High capacity battery?

Anyone find a high capacity battery they could recommend? Did you need a new back cover? If so where did you get it or did you just go without a back cover?

I was hoping to get a recommendation on one of the 2000mah batteries, but if I could win it cheaply, it'd be worth checking out. Maybe I'll buy one of those wall chargers too. I could easily carry the extra battery in my wallet.
Thanks!

I never saw a 2000mah battery. I want to let you know, don't expect what you see in the picture. Those 1500mah ones are probably unbranded. It doesn't make a difference, as long as they work, I guess.

Just won the auction and got them for 9.50 plus 4.99 shipping. The ones pictured appear unbranded as well. They don't say HTC. And if they aren't actually yellow, it doesn't matter. Until someone makes a clear back plate, no one will see.
Thanks again!!

I'm a lil weary of those cheap non branded extended life batteries. If you go on amazon and read some of those reviews the users complain about this batteries not working after a certain amount of recharge cycles. The best off brand to trust has been seidio. Other than that just go oem. With a price that low it sounds like you could end up spending another $9.50 in a couple more months. Now, I love my ebay but that sounds too suspect.

This is the seller's exact response when I asked him about returns.
'you can return it anytime if you done think the battery is what you exoected
but you will need to pay to ship it back
thank you'
I'm weary of buying them too, but he did say I can return 'anytime' and I plan on holding him to that word. If I get them, I'll test them with a voltmeter each week and ship them right back. Even if it's 6 months later haha.

Well I got them already... They seem to last longer than the stock battery. Who knows if it will last, but they are good now.
Glad I made the purchase.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

How much longer we talking about? Just a couple hours?

Yeah... Just a couple hours. I'm not saying it is significantly better than OEM. I'm just saying it will work great as a backup. I also got a wall charger so one battery will be kept in my wallet as a backup and I will charge them both each night.

The reviews I've seen on these cheap batteries always seem to indicate that they aren't actually what they say they are rated, and testing shows that they don't last as long as the OEM batteries.

After a few days of use, I do not see much difference between stock 1200 and this 1700. Only payed 9.99 with free shipping, so not bad for a spare battery.

Don't believe the hype. It's pretty hard to make a battery with a higher capacity that is cheaper and is the same physical size. These batteries are compressed into these small packages and to increase the capacity without using more cells or larger cells, would constitute using more exotic materials, which would cost more. At best, these batteries are equal to OEM, but most are lower grade knock offs. The best application for any of these batteries is backup use

I bought 2 1500's for $20 off of Ebay.and yes i do see about about 2-3 difference with them.. no its not much of a difference but they do actually work.. so the hype is real..

i've always been wary of buying batteries, particularly laptop batteries, online.
ie safety/actual capacity/quality
is there a similar issue for phone batteries?

Any special way to condition a new extended battery?

Just recieved my 2800 mah extended battery. Should i do anything special besides draining and fully charging.

No that is terrible advice. Charge cycling Li-Ion batteries destroy them, not increase battery life.
@OP: The only thing you need to do is make sure you let the phone charge for 7-8 hours after you put in the battery. After that, no conditioning is required. However, if at a later date you notice your Vibrant is not properly reading the battery (i.e. it goes from 100->90 really quickly, but goes from 90->80 more slowly, etc.), you will need to calibrate the battery to your device by completely draining the battery and charging it. Take note that this charge cycle will not increase battery life -- it will only make your Vibrant read the battery properly.

BTW Would it be possible for you to take picture of how much fatter the battery makes your phone?

Where did you buy this battery from? Looking to get my hands on a good one.

Vibrant BiONYX 3.1/ brama

I got it from ebay and it fits perfect. If you have patience you can order through the seller below. Im in north florida and it took almost 3wks to get to me. Theres also another seller from US but he wants $30 for the exact same battery. He claims that the batteries from china are crap, he is lying. This is the seller he orders them from.

Greatest investment ever. I might be able to take pictures tomorrow. Currently my battery is at 40% and have been running for 1day 3hr 17mins as of this post. And an app im using batteryleft from Eugenes r11 stats time left is 11hrs.
Under battery use through the settings. Displays at 60%, Voice calls at 40%, Cell Stand by is at 20% Phone idle at 5%, and I made a mistake leaving wifi on all day.
Size is really a personal preference. I adds the needed weight to the phone, and makes it extremely easy to hold. The Vibrant with original cover/battery would slip out of my hands when it was naked and the rubberize battery cover solves that.
I use my phone for music in my car and at work through default music app/slacker/pandora and now I can lay my phone on its back and the speaker is not blocked.
Ive had all my friends, coworkers etc look/hold it and they all like the way it feels and that it fits perfectly in your hand. All in all, im someone who is always playing with my phone and now I getting a little more then double the battery life.
My usually day:
20+ 5min phone calls
Playing angry birds throughout the day
20+emails
15-20txt
web surfing/tapatalk/xda app
watch some youtube
listen to music at work/car 3-4hrs
wasnt connected by wifi was on for most of the day
My Main reason for getting the extended battery-3g on ALLDAY
extended battery+r11 great battery life.

pictures, sorry there from my girls iphone4. Bic lighter for size comparison. Most people who consider phones bricks feel like moto razr to me. Not for folks that wear skinny jeans lol. BUt as big as it looks its truly not that bad. I will probably buy an extended battery with every future phone I buy. I was one who always thought ext batteries were ugly but now I am a believer.
If you dont have the patience, this is the same battery but always us sellers have to make a profit. He orders from guy above. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130448289815&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT

OEM1500 v Seidio1750 v Mugen1800?

Which battery do you prefer?
According to http://batteryboss.org/ the OEM 1500mAh is the best.
I just wanted to see what the users have to say, I am assuming I will get a responses of each person claiming theirs is great. I am looking for someone who may has had one or two of these and their opinion.
Either way just looking for opinions before I buy...

Wow I got all mixed up.
I was thinking of "HTC Incredible 2150mAh Extended battery"
- post edited.
I'm guessing you're looking for a battery that doesn't increase bulk?
The options available aren't much better than stock sadly :/
Depending how old your current battery is and how much stress you've put on it by draining all the way or bump charging, getting any new battery you may see better battery life. Still would suggest the HTC Extended, but just my opinion

I have the Seidio battery and of course the stock battery. I can't imagine how they could say the stock battery is best. My Seidio greatly outperforms stock, and does so consistently. I can usually get between ten and twelve hours out of it under moderate to heavy use. As for the other battery you mentioned, I can't comment on it since I have no experience. I'm curious to hear what others have to say though. I've never heard of it but I'm always looking to squeeze a little more quality time from my phone. Anyway, I wont say mine is best but, I can say, honestly, that you wouldn't be disappointed with the purchase.
Edit: With regards to cases, Seidio's Innocase line is excellent. They slide on end to end for easier battery changes and they're 1mm thin but very solid. And +1 on the custom kernel. SETCPU as well (if you're rooted.)

They are saying OEM incredible batter is better, they are saying the OEM Evo battery is better. Inc comes with 1300mAh, Evo comes with 1500mAh.
They also said the 1750 only uses 79% of its capacity, meaning your only getting 1382mAh...
But if your happy that is good to know, improvement from current stock battery.

I have to wonder if they bump charged any of the tested batteries for the Dinc. I haven't read the article yet but I will when I get a Chance. But, as you may know, a known issue with the Dinc is its inability to fully charge its batteries without unplugging, powering off, then plugging in again. If not, you're battery will truly only have about 80% charge.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

You shouldn't bump charge, it kills the battery quickly.
They have that feature to keep the battery more stable and last longer.
It charges it to ~90% (you'll see it drop from 100% to around 90% very quickly once you first unplug it) and cuts off at ~10% (when phone shows 0%).
It's how Li-Ion batteries work and you really shouldn't manipulate it so you get more unless you are wanting to buy a new battery every month.
If you keep doing that you will start getting worse performance bump charging than people who have been regularly charging for much longer than you have been bumping.
Just a suggestion though.

Thanks for the info POQbum. I wasn't aware of that. After reading so much about how the Dinc needed to be bump charged, I guess I just assumed it was ok and didn't have negative effects on the battery. But I do have to say, I've been charging that way since September without any noticeable issues. Battery life is still great and haven't replaced any batteries. If anything, my battery life seems to have improved. For the first time today, i was able to go ten hours on my stock 1300. Maybe its CM7. Anyway, I'm in no way trying to say you're wrong though because what you say makes sense. I'm simply sharing my own personal experience with these batteries.

I recommend the Seideo 1750. The Seideo cells are Japanese compared to the stock HTC Chinese cells. I get at least 3-5 more hours of battery compared to the stock one.

That batteryboss link is still flying? The 1750 is definately a step above the stock. Not sure what that dude has against seidio but keep in mind he is one guy who basically ran one test on one battery iirc. My seidio 3500 will take some serious abuse and still last a day or 2. The 1750 was way way better than stock...I'd say a good 3 hours or so better for me. Anyway the best investment i made was a cheap ebay wall charger so I can just swap in any battery that fits my needs for the day...I switch between stock, cheap knockoffs, the HTC 2100 and the seidio 3500 now, sold the 1750.

True, but the reason why I posted this is because you are buying this from Amazon and not from some other place in Hong Kong via eBay (read faster shipping.... I am getting mine in 4 days as opposed to 2 weeks+ from most vendors in Asia on eBay). Plus, I tend to like Amazon's customer protection a bit better than eBay's tbh.
You are correct also in the fact that there is the thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857957), which talks about the 3500 mAh batteries (as well as a few others) but this one has digressed into a heated debate as to why Seidio wants to profit out of batteries, so posting in there would have been kinda useless.
Truth be told, I am not asking a question about the battery (which is the case for most of the threads that you are referring to), and if I would have had a question, I would have searched for an answer as I always do. I am announcing something that I hadn't seen posted here, which is special (limited time) price for a high capacity battery from a very much trusted online seller. But hey... what do I know... I am only one of the Site's admins...
PS. Next time, please don't flame.

I have not gotten this yet, but the back covers for the 3500 mAh batteries I have seen pics of are not that much bigger... then again, until I don't see one live, I will not trust pics. More than likely, your current case will not work though as the battery is considerably larger to begin with.
Hope this helps.

i'm assuming this means that after you fully charge it...DO NOT put it back on a charger until it is pretty much dead?? Then proceed to charging it back to full??? I would like clarity on this as my battery will be arriving today (which I bought off ebay for $11 from a retailer in Chicago) and it didn't mention that in the listing.

Ceeb thanks for asking the question I was going to ask. As normally I do not fully discharge my battery. But I am curious to hear why. Also everyone is saying use an external charger I have been using my old tp2 for that would that work as well with this battety?
Thunder is the cheap hdmi cable an amazon brand? I bought 3 amazon brand ones for my tuner, blu-ray and tv they worked better then the 60 buck one I had. And they were like 8 bucks.

Glad you posted this.. Keeps me from having to make my own thread... Both my friend and I both purchased this battery.. And we both agree its awesome! Was $13 shipped when we got it. Battery lasts all day no problem, especially once I put Warm2.2 with an SBC undervolting kernel. Cover fits as good as stock and doesn't look obnoxious like the Seidio. It is still bulky, but not too bad.
As far as the charging/draining debate... I did 4 cycles from full to completely drained, and my friend did not (just topped off like normal). I have to say our batteries perform the same. So I'm not sure the charging/draining is necessary. I still say it can't hurt, so I would still do it. As far as the using an external charger, I would say that also isn't necessary. Difficult to get the extended to 100% with the stock ROM, because the phone stops charging once it hits 100% and then charges back up when it drops to 90% (as far as I know). So for that reason, the battery drops from 100% to 92% or so pretty quickly, but then drains slow after that. As I said, I switched to an SBC Kernel and it goes all the way to 100% (4.2Volts) and stays there. Then actually stays at the upper range for a long time, effectively giving you your 8% back.
Overall, this battery is awesome... Highly recommend!

this is the same as china batt i bought from ebay. been using mine for 4 mos now and its still doing good. one full charge lasts like 1 day and 15 hours with 6-7 hours wake time.

I really do not want to mod this phone I have the Sprint warrenty. So it looks like it will still charge so I am excited for days I go and use it for social media pictures, and series radio streaming. Thought I have to figure out my msl so I can fix the streaming stuff.

I am hoping someone guineapigged themselves and can give some feedback. I really want to extend my battery but I must have a case, and we don't have a case for the HTC 2100 yet. Not to mention I read in here somewhere it doesn't add that much life.
Anyone?

I have the extended slim battery from Muegen batteries and love it
Definitely gave me more life than the OE battery
Also ordered their dock with the extra battery slot and couldn't be happier!

The Muegen battery is more than twice as expensive, and out of stock. I'm gonna give the CHICHITEC battery a try. Should get it around Wednesday next week.

Yeah, a battery is something that I would want to skimp out on and get a cheap one, to only have it malfunction and take my device with it
Never heard of that company either
Seidio also has a slim extended 1750mAh: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17htshf.htm

I'm generally careful with the battery situation. I also know that these expensive batteries are needlessly expensive. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on the function of these CHICHITEC batteries, and a lot of pride in the name, but that really isn't saying much.
I'll check it out and report back, though. It's pretty cheap so I don't mind incurring the cost. If it catches me on fire or whatever, I'll be sure to warn against it

I look forward to your review!

I bought those for my Incredible and use them for my Incredible 2. They're really great they even gave me a coupon for htcexpress.com code OFF10 for 10% ill assume its the same people from Amazon. There are a few problems. There is a small gap on the right side since the battery is bigger and you have to drain your battery until its dead for it to charge efficiently. From my experience I get 24 hours that's two nights just the screen off before root.

Any word on that nimdae?

I literally just received it, so I can't review its capacity...
However, I can confirm its fit is not perfect. It is slightly thicker than the stock battery, and this is enough to make the cover bulge on one side. I removed the red label and this allowed it to close enough for my taste. I could probably shave the cover to get a better fit, but eh, not worth the potential damage.
Note: removing the red label exposes a metal cover. More than likely this is not connected to any circuitry nor chemical in the battery so it should be safe to handle and use. However, if you are not comfortable with exposing a metal cover like this, then don't take the label off.
It came charged a little over half full. It's charging now, we'll find out tomorrow how well it works.
I went ahead and dumped a bad review on amazon for the poor fit. Others may not be as comfortable with modding things as I am.

Sorry I'm acting like a kid. I have issues with delayed gratification.
Thanks for the quick reply, I look forward to hearing how you like it in the coming days.

Unless the capacity blows me away, I'll likely return to the stock battery. Yeah, the gap is tiny, but it's stressing the cover. This will wear over time.

You must be running with scissors. I mean running naked...

I'm never not holding scissors when I run.

It's advertised as 1900. I'm not giving it my typical daily commute drain due to having to stay home and wait for A/C repair man in 100+F degree weather (today's high: 103F).
I'll try to put it through its paces once I get a chance.
Edit: I'm running a stream right now that I'd typically listen to on my commute. I have an idea of the amount of drain that should happen so I can compare off of that. It'll take some time.

So far I'm not really impressed with this battery. I would expect the percentage drain would be lower, but it's about the same, if not slightly higher. I'll give it a few more days, if it remains this way, I'm switching back to my HTC battery.

Did you experience an increase in battery life after the first couple weeks with you OEM battery like I did? If so, would you expect the same "break-in" period with these?
Also, do you know of a way to reset the battery stats without root?

Calibration is the only sure way. Which is why I'm giving this more time. I've continued streaming for the past approximately 2 hours over 3G and I'm at 55%. I'm going to continue draining to see where it stops. I may go ahead and push for a bump charge for recalibration and see if I'm just seeing stats for a lower capacity battery.

On the first full charge I got a little over 5 hours of 3G streaming. This is pretty disappointing considering the stock battery can do the same. I am overclocking, but running on the conservative governor, so it shouldn't have been pushing the CPU all the way up (DI.FM streaming shouldn't be THAT CPU intensive). The display was off the majority of the time to emulate how I would actually use it in this situation.
MORE TESTING NEEDED!
I'll do another test this weekend running at stock clock if I get the chance. There's a gaming convention going on this weekend, though, so getting time may be an issue...
I wish I had something to actually test the capacity...

I've done one more test. I've swapped back to the stock battery. I do not recommend this battery. Real world usability does not outweigh the potential damage to your device due to the stress on the cover.
I might check out the Muegen battery as apparently it actually is better and may fit better.
