[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.

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.

What's they use with 1500mAh again?

I am looking for an extra battery. In my country, I can't find anywhere locally to buy an official Sony BA750 battery.

I have used Momax 1200mAh batt fo almost 3 months now,works perfectly but ofcourse lesser battery life. If BA750 can lasts for 12 hours, Momax probably lasts 9-10 hours with the same usage. Also,the batt level reading is not accurate after 9%,from 9% will do down to 1% in about 4-5 minutes usage,whereas BA750 will take about 20 minutes. Very recommended.

Your second and third links have nothing to do with Mugen.
As for the first one, one site claiming Mugen rip people off hardly compares to the huge number of extremely satisfied customers they have - companies don't get good reputations for no reason.
Also, if anyone does order from http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/ here's a 10% discount code: 123VC

For those who may not be aware, Momax are one of the more well-known accessory brands in HK.
I have an X-Level battery rated at 1500mAh which I was using for about a year in my X10 until I lost that phone (with the original BST-41 in it, no less.) Didn't notice any difference from the original battery in endurance.
I have a friend using the Momax EXPOWER extended battery with stand for his Galaxy S who is pretty satisfied with it. He says it gives him about 12-15 hours more endurance, which is pretty much par for the course considering its 2700mAh capacity. The kickstand in that battery is somewhat flimsy, though.
While we're talking about Mugen, I'll share my experience: I've also noticed worse performance than the original battery - despite a higher rating. The HLI-DesireHDSL, while completely usable, was USD50 I thoroughly regret spending. In fact, I noticed no difference from a SCUD (little-known China brand) battery that was gifted by a friend...

Which is a good or recommended battery for wildfire S

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.

It comes as advertised.

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.

Samsung 2000mAh VS. Anker 1900mA

So I was thinking of buying an extended battery,
since i can barely last a day with the original one.
So what are thoughts?
Samsung 2000mAh OR Anker 1900mAh?
Or maybe another battery?*
Thank you
*Please no 100,000mAh chinese batteries..

It is more expensive than Anker battery but it gives more juice (20-25% more than stock) and many people say that the phone feels better in hand with some extra weight and thickness.

I also say go for the 2000mah by Samsung. There's a significant improvement in battery life. The larger battery also doesn't get as hot. and the phone's back is now flat.

Seriously, don't fall for that super mega over xxxmAh class A or whatever made from wherever. I'm having a great experience with the Samsung one, gives me additional 3 hours (at least) with heavy usage. I'm quoting one website that describes it "the S2 that should have been" which is true enough, at least from my experience.
I promise you, you won't regret adding some more off your pocket to get one... heck I even ordered it online and shipped it from abroad!

I am ordering it from abroad as well..
Know of any website that sells it for cheap?
Best I found is 40$+- with shipping*.
Thank you all
*Shipment to Israel.
P.S
Is there any case that supports the.new ''fat'' cover?

Was it from an online shop or real one,because here in Bulgaria its 35 euro at least?

Most Romanian online shops have it at less than 20 euros, with a back cover included.

I got a pack of 2 ankers and a charger for 12 quid. Amazing.
Spent 3 days getting drunk on a scottish beach and still had battery , you can charge a battery and the phone at the same time and the batteries are small so carrying a spare is no big deal in my opinion. That way you're looking at 2 additional days charge.

Here is a link to ebay to a extended battery for galaxy s2.
Its 3500mAh and also comes with the battery cover.

I've had good luck with Anker batteries. No, I don't work for Anker or anything like that at all, just a satisfied customer. They make good quality batteries. I don't have any experience with Samsung batteries, so I can't comment on them.

Charge time for me is 1.5 - 2 hours.

Good Desire battery deals

Since the Desire is still kicking major ass (thanks to the Evervolv KitKat roms) i've decided to buy a new battery and keep using the Desire.
So i'm wondering if anyone knows good battery deals.
I'm not interested in extended backcovers, so that only leaves me with the official stock battery and normal sized third-party batteries.
The best deal i've seen sofar is:
http://www.accu-shop.nl/htc-desire-g7.html (official battery for 14,95 euro).
For unofficial battery i've seen:
http://www.interwize.nl/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=52 (thirdparty i believe for 9.95 euro).
Has anybody seen different interesting battery deals?

Search en ebay. Nice prize and more mAh

Ignore all the 2.000mAh+ batteries, they are all fakes. (They are all 1400-1600mAh)
Anyway here you go, $5 free shipping (or +1$ for registered package) http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/...600mah-replacement-battery-for-google-nexus-o
It's reliable store I'm ordering a lot of e-cig stuff from here as well as batteries.

Wow. That's not a bad deal. It looks like the battery is not an official HTC stock battery...but nonetheless the price makes it interesting.
I might try this option...

I would be really careful with those China imports. As you all know, bad quality batteries can catch fire or explode.

Lol

currently i am using Polar Cell Akku, on IDLE its okay 2-3 days, on PERFORMANCE it discharges >2 hours.
i wouldnt bought a chinese battery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457104 - my experience
edit: will test again this battery on PERFORMANCE enabling Force GPU rendering.

As i said, i'm using ton of stuff from their website including high discharge li-ion batteries - never had any issues, but whatever floats yo boat.

Careful with replacement batteries, there seem to be a lot out there with broken chip. They will report wrong Voltage and a wrong, static temperature.
So there is the risk of overheating.
Do yourself a favor and give them back until you find a working one (here only original HTC battery was OK, all others I tried had this problem )
Better a Signature than a sick nature

Yes been looking for a replacement / backup myself... seems to be a minefield on Amazon / eBay.. lots of cheap fakes around and some used sold as new.
Direct from HTC is pricey but might be worth it.
