Looking for extended life battery - G2 and Desire Z General

Any recommendations? Mine's almost 2 years old and its showing, having trouble making it through the day. Not interested inhaving to deal with a spare! I know there are a lot of these threads, but just wanted to make my own. I intend to buy one and then report my progress with it. I heard those EVO chichitech batteries were good but didn't fit well?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using xda premium

I use the the Mugen Power 3600mAh. The battery lasts long, how long I don't know exactly. I usually charge the phone every other day.
My guess is that 4 days would be OK before charging. I use a lot of 3G and wireless for surfing the Internet. Email, calendar of course.
The battery cover is made of rather cheap plastic and I was worried the hinges would break of as they did on my previous battery which was some other manufacturer (2700mAh?). This hasn't happened, seems like the cover is sturdy enough but could be made of much better material considering the price.
I recommend this battery.

Thanks! Anyone have a recommendation for one that fits in the stock battery door?

I recommend the HTC OEM EVO 4G Design battery, It fits perfect in our devices w/o any modifying or trimming. It's a whopping 1520mah compared to the 1300mah that comes with stock devices !

Trade Mogul for Touch

Well after having my mogul for a year with only minor problems, it seems that it has finally gone somewhat haywire. The battery barley lasts half a day, my buttons seem to have stopped fuctioning, and I am getting tired of the limited free RAM. So I have decided to switch to the htc touch because it is not a necesity for me to have wi fi or a keyboard. Only thing I am going to truly miss is the flash on the camera, it was such a great flashlight. But anyway, does anyone know if it is possible for me to trade my mogul for a touch, instead of a new mogul, I have the Total Equipment Protection plan, and the price of the touch is considerably lower than the mogul (the price of the touch was recently changed to 99$ after instant savings and rebates). So does anyone know if it is possible to do so.
Thanks
BTW I am on Sprint.
Why not wait until the Diamond comes out? Much much better device.
I know that the diamond is better, but I really can not wait for it because the battery life has recently become so bad that I need to get it replaced. Honestly up until my batter stopped lasting a full day I was ok with the mogul, but now I really either need to get the battery back to normal, or switch to the touch. Any ideas would be helpful. The battery life change may have been caused by my completley killing the battery and fully chargin it twice, or my installation of pointui home.
I can't help you with the swap, but if it's the battery that's the issue...Ebay!
I agree, just get a new battery. I got the 1650mah OEM-size battery after using a year old stock battery, and noticed a huge difference.
I doubt Sprint would let you swap for free, so if given the choice of buying a Touch or waiting for the Diamond/Touch Pro, I would definitely wait.
about how much does it cost to get a larger capacity battery that does not make the device bigger?
Dude honestly, there are so many awesome phones coming out so soon and you don't want to end up getting a new phone that's already outdated. I say wait and just buy a new battery for now. That's how I feel right now.
check out www.seidioonline.com and select the 1650 mah battery, it's the same size as the stock one so it fits under the factory cover. Mugen puts out a stock sized 1800 mah battery and that's about 49.99.
I agree with everyone else - if it's the battery just get a new one and then the Diamond when it releases if you need a new phone.
Good Luck

I decided not to get a high capacity battery because I keep my phone in my pocket. The bulge from the hi capacity would just look awkward. So I chose to buy an external battery charger and a spare battery.
This is exactly what I bought. I love it! It comes with a spare battery for under $20 shipped. Later on, if you decide you want another battery to add to the mix, then it shouldn't be a problem. I have two of these set up. One at work, and one at home.

How do you like your charger and extra battery (after a month of use)? I'm considering one... can't beat it for less than $20.

it should be noted the extra battery in that auction appears to be an 1100mah model, which is significantly smaller than stock (although it shoudl be plenty to keep the phone going while you charge up the stock battery)
If you have the TEP with Sprint, just go in to your local Sprint store, and tell them your battery is going bad. They should give you another. i ended up with 3 batteries for my 6700, for that very reason. Knock on wood my Mogul battery is still holding strong.

htc rafael 2400 or mugen 3000 battery for fuze?

The $2400 is $21 on eBay and the Mugen is $80.
The Rafael obviously seems like the better deal. How can anyone justify an additional 600mAh for $60??
Has anyone used the Rafael and what kind of case did you get for your thicker phone?
Mugen 3000mAh
I'll bite; I sprung for the Mugen 3000mAh battery. I think it's great (it comes with it's own battery cover, and admittedly does make the phone significantly more bulky).
I'm not a typical user even for these forums. I routinely tether my laptop to my phone via bluetooth for laptop internet access (two thumbs up for unlimited data plans) and I actually get quite usable speeds (I'm using that setup right now). Plus, I can send and receive calls at the same time. Also, I've got two accounts in the Pocket Outlook, and I've got Flexmail 4 with about 6 or 7 email accounts that sync throughout the day. In addition to that, I use spreadsheets and word documents on it as well as voice calls. So, frankly, I'll take all the power I can get!
When I take it to the gym, I use my Seideio (sp?) 2000mAh battery because it's a lot slimmer and does great with by bluetooth headphones (and I use it as an mp3 player; I'm not one of those types that talks on their phone the entire time they're supposed to be "working out"!).
So if you have to have all the power you can get, like I do, it's not that big of a sacrifice in size for the extra 600mAh. It does make a difference late in the day. Just my $0.02 though.
Good stuff BPB21.
What kind of case do you use for the 3000, if any at all?
Thanks for your help.
Cases
That's an interesting question. Typically I just keep it in my coat pocket at work, or pants pocket otherwise without a case. I've got one of those "Invisible Shield" screen protectors that has protected it even from my cat's claws (touch screen wasn't meant for cats, but no harm done). So typically I don't use a case.
However, I was just looking for some kind of waterproof case, I mean completely waterproof, for when I potentially go rafting and/or rock climbing. I can't vouch for any yet, but I've heard good things about the "Otterbox" cases. I don't plan on actually using the device while in the water of course, but it might be necessary to keep it with me. I'm kinda compulsive about that with my phones. So, as for cases, that remains to be seen. I think the Seidio 2000mAh battery would fit most anything (I don't know about the 2400mAh, but I'm sure I'll own one soon) as it really doesn't add much size at all to the phone. As for the Mugen 3000 mAh, well, I don't know what that would fit in. That battery and case make the phone a total of one inch thick the entire length of the phone. The Seidio battery and cover only add about 1/8th inch thickness in a 1&1/2" width and 1&1/4th" length on the back of the phone.
Anyway, if I find something good I'll post here; but for everyday use just the screen protector works well enough for me.
IF anyone has any suggestions for this battery and a case, i'd be grateful and interested as well. the stock cover that comes from mugen is crap with a capital C. it keeps sliding off.
I 2nd that...
This is true; it is really easy to knock the Mugen cover off. The one saving grace about that cover's design is that even if the cover comes loose you don't necessarily take the battery with it (at least in my experience). I would be interested if anyone can find a cover that fits the 3000 mAh battery. (I mean, other than the submersible Otterbox cases - those fit, but you can't really use the device...)
The phone (with a standard battery fitted) just fits into an otterbox 1000, which is the cheapest one they do. I got the transparent one but the phone screen is obscured. I keep it in the box whilst I work outside, with a waterproof bluetooth headset. It's a tough box.

I've actually taken the phone skiing (well, I didn't buy it a lift ticket or anything). It was in my ski jacket pocket (and I tend to do runs more advanced than I am) and despite my sometimes dramatic falls the phone held up well. So it's a pretty durable device, but I wouldn't do that every day with it.
Speaking of that Otterbox - I was looking at the same thing and trying to measure it from the given inside dimensions. Which way does it just barely fit: length, width, or thickness? I would think the phone would be just a bit too long for the case, but hopefully not? And then, if I had the Seidio 2000mAh battery (which adds maybe 1/8" thickness, if that) installed would that fit as well?
Otterbox 1900
Hi. I own an otterbox 1900. I´ve used it a lot with my Axim and after that with my Eten m700. I took it rafting, dirt biking on the mountains and snowboarding many times. You can charge the device while in the box, and use the device while keeping it protected by a clear rubber membrane.
The Fuze fits easy inside, but I have the stock cover and battery.

I bought one, I have it and it makes your phone look like a brick. hey, the Battery will last days but it is just Huge.
Big batteries
I've got the 3000mAh battery (by the way, I saw the 2400mAh battery on eBay; how does its size compare with the 3000mAh battery?). I use my phone heavily, all day. I'll connect it with my laptop via bluetooth to use internet sharing, sometimes I'll be talking on the phone at the same time, and I heavily use email on the phone, plus Word and Excel files and internet browsing, plus occassional testing and configuring of wifi routers using the phone's wifi, all on a given day. I'm not always near a charger so for me I need all the power I can get, even if it is only an extra 600mAh.
On the other hand, people routinely ask me "what is thbat?" (or more accurately, "what the hell is that?") when they see my brick of a phone. So yeah, it does make it quite bulky compared to even the 2000mAh battery. But if you're a power user and need all the extra you can get then it is worth it.
I complained to the guys at nakedcellphone.com and the guy sent me a new cover for the Mugen battery, have to say, amazing service. I should have given them kudos weeks ago. The new cover for the Mugen does NOT slide off and is very good.
Now, I need a hard case for this thing. Anyone know of a place I can get one?

How is the new cover different? Shaped differently or just fits more snugly, or both? I got mine from them, and it may be too late for me to complain since I've had it for a while now, but do you think they'd send me one if I asked? I'd even pay for it (not $60 or howevermuch, but some) if the cover is that good.
The best "hard case" I've found is by Otterbox, but I don't think that's the kind you've got in mind.
Let me know the details on that different Mugen battery cover; I could use that.

Nothing is different, I am guessing that the new one they sent just didn't fall off as much. Maybe the original one sent was defective.

Battery

I upgraded to the Evo Shift from the Touch Pro 2, and found out that the batter from the TP2 fits in the Evo Shift (flipped) and actually gives me better battery life. Interesting find I thought I would share just in case anyone else upgraded the same way.
I also came for the rhodium don't you miss the keyboard and the keyboard of that phone? But then again the speedness elevates that out

don't get me started haha. I think the biggest thing I miss is the spacious keyboard and definitely the dedicated number row. The speed makes up for it and the touch keyboard works better on this phone for me too.
It fits in your phone without any modifications?
Yes, TP2 batteries fit the shift w/o modification. You can't go the other way around, though, because the Shift (and similar new) batteries have extra notches on one side that prevent them from fitting the TP2.

Isn't the stock TP2 battery 1500mAh as well? How is that an improvement?
The only one I think would actually be an improvement is http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Extended-Li-Ion-Battery-RHOD170/dp/B002Y24MJ2
which is 2150mAh but it looks a lot fatter than our battery.
I never claimed it was an improvement, OP did. I was just answering your question about whether it fits. I don't believe there is an extended battery door yet for the Shift. If Seidio feels demand is high enough, they may create one.

It won't work. If you look at the picture, notice the contacts. If you flip the battery, the terminals on the phone won't make contact with the battery terminals. If the battery terminals were the width of the battery, it would work. Good luck with making a cover.

I came from the HeroC. Its battery works in the Shift too. Very convenient, though certainly no improvement when you swap one 1500mAh for another... unless you got a bad battery with your new phone.

I got it to fit the other way around, just have to give it a little 'push'.
My mom has a tp2 and I wanted to try it ^^ so we switched batteries for a day and it was about the same.
My battery on TP2 worked better for me, not sure how or why. And as stated it fits u flip it over and it makes contact. I looked on Sprint's site, they sell a battery that claims to fit a few Android phones including the shift and tp2.

LOL no worries. That's why I put in the smiley. Was just having some fun.
Back to a general comment, the problem with "spare" 1500mah batteries for the Shift is that the back is so hard to get on/off, I can't really see myself carrying a spare and swapping it out like I used to do on other phones. I would definitely consider an extended battery (real extended, as in physically larger, not one of those fake "it's got higher capacity but same size" things). But unless the phone is really popular, you often only get one option for an extended battery and it turns your phone into the 21st-century equivalent of a bag phone. If the phone started as thin as the EVO it might be less of a trade-off, but with the keyboard it's already about as thick as I'd like it to be.

agreed, OP here and I must admit I thought it was awesome to have a spare.. but in the end, its just another batter most of the time. I hate taking the back off, I feel like its going to break.
Somebody posted a mugen 3600mah battery link from ebay in the accessories subforum here. Sounds pretty huge, but it's an option.

battery bank case?

Hello everyone!
I have looked in both Amazon and eBay and can't seem to find this but do you guys know if there is a battery bank case out there to add more battery on our phones? I have regular battery banks but sometimes it is just more convenient to have a battery that is attached to your phone. If not I think I might just need to get some velcro and a slim battery bank.
Welp, after contacting the major folks: zerolemon, mophie and Motorola they said that they didn't have any plans to make one. I had to get some velcro and make my OWN Moto mods! The left is my Moto g4 plus and to the right is my work iPhone 6s with a real battery case.
can you make this one for me?or tell me how to do?

What strongst said. Below are the parts that you see in the picture. I can't put links yet I don't think.
Case: Incipio DualPro Case [will work with any case or even without one really]
Battery Bank: RAVPower 6700mah Palm Sized Portable Charger Power Bank (2.4A Output & 2A Input, iSmart 2.0 Technology) [I like this one because it provides faster charging which works for our phones and also is a nice handle with this velcro tape]
Velcro tape: Can be bought anywhere, I used the fuzzy side on the phone and the prickly side on the battery bank just because I hold the phone more.
@strongst - Thanks! Yes it does and people look at me weird when I use it. But when I am getting over 2 days battery life and 8-10 hours playing Pokemon Go! I can't complain.
If there is a manufacturer that is willing to make a decent battery case for us I will probably be one of the first ones to jump on it. I have one for my work phone and I don't mind the added weight it brings because I get decent added battery life on it. But I think with budget phones like ours chances are low that someone like ZeroLemon will make one for us.
Opps just broke charge port trying to carry this in pocket.
Easier to get a spare phone on another network than these idiot anker cases. I will be looking hard for a swapping battery phone next time. In safe mode I can only get 1/2 a work day. Which is about 14 to 15 hours.

Should I buy a 6p for $200?

Well, is it worth the risk?
It's definitely a solid phone for that price. I'd be concerned about the battery though. The battery on the Nexus 6p has issues as it ages. I had an issue with mine where it would die when the battery meter reached 25%. Google replaced it with another Nexus 6p with an even worse battery. It would die when the battery meter reached 50%. Then they replaced that one with another Nexus 6p with a new battery. (It doesn't die until the battery meter reaches 0 and I checked the battery health with AccuBattery Pro). The phone is still smooth, the camera is still decent, front facing speakers are nice, and it has a headphone jack. I think I'm going to hang onto it for another year.
You will probably need to replace the battery and it's really difficult.
I think there is no 6P with more than 12-18 months and the stock OEM battery still in good state. (With this I mean: shut down at 1% not before and original out of the box battery life or even better in Oreo).

I got the original Cameron sino one (that costed like 30€). Was the most expensive and the best one, a few months ago. But today I've read that it changed and it's not the same battery. It's a thinner one without temp sensor and less capacity than the original one.
So i don't know what to recommend. There is a popular thread in XDA 6P forum discussing all the batteries.

But I've heard the most stories about the sinos (besides the newer ones) if you hear about a place that sells them still. Please let me know... Or if you hear anything else.
No. 6P is built like junk, worst QC of any supposed top end phone. I've had two 6P bent. Have battery issues. This forum is filled with people getting replacements. 6P is junk. Huawei are crap and their CS is even worse.
You're coming from a Nexus 6? You're going to horrified by how crappy 6P is, it feels flimsy, it feels awful, it feels low quality. It feels like they used the thinnest, cheapest AL they could find, and crappiest plastic for the bezel. Run away.

Switched from a N6 to a 6P this past week. Bought on through Swappa with a new battery for $220 shipped. As much as I loved my N6, the 6P is definitely NOT worse! The camera is much better, the device feels a lot faster and battery lasts longer while charging when needed is much faster.
Given all the problems current flagship generations have, I'd rather spend a LOT less money on a proven model. Just be careful where and from whom you buy! :good:
My battery is totally shot phones 15 months old it has the early shutdown problem $200 is way to much risk at this point for any used 6P.

Early shut down is just because of your battery... Just need to replace it and you will be good to go again. It's still a really good device
It's really an unreliable piece of **** between the battery and bootloop issues yea it's got roms for it but who cares when the phone lasts a year.
Mine bent like a pretzel, yes those stories in the XDA mega thread were real after all. It also went on to develop the bootloop issue and required a Mainboard swap.
And finally the battery crapped out.
I wouldn't touch a Nexus 6p with a 10 foot pole at this point.

Just replaced the battery in my Nexus 6p. Bought this one https://goo.gl/jmYfn9 if you get one make sure it has the fat cable. Also be sure to get a replacement camera glass. You will most likely brake the glass. The camera glass is the only hard part about replacing the battery. Besides that it is easy and takes about 15 minutes.
