Well guys, this would be a first:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Htc-HD-2-batter...311?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb4d8f5af
But hold on though. It almost looks like a plain old re wrapped Li-Ion battery. The guys feedback makes me skeptical, too. Looks like he's new to Ebay.
Thoughts?
I believe its the same old crap. They say its 1600mA. But in reality even worse than standard 1200 mA. Price talks for itself.

You know I see alot of talk about these 1600mah batteries from Japan and alot of speculation, but I have never seen anyone do any real world testing. I was planning on buying one of the 1600mah batteries and doing a setcpu stress test on it as well as the stock battery and record the results of how long it took each to fully discharge.

Do it! If you become the guinea pig and the battery is indeed better, then you would be a hero in these parts lol.
The last battery I bought was a 'genuine' htc 1200mah from an amazon seller, turned out to be a fake that was obviously not htc.
Be careful with testing unknown batteries from unreliable sources, the fake one I had got very hot and was a poor fit into the phone. These phones are very temperature sensative and you would not want a lithium fire inside your HD2!
So is anyone willing to do some battery tests? I would be so happy if I could use a 1600 mAh battery and not need one of those huge, bulky battery covers.

You should be very careful if you try a battery from an unknown or not certificated source. I read about many cases, where people bought some cheap batteries which turned into a little bomb, because of some reason. and i don't know if i want to end up in a roll chair for my whole life just because of a 20€ cheaper battery. A battery can damage your phone not only by heat. Such batteries have also some extra hard- AND software for controlling purposes integrated and if there's a problem, it could cause other problems in your phone.
The normal 1230mAh battery is not very bad, one day for such a huge display and some other features is enough. and if i have to go to the jungle and can't charge my phone i will buy the bigger battery and won't mind about the thickness of my phone ^^
Just my thinkings

I actually can confirm, I can go with my phone with minimal to moderate use for several days. But when I am at work and playing with it nonstop - 4 hours maximum. That is why I got myself a GTMax battery

I would also agree with this statement. None-the-less, I ordered one of the 1600mah batteries yesterday. We're gonna have to wait a few weeks for it to clear customs however before I can do any testing.
Not the first...
I have the andida 1600 Ma and it is labeled as Lithium Polymer.
I bought a 1600 mAh labeled battery from eBay which came with very good packaging and even a tin case. The labels on the sticker make it seem fancy and trustworthy. However, in my experience comparing that battery with the stock HTC 1230 mAh battery, there is no increase in uptime. On Aondroid both batteries read 1230 mAh. Even though the 1600 mAh battery claims to have that capacity it really does not. I even weighed both batteries on a scale. The 1600 mAh Li-on battery weighs less than the HTC original battery.

It's not possible that a stronger battery is as big as the stock one. most of these people only put another label on a stock battery (or rebuild battery with the same power) and sell it for a higher price. I'm sure you won't get a Li-Ion battery with the same size as the stock one but stronger. With a Li-Po battery it's makeable but not easy and they'll have a higher price because of that.

The price makes me suspicious as well. I don't notice a lot of difference in device up time with my Andida battery, but it is still new and it may increase as I get past those initial cycles.
... if I don't reflash more NRG ROMs! They give strange readings for the first few battery cycles after a flash. I just flashed one yesterday, so it will be a while before it settles down.
The Chinese knockoff battery got here today. We're about to find out if it can hold It's own once I put it through the first few charge cycles.
It's sad that I'm able to get an 1800 mAh battery for my G2 that isn't appreciably bigger than the stock 1300 mAh, but there's nothing equivalent for my HD2.
Can't you return it. There should be eBay's buyer protectiontion just say buyer gave you the wrong item
Hi all,
I would like to buy a same size as ori battery with highest capacity available in the market now..
Anyone know where could I get it? What is the battery capacity? And lastly what is the price range? Thanks ya.. I'm searching for it as i donwan to charge my phone twice a day.. quite irritating..

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.

I just bought one from Ebay, it should probably land here on wednesday.
After i get it, calibrate it and get into it i'll let you guys know if its worth its money.
I will be buying a Samsung Galaxy Note this week.
I believe it comes with a 2,500 mAh battery.
Whilst that is fine, I'll also buy a second battery as a spare/backup.
You can pick up a third-party 5,000 mAh battery for £11.50 on Amazon (or £15.00 for one with a cover with a kickstand)
Any thoughts on such batteries?
If you guys think they're fine, I may even use Samsung's 2,500 mAh battery as the spare/backup.

They charge £55.80 for a 5,400 mAh battery and £27.88 for a 2,650 mAh battery. Do they think I'm a mug?
This has many fine reviews on Amazon and it's only £11.49. I don't mind if it's not 5000 mAh as advertised. For that price, I'll be happy for it to be 3,500 mAh - would still be more than the included 2,500 mAh battery.
I'd rather buy a battery bank to use it on the OCM. That's me, but everybody got his/her own preferences.

I was wondering when replacement batteries and battery chargers for the g4 will be available because I won't be able to get the phone until after the free promotion and want to have a spare battery always on hand.
If you have any idea that would help me a lot! Thank you in advanced
Update: I just search on Amazon, I find three sellers sell the LG G4 replacement battery except OEM : Trendon, iVoler, Hyperion,and I also notice iVoler has a promotion about the battery by accident, save $5.00 on Battery or Battery & Battery Charger , so I want to try it, I use the code " 2CK9NFN7" to order a battery and a charger, it takes me just $ 15.99, it's much cheaper than OEM and another sellers, it's a great deal,I share with someone guys want it.

There are actually several options on Amazon now. http://www.amazon.com/LG-G4-Battery...&qid=1436673751&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g4+battery
Or you could just buy the OEM battery and cradle on eBay. Warning though, a lot of the sellers are selling them for $50+, so it all depends on how much you would want to spend.

Idea
I have been thinking about purchasing 2 extra batteries (bundled with an intelligent battery charger, on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111714300303?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) in conjunction with the promo extra battery + battery cradle bundle I have on the way. I'd have a total of 4 batteries. I'd love to stop charging my phone itself altogether and save on wear and tear on my G4's microUSB port. What do you guys think? Good idea or not? The bundle off eBay would only run me $18.89.
UPDATE: It was a great idea! I never leave the house without a spare battery, and only plug my phone in when I'm in the car because I use it for music.
Invalid battery message
I bought the TrendON battery on Amazon but got an invalid battery message just after the phone booted. When I plugged the phone into the charger without the phone booted, I got another error message about an invalid battery.
Anyone else have problems with aftermarket batteries in the G4?
Update: I just tried the other battery (the package came with two spares and a wall charger) and it worked fine. So I guess the first battery is bad; the phone handles the other aftermarket battery fine.
I purchased Trendon on Amazon. Two batteries and a charger.
I tried 1 battery in the phone for a few charges. I left the other battery sealed.
I didn't feel like the Trendon battery lasted as long as the OEM battery. I wasn't going to spend hours investigating the issue or the other Trendon battery.
I found a Samsung OEM LG G4 battery on ebay and ordered it for $6 less than the Trendon package, although it was for one OEM battery only, which is all I needed. There were many sellers, but with experience, you can choose the seller you think has the best product. Not 100%, but you can reduce your risks. I only needed one spare, as I've carried for years with all my phones.
I returned the Trendon package, received the OEM battery which worked equal to the battery which came with the G4. After messaging with the seller, I was able to choose the date of manufacturer of the 2 dates available for the battery I wanted.
This is not to say that Trendon doesn't make a good product, but in my experience, I try to go with a spare OEM.
Don't buy Trendon!
I bought the Trendon two pack. Charged them both. Put one in the phone, closed the back and saw a puff of smoke roll out. Ripped the back off to find a hole melted at the corner of the battery and melted plastic on the back cover/SIM card. I think I'll be sending them back. (/sarcasm) Didn't bother to try the other one.

Well that's a little scary! I also bought the TrendOn 2 pack with charger. I've been using them for just over a week with several charges on each. So far haven't had any problems. One thing I noticed is that battery and BMS? temp are always locked at 23.5°C and 23°C when using the TrendOn batteries. Where the LG will fluctuate with usage. Right now BMS is showing 39°C and batt is showing 36°C (while plugged in/charging).
The benefit of that is my phone seems? to charge faster with the cable when using the TrendOn, but this could be a bad thing and potentially damaging to the phone/battery. I pay more attention to phone temp while charging if I'm using it, such as GPS in the car. With the OEM battery I'm not worried as much.
Overall I am satisfied with the TrendOn batteries. After a few charges I feel they last as long, if not longer, than the OEM battery that came with the phone. I bought my phone used so I'm unsure how much usage the original battery had.

If you purchased and tried it, which reseller did you buy from?
How is the result and battery life?

If it has risk of explosion stay away from cheap Chinese brands.

Try and let us know :laugh:
Those Chinese batteries always indicate higher than they actually are. Stay away from them, they're junk.
I had the same experience with the Samsung S4.
It's a marketing scam. The 3000mAh battery is pretty big itself, cramming extra 3300mAh is impossible without size increase (think about cell count)
Save yourself from stress & problems, get the 3000mAh one (and OEM if you find)
I tell you from experience that do not rely on the Chinese mh, are not real never
Go with a genuine part. If it swells or leaks, it will damage your phone.
