I have been searching for a spare battery for my new PDA2K. The standard battery capacity for PDA2K is 1500 mAmps. While I was searching - found 2200 mAmps being the same size as standard.
http://www.imatephonestore.com/selectItem.asp?itemMDL=PDA2KXBATT& plan=NO
Of course I'd rather have higher capacity one (almost 130% the charge) but I am reluctant to buy this one because it is "not standard" and I didn't see any reviews / recommendations neither on i-mate website nor anywhere else.
Did anyone try this or similar product? Should I go for "extended capacity" one? Thnx.
You can go for 3500 +
Bought my 2400 from here http://www.lionbattery.com and they have an 3500 as well. 2400 works like a charm only Batt Pro can't handle the 4 hrs + but who care's
Thanks, javar. Although 3500 seems as a dream come true I will go with a 2400 one because 3500 will not fit into the case that I have for my device. 2400 seems to be of the standard size -- it is just a little bit thicker along the whole length of the device which is okay with me. I actually thin that the original PDA2K should have sported the same approach to increase the battery life. Thanks a lot for the link again!
The 2400 last 10+ hours of heavy usage (bluetooth+CoPilot continuously running in the background, GPRS+web browsing, some phone)... With the standard battery, I usually have to switch battery around after lunch. With this battery, my battery level is around 20% when I'm ready to go to bed around midnight.
>>>> However, this darn battery won't charge in the spare battery cradle. It has to be plugged into your PPC... <<<< :lol: forgot to plug in the power cable!!!
This is strange. I have been talking to the guys at lionbattery.com and they told me that it charges perfectly fine from the cradle. Anyway, I have already made an order and will wait for my battery to come and test it in the cradle. I will keep you guys posted...
I have the 2400 and it does charge. You have to force it a little to get it in thats all.
I have 2400 as well, and can confirm that it charges from craddle.
Dears,
Thanks for choosing Mugen Power as your after market battery, we will do a lot of test before we release our battery.
I have used the 2400 va battery from www.lionbattery.com:
Item No.: HLI-XDA2SSL
Description: 2400mAh BATTERY (v.3) - PDA2K, XDA IIs, MDA III, 9090, XV6600, SX66 & more
Did 3-4 cycles already - excellent capacity, didn't reset my device, charges from cradle ok. I guess this v.3 really fixed the bugs and issues others had with the battery.
So far I am happy with it.
its look very expesive 72 us dollar
its look very expensive
does anyone know if the 2400 battery will fit into the BRANDO hardcase?? I really like this case a lot, but desire an extended battery. Thanks

If you decide to go with the 1350MAH battery please let us know you're thoughts regarding both performance and vendor.
Thank you
I got a 1250mAH battery for my MDA Vario from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/SINO-WORLD about a week ago (search for "Wizard"). They delivered it in about a week. It seems to have around about the same capacity as the original battery.
It came to $24.88 including delivery to the UK but I used a Paypal voucher that reduced this by 10% so it ended up about £13. They gave me this link to the battery manufacturer's WWW site
found this site the other day, may try the 2500ma one.

Does that battery (the 2500mAh) have the same dimensions and pins as the Wizard battery, though?
it doesnt:
PLEASE NOTE THIS BATTERY INCREASES THE THICKNESS OF THE XDA . REPLACEMENT BACK COVER IS INCLUDED

and...its for the Magician
This one is for the Wizard:

hmm.. almost double the life - might be worth the extra thickness. Now if only the showed some proper pictures of the actual thing in a wizard + new back cover :|
Also cute:

1-AA battery recharger. They didn't post any info on just how much it's able to recharge, but it's enough if you're in a bind and should fit easily in a lot of the pocketpc cases
just ordered the 2200mah one from here
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=2971
will let you know how it is particularly how thick and how long it lasts. only 25 pounds could be a bargain
http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=332
mega beefy and over twice the capacity of the standard - but out of stock.
a second battery in my wallet seems a better bet
Still waiting on some reviews on how the extra thickness and battery life is like :?
Sorry for the delay in pics guys but also wanted to test battery and try with different cases. The battery is bigger than expected but not as big or thick as mugen 2600 mah. the cover seems a bit larger than it should be - it may be possible to trim it but have not tried.
Found that with battery in and leather case on - no battery cover, things not so bad and only slight bulge at back.With cover supplied I wouldn't show my phone in public lol
here are my battery tests
Wizard battery
Standard 1250 Mah
25% loss 2.5 hours browsing
60% loss 5 hours browsing plus some game, radio, omap 240 15 mins
Extended 2200 Mah (75% more Mah)
20% loss over 2.5 hours browsing
40% loss 5 hours browsing plus some game, music, omap 240 15 mins
44% loss 7 hours browsing reconfig ppc
46% loss 8 hours browsing reconfig ppc.
60% loss 9.5 hours browsing (nearly double standard battery)!
80% loss 11.5 hours browsing
90% loss 12 hours browsing
All browsing was continuous and on GPRS.
Fairly impressive I thought for a 25 pounds sterling battery!
here are the pics - taken with my spv c500 so apologize for quality
The case btw is a modified krussell case meant for Magician but works for Wizard.
In short then decided to keep the battery - I wish it was slimmer but no other available extended batteries in the uk I can find and at the price can't comlain

external battery charger
has any one come across a external battery charger for the HTC wizard t-mobile T-Mobile MDA Vario
I'd like to see some Li-poly battery alternatives. Has a higher energy to volume ratio so you could pack more juice into the standard battery size, plus its lighter.

Yes see here http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=127197&partner=froogle
Dont know which country you are from, but expansys are good and are in us too.
meschle - I think they meant a charger for a spare battery. Kinda like how some of the cradles for other devices have another slot to charge a 2nd battery.

does anyone know where i can buy this? thanks
Hello.
I`m having a hard time finding a battery for my O2 XDA mini S, in my country(Bulgaria) - and I just found an internet store selling Qtek 9100 batteries, but it doesnt say if its a WIZA16 battery.
Is the Qtek a similar(or the same,but different name) device and would the battery work for me?
Is there Anybody out there?
bump
qtek 9100, htc wizard etc etc it's the same device. go look on ebay (hongkong sellers). They sell 21389120mAh batteries - don't worry about mAh, they are all the same inside just different stickers. They are sold pretty cheaply so the average (or slightly less than average) capacity isn't an issue (for me).
Hope this will help
i'm also searching for a battery. the extended batteries are good? Vik Vasilev, you can buy from ebay.co.uk
what is the original battery for htc wizard? is a big difference between the genuine battery and the cheap batteries?
Hello, i have found in ebay this battery: http://cgi.ebay.it/EXTENDED-BATTERI...&pt=Accessori_per_palmari&hash=item4151a8df09

It looks like it comes with a backcase because the battery is so fat... :/. Reminds me of my Wing.

my friend has that and it works Insanely well!!!
we tested it out when he got it and it lasted for around 4 days while using it.
mine last around 12hours of constant use before dead at school lol (non extended battery)
its amazing for trips and if u use ur phone alot like me however it comes at a Huge cost. and by huge i mean HUGE! its enormous
it makes ur phone like a brick so prob want regular battery for daily use. extended for trips/backup
i used to have one of these, didnt like the bulkyness tho :/
I just got a 2800 mah battery the other day off ebay but it has a silver battery cover. I've been using it for 24 hours of moderate usage (approx an hour talk time, 30 minutes 3g internet, 10 minutes fm radio, some google maps using the gps, the rest of the time on standby) and the battery still shows 80%. So far, I'm very impressed with the battery.
The battery cover clicks on but does not work too well on the ATT Tilt 2 because the volume/ptt buttons are recessed and no longer usable. Also, the stylus is just about impossible to get out. I ordered an HTC OEM extended battery cover that I hope will fit...I'll post when it shows up.
ebay search for "Extended Battery for HTC 35H00123-03M BA S390 RHOD160" should pull up the one I bought.
edit:
Good news: The battery lasted 4 days on one charge. Battery charge dropped 20% each day with same moderate usage: each day, about an hour of talk and an hour of internet/texting/etc...standby the rest of the time.
Bad news: The oem extended battery cover I bought doesn't quite fit over this battery. The four corners of the cover will click on, but there is a gap along the sides. The buttons work, but it's obviously not on correctly. The battery is probably 1/2 mm too thick.
Update: I was able to trim the edges of the battery's case with a razor blade and get it to fit. Don't tell your safety department
Can anyone please guide me about a working extended battery??
I did not mind the bulge it makes but atleast it should give me one and half day heavy usage backup.
1700 mAh
Hi,
whait a while. I've ordered a 1700mAH Accu and will post my results.
http://cgi.ebay.com/2600mAh-HTC-Tou...044332?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb95eef2c
two days of heavy usage
looks bulky, but thats u get for mobility
ps, after using it for a couple months, i returned to standart battery. just of a look.
I,ve ordered a 1700mAh Accu from Honkong. The size is the same as the orginal one from HTC.
It works - BUT!!!! The Accu and the Cover description suggerate that the Accuu has 1700mAh - it is not true. The internal Battery Programm shows 1100mAh like the orginal Accu. My tests confirm that i don't get more standbytmie or onlione time.
