High capacity (2400 mAh) battery for HTC Artemis

Now there is a 2400 mAh battery. The manufacturer is Chinese and they claim this battery will last 100% longer than the original. Oh and the battery is also 100% bigger than the original so they supply the customised back battery cover.

And they declared that the high capacity battery run the spb bankmark

So to sum on, there is a better battery, at least it looks like it has better battery life, so its your choice to get another or to get this one?

I think I keep the original battery.
This one is way too bulky and I think the Artemis is quite sexy the way it is.

i thing, it is joke

1000% AGREE !!!!!

Man, that makes the Artemis look ugly.

when you have business trips, you will change opinion.

This is a nice battery.
I am using it

I agree with what biou said, go on a longer trip where you have no access to electricity.
I bought a double capacity battery for my Ipaq rx3715 which already has one of the best battery life on the market. With the big battery I managed 40 hours continuous use with minimal settings, 20 with normal and 12 with heavy use like video or 8 with extra heavy use, so video + WLAN + big headphones.
When I watch videos my Artemis lasts about 8-10 hours but when I surf the web power drains so fast! I think it lasts for max. 3-4 hours with WLAN on.
I might buy one of these or I buy an emergency charger wit mini-USB. I still can't decide which one I want to use.

Where and whec is it going to be available? Shipping to eu?
I agree that it is ugly, but going on a hike in wood i would better have this fat one as a spare in case i got lost. Happened to me - first thing u notice when lost in wood is how fast gps battery starts to drain and that brings surge of adrenalin/panic.

I have a similar one to this which I use on my extended trips away from the office which also generate heavy phone use and often using a BT headset.
On the positive side it can last up to 3 times longer than the original battery without charge especially when using BT functions.
On the negative side however with the extended battery in use the PDA does not fit the desktop cradle or my GPS car holder.
In my opinion well worth having for those times away from an AC or car charge.

I want to buy one, but what battery is the best? I don't really trust all the cheap batterypacks on E-bay, do you guys have some experiences with a good battery?
Please help me pick one. Thanks

I bought mine from eBay and have not experienced any problems at all.
My battery is black in colour with white text. 2500mAh 3.7VDC and clearly marked for the DOPOD P800W so should be easy to identify on pics of the eBay listings.
My only word of caution is that the two top (closest to camera) plastic tabs on the battery cover are somewhat exposed and therefore fragile when removing the cover and can snap off from repeated swapping of extended battery back to standard battery.
My first cover tabs broke and I bought a second extended battery just to get a new cover when I snapped the tabs of the extended battery cover. Now I leave the extended battery on all the time.
I can do that because I located a different desktop cradle where I could cut some of the plastic away to accommodate my Artimas with the extended battery fitted. I also have replaced my OEM card holder with a universal style so I no longer have the issues which required me to swap back to the standard battery.
Extended battery is great and IMHO not too bulky despite the initial look in the photos.

Sprint HTC Evo Extended Battery (2600 mah)

Sorry if this already has been posted, I did not see it posted anywhere on here.
I just went to return my car dock at Sprint and they said they had just received shipments of Sprints' own extended battery + covers for sale. It was $54 after taxes. Comes with 2 covers, one white which is painted so it's smooth, the other a black that has the rubbery finish on the back.
Not bad for the price, I mean sure it can't beat the Ebay ones (which I ordered the 2 3000)
I am going to guess this is basically a Seidio rebrand?

Did you see any cases for it?

No I did not. I asked but they said they do not know of any coming out yet. I can't find this battery announced anywhere so it must be a brand new item from Sprint, guess I got lucky.

jesus it makes the evo look like a damn hunchback. i wish these companies would make these slimline only.

With phones outpacing battery technology by a very large margin, this is the only way so far. I mean there is the option of carrying a second battery, but that seems a little unnecessary. I'll trade aesthetics for convenience and utility.

Can these be purchased online?
mr2man07 .. how are the 3000mah batteries working for you, have you tested them? I've read eBay batteries are lower than actually rated as they arent regulated, even the Seidio's are falsely rated.

Thanks for the heads up, gonna pick one up tomorrow...
Just picked it up , charging .. Got the last one in the store ....

I do not even think they are announced from Sprint yet. I managed to get lucky and the guy told me they had them in stock if I was interested. Told me it was $49.99 and I jumped on it.
I have yet to receive them. They are still about a week out, maybe less. This one has only dropped about 15% over 5 hours of moderate-heavy usage. This is on the Fresh rom with battery-config script.

They are online

Do you know if they add the same height as the seidio 3500? I have the innocase extended on mine with the innocase extended holster ordered. I wonder if it would work with this battery. Also let us know how the battery does. I wonder how many actual mah it is.

I have no idea how it compares to a Seidio. I have not had the opportunity to do a comparison.

Keep us posted on the performance. I think it will probably been on par with the 3500 batteries.

nice find!
now if we could only get an OEM extended slim battery.
i just can't bring myself to use an extended back. i love my cyclops case too much.

30 minutes of Angry Birds, 30 minutes of Reckless Racing, 30 minutes of browsing and 3 youtube videos, the rest being standby with WiFi at 7 1/2 hours total time uncharged, it barely dropped 20%. Whereas my oem battery would be around 40-50%. This being on only the batteries first full chrage.
I love it, it is no longer mandatory to put the phone on the charger just to navigate to clients for work, or to be able to use tethering.
I am a Network Technician, and I use my phone a LOT during work days, and this battery will help me greatly.
Obviously, this is not for everybody. I see my phone as a utility, a tool for my job and a personal gadget/toy on off-hours, not some fashion device, so its "beauty" is not as important as its functionality.

Jesus H Christ, that backplate and battery looks bigger and crappier than my Chinese-made 3500mAh, which I got two of at just over 1/3 the price.

im new to the forums but been following and taking UR guys advice for a while....anyways I just picked one of these up today to. Last one at that. I was gonna get the 3500 mah battery from hk right before I bought this one but went with this since oem. I would like to see how long it last.
Update: its now close to 6 hours of being in my phone under heavy usage and it hit 15% and that was out of package with no charging.

Rule of thumb on these is most batteries are shipped with a 50-60% charge from the manufacturer . It also has yet to be seen if this battery is truely a 2600mah . As its well known from Batteryboss even the Seidio doesnt hold a true 3500mah charge . From batteryboss the Seidio is only holding 80% of its advertised capacity . If the battery from Sprint holds true to that ratio it still will hold a charge of 2080mah (This is just theory and estimated) . You should see an improvement over battery performance from stock . Give the battery a few charge / discharge cycles .

Just grabbed one last night and not really sure if Im gonna keep it. The main issue I have is my phone is completely naked now. Ive got no holster or protective case and Im paranoid about dropping it. Gonna try and see if theres some type of case at best buy tonight that will fit this battery even if I have to modify it.
As far as life goes, Just took it off the charger so gonna try and use it heavier than normal today and see what I get

[OFFICIAL THREAD] Anker battery 1900mah

Hello there.
Im new here but i saw that there are a lot of posts about those batteries but there is no main thread to explain\share\review information about this batteries.
so I thought we need this one.
What is ANKER? Anker is a brand of batteries Fantasia Trading LLC company known more as a U.S. laptopmate
They have a website? Yes, [link will be here later]
What is special about the battery? The ANKER batteries reach a volume of 1900MAH Unlike the original Samsung battery [1650MAH], as of this moment is the most powerful battery-sized or enlarged with same size as original.
There is also a battery of 1750, does not interest most of us when the 1900
Okay, and how long a battery that adds me? It adds about 20%, of course it depends on the use
Do I need a new cover? No, the battery is the same size as the original so that it fits your device without the new cover
Is safe to use? Nothing is certain in this life, but so far everyone who has this battery was pleased ...
I heard about the guy that blew a battery ... has a documented case of a guy on XDA generic charger used to charge the battery outside the device, if you use an external charger use only original ANKER
Must use external charger? No, the battery is loaded in the device excellent with the original samsung charger.
OK, so where I buy it? The battery is not available for sale in all countries directly,but you can check\buy it from the manufacturer's EBAY or AMAZON store
What are most recommended initial charging? Recommended to 3 ~ 4 full discharge cycles (0% -100%) before starting to use a normal battery
more Q&A to come

reserved/reserved

I got this battery 2 months now and is really decent (i paid 11euros all included). With medium usage and 100 apps on my phone it's enough for one day. 50 apps and low usage with wifi on all day i get 50% by the time i go to bed.

Is this one really better than the stock battery? and is it works?

Well it having an extra 250mah will give it about 20% extra juice. And yes it does work.

The reason I asked is because other brands on ebay claims the same but from what I've seen the other says they actually worse than Sam's original one and just fake.
it seems Anker is the only one on ebay which is works good?
Thanks

No this one is actually better. Not 20% but about 15%. It keeps me running for on day with medium to heavy usage.

It is a good battery at a good price. However, I have noticed that sometimes when my battery drops to <15%, the phone will just turn off right away without discharging all the way to 0%. Other than that it's worth the money.

I have had nothing but trouble since I bought mine. Bought froma reputable Ebay dealer.
Random freeze ups, phone would just die.
Tried multiple ROMS/Multiple kernels. Always thought it HAD to be something I was running, but when I went back to factory , my phone was stable again.
It's quite a drawn out story, but long story short, Im curious if I got a dud or if they all have a similar flaw?!?

No problems here. As other users wrote... it's not actually a 20% improvement but it is an improvement. I think that my battery is about 10% better but that's based on my average usage and observations.

Sounds like yours is a dud. I got two (had them shipped back home, then family shipped them to me since ebay seller didn't ship to Korea) and they work very well in my Korean SII, lasts longer than my stock batteries now.

are there any over heating problems with this battery?

Just brought this battery from Amazon for £10.99 will post update when I have got it and used it for awhile. Seems like a good bargain for the extra juice and the fact that it is the same size as original battery seems great

i am using it and i am fu**ing love it indeed

hi there you say everyone is happy that bought the battery -- iam not
mine lasted for 2 minutes before blowing up , iam not the only user that has had this either
if you read the amazon reviews for the sensation anker battery and the sgs2 anker battery other people have had them blow up as well
you say to only charge them in an offical anker charger but 90% of the places that sell them sell them with a cheap chinese charger and you havent shown any pictures of the genuine charger or anything which is a bit useless -- for those wanting to know it is white and has black writting that says ''anker'' the cheap chinese chargers are black and crap
also laptop me or whoever they are didnt give a monkeys about the battery blowing up and when i emailed them they didnt respond -- great customer services that
iam sorry but for £16 you can buy a genuine samsung battery with a bigger mah rating that can als be charged in an offical samsung desktop charger why risk house fires etc with an exploding battery and dodgy chinese charger
i wouldnt recomend the anker battery to my worst enemy let alone a forum full of sgs2 users looking for a bigger battery
a quick google of ''anker exploding battery'' will bring you back quite a few hits of other users and exploding batterys one guy had one explode in his phone

also why another thread on anker batterys?? we already have a few in this section already running what makes this an offical one?? is the op laptopme pushing their batterys or something??

I got two of these batteries and one charged off the ebay.. I'm using it for more than 20 days and it is working quite good. would say the battery lasting at least %10 to %20 more than the stock battery and I'm loving it
Thanks

Just wanted to share that info. I wouldn't waste my my money when their are much cheaper, just as good alternatives.
I however bought the Hyperion extended battery and couldn't be happier for just over $20 shipped from Amazon. I went about 48 hours on the first charge with 17% left (see screen capture below). I haven't even gone through the 4-5 discharge cycles yet and it's amazing. I love the feel of the thicker phone. Not much heavier, but completely worth it. The fit of the cover is excellent.

Agreed! And the cover is great. I have no idea what Mugen is thinking.

holy ****nitzz...100$ for only like 200 more mah wow so lame

tigerboom said:
The problem with cheaper batteries is that they use cheap low quality cells. In the begining they provide super-good results, but after 1-2 months they degrade radically, so if you want a year of performance you have to buy 4-6 such batteries.
Mugen uses good quality japanese cells and they last for 1 or 2 years, so you just buy one battery and use it for longer period -> lower cost and less hassle.

He's just saying it's possible and that the only real way to find out the quality of a battery is to see its performance over time. Third party batteries can be hit or miss.

I've been asking that same question since there was another thread about Mugen making an extended battery.

its more expensive because of the so called higher quality cells are being used in higher priced batteries....

Not trying to flame you here but where have you seen it "proven"??
I certainly agree there seems to be quite a few happy purchasers in these forums for the Hyperion battery and that's certainly great and I, myself just recently ordered the Hyperion battery as well, but let's put some things in perspective here...
* As tigerboom pointed out, DON'T expect longevity with the Hyperion battery. At about 1/2 the cost of the OEM battery and at the same time supposedly 2x the capacity...That should already be a strong indicator there's sacrifices going on. Then again, my smartphone lifecycle is about a year or a little longer anyway so if the cheapo batteries can hold up for that long then I'm golden!
* There's little to no regulation on how a manufacturer goes about rating their battery's capacity! I'd be willing wager that the Hyperion's rated 3800mAH is probably closer to the neighborhood of 2700mAH (give or take)...Whereas with the Mugens (being a very well known and renowned brand) is probably right at the rated capacity. Then again, even if the cheapo Hyperions are well less than their rated capacity but still well more than the stock battery? Heck that's still a win in my book!
* Don't expect great customer service on cheapo batteries.
All in all, give the quality batteries like the Mugen their due, but unless you plan to keep your phone for a LONG LONG time (cause that battery ain't gonna fit in your new one!) and need a rock solid dependable battery thats got a capacity to last until the next ice-age, them cheapo Hyperions will probably do the job just fine and not break the bank!

Got the Hyperion and so far so good. I get a full day of usage now.

The Hyperion is only 20$..... It's not like it's actually as big as it advertises. If anything it's probably only about 1000 mAh bigger than the original. Mugen are built for quality, which is why they're so expensive.

Take a look at this:
http://batteryboss.org/
Basically every third party battery maker lies about capacity. Mugen, Seidio, etc...

even teh OEMs aren't quite at their rated capacity, though they are definitely the closest to what they advertise

Right, theres no way to guarantee exact mAh. Some OEM batteries do say a "typical" and "maximum" mAh rating since it does vary from battery to battery.
However, the third party guys being 20-30% off from their supposed rating is ridiculous. 5-10% would be acceptable.

can anyone confirm the max time they get running as a hot spot with hyperion?

I haven't used the phone as a hot spot long enough to drain the whole battery, but I ran it for a while and remember thinking the drain really wasn't too bad. Sorry, can't be more precise with numbers.

Extended Batteries... Mugen vs Original Samsung

I am looking to keep my white GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus naked as the bulk is just too much, and I need as much comfort in my hand as possible...
That being said: does anyone want to chime in on how the Mugen extended battery is performing compared to stock and/or the original Samsung /w battery door?
I have the original samsung extended battery, but no white door to put on...
Thanks guys.

One thing to note if you are buying a replacement battery... the NFC antenna is built into the battery. If this is a feature you use, make sure your new battery has it.

I am waiting for my 4000mah mugen battery including nfc. But would also love the pogo car dock.. Too bad in does not fit anymore with the New battery..

Both will give you about 80% of the capacity they put on the label. Everyone else will give you much less than that, 70% tops, and often half or less.

I think these cheapo $10 3800 extended batteries on ebay are pretty good if you come in with the right expectations.
Yes, we know they aren't 3800, and are closer to 3000, but that still gets you about 1000mah more than the stock battery.
Yes, they lose their capacity over time more quickly than a genuine battery, but you should treat these types of batteries as disposable.
Buy one for $10, use it for 6 months and then buy another one.

The only thing that keeps me away from buying them is that batteries, in a general way, are pretty dangerous for the environment, specially cheap ones. And I wouldn't like to make that kind of waste buying several batteries.

yep valid concern. Fortunately where I live, we have battery recycling.

you know i actually believe you, due to somewhat similar experience.

using Seidio Innocell 3500mAh extended batter for my GNexus (GSM) for a month right now
and i really love it
it can go for 6+ hours screen on time with wifi on and 3g and automatic brightness
this result was after only one charging cycle i posted on my instgram

it adds a little thickness but not that much, actually you won't notice any difference while holding it and using it with one hand
the only downside is the back cover, I don't know what its called in English , but the tips thats go in the phone body can easily be broken
( look at the image i circled the thing as an example - the photo not mine )

what do you think about this?

That's a Samsung battery. He said he is using Seidio. He used that picture to illustrate a point in his post.

comparing the extended battery with the stock one

here is a new results:

Could I trouble someone to measure the thickness of the Seidio 3500 for GSM? Looking to get one, but want to see if I can do a little modding to fit it in a case without using that unsightly back door. From the comparison pic above, it seems to be a hair over double the thickness of stock battery. Correct?
