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.

which one is it? and how would you buy it?
A stronger battery would be great.
I got one of the advertised 1500mah batterys off of ebay today for $20. When it gets here i will do a battery comparison and update you on the resaults.
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.

Done. I used one under which I've ordered from them before, so maybe that'll pull a tiny bit more weight than a random e-mail address....

Boxwave shows it as available now
Interesting that they never bothered to tell me, but Boxwave is showing the extended battery on their site now:

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.
Music Man
4500mAh battery is triple that of the standard
Any thought of this model:
http://picasaweb.google.com/mugenpower8/HTCTouchHDT8282Blackstone?feat=directlink
Very good...but...
I purchased one of the extended batteries for my Palm Treo 680 when they came out new.
While the battery had fantastic performance, the supplied cover finish (you get a replacement cover which is deeper to fit the larger high capactiy battery) and fit was of very average quality. The fit was loose, the plastic of a poor quality compared to the oem supplied cover and the colour did not match the device. If Mugen were to release a high capacity battery which fit within the device with the standard cover (i.e. high capacity same size battery as oem) supplied with the device, I'd buy the battery in a heartbeat.
Make up your own mind....
urrgggg, it looks so ugly! Loses all the flatness of the Touch HD ... There might be a new technology battery which can keep the original size, while increasing the capacity ... probably in near future with all this fuel and so on techies ...
Mugen are a good company do not worry about buying there products. first purshased there batterys years ago for the HP 2210. good quaility lions!
thanks for the pictures, now we know how ugly the Blackstone gets with that
Boxwave Extended Battery
I just bought a Boxwave 2500mah extended battery for my touch HD
http://www.boxwave.com/products/hig...pacity-extended-battery-htc-touch-hd_3387.htm
and so far Im pretty happy with its performance, first I was opting to go for the Mugen ones but they're to expensive and will really make your HD looks chubby. Im using my device watching mp4 movies and AMVs at the subway and some browsing, so standard battery is not enough. Now my biggest challenge is to find a customed case for the Touch HD that will fit the extended battery.
Im planning to modify my Boxwave smoke gray crystal clear flexi case to fit a extended batteried Touch HD.
Wish me luck.
I bought before 15 days a 1500 ma battery from www.netimes.com
Very good and chip. I had test also with diamond these batteries without problems. So now after 15 days I can say HD 1500 netimes battery it is the same good like at the Diamond.
I prefer to have 3 batteries in my bag than one which make my HD so fat.
yeah, it looks ****ty!
Can you please post some pics of the sides and any other angle so as to get an idea how this it makes the hd?
I really NEED to purchase one tonigh or in the morning, hope you can help.

WOW, totally shocked by that. I wrongly thought that the HD battery life wasn't as good as other phones including the iPhone.
Excellent news for us though!!!!
I have buy a 1800 mAh battery for my diamond, and now I can say it's a big mistake. Very ugly diamond with that battery and the plastic cover did even not close right. In the second minute I have throw it on the window.
I do not recommend to anyone to buy such thing.
Better seconnd original battery or mabe a emergency charger (you plug in the usb and charge the device)

Thanks for the pics! NOT BAD but i think i can make that setup thinner. Can you post a picture showing just tje battery without the cover? Thanks!
Good heavens!!! has that phone in the pictures given birth yet? must be twins!... seriously though I wish some case vendor would create a belt wearable case with a built-in "top-off" battery... especially if it used a standard HTC HD battery so I could stick it in my craddle to charge the same time as my phone!

+1 for that. VERY cheap, i got 3 for my extended hikes, works like a charm. It's a better solution than the "portable power stations" too.
I really think it's a boom...
has someone this one?? is it fake or what

no fake but a cheap china product, I dont trust it, maybe it can explode
There is no god, where is the beauty of the phone now!
The image looks odd because the battery cover definitely isn't for the hero, maybe the image isn't of the actual product but an example.

Can anyone speculate on this items validity?
or they make mystake with photos or is hymmmm .... funy
I'v just sent them an email requesting when they expect to get the stock in, will update this thread with their response.
Have they responded yet?

Nope they haven't, can you send them an email as well, this extended battery would be really useful
Interested too, any response?
I asked when batteries should come and they responded:
Hi, We don't have an ETA for the extended batteries, the standard batteries are coming into us later th is week. Best regards, Easy Devices Sales Team
I see they list the voltage as 3.7v, but the battery for the Hero is 4.2v according to the picture on the HTC accessory website (I don't have my G2 with me to check).
hmmmm interesting!
well, the battery in my hero is indeed 3.7v.
I guess that expansys (who run the accessory site for HTC) have done their usual stuff of putting the wrong picture up.
Finally! Batteries have arrived!

Says you need the cover that is supplied with the battery, you can tell by the shape of the cover that is supplied that it's different!
Barring any breakthrough it storage density, you will always need a bigger battery cover to work with a almost 2x capacity battery
Ordered one from ebay now
Please let us know how they perform and if they explode themselves
Ok, if you don't hear anything from me within 14 days then you better stay away then ;-)

I had a battery like that in my G1 and I hated the extra bulk in my pocket. I think the extra bulk on the hero would be even worse. I like the sleekness of this phone
Just ordered one of the eBay extended batteries myself, I dont like that the cover is white but will report back how the battery performs.
Mine arrived this morning, The battery indicator has been at full all day and still is.
It even still fits in my Krusell leather slip case ok as well.
I still dont like it being white but it sort of goes with the titanium of my orange branded hero.
The back cover was a perfect fit as well by the way, all the clips went in to place perfectly.
Very happy chappy so far.
have invested - same they only do white cases but a cross I have to bear.
will report back on life span etc.
can anyone confirm if they had to give it a full 16 hour charge or just the standard hour or so through the mains?
cheers

I found this online but being a former touch pro user this is clearly a touch pro battery yet all the sites I see it on are selling it as a touch pro2 battery it says its a 1800mah part number 35H00117-02M just wondering what the deal is looked in the forums wasn't able to find anything.
could you possibly provide a link?
just do a google search for 35H00117-02M theres plenty of people selling it online but all the pics i have seen show an extended touch pro battery I'm confused cause all the places selling it show it for a touch pro2
I know it's not OEM, but Seidio is selling an extended Innocell 1750 battery that is the same size as the original (no new door needed). Many folks I have talked to have been very happy with the Innocells and they are a definitely a good quality battery.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17htp2.htm
It is an oem battery I wasn't asking about the seidio battery I already know about it. I am trying to figure out what the one I listed was. I have a 2100mah battery for my phone already.
A lot of websites report it as being for the TP2, but the pictures show a somewhat square batt, where the TP2 batt is more rectangular. In addition, the contact plates (3 on the 1800, 4 on the 1500) are not in the same place. I don't think this batt fits the TP2...
if you wait a week or so I can tel you how good the batteries are from hong kong
I was confused my self I thought maybe one seller just had it wrong but everyplace I have looked show it being for a touch pro2 but all the pictures show it being a touch pro battery which are very different was just trying to clear up any confusion but looks like others are confused as well. The best bet if you are looking for a cheap exteneded battery currently and don't mind a little extra bulk is going with the verizon one that fits sprint as well and you can get it for $35 shipped and thats a 2100mah battery
I was looking as we all have, for a high capacity battery.
I know myself and i'm not the adventurous kind, so I narrowed my search to HTC original batteries only.
A few days ago I found on ebay the holy grail of batteries:
HTC original (OEM)
1600mAh
35H00125-07M - compatible with HTC Pure cell phone models only
At least this is what the vendor states.
I asked the vendor to send me Hi-res pics of the battery and here they are.
on the front of the battery it is stated that the model is RHOD160, and i'm pretty sure that means it won't fit in topaz or pure (that is, without applying a moderate physical force), can someone state otherwise ?
you better try looking at http://www.htcrepairparts.com/high-...tc-touch-diamond-2535353882300mah-p-3364.html

you are right. double time with this battery. but looks crapy, heavier and brakes original cover holder. after that, china holder falls down, need a tape to glue it to main body. original one holds allright.
that was in my case. if u wont drop it - it might never happen
This is not the same as having a thin battery that fits the original battery cover, but is almost 1.5 in its capacitance.
My questions still stands, is it important that the model written on the battery is RHOD160 ? - would it fit ?
Any pure user knows what model is written on its phone's original battery.
yes, it will fit.
The Vendor told me that he sold all his batteries a few days ago, so I have to look for a new one..
Can I ask you what made you so sure about it ? - I thought that the model RHOD160 means it won't fit - cause touch pro2 batteries don't fit in topaz.
