Just got one of these in the mail off ebay for 7.88. anyone else have one? For 8 bucks it was worth a try.

I saw these on ebay a few days ago and was wondering about them. I'm anxious to hear your opinions on it.
I just got mine today. First charge with the phone off turned green in like 30 minutes? Went down 20% pretty fast, like an hour. So I popped it on the charger again with the phone on this time. Again relatively fast charge to full. I am now at 60% after 4hrs44mins. Not so good. I'll have to get a few more charges to get it to full capacity I think. My stock battery sucked at first too. Haha, we bought from the same guy! I also have a freebie used TP2 battery from my sprint store. I haven't used it much but so far its not as good as my stock but good for backup. Still waiting on my battery charger from that same seller. Lol. I'll let you know how it goes with this new "1800mah" battery. The first days are never too good.

got 12 hrs on it yesterday moderate use and still had 60% left. ran it down last night too just to calibrate it.
I bought a two pack of 1500 mah batteries with the USB charger for the desk for I think $12 ish. The batteries are pretty decent. I cant tell a difference between the OEM battery and either of the china batteries. But again, this was the 1500mah batteries sold by a different guy from china. I've got some ebay money, maybe I'll buy this 1800mah and test it and get results up here...
Here the link to the batteries I bought : http://cgi.ebay.com/2X-1500mah-Batt...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item335df8101f
I got 2 (red ones) with a usb/wall charger for like $20 for my wife and I. I get through the day no problem, my wife doesn't use hers as much and still has 30 percent at the end of the day. we made sure to run them completely dry first, then charged them overnight in the battery charger that came with them. I know people have opinions about the "memory" and will tell me its not necessary to drain and charge, and that's fine. i'm just sharing what has always worked for me. at the end of every day i put the stock battery back in and put the 1800 in the wall charger and get better results then when I just plug the phone in.

how are yall getting like 12 hrs... with 60% left? im getting no where near that...
I have really good coverage here. Ive got all my bars in my house. Im going to give the battery a good week till i can really comment on it. It seems just as good as the stock so far. Once it gets thru some charge cycles the battery will perform better. New batteries need to be broke in.
Yeah, I don't get really good coverage here. I've always had battery issues. But this EVO has been the longest lasting so far. I had the 6700, mogul, touch pro. My stock battery can go about 20hrs with moderate usage. I'll keep you guys posted.

Just an update. On my 2nd day of using the 1800. I got a little over 17 hrs before it went red. I got my battery charger from the same guy today and am currently giving the 1800 a test charge. Will let you know how it goes. I still a solid 20hrs of use from my stock battery.

Yeah, I got 22 hours yesterday. So, looking like about the same as my stock. Tried charging the stock battery with the Chinese charger and it seems about the same. All is good I guess.

My 1800 batteries are working great, 2 weeks in.
Im running my battery cycler/ charger on this battery now trying to discharge it to 3v and charge it up and see how man mah i put back into the battery. Ive got a R/ C hobby battery charger that will do this with all types of batteries. Just making the connection is the hard part.
Ill test out the capacity of my extended 2700mah pack when im done with this one.
Well, looks like this battery kinda under performs. I charged the battery up to 1754mah 4.2v. After sitting on the bench for 10 mins i check the voltage and it had dropped to 4.056v. I then installed into my phone and im all ready down to 88%. Oh well.

I purchased the Sieidio Battery 1750mAh on Amazon about a month ago. This battery is not worth the money at all. If you want an extra battery then I suggest buying an OEM battery.
I might be wrong but I think this battery actually goes down faster than the one that came with the phone. My biggest problem with this battery is that it does not fit properly in the phone. It can just be set down or place in my pocket and that is enough to make the phone.
DON'T wast you money on this battery

I don't even understand your review, but I guess I do understand you are being negative.
But this battery works way better than the stock battery that came with my EVO. It ****s on the stock battery. Diarrhea.
Maybe it's just because I bought it for $50 from Best Buy. What a bargain!

I got two 1800mAh batteries for about $30, and experienced the same thing. After awhile though, I realized that you have to do a few things to get better battery life.
1) Charge the battery to full while the phone is on.
2) Unplug and plug back in to verify that the phone is fully charged (green led)
3) Turn the phone off
4) Unplug, plug in, and wait for a green led
5) Repeat that 5-10 times
6) Then while still plugged in, reboot into Recovery and wipe the battery stats via the advanced menu.
7) Reboot, and use your phone as you normally would.
This may sound like alot, but it really only take about 5 mins. Even after wipe, it will still take about 5 full discharges to reap the better battery life. Hope this helps!
I think its just luck of the draw on aftermarket batteries (the cheap ones at least)
I have heard good and bad on ALL of them.
I got the Chichitec/htcexpress 1800 batteries with charger. Came in the other day and I couldn't be happier. 14 hours on initial charge, that's unheard of for me. On my stock battery I had to keep the phone plugged in most of the day at work just to still have juice by the time I got home. And supposedly these things start acting even better after a few charge cycles.
(Fits with stock battery door too)
But for every person that has a good experience with any of these companies, there's someone else with a horror story.

Could have told you that before you bought it, ratings by aftermarket reputable companies are close and never accurate...if they rate it at 1750, it's probably 1500-1650... The stock is 1500 so yes you wasted your money. Now on the other hand, the 3500 is the best investment anyone could ever make....
It's been proven long ago seidio over rates their batteries. The "1750" is actually just under 1500, so less capacity then the stock battery.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
just terribad in my opinion, gonna stick to my seidio 3500. rather have the size and life than a small size and a measly bump from the 1750mah battery
They rated it less than a 1500 stock battery.
Key with extended batteries is that you actually have to charge them longer than your phone indicates.
Example: I phone said it was fully charged at 3:26am in the morning. Yet it continue to charge until at least 6:45am before it was constant. Granted I am using an SBC kernel but even without, you need to let it charge the night. Don't let the green light fool you. It takes a few extra hours to charge even if the led light is green!
You should just about fully drain your battery and then let it charge overnight. If you aren't on an SBC kernel you may actually want to charge your phone while it's off so that the battery dictates the charge.
You should also wipe your battery stats once the phone is fully charged.
Try that and see if it works for you. I know that I was getting great battery life even on the stock battery. I play "Word With friends" (at least 15 matches running) a lot (at least 15 matches running concurrently) and this game actually drains battery. I still got through the day fine though I also carry a Touch Pro 2 and having the batteries that are the same size allows me to swap when needed.
I have the 2650mah one from sprint and my 3500mah seidio coming in the mail tomorrow. I'll probably write a review for it later. Note, On my 2650mah, it's already on its 12th hour and I was was playing WWF, surfing the web, made several calls and it's still at 77%. I will leave it off the charger tonight and see how it fairs tomorrow.
Good Luck!
I have tested these and if they do last longer then stock, it is only like maybe 20 mins. I have an external charger as well as running the SBC kernel to get a complete charge. I have the sprint 2600 battery as well and love it. Not many cases for it but I have modified a sedio rugged and ballistic to work with it. I let my wife use it for a few days in her evo and had to fight to get it back from her.

I am going to pull the trigger since I have Amazon Prime, I will let you know how they work:

If they suck, Amazon return policy is great.
Good luck! Kudos to them not trying to lie about them being 1700mah or something.
Please do report back, this looks like a good deal if they hold a decent charge.
Going on vacation in a couple weeks and these would be good to have around.
thanks, good luck.
ordered them and give them a whirl as well!

I'm definitely interested in what you have to say. I actually added this item to my car a week or two ago after looking at the various options available on Amazon.
i just go these yesterday, im charging them as we speak. they seem to weigh the same as the stock battery as well...
I have these same 1700 batts and they are good to go. With my Rom combo and running the battsave kernel with juice defender I'm lasting a day and a half with moderate usage.

So your 1700 is actually 1500??
So far charged mine in 2 hours via wall charger. Feels lighter? And it doesn't fill in the back cover.

Ok... I have cycled both of them once or twice. One lasts a little longer than the other. The good one battery lasts about 6-8 hours, when comparably I could probably get 8-10 hours with my stock battery. The other seems to last 6 hours or so. I can't say my usage pattern has been normal lately so a little hard to be sure on how good they are. Overall, comparable at best to stock, but for 2 batteries, and the external charger, I am satisfied fro $25. So if you were looking to pull the trigger, its worth $25. I always carry a spare with my now, it is kinda nice, because now I just do whatever I want without regard to battery usage.
By the way, I am in Chicago, 4g everywhere, all the time, and am running BAMF Preview 4 on the MR2 radio. I sync an exchange account (push), one comcast account (updates every 2 hours), plus weather syncs every hour. I usually do web browsing, email, couple phone calls, and a bunch of scrabble and XDA browsing.
Thanks for the info, im definately ordering one today
How does the charger work? does it plug directly into the wall?
Anyone know if can be the problem to have 2 different batteries (1 original and 1 fake 2000 MaH - Which holds much less than the original) and china battery charger?
So I charge 2000 Mah battery over charger, take original from phone when ran out and put it in charger and put 2000 MaH battery in phone and start the phone... and doing that over and over... Can something get wrong with phone by doing that? Can something get wrong with calibration...?
tnx
Hey i just bought these, what do ya'll think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260787324461&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4717wt_821
I bought one about a week and a half ago. Not name brand and look very similar to this one.
I'm happy! I work 12 hour shifts and I can go all shift HEAVY usage. ( never leaving my phone alone for more than 10 minutes at a time) and I still have about 40% percent left when I get home. I have went around 20 hours before. But make sure you condition it!

I can almost bet this is not a true 3500 mah but i don't care for the 12 dollars I paid and the fact that I can be at work all day come home and play with my phone for a full 1.5 hours after work and have 35 percent.

I got this same deal about 6 months ago.. They've been fine batteries and being that you get 2 it's definitely worth it. I had times with certain roms where battery drain was unbelievably high but if you have the right kernel it seemed to do well. I recall netarchy sbc no havs no uv worked very well in the froyo roms..
I wouldn't buy them.
I bought a similar deal with only 1 battery for $15 or so. The charger, battery and back case look similar to the one pictured. I wish I hadn't. The battery last about the same as my stock battery, so I wish I had just gotten a second stock battery I could throw in my pocket. If I want to do that with this battery I have to carry the extra thick battery and a different back.
i have them and love them... i have had mine off the charger for over 16 hours and its at 41% now.. thats with moderate to heavy use for about 8 hours and 8 hours on standby during the night while i slept (i forgot to plug it in)
im using the new mikG 2.0 base rom and it helps pretty good..
i was using juice defender but it lasts longer without it, but without the trickle charger the battery doesnt fully charge so you get that drop at the beginning, but if you put it on the external charger it will fully charge.
best thing i bought for 20 bux, i bought the 2 battery and a charger kit... cant go wrong for 20 bux
Well thanks for all the input! I should get them early next week so i can test them out on my vacation!
Amazon has them and for $8-12 its better than spending $50+ or carrying 3 batteries around.

Read an article in the HTC Sensation forums where many of the posters picked up an Anker battery as a "Why the hell not for $15?" deal and had generally positive results. Did a search and not only does Amazon sell multiple varieties of Anker batteries, but many of them have a ton of positive reviews.
Before all the battery naysayers jump in and shout "You can't get an extra 300mah in a stock battery! It's another chinese scam and it's probably only 1.03mah!" the Sensation people explained it as being noticeably thicker than the stock battery while still fitting snugly inside the battery door. A good 1mm thicker at least.
Anyway, bought myself a pair along with a car charger for $30 for two batteries, a car charger, and a USB charger. Will let you all know if its a huge letdown, or if the positive reviews aren't just Chinese robots blowing smoke up our you-know-what.
Hey can you do a favor? Install battery calibration app from market and tell us how many mV (Milli volts) it say when the phone is truly 100% charged.
interested in seeing how those batteries are
was about to buy one
keep us posted
I've read in some of the comments on Amazon that they work best when the wall charger is used, though that may be because the wall charger keeps it at 100% while charging inside the phone causes the battery to drain down to 90% if left on the charger after it reaches 100%. Of course, the battery monitor won't tell you that to keep Samsung's support lines from clogging.
Thankfully this is Amazon and not the overseas shipping I had to deal with with my last battery, so it should arrive (according to Amazon) somewhere between the 23rd and 28th. Will test it heavily with my current ROM and let you all know how it fairs.

mV will not tell you anything about the capacity of a battery, only how close to fully charged it is.

True. If it's anything like the stock or mugen battery that I have, it'll cap out around 4250 for Froyo, 4200 for MIUI/Gingerbread.
Momax 1700mah is fine and chip.
Well, while discharging the first battery through normal use, I was actually getting a little frustrated that it was taking so long. Got about 24hrs out of it from wall charge to phone shut off, including about 8 - 9hrs of overnight standby.
Got the second battery off the charger and into the phone, and after about an hour it's still showing at 100% and 4100 - 4180ish millivolts.
Anyone, nothing is decided just yet. Will have to see how they hold up after the first 5 full charge and discharges that "sets" the batteries internal memory. Or whatever.
I thought these AOSP ROMS were supposed to drain battery, dammit!
Just about done "Breaking In" the new batteries. Two things: On the surface, they seem to last quite a while given the last time I tested the Mugen battery I was on Froyo and I'm now on MIUI.
From what I've heard, Gingerbread on the Vibrant, whether it's an i9000 leak like Malice or built from the ground up like Cyanogen 7 or MIUI, tends to burn battery faster than on Froyo. I'm also using different voltage settings, a different kernel... you all get the idea.
Apart from flashing back to Froyo, or completely redoing tests on my stock and Mugen batteries on top of the new Anker battery, whatever results I get will be a bit skewed.
Also, MIUI seems to allow the battery to get further down in power before shutting it off. Froyo would often cut me off around 3700, but I usually see MIUI showing battery power as low as 3300 before shutting down.
Your link points to the 2x package...if you look up the batt itself and read the reviews, most will tell you it's basically a cheaper oem replacement
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1800mAh..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1317360583&sr=1-5
Still a great deal at 11 bucks shipped.... by itself...and assuming it lasts...my original batt that came with my phone died couple of weeks ago... (less than 2hrs on a froyo rom...) had another oem that I'm using now..so far so good, but who knows...this seems like a great buy, but doesn't sounds like it's any kind of gain even with the 1800mAh rating...
Samsung Galaxy SII Touch batteries work in our phones. Tested.
They are 1800mah and can be found for $23 shipped. They are GENUINE Samsung as well so...it WILL be the advertised 1800mah. Just saying.
Even cheaper on ebay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/330601629006?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Sofiz has the Pisen battery for SGS II 1659 mAh, will this work on the Vibrant?
just ordered one too, hopefully it works out

I think I went over that at least 3 times already. Battery is a perfect fit. Charging is perfect (USB computer and Wall plug in). EVERYTHING WORKS with it. I wish people would read the topic more. It's only 2 pages. . .
Only reason it wouldn't charge in your phone is if you owned a Fascinate, in which case, get out of our forums, punk!
Ordered one from ebay and pretty happy with it so far. Only had it a couple days so far though and still messing around with different roms and kernels so hard to say exactly how long of a charge i get with it.
Got mine today, charging now. Thanks!
Just recieved mine from amazon, and so far its been great !
I bought the two off of ebay that come with the wall charger. I'm getting much improved battery life right now. I'm very happy with them. Even though they do make the phone slightly heavier, it's worth it IMHO.
Just a heads up, reviews seem good and price is right.

Initial impressions on the batteries and charger...charger is cheapo at best, takes a few hours to charge a battery.
I fully charged the battery, ran the battery calibration app, and used the phone normally. For some reason, the initial day of the battery being used drained more than usual, and I'm now on my 2nd day.
So far, the battery is pretty much similar to the stock battery, in usage. I'll monitor the battery drain for a few days and see what happens.
nice find!
Just ordered myself, so hope they are decent batteries..
So far I've noticed pretty much similar drain as my stock battery, so we'll see how it works out in long term. For now, it's nice to have a spare battery or two.
$20 on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hyperion-Sp...808791?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f1052e957
Seems like somewhat mixed reviews on Amazon (low sample size though..)
Ordered mine few days ago. I'll give it a "review" once it's in, which they say should be either this Friday or sometime early next week ;-)
Going on a few days now, the one weird thing I noticed is that if I powercycle my phone, the battery drops significantly, and then climbs back up. If I look at the battery usage monitor, there is a downward spike, like dropping off a cliff, followed by a rise up a hill.

I've seen that on my stock battery.. Happened a lot on starburst. I don't think I've seen it since I've been on calkulin (couple weeks)
Got to take these for a spin at Disneyland. Sprint service doesn't work for **** there by the way. They life of these seem comparable to the stock battery. The only bad thing I've noticed is that the charger can't charge a battery and power the build in usb port simultaneously.

I've had this happen with these batteries as well, but not the stock battery. I seem to get better life with the stock for sure. Not overjoyed with these at all, but for the price and convenience you really can't go wrong.

Yea, since the stock battery goes for $25, I can't imagine 2 decently reviewed knockoffs being SO bad that they wouldn't be a good value for the price of 1 stock
Yep, all things being considered, I'm happy with the purchase, and don't mind carrying the spare battery when needed.
got mine saturday; so far, the batteries seem just fine, but the charger that comes with them six..had a battery plugged into it overnight, and, took it off, and it was only charged 65%..
but, as others have said, 25 bucks for 2 batteries is hard to beat!

From what I've read, anker seems to be widely used and relatively respected, so I felt better about them than hyperion.
