Firstly, i am tired of you double posting all your question, second, there are lots of solutions, and i have no idea why it takes 4 hours for you to get full charge, it only takes less then 2 hours for me, and how often do you charge your device? if you are a power user, then when do you use your device most often? you see, when i am home or in the office or in the car, i always plug the Athena for charge, can you not do the same? most of us here don't wait for the battery to get fully drain then start charging.
There is no external battery charger right now, (unless you buy another Athena and use that for charging....haha). They will be an official Athena dock which support spare battery charging, GPS for Less site is also offering another Dock which has the same function. However they are both not out yet.
Meanwhile, if you really want to get more battery, you can always buy external charging device which provide battery to your Athena. So if you are in the tube or anytime not using your Athena, you can plug it into the external battery device and charge it all the time. This way you will last longer before your battery fully drain.
Hope this helps, and please don't double post again.

As I know only 2-3 first charges for Li-Ion batteries are critical, those called as "battery training". You should fully discarge and then fully charge 2-3 times for a new battery. After that it doesn't really matter if you charge battery that is not fully discharged. Li-Ion batteries doesn't have a memory effect. Yes, they have limmited number of charge cycles, usially 500-700. In normal use it is good for 1-1.5 years.
So don't worry, charging you battery in a car or at work will not kill it.
Also you can consider external USB batteries like this:
http://www.tangshop.com/universal-external-battery-powerbox.html
those batteries are very handy if you flying often.

firstly, we haven't get you wrong, we understand you completely, and no, you will not hurt your battery by charging it all the time, beside, an extra battery does not cost that much as well.
Second, I have already told you clear, there are no external charger for Athena, and for the web link of HTC and GPS FOR LESS dock, please take your own time and google it, it will only take you 2 mins.
Actually, you could find your answer by searching on net, what's what we do here, and it's not our duty to spend this 2 mins to search for you while you can do it yourself, so don't be lazy and start searching!

I second that.
We are all here to help each other, but if you come here with a bad attitude, we will not help you.
Now you can 'bark' for me, whatever that means....

wow, I believe moderators shall stop such posts and lock out people like "emilnaeri"

Isn't there a thread about this already? Started by the SAME person no less... Yipes, and there I was trying to be helpful.. apparently not good enough for this apparently "I'm the center of the world. Look at me I'm yelling all the time in a panic because I think I have a problem."
Clearly, mate, calm down two notches and read through this forum. There are not that many topics about Athena, and most of the trivial things have been covered already.

Check out this link. I bought two to test then bought four more for cars laptops and my travel bag. If you use thier penquin AC/DC charger I get a full charge in under two hours.
http://pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~...2Dn%2Dcharge+cables~item~USB%2DLSPDUO001X.htm
I have also noticed that the battery indicator gets stuck sometimes. If I disconnect the charger then wiat a bit and shut the unit off then on it will register correctly.
The issue with charging off the laptop is that Activesync keeps the device on. When the device is on it switches to high speed mode then it takes MUCH longer to charge.

I'm glad I found this post. I noticed this with the device that the battery indicater stays orange (amber ..whatever). I have to continue to check it. After an hour or two...depending on when i started....it will stay amber. If I unplug it and navigate to the Power screen, it will jump to 100%.
Can I fix this? Second, does the advantage only register battery percentage in 10's? i.e. 10% 20% 30%
I did search the forum...but couldnt locate a relative answer to these.
Thanks in advance!

When it is fully charged, it will turn to green.
Affirmative to your second question. It register in 10% increments, AFAIK.

If your battery is bad and you try to re-flash, you will brick your device (since it will probably stop flashing about half way through - happened to me with my Wizard). Your best bet is to get a new battery... they are rather cheap either on eBay or Amazon...
From your message, everything points to a bad battery...
Good luck!

Thanks for replying
Hey
what do u think the probable problem due to which the battery got BAD?
i am using it from 1.5 years and this problem occured after that BATTERY DRAIN while i was using S2U2 2.33!
so what would be the problem as i mostly have to charge my battery from 60% twice a day so charging many times would be a problem
What do u suggest due to my big usage? Should i buy a extended BATTERY
But i want to tell u that i will take a extended battery if it fits only in the original case i dont want to buy a new case
So tell me the best option to get it also could u send me a link to buy it
it would be great thanks in advance!!!!

It could be that the battery just died on the spot... I don't believe (or at least have never heard of such an issue, let alone related to S2U2. The fact that you've had this for 1.5 years suggests that you bought it used, which means that the battery might be much older than that.
An extended battery will not fit with the original back cover. I believe that there was one (1500 mAh, I think), that it is supposed to fit, but I am not sure.
Just buy a stock battery and you will be in good shape.

hey i took a new battery still the problem occurs
It twice charged till 100% now does not charge above 70%

Same problem here
I am using Blackstone with official ROM. Its a new one. Less than one week old. Its battery is not getting charge more than 55%. Why so? I kept it on charger for one FULL night. But still its not charging above 55%. Please give me a solution for that.

Plz help

Don't double post. Also, you are in the wrong section. This is for Vogue (HTC Touch and not Touch HD). You should head over to the Blackstone section and see if someone can help there.

It probably has nothing to do, but what is the output of the charger that you are using? Also, 70% is enough (specially if it is a new battery) to flash a rom. Flash the device to something else and see if that solves the problem.

hey thanks for replying
I got the charger which i go from TELUS & by the way i took the phone new from TELUS and its now 1.5 yrs i took a new battery as u said but still the problem occurs my new battery charged to 100% twice but now it does not chage above 70%

I AM USING NFS FAN V17

Anything really, even flash the same one you have if you want to. Just make sure that your battery is charged as much as possible. If I am correct (and I think I am), it is a problem with the battery meter in WM, and flashing will tell WM that whatever your battery level is at that point will represent 100%. Give it a go and remember to back up your stuff before doing this. Good luck!

did the same but i think the problem is wid charger
coz the battery charges with the USB connected with computer
but the orange light comes when connected with charger but battery does not charge
but if the problem is wid charger then i dont think that the battery should charge in mobile off condition???

Try a different charger then. The battery will not charge if the device is off.

Extended battery may not be supported in the kernel level. You would think this is a hardware issue, but the OS needs to know how to manage power; hence, if it can't properly read the extended capacity it won't know how to charge it. This is my understanding, though. The same problem exists for Android roms.
I was surprised to see the extended battery to work, but doesn't charge. The only solution is to charge the extended battery on a charging bay while you use the regular battery during the night. Then, change the battery back to the extended battery when it's complete. Charging bays are cheap anyway, and handy thing to have for situations when you could use both batteries.
We can dream for a fix from DFT

I also have this problem with my extended battery. I wouldnt mind except you cant even charge the battery while the phone is off meaning its useless until I can get a charging bay.

I was just about to get a 2600mah extended battery for my Leo because of high drainage from Android and WP7. Good thing I saw this post. I'll wait for this to hopefully be fixed.

The same problem of battery(drum kit) as you, no solution!!!!!

So let me get this straight.
1) Extended Battery won't charge through the phone but will through a charging bay.
2) When EB is in the phone it will be used as normal with the extra capacity.
Yes/No?

Is original from HTC?
Thanks

I have been using the NON-HTC extended battery from ebay. It works, charges and lasts. I would think the HTC EB may not work because of the need for specific drivers that are not present in WP7 kernel.

Can I use an extended battery?

Hi,
I've installed WP7 from Yuki/XboxMod but is it possible to use this battery:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/2600ma...tery-battery-cover-case-for-htc-leo-hd2-91228
The biggest one?
Or is it better to buy this 2 pack?:

I need to buy a new one because I can't do one day with it..
I've heard that some rom's does not work with it.
Greetz,
Kevin

I bought similar extended battery, but failed to gain any significant increase in battery life. I am using Xbmod/Yuki BTTF ROM. Even if I charge with external charger, the phone doesn't seem to recognise the extra capacity.

you can use the bigger battey and use an external charger, that will give you a full charge, to use it you just pop the battery out and restart the device when it reports low, that usually works at least it does for mine anyway
course if you got an cradle with external charger then you can buy a couple of batteries an keep some spare

HTC Extended Battery
Hi guys,
I'm planing to install WP7 on my HD2 but I don't know if the original HTC extended battery is supported once I intalled WP7 on it.
I see that you were talking about some others extended batteries but the one made by HTC self. Is it supported?
Thanks in advance

I have the genuine HTC HD2 EXTENDED BATTERY, BA E400 2300MAH myself, and use it in substitution with regular battery...
Yes it'll work but your battery status readings will be incorrect i.e. the charge status bar in top right corner. However, the battery will last about twice as long as the stock one, but your batt status would be on low for that matter or as the guy in post somewhere above suggests, you can restart the phone when the indicator is low and get back accurate batt. level reading.
With that being said, EVEN THE GENUINE BATTERY WON'T CHARGE WHEN IT'S IN USE/IN THE PHONE. You're going to need external charger or charge it in Android (dual boot).
Good Luck!

Re : the 2 pack deal with external charger
aM i right in saying they cannot be charged when in use??
Would this have any repercussions with the genuine battery? Ie charging when in use?
