Hi
I've done a fair bit of research but can't seem to find any Topaz batteries for sale yet in the UK. Expansys has a 33 day lead time.
Has anyone else seen anything better?
What I'd really like is the htc spare battery desktop charger that I had for the Diamond batteries, but I suppose we'll have to wait a while for those to come out.
Thanks
Stoatie
Play.com are showing the spare battery as available from 27th April - and under £20 (compared to expansys £33).

Thanks Mate. I've just ordered two of them.
Has anyone seen any advance notice/product prototypes for standalone battery chargers for these devices? It's a great feeling to know you've always got a couple of extra batteries ready to go. Especially on the road ...
BA S360 available on HTC's website (through expansys I think) on 21.05.2009
Price: 39,99 EUROS
They say they have 10 in stock:

Picked up mine from Inkino this morning. They come in a HTC Blister pack. Now all I need is a desk cradle with a battery slot. This is coming shortly according to Inkino, albeit a third party one. Unfortunately HTC are not that far-thinking on the accessory front.
Chill
Just picked up the Diamond2 Battery from Inkino on TCR, originals.
They tend to have most of the accessories in stock, got spare stylus (I tend to lose styli easy!!) and they do the Brando screen pro, always used these since my first HTC - TYTN II.

MoMax has now released charger and X-Level battery for HTC Touch Diamond2 in HK
I got it in Mongkok a set of battery and charger for $260HKD
http://www.momax.net/products_detail.php?cid=1&scid=1520&brandcat=82&pid=11555
PS - I know this is for HK now but it likes to have reference in other area =)
What's an X-Level Battery? I had hoped it was a higher capacity, but it appears to be 1100mAh which is standard.

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.

I searched but did not find much current information-
Has anyone gone to an oversized high capacity replacement battery for their wizard? I see several on ebay from $17 to $30 delivered and doubling the battery capacity has to be a good thing.....right?

i was thinking about it as all wm devices suck on battery life... but i charge mine all day at work and on my nitestand, and it usually lasts about two days without charging anyways....
i figured my brick is already big enough i'd just buy a second battery and keep alternating the two (keep one in the car or something with a car charger)...
I did purchase a large / double capacity battery - and am very happy with the purchase. Yes, it makes the brick a bit larger, and does come with a battery door as the original will not fit.
I was having charging issues, believe my battery was at the end of its lifespan - was having to charge every night, and if battery got below 51%, my wizard would continually loop at windows mobile flash screen.
I've gone as long as four days without a charge with the new extended battery - that is running some of the XDA WM6 roms - using wifi, etc.
I find the phone easier to hold with the larger battery
Just my .02 cents
Have a good one
does the phone with the bigger battery still fit in the regular case?
Thanks
The phone still fits in my holder - that was a big plus for me.......
The holder I have is a brown leather one with the logo Reiko on it. Came with the phone when I bought it on ebay. It has elastics on the side, so not sure if it is a specific holder for the wizard only.
Can't really help much more than that
Have a good one
Thanks for the info, bill_in_mtl.
I have decided to buy one. Hopefully it'll fit in the case.
What's a good place to buy one?
I found someone on e-bay selling them for $12 shipped.
http://cgi.ebay.com/2400mAh-Ext-OEM...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
It says it's by Celxpert.
Is this battery to be trusted, or could this turn out to be a cheap, low quality product?
I purchased mine on ebay also - for just about the same price. Have had no issues whatsoever with the new battery.
One note is that you need to ensure you identify which model you have - the different Wizard models have different battery doors.
Cingular 8125 and TMobile MDA have different battery doors. I noticed that the ebay item you linked shows it is for the mda.
I ordered and received the correct item for the 8125.
Thanks again for the info.
I just ordered the one I linked to.
I do have a T-mobile MDA.
I'll report here how it works out.
After one day of using the high capacity battery I got from e-bay, I can say so far it's performing great. The phone is bulkier now, but it can still fit in the original case that T-Mobile sent with the phone, although barely.
I may start making a lot of voip calls over wi-fi, so can't do without a high capacity battery.
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
Reteb
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

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
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
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.
The official site doesn't seem to stock these anymore. Does anyone know if they are available anywhere else?
I have been through a Cameron Sino replacement which, despite being 1500mah, lasts no time at all after only a couple of months. The original even at 1350mah was a better performer.
Have you tried Ebay? I just bought brand new battery's for my kaiser from there for less than $12
dealextreme for about 3$ each or 8$ for a extra large battery with a replacement phone back. I order from there all the time and the best part is free shipping no matter how small the order~
the batteries on dealextreme are aged and the one that looks like the original is a cheap counterfait, real junk
