If you can run a test similar to other tests where others run a video and compare the amount of play time of a stock vs this battery thing that would be great.

I will do.. i'm always on my phone

Hmm. Picked up one to test it out
It probably isn't truly 1700mAh and probably won't be as good as OEM battery but we'll see

This will be cool if it works out but the price point is setting me off in the wrong direction. A future thanks for your effort is being placed now! Thanks

I assume that this battery fits under the stock cover?
I'm curious to see what the test results will be.
Subscribed.

I think I might just hop on the bundle deal...two batteries and charger dock for a little less than 20.
Seller has had some really good reviews..definitely want to see the OPs feedback

Bumpity bump

1 yr warranty from who? The seller?

From what I've inferred from the info provided on facebook, I *believe* that the seller is actually the maufacturer. From the looks of it, it appears this is a startup company. The fact that his shop is in california makes a lot of sense (I just saw a news special on how there are manufacturing workshops people can rent time out in out there in order for entrepreneurs to get their business off the ground before investing in their own manufacturing equipment; kind of like how there are glass blowing centers open to the public). This could be one of those deals. If the OP (who purchased one) says the battery works well, I might just pick one up just to support the guy. We'll see.

The warranty is only good for complete failure. It is not guaranteed to be better than OEM although I really hope it is. Still waiting to see. Got cheap "1500" mAh batteries on Ebay that last only half as long as OEM.
Do you BONSAI?

The battery will be in by tmrw. I will calibrate and let it die down, then recharge fully and see how it lasts... I will be on Bonsai 4.1.1 200/1120. Although this rom hasn't given me the best battery life it will be a good indicator if the battery helps or not.
** Just received battery today. Will post results on wednesday.

Very nice. I would encourage you, though, to not let it die down (these li-ions don't like that). Id say bump charge it to full with phone off about 10 times (charge till blue light, unplug, plug, repeast 10 times) then boot in to cwm and reset batt stats then see how it lasts from there.

Looking forward to the results as well. Thanks!

Pending on your results I think I'm going to get the two batteries plus charger package the guy offers. Even if its only slightly better or equal to OEM, having that second battery won't hurt, specially for only 20 bucks for it all

I actually got mine today, seems to work well so far, charged it for a bit and running it now.
I'll plug it in ove night and see how she runs.

i read somewhere that our batteries were non-memory type. meaning it didnt matter how you charged it. and bump charging does work but it could reduce charging cycles. im no expert. just what i read.

[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

2x1900Mah Batteries and charger for £12 - Dodgy?

Gotta be dogy? That's an awesome deal! You reckon it is?

I have been looking at this charger/battery pack myself , there is an review of the htc sensation 1900mah version and it get`s a good review.

Either way, It's an extra 2 batterys and battery charger for £12, I might buy to try

If the battery`s are no good, you have seven working days to return for a full refund under UK distant selling regulation.

The phrase 'if it looks to good to be true it probably is' springs to mind. They'll be cheap crap.. here's a good example of what a cheap battery can do

indeed.
If people want to buy a cheaper battery but one that wont f**k up your phone go to www.7dayshop.com ive been buying from this company for years and have nothing but praise for them and have never had any bad experiences, they might be cheap but everything they sell is guaranteed, im sure others on here from UK and Ireland and beyond will vouch for this company.

I have this battery and I think its capacity is about the same to the stock. ymmv

Isn't there a way to effectively measure it's capacity, or any other battery for that matter?

I have a Thunder AC6, it will charge virtually any battery and give it`s true capacity, this is one of the cheapest multi-chargers you can get, the only problem is connecting the battery to the charger, you will have to make a jig or something.
You can see it being used on youtube.

Whoaaa. This is a beast. Problem is, I suck at jiggling with stuff like that. But it sure seems to be the right tool for the job.

I bought this from Amazon.us and for the last 2 weeks using only Anker battery. They are not fake, very good on the contrary. With Green power on I had over 40 hours standby.

I have purchased 3 of them for my sensation and they are by far better then the stock batteries. I get on average about 15-17 hours of moderate to heavy usuage. I'm actually going to be getting the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch on the 16th and hope that they make batteries for that phone to.

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..

3300mah battery for S4 in the same size?

Since my original battery defected, i had to look for an replacement and found on ebay, chinese manifacturer called Gold that makes significantly higher capacity batteries in the same size as the original ones.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=gold+battery+s4&_sop=12
they advertise them at 3300mah (the original one is 2600, so that's about 25% more in the same dimensions)
naturally i find it hard to believe, so if anyone has tested any of those please enlighten me

I wouldn't buy any generic battery without any indication of Quality Control. Battery could easily overheat and cause equipment damage.

yeah well, the QC passed one got fat on the second month
brand doesn't mean much to me anymore, in the end most of the stuff is made on the same place
just the brand stuff is 10x the price, but never 10x the quality
anyway, i'm not asking for general advice on how to live and what to do, but specific question about this kind of battery

These "gold" batteries are worse than a gold iPhone.
Jokes aside, don't ever buy these. Ever. No quality control and super fake mah labels. My backup second-hand Galaxy S came with a 2640mah gold battery. The size is same as the original... lasts even less.

I don't remember maybe someone her will. There's a 3000mah battery for the gs4 that's the same size just no NFC. May be zerolemon unsure.
