I'm curious if anyone has tried this or if it would even be possible/safe?
I basically want to buy a Touch Pro 2 2150mah battery and use it for my EVO.
if it would work can the EVO even recognize a battery over 1500mah? i've heard it has problems with larger mah batteries.
thoughts? ideas?
discuss.
nevermind, i just found my answer.
it won't work.
sorry, feel free to delete this.
Why would it not work. The Evo batteries are the same as the TP2...And you can use bigger batteries, I have a 3000mah that I love!
Swyped from my supercharged Evo!

i have the ebay andida 2000mah hero battery and i got a google io evo on friday. the model number of the stock hero battery is the same as the stock evo battery (despite the difference in color). also the battery sizes and power ratings are both the same. so i put the andida 2000mah battery in the evo and it works fine.
here is a link for reference:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390187525611
does it fit without needing a replacement back cover?
yeah, the form factor is exactly the same
How much longer does it last compare to the stock battery?
This is awesome! I love my 2000mAh battery, and now I can bring it from my Hero to my Evo!

that is a good question nobody knows for sure, there are many opinions. it seems to last a bit longer, but i wouldn't say it's a huge improvement.
I'll bite! For $9.99, I'm willing to take a chance. Thanks for the link!
Lots of discussion about this battery on other forums. I found a website before (can't find it now though... duh!) that goes into great details on all the batteries made of this size, and this performed the worst of them iirc.
With that said I have it, and I think it performs about at a stock level, and for $10 it's hard to beat.
No better than stock
I have that battery in my TP2 and it does not perform any better than the stock 1500 mAh battery. I don't think I'd place too much stock in a Chinese battery company to calculate and give accurate mAh ratings. Good to know that I can keep my extra battery for the EVO though!
Yes it doesn't seem much better than the stock battery
for 10 bucs i grabbed one also..at least ill have an extra battery now..im sure ill need it,..
It was tested and its actually 1100 mAh. Lower than the stock battery.

+1 Yep.
If you guys are in the market for cheap replacement batteries grab two batteries plus an external charger from ebay for $10-$12. You will get the same life as that "2000 mAh battery" except you get two.... and a charger.

Right...we need to keep in mind that HTC is a German company...oh wait.
I clicked that link and up popped the 2 batts and charger for 9.98 shipped. I couldn't resist...so I have them now too. Thanks OP. I guess this means I am really giving up my iPhone...I have to pay the $70 ETF..but I guess I can keep the phone and try to sell it. I was so frustrated...3 months when I upgraded the software it fried my wifi and I was really hoping iOS4 would fix it..but to no avail...so as far as I'm concerned I guess it's EVO for me for the next 2 years... by the way..I got the limited edition seidio case off of Amazon...and I am lovin' it!

I don't really believe any battery that is the same size and claims to get more juice for that cheap. If it was easily (read: cheaply) done, HTC would have gone with it in the first place to help the all to often (with smartphones) "battery life" issue.
I have a 2300mAh battery for my G1, I know it's bigger because:
A) It has allowed the phone to last incredibly long.
B) It's almost twice as thick.
New trent has an 8900mAh portable battery charger that will recharge the EVO about 5.5 times from empty. It's a great price and works great. Check it out if you don't want an extend battery.

It's practical if you don't want a fat EVO or the problem that come with the large batterys. I keep this with me all the time so that I can have every thing I need running all the time and use my EVO without thinking about running down the battery.

What are you trying to ask? This has to be the most confusing babble I've ever heard asked from a human. Do you speak the English friend?
He wanted to know if any other phone on verizon has a battery that could/would fit into the thunderbolt, then he said he cant check himself because the only phones he has on verzion are both thunderbolts...at least thats how I understand it.
Yes sorry I was in a rush but I am just going to order the mugen 1650 mah and see how it works or even if it fits

The max voltage of my Seidio is 4200 fully charged after bumping... The stock battery is roughly the same. My guess is the stock my touch 4G battery will outperform both of them. OEM batteries seem to test better than Seidio. And lets be honest... even the mytouch 4G battery is only 1500... not like its going to blow your mind.. we are talking maybe 30 minutes more of life.

I just received a Mugen 1650 today. Haven't been able to test the life yet, but it is a tight fit and keeps my power button from popping back out. I have to squeeze the sides hard to make it pop out, otherwise the phone thinks I am still holding it in and asks if I want to power off. Unfortunately, I think I will be returning the 1650, this just isn't a good fix for battery life at the moment.

It seems to have loosened a bit overnight, by that I mean the button pops back up. But it starts to stick after a few presses. Granted, I usually don't push my power button 15 times in 30 seconds. I will leave it in for a few days and see if I have any more problems.
Are there any Epic 4G extended batteries that don't need that huge cover? Right now my battery isn't as good as when I first got it(which is to be expected) and I wanted to get an extended battery but the phone is already thick enough as it is so I don't want to bulk it up any more?
Thanks,
Jim
Batteries w/ 1700-1800mAh are same sized as the standard 1500mAh. If I'm not mistaken, anything w/ more juice means a bigger, bulkier battery. I myself have x2 extra 3500mAh batteries, and they are quite large

Check EBAY or Google OEM battery for Galaxy S II. Those are 1800 MaH and fit a little snug but work.
I got 3500mah extended battery and like it vm. Really can't complain being that yesterday it went 12 hrs. Before it said it was low and I did a ton of surfing and gps navigationing around town. Only made a 10 min call but it'd be crazy if I complained about the look versus the extra life I'm getting!

Hello.
Noob
I want to get a better-lasting battery for my vibrant.
I know that some devices by Samsung have better batteries. The Infuse, for example, have a 1850mAh battery.
Can I get the infuse battery and use it on my Vibrant? Is that possible?
(don't want anything to explode
Also, is there a battery by Samsung (it has to be OEM!) that is even higher than 1850mAh?
Thanks so much!
The best Vibrant battery is the Epic Touch 4G's 1800mah battery. It can be found at MobileCityOnline, or you can do an eBay or Google search for it. There are other, bigger batteries that require an extended battery door, but the non-Samsung batteries promising more than 1500mah are usually lying. The Epic Touch 4G's battery is made by Samsung so you know it's legitimate, and by some stroke of luck it fits in our Vibrants.

Agreed. I bought one and now using CM7. Same battery life, if not a little better, than what I had on my 1500mah battery running Froyo. love it!

By this i conclude that FROYO has a better battery life?
If this is true, it's surprising. I thought that GB and the ROMs that based on it are superior in battery life to Froyo
which is better... the oem 1800 mah or the momax 2700 mah. i don't care about thickness. im just wondering since momax is kind of a generic battery brand
if one is better then the other please send me a reliable link to it.
You can't pack more mah in the battery without physically making it bigger so anything that claims of over 2000 is a lie.
The cake is a lie.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Cerv3r, I didn't get the impression they where claiming the 2700mAh was no larger than the stock battery. I'm guessing its a double size, and since a normal sized battery can pack as much as 1800, a double could easily pack 2700.

Yes, Froyo is better. Froyo has been officially release for the Vibrant where as we are using a port from the i9000 for GB. So things are not perfect. Correct me if I am wrong...and Ive been wrong before...
Head on over to tridentcase.com and pick up the Electra series case for the Samsung Galaxy S 4g (compatible with Samsung Vibrant). Great looking case that makes your phone look awesome, protects it and comes with a 2800 mah battery. Doesn't add that much bulk either because the Vibrant is already super thin. I get a day and a half easy while using my phone under normal conditions with the battery.

With EB625152VA the original Vibrant back cover can't close
For anybody that is reading this thread, I just tried EB625152VA Epic Touch 4G's 1800mAh battery as many people here have suggested. It fits the socket and battery contacts perfectly. However, it is slightly thicker than the original EB575152LA 1650 mAh which prevents the battery cover from closing properly no matter how hard I tried to force it in. There are back covers that can accommodate this battery and even larger, but for what it's worth, I don't think the additional 150 mAh is worth it.
