HTC OEM Extended Battery Tilt2

I just received my htc oem extended battery and I placed it in and there are no notification lights while charging. Now It is charging while powered on and I can see that in the taskbar above with battery icon, but as far as the hardware light(red or green depending on status) it is not lighting up at all. I know its probably not a rom issue since its an extended battery, but it is the only htc oem extended battery made specifically for the tilt 2. While the phone is off I cannot til if its charging so if there is anything I can do to try and correct it please let me know.

"HTC OEM extended battery"? I have never heard of this. Exactly what brand is this battery and where did you buy it? A lot of battery makers slap the "HTC OEM" label on their batteryies, but they are NOT OEM or HTC.
***EDIT***
OK, I found out that the AT&T ships has an OEM larger battery. Is this the standard shipped battery, or does one have to buy it?

I actually reported my battery because it died and wouldnt recharge. Thats the one they sent me. Genuine HTC Branded Extended Battery Replacement. It doesnt come with the back battery cover though. The old one doesnt fit. Its 19.99 for the battery cover. I think to buy the battery its 49.99 on AT&t's Site.

Oh, OK. I've seen that one for sale. How thick is the replacement cover?

I havent received it yet..heres a link! http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Extended-Battery-Cover-74H01529-01M/dp/B002Y1Z2EC

I have been using the HTC OEM Extended Battery for the past month. Other than longer battery life and the thicker case, I can detect no difference. The charging light still lights properly. I am running the official AT&T/HTC ROM.

That just may be the prob because of the custom rom.

Because who wants to run around with three batteries in their pockets?

I wouldn't buy from those manufacturers if I were you. Check out batteryboss.org. Some guy evaluated those battery capacity claims and a lot of them are flat out lies.

I have been a Seidio customer for years and have always being very pleased with their extended battery solutions for all my devices. My experience is that they did extend the battery life of my devices significantly. Without a reputable protocol and some raw data I will trust my previous experience over "some guys" who did "some tests".

Sorry to tell you this, but...
http://batteryboss.org/ These guys are testing a variety of aftermarket batteries for their true capacities, and the one you purchased is included n their test. They only got 1100 mAh out of the actual battery, under the name TP2 Andida, new in their chart.
Good thing you only spent ten bucks, though.

No kidding, the TP2 battery fits? That's the EXACT same battery the hero uses!!
Luckily, I bought two of them, and just got a TP2 as my work phone. That means I suppose, that I have four batteries
btw, those batteries probably aren't 2000mA, but they're nearly as good if not a little better than stock, and for ten bucks each, not too bad.
EDIT - Duh, I see you said you got it from the Hero forums.

Seidio hasn't released their 3500 mAh extended battery for the Evo yet. I'm patiently waiting, as I bought that battery for my hero. I went from charging every day, to every other day.

I like what they did with the rear door. I hope they bring out a hard-case to also work with this battery. To keep it then, they could just cut out the back of the case in the middle where the battery extrudes. The rear cover will provide significant protection anyways.

the seidio batteries are awesome but they are worthless if you dont have the extended case that goes with it.. id just wait for the 3500mah for the evo instead of the one for the eris cause your gonna have the case problem

I wish they would add two more mm to the battery and do 4500mah because at that point the little bit of bulk added doesn't really matter.
/b

i wonder how hot that 3500 will get, i'd rather the 1750 and not change the dynamics of the back case.
apparently only a couple of the batteries on batteryboss come close to their rated mah, i wonder what the evo 1500mah will come in as....

what is the biggest mAh you can buy without changing the back cover? I like my EVO thin.

I believe the highest mah you can get while keeping the evo slim is the 1750 by Seidio. But for 40+ dollars I dont think an extra 250 is worth it

I just wish they would make the battery 1-1.5mm thicker and add whatever they can to that... Then we wouldn't have to change the back.
*Here's where I am horrified to find out I am the only one who's battery cover doesn't really fit on the phone*

Id just wait for the charging case thats comming out.

I wonder if the 2150mah OEM for the TP2 will fit into the evo, and I wonder how much the case will have to be extended. It is the only battery that tests at 100%.

Will the 1350 battery for the Eris work on the evo? I know the capacity is smaller, but will it fit and work?

Seidio 3500mah question

If I remember correctly the stock battery from the TP2 and the hero works in the Evo. My question is this. I have 2 3500mah batteries that I got for my hero. Is this battery the same dimensions as the 3500mah battery that seidio makes for the Evo? I am trying to figure out if I can just order the extended battery backplate for the Evo and use that with the 2 batteries I already have or do I need to order a different battery as well.

I could of swore the dimensions were posted on seidios site.
EDIT: I guess not. I can take measurements with my caliper (in mm) if that will help?

I sent an email to seidio asking for them. I will see if they respond.
UPDATE: I just chatted online and was told that the dimensions were the same for both batteries. So I just need to order a battery cover since bought the 3500mah battery for my hero only a couple of months ago.

Battery Choices

So, I have been looking all over the various stores (Sprint, Radio Shack, Ebay, Seidio), I bought a standard battery (the same mAh as my stock battery). The battery I purchased has about the same batter life (as expected about 6-9 hours depending upon usage of games and data) Looking over the extended life battery options I dont quite understand the claims.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bacy35hev4-bk.htm
This is a 3500mAh battery and has "double the capacity of the original battery"
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17hev4.htm
This is a 1750mAh battery, it's not listed the capacity.. but my stock battery is 1500mAh so it cannot be by much.
http://cgi.ebay.com/3500mAh-Extende...Accessories&hash=item483d837c7f#ht_4076wt_905
This is a 3500mAh battery, it comes with a battery cover I would imagine that it's similar to the Seidio battery as far as in the capacity
has anyone tried the extended batteries off of ebay, do they work well.. and do the battery covers hold up well?
Any suggestions of extending battery life? I keep my wifi turned off, dimmed my screen, and a few other things.
Right now I am thinking of just getting a battery charger and just swapping between the two batteries.. it would just be a hassle taking my case and battery cover on and off every day.

check out http://batteryboss.org/ first to see where those batteries really stand.
there is also an 1800 mah at http://www.htcexpress.com/ that was supposedly tested to be 1700 mah.
that woud make it the best battery around, but i bought one and it seemed worse than the stock battery.
sprint also now has a 2600 mah with extended back. i don't know if anyone has tested it yet.

i purchased the ebay 3500mah with cover and also the OEM HTC extended battery for the TP2
HTC model no. RHOD170
. works great and according to battery boss it is the best extended battery ratings wise.
i got the battery for OEM HTC extended battery for18 bucks on ebay. so you have have two batteries and a better looking cover for half the price of the seidio battery.
however, i cant seem to get the battery status to show up correctly on the oem battery display but it does show up on "battery status" app

Batteryboss.org was a lot of help! honestly i think the best bet for me would be the cheap one from ebay that i mentioned.. the bad news is that it doesnt seem that they have tested it yet... so I think ill keep my eye open and wait on it

Extended battery for the EVO on eBay 3000 mah
This is a way better buy. The battery life rocks. The door is rubberized and a really nice feel/texture. Moretalktime has 100% feedback and has them in stock in USA.

[Q] Is there better way to solve extended battery problem?

HI
I will get my TB in next few days. (thank god, I finally get rid of my Droid 2)
the more thread I read, more thoughts in my mind. So I need some good advice.
I'm a real heavy user. (surf on net, GPS nevigation......etc)
I want to extend the time I use my TB. So I'm going to get some extended batteries for sure. BUT problem is.....what kind of batteries is good for me?
OEM batteries or seidio brand? And what Mah should I get?
Does oem batteries cause bad influence? (like my TB wont have normal function in the future)
And If I get some extended batteries, I will get the cover for it as well.
Will it cause the signal reception?
Yep, I know my problem is dumb. Cause I can't really accept any smart phone can't last a full day sage. (like my droid 2)

I use the HTC 2750 battery, and i get through all day fine. on light usage i get down to about %70 on heavy down to %40ish.
Be weary of OEM batteries with extended covers, ive heard some do not have the antenna built in. The radio signal antenna is located in that cover, so if you get one that is missing the antenna, you will have no service.

I would recommend the HTC extended battery.

To the OP - I've been using the HTC b2750 and case for a while, but I'm getting tired of its bulk and switching back to the stock phone battery and a spare.
With the TBolt and most of my other phones, I just slip a spare stock sized battery into the pocket of my wallet and swap batteries mid-day if I'm not any place where I can get some boost charges during the day. The batteries on the Thunderbolt are very thin; I really don't notice one in my wallet.

Doesn't OEM mean "Original Equipment Manufacturer"? That would mean an OEM product is one made by HTC, whether it's sold under HTC's name or another 3rd party's brand name.
Either way, the advice is sound, make sure you're getting a quality product that has all the working parts. I recently bought some 3rd party spare batteries for the Nexus S that were labelled as 1400mah (like the OEM) but when you peeled off the 3rd party label the batteries were only 1100mmah! Always buy from a reputable dealer.

I wear a clip holster and bought the extended battery along with the seidio extended battery case. Perfect match up for me.

I would choose the OEM HTC extended battery. I have it now and I get by all day on it. Usually by 10 pm, I'm around 30%.
I've had a Seidio extended battery for the Incredible and wasn't impressed by it. I believe it was the 1750 mah? While the stock was around 1400, I couldn't tell a difference between the two.

The best thing you could do is to root it and run dad bamf stripped v1.1. I use the stock kernel and get 2 to 3 times the battery life as stock, Imoseyon's lean kernel with battery saver may even give better battery life but I haven't tried it yet.

I'm going back and forth between the Seidio 3200 and the HTC 2750. I think I'm going to get the HTC 2750 battery tomorrow... I just hate the face that after spending $250 on a phone I have to spend another $50 to get close to the battery life specs posted on HTC and VZW's websites...

Most people in this section will say get the HTC battery. I'm actually going to probably get a mugen power slim battery. I've been looking up on them and they seem to be pretty good.

If you are a heavy user, you will love the 2750 HTC Extended battery, I got it, would say i'm a moderate to heavy user, and i can get 30-40 hours out of it. I love it

I initially didn't like the bulk of the 2750 extended battery especially after putting the seidio active case on it but after playing around with the stock battery I now prefer the contour fit in my hand with the extended battery. The biggest downsize now is the weight. This thing is heavy but well worth the weight.
My advice is to order it from verizon. Call up and request a discounted price, I paid 20 for mine.
Sent through the interwebs.

I would go with the HTC 2750.... I got it and it comes with the contacts for antenna

1700 battery
I ordered a 1700 battery that fits in orignal back. It is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'll let everyone know the results...

Do not use trash batteries. Stick with OEM batteries made by HTC. The 2750mah battery is fine.

I purchased a 3500 battery from Amazon with the cover and it does NOT have the antenna in the cover. I get a 3G signal but no 4G. Sending it back today.

i got one on ebay for $10, the pictures indicated it has the metal contacts in the battery cover. hong kong express mail, delivery july 15th at the soonest -_____-

OEM 2750 for sure. Like some of the other people in this thread have stated, third party batteries just have risks associated with them, and the potential benefits usually aren't worth it.
But if you do decide that the OEM one is too much, just make sure you don't get the ebay offbrand batteries. Most ebay batteries that are advertised as "extended" and sound too good to be true (i.e., 3 batteries at 1800mAh + charger for < $20) usually are, and have actually less capacity than stock.

After a few days.......
I start with stock battery in the beginning.
Gingeritis rom installed. Battery was really bad for first 2 days.
Lost 10% per hour.That's bad.
After 2 full days usage, battery life gets better, It can last half day.
Today. I got my htc oem battery from verizon.
Amazing battery life. 100% for sure.
I think there should be no problem with battery life now.
My TB is really great now.
the reason why I choose 2750 battery is you guys can see that the cover get more dmg with times you open (switch battery). So I deside not to open it too often. I think it is a right choice now.
BTW, before you go to eaby, go to verizon store, give them your accout to check discount. ebay doesnt mean the lowest price. I got my battery+cover with 40+tax.

or you can save some money and just buy a bunch of cheaper batteries off of amazon or ebay, they will be the same capacity as the standard battery but you will have more
