Battery Feedback

New Thunderbolt user Still have my DINC.. I don't think I can let this thing go.
I need some clarification:
Can the EVO battery and door work on the thunderbolt?
Has anyone tried the 3500 MAH battery from the EVO on the Thunderbolt?
Are all the HTC battery's inter-changable? I have the 3500 mah battery on the incredible does anyone know if that would work?
Does anyone have a good link to the best battery out there high maH...
I know there is a 4500 mah that is just ugly anything lower that anyone has had experience with would be good information.

I don't think EVO batteries work if I remember correctly from another thread. Check out the HTC 2700mah battery, not as big and ugly as the 3500mah one. Hope this helps!

get the default verizon extended battery, it adds some weight and girth, but the phone last all day even using it all day(in a retarded, i don't work at work fashion).

I believe the only HTC phone that has a compatible battery is the HTC my touch 4g. I purchased the OEM extended battery that VZW sells and love it.

The MT4G batteries do work I believe. As far as the batery goes just get the 2750 extended battery that Verizon carries. It lasts a while for me I love having it! Well worth the money!

+1 here, the VZW 2750 is a beast, and there are a few cases that fit it now also.

honestly i have had no problems with the stock battery. i get 14 hours (the time im actually awake) out of my phone every day with 30% left every day. i use it moderately, mostly wifi use and gps use. im running lts and lean kernel.

Evo batteries will not work on the device. I also recommend the Verizon store HTC extended battery it'll last the whole day. Get a seidio case if you want to add protection.

Go with the OEM HTC 2750, it's the best out there.

Ummm yeah no, even from looking at Evo 3d batteries on the internet you can clearly see they are not the correct shape and are square vs the rectangular shape on the Thunderbolt.

I have the 1750mAh slimline but found through some testing that it doesn't last appreciably longer than the stock battery. I also have the VZW extended battery for use on long trips.

I have the Verizon extended battery with the Verizon extended battery hard case with slide in clip and I love it, it really isn't that much bulk I barely notice it anymore. And my battery life was dramatically improved I went from half a day to 2days with a good amount of usage. Yesterday I charged it fully and worked from 11-8, used it for a few texts not much usage tho and had 94 percent left.

Clearly the writing on the outside of these batteries are lies, since they do not last as long as they should.
However, for the cheap price - it does supply you with those extra critical hours you might need.
Also, the charger is very handy and also works with the stock battery! (hopefully does no harm!)

I ordered a 3600mAh battery from eBay last week. I don't suppose you have tried one of those yet have you?

Didn't see this one! No I haven't tried it.
Upon receiving yours, I suppose you should calibrate it using Battery Left (there's a free version) and I could add it to this thread for others to use as a reference?

Heey Navalynt!! Good to see you here man, rocked a couple of your mods for the Atrix!
About this battery, do you seriously expect it to make a difference? You won't be able to fit any case on the phone either. On the other hand, 16$ isn't the end of the world..
(Also, how do you charge them both, suppose you'll need a cradle of some sort?)

Thanks for posting, never did think these sketchy batteries were any good.

I ordered a 2 billion mAh battery from a Chinese located eBay seller, it doubles as a car battery too. Should probably last an extra 30-40 seconds longer than my OEM 1750 mAh battery from Samsung.

Re calibrating the 1900mAh battery today, will post updated stats later.

Added the re-calibration of the 1900mAh. First reading wasn't bogus, the battery lasted even less second time round! ~6 hours!

So in other words, whatever it's rated at, cut it in half if its cheap crap.

Any chance you going to do the Official Extended Battery for GSM?

I will probably order one in the future but not immediately. However I would appreciate if someone calibrated their extended battery and posted a BatteryLeft screen here, as it would most likely incline me to buy one quicker!!

Maybe I missed it, but can someone link me to the official Samsung GNex GSM battery? I just want a spare of the original.

Thanks for the review. The 1900 mah battery stats are an eye opener. I ordered the 2300 mah battery, when it comes I will provide feedback if you haven't already by that time. Hopefully its better than the stock gsm battery. lol

Has anyone tried these extended batteries? The 1900mah Anker batteries are popular for the Evo 3D but I just did a search in this forum and couldn't find anything.

i have one but not in an evo,i have an htc glacier and my battery las 2 h longer that the stok ****ty one

A few folks in the office here got them for the Evo's and one let me try it for a few days. HUGE improvement over the crap stock battery. I would definitely recommend it.

I think that I might try one myself, did you get this battery yet?

My friend ordered it but has not received it yet. I use the same brand in my Evo 3D and it's noticeably better than stock.

I replaced my original evo 4g battery that was over two years old with this one and I noticed a big differents in battery life. Also only payed $15 for 2 battery's and a wall charger off eBay.

I just posted a thread about these actually, I highly recommend, amazing batteries.

I've been using one of these (bought the 2 pack with charger) for roughly 6 months, and have been very pleased with it.
I can't confidently say that it is much better than a NEW stock battery, but considering my stock battery was over a year old, the Anker definitely improved my battery life, vs the stock old one.
I was hesitant about buying a non OEM battery, but I'm very pleased with mine, and for the cost was well worth it.

I have to +1 these being amazing batteries. Got mine for $13.99 on ebay with a desktop charger. I have gotten 24+ hours out of one charge. Highly recommend it!

I should be getting mine 2 pack with wall charger on monday. Can't wait!!!

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1700mAh...WGJO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1327823527&sr=8-3

Got it in today!!
The charger is interesting, it should fit just about any battery as the prongs will slide left and right, where ever the + and - is on the battery. Then also the bottom part that holds the battery is on a spring and you just pull down the length of the battery.
It charged one of the to 89% pretty fast, probably an hour. Had to take it off for a emergency call.
Ill be able to give a better test soon. I need a fresh flash of CM7 anyways, too much bog and FC's. Probably not good when the main process FC's.

I am still running the same battery that I took off the charger when I made that post. I am at 1 day and 3 hours with 30% left. I haven't really been making any calls, just some txts, most of it was me playing around and flashing different things to make my ICS experience better, using drew's P7. The battery went down fast from 89% till about 60%, but the other battery I got took about double the time to fully charger than with how long this battery has been in my phone. I am excited so far, looks very promising. I think this was a worthwhile purchase, simply for the wall charger, to charge any phone battery!

I'm getting pretty great results with these batteries. I haven't been using my phone too much and lots of idle time. I took a fresh battery off at midnight and went right to sleep. I slept most of the day. When I got up it was at 81 I think after 14 hours. I used my phone here and there for some texts and some small phone calls. I started installing lots of apps and played around with Widgets and settings, it popped down to 59 around that time. I installed juice defender also and I think it only went down a few notches all night till the morning. I haven't done much today besides a couple dozen texts a short and then 20 min call. I'm updating a bunch of apps right now while typing this, its lagging a bit so its slow and took me a few min and lost 1% but I'm also updating 11 apps at once
I am running drews P7, I have been running unvisible tweaks, but I just installed the nifty tweak zip and popped in a fresh battery, so this may be even better battery life now that I got juicedefender and the nifty tweaks. Cant wait to see! Im also thinking about running one of the KANG CM7 roms, as I already got about this with stock battery, I think it could last 3 days if I went back to CM7. God, I can't wait for CM9 and custom kernels!!
Here is what my current up time is.

I'd be interested in buying one of these if it were to legitimately double my battery life but it seems a little too cheap.

Not worth it. Just buy two OEM batteries...
I don't believe in aftermarket batteries from my many experiences of it messing up my phone...it has to do something with the inconsistency of the voltage. That's just me though...
If there is a good reliable aftermarket battery out there I'm open to check it out....

I ordered one should get it by monday the 6th. will test it out and reply with results it was only 20 bucks so my hopes are low but we will see how it turns out

Its be great if this actually worked...especially the slim

stop buying from a non-reputable company...seido or mugen has been doing this for a long time and their product works.

Ehhh been trying this 3650 QCell battery now nothing great this is moderate to heavy usage
Sent from the iPhone° killer

should be not bad given at this price range.

My friend got one of these. Its the same as the 12 dollar GTMax's, no diff from stock really.
Mugen batteries are probably worth the investment if you use your phone that heavily.

that's odd, cuz i got the qcell galaxy nexus one and also a gtmax version. the qcell one last longer than the gtmax one. perhaps it's luck of the draw. I'm going to give this one a try and see how it is

What is your conclusion after using that battery for a month? Is it better that stock one or worse?

I was actually considering to buy this ... but now I think it's not worth it.

I have also ordered one of these and i should have it on the 16th. I am new to xda so my opinion may be shrugged off but i have had my fair share of ext batteries. When i test this battery out i will post my results. I consider myself a power user so you will have results based on heavy use.

experience with qcell 3650mAh
I tried this battery out for about 3 weeks and did get noticbly longer battery life about 23 hours+ with heavy to moderate usage so IMO it was worth it ($10) altough i hated the extended battery cover the battery did keep my phone on relatively longer. only issue after about a month I cant charge the battery with my cable anymore, not sure if its the cable or not so im back to stock.
Extended battery 23-25 hours of heavy usage
Stock battery 12-15 hours of heavy usage
Hope this helps Hit thanks if if does

Battery life on the s2 to me sucks anyway you look at it ..well in my expierence at least. I have a mega so I guess its hard to expect it to keep up.I bought a anker battery for my s2 and it works well but I probably will sell my s2 cause I can't get it to last a full day. Good luck with that battery but from my experience any battery that says it has a bigger mah and same size is a fluke. Mugen is a good company to try if i were you. Cheerz

Have you tried the LAZA batteries? They're AMAZING! Sure it makes the phone have some more heft and make it look a bit bigger but hell! It lasts me a couple days without charging and I haven't even came CLOSE to running down the battery entirely to 0%. Usually I make it through my day with at least 40% when I put my phone to charge at maybe 11:30pm-12am, my day starts at 7:00am.
