While my jasjar is walking through the graveyard, seeking a way-out, with its lcd leaking like crazy, I was checking out the accessories at eBay.
There are extended batteries listed on eBay.
Search text:::
* jasjar extended battery
* jasjar spare battery
They mention:
*Rechargeable and removable power
*Xda Exec/T-Mobile Mda Pro/i-mate Jasjar/Qtek 9000/Orange spv m5000 series compatibility
*Extended 3000 mAh
*Easy installation
*CE APPROVED
About ~27 pounds each (battery & extended backcover).
So it looks like it will be a whopping 1620->3000mah jump... almost double the charge capacity
Any comments on these items? Has anyone tried them already?
- Matt
I have one of the 3000mA ones. Works fine. Adds bulk to the unit though.
I also have the 3000mah thicker battery with battery cover..and I must say that I'm quite impressed with it so far. It obviously does add to the size but as I dont usually carry my exec in any type of case it doesnt bother me, however I do use a screen protector as I keep the unit in protrait mode normally.
Definatly worth it if you can handle the extra thickness.

Would you post a few real real life pics of it?
Where did you guys bought your extended batteries? Are those the ones from Mugen Power? Pictures please.
Buying Battery via....
Hi all.
I found this website.
http://www.batteryupgrade.com/quickstart.php?keyword=o2&gclid=CISswqDchIQCFRVrDgodeDn3jw
I think, we can buy Extra Battery for Universal from this Net Shop.
But I didn't try it yet.
How do you think, is it Reliable?
Thanks for the link.
Here is a direct one: http://www.batteryupgrade.com/produ...98&PHPSESSID=2eb7a0b635fbf964f5d5e31df30bec6e
But there was no picture nor mention of any added cover.
Cap?
It is written "imate JASJAR Cap Battery"
What is "Cap" means?
Is it possible about Battery cover or some other?

This is the battery I want: http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=324
I have an O2 Exec and it would look weird if I had the I-Mate back cover. Plus this has more capacity. Anyone have this yet from Mugen Power?
Do you know some device to charge the battery of the jasjar without to be into the pda, I mean directly

Sorry, up to now I have not seen nor come accross anything about a battery charger for our Universals.
I'm interested to purchase an extended battery but I would like to purchase in the some place where some of you made. Could you tell us where did you purchase ?

Yes, too much. It's the price of another phone. But nothing can beat the 4800 capacity especially for long trips, and the back cover matching my O2 Exec.
Bought mine from here

fast delivery...and I'm very happy with it so far

CHEAP!
Imagine putting 4 2500MaH rechargable batteries in it = 10.000 Mah extened Battery + charger.
Connect it when you don't use it, and you always have a full Universal to use.
Also you can buy the batteries in every store in case you need it.
Thank you for your email.
Take a look in this information. It is really interesting but I have not information about quality or security on purchase, do you know this shop?
The following batteries are also suitabel for the iMate Jasjar:
1750 mAh
(http://www.batteryupgrade.com/product_detail.php?productId=28712338 )
3150 mAh
(http://www.batteryupgrade.com/product_detail.php?productId=26539598 )
(the second battery is slightly larger that the original, but comes with an
extended cover which fits your PDA).
i just received a 3800mAh expanded battery from expandsys. ii wanted a 4800, but i didn'tthink it would fit any of the cases i have around, this barely makes it. it's black, and the cover and battery and intergrated together. it's very nice, even thought my PDA unit is silver it give it the two tone that matches the speaker. oddly they don't seem to offer it anymore; the total. price was 91.95 including tax. and shipping.

Gotten a liking for MSN Messenger on the Exec, but it's a battery hog. Looking for a decent larger capacity battery, or a charger that can charge the device PLUS a second standard battery.
I've trawled through the threads and don't see much, but that could just be me!
What is the definitive answer for those hoping to get a DECENT days work out of this device...?
No-one? Damn.
Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34638

Had already posted on that thread, but don't see a "decent larger capacity battery, or a charger that can charge the device PLUS a second standard battery" that I can actually buy. Cheers anyhow.
Here is a link for a battery for the EXEC: http://www.batteryupgrade.com/ You have to choose for what type of PDA, brand , and type of phone.
It is the same as the original though. I don't think there is an extended battery nor charger available yet. But this will give you an extra battery for the moment. The only draw back is, you have to use the actual device as the charger too.
Couple of suggestions
This ones an external battery 3600mAH -http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=3131
This goes inside BUT needs a new rear panel with a power bulge - 300mAH though -
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=2978
Both of these items are reportedly not available as of now but on their way (end of Feb 2006) but the following is - its a slightly more powerful 1750mAH replacement -
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=2230
Just for the record I am nothing to do with the company selling these apart from having bought items from them in the past!
Hope this helps!

http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=324
This battery still hasnt become available. The site says it should have been available 1st March. Any ideas?
Cheap!!!! Check this out! But the rear cover doesn't come in black though!?

200 $ ? They are crazy....
But it really look sweet.
Looks like my main battery for O2 XDA NEO is dying, maybe WM6 is eating more of my battery power. Now I want to get a replacement battery. Besides the factory type isnt there a newer version and holds more charge too? Not sure about reliability, if anyone can share some of their experinces will be great.

Batteries with Extanded Covers ... THEY SUCKS!
The Cover is crap!
The 1800mAh isnt easy to find ... i think its the best Batterie in the moment. If HTC make a extanded batterie kit ... buy it! I have a Startrek with new Coverer and the Quality is very high!
Do you have a link or a pic of the battery? why the extanded covers sucks can you explain that?

you destroy your phone's beauty and also many times the covers are not exactly the same color but enough in order to see the differece also many times they dont completly fit
true ... true
My friends and I are using the 1800mAh batteries from this seller http://search.stores.ebay.com.au/SO...dgetsQQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQsaselZ30323434QQsofpZ0
Comparing to my one year old 1200mAh original battery the results were obvious. I could get more than 90 hours of standby with a few mins of call each day. Something I couldn't have thought of with a PocketPC phone.
It's been about 5 months since my purchase, the battery is still good. I heard from others that non-genuine battery tend to have shortened lifespan in just a few months.
Only about 3 to 5 grams heavier and 1mm thicker (which leaves no space between the back cover and the battery) if you do notice these minute differences. It's crucial that the battery won't make your Prophet any thicker!
My only complain was, if you asked, that it took almost a week for the delivery. Otherwise I'm happy with it.

Maybe WM6 has some bug that is draining your battery so much. I have 1200mA battery and it works 4-5 days before recharging.
I don't know, but the best one out there is 1300 i find on eBay... or does Battery for Dopod 818 fit?

Just ordered 2 battery's @t dealextreme
just took delivery of one of the dealextreme batteries, put it in and no sign that it is charging - battery monitor says "unknown", no orange light or % charge shown. Is it dud or do I have to wait a few hours......?
update, I have 2 of these 1800mah batteries and each behaving same - they don't appear to be charging. Any wise words?
@roughneck57 : sorry to hear.. especially after purchasing 2. does the battery heat up at all?
i ordered one.. and i'm still waiting for it to arrive. now i'm worried.
have you contacted extremedeals, how are they handling it ?
best of wishes,
~ truffles
so far, can't complain as they appear to be sending replacements - and i asked them to check before sending - see below second email I have received regarding the matter:
Thank you for contacting DealExtreme.com Customer Support.
We will make sure the qulity before we send it.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,

forgot to say, battery is not heating up at all - I left it on charge for 3 or 4 hours last night and nothing - however, residual charge is actually powering the PDA so there is life in there. Must be the chip that reports on battery condition and charge etc.
Also, I have tried both in 3 different PDA (m600's) and same problem. One phone has an 1800mah battery purchased from ebay and that looks exactly the same but works fine - so it's not as if the PDA can't handle non-standard size.
Hope this helps.

I must have one of those! Already got a 3200mAH battery and I love it, is anyone else going to order one of these beasts?
Mine is in transit, coming from Netherlands. Its way cheaper than buying anything from lionbattery.com . Those guys are thieves. $230 for goddamn 4800mAh where it should only cost $80.
Anyways these guys are certified Mugen dealers/resellers. Go for it without second thoughts.
nuclear, would you be so kind as to post a quick 'review' when you get it?
We want to know what it looks like, ie. is it larger than the eBay 3200/3800mAH batteries, and if so by how much? And what is the performance like, ie. how long does it last under heavy and light use? Does it obscure the camera in any way?
If you could post some of your thoughts when you receive it, we would very much appreciate that - many thanks

I know one good way of using the battery juice - watching videos and slideshows presentation
Attached a SDIO video-out card to the Uni and have the card connected to a cellphone-sized projector, here:-

yea i got 3200mah from ebay for $15. Its very efficient. Damn too many thieves in the world nowadays selling something thats $8 for $80. Although i dont mind paying $150 for 5200mAh. Its all good. Not a very heavy rip off like lionbattery. I hope lionbattery gets robbed bad. I am really pissed.

I feel sorry for you. yes 3200mAh brand new from ebay. Came from Shanghai. Very trustworthy these 3200mAh batteries.
I need help to make a decision. Which device to buy?
HTC Atena - $750 or
O2 XDA Flame - $600 or
HTC Kaiser - $900
As you see I already owned a HTC Athena before and I also own HTC Kaiser. But I cannot keep 10 devices cause it gets really confusing. Like which device must I use. Thats why i have decided to keep 2 devices. HTC Universal forever and one more. I am all about performance and technical detail. Size must be small too.

Flame - since you already have universal, what's the point?
kaiser - small & keyboard is useful.

Hi,
I need to buy a new battery for my Universal, as the current one is getting old and does not manage a heavy workday anymore.
I have seen the ones offered at eBay and I am aware that they are not original ones.
The question I have: are they worth the 15 Euro, or should I buy an original battery for 40 Euro? Is there a way to distinguish good ones from bad ones just by looking at the pictures?
I am only interested in the 1600-1700 mA ones, as I don't want my Universal to get bigger.
Thanks!
Cheers,
vma
I bought a 4800mAh battery 3 months ago from China,and it is working very well..
Pm me if you would like to know Ebayer contact. (he should have standard batteries too)
Hi,
Thanks for the offer, but I prefer to buy from european sellers through eBay. Customs is very problematic here in Portugal and might cost more than the original product (i.e. 25 Euro just for the handling...).
I just would like to know which ebay-sold batteries with regular size would be recommended.
Cheers,

Could you tell me which ebayer sold it?
Hi,
The seller was "trade-shop", but they are located in Germany.
The item I purchased was like this one: 330220303130
The picture however, does not represent the actual battery I got and they advertise it as 1700mAh, while the one I got is 1750mAh,
But the point is: my Universal was not lasting a whole day (12 hours - 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) anymore. It would shut off at 6 p.m. when I received a little more phone calls.
Now it lasts like 48 hours!
Cheers,
vma
i bought a 1750 mAh battery too
phone was switching off all the time etc
now lasts about 72 hours with random texting during the day
or 48 hours with random texting and calls
Maybe anybody could advice something?
Today I received at last new battery 4800 mAh which i've bought from ebay for 37$ with delivery from Hong Kong to Russia, producer Cameron Sino Technology. Well, now it is already more then 16 hours of charging without any success - red led is lighting all that time but my Qtek 9000 doesn't want to start:-( So guys maybe anybody coud advice something? And make the note for yourself about this ****ing producer of battery!!!
size of 1750mah

i got a 1750mah battery and it fits perfectly
I've just purchased my THIRD extended battery for my MDA PRO, and I have learned quite a lot over the past few years so I will share some of this information with you, in the form of a buyer's guide to getting a new battery for your HTC Universal.
Types
There are THREE different physical types of replacement battery (PU16A) available for the HTC Universal. These are:
Standard (original) type battery. These are the same size as the battery that came with your Universal when you originally purchased it, so they do not increase the size or weight of your device and do not need a new back cover. They vary in rated capacity from 1600 to 1750mAh, and are the cheapest to buy.
Extended battery. There are 3 or 4 different brands of this type floating around, and they vary in rated capacity from 3150 to 3800mAh. At the moment the 3150mAh 'Cameron Sino' brand is by far the most widely available on eBay. These are also cheap, and actually offer the best price/mAh rating of all (bang for buck). These also significantly increase the size and weight of your device, and they require a new back cover (which should always be included when you buy the battery).
Ultra extended battery. There are 3 different brands of this type: The 4800mAh 'Cameron Sino' which is the cheapest, the 5000mAh Worcell which is a LOT more expensive, and at the very top we have the 5200mAh Mugen which is VERY expensive indeed. This type of battery increases the size and weight of your device even further, and includes a new back cover which is larger than the one found on 3xxx mAh batteries (although in my opinion it does look better!).
My main point is that within each type, the various different brands of battery are all physically identical, that means they have exactly the same components as each other. It is possible that they may have been made in different factories, eg. some in Japan and some in China, although to be honest I doubt this as it just does not make financial sense to produce this product in anywhere other than 1 factory.
Quality issues
The first 3200mAh battery I purchased was faulty, my phone just displayed a red light and refused to boot no matter what I did. The replacement was fine however, and I have been using it until today as my new 4800mAh battery has just arrived
Reading through these forums, it seems that quite a few people have experienced the "red light" issue on new batteries purchased from eBay sellers in Hong Kong. This is not common at all, but there is a small risk that it can happen.
In my opinion though, the massive amount of money you can save by purchasing the battery from eBay is more than worth this risk (all sellers should replace faulty batteries anyway). The 5200mAh Mugen battery for example is nearly five times more expensive than a Cameron Sino 4800mAh from eBay, and this is close to the actual cost of an entire second hand HTC Universal! So from the Ultra category I think only the 4800mAh battery is good value, the 5000 and 5200 models are just FAR too expensive for such little extra benefit - which you are highly unlikely to notice anyway.
Coming soon: Photographs of the 3 different types of battery that are available.
thanks for the tip man
I just ordrered 5200 one from Murgen, hoping to review it soon
original battery
Hi

There are THREE different physical types of replacement battery (PU16A) available for the HTC Universal.
My main point is that within each type, the various different brands of battery are all physically identical, that means they have exactly the same components as each other.

Sorry for my first post on this board to be a whinge, but I've found the post extremely useful until I realised it doesn't quite make sense. Are the 4800/5000/5200's the same or different?
Not trying to be picky, but I would actually love to know as I've recently got a 2nd hand universal, and my battery is dying before I get back home from work. This thread seems like it has a lot of info which will be very useful/interesting to me, once it's cleared up.
They are not the same, 4800mah is cheapest and pretty massive and deliveres best bang for the buck performance... 5000 and 5200 models are much expencive and delivers not too much better performance than 4800mAh model...
Building battery for Uni
There is also a possibility to build your own battery for Uni and this hand-made battery is very useful where you don't find the battery for your device....like me.
There is no battery available in my country for Uni and I've built the battery for my device last year, which is still working great.
Tomal: That sounds very interesting, what is the battery life like? And what chemistry is it, Lithium Ion, Lithium Ion Polymer or something else?
Could you take a few pictures? I would love to see it!

Will it make a difference if I use a qtek 9000 or imate jasjar battery on my xda exec? Will it have any adverse effects?

Don't think so as they are actually the same model of HTC Universal just branded with other company's name.

Welcome to the forum
Please READ the Wiki, there is a section of battery problems
Good luck
What does one have to do AFTER getting a new battery? Do we need to fully charge it, or fully discharge it? Please let me now as my battery arrives on wednesday.
I made a fully discharge then fully charge, but the problem continues.
Maybe the new battery isn't that new as the seller claims???
