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.

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.

I was thinking about getting one of those 2400mah batteries from ebay. Are using these batteries safe? Will they damage my device?
if you're not buying it from a carrier or company the phone came from, all bets are off. if something goes wrong and your phone fries, you're on your own. that having been said, I've used extended batteries I bought off ebay with my old blue angel and now my wizard phone without problem. if you don't want to take the risk, you can always opt for one of those battery based chargers. just make sure the battery is designed for the phone model in question and you should be fine.
As long as it's b.e. 3,7 VDC out (as needed on a variO) it's no problem. The 2400mAhr can only deliver more Power or Current as whatever your device likes to ask for.
I'm using this kind of battery (2400mAh) almost 1 year without any troubles.
I bought this battery at eXpansys USA.
Anyhow, how can they prove that I'm using this kind of battery? :shock:
They are not able to do that! :twisted:
Seen as how your buying from Ebay, have you checked the sellers history to see if he has sold many of these high cap batterys before? If so what are the reviews like. :wink:
As the Blue Angel I got already came with the standard TWO batterys I haven't needed a high cap one, but I have used one for another phone and never had any problems. Unlike them cheap high volume ink cartridges that exploded on me....
Think most of the problems with batterys have been down to the chargers over heating the batterys which causes pressure to build up inside. Useraly only happens with 'rapid' chargers.
2400 MAh @ Brando costs 36 US$ + Shipping cost 3 US$ = 39.00 US$.

these $25 2400mAH batteries on ebay.. are they actually 2400mAH or is that what the sticker says? anyone compared one to a new standard capacity battery? the reason I say NEW standard capacity battery is that of course even a new SC battery would last longer than the old battery so it wouldn't be a good test to say the new 2400mah batt last longer than the old 1850 mah batt... understand where I'm going with this?
size difference?
is there a size difference between the standard and the extended? It could cause problems with the cradle and I doubt any cases were designed with larger batteries in mind.
Hi guys !

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
Do not use inferior charger to recharge this battery in case of damaging the battery.

Bull****.

this won't have more than original battery.
the andida one is also very good with the same capacity as original and it costs only around 7$. i use mine for almost a year now and it's still good.

Define good
My battery lasts me about 8-12 hours of moderate use, and 4-6 of heavy use/no service use
I would call that good for what my phone can do, but of course I'd like better

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

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.

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.
My WildfireS extended bat topic.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296297
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

I have 2600mAh battery for htc leo and she is twice thicker than the ordinary,this from link is same as ordinary...sry on eng
mmmmm.... just read the last negative and neutral feedback, a lot of them battery related....
100% fake, these gold batteries are total ****e.
2400mAh battery on current Li-ion or polymer technology would have to be almost twice the size of standard cell.
Any newer technology high power dencity cell will be 8 times the price of that & for sure would not be available via CrimeBay first.
best standard size replacement cells are Andida & Tekcomm on performance/price scale.
The HTC, CS & Mugen oversized cells only just manage 2400mAh & quality grade product will be more than 12 bucks.

thats how i use mine and i have no complaints, i bought a extended battery and i use my slim as a back up, which i never really have to use
check this one out it on ebay cost 9 dollars it says its an 3500mah and they are in the U.S.A

Well if you still end up buying it which i personally would suggest not to and you find its not what it says it is you can always
open a case against them for it not being as described. Make sure you test it with a good battery app from the market to see
whether your gettings the full mah that is advertised.
Even if it is real, you should know that you can't charge it directly. You have to take out the battery and charge it with a special charger.
OEM battery from HTC is $7 on Amazon.....i bought 2 and called it a day
I bought two and a wall charger as well i found on ebay for about $9 + free shipping (from China). I will admit i was a bit dissatisfied at
first because it said it was 1350mah and when i tested it it was only 1250mah. Still i have not had a single problem with them and have only
noticed it charges ever so slightly slower then the oem one. The fact i can have one on the base charging, one in the phone as well
as a backup to bring with me when/if it dies is a great convenience and definitely worth the $9 i spent.

noticed it charges ever so slightly slower then the oem one. The fact i can have one on the base charging, one in the phone as well
as a backup to bring with me when/if it dies is a great convenience and definitely worth the $9 i spent.

for the money it is a good option.
I done same & bought an Andida & universal off-board charger. Got bored of changing batt & rebooting so went with a AA powered usb power-pack fitted with Hybrio rechargable & modified to support AC fast charge, works well & still have the Andida as extra emergency when on long travels or need cell fully charged but don't have time to charge it ...
Some of the low cost large size & capacity cells with new battery cover are good option if you don't mind the big lump in your slim device.
its even possible, but not for that price. dont trust em, buy originals.
The size is usually at least directly proportional to the energy in the same type of battery. It's not physically possible, not until 2020, when MgIon batteries could be produced. And you can bet those are gonna be hella expensive if it comes out. It's been tested that for most phone usually OEM batteries are more efficient at energy/$.
There's no battery on the market having this capacity at this size. It's not possible - maybe in a few years, but NOT now.
My cousin bought a gold battery for HTC chacha for 15$ 2540mah, same size as original 1250mah... no problems, can last 1week without problem,
don't know if he's lucky or what but when I see that I just want to buy one too
more than luck, that battery been blessed or sprinkled in magic dust ...

i got one of those for myself.. what a waste of money..
I've got one of these gold ones. Seems to last just the same as any other battery. Probably not genuine, but it's not any worse or any better than other ones. Don't know how to test the mah properly though.
Those batteries should be banned - they are counterfeit and lies about actual capacity. Whats more, they are very dangerous to use - have fun with self-combustible cell.
Does anybody know where can I buy original battery for my Xperia V? Or does anybody know about reliable one? I don't need extra capacity, I need stable battery.
My original battery died while ago and I bought some replacement which claimed to be original for XS (Same battery type). But now that battery is shutting down my phone randomly.

don't know it's original, but image is posted by seller is not different with BA800
It's not original one but Momax Battery could be fine too. expansys is selling it as accessory for XV.
I bought japanese version of BA800 at docomo shop while traveling japan. front side looks the same as international version of BA800 and works fine.

I don't want to spam, but if someone likes to buy the 3600 mAh Mugen Power extended battery for xperia v with backcover - without waiting long time for shipping to europe:

PolarCell batteries
The 3rd party batteries from PolarCell on ebay seem quite good. I've bought one recently and it lasts as long as the original battery when it was new, no problems 'til now :good:
A caveat for non-european buyers of course is that they're shipped from germany, so maybe it could take some time to arrive. But they seem to be shipped worldwide for no additional shipping costs
You would have to search for "BA800 PolarCell" on ebay to find them (I'm not allowed to post outside links yet)
Does anyone know if there are BA800-compatible batteries which really exceed the capacity of the original battery in a substantial way (which aren't just fake/imagination mAh statements)? The PolarCell battery states it has 1850 mAh (+100 mAh or 5,7 % compared to the original Sony BA800) so it's hardly worth mentioning...
you can get original BA800 akku cheaper than polacell. At least in europe. I don't see a reason to go for anything else.

If you can be sure the battery you're buying is actually a genuine Sony BA800 one, yeah of course. Otherwise you risk to get one of those cheap replicas with terrible specs (I've had this experience multiple times) and it's usually an annoying hassle to get the money back...
Anyway, anything about true high capacity batteries for the Xperia V?
