Hi,
On Monday I have received this 2800 ma extended battery ordered few days before:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/HTC-TOUCH-PRO-2-II-EXTENDED-2800mAh-BATTERY-COVER-NEW_W0QQitemZ160356657205QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_AudioTVElectronics_PDAsAccessories_PDABatteries?hash=item2556006835&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Some pics of the thing plugged on my phone are attached.
So, ok I must admit, the phone looks is heavier but it doesn't feel really bulkier on hands.
The main drawback is that the stylus is harder to pull, you'll have to stop bitting your nails to get it
The finish it not that bad for the price you paid. it's the same glossy one as the original back cover.
Regarding the battery life, I got it on Monday evening, now it's Friday morning and I still get 10%!!! My use is above average with push on windows mail / gmail (since 2 days), internet, some calls/ sms, music through A2DP...
Whatever, I feel the battery life is at least 2 times the stock 1500ma battery.
I think it worth the try especially for the price!
By the way, I just saw a 3000ma battery on ebay this morning. The back cover looks better but the seller has "0" feedback.

Thanks. Can you show us a picture of the back, where the loudspeaker is please? and let us know how it goes in terms usage. -This could be great for short trips instead of bringing a charger.
2nd the picture on the back, and while your at it one of the bottom please. Nobody is making one for sprint yet (we have the 3.5mm jack), and I'm wondering if a little dremmel work on the new back cover would make it fit my phone.
Thanks!
I've had more then my fair share of experience buying non-oem batteries and it has never been pleasant. At most, I only get a few months out of them before they start draining really fast or fail to charge to 100%. For only 15 quid, I'm skeptical as ever.
Please report back your results in a month or so.
got that battery,awhile back, haven't reeally put it through the paces, cause I have a T-mobile branded phone, and at the time, I bought the battery(few months back) it never mentioned that it only fit unbranded
I posted a review on another site, so I will paste part of it here with some pics.
I bought one of these off eBay and it was advertised for the T-Mobile Touch Pro2. While the battery fit, the cover did not. (The T-Mobile Touch Pro2 has a really thin battery cover.)
I was wondering how that error was made.
Now on seeing this post and your pics, well... it's that the cover the seller sent to me was for the European Touch Pro2 model (and U. S. Sprint, AT&T and Verizon?)
My cover looks exactly like the one in the pictures, so I know that it is the same one .
I contacted the seller and he said to send him pics of the issue so he could inform the engineers. I humored him and sent the pics, never to hear from him again. He wanted me to pay for return shipping to get a refund. Since it was a $25 purchase I just said forget about it and left him negative feedback.
Now as to the item, the battery seems well made (I tested it while the phone was sitting on my desk. I just could not take it anywhere since I did not have a proper cover.)
But be warned, while the cover looks OK in the pics, it is cheap soft pliable plastic. To me it looks and feels like it will warp over time or parts of the plastic will suffer fatigue damage.
It attaches (near as I can tell) via small protrusions around the phone where it clips on. Since it's cheap plastic I can envision the clips breaking or warping. Leave it in the hot sun, on a car sear or dashboard, I suspect the cover will warp, if not melt.
All said and done, since the battery works well (so far, in my limited testing) it is worth the price I paid ($25 shipped.) It says on the package there is a 12 month warranty. Does that mean it will be worth the expense to ship the return and pay for shipping a replacement back to you (probably $30), probably not.
Batter 2800
I also got this battery with cover for my Vodafone TP2. Sure plactic is cheap (I cannot tell that original back cover is much better...), but hole for stylus disappointed me at all- I have to use pen or scissors to extract it out. Better do not leave it thee at all.
Anyway battery works longer.
I am much content with replacement battery 1600mAH which lasts longer than original (bought on UK ebay , too).
Can I get a brand new HTC version of just the battery door on my T-mobile Touch Pro 2?
I'm not looking for the housing piece, just the door that clips off to put in your battery/slim
thanks in advance
the way the first version door goes over the sides, the tmobile version "clips" on so to say, no overlapping on the side
so i would not think so

hahahaha 20$ yeah wait like 2 years to get one at the price. im willing to pay 30.00 not 45.00
it looks like the price dropped down to 30 bucks. still a little too high. does anyone know why these are not available. i find it odd
I wouldn't mind paying $30 if I thought I could modify it to hold an extended battery!
Anyone know of an extended battery for the Tmobile TP2 yet?
anyone know anyone selling a tmobile touch pro 2 battery door in the US for $20?
thanks once again

There are a lot of items on ebay for about that price, but those may ship from overseas.

Mugen sells one for $79, has a thicker back door. 3200 ma, got sure how well it works.
battery door
i lost mine at a club and the only place i found replacements was on ebay from hong kong.
I decided to buy the extended battery pack with the large battery and oversized cover from Mugen. I've been very pleased with it. I dont mind the extra size for the amount of extra juice I get. you might think about going that route. I just didnt want to trust buying from ebay in hongkong

I haven't wanted to go the Mugen route due to the cost.
However, I have had good luck in ordering off ebay from Hong Kong. Never had an issue there, except it takes a couple of weeks to get the stuff.

I'm just wondering if maybe some of those cheaper oversize batteries on ebay would fit under the Mugen cover. I like to keep a spare battery and swap them rather than recharging.
Does the back of the cover exactly fit the Mugen extended battery, or is there some space there?
Which one to get? I am really tired of the battery life I am getting from my current batteries. Also where can I find either one of them for a cheaper price than paying out the nose for one?
Extended OEM all the way. It's made by HTC, and you are getting what you will pay for. As for best price, look online, don't think you can find it any cheaper than $50-$60. But you could sell your stock battery for $15-$20 on eBay maybe and recoup some of that money.
+1 definitely go with stock. The Seido battery is junk.
Go for OEM, I got one with my Thunderbolt and have been using it constantly since launch day. The only annoying thing about it is that where the sides jut out, it squeaks a little if you squeeze it, making it feel cheap, but I get over 6 hours of hotspot usage on a single charge.
aftermarket batteries
I got two 1700ma batteries and a battery charger from a place called chichi tech with HTC branding about a month ago (with much apprehension) . All was about 43.00. Don't know about the ma rating butbatteries last about 20% longer than stock. Just my experience fwiw
I ordered a bundle of 2 GTMax 3500 mAH batteries, cover, and a lanyard for about $24. I was wondering if that kind of deal is good for the price or it seems as a scam for something so good.
So my question is, are they gonna be safe and actually work?
Price: $24 USA
Bundle
2 3500 mAH Extended Batteries
The Extended Cover
Free Lanyard
Anyone????
Post again....
They should be fine as long as they provide the same out put as the stock battery.

Ya they should work. I got a sketchy battery of ebay and it worked perfectly for me. As long as it's for your phone it should work. Gtmax is also a pretty trustable company so everything should work...
For anyone still considering this battery: I ordered one for my HTC Vivid and it didn't even last one day. It came with a 60% charge. I brought it up to 100% and used it for a few hours down to 55% (which was looking much better than the Vivid's OEM battery). Then, unexplicably, when I tried to bring the phone out of sleep, I got nothing, with or without using AC. The phone wouldn't turn on or charge. At first I thought my phone itself was dead until I put in the OEM and it turned on and rebooted fine.
I'm waiting for an RMA from Newegg and trying to decide if I want to exchange it or just get my money back. I might give it a second try on the hopes that I just got a bad battery, but I think, bottom line, you get what you pay for.
So I recieved one of those ebay generic batteries with the Black and white leabel yesterday.
it was marked 2600 mAh rating.
I peeled back the label to see whats underneath. Much to my surprise there was no casing! Its just a thin plastic frame around the outside. The cell inside did not even take up all the space. there was 1/8" X 1" thick strip of foam along the length.
I'm not gonna rip open my OEM battery but damn...I'm sure the Samsung isnt like that!
So after a full charge, the battery life was pretty dismal. 2 hrs of light use, no games, brought it down to 60%. then i went to sleep. in the morning it dropped to 33%. from that point i went down to zero after 1 hr of web browsing, sitting on my desk.
i'll upload pics later
EDIT: just slapped in the 2nd fully charged battery. its down to 87%. i took like 3 photos and nothing else. FAIL
not all generic batteries are suck!
i bet your generic battery is lighter in weight?
Anker battery weight the same as oem samsung battery.
i havnt used oem samsung battery after i got my Anker batteries.
I should specify ebay ones. Yeah i ordered a pair of ankers and a charger this morning. I however did see some nice looking battery cases with 3500mAh ratings, kind of like an external sleeve/backing.
however this makes the phone even longer and thicker, but not as gross looking as the 5000mAh double sized batteries. sadly, they are in the $45 range
EDIT: like this

i wouldn't buy from here tho. seems sketchy

why should they not capitalize on people who look at only price and not quality? they sell crap because people buy it, and they know that you wont pay to ship it back to China for a refund. See they can ship to the US for nothing our postal service delivers it and we get the increased postal rates. Now if you purchased from a real American business you would have a better quality battery because American sellers cant get away with that crap.

I don't find the logic in such a stereotypical post.
I bought similar...from a US seller...shipped from the US. ...same result...crap batteries
Seller did refund half of the purchase price and told me to keep the batteries.

HHHUMMMM you spend $10 and .....
complain it is a piece of crap, not sure if you know you get what you pay for in this world. Continue to go cheap and you get cheap at some point you have to spend money for quality. Not saying the most expensive is the best, but do your research and buy the best bang for the buck vice the cheapest for the buck.

go look at this freaking loser review on amazon. he spent 14.99$ for 2 batteries and charger, that is like 5$ for each item. And he get pissed off cus the charger takes too long to charge compare to samsung charger.
that is like getting a kia and get pissed off cus it' not as smooth or as comfortable compare to Mercedes!

That, and his second battery was defective? Don't be overly biased here.
I have 2 Anker batteries and they seem comparable to my OEM's. No better, no worse. Hopefully in time they will still perform.
They aren't even broken in yet.
In the end, they will still suck, but hopefully not that bad. I wouldn't try to use your camera with flash on using an aftermarket battery though
EDIT: Also some gentleman was selling OEM note batteries, wall charger adapter, and a USB cable for 20$ shipping on eBay. I picked one up, it's perfect, and a steal of a deal.
well ive been trying to cylcle them a few time turning EVERYTHING on and maxing brightness etc.
still. felt like i opened a big bag of chips and finding it only half full. Im curious if others found the same thing in "better" batteries?
EDIT: I fully knew i wouldnt be getting the full rated mAh as i just wanted cheap, backup batteries. I've bought many of these before, but never opened them till now.
These batteries have since been retired. Do yourselves a favor, buy the "Anker" brand batteries. Theyare as good as oem and cheap too. Under $20 for two including a stand alone charger with usb output and 600mA.
