I am thinking of buying a Mugen extended battery for my HD. I know it's bulkier, but I don't mind the extra dimensions/weight for the peace of mind that I won't run out of power. I have used Mugen before for my last smartphone, and I was totally happy with the performance.
I also know from past experience, how difficult it was to find a case that fit the phone with the extended battery.
Anybody use a pouch type (preferably leather) case that fits the HD with the extended Mugen battery? either 4500mAh or 3000mAh
Thanks in advance for sharing this valuable information
I was looking for the same thing too because I bought a 2500mah extended battery with extended cover from Boxwave but I cant seem to find a case that will fit my HD with a extended battery, so what I did is I bought some cheap silicon cases from ebay and just modified it to fit my Touch HD with extended battery.

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

There is no god, where is the beauty of the phone now!
There are lots of offers of the STAR161 (1100-battery) battery door. But I need the STAR160 battery door...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You can get the whole housing off ebay, but at about 30-40$
Anybody knows...?
Does a Star161 battery fit on a Qtek8500?
The Qtek8500 standard has the Star160 battery, which is thinner.
On Ebay.com you can buy a Star161 battery including battery cover (so the thicker one) and it looks like it'll fit instead of the Star160. Would be good, because a lot of peolpe can switch to 1100mAh instead of 750mAh...
Anyone ever tested it?
P.S.: in some days I've got a Cingular 3125 (which has the slightly thicker battery) next to my Qtek 8500, so I'll let you guys (and girls) know!
I'm looking for a slim battery door cover also.
Fits!

Answer: YES, it fits! So for all Qtek8500 users: just buy a Star161 1100mAh with slightly thicker battery cover and have more battery power!
So I just bought an extended battery from accessory swamp.
This one: http://www.accessoryswamp.com/3500mah-extended-life-htc-evo-3d-battery.html
Will these cases fit that battery cover?
These: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Evo-3D-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item84b8bb48cb
It would be great to find out.
Thanks guys.
that extended battery looks like any other $15 ebay extended battery, but twice the price. so really that extended case should fit.
i'im going with this extended battery + cover + case in a few days after i see how i like the evo 3d: http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-3500...63SQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320023461&sr=8-2
Other inexpensive cases for extended batteries EVO 3D
There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the evo 3d with the extended battery.
I have question, I have extended battery and it is much better than the oem, it 1950 mAh, but when I open any battery monitoring program, it keep saying 1700 mAh. Is this normal?

This very much depends on the phone and the way you initially calibrated your battery. I recommend to read this guide from Mugen Power for more info and also look into rooting the phone to be able to access power mngmt .bin files.
hi, i'm looking for extended batteries that come with replacement back cover for motorola photon
can anybody give me input ?
on how the battery perform
and how good the quality of the replacement back cover ?
actually i'm leaning towards seidio because i've used them in may blackberries and they are good.
and also the other option that i found is
either the cheapo ebay stuff (where i'm afraid about the quality of the battery and the quality of the back cover
and also the Mugen power battery (i found the price is too steep for and extended battery)
so please advice
thank you.
I've been using a TREXCELL 3500 battery from AMAZON.Pricing is in the $20-$25 range & this is definitely a solid choice over SEIDIO.
I get a solid 10 hrs of moderate to heavy use & 14-16 hrs. of light to moderate use w/o re-charging.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526066
No problems with them yet.
Can anyone give a link to a decent external battery charger?

I got 50 Hours with light use on my TREXCELL 3500 mAh =D Favorite battery!
hows the quality of the back cover on trexcell ?
do they feel flimsy ?
I've got both a TREXCELL & INCREDICELL(don't recommend the INCREDICELL).
The battery covers are equal, if not exactly the same.
Care does need to be taken when removing the cover, especially around the kickstand area, as that is the weakest point on the cover due to the contours that are present to accommodate the extended battery thickness.
Not a big deal, or, deal breaker. You can get replacement covers by simply buying an el cheapo extended battery for a few $ on e-Bay, AMAZON, etc.......
SEIDIO will sell the extended battery cover by itself, for $14..95.
You simply just have to call & ask for it, unless SEIDIO has begun listing them on their website.
Anyone ever try the Droid Bionic battery on the Photon? I am thinking about getting it.

hi thanks
this is what i really want
a hyperion battery and a seidio back cover
do they fit ?
why hyperion, cause i've heard good reviews of it on this forum and the seidio battery doesn't get good reviews
and also my friends buy the hyperion battery with the replacement back cover, but thte cover is very bad, he broke the clips within 2 weeks, so i supposed that the seidio back case is supposedly better.
the only question for me now is , are they compatible ?
i mean will the seidio back cover accommodate the hyperion extended battery ?
hey all,
Im thinking about getting an extended battery for my note, probably a 5200mah. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before or if anyone thinks it would work. There is a tpu case thats meant to cover phones with extended batteries. Ad says n7000 but ive seen another ad that lists the n7000 and i717 as being compatible.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/S021-NEW-TPU...hone_PDA_Cases&var&hash=item27ce2a9ae0&_uhb=1
what do ya think?
Hi, I bought both the tpu case($5) and the 5200mha extended battery with back cover($10) from eBay and am pretty satisfied. The case fits real well around this extended back cover, not being the best case only because I would prefer something more rugged, however it has a hole for charms. The extended battery is pretty good so far as well. I am a really heavy user, and this 5200mha battery lasts me for a while, definitely time and half of the original 2600mha battery. I read forums using my phone and am constantly flashing roms or playing/downloading new apps. In my personal opinion I think this battery and case are worth the $15.
triavq,
So how do you like the battery and case? I know it's been many months, but I am curious?
I have the same one ordered (in Black) but not received yet..long way from china to here!
I going to try and squeeze that case around a 7000mAh battery and back cover. I don't like the squared off back cover that comes with some of those extended batteries.
I am hoping the 7000mAh battery isn't much thicker than the 5200mAh ones.
