Looks like the Battery on my XDA 2 is on its way out......!!
Anybody got any 'recomended' locations to purchase new ones from....?
...oh..! and any thoughts on the "Extended" Batteries.. ?
..will the XDA still fit in the charging cradle with the larger back on..??
Cheers....!!!

Over a year ago I bought a 2400mAh battery directly from Qtek and I'm very satisfied with it.
Although the battery is larger than the original, either the XDA or the battery alone fit in the cradle.
A few months ago I bought a 3600 mA capacity battery from an ebay store because I was sick of having to recharge the battery every day.
With high usage, I'm getting 2 to 3 days out of this battery.
I'm in Australia and the ebay store was in Hong Kong - not sure where you are, but just do a search on ebay if you're interested.
Thanks for the replies chaps......
New batteries now bought... problem seems to have been sorted.
Cheers..!!!

Hello Loony,
have you received the batteries? If you are happy with them, could you tell me please where you bought them from?
thanks in advance!

I bought one of the extended batteries from the Hong Kong Shop on ebay... it was very cheap but I thought i'd give it a punt. Turned out great. Battery works fine, comes with the large back cover for the phone, fits in the cradle fine etc....
I get roughly 2-3 days out of it too, it's nice security, but if I've got suit trousers on I like the slim battery

I came across this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170212826483
It's a solar charger with 6000mAh internal battery. Output voltage is 5.5V and output current 1A. For me it seems to be perfect for our Kaisers.
I doubt you would get even external battery with such capacity for this price (it's £20 including P+P to Slovakia). And this thing even charges itself "on its own".
I will be probably buying one in a few days, but I would like to know if anybody has any experience with or opinions about this (such) device. Please share.
In my understanding it's only a solar-charger not an extended battery.
It would be nice to get an extended battery included the solar charger for Kaiser.
It does have 6000mAh acumulator inside and it can be charged via (included) AC adapter. So in a sense - it is (and can be used as) external battery extender.
Yes, actually it is so, but then it's too heavy to carry.
My wish is to have an extended battery with solar charger on the back cover. I know its just a wish, but would be a nice accessory.
Oh, I see what you are up to. IMO that would be inpractical, since you would have to have your Kaiser laying top-side-up to charge. Something like this might come to your interest (if they would make it for Kaiser, that is): http://gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=12048 It's an iPhone case that has Solar panel on the front of it.
Yes, something like that. I don't feel unpractical until I can find a smooth surface to lay down kaiser on LCD panel. Before some Nokia model came with such solar panel, I think great solution.

just have an off topic question. What battery are u using now? If some extended, where did u buy it? I cant seem to find a store here in Slovakia that sells batteries for Kaiser.
I'm using Mugen Power 1500mAh.
I bought through Eten webshop
HLI-P4550SL Mugen Power 1500mAh Extended Battery For TYTN II (P4550) / HTC Kaiser 120, T-Mobile MmDA Vario III, Vodafone V1615, AT & T Tilt 8925 (Cingular)

I currently use only OEM 1350mAh that came with my Kaiser. I have, however, bought this extended 2800mAh battery from ebay, which I am still waiting to arrive. I think ebay is the way to go for things like these - they are very expensive and hard to get in standard shops in Slovakia.
And I am very much considering the external battery w/ solar charger mentioned in my first post. I would use it especially for long (couple of days) bike trips that I will be doing. And £20 price for such thing is extremely good price

How does it work for you? Is there any noticable difference in battery life compared to OEM 1350mAh?

I was thinking about buying a new battery, but the fact that I will have to buy a new case also is stopping me from buying it. Give us a little feedback about the battery and also about the solar charger when u will get them. I am really curious.
Okay I will. I am not yet definitely decided if I will buy that solar charger, though.

Not really (may be 2hrs longer uptime), but I needed a spare battery as well. You also can buy 2000-3000mAh battery, those should be significantly longer uptime, but they come with a wider back-cover.
Okay, thanks for info.
@all:
I have just bought that 6000mAh solar charger. Will inform you in this thread, when I recieve it.
i too have recently ordered this, hope it is as good as it claims to be, or at least nearly as good, hope I don't have to wait too long for it to be shipped from Hong Kong
I have been astonished by its specification (and price), too. If it is going to be as good as it claims then the money spent will be surely worth it.
do you guys know if you can change the internal battery? for that price i skeptical about the quality of the 6000mah battery. can the solar panel charge the phone directly?
i don't know, i am waiting on delivery any time from 3 days til a week away from recieving it, will tell you all about it with pics if i get it before omikr0n
If the battery is totally dead, can it run the phone on solar power alone?
Hello!
Have anybody tried batteries for Kaiser, that are sold at Ebay? They look cheap and capacious.
http://search.ebay.com/kaiser-battery_W0QQfromZR40QQfrtsZ0
for example this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2800-mAh-BATTER...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Thanks
I have that one and its quite good, needs to be taken out at half charge or whenever as the phone thinks there is no power left.
How is with GPS? Does it works with this type of batteries? I have heard that there are some batteries that blocks GPS signals..
I still get GPS just fine, I haven't had any problems at all with it, yet....
Thanks, so I'll take it

I bought the same battery and it does not fit my TILT. The battery is too thick for the included battery cover. They want me to send it back to Hong Kong. I am awaiting email to see if they will reimburse the return shipping. Beware.
wow, thanks for reply, but I already bought it (for kaiser) strange - maybe there is a difference in batteries for TILT and for KAISER
Nope! Battery in link to eBay will not work with the Tilt!
Kaiser is the universal name for the phone! AT&T calls it the tilt! HTC subscribers [I believe] call it TyTN II. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
^^(aztilt) I'm surprise they are allowing a return and refund, since they are in Hong Kong and the reason for a return is 'incorrect battery' right?
This battery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350254 seems to be a great replacement for all others! Post #73 lists an estimated life increase! BEWARE: I believe company is still fixing any bugs/problems!
Their ad lists the Cingular 8925 which is the AT&T TILT. They are allowing a return and a refund of the return shipping cost. But, for $20 I am going to just keep the battery as an emergency backup. I don't need the cover to use the battery. I also found out that i can carry two standard batteries under the extended battery cover so that what I am doing now. I just have to open the cover and swap the battery if I need to. This way I will always have a spare backup battery with me.
The battery is bigger. You need to install a different battery door cover. If you search ebay they sell the extended battery door cover. Most sellers include the battery cover replacement cover for extended battery when your buy the extended battery. My guess is that you probably tried to save a couple bucks, and ended up with the cheaper item that didn't include the cover

The problem is that you can't read or don't want to look at the pictures I have posted in this thread. I got the extended battery replacement cover with the extended battery but it will not fit on the TILT. I was able to use that extended battery cover to carry two standard size batteries with the phone.
Just received battery - it fits perfectly, maybe its a bit smaller.. Haven't still tested out - because it has to be charged for 10 hours, before use..
Like aztilt I got the wrong battery/cover combination from that ebay seller (ukhitech). They offered a full refund (except shipping I guess) if I send the items back but I am a bit confused why they seem to send out the right battery/cover combination to some people but not to others. I bought my battery in May and didn't know then it wouldn't fit since I bought my AT&T Tilt later on.
The battery I got was 13mm thick and for P4550 Kaiser and the cover had a small hole for the camera so it was not the cover that can be seen in the auction picture.
I am curious to know how thick is the battery you have kpcz? And how does the cover look (large or small camera hole)? And you have an original HTC Tytn II and not a AT&T Tilt, is that correct? (Not sure it matters)
hello,
I have a little problem with the battery in my Raph100.
I´m using my Touch Pro for icq and surfing the internet and the battery must charge every 7 hours.
So found something interessting on ebay. A Battery with 1700mAh with the same size like the original one.
So what are you thinking about these "fake" batterys?
Yeah I'm curious about that too!
Could you give us a link to the eBay ad by the way? Thanks!
I have ordered non EOM batteries in the past.. (many for vvarious phones)... Overall I have been happy... Although their life usually does not seem to last as long as the OEM ones... But, the usually run for $5 instead of $40.... So I think they are well worth it overall.. right now I have 4 batteries.. When ones dies, I just swap it out... works very well for what I do... (I have one battery in the phone, one spare in my pocket, one in the charger, and one that is on my desk charged.... I also have a non-oem cradle that has a stand aloen battery charger in it). I got my batteries and other accessories at Bargaincell.com ... Check it out.. and search google, as bargaincell ALWAYS has coupons out there for $5 off or free shipping on $25, etc.....
I am looking for a Nexus One replacement battery. Any recommendation appreciated on where to buy something good and reliable (and what to stay away from).
A battery with a higher capacity but same form factor as the standard one would be great.
Thanks.
Mugen brand or Seidio

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the opposite of what most people will probably tell you... Go to eBay! I wouldn't eBay if you definitely need an extended battery, but if another battery with the same capacity of the original is good enough for you, you can get cheap knockoffs that perform as well as the stock battery without it costing you an arm and a leg.
My G1's previous owner must've overheated the original battery or something... it's puffed up and barely fits anymore and it doesn't hold more than an hour or two charge. I ordered a pack of three batteries off eBay that came with a wall charger. I got the batteries a couple weeks later. One battery was completely dead. One only holds about 90% as much as a stock battery usually does. One was perfect. I contacted the seller about the dead battery and he refunded my purchase price completely, no return required. All in all, it worked out pretty well for me... and the original cost was only seven or eight dollars.
Hi guys,
Last night I went out with a cheap spare batery in my phone and with the original batery um my pocket... bad luck, I lost the original batery!!
Now I'm just searching ebay looking for a good replacement but I guessing I can easily buy a fake one, just a cheap batery that looks like the genuine.
Do you know the best way to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.
I got a 1930 mah battery via from ebay from a company called ecell for £7.95 and its fine, charges ok, lasts as long as the original, maybe a wee bit better.can't go wrong for this price

Few days ago I also looked for an original (!) replacement battery. Guess what: In germany it's quite impossible to get a real genuine original battery, even on amazon you only can get fakes - always the same 1$ batteries from dhgate.
Try the samsung mobile store, prices are ok i think and you get genuine samsung.
