to redfocusgreen,
if you want to find a battery with lowest price...you can find many in the internet..but if you want the longest lasting.....I think we will be your best solution.
we have a standard of 2200 mAh and an extended of 4500mAh.
Hello all, first time user here so please forgive me if I'm duplicating anyones posts.
Our company here in the UK have just started buying the T-Mobile MDAIII, I think they're great buy the battery life is appalling!
Does anyone know if there are higher capacity batteries available here in the UK, and if so where I can source them from?
Thanks,
David.

I have a xda2s (MDAIII) and i spent absolutely ages searching and asking around trying to find the same product but i've managed to find it, (just testing it out now) the stock one is a 1490 Lithium Polymer battery and this extended one i'm trying out is a 2400 Lithium Polymer battery and it is only slightly larger than the stock one and it still fits inside the cradle! It costs 30 GBP. If you want some i might get some more, let me know

i got 2 2400 mAh batteries for my xda iis, both $30 each which ends up being about €15 pounds each in the uk. i got them on ebay and im on my phone right now =).
I want to buy the 2400 mAh battery but I was thinking, does it fit in the original leather case that comes with the Blue Angel?

I've got no problem fitting it into the bundled case... maybe you could try?
I'll get one of those batteries when I arrive to Dubai. Going there soon. Let's hope the battery life increases a lot!
Hi,
If u are going to Dubai, better get 3300 mAh battery.In India it is available at 3300 Rs...around 80-90 USD..It is slightly bulgy..but its performance is wonderful
Wow I never knew it existed. Thanks.
www.lionbattery.com
Not sure if they ship to the UK, but it gives you an idea of what is out there..
So the 3300 mAh battery fits in the cradle AND the original leather case?
Last I heard the extended battery does fit on the cradle and the case. Oh and it's 3550 mah battery not 3300 mah (that was their older model, this is version 3)
hope this helps
Any charging problem?
Hi! I have purchased ext.battery 2400mah 3 days ago, and met some problem. I can't charge it 100% max - 79% and all my plugins don't understand that it is not its native battery - for example they say (Uptime and other meters also) that it will work for 5-6 hours. In fact it works about 15 hours and more, but I have no actual information as for my battery status.
Has anyone met this problem? And how can I solve it??
Thanks a lot...

so far so good
I purchased a 2400 mah at ebay. It came in yesterday and I had it charge overnight. It did go all the way up to 100%. I'm going to test the hell out of it by watching movies, playing mp3s, wifi, bluetooth, phone, etc.. I'll let you guys know if it's worth it or not. So far I commuted 35 minutes by train this morning and had the phone on and watched an ep of Family Guy on it. When I got to work it was at 98%. I have yet to compare it to my old battery 1490mah. I don't think that it'll be at 98% by the time I get to work. We'll see...
ive been very happy with the 2400mah battery i bought a few weeks ago...got it from here...good price too.

Great news!! The battery is awesome. All day yesterday, Xmas, I shot video, played mp3's, and used the phone. The battery was at 91% when I got home and that's after being on all day long!!

2 weeks earlier bought a 2400mah battery from them, ordered online, arrived in 2 days (on a fast delivery), I have charged it overnight, put it in XDA-IIi on 20 Dec Wednesday 9:00pm still on 51%, I am making 3-4 calls per day of approx 3-4 mins average, Battery came with the back cover because its a bit thicker than the normal 1200/1300mah battery, and it DOES NOT fit in the regular leather pouch. But overall battery is superb.

Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a HTC Wildfire S. I am quite disappointed by the battery performance. The dialer and android system always shows 49 % usage. Is it a bug in GB or is this normal behavior ?
I feel my battery drains out very fast in a day. I usually do a 20-30 mins of call/day. About 10-20 Mb of internet data via 2G. But at the end of the day around 8-8.30 PM my battery is almost at 25-30% or sometimes less than that. I have disabled all the vibrating notifications. Wi-Fi and bluetooth OFF, I have installed juice defender which shuts the data off when the phone is idle. Though there is some improvement after this, i still feel the battery is going down.
When googled about this, everyone had almost the same complaint. And the only suggestion was to have an extra 1500 or 1900 mAh battery. Now which is the recommended battery without making any change to the hardware etc
coz i see lot of them taking a 3500 mAh battery with extra cover and changing the contacts and all. I dont want to do all those but just to improve my battery performance. Can you help me out ?
I use this battery :
http://www.batterychampion.fr/produ...rtmentProductId/76703263/shopGroupId/95658473
I can use my device almost during 3 days without any charge : calls, sms, internet and games.
Its very large. I wanted a small phone...
The 1500mAh Replacement Battery For HTC HD7 fits the Wildfire S and gives you an approximate 20-30% boost in battery capacity.
Edit: Nvm, never bought a new battery lol
and what about 1900? any suggestion?
and btw, 1500 and 1900 battery has same sizes as the original? only the 2200 and 3500 needs a new back cover ,right?
the only extended battery worth getting is the Cameron Sino 2200mah version. Yes, it does make you phone quite a bit thicker...but it's the only one i've found that does what it's supposed to do.
I tried first a 3500mah version, but after a couple of weeks it lost it's ability to hold charge almost completely, so it was actually worse than the stock battery.
Next was the eCell 2350mah version (Gold), this didn't last much longer than the stock battery either, although it did give a litte extra, but no where near the 2x capacity of the stock, as it should have been. (i think i got like an extra hour or two oout of it)
and finally....the CS 2200mah version.....where I usually get around 8 hours tops on the stock battery (i leave things syncing every hour, quite alot of texts every day, a fair bit of internt use too), I can now use my phone for 2 full days straight, and by night-time on the second day it's finally down to around 10-15% battery left, so go mad playing games for an hour or two to really run it down to nothing, then leave it on charge over-night.
I would highly reccommend this battery, it's the only one you'll ever need, and you can actually make use of the "smart" features of your phone....I can actually use programs that need GPS without having to worry if my battery will die, leaving me stranded
it only costs around £10 on ebay.....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150696338487
the thickness is something you get used to, and some people even find it a bit more comfortable to hold....so it's not necessarily a bad thing.
A review of the Cameron Sino.
It comes as advertised.

From my personal experiences the HD7 replacement doesn't give that boost. Maybe I got a weak unit... Soon I will order another one just to make sure.
I suggest you check this thread for comparisons between different batteries and results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419930
On page 3 of that thread I show my tests and comparisons of:
HTC Stock 1230mAh
HD7 1500mAh replacement
ECell Gold 2430mAh
Thanks to d33ps1x for his great public service testing several batteries and showing us what we can expect from them. If he didn't open that thread (and others) I probably wouldn't have shared my results.
I suggest everybody take a good luck before spending their cash.
I've recently bought the 3500mah battery with black cover at FocalPrice for 6€ shipping included.
When I get the order I'll post my results.

3500... i rly hope it will be that much, but it will more likely be 1700 to 2000 MAX
I thought that too but a friend bought it and told me that his phone stays on for a least 2 days without charging it.
When it arrives my home I'll post my results with pics of the difference.

okay, we expect your review .. .
I got the Cameron Sino Tech 2200 mAh about a week ago.
I cant give an accurate review of the battery but I've found that its well worth the extra size for the extended life, i get a couple of days out of it now.
Its cheap as well and now I have a spare battery so if I know i'm gonna be away from a charger I can take the original battery with me.

Like other people have seen (d33ps1x for example), the Cameron Sino 2200 mAh is the best bang for the buck. Even if it makes your phone "fat" it is a real power improvement.
The ECell Gold 2430mAh has barely 1600mAh inside so it's obviously false advertising when they say that they use Li-Polymer. I have one and ordered the second unit because even if it doesn't correspond to what's promised, it still gives a nice boost comparing to stock.
I'm also curious how different the two batteries can be. The second one will arrive this week. I will prepare it and test it as soon as I get it in the mail.
All those 1500mAh you can find on eBay are only marginal improvement when comparing to the stock battery. If they can provide 1300-1350mAh then you are a very lucky owner.
There are some amazing batteries out there, but they are too expensive.
I'm talking about Mugen Power Batteries:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
I had one of their batteries on my HTC Desire and it was something out of other world. If you follow their instructions (that come with the battery) you won't regret buying one. Right now the Wildfire S 1500 mAh is out of stock and will be ready for shipment on the 17th February. This means they're being produced now and who buys them will get brand new batteries, that haven't stayed for months in a warehouse. If they were cheaper I would definitely order one. If Mugen Power announces 1500mAh, they're definitely inside.
I want to buy the Cameron sino 2200 may, but will it fit a metro pcs wildfire s???
I get one or two days? I think that's good? It's longer when wifi is off.

I got the battery, it fits, but it's BIG! I got a soft silicone case and it works. It stretches and fits fine, it protects the phone without a back cover.
The battery is a definite improvement over the original.
Hi guys, so i recently got a GS2 and the abttery life is horrbile for me.
It charges 1% every 3 mins, and drops 10% per hour.
This may or may not be normal but ive decided to buy a extned battery off ebay.
Now, what precautions do i need to take? Is it even safe buying a extended battery? DO i have to buy a new back cover?

Are you charging via usb or electrical outlet? Trying cutting reducing the screen light in display settings. If you use a the internet a lot the you might need an extended battery.
I got one on ebay for about $30 or so and it doesn't add any bulk to the phone. Original samsung 2000mah battery with a case.

You can buy the extended battery 2000mah for $25 now, I found them at my local carrier shop..
I had the same issue as you when I was using a stock rom, battery drained really quick and had to charge twice a day.. After rooting it and flashing a stable ROM i was able to get up to 1 day 6hrs on battery with 4 hrs screen time
Bought the extended battery and the case that came with it is thicker than original making it a bit bulkier.

I used to buy from AliExpress back in the days when there wasn't much local eShopping sites, and it took forever to be delivered. I bought my last GT-N7000 battery from Qoo10 last year and it's still in use today. Just search for "n7000 battery" on Qoo10. Sorry, can't post external link as I'm a new user. It's the gold battery series. May not be the original, but it's comparable in terms of battery life and it's much cheaper. Hope that helps.
