Hi all,
I am looking for a battery for my XDA Atom. I found this website http://www.batteryupgrade.com/product_detail.php?productId=63423463 and it says that shipping is free. Did any one tried to buy from this website before? Do they provide a good quality of their batteries? on more question, any one knows a good website that sells XDA Atom accessories? Thanks in advance
Atom o2 Battery
Hi, you can get it on Ebay, recently i bought one.
Google and you would come up with at least 10 sites.
This is good:
HTML:
http://www.worcell.com/
Worcell produces high quality battery. Very reliable.
I Bought this --> http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8436
Cheeeaaper, free shipping, 1530mAh Works perfecly
here's a couple i've used for my Atom Life...
1. megacapacity.com
3200Mah with cover, 2 year warranty, free shipping $29.98
2. mugenpowerbatteries.com
3200Mah with cover, free shipping $80
Mugen 's based in Netherlands, so give it a 7-9 day leadtime if it's on stock. very good quality batteries.. Mugens have oulasted my iPAQ 2215 and Axim x51v.. Look for resellers if you're in a hurry.
ok, so after using each battery for 1 month straight, i'd say the Mugen definitely lives up to my expectations. i charged both batteries for 8 hours prior to initial use. i cycled both through complete charge-95% drain for the first 3 uses, and normal charging after that.
the megacapacity battery was a Cameron Sino and arrived with a misfitting back cover. furthermore, it was only a 2700Mah, not the 3200Mah advertised and what i ordered. i can see the internal of the case through the thin slats that the cover can't adequately and tightly seal.
the Mugen arrived 2 weeks later than expected. i found out that the reason for which was they tested all their stocks and found them defective. they had a new one done. that saved me the trouble of having to RMA one back had i gotten a bad one. and i did get a 3200 Mugen battery, with a cover that not only fits, but with a black gloss color that matches my Atom Life perfectly.
Using MWG WM6 ROM (what i still consider the stable and complete version for my needs).. Typical daily usage/settings: Network/Band at Auto, CPU power at Auto, brightness level at 2, 15 minutes average for voice calls, about 5 text messages, 3G connectiion about 30 minutes a day for websurfing, traffic and weather conditions (MS Live Search, HTC Home Plugin), and email, and about 5 minutes of WiFi to download mails from 4 accounts in the morning.
Batterylife: Cameron Sino 2700Mah - 1.5 days (max); Mugen 3200Mah - 2.5 - 3 days.
No contest. The 500Mah difference does not justify the difference in battery lives. I haven't tried a Worcell yet, I'd get a Mugen again anytime.
Hi all,
Have a RW 6815 and looking for a extended battery.
After having a little look at google i could easily found out a problem with Cameron Sino. The problem was not availability of seing the battery level at top of screen. Now it seems there is a issue of overrated battery.
At worcell there is a 3200 mAh one for RW 6815 and the cell origin seems as "Sony Lithium Polymer" price was something around 60USD. Problem for Atom is that battery cover is metallic gray for RW 6815, not black (Was really tired of that black battery covers)
There is no battery for RW 6815 but there is for Atom at Mugen Power. It was a 3000 mAh one with price of 80USD (free shipping) (But the battery cover is black )
hi
any body try or have feedback regarding this one:-

I have one of thr cheap chinese extended batteries I bought from amazon. I don't feel like I am getting that great of battery life. I get like 12 hours with like 300 texts, moderate surfing, and maybe 2 phone calls. I have 4G off almost all the time but when I turn it on i get maybe 5 hours if I am lucky. I have tried all the calibration tricks and such. Is it worth droping the 50-60 bucks on the Sedio extended battery? Has anyone compared Seidio battery life with battery life on one of these cheap Chinese batteries?
I have about 4 of the Chinese batteries that are 3500mAh supposedly. There was a guy on here selling his 2600mAh Sprint branded extended battery which is made by Seido. When I was using the Chinese batteries I felt the same way you did and I always wondered was it worth it to drop more money for a reputable brand. YES!!! This 2600 battery lasts me 2 days with moderate use. I don't have 4G here so I don't use it. I don't use bluetooth often but I do keep my wifi on at all times. I use my phone texting pretty much most of the day, probably anywhere from 1 to 20 calls per day(I don't like talking on the phone so I don't stay on long usually), I surf the internet and the market regularly and play a few games like Angry Birds Rio and a couple others. I just got a replacement EVO for my stolen one and my replacement will overclock to 1190(haven't gone any higher yet) without causing any problems. My old one I kept on 998 all the time. Ever since overclocking I have seen more battery drain, but I have had my phone unplugged for about 4 hours and have played Angry Birds Rio, surfed the market, Did a Titanium Backup of my apps among other things. The screen was on for about 1 and a half straight while doing these things and my battery dropped from 100% to 93%. Not bad and definitely better than the cheap ones.
IT IS WORTH IT!
So I went out and bought it. The first thing I noticed was that the Platinum battery is quite a bit thicker than the cheap one I got from Amazon. Now I am quite certain that these cheap batteries aren't 3500mAh as advertised. We'll see how this one holds up.

Yeah I tried to get the backplate from the cheap chinese battery to fit over my Sprint branded 2600mah battery and it won't snap on the bottom. It's a shame because I like the Covers from the cheapies better than the ones that came from Sprint. Even my 2600 battery is thicker than the 3500 ones from China.
HI
I will get my TB in next few days. (thank god, I finally get rid of my Droid 2)
the more thread I read, more thoughts in my mind. So I need some good advice.
I'm a real heavy user. (surf on net, GPS nevigation......etc)
I want to extend the time I use my TB. So I'm going to get some extended batteries for sure. BUT problem is.....what kind of batteries is good for me?
OEM batteries or seidio brand? And what Mah should I get?
Does oem batteries cause bad influence? (like my TB wont have normal function in the future)
And If I get some extended batteries, I will get the cover for it as well.
Will it cause the signal reception?
Yep, I know my problem is dumb. Cause I can't really accept any smart phone can't last a full day sage. (like my droid 2)
I use the HTC 2750 battery, and i get through all day fine. on light usage i get down to about %70 on heavy down to %40ish.
Be weary of OEM batteries with extended covers, ive heard some do not have the antenna built in. The radio signal antenna is located in that cover, so if you get one that is missing the antenna, you will have no service.
I would recommend the HTC extended battery.

To the OP - I've been using the HTC b2750 and case for a while, but I'm getting tired of its bulk and switching back to the stock phone battery and a spare.
With the TBolt and most of my other phones, I just slip a spare stock sized battery into the pocket of my wallet and swap batteries mid-day if I'm not any place where I can get some boost charges during the day. The batteries on the Thunderbolt are very thin; I really don't notice one in my wallet.

Doesn't OEM mean "Original Equipment Manufacturer"? That would mean an OEM product is one made by HTC, whether it's sold under HTC's name or another 3rd party's brand name.
Either way, the advice is sound, make sure you're getting a quality product that has all the working parts. I recently bought some 3rd party spare batteries for the Nexus S that were labelled as 1400mah (like the OEM) but when you peeled off the 3rd party label the batteries were only 1100mmah! Always buy from a reputable dealer.
I wear a clip holster and bought the extended battery along with the seidio extended battery case. Perfect match up for me.

I would choose the OEM HTC extended battery. I have it now and I get by all day on it. Usually by 10 pm, I'm around 30%.
I've had a Seidio extended battery for the Incredible and wasn't impressed by it. I believe it was the 1750 mah? While the stock was around 1400, I couldn't tell a difference between the two.

The best thing you could do is to root it and run dad bamf stripped v1.1. I use the stock kernel and get 2 to 3 times the battery life as stock, Imoseyon's lean kernel with battery saver may even give better battery life but I haven't tried it yet.
I'm going back and forth between the Seidio 3200 and the HTC 2750. I think I'm going to get the HTC 2750 battery tomorrow... I just hate the face that after spending $250 on a phone I have to spend another $50 to get close to the battery life specs posted on HTC and VZW's websites...
Most people in this section will say get the HTC battery. I'm actually going to probably get a mugen power slim battery. I've been looking up on them and they seem to be pretty good.

If you are a heavy user, you will love the 2750 HTC Extended battery, I got it, would say i'm a moderate to heavy user, and i can get 30-40 hours out of it. I love it
I initially didn't like the bulk of the 2750 extended battery especially after putting the seidio active case on it but after playing around with the stock battery I now prefer the contour fit in my hand with the extended battery. The biggest downsize now is the weight. This thing is heavy but well worth the weight.
My advice is to order it from verizon. Call up and request a discounted price, I paid 20 for mine.
Sent through the interwebs.
I would go with the HTC 2750.... I got it and it comes with the contacts for antenna
1700 battery
I ordered a 1700 battery that fits in orignal back. It is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'll let everyone know the results...
Do not use trash batteries. Stick with OEM batteries made by HTC. The 2750mah battery is fine.
I purchased a 3500 battery from Amazon with the cover and it does NOT have the antenna in the cover. I get a 3G signal but no 4G. Sending it back today.
i got one on ebay for $10, the pictures indicated it has the metal contacts in the battery cover. hong kong express mail, delivery july 15th at the soonest -_____-
OEM 2750 for sure. Like some of the other people in this thread have stated, third party batteries just have risks associated with them, and the potential benefits usually aren't worth it.
But if you do decide that the OEM one is too much, just make sure you don't get the ebay offbrand batteries. Most ebay batteries that are advertised as "extended" and sound too good to be true (i.e., 3 batteries at 1800mAh + charger for < $20) usually are, and have actually less capacity than stock.
After a few days.......
I start with stock battery in the beginning.
Gingeritis rom installed. Battery was really bad for first 2 days.
Lost 10% per hour.That's bad.
After 2 full days usage, battery life gets better, It can last half day.
Today. I got my htc oem battery from verizon.
Amazing battery life. 100% for sure.
I think there should be no problem with battery life now.
My TB is really great now.
the reason why I choose 2750 battery is you guys can see that the cover get more dmg with times you open (switch battery). So I deside not to open it too often. I think it is a right choice now.
BTW, before you go to eaby, go to verizon store, give them your accout to check discount. ebay doesnt mean the lowest price. I got my battery+cover with 40+tax.
or you can save some money and just buy a bunch of cheaper batteries off of amazon or ebay, they will be the same capacity as the standard battery but you will have more

Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a HTC Wildfire S. I am quite disappointed by the battery performance. The dialer and android system always shows 49 % usage. Is it a bug in GB or is this normal behavior ?
I feel my battery drains out very fast in a day. I usually do a 20-30 mins of call/day. About 10-20 Mb of internet data via 2G. But at the end of the day around 8-8.30 PM my battery is almost at 25-30% or sometimes less than that. I have disabled all the vibrating notifications. Wi-Fi and bluetooth OFF, I have installed juice defender which shuts the data off when the phone is idle. Though there is some improvement after this, i still feel the battery is going down.
When googled about this, everyone had almost the same complaint. And the only suggestion was to have an extra 1500 or 1900 mAh battery. Now which is the recommended battery without making any change to the hardware etc
coz i see lot of them taking a 3500 mAh battery with extra cover and changing the contacts and all. I dont want to do all those but just to improve my battery performance. Can you help me out ?
I use this battery :
http://www.batterychampion.fr/produ...rtmentProductId/76703263/shopGroupId/95658473
I can use my device almost during 3 days without any charge : calls, sms, internet and games.
Its very large. I wanted a small phone...
The 1500mAh Replacement Battery For HTC HD7 fits the Wildfire S and gives you an approximate 20-30% boost in battery capacity.
Edit: Nvm, never bought a new battery lol
and what about 1900? any suggestion?
and btw, 1500 and 1900 battery has same sizes as the original? only the 2200 and 3500 needs a new back cover ,right?
the only extended battery worth getting is the Cameron Sino 2200mah version. Yes, it does make you phone quite a bit thicker...but it's the only one i've found that does what it's supposed to do.
I tried first a 3500mah version, but after a couple of weeks it lost it's ability to hold charge almost completely, so it was actually worse than the stock battery.
Next was the eCell 2350mah version (Gold), this didn't last much longer than the stock battery either, although it did give a litte extra, but no where near the 2x capacity of the stock, as it should have been. (i think i got like an extra hour or two oout of it)
and finally....the CS 2200mah version.....where I usually get around 8 hours tops on the stock battery (i leave things syncing every hour, quite alot of texts every day, a fair bit of internt use too), I can now use my phone for 2 full days straight, and by night-time on the second day it's finally down to around 10-15% battery left, so go mad playing games for an hour or two to really run it down to nothing, then leave it on charge over-night.
I would highly reccommend this battery, it's the only one you'll ever need, and you can actually make use of the "smart" features of your phone....I can actually use programs that need GPS without having to worry if my battery will die, leaving me stranded
it only costs around £10 on ebay.....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150696338487
the thickness is something you get used to, and some people even find it a bit more comfortable to hold....so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

From my personal experiences the HD7 replacement doesn't give that boost. Maybe I got a weak unit... Soon I will order another one just to make sure.
I suggest you check this thread for comparisons between different batteries and results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419930
On page 3 of that thread I show my tests and comparisons of:
HTC Stock 1230mAh
HD7 1500mAh replacement
ECell Gold 2430mAh
Thanks to d33ps1x for his great public service testing several batteries and showing us what we can expect from them. If he didn't open that thread (and others) I probably wouldn't have shared my results.
I suggest everybody take a good luck before spending their cash.
I've recently bought the 3500mah battery with black cover at FocalPrice for 6€ shipping included.
When I get the order I'll post my results.

3500... i rly hope it will be that much, but it will more likely be 1700 to 2000 MAX
I thought that too but a friend bought it and told me that his phone stays on for a least 2 days without charging it.
When it arrives my home I'll post my results with pics of the difference.

okay, we expect your review .. .
I got the Cameron Sino Tech 2200 mAh about a week ago.
I cant give an accurate review of the battery but I've found that its well worth the extra size for the extended life, i get a couple of days out of it now.
Its cheap as well and now I have a spare battery so if I know i'm gonna be away from a charger I can take the original battery with me.

Like other people have seen (d33ps1x for example), the Cameron Sino 2200 mAh is the best bang for the buck. Even if it makes your phone "fat" it is a real power improvement.
The ECell Gold 2430mAh has barely 1600mAh inside so it's obviously false advertising when they say that they use Li-Polymer. I have one and ordered the second unit because even if it doesn't correspond to what's promised, it still gives a nice boost comparing to stock.
I'm also curious how different the two batteries can be. The second one will arrive this week. I will prepare it and test it as soon as I get it in the mail.
All those 1500mAh you can find on eBay are only marginal improvement when comparing to the stock battery. If they can provide 1300-1350mAh then you are a very lucky owner.
There are some amazing batteries out there, but they are too expensive.
I'm talking about Mugen Power Batteries:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
I had one of their batteries on my HTC Desire and it was something out of other world. If you follow their instructions (that come with the battery) you won't regret buying one. Right now the Wildfire S 1500 mAh is out of stock and will be ready for shipment on the 17th February. This means they're being produced now and who buys them will get brand new batteries, that haven't stayed for months in a warehouse. If they were cheaper I would definitely order one. If Mugen Power announces 1500mAh, they're definitely inside.
I want to buy the Cameron sino 2200 may, but will it fit a metro pcs wildfire s???
I get one or two days? I think that's good? It's longer when wifi is off.

I got the battery, it fits, but it's BIG! I got a soft silicone case and it works. It stretches and fits fine, it protects the phone without a back cover.
The battery is a definite improvement over the original.
Hey everybody,
I've tried looking to see if there was a thread about these two batteries before posting but came up with no results. I'm running a stock SGSII (4.0.4) with an Otterbox Defender (downhill skateboarding/military protection). Phone usage includes emails, texting, FB and games.
I'm looking for an extended battery after going through TWO Samsung OEM batteries within 11 months. Both the batteries got the bulge of death. Sprint store techs have run multiple diagnostics and replaced parts but have no idea why this is happening and won't replace my phone.
I came across a 'Galilio' 2500mAh battery as well as a 'Sporting Persistence' 2520 mAh battery while searching around on eBay. I'm staying away from the Andida 2300mAh after reading several stories about how the contacts were misaligned and the battery wasn't really 2300mAh.
I don't want to go with a big, bulky case due to my requirements for protection. I've read about the Mugen 1950mAh batteries being pretty decent, but they're a bit more than I want to spend.
Thoughts? Ideas? Anyone tried either of these?
Thanks!
I got a 2100mah battery that was really just a fake. It does work fine as a spare and it was cheap but its worse life than stock. I suspect those 2500mah you found are fakes too. I tried the andida which had better life than stock but the contact misalignment caused random reboots after a while.
My suggestion is to just buy an external charger and multiple batteries. I just pop an extra battery in my pocket and go about my day then if I burn thru two batteries in one day I still have the third at home.
Anything on the mugen battery? I want to keep my protective Trident case on my phone instead of putting on the cheap back and 3200mah siedo battery where I can't protect my phone... and wish to have increased battery life and I keep having the problem where when I reboot I go from 69% to 19%..... I haven't checked for battery bulge yet

In my search for extended slim batteries I learned many lessons. I kept buying them from eBay until I got to the bottom of the conspiracy.
The batteries I purchased were for my Galaxy S2 and my Galaxy S3.
Lesson #1: If the battery price is too good to be true, it probably is. Case in point, I purchased several great deals on 'Samsung' brand OEM replacement batteries, all were under $10 bucks and all were counterfeits. All lasted only 2/3s of the time compared to the old and well used battery I was trying to replace. Some of these fakes didn't even have the chip inside that communicated with my phone, so as soon as you plugged in the wall charger the phone would immediately cut off, which is bad for your operating system. If the battery doesn't communicate with your phone properly, it's a fake. I went one step further and weighed the stock battery against the replacement battery and the replacement was far lighter, further proving it was a fake.
Lesson #2: High capacity fakes. I decided to try my luck at after market name brand and generic batteries that claimed longer battery life (a higher milliamp hours [mAh] or higher capacity). I ordered them one at a time, each time one came I would weigh it, it would ALWAYS be lighter than the stock battery (the only exception is Mugen). That was my first clue at fraud. Some of these brands communicated perfectly with my phone and charged OK but they were still lighter, telling me they had less lithium and less capacity. I tested each several times (because it takes a few charges to break in a new battery) but they were the same as the others, all would last only 2/3s the time of the worn out stock battery I was trying to replace. In all cases I would return the battery and try a different brand. In the end buying Mugen brand for $40-$45 a battery is the only way to get a quality replacement battery that lasts a long time but fits like the stock battery.
Mugen batteries are the only brand I can find that actually weigh more than stock OEM batteries. Mugen batteries last a long time, just like they claim. Now I only buy Mugen. Save up your money, it is worth the extra cash for the longer life. Would you want to carry replacement batteries around with you and swap them out twice a day or just use one Mugen? I charge my phone once at night and then use it all day long. Even on days with heavy use I still put it on the charger with a charge left.
I've tried most of the names you mentioned and many more. Maybe there are other illegitimate companies other than Mugen, but I wouldn't know, and I've looked. For anyone wanting to continue my search, the key is to research the name brand and see if they have a website that looks illegitimate. Do they sell batteries for other model phones and devices? Do they sell their own brand of battery charger? If not they are fly by night and are selling you a low capacity battery with a short life but have slapped a label on that claims a higher capacity. If you order one WEIGH IT and compare the weight to your OEM battery that came with the phone.

Have you ever tried the Anker brand? I have also read that those are legit. But I will like to hear that from someone that actually runs serious tests on them. Thank you
I've had the anker battery for over a week now. With my normal use I get about 20% more life than my stock non bloated battery

I have the andida and it seems to last about 2 hrs more then the stock one but ever once in awhile when it over heats the phone resets and you lose about 20% battery

Chichitech is legit, 20$ and got a higher capacity, heavier battery for my HTC Evo 3d. I will buy from them again.
Edit not happy with my chi chi tech batteries for sgs2. Loved it for HTC evo v 4g but it seems to be decidedly higher quality than these ones for the sgs2
