I bought my HD2 used and the battery doesn't really get me through the whole school day, (8-4:30ish) even if I don't really do anything on it, it drains pretty quickly. I've conditioned it and everything, but I think the best things to do would be to buy a new battery.
I'd like to buy from eBay or a reputable online retailer.
Does anyone have any great stories with any batteries?
Make sure out have the apps Juice Defender Pro, Screebl, and SetCpu (with a profile to run the processor at the minimum when screen is off). With these, plus official extended battery, I get between 24 and 36 hours on my HD2.

yeh sorry,its e_cell lol,battery is around 50% better i'd say,just my opinion,it will vary cos different ppl use different roms & sd cards

I use Typhoon CM7 NAND Android on my HD2 and I get easily through 2.5-3 days with moderate use (WiFi included) - my avg stand by is 2-3mA but sometimes it even goes to 1mA (rarely but it does).
You shld get rid of wm if you have it and make your HD2 worth it!!!!
I bought a battery which shoul have 1600 mAh but so big like the normal HTC battery with 1230 mAh.
I didn't feel that I had more capacity, it didin't hold longer than with the normal one.
So i bought the original HTC HD2 Power Battery with 2400mAh and it was awesome. I could easy work with the phone for 2 days without loading and i make a lot with it.
The disadvantage of the Power Battery is that its nearly twice as big as with the normal, but i love it to work with the phone without looking on the battery percentage
If want long work time and size does not matter - original with 2400mAh. And no "chinese" batteries with increased capacity.
dot bother with the ecell battery its a waste of time

I'm not doubting that that's an excellent battery, but when you got the 0mA reading you appeared to be charging the phone and 2 days isn't really that hard to manage if you only use the phone moderately. Also don't forget that the ROM itself will have some effect on the results.
you can buy several backup batteries for emergency
Searched but could not find answer to this: is it worth the trouble (or is it even possible) to use the Defy + battery on a dead-stock, non-plus Defy? I found one thread mentioning a couple of "files" needed to be changed to make it work. Does that mean it can only be made to work on a modified rom? Thanks
You can use both of Defy and Defy+ battery with any Defy device. As I do.
There is no need any kind of files to get it work. It is possible that your ROM wont recognize the biggest performance. And when your battery get the last 1% it will stay there for hours without switch off.
There is a good solution to use third party battery monitor apps to get the right state of your battery status.
1.) Battery Monitor Widget Pro
or
2.) Battery Left app with Battery Indicator Pro app
I prefer ther first one.

Wow, really? I thought the Defy+ battery had different chemistry and didn't charge on standard Defys. There was a thread about it a few weeks ago.
How much longer do you find it lasts?

OK, so from what I've read (though there does seem to be some confusion) the Defy + battery works in the Defy, gives longer performance, but the Defy won't display the proper battery status without software alteration?
Thanks

hey all.
i am considering buying as new battery for my defy. the one i have is about a year and a bit old and batteries do tend to wear. i have come across a few on ebay that are higher capacity than original and am wondering if they will charge to full.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250992673...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_2295wt_1142
i have a defy red lense and am currently running cm7 kang by fuzz i think it is (great job mate by the way love it it is silky smooth). i am considering giving the cm9 rom a try out shortly so would also like it to work with that rom.
so will these charge up to their full capacity or will they not? if anyone knows before i take the plunge can they let me know please
thanks
I've got a 3500 capacity one it charges to 100% then runs down to 0% but then stays alive for an extra day I've got rid of battery icon just wish I can get rid of flashing red light and the warning on lockscreen. If your rooted you can get battery calabrator from market. It works but not for the massive batteries. Hope this helps
defy cm7
cheers mate exactly the answered i was looking for. will get one of those above then probably the 2400 one or whatever it is. that will do me i all i need is an extra 12 hours or so. i may even go and get one of the external batteries as well as a new internal battery as that would be good for all my usb devices. cheers again bud.
No worries glad I could help.
defy cm7
Does anyone think it is possible to create a custom battd.bin which supports the higher capacity? That would be really cool
Might be an idear!
I will have a think about it.

I would support that. I wonder what is required to change the battd file for larger batteries

Hi,
as I found, battery calibration doesn't solve this, even not on the smaller batteries. I use a 1700 mAh HF5X battery in Defy. Somehow it's recognized as 500 mAh, and not charged fully. I have the same issue: battery indicator stays on 1% for a long time.
I tried every fix and kernel I've found but nothing worked yet.
After checking, I think those batteries aren't so good (except perhaps the 3500 one) ... give a look at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828768
More, I checked other seller on ebay and everytime the same, whatever the seller : all the bad comments are about "high capacity" batteries ...
Good luck to find a good one
is this a good idea to put these battery on defy?
will this improve uptime?
any problem happen to phone?
anybody tested it yet?
please reply....

Also check negative feedback on eBay about capacity:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...=negative&interval=180&_trkparms=negative_180
- Volume of a real, 1400 +
- Fake! original ep500 1160 mAh working 6 h, this 2430mAh battery - 3h! WTF?
- 2430mAh are not correct;battery monitor gives 1435mAh;no differents with origina
Etcetera...
-------------
Bottom line: don't buy it.
thanks dude.... sorry for not searching the threrads before new post...
i m not gonna buy it..
I've got one and it seems to work better than the original battery. Haven't had any problems. Haven't been analysing though.

my friend bought one of these batteries for your defy and lasts only 3 hours
The only brand of extended battery really works is Andida , I had one in my old N78 lasted 1-2 hours more than the original
don't buy it
My cousin got this battery , apart from the inflated capacity , it battery also leaked fluid and became inflated :crying:
same size as bf5x/hf5x, significantly higher capacity, definitely a scam, may even be dangerous.
battery chemistry hasn't evolved that much in the past few years. there's a limit on the weight&volume/capacity ratio.
avoid it.
not that good
i bought it and it's 10% her half a hour :/
Third-party batteries often lack good protective circuits. They may die unexpectedly and/or kill your phone. Be wary!
There is also a possibility that those batteries don't get fully recognized by the defy and the batteries might not charge up to 100%
thanks for the warnings.
any idea where one could get a legit replacement battery?

But a battery with 1700+ does not exist right?
anyone try this ebay.com/itm/221285995275?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 battery..
I found a "2430mAh" gold battery on amazon.co.uk (also sold on ebay).
I bought one and just wanted to share that it is quite good.
If you're looking for a replacement battery, I'd suggest you buy this one. It's near 1500mAh in reality. Behaves just as when the phone (and battery) was new. I also bought a few much cheapers ones ~5-8$, but these are just a total rip-off. They're more like 500mAh.
PS: here's a review of this battery in another subforum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419930

im in search for a battery too. can u write the ones you tried and sucked so we can have a better understanding of situation and sellers
I bought 1 battery on DX. This one was ok, but really quite bad capacity.
The other one, bought on ebay, battery + charger. Battery leaked after 3 months! Capacity was ok though.
This gold battery, is even better than I thought, now I check out my phone. I can't really compare as my original battery currently really sucks and I think it's almost dead.

Can you see the temperature of the gold battery?
currently aftter beeing in my pocket for an hour in a warm room, its 31 degrees.
after using device for 10mins it's 37 degrees.
Its similar to the official battery.
Yes it is. But it's much cheaper I think. I contacted the shop, they contacted the official repair center and got a quote of 60€ for the battery. This one cost me only 15€ including shipping.
After a second day of testing, I'm very happy. After a full day of use (~18 hours), I still had 59% of battery. That including always on Sync and 3G data, using the phone, ...
Too bad I don't have an original new battery to test it. But my guess it's a ~1500-1700mAh.
