HD2 Standard Size 1500Mah battery - HD2 Accessories

So, i was wondering.
Since the battery life of the HD2 is sort of disappointing i wanted to look for an extended battery.
Now, i came across an ebay item and i'd like your opinion;
Here is the subject in question: E-Bay HD2 1500mAh Battery
Do you guys think it is
a) Truly 1500Mah
b) Truly standard size
still in doubt as of to purchase that battery, thats why i want to ask the opinion of the community.
Cheers

This battery looks interesting but not sure whether the size is the same as stock battery so that the metal cover can close nicely?

i just bought it! for seven dollars (~£4.50 GBP) i think its worth a shot! will report back when/if i get it!

me too. I thought I'll buy a guy in Hong Kong a cup of coffee and lets see what for good things will come from it.
To the OP: thanks for the tip!
BTW Mugen also makes extended batteries - though not for the HD2 yet - that have a greater capacity and a standard fit, so ... it is possible (if not, a spare battery for 5 euro is always usefull)

I cant belive that this chinese crap can have more then 1000 guys

Please do!

Noone seem to notice the mfg date on that battery is 3months before the HD2 was even available worldwide?
Then again, it's only $7 bucks...

I dont believe this battery his really 1500mah... I have bought some other batteries on ebay to digital cameras who 'supposely' had bigger capicity, but in reality their time was much shorter than the one that came to the camera. I believe this should be the case...

Please feedback if the 1500mAh battery is long lasting?

yeah i did notice that the battery was made before the HD2 came out! ha ha!
and that its made by a well know company! lol!
i just noticed that the battery terminal polarity indicators are in the wrong position! lol!
we find out when it arrives!

Use the Battery tool for it. Search for HTC Debug Tool, it's in it.

i ordered this

what do you think?

well..only thing i can think of is...
The battery sais "Touch HD 2" out unit is called the "HD2" without the touch....but...as allways...we'll wait n see!

ehehhe, i'll let you know

Don't believe it
I checked c Manufacture Factory for this battery, It made in china , I found wrong record for it in chinese wesite. So don't believe it.

Please report on how it works and how it fits.
On all previous HTC phones I could stick a microSD and simcard side by side on top of battery and cover would still fit perfectly. I can not do that with Leo so am interested to see how it fits.

It looks that the Phieips battery isn't gonna work on the HD2 I recieved this email today:
Hello,
I had make mistake of the htc HD2 battery, the factory marked this battery
for htc HD2, I find this is wrong size battery for HD2 today, I will ship another one HD2 battery to you again, if you received the wrong battery, don't need return to me and waiting for another one HD2 battery arrive.

Oh well, **** happens
EDIT: looks like **** happened only on 3 and 4 january. I just recieved another mail from the guy from Hongkong, which I bought a cup of coffee:
Hello,
Sorry again, just find battery has problem sold on 3-4 Jan, other battery
are correct model, if you receive battery is wrong size, take a picture of the battery and send
to me, I will ship another one to you again, sorry again.

He does take care of his business, that must be said.

I have always been of the opinion that cheap batteries from anywhere risk giving you a lot of pain, either physical pain from the device melting/blowing up/dieing in your hand or emotional pain from the device melting/blowing up/dieing in your hand (but you not being hurt)
Poorly manufactured batteries have a tendency of doing the above and is it really worth the risk for an extra 250mAh?

It's real but the battery cover sucks and is prone to breakage.
The battery reading on the Xperia is also innacurate too so it's impossible to tell when your X1 is out of batteries because it lacks the battery drivers for the battery.
Here is my review:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514461
This kind of battery has been talked before on the forum.
In my opinion what sounds too good to be true IS too good to be true.
And as a fellow xda user said...I wouldn't trust a company making products for someone else, who doesn't even know how to SPELL that company's name (see photo : Sony Erisson)
Plus...you may risk f..ing up your phone if the battery overheats or smth else...
BUT, that's just my take on things
.edit.
WOW...while I was writing my post.... there were 3 others that posted meanwhile ) LOL
Anyway big thumbs up for poetryrocksalot with that review.
Btw...my X1 lasts about 6 hrs in mp3 playback (as opposed to 8hrs in that review). PLUS my P1 also lasts 8hrs in playback (with 1120mAh)
oh wait..... how ugly... the battery has a larger physical size and so a replacement rear case is provided to accommodate.
how very very ugly..... lol
@poetryrocksalot: what?!!?!?! I searched the forum for "3600" before starting this thread. This forum's search sucks....

You didn't search the accessories forum.
I suggest you talking to me now and asking questions before you order.
nah i'm not gonna order. instead i asked them if they are planning on releasing an enhanced life battery for the toshiba tg01 hahaha. but if they can't make better cell/electrolyte density, and have to increase the physical size instead, then forget it!
@poetryrocksalot : I know who Mungen is but as you wrote yourself, everything about the packaging says otherwise. I wasn't trying to mislead or give weird advice...but why would I buy something that's presented in that fashion?

I praise the battery for lasting way longer than I expected. And with a battery with this kind of long lasting charge, I can tell that the battery is not very likely to leak or explode. Otherwise you know the battery will have a problem if it does the opposite.
I used a Mugen Battery in my old Axim x50v years ago, worked real nice, Mugen seems to be a company that knows what they're doing.
Now that I think about it, I might actually order the 1800mAh-battery...

extended battery for £14.98 + post

Hi guys i have seen a few different posts about the extended battery with the lager cover and came across this site i dont know if it has already been posted already because i cant find it so if double post to this site sorry if not may be of interest
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/products.asp?partno=BATHTCHD2EX&model=
i have never ordered from this site but for a battery with nearly 2x the power storage for £14.98 + post seems a pretty good deal to me will be Pre Ordering and will post a mini review of the battery once I have had it going for a day or 2
Nice find. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in this. Any idea what the battery cover is made of? I'm spoilt by the metal cover already.
The official HTC extended battery is downright ugly. Though if you don't care about the aesthetic look of your phone, having 2200mAh does sound good.

the official htc battery 2200 mah at price of 49 usd, this one is only 14 pounds, it is maybe unusable, isnt it?

This is really nice. I would definitely go for this official battery once its out there. No matter what size my HD2 will have afterwards the cover is definetely an eye catcher on the top.
Or Spend an extra fiver and get a cradle with it, able to charge both phone and spare battery. Not Bad value for £19.99
I can't post links (new member) but it's on the same website. Here is a screencap of the web link.
I'm ordering this at the end of the month so will post about it soon.

But the whole point is that if you are out and about you don't have access to a cradle! And if you are using your HD2 in the car for satnav, it still drains slightly as most chargers do not supply enough power to run the program and recharge the machine. Hence the bigger battery is very useful. Also, I do not want to be regularly taking the back off to replace the battery so a spare is not for me. The phone is just not designed for it, unlike my cameras which make it easy to swap batteries.
I do think that the fold out stand on the HTC big battery is a piece of ridiculous style over function. How long before that breaks, and who is likely to use it - the phone is a handheld, after all. I have never thought - "oh i wish i could prop this up on something on my desk".

I think you could argue that it is function rather than style. AT worst, function AND style. Definitely not style over function.
I for one think this feature would be great when travelling on a train/plane and you want to watch a tv program or movie on the handset.

[Q] Are these bigger batteries for Real ?!

Seems like any other chinese market or Ali Baba's hidden batteries yet they say they're genuine and come with HTC warranty lol. I tried to e-mail HTC and clarify this but I need to have a phone in order to do that and my HD7 is currently on its way to me ..

The one on that links seems to really be a HTC battery but it might aswell be just a random pic from the web ..

got it from here:

and i just ordered it ->Germany so not sure when it will arrive.
The more I look at it the more legit it seems .. Although I'd still want a proper response from HTC on this one. It would be great if someone who already has a HD7 would ask their mail support and paste it over here.
if you google for the part number:35H00143-01M most german/european pages told me 1230mAh.
could be the stock one.
anyway looks suspenseful.
I'm going to order the 1500 mah one and see how it goes. This phone should have come stock with a 1500 mah anyway, so i hope it works.

as i say, htc partnumer 35H00143-01M is a 1230 mah one. both pages sell 35H00143-01M but declare it as a 1500 mah battery.
would be great to know whats real. is it a 1500 mah one or 1230 mah stock htc.
thank you
I also think is misslabelled. I'd love a 1500 mAh battery but it sounds to good to be true that we get so early a bigger battery

Unfortunately no. In order for them to squeeze the size on this they had to change up the battery size. I have my sources and so far none of them can actually put their hands on anything larger than the OEM battery so far. The ones advertised are not A Grade 1230mAH batteries.
If my sources can get a hold of them I am a direct importer/manufacturer of Cell Phone Accessories. I might try for a group buy. Air Freight from China is not cheap for small orders. I do not advertise here due to the fact we sell to national retailers and have never setup to handle small quantity items. We are toying with the idea at the moment.
If I find something I will post. I might start a group buy on something for the HD7's. Manufacturers are starting to get the molds completed on this phone from what i have been told.

Read the post above yours. You can be told all you want. It has been proven that batteries even from top suppliers are not as good as some of the OEM at a lesser mAH. Since I am in the business I have already asked by agents in China.
Search for it. I am sure Seidio or the likes will produce something soon. there is not a lot of room in the battery bay to make a larger battery than perhaps a 1500mAH before you have to get a custom back cover.
Not trying to rain on your parade just being realistic. The HD7 needs a bigger battery. It's battery life is not that great but its not that bad.

Received my larger battery.

http://www.thinkmobilesolutions.com/htc-hd7-1500mah-lithium-ion-battery-oem-35h00143-01m-13126.html
It should be heavier than the 1230 one. On my goold old Nokia battery I felt a significant difference between a 860 and a 1020 one while holding them both in hand.
Beware, if it's not a genuine HTC battery you may damage your phone
I received my larger battery today. Fits fine. Is there any where on the phone that says it using a larger battery?....I googled the part number and it says its a 1500 battery...but I just want to make sure.

Received this email just now.
The Manufacturer advertised the battery as a 1500mAH battery, we're
contacting them to see if this was an done in error. There are no other
batteries available for the HD7 and HTC has never made an extended battery
that does not require a separate (larger) battery door.

it is not same part..almost yes check the last 3 letters , on the hd7 original is 00m and on the knock off is o1m
Sounds like the exact same problem as with the HD2, lots of unofficial "1500 mAh" batteries that turned out to be fake. And isnt it a bit strange that these batteries are already available for such a new device? Best to wait for Seido or Mugen Power or other trusted companies to come out with an extended battery, that way you know you are getting what you are paying for.
I wonder if they will be able to make a larger one without the need of a new back-case.It's a signifficant difference from 1230 to 1500 but it might just work to keep the original case.
I am not a fan of those batteries because you have a high chance of damaging your phone or in extreme rare casses going boom. I know Mugen have managed to build a strong reputation for quality but while on an N900 for example a bigger case might work , on the HD7 it would look just wrong
My 2 cents
is the part number of your orginal battery 35H00123-00m? thanks in advance,
Mike

[Q] Fake battery?

Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.
German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?
i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.
Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

well it's going to matter, if the battery ends up exploding while your phone is in your pocket.

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

Yes my original has 3 patches.
Well.. That's really hard to tell fakes today..
What year is your battery?
Thank you

well it's going to matter, if the battery ends up exploding while your phone is in your pocket.
@-MaoR-
Concerning my previous post, i was merely elaborating on what you said:
i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..
Thanks again

you raise a good point, $8 or $800 pocket explosions are bad.
I had not even considered that happening :silly:

In fact considering that most of us do sleep with our phones next to our head, maybe she could consider herself..... rather lucky after all

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.
Thanks

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..
