Finally, an extended battery for the tilt.
I stumbled across this website http://www.talkietech.com/htcat89ti24e.html. It's thicker than the Seido's standard battery but it's a 2800mAh and it comes with a back cover.
I wish there could be a way to findout if the design is OEM with these newly available battery from 3rd party vendor.
I'm more concern with the metal plate & the 4 corner contact points like the original battery ... it is designed that way for a reason !!!

I received an e-mail from talkietech and they informed me that it's actually a 2800mAh, as to the metal plate I'll let you know if it has them once I receive it.
this post is for seidio by the way. sorry bout that

The 1600 ones have about 20% more battery life, according to users. You can't expect something for nothing - if you want a dramatic increase, you need a dramatically larger battery.

Ummm, batteries are not a magical thing that you can just get any amount of power into any size battery. If you want more power, you have to accept more bulk and weight. Consider Seidio's upgrade, OEM sized, battery. Stock battery = 1350 mAh; seido upgrade = 1600 mAh. Of course Seidio is going to pack as much juice into an UPGRADE battery as possible and they only could put in 250 mAh more. If you want more power, you will have to have more bulk, which means a battery sticking out the back with a new cover. As most consumers are very concerned about the bulk of their mobile phone, it would not be a good move for stock batteries to be this huge.
No offense, but "at least 8hrs of Talk time" is just an unrealistic request, unless you are ok with a battery that is just as big as the device itself. If you are okay with that, then great, except there probably will not be such a battery available to buy.
fitted case for battery "ass"
it'd be great if there was a fitted case that would take in count the extra battery "ass". (as ilordvader puts it).
Who here has the Fatter Battery ?
Can you tell me how much Talk time you getting on it ?
Thank you
I notice that the 2800mah battery I got last only about the same as my DynaPack. I've only used it 3 days and have been charging it overnight every night. Are your extended battery last as long as it should. I mean like 2x the OEM battery.

I ordered a 2800 from ebay for cheap. It supposedly had the back plate. But they shipped a 2600, no backplate. So far battery life is equal to or marginally better than stock.
I'd reccomend sticking with the good brands and oem specs.
I came across this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170212826483
It's a solar charger with 6000mAh internal battery. Output voltage is 5.5V and output current 1A. For me it seems to be perfect for our Kaisers.
I doubt you would get even external battery with such capacity for this price (it's £20 including P+P to Slovakia). And this thing even charges itself "on its own".
I will be probably buying one in a few days, but I would like to know if anybody has any experience with or opinions about this (such) device. Please share.
In my understanding it's only a solar-charger not an extended battery.
It would be nice to get an extended battery included the solar charger for Kaiser.
It does have 6000mAh acumulator inside and it can be charged via (included) AC adapter. So in a sense - it is (and can be used as) external battery extender.
Yes, actually it is so, but then it's too heavy to carry.
My wish is to have an extended battery with solar charger on the back cover. I know its just a wish, but would be a nice accessory.
Oh, I see what you are up to. IMO that would be inpractical, since you would have to have your Kaiser laying top-side-up to charge. Something like this might come to your interest (if they would make it for Kaiser, that is): http://gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=12048 It's an iPhone case that has Solar panel on the front of it.
Yes, something like that. I don't feel unpractical until I can find a smooth surface to lay down kaiser on LCD panel. Before some Nokia model came with such solar panel, I think great solution.

just have an off topic question. What battery are u using now? If some extended, where did u buy it? I cant seem to find a store here in Slovakia that sells batteries for Kaiser.
I'm using Mugen Power 1500mAh.
I bought through Eten webshop
HLI-P4550SL Mugen Power 1500mAh Extended Battery For TYTN II (P4550) / HTC Kaiser 120, T-Mobile MmDA Vario III, Vodafone V1615, AT & T Tilt 8925 (Cingular)

I currently use only OEM 1350mAh that came with my Kaiser. I have, however, bought this extended 2800mAh battery from ebay, which I am still waiting to arrive. I think ebay is the way to go for things like these - they are very expensive and hard to get in standard shops in Slovakia.
And I am very much considering the external battery w/ solar charger mentioned in my first post. I would use it especially for long (couple of days) bike trips that I will be doing. And £20 price for such thing is extremely good price

I was thinking about buying a new battery, but the fact that I will have to buy a new case also is stopping me from buying it. Give us a little feedback about the battery and also about the solar charger when u will get them. I am really curious.
Okay I will. I am not yet definitely decided if I will buy that solar charger, though.

Not really (may be 2hrs longer uptime), but I needed a spare battery as well. You also can buy 2000-3000mAh battery, those should be significantly longer uptime, but they come with a wider back-cover.
Okay, thanks for info.
@all:
I have just bought that 6000mAh solar charger. Will inform you in this thread, when I recieve it.
i too have recently ordered this, hope it is as good as it claims to be, or at least nearly as good, hope I don't have to wait too long for it to be shipped from Hong Kong
I have been astonished by its specification (and price), too. If it is going to be as good as it claims then the money spent will be surely worth it.
do you guys know if you can change the internal battery? for that price i skeptical about the quality of the 6000mah battery. can the solar panel charge the phone directly?
i don't know, i am waiting on delivery any time from 3 days til a week away from recieving it, will tell you all about it with pics if i get it before omikr0n
If the battery is totally dead, can it run the phone on solar power alone?
Well as the title suggests im looking for the BIGGEST Batteries for the Sprint Mogul AKA HTC Titan...
Im looking for the biggest standard size (aka no extended door needed!) AND im also looking ror the biggest extended size... one will be for office/meetings the other will be for home/long trips!
The biggest standard i have found searching the forum/google (with LIVE links) is 1650mah and the biggest extended size i have found (again with only LIVE links) is 3200mah
HOWEVER I have found old dead links of ones that do 1800/1850/1900/1950 in standard size... nothing extra special for extended size however..
Anyone got any clues and or wanna throw me a life-line on this one before i take the plunge (i mean comeon... 1650mah is NOT really that much of a boost from stock 1500mah...)!!!
THANKS!

I personally snagged a cheap 2800mAh off Ebay ($18 shipped) for my main battery.
But anyways
Seidio 3500mAh Extended Battery with Door for Sprint Mogul - $69.95 @ http://www.moguldepot.com/seidio-3500mah-extended-battery-with-door/8A37A3718.htm
I think I recall seeing a 3600mAh somewhere, but I'd have to look more.
damn... 3500mah i was just looking at seidio's site... and thats what i meant in the first post... not 3200mah... damnit..
anyway.. while im looking at seidio's extended battery (more because they offer a case that fits the extended battery as well) i need a bigger standard size battery more... i use my phone so much at work i have to charge it at lunch... and it wouldn't look professional with that ugly extended batt...
thx tho...
Hey Kane my wife's Mogul original battery would barely last 7 to 8 hours with her heavy use. I got her the Seidio 3500 MAH battery. Now with her extended uses she can almost go 3 days with out charging! I also got her the rubberized case. I can also say if you have the normal rubberized case with the belt clip it will fit with the extended battery. I am about to get a 3500 battery for me as my Mogul barely last 7 hours with my use and I have to a cigarette adapter to recharge during the day, using blue tooth drains the batteries a lot too. I sent Seidio a Email as I noticed that the normal cases are colored. (Red, Blue and black!). They have not answered my Email yet. I'll call them in several days to see if the colors are available. I am sold on the larger battery. Yes it big and is heavy but well worth it. So I can watch more of my sling box and run the internet as much as I want to and run my blue too ear piece. I have 3 Emails accounts polling every 15 minutes for work so it keeps my phone filled with Emails.
Chuck
Not let down by the big battery!
haha.... im going to be getting the 3500mah batt and the extended case they have as well...
BUT im still looking for that 1850mah or 1900mah or 1950mah battery that i read about before i had my mogul... that DOESNT require the extended parts...
my co-worker has a mogul as well with the extended battery and it looks bulky as all hell when he pulls it out during a meeting... definitely do not want for work... home yes... work no..
I found this in the accessories section
Hopefully the link works http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/
The one you want is the HLI-6800 which is an 1800 standard size battery, I'd be interested if there was a bigger battery but in the standard size.
That mugenpower battery is the biggest I've heard of at 1800. From what I read it give you a nice boost in battery life, but don't expect miracles. It's about 20% higher capacity and hence gives you about a 20% increase in battery life. I'll be getting one eventually.
Mugen 3600mAh
Google these words:
Mogul 3600mah
You'll find the battery I use, a 3600mAh by Mugen Power. I've just finished my first 6 days with it. Its capacity seems to grow each day as it breaks in; for my usage pattern, it now drops an average of 3.5 percent per hour of use.
I've ordered the Seido rubber case that's designed for Seido's extended battery. Seido claims the case is for their extended battery only, but I don't believe it.
I have the Seidio 3500mAh Extended Battery in my xv6800......Its a monster.....I only go from 100% to 89% in a 12 hr period. Maybe even longer
This may not be a solution for you but for some uses its an inexpensive. Digital has a USB battery pack that holds 4 AA batteries ( rechargeable work fine ). It comes with a correct mini USB connector on a self retracting roll up coil and a standard usb male connector on the other end. The connector on the battery pack is a standard female USB. It has an on/off switch as well. Price: $9.99 @ WalMart not including batteries.

It sounds as though the Seido 3500 may well outlast my Mugen 3600. with my stock battery (1500mAh), my remaining capacity drops by an average of 5.5 to 6.5 percent per hour. With my Mugen 3600, it drops by about 3.5 percent per hour. That's not even double the 1500's capacity. However, my results are not scientific: I wouldn't be surprised if I use my 6800 more heavily when I know the Mugen will carry me through the day.
And I have two pieces of good news about hardware that works with the Mugen:
The Seido rubberized hard case for use with the Seido 3500mah batteyr will fit the Mugen...IF you remove the Mugen battery door. The Mugen door is worthless anyway; the latch won't latch.
The Mugen fits and charges perfectly in an aftermarket charger designed to charge an oversize 6800 battery outside of its case. I don't have photos handy, but the charger has three blue LEDs and charges at 450mA. I bought it on U.S. eBay for about $18 shipped.
Can you please post a link to the aftermarket charger?
is this meant to mean that the battery must be out of the phone to charge? I'm looking for a charger/cradle that will let me put the extended battery still IN the phone.
I've found a cradle, charges extra battery but not the mogul with the extended battery still in the phone.
I don't think having the battery out of the phone is useful if I need to use the phone as well or get a phone call.
external desktop charger....and a 3400mAh external battery
You're right, the battery must be OUT of the phone to be charged. I like this option because there are days when I forget to charge my 3600mAh battery and must use my stock 1500mah battery instead. With my DESKTOP CHARGER FOR HTC SPRINT MOGUL EXTENDED BATTERY (the words to the eBay link, which may now be expired), my 3600mAh battery can be charging while I'm using my 1500mAh.
The eBay listing was titled DESKTOP CHARGER FOR HTC SPRINT MOGUL EXTENDED BATTERY. The seller was perfectsell.
I just found another interesting option on eBay, titled NEW EXTERNAL EXTENDED BATTERY CHARGER FOR MOGUL 6800 . Sold by ebay seller nakedcellphone, it's a battery that connects to your 6800 via a USB cable. Personally, I'd find it awkward to use. I can see using it to charge my internal battery....but then, I'd rather just buy another battery.
In any event, Seido claims that its dock/cradle was specifically designed to accommodate a 6800 with a Seido 3500mAh battery installed.
3400mAh external battery
Aha: The 3400mAh battery is made by JavoEdge.
Anything bigger than 1650 in the STANDARD size got way too hot and was discontinued. 1650 is the biggest you will be able to find without going to the extended size with a custom backing.
NOOO SO GAY!!!
I wanted bigger then 1650 for standard size.. i was hoping for 1800mah or 1850 even... idgaf if it overheats... (thats what a charging cradle is for... that and one of 13 hardware mods... -kisses dremel- )

Nevermind, apparently the cradle isn't even offered any more. Nice page, confusing AND misleading.
On the ebay site, they ONLY show pictures of iPhones, not really relevant nor is it anything new, it's a USB cable. THAT is what they consider an "extended" battery charger.
ROTFLMAO, do you work for the company or is it really as silly as it looks showing off an iPhone when the title on the page reads
NEW EXTERNAL EXTENDED BATTERY CHARGER FOR MOGUL 6800
Wait a second, may not even be an iPhone, definitely NOT a mogul.
Funny stuff, thanks for the laugh.
im gonna necro this as i cant find one of the Seidio battery. as anyone have an online store to sugest me ? Seidio themself are back order...
Hi everybody.
plz someone can help me to find a good battery in ebay for my kaiser?
I read about some batteries with high mA capacity but the same performance than the original battery, and some vendors and very bad quality batteries.
so I'm a little bit confused, I want a battery with better performance than the original, but with the same size (of preference) or not too big.
if someone can tell me about a good vendor and his best battery model I would be been thankful with him
PS: plz don't burn me by open this topic so vitiated.
Ps2: sorry about my english
I'm using this battery which is technically twice the capacity here:
http://www.superetrader.co.uk/htc-t...lacement-extended-battery-2700mah-p-3052.html
It comes with a new back casing because as you would expect it is literally twice the width of the original battery so it sticks out at the back. I haven't had any problem with the quality of the battery, but the casing does feel a little bit cheaper than the original.
This one comes with 12 months warranty, which you are unlikely to get on Ebay so bare that in mind when you do your purchase.

Technically, yes...but in normal use, does it actually work? Does the battery work longer?
ive used an incredibly similar style of battery for an older htc phone. I used a battery with twice the mah but didnt quite get twice the life. dont get me wrong, did the job at increasing the life pretty well and u get used to it sticking out a bit on the back
ps, if yer using a tight carry case then it may not fit in with an upgraded battery

that is exactly my question. in this case, which battery is better in weight/size/mAh/performance?
Im using the 1600 mah from www.seidio.com. Barely adds any weight compaired to OEM. Batt life for me is extended about 4-5 hrs. On OEM, with normal usage, I am down to 30% by 10pm (I charge overnight 12am-5am). With the 1600, I am about 45% at 10pm.
All my products from Seidio have been solid. I would stray away from batteries bought from ebay. I got lame ones several times when buying batts for other phones, cameras and devices.
I forgot to add that the 1600 does not need the extended back cover. It is the same dimensions of the OEM. Also the 1600's weight is, if anything less then the OEM. The metal bars/frame on the OEM battery is not there on the 1600. Some say that the metal bars are for reception. So far I have not noticed any reception decrease nor interference difference.

Why do you think that? Have you compared it to the other extended batteries (including the cheap ones on eBay)? As far as I can see, they're all pretty much the same.
As far as I understand, all the extended batteries have the problem where the Kaiser incorrectly reports the capacity and shuts off when they're half full.
Have you seen this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2097942&postcount=48
FWIW:
We have few older htc phones at home (ipaqs, tytn1, tytn2).
I bought extended batteries for ipaqs in the past - original from HP's store, and 2600mAh and 2400mAh "generics" from ebay.
Contrary to what I've been "warned" by some people, there was no problems whatsoever with any of the "generic" batteries - they didn't explode didn't damage my phones, nor didn't malfunction prematurely either.
The 2600mAh made in China lasted me 1yr 3mths before it started to act up, the 2400mAh Taiwan-make still works (its been 1yr 5mths now) - and both are no-brand cheap batteries from ebay, and the HP's expensive extended batt (IIRC it is mere 1800mAh only) still works too (almost 2yrs now).
The only problem I had with the extended batteries were their replacement back covers.
Except for HP's original one (of course) which came with 2 extra covers, the "generics" came with really shoddy and crappy covers, the China-make one was the worst: it was slightly out-of-specs, and it always felt somewhat loose (no, it never felt off nor unlatched itself but it had this "loose" feeling always, you could physically feel it moving a bit up and down when holding the phone, not much - maybe half a millimeter - but it was there).
The other Taiwan make battery's cover was perfect in its dimensions (no "loose" feeling) but then its color was few shades off of the original color... not really important detail (specially when you pay 3x less than for the "original") but I thought I should mention it too.
I have just ordered Mugen extended battery for my TyTN II.
When it arrives - and I won't forget - I'll post here about it.
****, I am really confused now
thanks justdave by the advise.

It does not report the battery meters correctly as with all extended batteries as noted. but this battery at 23 bucks shipped is the so much cheaper and I am betting the exact same cells as a seidio or muggen battery. they are all made in china anyways.
An alternative may be an external USB power pack. I use one of these and top up when my battery is going low. Saves the hassle of a larger phone, and all i need is a standard mini usb cable

I am also using the seidio extended life 1600ma battery, i used to charge my phone every night because id be down to like 20% after a day of use, now with the 1600 i go 2 days of use and charge it the 2nd night almost always. Also you retain the original battery cover. I dont know about you guys but this phone is dookie enough as is, i dont need a big battery that requires a new cover and makes my phone another 1/4 inch thicker. seidios a good buy imo, little pricey but ive been happy with its performance.
Extended Batteries
I have an Electrospan by Boxwave @ 2600mah and a Mugen 3000mah. Yes, I think the Mugen might be a little better, but what is interesting is the batteries are exactly the same size although the back covers are different. They do make the device thicker, but it still fits in most horizontal leather cases I have tried. Boxwave also sells an external battery pack that takes 4 AA batteries. The key is to minimize battery drain in the first place. If your data like connects to 3G, battery life goes away quickly vs. edge or GPRS. You can restrict this by using Bandswitch # www.commmgrpro.com (10 euros). Voice calls, screen brightness and push email can also contribute significantly to drain.
hello,
I have a little problem with the battery in my Raph100.
I´m using my Touch Pro for icq and surfing the internet and the battery must charge every 7 hours.
So found something interessting on ebay. A Battery with 1700mAh with the same size like the original one.
So what are you thinking about these "fake" batterys?
Yeah I'm curious about that too!
Could you give us a link to the eBay ad by the way? Thanks!
I have ordered non EOM batteries in the past.. (many for vvarious phones)... Overall I have been happy... Although their life usually does not seem to last as long as the OEM ones... But, the usually run for $5 instead of $40.... So I think they are well worth it overall.. right now I have 4 batteries.. When ones dies, I just swap it out... works very well for what I do... (I have one battery in the phone, one spare in my pocket, one in the charger, and one that is on my desk charged.... I also have a non-oem cradle that has a stand aloen battery charger in it). I got my batteries and other accessories at Bargaincell.com ... Check it out.. and search google, as bargaincell ALWAYS has coupons out there for $5 off or free shipping on $25, etc.....
