Hi all,
Has anyone tried the Epic 4g battery in a Captivate? I think they are the same battery shape/size etc. Any reason I shouldn't buy one?

50 dollars for a 1600mah battery that probably isnt even 1600mah...you're better off just getting the 1500mah samsung battery from at&t for $30
Price isn't really an issue, I was more interested if anyone has used the 1600mAh in their Captivate. Seidio uses excellent quality batteries, I've purchased their extended batteries for most of my phones. If you're really worried about price, you can also order from Mugen (who also has excellent quality batteries) for roughly $40.
check out batteryboss dot org
they tested the seidio 1600mah battery for the N1 and it has an actual capacity of 1305mah. Mugen 1800mah batteries are really 1404mah.
check out the oems on that page...
here's some testing from another xda member http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906611
you can get some 5 dollar batteries from ebay that preforms just as good as those seidios and mugens but to answer your question yes an epic battery will work for the captivate
Lots of good info thanks man

So, I haven't looked for extended batteries in a while, Andida 1600mah only seems to be only as good as the OEM
Has anyone tried

Are they better or the relatively the same?
Appreciate any thoughts and comments
When you see it from China, consider it FAKE.
i've got the second one. i don't know if it's true that have 1600mah but for sure have more long lasting than the original

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.

It is the same size, but my HD2 shows about 1230 mA when fully charged. Still, a decent price for a replacement battery.

Anyone tested this Battery?

You mean with a meter or something? My tbattery program indicates they are 12296 at full charge.
I have the 1600 mah battery and it is more powerful then the original u have to condition it first or you wont get the right amount of power after about 4 charges on it and then I had to charge the original 2 to 3 times a day but with this 1600 once a day and thats using wifi and other apps
Can you tell us how many mV you get at full charge?

This one is pure crap.
It lasts 2/3 comparing to original one and battery monitor widget shows the full capacity of 963 mah.
Whats with this?

Thinking about to buy it.
( 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'm interested in OEM or well tested after market batteries.

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
I buyed one week ago in Amazon an Extended battery for my Droid 3, that battery was Prodicell Premium Slim Battery 1950 mah, when I start use it, display me in the widget battery 1500 mah (the stock one have the same mah level) , where is the 450 mah aditional, if any one of you could help me with this issue, will be great .
This battery is a fake
I removed the label, is a old battery, with hits and scraches, I will use this as a backup battery. Thanks anyway. Not buy batteries to third party companies like prodicell.
hey Guys, I have seen mixed reviews about batteries.
I currently use the stock battery, and with normal use (wifi/4g) I can get 16 to 18 hours. Recently, the battery jumps from 50 to 30%, or 30 to 10%. So I have decided to replace it.
Stock battery is $19.99 now on VZW.
I see the Mugen battery is 2000mah and will fit under the standard cover. but is $42 bucks on amazon. I saw on some reviews where people went from 12 hours to 16...roughly a 30% increase.
Is this true? I like havign the slim size....stock battery numbers were ok for me, not that annoying....does the battery itself really give those kinds of increases?
I had a 4000 mah mugen 3.7v battery on my droid x2. Cost me $85, but worth the money. I got 18 hours on heavy use, and 31 hours just having the phone sit without using it.

I ordered the OEM extended battery. OEM Moto quality, cases available for it and it still fits in the docks. I don't trust aftermarket battery makers just like I don't trust a non-OEM charger.
Anybody maybe has experience with either this shop or the battery itself?

Probably better to get original LG battery through ebay for example, but even then I think it's difficult to be sure you're getting the real deal..!
I don't know about the above link, but I purchased an LG G4 OEM battery from this seller on eBay and have been using it for a little over 2 weeks without any issues.
From appearances and usage, it operates as well as the original battery which came with my LG G4 and I believe this battery to be an LG G4 OEM battery.
After I inquired prior to purchase, the seller has 2 date batches available:
2015.06.02 and 2015.04.08 batches.
I chose the 2015.06.02 battery.

I would never buy a 3rd party battery that claims to hold more charge then the original battery
don't you think LG would cram 3500mah battery in G4 if it could? And there were no sudden advances in battery technology that would enable this manufacturer to cram 500mah more than LG itself..
I've tested the Mugen 3100 mAh battery for the G4 and that extra 100 mAh isn't much. Since usage varies day to day, the difference is negligible so it's no better a purchase than a stock 3000 mAh battery. In the case of the Mugen battery, I'd just buy an OEM battery or get two third party batteries for half the cost (I've had good experiences).
It doesn't look like this 3500 mAh is that much more expensive than an OEM battery so, if you weren't able to take advantage of one of the LG promotions, it should be a decent spare battery if you could trust this brand.
Still, if I didn't have my promotion battery, or my Mugen battery, or my Hyperion extended battery, I'd rather go the route of finding two 3000 mAh batteries for a good price.
