I really want the max power but the main reason is I still want to use the stock battery door. I need it to fit on my bike mount and if it's any thicker it won't fit. A quick search came up with this.

I've seen allot of different battery threads but most are for thicker extended. I'll probably get one of those too but for now I need something stock sized with the most battery life.

if you can wait, I'd get the ones off ebay. They are cheaper and last for quite a while. Galileo ones

That's what I was thinking ^
And I don't think there are any batteries that have more mah's then stock. They're all lying. I have galilios and they claim 2000 mah but I read online they're actually 1300 which is less then stock.
But they make life so much easier and better. So don't worry about what mah they are as long as they come with a extended charger. You'll be happily fine
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

I just bought the one posted in this link here. They havent arrived yet but are these ones suppose to be the real deal? Actual 1900. They are actual HTC batterys so they probably are hopefully?
Edit- i read all the reviews ( well 20-30 ) of them and it seems its a 75% chance they are good batterys. Other 25% is dead on arrival. Wont receive 2 batterys or that the batterys stop holding a charge after just 2-3 months. Well see! Oh they arnt HTC actual brand. My bad!
I bought some off eBay that were HTC branded 1800 mAh that fit perfect with the stock cover. Not a huge difference, but it was worth it. I've had them for about 5 months now and they're both still going strong.

how much difference
Anybody have experience with the 1800mah Mugen Power battery? Are they any good? they are the same size as the regular one and fit the stock back cover.
The general consensus in other threads where this was already discussed is that it is a good battery. You might try searching for these threads to see some discussion

Is this the item?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/review/product/list/id/638/category/965/
This should fit the incredible 2 with the standard battery cover?
I have one on the way. Hopefully I get a few extra hours a day out of it. It would be nice to not be panic charging throughout the day.
So far not so good. Lasts til right after work for me on normal use. Reminds of the ****ty Seidio batteries

How long have you been running it 06? So my birthday present is maybe a dud then...
About a week. I've tested lots of batteries and this one is far from impressive. For $45 i feel ripped off
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Great, thanks 06. I'll report back.
I've been using the Mugen 1800 for a couple of months now; I find it does last several hours longer than the stock battery. I am certainly not a heavy user of the phone but I do a lot of reading on it and a lot of google searches. I normally get ~30 - 35 hours between charges. I usually charge over night and then turn the phone off for a bump charge in the morning...works well for me. I especially like that the battery is the same size as the original and does not require a different back.
Great to hear. Familiar with the ole bump charge coming from Dinc 1

been using this for about a month now, on my days off when I turned off the 3G it can easily last for 60~hr on wifi with minimal usage, only a few voice calls, sms/mms, and browsing. But when I have 3G on, using BT and GPS navigator for two hours, I can get about 10hr before i need charging again.
For an accurate account of my battery usage I guess I could say I get about 8 hours out of it with moderate to heavy usage through the day. With the stock battery I'd average about 10 to 12 hours or so. Heaviest battery use is of course screen and everything else I've checked as very normal (<5%).
I'll give it another week then send it back. Every aftermarket battery I've purchased has been bullcrap. The best batteries I've tried are genuine OEM HTC batteries.
The stock Incredible 1 battery is a 1300mah and I purchased a genuine OEM HTC Touch Pro 2 battery at 1500mah for $15. HUGE improvement. Made my $45 Seidio look like a 1000mah. If I could find a comparable HTC battery with a higher capacity I'd gladly pay the same price as the Mugen for it.
I used the HTC branded EVO4G/Touch Pro2 in my original DInc too, and loved it; I tried it in the DInc2 for a couple of weeks without problems other than the back cover not quite closing completely. I still had good signal strength but it bugged me that the back cover wasn't quite right so I tried the Mugen and have been using it since.
I bump charged three times this morning while the phone was off. Haven't touched the phone until now and i'm at 77%. 2 hrs and 20 minutes and I'm down 23%.

Did you charge your mugen for 12hr as they recommended when you received it? I heard when they are new they need to go through 2 to 3 cycles before you see any improvement.

I got one and have been using it for about a month now. Blows stock battery outta the water for me. I'm giving it thumbs up.
Sent From My Pocket
I have several of them. I wouldn't say they " blow the stock battery out of the water" but they are a decent stock equivalent. Only thing is they don't have the internal temperature probe like the stock battery, so if you want to monitor the battery temp you will need to get an OEM HTC battery.
Do some more looking around on Ebay for a better price. I got 2 of them plus an external charger for $21.99 with free shipping.

I purchased a battery charger and a couple of HTC batteries for $7 each. I usually go through atleast 2 whole batteries per day but I have never been able to go through all 3. I never worry about having to be tethered to a charger all day or my battery use for any reason
Does anyone know of a good, reliable extended battery that won't charge up the ass like the Mugen one does? (I'm sorry, but my Fascinate got a whole day on a $20 extended, $100 is unacceptable)

I got one from an Amazon seller for $12. I think it's 3,700 mah and I easily get a day out of it. However, it's stupid to use something that large and that adds weight and bulk to such a thin and light device. Especially when it's just as inexpensive and easy to simply buy 2 or 3 stock-sized batteries and a wall charger on eBay. I carry 1 or 2 spare batteries in my back pocket and don't even notice they're there. Why wouldn't you do this?
im currently testing this one.
on my 2nd cycle right now with 26% left im at:
21hs up time, 3hrs screen time about 1hr Pandora. been on 4G/3G the whole time with all my radios on but GPS.
it seems like im getting about 30% more life out of this batt vs the OEM. which seems to be getting me over a full day of use with out needing a charge.

MUGEN is a great brand, i know because i own their battery for my G2 and S2, you get what you paid for man. on test i found that the MUGEN outlast the SEIDO by 30-40 min screen on time under hard benching...now this data is of course base on S2 battery.
right now i am testing Hyperion, look for my post, i will give more update soon as i am on my 3rd full charge right now, will bench by the end of the week. I am in talking with MUGEN and Anker to give me a free sample to do a review on their battery,
id agree that "namebrand" batteries tend to yield better results.
in fact i would have personally preferred a Samsung Extended battery. but i cant see spending $100 one a 4000mAh battery from Mugen when a replacement 63Wh batt from Samsung for my M11x is $125.

Just throwing out counterpoints: It can be a hassle to have to shut down, take the phone out of a case (if you have one), swap batteries and put it back together, etc. With an extended, you don't miss a beat. Also, since the phone is thin and light, having a big, heavy battery isn't so bad -- makes it feel about the same as a lot of older phones.
That said, I'm using a stock battery, but have been considering a nice extended battery eventually.

I just don't see how any one can justify carrying extra batteries on a +600$ phone?
I mean the battery life is great already, not shabby by any means. I got 1d 11h with 3 hour screen on time on my Verizon phone this weekend on stock battery. But no call or hotspot like I do during my work day. But a ~2500mAh would probably last me the whole day even on a work day. I'd pay $45 for that with nice cover. (slightly thicker won't be such a bad thing on this phone)
I have few more days before I can return this phone to verizon for full purchase price of 600 bucks. But it's making me think twice about returning it because it's still 2x better than my rooted galaxy nexus.
Carrying extra batteries, at least for me, is zero hassle. They slip into my back left pants pocket and I never even notice they're there. Granted, I can see swapping batteries being somewhat of a hassle for some people but, even if you had an extra step in removing a protective case, how long could it really take? 1 or MAYBE 2 minutes? This phone shuts down quickly and boots up just as fast.
In the beginning it gave me around 2-2.5 days worth of battery per charge which was fantastic. The extended battery weighed about 3x the stock battery for outputting almost 2x. I liked the fact that it lifted the phone up so it wouldn't damage the camera lense (since the lense does stick out past the back cover). It was the same plastic as the rest of the phone so it made the phone look stock.
But after about 5 months, the battery capacity greatly decreased to the point where I was getting about 7 hours until I received the 20% battery warning. This battery was preforming worst than the stock battery.
So in the end I went back to the stock battery. What was everyone else's experience with these extended batteries?
Thanks. I was just shopping for an extended battery this morning. My stock battery is still doing okay after 14 months, but I wanted something to counter the effect ICS has had. I saw Seido's on sale at Newegg and was about to pull the trigger, I'll hold off until I hear more.
you might as well give it a try. I bought mine for around 10usd

Would you mind indicating exactly which 3800mAh battery you are reviewing?
Cell phone batteries and memory cards both suffer from a large amount of poor-product masquerading as quality. Reviews of this type of product are not actually helpful unless they identify the specific product, brand, and even seller.
I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if I purchased an extended battery for $10 and it started to go bad after 5-6 months. As comparison, my stock battery went bad after about 13 months. While paying more doesn't guarantee that you'll get something great, it is generally true in my experience that you get what you pay for.

I was gonna try the Trex or QCell batteries but held back after reading many so-so and bad reviews. Instead I decided to give the one made by Gorilla Gadgets a shot. I'll be receiving mine this week. I'll post up a review after I've had it for a few days. Hope it's awesome~!
Gorilla gadgets extended battery works really good. Had it on HTC evo, evo shift for my 12 yrs old son. On my ET4G too. No complaints at all.

I hope you're right. I just got mine today and I'm using it right now after it hit 100% charge. I hope this didn't turn out to be a waste of money. How long did the Gorilla batteries last for you on average? (not phone battery life but the actual battery itself life)?
You gotta follow this video how maximize the use of your extended battery.

Yeah, after three trexcells, two that need to be thrown out because of bulging, I just got a qcell 4100. I know the number means nothing. It said to do 6 full charge and discharge cycles in the beginning, and let the first one charge for nine hours. I'm on my second charge so far. Don't know if it's true but I read somewhere to charge with the phone off. The first charge ran reaaaly long before dying. Don't know if it was bad batteries or bad external chargers, but both my Samsung externals would only charge the trexcells to 95%, even if it was a 12+ hour charge.
Here I am about 4-5 months in on my 3800 batteries. 1 trexcell and 2 generic. Far as comparing to stock? Stock batteries make me sick now. They drain so much faster. The big ones amaze me how long they last. I do rotate the stockers in so they dont sit and go bad. So ill have a few days of extended then stock then extended ect. The performace of extended is so good I now see the big lump as sexy! I did find a great use for my stockers. (have 4) I was in my best friends wedding the other day and with no case and slim battery the phone slid in tux pocket easy lol. +1 but half way through reception I had to drunken walk way out to car and get spare -1. Right now as I set im about to hit 2 days on Trexcell on the newest Jellyverse sitting at 37% +20.
