I've heard chatter about a 1800 battery....but haven't seen a 1900....care to share a link to it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Yes that one!, the price of 18000 mah is around 10dlls and 1900 around 12dlls, good deal or not?

Assuming those batteries actually have that capacity then yes its a good deal, but since they're all from china i seriously doubt it.

anyway, how much extra time can you get from 100mAH?

If stock is about 1600, then 1900 is about a 20% bump. I would expect a 20% weight increase too. But most of the eBay junk does not live up to the promise.

For the record the OEM battery is 1500mAh. I recently got a China made 1800mAh eBay battery. So far the best run was 28 hours compared to near 36 hours with the OEM battery.
**Update**
I just did a third charge to dead running and got 46 hours on it. More details below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10397925&postcount=64
If this battery came from the same supplier I would recommend it since I'm having good luck so far. Yet, something to keep in mind that there is good stuff that comes from China, the problem is that quality is not always 100% consistent. Kind of like our phones with the GPS problem.

looking into getting one...my max oem battery run time was also 36 hours...i just want something for when i know i am gonna use it heavily like wifi hotspotting or video uploading

I got the 1800, and it does NOT perform as well as the stock battery.
I saw another post in XDA somewhere where someone did a test, and said it is really about 1275.
i suspect if they fit same as original, they will not be higher rated.

Anyone know if captivate and i9000 batteries are the same?

How many charge to dead cycles had you done with that battery? I've notice the more I use the 1800 battery the longer it last.

[Q] Battery for Trophy

Found a website that offers better batteries for trophy( also for other phones). Has anybody had any experience with them?
Anyways the battery I am looking at the moment is this:
mugen-power-batteries[dot]com/htc/htc-7-trophy-t8686-htc-spark/mugen-power-1800mah-extended-battery-for-htc-7-trophy-t8686-htc-spark.html

I've ordered the 1800mah variant. According to the website, it will ship out on february, 18. Will let you know.

Thanks for the link. I ordered it and got the 1800 mAh today.
The phone is currently running of its first full charge, so atleast it works.
Will get back with impressions of battery power later. Perhaps I will try to do some tests.

Well, it certainly gives me longer battery life compared with the original battery. Though I can't say exactly how much longer, if it is the specced 50%; haven't conducted any tests yet.

I also would love to hear real world tests of how well it works. Getting a day and 1/2 would be great with out making the phone bigger...
Makes me wonder why HTC didn't put a 1500+ mah battery in the first place...

There was a delay in the stock/shipping. It shipped out today. Will let you know as soon as it is in.

Have been using the above described battery for 3 days now. I don't sense a positive difference, in fact I feel that it is running out of battery a lot sooner then the original one.

Im also looking at one of these, but ive heard mixed opinions, some say it works, some say its pointless. Theres no consistent reviews, but i guess thats what you can expect from something coming from hong kong

hmm it's a bit too thick for my taste but nice boost anyway!

HTC sells a 1500 mah battery that fits into the same case. I'm thinking of getting that, at least just to have a backup battery.
Do any of these other batteries fit into the same case?
I have a US / VZW trophy.

the 1500mah battery from the Evo doesnt fit right in the trophy. and the 1300mah battery doesnt even turn on the evo? weird

I haven't run in to any battery issues. I get through the entire day with the phone at 40% battery or so with moderate usage. On my Droid before this, I had to recharge in the middle of each day.

The 1750 that fit my incredible fits and works great

Yea, I got the Mugen 1800mah battery. I did find myself close to a or a dead battery after an regular day(hour to 2 calls, some browsing/games during the day) with the OEM battery.
With the same usage with the Mugen, I end up with about 30-40% left by the end of the day. As I won't say it will be perfect by any means, it will last longer than the factory battery in my tests, no question, about 30-40% more.
And YES, it does work in the Verizon version(on the site it said it does not work with the Verizon version), as I got mine from (http://www.mugenbattery.com/) and it works great.

as a point of interest to this thread, not sure if it's been pointed out yet, the Trophy shares the exact same battery (style) as the Droid Incredible. my wife has the Incredible and I can swap batteries between the two w/ no issues. So any battery you find for the incredible will work w/ the Trophy.

best slim extended battery?

So im in the market for a new battery. A higher capacity one but slimline. I do not want a different size battery door. Anybody know of any good ones for a decent price?

Great question. I'm wondering the same thing.

I bought this one. I had to wait a month for it since is came from Hong Kong. I can get ~16 hours running the screen at 80% brightness, texting alot, 3g radio always on, constantly checking email. No complaints other than the time it took to ship.

I was sceptical but the reviews swayed me and I tried these- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XOUM12
I'm pleasantly surprised, I notice a definite difference in battery life and the wall charger is a bonus. For the price it's hard to beat and delivery was within a week.

$24??? Ouch man. I've bought tons of them and I always get them for $17 for two of them and a charger with free shipping. It usually only takes 2 weeks to get here.

Personally I have found these batteries no better than the stock htc red. With juice defender I get fair batt life with either...10-16 hours or so. I do find the wall charger useful as the battery never gets fully charged when charging in the phone.

There are no slim batteries that are better than stock, the only thing to increase your battery is to add a few millimeters oh my god, to your phone and get a 3500 you won't be disappointed, and yes like someone already said, use the search button next time this must be my like 6th time answering this question muskeg let alone if someone else did too, which I feel has happened too

the battery i have is a 2000mAh i checked it over. seems fine to me.

i get 17-22 hours with my best buy platnium battery (seido knock off) tht i bought off ebay.. so i would disagree there are some extended battery tht does work and there are some that doesnt have the right mah...

I have the 2000mah battery and its marginally better than my OEM battery.

The Seidio stock size extended battery sucks. Doesn't even charge past 90% anymore, and I didn't really notice a difference.

there isn't a real 2000mah battery for the evo, yours is most likely 1400 repackaged to say 2000. how exactly did you check it over, with your eyes?

The Best Buy battery isn't a Seidio knock-off - it IS a Seidio battery that they package for Best Buy.

Samsung EB-H1G6LLUGSTD – Battery Charger/Stand with extra 2100 mAh Battery

UPDATED -> Post, video & LOADS of pictures!
I felt like posting on XDA too - so here it is, the battery stand/charger!
I bought it for £31, I thought might as well, especially for the extra official battery.
Here's my video on it:
For the pictures in a better resolution & a little brief on it - go to my website
Finally, I was wondering if anyone else has it, and what you guys think of it?
-TotallydubbedHD

i was thinking about getting this.
does the battery have an NFC antenna in it? from your picture, it looks like it's just a normal battery...
how long does it take to charge up the battery?

That's why i didn't hesitate paying the little extra premium for it.
The beauty of having 2 batteries too, is brilliant!

Plus when you charge the extra battery here, it lasts longer, as it goes to 100% properly, not like the phone charger.

GS3 Extended Battery (4600 mAh)

Would anyone consider getting this battery? It'll more than double your battery life. Problem is how big is it and can you find a case/battery door that'll fit. And do you even need it considering you can get a good 24 hours out of it already. Thoughts?

I'm not so sure the price is fare, but this is the only extended battery that I've seen with a voltage output the same as stock at 3.8v. All the others that I've seen are at 3.7v. Not even sure if it REALLY even matters that much. But I would feel better with my replacement battery being the same as stock. Just my opinion.
