Hey guys, well I got a replacement 8525 today. The new 8525 (now branded AT&T) came with a 1300mAh made in China by Sanyo battery model HERM 160. My old 8525 has a 1350 mAh made in Taiwan by DynaPack Co battery. model HERM 161
I know that the 1350 mAh is supposed to last longer, but which one has quality cells? So which battery should I keep?
Sanyo has a pretty good reputation for batteries. I wouldn't worry about it much as you'll probably be looking for a jumbo battery soon if you use it much.
i would go for the dynapak, ive had that in my prophet and it was really good, however Sanyo is probably the best cell manufacture (if its not counterfit)
I have both, and get much better life out of the 1350 battery... The Sanyo has less battery life, for me...
Hi, is there a choice for more powerful battery (1500mAh or more, for ex.)?
I've had very good results with batteries from Seidio. The 8525 pack from them is labeled 1500mah "Japanese Cells assembeled in Taiwan". I have two and they are excellent.

3000mAh battery It is the biggest available for the Hermes. Also cheaper than boxwave and others on ebay. Only about $27 including the shipping.
Holy Crap! The next choice will be one of those hats with a battery strapped to each side with a coil cord dropping down to the phone, now that's power on tap!

Yes!
I chose a single battery to charge up and simply keep on me for emergencies as my WM6 rom keeps my default battery topped up for well over 2 days.
I wanted a long life battery but decided to stay with a thin phone as it would mean messing about each time i sat it in the desk top charger or case.
Each to their own though.
The single battery charges remarkably quick and lasted ages so am using it instead of the 1 month old original. The seller is VERY quick and also sells other size hermes batteries too.

Charging once a day is good enough for me! So whats the strongest battery I could get for the 8525 without enlarging the back of the phone?

Looks like it's the 1500 mah battery. I saw the Seido one, but they were charging like $50 for the whole thing (including shipping to SF, CA). I saw this site, and it looks decent, so I ordered from there for much cheaper...

If I get forked on this, I'll be sure to rave loud and hard to everybody, but I'm not that concerned. I used PayPal so at least I didn't have to give out my CC number. Site doesn't look that high quality, but if they have the goods and deliver the goods, no worries.

Hey,
I used a CS 1500mAH in my TYTN, not better than the serial battery. Today I used the mugen 1500mAH, very better.
I think CS is cheaper but they have not the full capacity they sell.

Hi,
are there stronger batteries for the Hermes device available?
Shipped one is about 1350mAh, maybe a third party offers 1900mAh.
I have seen a 1500 mAh ones, but I think some 3rd party battery manufacturers are a tad "optimistic" when they state their batteries capacity, so i dont know if they last much longer than the original battery.
There are indeed some compatible and HTC original batteries (same as for HTC Apache) with capacities up to 2800mAh, but there are no compatible battery covers for the Tytn yet, since the batteries need extra room, thus battery compartment extension.
3000mAh soon: http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=473
Boy! Can't wait til they come out with that one!
More Power More Power !
WOW They even have a 4800mAh now
http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=324
Could you imagine.. This would be a small heavy weapon sorta.. You could throw this and really hurt someone.. Just the weight of the unit with this power pack.. YIKES..
4800mAh is for Universal.
Mugen Power Netherlands rep say they are working hard on a same-size-as-original power battery with around 2000 mAh. Waiting for that one. Of course the price needs to be right, not 1/10 of the device´s price.

is it physically the same size as original?

i believe the one i bought is the same one as kramer11's but it's about the same size as original. seems slightly thicker but you won't notice the difference.
you probably won't notice the battery life difference either as it is only 150mah difference. i ended up purchasing a 3000mah one and have started using it from today. it makes the device thiker but it's a great stuff that comes with a replacement battery cover. recommended for anyone who wants longer battery life.
I dont understand why the hermes battery is twice the size as the htc wizard and is only 100mah more.
Anyone ?

Can you post some pics regarding how does this battery look on your TyTN? And how is that working out? Would really appreciate some more details .. Also, where did you buy it from?
How about this one?
http://www.boxwave.com/products/hig...ded-battery-htc-wizard-cingular-8125_1160.htm
It's for the 8125/Wizard
Would it work in the 8525 / TYTN?
--sorry some how i missed posting the link, how useful was this post?
Boxwave battery response
I requested that boxwave look into compatibility of the ElectraSpan Extended Battery (which allready works for the 8125/Wizard) for the 8525/TYTN.
The response I received from boxwave was they would look into the request but it depends on requests (demand) received as to how quickly they will develop/offer the new products.
So here is the link to request the extended battery for the 8525:
http://www.boxwave.com/community/request/request_model_103.htm
Fill in your name and email and then a quick note telling them you have the 8525/TYTN and hit submit. If enough of us request this battery they'll probably bump it up on their priority list.

Nice capacity (2500 mAh) but it blows away the same leather case they sell that I just got for my Cingular 8525 I'll wait for battery technology to get slimmer, thank you very much. In the meantime, I just acquired a second 1350 mAh battery so I can pop it in if needed.

I'm wondering does the 1350 mAh vs 1500 mAh makes a lot of difference? The price for 1500 mAh is about nearly 50% more expensive. I need some feedback.

For the prices I saw them for its worth it
My battery certainly lost alot of its operational lifespan since it wouldnt keep charge even for a single day?! I figured a 1500mAh is only a plus point!
Wow! I just bought a 3000 mah battery for $16.00. It should be arriving soon.
Not keen on the back of the Hermes extending out that far to accomodate the 3000 mah battery. It increases the width of the phone by almost half again....

Finally got it on Saturday. My old battery wouldn't last 24 hours. This one has lasted 24 hours. I put it in today for the first time and let it run out today and now I am fully charging it for the 1st time. I will keep you posted. Tomorrow will be the big test because it will have had a chace to fully charge.
Coool...let us know how it works out for U. I'm definately going to order it if U give the thumbs up!

Ok the verdict is in. I really like this battery. It does last longer than the standard one that came with the phone. The best thing is that it is the same size as the original battery. It has given me that little extra battery time that I need. I would guess another 10-15% of battery life. If you need a battery get this one. If you are fine with yours stick with what works....
ive gone with one of the 1650mAh ones buzzing round ebay.
its like...20% better than the original one i got with the phone, and like 50% better now that i have gone back to 0 cycles used.
the original battery that i had lasted 1.5 years.
enough was enough.
this one lasts a day and a half no probs.
once get a new battery, what should i do with it? should i drain all the battery power then charge it full up again? or should i just charge it up? but i do know that to keep the lifespan long, we should keep it charging whenever we can. i got it from one the threads somewhere...

Even though I just got my battery now I want the bigger battery like yours. I am never satisfied.
dogeatdog01,
Can you tell us which reseller on EBay you got your battery from? I want to get a 1650mah battery, but the only reseller I see that carries them for our phone is Total*Power*solution out of Hong Kong. I'm hesitant to order from them because I got burned by another HK reseller last year when I bought a USB flash drive and never received it.
I have seen warnings about memory, flash drives, and batteries specifically coming from HK. Apparently they have a tendency to overrate their products spec. I figure if you got yours and it seems to exhibit the increased performance you were seeking, that if I order from the same reseller (assuming a power seller here) I won't be disappointed.
Thanks
Bad battery?
I have both a 1350 mAh and a 1500 mAh battery, and don't notice a difference in longer battery life between the two. Maybe I've got a bad 1500mAh battery? It's a Seidio 1500mAh battery, the guys who sold my 8525 to me gave me that battery plus the stock battery. I do normal call usage plus I have direct push email, so more battery life would definitely be a plus for me.
3600 mah if you can spring for it
I got a 3600mAh from Mugen Power. They have their own website, also on eBay. The price was $70 or so, if I recall correctly, took about a week to the East Coast of USA. I'm able to run IE and bluetooth all day and it only drops it to 90% on my HTC TyTn
I'm wonder if there is any batteries out there that you have seen from a brand you trust that use the stock diamentions as the stock battery, eg doesn't require extended back casing, only one I know of is the Seidio's 1400mAh, is there anything higher? Better brand, better price?
the only ones i've seen bigger have the extended batteries. they go up to 2600mAh.
buy one. believe me. its worth the big back/ugly bump.
function>aesthetics anyday(at least for me)
I already have one 2600mAh from Seidio, I do enjoy the extra grip when qwerty typing but I don't enjoy it in my pocket. Thus the reason I'm asking, rather get 2 x 1400mAh batts and shove one in my wallet if you know what I mean
i feel the exact opposite. i dont mind it as much when im not using it. when im holding it i cant stand it. but i do like the fact i dont have to keep a charger handy all the time. i know theres a couple normal size batteries around that SAY there 1600mAh and up but there kind of shaky to me. no brand name, barely even a name at all half the time. i wont trust anything besides seidio for extended life, i have a seidio 3400mAh i think in my tilt and its EPIC.

The results will suprise you...
so it seems like it may not be entirely beneficial to get the 1600(or 1700) mah battery?
Keep in mind that only HTC original batteries have the finest "part" in switching into tickle charge mode (the moment when the battery gets full and quits charging)
2600 mAh battery on G1
Hey guys, so I purchased a 2600 mAh battery for my G1. I LOVE it! My G1 stays on for days! Despite having the extended back on the phone I think it was well worth it.I got it on EBay for pretty darn cheap too. Anyways...I don't have any screen shots of it as of right now but I'll try to get some up. My phone does look like a brick but the battery life is improved so much! Look them up on EBay if you would like to buy one,anywhere else is probably a rip off. Anyways...just thought I'd give my two cents. Take it easy guys! TTYL!
I really want the Seidio 2600 but I've gotten attached to my hard case, it has the hinged feet, and I'm not sure that 1400 would be worth the cash for the amount gained IMO... If Seidio made a hard case with the feet on the back it would be perfect.
Just bought a seidio 2600, 51 shipped from amazon. It's a little high compaired to the 2300 for like 30 or so from ebay, but I think it's worth it for a good branded 3rd party accessory.

people have been talking about a 1600mah battery made by Andida, a Hong Kong-based company. from what it seems, they make quality batteries and some people at XDA have them. it fits into the regular G1 back... it's on ebay: obo_hk or something. $10. otherwise yeah the 2600mah seidio's are best. i just bought the seidio or would switch to the Andida. maybe my dad will let me do a return since the Seidio was bought on Amazon

ive always used mugen powered batteries when it came to extended, they are the best quality out there. a little pricey but the best.
for the touch pro they have two out so far:
1800mah STANDARD SIZE battery. i am looking into getting this one because their is no need for a extended backpeice, its the original size.
http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.info.../es109514_es120302495377/Products/HLI-T7373SL
the second one is a 4500mah extended battery that comes with a new backpeice.
http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.info.../es109514_es120302495377/Products/HLI-T7373XL
one question i have is, will the backpeice fit the tmobile US touch pro 2 ? the tmo us touch pro is just a flat cover that dosent go around the edges, but looking at the unbranded tp2 and the backpeice goes around the edge. so are they a different size or the same ?
in opinion, which one is a better value ? taking into thought the size difference
I would get the 1800mAh for 2 reasons.
1. Better value for money.
2. No extra battery cover needed. OEM TP2 fits fine with 1800mAh
If you do buy the 1800mAh, please do post a review...
also if you look on the mugen website, they also have a 3000mAh for $80 which fits the TP2 but a extended battery cover is needed which is supplied...
I'll surely go for the 1800mAh. not that pricey after all, if it really gives that 20% more usage time with no need for weird battery covers and so on! I've been crossing my fingers for months hoping to see a standard size / increased capacity battery!
moreove mugen power batteries are well known all over the world as I can see, and much appreciated by many users, which is good!
wow I'm so happy! jayizzbakk you're the man!
UPDATE: all htc touch pro 2 t7373 batteries are currently out of stock. I wonder when they'll be back on stock again??
I purchased one of these on eBay without thinking. No it doesn't fit the Tmobile USA Touch Pro 2.
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370245860031&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT>
I'd think having a 4500ma battery for trips etc would be great.
I'm guessing the one you listed is not for the Tmobie Touch Pro 2 either.
I have one of the 1800 ma batteries on its way to me now I will let you know how it does on the Telus TP2

I was looking into getting one for my Telus TP2 as well. Please do post a review.
no problem, im also waiting for them to come into stock. im afraid that it wont be a big difference
I don't think there is is an extended battery with a rear cover made for the At&t fuze...\
I too went on ebay, bought a 2800mah and cover, not realizing what the descript meant by unlocked (unbranded)
blasted the seller with negative feedback, there in hong Kong, even if they where to credit mysale and shipping both ways, I wouldn't have been satisfied, for the time I waited and that was with me paying express.... they should have written Unbranded, not unlocked(unlocking is software, un branding is hardware) Period
i saw the exact same one, and was thinking that unlocked has nothing to do with it lol
im hoping they can make an extended with a rear door in mind of the tmo tp2 users.
im really looking into the standard size extended because this phone is already big and heavy, no need for a size boost
I was liking the idea of something like the HTC Battery bank but it's kinda expensive. What do you guys think about making something like this:
http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ele/1331980387.html
Would that even work, or worse yet, would it harm the device. Too bad I just sold my MDA or I'd have an old piecer to test it on.
I haven't seen any real high AAA Lipo, maybe 1,000 - 1,500 Mah not any improvement

I did the same... I bought the unbranded 2800. I just looked and seen that it wont fit. I bought it on the 22nd and they put a note saying it would only fit the unbranded on the 24th... So now I have to wait for it to get here, just to send it back...

probably after I gave them neutral feedback, Listen I waited over a week to get it and paid the express shipping, its not a total lose, cause the batter is still good, but there is nothing they can do to make me happy, short of refunding me the whole sale, and I wouldn't want or expect that, so.... "just changed unlocked to unbranded" sothis don't happen to anyone else
mugen batteries for touch pro 2 will be in stock by the end of next week. their customer service is superb, will surely buy the 1800mAh one, though I fear it won't be much of an improvement...

won't see much of an improvement till u move too the 2400 and beyond, I'll wait till they come out with an extened back cover
I wonder if this is correct: 1800mAh is 20% more than 1500, so is it correct to assume that it will increase my phone life of nearly 20% (likely less - but HOW MUCH less?)?
There are some 1800mAh batteries for the TP2 on ebay but I can't imagine a $1.50 battery is going to do much besides melt my phone.
and what about that:

It's hard to tell how thick the back cover is
Got my Mugen 1800 ma battery today
It arrived in todays mail will let you know what my impressions are after I have used it for a few days.
Hi,
Found this link and its kinda cheap compared to Seido. Anyone have tried this before and any review?

I bought this battery from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PRCU0U/ref=ox_ya_os_product
It was $23 shipped. Very good battery its best to run it down then recharge it. I can leave gps/3g on all day and not fear a dead battery after a few hours!
Pretty decent battery and half the price of the Seido. I've been using it for a few months now. The only problem is the back cover only ships in one color (black). Otherwise I would recommend it.

2300mah on ebay
I've two of the 2300 (or is it 2400?) mah batteries from ebay. the price was $14 or so shipped each. My g1 runs for 12-16 hours of heavy, constant use; or 3 -5 days of light use. Standby, I dunno how long because it always being used !
the wife's phone (white one) is still using the stock and crappy battery. She kills it in 5 hours. Women are mean !

wow. it is the same product at the amazon. now we got cheaper price. thanks for the head up!
Still waiting on mine from china. 10-21 Days, that is crazy.
What I really wonder regarding all those extended batteries:
Why do the manufacturers leave so much space unused? I mean if you get the new back cover, it must be as thick as the battery. But on top and below the battery there is just air floating around between the phone electronics and the extended cover, where battery power could be placed.
I would be glad to see a manufacturer use this space as well - so the battery might be formed somehow like a flat T. Would be a little more complicated to produce but might well be worth an extra 1000 mAh without making the phone thicker - that should convince some customers I guess.
