Has anyone used / reviewed the extended battery from expansys-usa?
Its relatively cheap compared to other battery + cases, so wondering if this one actually provides a full 2600mah.

There's a thread in the accessories section discussing it. Mugen has one coming out too. I love the idea of never worrying about battery life, but OMG does that make the phone look ugly. I got a Sparc and some extra batteries to accomplish the same thing without defiling my phone.
Thanks I will check it out!

Hi guys, long time lurker first time posting.
I have the Droid Eris and just picked up the Imagio today to see which I like best.
I noticed when pulling the cover off the imagio the plug/adapter and battery all looked very familiar. After further review it is in fact the EXACT same battery that HTC puts into the Droid Eris. I happened to order a Innocell Extended battery from Seidio. I pushed it in and it worked like a champ!
I cant post links yet but the product information is:
Product Code: BASI17HHRV
Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery
Under HTC Eris on their webpage.
www . seidioonline . com
Hope this helps some of you!
Link?
Is this what you were looking at? I hope so, I'd love to be able to get more battery life out of my phone!

I really don't mean this in the negative way it will sound, but...
The stock battery is 1500mah & replacing it with a 1750mah battery isn't worth thinking about less you have destroyed your stock lipo entirely & can not have it replaced (which verizon & HTC do)

I had it around from my Eris, and I do notice a longer battery life out of the 1750. I especially need it as my apartment is like norad and I dont have much signal there, so it hops in and out of signal range, putting a drain on my battery.
Anyone tried this on DHD?
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/mugen-htc-desire-hd-battery-extended-battery-1800mah-p26775.htm
I've seen a few comments on other types of phones and was wondering if they are similar for DHD.
1300mAh is a waste of time imo. If we get anything around 1500mAh upwards I might be interested.

I noticed there was an 1800mAh which was discontinued but I don't know the reason. It sounds suspicious though. Also, higher mAh would mean larger battery and will require to change the battery cover.

I doubt they can fit a bigger battery in due to the alu case but I notice that the DHD battery feels very light which makes me feel there is room for a bit more capacity even within the same physical space.
Look for the Mugen thread in the accessories section ......

I noticed on one website that they are trialing new batteries with bugs that reproduce themselves (harmless) they can double or more a battery of the same size with these microscopic bugs on the cells.maybe be some time before they come out as they are trialing them in the universitys first,one thing about smartphones is that the phnes have come on leaps but the battery's have lagged behind somewhat.

Hey guys
I'm getting my Desire Z at the end of this week, and was wondering about the battery life. After browsing various threads, it seems you can somewhat sort it out by tweaking it. I'd rather not do that, as I'm not that advanced.
I was thinking after seeing how I fare with the Desire Z, getting an extended battery like the Mugen Power 1800mAh Extended battery $44.95. I wouldn't want one that needs to make the phone any bigger than it is.
Also I'm not totally savvy on the prices, but is that a decent price for a battery like that?
Any advice would be extremely appreciated, thanks!
(PS, it would need to be compatible with my UK charger, not sure if that changes anything)

It has the same size with the stock battery unless you'll buy the 3600 mAh, performance?? Ill give 10/10. Its worth the price and worth the wait, I never seen anyone who had a complaint about their mugen battery my stock batt runs for 7hours per full charge light-moderate use now my mugen last 11-16hours light-moderate use. It doubles my stock battery life span so here's my Mugen 1800 mAh review.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Agreed...
I too have been looking at a better battery and also heard that atleast for the g2, that the evo 4g battery may also work and on amazon they had 2 batts and charger for 40 bucks but you should look and read in the g2/desire accessories forum first.

No need to create a new thread when there are already THREE open threads in accessories that discuss everything you could possible want to know about the G2/Desire Z and battery consumption:

Would someone give me a suggestion of buying extended battery for the PLAY? I found an information of 3600mAH Mugen Power battery quite impressive but it come about double size in thickness compare to the stock one that scare the **** out of me. I wish not to make my phone anymore bulky as it already is My $$ would go for kinda 2000～2200mAH extended battery with a same dimension of the stock one.
There is always the 1800mah version.. havent seen any other
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...xperia-x1-1800mah-extra-eros-akkumulator.html
Yeah, I think it is the only availability now.
I have a Galaxy S Vibrant and bought one of those 3500 maH batteries. Yes it makes it thicker and heavier, but to me it is definitely worth it considering it extended my battery time 2 - 2.5x. I get more than a full day out of the phone. It's a tradeoff you have to decide what it's worth. Of course, you could just buy a second battery and swap them out when it get's low...

Since my original battery defected, i had to look for an replacement and found on ebay, chinese manifacturer called Gold that makes significantly higher capacity batteries in the same size as the original ones.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=gold+battery+s4&_sop=12
they advertise them at 3300mah (the original one is 2600, so that's about 25% more in the same dimensions)
naturally i find it hard to believe, so if anyone has tested any of those please enlighten me

I wouldn't buy any generic battery without any indication of Quality Control. Battery could easily overheat and cause equipment damage.
yeah well, the QC passed one got fat on the second month
brand doesn't mean much to me anymore, in the end most of the stuff is made on the same place
just the brand stuff is 10x the price, but never 10x the quality
anyway, i'm not asking for general advice on how to live and what to do, but specific question about this kind of battery
These "gold" batteries are worse than a gold iPhone.
Jokes aside, don't ever buy these. Ever. No quality control and super fake mah labels. My backup second-hand Galaxy S came with a 2640mah gold battery. The size is same as the original... lasts even less.
I don't remember maybe someone her will. There's a 3000mah battery for the gs4 that's the same size just no NFC. May be zerolemon unsure.

This brand of batteries are a fake. Do a search in XDA on them and you will find all the reviews u need.

ah i see, thank you for the info then guys.
Unfortunately i have ordered one already.
But would like to buy a "legit" one as well.
Which ones you guys can recommend other than the original one of course? (it's $65+ here)
don't buy it... it's that simple
I kinda got that, now i'm just asking for advice what to buy

I got a couple of Anker batteries, charger included for £19.99, they seem pretty good to me.

I'm quite happy with this purchase, especially considering the price.
Polarcell has a 2900 mAh battery with NFC. I am considering buying one, had one in my I9000 and was very very pleased with its performance.

just get the original battery. I think samsung is packaging it with its own battery charger as well.
Anyway, I am not the type whom like to snap off the case to change a battery, i would stick to portable charger or case battery which is more convenient.
