Wall Charger And 2 1500mAh HTC EVO 4G(TP2) Batteries On Ebay For $10

Got it from Hong Kong to NY and it got here in about 4 days, super fast shipping. It says Touch Pro 2 on everything so im assuming everything from the TP2 and the Evo are compatible. Well see what happens, here's some pics and the link until i use em enough to crank out a review. Just figured i would share with you guys out there interested in other battery/charging options, Cheers.

Doesn't the Evo use a slightly higher voltage battery? I'm at 91% charge and at 4.139V.
EDIT: I was wrong, just did a battery pull and it says 3.7V just like the battery above.

I've got the same two spare batteries and charger (same vendor); I've had them for about two weeks now. I rotate the three batteries as the charge runs out: battery A dies, take battery B from wallet, put battery A on charger, put battery B in phone, put battery C in wallet. Rinse, repeat. The OEM EVO battery gets me about 48 hours per charge, with an average use of 3-5 hours. The two spare batteries get me about 24 hours, with an average of 2-3 hours. Sort of gives you an idea of how well they stand up next to the OEM. Either way, they work great for me and fit comfortably in my wallet. I was under the impression that lithium-ion batteries shouldn't go unused, which is why I keep them on a rotation and let them run dry each time. Likewise I thought they slowly lose their charge potential the longer they are used, so spacing them apart would help extend that, no? Note that I don't know much about lithium-ion batteries, just heresay.

I got this package off ebay a week before the evo for $11..... They work jus as fine as the regular battery for me

I also have been using these batteries in a rotation, which have been working just fine. Happy that I bought then.

Hay for 10 bucks I'll give it a try. I can definitely use the charger. I was using my TP2 as a charger now I can sell it if I want. Thanks for posting.

History: 3,484 sold
damn!!!!

I bought 3 (1 for home, 1 for work, and 1 for RV) and they work great. I wanted the extra batteries for dry camping so $30.00 got me 3 chargers and 6 batteries. Plus my wife still has the TP2 so she can also use these batteries.
The china batteries are working just as well as the stock battery for me. The light on the chargers is a bit bright for my taste, but I keep it charging out of sight.
-

I have to say the same, im more then pleased with the results so far. They last just as long as the OEM for me and they take awhile to drop from 100% once you charge them in the one supplied within this package.

just ordered mine will post my review once i get some use out of them

ordered 2
Thanks for posting

Thanks for sharing OP! Just what I needed, a wall charger. I've got 3 batteries already (stock, Hero battery, and an extra batter I picked up for the Hero.) I've been using the Hero as a charger, but I want to sell it so I needed a new one. Thanks!

Got mine in the mail yesterday, so far only played with 1 battery, charged it over night and have had it in all day. With moderate usage nothing more / less than my normal it seems to be performing on par with the stock battery! Phone has been on for 12 hours, moderate phone / texting, played some games on my lunch and did some crossword puzzles on a break, and I'm at 69% battery.
Worth the $10 by far!

Got my set yesterday. 5 hours off the charger and at 84% battery. Seems every bit as good as the stock. Also the battery charger has a usb port on it so with a cable you can charger the phone and spare battery. Awesom. Best ten bucks you can spend.

Got mine a few days ago and I've put the extra batteries through their paces, seem to be solid.

I would be careful I have not rated the output of the USB but the charger it self is 1500mA. I wonder if it's stepping down the current before passing it through the USB (usb is rated for 500mA, however; most usb devices can charge off more; stock charger is 1000mA) Also not sure what the max current the evo can take over usb.

For purposes of boosting confidence, I've had mine since November (got them for my cdma hero) and they are still performing just as good as my stock evo battery. I have read that batteries get a better charge if they are charged with no power (ie: plugging your phone into a wall charger while keeping it turned on) so I liked the idea of the battery charger. I keep one in my wallet, rotate around 6pm, then rotate again in the morning. So far seems to work out great for the amount of use my phone gets, which is a lot!

the ones that are on Ebay are not good.. i ordered that same wall charger(style ) when i had my G1 and they break easily.. and the batteries are cheap quality..
this is the best deal i found on a extended battery, and it last more than a day, some people are saying it last for up to 5 days - http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-Battery-Droid-Incredible/dp/B003602HIO/ref=pd_cp_cps_3

You just posted a link to a battery that cost $41 and rates nearly as bad as batteries that are $11 for two AND a charger... (link to testing here). If you insist on overpaying for your phone battery just buy the OEM one, it beat out the Seidio version in testing and is cheaper.
I've had the ebay charger and two tp2 batteries for 8 months (Hero), I'm now using the same batteries in my Evo and they last just a little less time than my OEM. For the price, the Ebay batteries are an unbeatable deal.
I went so far as to order another charger and two batteries from Ebay and I keep this charger at work. I rotate batteries at work and home, always have a backup and have amassed two chargers and four backup batteries for a total of $20. Ebay deal FTW.

Will but a couple my self thanks for the great tip

what seller are you guys buying these sets from?

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.
Sent from my EVO using XDA App

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.

nice find!
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

[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.

Inside the box, Packed neatly.
What's in the box, the 2 batteries, charger and UK adapter (You'll see why later)
The charging unit, Which has (I think, Never been, there) a USA Plug built in, which...
Flips out to look like this.
The UK plug on it, (It slides right on)
Anddd,, Where the battery goes.
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.

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

Andida 2600 maH BAttery for the Galaxy Note?

Hi, I was wondering if any of you had try that Andida battery yet? Andida usually make very good alternative battery to original but this product is still very new, I cant find any review anywhere yet about it.

Hello, I'm wondering the same if any user have any experience with this battery that claims 10 to 15% more battery juice for the note.
http://tinyurl.com/74h85h2
It seems that Japanese batteries instead of Chinese batteries have more xxx on providing the claimed power or mah. If that is the case, there is other two interesting batteries to explore:
3000 MAH
http://tinyurl.com/6wohgsy
2900 MAH
http://tinyurl.com/6sayynn
Also, these two batteries cost more than other ebay offers of 2 batteries plus charger. That seems to say something too. I am tempted to try the 3000MAH. Right now I'm just getting 12 hrs with my use style. I would love to extend to 15-16 hrs. That would allow me for a typical work day.
Right now I'm using 4-AA Imedion batteries within a Gomadic charger. This allows me three days of extra power before needing to charge the AA.

I know for sure Andida have a good reputation, I dont know about these 2 others brand.
For sure I would like to know more if some forum user experimented already.

Sorry about posting the other options. I felt in the marketing hype. It seems that company (e-cell) is not selling Japanese brands and others with others phones beware of that.
So it seems we should stay with already proven brands like Andida, Anker and others. I will try Andida and let you know.

I bought 1 original Samsung Battery and one other "oem" that I never trusted. I'm about to buy that 3000mAh ...Did you try it?
Sent from my Xoom on EOS ICS Everest

No, I didn't. The thing is that if you search within the forum for the "Gold" battery from business batteries, you'll find that everybody say it is not Japanese battery to begin with and just hold around 80% of the marketed mah. That is less than original samsung. Other said it lost juice around the 10 charge. It seems that all batteries sold from e-cell in ebay have this problems. Getting a battery for a phone that is old maybe is ok, but since we are looking more power I think we should look somewhere else.
OTOH, it seems brands like Andida, Anker and Mugen are more recognized brands. I will try the Andida and hope to hear something around 3000mah from Mugen.

Don't try the gold battery!!!!! I had it with my HTC desire. Its an outright fake. If you tear off the gold sticker, its a really lousy cell with cardboard stuffed. Lower than OEM!
In fact, I had 2 of this ****. Shameful dispray!!

I purchased 2 batteries from China for 5$, free shipping.
First the China batteries are light, my digital scale says for the genuine Note battery 49 grams, an both chinese are 41 grams.
There is 8-9 grams less material to accumalate current.
And its true, chinese cheap ones last, full charged, 20% less than genuine.
For me its OK for that price, if i need extra power, the two chinese are in my pocket, as spare batteries.

so these extended batteries are same size as stock?

Stick to Mugen and Anilda.

using it andida 2600mah almost 10 charges what i say bad then original. My ori batt from 100% to 99% around 15min on andida confirm less then 10min just normal browsing.

Guys I even tried Chinese battery and (as someone said) it's just lower in terms of weight. It even SMELLS...but works! Performance is about a 20/30% less instead of oem ones and I just leave it in case of an emergency.
About the "Gold" battery of e-cell, I don't really trust in a battery which seems powerful (in mAh) keeping the same shame! It's not logical, by the way I advice you to buy only Genuine OEM batteries and PERSONALLY I don't trust in sellers who say "genuine...oem...IN BULK". Original Samsung battrries are NOT in a bulk

Just wanted to share that info. I wouldn't waste my my money when their are much cheaper, just as good alternatives.
I however bought the Hyperion extended battery and couldn't be happier for just over $20 shipped from Amazon. I went about 48 hours on the first charge with 17% left (see screen capture below). I haven't even gone through the 4-5 discharge cycles yet and it's amazing. I love the feel of the thicker phone. Not much heavier, but completely worth it. The fit of the cover is excellent.

I haven't even gone through the 4-5 discharge cycles yet and it's amazing. I love the feel of the thicker phone. Not much heavier, but completely worth it. The fit of the cover is excellent.
Here's a review thread on here from it in case you haven't seen it or it gets lost in the pages.

I was wondering, is there really anything special about the mugen that makes it better than other bands, such as hyperion?

Nope. Why pay more when the Hyperion 3800 mAH battery is already a proven choice at just $17.99?

Agreed! And the cover is great. I have no idea what Mugen is thinking.

holy ****nitzz...100$ for only like 200 more mah wow so lame

The problem with cheaper batteries is that they use cheap low quality cells. In the begining they provide super-good results, but after 1-2 months they degrade radically, so if you want a year of performance you have to buy 4-6 such batteries.
Mugen uses good quality japanese cells and they last for 1 or 2 years, so you just buy one battery and use it for longer period -> lower cost and less hassle.

He's just saying it's possible and that the only real way to find out the quality of a battery is to see its performance over time. Third party batteries can be hit or miss.

I've been asking that same question since there was another thread about Mugen making an extended battery.

its more expensive because of the so called higher quality cells are being used in higher priced batteries....
i would love to have someone who has money buyy one and try it out and if its not good return it

Not trying to flame you here but where have you seen it "proven"??
I certainly agree there seems to be quite a few happy purchasers in these forums for the Hyperion battery and that's certainly great and I, myself just recently ordered the Hyperion battery as well, but let's put some things in perspective here...
* As tigerboom pointed out, DON'T expect longevity with the Hyperion battery. At about 1/2 the cost of the OEM battery and at the same time supposedly 2x the capacity...That should already be a strong indicator there's sacrifices going on. Then again, my smartphone lifecycle is about a year or a little longer anyway so if the cheapo batteries can hold up for that long then I'm golden!
* There's little to no regulation on how a manufacturer goes about rating their battery's capacity! I'd be willing wager that the Hyperion's rated 3800mAH is probably closer to the neighborhood of 2700mAH (give or take)...Whereas with the Mugens (being a very well known and renowned brand) is probably right at the rated capacity. Then again, even if the cheapo Hyperions are well less than their rated capacity but still well more than the stock battery? Heck that's still a win in my book!
* Don't expect great customer service on cheapo batteries.
All in all, give the quality batteries like the Mugen their due, but unless you plan to keep your phone for a LONG LONG time (cause that battery ain't gonna fit in your new one!) and need a rock solid dependable battery thats got a capacity to last until the next ice-age, them cheapo Hyperions will probably do the job just fine and not break the bank!

Got the Hyperion and so far so good. I get a full day of usage now.

I've placed an order for it and it's already shipped. Should be getting it within the next couple of days. Will upload some pics once I receive it.

Are you serious? Only one day? my wife gets 3 full days with 4000mAh from mugen... something must be really wrong, unless you skype/video call on wifi this whole 24 hour day that i can understand..

The Hyperion is only 20$..... It's not like it's actually as big as it advertises. If anything it's probably only about 1000 mAh bigger than the original. Mugen are built for quality, which is why they're so expensive.

Take a look at this:
http://batteryboss.org/
Basically every third party battery maker lies about capacity. Mugen, Seidio, etc...

even teh OEMs aren't quite at their rated capacity, though they are definitely the closest to what they advertise

Right, theres no way to guarantee exact mAh. Some OEM batteries do say a "typical" and "maximum" mAh rating since it does vary from battery to battery.
However, the third party guys being 20-30% off from their supposed rating is ridiculous. 5-10% would be acceptable.

can anyone confirm the max time they get running as a hot spot with hyperion?

I haven't used the phone as a hot spot long enough to drain the whole battery, but I ran it for a while and remember thinking the drain really wasn't too bad. Sorry, can't be more precise with numbers.
