Dunno if this was posted before, but it seems the MyTouch 4G (HTC Glacier) uses the same battery as the Thunderbolt. I haven't tried it myself, but a lot of places are selling "Thunderbolt" batteries, when they're just MyTouch ones.
This is good to know if you're shopping around for an extra battery at a good price. I prefer an extra standard battery to the bulky extended one.
Thats a nice find, thanks I'm about to try with my wifes mt4g
Update:
It's alive, it works, you just have to insert it with htc logo facing in, but it works.

Yep when you do a search on Amazon for a battery for the Tbolt it states that it's for the mytouch also.
I opted for the extended battery. I would rather have a bigger battery in the phone than worry about carrying around another battery.
I posted some pics of the extended battery. Not much bigger than my DINC with the extended battery. But the TBolt is a bigger phone all together, But work the screen real estate.

In case you need an extended battery now, I can report success with a Mugen 3200mAh unit that was intended for a Sprint Touch Pro 2. It cost $70 or 80 when I bought it around Christmas time from an eBay vendor (couldn't find it anywhere else online). Turns out the person I got it for had a Touch Pro 1 and this battery was not compatible so it's been sitting around the house ever since. I just popped it into my EVO 4G and it works perfectly as far as I can tell. Boots up normally and is charging as expected. Of course the back plate does not fit over the fat battery so I left that off and replaced the jelly case which stretches over the whole thing well enough.

Hero batteries work also.. a lot of HTC phone's use the same batteries. I have like 4 batteries for my evo lol
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280492889203&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I bought these a while back.. worked great in my hero and work just as good in my evo. Plus now I have a standalone wall-charger. Took about a week or so to get here since its coming from Hong Kong.. But it was well worth the ~$10 for 2 batteries and a charger..
ok, i stole its soul for you.
well im glad i order mine from seidio since it comes with the back case but this is good info so i can pass my oem battery to my wife for hero hero with weak battery life
Lol. Nice evo . It's the humpback of xda.

that is disgusting! but more power to you hahaha...lets hope seidio lets you buy just the ext battery cover
oh sweet mother of god i would feel all grossed out if i tried to handle my phone and it was all squishy at the parts that aren't touching the battery or the frame...
How's the battery life with the 3200? After doing some battery life tweaks and mods mine seems to almost be sufficent with the stocker, but it can always use some improvement.
If you don't mind sacrificing the case, I would try cutting a rectangle in it that would leave the protruding part of the battery exposed and let the case hug the phone the way its supposed to. If you cut it just right, the batt should stay in place since it looks like it has a bit of an edge for the case to grip on to.
I'M starting think I should just cancel my order for the 3500 battery and get me 2 1500. What do you guys think?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm using the battery from my tp2 as a spare, and carry it in the smaller pocket in my jeans,i don't even feel it there sometimes. With battery tweaks and charging it in my car (usually around 30 min at a time), I only have to occasionally change to the 2nd battery. If you are sensitive to bulk, then go for 2 batteries to split the load, otherwise a bigger battery is more convenient.

Given some of the results from BatteryBoss, I'd say that the battery isn't going to perform at a full 3500mAh. It will still be more than an OEM battery, sure, but I couldn't justify doubling the size of the phone to put it in. You might be better off getting another OEM battery, HTC seems to give about 99% of what they say.
if that site batteryboss is accurate then Mugen's batteries are crap. twice the size for 50% more juice. however, some anecdotal evidence to the contrary: after buying the wrong one, i bought another Mugen extended battery that does work for the TP1 and the recipient is very happy with it. reports that the 3200mAh it lasts about twice as long as the OEM battery.
probably smart to just get another HTC 1500mAh. after the latest update battery drain is much less of an issue anyway.

The batteries + charger that was listed earlier in this thread work GREAT I've been using them for a few days now great freaking deal ($10 shippped)
Anyone know if the Tilt battery here will fit the Evo with a modified case / back plate? http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Extended-Li-Ion-Battery-RHOD170/dp/B002Y24MJ2
I know Seidio makes a modified back plate that looks like it would fit this and according to battery boss this is the gold standard of extended batteries.
Also confirmed, the Mugen 4500mAh battery for Sprint Touch Pro 2 works in the Evo as expected. It's very... thick. About as thick as the Evo with a jelly sleeve on. Put together it's like the Evo has it's own little podium to stand on.
Assuming batteryboss tests are accurate then true capacity is closer to 75% or ~3375mAh. Main purpose for me is a power supply that can run GPS tracking apps like Cardio Trainer all day uninterrupted. Thickness not an issue since the whole package is tucked away in a Camelback.
Got it on eBay, I don't know where else to find them. Mugen is OOS and ridiculously expensive anyway. An alternative would be an external battery pack that supplies power through a USB port, then cable it to Evo.
Okay, so some guy that my co-workers know brought in a bag of cellphone chargers and cellphone batteries. There are 3 batteries that fit perfectly in the MyTouch slide, they're htc branded and I'm wondering if they'll be compatible with the MyTouch. I don't exactly know what to look for to tell if they are or aren't compatible.
Whatever you guys need to know that's on the batteries, just tell me and I'll post it.
Two of the batteries are red, so I'm assuming it's from the Droid Incredible and th third battery may be from an older htc phone because the battery says "htc innovation" whereas the red ones say just "htc" and the MyTouch's is also just "htc"
The 3 batteries are all 1500 mAh 5.55Whr Model: RHOD160
The MyTouch's battery is 1300 MAh 4.81Whr Model: BB00100
So from the information I gave you guys, tell me if it is compatible please
Yes they are compatable I've been using a hero battery for a while now

I've got this battery too. Bought it on eBay advertised as a Touch Pro 2 battery. I used it for a little until I realized it's too "thick" for the shallow battery space in the Slide. A few hours of charging that battery in my phone and my battery door seemed to warp a little. From that point on, if I used the stock battery, the door would squeak and creak. I don't use the TP2 battery anymore.

Yeah, the batteries are a bit too big, but by a very little amount. I probably won't use the batteries then since I don't really want my batter door turning out like yours . I guess I'm gonna have to go back to conditioning the stock battery again.

Yeah, it's not worth it. I conditioned my stock battery pretty well (completely dead, charged til light turned green, then 2 additional hours, 5 times) and it's getting awesome life. A full day of texting, calls, web browsing, and an hour or two of Pandora at work, with life to spare, no problem.
I wanna know if the battery with Droid and Droid 2 is the same. Anyone?
Yes, there's a tear down on iFixit. There they mention the batteries are exactly the same rating and completely interchangable.
thanks mate.!

If I left my phone alone, it seems very capable of making it over 24 hours with nothing but text messaging and random phone calls.
It's too bad there's all this Motorola junk on here, the battery manager screen says its suckin' a lot of juice.
Over all, I'm very happy with my battery life. I just ordered a case, once I get it I'm going down to the Verizon store to see if the extended battery will fit. (with the case)
by the way, Google Voice integration on 2.2 is beyond perfect. I hope Verizon never catches on...
I purchased the extended battery from Verizon (1800 mAh) and am very pleased. I listened to podcasts all day (perhaps 6 hours using BeyondPod), had Audible open all day paused on a book, was driving through spotty coverage with antennae likely doing a lot of searching, watched some video and browsed the web, had e-mail retrieving for 3 accounts and ended up with 50%+ battery left at 11 p.m. My day started at 5 a.m.
Coming from an HTC Fuze, this battery life is amazing. As someone who normally works all day away from power, but likes to use a mobile device for entertainment, this thing is perfect. The extended battery from Verizon is worth it, and the slightly bulging door replacement works fine with the current hard cases they're selling.
Does the 1800mah battery work with the stock battery cover?
No.

No - Droid X uses completely different battery.
You can use the droid 2 ext bat with d1, the cover will be bluish. To hide that you can use either the body glove (motdrdpcovbg / mota855covbg) front from D1, back from D2. The red one can also be used in that manner (from vzw). The front from D1, back (with spot for ext batt) from D2

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.
UPDATE: It looks like this battery is not compatible with our MT4G.

Has anyone tried out the Rezound 1620 mAh battery in our MT4G? Apparently it fits in the Thunderbolt which is compatible with ours. Here's the discussion about it in the Thunderbolt forum:

I tried ordering one but it's not taking my cc info right now but thought it might a good deal for you guys. Can't beat an OEM higher capacity battery for $20.
yeah, the anker batteries can give you an extra 1/2hr juice..If your phone was still under warranty htc will replace it for free including charging cables, i just got a new battery from htc yesterday am still under manufacturer warranty.
what exactly is an anker battery? and is the rezound battery an improvement over stock mt4g battery? thanks!
ordered mine, bought my phone on release day could use a fresh battery,
Ordered one as well, but got it shipped to the house, it will be a week before a see it.
1620 vs 1400 is a nice boost, plus this battery is over a year old, time for a refresh.

Yes, anker batteries can be an upgrade, as for what an anker battery is, there is no specific definition as to what it is, it's basically a high quality optimized battery, safe, it's very well tested/ extensively tested unlike the manufacturer batteries, and they can last you longer than the manufacturer battery say an extra 1-4 hours of heavy to light uses.

thank you so much for the replies guys. didnt mean to sound like a whinny brat. Would you guys recommend it over the rezound battery?
Yes.. anker manufacture, and its there brandname.. as for. Battery recommendation. First off.. you can get the anket As a backup. But if you already have a battery and its under manufacturer warranty you can ask them for another. Tell them something believable its free of charge. cable and battery are cover under manufacturer warranty. so if you don't feel like buying a battery just ask them for another battery. Again I would recommend anker battery.

Yup not compatible
Ok did some testing with my friends tbolt. His battery works fine in the mytouch and the rezound battery works fine in the tbolt. I also noticed the rezound battery in the mytouch while trying to charge the led flashes green to orange like the battery is over heated. The only assumption i can make is that htc used a new battery temp sensor that the mytouch cant read and the tbolt can. I also read in the tbolt forums that the oem battery will not turn on the rezound. Oh well he said he will buy my battery for 15 dollars, at least it not a total loss. Back in search of battery, maybe ill give the anker a shot. Also the op needs to change the thread title to include not compatible.

just talked to htc, he refered me to tech and hardware repair dept closed right now. ill call in the morning, although he did ge me some info about a aftermarket batttery that caused damage to a phone which leads me to believe that htc changed something in the batteries. also he directed me to shop htc america to get a stock battery for the mytouch and its listed as 1500mah but they are back ordered and dont know when they will be in stock. http://shopamerica.htc.com/accessories/productdetail.htm?prId=38913
it could be a kernel issue. coming from the HD2 where they had to write a ton of kernel code, there were some kernels that were compatible with the extended battery and others that werent. just an idea
thanks for the info, will look into the anker battery.
