Larger capacity battery from HTC

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:

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

Real capacity data for various Galaxy S II Batteries

When I was a Sensation user, this thread turned out to be one that other people found useful:
Real capacity data for various Sensation / EVO 3D batteries
If you don't want to hit up the link, here's a summary:
I ordered about a dozen batteries, under $10 each, and tested them on a real discharge meter.
I posted the ACTUAL figures for mAh.
I graphed "claimed vs measured" capacity, as well as "mAh per $"
Now that I've jumped to the Galaxy SII as my regular phone, if this kind of testing would be of value to other people, I'll do the same for my new phone and post the shootout in a thread here!
If you dig this project, then you can request a cell!
I have the Galaxy S II HD LTE (it's the I757, which seems to be a Canada-specific model), so I'll need to know whether I can just order regular Galaxy S II cells? Anyone know?
Any battery requests? They must be under $10 shipped (to Canada). Under $5 is even better, as it means I'll be able to test more cells.

Could you please test the anker 1900mah batteries?
They seem to last a little worse than stock for me

Thoughts... Phone (not Rom) with best Battery life!!

My bosses are due for an upgrade and i have been reading everything under the sun about which smartphone has the best battery life... problem is, every website has different results if any on battery life. I realize that big screens and quad-core are all the buzz, but the HTC inspire that one of my bosses has, is a battery hog. We have tried everything to get more life out of the phone, new batteries, multiple batteries and nothing seems to help. The one with the HTC is a power user. Texting and calling around the clock. I would like to get him another HTC with the same screen size because he is used to it. Any ideas/websites would be appreciated. I have read too many reviews and battery life seems to be an afterthought with most reviewers. I like to see test results and comparasions on battery life but so far i have not seen any good ones.
thanks in advance!

I'd recommend looking for a phone where and extended battery is an option - or having multiple batteries to switch in and out (or, following that, multiple extended batteries to switch in and out).
I don't think any phone out there really has abnormally good battery life - if you're a power user you need to find another solution like an extended battery or power pack or something.
I've gone with multiple stock-size batteries for myself. I feel like it's reasonable for the device to not last all day - there's a lot to power there so I don't mind the one minute or so that it takes to exchange for a fresh battery - and the spent one can charge while the next one is being used so that you don't even need to plug the phone itself into a wall.

The Samsung Galaxy Note II has been getting very good feedback from a battery life standpoint.

Looking for a phone that has a battery that has the biggest Ah spec is a good starting point. Also, most android phone reviews include a battery test, but you should only compare reviews of different phones on the same site, as each site probably uses a different testing method to see how long the battery lasts. I don't know if there are any phones that have a lithium-polymer battery instead of a lithium-ion, but li-po batteries have higher energy densities (that should reflect itself in the Ah spec).

GSMArena has set up their own standard for testing battery life. For the average they include 1h of calling, browsing and video playback (all separate and the rest of the time is on standby) if I remember correctly, that way they get fair testing conditions for different phones (some are better for browsing, some for calling, diffrent platforms etc). They also include battery life for browsing, video and some other activities seperately. To me their tests are quite nicely standardized and thought through.
Searching from the biggest capacities is also a great idea, GSMArena has a new search field, which lets you to search according to battery capacity.
I'm not totally sure if they have a certain page for maintaining their battery test or if they have them somewhere on the phones info page, but I would start looking for them through the search or from the blog part of their webpage!
Best of luck!

Thanks for the replies i appreciate them.
I will check out GSMArena

No problem. Glad I could help! Only thing that I would like to find are the overall rankings of their endurance test result. AFAIK it doesnt't excist, but hopefully Iäm just blind
Also sent them a letter that it would be good for something like that to excist, but haven't gotten an answer so far, doubt I'll get one.

Just get a Samsung Galaxy SIII with a ZeroLemon 7,000mAh battery for 3 days of use. They're out of stock on Amazon atm, but they should be getting some in stock soon they told me. For any phone your boss gets, go for a Gorilla gadgets extended battery.

Some years ago, phones used to have a battery life that lasted days even when under heavy text and calling activity. Nowadays, those little devices have been increasing their capabilities beyond the advances in battery technology.
I don't choose my phones thinking on battery life, I'm ready with USB cables and charges at home, my car and soon enough on my bike!

The phone with the best battery life is the Motorola RAZR MAXX (on ICS or later) by a long shot. It beats all the competitors by far.
The Motorola RAZR MAXX has old specifications, but it's not too bad. It's still better than my iPhone 4s; and you could argue the iPhone 5 too. The Motorola will still handle all your daily tasks no problem.
Here is a battery test on the RAZR MAXX: http://blog.gsmarena.com/motorola-razr-maxx-battery-life-is-complete-makes-chargers-feel-lonely/

[Q] Review for generic 7600mah extended battery for Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Hello there,
I recently bought an generic 7600mah extended battery for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from a website. As you can see, this particular battery is made in China. I am wondering if whoever here has bought this one also or do you have any opinions or comments about this battery. Did the battery satisfied your needs or meet your expectations? How was it? I have attached images of the said battery, kindly check it out. Thank you so much for your comments and time.
P.S.
I peeled off its sticker cover and found out there is a label on the battery case that says 3600mah. I also checked it out on my phone's battery monitor app and it has a reading of 3600mah. I asked the seller about this and he told me that the battery monitor app can only read batteries in a maximum of 3600mah. He also uses this battery also and he told me that it surpasses his expectations. Any thoughts about this?
He also told me for the first 3 times, I must let the battery fully-drained and fully-charged it without answering or making calls so that it could correctly calibrate itself.

You, sir, have been fooled...

Has someone tried this batteries?

I've looking around for a compatible LiPo battery and i found this:
https://www.batteryupgrade.es/shopB...hopGroupId=31094483&tracker=googleProducts_es
Can someone give a real experience about using a LiPo battery in our devices?
Edit: The main thing about this is, Is there really a Li-Po option to our phones? it would be great

For not opening other post, does someone know where to find genuine batteries? Ebay and amazon are full of chinese copies and used crap sold as new

I don't know where to find genuine ones but i have bought 2 service genuine but they didn't last long it used to be.
Than i bought not promised one, it was far better than this 2 batteries.
I can recommend a brand, NFE² or Polarcell
here is a link. I have Never used it, but it seems a good one. (sorry, for being new user, i can't share link in a post)
Polarcell Lithium Polymer Battery 2700mAh for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ==>> Search for it akkushop-online/de and cellephone/de

In my opinion you should go for something more expensive or better-known custom battery. Since the construction is nearly 5 years old, the brand new original batteries will be also at least around 3-4 yrs old, thus, they won't have the original capacity, etc. You'll only have problems with battery life. And also there's a post around here on xda, where somebody put an original Samsung Galaxy S9 or S8 battery into the Z3c. Hope helped a bit
