Battery Replacement

Though it is not listed at the moment. There was a listing on ebay for an HTC EVO battery that seemed to be the HTC HD2 battery. Is it going to be the same battery? I understand that the battery in the HTC Incredible is the same size as the HD2 battery but is 1300mAh whereas the HD2 is 1500mAh. Will the HD2 Battery be the exact same battery the EVO uses? I would especially be interested in 1 or 2 increased mAh batteries. I always have chargers with me, but I find with spare batteries I worry less.

Battery on the Evo

Just spoke with a Sprint rep at a local corporate store. Battery will be a 1500mAh battery, but he confirms that there will be an extended battery that will be able to fit without need for a change to the stock battery door.

Any word on the pricing and availability of this battery?

Nothing from the rep. Basically responded with "I don't know much about battery life, but there will be a better battery after release."

that would be awesome if the extended battery doesnt increase the size of the phone

im willing to bet its the same 1800 mah lithium polymer battery that is sold for the hero and TP2, among other phones

Which probably means that we will be able to get the 2000mAh aftermarket batteries that are available for the Hero. That aftermarket battery on the Hero has been amazing (so much better than the stock battery).

Some people didn't agree as so, but I absolutely love the 2000mAh battery I bought for my Hero. It took me from 3/4 of a day of use to a full day-day and a half of use.

Anyone know how long the battery will last on talk time and stand by? or what's the average drain?

Apparently, the battery for the hero will work on the EVO. From what I'm hearing, this is the biggest extended battery without the need for a battery door replacement due to size.

new Samsung battery crashes phone!

At CES 2011 Samsung was giving away spare batteries to Samsung owners. (Thanks Samsung!)
The battery charged fine with my 3rd party wall charger (obtained with 2 spare no-name batteries via ebay), but when the new Samsung battery is in the phone and I connect my wall charger, the phone dies until the cable is removed.
Obviously, voltage is dropping below what the phone can handle while the new battery is installed and the charger is connected.
The original battery is a EB575152VA and has a black label.
The new battery is a EB575152YZ and has a blue label.
Anyone else have the same problem?

Grrr! They we're?! I wish I would've known.
Are you positive it's not your charger?

damn damn damn!! i want a spare too!

They're prolly trying to blow up your vibrant to force you to get a Nexus S

Your 3rd party wall charger may have fubared the battery. Just an idea. Alot of 3rd party wall chargers are set to behave/charge a specific way, which can nuke newer specialized batteries if they behave different than the ones released when the aftermarket charger was (even if the new battery is for the same device). The panasonic toughbook batteries are prime examples.

A few months ago I purchased a battery charging stand and additonal battery from Verizon (I own the Vibrant). This battery has the same blue label. It functions fine in the phone but if I connect to charge, it powers off. Additionally, when I put my Vibrant battery into the Verizon charging stand, it will not charge that battery. I have searched many forums and have not found a reasonable explanation or solution. How much different can these two batteries be?

After looking up the model of the battery and poking around.
http://sunpow.forumotion.com/t207-samsung-fascinate-battery-eb575152yz
Though Verizon's Fascinate belongs to Samsung's Galaxy S series, the Fascinate uses a different battery from other Galaxy S phones like AT&T Captivate, Sprint Epic 4G and T-Mobile Vibrant. From the appearance, the Fascinate battery looks exactly the same as that of other Galaxy S Phones. But the chip inside is totally different. The Fascinate battery can't work on other Galaxy S phones, vice versa.
Both rated at 1500mAh, the Fascinate battery's OEM part number is EB575152YZ/EB575152YZBSTD, while the OEM part number for other Galaxy S phones is EB575152VA/EB575152VABSTD. Here are details of Fascinate battery:
Battery Type:Li-ION
Battery Capacity: 1500mAh
Voltage:3.7V
Weight: 33 grams
Size: 51mm x 51mmx5mm
Original battery code: EB575152YZ, EB575152YZBSTD
Compatible with Fascinate, Mesmerize, Showcase, SCH-I500

More than likely it has something specific to do with when its mode changes for charging. The chip regulates the charge to the battery to optimize battery life and decrease efficiency loss. You can read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

Yeah, I made this mistake; I bought the official Samsung external battery charger from Verizon because it was $10 cheaper than the one from Sprint.
Foolish mistake; the one from Verizon only works on the Fascinate and the Mesmerize. The one from Sprint works on the Epic 4G, the Vibrant and the Captivate, but for whatever reason, it's $50, while the Verizon one is $40.
Still, $50 for an external charger plus spare battery is better than T-Mobile US charging $45 for just the Vibrant battery!

I think you need a aftermarket charger in this case. I have got a set from china and work for different brand of battery. Luckily.

Even with an aftermarket charger, it doesn't fix the problem with the battery being intended for the Fascinate and Mesmerize and not the Vibrant. The phone will not be stable with this battery installed.
From my experience using the blue Samsung battery: the Vibant will freeze often, and the battery gauge will not be accurate (off by +/-20% or more), the battery will drain ridiculously fast and the phone will become very hot.

3000mAh battery for vibrant on ebay for $20... came with the extended back cover a bit different at first but I got used to it. Works great.

I think the Samsung agent gave me a Fascinate battery instead of the one for everything else (including the Vibrant). I may just sell the Fascinate batteries on eBay.
I presume Verizon wanted a different battery to sell different accessories. I'm surprised Samsung went for it. They should have added a tab or something so the battery doesn't fit. Obviously even Samsung has trouble keeping things straight.
This is at least the second year Samsung gave away the batteries. They don't do it in the booth, but at a counter in area between the Central and North Halls, close to the Nathans/Pizza place.
Thanks everyone.. mystery solved.

Here is the thread that will get you to the battery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910519

Glad I'd found this thread !!!
I purchased an extra battery and charger on eBay recently. Imagine MY surprise when my phone started balking when I put the new battery in. I purchased EB575152VA , but needed EB575152YZ.
Anyone here with a EB575152YZ spare battery system want to trade out for an even swap ? Mine has been taken out of the box, the battery put in the phone, then taken out with a quickness when my phone chastised me. If so, please contact me or I'm going to eBay it. I'm so SO thankful I found this forum.
There's really not a lot of helpful info out there. You guys just saved me several hundred dollars in a blown up phone and a voided warranty.
Cheers !!!

Any to charge faster?

I plugged my dx and incredible in at the same time, both at 71%. The incredible is now up to 85 and the x is only at 79. What gives?

Different hardware/software for one, different batteries (I assume) and different battery capacities (again I'm assuming). Even if you had two Droid X phones side by side and drained them both to zero and then charged them side by side you might see a difference b/c of the battery itself or the calibration.
Not all batteries are made the same lol

Yeah I guess I didn't factor that in.

The incredible's battery is ~1300mAh, whereas the Droid X's is 1540mAh.
Even if they charged at the same speed, the incredible would be finished charging first.

Battery life

wow. This thing on airplane mode can even make energizer bunny eat dust!
Devices:
Samsung Galaxy S3 - stock JB leak
HTC Incredible - JB Inc RC3

Since I got my incredible 4g, I've had this thing in airplane mode using it as a calculator, flashlight, etc. I think I've recharged it 4 times in 2 months. I wish I got nearly that good of life out of it when I used it with verizon.

What ROM are you using, OP?

From his post, it says "HTC Incredible - JB Inc RC3 ". I'd guess that means Albinoman's.

What's the point of the "great battery life" if you basically don't use your phone at all to achieve it? Battery life should be determined by a week of normal use. If that's how you use it, then congrats, but for the rest of us, that's why they made watches.

Hear, hear! I'd love to see how long the op's phone would last if they were actually using it (e.g. as a pmp).

I use it in my car as an MP3 player and i charge it a little less than once a week. Now as a phone/without airplane mode this thing was not good on battery life. That's where the gs3 does great.

Just wanted to say that I run with 3500 mah batteries. Recently purchased a ravpower universal adapter for 9.99 on new egg. It charges my batteries fuller than a charger I bought on ebay for 20$ which was an evo charger with an adapter. The old charger would stop charging when battery was at about 75-95%. So I would get about 20-24 hours of battery life with medium to moderate usage.
With same batteries charged with new charger, i get the full 100% and up to 25-30 hours of life. So a good purchase if you want to extend the life of your Dinc. Its a cool charger too because since it's adjustable, and it will fit nearly any flat battery in the future plus it charges faster at 600 mah.
Btw, the thing I think causes the biggest drain on battery is the 3g radio. When turned off, and you could easily get 4-5 days of standby.
