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?
Well as the title suggests im looking for the BIGGEST Batteries for the Sprint Mogul AKA HTC Titan...
Im looking for the biggest standard size (aka no extended door needed!) AND im also looking ror the biggest extended size... one will be for office/meetings the other will be for home/long trips!
The biggest standard i have found searching the forum/google (with LIVE links) is 1650mah and the biggest extended size i have found (again with only LIVE links) is 3200mah
HOWEVER I have found old dead links of ones that do 1800/1850/1900/1950 in standard size... nothing extra special for extended size however..
Anyone got any clues and or wanna throw me a life-line on this one before i take the plunge (i mean comeon... 1650mah is NOT really that much of a boost from stock 1500mah...)!!!
THANKS!

I personally snagged a cheap 2800mAh off Ebay ($18 shipped) for my main battery.
But anyways
Seidio 3500mAh Extended Battery with Door for Sprint Mogul - $69.95 @ http://www.moguldepot.com/seidio-3500mah-extended-battery-with-door/8A37A3718.htm
I think I recall seeing a 3600mAh somewhere, but I'd have to look more.
damn... 3500mah i was just looking at seidio's site... and thats what i meant in the first post... not 3200mah... damnit..
anyway.. while im looking at seidio's extended battery (more because they offer a case that fits the extended battery as well) i need a bigger standard size battery more... i use my phone so much at work i have to charge it at lunch... and it wouldn't look professional with that ugly extended batt...
thx tho...
Hey Kane my wife's Mogul original battery would barely last 7 to 8 hours with her heavy use. I got her the Seidio 3500 MAH battery. Now with her extended uses she can almost go 3 days with out charging! I also got her the rubberized case. I can also say if you have the normal rubberized case with the belt clip it will fit with the extended battery. I am about to get a 3500 battery for me as my Mogul barely last 7 hours with my use and I have to a cigarette adapter to recharge during the day, using blue tooth drains the batteries a lot too. I sent Seidio a Email as I noticed that the normal cases are colored. (Red, Blue and black!). They have not answered my Email yet. I'll call them in several days to see if the colors are available. I am sold on the larger battery. Yes it big and is heavy but well worth it. So I can watch more of my sling box and run the internet as much as I want to and run my blue too ear piece. I have 3 Emails accounts polling every 15 minutes for work so it keeps my phone filled with Emails.
Chuck
Not let down by the big battery!
haha.... im going to be getting the 3500mah batt and the extended case they have as well...
BUT im still looking for that 1850mah or 1900mah or 1950mah battery that i read about before i had my mogul... that DOESNT require the extended parts...
my co-worker has a mogul as well with the extended battery and it looks bulky as all hell when he pulls it out during a meeting... definitely do not want for work... home yes... work no..
I found this in the accessories section
Hopefully the link works http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/
The one you want is the HLI-6800 which is an 1800 standard size battery, I'd be interested if there was a bigger battery but in the standard size.
That mugenpower battery is the biggest I've heard of at 1800. From what I read it give you a nice boost in battery life, but don't expect miracles. It's about 20% higher capacity and hence gives you about a 20% increase in battery life. I'll be getting one eventually.
Mugen 3600mAh
Google these words:
Mogul 3600mah
You'll find the battery I use, a 3600mAh by Mugen Power. I've just finished my first 6 days with it. Its capacity seems to grow each day as it breaks in; for my usage pattern, it now drops an average of 3.5 percent per hour of use.
I've ordered the Seido rubber case that's designed for Seido's extended battery. Seido claims the case is for their extended battery only, but I don't believe it.
I have the Seidio 3500mAh Extended Battery in my xv6800......Its a monster.....I only go from 100% to 89% in a 12 hr period. Maybe even longer
This may not be a solution for you but for some uses its an inexpensive. Digital has a USB battery pack that holds 4 AA batteries ( rechargeable work fine ). It comes with a correct mini USB connector on a self retracting roll up coil and a standard usb male connector on the other end. The connector on the battery pack is a standard female USB. It has an on/off switch as well. Price: $9.99 @ WalMart not including batteries.

It sounds as though the Seido 3500 may well outlast my Mugen 3600. with my stock battery (1500mAh), my remaining capacity drops by an average of 5.5 to 6.5 percent per hour. With my Mugen 3600, it drops by about 3.5 percent per hour. That's not even double the 1500's capacity. However, my results are not scientific: I wouldn't be surprised if I use my 6800 more heavily when I know the Mugen will carry me through the day.
And I have two pieces of good news about hardware that works with the Mugen:
The Seido rubberized hard case for use with the Seido 3500mah batteyr will fit the Mugen...IF you remove the Mugen battery door. The Mugen door is worthless anyway; the latch won't latch.
The Mugen fits and charges perfectly in an aftermarket charger designed to charge an oversize 6800 battery outside of its case. I don't have photos handy, but the charger has three blue LEDs and charges at 450mA. I bought it on U.S. eBay for about $18 shipped.
Can you please post a link to the aftermarket charger?
is this meant to mean that the battery must be out of the phone to charge? I'm looking for a charger/cradle that will let me put the extended battery still IN the phone.
I've found a cradle, charges extra battery but not the mogul with the extended battery still in the phone.
I don't think having the battery out of the phone is useful if I need to use the phone as well or get a phone call.
external desktop charger....and a 3400mAh external battery
You're right, the battery must be OUT of the phone to be charged. I like this option because there are days when I forget to charge my 3600mAh battery and must use my stock 1500mah battery instead. With my DESKTOP CHARGER FOR HTC SPRINT MOGUL EXTENDED BATTERY (the words to the eBay link, which may now be expired), my 3600mAh battery can be charging while I'm using my 1500mAh.
The eBay listing was titled DESKTOP CHARGER FOR HTC SPRINT MOGUL EXTENDED BATTERY. The seller was perfectsell.
I just found another interesting option on eBay, titled NEW EXTERNAL EXTENDED BATTERY CHARGER FOR MOGUL 6800 . Sold by ebay seller nakedcellphone, it's a battery that connects to your 6800 via a USB cable. Personally, I'd find it awkward to use. I can see using it to charge my internal battery....but then, I'd rather just buy another battery.
In any event, Seido claims that its dock/cradle was specifically designed to accommodate a 6800 with a Seido 3500mAh battery installed.
3400mAh external battery
Aha: The 3400mAh battery is made by JavoEdge.
Anything bigger than 1650 in the STANDARD size got way too hot and was discontinued. 1650 is the biggest you will be able to find without going to the extended size with a custom backing.
NOOO SO GAY!!!
I wanted bigger then 1650 for standard size.. i was hoping for 1800mah or 1850 even... idgaf if it overheats... (thats what a charging cradle is for... that and one of 13 hardware mods... -kisses dremel- )

that seems kind of even more pointless than getting the extended battery since it makes it impossible to even put the phone in your pocket? lol...
i have a UTSTARCOM 2200mah, its not the biggest but it came from htc and im not even using it right now

Nevermind, apparently the cradle isn't even offered any more. Nice page, confusing AND misleading.
On the ebay site, they ONLY show pictures of iPhones, not really relevant nor is it anything new, it's a USB cable. THAT is what they consider an "extended" battery charger.
ROTFLMAO, do you work for the company or is it really as silly as it looks showing off an iPhone when the title on the page reads
NEW EXTERNAL EXTENDED BATTERY CHARGER FOR MOGUL 6800
Wait a second, may not even be an iPhone, definitely NOT a mogul.
Funny stuff, thanks for the laugh.
im gonna necro this as i cant find one of the Seidio battery. as anyone have an online store to sugest me ? Seidio themself are back order...
Got my replacement Vibrant in today (another brand new one - 3rd one)...
NOT HARDWARE LOCKED!
Was the first thing I checked when I put the battery in, and it went to Recovery first attempt XD
9/30/10 phone.
Are there any portable battery chargers for these Vibrant batteries? Since I have two extras I reckon it wouldn't be a bad idea to carry around a spare so I don't have to worry too much about conserving battery (can just switch quickly halfway through the day if needed).

Although most of these have two more batteries added to them and they are also from Hong Kong but with alot of good reviews.
I've never seen two batteries and a charger for $10. Hrm... I already have two extra batteries so I guess I may get one just for the charger. I don't trust those batteries, though...
Thanks!

i was about to ask for a third replacement too, but i ended up trying out the odin ji4 flash and it unlocked the hardware on my phone. Didn't have to go through with the replacement anymore.
I personally use this, but I don't carry around spare batteries.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-Portab...237198?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35ad07d08e
I use it along with a Mini to Micro adapter with a 6" or so cable.
I only really carry it when I plan on traveling. Battery gets low I jump start it with the portable.

Now can anyone tell me if they make a charging dock for just the battery. On my old Samsung Instinct it came with to batteries, there was a plastic case with a charging port you would put the battery in the case and then charge the 2nd battery through the plastic case while you were using the first battery iin your phone. do you guys know if they make anything simliar for our vibrants? im just tired of constantly having to be around an outlet all day. i dont believe in having a smartphone is you cant use its features. Im not going to turn off gps, wifi, screen brightness etc. whats the point i mine as well go back to 99 and buy a flip phone.

Kinda sucks though, since you already got your spare and this comes with an extra one.

i wonder if ebay has something like that. kinda hefty price (for just a charger in my case) whats a new OEM Battery go for?
Ebay has wall chargers. They usually come with a knockoff battery also. Even if you dont use the knockoff the bundle only costs like $10 so its worth it. I have 2 knockoffs/chargers and though they charge kind of slow the work great as do the batteries.
EDIT: Found one thats the charger only. http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-Charger...474841?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c17ce3759

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.
