How soon can we expect a standard size extended battery? - HD2 Accessories

let's face it, the HD2 extended battery is a little bit quasimodo-esqued and the BB is a little bit cumbersome when you're traveling light. How hard would it be to extract another 200mAh or so for a total of 1500mAh while maintaining the same standard size? Anyone here with knowledge as to what's in store in the horizon for an item like this?

HD2 is a bit to new for these to exist, best company will be Mugen batteries
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
I had a standard size 1800mah for my pro 2 which worked very well, cost was around £20, so not the cheapest but was good quality

Lude,
Have you been to Mugen (sic?) to check if they are working on this/give them the idea, perhaps?

I went to the mugen link that chris posted but see nothing for the HD2 yet. Hopefully they'll jump on this soon.

Are you insinuating that it's difficult to get another 15pts for an A? If i were the student I would say to the teacher, "do your job at teaching better and I'll get that A."
It's not a matter of unachievable because HTC did that with the original diamond. The stock diamond battery is only 900mAh and soon after its release, HTC came out with the extended one at 1100mAh(?) or so...in standard size.

have you check their batteries?
New rear cover, giant size battery =/= slim phone
== brick
Would you like to have a brick instead of phone?

I'm assuming that you misread my original post

I am also waiting for one. Had one from MOMAX when I was using the HD. The extra 10% definitely makes a difference. A;so waiting for a battery charger with USB port (so as to be able to charge the phone as well).

yea I hope mugen or momax will jump on this opportunity. Im sure most of us will need all the extra power we can take without carrying extra equipment or sacrificing the slim look of the phone.

One thing I have noticed is the stock battery is a Lithium Ion 1230mAh battery and the aftermarket ones that I have been seeing are Lithium Polymer 1100mAh battery's. I have done quite a bit of research on battery chemistries and it seems odd that the aftermarket would be releasing a different battery to the manufacturer.
Edit: With regard to suppliers another good one is www.batterymill.co.uk

The one at MOMAX is Li-Ion but only 1100mAh. I can't for the life of me understand why they would release a battery that is lower in capacity than the original.

I hope that we see such a battery in the market soon
HTC HD2 with 1500 mah (standard size) will be perfect combination

Just bought a 1300 mAh on Ebay. Not much higher capacity than the original battery, but still higher...

how many more hours will the 1300 battery last?

Another 1300 battery...but a bit cheaper. http://www.netimes.com/shop/replacement-battery-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2449.html?cPath=80_731

I bought a "1700mah" one for my Touch HD and it worked exactly the same as the standard one so I'm a bit skeptical about performance claims of same size upgrade batteries even though the HD2 could really do with a boost!

Yea, those are a dime a dozen. Always make sure that it's from a trusted manufacturer and not some ebay seller...it also doesnt hurt to do a battery test to make sure the mAh is as advertised.

1500mah batteries, anyone tested them already?

I found some 1500mah batteries on ebay. They are dirt cheap and even have free shipping. Sounds to good to be true so anyone tested one of these batteries already?
since i cant post links look on ebay for: Legend 1500mah
The legend only came out a month or so ago, and you really believe that there are already replacement batteries with a higher capacity on the market?
If you're lucky they'll only be of inferior capacity. If you're not so lucky you might end up with a destroyed phone, or worse like severe body burns from an exploding piece of crap battery made by a Chinese company that couldn't give a damn.
Protect your phone by not buying one. Protect other consumers by not buying one, thus reducing the amount of counterfeit product on the market. Protect yourself from bodily harm by not buying one...

Although I praise your concerns about my personal safety that wasn't the question. I know they are dirt cheap and I know what the risks of faulty batteries are. But you can't judge everything on gut feeling so that's why I'm asking if anyone had experience with them. If they are selling them people must be buying them.
Sadly people buying a product doesn't actually say much about it's build quality but I'll not bother you further with that
If someone has a good report on those batteries I'd also be interested in reading it. But are people allowed to browse the net from the Intensive Care unit? (only kidding)
Sent from my HTC Legend using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
wow, sounds very ominous, beware the evil battery
I would be interested to know if these are a scam or not.
Does anyone offer a larger capacity battery for the Legend yet? (Or is it likely they will?)
for alot of phones there are large capacity batteries how ever for the legend its harder i guess. Mostly the higher capacity batteries are slightly bigger but the legend design doesnt allow any room for that. So it has to be a battery with exactly the same dimensions.

But for €6, i dunno will it even work!

Why not buy one yourself - test it - then let us know what they are like?

Haha!
Nice!
my nkia e71 battery is virtually the same size, so there is no reason why there can't be a good quality 1500 at some point
nokia e71's screen is about half the size, not a touchscreen, inferior technology to the legend's, far fewer apps so much less usage etc etc etc
I'm not comparing the phone, only the battery.
but the battery is only as good as the power requirements determined by the phone's components and applications. I'm sure if you stuck the legend's battery into an old brick it would also last ages, but that's largely because it's not being drained by anything

He is saying the battery has the about the same physical dimensions and packs 1500mAh, so it is possible to make a good quality battery with these specs.
Got it, but I meant the current battery is probably just as good quality wise, but more juice is being sucked and at a faster rate.
Here's another way of putting it, do you know of any amoled touchscreen smartphone that runs many apps, WiFi, gps etc etc and lasts several days of regular use?

That's completely irrelevant. The Legend packs a 1300mAh battery, the Nokia E71 apparently has a 1500mAh battery with the same dimensions.
All he's saying is that it's possible to make a trustworthy 1500mAh battery that would fit the HTC Legend. No one's comparing battery life, we're comparing battery capacity. I don't see how the draining rate of the battery is relevant. A 1500 mAh battery has 15% more capacity than a 1300mAh battery and thus has 15% longer battery life. What's not to understand about this?
Whatever...

unbelievable...

i cannot believe that there isn't even 1 single 1500 capacity Battery... or even bigger that would be able to retain the original back cover.... so am i just going to have to wait until june until the HTC EVO comes out? cause isn't that being shipped with a larger battery capacity then our own?? if so, i imagine that we'd be able to use it as well right?? that phone is practically a replica of ours.. or am i mistaken??
and even if i am.. the fact that they can make a bigger battery for the EVO and not HD2 is mind blowing...

I doubt the evo battery will work in the hd2. There is this misconception going around that the evo is basicly a hd2 with android... Its not. It's a completely different phone. Yeah, it has a similar processor, same screen size, etc. But there are a lot of phones that use similar hardware. It even looks similar. But there is a lot of different hardware. And it's a completely different model. People just have it in there head, for some reason, that the EVO and the HD2 are the same phone hardware-wise. Yes, there are similarities, but they are not interchangeable.... not with hardware OR software.

If it's got a a bigger capacity battery, the actual physical size will probably be bigger, too. If the evo is the same size as the HD2, they must have found some other way to make more space for a bigger battery. I bet mugen could maybe make a 1500mah battery that fit the hd2 if they tried... they've always been good at fitting bigger batteries in the same size of space. We just have to convince them it would be worth it.
lol sucks...i don't understand how someone would make a 1300 capacity battery and not a 1500 or 1600 one... but whatever... i'm done ranting...
but yea.. if the evo has a slim battery like ours with a 1500 capacity.. i'm hoping that some businesses will jump on the opportunity to make some cash..
i use this 1600mah andida Battery from Ebay.
check the ebay auction number: 390184360646
www.slashgear.com/htc-evo-4g-hands-on-2378816/ Scroll down for a picture with the battery cover removed.
IMO it looks quite a bit longer than our beloved HD2's. Hence the ability to cram more juice in.
So how is this battery performing?

i used my hd2 all day including push exchange and over an hour of video and i could not make it run dead until midnight from leaving charge at 9am. is there really such a need for extended battery? i mean the iphone performs more dismally than this in bettery life and i reckon it's pretty dam good for stock battery and a smartphone with such high specs.

Well if it was thin it wouldnt be an "extended" battery would it? The whole point is that its extended to fit more power into it.
If it was easy to get more power into a battery then HTC would already supply them with the HD2 and extended ones wouldn't be needed/wanted.
apperantly you dunno anything about material science.
CAN'T a new battery with a better performance with SAME SIZE come out? Oh of course no! cuz it doesn't have bigger size.
Don't think there are any worth considering... there are 1600mah batteries on ebay but the overall consensus is that they're just about the same as ome battery ... it would truly make HD2 a much better phone if they can just extend the stock battery by a bit...

lol, your scientific/logical huge brain obviously missed the point.
You asked for an "extended" battery, that would infer you wanted one that was "extended" beyond the normal limits. Currently the only way to get one that is beyond the limits of the ones that are supplied with devices are to buy ones that are "extended" meaning they are larger in dimension and hold more power.
Currently you CANT get a battery for our device that has the capacity of a extended one unless its "extended". The ones you see on ebay and other sites saying otherwise are FAKE.

You should dial back the Smarmy attitude amigo. Athiest is spot on by the way. The only way (currently) to have an extended battery for the HD2 is to make the battery larger.

I suspect that if someone made a genuine Lithium Polymer battery instead of Li-Ion it would indeed hold more charge. But I have not seen any such. The Andida is listed as LiPoly, but it can't be - it is basically the same mA as the stock battery.
Mugen has a 1300mah battery, which is a little more than the 1230 or 1250mah the stock battery comes with. I think I get a little more time with my mugen battery than with the stock, but never ran any definitive tests. But mugen is probably the best you will get with a battery the same size as the stock one.

Why do you guys disinform people? As a matter of fact there are "extendend" batteries that have the same size as the OEM batt. Where it is written that a battery extended in power must also be extended in size? Of course, there is a relation between size and power, but this relation might vary depending on the materials and the technology used.
Here you have a 2430 mAh battery (the "famous" business gold battery, which no one here bothered to test), and the seller says it has the same dimensions as the original one. If this battery has indeed 2430 mAh remains for us to find out. I'm thinking to buy one, just to test.

Nowhere in the add does it state that it is the same size as the OEM battery. I'm wondering if it really is; from the picture angles it is difficult to tell and might be deeper. But it is probably the same.
However, the packaging looks amateurish and suspect. This almost looks like a home-made wrapper.
Let us know if you order one!
Gold Battery
OK, I asked the seller about the size and if it will work with the stock cover, here is the answer:
"Hi,
I think it will work with it and the battery has a same size as standard battery."
On looking at the pictures, the batteries may be from Japan, but that is Chinese writing on the battery... or at least it is identical to my Andida "1600" writing.
Yeah...I would'nt put that battery into my HD2...seriously, that looks sketchy as hell. IF it turns out to be 2300mAH, which I highly doubt...it looks REALLY amateur-ish. It's all about memory management people, close crap thats running in RAM and your stock battery will last literally ALL day.

Well I'm not, call me stupid, call me whatever you want but I do believe what I said for a main reason: one of my hobbies are rc flying models, both electric and with combustion engines. In this hobby you need powerfull batteries for controllers or engines (NiCD, NiMh, LiPo). I have a range of these batteries of different capacities and some of them have the same size but different power (eg: a 750mAh has the same size as a 2200 one). Of course, the ones that are more powerful are not cheap, but it's money well spent.
I'm not saying that the ugly looking "gold"battery which seems to be wrapped by a 5 years old kid has 2430mAh, but it worths tested. I just want to put this battery on the ohmmetter to read it's values. Regarding the safety for my device, I used chinese batteries on other phones too (spv m3100, kaiser) and none exploded, got bigger or overheat; they do loose their capacity much faster but if you are on low budget a 10 bucks battery saves your as* for a couple of months.

No one is calling you stupid, but you do seem ill-informed.
Cell phones are not the same as hobbyist 3rd party suppliers. Batteries for rc devices are much more third party friendly than cell phones. What we're likely buying from these Chinese manufacturers are probably cast-off batteries that didn't make it through quality control.
Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't.
I asked if you were joking because the battery you linked was blatantly sketchy. It isn't even worth checking unless you just like to throw money away.

I wish people would just give up trying to find a higher capacity battery which is of the same size. If it was that easy wouldn't you think HTC and ALL major phone manufacturers with their vast resources wouln't want the same thing? A few mm less in dimensions or a higher capacity battery can mean far better sales (millions more).
From experience with tons of mobile phones and 3rd party batteries they have always come out worse 99.99% time. Most of them are cheaply made where they blatantly lie about there actual capacity, don't meet safety standards, can explode, can bulge, overheats etc.
How many more threads about these cheapo batteries quoted with much higher capacity that is pulled out of thin air.
Not to rant but if you want more juice I recommend you get the official HTC extended 2300mah or Mugem battery. I'm afraid you can't have a thin phone and more juice. end of

Ebay sellers that sell the same battery

(Q) Ultra-High Capacity Samsung AB653850CE Gold Battery - 2430mAh

Have anyone tried this????
The ultra high capacity battery for Nexus S, boast 2430MAH but has the SAME SIZE with the original battery!!!
It's not the real capacity.
Put it this way: the OEM batteries are made with almost latest Li-Ion technologies. Unless there is a breakthrough discovery which will double the amount of energy stored per volume unit (in which case you will see this all over the news) any battery that will claim more than 10-15% energy boost in the same volume is a fake.
Take as an example the Momax batteries.
They've achieved to put 1700mAh in a battery the same size as the original 1500mAh used for Galaxy S (I had one of those on my ex GalaxyS) and indeed .. it was "a little" stronger than the original. Anyway, in order to get 2700mAh, the Momax battery got double the original volume (I also had this huge battery and indeed, had the claimed capacity).
Now ... just look over the internet after the manufacturer of these wonder batteries you're asking in your post and see if they really have the reputaion for "super-batteries" ...
Also Seidio make ultra batteries but are too big.

It's not the real capacity.
Put it this way: the OEM batteries are made with almost latest Li-Ion technologies. Unless there is a breakthrough discovery which will double the amount of energy stored per volume unit (in which case you will see this all over the news) any battery that will claim more than 10-15% energy boost in the same volume is a fake.
Take as an example the Momax batteries.
They've achieved to put 1700mAh in a battery the same size as the original 1500mAh used for Galaxy S (I had one of those on my ex GalaxyS) and indeed .. it was "a little" stronger than the original. Anyway, in order to get 2700mAh, the Momax battery got double the original volume (I also had this huge battery and indeed, had the claimed capacity).
Now ... just look over the internet after the manufacturer of these wonder batteries you're asking in your post and see if they really have the reputaion for "super-batteries" ...

I was about to buy this extra battery with more power. Thanks bro ... will drop i decision.
Is there any battery with a bit more capacity then the original one?

Let us know what you'll get out of it ... is definitely looking good (especially for the price .. which is not a bargain I could say).

is there an other Viper780? and sure i remember 50 USD is a bit to much for me, i hoped for an 15-30EUR Product (incl shipment and taxes)
I found a review on Amazon for this battery. I always take these with a grain of salt as there are so many variables to conclude "Your Results may vary".
I found the OP's 2430 Double capacity battery on Ebay. I went through the reviews and a few savy users stated something similar to this.
Let's call it fraud. I was not expectin a 2.43mAh but gettin a 1367mAh is bad!

Then this review on the Seidio.

What a waste of time and money. I followed the instructions exactly. Charged it for 5 full cycles and allowed it charge after it was full. This is labeled as an 'extended battery' yet there is no extended life to speak of. If anything it at or worse than the original battery it came with. I also was experiencing more of my programs force closing than usually. If this battery was only $19.99 than maybe I wouldn't care as much, but at $50 you have to get what you pay for. Avoid and get an extra OEM Genuine Samsung Battery or an extra wall charger for work.

So I tend to agree with ro_explorer that unless there was an advance in technology this may be too good to be true. But let's see. Best of luck.

What I was saying about seeing stuff over the news ?
Researchers increase charging capacity, speed of lithium ion batteries by a factor of ten
So ... maybe in about 3-4 years, along with multi-core phones, we will see also super-duper batteries .
How a 15Ah would sound on your nexus S device ? LOL ...

Hm, maybe, but my battery is now 2 1/2 years old, so it has a fading by round about 15% (in best case, read that somewhere), i think with this new one I can feel the (big) difference
Sincerely
i dont think these are original or genuine or safe ...just sharing u the link ..try if u want to
http://www.tmart.com/2450mAh-Battery-for-HTC-Incredible-S-G11-Desire-S-G12-A7272-Desire-Z_p157059.html
OMG that capacity is awesome and the price?! Sounds way to good to be true, what could happen in worst case, I mean when u say: original or genuine or safe ?
even im not sure wt if it screws up our phone
My stock battery was getting ridiculous, if I get up at 7am and unplug the phone off the charger, the battery will be pretty much dead by 2pm (<20%).
So last week I picked up HLI-S710EXL from Mugen Power. (You need to go search it on their webiste, I can't post link due to newbie status)
I was hesitant at first because the phone could become bulky due to the extra thickness, but now I'm actually holding the phone better as the extra thickness sits right in the centre of my palm, creating a more natural grip.
Battery life is extended significantly, by the time I go to bed around midnight, usually there is still 35% left in the tank.
I know the price is a bit steep, but I think it's well worth the money, especially if you are not about to purchase a new phone in the near future. I'd totally recommend it.
i found battery 2450 in stock size on aliexpress.
hesitant to buy a new batterly
I'm also looking for a new battery.... but hesitant because I also seeking for the next phone...

If you want to buy some cheap but high quality HTC batteries online, I think you need to try the Everbuying.com.
Truth about batteries is, the manufacturer has already installed the highest capacity battery possible for the physical dimensions of the battery. I've purchased them gold batteries and many other( higher capacity rated for the same physical size) batteries and they seem to be a tad better than original battery for a few weeks but then quickly diminish in capacity to a point way below your stock battery. If you want more mAH from a battery to fit into inc s you must look into extended batteries where the physical size of the battery has been increased. A word of warning too with all these cheap batteries is that most if not all of them have no inbuilt thermal protection circuitry and therefore the posibility exists of thermal runaway caused by batteries being charged when they are too hot to be charged- eg hot summers day in a car...
