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.

Look on ebay, i got a 1500mAh battery for dirt cheap.
would the two compare up in term of hours of usage, will it make a huge difference?

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

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.

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.

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...

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.
Oliver
I see that Mugen have updated their website to say that standard size and large capacity batteries will be available for the TC at the end of April

Looking forward to the OEM sized high capacity battery.
Thanks for the heads up.

Nicely spotted Reteb. Thanks. I've been hoping for this for a while
I see the capacities are still TBD. Judging by the currently shipping TyTN II batteries it would be reasonable to expect at least the same, i.e. 1500mAh for the same-size replacement and 3000mAh for the over-sized replacement.
Does anyone have any experience with Mugen power batteries? I came here from the PalmOS world and my previous device was a Sony Clie TH-55. That had quite an active forum and one thing we discovered there was that there were a lot of third-party batteries out there for the TH-55 which, if you just looked at the manufacturer's claimed mAh ratings, should have delivered between 15% and 20% extra battery life per charge compared to the factory-fitted battery.
What we actually found by running standard battery discharge test programs on many devices was that in real life the replacement batteries at best only just matched, and in most cases failed to match, the performance of the factory-fitted battery. Whether this was because of dishonest labelling by the manufacturers or whether it was because they had sat on shelves in hot warehouses for too long was never determined.
I just hope that Mugen power label their batteries honestly and store them properly before shipment because even a 1500mAh battery should in theory be an 11% increase over the factory-fitted one and that would give me another 80 minutes of music playing time on my device so definitely worth having.

Here is one new extended capacity monster for the Touch Cruise.
http://www.boxwave.com/products/hig...ty-extended-battery-htc-touch-cruise_3046.htm
Have you seen this one?:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/replacement-battery-for-htc-touch-cruise-p3650-p-1028.html
Is not extended, but I think, the cheapest...and it works as the original one!!!
I bought two batteries and a lot of more things (cases, car support, protectors, cradle, stylus..), and I have to say its a very serious shop..
Wow, that's pretty cheap, I prefer to have one or two spare if I'm away for a while rather than having a huge bulge sticking out of the back. No catch? Will this also be the replacement battery for the Orbit 2?
Spare Battery - Cheap.
Found this on eBay, and checked just now (August 4, 2008) and they still have them. Ships from Asia, but arrived in under a week and is absolutely dirt cheap and perfect quality. The wall charger is the only convenient way to charge a spare battery, and the battery plus the charger together for $7 + 6.50 shipping is amazing.
And, of course, i do realize that i sound like the spokesperson for the seller - but it's really an amazing deal and i wanted to share witcha

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

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
Unbranded Extended Battery
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:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/HTC-Touch-Pro-2-...3?hash=item20ad159355&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

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.

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.

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.
