has anyone ever found a battery that's better than the stock unit?
and no, not the humpback crazy one with the new battery cover.
something like the Seidio battery that Palm Treo users have available ... it's 2,400mAh whereas the stock is somewhere around 2,000 mAh .. same dimensions but heavier ...
Hey,
I`m looking for one too.
Has anybody an idea where I can get a cheap one? (In Germany)
What about the China Batterys?
That depends which version of the battery you have...
O2 have always shipped the larger 1250mAh battery rather than the default HTC 1000mAh battery. The 1250mAh tends to last about two days of heavy use.
There is an extended battery of over 2000mAh but that sticks out like huge lump.
1000mAh

Messiah, I advise you to be careful in using aftermarket batteries for any electronic device. More often than not, price is directly related to quality. Cheaper batteries typically do not match the OEM battery's output capacities for volts & amps, and typically they supply a faster charge, not slower. Accelerated charging can damage your device. I know a few people who have damaged their phones/PDAs after using an aftermarket piece. If you are really interested in another battery, I would spend the extra $$ and buy an OEM one from HTC, from an authorized reseller (i.e service provider), or at least a battery that has numerous positive online reviews from users.
If you are concerned about battery life, you might consider investing in a Triple Charger - it can charge the Wizard from a car (DC) outlet, in your home (AC), or in an emergency. You can attach two 9-Volt batteries to the charger, and charge your device that way, regardless of your location. You can use regular or rechargeable 9V batteries. Here is a link to the charger bundle for the Wizard - if you decide to order, enter the redemption code xdadev to receive 10% off your order:

I have a sample of 2400mAh capacity battery (third party) for Hermes. However the minium quantity of this battery is 1000pcs. Could anyone got the channel to sell it in your country? (for wholesale or retail market)
Is this as thin as the original battery or is that the thick one and needs an extended cover?
There is already a 3200mah battery available for $59.99 US so unless the 2400mah battery has a MUCH better price, it probably wouldn't be a big seller in the US (IMHO).

The original in a 8525 is 1300mAH, so if you can get a 2400mAH in the same size you probably could sell ALOT. But if you still have to add a battery door for an oversized battery then SEIDO 3200mAH is a better deal.
Have you (or anyone) tried this one
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=6103

Thank you.

Even existing standard cradle should be safe enough as it has current limit, it will take longer time to charge the battery, thats all.

Yes, you are right, but I'don't have a cradle and I'm using one of these
I was also eying for that one too. 3600 mAh, in case I bricked my battery tonight after modding. *cross your fingers*
^^ Briked the battery, classic! is it even possible?
how much time will it take to charge it.I bought the same battey
Do you bought this battery already? How long it takes to charge? Better, how long it last with normal use?
best regards
i have a 26oo mAh battery..It seems it takes a little more time to charge, and i use my pda2k for 5-6 day with 10-15 minuts of call, without using tom tom or other heavy program..
Bye bye

Hi, what means costum backcover? Can anyone put a picture of it?
i don't have that exact model. i have a 4200mah battery from ebay germany. but as you can see in the lousy quality photos (the universal really does not have a great cam) i posted as an attachment the battery itself sticks out a bit beginning about 5mm from the top and going to the very bottom, meaning, the device does not go in the cradle anymore. but it still fits the original casing. it is just 3mm thicker than the stock battery. i guess a 3600, 3200 or even 2600 battery would be even slimmer

http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Cradle-Dock...Accessories?hash=item1c0fd05e1b#ht_3640wt_972
Has anyone purchased this package? Its a USB cradle dock charger, car charger and extra battery. Its a little on the cheap side at $22 dollars for all your getting not to mention free shipping which is why im a little scepticle. I need a dock though and an extra battery so i wanted opinions/feedback first. Also, is that an extended battery or is it the same specs/mAh as a stock battery? That car charger looks like junk, i already have an OEM Motorola one though so i dont care about that...Good to have a backup though i guess just incase. Let me know whats up folks.
Opinion
For $22 dollars, its not a bad deal but I would be nervous about putting a cheap battery in my phone. Leakage or worse.
The battery is actually pretty good quality, it's not horribly bad or anything. I bought that after my stock battery began to fail on me (couldn't hold charge, etc.) The battery holds its charge quite well, and i'm not too concerned about it leaking or anything. Although, my battery does fit quite tightly into the space, a lot tighter than the stock g1 battery.
I have one if these and I like the dock. Haven't really used the battery. I had just bought a replacement battery for my G1. You don't just drop the phone in the dock. It takes a little manuevering sometimes to get the connecter in the bottom of the G1.
The dock with the "Bedside" app from the market makes a very good alarm clock.
i wish they made this in white
I don't have a car and I don't like dinky cheap batteries. So I went a bought a piano black dock for the g1. It's pretty nice cause it's got 2 usb slots (1 for power and the other for data) and a 3.5mm jack on the back and it can charge a second battery. I like it a lot.
The only problem I had with it was the fact that I had to plug in the stock headset mic thingy in order to have phone call capabilities while device was plugged into dock with speakers also plugged in.
Not that bad of a problem and it works great.
Just do an ebay search for Piano black dock g1...
oops i goofedd
Want to find out what the model # is for the HTC branded extended battery for the GSM Touch Pro 2 as well as the MAH for it(I have found some online I just want to make sure its actually the 1 from HTC & that it will work). Also would like to make sure that the one that works with the Tilt 2 is the same & will work with my T-Mobile version? I did do a search and after spending 20+ minutes going through posts not finding the answers I figured I would ask. TIA
Hi, i found this link, it includes a 2800mah battery and a cover. But, as i am a new guy i cannot post links. Just google batteryupgrade.com This one has a black backcover, but there is also one with a silver cover.
Greetz,
Steyn
Oh, and the number is CS-HDP180BL.
Greetz,
Steyn
And i have found the "Seidio Inno 1750mAh Extended Life Battery", just google it.
This one is very good because it fits underneath the existing case.
Yes the TP-2 is a power hog...
The HTC extetended battery part number is 35H00124-08M.
You need to get the extended back as well part number 74H01486-01M.
Be careful about battery upgrade.com though -- theres another thread on here ("2800mAh from BatteryUpgrade.com ") detailing the problems another user has had with the battery and extended cover (which turned out to be crap apparently).
Hi
My battery on TP2 drains in 1 day, what is best solution/replacement for it??
...2000mAh or more???
ps: this is my first post
I ordered two 2400mh OEM extended batteries and doors for my Tilt2..they work as expected, which is good...the Tilt2 has the micro usb with no headphone jack, and the PTT button on the side...which makes it different from other touch pro2's....if that hadn't been the case, I would have gotten the Seidio 3500 Mh battery and door...I don't care that the phone gets larger, I wanted max power...
I have ordered Seidio batteries and doors for other products, and they kick ass..3500 Mh is the way to go...if you're still looking for batteries for these phones try Seidio
I would like to upgrade my battery to get more than a day out of it but how do I know what moble I have please? also where is safe to buy from?
Always had good expeirence with http://shop.htcpedia.com/
Reliable, OEM, pull your battery and read the label underneath best clue as to your device. Don't be afraid to contact them with help questions they've been great to me and parts I needed for the 5 HTC devices I own.

I guess this will help me and others know the difference if some one can identify please?
mini usb with headphone sign to the right.
Handy (and cheaper?) espcecially if they are not easily found in your area.
Things to note:
1. Only work from a more premium brand battery, e.g. "super charged bunny".
2. The sub cells extracted are slightly shorter than a AAAA battery. You need to add a strip of connector which can be found from the dismantled 9V battery.
3. The sub cells are unmarked (-/+), special care must be taken with the polarity.
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-get-6-aaaa-batteries-from-9v-battery-267606/
Tried and tested myself :
update 1: doesn't work on the battery I disassembled. Maybe only apply to certain brand.
update 2 : as rowards pointed out, indeed only certain 9v battery yield 6 AAAA batteries. Tried on a "super charged bunny" and it works. Though the sub cells are slightly shorter than the normal AAAA batteries - I had to add a strip of connector (from the disassembled 9v battery) to make it work.
It works-but you will need a more premium battery-much like the "copper top" one or the "super-charged bunny" one. I have done it with the copper top battery and it did yield 6 AAAA batteries. I learned that the lower-branded 9 volts do not use AAAA batteries inside (more like pile batteries inside). Try it with the upgrade brands and you will be very satisfied. Just be careful when you pry the casing off the 9 volts.
what a creepy video.... the haunting voice and that porn music...
This is an old Kipkay trick from many years ago. AAAA and AAA batteries are the same size. So you could in a pinch, disassemble one for your tv remote till you get to the store.
sent from my ppc through win97 servers bypassing exchange security
AAAA batteries aren't the same size, if you mean internally they might be but an AAA battery definitely will not fit in the stylus normally.
ugh had to buy mine aaaa from microcenter after stopping by couple stores that do not have them.
What uses AAAA batteries? Any tricks for getting N batteries? Those are getting pricey, thankfully me 41cx can go a long time on them.
Pictures!

The htc flyer/view stylus uses them.
For those who are curious about how this turns out, it works, as said before. Here are some pictures about HOW exactly it works. I used a 9v Energizer battery.

works great thanks!!
Big caution here folks...the negative end (with the peg) is unfinished and EASILY prone to short circuits. Last thing you want is your pen becoming a trick exploding cigar.
The reason these are smaller than an actual aaaa batteries is because they are unfinished. They don't have a cover on the negative end (with peg) and no familiar "button top" on the positive end.
Also, some cheaper brand batteries that have these quadruple a's in them don't always have a full 1.5 volts. Some under rate as low as 1.3 and will cause the pen to behave funny (like constantly write without touching the screen). I guess when they are connected in a series to make the 9v, it's close enough. You get what you pay for sometimes.
Anyway, would hate to see anyone hurt. Beware if your pen feels warmer than your hand!
Cheers!

I tried that, it actually work without adding a strip. I just pull the "spring" longer and it work
