Apart from the OEM HTC Extended Batteries. Were can US users find a working Extended Battery. I have an eBay one but the battery life is similar to the 1200mah HTC battery.
Does anyone know if Leicke sells batteries in US?
And also... For anyone answering this. What kind of battery life do they actually give when compared to the original?
is no one using any other extended battery apart from OEM, Mugen and Leicke?

I think only Mugen makes an actual extended battery that fits the TMOUS HD2, which is larger than the Euro version. That battery is around $80 and has a "big hump" battery cover included.
Bump. sorry unable to delete

Interesting because the seller is a US seller.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the 1600mah Andida Battery for HTC HD2; mine lasted less than one month and now I am trying to get a replacement from the OBOstore
ugh... really need a good extended battery that's gonna give me more than 24 hours and doesn't cost like 60$ like Mugen
I get a good 20 + hours, With Moderate to Heavy Usage. Wifi on and or 4G.
WITH the original Battery.
i currently get about 20hrs with moderate use with stock and 41hrs with the ebay Chinese extended that doesn't get a proper battery level read. It gets stuck on 15% for like 10 hours which i didn't realize before.

That may be due to your Tom/kernel not supporting extended battery not the manufacturing. I've got four cheap China extended batteries and typhoon Tom and never get stuck at 15 or any other %
Sent from tin can with string.
i bought the 2400 mah one from the ebay seller from brooklyn. I was sent one that is 2600 mah... Their ebay name is like accmonster or something like that...
I use hyperdroid gbx and it won't charge the battery. The indicator is all incorrect. When I checked it would say AC adapter plugged in but it wasnt charging. It eventually ran out of power now i'm stuck with a uncharged 2600mah battery lol..

I think there is some kind of Android thing where it won't charge unless the OS is running. I don't run Android myself on my HD2. But in any case you are going to need an external charger to get it going, or to flash back to WM to charge the battery.
hi, well, I have android OS running..
I have the OEM 1200 mah htc battery which charges and works perfectly fine...
Its the extended one that has problems and doesn't charge...
If anyone's interested, this website has extended batteries for $13.91.

Speaking as someone who uses their phone pretty darn constantly, I'm in need of a battery that lasts a bit longer than the stock.
currently, Seidio is selling an extended battery (I would link, but as a noob I'm not able to..) 1750 mAh - no new door required, but only a gain of 450 mAh..
Verizon has stated there's a 2150 mAh extended battery coming, but that will almost certainly require a new back plate.
Anyone spotted any other compatible batteries yet?
I ordered the Seidio one and while it fits behind the stock cover it also adds a bit of weight, which is great considering how light this bad boy is.
Seidio is also going to release a 3500 mAh battery in the near future! According to their website, it adds 3-5 mm of width. But for the extra battery I think it will be worth it. The only problem is I am debating on purchasing this because I had one for my tilt and well it flat out sucked after a month of use.
what do you mean it flat out sucked after a month, the thickness or the capacity of the battery?
The battery itself would barley last a day if I was lucky. Seidio just said it needed to charge like 8 times before it was full. It didn't kick in. Is this rare?

Did you let it fully drain till the phone died, and keep turning the phone on until it wont turn on anymore. Then charge it fully, unplug when it is fully charged, let it get back down to 90-95%, then fully charge again, let die & repeat. Do that a few times and your battery life should be better. This is what I do whenever I get a new phone...
We use LiION Batteries, No special charging required
OK, to start, there is NO NEED to do any special charging conditions with Li Ion batteries, it does not matter how they are charged. A standard battery will have between 400 and 1200 charge cycles before it loses 50% of its capacity (1200 if you charge at 50%, 400 if you charge at 0-10%, like when the phone quits on you). Ni Cadmium on the other hand does require special charging situations but we don't use them in cell phones because of the mass. You can do take the advice of the previous post, but if you do that I would suggest sacrificing a virgin symbian phone or doing a handstand while plugging in your phone to charge. That might increase the battery life too.
Secondly, I spoke with Verizon, and their 2100 mA extended battery will be available soon and it is supposed to fit with the stock backing, probably the best way to go if you ask me, only $60 too. I am checking their site almost daily waiting for this to become available since like many, I need more battery life, I find that I can barely make it through the day without being conservative with the use, and that's on a work day when I'm not on it that much, on the weekends I have to charge it in the afternoon.
If you want to save on battery, turn down the screen brightness, chose a background with as few colors as possible, the more black the less battery you will use since its an AMOLED, blacks mean there is no power being used on the screen. Turn off your GEO locations services both on the phone settings and in programs that run a lot. This will easily save you 25-30% battery life.

I was at a Verizon store yesterday asking about it and they showed me their documentation. Their extended battery will come with a new back cover that is slightly raised to fit the larger battery.
I'm waiting for this too because it looks like it will be the most aesthetically pleasing option.
Too bad the guy had NO idea when the accessories were going to become available. Ugh.

Verizon doesn't trust their employees very much - to prevent leaks, they don't tell people about equipment/accessory release dates til within about two weeks of the actual release. The Incredible launch announcement had one of the longest announcement to release times I've seen the the last two years.

I dont know, but my seideco 1750 def gets me 3 more hours a day on my Incredible. I have switched back and forth from stock and the extended...the extended wins EVERYTIME...so Im not sure about that report.
@ suzook
I read that my OEM TP2 rated as one of the best.
TP2 OEM standard issue Rated @ 1500mAh Tested @ 1414mAh
Most Likely our stock incredible battery has a lower mAh then it actually states it is.
@ Xxq TZ pxX
Yes it will work because its in my phone now working like a champ ;O)
I also told someone else here like myself who swapped from the tp2 ====> incredible and he seen it first hand as-well.
TP2 batteries work fine
Hey all,
The TP2 battery works fine. Same size and 200mAh more than stock... in fact I've seen them sold on Fommy.com as the thin extended battery for $44.95. Don't be fooled, and just go buy the TP2 batteries. They're cheaper if you don't need the therapy session of a rebranding.
Enjoy!
P.S. Got a workaround for Skype too...
I'm sure a number of HTC CDMA phones have interchangeable batteries.
I swapped out the 1500mAh battery from my Sprint Hero and put it into my Incredible. It's easily out lasting the stock incredible battery.
I ordered the 1500 HTC battery as well. Between those to staying charged I am not worried about it.
Also anyone know of a battery charger for these types of batteries?
For those of you that want a red 1500mah battery I found this but im not sure if its oem or not it just says its an htc extra capacity battery hxxp://shop.htcpedia.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=825
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.

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:

The ID number for my battery is: GB/T 18287-2000, if that helps.

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.

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.

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.
Buying the 1500mAh battery by HTC from htcpedia.com really helped my battery life.
It is like an average phone now. I took my phone off the charger at 6am this morning. It is now almost 3pm and my phone has not died yet... and mind you I have been on it for 4 hours HARD!! I've been browsing.. Market... texting.. talking.. you name! (Except gaming, and streaming)
I bought the 1500mah by HTC because of two reasons:
It was made by HTC (a known name)
It fits in perfectly without buying a thicker back covering (huge plus!)
Don't really trust Seido (Don't know them too well)
My steps once I got my battery.
Bumped Charged
Wiped Battery Stats
Drained Battery (until it cut itself off)
Bumped Charged again
Another note to notice is the batter stats from rival phones of the incredible:
iPhone 4: 1420mAh
Droid X: 1570mAh
EVO: 1500mAh
Nexus: 1400mAh
I got these stats from here.
Seeing these stats make me wonder WHY did HTC ship the Droid incredibles with 1300mAh??
Also... how in the world is Seido fitting those 1750mAh in there? Or are they REALLY fitting in 1750mAh? Hmm...
The 1500mAh provided by HTC puts my Droid Incredible battery life up there with the big boys
**I'm not putting down the Seido company nor saying that there batteries are flawed. All I am stating is that I don't know how they are doing it**

Would you mind telling me what % your battery was at by 3pm as you stated? Saying it hasn't died yet could mean like 3% remaining, ya know, to which I'd say I get similar stats with my 1300.
I too am in the market for a new battery and was unfamiliar with this one until this post. I have been eyeing the seidio battery but reading about its heat issue is worrysome. (Which reminds me, any comment on the heat?)
Thanks for sharing your info
I use this battery, too. If I go all day, wihout plugging it in, after 12 hours, I'm down to about 25%. After 14 hours, it's time to either charge it, or put my other battery in.
I also took the op's advice and just recieved this. What does wiping the bat stats do though?

I notice a drastic difference in battery life, and I don't have to charge my phone in the late afternoon. Definately worth it.

My take on "Wiping Battery Stats" is that it deletes the information that tells your phone that it is fully charged and when it is low. Wiping those stats cause for it to monitor and record new stats to base off of.

i have been using those batteries for about 2 weeks and have noticed a slight increase in charge time. the main thing for me is not having to charge the phone just swap batteries and more importantly NO BUMP CHARGING. that is a huge pet peeve of mine. but i digress. i have used extended batteries but i prefer the look of a slim phone. i normally don't need an extended or extra battery but it is nice to know that if i need the juice i have it. i don't recall which site i read it on but it was reviewed by android central i believe.

Bump charging is turning the phone off to get the phone to charge to full instead of stopping at 92%.

The fine print on the second one is exactly the same numbers as on my Andida battery.
Thanks guys... I don't understand why no manufacture can produce a slim extended battery. It would make the HD2 so kick ass
Is the Andida 1600mah battery actually thicker than the default battery? Seing some ebay photos it seems to me that they are the same size and there's no need for extended back cover for the 1600 batt. Anyone can confirm this?
Its not 1600 mAh. Maximum it has is 1300... Most users reported it to be of less capacity than standard one.

( Replace the ** , cant post Links under eight posts.
Mmm, if you want to go with big capacity & extended cover try finding original HTC extended battery & cover on a promotional offer.
Almost all of these extended batteries from China are junk with data chip sending false battery MaH data & many close to stated capacity batteries don't allow HD2 to utilise it without soft reset.
personally I went for a USB charge pack working from 4AA batteries, I loaded 4 UniRoss 2100MaH hybrio AA cells & it works great.
size is 68mmX63mmX18mm so easily to slip in a pocket or bag.
I get 2.5 charges from it, have total control over cell quality & MaH rating & it cost me less than $13 including new AA hybrio cells.
Just another option to consider perhaps.
I know a good store that sell many extended batteries for HTC, But now i cant send the link , forum cant accept that. if you are interested, send me the message.
Just type link address without www or replace a w with an asterix. Users can figure it out easily enough & copy/paste then correct address in browser bar.

I have gotten good service out of the Andida batteries. They advertise 1600, but they are actually the same output as the OEM batteries. But they are inexpensive. Some people have reported very low output from them, but that has not been my experience. Just don't expect 1600!

Question
Has anyone tried using HTC Desire HD batteries for their HD2? I just ordered these HD2 batteries that are 1350 mAh on an eBay store located in Brooklyn. They are 2 for $8, I figured worth a chance for only 8 bucks, but I'm still thinking 1350mAh still won't be enough. The HTC Desire HD batteries are 1500 mAh and almost look like they'd fit, but I'm unsure. Right now I'm running my HD2 on the Desire Z ROM that is rooted, I think it's made by Dandiest and Freak. This ROM is seriously the best out of the 3 I've tried. With it being rooted I was able to download the battery calibrator on the market and it has increased my battery life significantly. I'm still on the standard 1230mAh battery and I charged it to 100% and unplugged it at 8:49 AM and it's now 8:28 PM(I'm in Germany) and it has 40% battery. This is just mild usage though. Any suggestions, or anyone know if the Desire HD batteries would fit and work?
Please Help

there are a few ebay sellers who sell the genuine htc battery. just search for "genuine htc ba s520" on ebay. most are based in uk. all around 15 - 20 gbp.
you will find several chinese aftermarket batteries claiming higher capacity than the 1450mah of the genuine battery, but beware. none of them (i've tested a few) actually last longer than the htc battery, in my experience. and i don't know if the quality can be trusted. they do cost a lot less than the genuine battery so it is a cheaper option.
u can try dc mugen
I want higher capacity battery so that my phone last longer between charging.. not HTC ori battery with same capacity.. thanks ya..

If it would be possible to put more capacity in the same size battery HTC would have done that from the start, you're only option is to get one of those fat 3500mah batteries from ebay with a thicker battery cover, i'm thinking of getting one of those, unfortunatly i can't put a silicon case around the phone then ...
is anyone aware which is better battery among the custom makers ?
Will be great if that is available in India .
4000mAh Battery
Just bought one of those chinese 4000 mAh batteries on ebay.
The [email protected]#$%^ thing won't let me switch on mobile network (3G) ?????????!!
Real Handy.......wifi, bluetooth, gps all fine.
It may be an HTC issue, like Windows, doesn't like hardware changes, it may be the rear case,who knows?
It's a thumping big thing, twice the size, but I only get about another half a day.....Whooopeee.
Thankfully it was only about five bucks.
Anyone have a similar issue ?

SEIDIO SUPER EXTENDED LIFE BATTERY FOR HTC INCREDIBLE S
extended battery/door
Thanks mate, I'll take a look.
I've been using the previously mentioned Mugen 3700 mA extended battery (larger, yes, but I'm used to it already) for 2.5 weeks now.
I've completed calibrating and conditioning the battery thru the 5 discharge cycles as instructed, followed by some of the lore I've sifted from xda. It's been useful.
I used to charge in morning and had to be careful not to use my phone too much and need to charge again in one day if I used it a fair amount. My incS was used, so stock battery probably had wear.
Now I get two full days of moderate-somewhat heavy use, and very far into the 3rd day if I use it just for (many) texts and a few short calls and it sleeps half the time or more.
E.g., charged before bed, sat unplugged during sleep, heavy use today (gps for 30+ min, browsing, texts) and 71% capacity as of now.

Good try! how much it cost?
That's meant so far no identical battery with longer battery life (i.e. last 1 whole day for moderate to heavy use)? sigh...

Stick to genuine HTC batteries. Most of the Ebay fakes are far lower quality and often are mislabeled (especially if it claims higher capacity in the same form factor).
Your phone should last at least 24 hours on one charge though (unless you're using it very heavily). Try changing your habits a bit (turning off data/wifi when not using it) and also maybe try a battery calibration. If you do a battery calibration make sure you read a few guides on google and do it properly otherwise you will most likely be worse off.
Some aftermarket hi capacity battery need a special battery cover which makes it very ugly
I bought the 3500 mAh battery with fat back cover (from Ebay). Its a chinese ****s production... We know that on our IncS the antenna is placed inside of back cover. This chinese cover has some antenna as well, but the signal is much worse. For example with original cover I get like 4 full bars. With chinese ****s cover I get only 2-3 bars.
Im already having troubles with the signal in some places, but with this cover it will be even worse.. So I stay with my original HTC back cover. Dunno what to do with this 3500 battery..
why don't you buy another stock battery ?
i think stock one is gd enough.
I think that MUGEN 3600mAh is optimal high-capacity battery on the market. Its stable and reliable...

Has any1 tried using Seidio batteries for Incredible S?
Apparently, they claim to use Lithium Polymer technology as opposed to Lithium-ion.
Wikipedia says Polymer is superior to ion but also more expensive.
Only mobile manufacturer known to supply phones with Lithium Polymer batteries is Sony Ericsson.
Seido 3500mAH battery for HTC Incredible S is on eBay for $69. It says its assembled in Taiwan? Its also not as FAT as Mugen's but still needs a back door, which is included. They also have a website.
Mugen might have a new, superior competitor.
