OEM Extended Battery for the Vogue

http://www.talkietech.com/htcto19hicab.html
I found this extended battery for the vogue. Any of you use this? If so how does it compare to the original standard battery?

that battery just showed up on the "battery scene"... it should provide more capacity based on mAh. i'm using Seidio's 2000 mAH battery it provides enough power to get me 1.5 days with normal usage.

Yeah I have that battery and anything is better than the one that comes with it. It lasts a lot longer as you would probably expect from a bigger battery. If you do get that battery it won't fit in your case anymore and the best case I found that fits it perfect by the way is this one http://swissmobility.swissmobilitystore.com/store/product/swissmobility_commander. It fits it perfect after a day of breaking it in. It is also cheaper here at this site http://www.buywirelessnow.com/smartwireless/buy/accessories/cat/615/accessory/298685 which includes the cover and free shipping.

Mind sharing pictures of what it looks like installed? Also do you know if any of the existing extended batteries would fit using the OEM extended battery door?
thanks,
-CC

Here are a few pictures. As far as other batteries fitting inside like the 2000 from seidio it probably will because they claim it will still fit in the original holster with the back you can get with it and with this HTC back it won't fit inside the original holster. This is all an assumption.

thanks for the pictures... if you have it, i'd like to see a side-shot of the phone with battery cover (similar to 3rd from left but with cover) and a bottom-shot of the phone with battery cover (looking from bottom). having an OEM cover vs. the tight Seidio cover is something i'm thinking about (not to mention having another backup battery). thx

Yo, here are the pictures you requested.

Guess I can't get the 2000mah battery then
What else you guys recommend ?
I've been thinking of getting the Treo 700wx

This is the 1500mah battery which fits with the original cover..

too expensive though, there's tons of them on ebay cheaper

Will a Extended Battery Door for a Capacity 1900 mAh battery fit a 2000mah battery?

i have the extented door for the OEM 1900 mAh battery and it easily accomodates seidio's 2000 mAh battery. in fact, the 1900 mAh battery is taller than seidio's 2000 mAh battery.

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward to the purchasing the door and the extended battery.

how much room is left in between the battery and the cover would you say? I want to put an led in the case for a non-flash/light. the mugen-power full case looks like it would work, but I don't want to spend $75 on a 3 year old phones battery.

2600mAh Extended Battery Review(VIDEO)

Hey, guys this battery is one of the newer ones found in Ebay. I took a stab and went for it as it was only 10 bucks. As you can see in the video this Quality of the construction is very good for a plastic cover. The cover and the device is flush on the sides, which is is perfect for me and ITS THINNER THAN OTHER ONES THAT I HAVE SEEN ON XDA. KICKstand is great too.
Take a look at the video.(incomplete due to the 256mb SDHC card )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPQ3zZLH-R4
part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U66JxD75bWk
Performance: Still testing the battery. Not sure how to, but I will recharge the battery with the device shut off and open up android to see how good the battery actually is. Seems like its using only the first half of the battery(16hrs with 80% left - I was listening to music, texing my cuz who was at bestbuy line for 55" LED Samsung, while I was at sears waiting in line till 1am . My cuz got the tv for 1500 so ) But I will try to recalibrate it.
The interesting thing was, when i first tested it, it was with mdjeejay 2.3 clean with NON EXTENDED Kernel. So, Im not sure whats going on there. (MAY BE ITS A FAKE)
But I kinda need help about testing the battery. Cause Im not really sure how to recalibrate it.

UPDATE: This battery works with any kernal available, whether or not the kernel supports extended battery does not seem to matter.

May i have link to it?
Thanks

Link added.

I have both the official and this 2600mah/2400mah (advertised elsewhere) with kickstand. The kickstand will fall apart after a short time... The hinges that keep them in place are very weak. Mine broke in less than a week.
The battery life is very good and doesn't add much thickness to the phone. I would say the total thickness is about 15mm compared to 11mm of the phone without the extended battery. I do prefer this battery in some sense to the official one with kickstand as it is quite a bit thinner (guess about 18mm) however HTC OEM has a "real" kickstand...

I have the HTC extended battery... Can these extended batteries be used with the HTC extended battery case??? I just need another extended battery... Want to use my HTC case and kickstand????

i doubt if you can buy just the battery.

Yes, I can use the HTC case with these 3rd party batteries but not vice versa as the HTC extended battery is thicker.

Another problem and mentioned on other threads the battery acts like 2 batteries. The controller is el-cheapo. Once you run out of juice, remove the battery and re-insert then you get another 50-60%+

but i have heard or read somewhere that you could calibrate the battery somehow to make android show the whole battery percentage. Any idea how?

Extended Battery + Docking station

Does anyone have the extended batter and also the docking station. If so does the d3 with extended battery installed fit in the docking station?

Yes. The extended battery + cover only adds like 1mm of thickness to the Droid 3.

which extended battery and from where??

yeah, that's the one I have. Works out great.

I have both and it works fine.

Yep, extended battery from Verizon/Moto fits quite well in the dock.
Those blue and purple snap on cases though? Not so much. The screen will barely slide and basically gets stuck if you have the extended battery. Doesn't matter though, my gf thought I might want one but turns out we gotta take it back since it doesn't fit.

Yes - and it also fits on the car dock.

People are using the the extended battery cover?
Mine fit just fine with the factory cover... it makes me wonder why they didn't just ship these phones with an extended battery in the first place.

I live in a very hot area. I use the cover just so the battery has room to expand from the heat.

Is it possible to order these outside USA?
I'd like to get the extended battery/cover, but being in Australia could be a problem...

You could consider a service like Borderlinx.

Okay, i'll consider it. Thank you.

I have the extended battery, the verizon case/holster, and the dock. While the verizon case DOES support the extended battery, its very difficult to fit the phone on the dock (with the insert removed) while in the verizon case with the extended battery. It says right on the box for the case that its compatible with the dock and the ext. battery but it took me several minutes to get it to fit, and even then, it felt really tight like it didn't want to sit properly in the cradle. This pisses me off.

I have both and it works. I will say that the docking station is a bit of a let down compared to the original docking station I used with the Droid1 and 2.
It's not weighted.
The phone doesn't slide in/out of it nearly as easily as the Droid 1 / 2 setup.
The USB port is for charging only, it's not a passthrough if connected to a computer.
Wouldn't buy it again.

Anyone have a feel for like the % improvement in average battery life with the extended battery?

I consider myself a heavy user and I went from my phone dying 1/3 of the day to the phone lasting all day. I'd say a good investment.

So factory cover is ok to use? If order, no need for new cover?

Oh i see. I need to do that as well.

I found this from Amazon,

2800mAh with back door

Please recommend battery for Otter Box

Hi, I purchased the otter box recently
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-08-2..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1319130910&sr=1-1
I am still using the stock 1500mAh battery... I'm curious does anyone know of any extended battery of good quality that will still allow the phone to fit into the otter box? I see many varieties being sold, like the 1800 slim, the 1930, 2200 and even 3600 mAh batteries..
I'm assuming if I get an extended battery that comes with a new, larger battery cover.. it probably would no longer fit in the otter box? If this is the case, are there any batteries that do not require a modified battery cover?

Get Motorola's extended battery. Its comes with a new battery door, but there is literally no difference with the stock cover. You can get away with using the stock battery door, but its a little bit of a tight fit.

MPJ battery ( 2500 mah )

Hy did anyone bought this battery from Ebay and has some experiences ?
It's declared 2500 mah and I dont this is generic Chinese battery like Gold batteries,do you thinks it provides real 2500 mah ?

I'd like to know if this battery is any better than the stock one, too.
I like that you don't need a larger back cover with this ebay one.... Anyone any experience with this battery? Also, with the larger batteries that DO require an extended back cover, how is NFC affected?

NFC won't work, because NFC antenna is in the original back cover.

you actually get nfc antenna included in custom cover, for example see here:

I googled this batteries,they dont seem low cheap *hit as golden batteries,but just google mpj battery s2 and I just see bad reviews of this battery,they dont provide 50 % of declared mah.

Sad, it seemed too good to be true. :/

There are varieties of extra capacity batteries for 4X, up to 4800 mAh @ 3.7V, but most require some custom back cover which usually doesn't include NFC anntena, and the true capacity is in question as is the quality (longevity) of these batts. Mugen's deal is genuine (from various reviews and remarks), the back cover has NFC, but the price is just insane, $90 for the cover and battery! And they're not that great:
Good battery but new case not good

The extended battery is about 20% better than original but case is not a great fit. The phone is LG 880 HD Optimus. Battery is costly for what u get.

Just 20% better autonomy from a doubled amount of mAhs is a failure.

Yeah, I'm thinking the $90 for a freaking battery is way overkill on the price tag. Unless that thing had a mini-arc reactor that can power the phone for a whole year without any slowdown, then the price is warranted. I've switched my original battery for the Onite 4800mAH and the performance is just about as impressive as the touted Mugen one for more than half of the Mugen price. Average non-heavy use on a single charge goes up to at least 2 to 2.5 full days to reach zero charge.
I've also played around batteries of varying sized from the gold 2450mAH up to the 4800mAH that I now use and I have noticed that depending on which battery you use, the phone either heats up insanely fast or rarely heats up at all. The gold 2450mAH battery I have has just as much of a pitiful charge as the original battery that came with the phone but for some reason, the recorded temp rarely strays between 77°f to 88°f at it's lightest and heaviest usage. The 4300mAH battery also shows the same readings as the gold battery. The Onite one I have that is 4800mAH is almost as normal as the original battery - in that it's temp rises depending on usage from 77°f up to 110°f (110°f at the worst without any throttling at all, graphite heat sink pad included). I have no idea why that is, but if someone here can explain, please do so.
As for NFC, I barely use it at all, but I do have more than one back cover that includes the NFC antenna for extended batteries if I ever feel the need to use NFC.

A larger capacity battery without larger backcover is impossible. The capacity of a battery is directly related to it's size (using same technology). Without using a physically bigger battery it's not possible to get more capacity, unless they invent a new technology. Maybe they can squize a few more mAh in there, but that's it.
So if you want a significantly larger capacity, you have to have a battery that,s substantialy bigger and therefore require a different back-cover.

Because the back of the case is made of plastic and is not thin. Is there a similar case for the 4500 mah battery?

And its cheaper than Aku,what do you think ? I have two 1800 mah golden batteries,one doesnt work and I plan to order stronger battery for daily use and leave stock and gold for backup

I can recommend this battery it gives more time of use

keep us updated

Got the battery yesterday, I'm fully charging it as we speak in an external charger. The battery itself is massive and heavy (you would think it was actually 5000mah just by visually inspecting). I will update and post back after I put it in. The back cover fits perfectly and tightly, pleasantly surprised about that.
My last extended bat was on my my touch 4g, so I have experience with them. Let's see how this pans out!
