Getting a new battery for your Universal - a guide

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

Thanks

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!

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???

NEED HELP:4800mAh Cameron Sino Battery and original 1620mAh battery problems!

first of all im sorry if this issue seems to be redundant to all....
im a bit confused to some of the post on this forum regarding this issue...
(so please bear with me...especially to the mods out there)
i do have this battery and it seems that it wont even last for atleast a day...
is this normal for this brand of battery or 4800mAh battery?
how long is the normal standby time for 4800mAh battery?
i also have an original 1620mAh battery and it even last longer than my 4800mAh battery..
can anyone here help me on what to do?
is there anyone in here can prove that 3200 or 1620 is much much better than 4800?
and one more question...i also have a 2 spare 1620mAh battery....
one of it turns off at 75% the other at 21%....
i've tried resetting them both but no of luck..still the same..
is there any other possible way for me to use them and drain them up to 0% or atleast 10%?
thanks in advance!

3200 will last twice as long as 1620; 4800 three times.
However, this is given they are all the same manufacturer. Some batteries are better than others. Cheap eBay batteries are known to give problems - however I have had good as well as bad one's from eBay.
Also, batteries will wear out after a while - I think suggested time is a year or two.
I have four 1620's which last from 50 minutes to 3 hours (constant useage with backlight on). My 3200 lasts 6 hours.
I find that whichever (fully charged) battery is in Uni when I upgrade ROM, will give accurate reading. The reading becomes inaccuate (turning off a x%) when I swap for different battery.

ROM Upgrade & battery
so your saying that when i upgrade or change rom..
1. the battery should be at 100% charge..?
2. and the battery that i used when upgrading should be the one to be used until it drains to 0%? coz when i replace the battery thats the time it will shut off at X%?
is my understanding correct?
if i may ask...what brand of battery would you recommend for a 4800mAh?
and would you recommend 4800mAh?
ive seen DUKE NUKEM's post..he's selling batteries right?im planning to buy 2 pcs of 4800mAh....but the problem is i dont have a PAYPAL account and im a bit confused coz some say 3200 is much better than 4800..and some say 1620 is the best...
thanks for your help sir jonny....

Yes, you are correct.
I don't have a 4800, so can't comment.
Anyone else got a recommendation?
The main reason that people prefer one battery over another is due to the size. Most people seem to like the 1600 because the Universal is fat enough without having a huge battery sticking out the back! Other people may be biased toward a certain capacity because they bought a duff battery.
Personally I'll use a 1600 and carry a spare sometimes... unless I know I'm going to need juice (for a plane trip etc) and I'll stick in my 3200.

what to do on batteries shutting off at x%?
sir jonny do you know a way on how to correct those batteries that shuts off at x%?
coz what im doing is
1.charge the battery to full
2.put an adhesive tape to cover the second connector of the battery
3.then drain the battery using my UNI or using 3 LEDs...
4.charge the battery again to full
the problem is that it still shuts off at x%...
some claims that this corrects the problem..
am i doing the right way or is there any possible way?
ive seen some threads regarding this issue but in my case it dont work..
ive got 3 pcs of 1620mAh with this problem..
thanks again for your help...

Did you charge it with your original charger? If not, you can't get 4800 mah.

im always using the original charger....but if your talking about the initial charging prior to shipping of the battery...i cant answer that because i bought that battery from a friend...and it is a second hand battery..but he told me that he just used the battery once and havent asked about what charger he used.

I have done some efforts regarding battery capacity measurement Just lookup this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5558383#post5558383

I would suggest stay away from the Sino Cameron batts. They simply suck. I have one 1650 and another 4800. Both not very up to stretch, especially the 4800. By all means it does NOT last three times as the standard batt. I'd say perhaps just about two times in reality. Perhaps not. I just keep seeing the batt level dropping fast. Plus the build quality is a real issue. Somehow the 4800 gets too fat and the batt cover cannot completely fit in the slot. Three times the size but just a little power boost. It's cheap, but now I regret having wasting money on them...
Then I switched to Momax. It's just a standard 1500. But it shines! Battery drains pretty slowly and stably (no sudden dropping). It's a bit more expensive than those crappy Camerons, yet it's worth the extra dollars.

Yes, right
It´s always better to go for the original one

If you want a good battery for your Universal, I will suggest you to buy a 3200 mAh battery from ebay, it's the best

Which brand of 3200 batt do you recommend?

I have 2 similar 3200mah batteries but to speak frankly, I used them mainly at home and when I go out I take 2 1620mah batteries with me. The 3200mah is simply too huge & heavy - since the Uni is a big phone, people may find it funny if they see the overal size especially when you are putting it near your cheek when receiving/making calls! You can check this link - the seller also sells cheap 1620mah:

Mugen 1800mAh & 3600mAh Battery

Here's two batteries from Mugen Powers, a 1800mAh and 3600 mAh. From my understanding, The 1800mAh will work with the original stock battery cover. And of course the 3600mAh, has the bulkier build. Here's some links for those interested.

Let us know how it works out. I'm curious if there are any heat issues associated with the larger-capacity battery.

I just bought the 1800mAh, but it will be shipped in 10 days and will take 10 more to arrive!

anybody got a 1800mah one yet? thinking of getting one but im not sure they are worth it, has anyone had a battery from these guys before?

Mugen is one of the best second party manufacturer for batteries! It's really quality, no Hongkong Crap.

Interesting, Ive always wondered about suposedly good aftermarket batteries. ....Mugen you say !

OEM batteries is the only option unless the battery is inbuilt. Why are people so gullible? The manufactures always uses the best cells for their phones as it is part of the features present, i.e. long talk/standby time.
I have a HD2 and bought two original batteries which were not from Ebay.

maybe its because the people who know they are no good are so patronising when they are saying such. Not everyone has knowledge of these things and not everyone has had experience of this before but thats no reason to talk down to them. Its logical that these batteries should be better, after all they are rated 400mah higher, if thats not the case then you cannot blame the person who buys it thinking it is.

After market batteries is not a new phenomena and people buying such batteries should have learned by others which have made those mistakes before. It does not matter if it says Mugen or whatever on the battery.
I bought a battery for SE P1 on Ebay for 3 GBP and the picture was showing the retail package. When I received the package it was a "Walkman" branded when P1 is a business phone. I filled a complaint and received my money back. I would never do it without PayPal covering the full amount. I knew it from the beginning, if it sounds to good to be true it is not.

no, but what about somebody doesnt know anything about battery tech, or somebody who simply bought their phone from and o2 shop and has never had experience of other people buying aftermarket batteries? how are they supposed to know?
i came into this thread asking questions because to me it seems a little too good too be true, i know very little about battery tech but i do know a fair bit about other areas. other people, even those on this site may not have the slightest clue other than 1800 is more than 1400 and to talk down to them because of this is very unfair.

Mugen makes horrible batteries and have a long history of such incidents such as the ones above.

£26+ for 400mAh more - seems a bit steep IMO.
Better to buy a second genuine BST-41 from SE - seen them for the same money all over the place:
For example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/EMARTBUY-GE...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274285908&sr=1-6
and

So long as it arrives with SE logo and hologram on it, it's probably fine.

Not true. The P1 battery from Ebay did have a hologram but when comparing against the original battery there was a visible difference.

Mugen 3600 mAh battery
I got my 3600mAh battery on Friday and it works great! 5% drain an hour even with heavy useage. I can go the whole day without charging and still have 30% before I go to bed, beats the OG battery which I had to charge 2 times a day which sucked...

I'm personally a bit skeptical to 3rd party batteries, but I would like to have a 3600mha battery, the added thickness is not a problem. But as far as I know there only available battery from Sony is the stock 1500mha battery?

Not for me.
My original 1500mAh battery was dead by 3.30-4pm after taking it off charge at 8.30am and that was with moderate use. Its been dead by 2pm before now.
Got my 1800mAh Mugen battery and i can take it off charge at 8.30am and have it still on 40% at 5pm after heavy use during my lunch hour.
It does work much better

Saw an eBay auction for the Mugen battery set up by "Mugen Battery".
Read the lower lines and they want to add 19% VAT after the sale is completed to all EU buyers by sending you a separate bill for the VAT (totally against eBay rules)!
What a bunch of shysters!

1800mAh Battery

I just found a 1800mAh battery on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/BA750-1800mAh-Ba...218652?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb7d4dd9c
I also know that Mugen Power has 1700mAh battery, but I never been Lithium-ion batteries. Thus, I thought to try this one. Anyone else also bought this battery?
or is it just fraud?

Very hard to believe, specially with that sort of price tag !!!

So this thing fits in the normal case?
This looks fantastic. I've been waiting for a normal sized battery with higher capacity
Edit: Although, look at the official SE product page:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ba750?cc=gb&lc=en#view=overview
Same model number and everything and it's only the 1500 one. Not sure about this :s

just found this one as well and its a very low price for a battery very suspect indeed any one actually got one ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gadget-Giant-Ericsson-Capacity-Battery/dp/B0057R4Q9C would like to know if these truly exist.

The seller on ebay has selled 73 Pieces :O
Do you think that is the original ba750 with 1800mah

At those prices, I doubt it's original. Moreover, a lot of people fall for such scams because of the price but LOL, in the end, they do add up and make a lot of money for the conman
What I've learnt is that if something seems too good to be true, you're probably right.

Obviously not because BA750 batteries are 1500mAh.

2 things never to buy on ebay: sd cards and batteries.

I have the Mugen 1800 mAh battery for my X10, I just purchased a new ARC .. Will the 1800 Mah X10 battery work in the ARC? I don't believe so, but has anyone checked if the X10 battery works in the ARC ?

Completely different batteries, so they wouldn't be cross-compatible.
The X10 uses a BST-41, the Arc a BA750.
They're actually a different shape, if you've got bot handsets it should be glaringly obvious they're not interchangeable.

I bought this battery as my backup battery; well, travel a lot and have lots of fun with my arc pretty much.
I will let you guys know if it's good or worst than original one. I barely can expect same quality as original one. but we will see!!!!

Excellent thank you!

I've just recently ordered a 1800 mAh High capacity battery for my arc from Malaysia for about 25 bucks I hope it's the real deal will just have to wait and see .

Thank you the answer

I ordered the battery from obostore and I would say it's a good standby battery to have.
Battery can precharged 60%.
Charge to full and stream video off my nas with full brightness and was able to last 2 hours 45 mins before it shut down with 33% left.
2nd charge and again stream video like above and was able to last 3 hours and 20mins before it shut down with 21% left.
Now is my 3rd charge and will use it as per normal and monitor it's durability.
Btw, battery temperature doesn't reflect correctly as well. Will post more update....

Which is a good or recommended battery for wildfire S

Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a HTC Wildfire S. I am quite disappointed by the battery performance. The dialer and android system always shows 49 % usage. Is it a bug in GB or is this normal behavior ?
I feel my battery drains out very fast in a day. I usually do a 20-30 mins of call/day. About 10-20 Mb of internet data via 2G. But at the end of the day around 8-8.30 PM my battery is almost at 25-30% or sometimes less than that. I have disabled all the vibrating notifications. Wi-Fi and bluetooth OFF, I have installed juice defender which shuts the data off when the phone is idle. Though there is some improvement after this, i still feel the battery is going down.
When googled about this, everyone had almost the same complaint. And the only suggestion was to have an extra 1500 or 1900 mAh battery. Now which is the recommended battery without making any change to the hardware etc
coz i see lot of them taking a 3500 mAh battery with extra cover and changing the contacts and all. I dont want to do all those but just to improve my battery performance. Can you help me out ?

I use this battery :
http://www.batterychampion.fr/produ...rtmentProductId/76703263/shopGroupId/95658473
I can use my device almost during 3 days without any charge : calls, sms, internet and games.

Its very large. I wanted a small phone...

The 1500mAh Replacement Battery For HTC HD7 fits the Wildfire S and gives you an approximate 20-30% boost in battery capacity.

Edit: Nvm, never bought a new battery lol

and what about 1900? any suggestion?
and btw, 1500 and 1900 battery has same sizes as the original? only the 2200 and 3500 needs a new back cover ,right?

the only extended battery worth getting is the Cameron Sino 2200mah version. Yes, it does make you phone quite a bit thicker...but it's the only one i've found that does what it's supposed to do.
I tried first a 3500mah version, but after a couple of weeks it lost it's ability to hold charge almost completely, so it was actually worse than the stock battery.
Next was the eCell 2350mah version (Gold), this didn't last much longer than the stock battery either, although it did give a litte extra, but no where near the 2x capacity of the stock, as it should have been. (i think i got like an extra hour or two oout of it)
and finally....the CS 2200mah version.....where I usually get around 8 hours tops on the stock battery (i leave things syncing every hour, quite alot of texts every day, a fair bit of internt use too), I can now use my phone for 2 full days straight, and by night-time on the second day it's finally down to around 10-15% battery left, so go mad playing games for an hour or two to really run it down to nothing, then leave it on charge over-night.
I would highly reccommend this battery, it's the only one you'll ever need, and you can actually make use of the "smart" features of your phone....I can actually use programs that need GPS without having to worry if my battery will die, leaving me stranded
it only costs around £10 on ebay.....

the thickness is something you get used to, and some people even find it a bit more comfortable to hold....so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

A review of the Cameron Sino.
It comes as advertised.

From my personal experiences the HD7 replacement doesn't give that boost. Maybe I got a weak unit... Soon I will order another one just to make sure.
I suggest you check this thread for comparisons between different batteries and results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419930
On page 3 of that thread I show my tests and comparisons of:
HTC Stock 1230mAh
HD7 1500mAh replacement
ECell Gold 2430mAh
Thanks to d33ps1x for his great public service testing several batteries and showing us what we can expect from them. If he didn't open that thread (and others) I probably wouldn't have shared my results.
I suggest everybody take a good luck before spending their cash.

I've recently bought the 3500mah battery with black cover at FocalPrice for 6€ shipping included.
When I get the order I'll post my results.

3500... i rly hope it will be that much, but it will more likely be 1700 to 2000 MAX

I thought that too but a friend bought it and told me that his phone stays on for a least 2 days without charging it.
When it arrives my home I'll post my results with pics of the difference.

okay, we expect your review .. .

I got the Cameron Sino Tech 2200 mAh about a week ago.
I cant give an accurate review of the battery but I've found that its well worth the extra size for the extended life, i get a couple of days out of it now.
Its cheap as well and now I have a spare battery so if I know i'm gonna be away from a charger I can take the original battery with me.

Like other people have seen (d33ps1x for example), the Cameron Sino 2200 mAh is the best bang for the buck. Even if it makes your phone "fat" it is a real power improvement.
The ECell Gold 2430mAh has barely 1600mAh inside so it's obviously false advertising when they say that they use Li-Polymer. I have one and ordered the second unit because even if it doesn't correspond to what's promised, it still gives a nice boost comparing to stock.
I'm also curious how different the two batteries can be. The second one will arrive this week. I will prepare it and test it as soon as I get it in the mail.
All those 1500mAh you can find on eBay are only marginal improvement when comparing to the stock battery. If they can provide 1300-1350mAh then you are a very lucky owner.
There are some amazing batteries out there, but they are too expensive.
I'm talking about Mugen Power Batteries:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
I had one of their batteries on my HTC Desire and it was something out of other world. If you follow their instructions (that come with the battery) you won't regret buying one. Right now the Wildfire S 1500 mAh is out of stock and will be ready for shipment on the 17th February. This means they're being produced now and who buys them will get brand new batteries, that haven't stayed for months in a warehouse. If they were cheaper I would definitely order one. If Mugen Power announces 1500mAh, they're definitely inside.

I want to buy the Cameron sino 2200 may, but will it fit a metro pcs wildfire s???

I get one or two days? I think that's good? It's longer when wifi is off.

The battery will fit, but the cover will not.

I got the battery, it fits, but it's BIG! I got a soft silicone case and it works. It stretches and fits fine, it protects the phone without a back cover.
The battery is a definite improvement over the original.
