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 Guys
My friend has a touch HD and recently bought a larger battery from ebay (an 1800mah) but its not one of the larger ones which requires a new expanded back plate for the phone. I was wondering if anything like this was available for the Jade, probably around the 15-1600 mah mark?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Jakai
DX have it:
http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27004
Sorry buddy that looks like the same ones off ebay to me, with the larger back plate (making the phone fat!)
I can't imagine the one I'm looking for being over 1800mah or so, due to size. What I'm really after is a more powerful battery but at the same dimensions as the current one.
Anyone else shed any light? To make it more difficult, ideally located in the UK
That is impossible. To get more power the battery needs to be bigger.

This same shop has a 1300Ma version, looks to be same form-factor
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23977
That looks exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Now just need to find a dealer in UK or something on ebay. Thanks for your help!
Larger Battery
Let us know when you find a source closer to Europe. I am interested too for a Touch Cruise!
I've bought one off of ebay for about £7 with free delivery from hong kong, with free delivery! not too shabby I'll let u know how it performs once its arrived.
Says in the review on that link that it doesnt last as well as the standard one
It was only cheap so I guess we'll see. The sheer fact that its higher capacity would suggest it will last longer.
I'm expecting delivery hopefully this week but probably mid next week.
I bough some 2500 mAh NiMh batteries off ebay, my charger measured the best ones at 500 mAh, some where only 350 mAh. With batteries, stick to known brands if you want the best performance.
As nicodbgh said, its impossible. The chemistry in a Li-Ion battery requires a certain amount of volume per Ah, this is not going to be improved on, not significantly anyway. New chemistry may come along that is better, but it won't be Li-Ion.
Battery arrived on saturday and I've put it in the phone. The battery looks identical to the standard HTC one (even has the same "HTC Innovation" text on the front) except that its 1300mah (opposed to the original 1100mah)
It took longer to charge (abut 6 hours) but its only the first cycle. I'll use it this week and see if I notice any jump in battery life.
Update
And the verdict is:
Absolutely rubbish! It takes much longer to charge than the standard battery and so far I haven't had more than 1.5 days of use out of it, thats maybe 10 minutes of calls and 5-10 texts, few mins of internet. I have push mail and data connection constantly turned on and usually get around 3 days out of the standard 1100mah.
Bit of a dissapointment as I would have liked extra life (an extra day) but it was only cheap and at least now we all know. I speak on behalf of the larger batteries with the extended back plate but my advice is stick with the original battery over the 1300mah one.
Hope this is helpful to others.

This is the problem with "no name" batteries. Perhaps it gets better after a few charging cycles.
Hi guys im pritty new here so bare with me lol.
Im looking for a larger capacity battery for me HTC HD2 as the one i got standard barely lasts a day which is pathetic, even after i disabled background connections, reduced backlight, turned of auto weather updates, changed rom etc...
so i found on ebay these three different batteries with bigger mah but crucially dont need a new cover on the back, cause i hate the official larger cap battery with kick stand. So i was wondering if anyone had tried any of these or which looks best:
1350Mah-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-1350-mAH-...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item5d2882f304
1600Mah-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1600mah-Batte...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories?hash=item35a7eb97e3
1500Mah-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1500mAh-Batte...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item3a5929d522
Thanks for any help and awesome forum guys
Check the accessories subforum, the battery discussions are there. The 1600mAh battery was measured equal to stock, others seem to be the same as well.
I think there was a much larger one with a swing out foot, I guess so you can watch long movies on it. http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/htc-hd2-extended-battery-gets-its-close-up-lower-price/
Basically, even 1600mAh batteries from Andida is near equal in performance to OEM Battery capacity.
There is an extended battery from HTC that has near double the capacity and a kickstand. it makes your phone thicker though.

Read what he said... he does not want that.
oh. I ended up reiterating your post...oops. needs to refresh before posting after idle.
OT here, anyway the fourth oem battery I bought off chinese dealers on ebay, all in all equal to original in the exterior, is at its second day of usage (put it in at 100% before going to bed the day before yesterday) and has 43% charge left. Used the phone normally, some manga reading, some browsing, some access to excel/database app, reminders/morning alarms, few calls... all in all, very good for a 3€ battery (costed me 6€ equivalent shipping included to buy a couple of them...)
allright thanks guys cheers for the help, i guess for this money you carnt complain lol
(And il try and post in the right section next time)
I know this has probably been brought up (the similar threads did not show the question), but i am probably going to need a new battery soon for my HD2 (US).
I am interested in an extended battery, but one that is the OEM size(no new backplate is a must), what is the biggest mAh out there for this? Searching the web and ebay all i could find is this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2430MAH-HIGH-CA...ccessories&hash=item2eb5fbb4fd#ht_2170wt_1139
Not sure if its just a gimick, or if it will fry my phone, or if its legit....anyone know of that one? Or any others.......I dont mind paying the extra $$$, i plan to keep my HD2 for a long time....
one that works with NAND Android is a must as well......Through my searching the above is the only one i could find that fits my wants/needs.....
thanks for the look
-W.Feather
one thing for sure ... dont purchase of ebay and thats not genuine as the mah is 2 large for the size of the battery id recommend buying a normal hd2 stock battery and keep one with you at all times that way you have 2 batterys,
i purchased apparently a (1600) mah of ebay which lasted same as stock battery and until i got an app called battery monitor widget pro it told me the battery is 1230 mah same as stock battery so unless your paying 30+ for over 2000mah with extended back i wouldnt bother as its a waste
you know i've seen a lot of people complain about ebay but as long as you follow some simple guide lines you should be fine, after all if it dont live up to its description you can return it for a full refund per ebay's rules. a seller must list it correctly or they have the chance to have negative feedback & returns. this is not to say that everyone on ebay sells ligit stuff though.
1st thing you should know is if it sounds to good to be true it "normally" is
2nd you should look at the feedback and see if other buyers have left positive feedback for the item you plan to buy
3rd test it as soon as you get it, especially if its a sd card or other easily faked item
4th & last thing you should know is dont expect 100% positive feedback means you'll get a genuine item. some people on ebay start with small stuff they can use to bump up they're feedback score & then start selling cheap/knock off stuff. this happened to me with a 16gb memory stick which had a memory hack showing it was 16gb but really it was only 7gb. ebay gave me a full refund and banned the seller.
if you follow these simple guide lines you should be ok. about the battery i agree LaneyEFC. i have 3 spare batteries that i keep on hand incase one dies im able to swap it out for a new charged 1. i bought all 3 batteries and a wallcharger off ebay for about $15 and couldn't be happier with my purchase. i had a extended battery with a kickstand that made my phone heavy & clunky. It also made it a little more difficult to text on then without. i hope this helps some.
i think this is the seller that i bought mine from.
I know the too good to be true thing mate thats why i asked to be sure.
As for 2 batteries, the reason i'm looking at a new one is, my current one does not hold a charge long enough(yes i have cleared battery stats and all the other tricks), so i'm looking for a replacement......i figure worst case i buy two OEM ones, but finding a higher mAh one in the OEM size would be optimal because i would rather have longer battery w/o swapping em out if possible

that also depends on the rom you use, i get 9/10 hours out off typhoon cm7 but also using the same rom i get 1 day 3 hours using the thread method in my signature and with MIUI i get 7 hours and get 16 hours using thread in signature hints

ATM using Pongsters CM7 rom, been thinking of swapping to a new one but no time for another week till my Calculus 3 Final is done...some interesting things in that thread, will have to take a look at it in depth later......
so still no "OEM Sized" batteries with higher mAh suggestions?

yea i know its not ideal to have to change the battery out but most days i dont even need to. if i do its just right there on the charger. it really all comes down to how i used my phone that day i guess. what would be ideal though is having a battery that lasted a long time like with my touch pro 2. man i could surf the web for house & it might have only dropped by 10%.
anyway like i said i did have an extended battery (2300mAh) but it did make the phone rather clunky & difficult to text on. i ended up just selling it to purchase the spare batteries instead. now im used to it, i just leave it on the charger & if i happen to need it swap it out real quick, longest part is waiting for the phone to boot up.
I've got the original extended battery I just use it all the time now it is clunky but I can play with my phone as and when I want and only ever need to charge at bed time
I don't mind it now and the kick stand is handy

I bought my HD2 used and the battery doesn't really get me through the whole school day, (8-4:30ish) even if I don't really do anything on it, it drains pretty quickly. I've conditioned it and everything, but I think the best things to do would be to buy a new battery.
I'd like to buy from eBay or a reputable online retailer.
Does anyone have any great stories with any batteries?
Make sure out have the apps Juice Defender Pro, Screebl, and SetCpu (with a profile to run the processor at the minimum when screen is off). With these, plus official extended battery, I get between 24 and 36 hours on my HD2.

I use Typhoon CM7 NAND Android on my HD2 and I get easily through 2.5-3 days with moderate use (WiFi included) - my avg stand by is 2-3mA but sometimes it even goes to 1mA (rarely but it does).
You shld get rid of wm if you have it and make your HD2 worth it!!!!
I bought a battery which shoul have 1600 mAh but so big like the normal HTC battery with 1230 mAh.
I didn't feel that I had more capacity, it didin't hold longer than with the normal one.
So i bought the original HTC HD2 Power Battery with 2400mAh and it was awesome. I could easy work with the phone for 2 days without loading and i make a lot with it.
The disadvantage of the Power Battery is that its nearly twice as big as with the normal, but i love it to work with the phone without looking on the battery percentage
If want long work time and size does not matter - original with 2400mAh. And no "chinese" batteries with increased capacity.

I'm not doubting that that's an excellent battery, but when you got the 0mA reading you appeared to be charging the phone and 2 days isn't really that hard to manage if you only use the phone moderately. Also don't forget that the ROM itself will have some effect on the results.
you can buy several backup batteries for emergency
Just want to inform those who are frustrated just like me about the battery draining problem with the limited hd2 stock battery. On average and moderate use with most roms it will die between 5 to 6 hours or even earlier no matter what setting you have. If you use the extended battery it will double up you battery power. However most extended batteries are ugly fat and requires a custom battery cover for which you have to sacrifice the many/all phone cases you would like to have on to protect you phone.
I have found this THIN and EXTENDED battery at ebay:
New 2300mAh High Capacity Battery For HTC HD2 T8585 LEO
Item number: 260840063860
I want to confirm that after several and full charging, it lasts me about 12-15 hours, and I am not kidding. You don't need to sacrifice your case or don't need an ugly fat battery cover since it is the same size of the original battery. Please note that there are few 2300 mah extended and thin battery of HD2 available on ebay. I tried couple of those and they both last well over 12 hours. If any of you are interested, you may want to consider. Hope this solves your battery drainage. It solved mine. Good Luck
smells very, very fishy
I don't know of ANY batteries that will pack 2300mAh in standard size battery.
Also check: http://batteryboss.org/ for any more info regarding 'false' capacity claims
Btw. read carefully in auction "capacity UP TO 2300mAh" lol, might be 1200 as well
12hrs is about what you get on a standard cell.
6hrs is what you get on a ****e rom/kernal or with a cheap china battery swollen like a rotton mellon.
2300mAh in a standard size battery is impossible using current Lithuim Ion technology.
Total bull**** & that linked battery will be 1100 maybe 1200 at best.
I have dealt with factories in China making this junk & as an engineer can 100% claim 2300mAh in standard size cell on Li Ion is not possible ...
With only 5 posts we have to be sceptical you are not selling your own cheap Chinese imitations?
In the past I have tested plenty of these cheap batteries on eBay. All of them are junk. You must be a very lucky person to find one that actually lasts longer... lol
Look at it this way do you really think cheap Chinese companies on the backstreet corner has the same resources as the mega corporations who would love nothing more than make their phones thinner/smaller and have better battery life?
Common sense.

Not only that, but technology used is already at limit(max power at certain density)
Take into consideration that Motorola atrix 4g has 1930 mAh and it is thin. So it is not impossible! I am not an engineer for that matter but the battery I got certainly doubled up the power...as I write my last charge was at 8:30am...now it is 6pm..I have 50% left after one hour of music, half an hour of navigation, few short phone calls, an hour of web browsing...checking facebook few times, few test messaging....two hours underground without service when the phone really drains out battery like diarrhea looking for service....my original battery would be dead by 3pm the latest....I have 50% left!!! And as I was saying Atrix has a thin battery so it is not impossible!!! OR I must have pure luck
AND another thing, I am not a seller!!!!!!

Mister B,
Do you think there is a manufacturer out there who can actually produce a new extended battery for our HD2 using new technology (like Huawei Honor's 1900+mah)? If only there is a DIY battery...
I am not an engineer and if you really are then I can tell you this... there is nothing impossible in tech world...and there is no limit. Many of the technology, hardware and software you see today, someone in the past thought are impossible. Making things possible is what we call science. I am not totally discounting the limit. But making an extended and effective thin battery is not impossible when everything getting thinner and lighter day by day...just like making a pocket size cell or smartphone in the era of brick-sized and shaped cell phone was considered impossible. Science and technology do not take things for granted...
I get 24 hours from my battery, with 3g on and bluetooth on, 1 hour of calls, some texts,2 hours of 3g browsing (lots of them reading xda), reading documents and a lot of emails..
So I think you had a bad battery and or you have wrong settings or you havea very intense and heavy usage..
With a cheap Chinese extended battery from ebay for 10 € I can easily get 48 hours..

I own this battery. It provides very similar performance to the stock battery. In addition, it was a bit too large for my HD2; I had to trim it to fit with an Exacto knife. I have the TMOUS model. It may be a little better, but not much.

I am not an engineer and if you really are then I can tell you this... there is nothing impossible in tech world...and there is no limit. Many of the technology, hardware and software you see today, someone in the past thought are impossible. Making things possible is what we call science. I am not totally discounting the limit. But making an extended and effective thin battery is not impossible when everything getting thinner and lighter day by day...just like making a pocket size cell or smartphone in the era of brick-sized and shaped cell phone was considered impossible. Science and technology do not take things for granted...

For 10>15 bucks it is impossible.
No cell manufacturer makes a cell of 2300mAh as small as HD2 standard battery.
Latest 1800 to 1900mAh batteries are thin but overall volume is larger & cells are constructed with absolute minimal framing & wrapping.
China has some great manufacturing but it also has world leading fraudulent copying & low quality goods with misleading specifications masked as high quality items.
Cell technology for small 2000mAh+ batteries will come but it is not available yet & certainly not first on eBay ...

Mister B,
Do you think there is a manufacturer out there who can actually produce a new extended battery for our HD2 using new technology (like Huawei Honor's 1900+mah)? If only there is a DIY battery...

Huawei Honor is a 3.7v Li-Polymer cell, the cell itself is quite large & test results seem power is around 1850mAh & up.
Li-polymer has lower power density than Li-ion & lower charge cyle count but it does allow very thin cell designs & minimal battery shell/wrapper & more form design options.
Li-Polymer is not new technology, Good progress is being made on improving power density of cells but it will be 2 to 5 years before you see big gain in retail products & it won't be on eBay first ;-)
it is kinda tight...mine lasts at time and half the original. Never have to worry about it dying if I don't have access to charger as I write this it has been off charger for 10 hrs and about 60% juice left. Lot of credit goes to the great Rom and kernel developers of this great site. I salute them!

It is funny that most replies are attacking China. China's manufacturing ability is real and well tested. That is why you will barely find any small or big corporation who does not rely on China. Now don't start calling me Chinese...lollll I am neither Chinese nor a seller!!!

The Chinese put out some quality material, including batteries. I think almost all of mine have been assembled there, although some will mention "Japanese cells".
Wow 24hr that's awesome. On HD2? If you don't mind which Rom?

US Brentronics buy cells from China for military use, unfortunately copy products & cheap tat for quick profit has damaged Chinas product reputation as a whole ...
The 2 largest cell suppliers are Japan & Korea but all the low cost Chinese batteries use Chinese made cells some of which are ok & some not as QC is low & production material grades vary drastically.China has amazing manufacturing abilities but also some amazing waste of human resources & materials to produce pollution & junk products with a life-span of maybe a week !
When buying from China do some product research first ...

Take into consideration that Motorola atrix 4g has 1930 mAh and it is thin. So it is not impossible! I am not an engineer for that matter but the battery I got certainly doubled up the power...as I write my last charge was at 8:30am...now it is 6pm..I have 50% left after one hour of music, half an hour of navigation, few short phone calls, an hour of web browsing...checking facebook few times, few test messaging....two hours underground without service when the phone really drains out battery like diarrhea looking for service....my original battery would be dead by 3pm the latest....I have 50% left!!! And as I was saying Atrix has a thin battery so it is not impossible!!! OR I must have pure luck
AND another thing, I am not a seller!!!!!!

I have a almost 2 year old T-mobile HD2 and I can tell you that my standard battery will easily last me 12 hours when I use my phone to listen to MP3 or FM radio. Normal use for me will easily net 2 days with standard outlook settings, yahoo settings, and a few phone calls along with text mesages.
1 standard battery will give me about 4 hours of video before it croaks... and that is with bitrates upto and including 2mbps.....

The problem is not with the Chinese ability to manufacture quality items, it is with their preferred route of as cheap as possible with no to little quality. They have chosen to be the kings of disposable merchandise.....
My HD2 was made in China and that phone has been nothing short of spectacular......
