Can someone one help me out with getting a battery for my device.
U can get it on certain sites like I got mine from rediff.com they didn't gimme an original 2000 mah it was a diff model worked fine for me though .never had problems till date. I think it's better to order online as they charge arnd 750 getting it from a shop and they only charged me arnd 450 online with a portable charger.

hi, i was wondering if anyone is using, or has used an 'extended' 2400 mah battery-the normal battery is 1350 mah?
2400 mah mah batteries are common on ebay etc. so i was thinking of getting one but i have a few questions if anyone has used one...
-do they work?
-quality?
-battery life?
-any other problems?
thanks

I bought one quite soon after buying my TyTn.
To answer your questions (based on my experience):
- it worked out of the box, first time. Full charge from the mains.
- the quality was superb. As its a thicker battery, you get a new back piece.
- heres the rub: battery life was no better than with my normal battery. I discharged and re-charged about 4 times, but to no avail. I was bitterly disappointed with it, and now it just sits in my bag as a spare battery. I've not used it since.
- no other issues.
Hope this helps

crap then!
i have a 2600 battery that i got from daydeal.
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=15375&cat=2787
if you use directpush or stream audio or otherwise extensively use the dataconnection you will not get much better life out of the battery.
if you set your mail sync to 10 minutes or more and longer during off peak times then it will give a lot of battery life.
I was able to get 40+ hours out of my phone with a 2 hour charge in the middle.
mine increased the life of my phone but a large margin.
I could use it all day as an mp3 player and occasionally get mail.
The dataconnect sucks down the battery at an enourmous rate.
I got the Seidio 3200 mAh pack for mine and it has worked great. The only problem I have is the added thickness, but you can't add that much and put it in the same space. I leave the push mail on all day and I can go 2.5 days between charges. In fact I have yet to go below 50% batt. life.
my 2 cents worth
I bought this and it is GREAT and even BETTER PRICE. Seido was good but pricey when I was shopping.
http://cgi.ebay.com/EXTENDED-3000MA...ryZ15034QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I bought a 2800 a couple of months ago. It works great I never seen my battery drop below 50%. Also it came with a extra charger and a car charger.
What about a good replacement battery that doesnt require a larger back plate?
I just ordered the 1500 mAh pack from Seidio last night( can't get used to the 3200 mAh hump pack)and I will let you know which one works better. Depending on which one I like better, I'm going to sell the other on on the Bay .
I had an extended cheap battery from eBay. It worked for about 3 weeks then stopped working for some reason. Time to order an expensive but high quality piece.

I read a review on the 1500 the reviewer said you won't see any difference.
Let us know how it works out for you.

My new 1500 works fantastic, now I can get through ~36 hours before it dies on average. My original battery was barely lasting 12 hours. but it was 9 months old.
With the inherent issues with Lithium Ion battery you really dont want to be putting any old PoS battery in there. Unless you have a spare Hermes for when your's melts or goes pop due to a bad/faulty/cheap battery.
I assume HTC sell official batteries?
The stock battery is 700mah, so if any of you are having battery problems I reccomend getting the 1400mah battery. It is the exact same size as the regular battery so it wil not make your device any bigger.
This is where I bought it (this EXACT item from this EXACT ebay seller)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170225781410
uhh, my stock battery is 1500mah
I think I'm running Siedio's 1650 slim battery - gives me just enough juice to get through the day with slightly above average useage.

that means you didnt get a brand new one, but a refurb or used. they ship from the factory with 700mah's. someone probably owned it before you did, upgraded the battery and then resold it to you, telling you it was new. you cant have one with a 1400 or 1500mah battery unless its been preowned and manually upgraded.
My stock battery is also 1500mah.
My brother-in-law's is also 1500mah.
My boss's is also 1500mah.
Hmm, I'm seeing a pattern here. Verizon is selling refurbs as new!
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...t&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=3411
Look under accessories:
Standard Li–Ion Battery (1500 mAh)
my battery is 7000 mha i placed two 3500mha batteries together by sodering wires to the second battery and also the first one and then pluging them into the phone. I phone now lasts two days on a charge. it does take 24 hours to charge them....

Mine is 1500mah "stock verizon bought new"
I bought mine new from verizon 1500 mAh, i think u got ripped off too....
Mine was a 1500 new from Verizon also. You might want to contact whoever sold you the phone and see about getting the stock 1500 battery.

Sounds like you may have this backwords
I also got a 1500 on my Verizon. I have upgraded to the 2100. I can make it a day an half with a few emails checking ever hour and frequent web surfing.
Just took a look at my mogul, it's 1500 mAh Model BTR6800.
My stock battery is 1500mAh as well.. just checked. I have a 3500mAh battery on order from Seidio.. hopefully it'll be here soon. I'm an extremely heavy user so my stock battery takes a pounding.
I have both an OEM 1500 and a non-OEM 2400 extended battery.
I bought one off ebay for 9 USD. I fully charged the thing turned on the phone, and no surprise tBattery showed it as only 1230 mAh battery. If you want a cheap, as in doesn't fit well in your HD2, replacement get one of them, but do not expect it to be a higher capacity battery.

Test it with a volt meter anyways. WM battery meter sucks and it might not be giving you the right info as it isn't an original battery.
Can i ask how many of you got your s6 edge + shipped to you with 0% battery? I have had 4 s6 edge + now the 1st one came with 0% battery shipped and next 2 came shipped with 60% battery and finally this one with 0% and switched off for months in amazon warehouse made in dec 2015.
Stupidly on of samsungs Vietnam manufacturing plants ships all their s6 edge plus with 0% battery i duno why they just do and i knew this when i saw the box. It has a diff sticker on imei from my 2nd and 3rd phone which was same batch different factory.
How many of you guys got yours with 0% battery and how has it affected your battery life over the year since release?
I hope there are some battery experts on here because im.in a mess i have to send back either my repaired one which i have now or this new 1 im.furious it came with 0% battery was switched off on its own and stored in amazon warehouse for up to a year. How much damage will that cause my battery long term?
Everywhere you read about batteries say dont let it drop to 0% and switch off on its own and dont let it stay like thst charge asap and dont let it happen too often.. so how.bad will my situation be?
0% battery less than 3.5V switched off for months at least 8 in low voltage state maybe 3.3V depends samsungs cut off protection circuit is set at does anyone know the voltage?
I use this new app called accubattery it's amazing it tells you battery capacity of your phone. Really amazing and it said the new phone had 90% capacity whereas my repaired one had 92% around 2750mah out of 3000mah. After a few days tho they are about the same.
My concern is will my new phone start to fail battery wise in a few months? I've asked battery experts online but cant get a clear cut answer just that dont let it drop to 2.5V as its dangerous but i dont know what effects letting it drop to potentially 3V will do. I mean when i plugged it in at 3% it was showing around 3550mv can the voltage really jump from 3V to 3.5V in 3 mins? I was using slow charger from s3.
Im tryna guestimate.what voltage it was stored at for 8 months to see if there was any permanent damage. I dont know but definitely being in storage caused me to only have 90% capacity out the box.
What complicates matters is package disabler pro wont let me use the old . version cos the note 7 fiasco has removed all options for Samsung bloatware i need so i feel stuck. I accidently uninstalled it on my repaired 1 not knowing i couldnt install the old version again.
Does anyone know what happens to a battery which is stored at less than 0% in a switched off state and is that worse than say consistently going up and down charging wise allowing it to switch off on its own consistently?

If you are shure that battery has been stored for 8 months without charge (0%), of course that battery has already some damages I mean, it hasn't all capacities of a new one. The worst things for lithium batteries is hi temperatures and be without any charge for long periods, cause the ions loose their signal or genre. So when they are at no charge, positive ones before can take negative charge now and negative ones before can take positive charge now. These ones will afect overall charge cause they came useless forever. Understand?
the theory of dont not let it drain to 0% seem to be a myth , which i recently find out after this note 7 fiasco after all these years , but leaving it totally drain at 0% for months is another issue , you managed to charge it ?
So I just replaced my original 3500 mAh battery with the 3880 one I got and according to accubattery it's barely charging it to full capacity?
I've done 3 full drain to 0 and charge to 100 cycles so far
The replacement battery

A lot of these aftermarket batteries are lies cheats and theif's. I got a 3300 for my s8 and it only hot 2980. And its supposed to be a good one. I have very rarely seen aftermarket better than oem unless its noticeably larger. Amazon Ebay all of them are guilty of selling sub par cheaply made batteries. And if I had to guess your is one too.

Siigh I knew I probably should of known better then to trust any dumb Amazon reviews. But I was also wondering if it has anything to do with the phone thinking it still has 3500 battery and limiting a full charge so it doesn't get overcharged?

Nah. It can detect the voltage too. It's hard to go by the reviews a lot I bet most reviews in the markets are some form of friends family or paid reviewers. Only problem is even suposed legit batteries are scams and or fakes. Half the time. I've had to replace my battery 3 times in the last year all from ifixit. this one now is only a month old and already showing me like 2900 or so mah. Its showing like a 95% health already.

Ah if you needed a battery you needed a battery. That's another gimmick imo. My s8 has never been wet. I dont trust that crap either. I still keep mine in a life proof. ? there's great batteries out there dont get me wrong. It's just hard to find em. I try to get them from authorized service centers if I can.
My batteries where shot. My orig died out with only 4 to 5 hours off the charger 1 hour at most of screen on time. Even though mines not at capacity I'm still back to full day and about 5 hours of use again. I've had better. But my s8 is over 2 years old now.

Yeah I'm getting about 8 to 12 hours now with pretty heavy use so I guess could be worse..
