High capacity (2400 mAh) battery for HTC Artemis

Now there is a 2400 mAh battery. The manufacturer is Chinese and they claim this battery will last 100% longer than the original. Oh and the battery is also 100% bigger than the original so they supply the customised back battery cover.

So to sum on, there is a better battery, at least it looks like it has better battery life, so its your choice to get another or to get this one?

I think I keep the original battery.
This one is way too bulky and I think the Artemis is quite sexy the way it is.

i thing, it is joke

1000% AGREE !!!!!

Man, that makes the Artemis look ugly.

when you have business trips, you will change opinion.

This is a nice battery.
I am using it

I agree with what biou said, go on a longer trip where you have no access to electricity.
I bought a double capacity battery for my Ipaq rx3715 which already has one of the best battery life on the market. With the big battery I managed 40 hours continuous use with minimal settings, 20 with normal and 12 with heavy use like video or 8 with extra heavy use, so video + WLAN + big headphones.
When I watch videos my Artemis lasts about 8-10 hours but when I surf the web power drains so fast! I think it lasts for max. 3-4 hours with WLAN on.
I might buy one of these or I buy an emergency charger wit mini-USB. I still can't decide which one I want to use.

Where and whec is it going to be available? Shipping to eu?
I agree that it is ugly, but going on a hike in wood i would better have this fat one as a spare in case i got lost. Happened to me - first thing u notice when lost in wood is how fast gps battery starts to drain and that brings surge of adrenalin/panic.

I have a similar one to this which I use on my extended trips away from the office which also generate heavy phone use and often using a BT headset.
On the positive side it can last up to 3 times longer than the original battery without charge especially when using BT functions.
On the negative side however with the extended battery in use the PDA does not fit the desktop cradle or my GPS car holder.
In my opinion well worth having for those times away from an AC or car charge.

I want to buy one, but what battery is the best? I don't really trust all the cheap batterypacks on E-bay, do you guys have some experiences with a good battery?
Please help me pick one. Thanks

I bought mine from eBay and have not experienced any problems at all.
My battery is black in colour with white text. 2500mAh 3.7VDC and clearly marked for the DOPOD P800W so should be easy to identify on pics of the eBay listings.
My only word of caution is that the two top (closest to camera) plastic tabs on the battery cover are somewhat exposed and therefore fragile when removing the cover and can snap off from repeated swapping of extended battery back to standard battery.
My first cover tabs broke and I bought a second extended battery just to get a new cover when I snapped the tabs of the extended battery cover. Now I leave the extended battery on all the time.
I can do that because I located a different desktop cradle where I could cut some of the plastic away to accommodate my Artimas with the extended battery fitted. I also have replaced my OEM card holder with a universal style so I no longer have the issues which required me to swap back to the standard battery.
Extended battery is great and IMHO not too bulky despite the initial look in the photos.

Seidio 3500mah Extended Battery (w/ Pics)

I received my 3500mah on Friday with case. I haven't done any formal testing, but its been off the charger since last night on a fresh, untreated ROM and after a full day of work (including 35 minutes of Pandora on my commuter) its at 73%.
Now, some blown out pics:

Pros:
There is no debating this; the camera lens is now OFF of flat surfaces!
With the changed dimensions of the phone, I find it easier to hold.
If you like a more pronounced presence in your pants, this phone will help provide it
You know when you have left your phone behind. This is great if you are a /b/tard that can't remember anything.
Holy crap the battery life!
Battery does not get hot. I haven't felt a temp change at all at 1190Mhz.
The balance of the phone has been maintained.
Slip-free material on the rear cover feels better and is more tactile.
The rear cover snaps in tighter than the OEM.
Cons:
Its heavier. Not as much as you would think, but it definitely adds weight. Not necessarily always a bad thing.
Its fatter. The overall size reminds me more of a PDA than a phone now.
The material used on the rear cover is impervious to all sticky material. I ordered two covers, the other one has been ground down trying to fit an M2 disc on the back and nothing is working. I've tried 3M tape, 3M windshield tape, Super Glue, and JBWeld. Its futile.
There is always the off chance that a battery goes off in my hand like a grenade, killing me, my puppy, two cats, two chinchillas, and possibly my wife in one hellacious blaze of glory. Hopefully Bon Jovi will be playing at the time.
Conclusion:
[4.5/5] I ordered an extended battery that was twice the size of my regular battery with a rear cover replacement and got exactly what I expected. Its not for everyone; But if you want your phone to feel more substantial and have a battery that has a half-life apparently on par with the radioactive isotopes at Chernobyl, this might be the battery for you.
More to come as I play with it! Post your thoughts and experiences.

More (resized this time) pics, showing the pronounced camera protection.

I agree, I've had mine now for approx 2 weeks and could never go back. I've been running Hero's Baked Snacks Roms and can easily get 2 days with moderate use if needed (I charge every night however). I'm usually around 55% - 60% (approx) after a full day.
It's definitely fatter but the phone is large anyway. The only drawback for me is that i cant fit any case on it which kinda sucks..

Agreed. I wanted to show the recessed lens because the back cover kind of acts like a case. But I would like to skin it a little more.
I need to find a way to stick the Soundgate disc on the back. This is driving me insane.

I should be getting mine tomorrow. Can't wait.

I got mine in the mail today. When my girlfriend called to ask me what I was doing this morning, I responded, "waiting on my new battery, of course. " I was able to charge it before I left for work this evening. I had to restart 3x before I reached a full charge. I will be happy when its properly calibrated. Four hours later I am at 89%. I love it.

I wish they'd make this with a Rugged Case that fits it...the Rugged is bulky enough, I think they'd get a good amount of sales for that.

Where is the cheapest place to buy this? Has anyone compared it to the cheap eBay knockoffs?

Im thinking about buying this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr5hev4x-bk.htm
but before I do, has anyone bought one ? thoughts ?

why spend 69.95 for the 3500 that already comes with extended battery cover, then spend another 29.95 for another cover?

It is a great battery. Been using mine now for a few weeks and have gotten so used to it I don't even notice the bulge anymore. I does make it easier to hold.
Most days now I end up with about 70% battery left. Having the battery power there to do what you want to is nice.

mine will arrive Thursday, looking forward to it

Anybody have any experience with the "Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery" ? I want to buy this. I'd rather not have a big bulge on the back of my phone lol

Probably in the thread about the 1750mah Slim Extended Life Battery?

First night with my new battery, and Seidio did not disappoint. Just like with my G1 and extended battery, I was able to go 12 hours of very heavy use. Internet/Games/Phone/Text/ and I watched Avatar in HD using my V-Moda Remix headphones, and streamed about 3 hours of Pandora. After all that I was still at 35% before I gave up and went to bed.
There is no doubt that with moderate to heavy usage this phone will last two days and with light usage a week.

Ok I'm gonna put my flame suit on for this one but I purchased the ebay battery rated at 3000 mah and I think the rear cover looks much better than the seidio one. I get approximately 2 days of use on it while running the baked snacks rom and I only payed $ 10 shipped. The battery never gets hot and the battery life is amazing. I will post up pictures if you guys want but to me the seidio is very expensive and looks really ugly. It's just a bulge out of no where while the ebay one has a smoother transition.

No flaming here
I've been burned in the past by no-name gray market batteries and I sleep a little easier at night knowing I can hunt down the maker of this battery should it do the whole Holy Hand Grenade thing on me.
Seidio is much more likely to hold their quality control to a higher standard since they back the product with their name, whereas a no-name can sell you a 3000mAh battery that is really only a 1650 and they don't have to watch their name dragged through the mud.
Its really a personal preference, and its a very good thing that we both have the choice to put our money where we want.

Sprint HTC Evo Extended Battery (2600 mah)

Sorry if this already has been posted, I did not see it posted anywhere on here.
I just went to return my car dock at Sprint and they said they had just received shipments of Sprints' own extended battery + covers for sale. It was $54 after taxes. Comes with 2 covers, one white which is painted so it's smooth, the other a black that has the rubbery finish on the back.
Not bad for the price, I mean sure it can't beat the Ebay ones (which I ordered the 2 3000)
I am going to guess this is basically a Seidio rebrand?

Did you see any cases for it?

No I did not. I asked but they said they do not know of any coming out yet. I can't find this battery announced anywhere so it must be a brand new item from Sprint, guess I got lucky.

jesus it makes the evo look like a damn hunchback. i wish these companies would make these slimline only.

With phones outpacing battery technology by a very large margin, this is the only way so far. I mean there is the option of carrying a second battery, but that seems a little unnecessary. I'll trade aesthetics for convenience and utility.

Can these be purchased online?
mr2man07 .. how are the 3000mah batteries working for you, have you tested them? I've read eBay batteries are lower than actually rated as they arent regulated, even the Seidio's are falsely rated.

Thanks for the heads up, gonna pick one up tomorrow...
Just picked it up , charging .. Got the last one in the store ....

I do not even think they are announced from Sprint yet. I managed to get lucky and the guy told me they had them in stock if I was interested. Told me it was $49.99 and I jumped on it.
I have yet to receive them. They are still about a week out, maybe less. This one has only dropped about 15% over 5 hours of moderate-heavy usage. This is on the Fresh rom with battery-config script.

They are online

Do you know if they add the same height as the seidio 3500? I have the innocase extended on mine with the innocase extended holster ordered. I wonder if it would work with this battery. Also let us know how the battery does. I wonder how many actual mah it is.

I have no idea how it compares to a Seidio. I have not had the opportunity to do a comparison.

Keep us posted on the performance. I think it will probably been on par with the 3500 batteries.

now if we could only get an OEM extended slim battery.
i just can't bring myself to use an extended back. i love my cyclops case too much.

30 minutes of Angry Birds, 30 minutes of Reckless Racing, 30 minutes of browsing and 3 youtube videos, the rest being standby with WiFi at 7 1/2 hours total time uncharged, it barely dropped 20%. Whereas my oem battery would be around 40-50%. This being on only the batteries first full chrage.
I love it, it is no longer mandatory to put the phone on the charger just to navigate to clients for work, or to be able to use tethering.
I am a Network Technician, and I use my phone a LOT during work days, and this battery will help me greatly.
Obviously, this is not for everybody. I see my phone as a utility, a tool for my job and a personal gadget/toy on off-hours, not some fashion device, so its "beauty" is not as important as its functionality.

Jesus H Christ, that backplate and battery looks bigger and crappier than my Chinese-made 3500mAh, which I got two of at just over 1/3 the price.

im new to the forums but been following and taking UR guys advice for a while....anyways I just picked one of these up today to. Last one at that. I was gonna get the 3500 mah battery from hk right before I bought this one but went with this since oem. I would like to see how long it last.
Update: its now close to 6 hours of being in my phone under heavy usage and it hit 15% and that was out of package with no charging.

Rule of thumb on these is most batteries are shipped with a 50-60% charge from the manufacturer . It also has yet to be seen if this battery is truely a 2600mah . As its well known from Batteryboss even the Seidio doesnt hold a true 3500mah charge . From batteryboss the Seidio is only holding 80% of its advertised capacity . If the battery from Sprint holds true to that ratio it still will hold a charge of 2080mah (This is just theory and estimated) . You should see an improvement over battery performance from stock . Give the battery a few charge / discharge cycles .

Just grabbed one last night and not really sure if Im gonna keep it. The main issue I have is my phone is completely naked now. Ive got no holster or protective case and Im paranoid about dropping it. Gonna try and see if theres some type of case at best buy tonight that will fit this battery even if I have to modify it.
As far as life goes, Just took it off the charger so gonna try and use it heavier than normal today and see what I get

vibrant power skin [review/pictures]

hello xda, please don't mind my lack of capitalization...my shift keys are currently not functioning lol at any rate...
i purchased an official t-mobile powerskin about a week back from a some site, and i just received it this morning. although the official price marked on the box is 54.00 dollars, i managed to buy mine new for 15.00 so i am pretty happy, so i thought it was a safe gamble. i will provide my opinion of this accessory and rating based on a few different categories, and supplement my review with pictures as well.
protection [5/10]
the case itself is covered in a gel like covering, similar to many gel cases sold by t-mobile for the vibrant. although the powerskin does seem durable and is thicker than the typical gel casing, i am not too positive that the case itself will provide amazing protection if dropped from a high place such as a table. it will certainly provide some protection, but since the phone slips into the case and the case does not wrap around the phone, it seems likely that if the phone is dropped, that it will fall out of the case upon impact.
thickness [7/10]
the added thickness to the vibrant is not outstanding, it only gains about twice the thickness that it normally would have without the powerskin. in terms of width, the phone only gains about 1/4 of an inch and about an inch to its height. with this added mass, the powerskin makes the phone feel a little more bulky, but nothing significant. all in all, it feels similiar as holding an iphone4.
baterry [10/10]
the powerskin performs as advertised, effectively doubling the life of the vibrant. the back of the case has a small button below the power level indicator lights, that enables the user to turn on the powerskins charging feature when needed, or turn it off when one wishes to run off the phones built in battery.
instructions [6/10]
the instructions are nothing more than a few pictures, so they leave much to be desired, however the case itself is easy enough to figure out, and thus does not require too much explanation.
weight [5/10]
the weight added to the phone is about what it expected, a little more than a battery itself. the added weight does about double the normal weight of the phone, and thus is quite noticeable, and does take some getting use to. but all in all, its to be expected.
overall [6/10]
all in all the powerskin performs as advertised, without added too much more bulk to the phone itself. the weight added is a little downer, but you take what you get for double the battery life. protection wise, the skin will allow for minimal protection against falls and allow one to drop a phone from a high height and receive minimal damage without totally neutralizing the blow. i wish that the skin wrapped around the phone a little better sine the fit doesn't seem to be perfect, but again, i suppose you cannot have your cake and eat it too
now for some pictures --

Nice!
I just ordered 2 of these (one for my fiance) off of Ebay for 12.99 Buy it Now, free shipping from New York. It says refurbished, but I've never had problems using refurbished electronics before, and at that price, I'll take the risk.
I'll give my feedback once I receive and use it.

I'll be waiting for that feedback on that ebay purchase. I saw 12.99 used and 16.99 new, I'm wondering if its to good to be true. In the official thread it seems like there is a revised version. I guess at 13 bucks its not to much of a gamble. Let me know.

the only issue ive noticed over the week or so that ive been using the case is this...that the case likes to turn itself on when it realizes that the battery is being consumed by use...this isnt that bad, however it does not turn itself off when you standby lol which is just wasting the charge. thus i suggest getting some sort of battery monitoring widget that clearly tells you if and when the phone is plugged in, so that you can shut off the case if it happeneds to turn on. once you notice that its on, and you turn it off, it tends to stay off until the battery gets to about 70ish before deciding to recharge the phone battery.
all in all, nice if you can get it for under twenty, which isnt hard.

OK so I received the two Powerskins today. I have the same issue with it turning itself on sometimes... but all an all its definitely worth the 12.99.
It adds more bulk to the phone than I thought... but its excellent for traveling and is a huge convienience.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15052151&postcount=33

I think most of us knew about something like this for a long time. I didn't realize they were so affordable though.
Doesn't Samsung make a much nicer one for the I9000 and sell it in Europe? I think that's what a saw months ago, and it was much more expensive...

I agree, it did add more bulk than i imagined it would...but all in all, its not that much worse. although i wish it didn't turn itself on at random times, the inconvenience is outweighed by the usefulness I believe. Im a heavy user, and am running cm7 nightly build 85 with glitch kernel v12 beta and my battery consumption is immense at times, since using the powerskin, ive noticed that I can use my phone for much longer without needing to charge.
And ive known about this for awhile, but i was waiting for a good deal lol 15>54 haha

I believe you're right. I was debating getting.that one but the price was a good deterrent lol

So I ordered mine on Friday and got it today (Wednesday). I got one of the $12.99 used ones from ebay. So my thoughts on it are mixed, before I was using.a CS 3000mAh battery and it actually lasted me the night at work, I work a 10 hour shift and have music playing on my vibrant for around 8 of them, i'm in and out of a cooler all night and the basement of the casino (I live in Vegas) so I lose my signal constantly and my phone always searching and reconnecting (also I send dozens of texts and very heavy data/Web use), so I need extended life. Now the old extended buttery added some weight and size increase too but the power skin makes the phone feel huge. It's nice to have some protection on it though. On top of the extended battery I always used a belt case (no pocket space for my phone) but with the power skin it no longer fits. One concern I have and can't test till I get back to work is that the case sticks out over the headphone jack kinda far and i'm not sure they will plug in correctly.
Overall the power skin does it's job but i'm glad I only paid $12.99, if I paid the $54.99 box price I would have been pissed...
I'm going to try and use it for a while, but I have a feeling I'll be going back to the regular extended battery.

[BATTERY][unboxing/review] Anker 1900Mah

Hey, My first unboxing/review so tell me if I have missed something, The batteries are here For 2 of them, along with a wall charger with a USB port on, for £16 (Used to be £12) And on it's own for £8 here, There will be hopefully alot of pictures and info through out, and currently I don't know how well they perform as I have only had 'em a couple hours, or if that they are actually 1900Mah, I'll take of the whit bit later and find out, however, 2 batteries for £16 with a wall charger and a year warranty, I'm not going to complain
All the pics were taken with my SGSII and I have re-sized them, Hopefully they are not to small but I didn't want them to be huge, Also sory for any blur, I don't have the steadiest hand in the world
First the box, Starting right from the beginning here if anyone cares, Very simplistic, cardboard and says Made in China on the top, nothing too special.

The battery (Both sides) With all the info on, Looks and feels high quality.
With the battery in.
Some of the instruction booklet (If you can read it)
It whilst charging, The light is actually nicer in person and more pink (Also fit's the original battery.. Obviously )
It fully charged/not charging, Blue/Purple light (again looks brighter and nicer in person)
Some comparison photo's between the Stock and Anker battery.
And that's all, I'll post how well it performs asap, But to be fair im going to give it the 3 recharge cycles as stated in the manual, Then compare it to the original.
Thanks for reading

great looking forward to the test results
wondering though how come some anker can put 1900mah in a battery the same sized as samsung and samsung cant do such thing as a default? hmm

Just turned everything on and clocked it up now to drain the battery , Should be done by tomorrow ,
I guess it's to save money on Samsung's half, But I'm not too sure either.

Intresting!
Subscribe this post, couse i'm really curious. Maybe i'll buy one for me

Had the same battery on my sensation, worked like a charm and gave me an extra 20-30% more juice. Don't know how it will preform on the SGS II though..

I'm curious too. My cheap Chinese battery's say their 1800mAh and is more like 1300-1400mAh which was no surprise at the time because its easy to print whatever on the sticker without proper testing. See here for proper testing http://translate.googleusercontent....h.html&usg=ALkJrhje4iAnKMYySrm1MUK2mZPX9GLr8Q and a few more batteries http://translate.google.com/transla...e/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-2-3500-mah-2430mah.html
The charger is identical to the one I got with my ebay batteries. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270758612241&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123
If you can't tell I'm a little sceptical about the 1900mAh claim but you never know. So I have also clicked subscribe

As soon as you tell me how it works, I'm buying it in the states. This one looks very promising. Is it the same size as the original? Thanks.

same size as the original, however as far as I can tell its ever so slightly thicker and heavier but not noticeable, also it seems promosing : D I've been trying to drain and I'm still at 16 percent, where as my stock would have easily died by now

It should improve after a few drain/charge cycles. Do you think this is the best battery without increasing the size of your phone?

Send one of these babies to eug, he is able to accurately measure the capacity.
Everything else is just pure speculation and I'm pretty sure these batteries will also turn out to be 1300-1400mAh.

maybe, even though however they are cheap, and seem to last pretty well, and I wonder if the warranty would cover it

just took the sticker off of one, no details , how ever there is a silver/ chrome slightly scratched finish under, doesn't look to bad actually

You think I should cancel my order that I just placed?

i have had this for 2 weeks. Pretty good. Does the job. no overheating issues.
After the first 5 charge cycles the batteries take about 6 hours to charge in the dock, which is fine because trickle charging is good. And having 2 spare batteries, you can leave one on charge and have 1 spare with you.
Battery life increase....nothing spectacular , someone that knows how to test it should comment. I am interested to know the findings

Sorry but that battery didnt work. Already tested and the stock battery is more better. Just let the battery drain to 5% and you will see.

If these are in fact the same as the 1800mAh (1300-1400mAh) then they are actually expensive compared to them The charger is definitely inflated in price for just a different sticker.

so is this brand a good brand??

Damn well thanks for the info guys, 1400mah it is then,

I haven't done any lab tests but its feels the same as stock battery to me on day to day usage.
I bought from the brand because they have excellent reviews on htc sensation, people report 20% extra battery. check amazon reviews
