It says that the seller is shipping from Texas and the batteries are from China (of course) and that they will soon have additional case models for the pregnant battery.
Interesting.
Someone be a guinea pig ! !

Includes the battery and door !
I don't see how that would work on a captivate...
The actual one for the Captivate doesn't go on sale till the 15th of January. The guy selling them has one on his testing it out right now. It doesn't look like the pictured ones.
You have to be careful with these low cost chinese batteries. I got burned when I bought an extended life battery for my acer laptop. Acer wanted $150 for an 8 cell battery but found one on ebay for $65. So I jumped all over it. It charged fine and worked great...one time. The first time I used it I got like 4.5-5 hours on one charge which was correct as I got about 2 hours on the 4 cell stock battery. But the battery only lasted for about 4 or 5 charge cycles and by 10-15 charge cycles it wont even last 1 hour. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for.

I just bought two PoweGen Premium batteries for my X10 (they are actually labelled X1). I am extremely happy w/ these batteries. I believe that they actually last longer than my original X10 battery. I bought them thru Amazon for about $24 each.

Actually i bought at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah when on my visit there. I dont know where to find this battery at KL but sure KL got more choices and cheaper.
Now its been 1 day 16 hours since unplugged. Pretty heavy use. Lots of calls, sms, poweramp, etc.. Just finish 3 hours straight youtube & browsing using wifi and still got 30% juice.

found a nice bundle pack on ebay today, 12 dollars, comes with screen protectors which ill never use, a usb cable which is always handy, and more importantly, 2 spare batteries, 2 capacitive touch pens and external battery charger!
ive bought these chinese bundle packs before, the batteries work fine, cant tell a performance difference, the charger will charge the battery up to 70% faster than the phone can, but after that, it takes like 24 hours for the next 30% to fill up.. but blah, im really only buying it for the batteries

Yeah have fun, i wonder who will be the first dead.
exploding in your ear, while holding it in your hand, pwnd
unlikely, but who knows?
And who want to be the first to make this experience ?
I've always been reluctant to buy cheapo batteries on ebay for a reason.
In my Blackberry days (when I was a hardcore BBer) I could see the difference even if they said that they were OEM. They were copies of OEM, with printed lables that looked just like them. If the battery costs less than 20 euro (or lets say 25 USD) WITHOUT shipping OR it's coming from China, then I'd say no to it just to be safe. I just spent a lot of money on my phone. I'm not going to have it explode or have a battery leak into my phone just to save 10 euros.
My first and last aftermarket battery for my Nokia actually turned from white to yellow from the heat of charging and started bulging after a few months. After that experience, I decided to never risk my phone just to save a few dollars on batteries. After all, the battery is the lifeblood of the phone!
Found this, what do you guys think? trust worthy? waste of money? great deal? faked reviews? not sure. opinions please

I just bought one of these. Been using it since Monday. Not sure about it yet, still bedding it in. Today is my first usage after a full discharge cycle.
Yesterday I discharged the battery as fast as possible by running stability test and I still managed to get 5 hours screen time.
Will update at the end of this cycle.

Please keep me up to date with how your usage goes. would mean a lot. very curious about this battery.
Ok still not sure about this yet. I've now done 2 full discharge cycles by draining the battery as fast as possible. I ran stabilitytest again last night and ended up with 5.5 hours screen time with 14 hours off charger. Charged it overnight and bump charged it a few times.
Today I'm going to see how it fares with normal use. Not very impressed so far though as I'm at 83% battery with 49 minutes screen time and 5 hours off charger. Light usage today with a few hours of music through wired headphones. Maybe the battery % isn't calibrated properly and it'll drop slower as it approaches midline, who knows.
Will keep updating.
I know someone with it and he said it barely lasts 20% longer than standard battery, so guess that means around 2500mah
Conclusion after 6 days and 5 cycles is that I'm getting about 25% more than stock. Not great but I got it for a tenner inc delivery so can't complain.
Shame we can't get the hyperions in the UK. Would love to get my hands on one of those.
Actually starting to like this battery. Getting decent results now.

Hey guys, this august i will be celebrate second aniversary of wfs :laugh: Now i using CM 10.1 Owl Project. Every night before sleeping i plug charger. Then i woke up afternoon and i go outside. While i outside battery draining so fast. Even im not using much phone, only i open 3G and i put in my pocket. About 3 hours my battery shows %30-%40. Is it normal or my battery is dead? Sorry for my bad english.
Edit:
Also brightness at low.
A two year old phone having such a battery life is normal(My WFS is also 2 years old :laugh......if you want to,you can buy a replacement battery...I currently have a 1500 mah battery,but it's still isn't enough
So my advice would be to buy a battery with an even higher capacity,if you think of buying one

In all seriousness though. csoulr666 is right. Time for a new battery. Don't buy one from HTC though. They charge so much for a crappy battery.

Hi, guys.
I've just replaced phone's battery with this "HSABAT 3800mAh" ... Everything is ok but I'm guessing the battery percentage info in system is adjusted to old 2300mAh value. I'm using AICP Oreo.
What I need to do in order to get accurate battery data??
Thank you in advance :fingers-crossed:
I think you have noticed by now that it all works without any additional settings.
However - i do not think the new battery is 3800 mAh - at least not in this phone (voltages). The battery tech has not evolved so much during these few years and the battery compartment physically does not allow so much energy. (you need to have certain amount of chemicals for any Ah).
Everything is OK, except for battery life... I guess this "HSABAT 3800mAh" was a rip-off.

I'm not sure if I should try another replacement battery.
It's a shame be forced to say goodbye to this nice device because of this.
Just buy a genuine battery, they are available on the internet (about $15-20). I have replaced my battery twice with full success.
Just stop and think a little bit before buying. Original battery is 2300mAh and your fake one is 3800mAh. How on earth you can pack almost double capacity into the same size battery? The same chemistry gives the same capacity in the same size. Simple. Forget about 3800mAh and if it holds charge properly just use your phone. Probably you still have 2300mAh in it.

You can use your current battery if it holds charges properly e.g. no sudden drop from 50% to 0%. I got my battery a year ago from this shop and it works fine https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32870459998.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1ec633edTwqvQZ
