It took me many, many hours of DVD ripping, AVI to 3GP converting and last but not least putting the damn files onto memory cards. But I have successfully been able to put all of "The Lord of The Rings" trilogy onto SD cards (three cards lol 2 x 2GB, 1 x 4GB of different makes) in order to test my theory of whether the aftermarket 2400mAh battery (bought from eBay for 20GBP) has the power to last the duration of the trilogy, or not. Well read below for my findings:
I was first introduced to this theory by the merchant who sold me the battery who quoted that you can watch full length movies with the extra capacity . . . so heres how it went
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring
First SD card in was my friends 2GB SanDisk Secure Digital Card, I must admit that I did turn off the phone function(s) during the duration of this test in order as to not be disturbed. None the less I watched the entire film, and after it the battery was still charged, so straight onto the next part.
The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
For this I used my own 4GB Transcend Secure Digital Card. I personally felt that as I was using the extended version of the film that the battery would fail during it, but I was shocked to find that the battery had only drained to 33% by time it had finished! I was desperate to see how long it would go on for in the third and final part
The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King
In this part of the test I used my own 2GB SanDisk Secure Digital Card. I knew the poor battery wouldnt last this entire film from the start as it had held it's charge suprisingly well all day, so the movie started and the battery packed in at around the point where Aragorn goes to get the ghost army it was a real shame as I had enjoyed myslef so far lol
So there you go the 2400mAh battery lasted 7/10ths of the LOTR test. Pretty good I must say.
I know it was quite sad of m but at least now we all know it's capabilities.
Also I have to add that the battery has no memory, therefore after this test it was back to full capacity ofter charging
thanks,
Ryan

Turning off radio could do you best
See how it does with the radio on, it would be interesting as this is one of the reasons the 2i was bought in the first place wasn't it? Be a good guage to see how much power the radio uses too, in fractions of a trilogy.
Signal Booster?
what the heck is that?
re
i don't know what kind of battery did he use , but it doesn't last that long, i also did buy that 2400 batery and is a fraud! it only last no more than 4 hours, in other words, it's actually the same as the 1300 battery
how sad!!! :roll:
very good.
surely the trilogy used should have been the most important trilogy of recent time.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
THE RETURN OF THE JEDI.
I'm going to put these films onto sd card and see IF MY EXEC HAS THE FORCE

maybe u bought a crappy one?
Since i am into eletronics il have my say. Standard batterys are lithion 3.7 V DC 1250 miliamps per hour. The better ones are lithion 3.7 V DC 2400 miliamps per hour. Thats obvously 1150 mAh more, nearly double. Therefore by my calculations the 2400 mAh battery should last about 0.7 times longer than the 1250. If not, your battery is faulty. :wink:
If you're into electronics then you should know that mAh stands for milliamp hours and not milliamps per hour. :wink: They are very different things.
mAh is a measure of the store of energy of the battery, but I agree it should last substantial longer than the 1400mAh one.
erm... No it does mean milliamps PER hour. Milliamp hours is just short but means the same thing. Example, how many milliamps the battery can produce per hour
still does it have the force?
all radio off :-
watched all of a new hope. then started watching empire. then the bloody fire alarm went off at work so I had to get out of the office. will have to start again.
the test
I'am being totally honest about the battery *proud* maybe you got a defective one or I just got a good one hehe
but anyway with a remedial knowledge of physics you should know that P=IV (Power = Current x Voltage), V=IR (Voltage=Current x Resistance) and Q=IT (Charge=Current x Time) but unfortunatly these equations dont quite hack something this complex, I could sit and work it out (I have a MSc in engineering as well as CEng) . . but I cant be bothered, at the end of the day it lasted as long as it lasted I just got to see one of my fave films.
Oh yes and a signal booster is basicaly a metal strip (preferable a presious metal like silver, gold, platinum) that you put behind your battery and this helps to clear up the distortion around your phone which is created by all the radiation floating around it the one I use is a thin slip of gold leaf.
So in close, keep watching those trilogys LOTR and Star Wars, this is why we need high capacity microdrives to watch such things on the go lol
I'm wanting to get a replacement battery but I don't want to buy a dud. I've noticed a couple of companies selling genuine/orignal batteries and to be fair they do look EXACTLY like the samsunt branded battery that came with my TyTN II. However, on closer inspection, in the top left corner of the pictures the battery doesn't say Samsung. Can't really make out what the brand is.
Anyway, my question is, did anyone get a battery supplied with their TyTN II that was not Samsund branded and looked like the batteries in the following listing?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=170230086920&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
Considering it is from a power seller and the price isn't to low, i would go for it.
That's the exact battery in mine. Mine doesn't say Samsung. It says Dynapak on the top. idk that one deff. seems legit.
Cheers guys. You've been a great help
well you better get batteries from an authorized agent - they could cost you your device. the batteries you shown looks OK but you need to be definite so go to agent and ask for them, you may pay slightly more but you could also save yourself a headache
Mine is Samsung, I never heard of dynapack. I wouldent buy it .
if you look at the top left corner, you will see dynapak. its legit, never gave me problems great battery life too.
Dynapak here as well.

My original battery is a DynaPack. SOmewhere on here is a thread where people posted the models of their original batteries. There might have been 3 or more variations.
Both are oem. Either Samsung or Dynapack will be fine. My original battery was Dynapack. The replacement is Samsung. I had my battery replaced because it was less than a year old and losing capacity. The ATT warranty will replace it for free.
Dynapack here also in my Tilt. Model KAIS160, 1350mAh.
Hi
I would like to buy another battery, but I don't know what parameters I have to figures out in the search. Can someone tell me what characteristic the new battery must have? Do you think that buy a battery of more capacity [like 1600 mAh] could be better? I use a lot the wi-fi and it consume a lot of power...
I saw battery of 1600 mAh costing less than 1350 ones.... Are they sh*t?
Thanks
extended battery with door
You can get non-oem standard 1000+mAh for 23 bucks at
http://www.wirester.com/at-t-8925-htc-kaiser-tytn-ii-li-ion-battery.html
You can also get non-oem extended 2400mAh with door for 35 bucks at wirester as well
http://www.wirester.com/att-tilt-8925-htc-tytn-ii-kaiser-li-ion-extended-battery-with-door.html
I got the extended one. haven't used it though.
Thanks for the reply.
If it is possible I will buy a battery without extend the back-door because if the PDA become thicker I will have some problem to fit in the car holder...
But my question is related to the characteristic. In the Italian ebay I saw a lot of 1350 mAh battery that cost from 6 to 40 € and I don't understand the reason...
I don't know, also, if the battery with more than 1350 mAh are useful, because on of my friends had bought a xlarge battery for his PSP and the time of using is reduced compare to the original...
I'm confused... Can you help me? If someone have bought non original battery can tell me the characteristic and his opinion compare to the original one?
Thanks
My first Tilt had a Samsung in it. The rear speaker failed after a month, so i got an entire boxed replacement at the store and it had a Dynapack in it. Havent had a single complaint with the 2nd unit i got with the Dynapack battery. Heck, i think even the battery life is better with the Dynapack than the Samsung one I had first.
Thanks for your advice. I've found some Dynapack in ebay.it and I think I will buy this.
If I will have more info about I will tell you!
Thanks Bye

The battery of the highest mAh that remain of the same size of the original that I found is 1600 mAh...
Bye
there are only a few differences i can see with it vs mine... with that one, it has a DC##etc under the bar code, i have a S/N: ###etc.
The one i had in mine was a Samsung, model KAIS160, rating 3.7VDC, 1350 mAh, 4.2BDC
Of course, i did buy a used device, but i believe it was the OEM battery...

Hi Guys
My friend has a touch HD and recently bought a larger battery from ebay (an 1800mah) but its not one of the larger ones which requires a new expanded back plate for the phone. I was wondering if anything like this was available for the Jade, probably around the 15-1600 mah mark?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Jakai
DX have it:
http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27004
Sorry buddy that looks like the same ones off ebay to me, with the larger back plate (making the phone fat!)
I can't imagine the one I'm looking for being over 1800mah or so, due to size. What I'm really after is a more powerful battery but at the same dimensions as the current one.
Anyone else shed any light? To make it more difficult, ideally located in the UK
That is impossible. To get more power the battery needs to be bigger.

This same shop has a 1300Ma version, looks to be same form-factor

That looks exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Now just need to find a dealer in UK or something on ebay. Thanks for your help!
Larger Battery
Let us know when you find a source closer to Europe. I am interested too for a Touch Cruise!
I've bought one off of ebay for about £7 with free delivery from hong kong, with free delivery! not too shabby I'll let u know how it performs once its arrived.
Says in the review on that link that it doesnt last as well as the standard one
It was only cheap so I guess we'll see. The sheer fact that its higher capacity would suggest it will last longer.
I'm expecting delivery hopefully this week but probably mid next week.
I bough some 2500 mAh NiMh batteries off ebay, my charger measured the best ones at 500 mAh, some where only 350 mAh. With batteries, stick to known brands if you want the best performance.
As nicodbgh said, its impossible. The chemistry in a Li-Ion battery requires a certain amount of volume per Ah, this is not going to be improved on, not significantly anyway. New chemistry may come along that is better, but it won't be Li-Ion.
Battery arrived on saturday and I've put it in the phone. The battery looks identical to the standard HTC one (even has the same "HTC Innovation" text on the front) except that its 1300mah (opposed to the original 1100mah)
It took longer to charge (abut 6 hours) but its only the first cycle. I'll use it this week and see if I notice any jump in battery life.
Update
And the verdict is:
Absolutely rubbish! It takes much longer to charge than the standard battery and so far I haven't had more than 1.5 days of use out of it, thats maybe 10 minutes of calls and 5-10 texts, few mins of internet. I have push mail and data connection constantly turned on and usually get around 3 days out of the standard 1100mah.
Bit of a dissapointment as I would have liked extra life (an extra day) but it was only cheap and at least now we all know. I speak on behalf of the larger batteries with the extended back plate but my advice is stick with the original battery over the 1300mah one.
Hope this is helpful to others.

This is the problem with "no name" batteries. Perhaps it gets better after a few charging cycles.
is this a good idea to put these battery on defy?
will this improve uptime?
any problem happen to phone?
anybody tested it yet?

Also check negative feedback on eBay about capacity:

- 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?

which are you advice version for battery?

bad english sorry
To be honest, no noticeable or significant difference in battery between the firmware versions. The best you can probably achieve is by doing the following...
When phone is not in use for a while (say 10mins & overnight), use the 'Ultra' battery setting in Battery Manager. You can still send & receive calls & texts with this enabled. I only lose 1-2% overnight (~8 hours) with this setting enabled.
To make the setting quickly & easily accessible, you'll want to edit the drop-down Shortcuts menu to place the 'Ultra battery' shortcut in a better position - please refer to pic enclosed to view where I've placed it in my P8.
Exiting this 'Ultra' saving mode is also easily done from the main screen, & it only takes a few seconds to return the phone to full functionality - watch the latter part of this video to view exiting in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks003FSdHyI

It has a 2680 mAh battery - what else can you expect? What else can you do? Who can offer any better advice - no one unfortunately.
Next time buy a 4000 mAh or greater battery phone - or at least buy one based on battery tests: http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3
In other words, be wise & do some research first before spending $400 on a phone (I paid only £150 for my brand new P8).
