Is there a battery available for the HD2 with greater capacity than the stock unit, that fits in the same battery slot? I'd like to upgrade without having to replace the back cover or use a bulky addon.
I purchased an Andida 1600mAh battery on eBay about two months ago. It has a six (6) month warranty, and fits my HD2 US version without any problems.
So far, I've been happy with it. It lasted through an entire round (4.5 hours) of golf yesterday powering the GolfLogix GPS application, and for me it routinely lasts several hours or more longer than the T-Mobile US stock battery.

I got one of these and it lasts longer than the stock battery by quite a while, but again ebay so buyer beware ....
Can you direct me to a link to the battery?

Sorry, I can't provide a link. eBay only shows purchases won over the past 60 days, and I bought my battery prior to that. However, I did save the battery's packaging. The website for Andida is:
http://www.andida.hk
The ID number for my battery is: GB/T 18287-2000, if that helps.

There is a link to one in my post above it works well ....
Is 1600mAh the largest battery available without changing the back panel?
Screen shots of the "official" extended battery with the kickstand make it very unappealing. Before I switched out of my Dash, I bought a replacement battery at Radio Shack. Same size, but better specs - 1100 mAh instead of the stock 900 mAh. Nice improvement. Been checking RS online, nothing yet.

Biggest I have seen, but that does not mean there is not one out there somewhere ....
its hard 2 find qaulity batteries with the same size, but better specs...
I went to the ebay link for the 1600mah battery (that the WATCHER posted)... when I looked at the pic posted for the auction it shows a 1450mah battery.. can you confirm that you received a 1600mah battery (PICS PLEASE?!!?)

The one I got is a 1600mah, looks just like that one, except it says 1600mah
i also purchased the same andida battery from hong kong via ebay. increase in battery life was noticeable but not by that much. however, the battery is quite a steal in terms of pricing considering you need a backup or second battery.
I have a different perspective on these extended batteries: I actually prefer the one that adds to the overall device thickness! I have always been concerned about these very thin devices - you can easily crack the display. An extended battery gives the HD2 more robustness.

Not really, its more heavier now. Meaning, it can have more potential to break lol.
Just purchased the 1600 from ebay, free shipping. Will let you all know the result.
Let me know if you find one.
Just ordered the 1600 one to, will let you know how it works out.

Eager to read your results with this one, just might be the battery I go with.
Only took 7 days to receive. Fits fine, works fine. After 2-3 charging cycles (as was stated on the eBay page), I'm clearly getting more charge time from this battery than the stock battery.
Plus, you get a nice little tin case
10 bucks, free shipping, you can't go wrong.
Does anyone have experience with some of the cheap batteries found on ebay.
I use to buy cheap Hong Kong batteries for my Blackberrys from ebay (for as little as a $5). Of course I'm not expecting stellar performance at this price but I found I'd get 75% as much as the original from some and as little as 30 mins on standby from others!
Has anyone had any success with this?
I'll be able to tell you in a few weeks. I just ordered a couple and they are due in next weeks.
Awesome. Thanks!
I bought one of the cheap aftermarket batteries from eBay. It seems to work OK, if slightly shorter than the original Dell battery (this is just subjective - I have not done a direct comparison). Then again, I have 3 original Dell batteries and (subjectively) they also seem to have variances in how long they last.
I have also bought similar batteries for my previous phones (a Toshiba TG01 and a load of HTC devices) with no problems.
For the cost of the Hong Kong batteries, they are very cheap insurance against ending up somewhere with a flat Dell and no way to charge it.
Could you perhaps link me to the seller you bought from?
i usually dont put cheap batts in my phones...buy some quality ones! theyll last longer and wont drain as quick...

Just do a search on eBay - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=...w=(Dell,slacker)+(Streak,"Mini+5",G2)+battery - and choose the cheapest.
The one I bought was item 360304238945 from seller grade_a_battery but I suspect that they all come from the same factory, so I would just choose the cheapest. The battery I received was physically identical to the original Dell one (other than the sticker on it).

Given that the cheaper batteries on eBay cost under £8 each, whereas the official Dell battery costs over £38 - http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&sku=451-11431 - and the cheaper batteries are almost as good as (if not identical to) the Dell originals, I really can't agree with you.

Never hurt a device that I've had to use cheap batteries. Cheap chargers on the other hand can destroy your good batteries.
So what do you use to charge your batteries (cheap or otherwise)?
I order one of the universal lithium chargers off of ebay.

I was planning on just swapping them out of the device as needed. Not the best situation but I've ruined batteries with cheap chargers. Problem is the damage takes a while to be evidenced so it's hard to know if your charger is ruining your battery. If there is an official stand alone charger from Dell at some point in the future then I'll probably pick that up. It's unfortunate that they sell extra batteries but no extra chargers.
Is anyone aware of a good quality charger for these batteries?
So your plan is to use the streak as the charger.
I thought about that but it is in the charging phase that batteries are at their most dangerous (to damage the phone).
Yes that was my plan
I didn't know that would be a good way to damage the phone.
I'm guessing the damage would be to a processor in a similar way that processors are damaged in a computer. I know a bit about this. Specifically that small changes in voltage can quickly ruin a processor. I've seen as little as using 1.5V, where 1.4V was the specified maximum, permanently degrade a processor after only 30 minutes of use. Also heat issues could possibly arise (though in desktop computing this is a huge misconception as it is almost impossible to damage a CPU like this these days because of built in self preservation mechanisms).
But for those in warranty it would be impossible for Dell/whoever to tell that this is why, so there isn't too much risk if it did come to that.
I wish that an expert would weigh in here.
What I was thinking of was when batteries fail they leak, get too hot, or explode.
These things usually happen during the charging cycle of a batter.
Put it this way, I left my streak charging with a motorola charger (700ma), don't know if it makes any difference, left it overnight charging from 30%, next morning the streak had no charge and wouldn't charge the battery, now I have 2 batteries and a desktop charger made of 2 desktop chargers lol and a dell streak that won't charge, I already have tried a few cables even a dock and no go on the charging, I can sync the streak and transfer files but nothing on charging. I highly suggest you buy a desktop charger for those cheap batteries. its only $5 on the most.
Also there is a power management IC (TPS 65023)in charge of any power related thing, worst case if your battery over voltages it will burn that IC before it reaches the cpu.

I run my laptop and my Dell Streak on cheap batteries. My Toshiba NB100 gets 5 hours on a charge (1 hour more than original battery) and the cheap 7 pound Cameron Sino battery in my Streak is easily comparable to the genuine item
I bought two cheapie batteries for the Streak and neither will charge in the streak itself. (I get a temperature warning and info that the battery will not charge.)
HOWEVER...
I bought one of those cheapie external battery chargers (search "Dell Streak battery charger on ebay) and I am able to charge the battery in it. It lasts as long as the original battery and it gives me great peace of mind knowing I have a fully charged battery for my Streak in reserve.
I think i am going to buy this one...you get 2 of the 1600mah batteries and a charger for less than 25$....They look pretty good and are bigger than the stock 1530mah...I also found a 1650mah however this is a better deal....I also found a sweet bluetooth keyboard for less than 5$...I have a love/hate ebay though...Bought over a 100 things and always seem to get 1 in 2 things...lol...rest of the time I either get my money back or get ripped off...been waiting for 2 months for screen protectors...lol....

To get more power from a Lithium battery you need to make it bigger (see the Mugen batteries), batteries that boast a higher Amp rating at the same size are just Chinese salesmanship. Not saying don't buy them, just be aware that they most likely will not last longer than your original.

I have just bought this 2X Battery + Charger. The Charger has a foldaway 2 pin US AC plug but the seller also provides a UK slip on adapter. See here
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/B11u-2-Batter...438?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19c4447a16
I am really pleased with the purchase. The Charger is very good and the batteries are fine, just what you would expect and will do me in an emergency.
I can recommend the seller too. He communicates and is very helpful. When the UK adapter was received broken he has promised to send a replacement.

I think to charge streak the charger output needs to be 1000mA.
I have a mungen battery, very good investment. Last longer then original, wouldn't trust the cheap hk ones.
I've recently bought an Energizer portable charger from ebay, will let you guys know my experience once I got it
I would like to buy extended battery that is same size like an original so it wouldn't stick out...
I have read few threads about that and I know that there are few 1800mah batteries which are really just fake 1270 mah...
So...what is max capacity in original size?
Thanks
15000mah Mugen is only option for same size & real stated capacity.
reality is a different battery technology would be required to better that.
www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-htc-hd2-t8585-1500mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
As above, there is little in the way of a regular sized battery with considerably more capacity than the stock battery. If you're looking to keep the slim look then I'd consider doing as I did and investing in either a cheap 2nd battery (either used genuine or cheap Chinese) off eBay for a couple of bucks. coupled with a battery charger which charges both the second battery and the phone, im yet to find a situation where im without power.
Sent from my HTC HD2 (Android)
my solution to lack of capacity was to use a usb charger pack running from 4 aa cells (2100mah hybrio cells) & mod pack to activate 1Amp charger mode.
cost less than $20 & is easier than swapping/booting & externally charging hd2 batteries.
I'm actually selling my barely used 1600mAh battery on eBay (link here). I used it for about 10 days before the touchscreen on my HD2 went bad. No added bulk and the battery life is about 30% better than the original battery. I bought it from a seller in Hongkong after reading a HD2 user's suggestion here. It's about 10USD if buying from China, delivery will be from 14-30 days.

And what capacity does T-Battery application show this battery at ? for sure not 1600Mah ...
Oops ... double post ...
There are two type of good batteries momax or mugen. (Even the fact that both companies have an own website says already a lot).
Muggen has higher capcity while momax uses better cells according to 6 pages of user experiences. Both will preform about the same like 20% capicity extra. I would go for the momax since it works better in android (capcity is close to orginal one) and it is a bit cheaper 21-27 usd according where you buy it.
Momax X batteries are produced in same factory as Andida.
The momax HD2 replacement battery gave me no extra usage time, if anything less.
It may give 20% extra capacity if compared to a 2 year old fatigued OEM cell but new next to new OEM wins hands down.
If you say so...
My experience is different anyway and from a lot of others to and I can't use any battery wich has higher capicity then the stock one because it wont work well in android.
Also andida battery come from:
http://www.laishenglong.com/en/
And I am almost sure that they are not made in the same factory andida battery's look more like fake clones.
But maybe you can show me some evidence.
That was what I was told by a dealer in Hong Kong when I purchased a Momax.
The reality is a battery with less Mah than stock is not going to be 20% better but they are ok & give reasonable performance & quality for the purchase price.
Andidas registered address is Hong Kong as is Momax but neither have factories in Hong Kong.
The Andida & Momax X batteries & packaging are identical from what I looked at in Hong Kong. The Momax HD2 battery is not the X series & is different in battery wrapping, labelling & packaging.
Is buying the battery on ebay smart?
Where should I buy it to know for sure I get the battery/capacity I want...
What capacity do you want & do you still want standard size ?
The only battery that I have seen that is really higher capacity & sized same as original was a Mugen, all others read standard Mah rating when tested with tbattery.exe.
The chances of getting a higher Mah standard size battery off eBay is probably zero. A work colleage purchased an Andida 1700Mah from eBay seller snow9white for a TD2 & real capacity is 1100Mah, but ok as at just under $10 inc shipping he was happy as performs as good as OEM & he already was aware of Andidas overstated capacity.
I've read something about better cells and no need for higher capacity...so I don't care about capacity really...all I need is more time between charging it...
But I don't want to buy something on ebay, if I am not sure that it will be better as the one I have now...
The only thing I want is battery in original size that doesn't sticks out or need extra battery cover...
More time = capacity. quality of cell will have some link to overall run time but the main issue is capacity.

Yeah but I am not talking about the stock momax battery I believe you if you say it preforms the same as stock..
I am talking about the 1250 mah x-level variant.
Before you have only the stock variant since like 2 months there is the x-level variant for like 21-27 dollar.
http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1303&T=1
Yeh I bought mine about 3 months ago & is not x-level model cell, no HD2 x-level at that time for HD2, will have a look for the x-level HD2 in Hong Kong & if sensible HK$ buy one for a test.
Ok which one is better? The Momax X-Level or Mugen Power?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...585-1500mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
http://shop.momax.net/?sp=&p=6&cat2=635&cat1=113&cat0=46&id=3396&cat1=113&cat0=46&new=&more=&lang=en
Is the Mugen worth almost double the price?
Mugen should be the best in terms by capacity & quality but with the price diference between the two it makes the x-level a major player.
I will be going for an x-level as price direct here in hong kong is just too good, don't really need one but want to test it and see if they are as good as current hype.
Ok guys, I just got the X-level battery today, I'm charging it right now and post later on how well it is.

Good find, but I am quite sure it wouldnt give actual 2300mAh. But still, for that price I wonder how much improvement it actually has over stock. I remember the 1600 mAh at best gave about 1400 mAh or there abouts. I would not mind if this gives even slightly more than 50% of the stated capacity. Please let us know if anyone has tested this.
Hell, I'm getting paid in 2 days, and sending my HD2 to repair then, when I get it back, I will buy this battery and review it for you guys.
Though I doubt it's more than 1400mAh, but what the hell.. 13€.
I want to try this out just got a question first, hopefully you guys will know

My battery lasts me about 8-12 hours of moderate use, and 4-6 of heavy use/no service use

What that probably means is this battery has a very poor charge control circuit/temp sensor.
For cheap good batteries try the well tested brands: Andida & Momax .
Andida & Momax represent good quality for the money. I have used Andida & they have been as good as original. Just purchased a Momax for HD2 while in Hong Kong as read good remarks in posts here at XDA ... Buying cheap unknown junk from ebay with obvious overstated product details is just stupid, do not support these idiots by buying there useless low quality junk that they call products.
The feedback from crimebay mugs:
Evaluations neutres Does not last long , even after several chargings
Evaluations neutres standard battery time nothing special .
Evaluations neutres Battery capacity/life poor. Second battery the same. mAh less than stated!
Evaluations neutres never arrives the battery
Evaluations neutres the battery lasts less than 1000 mah
Evaluations neutres one battery didn't work
Evaluations négatives It was damaged to repair. broken batteries destroyed.
Evaluations négatives The battery offers far less then the offered capacity!!!
Evaluations négatives the battery is not even 1150mah
eBay should be prosecuted for its roll in enabling a trading platform for fake & fraudulent spec products ...

i will not believe to comments on ebay. i ordered mine few days ago and i will leave a feedback here.
hi there, well i m looking for a better battery, mine s getting low quickly.
i just bought this one on ebay after reading this post. I ll give you my opinion at reception
hope it will be fine...
Heres a Momax on eBay with world shipping included:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Momax-X-L...835895?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20bbed2af7
I purchased a momax in HK to test, in my opinion the X-level performs same as my HD2 Andida ... Bonus with Momax is they do not Bull**** on capacity & you can feel confident cell quality & charge protection circuitry is adequate too.
Andida was the best cheap budget battery & well tested within XDA community.
I purchased Andida direct in HK for around $7 US & they are working fine.
A colleage purchased an Andida for his old Topaz via ebay seller snow9white. Total price with shipping was $9.45 US & he has been very happy with the battery over the last 6 months of use ...
Will try to check it out next week!
I receive mine
So,
First, surprise to find my batterie today...
Another surprise, the weight is like the original, maybe more heavy...
(i'll try to find a digital balance)
Third,surprise she work, and more than a quarter...
So i'll put her in my phone a 4PM and it's work fine for now...
I'll keep you inform !
Sorry formy bad English
New batteries tend to have better standby time, even the one has less capacity.
So try draining your battery by watching YouTube or some intensive gaming, it should tell the difference.

Better yet, drain it by let running Netflix for a whole movie and that should kill it fast enough.
So is there such a thing as a larger mah cell at the standard thickness at any price or are they all the same?
FYI, I bought this battery (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extended-30...Accessories&hash=item3a65fb4a24#ht_1885wt_952) which claims to be a 3000mAh.
I have used it for a while (2 weeks), and have to say that I am quite pleased with it. With 3g, wifi and auto-brightness on, I managed to get 32 hours of usage. This includes talking on the phone for 2 hours+, browsing on net 2 hours and 30 minutes of listening to music. I think it is more like 2000mAh. Certainly much longer than the original.
I am using Dorimanx's ROM, OC and UV, screebl and juice defender beta. Hope this helps others to make an informed purchase. Got his for less than USD10 including shipping. My best deal yet.

Almost all are the same at standard size.
Li-ion technology can not physically pack much more capacity into a cell of the HD2 size.
Mugen produced a standard sized cell at around 1500Mah & that was the best they could manage using quality cells & construction.
Claims of 1600, 1700 or even 2000+Mah of the magical Gold Business batteries are simply bull**** & fraudulent in an attempt to rob you of some cash for rubbish goods.
Best options for budget is Andida & Momax x-level, x-level may give about 5% more, Andida is about same as new original. Mugen may be an option if you don't mind paying high prices, around $39 US if still available.
Feipusi is another brand seen around Asia Pacific area, they rate at 1600Mah for standard size HD2 replacement but reality is standard Mah but quality is ok for less than $10 battery.
If you need double capacity you will need a cell almost double in size too, that's the reality so don't be fooled by these sellers marketing tactics.
There's one available from Lenmar having 1230mAh capacity for HD2 available for about $20...
I think it should be good as Lenmar is a good company

FYI, I bought this battery (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extended-30...Accessories&hash=item3a65fb4a24#ht_1885wt_952) which claims to be a 3000mAh.
I have used it for a while (2 weeks), and have to say that I am quite pleased with it. With 3g, wifi and auto-brightness on, I managed to get 32 hours of usage. This includes talking on the phone for 2 hours+, browsing on net 2 hours and 30 minutes of listening to music. I think it is more like 2000mAh. Certainly much longer than the original.
I am using Dorimanx's ROM, OC and UV, screebl and juice defender beta. Hope this helps others to make an informed purchase. Got his for less than USD10 including shipping. My best deal yet.

Open that battery and you will find in there a 1,200mah battery and some foam to fill the empty space inside the big housing. I seen this before with cell phone batteries and even Sony PSP batteries sold on Ebay.
It's a shame those Chinese guys manufacture fake and less than advertised charging capacity.
BTW- I have that battery and the charge is not that great, gave it to my 13yrs son so he can play with this HD2.
hey guyz
i bought this battery from ebay with 2600 mah
is it fake???
and if it isn't how could i calibrate it (am using android from nand)
sorry for my bad english
Well chances of it being 2600mAh are unlikely, if lucky it maybe 1700mAh.
Also kernal of your ROM need to be capable of handling over capacity batteries, for that refer to your ROM thread.

ahaaa. ic
thanx buddy for ur quick responding
i should buy 2300 original......
I have the extended battery just like this. It claims to be 2300mah and after a few cycles my battery widget says its estimated to be 2300mah (with 30% margin of error).
All extended sized batteries I've tested have shown to be over 2000+ mah and have given me more than double standby time.
If the battery is standard sized and claims over 1600mah then suspect BS.
Most of the cheaper oversized batteries tested by members on XDA came out at 1700mAh.
Peeling the sticker will lead to the truth.
Is a thread on this with a selection of oversized batteries & the true capacities.
Well I have owned 5 extended batterys in my time.
2 for HD2
2 for WildfireS
1 for Dash
All of them costed below £10.
All of them had seen my phone pass 30hrs.
My typical standby with normal batteries is around 11hrs.

Going from OP supplied picture of of black/silver label style found on eBay & amazon most are tested well below claimed mAh
I have tested many myself & delt with resources in China that make them.
From 11hrs to past 30hrs is 3X over standard, that would equate to 3000mAh plus, no chance of 3000mAh cell & cover for £10.
You get what you pay for & when it's Chinese products & eBay/Amazon getting what you pay for is a gamble with poor odds.
so how could i calibrate it??????????

You have to account for night time which is about 8 hours of no activity meaning little drain.
Thats fake around 1700Mah i guess
