Three hours of screen on time seems to be about the norm.

U can use one of these chinese batteries. Currently i'm using one 3000 mah for about 10 euros. After 4-5 months it started to keep less charge (about 2 days heavy use, 4 days in the begining for comparison). But it is ok for me - 10 euros for half a year
Yoobao or momax also not bad,require no backdoor.. capacity 1500..normal is 1300mah

I bought my 2 China battery and one wall charger at 8.99 USD..it only last like 8 month,1 die on 30minute display on (my display is like 1/10 of the brightness),the other in an hour.. =\
Edit:so I think it's better to go for quality stuff rather than quantity..

Anker 1600 mAh battery. Got it off Amazon a couple of days ago after reading through that thread in the accessories section. Lasts longer through the day than the original.
Hi guys, I have a weird problem, I am using insertion by siulmagic, latest version, before that I installed blackout ROM, since installing that I put my phone to charge at around 40-50% and keep it overnight, when I wake up in morning charging light is still red, I charge it by turning phone off, I don't think it's battery problem, because when I charge it while phone is on, it charges normally, I don't want to keep phone on all night, please advise, I wiped and re-installed ROM, I calibrated battery, but it didn't help
There's no substitute for a good battery. The cheap Chinese batteries won't last as long and they're probably lying about the capacity.

I recommend the HTC OEM EVO 4G Design battery, It fits perfect in our devices w/o any modifying or trimming. It's a whopping 1520mah compared to the 1300mah that comes with stock devices !

On heavy usage I charge once in the morning once at night.
So I ordered a 1800mah battery for the epic. It fit and everything but literally while charging it and on browser on just data, the battery life decreases while on the charger. It also almost died at school today. On my 1500mah, I ended a 7 hour day with about 30-40%. On the 1800mah, I got down to 20 and below. If kind of makes me mad that I bought a bigger battery and out sucks. And what is a good 1800mah battery for the epic?

The battery from the Epic 4G Touch is your best bet. And as for it dying on the charger, it's the charger, not the phone or battery. I know this because it's happened to me. Try a different charger

Yes I ordered the Samsung epic 4g touch battery. And sadly it isn't my charger because I am using the same charger on my 1500mah battery and its charging fine.

Not always the charger.... When I'm on 4G and trying to use Google Maps even plugged in I drain my battery. If I shut GMaps down, it starts charging as per normal.
It was really frustrating when I first got the phone, as I was in the process of moving to Denver and knew where nothing was. Now, at least, I know the area well enough to just have it on at the start or end of trip.
The Anker samsung battery (search amazon for it .. ~$10 and 1800mah) has shown good results for me.

And if I do actually have a defective battery, I will try it. And does it actually give you more battery life and if so, how much?

it is normal for the phone to consume more power than the charging pack can output....... you might not of had this problem because the 1500ma battery uses less energy than a 1800mah battery(hence the extra life..) if you charge with a USB 1A charger it should charge the new battery better. also, turn of 3g and watch your battery charge about 2times faster than with it on.

Anker
And yes it does perform better. I have 2 1800 mAh Anker batteries and there amazing I got a deal for 2x 1800mAh batteries and the charger from Anker. For 20$ on amazon don't listen to reviews they said the charger is bad but mine has performed well for several months and still is. I. Had gotten 4 days before on CM9 with minimal use and on regular basis I get 12 to 18 Hrs with 3 Hrs of screen on time

This is the one I ordered -- getting about 20 hrs of battery life vs. 12 hrs on my stock (2 year old) battery. Non-OEM batteries are typically a hit or miss, but amazon's return policy is dead simple and free, so IMO worth a shot.

No problem, any other battery that isn't by Samsung would generally be non OEM
I need a decent extended battery that could last about 24 hours with proper usage. Is something like this possible in India?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Don't know about battery but there is a extended battery cover. The cover has an battery inbuilt so when your phone dies or is about to die just switch on the button on the cover and the battery gets charging
Hope this is something you are looking for

Buy a 3400 mah battery from ebay.com, mine lasts avg 36 to 48 hrs with my usage, yours will vary.
My battery life is getting real poor.
I charge it every night and top it up at east twice every day at work.
I do use it a lot, and sync everything and have Google now running. I like all the features though.
I am rooted running 4.2.2 jelly beer ROM. I don't think its the ROM as it seems about the same as the other 4.2.2 ROMs I've had.
This mornings drive to work I streamed 20 mins of music from Google play via 3g and I was down to 68% when I got to work?! This seems a bit excessive to me!
Is there any app where I can test the battery or something?
Battery is a year old. Last battery used to turn the phone off when using camera flash. This one hasn't had this problem though.
Any help appreciated

Seems like when I charge it too, it jumps from 70% or so straight to 100%? Strange...

Your statement here is proof that your battery is at the end of its life. Any battery has a finite life, and I have found that if you buy a cheap li-ion battery it won't last long time.
I bought 2 cheap li-ion batteries for my HTC legend and they only lasted 6 months each before experiencing exactly the same issue you have.
So I can only assume your "new battery" was a cheap too.
Usually the heavier the battery the better it will be.

Second battery was also an official HTC battery. I did get it from eBay though so its possible it could be fake? It looked the same and serial nos all matched etc...
I'm thinking about changing phones pretty soon but I'll need a spare phone so maybe I'll eBay another one.
In fairness I have hammered this phone. The amount of use it gets is immense!
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
I'd go through Amazon if I were you, they seem to be the most legit. Or buy a reputable extended battery there's also a thread somewhere here with a mod that utilises the battery from the Sensation if you're comforable dabbling with some hardware hacks
"Two types of people: Those who buy iPhones; and those who are intelligent. I'm intelligent."
- Guy
Got one from eBay for 5.60. Said original, looks legit and world of difference.
Hopefully be OK!
I'm planning a note 2 in a few weeks but I need this fully functional for when I go out for a few beers. Lol.
