I want to buy another battery with higher maH for my Desire HD. So far I've been able to find 1500, 1600 and 1800 maH batteries. But do these really work better than stock battery? If there is one, please let me know the brand to go for. Thanks.
I am sorry for having this posted here. I should have done that in accessories. Sorry.
I have the 1600mah on DHD and its the same...
Like original 12xx..
Maiby one hour more..
Sorry for my english :S

The batteries that are legit are the 1230mAh stock HTC replacement battery, 1230mAh OEM battery, 1300 Anker battery, 1500 MUGEN Power battery and some other trusted brand. Other than that are either fake or low quality built. You can also use the 1800mAh Sensation/Evo3D battery mod in the Accessories thread.

some batteries can make power worse and system has his own capabilites and forcing it to use more power than it can iy will damage the power of ur device
ANKER 1600mah works great and much longer

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.
That's awesome news
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 everyone!
I'm using HTC Desire C. got no problem with battery before my software was updated from ICS 4.0 to 4.0.3 2 months ago. after the update, i noticed battery life dropped drastically, and CPU uses heavy power, makes my phone laggy even after just a bit of gaming (NFS Shift and inotia 4). but really, that's not the issue here. i just want to buy a spare battery for my unit, and i doubt i can buy some HTC accessories here in the Philippines. when i saw an Extended battery for Desire C on Ebay, (there was one 1500mah battery, 2pcs in the set, and other was 2430mah Gold battery and still, a 2680 mah Gold business battery. would you guys recommennd it? help please?
Hi,
Power Bank caused poor battery life, Wipe Battery Stats.
I thought I share my negative experience about using a power bank / portable phone recharger. I had bought a very cheap 5000mAh power bank from China on eBay. Sorry I no longer have eBay link but what I bought which was advertised as HTC One X compatible and it included a 1A power out USB port.
I charged the power bank and then charged my phone from 50 odd % to 100%. Then again from 37% and it only got as far as mid 50s% and the power bank ran out of juice. Afterwards charging my phone normally would take roughly 2 - 3 hours to charge and although it was showing 100% I would get no more than 5 - 6 hours of battery life. I put up with this for some time and eventually bought and installed a replacement battery which was authentic. I charged my phone and the same thing happened. No more than 6 hours of life. So I thought something had been ruined in my phone.
Anyway I have ViperX on my phone and last night noticed there had been a new version 3.6.1. I was in the ClockworkMod advanced settings to wipe the Dalvik Cache that I saw an option to Wipe the Battery Stats and the battery works perfectly.
Out of curiosity does anyone have any knowledge of what may have occurred with my battery/phone by using the power bank.
Thanks
Adrian.
I have the official HTC Powerbank and haven't noticed strange behavior yet.
What is cheap it doesn't mean that always good quality. First read review from people and read about company.

PowerBank doesn't efficiently charge your battery, so it can't expect the same output that you get when you charge from a wall charger or a PC... and once you stop using the powerbank, it may take 2-3 battery cycles for the battery to settle down again!
I'm using Ambrane PowerBank (8000mAh) and I must say I'm pretty happy with it!
power banks mess up the percentage reading, I dont really think battery pack can degrade the battery in few charges. The last few percentages could last upto 1 day (it happened on my old android, the phone showed 33% for full day.) this is mainly because cheap power bank, runs at low voltage, and battery percent is measured by voltage.
Well..... With me Rule of Thumb when installing a new Rom or Battery would be to dona full drain then full charge then Wipe Batt Stats.... Every new Rom has a different battery affect on the unit that's why I wipe after an install.... Also don't forget if you install apps.... That could also drain your batteries more than others... I personally don't think it's the power source.. Meaning the power bank..... Weather it's charging at 300mAh or 500mAh or at 1A....100% on your battery is 100% no matter where you're getting the charge from... Kinda like filling up a cup.... Weather you're using a teaspoon or tablespoon or a tap to fill the cup.... When it's full it's full.... Really the only difference in chargers is the more output going to your battery the faster your phone will charge....
That's what leads me to say it's the software being flashed to the phone.... Not all are "battery friendly".... So after flashing.... Do a full charge then wipe the battery stats.....

Just FYI but i recall reading somewhere (its on here somewhere) from an Android engineer, that the battery stats are automatically wiped on reboot and also when the phone is fully charged, so any effects from manually wiping the stats is more of a placebo.
Unless they've changed it all recently.. It was probably about a year ago that I read about it

Ok.... Well I'm no engineer.... But I mainly did it going from the stock 1800mAh to the 5000mAh on my Note GT-N7000

Just asking so is it advisable to use powerbanks? Will it damage the already battered battery that HOX has?
From my experience I would say go ahead.... I use the cheap 20,000mAh power banks from eBay at a cost of $20 and have had no issues... The bank has 2 USB charging ports with outputs of 1 & 2 amps.... I used the 1 amp for my HTC One X & now the 2amp port for my Note 3.... NO issues.... I use the charger bout an hour a day all week and charge the bank once a week....

i'd been using a few different power banks, but never noticed any difference in battery life
I would like to ask of you guys if it is safe to use the phone while connected to a power bank or wall charger?
Hello Adrian,
I too faced the same problem. I have charged my Samsung Galaxy Tab T310 with MI portable charger 10400mah. my tablet charged with in 2-3 hours but the battery started draining very very fast. later I came to remember the basic rule of checking the output of the portable charger(2.1Amp) and input required by my tablet(2.0 Amp). I think this variation is resulting in battery drain.

You should buy one good quality power bank

Being cheap doesn't mean good quality.
I got a 20000mAh power bank from avantek in amazon after my friend's advice.
it really works and i see no harm to the phone, though a little expensive ($49.99) for me.
Power banks use a charger, or not, to store power in some media (battery, capacitors, etc) internally and can transfer that energy to another item (cell phone, pad, etc) at any time without further muss or fuss.
Portable chargers will require some active source where they are used other than what they carry with them. Connection to a car power port, setting up a solar panel in sunlight, etc. will be required at the time and place of use.
A notable exception to this is the solar chargers DIY types are whipping up these days. They do both things, it would seem. They carry the small solar panel to produce the energy and a small set of rechargeable batteries to capture it for later use. I suppose you would have to classify these as hybrid charger power bank systems.
One carries a power source connection or generation circuit with it only and the other carries a bank of storage devices to draw from at any time.
I hope that this will help you understand the difference better. Good luck!
From my experience with different power banks I can see great difference in them in 3 different ways:
Controllers for power-in
Good quality controller will be able to work with different sources of power (0.5A, 1A, 2A, 3A) and voltages (5V, 9V, 12V - lick Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0)., will protect agains overcharge & overheat. Cheap controllers may not protect overcharge or overheat - so may cause fire and damage.
Cells
There ma be 2 problems with cells: 1) overstated capacity - often happens on ebay that you get a "10000" mah powerbank which is more close to 4000mAh in reality. 2) Cell Quality - good cell can do 750-1500 full charge-recharge cycles before noticeable degradation of capacity. Bad quality cells will degrade after 50-100 cycles. Also had a battery which started to degrade after just 2-3 weeks.
Controllers for power-out
This part is very important for efficiency rate. Efficiency rate is a figure showing how much real capacity you will get from the powerbank. Why? Powerbank cells will provide you with current between 3.2 - 4.2 Volts. This needs to be converted to 5.0V so that the phone can accept it. Cheap bad quality controllers will loose 30-50% of power just in conversion. Good Quality (and more expensive) will loose 15-20% only.
So as You can see, from manufacturer point of view: if you want to create a dirt cheap battery, you can do it, but at the cost of less safety, less capacity and less final power in the phone. So be careful when buying cheap powerbanks - You will get what You pay for!
i am planning to buy a battery pack for HTC one x. i have never used anything like that on any phone. can you people share your experience. i will buy from www.ebay.co.uk . any suggestions on how to use it and will it harm my phone. and the phones battery will not improve right? i just get to charge it whenever i want to? thats the main idea right? i wish there was a bigger battery for HOX and could open the back cover.

dont Buy the Built in Case Power Pack
Many People Have said it charges very slow
Power Bank like 8000mah would be good For RoadTrips
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
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.
