I am tempted by the extended battery as they can be found for about £30 now but it has been a while since I read anything about kernel support for the extended batteries. Anyone know which (if any) support extended batteries? Would be great if experience is first hand but that may be difficult to find...
Thanks for the help
Also once I have the info will create a list of ones in this post as a record.
This is basically what I came on here to ask as well - just installed the Hyperdroid NAND build, first time installing a NAND build. I'm using 2600mah battery and I'm not sure if this is supported with this build or not. All I really want is a fast stable build that supports my 2600mah battery. Any help is appreceated
I think it will be support with all ROM have Tytung kernel
Yep tytung R11 has support for the official extended battery, this makes it a good day
Its in the first few lines of the first post, I thought if any that would be the one.

Ext battery support is built into the kernel. A lot of builds are using the kernels with Ext battery support but not all. If you read the kernel threads you can find out which kernels have support and which don't.
Once you know this you can see which kernel is on each build and work out which have support and which don't. For example any builds that use michyprimas r11 have Ext support
Hope this helps and not confuses

Do all other batteries other than OEM rated consider the ext Battery? For example, the Mugen 1300mah.

Unless its a stock battery you run the risk of Android not booting up. Unless of course your kernel is made for extended batteries. Its not necessarily the extended part, but the voltage and temperature readings. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.
Would be helpful if we had a list of kernals which support extended batteries so I'll start off.
hastarin 7.7+ seems to support extended batteries but not 8.x according to this post/thread.

I just got the official extended battery. Checked it with TBattery and it it coming up as a little over 2300 mAhs -- down 20% in over 3 hours.
Using:
Stock 3.14 Rom with 2.14 radio
Bangster 1.5
Hastrian 7.7 Kernal.
I was wondering if anyone had a fix or what battery life times you're getting from the extended.
I´m buying an extended battery too, and trying to find an Android rom suitable for it. Seems like we have to use hastarin 7.7 or michyprima´s r11 kernels, latest hastarin´s doesn´t give support to extended batteries (yet). That´s what I found so far. I´m looking for a good (and not so old) combo.
i have the 2300 mah battery and try to find desire rom
i cant fint a close to stock desire rom to work with extended 2300 battery....
Please post whatever info you learn here. I'll hopefully have my new-2-me Telstra HD2 with the extended battery in my hands by the end of the week. Picking an Android build will be one of the first things I do with it!
A little help please. Currently running darkstone froyo with michyprimas kernal. Everything's fine but a little dated.
After a more current build with a stable kernal for extended battery. Everything i've tried either crashes or reboots due to battery.
Could somebody please point me in direction of a current build/kernal that works with extended battery.
Happy to frig about with wifi drivers etc but found searching was getting cluttered results and as it takes an hour to download, build and test each time hoped somebody would be kind enough to offer a workable solution.
If i stumble across any info will share!.
Thanks

I´m waiting for my extended battery I´ve just bought in Ebay, doing a little investigation of which kernel should work with this type of battery, found that there are at least two known kernels that support: hastarin 7.7 and michyprima r11. I´ve downloaded these three for testing:

It's usually the kernel not the build itself that support/doesn't support extended battery. You should read the change log for the kernels to see if extended battery support has been added. So before you change your builds, take a look at the changelogs for the kernels to make sure your extended battery is supported
I bought an extended life battery at 2600 mah for the HD2 running darkstone's superram 1.5. This is almost twice the normal battery size yet my battery life seems to be the same. Is their a problem with the battery or should Android be somehow programmed to recognize it?
me too, im using typhoon cm7
Have you checked to see if the included kernel supports extended batteries, official or unofficial???

No that was my point, some kernels will support unofficial batteries but not official. Something from arne should work, I know he has made some 2600 supported kernels.
You can also try the newest rafpigna or tytung kernels. They also have the eb fix with them, credits go to arne.
I understand that there is no firmware to support the official extended life battery?

I respond to you now whilst using the official extended battery, just ticked over 11 hours since charge with light to medium usage including calls YouTube, here, several apps games, 74% left, you sir I challenge to a dual about your understanding!!!!!!
i have a hd2 which was on WM6.5, i installed the nand version of android and found it was eating up the battery a fair bit. i bought a extended original battery from ebay and found it kept on rebooting my phone straight away, the seller sent me another one and it done the same!! i tried the standard battery and all was fine, i then tried a extended battery from china that worked really good.
is there any reason why the original htc extended batteries wont work unless both are faulty?
any help would be great,,,, many thanks
Maybe you will have a look on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898818.
You just need to use a kernel which supports extended batteries.
The tytung kernels posted in the following link support it.

many thanks to you both for all your help, i thought i was something i had done or had a faulty HD2. i will go and try the modified kernells, many thanks, dave.
