[Q] Where to buy BETTER & GOOD replacement BATTERY for HTC Desire?

Hello Androians,
I'm from the Philippines, and want to know more about better and good replacement battery for the desire. I'm surfing and looking into Ebays. but can't decide which one and have doubts if this would fit for Desire. I've heard a lot from a MUGEN or SEIDIO batteries, but don't know which one is with greater and better battery life.
Hope you can help me decide,or find new brands of replacement batteries that provides good and compatible battery for HTC Desire.
Thanks
Regards,
Chad

google for mobilefun htc battery ba s410...
(sorry but I'm not allowed to post direct links 'cause I'm a new user...)
I saw it from another post somewhere; It is the only htc original battery I found.
I bought it last friday but not yet received, so I can't tell you how it is.

Before you dive in for a 3rd party batt ...
I read an article sometime ago comparing batteries. forgive me for not being able to remember the source (or sponsors for that matter) for the article, but HTC original batt is supposed to be of high qualities having effective charge capacity of 90% or so. 3rd party may claim higher capacity but their effective capacity is can be about 80% or lower.
This chart might be useful

If i can find the article again i will post it up.

I have also read this. Unless the battery shows a significant increase in capacity (one of those 2500-3500mah ones which require a different back panel) then the likelihood is that you will have worse battery life compared to your original HTC battery.

this is for General subForum,sorry m8 nothing with development

I bought the Mugen 3200 battery,it is bigger and comes with a new back panel but now instead of charging by noon I spent the whole day trying to get the battery to drain ,best i got was 40% after more than 20 hours of usage.

Wow. That's great. How's the performance of your HTC Desire and hows the temperature of the phone?

Im also interested where you've bought that batt.. Does it make the phone a bit bulkier? Since you said that it came with a new back-cover.. i suppose it adds to the back of the phone which is fugly.. for me at least.. Anyone tried any of the "normal" batteries and can provide feedback? Or anyone knows from where can i buy an original one? Im fine with that as long as the price doesnt go up from 25e...

Sorry for the late reply , I got it from mugs website for 79 dollars , it does make the phone a bit bigger with a lump on the back ,( this also makes most if not all cases useless ) but it is not as bad as I thought it would be from the pics and the performance.is much better than I.expected .it is now 9 : 22 pm and I have 66 % of my battery remaining I used to get this percentage by noon .

yeah mugen power batterys are the best, i also have the big one with the diffrent battery cover, sometimes i can go 3 days without charging you can buy them here http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/

Seidio battery works fine for me. I bought 2 other batteries from e-bay for less that usd10 a pop but they dont fit. They are slightly bigger. If i force it in, it can fit but not sure what will happen in the long run.

1800mAh Battery

I just found a 1800mAh battery on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/BA750-1800mAh-Ba...218652?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb7d4dd9c
I also know that Mugen Power has 1700mAh battery, but I never been Lithium-ion batteries. Thus, I thought to try this one. Anyone else also bought this battery?
or is it just fraud?

Very hard to believe, specially with that sort of price tag !!!

So this thing fits in the normal case?
This looks fantastic. I've been waiting for a normal sized battery with higher capacity
Edit: Although, look at the official SE product page:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/ba750?cc=gb&lc=en#view=overview
Same model number and everything and it's only the 1500 one. Not sure about this :s

just found this one as well and its a very low price for a battery very suspect indeed any one actually got one ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gadget-Giant-Ericsson-Capacity-Battery/dp/B0057R4Q9C would like to know if these truly exist.

The seller on ebay has selled 73 Pieces :O
Do you think that is the original ba750 with 1800mah

At those prices, I doubt it's original. Moreover, a lot of people fall for such scams because of the price but LOL, in the end, they do add up and make a lot of money for the conman
What I've learnt is that if something seems too good to be true, you're probably right.

Obviously not because BA750 batteries are 1500mAh.

2 things never to buy on ebay: sd cards and batteries.

I have the Mugen 1800 mAh battery for my X10, I just purchased a new ARC .. Will the 1800 Mah X10 battery work in the ARC? I don't believe so, but has anyone checked if the X10 battery works in the ARC ?

Completely different batteries, so they wouldn't be cross-compatible.
The X10 uses a BST-41, the Arc a BA750.
They're actually a different shape, if you've got bot handsets it should be glaringly obvious they're not interchangeable.

I bought this battery as my backup battery; well, travel a lot and have lots of fun with my arc pretty much.
I will let you guys know if it's good or worst than original one. I barely can expect same quality as original one. but we will see!!!!

Excellent thank you!

I've just recently ordered a 1800 mAh High capacity battery for my arc from Malaysia for about 25 bucks I hope it's the real deal will just have to wait and see .

Hay,

This? Somebody has an opinion?
Another link, same battery:
http://www.obostore.com/1800mah-and...ida+Spare+Battery+for+Sony+Ericsson+Arc+LT15i
Thank you the answer

I ordered the battery from obostore and I would say it's a good standby battery to have.
Battery can precharged 60%.
Charge to full and stream video off my nas with full brightness and was able to last 2 hours 45 mins before it shut down with 33% left.
2nd charge and again stream video like above and was able to last 3 hours and 20mins before it shut down with 21% left.
Now is my 3rd charge and will use it as per normal and monitor it's durability.
Btw, battery temperature doesn't reflect correctly as well. Will post more update....

[Q] Ecell - GOLD 2430MAH BATTERY FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA PLAY

Has anyone tried this Ecell 2430MAH battery ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-2430M...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326647685&sr=1-5
Still not even lasting a day with the stock battery. (GTmax one was better).
If this is junk think I will just get the 1800 Mugen Power one.
(I think the performance of the stock battery is horrendous - perhaps I was defrauded by shop I bought it from (One of the staff needed a new one so swapped theirs for mine etc. Never buy from Dial A Phone).

This was posted on my thread for the 2600mha battery. From what I make if it stay away from ecell. Here is the link. This is not from me but from another user on xda. I am simply pasting the link he provided.

I bought a case for my Xperia play from them and it's seriously the best £2.50 I've spent in a long time. I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.
Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.
HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
http://fotios.org/node/2173
I suggest you visit that link and consider carefully before purchasing the battery. I too was thinking of buying that battery but was turned off by the comments in that link.
If you do decide to buy it, let me know if it's worth it please!
EDIT: LOL jgregoryj1 beat me to it

E-Cell are a bit hit and miss, had some good and bad experiences with them, Looked at that exact battery for my play but just looks too good to be true in my opinion
Brought a case from them and it arrived in 2 days. Great case for the play too
But then again once brought a Motorola Milestone from them which took 3 weeks to arrive and came all in chinese. So like I said, the companies very hit and miss. So you take the chance with anything you buy with them
Saying that, Unlike some other people, I think the stock battery on the play is bloody marvellous. Really appreciate it after the crappy 1230mAH battery I had in my last phone - the HD7. You were lucky to get half a day out of that.

I agree. I love the battery on mine. I can get a full day using whatever I want on whatever brightness I want, using whatever connection utility i want and still have some left over by the time I get to bed. I use tunein radio on it when I go to sleep so it's plugged in all night anyway!

yeah i actually found this link "http://fotios.org/node/2173" whilst looking for other vendors selling that battery after i saw the posts about it in the battery thread. They seem fine with cheap items and bad with anything +100 dollars from what people are saying on that forum.
I ended up getting the mugen 3600 myself, but i thought id post up the link so people here could make their own informed decisions, if anyone does buy it, please post and let us know how it goes, i think alot of people would be keen for a bigger stock battery at that bargain price(if it works).
seems like a gold phone bomb atm to me though

and what do you mean....is there really an improvement of 830mha to the stock batterie?
I also got an gold ecell batterie for my "old" lg optimus speed.
I think i saw an improvement of the battery (1500 mhA Stock to 2430 mhA from Ecell)....
The improvement was ~15-20 % more power i think.

Nice, and it has an extended cover. I heard I other threads that there wasn't a extended cover. Anyone here tried the e-cell 3600mAh and the cover? Also, is the mAh increase picked up by the phone automatically, or will I have to tweak a build prop?

I have a gt max (?) 3600mah battery and the phone seems to pick up the battery capacity with no problem. Of course, your experience may differ from mine due to differences in batteries.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

i have also an 3600mha battery for my r800i and the duration icreased to about 50%.
The extended cover is really nice and fits perfectly. the only problem with the extended cover is, that it squeaks.
The extended cover also improve the gameplay with the xperia play because with the thicker back you can play really good with the gamepad.

[Q] Regarding 3500mAh battery!

Hey guys I just saw a 3500mAh battery for SGS2 on ebay. Is it safe to use such battery? I mean it won't harm the phone, will it? :O

Probably won't harm the phone, no.
I bought a 3500mAh obscurely branded Chinese battery in mid-December. Tried it out for almost two weeks, a bunch of charge/discharge cycles & estimated its real capacity was around 1900mAh. It also used to heat up a lot on recharge (mid-high 40's Celsius, which isn't normal when the phone isn't being used whilst charging).
I took it back, got a refund & bought an original Samsung 2000mAh battery. Hasn't missed a beat, is obviously close to its advertised capacity given I get around 20% more use out of a charge than I do with a 1600mAh battery.
Obviously your mileage may vary if you buy one of these (you might have a better experience than I did), just thought I'd let you know about my experience.

Well i heard that their batteries exploded in their phones......so be careful.....better pay for a better one instead of having a chance to ruin your expensive phone.

I have one of those I got from DealExtreme and it is great. It lasts 2x longer than the original Samsung battery.
I take care not to swap them often, because I am afraid that this action might damage the original cover, eventually breaking it.

Battery Life
I am still using the 1650 mAh battery (stock) for my S2.
I am really facing some battery issues. Its charging almost all day !
Yes I am using 3G all day and WiFi HotSpot too. But use wifi at home. Thats when I get good battery life. Any better way to conserve some battery ?
Any tips might help
Thanks

Got mine a few days ago from eBay and its been fine so far. It last more than 2x the regular battery. Phone does not heat up or anything strange..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

well i an getting with the original battery 24H of usage.
with the 3500mah i am getting 60H of usage... so my 3500 is truly 3500mah!
the language is hebrew.
i use congnition rom 1.51 and siyah kernel.

So, where can I see a trustful review on batteries for SGS2? What is the most extended one?
It's really frustrating that my current stock battery is only enough for 2 hd video view (4-5 hours).
Also, the higher the mAh value the more battery lifetime is, right?
I would really want to buy 3500 mAh, but it costs so little.
And the official Samsung variant that offers the longest lifetime of a battery for SGS2 is this one, maybe Mugen 3500 mAh is the best choice out there?

What is the model name of the battery? Is it being overheated in comparison to stock one?

why should it overheat?
it is lithium ... same same

Yes, it's special lithium from China extracted under full moon and blessed by a thousand virgins
Really now, if it was possible to manufacture a battery having more than double the capacity of the stock battery while taking up the same volume, don't you think the megacorporate Samsung would buy that technology immediately in order to use it themselves ? "Too cheap to be true" is valid even here; most knock-off batteries either are fake ("9999 mAH SUPER EXTRA" sticker over the original rating), or will degrade quickly in time leaving you with a dud.
Since there are already fake electronic components...
... why not fake and cheap batteries too, certainly seems to be a high demand for them.

a. it is not the same volume! in is twice as much as the original.
b. the i9100 has a circuit that allows a slow stable charge rate so i dont think it will damage the battery.

As well as being made of inferior materials, not being subjected to the same QC, not having the fuel gauge chip present in original Samsung batteries, you pretty much get what you pay for.
My advice would be to avoid non-original batteries altogether, and given a 2000mAh original battery will cost around the same as one of these 3000mAh+ batteries with all their problems & poor life, it's a no brainer.
Stick with Samsung batteries.

fuel gauge chip?
i would like to see that chip in an any cellphone battery please.

If you're not aware of/don't know about the fuel gauge chip in original SGS2 batteries, you've probably been living under a rock since the phone was released

well i think that you misunderstood the meaning fuel gauge.
there is no chip in the battery that is in charge of the fuel gauge.
furthermore there is no use of recalibrating the battery in out i9100 model.
all you gave me is a link you Google...
please... show me that chip! i would like to learn something new about lithium batteries..

Plz can you Possible link topic of the battery

Does it have power for a long time or loose it after month of usage?
Thanks in advance

I have bought Hinorx 1750 mAh battery, but it's temporary solution...
I need one of those two if they aren't fake or worst quality on the market

Well... I had 800mAh battery on my old Nokia and (I don't know why bought a "brand new, ultra, mega, hyper" battery.... with 4000mAh... I don't know how naive I was these days (as my laptop did have only 3700mAh battery ;D
And... the battery I bought for my mobile lasted only few hours (with NO activity) in comparison to single day for the OLD and USED battery so... after alll I bought a genuine Nokia 800mAh which was much better.
At this moment I really don't trust batteries for mobiles saying they have few thousand mAh of capacity... (just compare the sizes to the batteries in the laptops
I do not recommend buying anything suspicious and by suspicious I mean everything more than 10-20% of your original battery capacity.

@wolfensg thanks for your reply
i bought 1750 mAh Hinorx battery...
manufacturer says that after 3-5 charging cycles battery will reach it's full potential... so, i will do it and post results if anyone needs that info
btw, battery is about 10€ so i dont expect so much
