Hey guys,
I'm looking around for replacement batteries on Ebay, and all I see are 3.7 V batteries. The battery in my device (SGH-i747M) is a 3.8 V battery, which has the NFC receiver built into it.
Has anyone else noticed the same thing? Also, has anyone else with a 3.8V stock battery tried a 3.7V aftermarket battery?
Thanks in advance.
From what I've heard from other people, and in my experience, ebay batteries are never what they claim to be. I would only buy from reputable dealers.

Hi, i've read over at the android development thread that some users of 3rd party battery are unable to boot into android from winmo due to certain limitations of the kernel in recognizing the battery (possibly similar to extended hd2 batteries). as i'm looking to get another battery to be a spare to bring on the go, i would like to verify the claim with fellow hd2 users..
my question is this:
To all 3rd party battery users, who have successfully booted into android from their 3rd party battery and brand of the battery (if any)?
hope this will help me and every1 else looking to purchase a 3rd party battery to use as a spare battery since it would suck if it cant be used for android..

I just ordered one from ebay it is a cameron sino, or somthing like that. it is a 2400mAh. I will let you know. I also read somewhere that if you cover up the gold pin that senses tempature then the phone will boot, but since i dont have a extended battery yet i can neither confirm nor deny. Either way i will let you know in a couple of days.

I have two 1200 mah batteries that I swap out with the original batteries. No problems here except I never hit 100% full charge.
see here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756513
this kernel has the option to disable tempchecking so any battry can be used, it has a ton of other awesome features too like overclocking
I have 2 3rd party batteries and I've had no issue with booting into or running Android.
Mine both 100% charge.

Ok I just got my extended battery from ebay, I popped it in and loaded Android. And it worked. It booted into android with no problems. If you want to purchase one like mine I have a previous post and I provided a link. The back cover protrudes a bit but is not in the way at all. I like it. I will buy probably 3 more of this exact one.

Does anyone know if it is possible to power the HD2 from the micro USB supply while I swap batteries. I don't want to have to do a soft reset which loses what you are doing. But I'm worried that without the battery to absorb the power there is a risk of damaging the circuits?
I don't want to just try it because I already blew my main board by powering the USB through a cheep adapter and a Nokia charger that supplied too much power and had I to get it repaired/replaced. I'm hoping someone already knows.

I bought the 2400 mah extended battery for $21.99 and it booted right into android fine but the new back cover didn't fit my phone very well. So I bought HTC's extended battery 2300 mah with back cover and kickstand on back cover it was much more expensive $71.99 with priority shipping from clove UK. I got it put it in and it would not boot into Android. I had to use the special kernel and then voila all is well. Thanks to XDA and the people who put all the hard work into these projects. I love my HD2 with dual boot and extended battery and it even has a freakin kickstand now LOL!
I've owned the eBay 2400 or 2600 extended battery since I got my phone months ago and have had no problems at all with using Android with it. Just yesterday I decided to swap for the stock battery though, mostly because I absolutely love how sleek the HD2 is with the stock battery.

nope.. its not possible..
i use FroyoStone Sense - Version 3.1
i put the htc 2300 battery but android just shutdown
Since HTC refreshed its product line we have seen the new 1450mAh batteries coming out in the market. Does that mean we can expect a bigger and powerful battery from HTC that supports the DHD ?
That would be great, does anybody know?
Look at eBay there is loads of sellers who selling 1600mA batteries for DHD.
I hope they're of the same unibody design so we have a chance to use it on Dhd, seriously a bit ridiculous that only dhd has to be released with such a pathetic battery -.- even galaxy S2 has a 1600 mAh battery!

There have been many comments in the DHD forums on these cheap ebay batteries.
At best, they don't actually have the capacity stated (ie a 1600mA battery will not last as long as a genuine HTC battery)
At worst, some of these cheap batteries could overheat, rupture or even explode whilst charging. Goodbye DHD.
So try them at your own risk....

Waiting on original HTC made batteries for the DHD.
Anyone using a 1600 from ebay ?
Yes i am using a 1600mAh battery from ebay.
No issue so far.
You could use currenwidget to find out about the battery and its capacity.
I have a charger for battery packs that has that function (capacity checking) but its only for Nimh unfortunatly.
Stock battery lasts a day using a decent ROM so why risk your phone on a dodge ebay special?

Very interested in these batterys.
Whats the warranty and how long would it take to ship to Aus?
If the picture's anything to go by, this guy's selling the OEM battery on eBay for under $20 including postage.
Doing a search on eBay for "HB4F1" (the battery code) yields many cheaper results, though their photos indicate that they're aftermarket rather than the original.
If you do decide to buy one, I'd suggest you refrain from leaving feedback until you've had a chance to test it for a few days to confirm that you're getting at least the same life as you got with your original battery.
Based on past experience (with other 'phones), you'll never get anywhere near the rated capacity with "no-name" (and in "no-name" I also include Mugen et al) batteries; they're really only good for emergency back-ups rather than replacing your existing battery. And you'll NEVER get more than the OEM battery's capacity, no matter what the aftermarket manufacturers tell you.

$99 is very pricy for a phone that costs ~$300. AND the the phone becomes bulkier, no thanks.
$99 for one battery? I prefer buy 3 or 4 standard bateries and swap when they gets empty lol
I would love to have one of these especially the 3600 mah
ive heard that 1800mah is something like failure or fake, it doesnt last that longer than the 1500mah one. also except that the 3600mah is soooo fat i think its really expensive also considering the fact that it might be used and of course not certified
I buyed two of this batteries. My batteries production date 1,5 year ago and it's lighter than orginal battery. These batteries are waiting for emergency call (if orginal batter empty in a emergency situation) I never charged them and i dont know performance. I am just tested them on my phone. They are %50 charged and phone can working with them.
Have they the same size as a normal one?
the site shows a big back cover.
Nope, they are fat fat that's why they had custom back cover.

1700MAH HB4F1 Battery For Huawei U8800 i found on ebay
Seems interesting. Have anyone baught?
Should work fine. Nice to know that the U8800 battery is the same as some other Huawei devices too. Should be plenty of batteries for sale.
I fancy a high capacity battery myself.
looks good...i already got an extra one from deal extreme but it's a cheap knock off. would love to hear from someone that bought this one.

Hi
I have found this battery on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-2430MAH-HB4F1-BUSINESS-BATTERY-HUAWEI-E5830-E5832-E5836-E5838-E5-ASCEND-/130576493812?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e66f72cf4 and from the description "seems" possible a good capacity. For me if the technology is always lipo is impossible a capacity of 2.4A with same battery size and weight, but 1.7~1.8 is credible if really the cell is Japan made.
Bye
Fabryxy
Edit: sorry but from the neutral feedback of the seller seems that many people have denote same\less capacity of stock battery.

Ultra-high capacity battery
Maximizes time between charges
Delivers superior performance
Robust & durable battery
Direct battery replacement
Stable and safe to use

Well the original battery is a Lithium Polymer and NOT a Lithium Ion
so there is a difference between both off them

From what I've read, the "amazing" gold 1800/2430mAh batteries are extremely crap.
i have ordered a 1800 battery and waiting to arrive in monday so ill test it and post my opinion!
anyone tested? its capacity is real?
Hi all
Im wanting to buy a replacement Battery for my S4 I9505 and after being on eBay, there are so many different brands all offering high capacity batteries and battery dock combos.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_t...ery&_nkw=galaxy+s4+battery&_sacat=0&_from=R40
The question Im asking is:
Are there any of these batteries I should avoid that could damage the phone?.
What are the tell tale signs on a battery that say to be aware of?
Thanks.
There is no damage but I think the best battery is anker
If you use nfc make sure the battery supports it as I bought 1 & didn't realise til I tried nfc then phone wouldn't work correctly til I used a compatible battery
