Higher Capacity Battery

Hello all, first time user here so please forgive me if I'm duplicating anyones posts.
Our company here in the UK have just started buying the T-Mobile MDAIII, I think they're great buy the battery life is appalling!
Does anyone know if there are higher capacity batteries available here in the UK, and if so where I can source them from?
Thanks,
David.

I have a xda2s (MDAIII) and i spent absolutely ages searching and asking around trying to find the same product but i've managed to find it, (just testing it out now) the stock one is a 1490 Lithium Polymer battery and this extended one i'm trying out is a 2400 Lithium Polymer battery and it is only slightly larger than the stock one and it still fits inside the cradle! It costs 30 GBP. If you want some i might get some more, let me know

go to http://www.gpsforless.co.uk

i got 2 2400 mAh batteries for my xda iis, both $30 each which ends up being about €15 pounds each in the uk. i got them on ebay and im on my phone right now =).

I want to buy the 2400 mAh battery but I was thinking, does it fit in the original leather case that comes with the Blue Angel?

I've got no problem fitting it into the bundled case... maybe you could try?

I'll get one of those batteries when I arrive to Dubai. Going there soon. Let's hope the battery life increases a lot!

Hi,
If u are going to Dubai, better get 3300 mAh battery.In India it is available at 3300 Rs...around 80-90 USD..It is slightly bulgy..but its performance is wonderful

Wow I never knew it existed. Thanks.

www.lionbattery.com
Not sure if they ship to the UK, but it gives you an idea of what is out there..

So the 3300 mAh battery fits in the cradle AND the original leather case?

Last I heard the extended battery does fit on the cradle and the case. Oh and it's 3550 mah battery not 3300 mah (that was their older model, this is version 3)
hope this helps

Any charging problem?
Hi! I have purchased ext.battery 2400mah 3 days ago, and met some problem. I can't charge it 100% max - 79% and all my plugins don't understand that it is not its native battery - for example they say (Uptime and other meters also) that it will work for 5-6 hours. In fact it works about 15 hours and more, but I have no actual information as for my battery status.
Has anyone met this problem? And how can I solve it??
Thanks a lot...

so far so good
I purchased a 2400 mah at ebay. It came in yesterday and I had it charge overnight. It did go all the way up to 100%. I'm going to test the hell out of it by watching movies, playing mp3s, wifi, bluetooth, phone, etc.. I'll let you guys know if it's worth it or not. So far I commuted 35 minutes by train this morning and had the phone on and watched an ep of Family Guy on it. When I got to work it was at 98%. I have yet to compare it to my old battery 1490mah. I don't think that it'll be at 98% by the time I get to work. We'll see...

ive been very happy with the 2400mah battery i bought a few weeks ago...got it from here...good price too.
http://www.addonsworld.co.uk/product.php/28575/1358/

Great news!! The battery is awesome. All day yesterday, Xmas, I shot video, played mp3's, and used the phone. The battery was at 91% when I got home and that's after being on all day long!!

2 weeks earlier bought a 2400mah battery from them, ordered online, arrived in 2 days (on a fast delivery), I have charged it overnight, put it in XDA-IIi on 20 Dec Wednesday 9:00pm still on 51%, I am making 3-4 calls per day of approx 3-4 mins average, Battery came with the back cover because its a bit thicker than the normal 1200/1300mah battery, and it DOES NOT fit in the regular leather pouch. But overall battery is superb.

2600 mah battery for Universal at normal size?

Just found this on Amazon UK.... anyone try it?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-pr.../dp/B000PGBXF0

That sounds really good, also in price
but problem: it can only be delivered in the UK...

Ok, how about this one?
1111111111

just buy them from amazon.com and tell me.ok hehehe.thanks

This 2600 mah battery IS NOT the original battery size.
They never say that in the link you provided. Also, if you look at the size of the battery (dimensions) they say it is 10 mm high. The original is only 4 mm high ...

and it costs same as an HTC original one.

damn it man...did u trick me or well maybe I'm just ignorant nubi.i've bought it and waiting for it to come.shoulda check the fine letters.can I return it to amazon.com?any idea?

Amazon UK Battery
Yes, it is HUGED, but so is the battery time! I bought one via a friend in the UK, and as I use a BT headset, the size does not bother me. The fact that I can go at least two days before recharge with heavy use counts a lot.

3200mah
I have a 3200mah battery installed in my universal and i get about 2-3 days out of it... but ordered a normal sized 1700mah battery off ebay so that it will fit into my car holder.
Be aware of this battery as you may need the bigger sized battery cover too as they are a lot bigger than the standard.

I bought this from Amazon and it is not the same size as the original. The advert doesn't make it clear and I sent it back for a refund.

Best Battery for prophet

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.

i dont know however i saw i nice battery on ebay with 1800mah!

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?

For everyone that's looking for an extra battery, look at http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6398
only $5 with free shipping world wide

Th 2400 is one with a modded case.
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,
Tiffany
DealExtreme.com Customer Support

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.

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.

Thx for the post!

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?

That's exactly how my original battery behaves... lol

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!

Samsung 2000mAh VS. Anker 1900mA

So I was thinking of buying an extended battery,
since i can barely last a day with the original one.
So what are thoughts?
Samsung 2000mAh OR Anker 1900mAh?
Or maybe another battery?*
Thank you

It is more expensive than Anker battery but it gives more juice (20-25% more than stock) and many people say that the phone feels better in hand with some extra weight and thickness.

I also say go for the 2000mah by Samsung. There's a significant improvement in battery life. The larger battery also doesn't get as hot. and the phone's back is now flat.

Seriously, don't fall for that super mega over xxxmAh class A or whatever made from wherever. I'm having a great experience with the Samsung one, gives me additional 3 hours (at least) with heavy usage. I'm quoting one website that describes it "the S2 that should have been" which is true enough, at least from my experience.
I promise you, you won't regret adding some more off your pocket to get one... heck I even ordered it online and shipped it from abroad!

I am ordering it from abroad as well..
Know of any website that sells it for cheap?
Best I found is 40$+- with shipping*.
Thank you all
*Shipment to Israel.
P.S
Is there any case that supports the.new ''fat'' cover?

Was it from an online shop or real one,because here in Bulgaria its 35 euro at least?

Most Romanian online shops have it at less than 20 euros, with a back cover included.

I got a pack of 2 ankers and a charger for 12 quid. Amazing.
Spent 3 days getting drunk on a scottish beach and still had battery , you can charge a battery and the phone at the same time and the batteries are small so carrying a spare is no big deal in my opinion. That way you're looking at 2 additional days charge.

Here is a link to ebay to a extended battery for galaxy s2.
Its 3500mAh and also comes with the battery cover.

I've had good luck with Anker batteries. No, I don't work for Anker or anything like that at all, just a satisfied customer. They make good quality batteries. I don't have any experience with Samsung batteries, so I can't comment on them.
