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?

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.

Tried cheap 9$ 3500mAh battery (tests included)

I found this one 3500mAh and ordered it : http://www.ebay.com/itm/251065892927
for 9$ I'm willing to give it a try (and even though it may be the exact same one from a chinese seller, I prefer to have it ship from a US location).

Yea I received it a week ago, I like it so far.
The battery door you can tell is cheap when you get it, however I've gotten use to it fast, the slightly rubberized texture is a nice feel for me and seems to fit better in my hands now.
After about 2, 3 days of charge up, drain down, charge up it seems to be nicely consistent now in the power usage can easily get a couple of days out of it before needing a charge (mostly on account of both my SetCPU profile and undervolting table).
Basically once fully charged it could take about 1.5-2 hours before it would end up showing 99% on stuff like Google Music, email, Facebook, etc.
A battery screenshot back when I was doing a bit of music and background notifications (fb, email, twitter, Skype, etc logged in and notifying around 10-15 minute mark), screen not on as often, but I don't usually have my screen on all that often especially as I don't normally sit thru a game that long.
Charges pretty fast at least.
I don't remember 100% what I did at what specific time frame, but I know from 42% to 36% I was watching an Episode of Heroes so bout 40ish minutes of netflix there.
EDIT (7/26/2012):
I drained the battery down til the phone died, and used a battery monitoring app to measure the mV charging back up from 0% to 100%. Also a mAh measurement of the battery. (took about 5 hours to drain the battery down with everything running GPS, 100% screen, wifi, bluetooth, FM radio, 90%+ CPU load, etc)

Thanks for the info, I will definitely be getting one.
Hopefully it will render the same results for my phone.

The phone it self is a brick, but this brick has ascended past a normal brick, it has become a super brick!! im not joking lol but on how do you curry that around? its like we've gone back to the 90's

Lol It's not that big, I can actually put it in my pant's pocket just fine. If I can still wrap my first set of knuckles around the lip of the phone it's still not too thick, notice that the whole thing is not thicker than the width of my thumb.

it seems so uncomfortable... I imagine myself typing with that thing on my hand! Nice to know anyways that it's a real working battery!

Looks nice, thanks! I'm getting one !
Just ordered one.
How long did it take to ship to you?
( I am from Holland )

Being that I'm in the United States (Grand Rapids, Michigan), and the seller was also in the United States (Georgia) I paid 6/21 Thursday and received it on monday morning 6/25. One of the reasons I picked this seller was because shipping was from the US and not from China, even if the product itself was probably identical to the Chinese shippers.
If you were in Holland, Michigan (which is bout a half an hour drive from me) you'd probably get it in the same time frame. Not sure about Georgia, USA to Holland (EU), probably faster than from Shanghai maybe.
With the latest EliteKernel I'm getting even better battery life (primarily in screen off mode) so will probably be posting another screenshot in the next day or so.

Okai, thanks!
Cannot wait ^^

what kind of mAh does the one you got off ebay have?
and does it get hot at all?
i'm thinking of getting one of these... especially because cm9 seems to be draining my battery pretty fast.

The one I bought is 3500mAh (should say the same on that specific ebay listing).
Yea CM9 was eating my battery like crazy which is why I switched over to EliteMod ICS (based on the CM9 Kernel, but uses AOKP for the rest of it and his own tweaks).

I actually got one few moths ago and Ive got to say, that using hw keyboard is incredibly easy even with this battery mounted. I would say mby easier than with normal one.

Yea I find it easier because the extra 'lip' on the battery door makes it easier to grasp when working in landscape mode. Normally landscape isn't a problem if you're not using the keyboard at all, but once you slide out the keyboard the working thickness you have to grab onto is effectively halved with the original battery door.

Wow, ~2 days of battery life? Is it really worth the extra bulk, though? And how long does it take to fully charge?

The day it arrived it took about 4-5 hours to be considered 'charged', when I first got it, it said 66% but thats because it was going off the info from the stock battery when it was actually near dead. So for a couple hours it'll actually say 99% until it finally hits the top at 100%. It takes a couple of days for the battery stats to become accurate it seems, but you could go a full day easy after the first 5-6 hour charge.
I've gotten setCPU profile tweaked and undervolting as low as I can while keeping 122-1286 stable, but I don't use it 24/7 at full brightness so yes it could go without a charge for over a day and a half. (though seems longer now that the new EliteKernel is actually easier on the battery once again).
With my original stock 1300mAh battery if I were to keep it in standby I could probably best around 18-20 hours, but that is if I didn't actually have the screen on most of the time.
If I get a chance to actually run down the battery I'll get a screenshot.
Far as the bulk, it actually doesn't bother me as much as some people may think, I actually prefer the cheap semi-rubberized backing on it to the chrome door, and it's easier for me to grip especially in landscape orientation, and I don't wear tight jeans or anything like that. But yea may seem like a brick when our phones are getting thinner and thinner.
I went with that ebay listing because I didn't like how some of the more expensive offerings (22 to 80$) had a dome-like covering over the speaker as opposed to the flat flush that this has, and the gamble thus far seems to have paid off.

Hmm this is sort of unrelated to the main topic, so I'll apologize, but:
Recently, my Desire Z got some water damage. Seems to be working fine at the moment, but I notice the battery's been overheating, despite relatively moderate use, and playing games such as Bloons TD resulted in a considerably toasty back cover. Does this seem like a good time to switch out my battery?

Short answer yes, why not try out the one in the op? Seems promising!

Thanks for answering! I'm considering a 1800mAh one though, as I prefer retaining the phone's original exterior appearance.

I just got mine about two weeks ago so here is my review. I ordered the same one as the OP on ebay and paid $6. This is one of the best mods done to my phone! I can easily get 3-4 days out of my phone before having to charge. I'm on stock GB. Sure it ads weight and thickness but not having to worry about my phone making it through my 12 hour work shift is well worth it. I previously had a 2200mah ebay battery made for the Evo 4G. The battery door no longer fit so I just used a cheap ebay case. I could get 12-14 hours out of it, but it started to wear out and I was lucky to get 10 hours out of it. This 3500mah battery is def worth it.

Good to know, I been pretty much on EliteMod ICS since I had the battery, but least your post gives me kind of an idea what stock would be like (or better yet what something like G2Lite 1.6 would be like).

Trying to drain down my battery, wasn't draining fast enough. So grabbed a battery draining app, gps, screen to 100%, BT, CPU load up.
Got setCPU profile set to 1286mhz, performance governor. And Spirit FM running in the background.
It's down to 33% so far, once I can get it under 5% or so I'll get it plugged in and charging up so can get an idea of the battery's minimum mv vs maximum mv, and 'measured' mAh. I previously did it from 29% to 100% with a measured mAh around 2700.

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..

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).

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).

Just replaced my battery and it hasn't improve one bit

Hey guys, I just replaced my battery 3 days ago and I noticed no difference in screen on time. I always get 4 hours and never above that. My old battery was 2+ years old and I replaced it with a brand new, but still no improvements! I'm using BlackDiamond V2 pie rom with ArianoxxKernel, while using basic Social media apps such as instagram, snapchat, facebook and twitter.
AccuBattery estimates only about 80% battery health. Would anyone be able to help me out? I really want to know how other people are able to get 6-7+ hour of SOT.

1) flash this file. It fixes battery capacity (make it 3600 mah) and removes Note Fan Edition text on power menu.
2) Reset your battery cycle: guide here
3) Delete that useless AccuBattery app and check your battery health with Phone INFO ★SAM★
If you see %80 even after they sold you 2nd hand battery or cheap fake one. I changed mine about 2 weeks ago and shows %100 health. It was %98.80 at first after 3 cycles became %100.

yes, you have to.

@rroyy If after 1 cycle it shows 76% it's RIP? Bad battery? If so could you link me some trusted sellers? All the local shops sell same kind of battery I bought...

they probably sold you original but used battery as new. That's comon on online hopping. I replaced mine on trusted service point in Turkey. Only online parts provider I can trust is ifixit.com

Ahm, I just noticed the battery health is going down and down by like 0.10% an hour. It must be false information right? I'm lost now

that is probably right but give it couple of days to settle. When I had my new battery health was about %97-98 after couple of cycles (I'm on 17 now I guess) It became %100. But I'm quite sure that they sold you used battery that's why you should buy new one and request refund from them.

Oke, thanks for helping. One thing that I'm pretty certain is that it must be new since the manufacturing date on the battery was 2018-11 or 2018-12. Something like that so even if it were used, I don't think it would degrade all the way down to 76% ? Cuz my old one was manufactured in 2016-11-xx and it was 81% still .

I hope not. The seller is trusted in my country and battery had not been opened yet or had any glue or any scratches on it. I hope it will settle after some time and if no, I may was well need to buy a new one. Also from iFixit battery would cost me as much as 50$ with delivery fees included So not sure if it's actually worth to pay that much.

It'll show %100 after 2-3 cycles. Happy to hear that you have it sorted out. Enjoy your "new" device

It dropped to 95% after 1day. Is it ok? I'm getting concerned because health is dropping again. Not sure what's causing it. @rroyy

keep using It It should be up to %100. You got exact healt value as I get. Don't remember If it drop to 95 at first but mine start on 97.5 and than became 100.
make full decharge before charging for device (just for 2-3 cycles)

Replacement battery

Figured I'd try replacing the battery, it's been about 3 years and I'm at like 80% health or so.
Does anyone know if any of these are worth trying?

From the ones I've seen the Nohon one has the most and best reviews but I've also read on reddit and other places some comments that they're not that good. Is there any difference or all the same just different brand?

I'm using Nohon ATM. It's fine but not perfect. After 2-3 weeks battery condition dropped to ~90% and its holding this from few months. Other and for sure not genuine. I have replaced my battery because it has under 70% health.

I guess I will try the Nohon as well. The rest are cheap enough as well where I can try them if the Nohon one doesn't work.
My battery is around 80% and it discharges super fast even when not in use, so that's why I'm thinking of replacing it. Thanks

There is one more thing worth mentioning. With Nohon battery charging over 20W is not working.

Oh well, that's not that bad, only 10 less than the warp charger

I ordered the first link back in November (2022 100% Original New Replacement Battery 4000mAh BLP699 For OnePlus 7Pro) and it appears to be OEM. Different manufacturer from my original battery, but so far it seems to be providing the full 4000mAh and dash charging is working fine. Battery manufacture date was October 2022, which is brand spanking new. It also comes with some of the tools required.

So far so good.

How do the batteries you bought hold up? I am currently at 55% original capacity and cannot decide what to buy...

I bought a BLP745 for my 7T Pro from the same AliExpress store as you, my battery was also dated October 2022. I did the swap yesterday and last night was the first charge to 100%. So far two hours have passed since I unplugged and I'm at 97%. With my original battery, I would have been at around 85% by now. I'm using accubattery to see what the capacity of the new battery is, I'll report back in a week or so. I have yet to try warp charge also, never really used it previously to be honest. I usually just let my phone slow charge over night for the past three years.

In the last month and a half, very solid. Accubattery is reporting 104% of design capacity.

Nice. Make sure you do a few full drain to 0% and recharge cycles to calibrate. I had some shutoffs at 20% before I did the full cycle calibrations

Not sure. I'm not on OOS

Appreciate the information shared here. I'm pretty sure that I need to do this for my 7 Pro soon.
The Ali Express site is showing estimated delivery of July 15 (I'm in the NYC area). Has anyone found a reliable source for these batteries with faster delivery to the US?

A couple weeks with that one and it works like a champ. Hopefully it will stay that way
