Hey i just bought these, what do ya'll think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260787324461&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4717wt_821
I bought one about a week and a half ago. Not name brand and look very similar to this one.
I'm happy! I work 12 hour shifts and I can go all shift HEAVY usage. ( never leaving my phone alone for more than 10 minutes at a time) and I still have about 40% percent left when I get home. I have went around 20 hours before. But make sure you condition it!

I can almost bet this is not a true 3500 mah but i don't care for the 12 dollars I paid and the fact that I can be at work all day come home and play with my phone for a full 1.5 hours after work and have 35 percent.

I got this same deal about 6 months ago.. They've been fine batteries and being that you get 2 it's definitely worth it. I had times with certain roms where battery drain was unbelievably high but if you have the right kernel it seemed to do well. I recall netarchy sbc no havs no uv worked very well in the froyo roms..
I wouldn't buy them.
I bought a similar deal with only 1 battery for $15 or so. The charger, battery and back case look similar to the one pictured. I wish I hadn't. The battery last about the same as my stock battery, so I wish I had just gotten a second stock battery I could throw in my pocket. If I want to do that with this battery I have to carry the extra thick battery and a different back.
i have them and love them... i have had mine off the charger for over 16 hours and its at 41% now.. thats with moderate to heavy use for about 8 hours and 8 hours on standby during the night while i slept (i forgot to plug it in)
im using the new mikG 2.0 base rom and it helps pretty good..
i was using juice defender but it lasts longer without it, but without the trickle charger the battery doesnt fully charge so you get that drop at the beginning, but if you put it on the external charger it will fully charge.
best thing i bought for 20 bux, i bought the 2 battery and a charger kit... cant go wrong for 20 bux
Well thanks for all the input! I should get them early next week so i can test them out on my vacation!
Amazon has them and for $8-12 its better than spending $50+ or carrying 3 batteries around.

Just got one of these in the mail off ebay for 7.88. anyone else have one? For 8 bucks it was worth a try.

I saw these on ebay a few days ago and was wondering about them. I'm anxious to hear your opinions on it.
I just got mine today. First charge with the phone off turned green in like 30 minutes? Went down 20% pretty fast, like an hour. So I popped it on the charger again with the phone on this time. Again relatively fast charge to full. I am now at 60% after 4hrs44mins. Not so good. I'll have to get a few more charges to get it to full capacity I think. My stock battery sucked at first too. Haha, we bought from the same guy! I also have a freebie used TP2 battery from my sprint store. I haven't used it much but so far its not as good as my stock but good for backup. Still waiting on my battery charger from that same seller. Lol. I'll let you know how it goes with this new "1800mah" battery. The first days are never too good.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
got 12 hrs on it yesterday moderate use and still had 60% left. ran it down last night too just to calibrate it.
I bought a two pack of 1500 mah batteries with the USB charger for the desk for I think $12 ish. The batteries are pretty decent. I cant tell a difference between the OEM battery and either of the china batteries. But again, this was the 1500mah batteries sold by a different guy from china. I've got some ebay money, maybe I'll buy this 1800mah and test it and get results up here...
Here the link to the batteries I bought : http://cgi.ebay.com/2X-1500mah-Batt...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item335df8101f
I got 2 (red ones) with a usb/wall charger for like $20 for my wife and I. I get through the day no problem, my wife doesn't use hers as much and still has 30 percent at the end of the day. we made sure to run them completely dry first, then charged them overnight in the battery charger that came with them. I know people have opinions about the "memory" and will tell me its not necessary to drain and charge, and that's fine. i'm just sharing what has always worked for me. at the end of every day i put the stock battery back in and put the 1800 in the wall charger and get better results then when I just plug the phone in.

how are yall getting like 12 hrs... with 60% left? im getting no where near that...
I have really good coverage here. Ive got all my bars in my house. Im going to give the battery a good week till i can really comment on it. It seems just as good as the stock so far. Once it gets thru some charge cycles the battery will perform better. New batteries need to be broke in.
Yeah, I don't get really good coverage here. I've always had battery issues. But this EVO has been the longest lasting so far. I had the 6700, mogul, touch pro. My stock battery can go about 20hrs with moderate usage. I'll keep you guys posted.

Just an update. On my 2nd day of using the 1800. I got a little over 17 hrs before it went red. I got my battery charger from the same guy today and am currently giving the 1800 a test charge. Will let you know how it goes. I still a solid 20hrs of use from my stock battery.

Honestly I can't tell any difference from the stock battery. Seems to perform just fine.

Yeah, I got 22 hours yesterday. So, looking like about the same as my stock. Tried charging the stock battery with the Chinese charger and it seems about the same. All is good I guess.

My 1800 batteries are working great, 2 weeks in.
Im running my battery cycler/ charger on this battery now trying to discharge it to 3v and charge it up and see how man mah i put back into the battery. Ive got a R/ C hobby battery charger that will do this with all types of batteries. Just making the connection is the hard part.
Ill test out the capacity of my extended 2700mah pack when im done with this one.
Well, looks like this battery kinda under performs. I charged the battery up to 1754mah 4.2v. After sitting on the bench for 10 mins i check the voltage and it had dropped to 4.056v. I then installed into my phone and im all ready down to 88%. Oh well.
I know nothing about the Evo, so if this is for the wrong version, apologies.....but this is a great deal.
You need to go here before they sell out, who knows how many they have in stock. Normally around $50 shipped, you can get it for around $8 ! ! - Use this code at checkout: 2200evobatery

I wouldn't trust chinese batteries. got 2 from ebay and one from quickshippers on amazon. one decent one from ebay. the other two don't even charge past 60% after calibration... ridiculous. I'm buying a platinum series battery right when april rolls around so i can redeem my ebucks

Me and one of my co-workers just got the Quickshippers version from Amazon... Maybe we just got a good batch but they are both working out great! New back covers that come with it fit like OEM too. Got them for $11 shipped... No issues so far...
i bought one of these a couple of weeks ago from this store. with minimal/moderate use, after 12+ hours, it was at about 74%.
finally got mine after more than 2 weeks..but they send me 3500 instead of the 2200 i ordered
personally I will not deal with handhelditems.com, very shady company. slow shipping and lousy support too.

dang it..after using for a day and charging it the second time it stopped charging ..my light blinks amber and green...i emailed for rma
All right here is my 3500 experience so far. I bought a 3500 from quickshippers on Amazon for 13.00 battery came in 3 days i placed it in and used it for 4 hrs it went dead i used old battery and wiped battery stats tried to charge 3500 battery in the phone it gave a over heat green and red led. Then i took the sd card out old battery back in and wiped again and re tried charging. it worked. I charged over night with the phone off. Unplugged at 7 am this morning it is now 11:10pm and i have 9% remaining and want to go to bed but battery is still going.
I used the phone normally not a heavy talker. But heavy internet, txt and 100 emails aday using k9, 2 gmail accounts. Today i ran wifi all day 4g for 1 hr or so youtube and a. Small amount of gaming.
For 13 bucks this is awesome. I can't wait until this battery is conditioned...

my evo..i shipped it back today for a replacement. hope i get a better one
i can vouch for the 3500 battery. Bought it and have been using it. I figured the most accurate way to measure the battery life would be to leave it unplugged and just not touch the damn thing since saying i used it for 12 hours with moderate usage is rather subjective....
To my surprise, it discharges at a rate of about 1% an hour if not doing anything on it! On stock, running CM7, it would discharge at a rate of about 5-7% (i did used to have better battery life on the stock battery with netarchy's kernal and myn's rls 5 but i love gingerbread too much and realized i don't need sense [fyi it used to discharge around 3% if phone left on with wifi enabled and not doing anything) My results are better than expected because I did also apply the "lower havs -75mv havs edit" by viper in the development thread.
So in conclusion
3500 battery + savage-zen kernal + CM7 + vipers HAVS edit = awesome battery life
FYI: I did have to charge the battery fully and reboot once it reached a hundred to actually fully charge the battery. When I got it, it charged at a rate of about 5% per minute which I thought was really fast. Once it hit 100% I rebooted, it went down to 87% and slowly charged up to 100% (over 20-25 minutes). Then from there, I got awesome battery life.
I also tried to charge the battery with the phone off at that point and it didn't continue to charge; I also plugged the battery into an external charger at that point and it didnt resume charging either so I figured it reached full capacity.

Noice! I've got the classic one from Sprint. Works wonders with an SBC kernel.
I am going to pull the trigger since I have Amazon Prime, I will let you know how they work:
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Thun...E5Z2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1308109942&sr=8-5
If they suck, Amazon return policy is great.
Good luck! Kudos to them not trying to lie about them being 1700mah or something.
Please do report back, this looks like a good deal if they hold a decent charge.
Going on vacation in a couple weeks and these would be good to have around.
thanks, good luck.
ordered them and give them a whirl as well!
I read the reviews on amazon... They seem to be pretty good

im interested to know how they work as well!
I'm definitely interested in what you have to say. I actually added this item to my car a week or two ago after looking at the various options available on Amazon.
i just go these yesterday, im charging them as we speak. they seem to weigh the same as the stock battery as well...
I have these same 1700 batts and they are good to go. With my Rom combo and running the battsave kernel with juice defender I'm lasting a day and a half with moderate usage.

So your 1700 is actually 1500??
So far charged mine in 2 hours via wall charger. Feels lighter? And it doesn't fill in the back cover.

Ok... I have cycled both of them once or twice. One lasts a little longer than the other. The good one battery lasts about 6-8 hours, when comparably I could probably get 8-10 hours with my stock battery. The other seems to last 6 hours or so. I can't say my usage pattern has been normal lately so a little hard to be sure on how good they are. Overall, comparable at best to stock, but for 2 batteries, and the external charger, I am satisfied fro $25. So if you were looking to pull the trigger, its worth $25. I always carry a spare with my now, it is kinda nice, because now I just do whatever I want without regard to battery usage.
By the way, I am in Chicago, 4g everywhere, all the time, and am running BAMF Preview 4 on the MR2 radio. I sync an exchange account (push), one comcast account (updates every 2 hours), plus weather syncs every hour. I usually do web browsing, email, couple phone calls, and a bunch of scrabble and XDA browsing.
Thanks for the info, im definately ordering one today
How does the charger work? does it plug directly into the wall?
Anyone know if can be the problem to have 2 different batteries (1 original and 1 fake 2000 MaH - Which holds much less than the original) and china battery charger?
So I charge 2000 Mah battery over charger, take original from phone when ran out and put it in charger and put 2000 MaH battery in phone and start the phone... and doing that over and over... Can something get wrong with phone by doing that? Can something get wrong with calibration...?
tnx
My friend had gotten a Inc2 as a replacement for her BB and they sent her the extended for free as well as the regular. She didn't want it so I decided to try it out. I immediately noticed two things:
1) It adds negligible weight but a desired width to the phone, both are nice and work well with my large hands.
2) The backing for the extended battery actually makes clicking on the power button easier. Using the regular battery cover it was almost a chore to turn the screen on as the power button was almost flushed with the case.
So if you're thinking of shelling out moolah for it, it's a good bet you'll still love your phone afterwards.
But how's the battery life?
I have the extended battery also and love it! I just went to the lake for the 4th and didn't charge it from thursday morning until sunday around noon. Granted i didn't use the phone as heavily as usual i still spent around an hour a day on the internet, used gps, talked around 45 mins a day, and sent approx 50 texts a day. So i would say its pretty good!

it's b.s. though that the original Incredible had a 3500 mah extended battery where this one for the inc 2 is 2150 mah.
i'm waiting until a more powerful extended is available for the inc 2.
on a side note though, i used to have the thunderbolt and got the extended battery for that. the extended battery only helped a little bit but took twice as long to charge.
The only thing about other batteries is they may not work in the phone. I'm not sure about this phone specifically but my fascinate wouldn't charge one of the extended batteries I bought for it because it wasn't OEM. I had to install a custom kernel in order to make it work. In all honesty though, when I'm not on vacation I use the crap out of my phone and I haven't gotten it below 30% in a days time. And I'm sure if I HAD TO, I could go 4-5 days on a charge if I were away from my house/truck
Has anyone tried these?

Sounds like a good alternative if they fit and improve battery life if even just a little.

I just got a Dinc 2 for a replacement also. I was working on replacing my eris for the 5th time and I was able to talk them into this instead (note this does not happen all of the time). I think they have an abundance of returns on this phone so they are turning them into warr replacements.
Some people are getting new devices out of this, not just refurbs. I think they are using this one because it's one of their cheaper current models.
I found this one on ebay and it has a lot of positive feedback from others who bought the same one (for Evo 4G) and they are all positive and say it lasts a lot and blah... I just wanted to ask around here what u guys think about it.

I got one and have been using it for about a month now. Blows stock battery outta the water for me. I'm giving it thumbs up.
Sent From My Pocket
I have several of them. I wouldn't say they " blow the stock battery out of the water" but they are a decent stock equivalent. Only thing is they don't have the internal temperature probe like the stock battery, so if you want to monitor the battery temp you will need to get an OEM HTC battery.
Do some more looking around on Ebay for a better price. I got 2 of them plus an external charger for $21.99 with free shipping.

I purchased a battery charger and a couple of HTC batteries for $7 each. I usually go through atleast 2 whole batteries per day but I have never been able to go through all 3. I never worry about having to be tethered to a charger all day or my battery use for any reason
