I'm wanting to get a replacement battery but I don't want to buy a dud. I've noticed a couple of companies selling genuine/orignal batteries and to be fair they do look EXACTLY like the samsunt branded battery that came with my TyTN II. However, on closer inspection, in the top left corner of the pictures the battery doesn't say Samsung. Can't really make out what the brand is.
Anyway, my question is, did anyone get a battery supplied with their TyTN II that was not Samsund branded and looked like the batteries in the following listing?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=170230086920&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
Considering it is from a power seller and the price isn't to low, i would go for it.
That's the exact battery in mine. Mine doesn't say Samsung. It says Dynapak on the top. idk that one deff. seems legit.
Cheers guys. You've been a great help
well you better get batteries from an authorized agent - they could cost you your device. the batteries you shown looks OK but you need to be definite so go to agent and ask for them, you may pay slightly more but you could also save yourself a headache
Mine is Samsung, I never heard of dynapack. I wouldent buy it .
if you look at the top left corner, you will see dynapak. its legit, never gave me problems great battery life too.
Dynapak here as well.

My original battery is a DynaPack. SOmewhere on here is a thread where people posted the models of their original batteries. There might have been 3 or more variations.
Both are oem. Either Samsung or Dynapack will be fine. My original battery was Dynapack. The replacement is Samsung. I had my battery replaced because it was less than a year old and losing capacity. The ATT warranty will replace it for free.
Dynapack here also in my Tilt. Model KAIS160, 1350mAh.
Hi
I would like to buy another battery, but I don't know what parameters I have to figures out in the search. Can someone tell me what characteristic the new battery must have? Do you think that buy a battery of more capacity [like 1600 mAh] could be better? I use a lot the wi-fi and it consume a lot of power...
I saw battery of 1600 mAh costing less than 1350 ones.... Are they sh*t?
Thanks
extended battery with door
You can get non-oem standard 1000+mAh for 23 bucks at
http://www.wirester.com/at-t-8925-htc-kaiser-tytn-ii-li-ion-battery.html
You can also get non-oem extended 2400mAh with door for 35 bucks at wirester as well
http://www.wirester.com/att-tilt-8925-htc-tytn-ii-kaiser-li-ion-extended-battery-with-door.html
I got the extended one. haven't used it though.
Thanks for the reply.
If it is possible I will buy a battery without extend the back-door because if the PDA become thicker I will have some problem to fit in the car holder...
But my question is related to the characteristic. In the Italian ebay I saw a lot of 1350 mAh battery that cost from 6 to 40 € and I don't understand the reason...
I don't know, also, if the battery with more than 1350 mAh are useful, because on of my friends had bought a xlarge battery for his PSP and the time of using is reduced compare to the original...
I'm confused... Can you help me? If someone have bought non original battery can tell me the characteristic and his opinion compare to the original one?
Thanks
My first Tilt had a Samsung in it. The rear speaker failed after a month, so i got an entire boxed replacement at the store and it had a Dynapack in it. Havent had a single complaint with the 2nd unit i got with the Dynapack battery. Heck, i think even the battery life is better with the Dynapack than the Samsung one I had first.
Thanks for your advice. I've found some Dynapack in ebay.it and I think I will buy this.
If I will have more info about I will tell you!
Thanks Bye

The battery of the highest mAh that remain of the same size of the original that I found is 1600 mAh...
Bye
there are only a few differences i can see with it vs mine... with that one, it has a DC##etc under the bar code, i have a S/N: ###etc.
The one i had in mine was a Samsung, model KAIS160, rating 3.7VDC, 1350 mAh, 4.2BDC
Of course, i did buy a used device, but i believe it was the OEM battery...

Hi,
i read somewhere (French source) that HTC was going to release a larger capacity (rumoured 1450mAH) battery in the next 2 month for the DHD. Can anyone confirm this ?
German HTC have refused to comment on it.
That would be amazing!
Ain't gonna happen, thats my guess.
HTC don't win anything with this and i don't think its even possible because of the fixed alu. housing. They can't make it bigger.
New phones arrive soon, so they not gonna put effort in making a bigger battery.
My 2 cents.
Post a link with that info.
i hope they do come out with that. it should be 1500 mah in the first place
I emailed HTC about a month ago, Nada. But they said they're investigating the battery life
I saw some batteries on Ebay, but I think they are cheap batteries, it can be dangerous...
don't trust the third party batteries, they don't perform well.

I really doubt it. Also, 1450mAh would only be an increase of 18% of capacity. Of course any increase would be nice, but current battery tech coupled with the alu housing just doesn't allow for much higher capacity batteries than stock for the DHD.

I can confirm a new "Replacement Battery for Desire HD" is available, the very same size to fit in the unibody, and it is 1600mAh, you read well. I ordered one about 10 days ago, they tried to deliver it today, but I wasn't home, so I have to go to the Post Office tomorrow.
You can order it from HTCPedia:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/inspire-4g-desire-hd-extended-battery-1600mah.html
But I found it cheaper, here:
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/standard-battery-for-htc-desire-hd1600mah-p-3411.html?language=en
I'll report back about it towards the end of the week.
This is not an htc brand. There is a thread discussing screen issues that was caused by a similar battery expanding after several charges and pressing against the screen. Personally I would stay clear of non branded battery - its not worth the risk.
Htcpedia is not related to htc.

These aren't official HTC batteries and if they are similar to the ones being discussed, endlessly, in the accessories section are inferior to the stock HTC batteries and unlikely to offer any gain in battery life, but please report back but give the batteries at least 7-10 days of normal use before offering any realistic feedback.
Well, you managed to scare me... I thought HTCPedia was serious enough not to sell or advertise garbage.
It cost me less than 20€ (about 28 USD). I'll give it a try around 7-10 days right, but will most probably remove it if I encounter screen issues.
Yep picture looks exactly like the one I got from a UK supplier and has swollen enough to press against the inside of the phone
Did it last longer. Ermm yes and probably about 30% longer but over the two months I have had it performance has dropped below that of the original so personally I have been unsuccessful and will be sticking with the original HTC one
Id buy this but the battery life isnt as bad as it used to be. Its probably got something to do with HTC shipping their batteries uncalibrated or maybe Im just getting used to owning a smartphone
Isn't there a new nano technology available that can store more mAh? Maybe thats what there aiming for? They will profit from it because many would buy an Official battery with mor mAh..
Just do some tweak and it will save ur battery life longer..bigger capacity just giving it more juicer but that is not far different from original. I think just flash to new recommended ROM + Radio to get the best result
Battery lasts nearly 2 days for me with moderate use on standard HTC battery.
You just got to get the phone set up right or go the custom rom route to get even better battery life.

Net yet.. Battery Technology has hit a brick wall at the moment and basically what you have now is the best out there...
However there are some clever stuff happening. There is one which I particularly from last year
http://www.greenmuze.com/climate/energy/2761-mit-nanotube-batteries-.html
However we are still at least 5 years away from this entering the market in my opinion...
Just try and buy an extra battery if you really need more juice
Hi everyone,
as my HD2 gets older its battery life time isn't satisfying anymore. (See below)
Now I am looking for a new battery and as far as I remember a couple of months before our kernel developers did some work on battery support. Therefore I am unsure if these third-party batteries are still compatible with Android-HD2s.
Is it safe to buy one of these third-party batteries and use them with Android or should I stick with HTC's original batteries?
Thx in advance for your help.

Get yourself some Chinese extended batteries I've had them since January
they're from 2400ma to 2600ma so you're doubling your battery life
Theyre worth the 10 dollars here in usa I bought two of them
dont know how much they are in germany.... but theres plenty of them on Ebay I dont buy them from a chinese seller bc of the 2 week wait
you should find some german or european seller quite cheaply too
They are SO worth it
I barely even use my standard battery anymore I keep it as back up lol
As far as Htc batteries THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE
And trust me they are ALL made in china no matter what. Hell everything is nowadays
I'm using Chinese extended 2600 mAh battery and I can run for 2 days with it (approx 5-6 calls, 30 sms and about 1-2 hours of Internet per day).
I use the original battery from HTC.
My record is 1d15h without charging in normal use (as i used it with all the other ROMs, which last only 13-14h).
I use Tytungs Nexus GB ROM + r12 Kernel.
A friend of mine just bought a new Transformer Prime and is looking to unload his current one. He offered me a price of $250, and that includes the KB dock and necessary accessories. Seems like a decent price with the dock.
I have been reading up about the device, and discovered that the KB and the tab have their own batteries. Are these user replacable? If not, how much do these cost to get replaced? From my own experience, these Li-Ion batteries only seem to last a year or so in phones, so I don't expect much better than that from either of these, and will probably need to replace them soon.
Also, I've seen a lot of talk about random reboots. Are these generally hardware related issues, or is everyone just back to running buggy roms because they have that need for ICS? $250 is too much for me for a device with random reboots.
Also interesting to note... a friend of mine with an Atrix has been plagued with random reboot problems as well, so perhaps this is a Tegra 2 thing? If anyone who has been around this forum for a while would care to provide some insight.
Thanks.
To answer as objectively as possible:
Batteries: Non-user replaceable
Battery life: I have had my TF for nearly 1 year and the battery still works for a good 7-8 hours before needing juice
Random Reboots: This is an issue that surfaced after the latest ICS update from ASUS. ASUS has identified it an a fix is expected next week according their announcement.
Would be happy to answer any other questions you have.
They are lithium polymer batteries, they aren't replaceable, i wouldn't worry about the batteries
The tegra2 drivers are causing the reboots BTW, thanx for the info on the atrix.
Thanks for the quick, and to the point answers! I was mainly concerned with the batteries due to the issues I have been reading about with the keyboard dock and power drain (in combination with their usually short life expectancy). I take it from your comments that the keyboard dock power issues have been completely resolved by ASUS at this point?

No...But are you not going to root it? I reverted back to Honeycomb. Smooth. Overclock. Batteries last forever.
Asus hasn't released anything. It was posted on a facebook page that they plan to? Take that for a fix soon.
Thanks everyone, ended up buying the Transformer so you guys will likely see me around here a bit more often.
The keyboard dock is very nice, and I love the way it trickle charges the tablet to keep it full throughout the day. Haven't been able to kill the tablet over the course of a day, so I have to say I'm ecstatic about the battery life.
Already flashing new roms and testing out new features (such as cornerstone).
To add to your question, I am also buying used Transformer. Is there anything I should check before buying on Craigslist? Like light bleeding, color, Serial number?
@metaldood if you want to buy used transformer and live in USA i advice you to check also amazom.com they have good prices but couldn't take it there 'cause i'm in italyand after shipment and taxes the price is like the new ones here.
however i purchased mine with dock for 350 euro
My bosses are due for an upgrade and i have been reading everything under the sun about which smartphone has the best battery life... problem is, every website has different results if any on battery life. I realize that big screens and quad-core are all the buzz, but the HTC inspire that one of my bosses has, is a battery hog. We have tried everything to get more life out of the phone, new batteries, multiple batteries and nothing seems to help. The one with the HTC is a power user. Texting and calling around the clock. I would like to get him another HTC with the same screen size because he is used to it. Any ideas/websites would be appreciated. I have read too many reviews and battery life seems to be an afterthought with most reviewers. I like to see test results and comparasions on battery life but so far i have not seen any good ones.
thanks in advance!
I'd recommend looking for a phone where and extended battery is an option - or having multiple batteries to switch in and out (or, following that, multiple extended batteries to switch in and out).
I don't think any phone out there really has abnormally good battery life - if you're a power user you need to find another solution like an extended battery or power pack or something.
I've gone with multiple stock-size batteries for myself. I feel like it's reasonable for the device to not last all day - there's a lot to power there so I don't mind the one minute or so that it takes to exchange for a fresh battery - and the spent one can charge while the next one is being used so that you don't even need to plug the phone itself into a wall.
The Samsung Galaxy Note II has been getting very good feedback from a battery life standpoint.

Looking for a phone that has a battery that has the biggest Ah spec is a good starting point. Also, most android phone reviews include a battery test, but you should only compare reviews of different phones on the same site, as each site probably uses a different testing method to see how long the battery lasts. I don't know if there are any phones that have a lithium-polymer battery instead of a lithium-ion, but li-po batteries have higher energy densities (that should reflect itself in the Ah spec).
GSMArena has set up their own standard for testing battery life. For the average they include 1h of calling, browsing and video playback (all separate and the rest of the time is on standby) if I remember correctly, that way they get fair testing conditions for different phones (some are better for browsing, some for calling, diffrent platforms etc). They also include battery life for browsing, video and some other activities seperately. To me their tests are quite nicely standardized and thought through.
Searching from the biggest capacities is also a great idea, GSMArena has a new search field, which lets you to search according to battery capacity.
I'm not totally sure if they have a certain page for maintaining their battery test or if they have them somewhere on the phones info page, but I would start looking for them through the search or from the blog part of their webpage!
Best of luck!
Thanks for the replies i appreciate them.
I will check out GSMArena

No problem. Glad I could help! Only thing that I would like to find are the overall rankings of their endurance test result. AFAIK it doesnt't excist, but hopefully Iäm just blind
Also sent them a letter that it would be good for something like that to excist, but haven't gotten an answer so far, doubt I'll get one.

Just get a Samsung Galaxy SIII with a ZeroLemon 7,000mAh battery for 3 days of use. They're out of stock on Amazon atm, but they should be getting some in stock soon they told me. For any phone your boss gets, go for a Gorilla gadgets extended battery.
Some years ago, phones used to have a battery life that lasted days even when under heavy text and calling activity. Nowadays, those little devices have been increasing their capabilities beyond the advances in battery technology.
I don't choose my phones thinking on battery life, I'm ready with USB cables and charges at home, my car and soon enough on my bike!
The phone with the best battery life is the Motorola RAZR MAXX (on ICS or later) by a long shot. It beats all the competitors by far.
The Motorola RAZR MAXX has old specifications, but it's not too bad. It's still better than my iPhone 4s; and you could argue the iPhone 5 too. The Motorola will still handle all your daily tasks no problem.
Here is a battery test on the RAZR MAXX: http://blog.gsmarena.com/motorola-razr-maxx-battery-life-is-complete-makes-chargers-feel-lonely/
