HD2 Replacement Battery

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)

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:
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

Secondary battery

Has anyone tried buying a non official battery for their MS2 and care to comment or recommend any? Im going on holiday to france and i know my phone wont last a whole day without charging, so I was thinking of buying a second battery.

I read in another forum that using a non-Motorola battery displays some kind of warning. I'd go with an original battery.

using a non-original battery could have detrimental effects on your phone. there was a discussion on this on the forum of another phone. using a non-original battery could lead to leaks and other problems which would eventually lead to the warranty of your phone being voided.
stick with original motorola products. yes the battery might be very underpowered, but its the safest bet to ensure the longevity of ur phone

With a non original battery, the battery indicator of your phone shows a interrogation symbol. Also, it does not charge with the phone charger.
Sorry my analphabet english xD
@Motorola Milestone 2

bp7x 2300mAh battery

I 'm using a non-original battery . The MOMAX and everything's good ,it feels just like the original one except for battery tempperature sensor. the temp is always 26 in celsius

I personally have used seidio for my milestone and it works like a charm, its the extended 2800mah one it really performs like it should and not like how a lot of people claim thats its way less than stock! It does not always read it correctly but a quick reboot fixes that, like 50% after reboot would usually be about 70-80%. They way i used to use my phone (light to moderate level) would last about 2-3 days but after the extended I got twice that and some more. Just make sure you get stuff from the original manufactures either way and don't go for deals at amazon or whatnot as those guys might be selling either defected or not proprely stored stuff. Batteries are critical components don't go cheap on them! And no, my phone has not been messed up or had any leaks or anything and I have this for about 3-4 months now. The original battery degraded in about 6months if you have to compare.

That sounds promising, does the battery need to be charged with an external charger? And does the milestone complain that you are not using the official bettery

reebooting your phone to get the exact picture also works on the standard battery. my question is, does the back part which houses the battery heat up when used? does the phone get hot during charging? do you need a new battery cover for it? and besides the longer usability, have you noticed any other performance issues on the phone?

Actually the rebooting to get the exact picture is not the same here, a jump to 20-30% on a stock battery? I don't think so. No I never encountered any odd behavior with the other battery. No getting extra hot during charge or use, get the typical little bit of heat while using 3G and browsing like mad but that would happen on the stock battery too. Battery cover for a 2800? of course, that stuff is huge! its protrudes like mad! a quick heads up though, the extended battery for the milestone 1 and 2 can use the same extended batteries. Don't know about the droid x though. Anyways, no performance issues, no heat while charging. The back covers supplied by these after market guys are not the best quality though so if you are someone who loves dropping phones and what not would recommed getting a spare back cover from the guys you get the batts from.

No, I use my original charger and no complains or warnings by the phone. Not on the milestone 1 at least. In fact some times i use my ipod's adapter so no big issue. And it charges at the same pace as the stock, additional 1 hour or whatever. restart the phone to getting a proper reading as it shows 100% but upon restart its 70-80% since only the stock level is charged. I hear this app called battery left does great for calibration.

ALSO a thing to note, I only know of Seidio and Mugen to be relialbe after market battery guys hence their hefty pricing at times. The others claiming to have bigger batteries have cheated people with stickers and what not and usually end up underperforming and degrading considerably faster than burning paper! I remember 1USD batteries for nokias back in the day good for a quick one time run i suppose but these 1USD guys are now selling them with a better branding for like 20-40 USD.
Anyways Sedio and Mugen have facebook profiles and keep people posted on the latest on devices usually there, although its kind of sad since seidio have not followed through promised products at times.

Cool but as I suggested try and get them off the manufactures themselves as I have noticed some people complaining when purchased via 3rd party retailers.
Also another bud of mine had picked up one for the Nexus one, that phones back cover is a full one unlike the moto's and he too can vouch for the products positive performance. Either ways also check out some reviews from amazon.com for peace of mind.

No complaints from the phone about it being the incorrect battery the battery has been charged within/by the phone no external charger required. I got the 1500mah version from mobilefun I doubt it will give much more performance but will see.

After my first day of use I got around 11 hours of use before reaching 5%. Here are the usage statistics at 15%
https://picasaweb.google.com/105351366297036719015/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCJna6ZH6hLKxzQE
Wifi was on most of the time, I was using my phone for the usual things. Occasionally checking socialfeeds, engadget, xda every hour or so and internet browsing I played 10 minutes of angry bids. Updated some apps and downloaded a few new ones.
Overall not a significant increase in battery life maybe an hour or so more from what I am used to.

[Q] New Battery

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

[Q] Battery drain, need help

My HTC Blackstone's battery never lasts more than a day. It overheats all the time, sometimes i charge it leave it overnight and it loses all its power and is unable to charge or turn on unless i remove the battery and put it back in.
Ive tried many roms and radios but still battery power never lasts more than a day even when i dont leave wifi on or run background apps, i use the lowest backlight
I think i need a new battery can anyone recommend links for a good battery, the best rom for power consumption and best radio rom as well.
i currently have a kwbr 5.7wwe rom and radio 1.17.25.09
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16705107#post16705107

Hi,
I use the same ROM & radio, and with the stock battery the device easily lasts a couple of days (depending on usage of course). So I'd also say your battery may need a replacement.
I'd go for an official/stock one.

the one that came with my phone is a 1350mah is a 1500mah better?
can you send me links of good batteries?
http://uk-batteries-galore.co.uk/in...tpl&page=shop.product_details&product_id=2381
is this good?

@Mickeystar
hi,
your problem is definatly your battery, trust me
ebay is probably your best bet for a new battery, but like gummbah30 said, its best to get an official/original battery.
("original/official anything" is always better than the cheep copied-crap )
when you get your new battery:
*PUT BATTERY IN DEVICE
*KEEP DEVICE OFF (do not turn device on!)
*CHARGE UNTILL FULL (green LED when done)
*DONE
#this is so the battery has a full charge before being used, in the past ive bought a new battery and turned the device on straight away - within minuates the battery was DEAD and totally unusable - a dud and a waste of money.
this is why i tell people to charge while device is off!

You'll find some interesting data in http://batteryuniversity.com/ about why your battery overheats and what happens with it. (It's related to a vendor, I don't know whom, but the info is very good for everyone)
I'm using a Cameron Sino on my Kaiser and it's running very well, but, as you've been told, it's better if you can obtain an original battery. My Blackstone battery also overheats when doing some full-CPU activities so I'll need a new battery soon.
I don't know what's inside the batts, I heard something about chips which communicate with the device, and thus, an original battery will have true info while others will send/receive different data. (But in this, I don't know if I'm mistaken)

i´ve got the problem (i think it is the battery), beacuse i charge my phone to 100% and i surf for about 5 minutes and then listen music and shuts down instantly, so i don´t know is this battery from ebay any good. It is the 3000mAh CE Extended Battery For HTC Touch HD/T8282 B17 (i can´t post outside link sorry)
thanks

* shuts off instantly (for no reason)
yup battery issue by the sounds of it, but like i said before its best if you buy a genuine htc blackstone/touch hd battery.
(its up to you if you buy an extended battery, personally id buy the standard genuine battery)
