All 2700, 3000, 3500 mah are 2100mah with a different sticker

It is my conclusion that all chinese knock offs are 2100mah. This based on johnnychimpos results of tests. He had a 2700 and 3000. Both of which charged no higher than 2000mah. I have 2 chinese 3000 and 3500 no difference between the 3. Looking for proof elsewhere. Going to buy real seidio now.

Still better than 2000mah. If I am going to be carrying this weight around I better get the most juice I can out of them.

Hmm, what do you think about this...

Seems to be a California based company, but on their main website they have the same item going for 64.99 - wonder why eBay is $15 cheaper.

It is my conclusion that my chinese knockoff charged to over 2700mah and kept getting better. It was rated at 3000

I use the HTC 2150. Works great, less filling ...
Only drawback - battery indicator doesn't function.

@op i agree. they are all the same with different sticker. 2k packs 2 times the size.

I agree the 2100, 2700mAh, and 3000mAh are all actually the same 2100mAh, but the 3500mAh Seidio is a beast on it's own. I have all of these batteries.

I got the 3500mah from random Chinese company, the fit and finish of the case is really nice
I don't understand why the mah would be so low... I mean the 1500mah ones I bought, are pretty much 1500mah.

Cause OEM product fromt he company are close to the actually mah, seidio's 3500 is the best mah you going to get with 28xx mah.

Mugen 1800mAh battery

Is anyone using the mugen 1800mah extended battery? If so I was wondering how much time you got with it vs the stock battery. So far it is the strongest battery I could find that still uses the stock battery cover.

I'm using a different 1800mah battery off ebay, and I can say I'm very pleased with them. I don't know if I get a full 20% more battery life, but I'm sure that they last longer than the stock battery. Plus the matching red is a nice touch.
This is what I have:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-EVO-4G-SPRI...ccessories&hash=item335fa61cc1#ht_5259wt_1060
He's raised the price $10 since I bought them two months ago.

not a Mugen but i tested a comparable battery bought from best buy here:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/evo-accessories/29856-best-buy-1750-mah-tested.html
additionally, there is a link in there to someone that tested an 1800mah bought off ebay.
my advice: results may vary. buy it, test it, if it doesnt work out, send it back.

So it sounds like the Mugen or the Seidio is worth the extra money over the generic chinese brand as far as getting extra performance. I think the mugen is a little less than the seidio. I had originally thought about picking up one of the 3500mah batteries from seidio but eventhough they have an innocase for it, there are no holsters that will hold it. I need some kind of belt clip holster. So unless anybody knows of a holster/clip that will work with the 3500mah battery installed I will be stuck with a couple of the 1800 batteries. Do you think something like this would work with the 3500 since the very top and the very bottom are the only thing in the holster?

One last question about the Mugen 1800 battery. I found a site and the Mugen 1800 for the Hero is $11 less than the Mugen 1800 they are selling for the Evo. It is essentially the same battery isn't it?

I was about to say the same thing...I have swapped batteries and they are the same. Touch Pro 2 as well.

Good read about various batteries and performance. link

[Q] Yet another battery thread

Ok, i believe that i read some time back that you could use a touch pro 2 battery in the evo. correct me if im wrong, but if the stock battery that we use is as true to 1500mah, wouldnt the HTC manufactured 2150 mah be one of the best extended batteries to buy? I have found a couple for sale, and wanted to be sure that the touch pro 2 battery does in fact work in our evo. thanks and sorry for yet another battery post.

Here is the amazon link to the batteries. I know they wont fit under our stock door but for 10 slices of paper from my wallet plus the addition of having to buy another stock evo battery cover to modify to fit this battery, I feel like this isn't a bad deal considering the price. I should get the battery sometime around Friday or Monday of next week. Will post pics of said modification and results as soon as possible.

there are "3500" mAh batteries available for under $10 too. I believe they are closer to 2800. I've found the yoobao 3000mah batteries to be the best, got mine for 20 shipped.
and yes, the tp2 will work in an evo. you aren't going to be able to mod the stock cover to fit that. just buy an extended cover, you can get them with the battery for about 8.

Well I'm gonna hack up my old battery Cover so the battery will stick through. I have one of those crystal gel cases that will hold the battery in place, I just want the cover there to act as a speaker cover. The extended covers make the phone too large. I think this will keep the phone slim it will only be slightly thicker than it is now. I have come up with a couple of designs as well that allow me to use the stock battery door and hold the battery in place without my case. Like I stated in my earlier post, I'll post up the concept and see what ppl think. I just wish they made a battery cover that went around the battery and not make the entire back bubble out.

Check out the Mugen 4500 mah battery if you will be hacking up your back cover... I think there is a thread that has info for it.. Search

Gimme a week and ill post what im doing. Lol i still wanna keep the phone slim for the most part, so no 3500 or 4500 mah batteries

I'm loving my Yoobao 3000mah battery. With medium use, overclocking and custom kernel, I get about 36 hours out of my phone. Well 28-29 not counting sleep time.

verdict 2150mha touch pro 2 battery DOES NOT WORK!!!! Repeat DOES NOT WORK! So i bought a sedio 3500 battery and fell in love with that instead!

Are there any high powered batteries for the Inc 2?

I currently use an Energizer 5200 mAh power pack for then I need extra juice. I know Verizon offers a replacement but its kinda weak for what I want.
Is there at least a 3000mAh or more battery?
Bizzare that I cant find one when the original Incredible had a 3500mAh pack.

A larger 3000+mAh battery has been mentioned previously somewhere in these forums. I think Muegen makes one. You can include "Incredible S" in your searches for some accessories, such as this one.

How does the 1800 fit? Can the cover close completely?

Fits perfectly! No issues with the cover closing at all

yeah the Mugen 1800 fits perfectly. and in fact, a bit cheaper on ebay (i think it was 39.99 including shipping). that''s where i got mine from at least and it was all good.

Just ordered the Mugen.
Looks like I didn't use the chichitec one long enough for permanent damage to the cover. It's slowly reforming back to where it doesn't squeak and move around.

Love the Innocell 1750mAh extended battery

I purchased the "Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery" from Seidio online.
I was getting just enough from the stock battery to get me through until I went to bed and put my inc2 on the charger.
Now I can go a day and a half before I need to charge!
All this and it fits with the stock cover. Definitely worth the 45 dollars!
Just me 2c

seidio is the way to go. my 1750 should be coming today!

Give it a couple of full charges... before you start getting the full advantage of batt.

I hated the ones I got for my Inc1. Lasted just as long as stock battery and that wasn't worth $45. I traded it out twice thinking it was maybe a bad battery. Same problem even after waiting a couple days of use. Sold it to my friend and he hates it. Best battery I bought was the 1600mah oem TP2 HTC battery from ebay for $5. Lasted two days on that thing plus it was OEM. I'll consider Seidio again but I wasn't happy the first time around.

Agreed. Typically third party batteries (including Seidio) have exaggerated mah ratings. The batteries that are marketed as being extended batteries might have a little more juice, but not nearly as much as the rating indicates. They often tend to wear out much quicker.
Glad this one seems to be working for the OP though. Perhaps this one is different than most of the rest.

Yes it'd be great if it did. I wish someone knew of an OEM HTC battery with a higher capacity that would fit our phones. Even if it's from another model

Just ordered one.

I bought 1800mah Mugen Power instead, heard good things about their battery, it's slim so I don't have to use different back cover. still waiting for mine.

Love my Mugen slim extended, definitely significant more life out of it over stock

I have the Mugen also; I tried the Seidio 1750 w/my DInc1 and while it was an improvement over the stock battery it did not perform well over time. I've had the Mugen for ~3 weeks now and am quite happy with it...I hope I can say the same thing in a few more months.

Do you think those cheapies on eBay are worth it? Could they damage my phone? 3500 with extended cover for $11...

That's for the Droid Incredible 1, not the Droid Incredible 2. They are not compatible unfortunately. They won't fit.

I've gone through a lot of batteries for my Inc1 and best results come from the OEM batteries.
Ordered a lot off eBay and only seller bidallies sold legit OEM. The generic work but lose capacity over a few weeks and are off on the ratings, Seidio is good but barely better than stock and not worth the $$$ on the original Inc. I'll be trying a Mugen next.
So I recommend saving the money you'd waste on the junk batteries and buy a good one that'll last.

True that. I purchased several junk batteries before getting the Seidio 3500 mah battery. So much better than the other "high capacity" batteries.

Yeah I'd like to keep stock back cover. Like I mentioned with the Inc1, the HTC Touch Pro 2 battery fits fine and it was a 1600mah while the stock Inc1 battery was (in HTCs infinite wisdom) a 1300mah. Fit snug but still fit under stock battery cover and gave extra few hours of life.

Save the money and just order a couple original stock ones on eBay for $10 a pop.
Don't need to go into details about how your paying for a placebo affect. I made the mistake. Never again.
Absolute ripoff.

So what is the best one for a stack cover? I would like to use the stock cover because of my otter box. I am assuming with the extended cover my otter box will not fit.?.
