Awaiting for their response on whether or not the power pack to connect via USB or POGO. I'll provide updates once I receive their response.
UPDATE 8/6/12:
Mugen Battery pricings now available
3200 mhz for $95.95
6000 mhz for $111.95
That's awesome news

Awesome news indeed. When I first heard they were either doing the internal battery and battery pack, I was hoping that they'd go the battery pack route. If possible, I'd prefer not to open up the One X since I'm rather clumsy.
I'm just hoping that the Mugen design of the battery pack will look nice.

Hopefully it's pogo pins and slim. And doesn't cost a fortune

Got reponse.
The customer rep says that the product is still in the development phase, therefore no battery capacity and how the battery will be charged is available yet.
Since the rep told me the approximate release date may be mid-July. I'd say it's fair to check back with them beginning of July.
Also sent them a message on FB and they confirmed it's a battery pack using the pogo pins (gave them a link of this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703746
however i was told to just watch out for it since it's still in development

Please someone with experience in using battery cases on other phones try and answer these questions. How do these batteries actually work? Does it keep the phone's battery under a light charge? Or does it work as a separate battery leaving the built in one unused?
Any unwanted side effects? It's just I don't think if it is good to keep our batteries under charge for too long.

The battery cases comes with a power button, when your HOX has a low battery, you can turn it on and your phone will going to charge same a using a dock station (ery slow).

except those mah ratings are at 3.7v not 5v, so the capacity won't actually be 6000mah
sick of people doing these marketing ploys. makes me sick.

this actually sounds great, but \i have one question.
In the long term, would this be detrimental or irrelevant to the battery life of the phone?

Hi,
I've read a lot of.messages about battery life and type and I've still not understood if it is a li-polymer or a "simple" li-ion battery... Is there any official info that states it is a li-polymer battery? This is really important since you almost need you recharge the device once a day and a standard li-ion battery would loose some of its capacity after a year (and given the present battery life, a further reduction could be a problem)... I'm concerned about battery capacity if I keep recharging the device, because after a year I wouldn't be able to replace the battery....

A lì-polymer is also a lì-ion battery (a sort of evolution I think), so what it's written on the back may not be an answer... Right?

According to wikipedia, li-poly batteries are lithium-ion polymer and sometimes known as li-ion too, so the back of the box puts us back to square one.
HTC support and contacts via elevate confirmed it's "Def" Li-Po .
But yeah i noticed Li-ion on the packaging too
Mind you the specs for the one series aren't exactly accurate, they don't mention FM radio or the 5ghz wifi frequency on a lot of the marketing material.

Why do they have to make them so thick? Lithium Polymer batteries can be manufactured to be very thin. These cases may have a higher advertised capacity, but they also have a much larger area to work with, so they can easily spread out the thickness. By the looks of it (camera lens cutout) the battery pack seems thicker than the phone itself, so I guess with this on the phone will be 2x+ thicker ??
If they made the output 1A then I don’t mind getting one as a replacement for a portable battery charger pack, but at 500mA this won’t be able to charge the phone, so I won’t be able to use it just for few hours on the phone to charge it.
EDIT: I see that the photo indicating 500mA output is not for the Mugen case, OP do you have any idea what the output current of the Mugen ??

I always use the supplied wall charger that comes with these so Idk, lots of the extended battery reviews on here are the same voltage & they seem to be doing pretty good.
It's not the charger which matters but the phone itself which charges the battery, it's aiming for 4.3V as that's what it thinks it should have as the stock battery is designed for that. Although I haven't heard a single case of these 4.2V batteries having problems with being charged with 4.3V, that last part can be changed in the kernel and the charger chip driver. I'm getting some knock-off cheap battery myself so I'll see how it goes. This particular one seems quite steep in price @ $30, with proven ones like the PolarCell 2400mAh going out for half the cost.
you won't see the affect right away from overcharging. I use to play with a lot of batteries from RC, overcharging something we use to do get slight edge and boost at start. but it does have long term damage to batteries, specially lithium based. some cheaper batteries even catch fire.
Alright guys, got the batteries in the mail today, charging one & will report back later

Li-ion batteries have an overcharge protection circuit built into the battery pack itself and should prevent this from happening. If everything is working as intended, it should be impossible for the phone to overcharge a battery. That's not to say the protection circuit couldn't fail itself.
And I too played with RC batteries and you really can't compare those batteries with these. Different types of battery with different methods of charging.

Am tempted by the 3000Mah battery by E-Cell....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-3000...ultDomain_3&hash=item3f1b24bf0b#ht_2324wt_962
Purchased a 2100mah previously to replace the 1450mah that was in my Sony Xperia Play.... Definately added a few more hours of play to it..... Hmmmm....
So I was going through eBay AU and I found this 2980mAh battery at 3.8V by a company called X-Level (not sure if it is by X-Level but this but check it out!) and I wanted to share this with you guys.
Here's the link -
I just ordered one and I'm going to check out if this does lasts longer than the stock battery 2100mAh at 3.8V. I'm also going to compare it to another 3rd party battery (with no brand, *l'll post link of this as well below) that is 2300 mAh battery at 3.7V. Has anyone tried this yet? I'm willing to post results as soon as I receive my battery.
*Here's the link to the other battery I mentioned above -
Share your results please :beer:

And oops, forgot to post the links to the batteries. Updated OP.
Anyone have any prior knowledge of the brand? For that price I doubt it's going to be good.
If anybody has experience with this, also chime in :good:
You'd think at some point people would quit falling for these scams, but I guess not. There's no magical battery technology out there that allows a manufacturer to pack more capacity in the same size space.
thank you for that information. if this battery is not what it claims to be, I'll ask this thread to be closed.

Toshiba (if i were not mistaken) has now made batteries that has capacities of like 5200mah in a regular sized 2200mah battery. Meaning more juice in smaller pack.

Companies have been working on better battery technology and it shouldn't be much longer before they start showing up for sale to consumers. That said, this isn't anything more than a cheap knockoff with a different label.

Completely forgot about this thread, my apologies. However after usage I can tell you that this may be a very good alternative to stock, cheaper, whilst offering similar performance. Definitely not 2980 mAh though, however it is not a terrible purchase for $10.
Also the battery seems to fall out very easy when you take the back cover off, it does not fit snugly.

High capacity power packs are big. Something under 5000mah would be pocket friendly in my opinion. I personally have a 5000mah. Its a perfect size and I can charge my phone twice from 1 or 2 percent to full charge. Sometimes I have a bit of juice left in it. However I did not purchase it from eBay but I'm sure there are plenty good ones there. And as razer1224 said don't buy cases that have batteries built into them. From my experience they charge very slowly and make the phone look bulky and ugly.
