or
Moderate usage, all the time mobile network on, a bit whatsapp, several regular calls, a bit browsing, no gaming and wireless off. My wife can easily manage for 2.5 days.
One more thing, if you will have 1950 mugen, your battery will stuck at %15, don't panic it will stay there for at least several hours (according to your usage ofc). Its some kind of a bug. I don't know if somebody found a solution.
I hope, my reply will enlighten you a bit Cheers!
Been using a Polarcell since october 2012 from the manufacturer CellePhone: (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004I227RK)
New, it lasts the same as the original for me, that means about 3 hours of screen on with about the 70% of the total battery time, automatic brightness but mainly outdoors, so I bet that the auto brightness is actually full brightness the most part of the time, using 3G and no "data sync demanding apps running in background" except whatsapp and the usual google services.
I use to charge the battery every night while I sleep and even though I'm aware that overcharging a long time is harmful I use to let it charge until I wake the next morning.
With this usage schema, I'm facing today a 20% loss approximately, because the battery skips from 80% to 100% when charging.
So is more than a year of usage, around 400 charge cycles, and for 10€ is a good investment for me.
Being from a german company inspires more confidence than chinese clones.
Hope this helps to all of you folks!
A friend of mine picked one up and he had nothing but good things to say. I'll update this post once he replies to my text for exact details!
Bought one a few days ago from http://www.ebay.de/usr/wannsee-electronic (Germany).
The one i bought is for HTC Sensation, sold as 1800 mAh. To fit in DHD i remove the "film" and im surprising to see that on the aluminiumcase of the accu is written 1700 mAh.
Contact the merchant today and wait for an answer. So I didn't know it depends on Polarcell or the reseller...
I just got one myself for Desire S, it is a 1600mAh battery. Been using it for 3 days and I'm quite satisfied with this product.. I also bought one Anker battery for Desire HD....
I can't really compare those cuz its on a different device and different ROM. But I feel that both are doing fine for now..... You can give it a try.
Btw, Anker battery comes with full package, it comes with a box and manual.... The polarcell that I received just comes with a battery with no box, nothing else..
Maybe I would suggest you to get Anker.
Don't forget to use Battery Monitor Widget to see if its actualy a good battery.
I got one today for my old DHD.After couple days of usage I'll post and my opinions.

I'm very satisfy from this battery.After couple charges for 12 hours each now my battery seems very stable. I'm running 30 hours and more with enabled 3g all the time.30-40 minutes calls including viber and 2 hours and a half display on.I think that this is a very gods result for this product.....cost 13€ .
