[Q] Good replacement battery for DHD?

Has anybody tried this one?
Search for "2430MAH HIGH CAPACITY BAS470 GOLD BATTERY FOR DESIRE HD" on ebay.
Any good suggestions for replacement battery?

I have just bought this one:
Andida Battery For HTC Desire HD Ace 1800Mah
Didn't know there also where 2430Mah ones

These high capacity batteries are all BS. It's not possible to fit that much extra capacity in a battery of the same size. Very few of these third party batteries are from reputable companies and safe to use. All of them are around the same capacity as the original stock battery. There's a 1500 mAh battery by Mugen which is the max you get I guess. These 'super high capacity' batteries are actually the same capacity as the stock one or probabaly a little more. You won't notice a dramatic increase in battery life as you expect, and sometimes they have worse battery life than the stock battery.

+1 on the high capacities being BS. I got a replacement 1600mAh battery for $6.99 delivered off eBay and it works fine but doesn't hold a charge much longer if at all than my 1230mAh stock battery.

After market extended battery comparisons.

I'm currently about to place an order on an allotment of galaxy nexus (LTE) extended battery's for testing, I see quite a lot of threads on the seidio battery so I won't be including it but however I am including a multitude of slim higher capacity battery's and larger 3800 behemoths. If you would like to suggest any particular ones I would love to add them to the list for review. Currently in the 3800 category I have qcell, Hyperion, and trexcell.
In the original OEM size category I have some generic eBay batteries ranging from 1950-2680mah.
If your dying for a review on something not listed here post it in the comments, I've got $84 left to spend on testing units, and I'll do my best to work them in.
An MHL adapter and USB host cable are also going to be reviewed

are you going to be testing the capacity or just doing rundown tests through the phone?

I will be testing their actual capacity, quality and life.

im personally most interested in the "stock" size ones like the oem 2000mah version. would love to find a cheaper version then the $36 you have to spend on an oem for a batt that costs 4 dollars to produce.

I too am interested I have 3 battery's in the slim category one claims to be 2000mah another says it is 2400mah and one is supposedly 2680mah I have very low hopes for these because they are cheaper and have higher capacities than the stock but still remain as thin. It is possible to such a thing but I doubt these will for the price.
Im placing the order tomorrow.
3 slim batteries and 3 larger sized ones

I had some Evo batteries like this from ebay. They claimed higher MAh than stock & lasted nearly as long. Considering that for the price, it was a decent purchase.

okay the order is placed, should I be worried about the batteries damaging my Gnex? I have a few ways I could test the voltages and outputs what should I be looking for?

So I have run into some complications with poor customer support and shipping problems so i had to cancel the order. But luckily I will be reviewing one extended battery.
the seidio 3800mah ill report back with stats and some tests, its charging right now. I'll be skipping the generic size and feel stuff and cut straight to the statistics and build quality once I break it in with a couple cycles

Galaxy S3 Larger Capacity Battery

Hi,
I am looked several hours for a response to my question, but have not found any answers. I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I am looking for a higher capacity battery, but one that is the same size as the original. I am not looking for the extended batteries that have new backs that come with the sale. The battery should be able to slide right into the phone and attach the original cover. I am perfectly alright with spending a decent amount of money for the improved battery.
Thanks.

Unless someone can prove me wrong, I think all of those listings with higher mah are bs. You're best with just buying a few OEM Samsung batteries. You can also buy the external charger(+phone dock) from Samsung, or a 3rd party one from ebay (charging on ebay one is extremely slow)

i am testing the hyperion battery 4000mah right now, final verdict will be on saturday. doing the charging as per instruction.

Yeah bigger battery but fits under the same back is a myth. Mugen claims to have a 2300 but I am not sure if it is for real.

they have quality battery in the past. i own 2-3 of their battery and you get what you pay for.

yea the only way would be able to is if they make some modified Chemical for their Cells.
Or (more likely) they just dont follow the same expansion tolerances that OEM manufactures do so they can cram fatter Cells with slightly higher capacity into the same opening in the phone back.

I wouldn't just dimiss the Mugen battery, they're the only one so far that has 3.8v spec on their batt, which from little research is different chem from 3.7v.
And if the phone is regulating the charge, then charging these 3rd party 3.7v batteries with our built in charger will kill these batteries in a hurry.
without NFC and less regulated (less safer) packaging i can see extra 200mAh possible. but not worth $45 IMO>

Are there any differences between how the phone charge and how these 3rd party devices charge? Won't they all stop when the batteries reach 4.2v? The HTC rezound comes with either a 3.7v or 3.8v battery and I've not seen any indication that swapping batteries is a problem.

Better Regular Sized Batteries

I have VZW GN and wondered if there were any batteries out there that are the same physical size as the standard OR extended batteries, but perform better?
Such as "2450mAh High Capacity Replacement Gold Battery For SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS i9250" on ebay

Anker has a 2200mAh one, i have their 2000mAh which is barely different, but I just needed a slim battery for an external charger to switch out when I'm low on juice

I dont see why other battery companies dont jump on this and make larger capacity thin batteries...

If you do some research you'll find that *most* aftermarket batteries do not put out the full mah ratings that they claim to have.
Stock batteries are the most reliable in meeting their actual mah ratings. I had a good experience with Anker in the past in my Sensation but other than that, every other aftermarket battery I have bought has not lived up to the qualify of stock.

They can label it as a 3000mah battery but that doesn't mean you'll actually get that, these cheap battery manufacturers can't cram more capacity into the same size as samsung does, why can't people understand this?

Link Dream 3.7V 3200mAh Battery

I am planed to buy a extended battery. I found Link Dream 3.7V 3200mAh Battery(stock battery size). Is it good? anyone using this battery?
Link Dream 3.7V 3200mAh Battery
OR Any other good extended battery?

OEM Samsung 3000maH kit is better - look on ebay for it. Includes updated backcover too.

That is not available in ebay india Are you using Samsung 3000maH? can you share your battery life?

Have you not considered the 7000mAh battery by Zerolemon? I have had mine now for nearly 2 years and would find it hard to go back to a lesser battery. Its a bit bulky but its nice not having to think of how much battery life remains on my phone I get 2 days of pretty heavy usage with around 10 hours screen on time.

oem or compatible battery
I'm finally ready for a new higher capacity battery. There are batteries on ebay, but im worried they may be overrated or may bulge or explode. Any recommendations for a cheap high capacity battery and a reputable ebay seller?

Any reputed manufacturer for these high capacity batteries?

I just bought and tested a Link Dream 2500mAh battery and it had less than half the stated capacity, so I'd suggest getting a more conservatively rated battery from a credible source.
