I tried one. It will work to charge the phone if it's turned off. It doesn't keep up when the phone is in use. In my case, using the GPS.
I'm still looking for an external battery like this that will extend the run time while I'm out hiking.

I didnt know you had to turn it off for this one.
I guess I should go with 2nd battery and cradle. Whats worth it 1350mah OEM vs 1600mah aftermarket? hmm.

Actually I have one that my wife bought me for Christmas, I use it on my HTC Tytn aka Hermes. I love it. I can plop in a set of freshly charged Energizer Nimh 2500mah batteries into it plug it into the phone and it it charges while I use it, no problems at all. It can take my extended life 3000mAh Hermes battery and take it from 20% up to about 80% charge in about an hour. Works great for me, as I have a car charger to go along with the Energizer AA batteries which charges 4 of them to full capacity in about 15mins. (granted they are scorching hot when they come out of the charger)
I will be posting a more in depth review of the Energi To Go charger in the Hermes section later tonight.
As for me I am a really happy customer.

nothing can beat this product. the advantage it has over all others is that you can recharge the unit with a wall outlet. no cords needed. i use it for my phone and my archos player. no one really talks about it so i guess i got lucky finding it.

I use the energizer to go. Not on a regular basis, but I keep it with me at all times. I use the 2500 rechargeables charged and when you need that extra power, you got it. I also have the seidio 1600 battery, but guess where that is? Always at home in a drawer. Energizer is really I think the best way to go. But since I flashed Duttys 6.1, I don't use it that much. The battery life in that rom is INCREDIBLE!! I run Blackberry connect 24/7, leave the house at 4am, back home on the charger about 9-10pm, still have over 50%, with moderate use during the day. So between Energizer 2 go, and Dutty, I'm gone

Thanks mate!

Circuit City had these units on sale for $4.17 until yesterday.
Looks like their supply is now exhausted.

I used Motorola P790. It is rechargeable and can have 30% recovery each 1and half hour.

XPERIA X1 -My Battery Add-On- Safe?

So i decided to use my old K610i battery in my XPERIA X1 because i noticed that they both use the same voltage 3.6 volts to be exact.
When using the k610i battery the phone seems fine and runs just as smoothly as before - only thing is i cannot charge the battery through the XPERIA X1 because i get an error message saings Alien Battery but that doesnt matter since its could just be use for emergencys or big trips and such - anyways let me know what you think.
Thought i'd give it a go - do ya'll think its safe though? dont want to damage my x1 lol

erm.. if u live in the us or are traveling to the us i'd expect u to be on the news once u get to the airport... dunno if its just me but it kinda looks like c4 to me.. but to answer ur question i'd expect it to be safe enough..

lol i see your concern lol - i can assure you it isnt c4 lol - tis just the back of the battery - had to flip it round cause the + and - terminals were different to the x1 battery

Oh wow, that looks ghetto, i hope it wont explode or something .

Lool i sure hope it doesnt!
to be fair i've done a pretty ameture job lol - cardboard and tape!

Any other opinions?

looks fine to me.
they use the same li-po/li-ion cells in all their batteries, so as long the voltage is the same in both batteries it doesn't matter.
current is limited chemically by the li-po/li-ion cells themselves and cannot go above a certain level, which clearly cannot be reached, cause otherwise xperia would not be using a li-po battery.

[Q] performance of the 'bigger' battery with current android builds?

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you out there are using the bigger battery, the one iwth the kickstand, with the current android builds, and how long does it last? The current one makes it through a day of heavy use, how much does that change with the new battery?

Well I've been using mine pretty heavily all day (bear in mind it's 22:35 where I am as I'm typing this). I've played a couple of YouTube vids, music aswell as check my Facebook and Twitter regularly and the battery is at 49% right now. I also use SETCPU which I'm sure makes a difference. Check my signature for my ROM and Android combo. Hope this answers your question

Can we specify what battery and how many MAH they are?

They're both talking about the official 2300mah extended battery.

That's correct

i just received one of the official 2300mAH batteries, (kickstand case)
i have run it overclocked with mdeejay's 2.1a for over 20hours now. (still using setcpu to turn clock to 384-245 screen off, clock is 119000 and 76800 normal.
doesnt heat up above 80degF
i would say they are worth it. (ebay ~35$US)

Holy mother are those things huge. Do you guys have a case that fits with that bad boy on it? That's just unreal battery life.

For sure, I don't know if it's worth it... decent battery life in android for a phone the size of an xbox 360 controller?!??!?! :}

I'd definitely say it's worth it. and it provides GREAT battery life for overclocked android. You'll realise how much more you can get done from just your phone with this battery. Especially when you're on the move

Thanks for your answer mate. I think it's definitely worth it too in that case. Besides, if the size bothers you, it's not like you have to use it constantly - I mean I'm fine with the standard battery for a normal day, but this would sure come in handy when traveling or sth along those lines.

bad battery?

I woke up 20mins ago and I uplugged my evo from the wall...said 99% battery right now it said 83% and there were no apps running or anything,no phone calls no texts, nothing, it just sat on my desk.
anything I can do to optimize battery? I am considering buying one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-3500mAh-exte...Accessories&hash=item3cb822c62d#ht_4799wt_752
can I check if my 1500mah battery is good? thinking of going to sprint to have it checked out.
I searched and found a guide about plugging and unplugging the phone a few times but it did not help me.

That plugging/unplugging thing really works the best for and SBC kernel.
What setup are you running now (ROM/Kernel)?
There is a way that HTC released, it's in my signature.

Running synergy RC2 with latest radio package in the dev section.

try the radio setup I have in my sig.

Buy another battery. lol. But in the package with the external charging unit. so you can let your batteries run close to dead once in a while then just swap the battery. It'll keep those batteries in good shape. :-D Don't blame it on radios. But could be just that your signal/tower where you're at sucked for a few minutes. maybe they were working on a tower? who knows. Good signal=good battery

I bought this battery and can get 4 days off a single charge with normal usage, and 2 days with heavy usage: http://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Exte..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1311442664&sr=1-2

I am going to try the uplugging charger trick again...the ac compressor on my car went bad and I'm trying to save a few bucks to get it fixed
I'm thinking of going the ebay route and getting a cheap 3500 mah battery.

damn I cant buy the 3500 >_< phone wont fit in my otterbox case, the max mah of a stock fit battery is 1800 right? Guess I'll have to settle for that

I wanted one of those, but sadly. like no one is smart enough to give us a real case to go around it. there aren't any supplies for it on cases. Plus it looses the point of the phone being at least a little light. makes it too thick.

Yeah, I tried to look for some but didn't find anything, my brother bought this phone for me on the local classifieds and the dude who sold it to him had 2 batteries for it with a wall charger...I don't use the second battery because its a pain in the ass to switch when you have an otterbox case. thats why I may get the 1800 battery, I've read around that its the same size as stock.

Closest review i found was for a 2200mAh model:

I've used similar ext. batteries (Energi brand), they only charged my old Samsung Captivate to 78% during a flight.
So... I only use them as emergency.

I would only need it for a quick topup.
The discussion page on teambuy says it has a 1A output so that would help.
I will be going on a weeklong event with long days and just dont wanna run out of juice before the day is over.
My N4 with minco and franco does stand insane battery life though so I wouldn't worry but would juts like to know the reliability of the product, being aware that they rarely respect their mah rating.

Why not an unu charger. They make the iPhone battery extenders that I see a lot of people use.

what is the size of the 1200mah one? the $12 deal is for the 2200mah, do you have a link to where you can get the 1200mah version?

1200mah is really small... Nowadays most people go for around 10000+ mah.

Oh wow crazy typo. I meant 2600 as per the teambuy link!

1200 would be nice if it was the size of a USB drive. It's not always practical to carry around a 10000mah charger.
